after their great debut >motzbaz / indeed< on afao recordings and the following 12inches >hello kool nice< and <langenthal ep< on quintessentials recordings, which found its way into the bags and charts of djs like quarion, laurent garnier, jimpster and many more, jagged strikes back with a 12 on bonzzaj recordings. this single also contains a hot remix by the dutch multi-talented man aardvarck, one half of the rednose district. jaggeds productions are restrained and minimal in the right way - they doesnt let things get overloaded. they focuses mainly on straight beats and functional house music but always with the right ingredient of soul and rawness. the title track ten to twelve is a heavy cut with a lot of disco influences, funky basslines, cool house-grooves and surprising changes all over the track. the remix of ten to twelve comes from aardvarck, who releases on rushhour, kindred spirits and delsin. he transformed the original in an broken beat stomper, which sounds like it emerged straight out of londons co-op. the b-side contains chicago, a deep house number with forward going percussions, warm strings, oldscool-house-vocals and a slight acid flavour and last but not least the track an orange drippin, which takes you with its deep synth, percussions, basslines, bells and things in the deeper shades of…jagged nation. hot shit gesundheit

>three of a kind< are soul renegades, sam irl and stratasoul who deliver 3 soulful housejams for fresh minute musics 6th release.

after a year claudio mate is back on klap klap! and during this year he has worked on his profile, making it stronger and more known around the world. his lush but driving and emotional detroit inspired techno has really been gaining strength within the circuits of those who know. this record will not make his reputation weaker for sure. we believe it will make some heads nodding in the right direction. let the music speak for itself!

zernell and goodking are back with the second volume of their grimy edits series! this ones a monster with a ferocious double action edit that we challenge any disco head to id! a little motown, a little funk, another essential release from grimy.

as with all diynamic releases, we keep the text short and let the music do the talking… and boy does diynamic 034 talk! the fourth installment in our remix:session series sees two of the most in form producers of today get to grips with tracks from solomun’s highly acclaimed debut album ‘dance baby’. we are excited to welcome ‘mr. 2009&#8242,,,,, joris voorn, who delivers a stunning rework of ‘after rain comes sun’, and ‘mr. 8bit’, our funky brother, gorge who turns in an equally impressive remix of ‘boys in the hood’. shaking house grooves and funk fueled basslines rule the day, and we couldn’t think of start to 2010! enjoy!

>fall into me< finally marks the release of the last and keenly awaited single from jay haze aka fuckponys masterpiece >let the love flow<. the album title says it all - >fall into me< sounds incredibly light, yet catchy and full of energy - a free fall onto the worlds softest pillow. this is how house must sound to lovers. house with soul can be taken literally in this case, as jay has called upon the expert support of laila tov and chela simone. the latterenjoys an international standing and has already lent her sublime, very unique voice to kikis hit single >good voodoo<. here she combines inextricably with jays compact sound aesthetic and makes >fall into me< positively shine.with its atmospheric intro and broad musical range, the original on the a-side sees a welcome reappearance of certain must-have features which will have the hairs on your neck standing up... the accompanying video was shotby emmy nominee daniel michael gahr with chela simone and laila tov in the woods of san francisco.
marco passarani has done the honours on the flip side. a workaholic from the eternal city of rome, marco is the linchpin of the italian techno scene. he produces under the aliases js pool, monomorph and ambit 3 for the labels skam, hymen, clone and peacefrog, and also runs his own labels plasmek, pigna and nature records marcos >fall into me< remix is unmistakably influenced by hiscarefully nurtured detroit roots. however, he employs these stylistic elements very discreetly, retains beats, melody and vocals in his arrangement, takes out a little of the decorative padding from the album, then finally hits us with a wonderful, trancey eight-tone sequence to send us into the realm of dancefloor dreams for ever.

sometimes a label like syndikaat gets many demos from upcoming artists and sometimes suddenly something stands out so much it just must be signed! barnum & bailey are the new guys and they send us a slammer. very cool uplifting minimal style that just works so easily always. synth driven beats with a pumping bassline. its just like that, listen and let the music take you away.

r.i.p. hollertronix series, that club staple borne in philly by diplo and low b that, in its lifetime, has seen the pair rise from small time basement collaborators and underground party hustlers to major label players and arena rockers. it helped introduced the world to bmore and balie funk music and let djs know it was okay to embrace a pluralistic club experience where its more than okay to crunch up a set with indie, hip hop and dance music. the seeds of hollertronix are sown, but now they ve grown, with the departure of low b, diplo has nursed the growth into the full fledged mad decent label under universals downtown records umbrella. the last word from hollertronix is this, a four track banger from amsterdams the partysquad, which is the hollertronix 10 12inch. it includes potential future classics: pull up, crazyfunkystyle, murderer & rage.

alejandro the argentinian fellow, also known for his monikas >funzion< and >e bridge<, released on lomidhigh, alphahouse and sushitech among others, presents us two energetic musical journeys for the meander imprint. this is warm and funky music, simply pure and rich in its dynamic, drive and groove. stunning and very ajejandros own style. the track selva introduces itsself with a temper didgeridoo eclecticism. followed by lush heavy sub basses with a dash of acid and wandering crispy sounds, his tricky rhythm programmings are blowing us away into dramatic dancefloorbliss. spiced up toms between high frequent synthesizers underline its constant presence. a melodic, organic and crafty piece of house music. on the flipside we have >pampa<. the obviously traditional south american influences of our talent merge with modernism, fluxion and frequency precision. an emotional trip that let somehow emerge images of dreamy landscapes while being still a dance orientated killer tune. with this record alejandro emphasizes his creativity as a standout producer for dense and powerfull creations

quarks remixed by turner, gonzales, schneider tm, submission and jamie hodge. released in 2000 on gudrun guts monika enterprise imprint.

schneider tm drops the guitars - >fallen< - sounds like an ejection seat.
submission bought a new dub dress and covered time (>zeit-hin<).

cometomusic is proud to present the first release on their own imprint. alec and alberto met each other by accident. after some longer music chats they started exchanging track ideas and as a result we can present >yujuuu!<. the track is a real groover with a catchy hook & vocal line. as a bonustrack alec delivers >godfella< that can let you dream of a small fiesta party on cuba – with a allover happy vibe and some nice horns. as remixer they grabbed probably the man of the moment – m.in. after remixing heroes like radio slave or italoboyz and eps on robsoul, souvenir, micro.fon and others he just did another massive dancefloor work.

repress of the 1972 classic!

supported by renato cohen, danny tenaglia, sian, patrick pulsinger, axel bartsch, bukaddor & fishbeck, orde meikle, kiko... let us introduce the new trapez artist deepchild with his brand new 2 track ep on vinyl. deepchild writes bass-heavy machine-music for broken people, disjointed booty-bass for backroomdreamers, fuelled with sweat, jackin funk and tears. >backroom< is such a track, a warm, raw, urgent and sensual. techno at its finest, highlighting deepchilds voice stronger and more delicately than in the other track. his misch-masch of deep detroit futurism, southern-crunk and forgotten space-disco cut with a rusting razor-blade of german tech-minimalism and filtered through a personal collection of odd analogue equipment is a secretformula that has >backroom< come to life! the b-side >death panel my ass< is a masterpiece of a recording with a hell of a tricky production, cool vocal snippets, cool effects over dubs... well a busy track but at the same time at ease and deep.
deepchild is based in australia and has recorded for resopal in the past. he is playing worldwide and on trapez parties in 2010 !

hive audio is here – a brand new label, run by the makers of the infamous hive club, located in the the industrial quarter of zurich. the imprint was founded by samuel gmur and adrian wöllhaf, better known as animal trainer with some great releasing on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent, amongst others. zurich is not only party capital of beautiful switzerland, it is more and more becoming a habitat for talented and creative music producers and djs, who will now get a new international platform. releases will be held mainly by residents of the hive club itself – benja will be given the honour to start off with his track paradose. >paradose< impresses with a funky percussion loop, ultra-brief chords and scantily applied vocal snippets. benja keeps it dust-dry, leaving out every kind of frippery and lifting the track to a real &#64258,,oor-&#64257,,ller without any razzmatazz needed. on the &#64258,,ip we have a remix by christian burkhardt, who needs no further introduction. he turns the number into a real techno loop monster, which will catch you within a few beats, and then wont let loose again. hypnotic and twinkle-toed at the same time, his remix easily will suit any after hour or peaktime set to the same degree. christian burkhardt himself is also one of our favourite guests in the club. this is why, of course, we are double happy to welcome a hive club resident on our hive audio 001.

these two fellas from upstate wanted to party, so we met downtown at the club later that night... fresh off the mystery meat imprints auspicious debut comes ncams double header deep house excursion. comprised of nick chacona and anthony mansfield, the bi coastal duo have reworked seemingly untouchable bits of discos past to come up with two sublime housey reworks. handle this is a firm favorite of one todd terje, and its no wonder what with its slow, hypnotic build. nick and anthony strip down a prelude classic to its core elements to create an otherworldly rework, teasing the female vox before they let loose midway through. the bongers is a not so subtle nod to the original source material, again with the boys retooling a classic from the prelude catalogue with dazzling results.

this is the track that has been burning down the house this summer, this is punk-funk techno ... this is >fables and fairytales<. a deep, dark and wonderful cut of distorted house music from adam marshall and nicholas murray under the alias n/a featuring the voice of rosina… a creation that touches the heart, body and soul with an intensely passionate sound, producing one of the best crosstown rebels releases yet.
from the vocal chorus so hooky and cool - to the kind of bassline you will be humming hours after the club, this piece of lfo tech-funk brings adonis, the slits and the fatback band into the same room and melts them into one shining gem. falling horns and random stabs, a punk funk vocal that is truly infectious, crosstown rebels #54 grabs you at the beginning and doesnt let go for the next twelve minutes. a faultless anthem for the coming nights…
on the b side, the latest artist signed to rebels, the uniquely talented deniz kurtel, stretches the hook into a dubbed out trip of groove-infused techno. morphing and twisting the ferocious female voice to sensual whispers and heart-felt cries, she works more enchantment into this anthem and builds a serious groove for a dark room.

baaz comes back home at sthlmaudio recordings for a rich and surprise full new ep called woodland drive. the 12 inches start right off with sink, a very baaz styled house track which is dance appealing and yet refined and subtle. a raw bassy groove monster track. the next one might surprise the baaz fans out there, yes it’s a hip-hop track featuring the soul vocals of katrina marie. we figured out that it might be fresh to provide some other point of view in the repeating herself dance scene. the b side strikes hard on the house side again, it s gone is one of those pure shining and rolling tracks. once to you uplift it you’d just let it go. a bass heavy subtle and groovy house cut, baaz trademark?! essential. and again the b2 and closing track is an lush and low key hip-hop science out of baaz most retired places

welcome to the world of mysterious organist & producer dan electro. dan electro is a charming guy who lives very far away from the sytem of babylon. his music is out of time... it carries the reminiscence of a time when people played music simply for the love of it... his touch is magnetic, mystical and inspired. dan electro musics really got soul. but the man has a complex background... for a long time, he played bass for the slow slushy boys, a band that still performs today one of the best rooted rythm & blues around the world. dan electro finds a great part of his inspiration within the universe of geniuses like louis jordan, eddie kirk, the five royales and the barefoot gospel divas sister rosetta tharpe or winona carr... and he is still involved in music that talks to both your ass and your soul... with a preference for the first !
the lucky discovery of farley jackmaster funks >fix me< revealed dan electro the connections between black music at its core roots and contemporary house music. shortly after, he started producing some amazing tunes that felt like love affairs between old church organs and mad computers... sung by ageless preachers & divas. his music has been played by djs such as gilles peterson, joey negro, sumo, recloose, dj morpheus, spiritual south, nick v, michael rutten, rainer truby, nik weston, unabombers, erik rug, philarmonix, patchworks, stevie sole... radios as bbc 1, frequence jazz, xfm scotland, radio fg, compost radioshow... enjoy !

lee curtiss and spectral sound have been running in the same pack for years-&#64257,,nally, after suf&#64257,,ciently circling each other and snif&#64257,,ng each others business, spectral and lee have joined forces to release the detroit producers the black door ep, and it s a doozy. lee curtiss traf&#64257,,cs in airtight, undeniable dance tracks with a tricksters sense of experimentation-the black door ep is all that and more, a beguiling 12 inch whose charms multiply with each listen. >black door beauty< opens side a with a touch of chicago futurism, spinning congas, staccato vocal samples, and a swift dusting of hi-hats into a house anthem with psychedelic undertones. berlin producer dyed soundoroms remix minimizes the sub-bass thump and plays up the tracks oddball trappings, tricking out >black door beauty< with the sounds of creaking hinges, neurotic synthesizers, and a particularly creepy chorus of hysterical tittering. b-side >smoking mirrors< guides the listener through clouds of melting organ tones and busy, polyrhythmic click-clack as a sturdy bassline (with a funky, french-house beat skip) cuts through the haze. curtiss lets the rhythm do the work, building to multiple climaxes in the span of seven minutes. at the end of each anxious buildup, there s a womans breathless moan, a let-the-air-out-of-the-tires hiss, and it s time to do it all over again.

after the great success of >fine mouche piano-tango< (check feedback below) by french chanson legend brigitte fontaine and turkish belly dancer khan we are proud to present a bunch of hyper hip remix kids ready to send you into a groovy indian summer.

every new record from mlz doesnt quite fit in with the one that preceded it, something thats doubly true for this new release.
>one cycle< on the a-side is probably the most fierce, stripped and relentless thing ever released by modern love, a classic reduction that rotates into a frenzied crescendo of panning stabs and a washed out, chugging backbone that doesnt let-up throughout its 7 minute duration.
the flipside offers up something else entirely, a remix for hitherto unknown operator dj ghosthunter, a shady character not quite ready to unmask himself. mlzs remix offers a dank and obliterated house configuration, guided by the spirit of theo parrish and kdj.

played and supportet by loco dice, nick curly, sis, basti grub, johnny d and many, many more ...
perverse, sexy, groovy and let you dance for sure, after the 8bit release the new veitengruber ep is the next must have!

there seems to be a bit a mystery around this record... and let some of this mystery remain. these two remixes of a fairly obscure song are pretty well known to the public, as for the last year or so they were regulars both in live sets of jacek sienkiewicz, and dj sets of ricardo villalobos. right now these two artists share credits to this obviously outstanding release. >pilgrim< is a vital, mesmerizing, uplifting piece of magic. one can assume, telling from the unusual, muezzin-like chanting, that it comes from some forgotten oriental library record... in fact, it was written in the seventies by a respected polish composer and extraordinary vocalist to the words of 19th century polish poet. now you can hear its modern, not to say futuristic, interpretation by two of the most forward-thinking electronic musicians from two different sides of the globe.
