rough, rougher, roughest!! another wicked addition to the fattalic series. fatallic resignation is about the harder side of techno, brought by artists that live the music. various styles from various artists, the thing they have in common: its hard, hard and hard!! check this out

once again, tuningspork records ventures away from its trademark funky house in exchange for something a little more unexpected. last summer, the label issued >free your mind< (tsextra), a baleraric groove crafted by jay haze and ricardo villalobos. now comes another non-sequitur: >comptine d un autre été: l après-midi< (tsultra), mr. tiersens piano composition reconstructed for the dancefloor by jay. french composer yann tiersen has a minimalist approach that many electronic producers could learn from. his piece (the title of which roughly means >nursery rhyme of another summer: the afternoon<) provides the basis for this melancholy track. djs addicted to hyperbolic effects plugins might hesitate to play this - but those who appreciate subtlety will be rewarded here. tiersens original composition is tastefully manipulated into a track that makes sense in a club context, yet sets itself apart from the usual techno/house fare, providing a rare introspective moment on the dancefloor. and it might be worth mentioning: if you play this track and the floor doesnt fill up with ladies, then it probably means youre djing at a gay club. (not that theres anything wrong with that!)

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart

for your electronic summer fun kerkhoff & prinz shove three loose techno grooves on your plates. >contract< relies on an oldschool offbeat bass, but with its funky percussions and noises and nice reverberated melody it becomes clear soon that no one pretends to be a badass here. with its wobbly bass and little follies, >orange< stays in this vein while >mann an bord< enchants us with relaxed perssions and funky snares and would definitely shine brightly in any house set.

a1// >heidschnukke<. roddy was inspired by nordic sheep named >heidschnucke< to do this housetune. funky chords, spherical pads and a booty shaking rhythm groove together and lead you to the dancefloor. a2// >sunprooft< by sasch bbc. if you party open-air and reach the point the sun is rising, this is the track you think you have to play! sasch bbc delivers a playful anthem, laced by elements of funky percussion and lush atmospherical chords. b1// >heidschnukke< terry lee brown jr. remix. hertzmusic welcomes terry lee brown jr. with a delightful remix of roddys a1 track. the tlb remix shifts the hole tune a little deeper with smoothly distorted rhodes and a solid bassline

funky little house number feat alison david on vocals!! includes a freaky jackin cube dub mix

played by ricardo villalobos , mathias kaden, mark broom, m.safras, format b... playmobil striks again, and you know this is not only for the little boys! liberto and mihalis safras are already well known names in the minimal scene and on this record you can hear why. misa is a beautiful building track with an easy intro followed by a melody of bleeps and sounds. it grows steadily into a mayhem of synths, bleeps and clicks. all the way back in the breakdown and then it drops killer! on the flip you will find stunnaz remix by zahn known from his recent succesful releases on enemyltd. a track ful of bass, the neighbours will definitely like this one! the original of stunnaz on the b2

osbornes ruling came out on influential us label spectral sound earlier this year, and has been racking up some fantastic support already. an emotive piece of lush deep house, ruling is an unashamed throwback to the early halcyon days of chicago and new york house music. a perfect slice of deepness for the warmer months...shur i kan is becoming ever present on the nrk roster of late, hes one of our favourite brit producer/remixers, and he stays faithfull to the original mix of ruling here but drags it onto the dancefloor somewhat with some stronger beats and heavier bottom end. king britt, meanwhile, opts for a heady, darker pounding drum remix, with spacious chords and freeform jazz flicked riffs. a little scubambient mix is also included here...

funky, feelgood - hip shaking little house track!! this catchy chorus will get them all...

played by: mathias kaden, len faki, someone else, martinez, loco dice, nima gorji,… re:connected is back after a short little summer break with a brand new fresh 12 from a very promising up and coming copenhagen based producer named, andreas jørnvil. his previous releases and remixes on labels like comfortable records and opossum caught the attention of and was played by big shot djs such as richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos and anja schneider. we are very proud to introduce him as a new member of the growing re:connected family. he delivers a smashing 2 tracks as his debut release on our label. the 12 starts out with a track called: abekatten (a funny world for monkey in danish). abekatten is a wild deep house groove with a jungle like feeling. the track takes your through deep conga driven beats, monkey screams, tropical climate, heavy drum layers and epic tribal chants, all in a long deep hypnotizing groove

abstract & hard acidic techno

funky, feelgood - hip shaking little house track!! this catchy chorus will get them all...

incl tracks by dave tarrida, michael forshaw, cynthia stern, tobias schmidt and tobias von hofsten

these hand-picked tracks are now available on a dj-friendly 2-sided-4-tracks-vinyl-ep and let me tell you, they are well worth the extra investment. the first of the bunch starts off with big man lexys fancy girl, an ever-growing minimal techy peak-time-pusher with a hushed vocal-sample, some anaologue signal sounds and a futuristic and pumping beat. add a great distorted melody to this on the breakdown and the dancefloor will thank you for putting this on: they will go mental! after this introduction, its the newcomers mickey monzza & joseph discos turn with their equally stimulating track lonely. this is a great modern piece of pumping dub techno with a straight-forward attitude. the hi-hats on this tune are mesmerezing, the clappy snares and sirens perfectly placed and the subtle dubby and groovy melody an ideal antithesis to this hectically moving tune. simply nice! but hold on, there is more to come. on the flip there is hamburgs house impressario h.o.s.h. with his track ben johnson and whether this title is a reference to the legendary sportsman or not, its a pretty record-worthy track: wonderful little stabs and vocal sounds and a bassline so warm and groovy it makes your heart melt. then when the breakdown hits you with its long and winding signal sound, the dancefloor will already be bathing in a floor filled with sweet happiness. this is truely delicious! the two newcomers and residents at hive club in zurich animaltrainer have the honour to finish off this ep with their oily tech-house-anthem talkshow, a superb main-floor-peak-time-melody-affair.

the first release on new glasgow label seinan music will be from rising star sei a. this boys stock has been rising fast with releases on french house stables such as missive, silver network and imprime {he may or may not also be responsible for a certain awesome re-edit of an oxford band containing word radio}... fans of his work include miss kitten, laurent garnier, ben watt and a host of many others. meth is another slice of his trademark techy but melodic sound. with haunting vocals and a solid hook, this is due to rock floors from glasgow to guatemala, tech style. on the flip, man of the moment milton jackson takes things a little deeper and darker with a solid mix that will appeal to fans of his work on labels such as freerange, winding road and tsuba. with a musical agenda that sticks to its guns but is not afraid to take a chance is the frame of mind going forward for seinan music. the label has some exiting plans for the future including remixes from another fcomm stalwart, llorca and more releases from sei a.

side a of the 4th record from monotone leidenschaft provides furore. the producer newbee ash cawlin proofs once more his potential with this track. with wondrous slight devices and a very long breath he is able to design a timeless minimal techno sound, which reminds a little on g-man. with the track leda he provides a genuine hit potential more than the presence as a dj-tool. jack else aka subtronic produced a really succeeded and modern track, which matches perfectly between functionality, friskiness and brightness as well as between techno and minimal sound. the blowing groove is always multi-layered and a little capricious. in spite of that it radiates a defeating naturalness, which is slowly burning into the brain. the new track provides the typical heavy, pushing beats, which let you step on the same position. along with it there are endless traces of crackling and rustling

a1: wasserhahn this ones a dirty little fucker, featuring ecstatic, animalistic outbursts of joy over a rigorous bassline and some heavy distorted percussions. its roaring, its loudmouthed and its certainly funny. b1: house kaoss on the a-side, a spacey tripster finds us rolling on the floor, bringing up an especially funky bass glued to some spooky chord stabs. an isomorphic stomper not only for those who know..

the latest release on rising trax is this cheeky little ep from max vangeli. three top draw tracks on show here. >crazed< starts simple yet effective and builds slowly into a big distorted guitar hook before dropping back into a very militant rhythm. >k.e.j.i< is a stripped down prog house number with a wicked groove overlaid with nice stabs and a cool hook. the final track of the ep is >i rock< which begins as a minimal house track then drops with some cool squeaks, bleeps and delayed noises. the stabs turn into a big snyth riff which can only be described as large!

volume two from mcedits shows a slight expansion of his concept, but mostly hews true to the rows he hoed on volume one. his method is basically to take lovely ballads and slow jams and add a little house heat. its really remarkable how such a simple methodology can produce such effective results but the proof is in the grooves so drop the needle on these for some rich rewards.

is there more to life than house music? for the swedish dj/producer mikael nordgren: probably not. since 2004, he has been steadily churning out some of the best future house tunes from his studio located in stockholm. his productions have been released under many aliases including dmalicious, 12th floor and for get physical under the mighty moniker of tiger stripes. the blacker the music, the sweater the sound. a potential anecdote that fittingly could have inspired mikael when he composed the warm and supple portion of detroit fueled funk that is, blackroom entertainment. yet another presentation of his programming prowess and ability to mold and mend melodies into a sophisticated groove. especially utilizing his signature catchy drums to get the vibe going, then introducing a melodic synth stab before the track takes you away with complex variations of rhythmic lead sounds. abacus may remind listeners of his stellar mad at me ep released last fall on get physical - albeit reformed with a more analog approach. springing tones get the groove rolling before it is taken over by a cabal of sci-fi sounds, at which point a thick, modulated analog bass sound ups the overall energy. the lack of audio imagery is little if none, as the sounds invoke so many moods, feelings and sensations that only a seasoned dj and knowledgeable producer could fabricate such a convincing theme. blackroom entertainment ep again showcases mikaels ability as a formidable contributor to house music

doudou malicious is back on multi vitamins with 4 new tracks after his first ep on safari electronique.. these 4 songs are going to surprise you, make you dance and happy featuring cult with no name, delete and kresy

storming & little bit phreaked out techno

whats the secret of making a dance floor explode? if youd like to learn just open christian burkhardts contemporary box and look whats inside: at a first glance, it seems that it doesnt contain a lot, except for 3 dance tools. but once on the turntable you may discover the whole secret of this release. what seems to be so simple is a complex construct of percussive elements and basslines that are being arranged just in the right way. contemporary box finds it s peak without even having one, just by grooving on and on, monotonously, with jumping sticks and a pushing bassline. maison noir moves a little more to the housier side and is being carried by warm chords as well as by effective percussions. phey boom brings in a certain coolness and carries that great release home

after a little break, christian hoffmann - lately more involved as a part of the ambitious abonné project (opossum) is back for good with a butt moving techno house smasher, programmed together with toni vokado. some of you may still know toni from his infamous audioworker ep and few more phat and headstrong releases on monika kruses electric avenue label few years ago. rico henschel a.k.a. sweet n candy delivers a incredible epic 10 minutes interpretation of the people with the obvious intention to make the peebs go mad. enjoy!

1st in a new series from hed kandis little sister label stereo sushi 4 of the most requested tracks from there very popular compilation series

torontos stuart li, aka basic soul unit (best known for heavy hitting releases on versatile and mule electronic) delivers for chicagos very own mathematics imprint. this is finely-crafted detroit-style programming with a little acid thrown in for good measure.

a seriously heavyweight plate from twisted, a member of germanys acclaimed dutty dubz crew. erratic is a grimey monster of a tune, the subtleties of the intro with its pattering bongos and stealthy pads giving no indication of the carnage to come. dropping harder than a ton of bricks, the filthy buzzsaw bass comes swooping in beneath slamming halfstep beats, squirming between the enormous bashy snares and sinister electro riff topline. on the flipside twisted goes a little more leftfield, tapping into the chiptune flavour thats currently permeating the dubstep scene via the likes of rustie and zomby.

rong music introduces a fresh new artists to the label - mr. chin. originally from new york, now based in sunny southern california, chin is a world renowned disco dealer to many a high end disc jockey. from heavy hitting disco breaks to body and soul type music, his first outing has a little something for everyone in the shop. this release contains a cheeky jungle brothers sample. this a very limited release, so pick it up quick before its gone!

this summer mos ferry prod. comes up with a new two-track 12inch by dapayk solo, announcing the release of his second album >devils house< in late september. the title track on side a is already giving directions for this journey – provided that theres a proper bass response – >frickelsound< with affection to the little details, in particular with regards to the bass frequencies. but knowing dapayk thats hardly surprising, by now ... on the b side he presents >a saw attacks< - a track like a recapitulation of certain minimal elements that are around for quite a while now. but only the beginning is a typical sportive staccato theme. after a while a full-stereo sawtooth sound and a demoniac vocal sample take the lead, pushed by a strong punchy kick drum and accompanied by a sounddesign of clicks and sweeps

classic, must have collectors item!! soundtrack for the homonymous animation movie!!

following the success of our first two releases we are delighted to present the third...brian snr aka little libra, has graced us with a four track e.p. that will have you kicking up sand on the dance floor in no time. first up we have

limited 7inch picture vinyl edition!! includes animal collective remix

played by karotte, l.garnier, steve bug, sebo k, mike shannon, layo, d julz !!! we are pretty sure that maetrik sent us his latest ep from a grow room orbiting the earth. his space chronic ep combines the innovation of techno with a sense of fun missing from your average four on the floor banger. its a little shocking, but the results have been exactly what wed expect from the dallas native - mass freaking on the dancefloor. the albums lead single, sex with bass, explores the type of low frequencies that usually occur when suspension bridges tear apart. all the while a subsonic voice repeats its desire to have sex… with bass! stab jockey throws a techno curveball at the start, utilizing rhythmic synths over a simple beat. dont trust it! midway through, the line clears out for full-frequency busting bass drops. on the flip, crawl machine immediately builds a head-nodding groove that wastes no time firing off its boosters – half the track is a sneaky buildup. by the time the kick slams back in, youre already back in orbit. cuban born maetriks techno pedigree is bulletproof.

minimal elektrohouse hit for this new chameleon black production! includes massive lele checchini remix!!

percussive latin bomb!! mixes by little louie vega/percussions by luisito quintero!!

hello repeat welcomes the new year with a long awaited 12 inch by cabanne. it’s a while ago since he released the last release on his own imprint minibar music in 2006, so we’re more than happy to present his follow up on hello repeat. with >keep going< and >trés chold<, the french confirmed jazzmann delivers two funky, bleepy, tracks and goes a little deeper again. further support comes from adultnapper, dj misk and raresh

two deeper minimal floopy techhouse tracks with a little hypnotizing influence

after two amazing releases on the enemyltd series by zahn and recently the joel mull its no time for the labels strongest artists to represent on this various artists ep. rob dowell steps up from lobotomy records, alessio mereu from italy already showcased his perfect style on analytic with his bomb ep. decimal is the next hype on enemy, he is doing extremly tight production and will have a new wave of very high class tunes released after the summer. his track on this ep is a good taste of what to come! last but not least zahn himself tops it all of and goes on where enemyltd 04 left us. in not so many words: a great ep!!!

ultradry minimal house combined with a plastic body. a little bit of acid dripped over it. for sure displaying some serious chicago influences of the guys... big with: claude vonstroke & laurent garnier,..!! for lovers of richie hawtin, riacrdo villalobos, magda, loco dice, huntemann,.

played by : ricardo villalobos, raresh, cle, 2000 and one, italoboyz, daniel stefanik, c-rock, agnes, efdemin, mathias kaden, cassy.... + sascha dive remix!!! nektarios danias alias nekes, co-founder and co-carrier of oslo records, presents his first ep: cristal. the main track is a top class club tool. with little, but tangible elements nekes creates an extatic ambience with high explosion risk. the same can be said about the sascha dive remix, that once again reflects the huge talent of this young german house producer. modernity combined with a classic touch and a big portion of deepness. waitin carries on with this energy and takes it to the morning hours. a driving track, full of soul.

the original version of cubik room its a cool, electro flavoured workout with an earthy bassline and skipping beats!! rino cerrone give us an brilliant example of th art of the remix, he twisting the original sounds ever so slightly and embellishing the arrangement with a little extra studio trickery to increase the pressure...god save rino!!! the other remix is made by mauro alpha, well known for this palette on boxer sport! a secure dancefloor killer!

imagine what would happen if the members of !!!, royksopp, the knife and justice had a shy lovechild and you re a little closer to fm belfasts core sound.
