things open up with >naked<. the kink mix in full effect. it sounds like a soundtrack to an alien invasion for the first half before the squelchy and slightly wonky synths rotate the oscillators to full effect.
>this time< keeps the drums four miles deep but adds on slabs of discordant waveforms. >goody gumdrops< drops in smatterings of portamento blasted arppegiator lines and negative question is all about the handclaps and pulsating bass. a fine rough guide ... and debut for anyone to be proud of.

lets have fun! - thats the mantra of big zis and the crew of nation music. the swiss black music label has been broadening its musical spectrum over the past years. just like the artist big zis, whose music could most likely be labeled electro pop alternative punk rap, they dont care about common conventions.while rap becomes more and more pimped out, house loopier and minimal narrow-minded, big zis hooks up with a top-class troupe to get it her own way.for her most recent album und jetz … (and now …) she worked with marton di katz and valentino tomasi (both members of kalabreses famous rumpelorchester), who laid the musical foundations for most of the songs. for the impulsive electro on the track suure räge (acid rain) however, big zis collaborated with the techno producer michal ho (tuningspork) at the studio. suure räge got remixed by several well-known producers: robag wruhme (freude am tanzen) and canson (gs zürich) are to be found on volume 1 and the soul brothers lexx (aka kawabata / drumpoet) and kalabrese (stattmusik) successfully combat boredom on volume 2. the sound scapes of the remixes couldnt be any more diverse and cover a broad variety of styles. and be sure: volume 3 - work in progress - will delight you as well!

quality house ep with vocal & deeper tracks to keep fans of this great label more than happy..! dynamodyse is the deepest german we know and he is hailing from dortmund, usually only known for sausages and the odd good result of the local football team. as we dont believe in stereotypes and we have been listening to loads of superb teutonic house music these last years, we never questioned the association between the words deep and german and we just listened to the music. safe to say it blew us away.

big with: dj koze, brothers vibe, anthony collins, julietta, retrac(acid casuals), varoslav, nekes, ray okpara, johnny d., v.sexion, dimi angelis, ben anders, fimo ...
the 4th release on diaphan music comes as a va with 4 strong trax, that are already played by a lot of national and international artists like brothers vibe, anthony collins, nekes, ray okpara, retrac from the acid casuals and so on, just to name some of them. on a1 spiky makes his debut with forest trees: a minimal track that generates a very funky groove with its cleverly arranged horn sequences. dusty hands on a2 is much deeper with its fat bass lines and some housy chords & vocals. the track is written & prod by lee fraged, the mastermind of the net-label >this side music<. coowee on b1 is written/ produced by little fritter.

without much need for introduction, archipel welcomes the talent of minus niederflur who bring with them the darkly blinding >lumen ep<. a lumen is a unit used to measure the perceived power of light and this ep is most definitely very powerful and certainly can be perceived as such. this is where the line between something as intangible as light is crossed and becomes tangible as one would feel an intense and warming heat which goes so far as to manifest itself as something with mass. title track >lumen< is the focused, convex lens, knife edge point of light which focuses a small portion of the suns energy so densely it could initiate many a blaze. >masse< is as dense as the most solid of gems and radiates dark light like heavy water and is sure to corrupt any geiger counter within its radioactive reach while >flor< stacks itself as high and wide as it can go, building further and further upon itself, and just as one would think it could build no further, it rotates itself back to within and further densifies, an inescapable sort of density of which one is eternally locked pleasurably within. >flucht< raises one into the blackest skies of night and flies hour after hour through blood orange clouds filled with the atmospherically scattered light from what was temporarily civilization below but is now just a memory shaded in the delight of being closed within the phosphorescence of late night fog.

storming new release on robsoul!! legendary dj sneak teams up with joss moog and label head honcho phil weeks for this massive 4 tracker!! another must have record from the parisian underground house label!!!

with the help of bodie lee and his nuboogie series project we managed to lay our hands on the master tapes of this early 80s disco hit by beggar & co. (and with hit we mean hit... like top 10 positions uk and us etc). we already got some raving reactions from people who use to love this big brit funk tune back in the days... and this might even sound better! nice remix challenge for greg wilson and elitechnique... both delivered the works! we could write a long story about the remixes and the remixers... but just choose your favorite. 2 sublime nu disco funk work outs!

hailing originally from japan but now operating out of ontario, canada, this is ms onos debut release, and she certainly proves her credentials on this clean, sharp but funky fusion of dubstep techno and electro. kuro shinju is abstract and oblique but crisply funky, whilst the flipside moon is not unlike the japanese art of ikebana where the spaces in between are just as important as what fills them. precision cut clarity.

just brilliant : luke slater remix

played by len faki, joris voorn, secret cinema, housemeister , funk d void, steve rachmad... alexander kowalski is back! after more than a year of not bringing out any new releases and leaving the >different< label, the first 12inch is now to appear on his own label >damage music berlin<, dmb for short. >the heat of the night< clearly takes the former kanzleramt flagship back to its original deep sound. this energy-laden dub-techno number is sure to make the dancers hearts beat faster, and to make them sweat - in the heat of the night... >its been a long way< is a typical pushy kowalski techno track that dares the tightrope walk between rolling basses and melancholic soundscapes. as for >dont judge me (just because i like the rave)<, the name says it all! this track is one of the smashers in the current kowalski live sets and has already taken apart a number of clubs in the process. alexander kowalski decided to found a label of his own primarily to release his own tracks that he has either tried and tested as part of his live sets or fresh ideas straight from his studio. in time, he also wants to provide a platform for other artists to publish their music. time to damage!

supported by laurent garnier, ben watt, dj yellow, shur i kan, nils nurnberg, florian meindl, mark knight, axwell!!! looking through my harddrive i just realized that this track is more than 2 years old ... shame on us!!! a few people were lucky enough to got it sent back then and the feedback was already exciting! the original version is a pure deephouse anthem drenched with pure soul! starting off with a moody and dark filtered string it leads into a pumpin deephouse groove ready to climax into a beautiful rhodes chord progression and that lovely m.u.s.i.c. vocal. its a perfect blend between deephouse and soul - pretty rare these days and set to become a future classic!! fred everythings mix is slightly more on the disco tip, tight drums and arrangement and a perfect addition to this package. finally we have another colab between the 2 label heads - called electric girl. its a sweet little disco midtempo groover with the typical trademarks of those 2 guys! enjoy this beautiful release - many people have been asking for this for quite a while!!

the sound of the sixties and seventies has never been so sought after as at the present moment...

it s good to see there are some folk still out there making proper electro. fans of classic drexciya will love the uhu tracks, if you have heard his earlier releases on gigolo then you will know just how good this guy us.
on the flip is juan pablo whose cinematic style of electro sounds like john carpenter mixed with early viewlexx and nature releases. this gets a big thumbs up from us so don t sleep on it.

high on the heels of their brand new album >24/7< gus gus serve us the second single outtake. >thin ice< is undeniably the key song on the album and therfore screamed for being revisited for dancefloor purposes. the a-side belongs entirely to the hamburg based trio wareika, which is not only sharing the tourbus as support act with our icelandic heroes on their extensive >tanz mit mir< tour but also raised some eyebrows with excellent releases onlabels like tartelet, connaisseur, liebe/detail or eskimo. their take on >thin ice< is a wonderful, epic journey into contemporary deephouse - approaching the original from its intimate, emotional side before taking a total different turn in the last third of the track. we have no clue where this angelic voice transcended from but for sure it gives us gigantic goosebumps. on the flip, matteo esse and sant aka analog people in a digital world deliver proof that their brilliant remake of st germain, >rose rouge< was not just a one-hit-wonder. it was and still is hammered by the top league djs like pete tong, luciano, michael mayer and many more. they know exactly which buttons to push in order to make this worlds dancefloors happy.

one-sided 12inch limited to 500 copies, mastered by dubplates and mastering, night jewel has been brewing in andy stotts laboratory for the last year, a real peak-time killer. info: >night jewel< is the first one-sided twelve on modern love for over a year and is andy stotts biggest club track since the release of his overnight sellout >hostile< 12 inch back in 2009. revolving around reverberating chords reminiscent of move d at his deadliest, its a track that just builds into a heaving mass of feelgood vibes, honed and primed for the floor.

actually after his debut album reflections this young man could take some time and relax, continue touring over the world or put his feet up during the week. but for mister stimming this is impossible. he just loves producing music much to much. we have nothing to say about this and are very happy to present you three fantastic new tracks. funk with me!

absolutely massive dop rework! will and tam went back to their roots and dusted off the sampler for >teddy s back<. strings and vocal cuts bring the soul and their trusty 101 delivers the bass line. as with many of their previous tracks together all the percussion is recorded in live - >because it sounds better and is fun to do<. they set out to achieve something that was heavy, rolling and organic yet with memorable moments that doesnt disappear into a never ending ableton conga loop... the original is already a firm favorite with the wolf + lamb crew and gilbr from chateau flight has also been supporting it for many months from an early version. our parisian friends dop deliver the goods on a major level with their remix. a truly filthy yet undeniably infectious song penned after a recent gig at the infamous berghain is backed by a surefire rhythm track and arrangement that is designed to move bodies. in wills words >not one i ll be playing to my mum<. just how we like it!

a monster of a track in its own right, feddeÆs reworking of praise you is just weÆve all come to expect from him û thundering beats that build and bounce towards what is surely one of the most classic vocal drops of recent years. synths warp, hi-hats drive and basslines kick as le grand works his magic towards a lush, warm breakdown that will have your hands raised way up high towards that legendary roof.

babaorum team remixed the famous hit by master techno and called my noise 4 remix by binum, qatja s, d n traxx & j3r & mister x - just enjoy!

nice price deal !!! ifidotas production wizard and master of the studio tboy has just completed work on his first ep titled >full range< - out now for the debut release on new london based label ifidota music. the ep includes the track >kioto<, an outstanding tune building warmly with a full range of electronic music production. this track has interesting tech-house grooves and deliciously charged rhythms with infectious melodies throughout making this track a true dance floor essential! on the flip side, >schu_mann< brings tboys signature bouncy tech house energies to climax! including many playful twists and plenty of hypnotic builds. >right!< is another bouncy track with some friendly outer space flavours thrown in. this one is sure to get your shoulders shuffling giving the rest of your body no choice but to follow … this boy knows how to make music!

submissions with another great techno release! two heavyweight producers ogi and the concrete djz work together to bring you one big fat ep! solid driving techno with the big kicks ogi is known for and the rolling style of the concrete djz combined.. if that isnt convincing enough, just listen and be amazed.

2nd e.p from basement soul aka greymatter via the kat label, which, in a similar vein to vol 1 hits hard bringing us 3 more edits with the sole intention of getting them feet firmly on the dancefloor and getting down proper. loads of support on this from horsemeatdisco, ashley beadle, domu etc.. chains is the teena marie beauty from 1980. ace funky disco with subtle (but very effective) cuts n beefed up drums. this edit rolls in at just over 7 mins and sounds all the mightier for it. newbans magic lady is a massive slab of afrocaribbean disco goodness pure n simple. horns…breakdowns…killa vocals and congas a plenty. girl watching is another funk-edged boogie big hitter. original by t-connection, greymatter takes the already massive original and takes things up a notch or two

try humanity is a heady mix of falsetto vocals and electro squelch that just oozes ghetto funk... taking it to the club, two heavyweights of the underground electronica music scene have been drafted in to add their unique tak

in form and informed moves from the heavy artillery imprint. fresh off the back of a storming garage match up with el b for the soul motive crew, labelhead rossi b and long term cohort luca smack it around some more with some utterly deranged bassline power manoeuvres, completely stripping off any lactic sounds sometimes associated with that scene, all leaving a pristine and utterly rampant rhythm mastery on show. i.d drops a sensual garage mover which delivers equal parts ruffage and sensuality with just the right amount of piquancy for club play, really delicious stuff . 501 runs the dances ragged with a banging rave-ready and heavily synth inflected side long cut for all the half-step massive dem rounding out a confident, varied dances ragged with a banging rave ready and heavily synth inflected side long cut for all the half-step massive dem rounding out a confident, varied and complete package from this fine bristol label.

nice price deal !!! alessio mereu, a classical piano player since he was just an eight years old kid, moved to electronic music in the last few years with his trade mark hypnotic and full of groove defined style. even though he is a very young artist, he is a talented and appreciated producer who broke the scene just at 18. recorded for eminor records, orion & paco osunas mind shake label.
this, his 1st release for pick pocket, will feature some of his best work, francas heart has all the marks of being a hit, groove is so spot on & melodies coming in & out through out the track. this has all the right elements in the right places. a classic 10 / 10
dancing in the dark - this track simply moves you in so many ways, excellent percussive programing & synth lines that wave in & out of this simply. very nice piece of work. a new talented artist to watch out for in 2008.
padded cell - pick pocket comes with yet another deep cut, this time more minimaldub than techno, with some deep basic channel frequencies that will make you connect with your deeper side. it s all about the rhythm & the sound ...

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

here it is ... the fourth volume of the rebirth unreleased series. it includes hot material and brand new exclusives: music from artists like a:xus, rocco, tevo howard and andre lodemann.
after a few years of silence austin bascom is back as a:xus another fantastic song! featuring the sweet vocals of graph nobel, >suite disappointment< grew in the last few months and is ready for a full release in october. the original package included mixes from pete heller, james teej and motorcitysoul, and received the support of a diverse range of djs. it has been played by tiesto, erik morillo and joris voorn in their essential mixes on bbc radio1. rocco (rodamaal), who loved and supported the original mix for months, drops two deeper, soul infused, techytinged remix, proper house music we ve heard in a while! food for your soul!
just signed from rebirth, angela k. is an artistic alter ego born in 2005: angela scalvini, conservatory trained songwriters, meets the electronic artist isacco zanola and experimental guitarist maurizio rinaldi. from germany, rising producer andre’ lodemann, transforms >ballad< into a soulful techno master-piece that grows and grows with every play. takes the strength and sharp nature of the original and sets it against a clinically clean and instantly mesmerising techno backdrop, a gorgeous concoction of shrill synths and crisp beats!
a mysterious figure in music tevo howard is surely a very talented producer coming from chicago. his brand new track >crazy love< is already big for djs like tiga, tensnake, manuel tur and deetron!

professor genius from italians do it better fame (in real life jorge velez) and speculator also known as grackle, galaxy toobin, one half of smackulator or just william burnett... and they are now pg&s. pg&s has paired up to create some very personal tracks... there are three collaborations and 2 solo tracks of both. going somewhere between trippy kraut rock to more psychedelic disco. our favorite is the powerful introvert kraut disco work out called jive. limited release on the new label from greece!

clone west coast series continues with more hot releases! after tyrell and mr pauli its the hasbeens (tyrell & overdose) who deliver the heat!. this is as big as you can get it! we could do a lot of talking about the track and the daily struggle of human beings etc... but just listen. top production leaning on classic italo but in a new modern jacket with sharp production... the clone west coast sound :-) simply irresistible

after his recent release on clone a made up sound (aka 2562) presents his new platform for his own beat freakery. it is no news anymore that dave huismans is one talented guy! his debut 2562 album was one of last years highlights ... and his new album set for early winter 09 will be not create a smaller buzz! in the meanwhile mr huismans also managed to squeeze out some killer tracks out of his machines for his a made up sound project! these 2 tracks will get a limited run on his newly started label. >rework< started out as a sneaky bonus remix but ended up as a killer techno track in its own right, with stomping 4/4 beats, an irresistibly simple 3 note chord melody and gut-wrenching sub bass. contrasting is >closer< on the flip, where a yearning vocal stab spirals around a warm synth line that just keeps on building over signature punchy broken beats and a big b-line, all the way until its climaxing breakdown. highly recommended!

zoot woman present their third album. things are what they used to be has by no means strayed from the dark and atmospheric, hooky and melodic road, but what we now hear is a strikingly upfront, passionate, and mature development.the euphoric title track emphasises the want to return to how things once were in another state of mind, time and place. while this album takes you on a journey, sometimes introspective and often drenched in desire, each track is unique. from the pulsing hook line of we wont break, feeding an addiction to emotional melody in lonely by your side and more than ever, then to be shaken up by the pounding stadium electro of witness.

history has spawned hundreds of genius double acts – where two minds and talents collide to form something innovative and artistically challenging. unfortunately, spirit catcher are just a pair of european weirdos. jean vanesse and thomas sohet have collaborated under their spirit catcher guise on such notable labels as 20:20 vision, silver network, missive, winding road, and nrk. their electronic disco tech dancefloor bombs get play from an immensely wide range of djs looking to help their crowds freak the funk. we are proud to have this highlyinfluential duo on our 15 year anniversary compilation. beezy operator is pure spirit catcher, and this time they bring an infectious soulful vocal to really spice things up,

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

played by luciano, laurent garnier, timo maas, d julz, bart skills and more!
polytone remains in deep territories and has signed two of the most exciting tracks of drei farben house (brut!) so far. on final call the berlin resident succeeds in building a bridge between minimal aesthetics and the musicality of deep house which has rarely been heard in this form. in this 8-minute track a whole series of musical themes are flashing yet held together by a lot of instinctive feeling. on looking back to control drei farben house is just as deep and melodically interesting and again relies on unusual track structures. in his remix matthias vogt from motorcitysoul works out the chords and melody themes of the original even more and turns final call into an exciting, swelling affair whereas newcomer baldo (dubhe) transforms the original track into a brilliant and wonderfully classic piece of dubtechno.

early support from raresh, 2000 and one, mathias tanzmann, federico molinari, alex niggemann, robert dietz, nima gorji, anja schneider, julien chaptal, ellen alien, djulz, neil quigley, nic fanciulli, alex celler, dorian paic (its a superbomb!) …
bloop is fast becoming a bit of a name amongst those in the know for quality output across the house spectrum so its no surprise to see net28, esperanza and lomidhigh rising star kasper on the imprint with his chicago take 12 inch. if youve checked the spaniards recent contributions to wolf & lamb or net28, you will be aware of his funk laced house wigglers which combine old and new wonderfully and >chicago take< is no different.

claire ripley, the london based producer and head of her new phobic records imprint sends over some lovely extended and hypnotic vibes with this magnifi cent four tracker, backed up by a classy remix by gorge of 8bit and cecille fame. just the right medicine as summer draws to a close! written and produced by herself, & engineered by justin drake, the ep captures all the excitement & promise that a new artist like claire exudes, plus the added bonus of having one half of peace division working the mix. nice! title track labyrinth introduces us into claires world with long, drifting arrangements full of tension and cooly placed melodic sentiments. deeply tuned, chunky drums work the floor while only a handful of carefully selected elements sing their tune. flirting between sunrise synth-lines and tingling atmospheric moments its a haunting adventure into modern hypno-house. gorges remix of >labyrinth< lifts the energy a notch with his trademark rolling drums and pushing energy from the very start. using the main hooks with discretion this 8 minute drum workout is a tough, addictive and essential club tool.

*special white vinyl pressing for the first 500 copies only* part man / part machine hizatron takes berkane sol in a new acidic direction with the outstanding tune that is von glooperstein. atmospheric, refined, techy, funky and deranged are all accurate descriptions of this ever evolving masterclass in gloop. beautiful digi bells, crisp clicks and clacks and a monster lead line all combine to work even the most demanding dancefloor. this tune will mix with uk funky just as well as it does with techno and house. it features on the recent geiom fact magazine mix.
