following the success of last years >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep for siteholder records and the recently released >filthy fibber< ep on uncut, the duo of billy dalessandro and daniel mnookin have teamed up once again under the slutbox moniker to deliver the >backseat driver< ep. switching up the rotation, the ep kicks off with los angeles based producer jason emsleys >lick it, smack it, rub it down remix<, a filthy number that no amount of sludge can adequately describe. a subtle, yet effective rhythm section keeps the dance floor busy while the dirty synth overtones grow larger and larger until they have conquered ones brain synapses. feeding off of the original vocal and adding some x-rated lines of his own, if pornographic techno wasnt a genre before, it is now. the original is pure slutbox at its best. deep bass, seductive rhythm, addictive loops, and a spanish guitar combine to make this one another club killer. as if you had a choice, please make your way to the dance floor - the night has begun. rounding out the vinyl release is st. louis via berlin dj/producer butane (a.k.a. andrew rasse). known for his widely praised work on his own alphahouse label, as well as top techno imprints dumb unit, num, and rrygular, butane has long been a friend of the siteholder crew and takes this opportunity to make his debut on the remix tip. deep, druggy, and hypnotic, butanes >percocet remix< is what one has come to expect from the late night veteran. whether its early evening, time to jack, or after-after hours, the >backseat driver< ep is an all-in-one tech fueled necessity

supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

although only 23 years of age englishmen cris barratt is already considered one of the hottest new producers on the block. what makes him really special is his unique blend of sounds, which is not melodic house, minimal, tribal, rock electro or techno, but at the same time it is all of that. two tracks on this ep are the best reflection of chris >get maximal< approach: he builds the story slowly, upgrades the basic theme bit by bit, then weaves in another leading theme and spices the blend with unexpected small but effective element from the late 90s. the result of this blending is very rich, warm sound, perfect for the parties somewhere at the seaside. re-release

bad landing is a throbbing mass of dub reduction fuelled by all the space and compression the very capable hands over at dubplates and mastering managed to cram into one side of vinyl. beyond the gargantuan bass weight you find yourself in the presence of a towering valve organ, a looped refrain slowly opening up to reveal a hook thats as catchy as it is incongruous. the a side is substantially more robust and propulsive, fine matallic dollar constructing itself out of sparse percussion and an elongated bassline thats as warm and destructive as you could possibly imagine. the chords here are gnarly and disfigured, slowly disintegrating into an oscillating wave of late night wonkiness that finds mr stott exploring yet another stylistic side street, emerging once again with his own utterly individual sound.

respected uk remixer and house producer charles webster rips into one of the most played tracks from dennis ferrers hailed album the world as i see it. how do i let go started out as a soulful r&b tune but charles turned it inside out. on his club mix, charles removes the soulfulness and injects a more electric lounge flavor. his deep mix is just that, a profound pumpy, warped & heady affair. both mixes put a whole new twist on the single and are ripe for the early or late set.

cut the crap, straight to the essence. lizm04 is among us, essential dancing and listening courtesy of ahmet sisman, our own private istanbul/brussels/essen connection. some pure dancefloor pleasure hidden in a-side track hiyan, multilayered, quirky luvly trippiness: one surely aiming for the boxes of djs digging the onur ozer vibe of late. the other side (why call it a b-side anyway ?) goes for a slightly deeper approach, guzzling in the vibe of a few hours later down the line in your favourite afterparty .... but hey why not just use the authors own words to sum it all up : this is surely: >dance for the moment<

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. born in liverpool, his love for the music was passed on to him by his father, a record collector and former dj, who introduced him to crate-digging at the early age of eight. his roots stem from black music. hip-hop will become his musical bases before he discovers the acid-house explosion at the mythical hacienda in manchester. he naturally starts mixing in the late 80s/early 90s, playing a mixture of rare groove, deep-jazz, deep house, etc. he then turns to production and is noticed by gilb-rs fine-tuned ears who signs him on the spot. releases on labels like wavetec and mule musiq are planned further in the year. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything

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.
