big with sian, miss kittin, dubnitzky, tom pooks, the dolphins, jussi pekka,… >ekutok< is a powerful movement forward. the brand new track from the two transylvanians markus homm and mihai popoviciu has the sort of atmosphere and propulsive force that is good to feel in the marrow of your bones and gives you that needed thrust at 2 a.m. on the dance floor or on the autobahn. attentive, concentrated and progressive without compromise, the track inspires an uninhibited desire to put the pedal to the metal. it is characteristic of the homm & popoviciu style that they always succeed in composing their sound in a light, easygoing manner yet at the same time compressing surge with flow. the result has only one name: groove. with >ekutok< homm & popoviciu have not only delivered a phenomenal track, but also a perfect example of what freunde tontraeger considers beyond techno

booka shade return with the second explosive single to be taken from their the sun & the neon light lp. >charlotte< appears here in four different remixes, two by booka shade themselves and one apiece by dubfire and matchbox. booka shade kick off proceedings with their own remix of >charlotte<, re-shaping the original into an expansive, anthemic dancefloor cut that grows out of spindly arpeggios into a glorious overload of drums and swirling synths

this soulful banger was originally signed to dj spens code red imprint, but before even seeing the light of day it was snapped up by the original us house label – strictly rhythm. wondrous showcases the killer vocals of the original underground diva susu bobien. the package delivers mixes from atfc & spen under his muthafunkaz guise as well as his original. this is a slice of the most upfront soulful house that any dj who likes his soulful house should not miss out on. smashed all over by heavyweights such as kenny dope, louie vega and todd terry.

the deep house dons from milano italia are back with the 4 track vinyl ep from armed response artist album on their little angel label. it is almost a year ago since harley & muscle delighted us with their second album a decade of truth on little angel records. now they are finally hitting the stores with the third masterpiece called armed response. this ep conatains 4 dancefloor weapons. marie tweek from the mighty rurals is on board with the lovely the light. furthermore harley & muscle prove the uniting power of house music and that the message is love with songs like deep unity, five rand and save the cheerleader.true house music soldiers rise up!

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers

excellent 4 track ep with fresh minimal / techhouse / techno food

hinode’ is a tribute and farewell to our favourite club, yellow in tokyo. we’ve played some great gigs there, six or seven hours in the dark with eight hundred people and one strobe light – perfection. endless saki in the bar, obligatory stalkers (“93!” and hedgehog girl step forward please), smoke and heat on the dance floor. finally emerging deafened and sun blinded into the brilliance of saturday mid-morning in tokyo… backing up the original is an exceptional remix from our favourite techno genius - fergie.

first labelcompilation by aw-rec !! excellent timeless soulful detroit music

loved by alex from tokyo, alex attias, ame, dixon, marcus worgull, peter kruder, roland appel, tony lionni and many more.. fabrice lig, the prince of everything electronic, is back after his very acclaimed x-slaves. he delivers the goods once again, starting off here with chapter one in a purple raw trilogy. first up is the track, based around a jerky syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick, which remains light all the way. as usual, lig’s arrangements evolve progressively before they wipe us away with their screeching pads and synthetic melodies. a great mixture of minimal techno and detroit nostalgia. no doubt, the more efficient track produced by fabrice lig and hammered by dixon, ame, alex attias, quarion… much more aggressive, bump bump is built around fat analogue sounds, or acid noises if you prefer which seem to emulate screaming animals. one is easily carried away by an animalistic groove that keeps on building from the beginning till the end. it all ends with the very funky the riff pourpre, a perfect crossover between metro area and parliament. the retro sounds sit nicely on a big fat beat, the kind which lig excels in.

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.

after being discovered and initially managed by jamiroquai, cozi costi has co written with a host of the industrys most proven artists like sucker djs, sunfreaks and david guetta. fireworks was released on toolroom records in early 2007 and was a buzz chart 1 track. cozi also co wrote the lyrics for counting down the days by the sunfreakz, released on oxyd, positiva and starlet in 2006! cozis latest collaboration is with david guetta: performing baby when the light on his poplife album, cozi is now set for further chart success. but now its time for her collaboration with starlets phonjaxx! sensual has recently been signed to ultra and positiva and is now finally available with brand new club mixes!

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.

ultraphat marek hemmann remix !! support comes from anthony collins, italoboyz, karotte, dj misk, mark henning and many more.. on a1 marcus meinhardt is telling the story of jerry lee in passionate dark sounds. he’s painting pictures from the dark side of town in which he was torn into. in the dense frames he hunted the adventure. a visionary, whose hair followed in electric line shape the power of his movements. when he runs - he runs for his life. marek hemmann how ever highlights jerry lee to a sunny place, to pick and count some daisys, in which the rough guy revives like a tame light being.

zeep dreams finally sees the light with a massive 12inch release featuring heavyweight and veterans on the scene da lata (patrick forge & chris franck) and afronaught (bugz in the attic) punching a string of right handers and basslines to boot. underdogs and remix competition winners, john johnson and dj lk respond to the challenge with some deft footwork and some surprise dancefloor sonics keeping a truly competitive edge to proceedings.
