hot on the heels of the fantastic guy j ‘geko’ bedrock keep up the pressure with a storming release from techno maestro christian smith. this techno tinged 2 tracker, will delight both house and techno heads alike as christian brings his trademark sound of days gone by, back up to date with fantastic results. with its beautiful pads rising over a hypnotic bassline and chunky percussion, ‘flyer talk’ is a driving melodic builder guaranteed to have the floor on fire. on the flipside we have ‘friendly skies’ which takes on a similar vibe with more of a hook. the big funky bassline is going to make it tough to choose between which one to play! – my advice: play them both!

crazy retrostyled electropop tracks... incl rmxs by adriano canzian, mount sims, the scandals... schwefelgelb is a hot band from the underground ready to spread their tunes not regarding any genre borders. too special to sign a label so that they just release on their own and keep on doing whatever they want! and that means to create a very fresh mixture of different styles like electro and punk! this very pretty designed 12inch seems to be exactly the desirable piece for the grown up wave heads, as well as for the new generation of young and punky club kids.

a third ep on trenton from theodor zox and his copenhagen grooves! >moodswinger< is a bit of a more house-y record but still with theodors recognizable touch, short sounds and shuffled beats. still theodor explores new corners of funkiness while making sure he gives you that bounce. its summer after all. on the >moodswinger< remix, reynolds re-interprets the track with different keys. as its his forte, reynold drops some cinematic shit in the middle before bringing back the funk hard. all that and he still manages to keep the track tight and solid. the 2 tracks on the inside are a bit more experimental and make that record a perfect tool for early, peak time and after hours sets. thanks for supporting us and keep it real

dj q is back after a four year break, and he delivers here perhaps some of his finest productions to date. dj q aka paul flynn, turned out some timeless music in the 90s for labels like filter, dance mania and glasgow underground, and was championed by artists such as carl craig and derrick carter. superclique is a refreshingly energetic deep house club track, with swinging beats and lush atmospherics, plus a great little vocal hook. blue chicago combines chi town rhythms and detroit musicality, with a heavy nod to the classic sounds of derrick may and carl craig, with enough wobbly minimalism to keep the, er, minimal massive happy.

uzuri is proud to be releasing this talent s debut ep. >hohol< is the finest example of slow, compressed house and techno variations . it s a deep, sprawling affair that takes in sumptuous chicago reductions and crawling detroit shuffles, hypnotic grooves with enough funk to keep you going - complete with crazy compression and filtering. man of the moment, lerosa, comes up trumps with his rather filthy remix

db aint confessing anything on this pilot episode of the new db edits series, but his edits still land on the 10 most wanted list! hunt em down, hes clever as a fox. jump out of the plane! not much is know about who did what, but the featured track, don armandos 2nd avenue rhumba band, deputy of love is a chicago mix show classic back in the days of wbmx! here we get a full extended mix, there is some 16th note repeat, delay effect and breakdowns. tops! on the flip, is an unknown disco track. db edits told us to keep diggin to find out what this is. drop us a line if you find the original artist and title. dont sleep on this one! limited quantites

the eagerly awaited new single from camdens finest captain black is finally here. arriving on hot new label bumpman (the hawley arms pub s label off-shoot), home also to fellow north london outfit the brute chorus, >>sister<< is sure to further cement captain blacks reputation at the front of londons burgeoning indie-folk scene. live sessions on life fm and a number 1 indie single in japan seems to indicate that britain might not be able to keep them secret for much longer.

hairy claw kicks off 2008 with new artists, a more consistent release schedule, a new a&r (alongside label man stevie kotey) in our man dean muhsin and some serious releases. first up comes from dan drastic. dan is a german producer and dj with impeccable taste. previous output for highgrade has been superb and he has some amazing stuff due to drop on moon harbour (where he takes care of promotions in fine style) so hairy claw have handpicked him for the first release of 2008. deep, groovy and with just the right amount of drive, >xibeca< is a mordern house cut of the highest order. supernature and tsuba artists bearweasel take the techier elements of dan’s original and twist them into a flowing tech-house cut too - so there’s something for the heavier crowds too. there are big things afoot with hairy claw, we’ll keep you posted

fresh from his recent 24/7 recording sessions comes this ultra powerful double sider destined to blow your headz and keep yer feet dancing on a never ending story. no need being a musicologist to realize where gigolo takes his major influences from sounding like a blatant contemporary response to disco don giorgio moroders classics with a deep cinematic emphasis as created by the synth lines. meanwhile klubhead takes where those ultra magnetic grooves which would make the reputation of the zanzibar such as underground solutions luv dancin or dee dee braves my my lover left in the beginning of the nineties.

canadian label hotbox digital brings us adam k and addys superb >sub-cultured<. this collaboration is one not to be missed, adam ks signature subby bass lines and minimal groove, cross addys exceptional technique and >sit-up and listen< attitude. this is certainly a tune to keep dancefloors heaving and bouncing throughout the night. on the flip, we have >whatever<, a solo effort from adam, a more twisted and less minimal record, making the perfect compliment to sub-cultured.

for this 3rd release, we give you the opportunity to grab 3 fantastic trax once again. first, video club lost time a pure cosmic italo disco gem, a track very very rare to find and sought after in its full instrumental version, still easy to drop in any dj set today. 2nd, automat droid an amazing dance electro breakbeat track done in 1978!!! obviously you wont find it anywhere else, available only on cosmic club. this has been a must for all the cbs & i f fans who really know their job and what they re talking about!! 3rd, decadance on & on (fears keep on) also in its full instrumental version, originally released on proto records (!), this is funny as this track is obvisouly so proto new wave/electro/cosmic/italo.

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.
