122 bpm is the story of how a father and his son changed chicagos dance music scene in the 1980s and went on to take the world by storm, leaving an impression that will last forever with just a couple of 12 inch releases the world would soon know as house music. nemiah mitchell jr. and vince lawrence couldnt have known what their contribution to house music would become. their story provides the missing chicago link between soul, disco, new wave and then house, between the radio and club djs and their audience, between the old generation and the new generation. this is the story of the first house records ever made - long before trax or dj international were even dreamt of. the compilation includes numerous unreleased tracks and beyond hard to find house tracks made in chicago in the early to late eighties from the catalogues of mitchbal records and chicago connection records

roule juchhe! the a-side of editainments cutting-edge duo det & ari is not only a tribute to the mysterious hungarian football genius, it also hails the compressed and chubby sound of french filters and parisian playboys. jump to it! butt you on the other side keeps its goal clear and tidy with a hard core marathon boogie beat that just builds and build and.. nobody else butt you! no pain, no tain!

its impossible to sum up a career of dj sneak in few words, so well try with just couple of terms that might serve as a brief introduction to the world of the one of the scenes most vibrant djs and producers: in 1992 dj sneak began recording music. he released some of house music defining tracks on defiant, henry street music, relief, cajual, 83 west, downtown 161, strictly rhythm, classic (...) to name a few. 20 years later he is still one of hardest working producers around, one of the most in demand djs, and as always a full time house gangster. this summer he is responsible for a hard-hitting 4 track – ep which will be his debut on desolat. enjoy!

adriatique is back with their second release on diynamic. again the two talented producers from switzerland created a really impressive ep that seems to fit just perfect for the upcoming summer! the opening track,deeper love, really sets the direction of the whole ep and will make you fall in love with it! a really nice and warm synthesizer combined with that catchy deeper love vocal and a funky picked guitar makes this tune unique. the second track by your side first of all persuades with that coltish sequenzer baseline. after the first break the tune unfolds its whole power. its again the nice combination of a deep, down pitched vocal, funky bended chords and a great synthie line that works just excellent together. a great one for the dancefloor! with motions, the third and title track of the new ep, adriatique deliver another harmonic tune that goes under the skin. its the slowest track on the ep. massive bass tones, groovy shuffled hihats and a deep, repetetive vocal loop result in a wonderful, warm track. the fourth and last track body moving brings the ep to an good end. with a nice vocoder voice the tune gets a touch of the 80s sound. and again a bouncy baseline delivers this special groove and guarantees to shake the floor.

mimique presents their no. 7. the new vinyl contains 2 exotic tracks produced by sebastian phillip and moritz ochsenbauer, both part of the well known rabauken-crew. patrick kunkel (cocoon, weplayminimal) and david jach (keno records, mangue) gave their own touch into the remixes and not just that makes this release a dancefloorfiller.

with the first single release of beijing rock, paul brcic (paul brtschitsch) brings a driving yet emotional production into the world of electronic sounds. an unmistakable, pulsating beat reminiscent of detroit-techno, smooth percussion, and a catchy bass line make up the songs foundation, immediately casting a bewitching spell and leaving no room for detours. carefully arranged samples from the 40s mould the centrepiece of the club bangers and move in perfect harmony with the full synth and fx sounds. without a doubt, paul brcic sets off a multifaceted sound explosion with a first look at the album beijing rock, scheduled for release in autumn 2012, always keeping one eye on production-technical details and the other on organic sound. beijing rock immediately invades the senses from the first measure, taking you along a journey outside of the clubs of this world and catapulting you just as quickly back to the sweat-inducing, wild nights. absolutely magnificent - paul brcic in his purest form. the b-side acid & camambert clatters as if on rails through the fields of sound and sets off one adrenaline rush after another with its clear basslines and consistently rising networks of beats. exquisite superstructures and effect dramaturgy breathe life into acid & camambert with an unbelievable energy and nearly acidic characteristics.

after firmly establishing their nu funk steez in the digital realm with countless releases, london label boogie boutique reached into the glamorous world of vinyl in fine style just before christmas with the double 12 inch drop a year on wax. they elect to continue their twelve inch shaped adventures with a label regular at the helm in the shape of funk ferret. the new zealander has featured on many a boogie boutique release, as well as other nu funk labels such as booty pirates and ghetto funk, so keen observers of the scene will know what to expect. >pushin forward< features the mic spitting skills of imagine this, whose mr lif style delivery is the perfect foil for a trademark mid tempo bass heavy bump from the ferret. boogie boutique have assembled a fine cast of remix talent too, with big beat veteran cut la roc dropping a fine sample heavy revision that allows the vox to shine. fellow bb artist and montreal dweller nick fonkyson adds some crunchy riffage to the mix, whilst the funk ferrets regrooved sound system partner dj alias concentrates on teasing out some bassline deviancy with some help from benson.

ladies and gentleman: der dritte raum is back - and this time, its not only with new sounds in well known krüger style, but also with a new label platform: der dritte raum records! fresh and dreamy, thats the sound of the first release, with four tracks full of groove, warmth and the distinctive der dritte raum-funk on board. on all tracks of this release andreas krüger proves he has a firm hold on his analogue machinery - as always - but also shows his connection to contemporary machine music as well as krautrock and psychedelic sounds. inspired by his band project von trips, numerous analogue recordings entered the new material. wre ready to take on summer with this first release on our new label: warm layers and playful details skillfully surround the swinging grooves - you can almost feel the soft breeze of a beautiful summer night touch your skin. just wonderful.

next michel cleis masterpiece , this time on dj kozes pampa records... >mir a nero< begins with a steady, upbeat kick underlying a simple piano arpeggio - like if philip glass make dance music - but then some accents of vibrant hand percussion loosen up the vibe, soon progressing into rhythmic layers that cause the energy to swell. by the 4-minute mark, a subtle, buzzing synth permeates the background, contrasting the tracks overall organic feel, leading into the playful piano chords and colombian vocal hook. simply put, this is latin house with that anomalous pampa records swagger, drenched with flavor like sangria-soaked mango. flip that baby over and you get >amaranthus<, named after the famed flower that represents immortality. this piece stands as a color-negative of >mir a nero<, an unwavering stomp with just shadows of the piano sample heard earlier. freeze-dried rather than sun-ripened, >amaranthus< is a dubby, more technofied counterpart to the a-side, crafted for deeper and darker moments on the dancefloor.

vinyl only release !!! >> come on, be honest. you also have been waiting for this. for more than seven years now, the 27-year-old frankfurter chris tietjen stands, like hardly any other dj, with his cocoon mix compilations for the sound of this label. apart from sven väth, maybe.. so, it was really time for tietjen to carve his music-aesthetical biases finally into vinyl, because for the value-oriented and highly dedicated dj, its a matter of honour to release his tracks in the traditional ep format only.

viennas disko404 organisation are launching their very own label with a split ep by sun people and franjazzco. while the latter is one of the most passionate players in viennas underground music scene, sun people aka simon/off has already stirred international attention with releases on renowned labels such as immerse records or phuture shock musik. for this release franjazzco combined his enthusiasm for jazz, soul and disco with a weighty footwork / juke kit, resulting in three deadly 160bpm anthems.
on the flipside sun people deployed a more uk-influenced style with references to 90s jungle and uk garage … imagine tek9 meets duncan powell meets dj spinn.
the ep is already receiving support from dj rashad, distal, dj clent, rp boo, soulphiction and others, and is just the first of many floor-dominator releases lined up by disko404. super-limited run of 250 copies only.

after john coltrane and cannonball adderly left the quintet, miles davis was forced to search for new qualified musicians. he found them in hank mobley, wynton kelly, jimmy cobb and paul chambers. in 1961, just two years after recording kind of blue, miles and his new line up started recording energetically and finished someday my prince will come after only three days.
this album is a cross-over from kind of blue (movlp019), which is known for the typical miles davis-tunes, to traditional pop-standards such as the eponymous title track from >snow white and the seven dwarfs<.
music on vinyl turned this classic album, including glaring solos from john coltrane (joining miles on two tracks on this album) and hank mobley, into a true gem! this record is re-mastered on 180 grams audiophile vinyl.

the abstract acid series continues its exploration into the depths of acid with a relentless 303 assault from the yorkshire based machine operator, mantra. four rugged tracks of distorted, crackling beats and low slung bass lines that are just crying out to be ripped through the speakers of a dark, filthy warehouse. as usual, pressed with a fine cover artwork from andrew ingram and limited to 300 copies

when discussing producers with consistently good outputs, few compare with jan driver. just pulled out his debutalbum amatilda last year, jan driver again dished out an extra tasty and promising morsel: this one-shot named peaker comes with a gigantic brightness in sound and is not less than a slammy hand-clapping celebratory basher. the and heavy subbasses are literally all over the place. jan driver signatures for sure! it has the exact fair amount of tension a track needs to sound excited and to infect your eardrum. on the flip side, action flowers rework pad the track with a golden summerdress, adding a magnificent arpeggio sequence so perfectly complementary to the original sound, its shimmering all the way to the solar system.peaker is proven to be one of our favourite summer releases in 2012 thus far, with its take on a slower beat and more of a late night come-down vibe apparent. you know that feeling when you hear that perfect song for the first time? well, it just happened. twice. weve got goosebumps. were feverish. were sweaty.time for the summer to come. now we impatiently wait. were just a little excited, you know?

just wonderfull! supported by mother nature, love and life.

when it comes to and strikes you, it works. this is the only thing that rules only300 familys sound, an edm label born in milan in the end of 2011. tech house with no strings attached is the reference point to start from and experiment with, together with the diverse influences of a genre in progress. our musical research - coming from only300 (milan) staff vision - goes beyond ideological bounds between means of production: no matter if its digital or analogue, the point is the emotion behind the sound, even if it comes to your legs, heart or brain. o300f sees flying high records - not just dance floor/club/listening oriented - and it thinks that labels are just gilded cages.

summer edit featuring a special track for free parties, plus includes an uncommon track with overdrive percusions. brandcash has a real addiction for sophisticated synths, timetothink (purpose mix) seeks to go as far as it can bewith such sounds in a techno way, pushing the limit ... just before the core music.
whereas the planck constant mix is kicking a hypnotically lead-sound, turning detroit influenced at some moments. jayg05 ends with a very loud side b, focusing on 2 basic elements: kick and percussion. drummer 404 on side b features a real massive kick and saturating percussion. a sound you havent heard in a long time.

sometimes club music doesnt need to be too clever. sometimes all you need is an insistent groove and a hook. allow nuance, subtlety or layers upon layers of carefully sculpted found sounds, sometimes the drive to dance to a piece of music overtakes the rational over thinking and just inspires movement. that is precisely what this trio of original productions from 19 year old brummy, wattville aka matthew evans, does incredibly well to inaugurate sonic router records debut vinyl release.

big techno track from skatebard just in time for summer + a exclusive 12inch mix by the knights of jumungus (mungolian jet set)

originally released on bushwacka!s olmeto records imprint in june 2011, west side became an instant anthem last summer. inspired by the hedonistic euphoria of ibiza, the original track took the shape of a massive dancefloor weapon with its memorable chord progression and high-impact bass. now, just in time for this summer season, tronic have licensed west side for a special remix package from christian smith & wehbba and bushwacka!s new just be pseudonym.

a proven forward thinker, constantly developing and never standing still, the architect of an ever evolving sound by keeping one step ahead of the rest, fergie has never forgotten though that it is still just a rave. a place where people are trying to escape the realities of urban life each and every weekend, and is where he hopes to catch up with you very soon ...

unusually for a record (for me,at least), constants collects tracks written in four very different moments in time: some are recent - so recent ive only had the opportunity to play them out just a handful of times - while others are over one year old. i really wish the story behind this ep would be a bit more interesting so this text could completely blow your mind but im afraid there were no dragons, no sex, no drugs and definitely no rock n roll involved. all four were mostly produced by me while sipping coffee and wearing boxer shorts in front of a computer. i could somehow try to describe the music on here but it would probably take less for you to give it a listen. however, if you happen to be one of the humans that prefer reading about music. anyway, im really happy to see these finally out, especially on a label i have always looked up to like vakant. i really used to think smoke, kaden and ozer were aliens at some hopefully you will enjoy this music as much as i loved writing and playing it out.

just three months after the dropping of the 100percent analog tracks roland rat / brain storm (bnr075) we proudly presents two idiosyncratically interpretations by 2 legends in electronic music roland rat got reworked by techno pioneer and our hero lfo (warp records), who sampled the rat and moduled it to death. the second remix comes from >the baron of techno< dave clarke together with mr jones, who turned >brain storm< into a straight and dark pumpin monster. enjoy!

since its launch at the end of last year, bristols elastic dreams has been making a name for itself with its own take on the underground sound of house, techno & electronica. at the heart of that success has been the music of label boss a sagittariun, whose previous singles the circle stops somewhere & carina have received critical acclaim and support from key djs such as francois k, ripperton, huxley & lawrence to name just a few. now the elusive head honcho is back with a new ep, born under 22 stars featuring 3 new cuts.

slapfunk is back with 350 copies of solid black marbled vinyl with 6 straight up grooves on it. anil aras and larry de kat are members of the slapfunk family but they also run their own parties called grooveroots. the sound that you hear on this ep is exactly the sound you can expect at their events. just oldskool bangin and freaky grooves

the liquideep duo is made up of singer/songwriter/producer ziyon and dj producer ryzor, and they hooked up in 2007 over a mutual love of hook laden, melodically rich, deep house music. just two years after their formation they caught the attention of the entire nation with the track >fairytale<, which got playlisted on every major station in sa, played on any dancefloor worth its salt and received a sama nomination for song of the year. more recently it won a channel o music video award for most gifted dance video .

98 releases strong and showing no signs of slowing when it comes to unearthing fresh talent and delivering high quality house music, this time crosstown rebels might just have discovered the new lady of house in francesca lombardo, judging by her exquisite debut - changes ep.

being the hopeless romantics we are here at circus company, when we fall for an artist we tend to do it head over heels. you may have witnessed this in the past with some of our dearest protégés, from dave aju to nicolas jaar. now we are embarking on the same kind of whirlwind affair with franck roger, the glow only just retreating from our cheeks after he won our hearts with the i take you up ep. like a well-seasoned casanova, franck has found the perfect way to follow up that first date with an even deeper reflection of himself as an artist, leaving us flustered and quite simply stunned by his charm.

our little dutch sun god onno knows best how to make the kids shine, and as expected, hes put together a breakwater just in time for beach season: whatever makes you happy glides on on the crest of the a1 groove with a heavy-duty surfboard. its laconic vocal work and dynamic drum rolls are echoed in the remix by nicola jah at coordinates b2. this italian producer dives into stiller waters, which of course run deep down into the vibrant ocean of sound. for the b1 onno provides similarly strong dancing material, shooting pool on the sundeck of his boat and knocking “8ball” into the hole of victory. finally, magit cacoon, our latest roster addition and the first woman on deck of the uy vessel, cruises via the digital route for her debut, an utterly deep remix of whatever makes you happy with bass that sets uy061s sails toward a blissful ending to the voyage

summer is here people and ovum recordings are about to kick start the season with yet another label debut from dirty channels & bugsy. and this time it already comes recommended. techno takes a back seat as the label continue their stunning run of house releases with alone. label chief josh wink had asked house don, dave pezzner if he had anything in the locker for ovum. having just completed his own rework of alone, he sent it across and within minutes the ovum crew had fallen for its charms. josh actually tweaked the original pezzner remix for his own sets and before long has snapped up the whole release for ovum. dirty channels team up with longtime friend bugsy on the deliciously smooth alone. with their warm bassline, velvety synth and the sultry vocals of amina, the trio have delivered the perfect summer soundtrack. with a brace of mixes from wink backed with a reworked and refreshed double from pezzner, ovum are ready to turn up the heat. enjoy!

esperanzas 25th release comes from labels boss kasper. been this his third solo release on the label and the second of his dope beats series, on the a side we have the art of rebellion, a deep burner with some disco infused sounds all over the place. the track builds up around a heavy bass sample filtered in and out from start to beginning. b side, the dreamer, is just yet another example of kaspers love for the classic sounds. this time teaming up with vitorias best kept secrets, mario castillo, also known as kastil for his releases on soul notes, outernational and seven music, they deliver a true tribute to chicagos house sound from the 80s. 707, juno and what more!

ok, we know what youre problem thinking…not another marvin edit! but hold your thoughts, this is something extraordinary and one of the best arranged and produced (not edited) tracks weve ever put out on gamm (no joke). with extra added keys and various production elements this is a 10 min and 52 seconds long boogie monster that will take you on an emotional ride youll never forget. yes, its that hot! but the flip isnt bad either with the revivra crew going uptempo with a super rework or remix (your choice) of crown heights affairs all-time ballroom classic. just like with the marvin track theyve turned the track inside out to an almost 10 min long disco cavalcade. the weekend starts and ends with this fantastic ep
