pikaya take to the a-side with a flourish of robes and flashing beams of light. >jedi< is not the track youre looking for… wait, no—it absolutely is the track youre looking for, all mind tricks aside. kicking off with a sparse drum pattern, it quickly shifts from a measured andante to an easy jog, as resonant synths and sweeping filters whip up desert winds and high drama. high, lonesome counterpoints and a moody chord progression carry the faintest whiff of ennio morricones outlaw music, and playful trills—you could almost swear they were birdcalls—suggest a secret oasis hidden just behind the next hill.if you find >jedi< cinematic, then >fango< will really blow your wide-screen mind. starting with a rhythmic underpinning thats everything youve come to expect from a cadenza track - tight, ultra-kinetic, just a little bit jittery - pikaya build up layer upon layer of hazy pads and cool arpeggios that shimmer like the aurora borealis. bullfrog-throated horns occasionally burst in with a fat, amicable fanfare, announcing the arrival of the peak hour. great, unison handclaps play off against heel-kicking syncopations: madness ensues. and then everything slowly, imperceptibly smears together and loses focus, and the tune fades flickeringly away. talk about a double feature! now playing on a turntable near you

remixes from paul van dyk (vandit rec)& justus köhncke (kompakt)

brother, the second track of reeads album take what you need was conceived in collaboration with guillaume françois & johann querne. this track has an unusual pop rock touch quite different from rewind, reeads first track selected to be on the official compilation of the 2007 winter music conference. brother is just as diverting & enchanting as the album. it reflects the artists will to widen its musical spectrum focusing maybe a little less on the electronic influence of his music and going back to the essence of it. brother thus features a steady voice accompanied by a strait guitar & an efficient bass line. without a doubt, the single and ep will conquer its audience thanks the several remixes that will rejoice the electro music fans. reead >brother< produced by reead written by reead, guillaume françois & johann querne.

the gossip label just launches hit after hits…..massive buzzed track which makes the same effect as lady by mojo few years ago…. superb catchy vocal disco house with a top standing production… sick package! guaranteed to fill your dance floor! includes hott 22 remix. written, mixed, and arranged by dj wady.

the music on this third release sounds a bit like a mixture of ame , derrick carter, lil louis, carl craig and basic channel. which is a good thing. we would like to think that this is the most loveable number so far. by miles! fonky, groovy, dark and deep techhouse that is just begging to be played at the right moment. paris the black fu from detroit grand pubahs has provided the vocals. and he actually has a message. can you relate?

while the delusional machinery of everyday life blindly stretches the forces that shape our lives into an asinine periphery, an ultraviolet fantasy for weak minds, nature has only a fleeting sufferance for the reversal of its involuntary movements. maxwell s demon is not just a mathematical proposition, it is alive and kicking in the beige strip malls, sweaty megaplexes, and vertiginous mini golf parks of class optimism. as the ordered penchant for division increases, paranoia proliferates a thousandfold, and in this constant state of implosion the laughably purposeful complexities of human machinery reveal themselves as a collective sublimation from matter organized under the sign of a smoking gun. adultnapper lays down a fresh original mix and mastermind alexi delano cleans and tightens the cut

born in australia but moving to japan in 2000, luke le mans is the main organizer of the night >quop< in osaka which focused on bringing big international djs and contribute to create a scene in the roughest japanese city. after releasing his debut ep on trapez luke is back with this 2 tracker ontrenton. much more mature, his talent as a producer are undeniable and we hope that this will be the beginning of long series of old school but yet modern minimal material for trenton. >dark helmet< has dry beats and a funky bass line with a crazy chords pattern that has some sort of a b horror movie vibe… like a minimal techno version of a dario argentos soundtrack, dark helmet will bring you out-there! the second track called >lisa< is a bit more old school but still rules and the endless loopy bass ramp that just keeps on building up will make your legs feel a bit less heavy and your mouth a bit thirstier… slg is back on trenton, but for a remix this time. after is very first ep on our label we are proud to have him back. his version of >dark helmet< is just outstanding… pure slg style, it has it all: detroit, minimal, forward, groovy… if you are still sitting in a clubs corner after hearing that on the p.a…. means that you have serious issues with being able to feel the funk!!

finest dubby deep techno trax !! for two years the doors were open monthly at grubenstrasse 28 in zurich. and what a two years it was! musicians from afar were joining a frolicsome party crowd of 300, all done in an intimate maze-like setting where the largest value was put on atmosphere and hospitality - just perfect. problems with the neighbourhood forced us to close down this last jewel of zurichs alternative nightlife

with evil concussion mutekki welcomes yet another rising star on the techno horizon. his mutekki debut single >tak tak< is a bulldozer of a track! a massive drumming, an accelerating bass line and tricky little breaks get combined with a piano hook, which will immediately make you raise your hands into the air. sounds cheesy, but if you dont believe us, just check and try! ziel100, known for his remix works for the likes of the horrorist and gloria gaynor as well as for his label zielscheiben, strips down the groove to its basic elements and turns his version of “tak tak” into a real freak show.

jt donaldson makes a quick return to hudd traxx after his big just bounce release. jt takes things deeper on this ep with 2 slices of cutting edge house music. first up is the future, a deep house groover with live guitar riffs, synthy stabs and a big bass line. flip over to the b side and jt serves up a techy number with plenty of spacey fxs thats build throughout. the underground culture tourist (classic) reworks the original with tougher beats and sick breaks to round off another top notch release from hudd traxx

incl. pig & dan rmx!! a big epic masterpiece for the open-airs ! with frank müller aka beroshima, we welcome one of germanys senior techno house producers, who is combining the best from both house and techno already since 1994 - long before the implementation of the term >tech-house<. whereas frank müller just like guy gerber was never caught between two stools but rather has the rare talent to reach both house and techno fans with his productions. and so he does again with his cocoon debut >horizon<, an hommage which reminds of the grand ol times of r&s, with xxl suspense, driving beats and hypnotic sounds and melodies

ph-neutre is 22 year old dj and producer raphaël fortin from france. together with his partner frother he just started the label médiateur electronics. d.digglers remix on the b-side takes a different approach starting very deep and spheric with lots of glitchy elements and small little details that give it a very hypnotic touch in a great and typical d.diggler groove-style

pounding uk rave & loop infected techno tracks by alex calver, concrete djz and rhythm technologies !!!

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard…and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling

germanys electro purists mas 2008 are back with the elco_16.0 >un-destroyable structures< on electronic corporation. they still fulfill the expectations on real powerfull and danceable electrotracks. machines seemed really being animated by kirchner & mueller on their new 12inch. they keep on track in producing the oldschoolish hardware based way, like back in the old days. no plug-in pings and pongs, just really voltage controlled synthesizers and drummachines with deep, warm and noisy sounds. mas 2008 keep their tracks still based arranged with implementing song structures and vocal fragments – clubby with pop particles. who ever is keen on electronic music of the last two decades, will find all these influences on the elco_16.0

g t m k is gregor tresher (datapunk /cocoon / great stuff) monika kruse ( terminal m /electric avenue) this melodic, minimal, hypnotic release with a good build up will prove itself on the dance floor is limited to 500 only (physical copies) no hype, no label its just about the musik

"this ep combines different periods of time. oldschool and newschool elements is the key element of a modern production, no matter if its nasa or both legends acquaviva & lützenkirchen to deliver a masterpiece that is functional in every possible way. sirens and oldschool stabs on one side, combined with electronic fierceness and drumming madness. the b-side "hurt me" is more agressive, sawtooth sounds modulating through every spectrum of frequencies. at least one will get your ears bleeding or just the mind blowing if youre lucky enough to survive. cologne based producer pierce gives the >satellite< original a new face with his remix. long synth build ups, reduced drumming and massive compression focus on the basic needs and desires of a rocking dancefloor: to celebrate a break, a melody and to freak out when it starts at zero again"

yo. its 2007. many people make the wrong decision. dont want no hihats. just want smörsås. check this. this goes out to our main mongos speak, reh dogg and siggi. rest in peace. my respect, he was the best. yeah cmon. sometimes people make hihat. dont know what is for. bizniz! yeah thats right, cmon. we dont want no hihat, just live and love eachothers, our family our friends. we have so much smörsås. the world is too big. cmon.yeah. stop your hihats. stop your bizniz. we pray for god. check. why must you cry? bizniz. yeah c mon. if you were a wheel chair i would still care and love you? hugg & pepp 4 life 2007

after the quite dark winter-release shotgun 01 could be found in various playlists in germany (f.e. dj karotte) and outside and is almost sold out now, here is the second shot, which is - according to the season - more housey and funky. >its going down< works with classic house-vocals and a killer-groove, whereas >young in paradise< is a track full of tension, using a quite funky guitar-sample. this >young in paradise< has just been used by dj linus for his new mix-compilation on exun records.

goodlife, gigolo, hot banana or turbo are just four of the countless labels, where kiko has released some of his most eclectic productions. now it’s time for him to rock huntemann’s confused label. his sound is always trenched with electro, ebm and intergalactic disco elements - a certain ratio of retro. faces of life is no exception from this rule. saw-tooth basses a raw drumming and spaced out melodies pave the way for this rave club weapon from the outer rim of uranus. galaxia is another example for his approach towards electronic dance music – comparable to the dutch legend legowelt he simply knows about the analogue sound world. this is a big rock band shrivelled into a moog space ship

with huge audiofly rmx !! the unholy 13th release on oliver huntemanns dance electric label is most definitely one of the strongest to date. uks promising newcomers richard wakley & paul maddox aka spektre return to the label with nothing but a true club killer! the long a side belongs to audiofly aka rekleiner aka sleeper thief aka audiofly x with releases on get physical, connaisseur, tsuba, sixty four, mobilee, adrift and kickboxer to name just a few. they remix the title track dark horse in their very unique way a driving and atmospheric 2007 tech house journey. on the flip-side neon drift embodies a big-ass bass, cleverly arranged rhythmic structures and a huge strobe-light soaked rave melody

incl. a huge my my remix !! simon baker has been playing records for over 15 years now. being a true aficionado, his versatile and passionate dj sets are never bound to just one style. he is a firm believer of “if it’s good, play it”. his passion for deep electronic house and techno is further fortified by releases on his own imprint infant records. 2007 has been a brilliant year for simon so far, his fast-growing reputation is proven by current residencies at a number of uk’s acclaimed underground house nights including asylum & technique at the warehouse in leeds, and ddd at the key in london. apart from connaisseur, simon has recently been signed up to german top house label playhouse, and has also been picked by steve lawler as his worldwide support dj. for us, he opens his pandora’s box of production and delivers a masterpiece of current club music

bomb alert! peaktime pressure all the way! house music is dead is another unbelievable track the beats are tough but groovy, and dark electronic synths rise through the mix before the haunting main hook rears its head. think trentemoller meets fedde le grand.this track is buzzing everywhere & has just been picked up by a leading uk label for a forthcoming release!

chrysanthemum ep is the first new recording from kelley polar since his hugely successful debut album released in 2005, love songs of the hanging gardens. the seeds of chrysanthemum are described by mr. polar himself as a confluence of the apocalyptic fear that permeated all cold war childhoods, comic book illustrations of blood and violence abstracted into flora and a b grade science fiction novels portraying two teens in the final throes of lovemaking as the world is destroyed in nuclear apocalypse. yet despite this decidedly dark and unique approach, the song is nevertheless pure pop catchy and indelible once heard. rosenband is lighter in subject matter yet just as deep musically, filled with synthetic layers and rhythms that reveal themselves slowly on subsequent listens. despite the immediacy of the melodies, there is a detail that permeates all of kelley polars work and rewards the attentive listener. a completely reworked instrumental version of rosenband is stretched across the b side and is dare we say it a dancefloor killer, with a long, mix friendly intro building to an incredible crescendo. the track is arranged and mixed by morgan geist and was done so with djs in mind!

just 100% phat electro house flooraction!!!

disc one brings together three classic cuts from the nrk vaults. joey negros akabu project is currently undergoing a revival, what with new cuts phuture bound and im not afraid of the future currently in the front of many djs boxes. back in 2000, akabu recorded your wildest dreams for nrk, and was accompanied by the 2020 vision mix included here. ralph lawsons punchy, robotic club remix sounds just as relevant today as it did on its first release. on the flip, solid grooves trademark jackin remix of magik js feel alright still cuts the mustard and jamie andersons beautiful oceanic shimmers with cool 909 drums and luscious deep chords.

sven dohse is back to knock you off your feet with two more magnificent tracks. crusher means to break your bones not with violence, but force-wise. this dry bassline just pretends to be tame – like the whole ensemble does in the beginning. but initial conditions change persistently until you awake twirling in a gloomy moment of house. so compulsive it stinks. so offhand it hurts. so self-evident it makes you wanna scream. way after midnight weaver uplifts out of a sentiment of infinity. warm layers of sound come floating above an abyss hardly indicated. time barely scratches the surface of this pocket epic telling you on and on again: tomorrow never comes

the two amsterdam based djs and producers onno & rocco mundo present their newest release on the lmr imprint.insanity defense:as the track leads in with some raw bass lines the summerish synths take the overhand and gets your head at a big partyon the beach.with influences from old school trance and progressive this track is just 100% nostalgic and can expect many support from a very wide range of djs.classified insanity:then its time for some more house action on the b side.this track begins with a smooth build up, followed by some grindin basslines.and just like in isanity defense theres also a summerish break here.
