adam beyers mad eye imprint has been the quietest of his 3 in terms of its output over the last few years but it has by no means made he least impact. the 5 releases so far have had massive dj support from across the techno scene with the last release being played by a huge cross section of djs. this time adam has really turned on the style with these 2 tracks with the a side china girl being a funky killer with its grooving bassline and drum groove immediately bringing you in before the addictive wooden block melody and warped edits creating an addictive intensity that put simply - just works. hear it on a system and see the dancefloor react and youll see where were coming from

the release of memor007 marks the return from hiatus of memory boy records and also the final chapter in the history of mark verbos >big brother< after last years minimal techno mixes on csm and the original release in the late 90s. semblance factor(john selway) provides a dark fusion of jacking old school house rhythms, modern electro and twisted effects that accentuate the paranoid lyrical content. franz & shape give us an energetic dj tool which showcases their club-friendly electro-house/ebm/italo stylistic combination. finally from mark himself, an excellent classic acid house version in the same manner as his current and seriously effective live performances using the original roland analog synths and drum machines of the era.

the mojuba sublabel returns with a repress of an almost forgotten classic. we are speaking about the timeless masterpiece >merluche ideale< by rené et gaston, maybe better known as dobre & zki, jark prongo, the good men or chocolate puma. this track has been an unbeatable anthem for many djs as it combines deep melodies and and groove you cant resist. it became very sought after because kevin >master reese< saunderson included it in his fantastic x-mix for studio!k7 named >transmission from deep space radio<. listen to the beauty of it and dance your sorrows away! the b-side >pouah!< from the original release on pssst comes as a floor-dedicated edit by labelowner don williams, sounding like early carl craig is dating Âme, unbelievable that this one stayed undiscovered the last decade!

4 track ep with updated versions of well known classic tracks

merry, amusing nonsense - some of the attributes used to describe the last kritik records. these terms are unlikely to be appropriate here: the young sebastian simmert from the outskirts of berlin has submitted his first own production. noticable are the influences of techno producers from recent years and the work of this 22 year old demonstrates he knows the whos who. is this an up and comer? the first track is in the tradition of pumping bodzin/romboy works, the second references 2step, including the bad little ravemonster. finally, a hymne for the early morning hours, for the more contemplative dancefloor - enjoy while sipping bionade. beyond minimalism

its been well over a year since front rooms last offical release (look out for deadsets >keep quite< & lost property for some undercover front room action). here the label bounces back with two prime-time cuts from riva starr (aka madox), here wearing his jackin house hat, he shows why both front room & dirty bird are supporting his releases. picking up on the sound of jesse rose, switch and claude vonstroke, while getting plays by them all at the same time. look out for future releases by riva starr on front room very soon.

heres two new uptempo instrumental tracks from lindstrom just in time for the summer. breakfast in heaven sounds like something edward grieg could have made if he ever got a chance to work with sequencers. blast of loser is a percussive track with distorted clavinet-feedback on top of simple rolling drums. bol has been remixed by mungolian jet set last year, but its about time to release the original version

jerrald james aka jerry the cat musical career is a typical example for detroit music of the last decades having played percussions with parliament and disco outfit cj & company he early came in contact with the first wave of detroit house and techno producers and began to experiment with these new sounds. his productions today are still evident for the unique mixture of detroit soul history and futuristic electronics. therefore this new sound signature is exemplary for the detroit sound as it skillfully fuses the free flowing jazz inflected vocals of genevieve with jerralds rootsy percussions play, accoustic live bass and a skanking, hypnotic house beat. flip over for the dubby instrumental track vanished
