life is long is an opening gate to the world of lithuanian jazzy house. the funky basslines and turntablist stylings, topped with the organic sounds of light, swinging, latin percussion, wailing saxophones, and fluttering flutes forms the distinct sound of jazzus juice. the release includes amazingly frivolous and funky remix crafted by talented mr. rithma (om records).

incl argy remix !! tokyo s rising star ryo murakami has already put his diverse, electronic sound on the map with the >rise< ep on dessous last year, and received great praise for his track >my soul<, snapped up by steve bug for the fabric mix series, which was piled high with atmosphere and dark, club energy. his next 12 includes two new tracks, the title cut being >down the sky<, cooly influenced by old school house, but also more recent european forays into night music. ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats, joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. the b side, ‚coke‘ (no questions asked) welcomes another one of ryo‘s extended journeys, this time a stronger, peak time groove which never lets off, and builds around layers of spaced out, pitching fx. brain-tingling pitching synths heat things up, before laying down a super-funk hook that melts on top of the beats irresistibly. ryo then leads us head-first into a series of spac d out, jacked-up movements, characterised by risque, feminine vocal snippets. poker flat‘s young greek maestro, argy, creates a stunning hi-tech remix of ‚down the sky,‘ complete with mesmeric dub influenced chord stabs and tripped out washes of delay. once again carrying on the vibe of the original, but twisting it into an altogether different beast, argy takes ryo‘s warm synth stabs and shapes the remix into a slow paced yet pumping club tool.

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

remember tullum combines slick guitar licks, rolling breakbeats and a warming bassline. flipping over and the equally as classy water goes for a stepping drum beat with light percussive touches and an effortless vocal that slides in and out of the mix while the bass notes soothe your soul as you dance your ass off. classic ac business.

>spark< is set to light up floors with its electric beats & wobbly bassline, and crucially, its slammin piano riff. on the flip >suspect nation< goes down a cooler electr-prog route

kitsune season compilation returns, the fifth of its kind and still homemade and gold wrapped. on board this time there are young girls, sea dogs, californian twins, young wolves and loonies. a wonderful mess, a spontaneous shamble that screams out loud. all of this because of gold rush fever.

two electro flavoured house bombs for the modern clubber. prophetization is more suitable for night time or right before the sun rises. electro rhythms, cosmic synth notes accompanied by a fat bass. lost in space, its dark, the bright strings call from afar and bring hope. the light shines at the end of the tunnel. pazuzu on side b is a mixture of bleeps and atmospheric pads sustained by a housey beat, chugging along to a dubby sub bass. perfect for those early mornings lost on the dancefloor in a state of trance.

dj support: 2000 and one, karotte, tobi neumann, onur Özer, matthias tanzmann, ali schwarz from tiefscwarz... the four tracks on >Études Électroniques< find luciano invigorated and inspired, putting his talents into the service of dancefloors at their most delirious. with its delicate skip and its slow sunrise flare, >montana< opens the record on a blissful note, calm and suffused with light. a hollow bass tone puffs away like a glassblower as brittle rhythmic patterns spin round and round. swelling and drifting, weightless and iridescent, it feels like chasing dawn in a hot-air balloon. >fochedrem< eases off the throttle and cracks an ear-to-ear grin. a stubby one-note bass line beats out a kind of cartoon funk as the answering riff splinters and shapeshifts between cowbell, organ and piano. its as slippery as the deck of a storm-tossed boat. >masalla< features liquid congas and feathered metallic details that stand on end like magnetic shavings. laid-back and polyrhythmic, its a future latin maysterpiece

baby, when the light is on, you see who is who & who is doin what.julien jabre has always been amongst those artists we love & admire, because he delivers truly good music, soulsearching, without having the need to run after the next hit single. this warm production will stir our feelings through to our roots & seems to be a magic track inspired by chicago house figures lil louis and memphis house boss, mr. fingers aka larry heard. with its incredible and amazing atmosphere the stook is going to send all the listeners into a hypnotic and euphoric voyage.on the flip, he is said to be of the best underground producer, david duriez gives you his vision of early acid house with a wild and rough track. wilderness sounds like a tribute to davids musical father, afro acid man dj pierre.

excellent 4 track ep, compiled by roger sanchez .. a perfect roundup from minimal techhouse to tribal house !!

the swetalic ep proves that sweden doesnt just produce minimal over compressed base kicks & roxette! this four track ep is a nice blend of epic disco, pop harmonies, arpeggiated poly 6 six leads, juno 106 base lines and warm detroit pads. the perfect marriage between the analogue and digital worlds and a real team effort in true spirit of disco. remixes by fabrizio mammarella & arken

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

versatile are delighted with this new addition to their catalogue. a release made in belgium by detroit techno prodigy: fabrice lig. as you will notice on this new ep, the first white guys to have signed a record on kevin saundersons legendary label kms, remains faithful to the sound of motor city. a light and esoteric melody sets the tone of >x-slaves who changed the world<. the tight clap and kick drum leave room for the modulating bass. a voice similar to martin luther kings, repeats names of cities in which slavery prevailed, whilst pads stimulate the mental trip. the x slave is taken by the dancefloor, changing the world as he dances to the beat. “funk la termite” is elastic funk. binary rhythms, off-beat chords which keep the groove balanced whilst the hi-hats, like little insects, dig away at the beat, building it and deconstructing it as the sounds evolve. >the round of funky bugs< continues in the vein of creepy crawlies. here, the synths are more upfront, their acidic layering create a mixture of harmonic loops which will set all hells lose. the melodies and use of pads stay anchored in the detroit tradition, but this production fits just as well with all the current electro releases worthy of any good dancefloor

nice price deal !!! brand new electro-funk bomb from barcelona label funkdango. escura & grau are 2 experienced djs and producers from barcelona that have previously done some remix duties for music for freaks label. 2 smashing dancefloor killers of the likes of tim paris, tiefschwarz, ewan pearson, sweet light, jerome pacman…

slamming instrumental based on the light my fire organ hook by the doors

as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

nrks coast2coast opens up its post summer account with a mix cd from one of the scenes brightest stars, karizma. best known for his basement boys collaborations, karizma has struck it solo in recent years and has bridged the gap between jazz influenced broken beats and the edgier, techier sounds of his kohesive productions. these double pack vinyl lps present some of the choice tunes on offer on his dj mix, including tracks & remixes from slope, onsulade, pasta boys, tyree, vikter duplaix and many more

shack musics sister label ugh rolls out its 2nd release in time for the summer! already finding favour on early promo from djs as diverse as osunlade, rainer trueby, rocco, alix alvarez, franck roger amongst others, this is one deep as fook tune! seed allstarz are bradford james and nef nunez hailing from bean town that is boston and brooklyn, ny respectively! now seeing the light of day shack label head soy mustafa steps out with co-producer alex celler under the kemistry guise to unleash a peak time stomper with the terrace mix, that is aimed straight at the floor with its synth stabs, infectious bassline and melodic keys. on remix duty we have called in boddhi satva who at the moment is doing amazing things alongside alton miller and osunlade working on his album for the yoruba imprint. boddhi kicks things off with a choppy drum pattern rolling it out with some fat bass and deep ass strings which tells you that this brutha truly hails from the mother land

new offshoot to the mean record label – serialism records - combining avant-garde sounds with a seasoned technique for all things minimal. in this case >dried lubricant ep< is an example of quality which doesnt follow the common flow. on this 4 tracker, the classic breed of techno is harmonically mixed up with the quirkiness of our time. a various artist ep which doesnt eave space for misunderstandings. on the a side young frenchman cesar merveille and his obscure melodies and liquid bass lines takes us on moody journey followed by italian rico casazza who plays ironically with our heads in a more funked up style. on the b side ekkohaus opens up the dancefloor with heavy breaks and chorused rim shots while the fourth track from the brainchild of techno producer grimes adhesif delivers an industrial 909 style loopy piece. grimes is the label owner of mind your head records, and has produced tracks which have received much recognition from major djs and artists such as ricardo villalobos

for the 11th release of the bongo madness series kevin yost returns stronger than ever as he delivers some of his most adventurous percussion tracking to date. darkness into light. here mr yost brings us up a notch to merge some creative percussive elements over blazing horn solos. a definite highlight in the series. the punisher, another mega watt speaker driver ready to pound systems across the world. its a must have for all fans of the series

huge support: joe t. vanelli, annie nightingale (bbc radio 1), uk cool cuts charts, ivan smagghe, satoshi tomie, dmc buzz charts, john acquaviva,… hell yeah is building a huge following with its straight up approach of releasing dancefloor destroyers with plenty of attitude! maskio is the alter ego for santos and it toys with all things acid. this project has already produced great tracks like >acid theory<, >analog pressure<, >detroit land< and recent crowd pleaser >human jungle<. >monday< has already seen the light of day on mantra vibes last year but got a bit lost in the world of distribution going bad. however it still reached out through the internet and now due to popular demand its getting a full release

after some remixes for some labels, jaumëtic returns to his label with a shining and renewed sound, that will also see the light in new works for other european labels in the next months. dulces paparruchas is what we could call >hit< in all rule. intense, changing and forceful to equal parts, and with a impressive progression able to burn all the dancefloors. terribles albricias maintain an excelent groove from the principle to the final. a noticeable flavor of summer and a surprising mutation to perviete and transfers the track at another hotter level.

sunburst offers layers of eerie, whispered vocals wrapped around a dark and menacing chord pattern. as the track develops though, the chords open out to bring light to the dancefloor and dramatically change the mood into something wonderfully uplifting. marc also offers a reduced version of >sunburst< as a dub to complete the trip. the alexkid remix brings some proper old school house vibes to the mix. alex and his 909 go to work on marcs stabs to devastating effect. all hands are destined to reach for the lasers when the bass-line drops, and just in time for the summer. parisian alexkid works his magic for the remix. alexkid has in the past remixed everyone from astor piazzolla to george michael, provided serious dancefloor fuel with tracks like >dont hide it< and a number of critically acclaimed albums for the fantastic french label f communications

pikaya take to the a-side with a flourish of robes and flashing beams of light. >jedi< is not the track youre looking for… wait, no—it absolutely is the track youre looking for, all mind tricks aside. kicking off with a sparse drum pattern, it quickly shifts from a measured andante to an easy jog, as resonant synths and sweeping filters whip up desert winds and high drama. high, lonesome counterpoints and a moody chord progression carry the faintest whiff of ennio morricones outlaw music, and playful trills—you could almost swear they were birdcalls—suggest a secret oasis hidden just behind the next hill.if you find >jedi< cinematic, then >fango< will really blow your wide-screen mind. starting with a rhythmic underpinning thats everything youve come to expect from a cadenza track - tight, ultra-kinetic, just a little bit jittery - pikaya build up layer upon layer of hazy pads and cool arpeggios that shimmer like the aurora borealis. bullfrog-throated horns occasionally burst in with a fat, amicable fanfare, announcing the arrival of the peak hour. great, unison handclaps play off against heel-kicking syncopations: madness ensues. and then everything slowly, imperceptibly smears together and loses focus, and the tune fades flickeringly away. talk about a double feature! now playing on a turntable near you

dustin zahn fires away projectile number two - and you will not see this one coming with impact. zahn selects the work of a promising newcomer not to be mistaken with the drum and bass producer! this man is pure techno in body and soul and hooks you up with a real treat. four weapons for any time during the night, all with a carefully selected groove and balancing between the dark and the light
