one of the biggest tracks in 2003, certainly here at syntax, gets a rework courtesy of landshark lance desardi and luke sardello. landshark main mix removes the adam sandler intro, beefs up the beats and adds an extra melody, almost german poptastic, and includes an instrumental. flip for the dub - huge oompty shiznit happenings ! massive wobbly reverb bass and a touch of quirky acid, little telephone ring loops ad shuffled hi-hats. >mix your own temptation<is an acapella with hand claps. icon roll on

bush #2042 and #2043 in one package - acidic technostorm by woody mcbride.

nick fiorucci must rate as one of canadas most important producers of the past 20 years, and remarkably fresh, he delivers the hottest tracks coming from his native land. the a side has shades of dadmau5 along with a tough hatiras remix. fiorucci takes production details himself on the flip and goes on a pumped up jean michael jarre space voyage, slammin.

zero cash is back, served in slices! dont say what you think comes at you with two different versions, both hot out the over. the main mix is straight ahead, bangin and dark for the peak hours and tends to make you very nervous. the alternate mix takes you down the dial to minimal/sci fi soundtrack land slathered over an intentionally thicker crust. both mixes are hot and heavy and not for the feint of heart. then in classic zero cash style he lightens stuff up for the b side with more than enough taking you on an electro journey remniscent of 80s cop shows and shoot em up video games. served in slices, get em while they re hot!!!

with his second release on baobab music, producer mr raoul k heads into new territories. like he did on his first release >le cercle peul<, he combines traditional african instruments and the african approach to rhythm with european production techniques and soundscapes. this time he examines the depths of sound of dubtechno. this effort results in an epic musical journey, an almost soundtrackesque piece of music that accompanies the travelling mind as easily as the dancing body. mr raoul k manages to stay focused troughout this long trip through the land of haunting grooves and irie sounds with ease. driving, yet calm at the very same moment. and full of surprises, too. the flipside delivers – besides a condensed edit of >himalaya< - a grooving piece of afrofunk-goes-house, perfectly fitting in the sunnier time of the year. fellow ivorian doungous delivers the infectious vocals to round up this track

2x 15mins of ultra hypno house!! big with ricardo villalobos, prins thomas, laurent garnier,… unarguably, the best way to prepare umu is inside a hole in the ground. go find a nice flat land, preferably your mother in laws lawn, gather friends, ask them to bring wine. youll need a well amplified turntable playing mania #11 on a loop. cut the grass using a flat shovel, four or six square pieces of 50 cms, lifting the grass with its roots and some soil, move aside. now you have a clean area of about 1.5 mts square, dig in it to a depth of about 50 cms (come on, it will make you sweat profusely but you need this shallow grave to feel the magik of easter islands umu!).

two years ago, honest jons travelled to lagoswith the great drummer tony allen, to make his first recordings there since his time with fela kuti an album entitled lagos no shaking, a classic of contemporary afrobeat. since then, the label has widely commissioned numerous responses to those new sides. from legends of dance music culture like basic channel in berlin, for example, and founding father of detroit techno, carl craig, and young tigers like dizzee rascals newham generals, mia producer diplo in baltimore, and carioca sensations bonde do role from rio de janeiro. and newrecordings from cairo, saturn, bogota and kingston, jamaica fresh interpretations or complete reworkings by the space jazz pioneersalah ragab, a street brass band descended from sun ras arkestra, highlife inspired afro colombian drummers from the maroon village of san palenque de basilio, and a veteranof count ossies mystic revelation of rastafari.

janko bartelink is a new artists on the bunker robot dystopia series. he brings stunning dark industrial techno/electro atmospheres and soundscapes.

if this were an episode of the game show jeopardy and the following track titles represented an answer, the correct question would undoubtedly be what is a huge hephner ep?. after his highly successful debut (booty drop ep) on siteholder uncut, as well as various remix projects, the funk slut himself returns with his virgin vinyl effort for siteholder records. following what he calls a highly inspirational trip to the strip clubs and whorehouses of las vegas, hephner took his sexual adventures and turned them into an ep that couples ass-shaking funk with in-your-face bass. it seems that his pimpin escapades have finally found an outlet that wont land him in jail, but instead on some of the sickest sound systems our planets nightclubs have to offer

nice price deal !!! 3 tracks of the hoxton whores unreleased works here. funky peaktime house stuff as usual!!!

the second installment from new british techno label. mutate to survive, brings us man of the minute … calvertron ! if you have missed the hype , calvertron is the man behind some of 2007s biggest remixes on the ministry of sound label, alongside other releases on reknowned electro labels such as funktion and freek recordings. dj plays have come from many big names such as bass kleph, eric prydz and pete tong.. calvertrons use of intelligent bass edits and tricks, and glitchy pumping drums has become unmistakable, and on this e.p. he goes slightly further into the land of techno, with beautifully crisp production and driving basslines. 2007 lit the fuse for calvertron, and 2008 will see him explode dancelfoors all over the world

the second freak n chic release of 2008 brings the premier release from long-time fnc dj collaborator dyed soundorom. 01 >question< lays down a dubby slow-moving groove from the start, as the grooves pick up the questions land, letting the pace take you up and bring you down to the deep-grooved finish. 02 >infection< instantly creates a deep and dubby late-night vibe that holds back the pace and keeps the funk grooving. support coming from.. claude vonstroke, ali schwarz, anja schneider, damian lazarus, kiki, sebo k, shonky, shinedoe, camea, chloé, jennfier cardini, todd bodine, benno blome, anthony collins, jamie jones.

joel mull, another representative of the swedish techno community, releases his current vision of what is to happen on the dancefloors. it is different from what his fans know from the early days. with his debut single on cocoon >harmonautic string<, joel mull sends us to a journey through the track which is smoothly airy-fairy and thus perfect to dive into the land of dreams after a wild party night. even when speeding up after a short break with the drums dominating – the track remains harmonic and is designed to dance into the sun in the early morning hours. the b-side appears spacy and melancholic, but again, mull is able to layer his music so deep and brillant that the basic mood is still vicious with the track still coming along in a magical and elegant way. >blossom< is exactly the right thing for a cold winter night and reminds of the b-side of beyers cocoon release

bomb alert summer 2007 crossover hit !! originally released on the now defunct us label flatline records, >i shall not be moved<, is a prime example of dancefloor oriented gospel house at its best.

shack musics sister label ugh rolls out its 2nd release in time for the summer! already finding favour on early promo from djs as diverse as osunlade, rainer trueby, rocco, alix alvarez, franck roger amongst others, this is one deep as fook tune! seed allstarz are bradford james and nef nunez hailing from bean town that is boston and brooklyn, ny respectively! now seeing the light of day shack label head soy mustafa steps out with co-producer alex celler under the kemistry guise to unleash a peak time stomper with the terrace mix, that is aimed straight at the floor with its synth stabs, infectious bassline and melodic keys. on remix duty we have called in boddhi satva who at the moment is doing amazing things alongside alton miller and osunlade working on his album for the yoruba imprint. boddhi kicks things off with a choppy drum pattern rolling it out with some fat bass and deep ass strings which tells you that this brutha truly hails from the mother land

the record was born too early, when house music was still very underground, so consequently it passed into house music history with only a very few discerning djs and collectors owning original us copies. in keeping with chicagos musical history, one of the unsung heros of house has been drafted in to keep the new versions feet firmly on the ground. craig loftis aka grand high priest who along with joe promised land smooth on keys! give the track a more understated could upstate from london back to chicago with 3 killa mixes

excellent timeless detroit electronics

huge support: joe t. vanelli, annie nightingale (bbc radio 1), uk cool cuts charts, ivan smagghe, satoshi tomie, dmc buzz charts, john acquaviva,… hell yeah is building a huge following with its straight up approach of releasing dancefloor destroyers with plenty of attitude! maskio is the alter ego for santos and it toys with all things acid. this project has already produced great tracks like >acid theory<, >analog pressure<, >detroit land< and recent crowd pleaser >human jungle<. >monday< has already seen the light of day on mantra vibes last year but got a bit lost in the world of distribution going bad. however it still reached out through the internet and now due to popular demand its getting a full release

stefan engblom and olle cornéer aka dada life have caused a massive stir in electro house land. or shall we call it la la land? anyway, after impressing releases on imprints like mylos breastfed, john dahlbäcks pickadoll, fatboy slims southern fried and rise records its now time for a kickin release on the alphabet city label platform >this machine kills breakfasts< is as crazy as the title already suggests. lunatic stabs, kickin beats and funky peaktime action, you have never heart before

special random one-sided release! will make the hearts of collectors go boooom! a fairytale is looming on the horizon of the unknown. one must not tame a fairytale. fairytale lies in absence. eremits rebel against the power of the kings and for their romantic nature, secrecy should be the rule. they complain about our reasoning of the land - that we bought socrates for logical dissilusion. but where have all the flowers gone? why matemathics instead of metamathics? pursuing what all philosophy has tried, that is, to avoid metaphysics, and because i feel that tonights peasantry without pleasantry is somehow nervous, wanting for something to make sense - you outrageous calculists - i am going to tell you the secret that underlines what you have heard until now. because all i want to do is hug you close, and all that you want to do is to be hugged - consider it as a gift

with the overnight e.p. phage is heading towards the mild summer nights. >she is the limit< will flatter the ladies with the vocals from david kohlmann >from enliven musik- a labelrelative to upon you records. here descretly a small vocal-house-renaissance is kicked loose, giving hope to the comeback of naturally vibrating vocal chords in modern minimal context. >overnight< how ever is flying on a colourful sound-carpet through the night,waiting to land on any dance floor- meticulously weaved as it is. leaving the dancefloor behind the dreamcatcher mix wakes you up again, ending the dreams the upon you 004 has brought to you overnight. a release in the colours of the summer

back in 1993 munichs into somethin crew started a clubnight entitled maiden voyage. the idea behind it was simple while the successful weekly into somethin sessions set up by michael reinboth, florian keller and theo thoennessen in 1989 kept on providing a take on the current state of dancemusic from a jazz djs point of view the guys wanted to etablish another night dedicated strictly to the classics. jazz, soul, brasil, boogie and disco have been on the musical menu at maiden voyage ever since. michael reinboth and florian keller still love to play a set at maiden voyage every now and then but both guys left the ships bridge to concentrate on their variety of other projects in the late 90s. theo and rainer were joined by roland appel of fauna flash, trüby trio and voom:voom fame instead to form the infamous threepiece that kept on keeping on ever since

deep, dark, minimal and illusive the connection is made. dog tags is the new project from san franciscos lance desardi. after years of keeping up the edgy paranoid rocker persona of land shark he returns here with this ep to a straight up dancefloor workout. the a side has two mixes of the connection, a bleepy, electronic sub bass workout. as it builds you hear a voice that could be the love chile of hal 900 of 2001 a space odyssey beconing you to make the connection. on the flip f is for freak delivers you a deep techno workout from planet detroit remniscent of aril brikhas art of vengence or ames rej

you may know alberto lodde alias dusty kid from his productions under the name duoteque. with five e.p.s under the boxer imprint alberto and his partner andrea ferlin have caused a massive stir in techno land and the latest edition of their hit record <amarcord< has been successfully remixed by nobody else than >my my<. however now it is time for alberto to walk solo paths and after an impressing release on kling klong he does his debut on systematic. >tsunamy< has to be handled with care as this can damage any dancefloor in the world as it is explosive sawtooth bassline peak time action at its best (sorry, cant write anything else). >milk< is the opposite to the flip side, a very sensitive and atmospheric groover in the tradition of border community

big with: damian lazarus, kiki, jimpster, ripperton, p.toile, m.monday daso franke, a fellow well known not only for his fantastic releases on mbf and connaisseur, but also for his furious live-sets, sets out to bring the noise again. after having been inspired by the nerdy world of old-schoolish adventure games for his last release, he uses the dissolute world of absinthe as an afflatus this time. he takes us to a land where alluring little green fairies buzz around and people cut their ears off under absinthe’s massively woozy influence. thujon: the impact of well-made absinthe depends on its concentration of thujon. it can best be described as a kind of heightened clarity of mind and vision. and this is what this track is all about - 100% thujon! louche is the name of the cloudy effect you achieve by adding water to spirits, which contain anise, like absinthe does. this track starts with a low-key groove, which forces up to a mental dance affaire, including a genuine rocking daso-esque break
