new talent from paris named paul ritch !! big four tracker.. check it !!

feel good (tv=off) sounds like an hommage for the 90s filtered house thing, as hes a true lover of the roule imprint, but its 2007 electronic tech house music. shinichi osawa from mondo grosso, tokyo, has made a special edit for the song (remember his edit for christopher just popper)

after his dessous debut >bona fide< in spring 2006 st. sebastian aka gamal sebastian kaba returns with a new two-tracker. on >genetics< the young talent from manchester perfectly manages to produce stripped down and dark techhouse tunes. both tracks spread a rather dark atmosphere with their vocal samples and an elaborate choice of sounds set in the right spots, but still manage to make the hips shake. the title track >genetics< convinces with a sparse but very effective build up with synthie stabs and a wafting bassline. just as well and cleverly arranged is >backwardsman< on the flipside. the mumbled vocal sample and some spooky laughter hide in the dark behind a punchy kick, a deep deep bassline and some strange chords which make this the perfect soundtrack for your techy ghost train

tom pooks is no newcomer in the techno music world, having released tracks on ovum, intec, serial or kompakt to name but a few, he really knows how to push a crowd to the limit. this time he just pushed the boundaries even further with the spacey track >moon h<. the package comes complete with mixes by jun-x (vitalics artist on citizen records), londons best house producer of next year tommy four seven and an instrumental tool even more scarrying by david duriez

""highgrade is back with another smash by our heroes phage & daniel dreier, a crew having an enormous flow at the moment, be it on the wheels of steel, as an explosive live act or on vinyl.they submitted us three more minimal trax out of their dark chambers, dry as hell, hypnotic and psychedelic, but with such an outburst of creativity and flexibility you just can`t categorize these trax. we are pretty sure this trax will validate some floors on their stableness; file under hypnphouse and keep the damn frequency high!.""

already played by magda, chloe, dinky, mike shannon, laurent garnier the beloved member of einmaleins, sweet n candy is back with number 017release of the established label. scrollmops the original track is charactrised by clickyness and simple but effective sounds.deep, dark n slow.no title (…!?#) is a more playfull track with quirckyness and trippy landscapes of noises developing all the way through its existence.it gives groove to the body based on nice textures.falko rmx is keeping it dark just like the originalkeeping the rhythm and the paths its works slow and trippy. falco brocksieper does a really nice interpretation of the original within the boundaries of the sounds available to him, completing this release in the best way

support by chloe & jennifer cardini !! actually, a tragic fact that the two label owners of sub static never enriched the own catalogue with a cooperation, but then again, there was no time, passion, and maybe also the right tracks hadn t come yet. now we found them, the ideal components, and thus this split- ep succeeds to involve both sides of the same medallion in an extremely animated conversation, which also the party benefits from. a real brocksieper starts off the record, with that slinky, permanent groove which everyone likes to ride on, as it s making you look well on the floors which signify the world. then the flipside laxly continues where just hopped, speak: a little bell rings, the beats pose, the shiny side always in the floodlight. however, the mood changes - functionality mutates to emotiveness, the music floats differently. this can only be m.i.a., who still disassembles sounds with never known precision, gets ideas in order, simply generates funk. so the tone is given for the next techno season, thanks for that

another made to play release already? what’s going on? well you know when we get the tracks they must go straight out, no three months promotion lead up here. so here it is another piece of vinyl that you will ether love or not. it’s stupid… just the way we like it. made to play @ panoramabar, berlin – monthly session starts 11th november with jesse rose, chris duckenfield and rob mello

jackin with jeff does just that with thick procession, tough beats, layered key stabs, spoken word samples peppered throughout and a thick rasta influenced bassline. its a driving dj sneak style number that has been finding its way in to the bags of all the heavy hitters across the globe. the flip side boasts twomixes of be free. this underground corker has the beats and chops that will definitely make ya shake and pop! sporting a tasteful sample from the classic jungle brothers house music all night long, this joint always gets the crowd in to the party mood. first mix is a quirky dirty version while the second one offers a dubbed out underground take

hypnotic and deep, but always funky, stuart li takes the listener on a journey back into time to early days as well as providing us some classical techno groove. instead of just utilising tools to create sounds, he is a good deal more telling us little, well selected stories.with his elaborate and sophisticated arrangements, his melodic loops and the seductive, pushing bassline, he delivers three different, sometimes minimal, but always melodic new pieces on this second vinyl on versatile records

the darker offshoot from the luxaflex label resurfaces after two successful releases. both cuts have received heavy rotation and positive feedback from many of todays key players. space explorers is the brand-new project from the serbian wiz kids marco nastic and marko milosavljevic! these men can easily be describes as two of the most promising producers of this very moment. after a fresh minimal cut on luxaflex, the space explorers return to its sub label and deliver a wicked bass-heavy minimal cut. expect to hear loads more from this new collab soon, cause just boys are just getting started !!

hot chip with this new 12 for the astralwerks imprint. over and over combines clapping beats and a soulful indie styled vocal with gritty guitars and a deep bassline for a grinding punk funk outing. on the flip, the masters of the current punk funk scene, dfa, rework just like we (breakdown) into a smooth, almost italo disco outing, with soaring synth lines and a muted kick the key ingredients alongside lilting guitar and the original vocal

another crater maker from the dmz cache, mala unleashes the up rolling classic left leg out. mercilessly driven by an insistent morse code arrangement and interlocking 4/4 polyrhythms this is an absolute winner from the man like mala. drawing influences from the rich soup of broken beat, garage and even funky house this one can slot in to any set with ease and drive a dance wild, just listen to any recent kode9 set, the proof is in the rewinds! the b side comes string with blue notez, a brooding slice of steppers pleasure with nuff dread bass, lonely sax licks and mutating snares for the twisup factor. you know you re going to love this one !! villalobos playlist !!

gut & abwechslungsreich !! auf 400 limitierte ep mit sinner dc, jacen solo, fzv, michael manning, yerk, jensen sportag and blodyn tatws

the synkope ep ushers in a new sound for mathias, one that is more full and less percussive than before yet also one that will not leave previous fans in the dark. taking his cue from his keen knowledge of the worlds dance floors, kaden translates this awareness straight on to vinyl without losing sight of todays complex sequences and sound structures. with the flood of faceless releases that threaten to sink even the most discerning record buyer theses days. there is a growing sense of urgency to make records that will remain classic and listenable even 10 years into the future. if you dont mind us saying we think this might just be one

scanning for virus starts with an hard and uplifting drumwork, analogue lines and a dominate bassline bring the track to the highest level within the first seconds….at the push of a button!scanning for virus is pure funk, pure house to describe it just in two word and for sure absolutly peak time guaranteed…and you think that s all there is? keep you temper….on the flip you will find another remix by no one else than super-mastermind and producer of the year claude van stroke, more reduced, more minimal but also to the point.no question, this release seems to be the best on made to play so far,stunning!

hot on the heels of the prins thomas mixes come these wigged out house versions from parisian franck roger, plus the original and legendary >la stache< mix. franck roger is carving out a great reputation on the house scene at the moment, his releases on his own real tone records have set the benchmark for other productions on sonar kollektiv/innervisions, seasons recordings and kenlou records, as well as remixes of blaze, roy ayers and jazztronic. franck opts for a sophisticated house rework of >moustache<, its techy moments peeking in and out of the rattling percussion, with oodles of funk layered on top. the >la stache< original mix from blackjoy is included on this release also, a huge underground cut with the nu-disco/balearic/cosmic crowd on its first release on bob sinclar s yellow label last year, and still sounding just as vital today

played by: ricardo villalobos, luciano, magda, dan curtin, zip,.. its been a great year soo far for the talented mr. haze, as he continues to push the boundries of electronic dance music. this record is a clear cut example of why things started to get real, real hot all of a sudden. with this special release, jay s first release on the label he started 7 years ago - jay translates what it is like to be >big pimping< in berlin, germany. jay moved to the electronic music mecca just 3 years ago and has steadily advanced through one of the most competitive market places with lightining speed. so in some sense this record >berlin pimping part2< is another fond dedication record to the city which provides soo much for jay. (the first was jay s record on german label musik krause >berlin pimpin/love affair<)

although he keeps his head just under the radar, jon cutler is not exactly against producing really big club tracks when he puts his mind to it. south slope sees him channel his energies into the kind of show stopping tracks that the likes of kerri chandler, dennis ferrer and quentin harris are famed for, but with a deft jazzy touch which they often ignore. the ibadan style groove is bedded in with a wonderful organ solo that serves to take the tune to the next level, while the dub mix drops the organ for a more shelter friendly tool

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. first time they produced the seminal everything is allright, one of the highlights from the audio soul projects album community this time they produced one of their futur classic, while david duriez was in chicago on the way to his detroit electronic music festival gig. produced in just one afternoon, the track is already acclaimed and hammered by all the big onesjosh wink plays it everywhere. mr.c has also been reported jumping in the booth to ask david what this track was.

souvenir records!!! lets just start this introduction with a quote: >we like the idea of seeing music as a souvenir, an impression you take from somewhere. something intimate to remember<. this is how the brothers schwarz aka tiefschwarz set the agenda for souvenir music, which they created with their french companion arthur velasquez and thus finally set up their own imprint after an eventful decade in the musicbiz. even just a quick listing of mighty deeds in the underground dance community would fill up page after page. if the story of king midas wasn t already centuries old, someone would have made it up now to describe the phenomenon of recent tiefschwarz remixes. who would serioulsy doubt that their golden touch also will rub on their own label and turn this start-up into another stellar success? cooked up in their berlin the first course >hey< by the artist ichundu is set to become the flavour of the month, even more so with extra delicious ingredients tiefschwarz added to their remix. yummy !! played by sven väth, sasse, chloe, tobi neumann, karotte...

after the first bars of freak everybody who has previously listened to electro,should have encountered that this piece of work is not made by amateurs in contrary! freak does not have to hide behind productions from famous producers like steve bug or steve angello: spinnin elements banned up-todate beats and basslines over a funky electro track,whose arrangement and sound fits just perfectly to a hot clubnight

on the back of massive summer anthems from dark mountain group and rodermaal, buzzing fly is back. ben watt’s a&r skills and ear for a tune brings us rocco – house music for the heads. originally handed to a few top tastemakers last christmas, the release of this undoubted deep and deadly floor-killer from lyon s rocco, was delayed six months after john digweed requested it as an exclusive for his recent best-selling >transitions< mix compilation. permission granted, its now back for its official full release on buzzin’ fly and, following his dastardly cut >blood< this summer, we ve added a brand new thrumming and funky tech-dub remix from francois dubois (a.k.a. lars sandberg a.k.a. funk d void) just for good measure

really impressive, strong techno music! this ep is a split in between three rising stars on the swedish techno scene. prataps contribution starts of with a wicked groove that just goes on and on. and before you know it, you are totally lost in a melody that is slowly building up. the flip from nihad tule and lasseman is on the very same tip. nihad, know from his release on hz trax will not let any body down! a really strong and groovy sound is coming your way and just keeps on building. hypnotic and very funky!

frankie comes back with 4 minimal funky house tracks with this typical >dry< style using just a few sounds elements ( cuts of voices and short sounds) and a fxs…as well inpredictable and groovy. ep already played by dan bell, troy pierce, john tejada, jeff samuel, todd sines,…specially the dbx-influenced tweaky noise stomper titled hunt (a1)
