applescal one of the hottest exports from the netherlands. he has won the prize for the best national techno live act in 2008. >paul for president< is a huge acid tune with a touch of organic liveliness that makes just the difference while >monster< takes it one step further and combines wonderful melodies with acid energy

franco cangelli is back on mowar with deep and spacy techno grooves. >locked on< goes in a stripped down techno alley with basic square grooves layered with a drifting sawtooth bass sound that gradually shows its teeth and gets you down there... estroe turns this groover into a deep workout, soul music for emotional cyborgs, with strings creating a melancholic detroitish feel. >create your own space< is a techno soul track where stabbing chords and lullaby pads make sweet love to square bass melodies and off-beat rhythms. it s a deep groover in the strictest sense. glasgow s solab from seventh sign give the track a more uplifting feel retaining the original s deepness but adding an element of raw dancefloor friendliness. mowar stands for quality deep techno and this third release delivers you just that

for all of those that are in the search of some solid proper banging techno, end your search. this is what you are waiting for all this time. crowdpleasing techno for all who like it rough and slightly dark but still with enough energy to keep you up and dancing all night. no drugs needed, just move on the music and go on and on and on and on...

the soul clap boys from boston who come up with the next airdrop outing, outdoing themselves every single time. it’s becoming increasingly hard to hammer them down to a certain sound or aesthetic as their thirst for innovation is just unquenchable! >puppy crack< is a potent dance drug and should immediately be banned to avoid further brain damage. dripping into your drainage like some highly potent acid, the track breaks down into the wonkiest mayhem that clubbers ears have heard in a long time!for those who like it darker, the ragged >beat the puppy< tool is the one! not beating around the bush but rather beating the poor squelching animal, the track rages subliminally, gripping tight around the neck with a metallic beat that should have any old party dog wagging its tail rhythmically while the voice filters in causing uproar with its build-up.call in the ambulance and hope the doctor saving you when your overdose is mikael stavöstrand: he is just such a fine balancer and knows how to dose right: >puppy crack< becomes a deep entrancing affair with squelching noises and hypnotic synths that underline squeaking and clicking effects. slowly the whole affair culminates in an evil addiction you did not even notice you developed!

toolroom smash their way into 2009 with the awesome new double a side from f.l.g. (fedde le grand) >amplifier & pink bird<. after his first release on toolroom in 2007 with the massive >just trippin< feat mc gee fedde returns with two peak time club tracks to cement himself as not only a master at delivering chart number ones but also big underground main room shakers! lead track amplifier does exactly what it says on the tin, with influences from the early sound in chicago fused with pounding drums and an earthy synth ready to eat up any speaker system that it plays from, this will shake up any floor into a frenzy! second track pink bird has a more techy feel merging skippy beats, a rolling bassline and stabbing synths to have your head nodding more than churchills dog! building up to the breakdown it will have you hooked as it unleashes a whirlwind of groove guaranteed to get any club moving. an essential release setting the standard for 2009!

untill last year sound and stereo were just two words that popped up every once in a while in your hifi-installation s manual. in the beginning of 2008 those two words stopped being just random: sound of stereo saw the light of day. in only a few months time they conquered the hearts of music lovers all over the world. the belgian scene also responded really well to their presence and they were noticed rather fast by the famous lektroluv label. in november their first ep came out and had massive response in belgium and abroad. one of the singles on that ep – supah dupah – is said to be played over 100 times each weekend in belgium alone . a follow-up ep is nothing more than a logic continuation of this succes. the new single heads up! is already being tracklisted by the likes of crookers and bloody beetroots. bloody beetroots liked the track so much that they decided to make a remix of it, as well as dj manaia, a portuguese wonderboy from the kuduro-surroundings of buraka som sistema. at the end of february the new ep will be presented at culture club ghent, one of belgium s most legendery clubs, where international bigshots such as 2manydjs and the glimmers had a residency. in the beginning of march the heads up! ep will be available online and in the shops. so get your rocks off, your heads up and enjoy the sound of stereo!

the running back sports team is glad to welcome two new players to its roster. dplay and whiz kid manuel tur (see also his brilliant ribn stuff) have caused a great stir with a bouquet of 12-inches for outfits like zurichs beloved drumpoet community or the compost black label as well as knocking out well-made remixes. for instance, their work on kiloos the passion is just adorable. here we have them melted into one organism called dplay, while mtur moves in silence (or in the production credits, if you please). stretching out on the a-side, huub sand is not only a tribute to two of schalke 04s greatest gentlemen, but a prime-example of cavernous, stoic and infective house those two (no not the schalke guys) had quite an impact on. initially planned to come with a remix by the mighty radio slave (please look at cat-no. 012 to see what became of that), our coach could convince the duo to hand out two rather atypical, nonetheless bloodcurdling tunes instead: tschaka kicks some deep dub disco houz styles of the highest orders with riot-like effects on your mind, body & soul. finally, schroulé is a claustrophobic corker, if we have ever seen one. should be the perfect sound track for padded cells and the up-and-coming remake of mel brooks frankenstein. these ruhrpott kids are alright!

fine arranged melodies from multiple sound sources, as stated in his biography, are the building blocks of which daniel mehlhart considers to be the essence of good music. putting what he preaches into practice has affirmed the 22-year-old swiss born, frankfurt am main resident, as one of the most exciting new talents in the underground tech-house movement. his most acclaimed release was the harp-tinged origami, released last summer on kindisch, which catapulted him into the record bags and charts of a slew of seasoned djs during the end of last summer. >scharade< is an example of young daniel sticking to what he does best, mixing and blending techno. atmospheres and sonic images while still animating an organic and natural vibe over the tracks. liberal amounts of percussion and a middle eastern or asian vocal dramatically pitched this tune beyond recognition watermark with a style and a vibe that he has helped to advance. the house roots of >distracted conscience< are present right from the onset. using a double pump kick to inject a pinch more of energy into the already flourishing habitat of off-kilter and spooky sound effects. so many in fact it is easy to see how he came up with the name, >distracted conscience<, as there are more effects floating around in this track than thoughts in the head of an 8-year-old who forgot his daily dose of ritalin. he turns to an ethnic vocal on >alura< again, but keeping the overall mood of this outing a bit deeper. he pulls out even more percussion instruments including extra shakers, toms and bongos all marching along harmoniously. this is a head down, hands-up, side-to-side bopper that just keeps quietly elevating as subtle elements are added and subtracted throughout the duration of the tune. a coherent composition and dj tool all in one. although this is his second release there are no signs of a sophomore slump anywhere in site, as daniel mehlharts talent lies in his unique, but subtle ability to gel different eleme

the return of low level for 2009 sees the boys take another 2 classics blurs song 2 guitar licks get underpinned with nu electro foundations & underworlds cowgirl keeps all the original energy, just pumping it up a level for a real festival smash. well done, these both work a treat.

prologue and juho kahilainen (bpitch control, frozen north, initial cuts) release a wonderful deep depressive giant ep called prophet without a vision. juho is recognized as a great electronic artist in europe with the right talent to take you on an excessive dance floor journey without any compromises. de:bug wrote about juho, everybody should take an eye on his productions. prologue shares the same opinion! juho kahilainen has produced one of the greatest summer hits last year on bpitch control and is back on prologue music with a mind-boggling ep called prophet without a vision, now. he is delivering perfect techno tracks with space consuming tunes and unbelievable deepness, people cannot really sit down... you must dance. but dont lose too many words about this prologue release, just listen to it and be surprised. mastered by oliver lieb. support from cio dór, oliver lieb, alex flatner, donato dozzy and many more to come!

orlando voorn prod. detroit influenced techno!!! ltd repress !!! alongside fix - flash, this is, in my opinion, the best thing orlando voorn has ever done. released on derrick mays fragile label back in 1993 its one of those tracks that just sounds like the future. highly recommended

hot stuff !! system of survival & amor t s hotly tipped ianvs71 is back with some exciting new signings for their mmix ad (2009) release schedule project. just like with their naturelle ep (ianvs71_001), the label keeps combining with this new release, the primal energy of house and the willful embrace of post-modern techno-deepness. here to-go three mixes to shake and challenge souls and bones. metrica one night offers three exciting mixes combining the primal energy of house to the willful embrace of techno deepness. quality house, irresistible groove with no inhibitions! highly recommended for fans of house, luciano, villalobos

sweet 16 is a perfectly judged slice of disco punk, producer grahmzilla hooking up a beat which sounds like the clash hanging out at studio 54 while isis tells of the joys and dangers of being sixteen and ruling the dancefloor. its not clear whether the natural stage genius (time out) is encouraging under age sex, cautioning against it or just suggesting engaging in some healthy exhibitionism. whatever the message she makes it sound great. cruise low is as low slung and bass heavy as you d expect from the title, isis whispering about popping the trunk with a mixture of enticement and threat. bonus track whateveruneed is an epic instrumental electro symphony from grahmzillas hard drive. ny mover and shaker eli escobar rounds out the package with a mix of sweet 16 which harks all the way back to planet rock...

rap sensation cerbral vortex (born in texas but really a citizien of the world) and new kid on the beatmachine erik l (born in stockholm but musically at home in the motor city) present >kitty cat kabbodle< a four track theme ep dealing with love, sex and relationships. featuring the one and only kissey asplund, singer stray and ezekiel 38. love, beats & rhymes - phresh for 2009. cerebral vortex is also making noise as one half of the two man club rap duo 215:the freshest kidz (who have a record out with rustie) and has just released the >vortex cookies< 12inch with robot koch on up my alley. artwork desgined by mike davis.

a massive electro house mix!!!! this track just builds and builds. will sure be popular amongst the big djs. tight beats, as you would expect from beat machine!

a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented

its about time that i put you all up on some more electro...yeh, i know, ive been pretty biased with all the hip hop & sneaker posts! the blogs going to have a bit of a facelift soon, including some of the content, so stay tuned! anyhow, this gem comes from french duo donovan. to sum up their style, theyve got a chromeo-esque kind of sound to them, crunchy electro with an 80s feel. theyve also banged out some sick remixes for the likes of sebasiten tellier & in the club (their remix of turn you on is straight fire). breakin sounds great dave spoon (radio 1 - worldwide) yet another quality release from work it baby. this label really has developed its own sound release by release and its always a great quality especially in these days of all the same.matteo esse (cosmonote srl / various worldwide) charlie fanclub remix is real nice dj neoteric (many / dubsided records / national + international touring) i fucking love the charlie fanclub mix, totally up my street. i will be hammering it.

played by: ricardo villalobos, steve bug & matthias tanzmann minimono delights us once again with two new refreshing tracks. >stay away< is a typical minimono track, with playful cartoon-like sounds, the aesthetics of minimal and a housy groove. sounds like fun, huh? in contrast >el guapo< could be interpreted as deephouse, but the snappy beats keep your feet moving while the chord-like sounds make you want to close your eyes and just drift away.

already supported and played by djulz, mathias kaden, brothers vibe, tadeo, falko brocksieper... rosario is back to esperanza with our beloved franco cinelli. evolving on every single release, franco makes a strong comeback after his warehouse ep. the a side >green & blue<, that also names the ep, shows us his style in full effect with grooooovy percussive hints, analog touches, old school flavour and lot of sunrays. on the flipside, damian schwartz reworks the track turning it into a trippy detroit house affair perfect for every real >party lover< (yeah, for the ones who stay until late). >blue before sunrise< is the track for late night, sunset, sunrise, afterparty, warmup, etc. versatile, isnt it? but such a beautiful relaxed atmospheric song should be part of any classy session. enjoy the beats! its limited to vinyl and just 500 copies!.

stone cold classic funky disco floor filler thats stood the test of time. first time ever on 12inch!!! taken from the hard to find self titled lp by tommy stewart, bump & hustle music is the definitive disco funk party anthem. it was recorded in 1976 in atlanta, georgia, and since then the lp has found itself in the play boxes of soul, funk and jazz djs alike. however, its not until now that this amazing song has finally made it onto the preferred format of dance djs the world over – the 45rpm 12inch single. in 1976 tommy stewart was a busy man, working as an arranger, producer, performer and writer for a host of soul and rnb artists. the lp made for abraxas records was the first to go directly under his name, and although it failed to take off locally, the lp soon became known by djs across the world primarily for the club smash bump & hustle music. as it happens that song in particular almost didnt exist but for tommy needing to come up with something quick in order to fill in a gap in the album. conceived and recorded on the spur of the moment, and with backing vocals by isaac hayes singers hot buttered soul overdubbed later, its a superb example of rhythmic simplicity blended with soulful, catchy harmonies. its just impossible to listen to bump & hustle music without a broad smile coming to your face, and when played loud in a club, its impossible not to dance!

from minimal to electro infected techhouse with dinamoe, m.i.d.i. & mowree, alex piccini and monque
