just when you thought the heat of the summer had disappeared brett johnson and mike shannon team up to light the fire again with the bbq project. delivering some grooves inspired by the warmth of the summer the two legends come together to reflect in the studio and bring you the >my way home ep<.

>les patates<, the fresh new rrygular release by tassilo, one half of pan-pot, is not an homage to french agriculture but a serious techno smasher with high club potential. at first, theres just a nice party atmosphere and … then this rough beat drops in! the small potatoe >petite patate< surprises by adding rudimental elements like the hihat and snare drum always a little late. but you have the feeling you havent missed something yet. this number just sneaks from behind and lulls you in with billowing pads until you sense the final rave sound as a self-evident consequence of it all. the message by g-tech right before the drop proves right - there is not a lack of vibration here! its all about the mixture … and in this case its just felicitous: male choir, clanking cymbals and finally the riff that this track subsists on. tassilo knows how to send the short melody-figure through the different stages of sound design, even though it might have been lively enough without it. this gives the big potatoe >grosse patate< a level of dynamic, that most contemporary techno releases just dont provide.

next cadenza masterpiece! just hynotic

the owl, like its namesake, sits in the shadows. its deep, dubby bassline lazily rolls along, as our franco-italian alliance layer their percussive elements. string stabs usher in the smooth-keyed break, before that weighty bass drops back in. on the flip, txarco brings a sinister, somewhat industrial brand of funk, provided brilliantly by its growling, predatory bassline. as scything sounds, breathy vocals, and a variety of drums rolls lunge from the darkness, and fade just as quickly, we are constantly guarded by our bassline protector.

marcus sur releases his first record on the deep imprint of mbf: mbf ltd.
recently home to riley reinhold productions, the label started years ago with cosmic sandwich productions, weird and disco induced, mutant disco and now is on its way to settle with deeper and soulful house. marcus sur seems to be just the right choice at the right time.

born in romania in 1981, mihai popoviciu is one of the most talked about newcomers in the house and techno scene. but to call him a newcomer is a misnomer. mihai has been releasing quality music for years, on labels such as gigolo, level non zero, brise, diynamic and, of course, highgrade. since 2007 he has sworn allegiance to the highgrade flag, either alone or with production partner markus homm. he always has the ability to surprise with his music tracks produced straight to the point with no unnecessary fluff – just the uninhibited thrill and euphoria of dancing seems to empower his work. after a busy summer season playing in the clubs of europe, he is now back to work in the studio. and so comes >trapped in brakets< with three brilliant club tracks of outstanding quality, custom made for the dance floor. if you dont believe us youll have to hear them for yourself. turn up the volume and close your eyes! for those who still want more, mihai popoviciu will be releasing his debut album in may 2011 on highgrade records. time to get excited and warm up the legs for maximum dance floor effect!

claremont 56 seem to have a passion for the unnoticed and the unreleased, digging out gems from the past or oldies from the future. here we have four hands, a band from newcastle who laid this gem down in 1999. sounding distinctly like an adriatic sunset from 20 years previous. from subtle beginnings this track doesnt quite grow, it just drifts beautifully along, from warm pads to a deeper swelling bass, overlaid with delicate strings and languid orchestral touches. four hands deliver a modern day masterpiece, with a timeless woozy morning feeling. this is the warm embrace you need after a few too many the night before. limited edition!

after 20 releases in the much loved volume series mooqee & pimpsoul deliver what will be the last in the series, and boy do they deliver! dont worry its not the end of bombstrikes, just the volume series as we will continue to push our sound with artist development and individual eps plus a new into battle release featuring the likes of parker & slynk real soon.
to celebrate the 20th release we have pressed in glorious blue vinyl.

the most favourite of italian producers, bottin, returns with an old project. tinpong is a collaboration between bottin and swiss singer joy freypong. these tasty masters were just gathering dust on an old hard disc in venice but when we heard them we just had to get these gems out there.
the first of the tinpong material is a cover version of a duran duran classic. set dials to 1982, >new religion< is of course one of the standout tracks from the classic >rio< album.

for this tune hem and terrible shock take apart an 80s soul lp, add some sci-fi synths, lazy drums and a sprinkling of analogue fx. after many painstaking hours of recording the duo take a well earned coffee break, then return to the studio just in time to see the back of the light-footed blunted robots man shortstuff as he runs off chuckling >your vocals are mine now!<. revenge plans are made, vehicles are fuelled up in preparation ? but these activities are cut short by the arrival of an email from the culprit ? it seems that he took the files back to his hq for what he describes as a refix ? with the engines still running, hem and shox check out the file and find it to be a work of genius ? what they hear is an accelerated kaleidoscopic fusion of on-beat claps and snares in a peak-time northern soul style, super heavy subbass hits and hectic syncopated keyboard chops.

short about the label:. a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we are gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it… id love to tell you a lot of things about frank agrario but only a few things are known… his real name is francesco brini he lives in bologna he used to play percussion with swayzak the cheesy italian he is he runs a label called mozzarella recordings(where we also snagged >upgrade<from) last but least, hes handed in two tracks for us. both slightly re-strung in the full pupp k16 lab in oslo, both lethal partystarters now go buy it...

icelandic president bongo, founding member and front shouter of legendary gus gus, meets up with french disco resistance dop, who just released their debut album >greatest hits< with a big orchestral bang. the outcome: a psychopathic dub stomper - >gossip rats< to the dancefloor please!

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.

big with: dubfire, roberto rodriguez, mijk van dijk, karotte, kissy sell out, makossa, david durango, aga heller, franksen, dan mangan, greg churchill, louis osbourne,.. following the huge >human you< (moon033) the much loved disco bear ante perry returns in a double-trouble beatdown head-to-head with tube & berger.just pure and simply an anthem, >ever never< is the type of record that you know you ll love even before its started. drenched in melancholic synth pop melody, heart-warming bass lines and euphoric moments, this future classic builds to a real finale!stereofunk provide a techier remix that treads the colourful lines between disco, tech house and cosmic exploration! soaring synths and funking basslines combine in this italo-inspired treat for the dancefloor

mumbai science is here.

to open eyes, not ears to hear what there is to see -- just one of the many paradoxes mainz-based butch manages to merge with verve. to capture the duality of his sounds that oscillate between under and over, techno and house, spirituality and marketability, club and home stereo, to celebrate the everyday high and question it at the same time, is just one of the many talents and specialties of this particular dj and producer whose light shines from the orient and whose future lies in yonderland. this and much more is the starting point for a terrific second long player, released by proud and excited bülent gürler himself on his very own, newly founded imprint bouq. leaving the flattering protection of his mayor label behind to spread his creative wings and fly around the world as free as a bird, the multi-facetted, mainz-based producer, more selfconfident and independent than ever, is presenting himself in the best party light

fifth release on the acclaimed imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed sleazybeats blog. the dust just doesnt seem to settle at team sleazy who are set to unleash their fifth dish of mid-tempo filth. sbr005 should likely round out what has undoubtedly been more than a successful year for the sleazy beats crew. as hard as it might seem to upstage their recent sampler, this release by berliner daniel solar (of no more hits and dikso fame) is another trio of totally on point sleazy business which showcases daniels stellar skills. things start off with midfidelity funk, a snappy romp through steady synth and disco string territory. this little number delivers a perfectly spell-binding groove with nicely placed rhodes stabs, crisp tambourines and haunting vocal at the breaks. on the flip, twinkle love snaps out a sweet melange of piano, guitar/bass riff and morphing vocals that combine to give a lively mood and open atmospherics. finally, rounding up the ep is la fleur, a wonky yet punchy cut thats ripe with staunch drum sounds and strings amidst loopy vocal snippets for good measure. all three tracks ride a 110ish bpm groove that is likely to ring bells for those who have been following and digging the sleazy sound so far. the last few releases all sold out in a matter of weeks, so dont sleep on this. you know the drill by now: limited release, no repress.

the final part of the epic remix album. you ve had the burial sampler, youve had the cd, youve had ep1 & ep2 and now its time for the final piece of this massive jigsaw. and what a piece it is marcel dettmann second remix of satellite type 2 is a masterpiece, it captures the essence of the original along with its energy. first class mix from berlins finest. on the flip we have metalheadz new boy pedestrian, and with support from giles peterson and more this guy is really making waves right now. the remix encapsulates the sound of the uk right now, people call it future garage we just call it good music. expect more from pedestrian and metalheadz in the future

striking the elusive balance between creativity, originality and pop sensibility, canyons have just unveiled the first taste from their debut album (due 2011) in the form of the new single, >my rescue<.
with an aural likeness to elements of psych, folk, house and everything deep, what is essential to canyons is that their music evokes a sense of feeling and truth, ruth. close your eyes, feel the sun on your face and prepare yourselves for the sonic vision that is canyons.

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011

incl. sascha dive remix!! ray okparas ama recordings returns after the resounding success of its debut release for ama002, the surrender ep by vernon & dacosta, the belgian based house project of vernon bara and massimo dacosta. the pair have been producing music for 10 years since meeting in belgium and have released tracks on labels such as om records, robsoul, aroma, a second smell, icon, diy, amenti, ready made, klassic fiasco, off rec. and many more. they have remixed over 40 tracks for artists such as brett johnson, fred everything, johnny fiasco, swirl people, jt donaldson, bear who? and someone else to name but a few. the surrender ep is characteristic of their style with a cold, industrial groove comfortably juxtaposed with an infectious soulful spirit. the lead track, about our music, centres on a groove that just keeps on keeping on, sleazing its way through your body before the vocalsam ple with an ode to jazz punctures the track. one of the finest exponents of the groove, sascha dive, steps into the remix for about our music with a dark beat dub that corrupts the bass line and warps the vocal into a distorted, eerie sermon…

two more missives from the leng stable, a stable basking in late afternoon sunshine the whole year round. here we have two remixes of cantoma tracks. on side a is ray mangs remix of under the stars a subtle disco groove, with a sweet rolling bass and a languid horn line that gently eases into the back of your mind, luring you into a hypnotic swirl. over on side-b lexx steps up to deliver an equally stunning take on gambara immdediately setting out a more electronic lilt, the track steadily builds into a mid tempo throb as the vocals wash over proceedings, while flute and acoustic guitar make way for each other in the melody stakes. timeless sounds on both sides evoking the summer just passed

ten years of moon harbour !! no more words, just music

nsyde music is happy to announce their first installment for this label. daso franke a.k.a. daso shows on nsyde music his deepest soul and his irresistable sense for activating great emotions. >why try< includes a certain warmth and invites every listener to slow down and float on a streched timeline that lets time and space pass by. shown to fred p, who inmediatly fell in love with the elegiac melancholy of the track, the idea of a remix was born. fred p alters the strechted timeline to a straight forward moving one. like an unstopable train ride the track starts to build up, step by step, ending up at cruising speed when the sublime warm chords hit reade truth opens up a big space for the original melody, the percussion work and the punchy bassdrum is just the right basis for the melody to meander. getting support from the likes of keith worthy, daniel bell, basic soul unit, efdemin etc. , this is gonna be something for the heads out there!

a1: >feels like< - a great start to this release, a dreamy vocal backed with heavy disco style percussion and a awesome bass line!
a2: >give you love< - classic nicholas right here! a great soulful vocal sample paired with chilled disco / house percussions.
b1: >i know< featuring nick anthony - this track brings something different to the release, a more percussive feel, again with classic nicholas style chopped vocal samples and bass.
b2: >inside my mind< - deep funky bass line, again great percussive elements with just right amount of space and nice keys/synth sounds. as with the rest of these tracks, a brilliant vocal sample tops it off!

outsider just rocks big time and is pure 2010 techno with more than a bite !

jatoma are all about the unknown and though they are new amongst us they remain cloaked in paradoxes and already questioned by many. some think that one of the members is a famed producer amongst 2 genius teenagers.
others project they are a side act for a band held in the highest regard. some will speculate they are just trying to get more attention by remaining unknown. the facts remain blurry and ambiguous but there remains an clear authenticity surrounding these factors - jatoma are clearly one of 2010s most inventive new acts our ears have had the pleasure to hear and its with our excitement we welcome them to kompakt. so enter their self-titled debut full length - >jatoma<.

one sided white label of the radioslave panorama garage remix of simon baker >too slow<. all the usual suspects have it, but it wont be around for long, and its just on vinyl for now!

just a classic breaks monster…. special backstock

solabs music is inspired by the detroit legacy, both in a musical and theoretical approach. the duos tracks have an otherworldliness to them, providing a glimpse at other places, imagined or real. indeed, on celestial tales, the feeling pervades that while the intricately woven melodies and complex beats are beautiful in their own right, they are really just providing pointers to a hitherto unexplored place. the beautifully evocative sounds of this ep work purely on a musical level. solab combine techno & house in a brilliant way making this a sure-shot follow up to their previous lifeworld twelve distant galaxy!

new york, chicago, detroit? nop, boring shizzle!! just try miami!! sun, butts, flamingos and music! only an idiot can think this way! the bar is for sure the answer to the question: what is the most important part of the house? so what is more obvious than crowning a house-track with a vocal by the person who enhances life to the bar and to the party as well as the dj? luna city express wants to build a monument for the ones bearing this responsible task and say thank you, together with enliven deep acoustics. they want to pay homage to the person every visitors welfare depends on! so just imagine the bartender not only leverages your drinkable luck but also sings for you! not only sing, just utterly make the party to an unforgettable experience which makes the dancefloor to a trivial idea. everybody who is pleasured by this record is forced by associations which will make her or him hugging the person behind the bar!!

>france 2< deservedly takes the headline-grabbing attention-seeking lead track position: pure mediterranean melodrama with a bold approach to gut-wrenching operatic melody that vangelis himself would be proud of. on a further anthemic tip comes the atonal melancholic vocal symphony of >voci giaga<, whose delicately constructed layers of harmonic voices build up to form something very special indeed. >h2< meanwhile is an exuberant explosion of arpeggios underpinned by an insistent analogue club groove, whilst to finish, the heady, disorientating >oceano< promises to be a key component of many a dj journey over the coming months, leaving your faithful disciples just-the-right-kind-of-lost within the cosy dancefloor bubble. already homegrown heroes in the club scene of their native italy, with the >france 2 ep< the time has come for margots 21st century krautrock message to reach out across the rest of the world.

croatian nu-disco/funk/boogie overlord ilija rudman has swung by around here. once more he is spinning his audio gems on the legendary bearfunk label. this time is the ever so funky new release soul embrace . ilija gets his niles rogers hat on and peppers this sparkler with chingy-funk guitar. add in some big rolling, dx-style, chugger bass and lashes of darting percussion and there you have it...floor-filler dynamite. the original mix and the spectacularly 80 s styled extended mix make an appearance. our man also goes straight for the beat jugular with his drum, beat and percussion heavy bonus beats mix. to round things off, label head bear, stevie kotey, takes on the remix duties. he brings some real bass along to the party and new layers of slick keys. turning down the floor quotient just a notch, this one is pure slow-burn disco done well, very well.

the devils hands have been busy! blackdisco presents an evil batch of house obscurities sliced, diced and dosed with a secret potion from the haunted house of justin vandervolgen (tbd, golf channel, dfa). this is an especially sinister release, just in time to work the hell out of your dancefloor at this years halloween party. but dont be frightened, the madness contained within will surely outlast any single night of terror. this is a definite must for those not faint of heart. no repress, my dear children, no repress

ctf is like a ufo which landed in the middle of disney land, annihilating all the phony shit around it with lasers switched on kill. a totally unprecedented surprise of a vinyl date rape without a date or a warning. these two tracks are genre defining and genre defying. this is the real future perpetual funk - out of nowhere. just a big smelly chubby chunk of energy made right on your plate before your nose.

dixie yure is the incarnation of contemporary oldschool house music from seville. after some digital only releases it is about time for some haptic experience. with the 10“ record „show me satisfaction“ on berlin-based label fenou his sound is rotating on turntables for the first time. monotonous minimalism ain’t dixie yures world. the sound tends more towards 2step and builds a homogeneous and pleasant mixture with classical house elements and vocal parts. you just cant deny yourself dancing the >chicken dance< and stepping like hell! thanks to the funky improvisations extending over the whole track you wont get bored even after listening to >show me< for the hundredth time. the a-side is just fun - in the club as well as on your couch. you wont miss the low-pitched vocals on the b-side either as they are typical for the spanish producer. >satisfaction< is a little more reduced than >show me< but is enhanced with jazz elements such as pianos and saxophones. it shows that wind instruments in electronic music dont have to be annoying tribal elements. in this example acoustic instruments do not just get mixed up with house music but merge to one groove – absolutely rocking tune!

diynamic and h.o.s.h. are back with an exciting and fresh release! cash the chord which also is the pre-released single from h.o.s.h.s album debut connecting the dots (out in october) is a warm piece of future funk house music that doesnt want to be pressed in further explanation by words. just feel it baby! along with it come three colourful remixes that transport the original in other directions. where as audiojack and ntfo clearly have the floor in mind you will find a totally different more experimental approach by 360 (nuno dos santos and patrice bäumel). once again h.o.s.h. and diynamic deliver pure!

we would like to dedicate this release to our colleague and good friend aaron-carl who passed away on the 30th of september 2010. during the whole process of creating and thinking this record with ivel, aaron has been supportive from day one. he was a great musician and an amazing human being. his loss has affected all of us. it is very sad to think that this will probably be his last remix to come out, thus making this record and his remix even more meaningful. out of all the words aaron could have chosen out of martin luther kings speech for this remix, he chose the phrase >i just want to do gods will<. i think that god, if theres one, has called him by his side way too early. life will continue, aaron-carl and his music will stay in our hearts

edit-select reach their 10th release, and to celebrate they have chosen possibly the biggest track from the previous 9 releases. gary becks consumed. this monster of a track (which featured on richie hawtins sounds from can elles dj magazine mix), has been remixed by mark broom, and dutch techno legend speedy j. brooms bang bang mix is typical of his dark techno sound which of course fits perfectly on edit select, and speedy j cranks the intensity up a notch, with his repetitive groove that just sounds immense on a big system (when of course played on vinyl). there you have it. the labels biggest release to date, and by far the most limited

after the big success of pascal feos longplayer >terra bong<, levelnonzero is coming up with the first remix part. we are happy to welcome marcus meinhardt from the label >upon you< on board, just as frank leicher and chris wood. all of them created a remix in there typical style !

after a lengthy break from the electronic music world, genotype is back with an lp for exit records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias just jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as trouble on vinyl, renegade hardware and reinforced records, its no surprise that he has managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of jungle. many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. the dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for west indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud
