mihalis safras presents his sneaky little minimal monster! listen and start dancing instantly on this one !! big!!

million dan is the man of the moment. with his killer album on the streets he is quite rightly regarded as the top uk mc right now. this little 7 inch is not as cheeky as it sounds. sam webster (aka sloth from headcount records) was working on some admin with the million dappa records team and when he heard the scream out original track he was really into it, but felt it could do with a re-rub that brought the energy out of million dans vocal delivery.

the original mix starts a complex roller, with a discreet but powerful bass line under some seriously hectic beats. the breakdown sees this track take a more musical tone and shows great depth, this one focuses on progressing themes throughout, and will appeal to those who like things a little left of centre

ultraphat driven hard techno 4 tracker

the original mix and possibly still the most edgey mixes feature on part 2... killer tune for the summer 2008

some of the biggest hed kandi & data releases get the hard 2 beat treatment...

sounderground records return with their 7th release this time with a little help from the ubiquitous, patrick zigon, who delivers a storming ep. patrick has fast been gaining attention amongst the dancefloor community with numerous outstanding releases and remixes, with no sign of letting up. he has already garnered a big following having remixed for labels such as cocoon, trapez, treibstoff, be as one and kling klong, as well as his own productions on labels such as tanzbar and puzzle traxx, including the awesome >mental draining ep<.

ryralio records are back with its latest release by a young and very promising talent rising straight from the heart of lithuania. please welcome santi touch! the release starts with original version of candle. this floorshaker combines sharp and shaking beats with some electrified and jazzing vibes which will make a real move on your dancefloor. spin science remix enters deep spaces with sound that we call nordic house. it’s a little bit progressive,a little bit spacey and always deep – exactly what you can hear on other spin science releases on labels like plastic city, rotd and urbantorque. the release is closed by whare wurlitzer dub. this deep and dubby version is brought to you from vienna‘s freshest project whare. watch out for those guys as their new record label takes departure in a few months and it will hit your record players quite heavily.

after two releases on black hole’s songbird label, the two guys masterminds throw in another little masterpiece and this time on move recordings. their latest productions were supported by many important artists like minilogue, extrawelt, dominik eulberg, tiësto, armin van buuren, marco v, rank 1, mr sam, etc

brand new label kickstarts with a little electrohouse number al la margots torch

survival of the fattest, created by producer mike pelanconi (lily allen, blur, gregory isaacs) to help celebrate stussys 25th anniversary, melting classic 70s reggae with modern day dub.

steve kotey needs little introduction, head honcho of bear entertainment, an accomplished producer and a member of chicken lips. kotey is joined on this record by max essa. having previously released on paper recordings back in 2001 max also played guitar with the infamous, long distance runners. steve & max have delivered 3 beautiful records in the shape of the salon de l herbe series. this ep offers up everything good that is disco from the up tempo 1974 a side to the spaced out vibes of 1988. if that wasnt enough this 12inch release is finished off with a 3 rd track 1981 on the cosmic/balearic tip. the years may become confusing but with live drums, guitars and slick arrangement words cant do these productions justice. more to come from these two with a follow up in the salon de l herbe series dueto be released in june/july 08, exciting stuff!

dj support by: richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, josh wink, john selway, john acquaviva, onur Özer, pascal feos, martin eyerer, florian meindl, ascii disko, dj emerson, dr motte, tom wax... teaming up again, thomas and andreas took their safari hats, went deep into the dark machine-djungle and brought with them these three little nasty tunes ! mosquito opens up with its itching fat beat and its stitching nasty melody, soon to be heard on the expeditions throughout the disco-djungle on this planet ! mosquitofalle is the next trap you will soon be falling into and safari takes you on a lovely lasting trip... but beware of the big animals

support from todd terje, lindstrom, ewan pearson, james murphy, mylo, nightmoves, toby tobias!! debut release from dundee’s sam annand, full of deep and dubby electronic beats, live drums and twisted jazz chords. the >birds of prey< ep is the first instalment in what is set to become an album project in the second half of 2008. from the dubbed out title track >birds of prey<, muted soundscapes of >sleeping bear lament<, crunchy off-beat drums on >into the cosmos< and ending with the driving little electro rhythm >packard<, the percussive energy in this music knocks you sideways and leaves you baited for the next rhythmic twist. a few demos of this ep have been circulating, and have caused quite a stir already. architeq’s live set is already a huge, talked about and memorable experience. sam moved to london a year ago so expect his

incl mark broom remix, big with patrick lindsey, karotte, sebbo !! the next snork brings you two_em from berlin who is known from his releases on lables like rotary cocktail which is also a label you could often find in the m_nus head playlists of richie hawtin, skript music, peace road records, stadtgruen or his upcoming remix on kiddaz.fm. on the monsterside there is the remix by mark broom who had great releases on pure plastic, dimmer rec., platzhirsch ltd. or toys for boys. it s a bit straighter as the original and has a little touch of older tresor releases.

hanson & schrempf with banging hard techno action styled up with a little fun factor

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers

the second release on this hard techno label presents some of the big upcoming stars in the scene. the record starts of with the intro and track of label owner orman bitch. orman is defenitely on his way to the top with big releases on cannibal, jli, fatallic and more. next on the a-side jason little who is creating a big stir in the scene with the releases on jasons mask! he is known for his ultrahard style and even sneaks a few dirty samples in.. on the flip we find two equally hard productions of dj hamy from hungary and schranzao da santos...

andrés first release for simple records >wanna feel< is all about the resonant, hypnotic bassline that steadily opens out to reveal more layers of harmony. little sounds and licks of melody dance around the bass whilst strings and stabs build the hook into one big crescendo. brooks melancholic strings, cleverly cut up the bassline and an eerie soundscape pushes the vibe of the original into a darker more sinister techno place….this is the lights out, heads down, touch me in the dark kind of groove that we love! finally >move< is an absorbing and patient deep house gem. plunging into a backdrop of prodded keys that subtly shift in shape and tone, a central synth melody climbs to euphoric climax before retiring back to waves of throbbing bass and rolling percussive loops

funky little house number with a touch of disco and electro!! mixes by soulshaker, fonzerelli and wayne g & porl young!! not to be missed

welcome to the deepest nightmare of pulshar, welcome to nospheratus territory. an unforgettable trip into the darkest side of the bands soul, inspired by the cult movie nospheratu, this is one of the greatest dub and melancholic tracks of the year. a trippy bass and envolving melodies for an instant bloody dub joy. rod modell and steven hitchell take the controls on the b side and produce one of their best reworks yet under their echospace alias. they have reduced the original track to a deep and emotional piece. a majestic cavalcade into dub techno, a composition full of rich textures which remind of a cloudy day in detroit city, accompanied by a subtle conga that kicks off from the middle of nowhere and turns out really smooth, deep & dark. a little different than the material from their album on modern love, more reduced into the deepchord sound, a little more scaled back

phonogenics >postcard< is slow burner, building and rising to a eventual climax of melancholic underwater deepness. this song will no doubt be played by those in the later time slots and anyone who wants to add a little journey to their mixes. our main man dex aka dave barker is back with another slice of some quality melodic quirky goodness. >yikes!< has a very chopped up funk/soul feel mixed with solid house beats. studio trickery and a hidden japanese opera helps the track evolve from its soulful beginning to another world entirely. finally, we are very pleased to bring you the first of many musical efforts from amantu wilde. not much is known about amantu as he is a bit of a recluse and does not offer up much information about himself. >g-g-got my eyes on you< is a very retro sounding track reminiscent of some classic new wave jams. pseudo industrial percussion and excellent filter work make this track something to remember. something strange for sure but we think people will like the break from the mod rn sounds

sweet n candy brings a very well rounded ep to doc. rico henshel (aka sweet n candy) is another techno veteran who needs little introduction. the wicked keeper ep also features a remix by doc label boss, aaron hedges, and beaner (who is also s o o n to release his 2nd record on rekids - radioslaves label)

for everyone who has liked playing around with made to play tracks over the past few years but possibly missed the limited edition vinyl now is your chance to get your hands on four of the most popular tracks. as a little teaser from the forthcoming >playing around< label compilation, here are some of made to plays top moments. this includes a remix of magik johnsons >scanning for viruses< by the jolly giant himself, claude vonstroke, >would it?< by trevor loveys and jesse rose under the guise of izit, the huge >block party< from buckley and >wake up< which was a landmark collaboration between jesse rose and made to plays rising star, oliver $. with the hype surrounding the first re-release of these tracks, the made to play world tour and the >playing around< compilation cd, this will be at the top of every proper house fans shopping list.

new joyful noise on the map. from the ground to the sky is atmospheric, deep grooving, percussion led afro funk!! flip for 2 mixes by blockheadz hedi benromdan, who funks things up a little bit!!

krischmann & klingenberg have already become remarkable in several times. in cause of their individual sound. with releases on skull tunes, compressed or on frank kvittas label unknown power, they have pointed what they are able to do. whether on the home dance floors or in the century circus. the boys have simply found the right mixture of straight- and a little funky inclined techno. flotek & mario kinle come directly from vienna to your home. their tracks circulate in many different forums and bump almost only into positive resonance. it is the time to get both on vinyl. sound, uncompromisingly up to the last blow.

all already 5 smashing releases of very high quality in a relatively short time on minisketchs little brother minisketch500 it is now time for the new one on the big label. af ter the absolute hit of paul ritch on 5 and the equally massive follow-upon 6 by ludovic vendi it is now time f or aquillina (cocoon, trapez) and del prete to show y ou their hit record of this year! big minimal tracks that will rocky our body for sure! with all the right ingredients, catchy samplework and anuplif ting melody this will appeal to the masses!! you know what to expect on this label, dont miss out!!

thumping house gear from ferrer and sydenham on this 10inch release on ibadan. behind a booming bassline and a little french kiss synth influence as well, double penetration is perfect for that late night floor action, with a little progressive feel in the sweeping synth lines setting it off just right. both mixes glide effortlessly along - in fact if you get 2 copies and play both sides one after the other, the results would be outstanding!

support comes from adultnapper, italoboyz, jimpster, karotte, laurent garnier, david keno, pheek, sasse and sebo k. it has been clear since his very first release, in late 2006 with ‘auftrieb’ on karmarouge, that alexander roland is an exceptionally talented producer. at 17 years of age and with little more than one year since his first production effort, alexander roland releases his second 12 on karmarouge

support : richie hawtin / tobi neumann / villalobos / dj hell / onur Özer / karotte / gregor tresher / butch / david keno / popof / monika kruse... though the last heckmann - silverscreen is still rotating on the decks of the planet and in the cases of the great entertainers, he strikes again with his brand new series called las vegas ! it will be a story of three 12 inches that will lead to a complete cd album with extra tracks to complete the whole ! the main track las vegas is rushing in like a storm and is rocking as if there was no tomorrow ! fat beats, fat bassline and countless little far out effects, that will tickle your synapses big time ! the second track neon grave takes the story further and will lift even the last man on earth with its electro-latino feel, illuminating bassline and the heckmann style effect-arrays

4 different artists, 4 different tracks around the main theme outer space!!!

another wonky dancefloor gem from the robots. a little more straight up and detroit esque than their last offering so sure to see even more peak time action in the 21st century global discotheque.

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

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<

a dont miss package that will captivate house crowds from manchester to madrid, get your mitts on these little beauties and watch your dancefloors ignite!

another superb duo of edits from the ever on form disco deviance label! this time they ve recruited uk dj and producer super hero ashley beedle to add his celebrated heavy disco touch to these two lost classics. inner city express s little known cover of patrick adams killer dance & shake your tambourine is a joyous disco cut with a psychedelic flavour and truly amazing funk inspired breaks, dancefloor dynamite guaranteed. flip for a seriously skilled re edit of disco pornstar andrea true connections party line, taking the vibe of the original to a new level for modern floors. both edits were done on tape machines and manually spliced in...

germany’s finest house duo knee deep deliver a slick, fiesty little 4 tracker entitled the ‘big love ep’. showcasing their clubbier edge the guys take a step back from the big vocal workouts to drop 4 king-sized, groove-infused house gems - each one equally playable, bursting with their unmistakable midas touch, and set to cut it amongst any dancefloor worth its salt. this ep got already massive support from the defected camp including a feature of the forthcoming defected compilation >miami in the house< there’s plenty of music for all on here

finest driven hard techno madness by dj arcane, krischmann & klingenberg!! incl nitram remix

four big disco edits!! a side feat hi - a prog disco bomb par excellence and black a slightly more wonky track, with its off kilter beats, underwater vocals and strings on top for a very weird outing indeed!! lime on the b side is an edit of yellos oh yeah! cow is a pretty awesome squelchy little disco number with a top vocoder on top

the third release from splitloops second album pleasure machine is another pounding, electro breaks monster. electricity mixes squeaky synths with retro and glitchy vocals. on the flip, release remove, a cheeky little stomper. computerized vocals, and fast paced synth stutters. once again the boys have unleashed a classic!

new hardtechno stuff with big support from rush, kroecher and pet duo !!

on the previous release of dualblock taras van de voorde, estroe and thomas lauren all dropped great tracks. on this release the same three dutch producers are represented. thomas lauren on the a-side comes forward with >fairwinds gossip<. a quality track that is great for warming up any crowd. on the flip side estroe takes us a little deeper into the night with >beatbox contest<. a techno based track with a nice drive, making clear estroe is influenced by the detroit sound

lingo recordings back in action after a 7 month hiatus, but boy was it worth the wait… slum sciences danny white turns into two wicked cut that are on the deeper side of the house spectrum, yet still have plenty of jack to work any prime-time dancefloor. >she likes it< features a full on underground groove that reminds us of hodges material. >absense< is a touch deeper and features some really cool filtered string samples - hot! remixes come courtesy of jt donaldson (aka mr can-do-no-wrong) who delivers a slammin deep soulful, musical outing that is perfect end of the night stuff, and nu-jack dudes rthm who twist and turn the track into a funky jacker. this ep is no joke folks, a smoking release that has a little something for everyone

taken from the aptly titled sacrilege lp of remixes from 1997. here we have a 1-sided 12inch featuring carl craigs bladerunner mix. so hows it sound? well its one of those that never drops, instead building on a rapid fire set of hand-claps, some nice little filtered synth fills, a little bit of vocal. basically those elements twisted, turned and arranged in the way only carl craig can (or did in 97)
