after 9 successful years and 36 releases on their label >festplatten<, the teichmann brothers are already unleashing their third release, transistor vamp, on their new artist label teichtracks. true to the motto of the tt-series this offspring of analogue machinery is also designated for the dancefloor. the title track is a 12 minute trip, an unstoppable modulating organism from the deepest depths that subtly and powerfully creeps forth. you smell the greasy oil of detroit, you inhale the dusty air of berlin and when you open your eyes, the next day has already begunà here, the past is just as present as the present. deja-vu? or did transistor vamp already infect you during one of the brothers many live sets? those who turn the record over will find, alongside a condensed 7 minute edit of the title track, another independent micro organism. micro is a game of rhythm and bass, reduced to the very essence of groove. a poker face of a track whose accumulative tension spans 6 minutes. like a balloon filled to bursting it knows how to stretch its limits and, without badding an eyelid, it waits for the explosion. minimal? of course! but here you can still hear the groan of the mixer and effects!

nice price deal !!! hailing from melboune, australia, clubfeet are a three piece live band and production team whose vocal driven pop electronica has astounded listeners. their album gold on gold has drawn comparisons to hot chip, teenagers and junior boys but their comic lyrics and tear duct springing melodies bring much more than that. plant music is proud to present the first single from the album with remixes by electro synth wonder boy kap10kurt (of dangerseekers fame), ny/berlin indie dancers the glass and new york producer/remixer and blog hero eli escobar.

we once again welcome back diskjokke to the motherpupp after a succesful run of releases on smalltown supersound and kindisch. 2008 was a hectic year for joachim, putting together his live band, doing remixes for metronomy, foals and lykke li to name a few and spreading melodic, trance-inducing feelgood disko gospel around the world. asa nisi masa has been causing much mayhem the last 12 months even causing girls to offer me services i wont mention here...wibbly wobbly arpeggios massaging your buttocks...very very rude indeed as already showcased on the full pupp/greatest tits compilation, >cearadactylus< is definitely a different kind of beast. slow and chugging along at a tempo even fit for dinosaurs

luke hess creates deep detroit techno with a focus on soul and experimentation over prevalence and trends. his album, >light in the dark< on echocord further explores deep detroit dance music through field recordings, live percussion sessions, analog experimentation, and dark cavernous melodies

although jaxson and keno both have successful solo projects and have previously worked together before, this collaboration is bound to be their most notable release yet. a fusion of house, funk, latin and techno, all meet at the crossroads of their studios for a 4 track ep of sundry beats and fresh flavors. clearly the a-side, >tout le temps< is comprised of a clever hook and a hazy latino vocal sample, which carries the initial groove right into an originally played synth section. a good example of a refreshing approach to adding effects and using sounds. >tarantella< as the title might suggest, one might expect a track that would scare the living day lights out of you, but it has more of a >creeping up from behind you< sort of vibe. a subtlety creeping groove subliminally enters your unconscious mind carrying a secret message. what is that message you ask? dance! the congas on, >red baron< sound so live you can almost here the players licking their fingers. congas might be the groove in the heart of this tune, but the melody of the slick synth stabs and rising strings are what ultimately breath energy and spunk into this roller. >karate kid< initially has a minimal feel, but once the hacked up guitar and vocals come in, you can put those dirty thoughts to rest. abundant with an overwhelming amount of unique and interesting sounds, secure this tunes ability to prick up the ears of finicky djs and clubbers alike. it is rare to find such a wide variation of sound design on your run of the mill ep, but kindisch has proved they are not an ordinary label. they are consistently releasing quality tunes and always providing pleasant surprises. some might say it is a clichÚ, but this ep really does have a bit of something that will drive one club or another nuts

the enclave of both established artists and fresh undiscovered talent whose shared passion of deep underground detroit influenced house and disco are reflected in the quality output you will come to expect from the label. franc spangler, the revenge, zepp001, john daly, alpha child, 6th borough project, tuccifunk and pezzner are just some of the producers creating their work with tender loving care for delusions. dog01 will be setting the standard with the soul part ii from craig smith & the revenge. these boys are currently riding a wave of successful releases, mainly in the form of their disco and boogie edits under their 6th borough project guise on instruments of rapture. here we see them move into original production territory with a bass heavy slice of brooding and grooving floor friendly house but with their own unique twist. tempos are kept low, drums are kept live sounding and the subtle italo synth lines all ensure this track keeps true to their roots in disco. for their 6th borough project dub they dive head first into a slowly building, drum and percussion heavy workout which has a beautiful tension to it. this is music for small basements with big sound systems. finally we have john dalys beautiful interpretation where he opts for a blissed out, understated and hypnotic sound that wraps you up in layers of warm, echoing synths whilst the groove chugs along masterfully. a true mood setter or after hours classic

played by : ricardo, luciano, reboot, sascha dive, italoboys, melon.... friends meeting up to make, live and release the music they love... the following artists have contributed tracks to la peña so far : christian burkhardt & einzelkind meat & einzelkind, sascha dive, dorian paic & einzelkind, reboot, marquese, einzelkind, sercan, kia, fimo

behind this german-sounding pseudonym hides a lyrical, subtle and ambitious techno. mondkopf reveals on this ep his most federative facet with a tracklist in which immediacy never sacrifices imagination. this combination of a techno basis, trancy hooks and electronica sound processing make these nuits sauvages (wild nights) ambivalent, conquering and melancholy. la dame en bleu, his major piece, is already an underground hymn. les oiseaux de balthazar, mixes vocal pads, bells and birdcalls in a fantasy techno universe on a dynamic tempo. the result, once again, sounds absolutely unique. nuit sauvage softens the layers to emphasis on crunchy riffs and strong kicks, to finally come back to an epic dimension, always around in mondkopfs songs. remix side, matzak got hold of the very mental christmas, keeping its electro spirit.

cynosure flag ship artist and label navigator mike shannon reaches into his archives and selects the much-anticipated “the box ep.” “the box is open” was always a highlight of many of mr.shannon’s dj sessions and live acts. this cut delivers nostalgic, old school of detroit, soulful, techno jack. a ton to digest there but there really is no other way to sum it up. adam marshall graces the ep with a stormer of a remix. taking things a step further, adam really explores a different use of the chords given to you in the original. a smooth kicking set of drums and ever elevating sequences of synth keep you on your toes never really knowing exactly when things will drop. definitely a production trait that adam is best known for and it never fails on the floor. howie mangel

kyle hall graces us with another jazzy off kilter ear catching release, except this time hes not alone. kyle and four other young midwest musicians come together as bsmnt city anymle kontrol for the title track the perfekt sin, a real soul hitter. one of them is dorian fiddler son of heavy weight detroit producer amp fiddler, letting loose on live drums at age 17. love kontrol is an emotion steering eccentric groover thats sure to excite the senses with its elegant uplifting melodies. oatn out is a rhythm challenging avant garde dusty retarded joint that is a must listen to for the people who enjoy breaking the tempo and arent afraid to throw your average 4 on floor pocket out the window.

we re not sure if theres been a whole lot of russian vocal led synthy disco around of late / ever, but we definitely like the idea of it. and so we have the first release on the brand new tirk affiliated label nang. d pulses sound is a sonic cocktail that represents the different flavours of its ingredients. great for dancing, as well as regular home listening, making love or preferably cooking. you can call it russian house, full of spirit, soul and its own philosophy. now on to the tunes. the foto mix of more combines cold robo synth bass and stripped back rhythms with the haunting tale of love, loss and the ultimate fulitility of existence (probably). the original mix lives up to the live jam side to the d pulse manifesto with organic funk and jazzy chops leading the way. fellow russian alcos coolkas carries on where his new work on tirk left off, with simple but sparkling and sophisticated electronics working away with snippets of the vocal to mesmerising effect. the package rounds off with the spacey, warm, instrumental highway to saturn. nang has launched!

here comes the 14th release from stalwart. if its right sees parisian dj, producer and radio presenter leo cuenca delivering a soulful slice of house music that features the gorgeous lyrics and vocals of up and coming australian diva rachel claudio in one of her best studio performance to date. live organic musical elements add the right ingredients to this warm and relevant song. remixes come from nonetheless than prolific superstar brasilian producer dj meme that gives a more hypnotic version of the tune, while stalwarts very own dj rork comes up with a more driving and clubby affair.

donnacha costello returns with another release for his new label and platform, look long. the tragedy of the commons sees him continuing his mission to create work of lasting quality and beauty. gatsby has that most rare and ephemeral quality, that certain something not easily defined. work which is at once both raw and full of subtlety. something which is at once both instantly familiar and yet inescapably new. fathoms deep pulls the listener in with each rotation until we are so thoroughly hypnotised we cannot but surrender to its insistent, organic pulse. baritoneÆs melancholy lo-fi guitars and roland 606 drums wrap around us like a warm blanket on a cold night. a private oasis, a moment of comfort in a lonely city before the body gives in to sleep. this is no throwaway music. this is music to keep, to live with, to grow with. this is music in which comfort can be sought and solace found

aspekt strikes back with their actually release. the new great 4 track ep by marcio kantana includes the tracks funky sax, rock and sound and fashion touch, contrast itself with a great and special minimal sound. the guys of aspekt makes oneself conspicuous individually and want to go one better with their next record. as one of the most popular live acts in berlin marcio kantana has found his own style for himself that is extravagant and still afloat melodically. no wonder that the new aspekt release is not matchable with one of the previous records once again. moreover its worth it to hear a great remix from microtune & takter.

berlins tech house supremo, oliver koletzki lends his talents once again to the hell yeah stable with massive double a side single, >yes we can< & >nascita of the monsters<. both tracks feature olivers deep, infectious formula and never fail to stir up a frenzy from the caverns of fabric to the led lights of watergate in berlin. already a cult figurehead in his native berlin, oliver brings his brand of quality techno across borders, with an enviable list of live dates around europe and a slew of sought after releases on various labels like great stuff, trapez, stil vor talent, flash and hell yeah. after the critical acclaim of his last release on hell yeah, >music from the heart<, east berlins perennial bad boy teams up with roland clark of defected fame, who has worked with our very own fat boy slim and chemical brothers, for a unique emotive off-beat introductory track

after being charted throughout the past few months with his label s previous release >slower lov<, cesare vs disorder continues to deliver the goods on his >mean< imprint with a divine release from long-term friend and musician ollie silva aka canary fontaine. here we are again with some obscure yet funky, driving and danceable material, the recognisable trademark sound that mean has been carving for the past two years. there s a certain latin vibe throughout the whole ep that shows ollie s chilean background, especially when he adds his live musical skills with congas, toms, guitars, basses, voices, anything he can get his hands on! the productions on this release are delicate and refined, with >clothes horses< being a deep rhythmic and harmonious jazz adventure, while >arizona creeping< and >cindy says so (feat. eddie smith aka zippy)< result in some very solid minimalist bouncy techno, two powerful alternatives that simply roll many danceable and percussive elements into one package, perfect for dark rooms during journey times. cesare vs disorders noctambular version of >cindy says so< will be on the vinyl release to add some spice to the dancefloor in his usual psichadelic rockin way.

dass tracks aus dem hause reboot in der vergangenen cocoon-saison eine herausragende rolle spielten, dürfte niemandem verborgen geblieben sein, schließlich konnte sich der 30jährige frankfurter produzent frank heinrich bereits zusammen mit johnny d. im rahmen des >disco invaders<-cocoon ibiza summer mix in einer art live-jam-session austoben. umso verblüffender, dass erst jetzt nach releases auf below und cadenza endlich die erste reboot-12 inch auf cocoon erscheint. >ronson< macht mit seinem tribalistischen einschlag schnell klar, wohin die reise geht, mit alarmsirenen und druckluftausstoß zeigt sich heinrich hier so kompromisslos energetisch wie nie und bleibt dabei maximal pumpend, aber immer sexy. etwas abwartender strukturiert, gönnt das polyrhythmisch perkussive >mirasierra< dann den erschöpften tänzerinnen und tänzern eine kleine atempause, auch wenn die kräftig dub-verzierte bassline dabei ganz schön diskoide glücksmomente setzt. für die gefühlten tropischen momente im jetzigen frühjahr sind jedenfalls beide tracks bestens geeignet!!

aint no stopping us now. even if you might feel that the release pressure is on, we just cannot help to put out these gems (at least, we think thats what they are). what you hold in your hands (or on your laptop) is neo-house of the finest order. rhein-main kid robert dietz (cécille, be chosen etc.) was so kind to share his definition of h-muzik with us. to put it in a nutshell: >forward snipping< slices and cuts some nice vocal bits in a true ear candy way. even my brother gets goose bumps. >witness< sounds like a lost k.o.t. track resp. them being on the right track again and to round it all up, >faber mix< is a disc jockey tool that brings you from a to b or even z. and please, always keep paul >trouble< anderson in mind: a house is where you live in and a garage is where you park your car. loop d loop! already played by everyone…ha, ha, ha

uk born, japanese based max essa delivers us a tasty morsel and appetizer for his upcoming album on bearfunk. drive time is a slice of trademark slick, slo mo disco. with live drums, rolling bass synths and sundrenched chord changes, the track conjures up visions of sunsets, surfboards, highway 101 and long lazy days. irish based john daly delivers his re rub on the flip, adding in chunky stabs and rolling synth lines... but still managing to retain the slo mo feel.

reissue of album from 1975/a satisfying dramatics collection that includes their revised, campy version of me and mrs. jones, which had remained a staple of their live shows. astrology was riding high in the mid 70s, and (i m going by) the stars in your eyes provided fodder for astrological discussions as the guys poo poohed the differences in personality traits associated with the signs. a good balance of fast and slow tunes helps make this album a winner. good things dont come easy and never let you go are two frantic dancers that chug along faster than a speeding locomotive, while trying to get over losing you succeeds in treating losing your lover in a positive, uplifting way. the guys must have been loaded with material to keep this one off a 45. likewise for the aching, painful i cried all the way home, one of tony hesters best compositions, and easily the best ballad on the album.

superb sixth release on open source sees mutate & distort deliver a classic slice of acid on the a. flip for london warehouse live p.a legend t.t on a huge percussive tip & then tokyos dj tearz banging it with a slightly more electro vibe.

for the 25th release on recognition, one of the premiere polish export goods, label boss jacek sienkiewicz teams with a longtime friend, and extraordinary musician, chilean maestro pier bucci. both have been playing together for some time now, and this debut studio recording hopefully will not be the last. despite obvious cultural differences, both artists share some curious sensibility and/or sort of modern romanticism - underpinned either with latin optimism (bucci) or a kind of slavic melancholy (sienkiewicz). add to this the dopest tech-house beats available today, and dancefloor destruction is guaranteed.the title track is a cross-genre time bomb, obviouslydesigned to mess with the heads while the bodies can t stop moving. kicking off with driving, solid beat of almost live feel, soon it develops into a symphony of carefully crafted and meticulously assembled sounds. we are treated by some strange woodwinds, jokingly reminding of jacek s previous hit outing, beacon , and... is this the pope we hear talking for a moment...? …

these tracks do live up to their names - they are intense technogrooves that float around and through you like water and air.

krystian, ibrahim and marcin open up their machines and release all the crazy soundgnomes that live inside onto this piece of wax. and man, do they have fun!
