district raw is back after the summer break with a 4 track ep by fabio giannelli, with remixes from andre crom and jay bliss & popoviciu aka hermannstadt collective. we should say supported by blablabla but we prefer to say nothing, and just invite you to have a listen!

you can see it on the news: techno is back, but for those who never left, techno is not a word that comes and goes, techno are forward thinking sounds that you cannot do in one minute with some libraries and cheap software.this brand new release from our factory shows exactly how techno should be done properly, in the interpretation of kike pravda, eric krakeroy and label owner oscar mulero as a remixer.main track, >fear is the enemy< has a direct approach, clean and driving drum programming grows and grows helped by shuffled 909 hats, leaving room for a razor sharp synth line that opens and closes filter in the most dynamic way you can imagine. just a few elements put together wise. oscar reinvents the original in a very similar way, but slowing the vibe a bit, adding more percussive details and elonging the structure, again the sound is clear , punchy and hard, as you like it.closing release, >jaque a la reina< its a 21st century acid track, modern, sharp in sound and agressive in low end, concrete claps, metal hatz and driving synths makes this one the perfect compliment for this stunning release.

after a couple of artist eps, white is back with a new release of their well-known faces series . this time with an unknown face so far: tristen tristen has been an integral part of the white crew ever since. it was just a matter of time, until he was ready to release some tunes. everybody new, if that guy ever finishes a track, it ll be a bomb. and so it came. a track which announces a state of emergency on the floor. with deep chords and strings, which scream so high right at ya, that you can t resist dancing. on the flipside edward puts out a melancholic ravemonster. but still in edward style! minimal and housy, with a slightly touch of a jazzy trance. but always with an eye for the deep. a track like a dream-like scuba dive... once again edward proofs, that he is one of the most outstanding young producers in the game, right now.

supported by: dave clarke (who spins the tracks in heavy rotation during his weekly whitenoise radio show), speedy j, nitzer ebb, thomas p heckmann, felix kroecher, eric sneo, the advent and many more...
be prepared for one of the techno-highlights of the year by those two outstanding producers. virgil enzinger is a true pioneer of the electronic music and is releasing his tracks since many years on the most respected labels such as chris liebings clr, kombination research, enable, killaz, impact mechanics and many others.his partner xavier morel is working in the music-business since the early nineties, released various mix-cds and produced tracks with artists such as juno reactor, prime suspect, eat static... just to name a few. he played all around europe, asia, australia, usa and south america and has been running his own very successful label rasputin records with releases by johannes heil, dj hell, thomas p. heckmann, tony rohr, pascal feos and others.now they joined forces and deliver this massive mind-blowing masterpiece in form of a double-cd-album! this double 12inch-vinyl will contain 4 album-tracks called >particules<, >moon shadow<, >central< and >wolverine<, all stomping techno-killers with a maximum of drive and the top-notch production-skills of virgil enzinger. crystal clear soundscapes meet obscure rolling beats without making any compromises. the album definitely will be a milestone in modern tech-music and for sure won t leave the record-cases of djs around the world during the next months! >fiction< is absolutely recommended for all friends of serious electronic music!

ltd edition white vinyl in shrinkwrapped sleeve !!! big with: nick curly, martin landsky, agnes, lauhaus, gorge, moodymanc, markus fix, kabale und liebe, einzelkind, meat, motorcitysoul, milton jackson, brothers vibe, x-press 2, ekkohaus, kreon, brendon moeller, alex flitsch, willie graff,.. the tsuba colours series continues with the debut tsuba release from londoners ethyl & huxley with the >white ep<. like all tsuba colours releases each 12 inch is on coloured vinyl (this time white), shrinkwrapped and strictly limited to 500 copies. for relative newcomers with just one release on cecille to date, ethyl & huxley have a depth to their sound way beyond their years. a side >haiku da niente< is like all good deep house used to be – soulful, musical and gently hypnotic without a cliched key in sight. >mother tongue< has the vibe of an old skool masters at work track and the ep closes with the more up tempo >carte blanche<.

the model is no stranger to gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to the model. as a supporter of gigolo records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous gigolo adventure. but in the words of the late george harrison, >all things must pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
the model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: dark-techno-baroque. the sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. it also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the a-side >in the night<. in many ways this could be seen as a return to form for gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. to further consolidate the techno aesthetic look no further then >flex on the b-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by daft punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of djs today.
the >vampire funk ep< is the first release from the models forthcoming album on gigolo. the concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of the model. exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. like classic transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. the result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. as pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. as the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as i type and you read. so we are already part way there. the rest will unfold in the coming months.

rising up from the gurgling belly of the underworld comes disco of doom, the brand new project from production and dj duo tom real & the rogue element. the disco of doom is a place of unspeakable depravity from whence tom and rogue deliver twisted, filthy productions. >warpig< and >spawn again< follows their first ep which came out last year on passenger records to critical acclaim. >warpig< takes things deep, dark, heavy and churning with surprises at every turn just when you thought it was safe to get back on the dancefloor. >spawn again< brings you back to the jack of old school chicago acid madness while simultaneously slicing in the heavy duty rave sounds...you are all well and truly doomed!

after the success of the re-edits vol.1 the messengers (kev beadle & darren moss) are back with a couple of peak-time floor fillers for vol.2.
>first left< is a huge funky fusion bomb that will be sure to move any crowd. looping up the classic herbie tune >just around the corner< the boys have added some percussive flavours to give it a summery edge. side 2 is their rework of ray barrettos version of stevie wonders >pastime paradise<. extending the intro and giving it an extra little kick the tune builds into the perfect singalong tune for those bbq afternoons and summer nights.
both tracks have already found their way into the cd cases of gilles peterson, king britt, phil asher, rainer truby, simbad, eddy ramich, mad mats, michael rutten, rob luis, kay suzuki,dom servini, souled, nik weston, dj asparagus and jonny miller and getting major support from them all.

ricardo jefferson is a producer and dj based in manchester, england. the four tracks on this ep demonstrate a distinctive style. the roots of his sound are in funk, disco, space rock, prog rock, but he has melded them into a sound that is more than just the sum of these elements. this is funky, bass-heavy, trippy techno for the dance floor. a1 a brutal truth. this is a big tune that builds relentlessly. the track has an inclusive, celebrational, feel which simply invites everyone to lose it on the dance floor. 124bpm. a2 persons unknown. this tune doesn t have the relentless build of a brutal truth. instead, this is a tune to drop when everyone on the dancefloor is in the zone and locked into the groove. a finely crafted trip created with multiple delays skittering around the sound field, anchored by the funky bass heavy groove. 123 bpm. b1 the egg part one. a track employing a tight kick drum of differing weights to propel the groove, overlayed with a circular keyboard motif. on the off-beat, add the processed sound of someone hitting a metal sheet, and viola! - one aggressively funky dance floor bomb! 123 bpm. b2 god of the machine. this track has a simple 4x4 kick and handclap pattern pinning down a delicious oscillating bass line, under a classic descending four chord circular chord progression. off kilter ride cymbals give the track its backbone, and fluidity. ricocheting handclap delays add dimension. sly stone would be proud of this groove. now get on the dance floor and strut your stuff! 119 bpm. the cover shows a still image from the music video a brutal truth directed by ricardo jefferson and laura lee.

moment psychedelik - its all said in the title, actually. it is easy to get lost in all those layers of mesmerizing sounds, swirling around you like bubbles sparkling out of a well shaken bottle. just before you lose it all, the kickdrum comes in to lead you to a winding path... upon glistering plains, through some dry land into a multicoloured jungle, populated with all kinds of textures and sounds. enter the next level - like the title suggests. the flipside utilises a more pronounced guide: mr talking drum himself will show you how to find the clearing of enlightenment where your heart gets filled with joy and your feet cant stop dancing. supported by lopazz, ame, tobi neumann.

alex celler has made quite a splash in 2009! since his tuningspork debut ep trapped in dub, hes had a hitrecord la palma for arearemote, and consequently teamed up with fellow londoner anthea of phonica records. as anthea & celler they released a pair of 12?s forfreak n chic and cÚcille, and now their third effort as a duo appears on tuningspork. down with g.o.d. is a chunky and forceful workout, fuelled by jesus juice, with a distorted bass bounce and vaporous dubovertones that just might make the dancefloorbreak down and speak in tongues.

1998 classic!! including all time favs body movin, intergalactic, three mcs and one dj, just a test...

5th release on the subcult techno label and it just gets better & better! label boss aka carl teams up with peppelino for the excellent opening salvo. then bryant baker teams up with miche of miche & mirzinho fame to deliver another club techno bomb. flip over for spanish rising star luky rdu on a wicked tribal trip and finish with kazoo records josh love & matt 303 rounding things off perfectly.

just a classic !! disco !! incl brand new david penn remix !!

nice price deal !!! yo kid! remember back in the day? the underground was truly the underground. people werent trying to make tracks. people were about nice songs. no chart dropping. no ra. no myspace. it was just straight underground pop writing. yo! remember techno pop? what happened? andreas dorau. yo kid! what happened? hamburg, parfüm. what happened? firm. oh! theyre still there. kompakt pop, cologne. what happened? can somebody tell me? ladomat 2ooo. we all know what happened.. console. what happened? egoexpress. what happened? micromusic. what happened? popacid. what happened? hans nieswandt. what happened? rework. what happened? scheinselbständig. what happened? christopher just. what happened? cologne, the minimal pop-house sound. you gotta be kidding. what happened? synth pop. come on man, whats up? techno pop. what the fuck happened? it used to be so good

nice price deal !!! from somewhere between then and now comes the first of the thirteen black editions. dismissing the present as a mere distraction and searching the past for a way to the future. black editions a travels to the pyramids to untomb an exercise in kinetic psychedelia. black editions b is a stately & sophisticated funk excursion. no map, no compass, just the stars as a guide.. welcome to the night.

this record is just so wooow it hurts to close the gap. it s like it says on the tin of cliches: >the definition< is giving you a concise description of where soul clap, the humorous boston-based house duo, is heading. well, not quite: more where they have arrived, actually. they have found their style. eleven out of ten! this is light years away from the sick >puppy crack< anthem that left you with wobbly legs. get ready to be completely overwhelmed as the sassy producers beamed themselves into futuristic groove heavens while staying firmly grounded on the proto 90s floor. right on!

not content with just completing their debut album for full pupp, jarle bråthen from ytre rymden dansskola unleashes his virgin vinyl 12inch on us. on the a side weve got >søder<. though rough and tough on the outside, its just like a ferrero rocher… a hard shell but a creamy soft inside…. mmmm…. i love chocolate… on side b theres >takras< which we previously displayed on last years >greatest tits vol.1< compilation. this time however, youll get it with a proper mixdown from yours truly skål!!!

bottin, aka william bottin makes music only an italian can make... probably. take a youth spent against a background of old italian giallo soundtracks, some john carpenter film music, add in late 70s italo disco influences, add a touch of free, some easy west coast vibe and a smattering of kitsch. that just about half describes bottin.

peter grummich is a man who needs little introduction. peter has been producing grade-a techno and house for over a decade now on some of the most established electronic dance music labels in europe. peters unique production techniques draw upon a deeper sense of music. segeltuch – >the triolig deep track< is a dark and stripped down tech-house journey. chunky snares and simplistic high hats meld with ominous synth dripping with dub-styled delays. classically detroit sustained string sounds and rich analogue sweeps reflect peters loving detail oriented production at it s finest. what is most remarkable about this collection of sounds is that it gives segeltuch – >the triolig deep track< a remarkable versatility, both dancefloor energy and time.
elevation funk is no average b-side. elevation funk is a super sexy house groove that does the job right. deep and hypnotic analogue stabs slowly modulate to keep the bodies swinging on the dancefloor. odd synthetic effects and cut up noises just drip in overdriven dub-styled delays keeping the groove from getting style and providing delicious ear candy for the dancefloor. then about half way through this journey peter slowly brings back in a wet sounding hat pattern to bring this slow cooking bomb to the boiling point.

with a slew of slammin releases on all the happy fun times underground house labels, melbournes d-t3ch now comes correct with a crackin new release on the flapjack attack called the >scholars with dollars ep<. to kick things off, d-t3ch gives us a very tasty piano jam called >dusk til dawn< that pretty much rocks around the clock. also includes remixes from scrubfish & laurence alongside house phenom johnny fiasco. snls mix is a solid bassline bumper with plenty of cuts n bruises just like we do in this camp. johnnys remix is a shake n bake, plenty of bass krush groove to move ya to the egg beater bump….whatever that means. shak n bake baby! shake n bake!!!

redux hit their 9th release with the second offering from the very talented musician/ songwriter known simply as fernando. first appearing on the label with his solid cover of kick in the eye by legendary goth rockers bauhaus. fernando gained instant support from many djs and tastemakers, showing the world that he got the full package when it comes to being a talented recording artist .now hes back again to unleash the first of his original solo material from his forthcoming debut album, guaranteed to be a firm favourite with disco stallions , pump rockers and bearded ladies. scarecrows kicks the e.p off , setting the tone immediately with a rock steady bass groove , crisp synth stabs and catchy vocal snippets (from another famous goth influence) sprinkled on top that will stick in your head for days .bladerunner ups the energy a notch with some lively drums and a beefy bassline sure to shake any waistline (one size fits all). weird trippy textures and surging synth sounds keep it moving and occupy your brain whilst the groove kidnaps your feet and hips on the dancefloor.on remix duty is croatia s leading light and all round nice guy ilija rudiman. taking a slightly different approach for scarecrows, giving the track a deeper, moody feeling but still keeping the essence of the original. subtle pads and acid lines weave in and out as the groove pushes on and draws you closer in, dropping in to the break down and sending you off singing doop doop doop do do. this 12inch clearly showcases some of the freshest talent thats coming through the ranks and will instantly appeal to fans of reverso 68, tensnake and emperor machine to name a few strong examples. if youre feeling this then be sure to keep an eye/ear out for fernandos debut album coming soon on reduxà. this is just a taster

following up the intrusion & paul st. hilaire project comes a new release from the intrusion imprint which offers a killa selection of steppas riddims and tropical grooves. intrusions >velocity in a minor< is all about being playful with a sequence, splicing a riddim, stimulating the mind while shuffling your feet. this concludes with the mysterious lo-fi soundsystem up next who make their first 12 inch appearance on intrusion (previously recording under a variety of names strictly on 45) their powerful >de lions den< has been given a second lease on life from its scarce 45 release, (which was only available at a few small record shops in jamaica) this island groove is filled with the dankiest skanks, a melodica on acid and a bassline deeper than the ocean. this mystical midnight groove is given a rework in a 4/4 rhythm and effects from deep space, behind the controls is intrusion front man stephen hitchell who leaves us with a tasty embellishment in fat riddims and icey cold electronics. the b side opens with mildious >de natura rerum< which crosses into territory comparable to intrusions >tswana dub< or the atmospheric dub side of rhythm & sound, a powerful mind melter which does all the rights things in all the right time. the closing >oceanview< paints a picture of just that, leaving you to wander off into the ocean breeze while sinking into its smoky green vapour haze.

so the story goes: a few years ago i played a cool underground party in stockholm with my good friend and crazy record collector mark seven. early on that night mark played me this beautiful and melancholic piece of music. mark happily handed me his spare copy and my record collection for a second felt a little more complete… originally released as a b side track to als slipshod ep on out of the loop the track continued to mesmerize whenever i played it and the fact that so many people loved it and equally as many didnt know the record i though a re release could be a great idea. its inclusion on gerd jansons recent sonar kollektiv compilation and the fact that its been played by legendary dj harvey ( o bearded one as hes known to by the initiated) has obviously helped to spread its fame to. the previously issued part 1 with the original and bogdan irkük remixes has gone down a storm with all the cool movers and shakers... oh yeah baby. now its time for the last chapter with equally mindboggling gatto fritto remix, mark sevens version and my own just plain silly rework. toodle oooo, thomas(oslo, 7th of august 2009)

robert natus finished 4 straight techno tracks for abstract020. techno is dead? no its just born!

lets have fun! - thats the mantra of big zis and the crew of nation music. the swiss black music label has been broadening its musical spectrum over the past years. just like the artist big zis, whose music could most likely be labeled electro pop alternative punk rap, they dont care about common conventions. while rap becomes more and more pimped out, house loopier and minimal narrow-minded, big zis hooks up with a top-class troupe to get it her own way. for her most recent album und jetz … (and now …) she worked with marton di katz and valentino tomasi (both members of kalabreses famous rumpelorchester), who laid the musical foundations for most of the songs. for the impulsive electro on the track suure räge (acid rain) however, big zis collaborated with the techno producer michal ho (tuningspork) at the studio. suure räge got remixed by several well-known producers: robag wruhme (freude am tanzen) and canson (gs zürich) are to be found on volume 1 and the soul brothers lexx (aka kawabata / drumpoet) and kalabrese (stattmusik) successfully combat boredom on volume 2. the sound scapes of the remixes couldnt be any more diverse and cover a broad variety of styles. and be sure: volume 3 - work in progress - will delight you as well

funky tech tracks based on the immortal classics...

germanys jason little drops a sick collab with pet duo from brasil on his jasons mask label! the pet duo are on a roll with their massive releases on the cause label and this is yet another devastating piece of vinyl for the hard techno massive! the flip holds a rob stalker remix. rob just delivered a very good first new release on his destruction records. not to be missed!

limited edition lp!
ironic? no, it’s dead serious: sally shapiro keeps on dreaming of barbie and ken. sometimes good things come to those who wait, as is the case with sally shapiro. one shouldn’t really imagine the bashful swede from göteborg, who never performs live, setting a new trend for turning down lucrative offers. and the thought that she is working on something hip, is most likely even a little eerie for her. after all, she s just into something, which she’s been doing since her childhood in the 1980s — singing songs in the style of her idol sandra (”maria magdalena“). if she hadn’t met her companion johan agebjörn, who despite his musical socialization with techno in the 1990s has been deep into italo disco for the past few years and is a collector of zyx records, sally’s passion for synthi songs and fairy-like female vocals would have remained private. however, johan was screwing together some italo-style songs when he asked sally (whose voice he’d only heard from a previous christmas party karaoke) if she would improvise on his soft keyboard tunes, their collaboration was a done deal.
subsequent to their first releases on the labels diskokaine and permanent vacation, sally shapiro suddenly found herself in the midst of the ultra-hip neo/italo-disco movement, which is especially big in scandinavia. why of all things on the northern peninsula, where one traditionally listens to black metal and indie rock played with legs spread apart, the peculiar, yet sunny disco music became such an export hit, stays one of the mysteries of the pop business. it’s a fact, though, that next to internationally celebrated norwegian neodisco-heroes lindström, prins thomas and todd terje, the lovely sally has become the scandinavian disco-act in the mean time.

arrestar, hailing from brussels, is the second belgian artist releasing on token. he sent me this killer idm/techno track some time ago and it was immediately a favourite of mine. i fell in love with it the moment i heard it. in the end, it just needed a release. im not the only supporter of this track: inigo kennedy, oscar mulero & grovskopa love it too, so they decided to contribute with each another interpretation of the track, which in the end results in a diverse package.

played by: ricardo villalobos, sis, nick curly, anthony collins, chris tietjen, robert dietz, markus fix and many more !!! a resident of the respected mono club night, felix neumann is one of those producers that live music on a 24/7 basis and his productions just keep on coming and growing. we are very happy to have this talented 21 year old in our artist family. the title track put it back is a fresh sound affair and a guaranteed club banger, as tested by most of the mitu family djs. the pumping groove will keep the crowd on its toes and the pinching vocals will have them asking for more. rough is a track that could almost be described by its title alone. it is a steady and solid track that showcases felix s versatile approach to music. that versatility extends to the first b side track. acento is an elegant musical exercise where house, percussion and jazz harmoniously fuse into a track with a strong dance appeal. the last track on this release brings out a heavy-deep-bass vibe. chemal will make your head nod and your body get loose, without you knowing how it all happened.

after the re release on clone and some hot tracks on lets pet puppies another one rescued production of marcus mixx from obscurity! mr mixx featuring project democracys is this dream for real? paired with 3 more of marcus tracks. these rare tracks were only heard mostly in and around chicago during the late 80s. is this dream for real? is a deep and moody chicago house track. deep, infectious bassline with a gorgeous female vocal, the kind of track that makes you instantly say, wtf? simple, timeless, effective. and so are the other three tracks. raw jacking house tracks just as we like it!

following the success of their storming funkatech debut >wickedest combination ft. ic3/the system<
west london threesome pyramid are back with the first single in a four part series entitled >elements< consisting of earth, air, fire & water but inspired by their four prefered staples: sex, drugs, rock & roll! in true pyramid style expect nothing less than dancefloor destroyers with uncompromising attitude that deliver the breaks fundamentals: big bass & real breakbeats wrapped up with a fresh twist for 2009.
proclaiming the arrival of this new series in full effect is the preacher this summers first festival anthem. take heed all ye doubting thomases this will bring you to your knees. the ominous intro gives way to heavy rock guitars and a foreboding preachers sermon whipping the crowd into a frenzy before suddenly being struck down by waves of bass and earth quaking beats so big they will bring the lame back to their feet. this is a big room track guaranteed to smash up the dance. big warm and heavy it will rock the most sinful of ravers into repentance. watch those hands reach for the sky ... hhhhallelujah!
not letting up the energy for a second and next up on the flip is >broken dreams< featuring the vocal and production talents of yoof (sons of mecha). no massive build ups here just a great vocal hook, raw beats and bass. no sir this is a ram raid. break steppin broken beats, rapid distorted basslines, thrash guitars & crashing cymbals... have it! underground and uncompromising pyramid bring the skank for 2009.

cosmic metal mother strikes again, this time on argentos very own label, panacustica. here comes >twice,< a brilliant new 12inch inch with remixes from professor genius (italians do it better, u.s.a) and baby ford (ifac, u.k.). on the first cut, the mother explores deeper grooves in a more organic fashion, letting an ethereal, trippy, melodic piano line unfold on a solid, spaced-out disco groove. the remixes of this hypnotic monster are just as strong as the original. professor geniuss >ragazza mix< elaborates on the melody, delivering a layered synth stomper right to the floor, while baby fords remix deconstructs the track into pumping, minimal, machine funk, typical of his incredible trademark sound. panacusticas first 12 inch delivers pure soulful psychedelia.

2002 release with remixes by simex, my grandma from detroit, blacksoul and maxim.

the new series for raw no-nonsens techno and house tracks. some straight up techno... some edgy, exciting and fresh, sometimes just plain functional dj tools. first one is mike dehnert with his solid umlaut track that was overlooked by many when it was released on his own fachwerk imprint. mike is one of the big talents with his own trademark sound.. something we don t hear to often! 3 unreleased verions of umlaut2... mikes first unreleased mix, slightly housier then the first one, the umlaut2 new version which is a straigth up club tool. big surprise here is the remix by levon vincent! a new talent from new york that got his name on the map after 3 incredible releases on his own novel sounds and deconstruct labels. he did a more then excellent job with his dirty and housier version. levon did lay down a crazy groove with an old fashioned hook line (very n.y. house) and mold it into a fierce techno track. fresh and completely different then most techno out there these days.

this is driving epic banging body shaking techno with soul that reminds of the good old techno days married with sounds of today. a great crossover appear for tech trance and techno sets. just a word for each: simian: manic thunderous punkish techno with attitude, collider: cool rockish bassline and amazing atmosphere. tiburon: organ rave sounds used in it and the small melody playing that gives it a spicey edge. and finally the best: particle with the spanish guitar sample that drives along with a lovely break that adds to the tension of it. this can become an ibiza favorite and you can see people like r.rivera or h.cataneo playing it as well.

joining forces with the minsk-based whiz kid maxim samos, who makes his second appearance on theomatic, an-2 delivers two mid-paced numbers that naturally blend the elements of funk, rock and disco. sometime you may find yourself in a mood when you are not worried about past troubles and there is a calm confidence that from now on everything in the future will be just fine. and this is what the new theomatic release from an-2 is about.

afu limited welcomes alex long to it s artist catalogue and he starts with two slammin and cool technotracks with ultra trippy vocals! there is not much need to say anything about these tracks, just listen and enjoy the trip through the space age with a fast beating heart! since he was young, he has always been impressed by the sounds of the synths, electro pop and later on acid house. in the beginning of the 90ies, when the slovenian electronic scene was still in the making, he was a regular guest in the legendary k4 and palma in slovenia. he was taken further into the world in 1998 when he took his first steps behind the turntables and he has been producing music since 2004. since then, he has had quite a few releases and remixes for different record labels. he has dj gigs with huge names of the electronic scene and in large festivals in slovenia and became the official slovenian hero of the future in 2007 at the disconautica festival.he spends much of his time in his studio, where his thoughts are converted into notes and melodies, and as he often states, he finally found a style that suits him and always finds a challenge in. what is that style? he doesn t like to be defined by a specific music style, as he prefers and is influenced by many different genres of electronic music. alex long is definitely a name we will hear of in the future!

urban nomad tolga fidan continues vakants limited series valt with a much sought-after track which has been around for a while. fidan, just moved to berlin a few weeks ago, says >so long paris< in such unique style that that we hope he will never leave berlin again. vakants valt series has been kicked off last year with onur Ízer and keeps on delivering music straight for the dancefloor.

now techno has its own fair trade. basmati, the new label by gabriel ananda (artist direction) and marcel janovsky (management), does not indulge in pretentious bragging. in fact, its not even supposed to have a release sheet like this one. but sometimes, youre even too modest to stay away. so, whats it all about? well, the music, of course. and only the music. organic stuff, so to speak. tracks made by pure immersion. no plans, no blueprints. just going with the flow, unleashing the inner krautrock while staying true to the basics of techno. gabriel and friends at their best. inhale

nice price deal !!! calvin harris is on a roll. hes just had huge success with two number 1 singles im not alone & dance with me and returns with what could be the anthem of the summer ready for the weekend. this 12inch features mixes from dave spoon & fake blood!!

support from : d.diggler, someone else, joseph capriati, martin eyerer!!! it s summer of 2009, at least once in a while, in germany. with silent heroes, martin woerner delivers an absolute adequate sound for warm and sweaty outdoor partys. but just as well, the sound is suitable for wonderfull dumpish afterhour sunrises. the track yelp isn t that dreamy, but doesn t rise less emotions and it ll defenitely also find his supporters! fact is: even if one can still recognize the typical sound of martin woerner, this release sounds different in some way. in addition, it foreshadows different stylistic facings of him and more of these can be expected hereafter. due to those circumstances, a new sublabel named inclusion records limited has been created in cooperation with the distributor (dbh-music). make sure that you keep informed for the future!

played and supported by nick curly, gregor tresher, joris voorn, sis, anja schneider, anthony collins, shur-i-kan, dÆjulz, sian, laurent garnier, oxia, deetron, gorge, monika kruse, josh wink, matthew dear, funk d void, konrad black, marc antona, florian kruse, slam, masomenos, gel abril, ramon tapia, guy j, brothers vibe, italoboyz, dj fex, silicone soul, varoslav, ... after the incredible success of his first ep on time has changed. andrade, the jewel of thc is back with a new amazing ep. included alex niggemann remix, no words, just listen. the september hit !
