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 !

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.

3rd ep from the a nice hot edit with.. crazy p remix themselves alongside yam who...

following up his successful foray of sampling on otp party breaks, andy ash finds himself diving head first into the darker outer limits of big room dance music. >another world< nods its head to technos yesteryear, more specifically detroit. imagine a slower version of the motor citys soulful chord pulsing sound and youll find yourself in the right ballpark. add to this andys finishing jacking touch and the result is golden. this time around otps remix work finds italian man of the hour nicholas, from no more hits (label) fame and otps very own marcos cabral

einen abwechslungsreichen soundtrack für die vielen facetten, die eine spaßige nacht oder auch ein spaßiger tag im club zu bieten haben, präsentieren die herren kottlet & zadak passend zur kalten jahreszeit. just wait entwickelt eine minimal gehaltene, düstere und mysteriöse spannung, die sich schließlich in einem stehenden subbass entlädt. dessen vom ohr nicht mehr wahrnehmbare anteile erzeugen eine wonnige resonanz an der bauchdecke, die sich mit öffnendem cutoff über den rücken bis hinauf an die schädeldecke ausbreitet. freundlich, hell und auf anregende weise dennoch einlullend kommt danach der titel sunday daher, der in zusammenarbeit mit soukie & windish entstanden ist. mollono.bass lässt das im original humorvoll angesprochene arbeiten am montag mit seinem remix in geradezu phantastische ferne rücken: dubbige echoeffekte und eine extra portion verträumte melodie erwecken den eindruck von fortgeschrittenen stunden. doch auch die schwitzige stoßzeit einer party kommt nicht zu kurz: mit pulsierendem basslauf, dichten percussions und einem deutlichen anflug von swing vor einer soundkulisse, die an einen exzentrischen trickfilm erinnert, erfüllt hut ab alle anforderungen für das, was man landläufig als kracher bezeichnet.

we are happy to announce the first release from ultrastretch featuring nottingham-born and now london- based artist matthew burton. a – who loves yous short, sharp hats and robotesque samples build slowly and aloofly to what becomes a somehow familiar and nostalgically tinted style. it is in fact, sampled from the 1987s >the running man< soundtrack, originally composed by harold faltermeyer and picked and plucked apart by matthew burton to make it into his own. the epic synth riff melted with its strong kick and tightly sprung sound corners are eerie and atmospheric. >who loves you< resonates with all of us with its clear 80s feel thats been manipulated into a new and exciting piece of underground music from matthew burton. b – small winner takes us on another journey all together. a deceivingly kicky intro steers us into a combination of swooning orchestral brass and delicate jazzy piano keys who share their space with a crunchy and inviting rhythmic stride. its cleverly concocted instrumental experimentation lends its listeners ear towards the smooth ambience while the hypnotic beat keeps us subconsciously moving. dramatic pauses, a syncopated yet soothing orchestral fusion build >small winner< into an original and intriguing musical piece.

the power of lauer is indisputable. blessed with the uncanny ability to make hooks that would make bone thugs-n-harmony jealous in their heyday, phillip lauer is – pardon us – the melody man. his newest tour de force comes in two parts for our beloved live at robert johnson label. similar sounding to the legendary harmonizer (as if you would care), h.r. boss is new- romantic -italo -not -italowave that puts love on top of love (i.e. the aforementioned melodies). wouldnt sound out of place in sophie marceaus notorious la boum walkman. forbidden fruit is the sweetest. a little less full-bodied, yet as disarming, banned goes straight ahead with its ripply bass line, wheezing strings, a killer arrangement that completely deserves the tracks name plus a groove that wont stop. feels like delta nrgs filthy little brother. delectable! put on your red shoes

lightspeed champion gibt es jetzt auch in farbe! zumindest bekommt man dieses gef³hl, wenn man die vier songs der neuen ep bye bye von dev heynes h÷rt. die zusammenarbeit mit van dyke parks (produzent der beach boys, the byrds, joanna newsom) beschreibt dev daher auch als *pretty surreal*. beginnend mit einem ³berwõltigend sch÷nen cover des beach boys tracks >til i die< folgen eine weitere version seines bereits auf dem album >life is sweet! nice to meet you!< erschienenen >underwater there is nothing< sowie zwei ganz neue songs: >bye bye icarus< und >the mess you re in<. >lightspeed champions< ist der unerwartete sonnenschein f³r den man so dankbar ist, wenn die wintermonate angerollt kommen.

brand new ep on qalomota records, after the successful >kolakola-dj steaw< (only on vinyl) we strike again with the new generation of french house music producer. the qalomota family is proud to present you lemy leopard. this young producer got 5 tracks to house u all night long. from old skool flavor with >from the jungle< featuring laetitia dana and >welcome to my house< lemy is crazy about old kerri chandler or bassmental stuff! on b side lemy and the wellknow jocelyn mathieu (maw rec, animal house, dj fudge) give us >state of the world<, this song is perfect for the actual dancefloor. the two other tracks, >lemy house music< sounds really detroit smooth house music, >true soldiers< is definitly close to larry heards work in the 90s. his first ep is just a little taste of what lemy could do, because this guy is absolutly incredible, from hip hop to house and electro, he is the man!

prompt has been producing electronic music since the mid 90s and during this time has made a string of outstanding eps, some of which have even won awards. but who exactly is this man from madrid: prompt? to stand on a stage and party for hours in his own world is not prompts style. he would rather sit in the background of his studio and create unforgettable and ever more fascinating tunes. his debut ep on highgrade set the tone for his convincing mix of sound design and subtle hooks. these are also the most important elements for his new highgrade release. in >sharing sounds< its all about deepness. expressed through dense loopy forests and deep broken valleys. you have to engage in the sound experience and see the world prompt has built for you. few other techno producers have such a distinctive style or unique voice. with this ep you could be blindfolded on the dance floor and you would still recognize the music. the sound will convince you once again, both in the club and on the turntables at home.

classic pairing of migs & everett with mixes from micky more / soulmagic & the main man himself.

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË

new dutch label with its roots in the west coast italo disco scene. teaming up with long time buddy fred ventura sfera celeste project combines the melancholy of vintage italo disco with the black funk of man parrish and the mysterious atmosphere that good new wave used to have. pretty essential and highly limited (480 hand numbered copies) for the real heads. these guys come in the tradition of the earliest electronic dance music and show their love for man and machine. interesting new label and desirable first release!

a name to watch for the future proviant audio is an 18 yr old norwegian superstar in the making. sheer class from the young man

first on decks.de !! >when you dont have a single home, the no man s land of being in transit can be strangely comforting.< heimwehg is a mixture of the german word heimweh (aching for home) and heimweg (the way home). these two words represent the sound of hannes smiths first own release. hannes, born in the former german communist area in 1986, lived in reykjavik for the past two years and wrote this ep about the way back home to germany.

for this tune hem and terrible shock take apart an 80s soul lp, add some sci-fi synths, lazy drums and a sprinkling of analogue fx. after many painstaking hours of recording the duo take a well earned coffee break, then return to the studio just in time to see the back of the light-footed blunted robots man shortstuff as he runs off chuckling >your vocals are mine now!<. revenge plans are made, vehicles are fuelled up in preparation ? but these activities are cut short by the arrival of an email from the culprit ? it seems that he took the files back to his hq for what he describes as a refix ? with the engines still running, hem and shox check out the file and find it to be a work of genius ? what they hear is an accelerated kaleidoscopic fusion of on-beat claps and snares in a peak-time northern soul style, super heavy subbass hits and hectic syncopated keyboard chops.
