after a long time friendship and countless over-the-top partycrashes together, we are very happy to welcome our friend and one of our fave djs, mr. jens bond on highgrade. after his vinyl debut with guido schneider on steve bugs pokerflat recordings last year this is jens bond s second record to hit the streets. jens, who managed to establish himself as one of the true top djs within the berlin house scene, delivers a 12inch which represents his musical (and spinning) style of electronic dancemusic very well - dry, compulsive grooves, a very minimal-housy structure with deep aesthetics, perfect sound design and an overall superb float between the hard and the soft, exactly what we wanted from this guy and more!

the last time these boys dropped a track like this it was immediately picked up by defected! you all know ron hall & the mutherfunkaz this new one from the hustle camp looks like it could it could do exactly the same thing. dj spen has teamed up with british gospel choir vmc & this result is an uplifting soulful bomb, we joke not. featured already on 2 defected comps before it drops! it includes the awesome vocal mix &the dub with a piano & bassline to die for

anders trentemøller, the shooting star of 2005, needs no further introduction. he has been stringing together hit after hit, most recently the -nam nam ep- on poker flat which offered an initial insight into his upcoming album -the last resort-. now the new 12- brings the first full-blown single outtake. the featured album track is -always something better – a vocal version featuring richard davis - and has a calmer, almost dreamy mood compared to the club tracks he s released. an easy-going groove, some wonderful celesta chords (hand-played by anders) and the typical trentemøller sound melt with the outstanding vocals by richard davis, who already graced swayzak s -speak easy- on k7. furthermore, davis is known for his longplayers on punkt musik and kitty-yo as well as an array of singles and remixes.a brilliant track with a beautiful atmosphere.of course the a1 slot is reserved for the -trentemøller remix-, a true dancefloor anthem. a kicking bass drum, quirky sounds and the -trentemøller twist- make this a real summer hit. while the a1 mix is a reduced vocal version, you ll find the -dub mix- on b1. to top things off, the one and only matthew herbert contributes his very own interpretation on the -bubble mix-. he disrupts and rearranges the original sounds and song structures to create a new unsettled, but fascinating soundscape

busted speaker brew is the second installation by the afternoon coffee boys on clink recordings. this new minimal rocker walks the fine line between minimal and techno with acb’s signature drum programming and short decay instrumentation. the afternoon coffee boys, aka tim xavier and tony rohr, released their debut collaborative release on clink001 last year with one of the bigger eps of 2005: dark blend. their follow-up ep on cocoon, >glitches brew<, was released at the beginning of this year and was a huge success. their music has been praised by top artists such as adam beyer, richie hawtin, sven väth and marco carola, and they show promise as one of the new leading duos of 2006. this ep is an excellent release as acb continues to push the minimal edge with their techno influences by keeping the tracks rhythmic and driving while maintaining the slow, deep and funky pace that djs are currently pursuing in their sets

if there is one overall trend to spot in the wide fields of electronic music over the last years, it is the reversion to emotion. in a time where tracks are becoming more and more anonymous tools, melodies, references to pop music and recognition are seen as a design element and not as a blemish. to be honest, this recurrence was desperately needed, because music was always at best when feelings and not the mathematic of clicks were at the centre of attention. soda inc. reached this point of intersection already with their debut album >full moon< one and a half years ago. with intense anthems such as flight su 118 babak shayan and jon silva have created the deepest and most pictorial vision dub related techhouse had to offer to our hearts and souls. a solid basis to build up for the early summer of 2006....
