northern songs in a southern style - fab guiro!
welcome to fab guiro! - the album title is a combination of both the popular british phrase fab gear referring to all cool music & lifestyle aspects and issues surrounding the band and also stresses the relation to the percussion instrument guiro that is an integral instrument, sound and necessity in latin, salsa and especially traditional cuban music. fab guiro! is beat music in a fascinating, exotic robe, a drum roll of liverpudlian song pearls the songs of the beatles on fab guiro! do actually sound like copacabana, cuba and kingston - but always like the english harbour town in the summer - northern song in a southern style are indeed warm songs, fab guiro! simply means lots of fun, entertainment and thus celebrates our heroes.

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

holds herself like a woman/burst its banks is taken from kill it kids forthcoming album the single was produced by ryan hadlock (gossip, strokes, blonde redhead). available on limited edition 7inch vinyl (500 copies).

more exciting deep house cuts on the new wt records done by will speculator. this time its another new name (well.. sort off.. hunee already did release on feel music as hunch, and is slowly building a reputation as dj) this 12 vinyl release fits well between genres, crossing deep house, disco, and detroit techno. the title track even has some quite jazzy keys. but the killer is probably rare silk which is simply magical. quality release just like the 1st wt records! check!

marco petralia: his sound is deep, dirty and twisted – his dj sets are energetic and impulsive! as bigcitybeats resident he played already side by side with international dj stars like george morel, roger sanchez, steve angello or mark knight and further is responsible for mixing the very popular bigcitybeats compilations which hit the top ten of the german compilations charts each time they are released. marco can refer to a row of successful releases on labels like open bar music, miss moneypennys and of course bigcitybeats. the baggi begovic remix of his last single >getting deep< got massive support from roger sanchez! without exaggeration you can call >breaking all the rules< marcos best release so far featuring stunning vocals by the young and beautiful us singer taleen marie and a bunch of rocking remixes from superstar d.o.n.s, uprising newcomer cold n what, abel riballo & dj kds and robert heart & christian gimbel.

first seconds into already 27th release on recognition, and we immediately know that there is serious business going on here. stunningly complex drum track goes like clockwork, only setting the scene for what is to come. forget the craft of drum programming - we are talking another dimension here. >modern dance< is like being suddenly dropped into suspended animation: having that peculiar feeling that the world around is accelerating to the verge of a seizure - and at the same time this very world feels so slow... unnamable, transparent sheets of sound almost give no room to breathe - but ones breath is taken away by the magnificent landscape it s about to appear. shapes shift under half-closed eyelids, and while the low, peaceful yet sad chant comes in, one can feel it like an omnipresent breath, burning hot and marble cold at the same time. this mysterious and heart-wrenching voice comes courtesy of one yula, and were gonna surealy hear much more from her in the future. and it seems that the beats literally start to boil... rhythms shuffle and swing, and taken the lack of floating melodies abundant in jaceks earlier output this track is even more outstanding from theproducers former work - probably acting as a bridge towards new visions, appearing in the confidence of the new, almost-perfect studio.

cosmic journey, the monster 303 dominator of a lead cut on this 3-track release from moscows denis a looks like being the biggest release so far from this new label. but really this is all about the monstrous groove that denis a creates with some superb 303 tweaking and peaking that makes this track an instant dancefloor smash. over on the b side sadalmelik and orbis novus are both excellent explorations into tech territory, with catchy melodies, and more minimal styling. perfect for creating a mood, and no less captivating.

the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.

after a number of successful eps with his musical partner nuno dos santos on compost black label (their release have been supportet by big names like joris voorn, richard dorfmeister, mijk van dijk, karotte, alex attias, dubfire) its time for tj kongs first solo release feat house legend from the very first hour, mr. elbee bad.

muffler tears it up on this latest release from sigh co records. on the a side >dirrrty< kicks off with suspensful strings before dropping into a tech based stormer with its grumbling bass and rolling beats. whilst on the aa >mankind< keeps the groove more minimal, relying on the b line which sounds like a digeridoo on crack with subtle hooks and stepped beats.

thanks to the blinding fabric live mix and a series of highly entertaining interviews the demand for new omar-s product is now at an all time high. hes on top form here with three fresh cuts representing his sound to the fullest. opening track flying blind is a must have for fans of the deeper omar s tracks like psychotic photosynthesis. following that up is still serious nic which is probably my favourite track on the record, its got that heavily monged out raw omar-s machine vibe to it. things straighten out a bit on the b-side thanks to the smoothed out vocal house of left him up. then it finishes off with the deep house of flying gorgars. once again omar-s proves hes too steps ahead of the deep house pack. essential

after the success of their collaboration with paul thomas on last years festival anthem >arena<, mark knight and funkagenda join forces once again on one of the most eagerly anticipated tracks showcased at this years miami wmc.
>good times< is the feel good anthem of the summer comprising of a modest intro with a warbling bass line driving slowly through collecting sounds, before opening up into an edgy synth stab and finally the insanely catchy vocal hook >these are the good times<! the track drops back in like a speeding locomotive train going full steam ahead, with cleverly placed percussion, fx and siren sounds soaring to create an intense rhythm.
on the flip, >flauta magica< shows the diversity of these two acclaimed producers when they get in the studio together. taking a different route from the lead track and concentrating more on the groove, >flauta magica< chugs along nicely with an almost tribal percussive feel to it. the excellent chanting vox sample, reminiscent of the early house sound, keeps the groove rolling along into the drop. taking the lead from the tracks name, a whistling flute riff drops elevating the musical vibe to a new balearic level.

welcome to rebel intelligence - the new label is ready to make you pop like it was 1984 all over again! their first single is by the uks matt whitehead, one half of signal type (along with phil bolland on the cultivated electronics label) and captures the style of early electro funk in all it s analogue glory. so good! the a sides >beat the heat< is the more pacey of the two tracks here, constantly building with vintage synth stabs and the true feeling of electro, reminding us of harold faltermeyer and all those cats so heavy influenced by kraftwerk. on the flip, >tuff city< combines classic b-boy sounds and punchy drum programming to create an authentic listening experience that will make you want to get your lino out and bust some moves. highly recommended.

altair nouveau is among the spaciest of dfaÆs recent signings, a producer clearly as in love with the soundtracks of john carpenter as he is with italo covers of classic rock tunes. >space fortress< saves its best for the final two minutes with a synthesized trumpet lead thatÆll have you either pumping your fist or reaching for the off switch. >showdown<, meanwhile, more adequately gets at mitchellÆs soundtrack love, with its pleasantly percolating backing track giving a chance to various sounds to prove their worth. >sorcerer< embraces the hints of flourish that mitchell dropped in spots elsewhere, and goes full-on with the funk. itÆs tough, well-produced and a little bit funny to listen to in the privacy of your own homeùjust like the 80s soundtrack music that it so readily recalls.

dfa complete the set of black meteoric star tracks onto vinyl with >dreamcatcher/dawn< on the third and final 12 from the album. gavin russom has created a unique tribute to the early days of synth and drum machine experimentation with this project, inhabiting the spirits of everyone from giorgio moroder to ron hardy with hypnotically brilliant effects. >dreamcatcher< is another undiluted jam at 120bpm, sounding like a lo-fi moroder tripout with gorgeous arpeggiations swirling in a pool of shallow resonant tape hiss. >dawn< on the flip is the slowest track on the album, a sub 100bpm psyched electro-soul groove with cracking handclaps and an uncompromisingly lo-fi attitude. dead cool.

is it balearic return with the seventh release on their acclaimed label ! is it balearic..? recordings present the deadstock 33s - a very >spicy< journey into wide screen space dub from the mind of justin robertson. >drifting on a wave< is a lush sweeping electro dub soundtrack from the master of dapper balearia ! despite perhaps being more well known for his heavy weight club sets, justin was instrumental in establishing the deep roots of manchesters balearic scene, along with aficionados moonboots and jason boardman. his spice night was a legendary event in the north of england and added a distinctly english spin to the balearic blueprint. celebrated underground edit maestros main stem tackle the remix, creating a beautiful epic balearo-dub soundscape which already sounds like an adriatic classic finally >echo sound< wraps it all up in a slow motion cosmic disco fashion, with more than a little italo swagger, twisted in all the right places. is it balearic…?-oh yeah

another legendary techno producers deliver the goods on be as one. this time is swedens own samuel l session with 2 singles straight out of his upcoming first ever artist album, soon to be released on the israeli label. big bad drum is exactly what the title says, a drums driven track with a bassline reminiscent of saundersons e-dancer techno. already tested by a few lucky ones, this tune is having a monster impact on the dancefloors with its funky snares and distinctive over voice . chimes still carries an old school vibe, taking a classical and deeper approach. sls sound at its best, reminds us why the don has been here for the last 15 years. a solid preview of what to expect from samuels album, classical groovy techno which reminds us how real techno is suposed to sounds like. forthcoming on be as one in october.

the mind melt keeps melting. pretty soon we will just be puddles of freaky essential oils, reduced down to our effervescent essence, like jasmine, or dry kool-aid. of course we are talking about onur Ízers album kasmir, the gift that keeps on giving. once again renowned artists have come out in full force reworking selected tracks off onurs album for vakants remix-only vr. first up is mr. rajko m³ller, better known as isolÚe, who having spent some time growing up in algeria, continues with the african remixer theme (tunisian born loco dice remixed eclipse on part 1. you know us, as if we even need an excuse to work in africa somehow.) isolÚe takes onurs otherwise chilling innervoice and reinterprets it into a thick warm blanket of reassuring bounce. flipping the record inverts dimensions of time and space. abyssfully deep legend baby ford takes the already ethereal aida and turns it into the soundtrack for finding the god particle. its scary, yes, but ultimately it could explain everything.

the make up the break up is the first release on bruno pronsatos own thesongsays label. its the longest track in his catalog (38 minutes), and an even deeper excursion into his stylized harmony. this track was originally a track uncompleted while making, æwhy cant we be like us. revisiting it roughly a year ago, bruno began to reword it. what began as simple attempt to create an ep track out of it became a monster. what monster you ask? in a few words, the monster that is brunos love of musicality and sound design. muscially speaking, we are on a ride somewhere between a slithery house track and a drugged out night out in chelsea, new york in the 60s - and thats a good thing because we get the entirety of the ride: the ups, the downs, the clouded mentality, the broken heart and perhaps the mended one. its happy, its sad - its something that you can dance to, but most importantly, its music that we think you can revisit for many years, as it somehow reflects us, our lives. a playful and extended journey through love and disaster, or at least the soundtrack to it.

detroit inspired bleeping techno ep. original cut brings back the accelerate synth bloop with modern pulse drums. damon wild kicks in the tight acid and xpansul makes this a big room summer hit. steve parker, not being an adept of calculated biographies or narrated thoughts, continues believing that the best way of presenting him self like dj and producer will always be with his quality and huge musical background. counting on a long career as dj his style in a dj set goes from tech-house and into the minimal techno, with the only guarantees that above any label or musical style the sonorous quality will always be the first and only priority

olmeto, a small town in corsica, is infamous as the birthplace of the family vendetta. we chose the name as it has an air of mystery but also a bit of fire. we felt that we wanted a label with us as the only artists free to do what we want, how we wantà this is release number 23. all have been ours, and range across the house spectrum, vocal, minimal, tech and deep and probably a little of each in all. the raw road and madagaskar whilst different, are made from the same mood. a strong rhythm with elements brought in and out, like a good dj, you lock the groove and then begin to play around it. although all tracks are by us, we do bring in artists we like to remix from time to time. the raw road will be remixed by mark broom and nic fanciullli and they will join artist such as loco dice, green velvet and unkle who have both remixed tracks over the course of the label.

after excellent results with the first three releases, it is label manager dia who comes out with the next release on vinyl did it. roaches travel in groups is an ep complete with the right amount of house and techno elements, never leaning too close to one style yet retaining a familiarity and elements from each genre to make it appealing to just about any music lover. on the a side, left there kicks off the record with vintage-like house pads and piano. the second track on the a side, winds of tomorrow takes things into techno territory with classic 909 claps, prominent hi hats, and filtered synths, upbeat,fun, and more of a peak time track. on the b side, dia shows us a sound that she dominates and clearly has defined her previous eps, leaning towards the often called >afterhours techno<, with a strong, deep, hypnotic track, scrape. made up of small sounds and carefully placed percussive elements that carry the track nicely, all this topped by a contagious voice that seems to invite us into a parallel universe where the only thing that matters is the music. limited edition of 500 units!

daniel mehlhart is an aficionado. that would explain the cosy buzz emblazoning his >coming close<. the deep bass adept prepares some tasty meal here, just like an accomplished cook, pecking only the best ingredients for his versatile tracks. two soulflul clappers are the radiant result, featuring tenderly restored sequences and carefully tailored samplework. gabriel ananda shows off impeccable taste by firing up the robot beatbox for his remix, tuckpointing the sounds so well, that one might want to rub his ears due to so much rapture. three masterbuilders ftw
