hot on the heels of the first remix package comes these new versions of >darko<. the latest and last single to be taken from booka shaden s acclaimed >movements< album, these remixes will have maximum dance floor impact! first up are brothers ali and basti schwarz, aka tiefschwarz. always at the forefront of house music, their treatment is based on a stripped back, stuttering rhythm and resonating blips and bleeps. it s the perfect track for when the club is locked onto the dj s groove, and the chiming bells make it sound even more trance-like. booka shade themselves are the next remixers, and their >le grand noir< is their live version of >darko<. retaining the original track s epic, infectious hooks, the remix uses a pumping bass-heavy groove tailor made for peak time or festival usage

detroit producer colin zyskowski has quickly established himself as one of the top producers coming out of detroit. releases on toratoratora, people mover as well as tracks for paxahau mixed with his dynamic live sets propelled colin’s output. ‘adrift’ is the long player. grabbing build up on layers of mimimal grooves and digital sequencing. flip it for the wandering ‘always have’ and the soft beats of ‘fuck up’

""highgrade is back with another smash by our heroes phage & daniel dreier, a crew having an enormous flow at the moment, be it on the wheels of steel, as an explosive live act or on vinyl.they submitted us three more minimal trax out of their dark chambers, dry as hell, hypnotic and psychedelic, but with such an outburst of creativity and flexibility you just can`t categorize these trax. we are pretty sure this trax will validate some floors on their stableness; file under hypnphouse and keep the damn frequency high!.""

radio is a true rocker with delicate melodies and solid beat programming, it reminds us of early dirt crew flavours and therefore it is the perfect addition to the label catalogue. catchy vocals and a nice flow troughout the whole track makes this single a special release out of london city, very similar to the sounds of people like mike monday and the playtime crew. the first remix is by the bassthedub heroes 2020 soundsystem. they transform the track in a great minimalistic stomper, fully loaded with tons of bass and a great live feel to it. following in the footsteps of their highly acclaimed latest album the 2020 crew made their typical bouncey bass edit of this track. the flip offers you another deep and spacey rework by dirt crew

released across 2 separately packaged 12s, feeling free could be the closest thing to a summer anthem that soul music has had in quite a while !! hoop , whose soulclap updates of 90s hip-hop classics have garnered praise and plays from all angles, has worked his sample-adelic magic using jazz pianos and horns to bring fresh harmonies to an already musically rich work. coming across like a drum heavy quantic, this mix is one for the beat heads, as is its flip-side partner, which is delivered by natural self , (breakin bread /tru thoughts). as usual his drums are raw, his bass looms large and the authentic live funk feel is kept alive and heavily kicking

bugz in the attic release the second single from the inspired debut album back in the dog house,a live favourite and deftly handled cover of yarborough and peoples 1980 bassline heavy dont stop the music. bugz, pioneers of deep and dirty dance music, brought a brimming confidence along with the experimentation of their debut, which glistens with stone cold funk, boogie and disco but remains resolutely contemporary thanks to their immersion in club culture and the broad pool of guest vocal talents at their disposal. for dont stop the music former basement jaxx collaborator sharlene hector was given the task of re doing a bugz favourite, and the result is an out and out west london bruk up twist that takes the basslines from p funk, the soul of the original and a certain pirate radio grit and delivers the very essence of bugz.

remember the infamous scene from the movie deliverance? the one with the retarded kid and the grown man going all out in a play off, an acoustic guitar vs a banjo… anyway, lindstrom finally got around to play & record the banjo he bought in nyc last summer. it takes time to practise & learn to play the banjo. lindstrom needed a year to make the simple banjo-lick used on >the contemporary fix<, the 9th feedelity release. you might think the use of banjo, autoharp & clavinet together with acid squiggles on top of live disco-drums is a most unusual combination? well, here s the soundtrack to deliverance 2006

repeat orchestra (aka stefan schwander aka antonelli electr., rhythm maker, one half of the duo swimmingpool as well as being behind >a rocket in dub<) returns with another 12inch in his purest form of his electronic soul, based around live-performances, orchestral instrumentations and deep house. in a post-modern manner, the >asafa chords ep< operates differently as opposed to the standard sampling clichès of standard house-tunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. the two pieces follow a minimal yet above the norm musical approach, with tricky and advanced rhythms and a strong groove that lets the listener dive deeper into the world of a one-man-band, who likes to express his version of afro-futuristic housemusic by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and lots more of his personal flavour into his production. . the result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor that will guaranteed stand out from the rest.

the members of my my met and became friends through common interests in music, but it wasnt until they ended up as neighbours in berlins mitte, that a lifestyle of committed partying, cake baking and long studio sessions lead to their debut release on playhouse >klatta< in early 2005. it was the result of previously downtempo producer lee jones (hefner) working and partying with local berlin djs nick höppner and carsten kleeman, who are residents respectively at panorama bar and watergate. following up their recent fantastic 12inch on circus company butterflies & zebras is beautifully tripped-out expansive ambient house, summer after-hours here we come! recorded live with nick and lee layering fx over the organic percussion as the mix develops. an acid infused bassline is slowly opened out as layers of lush strings and shimmering pads are teased into the arrangement. on moneybowl the boys show the more jacking side of my my. taught and lean with a groove that keeps on evolving, while weird and wonderful bleeps and clicks bounce around the mix. for the remix, john dahlbäck twists the pads from the original and adds his own synth stabs. then pulls out a bassline and arrangement that jumps straight onto the dancefloor

good guys never make it to the top, or so the saying goes. ours is an era in which most of the people who >break through< barely deserve to be allowed to live, never mind have their own radio shows. however, the continued rise of the model aka radu munteanu is almost enough to rekindle your faith in that old adage about cream floating to the surface. the angels unknown fears ep is a prime slice of gigolo action

this ep is an exclusive collaboration between joakim and former minimal compact singer samy birnbach, an offshoot of dj morpheuss compilation >i cant live without my radio< in a punk-funk vein with raw analog synths and fierce guitars (featuring panicos guitarist, memo dumay). on the flip side, we have asked rub n tug, probably the best remixers in 2005, to put their hands on minimal compacts nil nil. gothic electro disco !!
