the eagerly awaited new single from camdens finest captain black is finally here. arriving on hot new label bumpman (the hawley arms pub s label off-shoot), home also to fellow north london outfit the brute chorus, >>sister<< is sure to further cement captain blacks reputation at the front of londons burgeoning indie-folk scene. live sessions on life fm and a number 1 indie single in japan seems to indicate that britain might not be able to keep them secret for much longer.

played by adam beyer (plus 8, madeye), paco osuna (plus 8) miss kittin, speedy j, laurent garnier, troy pierce (minus) , tim xavier... !! mr. rohr is back with another wicked release on clink! despite his heavy touring schedule, tony has taken the time to make us another eloquently composed ep, titled >little noises for big rooms<. this superbly crafted deliverance gives us yet another glimpse into the magic behind his captivating live pa, which has been keeping tony busier than ever this year

jesse siminski is one of those musicians its impossible to ignore. whether producing as heartthrob or alter-alter ego vivianne projects his work is instinctive, insightful and driven by an irresistible force that instantly rubs off on the audience. its no surprise then that the first single to be lifted from heartthrobs eagerly awaited debut album >dear painter, paint me< is >signs<, a track that fully demonstrates the extent of his repertoire. one of the highlights of his not-to-miss live set, its also become a corner stone of richie hawtins dj sets over the last few months due to the massive crowd response it generates whenever it drops. billed as homage to classic detroit techno, theres a real air of expectancy about the mix friendly introduction. the powerful kick pattern, swirling sci-fi vocal efx and loose hi hat groove soon make way for the urgent, cavorting main melody that spins off into another dimension before a massive, resonating synthetic bass wipes out everything in its path. one of the main ideas running through the album is the juxtaposition and layering of different rhythms and time signatures and this really comes across on signs, with disco and caribbean inflections adding a cut and thrust to the chugging groove, creating the perfect foil to the sonic mayhem overhead. the b-side features apprentice – a tag heartthrob can safely leave behind with the release of >dear painter, paint me<. of course its another guaranteed floor filler with a finely honed acidic riff that immediately taps into the subconscious...

plays: james holden ... the second release on apparillo music is a production by harald björk. a young and very talented swedish artist, who inspired us last year, with his fantastic - brus / luftlust ep on traum-schallplatten. harald is part of a young and very successful community of musicians to which also his friends petter and nathan fake belong to. on his nanting-dunkelt-ep, he shows us, that there are still undiscovered soundscapes and plenty of tone-resources available... so eat fresh!

norwegian songwriter, guitarist and vocalist ane brun is a rising star. with two norwegian grammys for best female artist and song of the year in 2005, her most recent and third studio album >changing of the seasons< entering the norwegian charts at 1 and the swedish charts at 2 the future looks very bright for her. now brun has connected with dennis ferrers - objektivity. ferrer has gathered an international cast of some of todays leading house and techno producers to take the works of brun one step further. the aptly named >ane brun objektified< full length will be released later this summer here is the first single, a taster of what is to come - bruns >headphone silence< remixed by henrik schwarz. schwarz composed his remix initially as a live lap top piece, mixing it down under the watchful eyes of close colleagues ame. on the flip you find a dixon edit

strong set of new mixes from soulshines own louis benedetti ranging from a n.y. style raw club vibe to an all live down tempo set of mixes that represents just like live music made in the 21st century should sound like, which to no surprise is creating a strong buzz among the soul/funk scene.

#1 in villalobos charts!! also supported by loco dice, troy pierce, dave clarke, dan curtin, agoria, anthony collins, ben sims, laurent garnier. >fearless fun< was taken from the >wilmslow road< ep on mind your head records, grimes own label. originally released in 2004, it only got remarked by a bigger audience when ricardo put it at number 1 in his chart two years later. because the vinyl was so hard to find - but way too good to remain unknown to the masses - we decided to license it with a big shot remix on the flip. because efdemin - incontournable since his amazing self-titled debut album on dial - loved the original so much, he agreed to give it a try. the result is a huuuge dancefloor tool as you can hear. a unique package you cannot miss out on!!

played by karotte, sebo k, shinedoes... >hamlin< leads us down a path so groovy, its hard to resist this dreamy tale from the very beginning. steady pushing drums define the tracks mood, amounting to a tactful combination of classic deep house vibes flowing freely against solid and functional percussive elements. drifting late night synths and childlike, ethereal chants osmose the mind of the listener, warming and arousing, spreading only positive energy on the dancefloor. deep vibes rec sascha dive takes hamlin off on his own trip, elegantly stripping down the groove of the original and spacing things out even further. this mix is a pure and prolonged snapshot of the orignals travelling mood, building the groove in subtler steps, emphasised by dives treatment of the chanting, spinning vocals and playful, live arrangement. opening with the same finely strung groove as >hamlin<, >snowflakes< introduces a beautiful and delicately dubbed melody amongst its bubbling rhythms

philly gypsy-swamp-rock-carny -soul-viking-vaudeville -punk collective. this record matches the fierce energy of their non-stop live show

conforming to abnormality unveiled a style of extreme metal that was completely unique in its makeup: blending mind melting guitar technicality with inhuman drumming, a wildly schizophrenic vocal attack, smatterings of jazz sensibilities and devastating sub bass blasts.

sonotheque is david campanini and alexi dendias as a producer and live duo that already has released a couple of reputable records on tenax records and on their own label sunplay. >get in trouble< is the name of the first 12 produced for doxa records that reveals two tracks from their sonic laboratory in florence and one remix by akiko kiyama (contextterrior, safari, lick my deck). get in trouble on side a is a sensitively produced minimal house track driven by a positive sub feeling. circus fm and circus fm remix on the side b keep it funky, minimal, but have got more a trance spirit that leads directly into after hours.

incl marcel dettmann rmx !! labelowner kevin gorman himself delivers here a great track called >seven eight nine<, recorded live at berghain !!

supported by loco dice, simon baker, fabrice lig, florian meindl, angel molina, josh wink and many more.. here at immigrant we are thrilled to present an outstanding ep from our youngest prodigy. hailing from the uk’s murky midlands, 20 year old subb-an is rapidly proving himself a producer to watch in 2008 through his residency and explosive live sets at birmingham’s renowned below party, and a successful release on leftroom earlier this year..

neues moby album, da schaut er ganz bewusst auf die letzten 20 jahren des clublebens in sachen house zurück... runde sache

two tracks which have been tested to satisfaction in live sessions around the globe during the last months, loved by the girls, envied by the boys, two dense character studies of epic scale where every small detail morphs into a very hookline, relaxed and ambitious at the same time. yep, this guy could even produce a soundtrack to a speck of dust and still everybody would think it’s star wars.

next big strike from style rockets.. this time by jan driver

poussez is the electronic bastard child of london based producer, dj duo jafar and maxime cescau. established artists and record label directors in their own right?.. jafar of course popping up on a few of our previous releases. poussez brings the pair blasting through to house musics cutting edge in the 21st century. the pair are continuing to change the deep house formula in the zeroes marrying a more melodic sensibility with the abrasiveness of electro, darkness of minimal and dancefloor punch of techno. natural conditions is deeper than the proverbial abyss, >natural conditions< rocks a skankin square-bass around the sort of synths freeranges >square one< has become renowned for. 4am crowd grabbing deepness!on the flip, from its opening synths, deliciously washing over you like an incoming electronic tidal wave, >tell me how you do< grabs the listeners attention. it has that timeless mid 90s deep house feel without being outmoded and, for those paying attention, will be noted as poussezs trademark opening track on their live sets

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!

born as an underground anthem in manchesters famous hacienda club, guru joshs >infinity (1990s… time for the guru)< grew to become the biggest dance record of 1990 selling millions of copies and breaking charts worldwide. the standout cut with the dreamy saxophone became one of the first acid house crossover hits ever (in germany it stayed 14 weeks in the top ten) and a true genre classic! after a longtime hiatus from the music scene the keyboard wizard josh finally returns in 2008 as the guru josh project together with producer snakebyte and dj dazperkz to bring back the magic with >infinity 2008<. at the world premiere in march at bigcitybeats 4th birthday party guru josh was performing live in front a thrilled and enthusiastic party crowd – establishing a record attendance at cocoon club frankfurt!

straight up bent techno. a fierce jacking groove with an outrageous sub-bass element and awesome live drumming. this one has echoes of funky industrial stuff like nitzer ebb but is 100% of the moment.

ricardo villalobos, magda, karotte, loco dice, monika kruse, martinez, 2000andone, tiefschwarz, matthias tanzmann, ben klock, lauhaus, raresh...we proudly present our first release on cécille numbers the new sublabel from cécille records. the first release comes from the greek producer lemos and is splitted in two parts. on two tracks he worked together with his friend ilan manouach and conjured two amazing vibe and atmosphere live recorded saxophone tracks that will catch your ear for sure. the other tracks use the perfect balance between rhythmic and vocal sounds. all four tracks are sure shots for every music lover. hope you enjoy…

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

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

wonkey techno from the subhead member..

taken from the upcoming mix cd!! already big with: stephan bodzin & dubfire oliver huntemann has been doing his thing for quite a while, under various guises, as dj and producer. since 1995 he has been running the confused rec. label (plus sub-labels). >play! 01 live - sao paolo/brazil< in 2007 was the predecessor of his current mix album >play! 02 live - rex club/paris<. especially for this event oliver has produced a new single: >play! 02 ep - paris/la boum<. it seems that these two tracks are able to be the next big thing. already played by big names such as dubfire, stephan bodzin and many others!

freerange celebrates its 100th 12inch release with a double vinyl release (this is part 2) including brand new tracks from key artists including jimpster, only freak/spirit catcher and palm skin productions. jimpster starts proceedings with a brand new track entitled got a hold on your soul, an appropriate title for a track that ll draw in the dancefloor with its warm, shuffling beats, lush chords and bleepy fx. palm skin productions lose it beefs things up a bit for an edgy tech house track with plenty of funk. belgiums only freak return with mental overdrive (remixed here by their alter egos spirit catcher). they round things off in suitably driving fashion with a powerful, stripped back monster of a track. spirit catcher have been enjoying huge success with their releases as well as awesome live gigs around the world.

radio is one of the highlights of felix da housecat fantastic third album, virgo blaktro & the movie disco. its a shimmering three minute synth soul reverie. with its cascading i cant live without my radio chorus and dippy goosebump melody, radio could be a kissing cousin of buggles 80s hit video killed the radio star. needless to say, its tailor made for the airwaves and is already picking up strong support the board.
