neil landstrumm and sugar experiment station aka s.e.s. join their forces on iron oxide #3 to demonstrate their fighting spirit. pure technolektro mayhem!

for the very first time on kitsune to the exception of a remix! etienne de crecy does an impressive live show with cubes highly recommended. with daft punk, air and alex gopher, he is a member of the french producers club who made history. his track here is techno in the old and noble sense of the term. ultraviolence on the dancefloor. each time its played in clubs, faces look like they are melting, the crowd is on its knees, begging for mercy and they are happy to be there. then >hanukkah< also works in the car monsieur jo, etiennes partner here, is a sound engineer and has produced albums for phoenix and cazals.the ep includes remixes from rising french producers les petits pilous and kitsunes favorite australian dj beni!

limited double lp version. it comes housed in a gatefold replica lp package. tonight is the brand new album from franz ferdinand recorded between glasgow and london by dan carey. explosive and infectious, and undeniably franz ferdinand, but a bigger, brighter beast. tonight is music of the night: to fling yourself around your room to as you psyche yourself for a night of hedonism, for the dancefloor, flirtation, for your desolate heart stop, for losing it and loving losing it, for the chemical surge in your bloodstream. its for that lonely hour gently rocking yourself waiting for dawn and it all to be even again.

crystal is a live band from tokyo also known as sunao maruyama altogether influence by yoko ono, depeche mode, human league, cristina or art of noise, and you can surely tell listening to their productions. here they grant us with a 5 tracks ep on french famous institubes inprint filled with fm synths, machine drums from the past, and analog tools...

already supported by johnny d., someone else, laurent garnier, jennifer cardini, florian meindl, david keno.. erich lesovsky is the newest addition to stil vor talents exciting artist roster. here comes someone who is totally fascinated and absorbed by technology, someone who only performs as a live act in the clubs and - in the time of digital machinery - still works on constructing his own devices to make music with. after singles for wba and keno records, it is now the time for his first release on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent imprint and mr. lesovsky is very happy to be part of the family. so are we, of course! not only, but also because his first ep is a killer display of musical wizardry. it stars off with >bell a donna<, a minimal funk-laden piece of music that is mainly based on some crisp beats, many warm effects and sounds and a melody so simple, yet so encapsulating to capture the heart of every dancer in the club. this is oldskool minimal funk at its best! next up is >93 percent<, a title that might be misleading at first, because this track sounds more like 150 percent really. a great loop made of fidgety techno hi-hats and some wonderful warm analogue sounds - this could well be termed a new form of fidget techno. last up is >riot beatz<, an experimental display of minimal sound design, yet still very danceable. lots of crystal bashing beats, a pumping bass and many little effects - this will definitely be one for the dancefloor in the morning hours. not only does e. lesovsky seem a master of sound, his expertise seems to cover the perfect creation of warm, yet basic tech anthems and his influences seem to come from all sorts of musical directions, from hip-hop to funk to house back to techno. it is the easiness with which he delivers his music that makes his sound designs so special!

after 2 successful eps and massive remixes for metronomy and whomadewho its now time for more discodeine vinyl action. this third ep called tom select is definitly dedicated to the dancefloor... frankly, the track speaks for itself but if you need some influences lets say smith n hack/lfo/frankie bones... but you should know by now that discodeine is only sounding like discodeine right? the remixes are provided by some people that we admire for a long time: la horse (danton eeprom & ivan smagghe) and joakim. la horse provided a trippy remix, with live drums, electronic wizzardy and insanely beautiful pop harmonies while joakim is more on that nasty techno vibe we all love.

the cologne based grossprojekt arose in 2006 from the rather coincidental neigbourship and clubbing friendship between techno dj and live act bastian bue?r and breakbeat producer alex cwicek. the year 2008 marks the end of their deliberate reluctance: their debut release on debox combines the different roots of the two artists to a new creative entity, resulting in an amazingly effective piece of techno in querschlaeger. raumkruemmung on the flipside works a bit like its own, streamlined transmission onto a straight bassdrum monotonous, raw and uncompromising.

minefield e.p. is the second real soon release by dublin-based italian producer leopoldo rosa (aka lerosa). on this 4-track ep leo brings us more of his warm, loose-limbed, us-influenced, abstract house experiments and, on the snappy title track minefield, refers back to his earlier electro sound. whatever the style, leo has a distinctive touch and a refreshingly simple, unpretentious production style - letting the machines do their business with the minimum of fuss. leo has started to build a strong reputation over the past two years with a series of excellent releases on real soon, enclave recordings, a touch of class, uzuri and millions of moments and has recently entered the live arena - look out for him in a club near you

tom dazing is an upcoming artist from brussels who has released on mb selektions, heimatmelodie, coincidence, veryverywrongindeed and toysforboys already and with his new ep >black magic< releases his debut on trapez. tom has a powerful production technique and a cool old school appeal which he fuses with modern sound design. his new release features >divulge< and >cable strap< two peak time techno trax with a heavy 303 bassline that will rock all big floors. >divulge< the a-side is destined to be a berghain hit. the track is a monster. its attitude is down to earth... keeps it simple but effective. >cable strap< on the flipside is a new modern version of music that we believe used to be the post chicago sound manifested by robert armani and friends. >cable strap< is a super cool heavy rocker with a siren sound that will turn clubs upside down, joined by delicate use of 303 basslines. >temper< the digital bonus track has more of an atmospheric deep feeling to it! tom has been voted in belgium in the top 10 chart of the best national producers in 2007 and 2008 and was voted into the to chart top 10 national live acts

big support by james holden: i love this one, josh wink: deep stuff! nice!, karotte, miss kittin: sweet rave flashback, pig&dan, toni rios, remute and more

big with : loco dice, luciano, sis, reboot !!! the release is the last of the masomenos live mix project... and close the serie of 8 eps that were released for this... a sided les 3 petits cochons is a real dancefloor tune, heavy and funky, as in the tale, you can feel the wolf blowing and the little pigs running... on b side, loco is an old - school sound track, deep and moody, with some crazy vocal asking for some bass... b2 , turtle is back, is a dubby re-do of one of the first masomenos production...turtle trip... same mood, heavier groove....slowly but surely the melody gets in your head to mesmerise you...

bonus round is back, the glitterati fashionista ep by ben pest unloads 4 original genre bending tracks that contain elements of techno and p funk, all ready to cause ruin to the discotheque! jumpadelic is a heavy chicago influenced, gangster funk workout. the tune has been causing a stir as part of bens live set with a vocal hook that gets everyone jacking! theres a party inside my mouth is a hard and crunchy electro funk track with some wobbly synths that will warp minds. lukes anger checks in with a futuristic re work of now panic adding some spookiness to the twisted original. tiny beginnings rounds off the ep with a slower tempo and more funk laden grooves, lots of cheeky sounds keep the mind hooked while the ass follows...

third single from the imps (aka minilogue & decoy) remix album. move ds remix is a boogie deep house track. he raised the bpm a little bit and made a dj friendly version. thomas fehlmans remix is more a re edit thing – definitely the right way, psychedelic and deep as always.

fimo is the project of three guys from the music city of mannheim. each of them has a variety of musical roots, which in combination developed to an ambitious and productive trio. the influences are ranging from deep house enriched with jazzy and dubby elements to minimal groovy tunes. these guys have been musically active in the rhein/neckar region for many years. with the pollenflug ep they present their first release and allow for a small view on their interpretation of electronic music. besides djing and studio work, fimo are currently working on their live performance. the ep already got huge support from loco dice, luciano, ray okpara, johnny d, nekes, federico molinari, pablo bolivar, lars behrenroth!

outland records proudly presents the debut release by two very young dutch lads who call themselves loops. they have already gained much attention the past few months with their stunning live-performance, creating mayhem everywhere they play. luckily the gents found some time to record two uberfunky floorfilling tracks which will please both dj and crowd when played out loud. tuner is one hell of a groovy piece with nice breaks and vocal snippets which will get you dancing your ass off. what the song 16, maybe 17, maybe 18 is all about we dont know (you figure it out), we do know that this track will get the people to move their butt to the dancefloor.

deadmau5 is back with huge smash hit >ghosts n stuff< and the minimal >peddler of misery<. ghosts n stuff was written especially for deadmau5s essential selection live from the warehouse project manchester. a new musical direction for the mau5, ghosts n stuff is a gigantic slab of french house. big organs and synths collide alongside a killer bassline and tight percussion. ghosts n stuff looks like being one of mau5s biggest hits to date. peddler of misery is the complete opposite to ghosts n stuff with its minimal arrangement and trippy double beat. the percussion is delayed and crazy, helping to create real messed up dancefloor moments!

after w & p hugg aka hugo giner from valencia had scored a veritable underground hit with >sleep scott heron< the last release on his higly collectable cornuta imprint and after an excellent ep on spains deephouse flagship deep explorer, he know brings more heat on cornuta accompanied by deep explorers dubbyman and his brother above smoke returning the favor on the remix tip. on the self-explaining >funkstart< and the percussive pressure-cooker >basic groove< w & p hugg gloriously displays his great ability to strip down his tracks to the addictive essences of deephouse without unnecessary gadgets or pointless tootling: pure irresistible grooves with classic funk basslines, vocal snippets and simple rhodes keys to warm the heart - straight up heat! dubbyman builds a completely new complex midpaced groove around funkstarts original chords , while above smoke drops the 4/4 drum altogether for a swinging broken beat mix with live bassline and nice jazz guitar licks. absolutely essential release

eigenlob stinkt, also schnell die wäscheklammer auf die nase. wir haben immer schon gewusst, dass matias aguayo ein jahrhunderttalent ist. seit seinen ersten gehversuchen mit michael mayer als zimt oder später mit dirk leyers als closer musik und mit marcus rossknecht als broke und vor allem auch solo weiss matias immer wieder zu Überraschen. seine dj-/live-sets gelten von buenos aires Über paris bis köln als legendär und: visionär! nach seinem tongue-in-cheek sommerhit minimal lag matias jedoch nicht auf der faulen haut, sondern hat mal eben en passant eine der inspiriertesten techno eps der jüngeren geschichte aus dem hut gezaubert. der titeltrack walter neff ist ein gnadenloser poptechno-ohrwurm und dancefloor-destroyer zugleich. der teufel muss ihm diese bassline verraten haben! one for the ladies... bei rebolledo style schraubt matias das drecklevel kräftig hoch und serviert einen hochenergetischen chicago-meets-baile-funk-meets-pianohouse-slammer. dann rundet matias die platte mit einem weiteren ausnahmetrack ab, carter msp. die bassline ist schlichtweg krank, dabei aber unglaublich sexy und uplifting. ernsthaft, alle drei tracks sind derart brilliant, dass man sich fragt, warum fast alle anderen platten im vergleich mit der walter neff ep so Öde sind? so, jetzt könnt ihr die wäscheklammer wieder abnehmen.

supported by richie hawtin, dubfire, format b, hosh, someone else, steve lawler, dj friction and many more.. aus dem umfeld von fortschritt 3000 gibt es wieder ein neues künstlergespann. mark vogler und molle aka mollono.bass von kombinat100 haben zusammen nächte lang im studio gesessen und an neuen tracks geschraubt. dabei entstanden, ist ihr neues live projekt rundfunk3000 was sie nun auf ihrem hauseigenem label acker records mit der >zirtow ep< präsentieren wollen. session ist das wort das sie lieben und so klingt auch ihr neues werk, eine mischung aus house, jazz, techno und allem was spaß macht. zum einsatz kommen instrumente wie hammond-orgel, percussion und saxophone synthies. die a site mit >loop durch raum und zeit< erinnert an vergangene tage und klingt doch sehr aktuell, ich sag nur jazz in the house .... die nummer macht spass, geht nach vorn und wird bestimmt ein highlight auf dem einen oder anderen dance floor in unserem universum. die b site mit dem track >mein bodo< spielt eher irgendwo im tiefsten asien, lässt einen schmunzeln und ist irgendwie funky.

supported by: tom stephan, jerome sydenham, noir, atle, djuma soundsystem, patrick bateman.. we wanted to try something new. to let an outside artist provide the main track. the choice was pretty easy – it could only be danish sensation jack rock. he has been killing the big stages all over northern europe with his technically demanding live-sets. a university background in sound theory and interactive sound design means that his productions of post-minimal techno are brimming with interlacing tones and harmonic elements.

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20
