so, your bowels have just about started functioning properly and the world has finally stopped vibrating after the last bass onslaught from the sludge camp. its going to require gonads of steel to whack up the volume on this latest beast, but we know you never lost your hardcore. nevertheless, as we are a caring bunch at sludge hq, we feel obliged to warn in advance that this latest slab of dubstep pressure from trick or treat is the sort of big tuna that might leave some needing a job lot of nappies and a year off work to recover.

slowdive wurden stilistisch besonders durch noise-rock-bands wie sonic youth und my bloody valentine, aber auch durch gothic- und dark-wave-gruppen wie siouxsie and the banshees, the cure und den cocteau twins beeinflusst.

somewhere up in the sky… thats the spirit, good and bad, for legends and other space-cowboys. the space for original characters like elbee bad, who did his thing back in new york in the 80ties with his early house ep on nu groove- with just a big bang and elbee was there, from the very beginning to now. by now he lives and works in berlin and yet remained a true school house pioneer that even dj hell couldnt resist to capture his talent for a retro-perspective release of his on >international deejay gigolo< & peepz like matias aguayo and his cómeme-posse recall on him.

luv jam, maxim lany, katorski, scott ferguson are the peeps doing good here! lany records with its 2nd release! on the a-side warm vocal house with a jazzy vibe. on the flip deep, darker, menacing dancefloor grooves! just like the first lany this one will be a steady choice for many!

returning to the kitchen after an over extended jaunt in the bathroom, the sound diggers grant us with another slap happy handful of flavor with their new piece entitled >dont flap just jack<. here at flapjack we do encourage everyone to wash their hands before returning from the bathroom to the decks. with the nasty low down n dirty grooves that are all over this ep, i am not so sure the sound diggers washed up very well, or at all. as we say in the business, when you get dirt in your salad, eh, its just a lil flava.

nice price deal !!! 2009. a over dimensional first release of dropsoup wherein the twilight shimmers thru the ordinaryand the absurd sounds common. with monotonous jazz tracks of just so nah and well glitched funkstep of typhique. ... made by machines, i believe ...

raf pisani and marco conte, aka audiomatiques, have long been involved in techno but its since they began working together as audiomatiques that everything began to click. together with roberto capuano, an artist who has already released for loose, claque musique, monique musique and suara, the duo have delivered 3 sterling tracks, which are backed by a remix from rino cerrone, for loose. cerrone takes full advantage of his position as label boss and places his remix of >so bad< in pole. its a walloping but low slung affair riddled with hypnotic rises and false drops which build incredible tension. in original form, >so bad< is a pounding affair. the focus is centred around an unholy bass heavy kick with just the minimum of percussive flourishes and vocal effects doing the rest with aplomb. >mind trip<, while equally as heavy, is fluid and slick. swinging tribal vibes and some clever effects work paired with an airtight arrangement makes for a surefire club burner. finally, the bizarre yet compelling leads of the aptly titled >crazy synth< close proceedings with a fever-dream fervour. original and memorable, this is a genuinely anthemic cut.

following 2009s sizzler >caribbean girl< man of the moment mario basanov returns to under the shade for more heat! utilizing the sticky sweet vocal talents of miss bee >just think about< is a summer scorcher thatll have you reaching for the speedos! remixes come courtesy of art of tones, social disco club & mirror people and marios own dub mix

warm atmospheric extended house grooves.

this the latest offering from osunlade/soul jazz joint label. deep afro house with slick beats, chanting vocal and tribal percussion.

first vinyl release for sonora records. after a number of digital releases, arrives at this moment always interesting for a young label. the original track is signed by two artists making their debut on vinyl, matthew lima and alberto pellicioli. they show a very refined tech-house track, with something reminiscent of tribal rhythms, sound deep and mysterious. everything seems to run very slowly. but with something relaxing and visionary that leaves the listener wrapped or those who dance in a storm of love. the remix by francesco bonora (etichetta nera, frequenza limited, plastic city, etc.) creates even more peace of mind. done well both in rhythm and in the deep atmosphere. its a beautiful walk through a sea of positive energy. valeria karter gives a touch of eccentric and intriguing woman. with a voice sample and a bass line that seems to create a sexy momnet. sounds clean and just groove, to move all that women can enjoy... played and supported by marco carola, ralf, soukie & windish, larry peters, franco bianco and more. first vinyl release for sonora records. after a number of digital releases, arrives at this moment always interesting for a young label. the original track is signed by two artists making their debut on vinyl, matthew lima and alberto pellicioli. they show a very refined tech-house track, with something reminiscent of tribal rhythms, sound deep and mysterious. everything seems to run very slowly. but with something relaxing and visionary that leaves the listener wrapped or those who dance in a storm of love. the remix by francesco bonora (etichetta nera , frequenza limited, plastic city, etc.) creates even more peace of mind. done well both in rhythm and in the deep atmosphere. its a beautiful walk through a sea of positive energy. valeria karter gives a touch of eccentric and intriguing woman. with a voice sample and a bass line that seems to create a sexy momnet. sounds clean and just groove, to move all that women can enjoy..

in just a matter of months, life and death has swiftly established itself as purveyors of quality contemporary dance music, made by artists who would undoubtedly make anyone s short list of who i d like to invite to my afterparty . it seems only fitting then that with their newest release they ve recruited the undisputed kings of late night mayhem and madness for a paen tribute to that beautiful party after the party, the continuation of all things good and twisted.. the afterparty itself. not to take the issue of such a joyful celebration lightly, dop has gone on secret missions over the last 6 months, quietly (and often not so quietly) infiltrating afterparties worldwide and secretly extracting pituitary secretions from the rowdiest party goers at each of them. they then took these secretions, burned them in a special voodoo ceremony and immediately went into the studio to create a fitting tribute to the after-hours festivities we all hold so dear. once that was complete, friends were invited and even more deviants came to the party for some dirty late night remix action. clockwork (who s recently released it s you again on hot creations has already been the soundtrack to many an after party) are here, french wolf+lamb collaborator le loup is here, mas collective (who recorded on seminal nyc label strictly rhythm) is here and marius & david are here too.. everybody giving it their own special flavor. what an afterparty indeed.

remerc is no new face to the scene. he has been active for quite some time in the german techno scene and has recently remixed butchs track >muskatnuss< on the trapez ltd 100 anniversary compilation. he had his breakthrough in 2010 with the track >tiny calf< which ended up on the cocoon compilation >party animals< mixed by marco carola and nick curly. remerc opens his release with >ruhewolf<, a restless funkedelic rocker with a beat that juggles elements in a loose and totally cool way. the track is spiced up with elements of surreal bliss and could go on forever were there not the limitations of the vinyl. on the flipside we find an hanne & lore remix that tightens and fattens up the beat and pimps up the basslines. adding some twisted sounds ... making it a clubber par excellence. >just a bards tale< is a unique remerc track and stands out from all the productions he has done so far. here new wave coloured edgy vocals meet a post-detroit string-chord arrangement. sounds adventurous and daring? well it is to some degree... but recall >no more words< by carl craig from 1991 but executed in a dead modern way.

returning for a fourth ep on the label, berlins nick höppner continues his exploration into an ever-developing and rich production vocabulary. the rough goes with the smooth in perfect harmony on -a peck and pawn-. höppners unique sound design leads to a dense wash of sound sparkling with airy details and his characteristic sub bass subtleties, as the whole track gels together in a pushing modern house triumph. the spaced out and traveling -she parked herself- is a real fusion of the many influences behind the producers inspiration. bubbling percussion and pretty melodic structures fuse with a melting analog bassline in this high-tech and positive jam. with its heavy bass and late-night atmospheres -swivel flick- slows the pace in a warm, dubbed and droning thinkpiece that is just as cinematic as it is direct for the club. jostling just beneath the surface youll find a wealth of details that really shows off nicks talent and dedication to a non-standard groove

a1: just cant get enough - funky track. really cool disco feel, easy going. proper funky vibe, cool bass and a great vocal!
b2: someday - really smooth track. killer vocals, nice bass and beautiful brass! awesome!

independent music maker, co-founder with his team-mate teru of bcr-music, indie structure for artists, in 2009. well known since 1996 as dj/ composer/remixer/director for many french artists, he reveals during the 2009/2010 season his talent of vocalist: first, on debut bcr-music release, pumpkins 12 inches ainsi de suite, hereafter on his own vinyl singles and lp, respectively supafuh yo! and 10 ans trop tard. the 2010/2011 season will be the decisive one... the 12 inches just act will be internationally released in april 2011 featuring cl smooth & eternia! cl smooth, one the most respected and legendary mcs of all time, comes back on wax through a duo with supafuh, nowadays the unique he made with an european artist of his whole career. eternia the 2-time juno (canadian grammy award) nominated is the new groundbreaking sensation of indie hip hop! they both gave sincere energy and spiritually inspired performances to make this disc a classy & classic joint. comes with code for free digital download of this release.

with age comes maturity, or that is at least what one would normaly think. together the three men (jin choi, walker barnard & tolga fidan) associated with private golds second release, the >i m just the rain< ep, clock in at over 100 years… and yet this release is all thrusting crotches and wriggling teen lust man-booties. only kidding, the songs on this release are nothing if not mature. sure the aforementioned sex is there. in the cooing vocals, stompy bass and 60s psych of the contrapuntal guitar of the eponymous >i m just the rain< or in the jimmy edgar-like funk and grind of >revolution for the lovers<.

morphosis has been cooking. friends, nwaq & just for one day got on the re-whisk. these productions live up to all expectations from two of the most awe inspiring out there. turn them up. big tip! when this idea came about, there was some speculation here if it was a going to be plausible prospect. throughout all the deliberation one fact remained: re-workings from these artists would make the perfect precursor 12” to a full morphosis album, and it just had to happen. then it did. nwaq turns in one hell of a dub! an almost relentless 7.5 minute float, that’s underpinned with thriftily placed percussion, and a true beast of a kick drum. no build-ups. no break-downs. so, now… let’s all bow towards to the master. just for one day’s rudeboy drum palette is going to be familiar to more than a few people. let’s just say that this is the new guise of a veteran german producer who’s uncompromising music has graced some of the world’s most exciting record labels over the past 15 years. for this remix he hijacks the ‘android’s among us’ and throws them right into a sound system shootout somehow leaving the core elements from the original track in tact. seriously killer. for fans of 2 step, jungle & dr who(?). please note: this will be a vinyl only affair.

repress in black vinyl... clone west coast series continues with more hot releases! after tyrell and mr pauli its the hasbeens (tyrell & overdose) who deliver the heat!. this is as big as you can get it! we could do a lot of talking about the track and the daily struggle of human beings etc... but just listen. top production leaning on classic italo but in a new modern jacket with sharp production... the clone west coast sound :-) simply irresistible

produced by harry choo-choo romero, vocals by inaya day, remixed by robbie rivera, live elements and pete heller, released on eric morillos subliminal label. double vinyl. need we say more?

with no rest for the wicked, label exclusive artist ladzinski is back for 2011 with a solo ep jammed pack full of up front house tracks.just like that is boes most dance floor focused ep in a while with jacking 808 drum rhythms, soaring pads and plenty of hands in the air moments. all night is a true groove-a-thon that hardly lets the beat go during its nine-minute length. its a more conventional sound pushing towards tech house territory but the classic 808 drums and bouncy syncopated chords give it a fresh breath of chicago deepness..

pounding beats! classic hard techno edits!!

not just another beat, but subtle dubbed out deep house killer cuts from prostitune for just another beat volume 4!

die nummer 3 auf harry klein records zeigt sich sportlicher denn je. nach dem knackigen labeldebüt legen nun erneut die fabelhaften zenker boys eine split ep aufs parkett, die dem kollektiven bewegungsdrang einer sportbegeisterten raver-jugend voll und ganz entgegen kommen sollte. the number 3 on harry klein records appears sportier than ever. after their tricky debut once again the fabulous zenker boys hit the floor with a split ep that should satisfy the raving youth s collective urges for body exercises to its fullest.

just just >just sort of happened< according to producers fake chicken and cheap soap. although the piece has a deep and elaborate sound, the production process was unusually quick, as everything just fell into place after the duo was inspired by a great summer season in music. just just is fake chicken and cheap soaps first release on greenhorn records, alongside tigerskins and king rocs remixes of the track

one-side, clear red vinyl and super limited!

we would like to say it was all part of a big bombastic plan… the biggest selling bearfunk artist, a top song, the prague philharmonic, 40 piece strings and some great remixes all to celebrate bearfunks 50th release, but alas, it was not! bfk050 is actually the 67th single release on bearfunk. the strings were done in the lunch-break downtime of a session in prague with strings-chappie, john bryan. make good music and occasionally, just occasionally, good things happen to you! so the knife-edge karma of indie record labels flows.

the recent time and space machine album released on tirk caused quite a stir. received by fans, press and pundits with a bright glowing prodigiousness, we just had to have one final foray into the 12 inch single department. the albums title track set >phazer to stun< was always a favourite with pulsating krautrock influences, nicely melded with some dirt cheap farfisa organ, freakbeat drumming and (of course) plenty of phazer.

incl. sascha dive remix!! ray okparas ama recordings returns after the resounding success of its debut release for ama002, the surrender ep by vernon & dacosta, the belgian based house project of vernon bara and massimo dacosta. the pair have been producing music for 10 years since meeting in belgium and have released tracks on labels such as om records, robsoul, aroma, a second smell, icon, diy, amenti, ready made, klassic fiasco, off rec. and many more. they have remixed over 40 tracks for artists such as brett johnson, fred everything, johnny fiasco, swirl people, jt donaldson, bear who? and someone else to name but a few. the surrender ep is characteristic of their style with a cold, industrial groove comfortably juxtaposed with an infectious soulful spirit. the lead track, about our music, centres on a groove that just keeps on keeping on, sleazing its way through your body before the vocalsam ple with an ode to jazz punctures the track. one of the finest exponents of the groove, sascha dive, steps into the remix for about our music with a dark beat dub that corrupts the bass line and warps the vocal into a distorted, eerie sermon…

we welcome the swiss production-duo blackbird with their debut single on purple music. >just glow< is a vocal-house tune with a spanish-touch & a pinch of the typical elements for what purple music is known. >just glow< was already featured on the 2010 summer sampler & here comes the full package with the original version & a brand new peak time mix by nightrhymes.

hit alert ! support by: dj sneak, d julz, mark farina, fred everything, markus fix, andre crom… dj sneak played just because!!

just brilliant two track 12 inch vinyl with serious uk funky

hers is the most anticipated debut album of 2010 and her name is on everybodys lips. seldom before has a young artist so captivated the attention of a generation that she personifies. >the ultimate it girl<, >the new electro pop sensation<, >totally in tune with the spirit of the times<: these are just a few quotes from her reviewers. the delayed >sex dreams and denim jeans< is finally complete. uffie took her time, for after years of continuous whirlwind she needed to take a step back, put her bags down and concentrate on her writing.

after 3 years of long and painfull waiting our firiend jichael mackson is now back on musique risquee with 2 new great songs that we are happy to present here with this new release entitled just in time . on the a side locus pocus is what you can call a hard edged hypnotic techno track: loopy, bleepy, trippy and squiddly diddly. the b side, entitled sugar hill mountain, is what you can call a deep, warm and moody ambiant song: shiny, airy, velvety and mushy gushy. check it yourselves. its really worth the listening as it was worth the waiting.

after the success of >slow burn< as well as the licensing of >dirt< to mr. ben klocks berghain mix compilation, echologist returns with another slice of psychedelic dub techno with remixes by frances techno king terence fixmer and arguably moscows finest producer, anton zap. the original mix is a slowly builds into a blaze of cavernous chord changes and a 4/4 groove powered by an unelenting sub bass. the distinctive sound of this track is what seperates echologist from all the other dub techno composers out there. terence fixmer takes the elements and transforms them into his signature techno workout that packs as much punch as it does finesse while anton zap strips things down and builds a super spacious hypnotic house groove that has become a trademark of his ethereal sound. all round another essential release from echologist.
