disco cakes are back for their second release. after the success of the first release they have invited the dancefloor outlaws back and this time have bought some friends with them for another solid packed ep of 4 dancefloor shaking bangers.

records like this dont come very often. thankfully it seems there are still people out there who care enough to create beautiful projects and timeless music. after the ingenious june white label came out last summer, these days records office fell in love with it and without wasting any time rushed to contact the mysterious artist and propose an album. although well-hidden in a secret back-alley of west london where june lives and dreams music, his unique approach on acid house, synth wave, chicago house and 80s nostalgia was too good to be left unnoticed and has been favored by people such as panorama bars steffi, mathematicss owner hieroglyphic being, terre thaemlitz and the clone record store to name but a few. almost half a year after his >alleviation< ep, junes debut album >cytheria< has been realized and features a 12inch sampler with two brand new tracks and two remixes by critically acclaimed dj sprinkles on one of junes older tracks >lost area<. terre thaemlitz aka dj sprinkles, who has been well renowned for his contributions in music and arts in general for the past two decades, delivers an epic remix that takes one to a forgotten musical territory somewhere between early warp records, hacienda, 80s new york club sound and older balearic music. the albums cd version includes 10 new songs and 4 from the artists back catalogue and retains a great balance between dance floor orientated tracks and synth-pop.

sampler 12 inch of tom tragos upcoming album >iris<! leading up to tom tragos debut album >iris<, to be released april 2011, comes this three track sampler. the tracks featured here show the diverse nature of the album, which can be best described as a futuristic soul album. after releasing his double ep >voyage direct<, early 2009, tom has spent the last two years finding his signature sound. the outcome of this search has resulted in >iris<. where >voyage direct< was his homage to disco, >iris< deals with all of toms musical inspirations. shaping these inspirations into a new sound and creating an exciting mix is where tom really succeeds. the three tracks on the sampler all deal with merging the old with the new. >being with you< is a match made in heaven between electronic music and r&b, >space balloon< lets disco and funk make love in a spaceship. what you do is a future version of late 80s chicago hip house, which features tyree cooper (who, together with fast eddie, invented the genre).

malachais deb³talbum >the ugly side of love< war das au?ergew÷hnlichste und beste album, das aus der exzessiv kreativen szene bristols in 2009 hervorgegangen ist. dass das neue album >return to the ugly side< nun wie sein vorgõnger genau 14 prõgnante songs in prõzisen 35 minuten umfasst, sei dem puren zufall geschuldet, erzõhlt gee, der charismatische frontmann mit der schleppenden sandpapierstimme. dar³ber hinaus gibt es aber durchaus unterschiede. nat³rlich. >return to the ugly side< ist viel stõrker als das erste album von den hip hop-wurzeln der beiden bandmitglieder geprõgt. >der sound ist sehr viel runder geworden ohne dabei zu hi fi zu sein<, so scott. malachai, in ihrer leidenschaftlichen dualitõt - scott/gee, melodie/beats, vergangenheit/gegenwart, furcht/hoffnung, hõ?lich/sch÷n - sind ein neuer klassiker s³denglands geworden.

with the huge anthem >run to you< featuring the male vocal talents of s.o.u.l, the quirky and unique electro influenced >fashion< and the euphoric love fest >skream<, this ep has been on heavy rotation in the clubs and has proved to be a firm favourite on both the dancefloor and radio 1!

its an album, its deep, its acid, its fragile, its party, its lonely, its all together, its music itself, its special, its rvds with his >moments<. after the ep >waiting, kiss and love< comes the album now. inspired by classic deep and acid house. good to listen to these old instruments: tr-808, roland jp-6, wurlitzer e-piano and some other specials combined with new accents, but always a love to detroit music.

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

in all of his years of being a certified veteran in the world of techno - from his beginning days in napoli in the early 90s to his celebrated status around the world today - marco carola never once lost grip on his main priority: letting the music speak for itself. throughout his leagues of vital releases and endless stream of dj dates, his focus always steered clear of sensationalized press angles, or ranking up the charts, he chose to instead keep his head down and his passions high. carola retains a rare sense of integrity, despite being an artist whoi&#769,,,,,,,s consistently changed the face of techno. he shrugs it off modestly, claiming only to always try to do something new.

after a blazing 2010 dumb unit begins the new year with its full flame burning. do your math, created and calculated by dumb unit mad man cesare vs disorder is a return to force for both the label and the artist. written as a schizophrenic ode to his two monikers: queen atom and cesare vs disorder. do you math exemplifies everything that we have come to love from dumb unit and its artists. solid forward moving bass lines, tight syncopated percussion and a general darkness that gives everything its characteristic du shine !

recorded in the winter/spring of 2009, first released in june 2009. at the time i called it my failed kompakt techno experiment, i started out with that minimal beat in mind but ended with something different. the title was the first thing i started with after watching some miss helen mirror on tv at the period, still love the title really. songs became longer and i discovered the delay while recording. this second record was the first one were i started settling on an sound of my own. some weeks after recording the screaming girls on the last track during their sunday afternoon youth group activity a baby fetus was found on their field with the mother being one of the girls

so what is the sound of progressive disco? well it captures the insane rhythm and the unforgiving driving beat that is instantly found in the funk of the early seventies but real disco music also had a formula that would guarantee the hottest djs success if played at the right time. that formula was a blend of up-tempo rhythm sections laden with south american percussion mixed with soulful vocals and orchestral strings - a symphony of sex, lust and love. we change the formula and focus on the rock, electronic and dub elements - slower, sleazy and fun.

for the second and far overdue release on his little leaf imprint matt moroder delivers a superlative psychedelic reimagination of shuggie otis which sits far beyond the realm of your blog standard ableton edit. matt scliced the original into little pieces put it new together and added some drums and percussion with the respect this soul classic deserves. this rework is hypnotizing makes you wish to never end. on the flip hamburgs hardest working entertainer erobique used the same kind of gentleness to rework some cello and voice by one of the greates disco visionaries and songwriters that left us much to early. by creating a dirty mpc beat and blend it with vocals and cello erobique creates his own vision of the late arthur russell far from the average four too the floor mediocrity. this vinyl only release is strictly limited to 300 copies and shines even more with a splendid artwork that shows love and care

new tim deluxe single is a huge double header > see lye / l&h aka love & happiness< massive piano house at it best

from chicago with love, fresh asp edits !

a1: 2gether - smooth track, perfect for those disco/house sets. chuggs along gently with a tremendous groove, love the vocal and the percussive elements. the loose key riff really adds the finishing touch to this brilliant track!
b1: untitled in a ghetto - the groove is deep in the percussion, a simple bass line and quirky synth hook. when the vocal drops it is the epitome of a cool, down beat track. awesome!

>do you see me< is a delicious pop/folk/jazzy tune we instantly fell in love with after the first listen. now we must share it with the world.

7 inch featuring 3 tracks by the bewitched hands, taken from the album >birds and drums<.

new label that was was recommended to us by hotflush label owner paul rose who knew recondite from a local berlin hangout. we immediatly liked it because this is clearly done for the love of the music. pressed in a ultra limited 200 copies run (of which a first batch have been given away already to friends of the label owner) we managed to get the remaining copies for you. four tracks of deep techno that is a collection of snapshots of recondites daily live. somehow melancholic, adventurous and lush tracks that also can be found in the productions of labels such as dial. dont sleep on this one!!

as nang completes its first two years on the planet things are going pretty well. we are certainly not getting rich in financial terms but the love of the music and plaudits are warming our souls to the core. along the way we have also managed to work with some amazing artists and introduce some mighty-fine new ones to the world so it is with great pleasure that we bring you the 2nd installment of our >array< series. it is a stock-take of the best nang tunes from the past year, some previews on future hits and some tracks we just had to release!

it might seem counterintuitive for a producer to detach themselves from one of the planets most thriving music scenes, but in the case of matthew walker, aka julio bashmore, thats exactly what he did growing up in bass music hotbed, bristol. you see, julios first love is house music. and operating just on the peripheries of the citys scene has allowed him to quietly cultivate a take on the genre unlike any other.
following white hot releases for dirtybird, ten thousand yen and soul motive this is bashmores first new material of 2011

small backstock on this jazzy deephouse beauty by adny aka alexi deloano, released 1999 on californian earthtones imprint.

fresh beats delivered directly from the caribbean by venezuelan producer trujillo on his latest appearance on the spanish-venezuelan label apersonal music. trujillos ability to make you feel caught up in an eternal summer vibe gets clearer and stronger with every track he releases. on this release main single >fruit punch< is simplicity at its best, squeezing the most out of basic classic-house elements. it builds up slowly until the original guitar tunes in, thats when you take a sip of your fruit punch (or whatever sweet drink comes handy) and enjoy the sea breeze in your face (whether its there or not..). for the extra flavor on your drink they pour an edit-format track >looking up through you<. lots of original ingredients here enough to make this edit an own piece of music... venezuelan keyboard player mister casanova on board plus trujillo mixing it all up in his best poolside bar style. fresh juicy punched stuff here! on the remix department 2 remix versions from uk based producer toby tobias plus a classy fashioned remix from canadian eddie c. tobias is a hard working man, and when you ask him for one he hits you twice, hard to pick one remix although one had to be selected for digital only release (size matters some time!). what can we say about eddie c.. apersonal had already made a statement that they love classic grooves, and it cant get classier than eddies beats on his remix! this groove is what house music is all about, and it will always be.

long awaited album !! amazing double lp with a unique mixture from electronic and dubstep... well done
