over the last nine years, the resopal crew has written another chapter of the german tech house book. with releases by d. diggler, robag wruhme or by shooting stars like paul ritch and johannes heil, resopal has celebrated some of the biggest records from 2001 to 2011. in this spirit... we feel the bassline by talented berlin young producer michael knop. his body of work, weak chin ep needs no introduction. he applies his excellence with searing modern techno beats tweaked with a barrage of sound effects and topped off with a subtle futuristic rave complexity. three tracks on vinyl that are nothing less than groundbreaking.

when a deservedly hyped label like no.19 music states that its biggest release is about to drop then a certain amount of attention is due and thats exactly what the labels 19th release, tanner ross >b side ep<, deserves. despite having clocked up an impeccable discography that takes in collaborations with soul clap (as sect) and sergio ross as well as output for freerange, airdrop, culprit and dirty bird this is ross first solo release under his given name and is causing a enormous buzz via consistent plays from label-boss jonny white (art department), crosstown rebels main-man damian lazarus and a few close friends of the family. adding to the two stunning originals, b side and 4 u ft. flo night , and pushing things into unmissable territory is a brilliant remix of the latter from crosstown rebels / wolf & lamb family member, deniz kurtel.

second episode of the lifes track saga reach the top of a new intergalactic dimension! the spiritual and cosmic attitude of the faboulous italian live duo this time gets, on a1, more techy, hypnotic, mind-penetrating and aggressive, while a2 shows a fresh mysterious, sexy and holistic reinterpretaion of some of the best oldschool chicago house made by artist like virgo four. on b1 instead youll find some raw and melancholic keys a la glenn underground style with a touch of percussive madness and b2 ends up the ep with a trascendental and estatic boogie tech funk tune dense of trancier gentleness and tantric expressionism.

let the show begin, this is the first episode for marc poppckes new baby crossfrontier audio. time to clean your musical mind, here we go… from house to trance, next to techno and back to house again. for sure this is no space for hand-me-down standards.
a1 – marc poppcke & max von valentiner – never go backimagine berlin, imagine sunrise, imagine the party you left some minutes ago… haha, i know what’s on your mind. and no, i don’t mean those cute summer open air venues your tourist guide talks about. it’s november and the berlin summer has gone. it’s cold, it’s foggy, the shafts of sunlight have to find their way… and yes, it’s fucking beautiful and so is the track.
a2 – lake people – tellap tacleipzig is calling. well known for his debut on kollektiv turmstrasses musik gewinnt freunde lake people impresses with his minimalistic trademark sound that dares to be melodic as well. great stuff for prime times and big rooms but keep away from pyro shows.
b1 – salvatore freda - invictionafter numerous great and ingenious releases on cadenza, liebe*detail, freerange and others, salvatore continues with another effective lesson in hypnosis and self-awareness. dont ask, dont tell, just see for yourself!
b2 – frieder blume – we play for love - frieder sounds like those worldly-wise professionals that definitely know there business. but in fact its his first track on vinyl and we all can imagine what this guy will sound like in a few years. we play for love builds and builds and builds and culminates in a climax… bam! rewind please…

eclipsemusic is pleased to announce the sixth release introducing the talented canadian producer matt thibideau. he is known in toronto, detroit, montreal, & berlin for having performed with the ikes of mike huckaby, akufen, richie hawtin andreleasing music on labels such as mike shannons cynosure and sub-static with hisnew wave-industrial band repair.. matt has a very personal approach to making music that refuses to use software instruments and give free expression to his unlimited passion for the sound of his analog synthesizers. he records directly through a mixer playing his live instruments. this particular feature shines through his deep and warm sound! >when its time< is a typical techouse style track with a solid structure consisting of a straight and bouncy rhythm, deep bass with futuristic chords and techy arpeggiators running over it. the track starts very deep develops into a more raw sound that leaves no survivors on the dance floor! >holding on to you< is a much more dub-oriented track this time we have ambient and rarefied atmosphere which develops progressively over a repetitive bass line and drum machine rhythm with a mixture of chords and pads typically inspired by the basic channel sound. the title track >night drive< (licensed from matts obsolete components record label) is a masterpiece of deep house music vaguely reminiscent of many mid-nineties works from labels like guidance recordings and wave music, that will become an instant classic for all deep-house heads. very melodic and groovy bass line with a mixture of pads, reverberated chords and many delayeffected elements. 7 minutes of pure deepnes

after he caught our attention several times with a string of releases on such labels as quintessentials for example, we are very happy to introduce skipson as a new artist on our label. his influences can be found somewhere between labels like classic or music for freaks for example. these influences combined with a great passion for detroit house from the likes of kdj or andres create the very own skipson sound that we like so much and that always shows his ability to add something unique to his productions.

stepping out of the shadows in 2007 when just sixteen years old, jokers stock has risen dramatically since. aided by him releasing defining cuts like >digidesign<, >the vision (let me breathe)< and >tron<, he now finds himself thick in the recent resurgence of british electronic music. bbc radio 1s zane lowe premiered >here come the lights< in late july on his coveted hottest record in the world radio spot. moreover joker premiered most of his new albums tracks at the glastonbury festival this past summer, just one stop during a busy summer of worldwide festival performances. with the world traveled and a deal with 4ad signed, he is finally ready to appease his waiting public and release his debut album, the vision. prior to that though, album tracks >here come the lights< featuring silas of turboweekend and >my trance girl<, are being released on a purple coloured double a-side 12 inch.

already the fourth release on rmxs records. labelboss j.leyend selects the best techno slammers for the dancefloor.. eric sneo / horacio cruz / lk / j.leyend & javi under presenting fresh techno for the followers of labels like adult, patterns and special series.

* missed flight* sees two of drumcodes most prominent artists, cari lekebusch and joseph capriati, team up to deliver a 2 track vinyl ep of essential modern techno.
while lekebusch is a veteran, joseph capriati is part of the upsurge of new talent who have been grabbing increasingly intense attention over the past few years. the pairing of a prodigious new talent (somewhat new – capriati has developed quite a catalogue for an artist in his early twenties) with someone of lekebuschs standing is always an enticing prospect so >missed flight< looks set to turn heads from its billing alone. >missed flight< the track comes on like the perfect theme to the arrival of autumn. the tones are moody and the groove is linear, penetrating and eerily appointed. a kubrick-esque breakdown of pulses and space is the only thing that breaks the momentum and adds a deliciously creepy characteristic to proceedings. track two, >napoli 4am<, balances out its darker tinged predecessor with a shuffling 909 funk and playful groove combination that pairs up with subtly delayed hits deep fm synth work brilliantly.

a new pacemaker! one floorburner on the a side by bryan fury and the b side contains great broken hardcore material by ladyscraper. absolutely great release!

>living it out< – perhaps the most unabashedly danceable song on janine >planningtorock< rostrons dfa debut album w – comes on (that is to say, seduces) in just the right ways. the song is all addictive disco, with synthesized string skitterings and rostrons voice purring out (she sounds like a futuristic eartha kitt here) a perfect melody that somehow gets even better at the chorus. its pure pleasure upsurge from beat-driven start to pizzicatto end, the kind of song that lets you know that, amidst rostrons many musical idiosyncracies, included is the ability to write a song that simply drags you out onto the dancefloor

manuel tur returns to delusions following his recent classic most of this moment on freerange and proceeds to throw another whacking great curveball for those who have think theyve got his game sussed. its quite safe to say the last year or so manuel has continued to push and redifne himself as a producer, refusing to stick to one sound or repeat himself which has resulted in some amazing releases aswell as some fruitful collaborations. recent remixes for permanent vacation, diynamic and dixons philomena label all display his deeper, left-of-centre and more techno-edged sound. here on delusions we have the (bi) polar opposite in the form of the foolin ep. the title track is a beautiful slice of soul-drenched house which goes for a classic sound with simple horn chords, rolling bass and incessant claps spicing up the groove. a simple vocal refrain is spun in like a dj drops an accapella and once heard this will be stuck in your head for days. a firm fireside favourite with all of us here at dog. theres also an instrumental version of foolin for those with vocalitis. flipping over we have the traveller which sees manuel head down slightly more familiar territory with a heavy, lo-slung groove providing the backdrop for some axelrod-style strings and horns, live bass and floating vocal adlibs. a subtley haunting soundtrack feel pervedes as the arrangement developes but the relentless driving beats make sure this track never strays far from the dancefloor.

only available at decks.de exklusive repress big!! hungarian born jay is one of the fastest developing new generation producers around. an artist to watch. specially for bitten hes produced two tech-house tracks, both >the b-groove< and >to beat or not to beat< rock like crazy! for the techno lovers we added a paul ritch remix which speaks for itself!

this time we present you with 3 new names on the labels roster. quell has already been causing waves this year with releases on esteemed imprints like ibadan, 8 bit and these days amongst others. his track >real people< has been a favourite with us since quell sent it out a few months back. steady and with a very pumpy bass, the track builds a very sensual mood reminiscent of the music played at the sound factory back in the days. jack union is a side project from label owner alex tsotsos for his retro sounding house productions. >you can make it< is exactly that. chunky drums and an oldschool sounding organ set the theme for a playful and heavy classic house track. on the flip, we introduce two long time friends the square room heroes. >now is the time< combines modern sound aesthetics with a smokey voice urging you to release the freak. from claap with love

the strut label returns with a brand new vinyl edition of one of the imprints most in-demand series, disco not disco, exploring original anthems and rarities from the world of reactionary 1970s post-punk and leftfield disco.
with the original two compilations released at the turn of the decade as a new wave of bands like the rapture and lcd soundsystem drew on the musics influence, disco not disco has since been adopted in its own right as a term to describe a whole genre. the compilation is more timely than ever in 2011 as a reference point for a burgeoning mainstream scene.
the new edition moves from new york classics by konk and bill laswells material to early detroit machine music, belgian new beat and a healthy dose of uk originals from shriekback, quando quango and more on seminal labels like y and factory. watch out too for rare gems from unexpected sources including japanese electronic pioneers yellow magic orchestra and 70s prog collective isotope.

the black void of space ep 00/2 is the second 12 inch from resoes debut album. it consists of two tracks from the album and a remix by no other than don williams of mojuba / wandering & a.r.t.less records. nachhall is a atmospheric track, but still aimed for the floor. the metallic chords and lushfull strings builds up slowly through the track and ends in a pure techno monster like the old school sound of detroit. dubcuttin is resoes expression of a dubstep track, with a more techno kind of edge to it, which goes perfect with early releases of a made up sound / 2562 and martyn. don williams remix is a straight detroit inspired track, with hard stabby chords and filtered fxs that for sure will kill your ears on a proper pa system. if you like deep dub with a twist of detroit, you must check this out.....!

sounds like comfortable has caught another wave with these 3 wet dreams from 76-79. dare we say it.. tip!

its been two years since pawas gupta contributed an enchanting remix on sirions first vinyl release. constant communication and cooperation lead to this all in all accomplished project called >huis huis ep<. pawas productions start off smooth and impress with delightful elements and perpetual dynamic. the development of each track is rarely predictable. tempting the act of prolonged anticipation is a delicate one and leads further and further into remote realms. carried into the sec repetitive parts by finely tuned synth-boosts makes us realize the force briefly before being caught up in the hypnotic sounds again. propelling deep house with a pinch of funk and a touch of detroit - the classic yet brilliant pawas style! moon harbours chris lattner needs no long introductions. releases on nrk, einmaleins, fear of flying and luna records speak for themselves, are proof of a successful and active time. the dry yet truly ideal base frame for subtle but succinct modules for this remix is its effective substance. the static sub bass, fulminate and with an enormous thrust, is reminiscent of the miami bass age - virtuous modulations, the very complexion of mr lattner. he remains true to himself, we like!

we are pleased to present the latest addition to our slow motion family - marcello giordani. disco overlord, laser cowboy and cosmic heartbreaker. >chubby rain< takes you on a journey through inner space and outer dimensions where the infinity of the universe glows in neon-indigo and thoughts and feeling come and go like waves on a beach. with wandering arpeggios, washed out digital strings and distant vocals, there s just the right amount of strut in the precision-engineered beats to propel you through the night. >roma< brings us back closer to earth with a smattering of classic disco sounds reinterpreted for a parallel universe. playful synths make us think of strange animals in distant galaxies, and inter-stellar adventuring with a happy ending.flip the record over and masimilliano pagliara breaks chubby rains epic journey in to smaller, sharper hops that retain the best parts of the original but adds extra rocket boosters to make for a more exciting ride. finally modus, the dirty, sexy robot cousin that we only talk about in hushed digital voices. she is slow, sleazy and spilling oil out of every hole. is that reggae she is listening to?
b1ig with: skatebard, bicep, discodromo, mano le tough, the beat broker, justin miller dfa, baby g., fabrizio mammarella, ...

killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

our favorite guys from athens return to we are after some time, and with some super tight beats as well! fact of the matter is, that we for this one occasion chose to go with a full 12 inch instead of our standard club tracks 12 inch format simply because we needed all these three tracks to fit – good job! already passed the floor-test at many clubs and people are really feeling this superglued tightly produced rhythms mixed with old school disco house, they are held back and sneaky, and at the same time accesible and open to groove – just the way we like it!

jazzanova lands on wurst! early dj support comes from soul clap, radio slave, dimitri from paris, ewan pearson, sebo k, rob mello and slow hands. weve done the unthinkable, scored the unimaginable, and wrangled none other than jazzanova (!) for an über-limited one-sided vinyl-only release. while >i can see< feat ben westbeech came out a few years back, filippo moscatellos most excellent disco version never saw the light of day - until now, of course. doesnt much more sunshine-filled and soul-drenched than this stellar take on the esteemed berlin collectives original, and we are both honored and humbled to get to work with both jazzanova and their label sonar kollektiv, and of course filippo himself, on this very special release. filippo moscatello started to produce music in 1994 under the dj naughty moniker, and has since gone on to work with labels like gigolo, eskimo, and moodmusic to name but a few, releasing the artist albums disco volante (gigolo) and pagliaccio (moodmusic), as well as the acclaimed compilation, one naughty night in berlin (eskimo). in addition to his production work, filippo maintains a club residency at cookies in berlin called luv dancin where hes played along special guests like moodymann, jerome sydenham, ata, bottin and loud e.

with private golds newest offering the inimitable cologne producer martin beume has really taken a huge and achingly beautiful step in his songwriting and production. some might know him from releases with connaiseur or brut! records, but this record is miles higher… wisps of detail adorn each song like edible gold flake on a luscious chocolate ganache cake. synths flutter and glide like summer butterflies and even the percussion is precious and clean. this is not to say it is only good for home listening. lead off track solid rubber has a tough and sexy deep house sway with echoes of brazilian bossa nova laid over its more traditionalist chicago house and jazz. lsdeep, has the full dirt stomp necessary for a forbidden tryst, but sneaks in smart samples and emotional filter washes to add unexpected depth. at 105bpm, you might not expect wip catch to fucking groooooove the way it does, but trust me kids, things are getting slower as we are getting older. and it feels great. soaring orchestral strings married with perfectly cut vocal samples are sure to get the more adventurous djs hypnotizing dancefloors like musical svengalis. and when you thought it was all over, axel boman turns in an amazing remix in his instantly recognizable non-traditional style. this dude is a lothario. all hip shake and cooing come-ons, its a reduced house gem that slinks its way into your pants.

terror danjah finally returns to the airwaves with his first new material since 2010s >undeniable< album on hyperdub. the masssively-anticipated >full attention< is the first step in the resurrection of his patented rhythm & grime sound, the style he made his name with in the early noughties with vocalists like shola and sade ama. this time out, ruby lee ryder is his voice of choice, and her distinctive vocal has already landed the track on the bbc 1xtra playlist, with further spins on radio 1 and rinse fm, and its a fixture in the boxes of djs like skream, mistajam and target. advance club promo has generated a ridiculously positive response right across the board, with hard support from brackles, swindle, alex nut, blackdown, wylie, and many many more, setting the scene for >full attention< to become an anthemic club and commercial hit as soon as it reaches the shops. on the flip mr danjah drops his trademark gremlinz logo for two 8 bar grime smashes that have been doing the rounds on rinse fm for the last half year. >east village< is a toast to the nights hardrive label hosted at the london club of the same name, and >jeckle & hyde< (exclusive to this 12 inch) has been battered in the raves by logan sama, zomby, and elijah & skilliam just to name only a few. this marks the beginning of a hefty release schedule for the grime kingpin including more high-impact singles and remixes on the way for greensleeves, butterz and hyperdub.

troy pierce, marc houle & magda team up to present their first ever trio release on items & things, >down & out vol 1< - which takes its name from their newly created party series - events that are based around the dark & intimate, off the radar, and under the ground. troy pierce starts things off with >majikal<, introducing the eps dark magic with a climbing bassline, scattering, almost anxious percussion and buoyant sound effects panned throughout. ominous atmospheres and weighted textures produce a cinematic accompaniment to surveyors of uncharted terrain. building a continual tension-and-release cycle, the track is a lucid whirlwind of sonic imagery and trickery, balancing visceral sounds with the otherworldly. magda teams up with suade, a producer & friend from newcastle that we are sure to see more of, together they bring forth a true builder, a creeper, the type of track that reveals itself more with each layering sequence. a masterclass in dynamics, >fixation< is a dark groove thats haunted by a chilling vocal, wavering synth vibrato, unexpected melodies, and juxtaposes of funk. angular drums hit alongside swells of percussive echoes but, the focus of the track revolves around the bassline’s movement. as catchy as it is esoteric. marc houles >slowpe< ends the ep with a slightly slower pace, but in a disconcerting way: taking it down a few notches this one that transports the listener to the strangest dimension yet. filtered melodies start the tracks ascent, sounding like a trumpet thats been bent out of shape and played from the void. with dark textures compactly knit into a condensed wall of sound, a low-slung bassline trades places with eerie chords and sparse percussion

berlin-based music label mutual musik is proud to announce its second release prince of the night. the title track from johannes beck springs from the universal urge to explore the night and to let oneself go. floating between bliss and melancholy, strolling like in a dream, this track goes out to all princes and princesses of the night.

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

music always played a significant role in the life of javier viudez and rainer serrat and the quest for the music made them leave their hometowns mallorca and barcelona and move to london where they met each other and started sharing a studio in 2004. constant flow of releases on labels like serialism, safari electronique, vinyl club and serious club gigs followed. here javier and rainer kick off a new chapter and team up for 4 tracks, tales of lost memories and other-worldiness of early morning hours, that were some of the best kept secrets of loco dice sets this summer. the repetitive title track “scusas” with its hypnotic, scale wandering staccato bassline, >rainer nostalgia< with its uplifting vocal shouts, the timberlake infected, driving >nuevo cedar< or any other piece of this collection, these boys seem to have a golden hand for stripped down grooves

after only just recently raising our glasses to our 50th upon you release, heres number 51 just waiting in the bleachers…so basically we are on our way to number 100. our italian friends re-up have rustled up this very promising release called >the new mood ep<. why the name ? i hear you ask. well these two tech-house experts have dug deep to give us a1 with its ecstatic drum rolls in >darkness< , a2 gives us the title track with its dubby-chordy kind of sound, like magically pulling the reins on an indian horse. >what else< they ask themselves on b1 while they gallop over the uy parcour to end this little journey with >so good< on b2.

the a12 motorway was wrapped in complete darkness. the lights of the windmills were blinking in the rhythm of the rotor blades passing by. they appeared just before sunrise. no one had ever seen this kind of creature ever before: red flashing, and bright shining alien butterflies attracted by the windmills. people stopped, and got out of their cars to watch this spectacle. the flying creatures were constantly creating new, kaleidoscope-like formations, and slowly, and very softly at first, they started singing. and although nobody really understood their behaviour, everybody understood their wistful and hopeful song.

the musician airat naryshkin (the very airat) is quite an unusual figure on moscow electronic scene. popular club-culture & music magazine ptiuch called airat >one of the godfathers of the russian electronic music<. he took part in the international album volume transmission (ambient), label worm interface (england),1999. airat with alex paterson (the orb) made an electronic performance in moscow (ketama cafe) last autumn.

this limited transparent yellow vinyl 12 inch takes the hip-hop inspired elements of >gangsta< even further with remixes from legends in the field, adrock (beastie boys) and cut chemist (jurassic 5, ozomatli and dj shadow collaborator). like all good old school records, the 12 inch is completed with not only the original but also with both the instrumental and a cappella versions of the track.

its been a long wait but finally 501 returns with yet another bigtime 12inch that will roll out punches even more than mike tyson! fresh off his release from never say die sees 501 twisting it differently this time.. >gist< is a vocal infused stomper that opens the 12inch perfectly and sees 501 leaning into a swagger tip. it flows, it rocks, it jumps its everything in 1. it shows a different side to the standard 501 sound and shows he can bend any way he would like to. you can hear that in the b side >borderline< where he exchanges the sweet vocals of gist for a psychotic quote and the swagger lean for some ear shattering kicks & snares. hear borderline destroy your eardrums like the good old days with some sub! nothing beats the old fashioned heavyweight sound! another essential 501 record!

d.j. maaco is back at it again by keeping d.i.e. on the map! with long over due favorites such as dutch friends and move yo body, this will be a 12 inch you dont want to miss. listen as he drops the bass in break it down and bring the funk like no other. as you already know detroit in effect are the knights of pure detroit electro/techno and have one mission, to rock your party!
