right on the heels of aux-records enthusiastically received 1st release featuring very contemporary revisits of the 1950s classic >fever< by franco cinelli and club rayo, this 2nd chapter of the aux-rec project travels to different eras, into different styles. and this is precisely what we had set to do: zig-zag through dance music history in search of personal favorites and classics to be revisited or refreshed. for the present release, we travel to two distinct dates: 1989 for the a-side, and 1979 for the b-side. two tracks that are 10 years apart, but that both share a fiercely upbeat and affirmative musical profile, as well as a certain ageless, core, compositional quality.

2004 classic!!

playing and singing together since their school days in west sussex, smoke fairies (jessica davies & katherine blamire) create ethereal, dark and haunting left of center folk and blues songs wrapped in beautiful harmonies with the occasional psychedelic flourish. following an ep and two singles, they now release their first for third man records. the songs gastown and the river song were produced by jack white (white stripes / dead weather)!

our man ryo murakami sends over the next transmission in his exciting and growing catalogue of productions. always inspired by the raw and soulful sound of chicago and new york, this next ep puts forward his vision and continuation of this timeless house feeling. lead track >just for this< is a wonderful celebration of heavy slow motion house. classic house references and even a few classic samples meet in a dirty, deep ride into the tweaked out and extended vibes of the late night people. a journey through the city of house, a perfect refl ection of the times, bringing warmth and light in a once colder world. graeme clark aka the revenge, a fi gure who has enjoyed much success with his deviant disco sound, steps up for remix duties - and a fi ne job he does too! building his mix from the bare bones, adding a little more pace and forward momentum, his version is also tightly bound within the roots of emotional, deep vibes house. this is an outstanding remix - functional, clear and fully devoted to the classic sound. on the b side a mysterious original, >untitled<, sees ryo pushing things a little further still. the energy levels climb higher and higher as this modern hypno-houser phases and pulses upwards over nearly 8 minutes of jacking, sample laden freshness. we love to visit ryos house, where everybodys welcome and theres smiles all round

5 track hardcore massacre!!

the heels of love, the new milan based duo born from the joint between michele tessadri (fratelli riviera, bearfunk) and sapo (member of the love supremeproject on tirk) >two disco reprimands with an unhealthy penchant for slap bass, synths and vintage drum machines< has made a lot of noise lately with just a couple of works. after debuting here on mom with a huge remix that made its way up to beats in space and tsugis 2009 best of compilation they have had the first official release on david griffiths (the man behind jisco music) new label, under the shade. this one has sent them right into the chart of almost every known dj of the scene. >quiet please< is a slow, 110 bpm groovy piece of psychedelic disco that has its force in the balanced mix of the wobbling analog bassline, the p-funk guitars and the old flavouredsynth riffs reminescent of 1992 chicago house.

after the great succes of the first white noise release, frank kusserow now teams up with legendary g-man for nr 9 on mr clarkes label.
dave clarke on this release:
>frank kusserow and mysterious ex lfo chap g-man hook up in a dark studio in germany to create some long and atmospheric grooves to accompany the longer nights. very atmospheric with dark edges and abnormal subbass levels.<

once again, lump sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes to make this world a better place . it s too late. the world has gone sombre and our man walks the desolate streets. the femme fatale is there, right under the street lights. the gansgster are all around. bobby has been shot and all the junkies are surrounding the dealer in the back alley. this is no house as you know it. this is harcore funk. it s noir, it s dirty, it s dangerous and risqué. run. the cops are coming...

next up from untracked is a superb ep by portuguese producer rui maia. includes a re fix from very hot property danny berman aka hot coins who has dubbed it, beefed it and flipped it with dark detroit atmospherics into a straight dancefloor detonation... comes in a beautiful embossed sleeve!

the hidden cameras never fail to capture the imagination. orchestrated by leader joel gibb, their live spectacles are unconventional to say the least ? everything from blindfolded band members and string players to go go dancers shimmying alongside gospel choirs. the hidden cameras latest work, origin: orphan, is equally ingenious as the four previous albums.

all the way from new zealand to the urban landscapes of berlin, simon beeston is a man who likes diversity. this is not just evident in his choice of residence, but also in his musical output. following an ep on highgrade digital and a track on our various artists vol. vi record, simon now presents dusty back room, his first solo 12inch release on highgrade. the ep opens with the title track dusty back room, a track of strings and stabs, and a sound not exactly typical of previous highgrade releases. but when the music comes with such compelling energy and provocative atmosphere, were prepared to make an exception. new zealand meets berlin as we cast an eye over green landscapes and ocean swells, while the bumpy groove intoxicicates us with its magic spell. that simon beeston is a man of great contrast is clearly evident on the b-side with neon cringe and cymbolic. the percussive heat of the club brings us back from the organic landscape of his homeland and into the neon lights of the night. neon cringe resonates with a healthy dose of acid pump, while cymbolic provides a bass driven journey complete with cut up vocals and blistering cymbal rolls. this is a release that richly deserves its round number: highgrade number 70. especially with the addition of the bonus digital track tough luck, another highlight all of its own.

reaching back through time to lay hands in the forges of metal, nycs children riff out the present with their debut, hard times hanging at the end of the world. formed through jam sessions by guitarists skyler spohn, jonny rad ollsin (formerly of vancouvers s.t.r.e.e.t.s.), and drummer adam bennati (of early man), the group laid waste to clubs in and around the city beginning in late 2006, and have kept shredding onward. tradition meets stamina head on throughout hard times six massive tracks. with intricate, narrative dual guitar work and a frenzied, wired demeanor children bring it all together: thrash advancements, serious girth, familiar passages crosscut with relentless speed, a formidable edge, and self proclaimed spiritual conspiracy party riffs.

1983 classic gets the italian treatment by frank o moiraghi!

already played by efdemin, akufen, mathias kaden, jimpster, frivolous, magda, jeff samuel, kez ym, mathias schaffhäuser, tomboy and more... strong gymnastic house tunes brought to you straight from the gym. pumping iron by brandt brauer frick… and 1 and 2 and 3! brandt brauer frick produce club music with self-recorded acoustic instruments (prepared piano, vibraphone, drums, various per- cussions, brass and string instruments), rhodes, bass guitar and few analogue synthesizers, as heard on their ep „iron man“ (incl. remixes by lee jones and treplec) or at their great performance at berghain last month. for the gym they have made two rather untypical house tracks, using more synths than they usually would, celebrating a more gymnastic dancefloor approach. enjoy!

may we say that you are looking great today! please, have a promo on us, we insist... so, our latest instalment features possibly our biggest release yet. some of you may well be familiar with >sanasol - tambourine man<, seeing as its been quite a tune with some of you already this year, but for those who dont, you really are in for a house based treat. initially released in 1997, tambourine man was a sleeper hit of its day. picked up by some discerning dj types again in recent times, the track has seen heavy rotation in some major clubs already…

marcus mumford built mumford and sons after his long standing position as laura marlings drummer / harmoniser began to earn him praise from all who saw them play live together. his battered and raspy voice soars with emotion over massive swells of country tinged orchestral pop. lovelorn lyrics filled with hope, anger, fear and every passionate extreme in between mean mumford and sons are sure to achieve a massive amount of praise for their debut album sigh no more, which demonstrates the strength in both song and sound. togetherness is fundamental to mumford and sons. its there in the tightness of the arrangements, and the four part harmonies - its pretty unusual to hear pitch perfect harmonies that are also meaty, masculine and downright loud. and its in the simple fact that mumford and sons get such a kick out of playing together.

aka mark broom & gunjack!! freakin up to date dubstep !!!

klas henrik lindblad (aka sasse / freestyle man) follows up his vibin ep debut on hairy claw with his tasteful 3 tracker, the century ep.
things open up with >century< is all about forward thinking groove, jazzy stabs & some tasteful samples. >master class< is all about the bassline and deep house sensibilities whilst >for the streets< conjures up images of detroit with its housey drums, cross-faded pads and slightly wonky keys.

juke and ghetto house hero dj gant-man was part of the fools gold family from the start - his remix of kid sisters >damn girl< was on the back of our very first release, quickly followed by production on kid sis >switch board< and shows around the country as her tour dj and hypeman. so naturally, we are very proud to present gants new solo single and debut fg artist release, >juke dat girl<.
from his earliest 12 inches on dance mania, to rocking parties around the world on the rave and club circuts alongside legends like paul johnson, gant has been pushing his signature chicago sound for almost two decades - mixing up rapid-fire juke beats while referencing all the house and disco classics that first paved the way. >juke dat girl< is the latest development of gants hybrid approach, slowing the bpms down to a more universal tempo but keeping the hyper, party-starting energy intact.
the banging original also comes backed with two massive remixes - an amped-up rave version from the heavily buzzed dc duo nadastrom and a groove-filled uk funky house rework from ex-bugz in the attic producers greenmoney. the entire single is a dj must-have, so pick it up and work! and juke! and work! and juke…

welcome to the world of mysterious organist & producer dan electro. dan electro is a charming guy who lives very far away from the sytem of babylon. his music is out of time... it carries the reminiscence of a time when people played music simply for the love of it... his touch is magnetic, mystical and inspired. dan electro musics really got soul. but the man has a complex background... for a long time, he played bass for the slow slushy boys, a band that still performs today one of the best rooted rythm & blues around the world. dan electro finds a great part of his inspiration within the universe of geniuses like louis jordan, eddie kirk, the five royales and the barefoot gospel divas sister rosetta tharpe or winona carr... and he is still involved in music that talks to both your ass and your soul... with a preference for the first !
the lucky discovery of farley jackmaster funks >fix me< revealed dan electro the connections between black music at its core roots and contemporary house music. shortly after, he started producing some amazing tunes that felt like love affairs between old church organs and mad computers... sung by ageless preachers & divas. his music has been played by djs such as gilles peterson, joey negro, sumo, recloose, dj morpheus, spiritual south, nick v, michael rutten, rainer truby, nik weston, unabombers, erik rug, philarmonix, patchworks, stevie sole... radios as bbc 1, frequence jazz, xfm scotland, radio fg, compost radioshow... enjoy !
