mo rotation is the next step in the history of westpark units 80s funk influences they started with blaxrotation and fits well within the sound of today! always sexy, dope, deep & dubby. proper thang is as deep as jeep and builds up in the typical westpark unit style with some demanding but tricky drumpatterns and a wicked bassline. to surprise, the duo added some old school snippets into the drop, put them into a different context and present a jewel of a bangin deep house tune with one of the most enthusiastic moments when the beats come back in. mo rotation sets up with just some shakers, a demanding percussion loop, a booming bass and needs almost 5 minutes to get things started. when the bassdrum finally drops in, the club is already near ecstasy while the music takes a small step from 1983 to 2008 and a deep masterpiece

pan-pot’s debut longplayer pan-o-rama turns out to be the gift that just keeps on giving. first there was the lead single >charly>, backed by an infectious remix from lady mobilee herself, anja schneider. now they hand the baton to marco resmann and zander vt, who each perform their own magic on two more killer cuts from the album.

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

amazing limited reissue of an obscure disco synth bomb from the early 80s! the connection between daryl cameron of eye beta rock and 4lux head honcho gerd goes back to the early 90s. at this time gerd was recording for detroits malego records. chicago legend armando toured europe to do dj, set up by ep connection in collaboration with the dutch seesaw crew in 1992. through armando, gerd got acquainted with daryl camerons boogie stuff. daryl was in the mix with loads of chicago producers such as farley jackmaster funk and armando himself. just a 400 copies limited edition run!! no repress on this big 80s synth boogie track!

the title track made a brief appearance last year, garnering spins from the likes of fergie on radio 1. its now primed for full release, retaining its cool stuttering bleeped out hook atop a strident bassline thats designed to make sure no one can physically stand still, whether they want to or not. its also catchy as fuck. mike healey drops a cleaner remix that techs it out some, the first third or so of the track just twitters, phased sounds and hints at whats to come. its 1.00am central trip material until that bass finally implodes. are we alone? is a deeper closing cut, with suitably zoned out vocal samples and more electro tech shenanigans, making for a near essential ep for those who like it dark and trippy.

despite being launched in the early nineties, the incredible moton records inc have only released just over 20 records. a co operative effort between djs diesel, harvey, faiths dave jarvis and ashley beedle, this label has expertly amended and extended many an undiscovered, lost classic. always dealt with respectfully, these incredible re edits are released in super limited quantities, hence the crazy prices they reach in the second hand market! this superb three tracker is another gem, featuring rarities from the french afro beat scene, dubbed out 80s funk & soulful psychedelia. the quality is off the scale, the pressing is a...

after the success from the first boxon release the label comes here with a big follow up by tom deluxx with finest rockin french unfluenced electro stuf !!

the kazey & bulldog picture disc is followed by the first d2s release from our hero rod lee - a baltimore legend in his own right and in our eyes the no. 1 club producer, bar none. this super aggro dude has serious issues. he just needs to open his mouth and kids cry flames. for his first d2s release, rod commits re-mastered versions of two of our favourite cuts produced by the man. we first heard >understand< when we scored a bunch of scottie bs ebay auctions, and to this day its one of the best baltimore tracks ive ever heard. you can play this sh*t anywhere and the crowd just freaks out. hip hop heads love it, techno heads love it, even your girlfriend loves it. we coupled it with rods simple but ultra effective remix of the eurythmics classic, >sweet dreams<. when the catch an attitude tour dropped in on our club in glasgow, a-trak dropped this beast for all of 30 seconds and people went nuts. bannanas even. you could argue that the eurythmics remix thing is overdone and outdated, but if you did so, wed know for sure you hadnt heard rods version. anyway... we tracked it down and got it on the flip, so really this is more like a double a. both cuts are re-mastered (but still raw like the day they were made) and cut loud on heavy 12inch vinyl

unauthorized remixes... just jack a copy of your favorite writer and give it your best. dear mr. brown, here are some heavy beats. hope you like them.

the first in a two-part sampler series from the sound republics highly respected chicago-based spatulacity. the a-side kicks off with a funky-as-hell piano jam by hollands tommy largo with a killer bass groove that is certain to get dancefloors whipped in to a frenzy, and the a2 delivers just as well. >barnyard announcement< by melbourne, australias house prodigies lamanex is a pumping, funny tongue-in-cheek jacker that bounces relentlessly and has been drawing incredible reactions from dancefloors worldwide! flip the record over and check chicago newcomers scrubfish laurences >disco papacy< cut for maximum booty-swhaking satsfaction! this track has it all: interesting drum breaks and super-crisp beats, chopped-up instrumental bits that kick the energy up further, and an unforgettable vocal. last but not least the uks sound diggers turn in a fantastic deep-but-still-jackin tune that really rounds the record out with the funky horn and guitar bits sitting on top of a great groove.

respected uk remixer and house producer charles webster rips into one of the most played tracks from dennis ferrers hailed album the world as i see it. how do i let go started out as a soulful r&b tune but charles turned it inside out. on his club mix, charles removes the soulfulness and injects a more electric lounge flavor. his deep mix is just that, a profound pumpy, warped & heady affair. both mixes put a whole new twist on the single and are ripe for the early or late set.
