c mon get up! get up! its sunday and time to go to church! gents hold on to your bibles, ladies hold on to your hats & fans as dj drop this crazy sunday evening mix on the congregation. sean mccabe from the blak beat niks puts the feet in stomp with this track. just listen to the thick, pounding kick of the beat! soulful guitar riffs and the base organ that roll in tandem with the guitar taking the energy level pass infinity. another organ wheezes, whines, shakes and wiggles against the groove, while the strings carry the original melody. the modulations are too intense and will drive any dance floor crazy and have them begging for more.

bbe records have teamed up with dj/producer mr thing, to dig deep into his extensive collection to compile a series of albums of rare and sought after breaks. this series reflects brilliantly on his dedication to digging for those untouched and unrivalled samples and breaks as you hear him use in his dj sets. as a dj, mr thing never fails to engage the crowd with his winning combination of hip hop and funk breaks spiced up with his legendary mixing and scratching skills. the first installment in the five part strange breaks & things series contains superb songs, some you ve probably never heard of, some which may make you go: i recognize this sample! because it was once used as the backdrop for a classic hip hop track. if you liked the legendary strange games compilation series on bbe compiled by the likes of kenny dope & dj spinna, you ll love strange breaks & things.

limited vinyl only release from an anonymous producer who has released on some of the finest underground labels in the uk and beyond. the moodymanc ep makes a (very) knowing tribute to the detroit legend kenny dixon jr. the music is superb deep, jazzy house, inspired as much by the city of manchester and the likes of electrik chair and mr. scruff as much as it by kenny, theo and friends. in fact it has already been played by mr. scruff and the unabombers! no doubt when the vinyl hits the shelves it will no doubt be getting plays from loads more of the cream of underground djs

re released classic strictly rhythm release by the wonderful barbara tucker produced by master at work little louie vega feat india, michael watford, biron stingily, kenny bobien and many more on backing vocals must have

brendon moeller comes out from behind his beat pharmacy moniker to deliver his most upfront tracks yet. the jazz space ep is the first of three 4 tracker eps which will be released by third ear during 2007 as vinyl 12s, 4-track download eps, and to wrap the project up, as a cd comprising the 12 tracks. this music can best be described as tripped-out, post-minimal techno. beautifully produced and superbly mastered by stefan betke @ scape mastering, already being played by ricardo villalobos, craig richards, kenny hawkes, andrew weatherall, luke slater, derrick may, francois k, steve bug, luciano, timmy regisford, jimpster

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

classic re-issue from 1995 by carl craig with amazing future detroit music and a nice kenny larkin remix

the classic song, >miranda< which hasn t been available on wax in over 10 years, finally resurfaces with new mastering and a new package. this song was originally released as >untitled< from the first convextion release in history (matrix 1) the song was featured on a dozen compilations championed by derrick may, juan atkins, underground resistance, felix da housecat and many others. one of the most sought after and beautifully composed works to come out of detroit in the 90s. played by everyone across the globe, luminaries such as jeff mills, laurent garnier, kenny larkin, carl craig, chain reaction crew, dj rolando, swayzak, mad mike banks, james pennington, felix and countless others… if you are a fan of basic channel or carl craig this release is one of the most important pieces to the puzzle that is, detroit techno. one of the most sensational releases in detroit history, a masterpiece. convextion s releases have been among the deepest, hypnotic, soulful, mysterious, epic and lastly, most sought after releases in detroit…. brand new remixes by detroit s own deepchord, psykofuk & echospace (deep chord & soultek)

percussion driven funked up deep house grooves with female vocals and a jazzy piano line includes mixes by matthew bandy and kenny knight not to be missed

kenny dope breathes a new breath of life into todd terrys classic. kenny totally reworks the beats to make this a afro tinged houser primed for those funky/soulful floors. it also includes the original mix. you gotta love that sample

the fourth release on anfnotor features yet more top-drawer electronic emissions from cledus snow and aleksandr jurczyk two individuals based in glasgow. their sound is of late nights in clubs and early mornings under the sky with the party scene of glasgow evident in various distinct ways. cledus snow is the latest project from callum campbell, who has risen from the sound of the late 80s and early 90s heavily influenced by machines such as the dx7, and musically by the tones and textures produced by detroit, eindhoven and london. since moving back to glasgow aleksandr has been involved in new musical projects and has started to carve a niche with his unique electronic sound. his latest offering sees him assault the dancefloor with an italo bassline fuelled late night thumper. so far this 12 has received praise from mark bell aka lfo, erwin van moll aka max 404, $tinkworx, kenny larkin and kurt baggaley aka scape one

killahurtz is made up of mick park of tilt fame and leigh kenny aka kenny shifter. here with maria nayler they deliver the totally summer sounding 21st century lover. the track itself sounds on paper to be crazy. electro basslines and grooves meets housey synths meets strummy acoustic guitars. however, thrown in marias voice to the mix and a hooky vocal you have all the makings of an ibiza summer smash

dj mehdi is the french equivalent of dj premier or pharrell and unleashes a hybrid electro hip pop affair with the vocal talents of chromeo the montreal version of this definitely has a neptunes feel but its all about kenny dopes mixes on this platter kenny drops two dope house mixes the first a beefy house working that works the melody and synth hook nicely giving it a dark afro feel kennys old school mix is a wicked hip house throwback that goes off

tribal / progressive incl jamie & kenny d remix ! filtered drums / support by victor calderone, danny tenaglia !

hailed as the the greatest high sschool band of all time the kashmeres get the update treatment here from present masters kenny dope and todd terry stevie wonders anthemic i wish gets turned into a brass booty shaker by kashmere with a little help from todd terry whilst kennys update sees the band coveting the deodato early 70s brazillian jazz funk standard super strut

two fresh drivin techhouse coctails !! > jeff bennett started creating music in 1994 and got hooked on it directly, but it took until 1998 before his first single was to come out on his own label maskros music. since that single he has released over 30 singles on labels like poker flat, episode, treibstoff, intristc design, konvex konkav, jamayka, morris audio, regular etc. his earliest influences came from detroit people like derrick may, juan atkins & kevin saunderson, but also from richie hawtin s label plus 8 and the artist there like speedy j, kenny larkin etc. europe also had a big impact on him

slamming 3 track ep with old skool infected detroit flavour. the spirt from the early days is still alive (think kenny larkin, juan atkins, carl craig...)

dick magik johnson has a very busy 2005, what with his debut album >cardboard journey< on nrk as well as releases and remixes for blockhead recordings and detour. 2006 seems to be shaping up just nicely, with two new eps due on darren emerson s underwater label, and this, his solo debut for honchos music. >ill take you there< is a sturdy and percussive laden slice of house music. ! support from king unique, kenny hawkes, john acquaviva, paul woolford

after 3 releases from kenny larkin, alain aka dj yellow back with his personnal classic project as he done in the past for yellow production. shamade ft spacek s original version is a perfect downbeat version with wonderfull voice from spacek brothers (steve spacek, morgan zarate & edmund cavill ) ever seen on blue, k7 & more…(as gilles peterson s worlwide programme 1 selection) .king britt s deep spacey soulful version is brilliant ! listen to it! recommended

as with typical of voltmusik releases the old man sorrow idea began in 2002, and was finally cut in 2005 ! old man sorrow is a trip back in time , deep, soulful music for the head ! a tribute to the old disco style coming in at unhurried 120 bpm with bluesy vocals, warm, sweeping grand piano chords and melancholic string-filled breakdowns this was drawn right from the foundation of dance music by brun ( swayzak ) with the help roger 23 and kenny paterson. forget minimal house its boring

back in stock and very raw > great detroit tracks with epic synth lines and spheric sirens by kenny larkin aka dark comedy from 1992 !!!

house great kenny dope remixes for this 70s and 80s east coast funk and disco band originally known as the dynamic souls a must have (sb)
