the princess of hardcore strikes again with thunder and lightning!

scott grooves comes with a sweet ass 12inch on clone. 2 sublime tracks by the guy that was one of the main influences for many people. one of the most independent minds in the whole us house and techno scene. for the last 10 years he only released on his own labels. and after his masterpiece >the journey collection< we are proud to present these 2 new cuts that are just as timeless and good as that monumental record! these two tracks are a warm up for the upcoming riddum collection scheduled later this year and remind us very much of his journey collection , but also to the other peoples place (warp & clone) and even a bit of metro area. maybe we shouldnt compare because these tracks stand on their own.. but this ultimate dopeness for the dance floor! must have

fourth and last single to be taken from ronis album, >feel the heat< is featured on the cd, >move up< on the flip is exclusive to this 12 inch!

after the success of the last cirez d release on jel fords jericho label we now have a perfect follow up from another top swedish producer - joel mull. joel has been firmly established on the scene for over 10 years now but lately has been doing some amazing projects for labels such as audiomatique, saved and cocoon. here he delivers the perfect jericho two tracker with the a side - viewpoint having a supremely funky bassline, lush chords and catchy hooks .

tweaked monosynth lines and rich polyphonic pads are featured on most tracks, and single note patterns of various timbre often reinforce the grooves. the title track on the a-side is as simple as effective and the name relates to some of the percussion parts which reminded them of a rodent digging a hole in the ground. first on the b-side is >if i was a man<, a slow-down groover with a dark and funky atmosphere, inspired by barbara alcindor s abstract spoken words, becomes more and more twisted towards the end of the track. last but not least, >zig zag<, which is named after the wobbly monosynth phrase which is being tweaked throughout the tune. all tracks speak of sweet, riding rhythms and nights full of action. pure quality

adam beyers drumcode label has its ten year anniversary this year and there will be many releases as well as a massive compilation album project later in the year featuring brand new tracks from many of the label s key artists. one of the newest additions is the producer of this new release - tor lowkrantz or mighty thor as he is known. this 4 tracker again demonstrates the open musical policy of the label. the last hardcell release was a fine piece of work demonstrting influences from both hard and minimal techno sensibilities. this release focuses more on the harder end of the scale but still remains fresh with its almost old jeff mills and rob hood influences. all 4 tracks have a fat groove and are saturated with funk yet still pack serious punch in any set. another winner from drumcode

franco cinelli, one of the most gifted new producers coming out of argentina, presents here six uncompromisingly quirky club bombs. his previous releases on milnor modern and telegraph have just warmed you up to his sound. now dive in to >profundo amor< and get familiar with these intricately programmed club stompers. you can call it minimal, but when these tracks go ripping through a big pa, thats the last word that will be on your mind. with the opening track >flog<, you get a taste of the freaky after-hours grit that alphahouse records is becoming known for. >m26< is a robotic hair-raiser for the new generation. think minus on steroids. >twisted machine< features a stompy groove and some snare work to drive the dancefloor. >vertientes< is a great dj-tool with a low-slung bassline and dancing synths. >c3d< bounces along with a razor bassline and some tricky transitions. and >project 64< finishes off the lp with a synth line that falls out of the ceiling and straight onto the dancefloor. truly inspiring stuff here, from franco. no filler tracks. all of these are a-sides

next brilliant techhouse shaker by berkson & what after the great >the dig< on pokerflat 70 !! supported by anja schneider, matthias tanzmann, dj t., james flavour and karotte

in our opinion alex bau is one of the best harder techno producers out there. his material over the last 5 years has been both energetic and groundbreaking. his material for zenit has been particulrly good and this is new release is is no exception. both tracks are different but equally effective. the a side is a driving hard edged techno cut with its pounding kick drum and sharp percssion. the track is punctauted with catchy synth riffs and stabs to great effect. the flip side is truly monstrous with its dark dirty warehouse feel and fat sub bass and string edits. great, great record

this year adam beyer s seminal drumcode label celebrates its 10th anniversary. to commemorate this there will be a wealth of material coming out this year as well as some special drumcode parties after the summer that will feature hardcell and grindviks amazing live act. this follows their live cd release from the end of last year. as part of this the gain series will now continue with more material from these 2 and this is the first 4 tracker to continue the series. the tracks themselves are a fresh and varied ranging from the hard synth driven anthem that is salt and the harder driving rhythm gate bay to the exceptionally subtle groove with deep chords that is plankton to the sublime fish tank with its clever building feel and uplifting pads

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

dutch edit master loud-e drops another piece of hot wax on steve koteys objects of desire label. this is one hot version of the wellknown i feel love which still sets dancefloors on fire worldwide! music that will last longer then we will be able to get our feet of the floor! b-side is a more obscure tracl called tommorows, todays cut. another disco/ house bomb that already have been played by i-f, steve kotey, faze action and several others. sweeeet!

another great big hits compilation of the rolling stones!! full coloured gatefold edition!!

classic dj rush track... last copies

another serious result from our warehouse rummaging! si begg is a man of many musical personalities, his list of aliases is impressive to say the least (bigfoot, buckfunk3000, lenny logan, s.i. futures, zygmunt janowski...). but one of his oldest, and certainly one of his strangest, is cabbage boy. in fact i confess i am old enough to remember his releases in the early 90s on cassette tape under the umbrella of the >cabbage head collective< (which also included such techno notables as cristian vogel & tim wright) - and pretty mental they were too. the lost tapes vol. 1 doesnt disappoint on that front, containing such gems as a remix of 80s pop mysteries frank chickens>we are ninja<, and an electronic cover version of >king kong< by frank zappa (ask your parents...). totally out there, but totally cool at the same time...highly recommended to anyone looking for something with some real personality amidst the hard-drives full of faceless (and usually nameless) digital fluff

the original mix by duomek takes the form of their musical ideals: house, deep house and minimal. no doubt it aims to the most select dance floors. jon gurd is the one chosen to make the first remix, that for sure will make a lot of harm in the floors. talking about jon gurd is to talk about one of britain?s top class artist of the last years that djs all around the world, produces exquisite music, hold the label killawatt and runs his own program in ministry of sound radio. his productions are habitual in sets of artists like hernan cattaneo, james zabiela o carl cox. tech house of its best of purest kind. finally we find the vision of mintone through inigo ourezabals eye, the 50 percent of monomachine. this dj and producer from zaragoza has been recognized in this last two years as one of the best artist in the spanish music scene. paradigma, wit, leftroom o immigrant are some of the labels that have released his work. this time he bets for a very effective techno that will catch the ear of the lovers of this style.

re-jigging the classic andy weatherall production, smoke belch sabres 2 paradise re-crafts the 1993 anthem into a tough tech house groove more suited for the modern dancefloor. demand for this bootleg has been growing since last december when a handful of copies were passed out to key tastemaker djs

new zealand’s finest returns to king unique’s curfew imprint magik johnson’s last cross-genre mutant release on curfew >asylum sneaker< picked up fans from adam beyer to claude von stroke, sasha to jesse rose and found it’s way onto danny tenaglia’s latest compilation. so we at curfew are grinning from ear to ear as we introduce it’s twisted younger brother >straight face<, complete with two superb remixes to give you a package that we’ve had great pleasure road testing over the last few weeks.

monster debut album release ! state of the art quality deep house 2008 ! big with: chaton, ripperton, quarion, baaz, knarf skipson, omega midi, agnès...

supported: kiki, len faki, anja schneider, monika kruse, brothers vibe, till von sein and many more…here it is!second ep by berlin producer and dj p. toile on channels records. her last record had a great feedback from producers and djs all over the world.this time claudia together with tigerskin aka alex kruger produced amazing chilled and deep track migration.nice melodies, clock like hihats and delayed vocals making the tracks great for early morning parties.remixes are made by koljah known from his great vidab releases and marcin czubala from mobilee records.both mixes are amazine mixtures of techno, house and minimal. great tools for every dj.

last years breakspoll best single winners far too loud take their audio toolbox and set about dismantling the vocal monster innocent from the album. featuring the distinctive vocals of yolanda and some ungodly sonic trickery, bass action and arrangement tweakery this mix is really quite special.

fresh fish presents an ep which is so far that you don t even notice how close it is. colombian paulo olarte is coming with a 4 tracker piece of vinyl to make you dance and and get you in touch with deep love. passion in the midpoint this beats and pads are gonna make you sweat. hypnotizing tracks of the latenight excursion class, featuring layers on layers to create a carpet of sound that slowly gets your mind to upper levels from which it s difficult to come back. the vocals let us imeditly think of “love on the street” and “solo tu” (including isoleé remix), last one raised quite a storm and was played in every afterhour all over the globe and appeared on many compilations like sven väths ibiza mix cd “the sound of the 8th season” or dinky’s “get lost” mix. so romantic has never left the hamburg label and it seems that it is here to stay. “tan lejos tan cerca” what else can we say

ah, its time for some eerie minimal techno again. dry, percussive, hypnotic, trippy. when sunday turns into monday and the week starts exactly like the last one ended – on the dancefloor, propelled by a thumping bassdrum. dima is a bar 25 regular and has released on beatsreet (another berlin institution of endless afterhour journeys) before. this one is his bar 25 debut, tried and tested on various occasions and legendary sasomo moments. his four tracks dive deep into a nocturnal techno habitat, where percussion- sounds fade away in the twilight and the groove just won’t stop. there is no way out, just give in to its pleasures

after 2 smashing eps on switch and sinden s imprint counterfeet, radioclit is back with their brand new signature sound secousse on mental groove records. inspired by the street sounds of angola, pretoria or abidjan, secousse is a future afrobeat anthem and is currently being turned into a vocal monster starring all the great singers and rappers who came and tore the roof of the infamous secousse worldbeat residency that radioclit has been doing at the notting hill arts club over the last few months. backed up by remixes from crookers aka the biggest house producers these days, it also features a remix by bablee, a legend from the coupe-decale scene hailing out of ivory coast and author of the world wide hit sous les cocotiers .

gideon is very well known for promoting his anticlub- parties in his hometown eindhoven and around the netherlands. he released a hell of 12”es on his own label lessismorerecordings, but also releases on other labels like “rebecca loos” on weave music (under alexis tyrel) or just recently “all day all night“ on sino, hong kong. after his 2 pre-lauches on kanzleramt “first impression” (ka141) & “last depression” (ka143), heiko laux picked the tracks for this full length album out of 2000 demo-skits of gideon

and here we have another traxtorm hit by dj mad dog, nasty!! produced by the stunned guys

simon baker & jamie jones have been long time dj s in england s underground electronic music scene, who have within the last couple of years emerged as respected producers and have seen their works signed to labels such as crosstown rebels, 20/20 vision, freak ‘n’ chic, poker flat, cocoon, get physical and connaisseur just to name a few. kaskazi is their first collaborative effort and proves their individual strengths are even more formidable when unified in the studio. the three versions of kaskazi all invoke a different mood and style, but still retain that jubilant flavor of the original that caught the ears of m.a.n.d.y. and dj t. early in the summer. praise has come from all corners of the dj spectrum, as the combination of a galloping funk fused bass line, with the infectious vocals and clever effects have erupted many club dance floors into a frenzy.

support by:andre galluzzi, gregor tresher, sebastien leger, oliver koletzki, nick warren, terry lee brown junior, roberto rodriguez , anderson noise, hernan cattaneo, robert babicz aka rob acid is back on circle music. the last strike from robert on circle music was the great and lyrical remix of dan corcos >new world<. he also convinced with his atmospherical work on way out wests >spaceman< on hope recordings and ruled on sytematic with the big album release >a cheerful temper<. robert, who is one of germanys very early techno and electro heroes, appeared on the last cricle music compilation with the unique >invasion< and will alo appear on the next circle compilation >the mechanic sound of nature<. for this it is only logical for the co-founder of shortcut records to release his latest two dancefloor sensations on circle.

pierre j returns to the defected release schedule after a 5 year absence, powers that be funky planet being his last for the label. what a record to return with, this is instant impact from the pulsing bassline and accordion loop of the original through the pure thunderous roll of the hertz petter mix and exactly the potency of club music to send us out of the summer heat in to the last 3 months of 2008 where this cut is destined to rule for the full duration.

since the akai s1000 came onto the market in 1988, loletta holloway and love sensation in particular must be one of the most sampled voices of the last 20 years. cevin fisher anthemic treatment of it is back on playlists too, toughened up with a trademark tribal dub from dj chus, with housier takes on the b-side. a very big set of mixes, this will seriously move floors for a long to come, simply awesome.

sawtooth - lately this term appears quite often and not only in reviews for the new dapayk solo album „devil’s house“. with „acid pornofski“ he demonstrates that the tracks on his album do not mark the end of the story. wrapped in a single release with „right here with me“ and „how low“ on the a-side you can see dapayk’s true colors on the very b-side. and of course it’s a lot easier to do so on a single. like back in the best days of rave you hear the endless modulation of a monstrous acidbassline. everybody who has experienced one of dapayk’s live pas knows how sweaty these sets are about to end. and for the last few months „acid pornofski“ is neither seldom nor randomly the peak

hot on the heels of her last feel good smash these times, comes kimaras latest jammer far away, with two very distinctive remixes, the first by distant musics jon cutler. one might think we picked jon because of his coincidental label/song title relation, but one would be wrong! we picked jon because his superb production skills. the man behind the worldwide triumph its yours, as well as many others, brings a good bit o bounce to the dance floor on this remix. his lush piano chords, funky percussion, and synth zaps are a perfect bed for kimaras strong vibrant vocals to lay upon. he also turns in a truly slick dub for those looking for a bit less vox. for those looking for more tech, one of our favorite new dance producers out of japan, hideo kobayshi, slings us with a tougher, warpier punch (and dub) that ll get hearts and feet movin in synch.

big with: davide squillace, lee burridge, steve lawler, laurent garnier, ante perry,katotte,thomas schumacher, shinedoe..italys young odds label has been gathering a lot of support over the last few years with its string of quality tech inspired release featuring artists such as elia casetti orchestra, the dolphins, ajello, luke solomon and alex dolby. this time its the term of duo martin patino and enzo elia to step up with the release of their >metamorfosi di narciso ep<.enzo elias previous release for the likes of one louder berlin and mantra vibes have seen his standing as producer and dj grow at a rapid rate and teaming up with half pervvian partner martin patino.it seems the pair are determined to further make their mark with this outstanding ep of late nicht electronic club cuts.lead track >metamorfosi di narcisio< is a stripped minimal affair that draws you in from the opening bars.sparse and tight drums lay down the base for a slowly building intense track heavy aon percussion and full of a atmosphere despite its simple and spacey arrangement.

after a one-sided promo release earlier this year, here are the massive remixes of gold, diaz & young rebels – >open sesame<. following their big success with the felix remake “dont you want me” last year, this time they worked on this classic by leila k. after the thomas gold & francesco diaz mix is already causing some serious dancefloor madness over the last weeks, get now ready for two remixes of some heavyweights of the international house scene. on the one side, we have eddie thoneick together with his buddy jens mangold, delivering a driving progressive peak-time bomb with a huge 2-minutes-break. on the other side, tom novy works with even more of the vocals and some strong old-school elements, but in a modern context. special rerelease

its all about housemusic its a spiritual thing! this statement from a former classic house recording fits perfectly to yves murasca and his attitude towards housemusic. his entire life had been constantly spinning around that uplifting housegroove from 120 to 130 beats per minute. although the munich based dj and producer is standing right at the beginning of his musical career he is already looking back at a number of well noticed projects. besides far more than 20 remixes only in the last two years for top artists like bob sinclar, barbara tucker, milk & sugar, jean claude ades or lee cabrera he became also a recommended radio dj with his own casa nostra radio show and due to the increasing demand on his club dj skills also more and more international bookings are taking place in the meantime.

industrial hardcore/speedcore sampler by anarchi3 & middle m, brutal stuff presented on necrosociety!!

over the last 4 years mouseville has seen eric prydz (under his cirez d moniker) deliver some truly landmark moments in music with tracks such as knockout and control freak really setting the bench mark for others to follow. here we have an equally devastating track only this time produced by paulo mojo and jim rivers - two producers whos starts have been very much on the rise over the last couple of years with both of them having produced killer tracks for labelks such as oosh, misfit and saw. the track is an absolute killer - a driving groover with its catchy vocal refrains, sharp drums and funky bassline. on the flip the eric prydz remix turns the original on its head with deep chords and pads creating a very moody yet powerful reinterpretation. big support from eric prydz, sebastian leger, john digweed, paulo mojo and steve angello

a double a with two slices of bumping broken french fonk akedam and apprendre from the lyon based producer who has been making some noise online over the last couple of years via myspace and ampsoul radio in particular. he has recently produced a track for maspyke (abb) mc hanif jamyls summer release krushed grapes but this is his first solo vinyl release.

limited to 500 copies, coloured vinyl !! one of detroits most respected names, mike huckaby serves up a floor burning epic with his s y n t h mix. it opens up with killer shards of metallic chords, coloured in deep analogue emotion until the last second when a kick nearly explodes and drops low end so sinister your heart may skip a beat. this well crafted array of tone could only come from mikes expert use of the legendary waldorf wave synthesizer, with his timeless rendition of juans classic this is destined to be legendary. after the smoke clears were transported into ambient territory with intrusions lengthy 18 minute ambient voyage. the textures fade into pantone colours before opening up into a silvery lo-fi sonic palette, a sort of slow motion metamorphosis you could only compare to the works of thomas köner or wolfgang voigts, gas project. this is love in lo-fi

next brand new ep on the infamous artillery imprint from the amok. extremely hard techno as we used to hear from these boys. hardtrax bringing the devastating kicks and noises. hardtrax teams up with amok, darkside9878 and x-tension to be bring you this very special 4 tracker vinyl
