a little piece of sampledelia from maxmillion dunbar (future times, food for animals) and ari g (manhunter). you know when you scoop a record at some flea because the art looks tight, but it turns out that the shit is wack except for some little beautiful chunk? yea you do. we rescued the good parts from many terrible records that otherwise just would ve collected bad vibes on our floors. dudes trying to bring back something like early daniel wang but mix it with heavy boogie visions (swimmers groove) and all these psuedo-african slow cuts from the 90s that we keep finding (o yea). lifeguards for the vibe.

limited vinyl edition of the black dog s new album on soma quality recordings. each of the 500 copies is hand numbered and screen printed by the artists. 3 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. the black dog are without a doubt one of the hardest working acts in electronic music. no sooner have they released one of 2008s best albums in >radio scarecrow< and the massive 12 inch >detroit vs. sheffield< which featured two remixes from detroit minimal grandmaster robert hood, they now prepare for their next album release. >further vexations< is a real successor to >radio scarecrow<. the thinking behind the predecessor is still very evident with even more bite, but theres something about the new album that lends itself to the dark club atmosphere. perhaps the recent bout of constant gigging has had its effect on the act because this one is going to be tearing up floors around the world on its release. >further vexations< might have taken half the time to create but still manages to maintain the same degree of meticulous detail and attention as its predecessor, and is a complete package of tracks demanding to be listened to from start to finish. >further vexations< looks to rouse the sort of political attitudes that have been sorely missing from electronic music since raves backlash against the criminal justice act in the 90s.

this is techno in the spirit of the original detroit and european pioneers: machine funk that looks as much to parliament and james brown for inspiration as to richie hawtin, and which treats each track as a fresh experiment in dancefloor dynamics, not as reworking of an existing formula.

fame and zouk imprint owner mischa daniels has chosen his direction. the only way is up! with the success of his another place still fresh in memory, hes now hitting back hard with all that mattered. the original vocal sample comes from a memorable classics: de nuit- all that mattered, which had its first released in 2001. more than 8 years later, with the steady beat, the shivering vocals and a hypnotizing synth on top, this mischa daniels remake is about to break down the house and tear down the clubs. all that mattered wont easily be forgotten. dj support: steve angello & ingrosso: on it! supporting this new track of mischa! tom novy: looks really good to me! john dahlback: support!

rezkars fascination with music began with his parents record collection. listening to local radio stations as a child, he heard 80s tracks. as an adult he discovered the magic of 60s and 70s jazz and funk. one day, his cousin played a track that he immediately fell in love with. he later learned that this was house music. he discovered the fruity loops sequencer software and thought, why not try to make my own tracks, after all, it cant really be that hard? deep house can sound deceptively simple. its a bit like japanese anime, rezkar says. it looks so cute and easy to draw, but try to actually draw it, and you will discover its even harder than realistic drawings. the thing about house is that if you try too hard it can come across as being very cheesy, but then again, if you dont do enough it can sound incomplete. finding the balance is not easy, rezkar admits. after hearing his music, one finds that he is learning this lesson quite well.

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!

continuing the spectacle that is the poker flat tournament series, we present two more surefire lessons in dancefloor mechanics. after his last storming >zeitgeist e.p< for poker flat, londons very own dark knight raudive aka oliver ho has crafted a powerfully hypnotic club tool that truly exists within its own world of unique and unmistakable sound. carefully executed beats roll forward as an astounding landscape of colourful vocal suggestions and emotions swirl and evolve. its a heady, uncompromising track that certainly stands out as its own, but could complement many different dj situations, from driving peak time sets, to free-flowing after-hours sessions… heading up the opposition for looks set to be a fine tournament indeed, minimise head-honcho and continual key-player donnacha costello brings things down and dirty with his unforgiving and foreboding >i must be going<. a catchy proto-acidic bass line snakes a winding path through a dense atmosphere of late-night paranoia. perfectly crafted beats push the energy along with a casual swagger, whilst the pleasingly tripped out vocal undertones leave the imagination to run wild

music was my first love... and it could be my last! pretty much looks like whats to be said judging by the increasing productivity of famous parisian the 5 beats sessions host over the last years, with the launch of real tone records new sublabel fr prod where is to be found this firing 2 tracker. definitely for the house headz in search of straight in yer face sensations, both the components of this ep are the perfect illustrations of an ongoing movement fusing the countless elements which have made the contemporary groove what it is since the arrival of the electronic kraut and disco in the mid 70s.

yore returns with a true dream team split ep, pairing yore label head andy vaz with sistrum manager patrice scott. vaz is up first with a beautiful slice of old-school funk and soul within a deep house formula, >back to square one< that has a whole lot more in common with isaac hayes and james brown than with juan atkins or any other techno icon. accompanied by a wah-wah guitar figure and claps, a bullet-proof bass line leads a nine-minute charge thats quickly bolstered by a slinkily swinging drum groove. creamy synth chords and blazing horns intermittently spill over the pulsating mix and then vanish, leaving space for the rhythm to intensify and the track to grow ever more euphoric (and even, towards its close, a bit acidy). a true mission into both funk and house, which again showcases vazs ultimate diversity as an outstanding producer. scott titled his second sistrum release beyond deep and the title might just as easily apply to the b-side >aztecal< where the detroit producer slathers shimmering stabs and congealing streams over a thudding kick drum and flickering percussive detail. while vazs cut draws inspiration from the timeless traditions of decades past, scotts looks towards the future when its gleaming shuttle lifts off in pursuit of distant galaxies.

swedens speedmarket avenue are a a pop music collective led by a little guy who looks like a cross between charles manson and marc bolan. their new album is, without a doubt, one of the musical highlights in 2008 for all pop lovers! their debut album im going to let my new swiss army knife answer to that, was packed ful of jangle pop reminiscent of label 53rd and 3rd. the band have played various european festivals and collaborated with camera obscura on their lets get out of this country album thanks to the mutual connection of producer, jari haapalainen. under his direction, they ve now recorded their second album, way better now. an absolute beauty from beginning to end replete with precious pop melodies in a non conventional way, imaginative arrangements and an omnipresent trumpet. limited to 600 copies on vinyl.
