piemont had a furious premiere at gedankensport. the nightshift ep caused huge waves of response. frederic möring-sack and christian de jonquieres already had an excellent reputation as solo artists the last years but as piemont they brought up an extraordinary standard of minimal techno. they run their own labels suchtreflex, hammarskjold and fingerfoodmusic. their music is suitable for peak time as well as for after hours and listening comfort. their debut gained great public interest and soon top artists supported as thomas schumacher, oliver huntemann, oliver koletzki, monika kruse, deep dish and umek supported the tracks. heavy rotation accelerated by their next act of greatness at gedankensport and now we are proud to announce the follow-up which is another wonderful milestone of minimalism!

patterns and clr man with a strong debut on sanhajis enable ! big with speedy j, chris liebing & adam beyer! enable recordings is proud to welcome the austrian v e . in the last years he made himself a name with various fat releases such as the one on clr in 2006. now the time has come for another up to date techno release in typical enable style. two peaktime tracks that will definatly win over any dancefloor anywhere. i am sure you agree

supported by: miss kittin, pete tong, john digweed, jimpster, stephan bodzin, sander kleinenberg, laurent garnier, dirt crew, ralph lawson, hot chip, spirit catcher, danny howells, satoshi tomiie, jerome sydenham, prins thomas, phil kieran, toni rios, mistress barbara, paul woolford, tom novy, nick warren, tim deluxe, claudio coccoluto, sian, ben watt and will saul ! oh my god! what is this? incredible but true, this is a collaboration between mister systematic marc romboy and brasilian kompakt figure head gui boratto from brasil. both activists have influenced and created the current electro and house scene impressively and essentially during the last years. now they team up to write a song together and the result is the very emotional track named >eurasia<

a perfect example for the second category is the lnz013 track rezolution. even though limited on 500 white label copies, this hypnotic minimal trip became an incredible public success over the last two months. not only, but especially on ibiza, the feos & miroir production is regularly spinned by all important tech house djs. not set the dance floor alight or keep it ablaze with rezolution is a big faux pas the party crowd hardly could accept. due to the overwhelming demand for the lnz013 (and the fact that its sold out mostly everywhere) the label decided to press a second edition of this legendary tune. unlike the tria track of the limited vinyl, the flipside comes with a re-edit version of rezolution, produced by pascal feos studio mate chris wood. extended to 8.30 minutes of playtime, he retained all stunning sound elements of the original, re-arranged them, gave great new accents and lifted the track cleverly up to an even higher, minimal house energetic level. thats why we dont call it a b-, but aa-side track

newcomer johnny d, comes with his first single release on 8bit records. well known from his release on oslo records a few month ago his last single >manipulation< was featured by a lot of well known artists like ricardo vilallobos, richie hawtin or luciano. >walkman< sounds a bit like an oldschool chicago house track. 100% coolness and satisfaction guaranty when you play the it. on b1 >dejau vu< is another excellent deep frisky track, based on a nice chord line which finds a finish in a playful tricky guitarsolo. b2 is a walkman remix from ray okpara. he tuned the track in a prime time killer ones. big groove reduced to the max!

once you submit yourself to this, there will be no turning back. submissions originated as an offshoot of planet rhythm and takes things to a slightly deeper level. the label has produced a large number of talented producers and has stayed true to its original sound ever since. dj ogi (beast music, planet rhythm, patterns, compressed) takes on patrick dsp from iran. this promising techno head now resides in toronto and is building his career as a jock / producer with steady pass! his last outing on fine audio expanded his ever growing fan base and the submissions will make some more heads turn for sure!

par grindvik is fast tracking through the ranks extremely quickly and is widely considered by many in the techno community to be one of the best producers out there at the moment. his releases over the last few years for adam beyers drumcode imprint as well as for labels such as stockholm ltd particulary his recent nand-grind release have gotten some seriously heavy rotation from some of the most influential djs on the planet. here for adam beyers truesoul imprint he delivers what can only be described as a 3 track masterpiece. the epic 11 minute a side has massive carl craig influences and is a breathtaking deep journey that peaks and drops relentlessly with its morphing mood changes and amazing production

big with: the black dog, rob da bank, keith downey, tomaz, mary anne hobbs, shelley parke and mark eg!! dncns debut ep for dust science shows just how far hes come in the last five years. its a resoundingly strong package with every track a potential a-side. main cut >dust to dust< is a throbbing dubby techno stomper, opening with sulphuric bong noises that give way to oodles of fat wobble. the track is slowly subsumed in layers of fizzing shards of echo. anyone taken with villalobos recent experiments really must check this out

a1: bando, label owner strikes back with palo cero palo characteristic tune of his new sound , soft techno sequences over an electronic base rhythm with breaks for the dancefloor that others would define as hi tech. b1: tim baker. chicago based label owner of elephanthaus and realestate, 20 years djing and more than 10 producing for labels like ovum, nova mute and his owns. creeper has a chord sound that reminds to the classic basic channel / maurizio but with his own imprint, same style of his last release misconceptions of the misunderstood. b2: leandro gámez. dont break my heart is a minimal-tech track with vocals in the line of his last release me implica on circle music.

>too many bugs< on the a side is meant to be an acknowledgement for the software industry. everybody should know the background of bug fixes in the form of patches... but this track is free of bugs, phat bass lines as well as tricky generated sounds will be banged around your ears literally! minx on the b side is forward-pressing as well. the bass line is pushing and the remaining elements are out to do the same with the aim to get even the last deadheads on the dancefloor

for its 20th release, cadenza turns to romanias petre inspirescu, aka pedro. he may be a new addition to the label, and for that matter a new name to many listeners. (until now hes recorded two compilation tracks and one ep, for the labels vinylclub and a:rpia:r.) in his home town of bucharest, romania, however, petre has long been a pivotal figure alongside his frequent accomplices raresh and rhadoo, and in the last two years, his appearances in ibiza and throughout europe have brought his name to many listeners lips, heightening interest in the fertile romanian scene—an unexpected outpost of advanced electronic music whose rise recalls chiles emergence as a central player in contemporary techno, despite its location on the socalled margins !! this 2x12 brings us four another outstanding minimal and hypnotic tunes. essential !!

right after the slowenian takeover with umeks last offering, huntemann graces his confused label alongside his production partner andre walter. crs on the aside is a very hypnotic and stripped down journey thru time and space with killer arpeggios, impressive sound-spheres and a very basic and irresistible rhythm. drp on the flipside is a bit deeper with house trenched drums, a monstrous bass-sound preaching evil to all mankind and tight synthesizer stabs.

at last this much sought after timeless piece sees its original (91) version and (96) re edit on same vinyl for the first time ever. to make it even more interesting a stunning 2008 remix (by up and comer justin wink) is added to the equation. for the new generation as well as for the seasoned conuseur. already being championed by tony humphries to mention one of selected choice djs on it.

firm fave of: ewan pearson, agoria,fabrice lig, ali schwarz, shinedoe, ben watt, jimpster, umek, bodzin !!! pele is back, this time in cooperation with shokh aka dave shokh, dipolder label owner and kiddaz.fm ambassador. peles last release >childhoods end< is one of connaisseur most successful releases so far in 2007, with plenty of licensings for many important summer compilations. thumbs was already released as a limited 250 copies white label release in february this year. finally this great rumbling techno track found its way to connaisseur, to be presented to a bigger audience. >thumbs< is a squeaky, twittery and kickin minimal techno track packed with a bunch of little astonishing moments. already featured on patrick chardronnets grand cru mix, this is more than a perfect mixing tool: a stripped down minimal hymn, no redundant emotions, strictly rhythm a quality ass-shaker! simon baker leeds-based shooting star of 2007. after his amazing releases on playhouse, connaisseur, viva and his own imprint infant, he drops this massively bouncing techno monster of a remix. kind of chicagoesque, kind of daft and massively pushing pure peaktime madness!

dj yellow has been around for many years, most of us all know the story behind his past as bob st claires studio partner. its only a small part of his history and maybe the most interesting part of alain ho tu qui aka dj yellow is the fascinating part of telling stories through his music without any compromising. with >no more enemie< he ends a personal story that we know as >alienation< a sequence of songs all based on personal stories. focus is honoured and pleased to introduce the last part of this book of songs as yellows outstanding ideas about music have been inspirational for many labels and artists over the last years. with his next project called >intermission< he will travel new roads, showcasing once again that yellow is a gifted producer that never fails to deliver

played by dfa, boris dlugosch, phones, maral salmassi, jerry bouthier, cajuan, freeform five… azzido da bass is certainly a busy boy! this year he has been touring the world playing various shows in bejing, london and singapore. and on top of running his own label >luscious sounds< he has managed to find time to write and produce yet another track for it. and here it is >so wrong< feat adrian holtz on vocals. after the success of his last single >lonely by your side< feat. jonny blake of zoot woman with remixes by booka shade and play paul, >so wrong< is set to be a winner especially with its grinding remix from speaker junk. so wrong starts off with a late 80s-tastic m.a.r.r.s influenced beat, until a pleasing thick and squidgy bass line bounces in…

stal is one alias from wj henze., he has been producing seminal, groundbreaking tracks for the last few years now. he has his white tuna imprint where he records under the artist name - stal. here we have the brand new wjh 2 tracker under this moniker with the a side – southern hemisphere recieving big support .- the track itself is an wjh journey that starts with the intro cleverly builds with immense drum edits and a funky synth bassline teasingly building towards the peak drop before all hell breaks loose during and after the break. the reaction on dancefloors has to be seen to be believed with this one. this will be a limited edition so be sure to order early!!

alphahouse welcomes kai to the family, with the dazzling 3-track ep >gakuon< his debut release came last year on portables sud electronic label, and put him on our ones-to-watch list. now kai delivers his second ep and its a killer. with so much music in the world following the same patterns, and producers sucked into using the same cheap tricks in the studio, its refreshing to hear that some people out there are still capable of independent and abstract thought. we hope you agree. >ac< is a mutant deep techno piece equally suitable for dark club mayhem as it is for sunday brunch with the in-laws. seriously, try it out at both places and if it doesnt work the next beer is on us. >spacetravel< is exactly that. a micro-sampled ride though the cosmos. tiny vocal spurts and playful melodies surround a throbbing bassline. stripped just to the groove and not over-arranged, theres plenty of room to let your imagination roam free. >gravity< is one of those special inside tracks that we search so long and hard for. delightfully simplistic, yet incredibly groovy. its amazing how much you can do with a few well-placed sounds, isnt it?

its been a productive month for the mood ii swing boys. the follow up to last months passing time, a collaboration with vocalist lauren, is a fantastically deep disco record that moves and shakes along with the best of them. the bouncy, wobbling bassline of the main mix simply demands to be grooved to, while laurens husky vocal glides along the airy pads and cheeky synth stabs. the dub foregoes the bassline of the original, opting instead for a more top heavy sound and taking the record in a pleasantly techy direction

watch out here comes trouble! soul of man are back with the final release taken from their highly acclaimed re licked album and arguably they ve saved the best til last. rammed with ragga twins ruffness, trouble has been causing havoc worldwide since its inclusion on the finger lickin thang 4 mix whilst the deepcut remix completes the package giving the original an almighty run for its money! limited edition red vinyl!

at long last the massive >spellbound< gets a release 1-sided upfront promos from boss get in quick!! with that killer piano solo, this is one of grants most quality records yet

supported by brett johnson, woody, dj t, chris duckenfield and laurent garnier !! >the last shooter< uses mind bending funk to tell the story of three people ending an epic day/night in a blaze of jagermeister glory. the most descriptive element of this tracky adventure would be the misguided, off kilter synth twists that give the listener the illusion of drunkenness and vertigo. backed with a spine of latin percussion and tweaked low rez hi hats this a side packs a punch that can be only compared to >the last shooter< of the night.funk flows on when you flip it to side b. fongtom rides along with a thick walking bass line that weaves grinds with some of ferreyras signature percussion. a playful melody serves as the memory game hook that wont fade away even after a post joint meltdown or a night of mtv top 40 abuse

follow up ep to the last hammer >feuervogel< !! supported by jesse rose, dirt crew, matt star, sian, pheek, tiefschwarz, prins thomas and many many more in the same musical league

dave dk has been buried in his studio the last couple of months fine tuning his debut album lights and colours for moodmusic. its almost ready and here we have the first single coming on strong from this talented producer. sweet yellow takes on where he left with okinawa dance on mood limited and midi rain on playhouse slow building, complex grooves keeping the floor nailed from the first moment on, building an anthem with strong synthlines and his trademark sounddesign of effects and percussion. prism is more housier in the beetz department, while building on vocal snippets and chugging keys keeping the tension on high alert. taking the best of the past and combining it with futuristic themes we are sure dave will be up for big things in the future
