part iii ? manipulation musik. manipulation musik is the darkest and most cinematic piece on this collection of eps. delicate manipulated melodies and melancholic strings moves in and out of a crackling and distorted soundscape, telling an experimental sound tale with a sad ending. on b-side redshape (present, delsin) makes a remix solely using sounds from the original. redshape described his tape dub version like this: ?think disco dub, plonk & pain?. not much to add to that ? it kind of says it all. enjoy!

2 nice technoid minimal tracks .. olympia kommt mit african vocals daher, auf der grüne heide gehts floatiger zugange

part ii ? axis audio. mokira once told kontra-musik that three analog tape echoes are needed to produce one mokira track. when listening to the track axis audio you can hear why. metallic bursts of sound hits like waves on an irish shore in autumn. kept together by a solid bassline and a fragile melody axis audio is an excursion in beautiful sounds. on the b-side, echospace (deepcord, modern love) makes you dance. it is distorted, it is minimal, it is raw and last but last not least, it is oh so funky. this track will move dance floors.

part i? time track . mokiras time track is the deepest of dub music and electronic gear has seldom sounded this organic. rolling cords and bassline builds slowly towards the dub meltdown. on the b-side silent servant (sandwell district, historia y violencia) produces a rolling wall of sound. this is a high energy, metallic sounding dance piece ready to serve djs around the globe. to be played loud, not silent.

huge rmxs by reboot and maayan nidam!! this project is a new collaboration between mathias kaden and the tokyo based dj pi-ge aka yasuo takata. the track has been produced in japan and the vocals are sung by pi-ges girlfriend shoco. remix support is coming from reboot and maayan nidam and actually there are no more words necessary. welcome 2011 !

jori hulkkonens swot ep - giving dance scholars the tools they need to successfully defend their groove-thesis.

kontra music comes up with two mind-blowing techno pieces from marcel dettmann. constructed out of parts, samples and inspiration from swedish experimental dub/drone act mokira (type, raster noton & mille plateaux), dettmann delivers two brand new cuts.

nach ekstatisch gefeierten remixes für gossip & scissor sisters releast siriusmo die erste 12 inch aus seinem anstehenden debutalbum (febr 2011). das adrenalien geladene >feromonikon< erinnert an die besten momente klassischer alter ego-rave hits, gepaart mit warp ähnlichen soundelementen. >signal< könnte durchaus einen der besten melodischen techno momente von paul kalkbrenner darstellen. beide tracks ergänzen sich bestens. die a-seite als garantierter hit für die peak time, während >signal< als subtiles gegenstück eher in den frühen morgenstunden funktioniert.

das niederländische duo tj kong & nuno dos santos setzt seine suche nach dem perfekten house-groove fort. diese ep auf compost black label enthält remixe zweier tracks ihres im sommer erschienenen albums >after dark, my sweet<. kirk degiorgio verwandelt >where were you< (vocals: robert owens) in einen warmen deep techno track. außerdem enthalten ist ein unwerfend guter mix des amsterdamer newcomers melo

as part of the 2010 rebirth of vladislav delay-as-sistol, he has recorded a bold, poppy record, more like luomo than vladislav delay, & club friendly, too-boot. 2 original tracks paired w/ reworkings by redshape & jori hulkkonen. 180 gr. + pic sleeve.

stanislav sevostyanikhin returns under his kontext guise with four tracks of tightest dubtech minimalism on immerse. these are his first konext productions since the impressive >dissociate< album, continuing a trajectory into widescreen dub techno and clipped, post-dubstep rhythm programming. >no more room in hell< combines the luscious atmospheres of pendle coven or bvdub with subtle glitching rhythms, while >daphnia pulex< adds glassy electronic melodies and padded subs to the equation. most interesting of all is >sattva<, rolling raga drones into his morphing dub chords and crafty future garage stabs, kinda like pole meets farben on a dusky autumnal evening. if you ever wanted a more reduced ramadanman, or a glitchier appleblim, this is well worth checking...

1989 release by omar for kongo dance.

slammin detroit techno infected 4 track ep... if you like pan-pot >> so please listen carefully

kondens is a collaboration between swedish electronic music veterans andreas tilliander (mille plateaux/force inc, raster-noton and repeatle) and stefan thor aka folie (mitek). the sound is a hybrid of techy dubstep with a twist and banging dub-influenced techno. pure peak time bliss without losing the love for dub and tape delays. the vinyl debut, first cut ep, includes a stunning deep techno remix signed norman nodge.

snapshot records are back with the long awaited remixes of roberto boscos >hong kong<. rising star bosco previously releasing on wave and figure records hits us with his title track twisting and turning into an uplifting dancefloor-friendly chord-driven essential deep techno cut. claudio mates remix keeps it deep and emotional unfolding his raw groove style, flipping the 12 over label head elliott dodge moves straight to the floor with a rolling sparkle of enjoyment, layering sounds that hook and lock you in for the ride. rennie fosters mix has to be one of his best tech-house remixes of his career, mixing his signature sound and taking boscos original to a whole new level. all in all, four serious tracks that will find themselves hitting the floors for along time coming.

mr konfuze & lunatic as known from manmade feature funk and for their sureshot track >on the beatbox< come again with their first extended player! employing the original techniques and artform of sampling they bring the bomb track >dont wanna lose it< in two different versions for your dancing pleasure.
mixing uplifting disco piano, slamming breakbeats, electro-synth, funky rhodes, and pop vocals to create a catchy sound chopped up inna hiphop style - familiar to anybody and outstanding at the same time.

ikonika & optimum are proud to introduce their highly anticipated new venture: hum + buzz records. this double a side debut release is right at the centre of the current uk crossover, post-genre sound. first up, >aqueous cream< explores a different sound to the one ikonika delivered on her recent hyperdub debut album. a dancefloor ready track with smooth sub bass, staccato piano chords, trademark emotive synth-leads, underpinned by tough kicks, sizzling hi-hats and ricochet snares. on side aa, >ampersand< marks ikonika & optimums first official collaboration. layers of synth melodies float above a steady four/four pulse and unpredictable claps. an angular, broken, melodic march at a house tempo.

first release by laurent konrad, made in 2003.

detroit artist jason fine is back with a follow up to his critically acclaimed future thought album. the master of the introspective and personal techno sound gives us another killer release, once again transforming daily life experience into beautiful and moving deep techno and house. jason fine continues to play around with layered melodies and harmony mixed with raw and funky drum programming. the ep opens with the track orange, a beautiful monotone organ based techno track, revealing hard times. violet continues in the same vein. blue melodies play around over minor organ chords and heavy kick drum. on the inner tracks blue and red jason with confidence moves into the electro territory, still keeping emotion and atmosphere up front. even though the concept behind this ep is the full color spectrum, the mood is all over blue.

robyn gets mashed with the cure.

incl. rmxs by hercules & love affair , who made who and cfcf ... jori hulkkonen (turbo, modular, fcomm) has been hailed as >the most underrated producer in the world<, >living legend of electronic composition< and >musics best kept secret<. i am dead is a stunning pop inspired single with vocalist jerry valuri. drifting and cascading analog synths throughout give i am dead both uplifting and dark undertones. timeless and imaginative. one of jori hulkkonens most memorable works.

on his first release, >muskelminne ep<, gunnar delivers an indian summer love song, >massagerutin 1<, some deep and glistering morning music with the track >morgonanga< and ends with the raw but perfect bonus beat, >lilla huset pa prärien<. or as gunnar jonsson puts it: >i just want to have a good time with music, no steroids, no tricks, just some soft grooves and some hardware fun. i love older electronic instruments, the way they look and sound makes me feel good inside and gets me going.< eat healthy and ride a bike between the studio sessions that is gunnar jonssons vibe. it is our wish that this ep will end many summer night dance floors.

tracks with the license to drive you mad! nothing less what you can expect from this ep from germanys upcoming sven kegel aka drehkontrolle. sharp production with sound(e)scapes that are weird but straight at the same time. real hidden secret weapon for your case, thx god you have it on vinyl to listen to this nice bass!

new 303-shaking, torso-breaking, fractal-shaping, billy crystal-aping release by jesper dahlbäck and jori hulkkonen!

deep down from the heart of motorcity stuttgart comes a fresh new label from the founder of the well known techno imprints neue heimat & mutter rec. - daniel benavente and oliver hauf - coworker of the vinyl store humpty records stuttgart. the born baby is called salon rosi - conform with the events were celebrating in club rocker33 since years. the first release is starting off with newcomer konstantin sibold who brings us his neuland e.p. - containing two slices of pure technosoul with very different characters. the a-side >apart< is a mixture of traditional detroit techno combined with modern tech-house rhythms which builts and builts, ending in an climax of pure euphorism. b-side >gestade< is a well funky and deep explosion with a subtle throbbing acid-bassline vibe, well-flavoured with pieces of bitter sweet harmonies.

nice price deal !!! idiot is already something of a hit with those whove heard it being played out, combining hard soca drums with lush ecstatic melodic synth harmonies and a driving bass with a strange 8-bit melody that stumbles and trips around the rhythm. its completely alien at first, but potent enough to stick in your ears until you might catch yourself humming the refrain when you least expect it. a unique and fantastic combination of compelling contemporary sounds! altered natives, aka north london producer danny native, whose track >rass out< was one of 2009s best, takes over the b-side with a remix that seems to reflect 20 years of british house music back on itself. just using the bleeps from the original tune, he echoes and morphs his own melody over stepping dubby kicks and snares and a dark, driving bassline

the debut album by kontext on immerse records. blending key elements of dubstep and techno with classic glitch signifiers and idm, his music is instantly recognizable and utterly distinctive.

produced by bobby konders and burro banton for massive b in 2003.

kontra-musik continues its 10inch remix series. this turn is for ben klock and oni ayhun to get busy and rework tracks from the jason fines future thought album. ben klock now finalizes (may we call it the kontra-musik berghain sessions after shed and dettmann remixes) with a stomping, chicago-esque modern dancefloor cut. by adding vocals but keeping jasons original chords, there is some serious anthem warning to this one. on flip there is some magic! oni ayhun leaves us with a stunning and experimental tech electro kraut excursion. think yello magic orchestra jamming on beats provided by morris day and the time... wooow what a track!! another great piece in the carefully builded kontra musik catalogue! check

some nice disco infected here!!

ultraphat tribal infected prime time techno !!!

jori hulkkonens superb 2009 album >man from earth< offered nothing if not a glimpse of pure inspiration, like having a candid dinner conversation with the inventor of the cloth napkin. now, turbo is proud to present this stellar remix pack, which offers amazing new perspectives on tracks from the lp, revisiting the music with an athletes eye and ears bursting with heart.
