adf, aka adriano filippucci which manages to achieve a homogeneous fusion combining the euphoric feeling of techno and the vibrant soul of house. the title track, >perugia< is named after adrianos hometown in the heart of italy. whether it is the warmth of the sun or the mediterranean lust for life, perugia turns out to be a massive track, with its sparking melodies and a real sense of atmosphere and dynamic mischief. perugia gets the remix treatment from two of the directors at the highgrade headquarters. todd bodine sends the track firmly in the direction of detroit and into some new sonic territory. label boss tom clark sets the focus on the tracks technoid energy and simply lets the groove run away on route to its own destination. avanti avanti, amici!!

the first single from her upcoming wagon repair debut album and her first release of 2009, dinky (aka alejandra iglesias) is ably following up on the momentum gathered from her 2008 album may be later on vakant. in a decade of releases on labels from cocoon and traum to carpark and crosstown rebels, dinky continues to cement her place amongst technos most enterprising producers with four new tracks. opener wind mesmerizes with repetitive keys looped over a straight kick. chirped tones pulse curiously amidst descending melodic chimes in a steadily evolving elemental journey that equally evokes reich and contemporaries (and new label mates) cobblestone jazz. outro establishes territory with intoxicating arpeggio melodies, while wet hair plunges us into submarine depths. dripping with resonance and reverb, sporadic metallic tones color a dense mix of murky pads and sharp beats. interrupted briefly by an epic symphonic interlude, wet hair continues its descent into deep and dark territories to close. the eps closer, butterfly floats with squeaked melodic tones and breathy vocals taking lead over a busy percussive base. saturated with a variety of sounds from indigenous samples to wobbly bass and deep detuned keys, butterfly takes us on a winding scenic route, disorienting and enchanting in equal measure.

this will be a big one in both techno and disco circles... do not sleep!

played by brothers vibe , gerd janson (running back)... introducing two brand new lindstrom tracks: the magnificent and disturbing the perfect symmetry the leftover ep came about when prins thomas, todd terje and smalltown supersound were let into the lindstrom vaults so to speak. lindstrom makes a lot of music obviously (he has one album out this year already with prins thomas and another one with christabelle coming in october), and these were two tracks just laying around that he hadnt thought about releasing. when both prins thomas, todd terje and his label insisted that the tracks had to be released, he decided it was maybe a good idea to make another 12inch since it had actually been a while since the last one. and we are all happy by that. these are some of his finest moments. his signature melodies and sound are all here ready set dancefloors on fire. hope you like them as much as we do. enjoy!

the debut 12inch from finnish duo hannulelauri! first up is glittering night, conjuring visions of 8 bit videogame soundtracks applied to the dancefloor, or an alternative theme to the movie robocop (which lauri seems to have a strong affinity for), with shimmering electric synth chords washing over a commodore 64 groove before a peter hook soundalike drops a lovely bassline, making new order comparisons inevitable (a good thing!). perfect late night machine funk. next is sally 2000, a more introspective piece with insistent digital strings providing the foundation for a childlike toy chime melody, pulsating bass and more as layer upon layer builds to a fuzzed out, pixelated yet beatless climax. finally, the late night vibe continues as sally 2000 gets a version from finlands techno/house master jori hulkkonen who works the tracks pleading strings into a more dancefloor friendly mix, adding perfectly tuned drums and a nice, fat kick but keeping the synth melodies intact and the tempo slower than your normal electrohouse jam. adventurous djs looking for alternative moods need look no further! another strong flexx release.

a new member to the 4lux family the talented alex agore! his productions are drenched with pumping beats, catchy riffs and funky deep grooves. to give some quick references we could say that alexs 1st twelve for 4lux is reminiscent of some of moodymann and theo parrish tunes fused with some dj sneaks uplifting spirits. 4 tracks with the syncopated collage of quiet jingling, subtle handclaps, keyboard melodies, and soul-drenched vocal samples and phat phat basslines! this will sell out even faster then the previous kez ym release on 4lux. you missed that one? don t sleep on this! essential house record.

after a recent guest performance on seuil’s eklo label, michael melchner - the young producer and dj from nuremberg - is back with another stunning ep for cargo edition. melchner is the resident-dj of the ‘kiss klub“ party series at nuremberg’s famous club ‘die rakete’, and music aficionados will have had their eye on this up-and-coming artist for a while now. this time around michael melchner dishes up three top-notch house tracks for us. “you understand“ is techhouse at its best, where he deftly holds and rides that balance between deepness and the dancefloor. a continously forward-pushing bassline is combined with a mysterious vocal sample and restrained breaks. „wooob“ grabs you with its devastatingly simple rhythm, while the bassline cuts through with a high dose of funk. topping the track off we have a vocal loop that shows off michael’s affection to the musical beginnings of house. this ties in nicely with the ep closer »just a skip« which reminisces over the sound of chicago. profound melodies, skillfully arranged vocal samples and a whole heap of soul suggest that michael melchner may just have produced a modern house classic. so again, just like on his first ep for cargo edition in may last year, michael melchner has managed to paint a musical portrait combining the present and the past into one classic moment.
