the first release on clapper is by swiss dog dachshund. a side: patte d oie is the name of a neighborhood in dakar, senegal, where dachshund was hanging out back in the days. this track is infused with the sounds of cora, a west african guitar, and wrapped in a heavy drum-kick that fluctuates from highs to lows, creating a hypnotic bass line. b side: bread. the second track is a smoother work that keeps us going with a steady rhythm, airy yet solid like a cloud that cannot evaporate

excellent berghain stuff...

stroboscopic artefacts 1st vinyl release is an incendiary 2 track ep. label founder lucy gives us a visionary blueprint for the future stroboscopic artefacts releases, etching out the soundtrack for an apocalyptic club scenario. out of the a-sides dark, pulsing beats and itchy baselines, a granular voice rises up. krishnamurtis rasping vocal cuts through, creating a colossal techno track. the result is a hybrid of the physical need to dance fusing with the cerebral. amid resonant piano samples and utopian 60s strings, a crystalline question emerges: why dont you change? in the middle of a hazy, overcrowded dance floor this peak-time guerrilla track hints at a moment of epiphany. on the b-side dub man walking, lucys dub-roots background collides with his techno identity. the heavy drum machine structure is injected with obsessive dubby baselines and intersected by high frequency distortion. the track floats, the elements never fully solidify, instead they surge forward becoming ever more urgent. lucy mixed and arranged dub man walking live using his faithful mackie ms 1202 to keep the texture warm in an old skool way

naif 001 features nina kraviz from moscow on the a-side with the stripped down, noisy and rough tune >hotter than july<. she is a singer, producer and dj that runs parties in moscows club propaganda. she is a family member of uq. b-side features a track by efdemin called >sun<.

dachshund & modeste present here their respective views onto dub influenced club entertainment. dachshund strike first with an absolutely stunning cut. deep and highly effective drums, warm pads and superb dub horns along with the ever tight dog productions skills. the track might sound simple at first but yet again, what does sound simple is something you can listen for hours, this is one of thosetracks! modeste launches the big round wooded ball on the flip side. a lethal raw beat, inviting to dirtiness vocals and a snare that hit and hit and hits again… pumpin dub chords lands in and check the effect, club surprising for sure…we hope you like it, thanks for your time

played by: ricardo villalobos, sis, nick curly, anthony collins, chris tietjen, robert dietz, markus fix and many more !!! a resident of the respected mono club night, felix neumann is one of those producers that live music on a 24/7 basis and his productions just keep on coming and growing. we are very happy to have this talented 21 year old in our artist family. the title track put it back is a fresh sound affair and a guaranteed club banger, as tested by most of the mitu family djs. the pumping groove will keep the crowd on its toes and the pinching vocals will have them asking for more. rough is a track that could almost be described by its title alone. it is a steady and solid track that showcases felix s versatile approach to music. that versatility extends to the first b side track. acento is an elegant musical exercise where house, percussion and jazz harmoniously fuse into a track with a strong dance appeal. the last track on this release brings out a heavy-deep-bass vibe. chemal will make your head nod and your body get loose, without you knowing how it all happened.

soniculture welcomes a new artist to the family. bernard siefert, betterknown as nhar is known for his releases on labels such as mobilee, meerestief, plak and modelisme. his hypnotic sound is unique, adding at the same time fine tuned melodies and vocals, in this way, enriching the whole musical experience. with this release, nhar shows us a bit more energy, keeping the soul and exploring the feelings that characterize his productions, but making us dance even more than usual. this is an amazing piece of work from one of the most original producers of the new french techno scene. the a side begins with >derceto<, a very modern techno track but with an old school touch and an outstanding percussion arrangement. the hypnotic bassline is strong and involving and the vocals make it dirty, when needed. thinkfreak closes this side with a powerful remix, taking the energy to higher levels and making it a dance floor slammer for the craziest moments of the night (or day). with >owls are not what they seem<, nharshows us how hypnotic he can be. the track is filled with sophistication andthe production details are exquisite. this is electronic dance music at itsbest. dalessandro & expander present a version of >owls are not what theyseem< that is sexy and groovy and is for sure perfect for that special afterhour moment or simply when there is a special need for love.

tc turns his hand to evil 9s homage to sci-fi ghoulfest, they live. whilst maintaining the originals eerie atmosphere, tc has certainly infused the true drum and bass treatment. techy vocal hooks give way to a pulsing bassline, perfectly suited to a chase scene from a horror flick. on the flip side, tc gives freelands under control a good re-lick here: with a catchy guitar riff, stomping beats, soaring synths and some heavy bassline action, this is smashing stuff. featuring a live band and stunning vocals, courtesy of kurt baumann, the under control remix is an uplifting, euphoric and rock-infused rollercoaster of a ride.

brian sanhaji, ambitious producer of chris liebing s well known clr-team, one more time underlines his talent with this beautiful ep. it comes along with 3 dancefloor-filling and peaktime techno-bombs of the man from frankfurt on this 2nd vinyl release of the cologne based label. in addition there is one massive remix of cotek, the heads of rheintime records, on the a-side.

this ep opens with a funky but chill pinched, a mid-tempo track that starts out with a shuffled beat and deep bassline before breaking down and coming back with a haunting synth that is almost reminiscent of heartthrob. the second track on the a-side, sublingual, starts out almost as stripped down before turning into a smooth dancefloor track very much in the vein of the current output of dial records.

rebolledo is an artist from xalapa, mexico, who is very much part of the comeme family of latin american artists. he s been around from the early days when he used to provide music for the buenos aires based bumbumbox street parties. so far he s had tracks on previous comeme releases, notably pitaya frenesi, but this is his first full release on his own. rebodello is the consummate comeme artist, with a quirky sense of humour, a unique latin american approach to dance music and a lean lo-fi approach to track making that is built to cut through on any sound system. lead track >guerrero< follows in comemes now established strange sense of humour, guerrero means warrrior and is a track about a >guerrero< who comes out at night and dresses in leather, it s all shouted vocals simple beats and 80s style synths. venganza y seduccion means vengeance and seduction and features suggestive panted echoing vocals over a cosmic disco bassline, while atmospheric chords build in the background, if this sounds strange it s because it is, but the combination works really well in a club.
the b side of the record is much harder and more techno-like - marchante is completely different, aggressive kick drums, a pulsing bassline and siren-like synths bring this track a panicked feel, which is offset by the way the drums build into tough patterns. raid features strange nonsense vocals over a pulsing rhythm track that reminds of old chicago acid, if it wasn t for the strange atmosphere. rebodello is a very welcome addition to the world of dance music.

with this new ep tom clark makes an impressive return to the highgrade release program. following a collaboration with marcus schatz and most recently with benno blome, he now comes back as a solo artist. after only a few beats, you’ll be sure to recognise his signature sound. tom needs surprisingly few elements to build a unique atmosphere and his matchless grooves. on the title track “scorpio“ we find a deep, rolling bassline and a slightly orientally influenced vocal, combined with the typically unique clarkish synth leads, and we’re ready to go. it’s a track that continually keeps the excitement moving while never letting the cat out of the bag, and more than deserves the a-side. then we come to “albino“, also featuring sparkling synths and rolling drums that create an impression of fluidity and an unhurried beginnings, but we also end up in a waterfall… who would have known!? in conclusion comes “sand flea“, as lively as a box of fleas, but not nearly as aggrivating! mister clark is again at his best, with a love for detail, an innate sence for strange sounds and an a significant quantity of leisurely energy, this tune also really hits the mark. this is not the work of a newbie who produces an aggressive sound to prove his talents. the result is the feature of this ep: seldom has an understatement sounded so fresh. + digital-only bonus track “12 notes“!

already played by karotte & tobi neumann !!! the initial these days trilogy concludes with a collection of works and remixes of new york artist and resident filsonik. >diva jaguar< is a deep and mosaic journey which weaves vibrant percussion between subtle textured pads and flowing melodic synths to create a unique spiritual moment. raw elements of the original are extracted and distilled to leave an organic, hypnotic flow in these days beats version. argys tool version of filsoniks >can u< features on the flip side as an absolute percussive dancefloor groove. alexander ross takes >diva jaguar< in a completely different direction with a soaring, spacial cut which layers a driving beat and echoing, dubbed synths over bass and textures from the original !!!

antislash joins frankie records with a 3 tracker ep titled “vertiges ep” a bunch of quirky sounds and fonky beats …we start with the long side a1 - lendemain de fête (more than 10 min!!)a great shaky tool sounds like an invitation to share their sense of groove warm and bleepy sounds are nicely arranged …definitely a great moment with crazy moments and deeper atmosphere in the 2nd part of the song…simply a wonderfull and powerfull track!…on the flip b1 damn a nice bleepy and crazyness with takt, groove and great arrangements …follows b2 pastis anis combining deeper atmosphere and weird bleepy sounds as antislah knows to do

after hitting his stride in 2008 with his debut for mobilee one is not enough followed by his second release, sand on the floor, the one-man phenomenon is back for a third round for mobilees 55th release entitled first talk, an enthralling tech-house release that is as boundless as it is stunning. the a-side first talk is a bouncing techy track that constantly moves forward and progresses without sounding the least bit rushed, continuously teasing the listener with build-ups that stop just short of peaking. combining vintage synths and reverb-laced loops, and.id meticulously plays with dynamics and atmospherics with the end result being a release that constantly moves forward without sounding the least bit rushed. b1 ephoria maintains a similar level of compelling restraint, with stuttered house beats and melodic undercurrents that morph and shift until they transform into arpeggiated swells leading the track to its endpoint. on b2 lights on and.id displays his darker, more minimal side, taking advantage of lower frequency ranges and recurrent echoes

this is the one you ve all been waiting for, the bad science ep from the mighty rustie. amazingly enough for an artist who has such an huge impact over the last year this is only his second full ep. i could go for on days about how good it is but best not eh. it all kicks off with the fractured hip-hop weirdness of tar and then swiftly moves into the massive bad science. we ve been seeing folk go crazy to bad science and rightly so, its an anthem and has getting properly hammered by kode9 and mark pritchard to name a few. its then on to the out there 8 bit bleepage of shadow enter. the b-side is now dedicated to the now legendary zig-zag and wireblock have really done themselves pround with this one by going straight to one of rustie s hero s the legendary henrich mueller (dopperleffekt, drexciya, arpanet etc) to add his own electro-physics sound to the aquatic mentalness of the original track. it comes to an end with zig zag (reprise), now the original was daft enough but this just to pushes it even further into new realms of madness. buy, buy, buy!
