played by dj koze , mathias kaden, laurent garnier... philpot records proudly welcomes reggie dokes on board. the owner of awesome psychostasia recordings in detroit and well known producer for the detroit beatdown posse as well as theo parrishs sound signature drops with the >rain redemptive love< ep his first release on our label. >love< got this amazing typical reggie-groove: rollin percussions meet melodic sequences, forward-pushing beats go hand in hand with charming piano chords and lovely strings parts…very psychedelic! the second title >rain on me< is a deep mover par excellence, an arrangement between very dry and percussive beats and twisted arpeggio…. italo without the cheese! finally >black children of the ghetto< (taken from the album >my electronic mind< as a vinyl exclusive) rounds up this 12inch, slowing down the tempo and totally trippin out on its repetition. thanks for purchasing a real copy!

this three track ep starts with the title track >walking alone<. showcasing mike’s attention to the deepest details, this track begins with warm, fuzzy chord sequences onto which a multi-layered framework of tones and textures are laid. crisp beats mesh with hypnotic bass pulsations, inviting the listener to lose himself in the sound. proper deepness here - for those who seek the essential elements and nothing more, rhythm, melody, bass line, emotion.. expertly produced, >passing tunnels< goes further below the surface as icy chords meet electrified analog stabs, enveloped in cavernous reverbs and shimmering delays. this is a dark, simmering groove for those who know the rare and precious value of a deep, unpretentious tune that can move you from the inside out. take time and listen - there’s no denying the vibrations here. and finally, rounding off the ep is label boss patrice scott’s rework of >walking alone<. properly titled the >atmospheric remix<, p. scott takes the track to another level. while keeping the basic elements of the original, p. scott adds spacey, vibrant melodies to extenuate his version taking you on a journey to a distant planet while on the dance floor.

played by loco dice, l.garnier, dixon, prins thomas... big remixes by daniel stefanik & jackmate outstanding release!! champagne or water – which one is more suitable for a small label jubilee? well, probably its best to celebrate such an event with a superb release. after the highly appreciated compilation >moon harbour inhouse vol. 2<, moon harbour throws in 12inch number 30 by its very own mario >marlow< weise. alongside label founder matthias tanzmann he has been part of the moon harbour family right from its start, having had two veritable hits during the last two years with >movin< and >quiet<, both together with singer dehlia/franziska grohmann. his new track >water< (b2) breathes fresh air into the almost forgotten genre of deep house. organic elements meet detailed sound work and subtle pop appeal. with singer claudia nehls at the mic, warm chords, handmade bass and a surprising guest appearance of the flute >water< is the perfect companion for the sweet melancholy of early summer days.... big re-release !!!

the fourth release on the serialism imprint comes from itzo, a london duo consisting of one english (half of guy noir on resopal) and one spanish. the result is a brilliant mix of techno influenced minimal funk, stylish, cool and always groovy. the whole ep has a very refined sound that offers some delightful melodies all the way through, combined with big fat rhythmic structures that just force you to dance all the time. a delightful and original ep

ltd backstock.. the <night works> album from layo & bushwacka!

the legendary or album by golden boy with miss kittin

after the extremely successful filmmusik ep on rompecabeza, holgi star is back with >not for me<. the ep consists of two tracks with technoid crossover potential! on >not for me< bits of african vocals meet functional techno and seamlessly weave together into a quite sexy and rather danceable number. all the while >dont feel it< coolly, calmly, and with just enough repetition, establishes its class and style without unneeded flourishes. both tracks were extensively tested by the rompe crew at sonar 2008 in barcelona, and reactions spoke of the potential both of the artist and the ep itself!!!

rong music teams up with the dfa label & what a stunning debut we get! drugged out beatles-esque melodies meet angry butthole surfers psychedelia. a 9 minute walter gibbons style disco mix from barfly is on the flip. also includes the aptly titled quick and painful

pure jamaican summer feeling...

for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum’n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

incl polder rmxs !! big with steve bug, laurent garnier, jeff samuel, peace division, magaret dygas, dave mothersole, jonny rock. welsh wunderkid leif returns to fear of flying after his much played >commonplace ep< from last year with another beautifully paced ep of super sweet minimal house music.

the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

the quality that the inland knights have become known for over the past ten years shows no sign of letting up and they continue to experiment with new sounds and styles, which the >bad man< ep shows perfectly!

another alias from our man inflagranti. killer new york electro-disco meet german krautrock of highest order. traveling without moving could be the subtittle to this piece of mindblowing music. pure class

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

first release on central by different central artists like leper, bryantist and dirtbox with tracks from deep flavoured minimal techno to ambient and funky electro

the homewreckers sound deep funky, peerlessly adventurous, with elaborate clicking beats, beautifully organized riots of ideas crowding every track. their first album american ruhr will drop first half of 2008. the first release of the homewreckers feat. kemo its about time on unique records is a beautiful monster jam that will destroy dance floors all over the world. the homewreckers style plows right over any preconceived notion you may have about the current funky underground grind. its about time is such a lusciously deep track where tradition and innovation meet. tradition as in the soulful roots of 70s funk and house music, innovation as in the streamlined, sparse arrangements and shrewd use of technology. the homewreckers truly master rhythm and space - and hawaii born kemo fully adapts to the music and the atmosphere with his amazing spoken word poetry.

this time, doctor pepp and doctor hugg investigates the secrets behind the pappas mechanism that is the source of the love explosion. in the 2007 report >pappa love mechanism and it social economic studies< we have tried to cover the whole process from the first eye contact on the dancefloor to the sucessful stimuli of ollon and completion of the explosion. it is reported that at least 52 sucessful explosions inside the mamma during 2007 (percentage of error 3.45%) where produced under assistance of the special hugg & pepp frequency spectrum in our test envrioments. we are very proud to present this spectrum in two separate files, the pung spectrum and the ollon spectrum, each one being specially designed to meet the high level criterias of today. the pung spectrum has a base frequency of about 75.5 hz for wich most pungs will be mostly efficient. how ever, this special spectrum has such a rich and joyful tonal range making contact on the dancefloor under influence of alcohol is no longer necessary

what do you get when two international top artists meet? fireworks! for the first release on the brand new sinuz label peter luts teams up with house dive barbara tucker. one is the kind of catchy house tune that spreads so much energy that you simply have to start dancing! no wonder it was chosen to be the anthem of brandnew antwerp based club noxx, where peter has a weekly residency. other remixes are delivered by dizkodude, dj ward and peter luts himself.

first techno output by this collaboration between mario masullo, already known for his records on defrag and for his collaboration with g man, and maurizio martusciello, one of the pioneer and key figure in the italian electronic scene. woy out lines is a melting pot between different styles with an ear to the past and an eye on the future. on the a side a stylish minimal tune that present a solid, sophisticated groove with 303 pattern interaction and a melancholic and touching pad that give to this track a special taste that reject the abused micro techno trend. on the flip side dogon, here the 303 pattern is the body and the front of the track, the bass line is mind blowing and evolves floating during the whole arrangement, tribal voices, percussions and distorted synths to complete this energetic tune. m203 is a futuristic detroish track where the machines meet the softwares techniques to create an hybrid sound, the bass line is preminent but is well mixed with a lot of small details and concrete sounds. overall woy out lines is an eclectic and tasteful record

a: tral 49 - a easy beat with good placed cheeping sounds and well-balanced grooves are the key elements of the track >tral 49<. after a dj friendly introduction gloominess and psyche meet each other and invite to dance as both complement each other in full harmony and build the peak to the basis. b 1: zwischenlandung is a minimal track which atmosphere bringsa convenient feeling. the track starts with an emotional bass line which makes space, in the continuing story line, for a melancholic melody which coherence and charm never gets lost. b 2: der kuss des drachen -the finish is a nice homage to all which prefer a more relaxed motion but don t want to start sleeping on the way. a grooving beat cooperates in effective harmony with a classic chinese stringed bowed instrument so that you don t want to stop to seesaw in the rhythm. the whole time short padding sounds build up and down without losing the red line or leaving space for boredom

black-chrome returns with a monster record! german producers conners & klingler delivers a storming peak-time prog piece, a true gem that builds on and on, a certified dancefloor destroyer. the original mix is first up and it is a solid progressive house affair that has already seen strong support by chris fortier in particular. strong beats meet a vocal by fay sephirah and the highlight in this track is the solid effects the track features midway in...
