dj support: umek, luca morris, oliver koletzki, emanuele inglese, chris liebing,.. hell yeah is proud to welcome italian dj/producer dyno on board. the cocoricò resident dj has made a name in the circuit for supersounding techno tunes on italian mantra vibes. this first ep on hell yeah shows up his ability to combine dark tinged melodies (robottino) with dynamic hard grooves (guerra aperta) and weird minimal trickness (teoremia), he keeps the dj friendly factor high without losing the alternative edge of his music... we think that dyno is about to become a key player in the techno community in the next months....you know where youve seen him first

after some very well received releases for the likes of renaissance and kickboxer records, stephan hinz, who has also turned out some hot tracks alongside martin eyerer, presents >bacala<. its a cheekily warped excursion into hinz‘s deep and melancholic dancefloor world, spurred on by a great theme melody, as if you found yourself in the middle of a medieval rave after a long and victorious battle! tight, familiar percussion works the groove, building towards a dramatic break which introduces more layers of synthesised wonder! check this in the main room for maximum effect. audiomatique key player adultnappers remix comes on strong, with a tougher drive and a slightly more freaked out vibe. trademark hissing percussion works over a finely tuned minimal groove, eventually allowing that haunting melody to show its colours. designed for the more freaky floors, yet still focused on melody and progression, its another great example of adultnappers remixing skills

kick ass breaks 2 tracker!!

part of a new breed of detroit techno, we are delighted to announce ryan crossons debut wagon repair ep. having already released on trapez, telegraph and m_nus under his alias berg nixon, ryans floor friendly live sets and shuffled percussive styles are getting many excited, with due cause. a side ‘confiteria del molino is a bassy and deep bomb. introducing itself with eerie warped vocals and strutting beats, dynamic melodic tones hover above a subtle synth progression. enlivened by stabbed horn samples, percussion and booming bass is key to this tracks heavyweight strength. b1 ‘sunshine wave is slightly lighter, opening with a bouncing melody and chattering percussion. a huge bass sound opens things up, accented by needling synth and fueled by a classic prodding techno kick. to close, ‘use me up bubbles with melodic tone and stuttering crackled samples. subtly progressing to a simple beat and rumbling bass, distorted vocal arrangements haunt the mix as flighty pads howl in the distance

ultraphat techno package with mihalis safras, marco nastic aka lets talk and cave!! incl shadowfax 001, 006 and 010

continuing the spectacle that is the poker flat tournament series, we present two more surefire lessons in dancefloor mechanics. after his last storming >zeitgeist e.p< for poker flat, londons very own dark knight raudive aka oliver ho has crafted a powerfully hypnotic club tool that truly exists within its own world of unique and unmistakable sound. carefully executed beats roll forward as an astounding landscape of colourful vocal suggestions and emotions swirl and evolve. its a heady, uncompromising track that certainly stands out as its own, but could complement many different dj situations, from driving peak time sets, to free-flowing after-hours sessions… heading up the opposition for looks set to be a fine tournament indeed, minimise head-honcho and continual key-player donnacha costello brings things down and dirty with his unforgiving and foreboding >i must be going<. a catchy proto-acidic bass line snakes a winding path through a dense atmosphere of late-night paranoia. perfectly crafted beats push the energy along with a casual swagger, whilst the pleasingly tripped out vocal undertones leave the imagination to run wild

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! after his last release on hello?repeat, cabanne is back to make the room and refill the minibar. one year of sailing from bar to bar helped him to distill new unexpected liquors. jesse garonne is an absinthe mix, while f.key would be some good old rhum… the flavor is stupendous and unusual at first but effect is guaranteed, hot dose of deep groove >à ma facon< that brings a crazy, jazzy hot spirit which lifts of the tunes to the insane! it includes a great rmx from john thomas and his wife barbara. a great opportunity, after releasing >funky time< on the milkshake compilation, to bring minibarians a new dose of strong funkster. the hatched sounds and voice brings perfectly the groove…

!!!!!!strictly limited to 500 copies!!!!!! together with stefan goldmanns debut cd the transitory state, macro releases a strictly limited box set containing five 7? records holding the electroacoustic album voices of the dead. with his releases for innervisions, perlon and macro stefan goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting edge of post minimal techno and the renewal of house music. this album is a distinctively different affair though, reaching far beyond the scope of dancefloor electronics. starting a trilogy of concept albums, stefan goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electroacoustic setting. from this album turret is already renowned as the intro sequence of richie hawtins groundbreaking de9 transitions mix compilation and was also commissioned by the biblioteque nationale de france for the imeb phonoteque public collection. the artist explains: at first sight we recognise upfront elements like a melody or rhythmic pattern, which we associate with a certain piece or style of music, but there is tension between two notes, hard-to-define background information that at a closer look is found everywhere - within the music of coltrane and stravinsky, death metal and 9th century byzantine chants. if there is anything like a total, secret common ground, than its this information lurking in the background. these are the voices of the dead, the heritage of an endless line of ancestors brought forward through the centuries. i tried to make these elements audible as clearly as possible. really like this weird space ambient one. ive put katorga and izo already into my final scratch computer and have been playing them! (richie hawtin on voices of the dead) record release event at berghain / panorama bar berlin on september 4th, 2008, feat. ricardo villalobos, mika vainio (pan sonic) and ulrich schnauss (tbc).

glenn morrison co producer with deadmau5 and owner of torontos downbeat label morrison recordings drops by with cosmic flight anacid driven trancer. nick warrens mix however is the key here and is the one that has received the majority support, taking out all the big elements and delivering a warm funk driven piece of house music. supported by james talk, hernan cattaneo, dave seaman, anthony pappa, darren emerson.

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

supported by tom clark, sasse, 2000 and one, woody, paolo martini, 3 channels, adultnapper, dj naughty, garnier and many more.. mindforce is an extra special release we have put together for you. it features an excellent remix by kabale und liebe who is currently causing a big stir amongst the house community with his deep and dark minimal groovers, needless to mention his big hit mumbling yeah that was in the charts of almost every dj and became one of the key tracks last year. also his upcoming productions on the dutch remote area label are amongst our favourite tracks so we couldn’t resist to ask this guy to do an interpretation of a special track we made. mindforce is a bit different to the rest of the dirt crew output, we wanted to make a more reduced grooving dj tool that is still old school but on the other hand contains an hypnotic feel that is more likely to be found in current minimal productions

freerange celebrates its 100th 12inch release with a double vinyl release (this is part 2) including brand new tracks from key artists including jimpster, only freak/spirit catcher and palm skin productions. jimpster starts proceedings with a brand new track entitled got a hold on your soul, an appropriate title for a track that ll draw in the dancefloor with its warm, shuffling beats, lush chords and bleepy fx. palm skin productions lose it beefs things up a bit for an edgy tech house track with plenty of funk. belgiums only freak return with mental overdrive (remixed here by their alter egos spirit catcher). they round things off in suitably driving fashion with a powerful, stripped back monster of a track. spirit catcher have been enjoying huge success with their releases as well as awesome live gigs around the world.

plays by holden, funk d void, xpansul, nazca !! after the big acclaim of the first release, henry saizs >vancouver<, natura sonoris continues its speech with >world solo take one< from the newcomer ugo laguna aka ugoluna. this venezuelan producer based in dublin is one of the label s promises, a yet unknown name that has a lot to say. ugoluna s music is deep, hipnotic, beautifull...and with his big musical baggage and his impeccable technic, creates an original and fresh style world solo take one is a risky ep, that is far from the minimal-house territories to offer something more complex and universal at the same time, energy and feeling in deep techno key.

you re the one is the first single taken from his forthcoming album as high as the sky which will be released on wagon repair in may. baby you re the one is fast out of the blocks with racing percussion and a plunging bass loop. a piercing metallic tone encircles a distorted vocal sample as subtle melodies rise to the surface of the mix, steadily intensifying to climax. on the flip side, crackbeat is a darker animal. kindling wild percussion carries an eerily distant key melody that supports a rich synth siren. teeming with activity, the synth melody is trailed by bubbling bass tones as a feral percussive drive chases to close.

generate music & deepswing productions introduces a new powerhouse singer to the house music scene. this new star with quality talent is brijai harvey. brijai was recommended to generate music by chance (rise up & rescue me) who is a talent within herself. the result from the first vocal session with brijai was this track listen to my power, and because of her talent, this track has all the key ingredients to take it to the top! worldwide everyone can relate to this subject matter in the song.

supported by 2000 and one, anja schneider, jesse rose, loco dice, shlomi aber, trickski, tobi neumann, to name a few.. once again theres a real nod to the old school here in a track inspired by arthur russell. rich, warm analogue pads and subtle fx flashes from the space echo build an enchanting groove. the intensity gradually develops with sounds slowly evolving, lending a deep hypnotic feeling to proceedings, until the chord progression opens out and you cant help but smile. a genuine end of night anthem and when dixon does his own edit you know your onto something special... version: double for your money, with an extra version of the original that doesnt open out into the full stabs and maintains a deeper groove. martin landsky remix: with a tight, tribal tom pattern and straight ahead groove martin landsky achieves a darker more spaced out feeling with his remix. he pushes the pads to a dubbed out climax without fully opening out the progression and this fully hits the spot. martin landsky has been making waves as a dj and producer since the mid-nineties and is one of the key producers at steve bugs excellent poker flat recordings and running his own intim records.. hes compiled many mix cds for labels such as poker flat, systematic and the partysan compilation series. his debut album was >in between< for pokerflat and since then hes remixed the great & good as well as producing several stunning releases and jetting about with his box of records

one of the stand out tracks from osunlades excellent artist album elelments beyond from early 2007 hits the shelves with a plethora of remixes from dj gregory, deetron and manoo stella. dj gregory does what he does best, building and layering tribal rhythms with techy beats with a touch of off key xylophone action thrown in for good measure. the manoo stella mix starts deep before big pads and synths take it in a near progressive direction, while deetron strips things right back and does away with most of the vocal for a pounding house rhythm perfect for the late night clubs. a great track made better by a set of slick remixes makes this a promising start to 2008 for strictly rhythm and osunlade.
