westpark unit (aka herb lf & ingo saenger) are back with their annual release on farside records after some work for labels like dessous, tjumy, future classic or fear of flying. this time, they provide 4 brandnew trax for the vinyl edition. more forever might be familiar to a few people that followed the music of westpark unit over the years. the tune is a special rework of their first ever limited 12inch release forever back in 2002 on draft recordings. more forever took some of the original deep harmonies, keeps parts of the piano loop and the beautiful sampled hook and should be a soulful bomb on the 2009 floors. even deeper 45 grows and grows with a very intensely chord, takes you on a trip with its driving bassline and is the other dubby deep house tune here. the first demo version received some nice feedback / chartings / plays from djs like dplay, matt flores or shur i kan. while speaking of house (not house), jam hot and familiar sequence are musically caught somewhere in between the styles. jam hot might be more funk than house with sexy 104 bpm, is bouncing like hell and keeps the crowd shaking and moving. familiar sequence appeals to the disco fanatics out there, has a little of a balearic vibe and is also keeping things slow. both tunes are the perfect startup into the night. we think this is the right tempo for party anyway.

aka manuel tur & langenberg (millions of moments / ovum) welcome and hello to the first release on mild pitch, the newly launched label from essen, germany. founded by manuel tur, dplay and langenberg you can expect tons of groundbreaking and earthshaking house music on this label in the future. the first release is called >this feeling<. produced by essens finest, ribn, this tune is what house music should be all about. ribn is a project of manuel tur and langenberg that sort of happened by accident. after some productive jam-sessions in their studio they discovered that both shared a passion for deep and dubby techno tracks and all of a sudden they had their first releases on styrax leaves, millions of moments and ovum. a stunning new ep on mule electronic will be released very soon. >this feeling< is a deep, chord-driven track in the tradition of global communications infamous >the way<, that with its enormous vocal loop and warm harmonies grows constantly to a catchy tune. with no doubts this track is a real peaktime smasher, which became obvious when being played for the first time at mild pitchs legendary >slow club< parties in essen. the flipside includes the brilliant >rapidsnare mix< of this feeling

just in case someone might have forgotten: stil vor talent is based in berlin. and this ep by sascha braemer, one part of heinrich & hirtenfellner, proves just that. braemer, whos just been at the top of everybodys dj charts with his funk-laden minimal soul piece >mamba drums< on kindisch records, has donated three tracks to oliver koletzkis imprint that mirror what this city is best know for: funky minimal grooves. first up there is >ghost track< a typical dry minimal loop with a rhythmically in touch vocal sample that is then juxtaposed by a simply astonishing piece of melody. goose bumps and groove humps on the floor - guaranteed! on the flip: >girl<. here braemer has created a dubby piece of tech house that floats towards a soulful vocal and some beautiful strings. this is one for the early morning, or in berlin, the late afternoon, those times when everything seems in perfect harmony with each other. last up is >guitar man<, yet another very sample-based stripped down loop with one riff of an echoed guitar being the protagonist. when that riff is fully played out, we all know its summer. but it wouldnt be berlin if there werent some dark wobbly basslines seemingly destroying this but in fact creating the perfect combination of soft and hard, of light and dark. on top of this the vocal sample >i wont leave< perfectly encapsulates the vibe of the praised berlin afterhour. stil vor talent is back at home with this ep.

its been a while since the last rsb release, but then tracks like this dont come along every day! for their first vinyl appearance on a label other than their own, enigmatic german duo ancient methods do the honourable thing and break out the whip, a track that comes across like a 2-step party in the foundry of thor himself. lets lazily label it anvil techno, because as far as we are aware no has yet invented a genre that adequately desribes music such as this. and as we have come to expect, much the same can be said of the evil sickness that is eat like hawks by bjorn svin (with a little help from karsten pflum, jona olesen & copyflex!). it starts like it means to go on, with a gnarled loop and indecipherable distorted vocals, and is gradually tweaked and augmented to the point of destruction. all manner of ill bass, overdriven filters, zaps, clanky drums & feedback join the party before the whole affair is brought to an abrupt end by the strange foreign lady that we have come to know and love over the course of the track. truly music for small, sweaty, strobe-driven cellars.

amyl nitrate (commonly known as popper) is a chemical compound. it has a long history of safe medical use in treating angina. its also often inhaled with the goal of enhancing sexual pleasure.inhaling nitrates relaxes smooth muscles all over the body, including the sphincter muscles of the anus and the vagina. listening to the original version, it is easy to understand the reason behind such a title. a dark and obsessive techno-bass in its depths. acid, nervous loops on the surface. sex and sweat everywhere. here and there, two surrealistic, hypnotic melodies breaking the darkness of the bass loop. a mix of sharp and round, deeper sounds. the vinyl version also features 3 great remixes: the amazing electro-minimal rmx by the hacker, the spiritual-dark rmx by rubÚn montesco and the fresh club rmx by produkkt

rene amesz is back with a bang with this excellent single on rising music. rene is at his best on this sleazy, low down dirty slab of tech house. his characteristic beats slide along underneath a filthy bassline and mesmerizing vocal loop. plenty of soaring synths keep this track building and building the whole way through. an essential track for every main room from london to sydney.

a brilliant pumping and body-shaking excursion >brain wash< on the a side. this muscled track drops dirty and tense beats over a persuasive fat bassline and acid-infused loops to liberate magic drops and increase the synths climax. a pearl for the big rooms! >hope this feeling< on the other side starts things with melodic and dreamy keyboard workout without forgetting groovy basslines until the vocals blends into dark synth loop and drives the whole track to hypnotic sensations.

sam ball returns with the tenth release on his ever-successful i-fi music with 2 slices of tech house and techno to suit the heads. with consistent support from carl cox, laurent garnier, joris voorn, john digweed, nic fanciulli and paul woolford, sam has proved consistency and an ear to make the dance floor quake. this next instalment compliments the floor with kamikaze aimed directly for the big rooms and floors, a definitive peak record with a building loop reaching a devastating crescendo. the flipside mad dash is a much more tech house affair which grooves from start to finish and is a definite outdoor summer record. both are destined to move all floors nodding heavily at the underground, and as sam has proved as an accomplished producer and dj that there is defiantly groove left in the music.

its been 5 yrs since the last record was released on tetrode music. (the deep theory ep). the wait is over and the duo of damon lamar and specter have returned. this ep is picking up right where they have left off. deeply rooted in the underwater sound that have made the releases on tetrode must haves by heads around the world. side a is produced by specter and he drops his signature beatdown sound. >bazerko< is a stripped down minimal heater that builds up with 707 drums, sub bass and a hammond organ riff that really bring this track together. >nighthawk< is a beautiful laid out sunrise track. smooth drums, warm pads, and bubbly appregiated synths. inspiration drawn from larry heard and the deep techno sound of the 90Æs. side b is produced by damon lamar. >large crowd< is this beating track pulled and resurrected from the vault. heavy percussion loop, dirty bass, deep chords and a haunting vocal that must be heard to understand the meaning. >put it on ice< is a laid back downtempo track that shows the versatility of damon lamar. lush strings, dubby bass and melodic keys make it a track that just grooves and soothes the ear. tetrode music has returned with this solid offering and one thing for sure is the sound hasnÆt changed ... just more refined.

limited repress! now as triple vinyl: the eagerly anticipated debut album from the award winning pendulum - fasten your seatbelt, this is hot!

a-list partner for the a-side >trust<, berlin-relocated seth troxler from detroit, has been delivering countless bangers for crosstown rebels, spectral or wolf + lamb and forged quite a reputation for himself. seth brings freshness and freedom in his work as well as in his relationships with the girls! his edgy voice takes off on some sick rumbling percussions, and pairs up all along the track with mind twisting waves and swirling vibes to impulse a dizzying, thus delighting booty-shaking dance. loyal to the house tenets but frivolous with innovations this is straight out of the top drawer, trust us!no less rewarding, the tiefschwarz brothers hit the >roads< on the b-side. the opening steady beat is gradually driven by hypnotic keynotes to a darker path. break! the drums take the lead again, but still infected by the loop, the track goes on, and compels to an irresistible euphoria. far out! tiefschwarz step up once again with a must-have record, be ready for the next things to come!

vertex is an exploration in two parts. the a sideÆs vertex and the locus of points explore the trackier side of tejadaÆs work meant mostly for vinyl play. both tracks make good use of strong wavetable chorded sounds, which are modulated throughout. the rhythms of the chords make up the identity of the track with elements coming in and out. vertex showcases a more layered approach to take the track from a percussive to a smooth feel. the locus of points follows more of a straight up techno approach sounding simple and effective. the b-side explores the more melodic and arrangement based side of tejadaÆs work. liquid mirror is a track rich in layers. 3 modular synth layers provide the initial modulating melodic ground work which is then complimented by lush tejada keyboard work bringing the song to itÆs apex and then reducing it back to itÆs start all while backed by tejadaÆs powerful drum work. p.l.l. (which stands for phase locked loop, a process explored here) continues this theme in a less obvious way. modular synths and drum tracks start things off while midway a modulating melodic phrase is introduced playing back a bit differently every time. four songs in all showcasing tejadaÆs simple and complex approach to dance music.

originally released on analytic trail at the end of 2007, c est la vie (and b-side oasi) marked the debut for joseph capriati. since this time capriati has gone on to become one of the hottest names in techno with releases on the scenes labels including drumcode, clr and sci and tec.
to celebrate the success of this favourite son of naples, analytic trail are releasing a staggering set of remixes of two tracks from joseph s debut release on the label from the best names in techno: umek, ramon tapia, xpansul, ortin cam, hauswerks, gaz james and abnormal boyz
the mighty umek gets first crack at c est la vie, turning in a typically straight to the point remake, dropping the distinctive percussive hook over a jackhammer groove. ortin cam (drumcode) adopts a more minimal approach with firing snare rolls and a distorted, buzzing cutup loop of the original hook. rounding out the first part of this package is xpansul (ovum, soma) with a dramatic, stringladen take that bounces along on a tough but funky bassline.

the first of the rising music summer series 2009 comes from chris lake & lys. lake & lys >violins< is a dark and uplifting slice of house. a hypnotic violin loop over throbbing bass and snappy tech rhythms. new kids on the block sour grapes provide two astonishing remixes to complete the package.

in these >post-heater< days it is not so crazy to hear of a kazoo being used in a track, but when style of eye first released >the big kazoo< on dirtybird it wasnt just a sample loop, it was an incredibly innovative usage of the sound - mangled in all the right ways. in 2009 style of eye returns with 3 more monster club tracks. these are the kind of jams that simply work at the club. they arent hard to mix and they arent hard to understand. they are big dirtybird tracks that simply never fail the dancefloor

following the success of his last lp, chronicles of never, and his recent track jedwab on nick curlys 8bit imprint, marcin czubala makes his return to mobilee with mezcalinna. continuing his string of exceptional releases bearing his unmistakable signature marksùslinky, undulating grooves full of bizarre twists and turns that ceaselessly continue to surprise the listenerùmezcalinna is comprised of two tracks whose continuities only serve to highlight the ways in which they differentiate themselves from and act as complements to one another. day 1 begins with a heavy bass line echoed by a stuttering percussive beat that guides the rhythm until the vocal chants and kick drum drop. accented by occasional drum fills and cymbal crashes, the track reaches its climax with the entrance of a lone piano chord that, despite its initially alienating presence, ultimately serves as a means of melding and unifying the tracks constituent components. if day 1 is an early morning track, day 2 provides its counterpart as a nighttime dance floor stormer with a darker sound and haunting, reverb-laced vocals. also beginning with a splattering of percussion but taking a decidedly somber turn with dissonant synthesizer stabs and an eerie vocal loop that shadows the track from beginning to end, rhythm and creative use of contorted vocals lead the way as this track zigzags in a way that only marcin czubala can make music do

sebastian doring and thorsten freese, more commonly known as quality house duo knee deep, drop the third part of their >love ep< trilogy (following on from >big love< and >french love<) with a masterfully constructed 3 part ep of quality productions entitled >sick love ep<. as always, there is a fantastic diversity on offer throughout the package while always maintaining a high standard and playability factor. from the detroit-influenced >gypsy bucket< complete with its modulating synth chords, cracking percussion section and a seriously infectious male vocal loop, through to the quirky, funky grooves of >the it< and the anthemic piano stabs that form the core of the big room affair entitled >what to do<, the >sick love ep< is another fine addition to the knee deep imprints catalogue and a definite must-have for fans of diverse, contemporary and quality house music!!!

after a break from solo production for his own blueprint label, during which he released a well-received album ( the dash ) on the mighty tresor, and a brace of singles as o/v/r (with regis), james ruskin returns to home-ground with a cracking two-tracker. sabre is a classic ruskin production, booming bottom-end and a mind-mangling filtered fx loop swirling around over the top. deceptively simple production that is definitely greater than the sum of its parts, as all good techno should be. on the flipside, massk follows a similar template, with only 5 or 6 parts throughout the whole track, but the subtle changes in arrangement lure the listener in to the deep and dark world of mr ruskin...

a highly percussive, pounding and gnarly yet deep and hugely atmospheric house grind from lisbons finest. a weirdly syncopated vocal loop arrives halfway through and turns this into some kind of warped exercise in dyslexic hip-house. extremely big for the big rooms, and still very large indeed for the smaller ones

1999 release by frank hunter for inigo kennedys instillation label. pure energetic loop-tools.

the third single cut from the debut album of dj sprinkles aka terre thaemlitz. a1 is a one of most emotional song from the album. its a very fag jazz style of terre. a2 is a very warm ambient house with classical piano loop. the ambient version of this song will be released on mule electronic ambient compilation >enjoy the silence< (mule electronic cd15) in april. b side are 2 version of motor city drum ensemble remix. it fits perfectly with original dj sprinkles sound. what is house music? this is house music!

this is an absolute balearic beauty. mendes & alþada, from portugal, release their first 12inch and it doesnt dissapoint. a head nodding 80bpm chugger with a beautiful guitar loop sat on a gritty analog line makes you want to put your hands up and wave them from side to side. label favourites, the idjut boys get pete z in and add percussion and more girth to make it another classic remix. absolutely essential.

after dj kaos first astro lab release asteroiden melodien, the man is back with this amazing 3 tracks ep, from some rock classic cut edit to uptempo jackin house chicago music! 3 tracks in 3 different atmospheres. already supported by the rub n tug, isaac ferry, joakim, harvey, lcd soundsystem and more! dont sleep future classic and limited copies! the record is coming with handmade artwork by astro lab mvdr!

los angeles is a hot bed of underground techno and killer all night parties. at the center of all of this is the duo of acid circus (droid behavior), who control much of the movements sonically and at the events.the brothers >v< inspire this tora release with heavy influence from venetian snares (ie. see title).the main cut throbs with a hypnotic vocal chant and incredible bass. both a dj tool and dance magnet. >dark wave< continues this approach this time with chilling reverb attacks and more bass. label head dietrich schoenemann strips it back to almost a constant loop and still manages to sneak more bass in.

release #18 for satamile records was made in 2004 by the blotnik brothers. pushing electro-grooves, claustrophobic voices and top-notch production guarantee for another quality release.

after recently releasing astonishing records on vakant & kalk pets, dewalta is hitting now even more dynamic and powerful the springtime floors. back on his motherlabel with great & unusual music and we dare to say that it is our favorite release of him so farà >saluki< starts straight with a crafty bass driven smooth rocket and build its self up alongside a guiding piano loop to reach very atmospheric frictions. soft choir singing here and there, various dub sounds brushing in the space, bringing all sound aficionados into a beautiful ride. dewaltas crispy rhythms are eventually fading out into melancholic and moving detroitish strings, to complete this unique piece of music. >shagya< on the flipside is a self-developing carnevalesque odyssey. its such a profound & delicious kickdrum, tightened with an extraordinary bass presence, its simply irresistible not to groove happily on that one. all is enriched with polyphonic balafon rhythms and hilarious african rooted chants - this is the energetic tool for those special intimate moments. a perfect track when lust and familiarity is present within the crowd and we consider time as officially end.

after a recent guest performance on seuil’s eklo label, michael melchner - the young producer and dj from nuremberg - is back with another stunning ep for cargo edition. melchner is the resident-dj of the ‘kiss klub“ party series at nuremberg’s famous club ‘die rakete’, and music aficionados will have had their eye on this up-and-coming artist for a while now. this time around michael melchner dishes up three top-notch house tracks for us. “you understand“ is techhouse at its best, where he deftly holds and rides that balance between deepness and the dancefloor. a continously forward-pushing bassline is combined with a mysterious vocal sample and restrained breaks. „wooob“ grabs you with its devastatingly simple rhythm, while the bassline cuts through with a high dose of funk. topping the track off we have a vocal loop that shows off michael’s affection to the musical beginnings of house. this ties in nicely with the ep closer »just a skip« which reminisces over the sound of chicago. profound melodies, skillfully arranged vocal samples and a whole heap of soul suggest that michael melchner may just have produced a modern house classic. so again, just like on his first ep for cargo edition in may last year, michael melchner has managed to paint a musical portrait combining the present and the past into one classic moment.

the second 12inch sampler from the forthcoming universal vibes compilation. it features a new remix of ok ma by label head paddy freeform under his soulsonix production guise, alongside a brand new and exclusive track from new signing andy ash, aswell as a track from the vaults for an outing on vinyl.beatsmith andy ash delivers a midtempo 4/4 deep track on astro travellin. shimmering 4 to the floor beats rub alongside sublime warm keys with a hint of disco and house. following this is a slice of bumping grinding beats in the shape of the soulsonix remix of ok_mas dancefoor destroying jump up house bomb, boogle. paddy freeform takes a simple loop from the original and adds an energetic synth line alongside to push the track along. finally we re visit one of the early releases and press jafar and bobby strobes keeps coming to vinyl. an incessant vocal chant urges on the groove which builds throughout the track til the 303 bass lifts it up and twists it into oblivion. super limited edition, 300 only!

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

2009 cover version of the 1985 art of noise classic! c.m.i. are dj thomas kutger aka de-tox and ragi swelim aka dr. loop from frankfurt/ germany.

pryda friends has been dormant for quite some time whilst its owner - eric prydz has been concentrating on his own work. this relaunch hits hard with a carefully selcted track that eric has been caning for quite some time - sebastian leger - the people. the original track has been huge on the club scene for quite some time with its marilyn manson vocal refrain and guitar licks being used to enormous effect. as if that wasnt enough eric prydz has done his own remix on the flipside which surprise, surprise - is an absolute stormer with its vocoding of the main vocal loop and building driving feel. this is yet another winner from the prydz stable.

pelle buys (error error) and a different jimi (egoexpress) show up with a rollicking, rattling drum loop, suggesting marching bands at carnaval and a horn that goes directly to your brain. intense stuff with a more minimal remix by david k

the sidewinder create a krackling and hissing world of technological industrialism on this 1996 mille plateaux double vinyl.

phat driven technotracks with sweet background melody (mix1) or brutal gamesounds (mix 4) or harder techno tracks --> also incl some loop for your dj player heart

with a prime palindrome inigo kennedy, as always, provides an array of distinctive and original tracks that continue to stand out from the crowd.avoiding titles the music does the talking. bounded by an intro and outro here are four tracks that push the envelope further than most.kicking off with a brutal and driving digital assault a1 has been tearing up sound systems in many ways reminiscent of the seminal asy001.a2 builds on the intricate and mature edge of the asymmetric sound. a strong and evolving melody draws you in over a slow moving atmosphere. underpinned by a classic kennedy rhythm and characteristic of the unique way he layers sounds together.driven by a warmly distorted rolling rhythm b1 turns up the heat once again whilst over the top floats a trademark futuristic atmosphere.b2 dives straight back into the world of digital manipulation. an elastic loop is treated. its pitch slowly grows. the effect is almost imperceptible. the result is hypnotic.

more punk than funk returns with a unique release featuring tracks to please every techno palate

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!

another strong italian dancefloor weapon!!

played by: nick curly, onur Özer, loco dice, ricardo, karotte, luciano, reboot, chris tietjen, markus fix, robert dietz, raresh and pete tong... were proudly present our new exclusive artists from romania livio, roby and george g. what you get are three parts of fresh and innovating house music. every record shows the variety of modern loop house music. every track gives his own spirit and vibe to the dancefloor. we are looking forward to a great year with these young talent artists. hope you enjoy!

re-release! famous german dj and producer - who is responsible for mass hysteria wherever he plays - with a cheeky cut-up edit of a track by the most hyped new hip-hop artist driven by a hypnotic accoustic guitar loop, freeked with p-funkish vocoder vocals and backed by a dry bassdrum. on the b-sides he flips a vocal by a eccentric lo-fi soul artist - who sang the hook of the biggest hit by the world’s best hip-hop band - and mashes it up with a nasty distroted bassline and straigt up electro beats. madness

ultraphat hypnotic minimal tech monster ...

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

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.

back with another of their much loved eps - the knee deep guys dig deep to satisfy your dancefloors yet again courtesy of the french love ep. kicking off with >all night< a charged up bullet with hooky vocal loop and infectious synthy lick, >vibin< is exactly that - a stabby low end bassline powers on alongside the sweet warming melody whilst the whole groove builds and builds leading to the chant-fuelled breakdown. rounding things off, >sweet love< has that epic crowd pleasing vibe you will have come to expect from the kd guys… again its simplicity at its best using a hooky riff throughout, and allowing the groove to shine. a power-packed ep in 3 different flavours
