played by richie hawtin!! big tune !! dirka dirka aka dave shokh and tony rohr move over to tora after their dipolter experiences. >stretch out< is the 2008 monster. huge bass response kicks us off. neatly tucked edits+samples broaden the scope. the floor begins to fall....take it from there. >red balls< funky and tight just like it should be. jackin groove with some voice manipulations. tight indeed! and hot.

this is the 3rd release by brandon moeller on echochord, and still the releases are getting stronger and stronger. brendon is also known from his beat pharmacy and echologist projects, and he is also releasing on labels like third ear, earsuger jukebox and deep space media

samuel rouanet aka reynold aka duplex 100 (together with phil stumpf) also boss of trenton is releasing here his first full ep on his own label. after a year of serious boredom when it comes to techno music and especially what is the so called >minimal< sound, he decided to release what is his own vision of dance music. >poison in my mind< has a strong bass line and triplets chords that drives you while the melody comes in and out. >blue steel< is more of an old school anthem with strings and detroit vibes. >craft<“ is what reynold does the best, electro deep cinematographic tune, close to the work he did on persona with his >my favorite film< album. >like it or leave it

supported by agoria, deetron, funk d void, martin landsky, joris voorn, gregor tresher, karotte and many many more.. after several cooperations with his mates h.o.s.h. and stimmig, and a lot of own releases on other labels, this is the first all-own ep of solomun on diynamic! you maybe wont believe it - but it s like that! and because home is the sweetest place on earth, we invite the guests we love and like in this case, we are fans of ourselfs, jamie odell, better known as jimpster or audiomontage, who made a lot of deeptechhouse hearts happy with his productions an his own label freerange during the last years

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

reeko is one of those straight techno heroes that are still bringing the goods! in stead of switching to minimal like the most of the old heroes he stayed true to the scene and delivers! another slab of true straight techno for the heads! big kicks and nasty soundscapes makes this a record not be taken lightely.

waldhaus and x-tension both deliver two tracks for the 13th release on this hardtechno imprint. for those who like it rough: this is what youre looking for !! waldhaus previously released work on crowbar, artillery and toolterror and is obviously very talented and upcoming in the scene. x-tension (aka thomas nordmann) is known from releases onartillery and madhouse - still going strong with this release on combat skills.

energie in bestform is glad to release the producer and dj tobias lützenkirchen. actually well known with admirable releases on labels like great stuff, blu fin, selected works and his own label platform b. the main track is called >afterhour is the pusher< and will - we guarantee that - not only >push< in the afterhour .... the bonus track >ketron< will turn every dance club - with its forward-pressing bass rhythms - into a tropical drum jungle. the two >afterhour is the pusher< remixes of flea and baby chris complete the record!

reconstructing essential classic tunes, thats what p series is about, with the sole intention to give some respect and renewed attention to those tunes we will never forget. this is another release that will stir up every dancefloor for sure, like the original versions once did

luscious, epic and british are not words you would usually associate with an emo band. but i was a cub scout are not your ordinary emo outfit - they re two hardcore souls with passion and emotion dripping out of every pore. and its this passion that has captivated audiences up and down the country. the duo, made up of todd marriott and william bowerman, have come a long way in the 18 months they ve been together. they ve supported bands like babyshambles, panic at the disco, editors and forward russia, played to packed out audiences at download and the carling reading and leeds festivals and made one of the most life affirming albums of 2008, i want you to know that there is always hope, which has been produced by hugh padgham . in a climate of indie band soup, i was a cub scout stand apart. a very british band raised on a diet of american music. a duo who manage the feat of being both indie and rock, punk and prog, small yet big...

kne deep is a&r ed by the one and only emperor of hard techno, dj rush. the next kd in line is by dj arcane, who did some braindamaging stuff on labels like lars klein s compressed, artificial beats etc.

a piece of solid techno, not to fast and not so full as it used to be. but danceable andgroovy like old time..call it techno with a minimal touch

first single to be lifted from the forthcoming lp is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. a wholly original mashup of electronics, my heart rate rapid is sheer falsetto laden, drum battering brilliance. although metronomys elliptical, insidious, multi coloured art pop sounds nothing like colognes legendary purveyors of prog disco, can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. add early brian eno, sparks, devo, talking heads, soft cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid and you realise that you cant think of any, because metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.

>ohhhh this is nice!< shit robot (dfa) >j adore that thing!< joakim (tigersushi) >very good edits< jerry bouthier (boombox) >really enjoying them. definitely want to play them of my radio show< tim sweeney (beats in space) >many thanks for these, all of them are fantastic.. groove me have been fave of mine for yonks..< pete herbert >i really like -that thing- and -my time- your time< nico de céglia >these edits are really great< matt walsh (turbo rec) >straight shooter is hot< jacques renault (runaway) >thanks for these edits< andreas leander (24hours blog) >those 3 edits are great especially the groove me edit which is a great favourite track of mine< alex from tokyo > love the edits but my fave of cosmo is still that pete shelley one!< roy dank (xlr8r) >great stuff!< dj morpheus >these edits rock !!! will play all three of them, this is just what i need in my sets! merci beaucoup cosmo< yannick labbé (tricski)

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!

omerta is the brand new techno imprint from the united states based gunjack and matt k. known from various releases on labels like audio assault, submissions, planet rhythm and many more, they decided it is time for their platform. this first release is an absolute techno bomb. steady beats, solid kicks and sometimes in a off-beat vibe.

after the huge >score for direction< success with label owner pär grindvik stockholm ltd presents a new swedish talent for the world. simon haydo is a really close friend of pär grindvik and the stockholm ltd family. for several years, simon has been playing records among the high end clubs in his hometown of stockholm, sweden. a while ago he finally got himself some studio equipment and has been asking for production tips from time to time, but when we received his demo we realized that he didnt really needed them. simon knocked us right out of our chairs! we rarely get demos this emotional and we didnt know that simon would pass us one as we had not heard a bleep of his music until that day. most of the demos you get are from people trying to sound like someone else, but simon has a sound of his own. we are really proud to have simon haydo joining the label and his first record >different shades of white< will follow us forever! >different shades of white< has got great support all over the world and will be released on stockholm ltd, watch out!

big follow up to porto hustle and sex girl . rousing vocals, an absorbing groove and phat tribal beats! for the 2nd release of his own label s2g chriss ortega, took the chance and packed this huge track - in usual manner - in a contemporary electronic habit that will cook every dance floor. as the 2nd remixer the boys of s2g have engaged nobody else than the french guy chris kaeser. he recently belongs to the most important french remixers and adapted acts like stonebridge, antoine clamaran, dons and dlg to his typical propulsive sound.

incl pan pot remix !! the lead single >mole< sets the tone with tribal drums and snaky reverb trails. guiros croak like frogs, and flashes of melody dart away like salamanders. watch out for anja schneider s debut album “beyond the valley” coming out on mobilee in may 2008.

new hardstyle 2 track ep produced by nitro man

again if you like your dubstep dark, bare and devastatingly simple, than this one is for you.

incl remix by h.o.s.h.!! played by james holden, ripperton, phonique, someone else, stephan bodzin, mark august, sian. lucy builds up a menacing wall of sound in just under 8 minutes, inspiring the listeners imagination, like >summery drumming< before. oscillating melodies and strings condense to a dark blade runner type scenario, driven by a crystal clear snare drum

this canadian artist rocks the place giving a happy smashing acidic electro shambles under helium. sounds like alter ego, tiefschwarz & all major electro producers

fresh upfront techno minimal / techhouse. twisted stuff -sounds like kraftwerk meets justice with a touch of berlin 2010! very strong hot new act on lexy & k pauls music is music label!

for their latest effort, einzelkind aka arno völker and miguel ayala teamed up with douglas greed for ice 1656 ep. in a1 >la belle<, a rolling, woodblock rhythm sets the scene for the abstracted keyboard tones which cluster around the track’s middle, cranking up the drama and throwing the bottom-line bass throb sharp relief, ahead of the dirty, flanged synth line that’ll gleefully force any dancefloor into submission. >la belle<’s beauty lies in its simplicity - einzelkind and douglas greed use a small, well-chosen assortment of percussive and melodic elements to create a wonderfully tense, propulsive club track with not even a hint of flab about it. for b1 >ed the optician<, the trio inject a bit of funk into proceedings. it’s a slinky little number, characterised by an expanding and contracting, analogue-sounding synth-line, woodwind samples and a bouncy, morse-code bassline, together making for a warm, groving track that will work well in warm-up and peak-time sets alike, not to mention at home. b2 >squirls in a bathtub< is a similarly supple, funk-fuelled cut, driven by haunting, almost animal-like noises and which mutate into wiry acid lines while the aquatic bass drum, hissing shaker and press

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.

hailing from deep down south africa, mujaba is up for his second outing on the überhot four roses recordings imprint. here come two joints that will get stuck in a lot heads for some time. the music indeed sounds like a further development of the original house sounds already being approved by all the good guys you would like to spin at the party of your dreams.

virgil enzinger is supported by chris liebing, eric sneo... he has already released on high quality labels like clr, enable rec, patterns, beat disaster a. o.

the title track made a brief appearance last year, garnering spins from the likes of fergie on radio 1. its now primed for full release, retaining its cool stuttering bleeped out hook atop a strident bassline thats designed to make sure no one can physically stand still, whether they want to or not. its also catchy as fuck. mike healey drops a cleaner remix that techs it out some, the first third or so of the track just twitters, phased sounds and hints at whats to come. its 1.00am central trip material until that bass finally implodes. are we alone? is a deeper closing cut, with suitably zoned out vocal samples and more electro tech shenanigans, making for a near essential ep for those who like it dark and trippy.

eric prydzs pryda label has again delievered some stunning pieces of work this year that have been caned by pretty much everyone. tracks like rymd, armed, ironman, muranyi and maddeferrys have all been licensed to pretty much every compilation out there and have generated quite a stir. this time around europa gets an airing - this is another walloping production that has been doing the rounds with certain djs since the summer. it is a typically enormous club track with its building synth chords and huge breaks and drops. on the flip odyssey is also a killer with its slightly more subtle funky feel. this is another 2 track monster that will not go away!! dj support - pete tong, sasha, jon digweed, sebastian leger, eric prydz

bitches brew are back with their next wild installment - purple somersault. if the previous release was filed under country dub tronica, this release is psychedelic surf cosmic disco. kind of like link wray wipes out with giorgio moroder. an interesting and rather beautiful concept, in fact the whole wild rumpus story is rather interesting and beautiful. two pioneers of forward thinking music, but from very different backgrounds combine to make the kind of music you simply cant ignore but at the same time cant quite put your finger on.

in the year of punk 1977, the jams exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. the raw, unfettered aggression of the bands approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the mod movement of the mid 60s. singer/guitarist paul weller comes off like a cross between joe strummer and the young pete townshend, bashing unreservedly through slow down, one of the r&b tunes that inspired the original mods. weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture over the raging three chord attack of bassist bruce foxton and drummer rick buckler. the pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky arrangements, which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.

black rocket is a banger in the vein of the dirty 98 bristol sound that was cherished by folks like decoder and tech itch. a reverberating wood block snare, a big fat distorted bassline and dizzying white noise to fill up any frequency space that was left make this track a tough pill to swallow.

limited to 400 copies, phat detroit / basic channel like

reggie b has been working on music by himself since beginning of his career. but in 2007 he was suddenly gotten attention in the new school beat scene via myspace, had been airplayed from opinion leaders like benji b and gilles peterson, then just put out his solo debut album go. this is first of 2 ep series off from the album. we r here is produced by the instrument genius, motor citys best kept secret saadiq, the 1/2 of platinum pied pipers, who is also going to drop his first solo joint from circulations. reggie b delivers the next level mid west funkiness over the detroit manner head banging of this tight minimal beat. on this intergalactic p funk biz, japanese beat trio super smoky soul twisted with opposite direction of arrangement into dreamy hip hop psychedelia. for all the beat geeks they serve another track of doper spaced out beat cosmos as re edit. including a bonus song of the album title song go, the manifesto of his music with sick bass & beats by lenny d, the producer of innatesounds. from 4lux recordings, reggie b also released another project future music with slum village drummer daru recently

renato cohen twists and bites technasias rocking dancefloor anthem in this special remix edition of the original take. on the a, grooving side to side like a king cobra on heat, this number is not for the faint hearted but rather more for those who want to see themselves lost in the pulsating lights and booming punch billowing from them woofers. on the b, a low end pumper, that will rock your jumper off like there is no tomorrow.

remus is going the minimal way !! and what a bomb three tracker, ultraphat subheavy techno.. artists like emerson, holgi star etc. are already playing and supportying this record to the fullest

mysterious edits of classic tracks. a side feat a new version of j walter negro & the loose jointzs shoot the pump. flip for edits of john davis & the monster orchestras bourgie bourgie and two tons of funs earth can be just like heaven

a classic bit of space disco from the french scene of the 70s. four long tracks that are all pretty darn moogy, and pretty darn great! the work here would fit nicely with some of the best keyboard heavy club of the us scene at the time! not exactly like some of the work on p&p, or the grooves of el coco over at avi - but not that dissimilar either, and often put together with a spare, simple approach thats a welcome contrast from overblown disco of the time! most numbers build up from a funky bassline and beats - adding in the keyboards with great relish, and really letting them jam and get crazy over the top. theres certainly a bit of cosmic fusion going on here too

dance mania was a chicago label founded ray barney in 1985, and was distributed out of his legenday barneys onestop. from the very beginning it was known for raw, percussive tracks from the dirty side of disco and in the 90s laid down over 200 12inchs that were the blueprint for what is now known as >ghettohouse<, or >bootyhouse<. this sound became the foundation for many regional styles of dance music including detroits >ghettohouse<, baltimores >club<, and the current sound of chicagos neighborhoods known as >juke<. we are happy to announce volume 2 of the ghetto classics series with this 4 track ep from two of our favorite ghettohouse producers. features >wouldnt you like to be a hoe<, taken from the >taris is paris< 12inch on dance mania (dm131) and >groove mode<, taken from the >funk city< 12inch on dance mania
