to remain a discerning platform for underground artists with integrity is easier said than done in todays music market. alphahouse vows never to forget its roots in the afterhours basements from whence it came. in that spirit, we would like to welcome two up-and-coming italians to the family with release number twenty. good friends alessandro stefanio aka buck, and andrea santoro aka santorini, both from puglia, proudly represent the new school of deep thinking producers from a country not generally known for such restraint. if you have been following santorini or bucks output of late, you will know that italy is more than just the land of shuffled techno.. there is a deeper music movement in the country, and these guys are two of the best.

with the sun out and festival season just around the corner, the 2 bears return with their biggest crowd pleasers yet on the bear hug ep out on southern fried. equipped for both barmy afternoons in blissed-out fields and after hours naughtiness in the darkest dance tents, the 2 bears set the seal on their trademark brand of house revisionism. opening up with take a look around, 2 bears take us from techy intro to full on house inclusivity inside seven minutes, with rafs understated vocals joined by star-to-be alice gold. then there is the bashy jump-up instrumental in my brain is like a computer, to set us up for an mc’d walk through of the 2 bears dancefloor doctrine, bear hug. as for the ep closer banger, the title speaks for itself – a tune that cuts deeper and harder than any 2 bears track so far

hypnolove are a cult band from toulouse, in the southwest france. their first album >eurolove< included the french pop song >mademoiselle< which featured across french national radio stations, a kiss cover (i was made for loving you), a feist featuring (bitch lap lap) (but sshh, no one is allowed to mention her real name, she became famous just after recording it) and even a punk track! the album was going places. nothing short of brilliant, but alas, audiences had a hard time understanding the logic of it, which of course was simply the songs, the taste, the musicality and the talent!dj-support from tiga, busy p, steve aoki, pilooski, the magician, munk, jerry bouthier, rory phillips ...

open the curtain for the next trick from the highgrade disharmonic orchestra: for the last year the team have been busy refuting the notion that the dj is a one-man-band in the booth… tom clark, todd bodine, philip bader, dale and daniel dreier are an act that combines all their many and varied qualities into one pot, stirring vigorously and serving up a hearty dish that goes straight to the hips! they have proven many times with their live performance that the musical ingredients are just right – and have also put the evidence on the record with an original ep. now comes the follow up. the first track way too far, is a live recording which evokes an atmosphere of urban beats and pulsating flashes just behind the eyes and a dancing crowd who appear to sink deep into the dance floor. then theres a complete chance of scene for the second track the other night, that appears to hijack the veranda of a villa in the american south. crisp rhythms are backed by muffled thumping beats, a trumpet laments, a sexy sleep-talking emerges in gentle piano sounds. this is southern passion under the disco ball, cleverly approximated by the highgrade disharmonic orchestra

nice price deal !!! nice price deal !!! kleinstadtfeeling is back with another must-have spring record! just listen to the music

cupp cave was once heralded as belgians best kept secret.Ê well, guess what?Ê the secrets out.Ê from the us to japan, his glitchy beats have stood out as some of the most innovative and rich amongst today s electronic hip hop producers.Ê but he doesnt stop at just making dope beats, he crafts universes, ocean deep and mountains high.Ê hes also proven his ability to wear as the weather and terrains demand while roaming through tese soni landscapes. as kingfisherg hes spen his time excavating golden sine waves from deep, lost caves. as sineshine, hes fished out a treasure trove of long-forgotten disco nuggets.Ê as cupp cave, he serves up busted-gaming-console-and-dusted-broken-beat concentrate, filtered through a tub of radioactive waste to devastating effects. he also forms one half of surfkill along with dynooo. this ep sees françois / cupp cave return to his one true love: making sloppy chicagoesque beats. just like all of vleks output, it comes in a hand-screenprinted, hand made, numbered cover.

its just over a year ago that the producer duo dance disorder were celebrating their illustrious bpc debut with the epic italo-dance-inspired hit >zusammen<. now the show must go on - with >metallic italic< georgina fernandez, aka baby g, and robin crafoord are exceeding the path of consistency from the lead out groove of their last record to the point that even crosstown rebels label boss damian lazarus discovered >metallic italic< for his upcoming mix cd >get lost 4<!

paulo olartes >mil anos< is a very southamerican lovesong, tearing appart all kind of barriers between generes, but still being so in love with electronic dance music and the functionality of it, that you cant just get away from it. the remix of >mil anos< is in charge of goldwill, you see it stays all in the family. a slow melancholic monster which grows and grows to catch you and never let you go. so no more words and enjoy this piece of acetate which has also a very special design for music lovers/ collectors. solo por ti.

the newest tigersushi 12 inch is also the newest addition to the labels infamous roster, yes wizard. like many of the labels new artists yes wizard has an ambiguous almost mythical place, not just on the roster, but also the world at large. during a recent r&r mission in the south east coast town of ubatuba, brazil, joakim found himself privy to a local urban legend, of a jungle man, a music composer going by the name of yes wizard.

finally scum recordings unleashes its next talents.. crushtington hailing from new zealand is no unknown face in the dnb scene.. can you guess who it is? and like the dnb they make this dubstep isnt for the faint hearted. as your used to from the scum camp were bringing you next level heavyweight riddims and this release is no exception. the single starts off with big hit.. a electrified stepper with a hefty 4x4 drop.. crushtington shows what their worth right here and now with this one. smash this one on the decks and see the dancefloor crumble at your feet. no happy jum up styles here just straight up grimness! next up its king koopa. unlike the giant lizard who super mario needs to defeat to save his precious princess this is one ferocious, mean, fire breathing track that wont let go so easy. this one packs a punch that will knock any mushroom or fire flower straight out of your big body in seconds. so better make sure you got some 1ups to make it through this one!

weird yet very funky & playable chicago inspired house/acid tracks by detroit s jared wilson. jacking rhythms, nasty 303 basslines and whispering voices creating this nice old-fashioned sexual energy... just how we like it. conforce on remix duties delivers a deep & moody techy house rework, perfect for the early morning hours. bomb!

its an exciting time for idle hands, as the fledgling label mutates into a many headed musical beast. after the bristol record shop rooted records sold its last chunk of wax late last year, idle boss chris farrell has carried the torch and opened the idle hands store on stokes croft in bristol city centre. just as the shop highlights idle hands dedication to its hometown, this latest release on the label marks the first time the music has come from outside the city limits. szare will probably not be a name familiar to many, having covertly established himself on the lauded horizontal ground label, basking in the stamped white label anonymity of deep, troublesome 4/4. now with this release and his syndrom z label, the producer steps just a little into the light to expose his unique abstractions on swung techno. >volya< ploughs a sparse and percussive furrow, while >action five< boasts a wistful, dreamlike melodic bent to leave you with two distinctly different, but equally enthralling cuts.

so addictive: the title says it all. this housey tune builds up with layers of digital swirls powered by a kickass beat. chopped up disco-feel vocal snippets create the dancefloor vibe of ?club lasers meet glitter ball?. we?re hooked but be warned - you?ll never get enough. starstruck: a cocktail of electro chord harmonies with a delicious shot of catchy oohs give this groove something to slam too. it?s disco audio waves roll up on the funky shores of vocal snippets with just enough white-crested synths to give this housey number dance-driven pleasures.

the 7th release on mikrodisko delivers the perfect concept for the dissolution of the antagonism between original and replica with kassem mosse’s “musical generics”. while m7&#8243,,, is still available as a single, it needs to be resynchronized according to the time of day from fast forward mode to time lapse disco. this record really fits into the smallest handbag, and: small clubs just need small records!

you cannot neglect those vocals, because they will pick you up to an unknown journey. you wont forget this preview of new age melodies and sounds. oceans bottom is dreamy and diverse made by flute-sounds and tricky percussion elements. this song is daring you gently, makes your body swinging and your soul so moony. einmusik is bringing up the old things into the future. just get in touch with his strong, bunched and adust sounds. they will open your mind for an epic album. backside you will find biosphere, a classic and solid house anthem which makes everything so easy. but heads up! – this is not only an accessory part – it is the opener for the summer season.

a1 volta cab & the legendary 1979 orchestra -­ the ideal now: this track planted the idea for a collaborative release. a superb house track for the summer months, what a bomb! the track has an amazing groove, melodic keys and heavy percussion. feel good stuff!.
a2 volta cab -­ sakura: volta cab at his best, a chilled out deep house. huge atmosphere on this one, deep bass and gentle percussion gives a slow groove.
b1 the legendary 1979 orchestra ­- juicy warmth: this is the track that attracted us to 1979. chopped samples, nice atmosphere and a killer bass ­ just how we like it!
b2 volta cab - in the middle of the night: volta rounds up the release with a slow and sexy, deep house beat. a big vocal sample, beautiful brass and tender percussion. killer!

one of the most sought after tunes about right now >shining< has be killing dancefloors all over the world… from fabio to grooverider, goldie, tc, djss & dj die to name just a few big hitters who have been playing this track … this e.p is a wonderful selection of musical drum & bass of the highest quality. so take a leap of faith & get your copy now. backed with >the return<.

>red agent< is one of the only fully-solo tracks by disaszt on the album, and shows the austrian is just as comfortable alone in the studio as he is joined by his impressive roster of collaborators. dropping with a warm, rounded bassline and frenetically passed drums, >red agent< relentlessly steps away, and manages to bring a real jump-up flavour without ever resorting to the obvious.<br >/ram trilogy triumvir and all-round d&b legend shimon joins forces with disaszt on the flip, continuing a relationship thats already seen past collaborations and disaszt releasing for the englishmans audio porn imprint. a real highlight of the album, >snakey< makes for a welcome single release, with its eerie soundscapes, snarling bass licks and ultra-fresh sounding production. watch out for the cowbell.

it would be very tough to dispute the phrases >good things come to those who wait< or >less is more< when talking about the impeccable standard of sebo ks productions over the years. looking back at the very first mobilee too hot, and other hit releases such as diva and spirits, as well as a collection of remixes on some of the most respected labels – he is given name in any serious house music collectors bag and now we have another wax to add! mr. duke is nothing short of a summer anthem…opening with a delicately constructed rhythm pattern that eventually makes way for beautiful synths that build and lift your hands in the air with them. it warms you up just as the sun does, re-appearing from behind a cloud and covering your body in its rays. summer and sebo k – the perfect combination.

once again, with spring, comes another addition to vakants fruitful and ever expanding family. we welcome the man formally known as cesare vs. disorder, for the first time releasing under his given name cesare marchese. in such a short period of time, cesare has amassed quite a discography and legion of fans around the world who follow him wherever he goes. yet another formally trained musician in the vakant camp, cesares music has progressed a great deal since his first release in 2006. every release drips with more and more depth and melody. his aether ep debut for vakant yet again proves why cesares accent is unstoppable. while just a 4 track ep, the aether ep covers much ground spanning afterhour afternoons to indie influenced incorrigibility, but always with that certain kink and freak that comes from a background of techno and global trotting nightlife revelry. to say deep and freaky would not be enough. to say anything would not be enough. these are tracks that must be experienced and not written about. from complete house electronics, to altered acoustic uplifts, to deep orbit accents, its all here courtesy of our new sicilian cesare

in 2010, when we started to revitalise the tresor label, we reached out to some of the greatest artists, not just in tresors history, but in techno. late 2010 we sat down in a paris cafe, just off the pompidou centre, with jeff mills, on a rainy, otherwise unremarkable and miserable day. but on this day we were given two very strong pieces of advice. >hire a fanastic a&r and sign sleeparchive<. so here we are, an artist that has been on the underground radar of the hacker, miss kittin and richie hawtin makes his debut on tresor records with >ronan point<. >the tracks developed from parts and loops i had created for my live set and always wanted to make tracks from. after a little break i took with the sleeparchive project the record for tresor was a great opportunity to make these tracks.< sleeparchives live sets have graced the dance floors and sound systems of berghain, arena club and bloc weekend, so it is fair to say that the 4 tracks that make up ?ronan point are not just tried and tested, but actually born on the dance floor. >> press: dj magazine techno single of the month.

crowdpleaser and st. plomb on third ear... what a nice surprise! four cuts of twisted, skewed, earthy house music veering to techno. served up with aplomb. great vibe and quality production on all cuts, just like we are used to get from third ear!

if we add a new label to electronic music, is it really needed, wasnt music originally unlabeled? - lads contemporary productions could be called anticipated techno, architect techno, or architechno. these two tracks are simply brilliant and beyond what i have heard to date. the way lad is building space procures the feeling to be part of the music, to be in it, swallowed by it. >isolate< and >bergvall< are just two hypnotizing masterpieces, transporting you into unknown and untamed territories. deep, soulful, cinematographic, intriguing, moving. my drug is music. from 2d to real 3d chills. vanina hänin woods, forests, deep and dark spaces, like if kubrick, kurosawa and marinetti would have gathered together to produce music, simply highly cinematographic and futuristic. lad builds up organic visions, redefying sound in such a personal way. definitively two superb, soulful, finely shaped and constructed electronic pieces which will undoubtedly make you dance the night away. (dan lagardere)

kieren dickins aka dels is a new type of rapper (which is another way of saying that heãs more than just a rapper). applying the kind of attention to detail, micro-management and macro-vision which jay-z used to build a business empire, dels makes art. popular art mind you, but art all the same, an album of emotional peaks, musical innovation and surreal, brilliant lyrics, held together by such a unique, such a strong vision that it sounds almost silly to suggest itãs just a debut. already causing a stir with the tasters ¶shapeshift÷ and ¶trumpalump÷ (and the videos he masterminded for them), everything is now ready to show how these pieces fit into the bigger picture.

his debut four track ep highlights his individual approach to song writing with the gorgeous, deep and moody >i am machinery<, a fitting title for a track where the human voice integrates seamlessly into the analogue electronics of the machines. >pointers’ changes the mood and aims at the dancefloor, with strings and synths fully indebted to detroit techno, but with a constant human touch from his jazzy scat cutting in and out of the heavy groove. >some days< has the biggest sound on the ep with multiple vocal tracks layering over the crisp drums and pulsating synths. hes combined his keen ear for melody and a firm grasp of the dancefloor for this track, making it many djs favourite on the ep due to a club friendly structure, yet striking originality. >set myself on fire< closes the ep at a mellow tempo, and can easily hypnotise the listener with its repetitive vocals, haunting whistles and sleazy beats. this is only for the beginning for debukas, these four tracks are just an introduction to one of the finest talents from the uk electronic underground

smallpeople member dionne aka just von ahlefeld debuts on his co-owned smallville label! entering the smalville record shop in hamburg city on a rainy afternoon you would find co-owner dionne to be working on some arrangement of his tracks. the room fills up with that unique kind of deepness and beauty we already know from dionnes works as a part of smallpeople. after releases on jus eds underground quality, the dial sublabel laid, new deephouse imprint tersiptone and his own smallville label dionne is back on the planet with a heavenly 3 track ep to spread sweetness and love on the dancefloor.

bla bla all star mulder will release his new ep nexxt on bla bla records. this ep holds warm melodies and (deep) house grooves. with david august dropping an excellent remix this ep is the perfect festival tool to be hammered during the 2011 summer

benoit & sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. in the washington dc duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for dfa (the acclaimed boy trouble ep) and visionquest (the lovelorn where the freaks have no name ep), dc duo benoit & sergio return to spectral sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. and >let me count the ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that ive loved.< as the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey. the b-sides >let me count the ways (autumn version)<is a vastly different take on the original?s maximalist swell. stripping the beat back to its bare essentials and building them up again over nearly 12 minutes, the >autumn version< recalls arthur russell?s more minimal moments down to its wobbly bass filigree and mumbled vocal samples. by the end of the track, the claps are falling on the twos and fours like crinkly foliage, synths are sizzling like firewood, and benoit & sergio?s newest banger is revealed in its full glory once again.

new small label from rotterdam by a wellknown player in the secene who wants to find its dieptepunt. this debut release comes with a versalife remix (by conforce). just like the recent field releases this wont stay in stock forever! vinyl only. limited 250 copies on clear vinyl, no re-press!

incarnations are back with an overwhelming 12 inch, just in time for the summer. remix action comes from ilya santana and his trademark spacediscopop, wareika bringing the deepness and rayko offering a shot of synth-driven discoid eighties. >meet me at midnight< is an exquisite hand-crafted pop piece, where you can clearly hear echoes of america (the band, not the continent), among many other things. it has summer written all over it and allow us to say that is the kind of song that makes you a better person.
ilya santana takes the original and drives it deep into space, without losing its amazing pop feel. wareika take over >make you mine< and bring it deeper than deep, close to maurizio, in a superb remix. and last but not least, madrids own edit maestro rayko shows us his powerful approach to the song getting the most out of his synth collection!

their debut three tracker ep has a theme running through it.. yup, its all about sides. first up is a riff you may well know from trevor horn and fgth. they take the tribe groove, slow it down and strip the groove back. using just the riff from the famous 80s monster hit they cunningly carve out >two sides< as their sultry opener. next up >by my side< enlists the help of the handily associated brass section. shuffling grooves, stabby horns and muted picked guitar are the order of the day. its a perfect one for those early dj-set appetizing sections. to round things off we tone it down even further with the beautiful >by my side<. subtle tones, lazy keys and a smouldering groove. when the keys kick in during the last minute its a glorius and sublime treat. stay tuned for more sides.

the croatian wonderboy tristy nesh is back on absolut freak records, with the famous elektro frau xenia beliayeva. they had already met on the >little hip molecular ep< (af05), with a successful remix by beliayeva. now they come together with >acting sane<, a sweet electro excursion through dusty fields. john lord fonda, the french sensation from vitalics label citizen records, is also back on absolut freak after having done the very first remix on af01. this time, he gives a new huge remix, with even more melancholy and an amazing break. just brilliant! then, the latvian producer max brannslokker (author of some masterpieces such as the incredible >lust< on salto recordings, or >transition< on boxon records) delivers a great funky-beat version with his special jazzy vibe. back side, nicolas chenard comes again with a powerful techno sound on a smashing remix. at last, tristy nesh offers a new demonstration of his unique dirty loud sound with >turkish bass<, a dancefloor killer with no concession. vinyl lovers can enjoy the artwork by falk klemm from the zonders with a pantone color on the cover. already supported by david carretta, donovans, da fresh, teenage mutants...

nice price deal !!! we are very proud to announce the debut release of a truly outstanding new musical project called >the goon show<. not much is known about this project, as the tracks reached us totally out of the blue, so to speak. the project consists of two experienced electronic wizards situated in berlin and is the first joint effort in the music world. their debut 12 inch features the wonderful and almost impossible to categorize track >angel band<, or as american music journalist philip sherburne put it:> the production on is really spongy and weird and enveloping, and the voice works so well with it, , this is really good, and i dont say that lightly!<. further admirers and supporters are the djs and producers osunlade, efdemin, adultnapper and many others. >angel band< comes in three versions, an acappella, a dub and the blasting original. as a bonus track, which is not just a b-side, but would be an amazing a-side on many other releases comes the beautifully melancholic >the grass<, of which our dear friend aksel schaufler aka superpitcher has said: >i love it and was in tears while listening to -the grass- !< . limited copies, get them while they re out there!

the newly crowned dutch emporium of all things disco tinged swiftly presents a second round of vinyl-only gems - commencing with the classic philly disco boogie strains of >just cant get enough< which contains just the right amount of deviations into sonic filtration. complementing this is the instrumental boogie heat of >lets go swingin< which fully demonstrates the majestys pleasure talent for slicing and dicing the groove. turn over for the insistent chugging sounds of >tainted binary< which unfolds brilliantly into a string heavy disco epic. the best is perhaps saved for last as >didnt mean to dub u off< reveals itself as a crystalline filled excursion into 80s proto house excellence.

timid boy – not timid at all just polite and with good techno manners. isis is a dark but fluent dubby tune deep from the techno chambers. kotelett & zadak delivers their amazing interpretation. we love it and hope you too! big with paco osuna, sebo, benno blome, madmotormiquel, soukie & windish

jeroen verheij has been churning out dance floor smashing tracks for almost as long as many of todays clubbers can remember under his aliases secret cinema, grooveyard and meng syndicate to name a few. tracks like timeless altitude, mary go wild (ec records) and kurzweil (cocoon) invoke warm memories in many of us. in december of 2009 verheij set up his own label gem records and started to release the unique sound he is famous for as a dj. now, just over a year later, gem releases its first full album - and this ep is the first preview from it!

who am i? thats what ruede hagelstein asks himself when he looks at the reflection in the mirror every morning when he gets up. then the image goes into the studio and produces tracks for upon you for him. the first one sings >give a little slap to your soul< darkly and romanticly at a relaxed 120 bpm into the mike and has taken up lodgings on a1 of our uy 047. the second plays piano, even if just paraphrased. the b1 beat requires a slightly faster dancer that a1. then the third member of the group on b2 with a quite definitive minimal touch, sounds a bit like peter and the wolf at the lsd opera … hop hop off you go then my lovelies.

argentinas barem issues a summer storm warning with >blue<, his first ep since 2008s >kolimar< and a preview of what is forthcoming on his debut lp for release on minus, after the storm, which follows in june. with the album running order based around the full sentence >there is nothing better than a clear blue sky after the storm<, the lead track of this new ep >blue< - appearing here as an alternate vocal version - is positioned at around the eye of the storm, conjuring images of rain-soaked, squall-battered beaches with clouds breaking just enough to reveal the daylight thats promised after the storm.

go disco! a call to all who fall in love with the song >sue is blue<. everything is focused on the slow, but swinging groove, including individual flashing fragments of the 20s. a dirty house music base drum pushes this track towards the dancefloor. the piece >offshore< takes you on a journey with its epic, modest and balanced mood, which turns out to be a dancefloor sensation. >teheran traffic< is speeding up the tempo. the b-side is determined by a powerful sound. just as the >far from here edit< by philipp wolgast works well in the club.

the monster hit album by the new no. 1 ! bruno mars ! incl the big bombs grenade & just th way you are !

a wave of unmistakable sound is currently blasting its way through clubs all around the globe.the release of his debut track >bed swing< pushed newcomer fabe into the eye of public attention and it is not surprising that the >bed swing ep< rocked dance floors of clubs like tresor (berlin) even before its official release. in addition to the original mix you will find a mesmerizing remix byholgi star (kiddaz.fm, micro.fon) & pierre deutschmann (plattform b, kiddaz.fm, k: lender) - the best mix for an audiophile firework. french sound artist super tape, who is well known for his club and party music just as much as for his home-suitable tracks, gives the >bed swing ep< a finishing touch.

breakin bread continue to support the specialist soul and funk scene with a release from edenheight. they are not a new band, these guys have been gigging hard all over bristol and the south west, but it is their debut vinyl release. its not just another new funk offering, the band have a tightness from all the gigs and 2 superb female vocalists that make these tracks stand out from the pack.
edenheight are a deep-groovin and original outfit with a soulful urban sound. forged in bristol, their list of influences favour more percussive styles including afro, funk, hip hop + dub, and as such dance-ability is a precedent. this standard owes as much to an evolution in the citys underground live scene as to their appreciation of high energy musicianship and production.

here comes 2001 so lets all head for the sun!
an experimental surf dance quintet. fixers have been playing and recording together for just under a year, blending the sixties psychedelic childlike innocence of brian wilson and bruce haack with the spaced out eighties avant-garde dance of arthur russell, dead can dance and tom tom club.
