taken from the aptly titled sacrilege lp of remixes from 1997. here we have a 1-sided 12inch featuring carl craigs bladerunner mix. so hows it sound? well its one of those that never drops, instead building on a rapid fire set of hand-claps, some nice little filtered synth fills, a little bit of vocal. basically those elements twisted, turned and arranged in the way only carl craig can (or did in 97)

hum along is one of the earliest productions of mr. mwambe. he started the track in the beginning of 2004 and for the last 4 years it has always been a very important and personal part of his life. only brontosaurus intelligence & ca$h were able to get this masterwork for this lickyboom- boom-down house 12. to complete the commotion full time nice guy, father and electronic innovator move d from the beautiful city of heidelberg sat down to deliver a spontaneous disco version of the track – reanimating the fresh and impro vibe of late 90ies german disco / house productions. the b-side >greatest love< continues where artos mudhutma 12 ends, celebrating the unholy passion of deep housemusic. voila.. a limited number of covers will be hand-printed with another nice torso. as always.

timo jahns definition von elektronischer musik sollte man mit einem augezwinkern hören. >wubb die klick die< lebt durch witzige ideen, denn alle >plopp<-geräusche nebst hihat sind hand- bzw. mundgemacht und lassen den track durch das zusammenspiel der vocals, groovigen beats und des kranken breaks zum absoluten partykracher werden. dieser track sticht definitiv aus der masse heraus und erschafft auf 9volt eine weitere spannungsspitze! unterstützt wird timo von zwei in der tat nicht ganz unbekannten remixern. neben einem super dave shokh remix findet sich auch ein in gewohnt treibender manier dargebotene spitzen remix von der schmeisser feat. jonny & der tietz auf der ep, welcher die scheibe mit seiner shuffle-eskalation perfekt abrundet

back in march 07, drag city issued rtxs second ball busting album, under a title that we all really loved and you did too. but the man! the man came down on them, telling drag city that in a court of law the album with that title would be struck down and that they must cease and rethink. thusly armed, drag city went to rtx and told them that a rebirth was at hand. fortunately, they were up for the change - and ratx is the inevitable result! containing the exact same contents as its former self, ratx has the additional benefit of being released in a super limited vinyl edition.

two heavy bass loaded dancefloor smasher >> electro nu skull breaks mixture. the original utilizes the vocal hook >this is fucked up man!<, laced on top of crisp 4/4 electro beats with a booming kick and wide hand claps. the bass is bottom heavy, and the distorted leads scream at you, as this one lines up to pound through club speakers and into your eardrums.

already support by james holden, ripperton, anthony collins, sian. nhar has been releasing stuff since 2005 on labels like mobilee, plak and modelisme. with dont forget to lick, the frenchman has conjured up a real booty shaker from the depths of his hard drive for meerestief. summery drumming on the other hand by lucy, comes across tender and almost fragile. the artist hails from paris and released his formidable debut glass computer on rippertons perspective label. his contribution for meerestief is a fabulous track with dreamy pads and surreal sound, riding on a clear kick drum. it is a movie sound track and a small symphonie a the same time!

hes re licked soul of man, re mixed queen and re touched prince to name but a few, so what could the boy wonder a.skillz possibly put his hand to next i hear you ask? yes you guessed it, its none other than the original kings of pop the beatles!! strawberry jam forever is a catchy party starter like no other and has gained plays from pete tong, annie mac and sir krafty of kuts for that very reason. and if the kings werent enough hes only gone and remixed a reverend as well. soul legend al green gets the once over on with you, whilst collapsed lung booty eat my shorts completes a rather formidable package!

>chariots<, the simple debut of james priestley and dan berkson, is a luscious house treat. driving percussion and throbbing keys move towards a crescendo through airy synths while the classic piano melody comes in to send the dancefloor to a blissful climax. soul and melody with a tight little groove, everything we at simple love! acclaimed frankfurt duo motorcitysoul, who made their aus debut earlier this summer, turn their hand to the remix. rotating clicks and punches move towards an ever intensifying push, while melodic whispers gather around the central chord progression, combining to create a deep and dreamy finale.

again an unusual step from the craziest average joe we know.. this time tim turns his designer label into a non-design format by releasing a hand stamped whitelabel with 4 nameless and serious, straight to the point tracks. acid is where its at. gotta love it

introduced by james holden, lucy (curle rec) is a new italian talent based in paris. and he comes up here with a very strong release! on the a side, the amazing glass computer (co-prooduced with friends) is an odyssey into electronic music and catchy beat. 7 minutes of happiness and emotion for the crowd. after his wonderful last release on our label, masaya (perspectiv / num rec) makes the dub and he looks like a trip into a deep forest with his minimal tribal bassline, trought the tree at the night. simply wonderful. on the flip side the amsterdam based mark august (poker flat, connaisseur, curle, mezzotinto), is making one of the best remix for ages. with his unique touch mark takes us by the hand into his very personal universe…

luke viberts second album on planet mu brings together many strands of his work, drum and bass, trip-hop, breaks and acid. the album hangs together with the strands of acid, breakbeats, techno and disco at its heart, the reassuring hand of an old master triumphs again

another dynamic instalment from the nagano kitchen duo (jerome sydenham & hideo kobayashi). these tracks continue the ibadan legacy of pushing the boundaries. >destination nagano< is a rhythmic tech house journey with classic chicago and detroit overtones in true ibadan style. >head<, on the other hand, is a stripped down beefy club track with a big techno beat and classic chicago chords. destined for term use.

the long awaited new unit 4 release (on a highly limited amontillado pressing of 300 copies with hand printed sleeves). deep dark powerfull track with a unusual combination of a dusseldorfer (kraftwerk-ian) electronica loop and a massive techno-ish bassline and funny enough without any hi-hats which gives the track a strange tension. b-side is a stripped down version with a long intro and outro. the very power full bass and a catchy hook line (reminiscent of their body dub) makes this a monster track... check!

solo project from future force member tj gorton. catchy,infectious,electro disco flavored synth dance, pulsating bass , hand claps and a whirling build of climaxing synths to finish. b-side sports even more of a retro disco flavor

great debut by newcommer active sense aka valencia based raul remujo. incl remixes by jamie jones, hand on throat and casey hogan. supported by luciano, loco dice, alex smoke, steve lawler and laurent garnier

been impressed by his remix on wall of sound... i loved it. i also heard he won some remix competition. like a grammy, only not a grammy. the tracks he sent were amazing... but his hair, while being orange (no bonus) was not corn-rowed. while i argued vigorously that i had worked too long and hard building up turbo to see it go all >ginger<... von party defended the duke, saying it might show how open-minded we are. when i re-listened to the tracks i decided that it was well worth the risk. so.... what you now hold in your hand is the debut on turbo of duke dumont: the mysterious bad ass from the wrong-side of the tube, the hardboiled london underground pioneer who once had to eat a sampler to survive, the future of dance music, and the past of the future of dance music

der 2000 and one remix reduziert das original auf das wesentliche und lässt sich dabei zeit, weiß er doch, dass das was kommt eine kraft hat die den floor rockt. superflu haben unglaublich viele unterschiedliche dynamiken in den remix gepackt die alle hand in hand gehen. das arrangement ist weltklasse und trotz hohem abstraktheitsgrad rockt der track unglaublich, auf allen ebenen

professional user: miss kittin (udg bags work for me as hand-luggage. it resolves the problem of stolenrecord cases and missed connection flights stress when i used to check themin. of course it s heavier than allowed on board, so i declare my records as --music instruments--, like any other orchestra musician, and it s perfect.)great records trolley deluxe set spezial color edition ... uotside in black indie in cool orange ... looks great fits for 60x 12 inch vinys (trolley) and 40x 12inch vinyl slingbag

another smooth release by amplified orchestra which goes way beyond the hip disco edits we hear all the time. on this obscure chicago label (hand stamped and no further artist info) we get 3 tracks with the sublime moon voyage (based on an old cosmic disco-funk track, but completly rebuild), the incredible asteriod (reminiscent to early moodyman and rick wade. very good detroit house) and the disco-funk-soul stepper lets have a ball. nice one

dont worry, christophe dalla-ca aka kiko is not interested in a seventies disco revival, even if the tongue in cheek reference to john travolta in the title track of this ep might imply that. on the other hand, the work released by the man from grenoble for such renowned labels as ozone, hot banana, goodlife and turbo has consistently shown that kikos interpretation of techno from the 2000s also includes a conscious reworking of past dance floor orientated electronic music. in this sense, kiko has succeeded in making three stand alone, coherent interpretations of a mutual meltdown of new wave, disco and elektro, with the tracks on the >tragolta ep<. whether he is impressing with the best possible mix of ebm and dave clarkes red series (30.1) or enchanting us with the continuously jewel like, dazzling melancholic melodies of >electric burst< or >tragolta<– the fact remains true that he perfectly supplements this approach to the sound cosmos of datapunk

special limited edition 10 inch record from label heads the sound republic, on an ultra high quality pressing with full jackets and 2 super hot joints, making this a record for the collectors as well as the disc jockeys who have come to rely on tsr for slammin dancefloor material. a return to their roots in funk and jazz, the a side get loose (take a breath) hits with absolutely crushing beats, a running bassline, and a sax bit that has every partygoer running to the dj booth whenever the track gets played asking what in the good god they are hearing! flip the cute little guy over for funkyard junk, a tune that starts with a garbage can percussion jam that eventually works up in to some good old down home southern funk, complete with hand clappin, foot stompin hoots and hollers and yet another infectious guitar hook that can only be described as good times house music. these two funky cuts still have a fresh and modern sound while maintaining that good ole chicago vibe that sends the dancefloors in to a tizzy. receiving massive support from the heavy hitters of the underground, raoul belmans, dj mes, diz, justin long, dj heather, and bryan jones amongst others were caning the hell out of this at this years wmc. dont sleep on this extremely special limited edition pressing of the fifth spatulacity record, yet another quality minded release from some one of the most consistent names in house musics new school

the new half cousin single big chief comes with an exclusive remix by the earlies. this is the lead single form the album and sums up in four minutes what the band is all about. the single also comes with the first ever remix the earlies have put their official name to, and a electronic upbeat offering from the fantastic dextro. half cousin also deliver these songs to captivating effect live with acclaimed artists martin slattery and anthony genn (the hours), jamie morrison (the noisettes), jimmy hogarth, the earlies and fellow scot kt tunstall all lending a hand on stage in developing this fierce reputation

brand new - second on surprise - twelver from this international deejay / electrotech producer under his onderklank guise. the title track has the spirit of carl craig and motor city detroit written all over it. the first track on the flip reminds us of tracks by thomas schumacher mingled with old school flavours of newbeat and early trance. the twelve inch closes with a spicy dancefloor cut (the other tracks are also for that clubfloor as a matter of course) with a melody that could be produced by gregor tresher while on the other hand, the beats have a bit of radio slave ingredients.

model 500 and drexcia inspired electro

remix-package to one of the biggest wir hits. newcoming talent kab shows some severe skills with a tight remix that keeps minilogues hooklines in shape but introduces them to its unique world of magical flow while pulling off the impossible, he creates a masterbuilder being tense and tender at the same time. jichael mackson on the other hand constructs a relaxed groove rich in texture, pushing the sounds further and further until the final climax while tracing the original material rather emotionally then rationally. minilogue themselves round off the package with a beautifully dashed ambient version

joakim is back.this time tough, he surprises us with a small pop jewel! but lonely hearts is not a classic pop song, it is much more joakims interpretation of one. a catchy tune, which does not want to be one. an exciting contrast between catchiness and a bleeping onslaught.on lonely hearts, cheesy sounding strings really stand out over a stoic stomping drum beat, dark singing grates against beeping keyboard playing, in the chorus a wonderful melody has a comforting effect over the very sad lyrics.in addition to the album version and the radio edit, the lonely hearts maxi also features the loving hand remix by tim goldsworthy. the musician (lcd soundsystem) and label owner (dfa records) skillfully pulls lonely hearts to the left, brushing it into a dark club track. with the distorted slow motion vocals, the funky bass run and the demanding beats, it is suddenly very close to the sound that already characterized joakims club hits are you vegetarian and come into my kitchen. and you ll also fin a joakim dub of the track. this dub keep the pop side of the song with a more catchy approach for a more dancefloor version of the original and with always the weirdness you use to find now in the joakim production !supported by tim sweeney, prins thomas

brill melodic techhouse infected electro !!

more cloak and dagger cuts from the new school s favorite mystery label. all four cuts on this winter sampler freak and funk their way through firmly body-jacking beats, jazzy samples and stabs to get the heads noddin and booties shakin and of course that signature guess who? sound of instantly recognizable funkiness
