vinyl part 1 of 2! we like this series sooo much.. so we are happy that we can offer you the vinyl release. we want to say thank you and see you soon. first a look back, and of course, the show must go on... a wonderful 2011 year full of delights in the groove we leave behind. on the occasion of the 5zig compilation the cooking has gone positively viral. the accompanying tour stretched a lot of muscle fibers. now we aim a sweeping blow in the form of a collection as a gift, with new music for the future. we are attempting naturally through >excess of beatrhythms, to stimulate the youth to excess<. whether this excess is manifest in the head or the legs is for each to decide for himself. carefully-crafted beat-music with electronic attachments are delivered to you.

spring has arrived. think daffodils, premature outdoor parties, ambitious bbqs and the new fina 007. continuing our trend for spotting emerging stars we have enlisted the talents of mannheim poacher turned gamekeeper, and air london starlet, steffen deux. after mixing the >5 years of 8 bit< compilation and appearing on cocoons party animals mix , steffen has demonstrated his ability to turn his loft club fame, into a reputation as a producer, not just a record maestro.

it is that time of the year again for a catch up on all that has been going on at nang towers. for the third instalment of our array series we are chuffed to present a few recent hits, a few future hits and some great tunes we just had to include. the sampler 12 inch takes the more vinyl friendly bits and crams them all onto one cool vinyl.

edits may be dead, but just when your elitist attitude comes to a head and you think you re on top of your game, there will always be someone deeper, faster and still motivated enough to rekindle your digging desires. where blackdisco volume 10 saw the return of lovefingers and nitedog, volume xi pushes forward into new territory (and with a new aesthetic) by welcoming a group of three deep diggers who shun musical trends and their inherent fakers. dea, albion & spacelex combine their vinyl-mining efforts to unearth some real diamonds from the rough. deas cut malaka is a floater with a funky sailboat vibe, while his complimentary cut taubat takes the tired jungle disco vibe to new level with its triumphant synth-led chorus, an absolute stunner that could be extended for 20 minutes. on the flip, albion spoons water over the coals, steaming up the joint with an uptempo percussion bomb as if santana had a disco secret, and spacelex rides us out with a sexy rock groove complete with mysterious male voiceover, almost as if someone lowered the volume to whisper in your ear.

transmissions from the cyber dance imprint have been sporadic since its inception in 2005, but when they arrive they are always something very special indeed. ostensibly one of italo discos great lost producers, we suspect that bandidos gang may well be a nom de plume for one of the labels many associates. whatever their provenance, the tracks certainly sound like vintage italo, with >marinche< leading with a pulsating bass arpeggio and synth horn melody worthy of moroder, whilst the flemming dalum & steen gjerulff remix adds layers of vocoder and a variety of cosmic accents to its sturdy frame. >last train to tucamari< meanwhile takes a more languid approach, pulling in an opposite direction to the speeding train samples, whilst flemming dalum & mike saltas remix adds some guitar licks, hazy synth atmospherics and even a flute solo which just adds to the classic italo feel.

after their vakant debut in 2011, exactly one year later the romanian duo livio & roby is back with their latest creation for the label. shinichi, hatzumotos little sister for the ones who know, is a proper 2 track ep, both cuts in unmistakeble romanian tech manner, raw, driving and twisted as only inhabitants of the carpathian mountains can deliver. as a digital bonus you’ll find just us, livio & robys more deep approach on modern electronic music and the perfect appendix for this ep.

for correspondant 06, we have invited another french producer who comes from paris and calls himself offset. after a series of jazz/funk projects, offset found his calling with electronic music. >gazoline< is the title track and its a straight dance floor burner that crawled under our skin on the first listen. >subversive< is proof that slow can be dark, groovy, powerful, and sexy all at the same time, and >addicted< has a taste of trance just the way we like it, not too much, but just enough.

nsyde is delighted to welcome another outstanding artists within our little growing family, imugem orihasam. with this ep nsyde indulges his love for pure detroit techno.imugem orihasam succeeds like no other to balance apparent opposites by using cool and clear transparency in contrast to the mesmerizing and warm pulsating soundscapes to create depth of the highest quality. if jeff mills and john beltran would ever have collaborated then it would probably sound like a1 “gleam from distant gate” is one of those tracks which seem quite unremarkable first, but with the time it creates a massiv hypnotic attraction, a wormhole-like effect you cannot escape from. that space seems endless, just right big enough to loose yourself in it. b1 misty evening seems to be just the right soundtrack to build an underwater metropolisis. it starts building a 2 minute elevated tension before its firering on all cylinders. b2 kotoni is clearest balance and harmony. it sooths your soul like the presense of a japanese garden. spirits are floating free – time and space is marvelous! welcome imugem orihasam!

karat is delighted with this new single by seuil. we have been watching this guy attentively in his progression and we are glad to finally find him on karat while his production skills have reached a ripe condition. we guess his rise has just begun so watch him carefully in the near future. the two tracks of the record, in different ways, are close to karats spirit, deep, funkyand abstract enough to be used as a floorfiller or at home for a precise listening.
>sub boogie drama< is a jazzy atmosphere with an elegant restraint, even if you can feel the real swing in it.
>ketalgine network< offers a true inner odyssey, deep, sensual, funky and exquisitely oppressive.

in over 10 years of experience in the hard electronic music scene, stormtrooper has scored releases on labels such as industrial strength, artillery, deathchant and several others, always bringing a different sound which has shocked the crowds of many countries. now, after his appearance on sana 10, the man strikes back on the 17th release of cerebral destruction with 4 intense, multifaceted tracks which contain the result of his latest sound research. nice and quiet sound e.p. is not just an alchemic mixture of hardcore and drum and bass, but blends also everything in between in a way only stormtrooper can. another dancefloor cleaner? no way! while having his sound fresh and experimental, peter kept the vibe which moves the crowd always avoiding the obvious combinations. the truth is that there are no words for this record the only way to fully understand is to listen for yourself the nice (and not so quiet) sound of stormtrooper!

following the stunning album that (finally) surfaced on tirk records last year, seventeen-piece live disco band escort arrive on sister label nang via red music by popular demand with two of the most prevalent cuts from the album, cameleon chameleon & starlight, remixed by anglo-japanese powerhouse max essa, and red records label boss and ilija rudman. ilijas cut of cameleon chameleon is as funky as they come, enveloping strains of the originalin his silken synth work and driving dance-floor percussion. edits of adeline micheles vocal hook are teased in throughout, beautifully done but never deriving from the fact that this is strict dancefloor stuff. next up, max essa delivers a stomping rendition of long time favourite, starlight. his cut stays true to the original, retaining vibe, funk and feeling, but giving it that subtle injection of house that is just made for peak time at the dance. if you like your disco live, the escort collective has a couple of uk dates penned in for march / april 2012, so keep em peeled!

if you have been following graeme clark in his solo disguise as the revenge or the stream of 6th borough project 12-inches leading up to this one, you should know what to expect here—deep, blissfully hypnotic sampledelia with track flows governed by the laws of extreme repetition. its a shame that trance means a particular subgenre of electronic music, because that term applies just as much to the effects of these tracks as anything tiësto has ever played.
given the space, clark and craig smith are able to utilize this formula over a broad musical spectrum, creating music in the full-fledged sense, one that traces a landscape of tempos, styles and emotions and a menagerie of resurrected sounds conjures up images of dusty record shops and tattered vinyl, musical spirits captured on wax. awesome!

south american label woods n bass unveils its new vinyl-only imprint, woods n bass limited, with wet feet by will azada and piltdown sound. the title track, wet feet, is a forward-looking slice of tribal minimalism that encapsulates the ethos of the label with its dubbed-out, winding hook, thoroughly drenched in dirt and brooding overtones. on the flip, piltdown sound goes solo with rbml, a detroit-esque piece that relentlessly works the floor with its twisted organ and chord stabs trading places for dominance. tying up the release, will azada amplifies the sleaze-factor with the driven bass and tweaked synths of slangin low. living up to its name, wet feet, is just the beginning for woods n bass and its new vinyl series, and promptly received enthusiastic support from influential global techno tastemakers raiz, seph, jeroen search, samuli kemppi, and detroit techno militia to name a few.

the slat blinds in berlins panorama bar are part of the vjs equipment, and when the mood is right (usually around sunday afternoon),he opens them up to allow slices of sunshine to penetrate the smoky club air.it doesnt happen all too often,remaining something special amongst hours of darkness.but as ruede played the first version of shades in his last p-bar set, it seemed to happen just for him, as if he had written this tracks distinct break especially for this moment:everyone was mesmerized. re.you & rampa with a rmx for shades are also no strangers to such euphoria, and as ruede recently lent them his voice,they return the favor by building a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the a2.then, on the b-side, ruedes fellow band members from the noblettes make an appearance.as with shades,the focal point is also the big break,only this one has nothing to do with techno - its more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.
