santos is the man behind the 2000 club hit >camels<. santos is the man behind one of 2009s most played underground house tracks >hold home<. well…… santos doesnt really need an introduction does he?

here comes the first release for the new decade! king dk allows us a glimpse into his darkmind with his new single. the outcome is an outstanding genre mix of melancholic dark popish elements which are surrounded by a fat baseline. the extraordinary vocals by claudia fink polishes up a unique track perfectly made for those cold winter months.

sometimes i feel is superb combination of solid percussion, filtered house backdrops of melodic synths chords and bumping bass, and a strong female vocal, making this a surefire peaktime pleaser. pick of the 3 takes here is the wild pitch vocal version, a stellar floor burner with some great added string arrangements alongside thumping house beats, a bumping bassline, and champagnes anthemic vocal track.

raidens label always comes with something different from the usual d&b formula rubbish. martsmans track is very impressive, with his refreshing future sound. on the other side its business as usual from raiden with help from khanage, its funky, and not as full on as normal, but again right at the cutting edge. martsman got into drum&bass around the end of the 90s. debuting on new york based offshore recordings in 2005, he released on smaller as well as established labels like alphacut records or counter intelligence in the following years. in 2008, tracks on warm communications and hospital records sub label med school attract the attention of a steadily growing audience also from outside the drum&bass scene.

the particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when olaf hilgenfeld (berlin) met iftah gabbai (jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. the piano player hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance. only one year later the duo skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting, innovative off-partys that came up in the new techno generation again.
that was just the beginning. skinnerbox have developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly featuring vocals by elle_p) – that is not based on loops but improvised techno inspired house and minimal house. the roles in the duo are clearly settled: olaf hilgenfeld – moog synthesizer, iftah gabbai – hardware drum machines, max/msp und ableton live.
all these distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing minimal, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz, and ambient electronica futurism.
it was a desire to eternalize this play- & colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire homogeneity. thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental techno and minimal house scapes. >king of spades and marmalades< – the result – is a jazz opus wrapped into a disco suitcase. it is a reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.

we had some unfinished business, so after long deliberation her is the return of creme jak! jtc (aka james t cotton) opens this ep with a devastating 70s disco/funk/jak hybrid, hypnotizing crowds with a repetitive funk guitar and throwing them into a jakking frenzy with a steamrolling basskick counterpoint. simply jak-tastic! followed by a silky chicago dub jakker for the comedown and were ready for 2am/fm. or are we? these two cats rave up the place with some of their patented deep rolling chicago-house influenced trax, but spice it up with a thick-slick muddy bassline before erupting like old yeller. top

king dks debut on panevino music is a solid afro latin influenced track titled sho sho sho and featuring no other than wunmi on vocals. panevino is takin the track on a rumbling groovy loop affair, while victor is doing his appearance with a deep dreaming afro ride. sho sho sho is ready for those shakin bootyz on every dancefloor!!!

before you dive in the regular sales fodder i would like you to ask yourself this question: what if humans arent the only living creatures who can create & enjoy art...? well, meet a true & genuine artist at heart and take a minute for michaels story. totally moved and inspired by the life & work of michael, the silverback gorilla who talked sign language who unfortunately passed away in 2000 after a fatal heart failure, ronny & renzo produced this incredible song me, myself, good after the same titled painting by the hand of the late and great michael... may he rest in peace. ronny & renzo their original version is a 9 minute+ moving epic that not only looks back in sadness at the pain & horror michaels life started with when poachers killed his mother in front of his eyes. it equally celebrates the love & comfort, the guidance & protection he enjoyed while he and koko were adopted and lovingly raised by dr. penny patterson and dr. ron cohn. because of the serious and delicate nature of this tribute release we couldnt think of anyone more appropriate than dance exotica pioneers quiet village to perform the remix. these two extraordinary gentlemen lead you by the hand into the heart of darkness, to a meditative place somewhere deep in the jungle only they know of... after more than a year of silence, a new king kung foo release sees the light of day throwing the label right back in the leftfield disco game. these amazing recordings will not only have their impact on an ecstatic dancefloor but will also be the ideal soundtrack to a lazy sunday. enjoy! pressed on a limited quantity of 1000 copies and no chance for a repress, this desirable twelve inch with powerful cover art will be sold out in no time. but the most important thing here is that koko needs your help! so for each copy sold a part of your money goes to the gorilla foundation.

the newest release on king fu is also from one of the new and upcoming producers of holland. after releases on wolfskuil & the start of his own label, one can say he is the upcoming man in the netherlands. thomas lauren is the brite new star of the melodic techhouse sound of holland. to bad he is gonna be living in berlin from september 2009.

he s the man of the moment. james nidecker, rising star of the dutch technoscene, is always sure to raise an eyebrow or two. not only his djsets, where the amsterdam based artist is often getting the crowds wild with his dark gothpunklike outfits, but also his recent productions can be called mindblowing. nidecker perfectly knows how to combine his dark vocals with uplifting beats, combining influences from electro and minimal techno. s.t.a.l.k.e.r is the culmination of his talents, a hit record already wandering around the dutch clubscene for a while, now finally released on alexander koning s upstruct imprint.
the aside of this release provides a more than outstanding remix from dave ellesmere. renowned for his collaboration with producer 2000 and one under their name microfunk, but nowadays also reaching international fame under his own guise, ellesmere turns s.t.a.l.k.e.r into an ideal dj tool. with a length close to nine minutes, his mix slowly takes the funk of nidecker s rhythms to an upwinding, more techhouse based floorburner.
the other side of this ep is more about the clubs, with dutch dj producer georgio schultz and alexander koning together transforming s.t.a.l.k.e.r into a housetrack like there s no other. here, the unique vocals of nidecker are combined with more melodic, sometimes crazy sounds, always keeping the original flow of the track alive, but taking the best parts of this clubhit to a next level.

plays by:shlomi aber, alexander koning, karotte, shinedoe, namito, dubfire, raresh, ellen allien, bart skils, gel abril, laurent garnier, anderson noise, nuno dos santos etc

this is larry levans tribute by mr. hornbostel & azzetto delivering a fantastic strongly inspired track. a great package of mixes in order to thank the legendary genius for his true message and unique taste.

tokyo based synth outfit trans of life shows some true talent on this double sided single. their productions combine some amazing sounds as wholesome 4/4 house, deep electronic overtones, chill jazz, and latin melodies. foi voce (tol vocal) has lovely portuguese verses & melodies sung by yukiko koga. this is a full on vocal mix chill enough for the lounge and fancy enough for a 5 star dining hall. their dubs go a bit deeper and darker and are a lot more dance floor effective. the vocals turn to echoes and quasi chanting and a myriad of sounds flow in and out of this tune. the masterful original delight earth, a body & soul party favorite, show just how talented these guys are. full of trumpet solos and latin conga rhythms with plucked stringed guitars make for a sensational ride. back to the club on their dub... great package!!

supported by: guido schneider, bushwacka, tania vulcano, clive henry, lauhouse, jamie jones, to mention a few....

heres one of the jewels in the vvwi crown - a dark, smoky collaboration between tim sheridan and king roc described by sebo k as >great. very unique<. its a moody diversion from the european sound thats been a hit from tims birthday gig at dc10 to king rocs recent fifteen-gig stint in brazil, including the nye party on pratigi beach he called >one of the gigs of my life<. and now it comes with two new remixes - a more techno king roc rereub and a bouncier retake by vvwi stalwart andre crom...

3 cuts from the upcoming mix the vibe: teddy douglas & dj spen series!

>were back with a couple quick and sneaky mixes of >rave is king< for early 2009, we just didnt think you had enough of this anthem last year. first up on the take is atls blog wonderkid le castle vania who keeps things pretty close to the original but just a little heavier and a lot more twisted vocoder effects on the vocals. on the flip we have berlins nhan & taan with their electro boogie mix. on first listen the n&t mix sounds like a banger of a downtempo head-nodder but if come up into some serious electro madness primes for the most discerning djs with a flair for the old school. again we remind you, rave is still king !!! coco machete team<

japanese wonder producers tomoko & nono come to nite grooves with a brand new & debut bumpin slammer with 2 distinct reproductions. includes remixes by jim rivers and p60.

dj roland clark hits us with another soulful stunner. his artistic range over the years has proven his dynamic ability to go from spoken word preacher to hard house vocalist to pure soulful singer as heard on this current release, goodbye love. upping the ante on the remix is sole channels own supreme nyc producer alix alvarez whose production on the aa sc vox mix is the exact fit for this song. his sc fly dub is slightly pumpier and deeper for those who like to keep the bass heavy and the head groovin.

two stand-out tracks from veteran eric kuppers recent full-length cd. deep percussive grooves with spaced-out keys.

classical violinist chieko kinbara takes us to a virtual place of worship with >changed my life<. the standout single stemming from her very recent strings of life debut king st album. gospel vocalists sharon adams & lisa mack really take us to church with their big ol chorus & code reds dj spen will be driving us right to the front door with his remix full of spiritual motion and uplifting piano riffs. get ready to lift yo hand on up!
