anne amiee continue to represent the forward thinking abstract dub sound…. marchos enochson (maw records, sonar kollektiv, still music) teams up with fellow swede, the subliminal kid on the prettiest looking label around. two solid tracks of delta funktionens mix takes things into murkier territory. bad

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart

hot on the heels of acclaimed releases for four:twenty, dessous, sonar kollektiv, buzzin fly and his own diynamic usic, house producer du jour mladen solomun returns with his second stunning single for dessous after the sublime >sambada ep<. >woodstep< is a percussive trip to the heart of house, a tech-tinged groove peppered with strange tribal rhythms, evoking a midnight trek into the sultry tropical rainforest. on the flip, >no comment<, an analogue bubblebath of a bassline propels a techier cut, where detroit washes do battle with stepping keys, a crisp beat and belches of hissing smoke. halfway through, a spoken word sample ushers in lush echoic piano chords, taking the track to the next level. combining the heavily rhythmic bustle of classic house with the darker touch of techno in his own idiosyncratic & dancefloor - capti-vating way, solomun once agains shows why hes rapidly becoming one of the most in-demand producers in the game

swedish maestro tiger stripes delivers an arpeggio house masterpiece, backed by heavy and sublime remixes from frankfurts kings of the deep, motorcitysoul. a producer of eclectic taste demonstrated by output on labels as diverse as defected, southern fried and sonar kollektiv, tiger stripes has turned his hand to cosmic mellifluous house for urbantorque. beach buggy is a track that deserved big remixes, and motorcitysoul show their more than up to the task with three inspired rubs for different moods.

well, ive known markus for a while and hes a damn good producer. hes been here for a while now and has been releasing on labels like maw, raw fusion, sonar kollektiv or deeply rooted to name a few. his music is always elegant and his production has an edge. lately he lets his early rave and techno influences shine through. for remixing, we got lucky to have >redshape<. hes definitely one of the most interesting producers at the moment and has understood detroit techno and house much better than anyone right now. both mixes are lo-fi and dirty, with a proper sexy groove. needless to talk too much about it: if you like real house and techno just.. .

sunset diskos presents jens lodén, he released a couple of records for dialog recordings (sonar kollektiv). anyway jens presented his version of minimal funk for us, and we fell immediately for his feeling for groove, something we lack in most so called >minimal< these days. not to be forgotten in this context: jens general background as a superb electric bass player. so what we have here is two stunning examples of straight back minimal funk, presented under the disguise as tech house.. jens presents his production in a unique style, really hard to describe or compare to other productions around , so you got to hear it for yourself..

to honor zumbis tale, we re grateful for the contribution of two of europes finest producers. berlin based henrik schwarz is a long time aficionado of funk, house, disco, jazz, techno and soul. exploring those musical forms and pushing the boundaries in between is his humble mission. his adventures into hi fi are truly amazing and pure bliss. once again hes blessing a vinyl with an enormous remix treatment! and last but not least back by popular demand, enrico volcov! milanos soulbrother with the midas touch, known for his outstanding production work on projects such as rima or his current isoul8 on sonar kollektiv, drops a deep and growing house rework in approved manner

supported by: sven väth, steve bug, mike monday, miss jools, karotte, satoshi tomie !! childhoods end is a massively bouncing detroit-influenced tune with a dominating chord theme you will not forget. this track has a story: when we received the first version almost one year ago, we already knew this could be a big one, because of the wonderful chord theme. however, we weren t completely convinced by the mix down. the improvement of this tune became a mental trip for pele. by producing his final version, he acquired so many skills, that with this track he has left his fledging stages – which is why this production is called childhood s end

martin and his singer jay sebag are back with >rejection<, the last single taken from the >hedonist< album. already a smashing hit in france, >rejection< will be released as a 2 vinyls set on mixture :mxt024 for a different and more hypnotic flavour, the mxt24 (the alternative mixes) delivers colourful remixes by tricksky (sonar kollektiv), stylophonic and ex-echo

hot on the heels of the prins thomas mixes come these wigged out house versions from parisian franck roger, plus the original and legendary >la stache< mix. franck roger is carving out a great reputation on the house scene at the moment, his releases on his own real tone records have set the benchmark for other productions on sonar kollektiv/innervisions, seasons recordings and kenlou records, as well as remixes of blaze, roy ayers and jazztronic. franck opts for a sophisticated house rework of >moustache<, its techy moments peeking in and out of the rattling percussion, with oodles of funk layered on top. the >la stache< original mix from blackjoy is included on this release also, a huge underground cut with the nu-disco/balearic/cosmic crowd on its first release on bob sinclar s yellow label last year, and still sounding just as vital today

her comes the first 12inch after soulphictions >state of euphoria< album-release on jazzanovas sonar kollektiv-imprint. and it differs…!!! back home from a safari with his son in kenia, he is kicking his atmospheric tracks to the limit, you can literally feel the vibes of the mara down africa! >masai mara< drops some lovely spring-flavoured arpeggios on massive wardrums, layering it to an absolute climax, …the good side of trance! >keekorok< on the flip is a sunriser, with its sliding synthstabs and old-school but totally up-pushing beats..
