tiago is one of those guys who are able to make a summer, a festival or a trip really special. he is doing the right thing at the right time and is always prepared. in his company every single minute turns into a remarkable happening and once you are back home you keep asking yourself why he cant be with me all the time. that s reason enough to dedicate him a special tune. the same lovely thought had solomun and emerson todd and deliver a dreamy and a groovy version of tiagos destiny. after last summers smash hit manaus madness gunnar stiller hits the jackpot again.

uk producer chris colburn has found fresh inspiration from a revived and maximised techno scene and is set to make a return via this 2 track ep for alan fitzpatricks 8 sided dice imprint.

morphosis has been cooking. friends, nwaq & just for one day got on the re-whisk. these productions live up to all expectations from two of the most awe inspiring out there. turn them up. big tip! when this idea came about, there was some speculation here if it was a going to be plausible prospect. throughout all the deliberation one fact remained: re-workings from these artists would make the perfect precursor 12” to a full morphosis album, and it just had to happen. then it did. nwaq turns in one hell of a dub! an almost relentless 7.5 minute float, that’s underpinned with thriftily placed percussion, and a true beast of a kick drum. no build-ups. no break-downs. so, now… let’s all bow towards to the master. just for one day’s rudeboy drum palette is going to be familiar to more than a few people. let’s just say that this is the new guise of a veteran german producer who’s uncompromising music has graced some of the world’s most exciting record labels over the past 15 years. for this remix he hijacks the ‘android’s among us’ and throws them right into a sound system shootout somehow leaving the core elements from the original track in tact. seriously killer. for fans of 2 step, jungle & dr who(?). please note: this will be a vinyl only affair.

here at bearfunk hq we firmly believe in perseverance. we keep asking questions until we get the right answer and with 6ft bear by our side the answer is usually yes. we kept asking ilija rudman to get in the studio and write us a killer lp but being the busy bee that he is it was hard for him to take the time out. we kept asking until he eventually caved in and went underground to record his first lp, >the reveal<. ilija is a devoted and passionate man when it comes to music. one of his prerequisites for recording an lp was that the recordings had to be made with the same techniques and equipment that inspired him to make music in the first place. so ilija hooked up with one of his studio mentors and got his dream line-up of synthesizers, roland jupiter 4 & 8, minimoog, roland sh2, juno 60 and his dream drum machines linn and oberheim dmx. these analogue machines fire up to create a warm and authentic vibe across the whole lp. we are reminded here that machines do have soul if used properly. we start proceedings with the wigged out boogie of >inspectors drive< which might be a little nod in the direction of wally badarous classic chief in< have all the ingredients of dj friendly hits. the lp reveals all the influences that ilija has experienced and it shows the talent that runs inside him as he is able to make such an amazingly retro lp sound like something from the future. we are sure in years to come this lp could become as important as the influences that inspired mr. rudman to make it.

thinking about prspct without counterstrike is like peanutbutter without jelly, johnny without cash & kiss without the make-up ... these prspct veterans are back again with a heavyweight 12 that will leave hanging to the edge of your seat.
for the first side we got counterstrike & zardonic going at it head 2 head with >when worlds collide<. this pa stomper is a brute piece of work. destructive rolling beats hammer your face in while the bassline peals your face off bit by bit. put your screwface on and start bashing to this one.
flip it over for a proper >mindfuck<. this is how we like to see counterstrike - heavy metal riffs combined with a snare that sounds like the garbage man is battering the dumpsters on trash day. like the tune says - lets get our mindfuck auwn!

after an amazing debut release simply called ep. 1, marcelus returns to deeply rooted house with a exciting twelve inch ep. 2! rawer stompin tracks that never fail to capture that essential funking groove that make the difference between a standard techno track and a track that stands out! somehow drifting between new school techno and old school early 90s acidic chicago house marcelus surely merged best of both worlds into 4 subtle and haunting techno tracks with an unstoppable groove.... just how we like it

off spin 007 includes a track by timo garcia, wellknown from legendary labels nervous and yoshitoshi. >inches< starts with a techy rhythm strengthened by an euphoric pad and a sleaaaazy vocal. nils weimann & clay porter let the summer start a bit earlier. >la guitarra< has a summery vibe but is driven by a techy-percussion-ish beat. this track will definitely make hips swing on the dancefloor. >this is my home< gives you a warm deephouse-feeling with an organic groove. a lovely track which brings a smile on your face and makes you feel home immediately. mario aureo & daniel solar know what they are doing. >what you do< has a lingering deephouse vocal with a steady groove. a perfect record to mix.

6th borough project make a welcome return to delusions of grandeur to deliver their debut lp entitled one night in the borough. as well as a cd the album is being released as 3 individual singles plus a limited edition triple coloured vinyl pack. here we have the first single in the series of 3 including four brand new full-length cuts from the album. find a way kicks things off and sees the guys deliver what we know as classic 6th borough material ie. precision cut, edity disco and soul but heavied up with a fat kick and an arrangement which screams out for peaktime plays. iznae hits next with a brilliant wobbling bassline that brings a warehouse feel to proceedings before the groove drops into an unexpected breakbeat section that harvey mason himself would be proud of. if its loopy downtempo house you re into then look no further than if the feelings right. layers of loops build and drop, filtering in and out whilst grooving steadily along at a sublime 88bpm. finally, changin goes on a classic deep house mission with soft stabs and synth riffs supplying the interest while a rolling beat propels things along in an understated yet powerful way.

no time to take a breather, no time for a contemplative chill session - the second edition of bpitch control s werkschau (showcase) cd is about to hit the shelves! in line with the overall bpitch showcase concept, the new release is in no way just another run-of-the-mill compilation of best-of tracks, but rather a selection of extraordinary and highly functional club gems that represent bpitch s harmonious concept as perfectly as they demonstrate its musical breadth. the most noticeable characteristics the three extended versions share are their vocal presence and the extremely distinctive way that the artists make use of language and voice. in contrast, the fact that the ep is perfectly arranged for the dance floor comes across as almost a matter of course, and every track exhibits this inherent feeling in equal parts - with it truly coming to life in cormacs >the present<, which opens the albums a-side.

both taken from the forthcoming duffstep album >getting to sirius<, >your touch< and >backseat< are original duffstep tracks given a cosmic make over by duff disco. they are proper modern disco music that sits just the right side of funky, without conjuring images of fluffy boots and spiky hair, white shirts and fake tan. whilst backseat is the more euphoric of the two your touch is more moody than an emo teenager watching twighlight. both obviously duff disco but somehow keeping the family together as duffsteps finger prints are all over these too.

robber and bandit grew up with electronic music since the early 90s ... when they heard tiefschwarz perform some years ago at 10 days off , they decided to join their forces and creative energy and started their own project robber and bandit, which is a mixture of techno and electro with trancy soundscapes. luckely robber had enough experience and technique in producing through his drum n bass project and started to make high quality productions in no time. for the moment they found their balance and new stunning productions are coming your way. later that year bandit started producing minimal techno on his own: lee barrier was born! lee barrier has created in a very short period great skills and producer techniques with a lot of support by robber alias axi and the man behind wasted for life : jamie.

art-nr2 is the third release in art records remaster series following on from carl craigs >psyche/bfc< and kirk degiorgios >nairobi ep<. promenade eleven lives up to the billing of those illustrious predecessors, being a reverse-engineered remake of >night on the promenade< which originally appeared in limited quantities on the new religion label in 2006 under the name >super-a-loof<.

promenade eleven (original mix) adheres faithfully to the original arrangement but has been re-recorded and totally remixed from the ground-up for a modern club sound.

it seems that dapayk used to listen to a lot of hip-hop when he was younger. his latest ep for still vor talent >let go< has got these influences written all over it. the title track starts out with a male vocal and some sounds that sound a little like scratching before things then quickly head into the direction of the club. the vocal by singer camara could not be more reminiscent of 80s house music and this track has got all the soul and groove of this era. beneath the delicate vocal and sound patterns lies a wonderfully simply staccato house groove that is sure to get everyone shuffling. on the flip things get a little more techy with >nneka<, a deeper and more melodic tech house glider that gently takes the listener towards a harmonic state of mind. beautifully arpeggiated pads, a warm soulful groove and some reverbed vocals make this one. last up is the sample-based tech-house stomper >upyo< featuring production partner jon hester. this is loop heaven: a pushy beat loop with many snares, reverse samples and an unexpected saxophone melody make this one the perfect changeover track from warm-up to peak-time. this ep shows dapayks skills to combine many musical influences into his unique still of tech-house music

following an outing to tokyo, our favourite old school pioneer jumps over the channel to knock out four edits to make the floors shake. this ep really cracks up the party vibe a notch. cor blimey!

fried tofu exists to bring some soulful sounds back into the mix. they have a militant approach to their output, selecting only the finest source material, and sympathetically reducing the ingredients to their raw, dancefloor friendly essence celebrating the often superior production of the 70s and 80s and avoiding the loudness wars which has seen club music recently distilled into an overcompressed and lifeless mass. far too many words have been wasted in the average release info sheet. so lets keep it short and let the music speak for itself.

after making the soundcloud thunder climbing up the weather charts with their legendary edits, dynamic duo chris jylkke and satin jackets decided to make things happen in the track business. the stockholm based dj and german producer stuck their heads together to come up with some lush and crispy funkiness made into black gold by the danish music veteran mike salta & marty mortale. already supported by guys like drop out orchestra, peter visti, casual encounters, sare havlicek and more. this is surely going find its way into the records bags of stardust loving djs around the globe.

a message from claude vonstroke: >sascha braemer has got the funk! i first heard him on the amazing thrill on kindisch which i charted in my top 3 tracks of 2008. after that i heard the even more amazing heinrichs and hirtenfeller album dark orbit, (my favorite album of 2009) on highgrade. i usually like to break new dirtybird artists but this time i had to go find this guy and beg him to make us something. sascha has got that tech-funk, caveman quality that is so elusive and hard for me to find as an a&r. and on this record you will hear why i went and found him. this is an absolute beast! both tracks are tried and tested club killers. truthfully, i cannot think of a better dance-floor record on dirtybird this year<
