joey returns to his own jackin tracks imprint for a lovely 4 tracker, this time re-releasing two of his classic tracks and showcasing two new ones. for anybody who may have missed it, joeys >sunrise ep< on freaked records uk came out in 2004 and was widely regarded as one of the best records in his discography. the standout was >memories< featured here beautifully remastered on a1. it has since become a house classic, and also a very hard-to-find record. on a2 is >the devils groove<, a twisted cut perfect for those drugged out moments at 5 am in a very dark room. flip for b1s >country life,< nice dancefloor-aimed material with a massive bassline and soulful male vocals, this one was surely inspired by derrick carter and achieves that sound perfectly! and lastly is >45 funk< – the full a-side track on the original freaked release - old-school youngman sound, undeniably funky with a wicked keyboard solo thrown in for good measure

remixes by woody & dj t.!! dj t.s >the dawn< 1st appeared in may of this year, and it was a 12inch of typical poise, refinement and dancefloor effectiveness from the get physical boss. now its time for the remixes... first up, t. himself tackles >jam pot<. the resulting track is the dancefloor monster that >jam pot< always threatened to be - subtle, intelligent, but unswerving in its intention to rock the floor. for a fresh treatment of >the dawn<, t. hands over the reins to woody, the legendary former resident dj at berlins e-werk and a true architect and soldier of the citys techno underground.the result is undoubtedly psychedelic, but the powerful, minimalist drum patterns and sheer production panache mean this will be a big hit with the feet and hips as much as the mind. this is a remix 12inch you cant afford to miss - two very different productions which will stimulate both cerebrally and physically. the dawn is here!

these swedish producers never cease to amaze with their disco-fantastical production skills. this new tune is no exception. song fot edit is a lovely club journey instrumental with drawn-out strings, plucks, and jabs. almost moroder-esque, itll be quite difficult to decide which of the two mixes, original or club, to play. well then you may just have to play both.

big one for all the italo and cosmic disco heads!! >satellites are spinning< is an amazing disco oddysey which kicks off with a patrick cowley like electric bassline and the builds slowly. more and more synths are laid down to ensure for a mighty climax half way true when the lead melody kicks in. on the b-side we have this amazing vocal booguie tune called >u cant help but dance.< this can be compared with a moodymann meets theo parrish meets dexter wansel kinda song. whatever this may be, rest assured this nugget moves booty when dropped in the club. this awesome package ends with an electronic p-funk track called >zweap.< the mighty linndrum computer reminds of earlier prince productions and the crazy synths sound like amp fiddler playing on another dirty and energetic george clinton meets parliament gig

slutbox (billy dalessandro & daniel mnookin) >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep (jason emsley & brian ffar remixes) billy dalessandros, daniel mnookin & brian ffars beloved siteholder returns with one of the best releases in the labels history. the sound is infectious, minimal minded and addictive, spreading through the world like an epidemic this only proves their chapter on techno is yet to be written. the title track is intricate, layered and warm, some might say it makes reference to sleeparchive with its metallic drums and deep analog vibrations. the massive sub bass is something you must experience on a raging dancefloor at 5am, this will jack you straight into the afternoon. dark haunting vocals (very on par with the m_nus crew) clicks & cuts percussion and decaying melodies. flip this one over for massive analog richness with this huge jason emsley mix which i get the feeling he took a lot of influence from dan bell back in the day as this sounds like revisiting the 7th city again, stunning. the brian ffar & huge hephner mix is filled with ever evolving basslines and residual synth pulses on top of bass sophistication thatll beg for deviant behavior at any hour. perfection if i may say so myself, do not miss

clectic producer johnny dangerous returns to king st. with yet another esoteric single, only yourself. his unique spoken word vocal stylings are what set him apart from other dance music producers. haunting as they may seem, they penetrate the psyche while the underlying rhythms rev up the body. italian heavy hitting producers, the pasta boys, are on board to give this an effective synthy remix thats perfectly inline with johnnys lexis. edgy, dark, minimal, techy and punchy, their remix gives energy without being overly aggressive. for those who need something a bit lighter, johnny dangerous original mix puts a bit of the funk and soul back into the song with guitar wa was and slapping percussion. theres something incredibly sexy about what johnny dangerous brings into being. is it his voice? his lyrics? his production? whatever it is, its good, and a pasta boys remix to boot? buon apetito
