this time more disco-funk, with k. prima delivering 3 nice dancefloor cuts plus 1 slow-jam kind of miami coast-cruising track. it has already received quite some nice feedbacks from different artists such as, alexander robotnick, mr cisco, bumper, the diaphanoids, ajello, diskjokke and many others

after a longer gap than intended, part two of the cage & aviary remix series lands with a bang. truck are an enigma of a band, only forming when the astral alignments deem it appropriate - the next is due in 2012. cage & aviary take the brilliant vocal into proto/acid house territory with a killer bassline ready to move any dancefloor. crude vocal cut ups add to the 80s remix feel, while guitar licks, god pads, and all manner of prophet warblings come and go in a patchwork of angled sounds. sinister strings cut through at the mid way point before the superb outro vocal takes you home. for the dub, ape into jam & leo zero put their heads together and push the track into more of a dancefloor place, employing arpeggiators to keep the cut and paste elements rolling along. leo is a man of many excellent edits, productions, and remixes - watch out for an exciting new vocal project coming from him soon

the ann aimees mission continues with the search for the mother ship not yet fulfilled, dribs is the newest scout on board. after doing twice a track on compilation cds, and too many other promises, this ep forms his real debut. dribs, on earth known as fredrik stling, comes four times with beautiful carefully crafted electronica. all tracks come in gentle and easy, and in sound come most close to lucky&easy, kettel or boards of canada. intruiging rhythms, but most of all beautiful, beautiful melodies. dribs is preparing his debut album later on this year. the full sleeve artwork for this release comes again by delta.inc, making these ann aimee releases collectibles on their own.

cynosure flag ship artist and label navigator mike shannon reaches into his archives and selects the much-anticipated “the box ep.” “the box is open” was always a highlight of many of mr.shannon’s dj sessions and live acts. this cut delivers nostalgic, old school of detroit, soulful, techno jack. a ton to digest there but there really is no other way to sum it up. adam marshall graces the ep with a stormer of a remix. taking things a step further, adam really explores a different use of the chords given to you in the original. a smooth kicking set of drums and ever elevating sequences of synth keep you on your toes never really knowing exactly when things will drop. definitely a production trait that adam is best known for and it never fails on the floor. howie mangel

bearweasel are london-based duo dean muhsin and louisa page, a pair who in less than a year have a string of singles and remixes for some of the best labels around including 8-bit, tsuba, supernature, perc trax and murmur. the >sorry for nothing ep< is build around two original recordings, >risk< and >many more< and also features a remix from moon harbours dan drastic. first out of the gate is the original of >risk<, a track built around a shuffling percussion led groove. the spacious arrangement, intense stabs and low-key bassline lend a depth and quality to this cut that make it truly sublime. simple, understated yet devastatingly effective. next up, dan drastic reworks >risk<, turning in a remix that stays true to the original whilst imprinting things with his own sound. the drums are toughened up and the vibe is a little more dubbed out, providing an alternative that sits perfectly alongside bearweasels primary production

moeller s third, already highly anticipated ep for third ear, following the jazz space ep (3eep-068) and the one man s junk ep (3eep-088).once again we have selected 4 cuts of varying mood and intensity to create an ep offering many possibilities for the dj and a rewarding home listening experience. a1 - traffic (new wipers mix) is a driving wide-screen track which will turn the dancefloor into a heaving mass of frequencies and beats. this is close to a peak-time track. this is a high intensity track that holds the vibe in a state of impending release underpinned with a deep, open groove. 126bpm. a2 - slight transition takes the vibe very deep and keeps it there. a simple (genuinely less is more) drum pattern of a lightly hit snare drum, hi-hat and occasionally shaken guiro over a hypnotic bass pattern, hold the track in place for nearly seven minutes. a masterful control of tension offering the dj a number of options for where to take the dancefloor from this moment s respite. 119bpm.

played by luciano, lauhaus, kabale & liebe and many more. its about time! with >channel by channel< markus homm presents his first solo ep on highgrade. until now, this cosmopolitan citizen of the world, who shares his time between hong-kong, moscow, london and nuremberg – has been part of the successful collaboration: homm & popoviciu. one vinyl ep and three digital releases have already made a strong impression with the highgrade faithful. with this ep and its four groovey house tracks, markus homm signals the springtime. the title track >channel by channel< already foreshadows where this journey will end: fleet footed rhythms meet sweet chords and result in a sunny house groover that immediately kills the winter blues >torn< on the flipside is also built around an irresistible melody, while >xpander< (b2) gets things moving a little faster towards the end. proving again, how skillfully markus homm can create a deep groove from his handpicked melodic elements. it doesnt need much imagination to understand that these three classy tracks will bring their euphoric impact to every dancefloor they touch. thanks for letting the springtime roll, mr. homm!

following on from 2006s debut lp path of the gods, arne weinbergs second album will take you on a musical passage from alpha to omega and demonstrate the diversion of arnes palette of sounds. too many modern techno albums feature just a collection of tracks with no real story to tell, arnes second album aims to be more than just that and pushes further the boundaries of modern techno music. from the dark and mystic feel of everlasting to the floor shaking grooves of nightstalker and eclectic spiral or the deep electro influenced ambience of synthetic dissection and with trembling hands this album has it all.

hot natured represents a sunny and modern take on classic and future classic music. subtly changing, and adding a new edge to some of the many different genres that have influenced the east london wideboy and los angeles newcomer who are behind the label. along the way hot natured will serve up disco through techno re-edits, pop remixes even slices of hip hop injected with the kind of dancefloor knowledge only a seasoned dj can tap into. whether its the reimagining of seminal artists like radiohead to kanye west, or chic to notorious b.i.g, the main goal is to do this with a certain level of sophistication and class, that is often lacking in the >unofficial remix< world.these artists and their work have represented unique points of inspiration for hot natured and its aesthetic. some might argue, >why mess with perfection?< well that attitude isnt much fun, is it? so please sit back, or rather get up and enjoy the first serving of hot natured, two naughty groove riddled versions of possibly two of the best pop records of 2008, chopped spliced and funked up by a well known london techno youngster.

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks
