homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<

the first aroma release of the year is definitely worth the long wait. originally uk singer natalie williams released this song on her late 2006 album secret garden but wonder boy giom (london) who beefed up already swirl peoples last single a few months ago has now done his magic tricks again and housed up this song with grace. this is not your average deep house song but this how vocal deep house sounds anno 2008: clever beats, wiggly keys and a heavenly vocal by natalie to make this all to a perfect dance floor blend. and now you are ready for the spring with this new aroma release!

detroit artists seth troxler & patrick russell join forces for their first ep >valt trax< on circus company in what is obviously a successful piece of teamwork. seth troxler, now living in berlin, has been attracting attention with his spacey, funky atmospheric releases on labels such as spectral, items & things (as thrill cosby), omarss fxhe ( as young seth), esperanza, beretta grey, leftroom, and dumb unit, moving into more and more interesting territories with every one of his releases. the idea behind the ep was to recreate a vibe identical to that of the heyday of underground dance music and instant insanity of the early 90s on a record that sounds like it was lost in a dusty vault for 20 years and just rediscovered.

no worries! theres no doubt the last fred falke project still reaches the same quality as all of his collaborations with alan braxe over the years, reaching the same height of catchiness that omega man did a couple of years ago. this cut is off the music for my friends ep and every joint on the ep is just as great in its own way.

hum along is one of the earliest productions of mr. mwambe. he started the track in the beginning of 2004 and for the last 4 years it has always been a very important and personal part of his life. only brontosaurus intelligence & ca$h were able to get this masterwork for this lickyboom- boom-down house 12. to complete the commotion full time nice guy, father and electronic innovator move d from the beautiful city of heidelberg sat down to deliver a spontaneous disco version of the track – reanimating the fresh and impro vibe of late 90ies german disco / house productions. the b-side >greatest love< continues where artos mudhutma 12 ends, celebrating the unholy passion of deep housemusic. voila.. a limited number of covers will be hand-printed with another nice torso. as always.

huge new 12inch from the master himself! >dont panic – its automatic< – a title that is in many ways descriptive for a track that fires the creative starting shot for anthony rother in 2008. recently having been not more than consistent, rother heralded a stylistic reorientation of his music, however, with last years programmatic >moderntronic< ep. on the a-side, >dont panic<, with the vocoder voices that have come back after a long time now, stays closely associated with the sound and the aesthetic of datapunk - a unique vision of a futuristic abstraction between techno, disco and electro. the dataclash mix on the b-side then formulates the stylistic new beginning with a consistency that leaves the listener speechless. rarely before on datapunk has homage been paid to the imperative of energy so rigorously. going against the grain with extremely surprising noise effects, the dataclash mix is tailor-made even for reductionist dj sets in its psychoactive darkness. a thrilling foretaste of the third rother album on datapunk, announced for the coming year

so at last its time for misericord number two and a track we re really proud and excited to be releasing. hot on the heels of al ushers mighty gnanfou ep, mugwump deliver their finest work to date. a 107bpm club monster (for us balearic grandads this is not a contradiction in terms) entitled boutade. an extended intro with marcato strings and timpani builds the drama until a massive bassline drops and the dancefloor gets stupid. on the flip myself, naughty and sasse turn in a chugging prescription esque dub for good measure.

splitt ep by dave dk, holger zilske and autuori with finest minimalistic tech trax
