hot on the heels of his fantastic debut album >life index<, maceo plex releases the superb >your style< single featuring an excellent maya jane coles remix. widely acclaimed and highly innovative maceo plexs album is being heralded as >the first great dance album of the year<. >your style< is proving to be the favourite track from the album, so crosstown recruited maya jane coles the hottest young producer around to do it justice.

luv jam - better known as andy cole - made his name through outings on we play house and lany recordings, and >mature oak< finds him in fine form, an epic, atmospheric track poised on a bed of analog synths and warm pads, driven by galloping drum mechanics that gradually give way to its climax, an irresistibly squelchy acid bassline that marks it as one of coles most memorable productions to date. on the flipside we get treated to cottams first ever remix. cottam has made an impeccable name for himself, with his signature colourful series of untitled 12s and a contribution to the story imprint. true to his roots, cottams re-rub of >mature oak< is a slo-mo, motorik chugger that makes excellent use of the originals acid line while taking the whole track a step further. its a proper heads down affair that begs for a soundsystem loud enough to do it justice. limited vinyl pressing of 444 copies – hand stamped and numbered. special artwork by pedro carvalho de almeida.

part 2 in the legends series from skint. feat some of the biggest names chemicals / sneak / justice / beastie boys...

vibrations 002 comes from lhas, aka jaime read, who is here to show all these new old-school house heads precisely where to step off. a longtime cohort of foolish felix, who was horribly ripped off by a chicago legend (just google it) and the man to go to when you want _that_ vintage synth sound spotted, jaime knocks out four tracks that arent retro – they are timeless. from the classic chi-jack of >learning to live< to the swirling syncopation of >call that jazz<, these four tracks eschew rigid programming and live, breathe and ooze musicality. no remixes, just 100% lhas.

light sounds dark combine forces with fellow marshmallows psychemagik on a ride to the other side and as one would expect from these two a variable treasure trove of a selection plucked from all corners of the known galaxy and far beyond.

mzo bullets track >casablanca< has become a sought after underground classic over the last 18 months, so when it landed here as part of our township funk compilation album we thought we would do it justice and give it a full vinyl release. as our friends hot city were jumping around to it when they heard it, we decided to let them loose on the remix. already picking up plays from benji b over at radio 1 plus dj support from the likes of diplo, kissy sellout, doorly and andy george.

repress - folk-jazz composer/arranger arthur verocai was born in rio de janeiro. he has created challenging arrangements and compositions for brazilian artists jorge ben, ivan lins, leny andrade and gal costa. in 1972 verocai recorded a self-titled solo lp. it is a stunningly innovative effort. it puts verocai into a rarified field with the heavy string oriented music of charles stepney, david axelrod and frank zappa. released in a period marked by the brazilian military government, the album fared poorly. following its re-issue in 2003 the album has become a highly influential oft sampled classic (see ludacris, mf doom and little brother). the performance of this seminal 1972 record in its entirety brought the capacity luckmann crowd to a stand still. according to verocai, >he had never played the record, alive or dead!< the music has been mixed by verocai himself in rio. history turned on its head and musical justice served.

randalls mac 2 recordings showcases another banging release with the return of fast moving breakthrough artist soul intent. having all ready featured on the label on the 17th release back in 2008 and on the recent justice league ep soul intent returns once again to show us how rolling drum n bass should be done. the a side >rebel music< punches through with razor sharp breaks that bring the track to some seriously sub low basslines. haunting vocals lead through the track introducing some seriously deep fx and strings that make this track one stone cold killer. the flip >cybergroove< makes for a more upbeat affair but certainly shows soul intents versatility as an artist. percussion lead breaks and some haunting strings cut into a bassline that punches its way throughout the track before cutting into a fx lead breakdown. dj support from : randall, ai, klute, doc scott, survival, fabio, crissy criss and eveson radio ? bbc 1xtra and kool fm

after a lengthy break from the electronic music world, genotype is back with an lp for exit records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias just jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as trouble on vinyl, renegade hardware and reinforced records, its no surprise that he has managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of jungle. many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. the dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for west indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.

goose hat sie schon immer gehabt, diese laute dance-music-with-rock-attitude, schon auf ihrem 2006er debütalbum bring it on. ihre bellenden synths, schreienden vocals und wuchtigen energie-levels sind längst zum festen bestandteil der justice/ed banger-szene geworden. auf >synrise< macht die band einen ausflug in die 70er- und 80er-jahre, in die zeiten von space disco wie automat und 80er-filmsoundtracks, mit musikalischen koordinaten wie philip glass, giorgio moroder und vangelis. das resultat ist mehr als nur die summer dieser teile: es ist ein album voller dance-tunes mit klaren pop-strukturen. das beginnt schon mit dem titeltrack >synrise<, einem jetstreaming-soundscape von moroder-artigen synth-arpeggios, die sich hochschrauben zu einem gastauftritt von peaches. >words< dagegen könnte problemlos als vintage chemical brothers track durchgehen, während die sich verlierenden sphären von in cars den einfluss von trance mit klaxons-style-vocals kombinieren.

here we have a double a-side 12-inch, with an intriguing new development of the secondo sound. still banging, still aimed at the club but with a sense of maturity and laid-backness, that the previous secondo material for dreck records might not have been centred around. the whole outlook has become more house orientated and we are very excited about this new mixture of the secondo splice-funk with the steadiness of early 90s house generating its own idiosyncratic sound. on the a-side, i think im gonna likeestablishes the housey mood of the 12straight off. a brief vocal sample is dotted over a relaxed rhythm until a break mid-track introduces the second half to its full extent and bloom. ædoktor panglosson the b-side continues with the mid-tempo flavour set out by the aside and is defined by a steady build up towards a disco sample beautifully placed towards the end of the track, where a heavy bass line cuts short the euphoria of disco strings. the sampling and references in both tracks have been pushed to the background and mentioning any of them would not do this exciting new material any justice. its all fresh!

crash boom bang! fucking new electrotrash label with the german indie punk ladies petula plansch and a electro remix by daniel dexter (acidkids / playtime / craft music / whirlpoolsex) mia nena punk in justice boys noize style, throw your lipglosses in the corner and break your puff! dont trust on dusted eggs, put down your dirty panties and shit on the wall! supported by play paul, malente, jackpot, mr. future, boo kings and markus lange who will deliver the forthcoming hot release!!!

as the third single released in anticipation of scott hansen’s long-awaited full-length as tycho, “coastal brake” may be the best yet—a sweet slice of dream-beat that glides over the ocean surface like a high-speed waverider. “coastal brake”’s vintage synthesizers set the pointillistic scene, blipping and popping around a near-balearic rhythm like melancholy drops in a river, rising and falling and building to a shimmering climax. it’s not quite dance music—more like tycho’s soft-focus take on the escapist beauty of house music. the single’s three remixes do the original ample justice. danish producer (and syntaks collaborator) manual takes “coastal brake” at half-time and shoots it full of feedback, bringing a scorched-earth weight to the proceedings, while hatchback’s “cosmic caviar dub version” turns down the contrast and places the song in a cave full of drugged-out pianos. lusine hacks up “coastal brake” and repurposes the bits for his own stutter-stepping, downbeat funk. listen closely, and you’ll hear shards of “coastal brake” sparkling in between the beats. limited edition (1000 copies) of tychos >coastal brake< on 180 gram vinyl including alternate artwork poster. tycho is the music project of san francisco artist and producer scott hansen. as tycho, hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. known in the design world as iso50, hansen is famed for his bucolic, sun-drenched design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output.

danish synth-rock band turboweekends first release in the uk is an atmospheric yet heartfelt cry of regret on the a-side and a jumpy celebration of the end of work obligations (with an ironic twist) on the b-side, featuring the royal company of bristols finest, joker, and indie prince russell lissack from bloc party.
- i am tipping them for very, very big things here in uk. the lead singers voice is amazing.(?)this is huge. -mista jam (live on bbc1 and 1 extra)
- natty danes turboweekends angsty single >trouble is< is like one republics >apologize< as seen through the bass lens of blank dogs (?) its an excursion into the dark crevices of your feelings, but dont even try and tell us youre not at least a little emo. ? the fader.com (julianne shepherd)
- wow. most remixes dont do justice to the original song, but this is from another world. this bass heavy remix is the reason i love british music. ? man movement.com (lsr)

after recent successes on his other label, donnacha costello returns to his look long imprint with the storming one sided monster that is ten thousand hours. to begin, an ominous, growling, analog siren calls out from costellos roland sh-101, alerting us that our presence is required on the dancefloor before rattling, shuffling hi-hats mark out the groove and we head out on an ecstatic 7 minute analogue journey through a universe inhabited by wispy shadows of s-express, 808 state, mathew jonson and costellos own classic colorseries sound. words dont do justice to this one. simply drop the needle on the record and escape to an alternate universe on a magic carpet of analog synths and drum machines. ten thousand hours appears as a very limited one sided vinyl edition and wont be re-pressed. dont sleep

rippertons perspectiv label with its 2nd split release giving new talents a stage. 1st split is a huge release with two sublime tracks by agnes and johnny white. not sure if this one tops it... but crowdpleaser and entlet deliver both two tracks that stand out of the pack!!. especially the b2 track by entlet needs some extra attention... a contemporary house track that has so much hidden power. phat old school bassline kills it everywhere.. and then the tracks continues to build and build.... like a modern dj pierre wildpitch affair! crowdpleaser delivers two solid tracks that went straight into the dj sets of many influential djs. highly effective and useful house tools (a description that actually doesnt do justice to these tracks which are much more then just tools!) ripperton proofs once again to have a great ear for new talents!!

the end of the world is near, only survivors in the city of the future where there is no trace of life, two brothers roam the apocalyptic climate. a war among justice and david guetta has lead to the annihilation of electronic music on earth two years ago ... desert in the city is a call to remind dancefloors of the planet that techno is still the source of the digital world.

alex ridha aka boys noize is, along peers erol alkan and justice, part of a new mongrel breed of techno / electronica artist with a maverick bent and solid vision, beaming a myriad of influences from the past through a prism to create something fresh, new and exciting. founding his own imprint boysnoize records (bnr) in 2005 he achieved to establish his very own sound. alex released the first boys noize album “oi oi oi” in 2007 on bnr which featured febrile club favourites like “& down and “lava lava” and also more soulful techno tracks like “shine shine” or what many regard as one of his finest works, his remix of feist’s “my moon, my man”. official remixes for the likes of depeche mode, snoop dogg, justice, late of the pier, his latest work for royksopp, highly regarded dj mix compilations (bugged out! / i love techno) as well as productions for black eyed peas and canadian genius gonzales proved how versatile he could be. now boys noize presents his second longplayer as a lim.ed on vinyl instead of following the commercial path after the unexpected success of “oi oi oi”, boys noize passed on any big name featuring, the great pop approach or feeding trends. keeping it real, “power” starts where “oi oi oi” has ended and shows the freshest of electronica and techno music.

sometimes a track is so hot it just has to come back around again. about ten years ago brett johnson and dave barker (stucco homes) wrote some unbelievably catching house tunes, one of them being temptation and lies. so it just seemed right to give this track yet another life. deadbeat and mike shannon dive deep into a stripped down techno groover, removing the constant use of the vocals and creating a rolling techno dub version. some seriously deep bass in the production that works the subs in all the right places. ernesto ferreyra and guillaume coutu dumont aka chic miniature give you a playful melodic version on the flip. full use of the original chord progressions, combined with the guys signature marimba/latin percussion leaving you with a lush, warm summer hit. then brett dives into the track again giving you the oohs and ahhs mix. a ten minutes work out with bjs patented groove focused on the vocal harmonies in the original. the result is a warped, spaced out, long player that is sure to twist a few heads. mental just about sums it up. of course we had to include the original masterpiece for those who didnt find it the first time round. a favorite of everyone involved on the remix project i think youll agree that the temptation and lies cynosure mixes do the original some justice.

support by soulwax, justice, digitalism, zombie nation, boys noize, daft punk....on the occasion of the international financial crisis the two guys from modeselektor, gernot bronsert and sebastian szary, decided to found their own label, monkeytown records, to create a platform for befriended artists. >anything pharell williams does, we can do better.< modeselektors buddy siriusmo personally invited himself to be the very first artist on monkeytown records and will be no. 001 of the still virginal label catalogue.

nice price deal !!! fenech-soler produce perfectly distilled post-millennial dancefloor pop. the a-side cut showcases the bands ear for an irresistible melody carried with thick synth sounds, ricochet guitars and economic beats. a chart and dancefloor hit-in-waiting, with its b-side airbrushed an undoubted late night menace of drilled dystopian tech-pop. fenech-soler deliver a deftly accomplished production that confounds their bedroom studio origins. their dexterous writing and musicianship resonates with the fine suburban pop of pet shop boys, the sparkling live capabilities of phoenix and friendly fires, and the dancefloor igniting electro breakdowns of vitalic, justice or the presets

limited vinyl edition of the black dog s new album on soma quality recordings. each of the 500 copies is hand numbered and screen printed by the artists. 3 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. the black dog are without a doubt one of the hardest working acts in electronic music. no sooner have they released one of 2008s best albums in >radio scarecrow< and the massive 12 inch >detroit vs. sheffield< which featured two remixes from detroit minimal grandmaster robert hood, they now prepare for their next album release. >further vexations< is a real successor to >radio scarecrow<. the thinking behind the predecessor is still very evident with even more bite, but theres something about the new album that lends itself to the dark club atmosphere. perhaps the recent bout of constant gigging has had its effect on the act because this one is going to be tearing up floors around the world on its release. >further vexations< might have taken half the time to create but still manages to maintain the same degree of meticulous detail and attention as its predecessor, and is a complete package of tracks demanding to be listened to from start to finish. >further vexations< looks to rouse the sort of political attitudes that have been sorely missing from electronic music since raves backlash against the criminal justice act in the 90s.

supported by: timo maas, locodice, ripperton, nic fanciulli, solomun, audiofly, brothers vibe, laurent garnier, quentin harris, livio & roby, stimming, masomenos, justin long, jim masters, thomas schumacher, trickski, bushwacka!, catz n dogz, hernan cattaneo, will saul, danny tenaglia, simon baker, rocky, yousef, len faki, meat, spencer parker, alex flitsch, anthony collins, gorge,.. detroits kris wadsworth is a name that has spread very quickly amongst the housemusic community via his releases on morris audio, adult only and hypercolour, yetits >mainline< for the latter imprint which will cement his reputation as a brilliant producer. slow building, simplistic and devastatingly effective, >mainline< is one of the mostdistinctive house tracks ever made. featuring just a handful of percussion sounds, anamazing, spine tingling vocal that words do no justice to, this is a really special track. even at 10 minutes 40 seconds, the track is so captivating it feels like a minute, urgingrepeated listens

quite possibly one of the best space disco record ... mere words do not do this one justice so im not even going to try. check the soundclip and dont sleep, this is a genuine future classic

krazy bladhead remixed the noisy duo ddamage, the funky duo outlines and met the brooklyn rapper tes, signed on lex/warp. tes featuring on >crazy moth3f2ck8z<, extract of krazy bladhead?s second ep >dry guillotine<, comfirmed ed banger?s hip hop turning point. just like sebastian, justice or dj mehdi, krazy baldhead became one of the mainstays of the label. he obviously was part of the >ed rec vol. ii< adventure, with his freezing >strings of death<, and we saw him again on the last compilation of the label, >ed rec vol. iii< with the spaced out >no cow, no pow<.

big with: james huxley, norihiro kawai, ian pooley, james talk, andy baxter, the fix, kabuto & koji,.. introducing a new member to the get physical family: bristol based bronnt industies kapital. the seasoned and talented guy bartell has been making music for years. in fact he has two previously released artist albums under his belt. hard for justice, is an album filled with euphoric chords, complex melodies and resonant beats all connecting somewhere at the cross roads of kraftwerk and joy division. this single is all about expanding bronnts club land audience. how better to do that than have >objects & purpose<, the first single from bronnts debut album on get physical, remixed by booka shade vs. m.a.n.d.y. and lopazz.up first is m.a.n.d.y. vs. booka shade, both of whom need little to no introduction, but we will give them one anyway.

wdywsw is a slice of high energy powerpop, with affecting agitprop lyrics asking one of the most relevant questions of our troubled times. parisian genius rob totally flips the script by translating the song into the sad, plaintive language of late night soul searching. and thanks to pacifics elegant pop version, the sun is beaming from sweden. poney poneys first album is being recorded right now, with xavier de rosnay (of the justice fame) still rolling for the band. beware.

dubstep from the darkside. these 2 producers have been pulling out all the stops for this latest offering on base.corrupt. d-formeds track sulphuric acid is one of the most incredible dubstep tracks to hit wax. with a nod to the old skool this tracks delivers some of the most impressive programming & production on base.corrupt to date.

big with laurent garnier, zander vt, martin eyerer, sasse, dirt crew, dave dk, till von sein

united by a simple question as what is electro?, the two young english producers of joe and will ask? have spent the last two years creating dirty, cutting edge productions and taking over the london club scene. with an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, theyve won over fans from the band / indie scene, as well as diehard clubbers. they inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to justice, soulwax, dim and popof. after several eps, acclaimed by the likes of brodinski kris menace, vicarious bliss, casper c and autokratz to name a few, here comes their first release on kitsuné. claymore, delivers a tensed and breathtaking swoop with obsessive rhythms, while take me away with its strong rock energy and vocal hook, will set all the dancefloors on fire
