nice price deal !!! here comes a record that shouldnt have been released in the first place. who first started to circulate the cd-r with the blue inscription waiting for kim / we get high is totally unknown. the more known though, is who has been playing these two tracks, the one subtly uplifting, the other cranky dark, over the last few months. its still an unsolved riddle who is responsible for those two very divergent (but obviously coming from a single source productions. the fact that now these two tracks are coming out as a white label doesnt shed any more light on the affair either. but will please the dj and club world nonetheless.

breakbot aka thibaut berland - ed bangers newest and brightest star announces his debut album >by your side<. having delighted dancefloors around the world with his infectious discoid funk of baby im yours and fantasy, and killer re-rubs for justice and metronomy amongst others, one out of two is the first single to be taken from this multi-instrumentalists highly anticipated debut album by your side.

the ep kicks off with empire of dust, an epic and brooding electro beast with powerful, mechanoid drumwork and majestic synth vistas that manages to be euphoric yet dark and grounded at the same time. it was this track whose intent later gave rise to the shape and form of the other 3 tracks on the empires ep.

cazumas yume is a delicately balanced trip, from a broke, raw groove towards the light. striving upwards all the way, higher through beautifully orchestrated pads, strings and chants. if you flip the record, you will find envie by mr raoul k. if you know raouls sound, you would probably find this one to be on the clubbier tip. bulding from a groove of raouls patented percussive arrangement comes an electronic sandstorm, from tiny stabs through a full on and freaked out break where the mighty beat is totally lost. and then back at it! this is really one of those tracks that you cant help yourself from playing whenever control is lost on the dancefloor, a gateway to the crowds inner animal.

of course the boys are back! dave jarvis and diesel float another two killers out there for the more discerning dancefloors.

>the fall of the empire< is a tough and unyielding release that continues both pfirter and mindtrip s run of form. >the fall of the empire is imminent< is raw, powerful and tightly wound. it holds an almost familiar sound, something that brings memories of techno from years gone by, but with the added depth, intricacy and attention to details that juan pablo pfirter lends to all his productions. markus suckut remixes on mt-02 and brings his stripped sound to his rework of >multiverse<. keeping things simplistic and functional, markus finds the groove, toying with bass throughout the track and letting the loop run for near seven minutes, gently tweaking fx and eq in the light-handed and tender manner he become known for.

celebrating a landmark tenth release, biscuit factory records brings two absolute stompers. the a side is creature, a laxx and farkas collaboration. on the flip laxx and soap dodgers team up with hi rolla. creature is a 4x4 combo with a smooth hypnotic vocal that drops into a heavy bassed, techy roller. the biscuit factory is set to full speed on this one with industrial synths and weighty stabs crashing over the raw upfront bassline. hi roller is a dance floor club smasher. dark robotic basslines and pure weight make this a perfect flip to creature. the low sub bassline and hard punchy drums combine with light melodies in the breakdown to make a track that turns speakers inside out and shreds clubs to pieces. creature and hi rolla have been a staple in walshs sets over the last few months, destroying raves across europe. huge support also coming from n type on his weekly rinse fm wheel and deal records show, hatcha (kiss fm, sin city recs) and skream and benga (bbc radio 1).

with another release that is made to be a soundtrack for sunny open air scenarios, acker records keeps living up to its name and pays tribute to the current summer season. in doing so, the label from mecklenburg one more time steps out of the line, since this release again distinguishes itself by a refreshing otherness. light and easy piano plonking as well as the lascivious french voice of singer rebecca dominate the atmosphere of ici, while its minimal electronic groove discreetly remains in the background. a really tropical feeling evolves in the long version of this track when playful synthesiser chords give rise to the idea of a steel drum. in his remix, mollono.bass manages to combine the very song-orientated approach of the original with a bouncy electronic arrangement. thus he not only creates a lot of dance floor thrust, but also provides the perfect link to rather conventional productions.

big with: magda,luciano, steve lawler, nick curly, gregor tresher, dubfire, gorge, ray okpara, alessandro sensini, rills, steffen deux, 8 bit records continues with more funky grooves from the the chilean guys andre butano and demian muller

arriving at their fourth release, emotional rescues knowledge of forgotten musical gems and their commitment to give them the chance of wider appreciation they fully deserve cannot be in question! after digging out that bob chance classic, the focus switches to something of an equally balearic nature with the release of jaki whitren & john cartwrights lost folk rock album international times. originally released as a private press on the obscure french label living records back in 1983, this eight track album is filled with dusty soul nuggets which are given extra life by the silky vocal stylings of whitren - formerly a backing singer for alan parson. opening track >stay cool< sounds quite ahead of its time, whilst there are some true dancefloor gems for the more adventurous djs out there, such as the title track and the laid back bump of >go with the flow<.

years after delivering a remix for booka shade in 2006, shinedoe makes her solo debut on get physical this winter, bringing with her a wonderfully fresh sound in the form of her transcendental ep. she takes us to the tops of mountains and then drags the deepenst waters. light is a deep mix of techno cascades and funk groove. we build up momentum with piano and driving percussion toward a climactic break, then pull you further into the vibe. transcendental brings a treat of dazed synth and organic percussion. a trip into the music brings us to the dark rooms of late night. we are entranced with thick bass and hypnotic repetition throughout the course of the dancefloor friendly track. next we are immediatly entrapped by the muffle of cosmic, under a thick sheet of foggy ambience. vocal cuts stab the air, setting the pace for a sudden bass groove. the track is deep, solid and very detroit.

steve conelli hits syndikaat hard with a four-track slamming ep which is a total peak hour gem. hard hitting tech stabs and chords mixed up with some rolling gem action. this is solely for lovers of the underground berlin sound that has been in fashion for the last few years.

developer archive 2 is a brilliant balance in light and dark featuring 4 solid deep tracks going further into the realm of modern day techno written and produced by modularz label head developer

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

as ajello say:the idea for a cover version of n.o.i.a.s looking for love was born a couple of years ago - an idea of alessandro piatto, younger brother of davide piatto, original member of n.o.i.a. as soon as alessandro proposed it,we asked whether we could have the original tracks but, unfortunately,they have been lost over the years.immediately his brother davide brought together the original lineup of n.o.i.a.and locked them up in the studio to record the voice from scratch and some of the synth parts. our intervention was first on the drums, replacing the original for a more uptempo beat, and then the bassline, shaping it to a more modern sound. the vocals were treated with filters and echoes,and we also added some new guitar parts and synth lines. it was an honour to us, ajello, to bring to light an italo-disco classic that has really influenced us and we have put all our efforts to create a version that is timeless, as much as the original.

i light another cigarette in the tittery the sparrow has landed. we have returned from our excursion to the modern and would like to share what we brought with you: some showtunes and a twelve tone row. the show, as it turns out to be, is our very own. we started out writing new material to perform on stage, after we had found out it was great fun to refrain our instrumentation to vocals, piano and bad acting. originally very attracted to the- as our label told us- very clandestine idea of releasing three 12inches with very limited playability for djs, we agreed not to ruin our dial friends and work on an album instead.

a time machine appeared to us recently in a cloud of smoke and a giant portal of light. out of the portal a smoking piece of futuristic metal emerged and fell onto our floor. closer examination revealed it to be a time capsule sent from the future. a message from the year 2043, it contained diagrams of futuristic machines from what looks to have been the studio sessions of the recordings presented here. here is what we found, a 2 track ep (plus remixes) from artists from the future. recordings made 21 years from now but from artists who you may have already heard of today.

nach touren rund um den globus kehrten eleanore und jason zurück in ihr abgedunkeltes studio und arbeiteten an dem hypnotisierendem nachfolger zu ihrem beeindruckenden debüt. >red night< wirkt wie eine meditation über trennung und wiederfindung, über fast verloren gegangene liebe und die lang nacht zu ihr zurück. der thith sound vermählt furchtlos minimalismus und abstraktion mit grossartigen melodien. eindringliche stringarrangements werden von treibenden rhythmen und eleanores faszinierender stimme überrannt. >red night< ist ein trip durch die schwarze grossstadtnacht, in der zeit sich dehnt, geschwindigkeit bricht, und gitarren in donner und herzklopfen eintauchen, bei immer intensiver werdenden vocals, je länger die nacht dauert. nach jüngsten auftritten mit odd future und kid cudi, mit den yeah yeah yeahs, james murphy und squarepusher werden thith jetzt auch bei uns ihr neues album ausgiebig live präsentieren!

smith & mudd are back in fine style on claremont 56, following up their excellent lp with this great double header! >sauna love< is the lead track, an uptempo, string laden boogie house affair with great vibes, bass, strings and punchy percussion all rolling along into the sunshine. on side-b >the surveyor< is a great piece of otherworldly electronic music, coming on like some weird cough medicine induced dream. the bass pulses along with mystery dialogue, light key flourishes and an intent that is delivered about 5 minutes in when the kick drops and the whole thing shifts into a latenight, alt disco bomb.

bliq are proud to present bliq05:nicuris paradigms fresh out of union city, ny. the paradigms of which nicuri speaks are darkness, deliverance and determination, modal expressions delivered on three cuts of resonant electronic music. on doldrums nicuri plays with paradox,combining staggered, dreamy synths with unnerving bass rumbles. to reinvigorate the doldrums, or as he puts it replenish the earth, the producer implements a menacing analog rumble in the style of new york greats dj qu and joey anderson. but to ensure that the ground is re-imbued with rational vitality, nicuri adds a layer of baroscopic viscosity: smog surrounds and engulfs, a suppressed vocal intermittently choking. on the flip, parrish adams – aka intrinsic of emphasis records in chicago – gives the earth an even harder, more insistent techno edge. he introduces melodic light flashes at the edges of urban darkness, and rumbles it like a train escaping grand central station. bliq05 is on the run.
