supported by luciano, douglas greed, gorge, the glitz, mihalis safras, kombinat100. spring has already arrived at his secret playground: the warm air is filled with cheerful laughter and bare feet are moving rhythmically in the green grass. mollono.bass reveals a very laid-back character but also a very independent and open-minded approach to electronic dance music on his debut album. the first track in the meadow represents not only a humorous hint on the best possible place to listen to this work but also creates kind of atmospheric foundation for the entire album in its light and fluffy manner. the lively hustle and bustle on the hidden playground happens in many different ways: sometimes it s the frisky bounce of hopping basslines and stimulating house rhythms, sometimes its hypnotic sound structures that take the listener on an adult adventure. but above all its the unmistakable sound of real instruments and their melodies which create that earthy, organic groove of mollono.bass, a groove that gives rise to mighty spring feelings.

al kent was once described as scotlands walter gibbons, and on >fantasy< he pays tribute to his hero with an alternative take on a track walter made his own. with beautiful rhodes piano, sweet strings and heavenly jazz guitar, file under >lush<. flip over for some disco madness… >check out the sounds of nyc< may once have been a loft classic, but in this incarnation may have proved too much for that particular musical journey. tough as old boots. wrapping up we have >gimme some loving< – built around a cool piano hook and an instantly recognisable voice and featuring some proper hands in the air string sections. million dollar disco is loved by dimitri from paris, pat les stache, solid state, cosmic boogie, greg wilson, peter adarkwah, the dead rose music company, horse meat disco, nik weston, chris harris and many many more..

this killer ep from samuel dan starts as it means to go on with the massive sample loops, and has been custom-made to keep those hands in the air. an infectious, bouncing bassline ebbs and flows through the track, while the tight percussion will keep those feet pounding the floor. octad and phiorio take the controls for the third track. their remix of wake up call is stripped down and funked up. like a prime larry levan cut, funk, disco and house collide but without the mix ever becoming cluttered. the elements are used sparingly and to devastating effect. last but not lease we get samuels original mix in which the brass instruments take centre stage, with trumpets heralding deep bass grooves. they are going to be rocking this one down in the treme. bring on the summer! to finish off this ep in style, heres the floor-filling back home. its immense builds and eminently catchy hooks are guaranteed to spread smiles across the dancefloor like a disease.

the much anticipated follow up to last years balearic opus >panorama suite< by max essa. >heartache (original 86 club mix)< - this funky early nineties inspired house groove seems to be channeling all the best bits of fpi project yet manages to still sound brand new and wholeheartedly relevant. this track is heading for the dancefloor - unashamedly uplifting and funky - a real breath of fresh air. sample free and featuring max on vocals. i challenge you to not move to this. >feel it in your body< is a more chuggy, dubby affair featuring a vocal chant not dissimilar to e-man grooving. funky guitars groove the track along until the synths lift it up to the next level. trancey balearic synth slo-mo goodness.

with no rest for the wicked, label exclusive artist ladzinski is back for 2011 with a solo ep jammed pack full of up front house tracks.just like that is boes most dance floor focused ep in a while with jacking 808 drum rhythms, soaring pads and plenty of hands in the air moments. all night is a true groove-a-thon that hardly lets the beat go during its nine-minute length. its a more conventional sound pushing towards tech house territory but the classic 808 drums and bouncy syncopated chords give it a fresh breath of chicago deepness..

australian newcomer delivers a bumper ep for londons 3rd strike. the lead track is a driving deep looped disco house in the vein of soundstream or the mole. gaining support from mark e and the revenge to name a few. lovin you keeps the pace high, again utilizing subtle disco samples with a rigid house backbone and hand in the air keys. hunee is on remix duties and keeps the quality as high as his acclaimed releases. merging a moody bass synth with jittering drums and stuttering keys.

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.

techy deepness from so inagawa, featuring yang h yang on >liquid<, with remixes by alex jones and paul bowen.

erdbeerschnitzel makes his debut on 4lux records! mr schnitzel is rapidly making name with his intense and funking house tracks that always seem to be looking for new directions. here he comes with deep slower paced electronical tracks combined with dusty house grooves. >suave< flows straight into the air. combining a fat and dirty infectious beat with crazy synth lines that reach and reach and develop in their own unusual way. the same goes for >360< and >ultimate margot< but in a more beat driven way. the sounds build and rarely get extinguished just to build nearly from scratch again. one for the real connaiseurs!

new zealands tim richards with a debut release for rekluse

released on the always reliable hit farm neon gold, which has given the world marina & the diamonds, ellie goulding, your twenties and penguin prison among others, starsmith is a super-hip young producer who has worked with ellie on her album, as well as remixing marina, passion pit, nerd and loads of others. its a scorching electro-tinged pop demon, glam without the cheese, and reminiscent of the kind of smashes that the french house lords of the mid 90s (like fred falke and alan braxe - more on him later...) were ruling dance music with. great sample from an old ritchie family (clip below...) disco stomper from the 80s which powers the whole thing with a undeniable hands-in-the-air vibe. a big autumn hit!

zurück zum skapunk: spaßguerilla-soundtrack mit viel horn, zorn und hirn.

the quality just keeps on coming with this the 19th ep in the volume series. for this release we have something of a nu funk dream team with the creative coming together of two of the scenes biggest players, ali b & nick thayer, what a collaboration! nick is no stranger to the label with a slew of monsters already on the label but this is the first time for air records and kiss fm legend ali b. and the pair do not disappoint.

the heat of summer into an urban canyons night of fresh air. in berlin. or manchester. maybe in budapest even. it is warm, but not that close and hot anymore. a soft wind blows through the leaves and ripples the surface of the small puddles the rain left on the streets. with relaxed enthusiasm a man walks up to his house where he will decant a well-tempered sangiovese while waiting for the woman with whom he will chat till dawn.
with three reworkings of one of their tracks from the full-length album >13<, the trio from manchester conjures such an atmosphere on their vinyl release on binemusic, inviting you to (day-)dream or relaxedly bob across the dancefloor. and maybe even bear the waiting time while stuck in traffic.
