another crater maker from the dmz cache, mala unleashes the up rolling classic left leg out. mercilessly driven by an insistent morse code arrangement and interlocking 4/4 polyrhythms this is an absolute winner from the man like mala. drawing influences from the rich soup of broken beat, garage and even funky house this one can slot in to any set with ease and drive a dance wild, just listen to any recent kode9 set, the proof is in the rewinds! the b side comes string with blue notez, a brooding slice of steppers pleasure with nuff dread bass, lonely sax licks and mutating snares for the twisup factor. you know you re going to love this one !! villalobos playlist !!

better known as volum and as one half of angry robots volsoc (his musical partnership with justin maxwell), jean-paul bondys output to date has often been categorised as electro, but not as we know it, jim. since the early 90s bondy has been bringing us his vision of a cartoon future of blips, bleeps, squeaks and tweaks, all fed through your speakers and straight into your brain by a rhythmic salvo of breakbeats, bass, and straight-up, glitched-up funk.. bondys first solo album, >the path of most resistors< marks the culmination of this effort to date, while at the same time representing a subtle departure – not just for bondy, but for compost too. make no mistake, this is a record that is grounded in the kind of solid, machine funk grooves, synthetic melodies and sci-fi atmospheres that the best electro has always brought us

part one of >the kings of techno< with 11 tracks compiled by laurent garnier & carl craig !!!

gut & abwechslungsreich !! auf 400 limitierte ep mit sinner dc, jacen solo, fzv, michael manning, yerk, jensen sportag and blodyn tatws

following in the footsteps of audikas cd reissue, arthur russells most extraordinary work, world of echo is reissued for the first time as a newly remastered limited edition double vinyl set. 18 tracks are featured including drumless versions of his disco classics lets go swimming, tree house and wax the van along with four previously unreleased tracks from sketches from world of echo. originally released in 1986, world of echo is a deeply intimate and meditative work of awe inspiring grace and remains a timeless work of sublime beauty. arthurs aim was to achieve what he calls the most vivid rhythmic reality, with just cello, voice, and echoes. arthur achieved all of this and more on one of the most incredible suite of songs ever recorded

the synkope ep ushers in a new sound for mathias, one that is more full and less percussive than before yet also one that will not leave previous fans in the dark. taking his cue from his keen knowledge of the worlds dance floors, kaden translates this awareness straight on to vinyl without losing sight of todays complex sequences and sound structures. with the flood of faceless releases that threaten to sink even the most discerning record buyer theses days. there is a growing sense of urgency to make records that will remain classic and listenable even 10 years into the future. if you dont mind us saying we think this might just be one

scanning for virus starts with an hard and uplifting drumwork, analogue lines and a dominate bassline bring the track to the highest level within the first seconds….at the push of a button!scanning for virus is pure funk, pure house to describe it just in two word and for sure absolutly peak time guaranteed…and you think that s all there is? keep you temper….on the flip you will find another remix by no one else than super-mastermind and producer of the year claude van stroke, more reduced, more minimal but also to the point.no question, this release seems to be the best on made to play so far,stunning!

this is so sweet.. detroit techno at its best !! i dont even try to describe it, just check it out. but dont forget the flip side. if chicago sound is your thing you can get one of the coolest chicago tracks in a long time. excellent track. the ep tops it off with a nice and dubby rhytm and sound kind of track

hot on the heels of the prins thomas mixes come these wigged out house versions from parisian franck roger, plus the original and legendary >la stache< mix. franck roger is carving out a great reputation on the house scene at the moment, his releases on his own real tone records have set the benchmark for other productions on sonar kollektiv/innervisions, seasons recordings and kenlou records, as well as remixes of blaze, roy ayers and jazztronic. franck opts for a sophisticated house rework of >moustache<, its techy moments peeking in and out of the rattling percussion, with oodles of funk layered on top. the >la stache< original mix from blackjoy is included on this release also, a huge underground cut with the nu-disco/balearic/cosmic crowd on its first release on bob sinclar s yellow label last year, and still sounding just as vital today

understanding is a beautiful harmonic song that states out a strong message. once again, most instruments played and arranged by the gifted musician robb scott.understanding gets the remix treatment by fellow jaymz nylon, who adds a hypnotic groovin´ feeling to the song. also on remix duties for understanding you ll find reel people crew who just recently making waves on the famous defected label. their club mix is definitly the dancefloor burner on this 12, deep pumpin house affair for prime time floors!and as a bonus you ll find another fine tune by our man robb scott which is exclusive to this 12 as complex as love shows again robb scotts passion for beautiful arrangements, very soulful and catchy

the man from louisiana, water jones, with a blend of raw disco beats and catchy old-school electro licks. the first track >deuteronomy brown< is an italo style dancefloor bomb, bound to drag people off their seats. >the odyssey sound< has entirely been built by using just one synthesizer, the legendary arp odyssey !! the tracks version featured on this release has been cut-up, dubbed and streamlined for optimum performance by paul mogg and supersouls xaver naudascher

played by: ricardo villalobos, luciano, magda, dan curtin, zip,.. its been a great year soo far for the talented mr. haze, as he continues to push the boundries of electronic dance music. this record is a clear cut example of why things started to get real, real hot all of a sudden. with this special release, jay s first release on the label he started 7 years ago - jay translates what it is like to be >big pimping< in berlin, germany. jay moved to the electronic music mecca just 3 years ago and has steadily advanced through one of the most competitive market places with lightining speed. so in some sense this record >berlin pimping part2< is another fond dedication record to the city which provides soo much for jay. (the first was jay s record on german label musik krause >berlin pimpin/love affair<)

although he keeps his head just under the radar, jon cutler is not exactly against producing really big club tracks when he puts his mind to it. south slope sees him channel his energies into the kind of show stopping tracks that the likes of kerri chandler, dennis ferrer and quentin harris are famed for, but with a deft jazzy touch which they often ignore. the ibadan style groove is bedded in with a wonderful organ solo that serves to take the tune to the next level, while the dub mix drops the organ for a more shelter friendly tool

the hype for mike monday is really hitting home. just this issue theres two pics in dj mag and three mentions plus hes in two separate charts –his new track on simple, bhalobashi, #10 in the hype chart and the album top 10 in the downloads chart. a >producer to watch< in mixmag – and were promised a rave review for the album in a fortnight as well. and thats not to mention the 5/5 review in idj with a raving three page feature, the continued presence of smorgasbord in dj mags >lps we cant put down<, its album of the week status in owtl and the profile out next week

behind the new release on haiti groove rec are the 2 well known german dj s / producer s toby montana and thomas gold. just to name a few highlights of the 29-years old toby montana, with releases on the label selected works, remix for steve angello and productions together with the german newcomer lützenkirchen. in addition to montana there is the second produce thomas gold, also well known under his pseudonym level k, releases on spain s number 1 house label >vendetta<, dj antoine s label >houseworks<, and remixes for international superstars like roger sanchez and ian carey made him to a big name in the music biz

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. first time they produced the seminal everything is allright, one of the highlights from the audio soul projects album community this time they produced one of their futur classic, while david duriez was in chicago on the way to his detroit electronic music festival gig. produced in just one afternoon, the track is already acclaimed and hammered by all the big onesjosh wink plays it everywhere. mr.c has also been reported jumping in the booth to ask david what this track was.

souvenir records!!! lets just start this introduction with a quote: >we like the idea of seeing music as a souvenir, an impression you take from somewhere. something intimate to remember<. this is how the brothers schwarz aka tiefschwarz set the agenda for souvenir music, which they created with their french companion arthur velasquez and thus finally set up their own imprint after an eventful decade in the musicbiz. even just a quick listing of mighty deeds in the underground dance community would fill up page after page. if the story of king midas wasn t already centuries old, someone would have made it up now to describe the phenomenon of recent tiefschwarz remixes. who would serioulsy doubt that their golden touch also will rub on their own label and turn this start-up into another stellar success? cooked up in their berlin the first course >hey< by the artist ichundu is set to become the flavour of the month, even more so with extra delicious ingredients tiefschwarz added to their remix. yummy !! played by sven väth, sasse, chloe, tobi neumann, karotte...

after the first bars of freak everybody who has previously listened to electro,should have encountered that this piece of work is not made by amateurs in contrary! freak does not have to hide behind productions from famous producers like steve bug or steve angello: spinnin elements banned up-todate beats and basslines over a funky electro track,whose arrangement and sound fits just perfectly to a hot clubnight

on the back of massive summer anthems from dark mountain group and rodermaal, buzzing fly is back. ben watt’s a&r skills and ear for a tune brings us rocco – house music for the heads. originally handed to a few top tastemakers last christmas, the release of this undoubted deep and deadly floor-killer from lyon s rocco, was delayed six months after john digweed requested it as an exclusive for his recent best-selling >transitions< mix compilation. permission granted, its now back for its official full release on buzzin’ fly and, following his dastardly cut >blood< this summer, we ve added a brand new thrumming and funky tech-dub remix from francois dubois (a.k.a. lars sandberg a.k.a. funk d void) just for good measure

chicago pioneer tyrone latrelle comes back to house music after 15 years ! having establish himself as one of the most important originators in house music, producing such important acid records as acid my mind (together with bill mösley) or bang the 303 while we still havent managed to meet him despite a few trips to chicago, we get this dat tape in the post a few months ago. it seems tyrone is back on track or may be hes just sending his archives

1st release on lektrik is prod. by polish house producer robert m. who gets some serious attention at the moment withhis >cafe de paris< release on joia records. this track is supported by roger sanchez, tom novy or boris dlugosch.robert m. has also just finished a big remix for the new oliver koletzki single >yes i can fly< on yesionova records

really impressive, strong techno music! this ep is a split in between three rising stars on the swedish techno scene. prataps contribution starts of with a wicked groove that just goes on and on. and before you know it, you are totally lost in a melody that is slowly building up. the flip from nihad tule and lasseman is on the very same tip. nihad, know from his release on hz trax will not let any body down! a really strong and groovy sound is coming your way and just keeps on building. hypnotic and very funky!

frankie comes back with 4 minimal funky house tracks with this typical >dry< style using just a few sounds elements ( cuts of voices and short sounds) and a fxs…as well inpredictable and groovy. ep already played by dan bell, troy pierce, john tejada, jeff samuel, todd sines,…specially the dbx-influenced tweaky noise stomper titled hunt (a1)

for more then 10 years the french lady b. is known in the techno scene. he organiced the first acid-house and techno parties in south of france between 1989 and 93 and he also became a dj in several gay clubs in cannes. he had releases on f-com, gigolo rec., good life & many more. plus remixes for ascii disco or scratch massiv. now he is back with a powerful ep incl. 4 tracks. >stripper< is cut and go massiv banger which reminds me of sebastian(ed banger) productions. >the best will come pt.1 & 2< have a nice bassline + bleeping acid sounds and those tracks show you that the time for sampling in 2006 has just begun. >b-ware< is a pure peaktime track with a melodie that will stuck in everyones brain…

this anthem with a melancholic atmosphere we just known from guys like luciano and rebeccas words, telling some secret about post spices husband, fit perfectly into a miniaml grooving & mystic sound.. incl gui boratto rmx... already played by dj t, matthias schaffhäuser, jesse rose, laurent garnier, damian lazarus

henrik van sivers actually uses hand claps, synth power and drum rolls and the result is purest, stunning 4/4 swedish disco music. for everyone who prefers the more minimal and dry way, the >meaty minimal dub version< will be just perfect. misc adds the necessary aggressiveness for the large-scale rave party, but still with loads of charme and esprit !!!!

discoshed records, the exciting new label founded by swede, ted nilsson is poised and ready to unveil its new secret weapon and debut release on a double side 12 just brilliant house music is the concept behind ted nilssons brainchild it does exactly what it says on the tin.

mobilee is on >back to back< mission and presents the first release of a four-piece vinyl remix series including eight exclusive in-house remixes. a - sebo k reworks gummihz s >isolate<. he just took the essential >rave signal<, modified the groove and added some spezial effects. the most reduced sebo k production so far. aa - prosumer gets the upper hand on sebo k, recreating the latter s >moved (featuring prosumer)< in prosumer s own image. and you thought dude was just a singer - think again. >think again< might as well be mobilee s motto, for the way the label lays bare the skeleton of rave music—and the way it amplifies berlin minimal into something throbbing, overwhelming, all-consuming. watch your back: mobilee is coming up from behind, and back to back is the rearview image of the shape of rave to come

tombone 09 comes like a comeback of this great label. one of their best releases so far and with david k being just recognized by cocoon this cooperation is sure to get recognized. david k who is actually the engineer of various top parisian production camps, remixes dj did this time, new kid on the block but both surprise with three extremly fresh and delectable vibration electro house grooves, direct thick grooves total opposite to minimal boringness of some many platters these days. check out the excellent >electric wave< with its amazingly old school new skul vocoders. hit potential

this record is a crossover of different styles of house music there are some electro, progressive and mimimal influences i think you just have to call it house

a1 no sleep:an amazing 13-minute latin pop electronic house piece ,a journey that is already making a name for itself in the world bests dancefloors. percusions,baselines ,bleeps mental sounds blending together with a dirty groove that keeps on changing and developing ,to peak in soulful and painful vocals accompained with a lead melancholic guitar and jorge singing -is just like to be on drugs without the fun-.....sounds familiar?...the song ends in beautiful detroit styled chords , a good reason to play it until the end..b1 close that door: an acid house jam with extravagant and abstract lyrics showing gonzales dark humor and irony.close that door has a killer acid baseline and the usual quirky dinky touch ,lots of sex and groove on this track,a sure peak-timer.think dan bell meets prince.b2 no sleep (edit):a smart instrumental version of no sleep for those vocal snobsters.just the groove here, no vocals,no guitar or synth lines, and exelent tool

on the a side, >you know what to do< comes from a collaboration with partner mauro picotto and features a full energy, peak time track tested in top clubs around the world with crazy reaction from all types of crowds. on the b side, >smiley cocktail< pulls out the more minimal edge thanks to the collaboration between riccardo and fellow italian producer athos. and for those who like partying till the morning hours, after a long night of energetic beats, what better final than >morning light< with its dreamy atmosphere. with these tracks just out of the studio, it won t be long till top jocks will get their hands on them!

in the wake of raudive aka oliver ho (podium 1) comes amsterdam native shinedoe who with her 2004 debut >dilemma< (on 100% pure) instantly accomplished what others never achieve: respect and support by the likes of väth, hawtin and villalobos. her style: straightforward, strictly functional detroit techno - with an essential and effective touch of soul. as her debut album is expected for september 2006, we may catch a glimpse into the near future with her track >amsterdam meets berlin.< here, she does what she s best at. she uniquely creates atmosphere with just one chord, relying on the power of harmonies. but watch out. when the dreamlike vibe leads to a sudden change of keys, we re all puppets on her strings.

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

new artist from safari electronique: ditch ( minibar, micorcosm / kalimari ). beautiful, sensual , killer for the dancefloor to open your mind toward new visions!!! and for you > la surprise du chef < a superbe remix from arnaud le texier, ready to shake your ass... just listen !

archipels brand new sublabel brings you its second weirded out slab of wax with uli kunkels singing with rod. uli kunkel,however,is not one single artist. it is comprised of lee curtiss, maayan nidam (miss fitz) and shaun reeves.the record starts off with leethophobia which is an hypnotic breaks like piece of dark insanity laced drughouse very much inspired by the perlonian sounds which have been coming from germany as of late.drugpigs is fat, wobbly, and just as hypnotising as leethophobia and commands that the freaks come out to dance from the shadows of strange early morning corridoors.the flip takes a more direct approach and is fiercely lead by arrival which is an hypnotic take on dancefloor drive influenced tracks and is laced with clever edits and lysergic percussion.sing like rod is a totally weirded out and just as lysergic early morning rhythmic smoothy. kalimari is set to release quality weirdness and here it stands tall from the rest.

clara hill, bekannt für ihre gefühlvolle stimme, präsentiert nach ihrem debut „restless times“ ihr zweites album und schafft es mit leichtigkeit ihre stimme mit tiefgehenden texten – mal melancholisch, mal euphorisch – und raffinierten beats einer erlesenen auswahl an producern, zu soul geladenen deep house und nujazz tracks zu verknüpfen. größter gewinn ist dabei auf jeden fall die gekonnte auswahl der producer, wie slope, vikter duplaix, atjazz, charles webster, georg levin und king britt. ein komplexes und reifes album mit gehörigen portionen an emotionen.

paul macs debut on ltd records!! for this twenty release they have the honour of releasing two more huge tracks just coming out of his new studio.

another stunner from the mysterious re edit man. a super soulful re edit of love unlimiteds move me no mountain on one side and a 60s soul rework of angie stones i wish i didnt miss you anymore thats absolutely killer. the man just gets better and better. awesome.

rmxs by andre walter & the advent !! on the a side andré walter shows his beta impressions,using a completely other sound you d expect him to. very technoid and tight, this monster pushes just forward in the best enable recordings tradition if you don t know,just take a listen an you got it. no doubt – this was done by no one else but the advent! the typical advent style completes this enable produktion with a truely straight and massive remix..

for his second outing on wagon repair, hrdvsion (a.k.a. nathan jonson), yet again blesses us with a showcase of diverse style and emotion on this 5-track gem. dedicated to the memory of his best friend, gary white, this ep comes straight from the heart and proves to be special - not just for nathan, but also for those lucky enough to hear it. played by laurent garnier

a man that needs no real introduction gives us the first in a series of offerings. luke solomons newest production company bad brains and black flags brings us two new hot tracks. the title track phantoms with its bass driven punk edge and the b side end of days with its more tweaky white noise kinda feeling. another example of how punks and electronics can coincide harmoniously. whatever your pleasure we re sure you ll dig this one just as much as we do

summery house cut, with the groove deep and the beats just right for both dancing and lazing pick of the bunch here is gavin hawke hardkiss take
