original mix, big beats and massive vibe make the original a real dance floor monster. with an almost house vibe its hard to accurately classify, though ticking nearly all the boxes for a trance smash with awesome build ups and breakdowns. michael cassette remix, inventing their own style which you might call a kind of retro progressive house house the cassette boys never fail to impress with their big room sounds. this remix is certainly not an exception to the rule with aggressive beats and groovy oldskool sounds. store n forward remix, well whats left to say about the snf guys when everything they do is just awesome? another solid remix to add to their portfolio, a progressive sound of gritty basslines and trance euphoria.

the first twelve from johannes volk gained support keith worthy, mike huckaby, mills, etc. on this second release johannes drops a mighty techno stomper called internal structure reminiscent of some classic robert hood productions from way back. inspired by a severe an damaging tornado storm in volk?s hometown, this incredibly good, yet frantic piece of dance music is build from layer upon layer: static beats, grooving bassline, sweeping synths and a warm rhodes-esque sound make this a apocalyptic but colourful banger. on the flip we have gerd bringing home the potatoes for sure. his take on volk?s internal structure is a mighty acid stomper reminiscent of those warehouse parties, yet it is done in a very contemporary way. check!

meridian is a perfect example of dj 3000s evolution as a producer. the mark of a good producer is to never stop growing, once you do, you are condemned to making the same record over and over again and hoping no one notices. this record is the perfect marriage between the percussive staples of the motech sound, and a new lighter exploration of sound elements by dj 3000. >meridian< dares you to sit still while listening to it, or to stand on the wall if you are near a dance floor. its ability to make you dance as well as captivating your ear if you are sitting and listening illustrates the dynamic flexibility of the motech sound.

joey puts us under pressure with 5 filtered techhouse-disco-tunes that are strictly made to make anybody sweat.

this is quite simply one of the most glorious records you will hear this year. it would be easy to lazily reference it against classic period rephlex/planet mu stuff (oops, i just did!), and indeed it appears to share some of the same heritage (even going so far as to feature a remix of rephlex artist global goon in its tracklisting) - but chris leary aka ochre is obviously a man on his own mission. gorgeously lush, but at the same time super-funky…as electronic as kraftwerk starring in a remake of tron, yet somehow as pastoral and organic as edward elgar…much like his label-mate ed chamberlain, leary manages that tricky task of being supremely technical in his programming and arrangements, but without losing the heart and soul of the music amidst all the studio trickery. you know that old chestnut often said when referring to vintage or classic music, >they dont make them like that any more<? well they do…and here it is! simply fantastic.

minimal acidic electro-breaks that make the crowd go mad!

the original mix by duomek takes the form of their musical ideals: house, deep house and minimal. no doubt it aims to the most select dance floors. jon gurd is the one chosen to make the first remix, that for sure will make a lot of harm in the floors. talking about jon gurd is to talk about one of britain?s top class artist of the last years that djs all around the world, produces exquisite music, hold the label killawatt and runs his own program in ministry of sound radio. his productions are habitual in sets of artists like hernan cattaneo, james zabiela o carl cox. tech house of its best of purest kind. finally we find the vision of mintone through inigo ourezabals eye, the 50 percent of monomachine. this dj and producer from zaragoza has been recognized in this last two years as one of the best artist in the spanish music scene. paradigma, wit, leftroom o immigrant are some of the labels that have released his work. this time he bets for a very effective techno that will catch the ear of the lovers of this style.

supported by m-nus crew, onur ozer, marco carola, karotte, nick curly, anthony collins, x-pansul, matt star, sebastian roya, alexy delano, dave ellesmere… if the original ‘burning the midnight oil’ was already a blast in all minimal tech dance floors, the remix records arrives with a new twist to keep the discos moving. soulrack & mikel_e present a fresh groovy track full of voice lines that’ll go directly to a packed dance floor. seph moves around darker and more hypnotic territories with a continuous loop while fabrizio maurizi dives deep into old school, with some broken beats, distorted voices and numerous bleeps & clicks. a collection of hits that’ll make the night vibrate. long life martinez!

fresh fish presents an ep which is so far that you don t even notice how close it is. colombian paulo olarte is coming with a 4 tracker piece of vinyl to make you dance and and get you in touch with deep love. passion in the midpoint this beats and pads are gonna make you sweat. hypnotizing tracks of the latenight excursion class, featuring layers on layers to create a carpet of sound that slowly gets your mind to upper levels from which it s difficult to come back. the vocals let us imeditly think of “love on the street” and “solo tu” (including isoleé remix), last one raised quite a storm and was played in every afterhour all over the globe and appeared on many compilations like sven väths ibiza mix cd “the sound of the 8th season” or dinky’s “get lost” mix. so romantic has never left the hamburg label and it seems that it is here to stay. “tan lejos tan cerca” what else can we say

d.j. bang is the alias of a chicago house legend and undisputed heavyweight champ of all things boompty. can you guess who he is? its with real honour that we present the b.e.a.t.. the b.e.a.t. will make you wiggle

this vinyl pack just gets progressively better with this subtle, sophisticated rich tapestry of melodic synth lines & sublime drums. ‘madhouse is already a favourite with the scenes heavy hitters. ‘sensei barks deep housey stabs combined with soulful chord progressions to make a this sexy dancefloor mover. funk dvoid & toby bearing no surprises here with yet another quality track. enter ‘six hours later - galactic textures & dubbed out chords make the finale of this bedrock series a hypnotising aural journey.

rough to the touch, the jt3s latest will sink into your souls, purifying them by breathing in the bad and exhaling out the good. js songs use blues and r n b templates, executed with sweaty, wide eyed energy - and this time, hes added a couple of colours to his rainbow that are blowing our minds, those of dub reggae and ska, which squeeze next to their northern brethren with excellent tightness. you ll be left breathless after a nonet of new songs, all of which address the modern dilemma of identity and faith. vinyl only release - as befits the classic rock and soul sounds.

zero cash is back, served in slices! dont say what you think comes at you with two different versions, both hot out the over. the main mix is straight ahead, bangin and dark for the peak hours and tends to make you very nervous. the alternate mix takes you down the dial to minimal/sci fi soundtrack land slathered over an intentionally thicker crust. both mixes are hot and heavy and not for the feint of heart. then in classic zero cash style he lightens stuff up for the b side with more than enough taking you on an electro journey remniscent of 80s cop shows and shoot em up video games. served in slices, get em while they re hot!!!
