pumpin riva starr tracks... incl kink remix, which is very chicago inspired

you just wouldnt write a weird piano melody, put it through all your distortion pedals then write an epic post-disco jam around it. basically that doesnt work� or at least shouldnt� but das moth (aka: tokyo-dwelling dj, producer and punk bassist tim sullivan) has provided us with proof to the contrary in his debut 12 inch release featuring >moon< and the aptly titled >wrong<. yes it works, and its genius. we wont do any more head-scratching on how to describe this release, except to say that the vinyl is an absolute must-have, also featuring proto-house workout from heavyweights kink & neville watson.

championed by: josh wink, karotte, stephan bodzin (my best track 2010 so far), len faki, reboot, john digweed, d julz, pete tong, nick curly, steve bug, kenny larkin, tobi neumann. systematic continue their never-ending hot streak with what is their 70th release, and the sixth from the dream team of marc romboy and blake baxter. after groundbreaking releases such as >freakin<, >house ya< and more recently >where would you be?<, the pair bring us the mighty >muzik<. for those unaware of the glittering background of mr. baxter, you should know that he holds a place as one of the protagonists in the historical development of detroit techno. his legendary releases on underground resistance, tresor and incognito are still firm favourites in the boxes of many of todays big jocks

excellent rmxs from delano smith , kink, chez damier, ethyl... any questions ??

big with: soul clap, ewan pearson, mandy, okain, lee curtiss, alex celler, remo, kiki, deetron, technasia, oxia, samuel l session, osunlade, funk dvoid, anja schneider, brothersvibe,.. the saga of dj t.�s triumphant album the inner jukebox continues. embodying itself this time as a collection of reworks from two of dance music�s currently most exciting talents, and of course dj t. and his main man thomas schumacher. this diverse package of remixes is sure to keep the inner jukebox on peoples mind throughout the summer of 2010. kink has without a doubt put bulgaria on the map. increasing the number of great electronic musicians that have come from eastern europe in the past few years. he takes �dis� into a dream state of classic detroit strings, synths and 909 claps

remixes by lawrence and kink & neville watson from two tracks taken from the currently released album >before we say goodbye< following the beautiful and outstanding achievement that was donnacha costellos >before we say goodbye<, an album so rich in heartfelt musical messages and true vintage synthesis, we present remixes courtesy of highly respected producers lawrence and kink & neville watson.

features a wide variety of sounds and international talent from san francisco to canada to germany to brasil. but even though it showcases a very international roster, each track has that special freaky spark that makes it work on dirtybird.

incredilbe package with remixes by schatrax, kink, todd sines as .xtrak, kink and the subliminal kid. the result of schatrax take is a typically beautiful and deep reworking. todds remix of dodaso is typically fucked up and funky in true .xtrak style. kinks version of the gauntlet remains quite faithful to the original whilst also instilling it with his own trippy and unique style. last year peder mannerfelt, aka the subliminal kid, sent me a track which became the only track released on off-key through a demo submission. blackwood freestyle has mutated under the hands by the subliminal kid into a rolling dub inflected groover.

mock & toof proudly present the fantastic >farewell to wendo<, the first single from their debut album >tuning echoes< which is scheduled for release in may 2010. for those unaware, mock & toof are two of the uks finest. having built up an enviable reputation via 12 inch releases on james murphys dfa recordings and their own tiny sticks imprint, they specialize in brilliantly off-kilter, disco-fuelled grooves that are laced with originality. enough originality in fact to have caught the attention of hot chip, zero 7, holy ghost! and groove armada who all recently called for their remix services, and thats just the tip of their production iceberg.

new label from macedonia run by the very talented stojche & and sound diffusion !! dj support by ashley beedle, jimpster, chris duckenfield, milton jackson, kink & more

sleazy mcqueen is one of the snazzier monikers of laurin fedora. >a rough guide< is the debut release for the florida based beat master, who like things deep, just as we do at hairy claw.
things open up with >naked<. the kink mix in full effect. it sounds like a soundtrack to an alien invasion for the first half before the squelchy and slightly wonky synths rotate the oscillators to full effect.
>this time< keeps the drums four miles deep but adds on slabs of discordant waveforms. >goody gumdrops< drops in smatterings of portamento blasted arppegiator lines and negative question is all about the handclaps and pulsating bass. a fine rough guide ... and debut for anyone to be proud of.

the answer (gipsy kink mix) working around the rousing vocals of a mysterious anthem resulting into a stomping analogue workout. heavy heavy drums form the basis for a true oldschool-meets-newschool floorfreaker! manolo - timeless signs breathing new life and energy with this slow burning acidic jam. an ideal opener or indeed closer to the party, the free-flowing balearic vibes are coming on strong, as we are locked in on this one.

snuff crew (playhouse / nature) sign up for the third release on hhyr. again in best tradition they come up with two old skool inspired chicago house tracks. where feel inside is a deeper journey, slam it is a straight up jacking affair. hhyr natives kink & neville watson remix feel inside into a dance floor monster... bass!

jack for daze is one of the new clone series of releases inspired by the early house releases from chicago. one of the main inspirations of the clone crew... first release is done by neville watson, known for his collaboration with kink. two sweet tracks that are highly influenced by joe lewis and larry heard. two tracks that sound as if they came out of a time machine. clone founder serge produced a modern jack track together with gerd as bonus track. back into the studio since a long time and just playing around they came up with a nice hybrid mix somewhere inbetween an old gherkin gherks / larry heard release and a modern club track. crazy low bass kick and a classic jacking percussion drive combined with todays production skills. a proper club tool that compliments this first jack for daze release... very much recommended!

neville was resident dj at the legendary checkpoint charlie for many years, is one of the midnight steppers and has recently released some amazing house music with new producer kink to great acclaim. this is him all on his own. its a slab of bad-boy chicago house. a 707 drum machine, a bouncing bassline, pitched down vocals and a serious case of the jack. what more do you need? move quickly cos this one will fly out sharpish and be smashing dancefloors to bits all summer.

fast forward 2008. may be later bridges sound and mood from the summery and sublime to the dark and throbbing. while mars cello floats and warms, burdelia chugs somewhere between chicago and early nyc house. fade me in zips along with furious kink and dubious vox by dinkys longtime friend jorge gonzalez. seven 2 seven, when aimed at 8am berlin ravers, massive freak outs ensue. she is moving features minimal vocalist extraordinaire big bully, together they attain that vital equilibrium of naughty and nice. the album closes with mind, an electronic fusion moving, looming, eerie, and reassuring. may be later is an open door to ms. alejandra iglesias development exposing the path, connections, and influences that brought her here. the beach, nyc underground in all its flavors, berlin, the stage, detroit, electronic waves from all directions, chicago, mega-clubs, it is all here and it is all her own!! re-release !!

two originals by formidable force and and a remix of each one by bon johnson and one by kink. can you feel it is a house pounder with quite a few unexpected quirks and vocal drops sounding like a sample from gwen mccraes funky sensation. 80s style influences have been time warped into oblivionvia a disco ball. zip jumper is a 4 on the floor masher filled with bleeps and bloops and assorted funked effects. already getting plays from hipp e, asad rizvi, sound republic and johnny fiasco

krischmann & klingenberg - germanys new faces of dance floor destruction - have a long history concerning their collaboration and music. they already met at school and soon after realizing that becoming musicians would be a dream they started living it: both infected by the hardstylevirus had been working together for a long time and after their first release at skull tunes and the immediately following >hammerhuhn ep< at unknown power the audience experienced raw power with a high level pressure. they spent nearly all of their living on equipment last year and one can truly say that they became a massive package performing live. prepare for fresh sounds and kicking beats
