anouka started a year ago with her first sets on soundcloud and the response was incredible, building her fan base consistently. her debut ep traveller is released on soso, the label that she runs together with zusammenklang and oliver schories. the ep reflects what anouka always tries to express in her sets: showing that melancholy and happiness are very close together and they can work harmoniously. she recorded the vocals for both tracks by herself, which was challenging yet very rewarding. frequent traveller kicks things off nicely with its melancholic moodiness shining through as we meander effortlessly through berlin inspired melodies, while the sultry vocal sits wonderfully on top adding an extra layer of depth. christopher schwarzwalder is on remix duties, and from the off creates tension as this atmospheric rework subtly growls as it grooves. its sparseness is the key here, as this restrained gem works its magic. liberty is next as it tinkles away, creating a warm glow, and its caressed with its spoken french vocal, creating an air of sophistication. and rounding things off nicely is the midas 104 remix. this mystical touch up takes the energy levels up a notch, but increases the melancholy further and adding an air of just the right amount of wonkiness and quirkiness.

appropriate to the golden gate club s philosophy and attitude, -its never to late for gate-, ggcr is coming up with cat.002. it took nearly 2 years for this second release, we could also say, better now then never or good things take time, but hey, who cares anyway? to the content, -golden times- is a exclusive various artist collection, trying to reflect the wide spectrum of sound we find in the place. four very different producers with four different tracks but yet a unique vibe. techno, deep house, tech house and electronica goes here very smoothly hand in hand. while only three of them, saytek, midas 104 and elizar & dromme are placed on the vinyl, samuel fach s -technologie- has been added as digital bonus.

berlin based label schakal’s first ep comes from antialias, one of its two founders and is called -somber clarity-. the title track makes us think of the return into the early morning light, but could just as easily be a reminder to those dark and delirious hours that came before.

dj t.s pleasure principle immersed itself, wholly and rapturously, into electronic musics legacy of soul, and helped to usher in a new period of groove-heavy deepness. like an antidote to clinical club sounds, album standout tracks like sense inject some well needed groove into the dancefloor. the maxi version of sense partners faraway melodies with james teejs breathy vocals that get up close and personal. a deep electro funk bass riff establishes its intent, and snaky percussion leads to a more structured house beat. piping flute sounds and drum echoes add an element of swing, while analogue handclaps and the tracks distinctive bass line recall its retro pedigree. newcomers tale of us continue their journey into dark minimalism, with a remix that isolates the percussion and vocals, shrouding both in reverb for maximum atmospheric effect. a sense of unease pervades through the saturated bassline and slow delayed handclaps, creating frosty mists and dark corners within the synth-tech house arrangement. hot natured duo lee foss and jamie jones next bring their sunny midas touch to the proceedings. teasing out the intro with high hats and layered vocals, a sense of anticipation is high. it blooms into sleek, skittering beats and otherworldly sounds, with a bass line thats been cut & paste back into place, before it delves deeper into a menacing deep bass synth rumble. the club version begins with a kick, deep echoes and meek percussive sounds that loop upwards through the scale. the distinctive bass line and handclaps begin, then teejs unadulterated vocals are pushed to the fore. brittle metallic synth flares appear from below the bass-heavy beat and recede again, ending in an electro-disco retro groove

edu continues to demonstrate his personal artistic development on niquel. staying loyal to his unmistakable groove, he explores a more a progressive and melodic style and sound. diynamic artist david august again shows his midas touch. with a simplicity that belies its effectiveness, david plays heavily on the melodies, creating a most precious of remixes. quite different, yet equally as impressive is the remix from dosem. beautifully emotional, and laden with synths and semi-acoustic guitar lines, it is a mix for the purists, without a doubt

pale sketcher (aka justin broadrick of jesu/godflesh fame) follows up his ghostly debut >jesu: pale sketches demixed< release with the ep, >seventh heaven<. broadrick covers a large palette of styles, discovering moods and rhythms that further expand the pale sketcher sound. it further solidifies his taste for electronic material that bled into his jesu project and solidifying pale sketcher as yet another legitimate project for this prolific artist. >seventh heaven< includes 4 brand new tracks that highlights a variety of influences from drum n bass and shoegaze to trip hop and dub. the lone remix is a dub meets trip hop sound reminiscent of trickys >maxinquaye< period from the legendary king midas sound. pale sketcher is clearly figuring out his next big step with the >seventh heaven< ep.

echospace are proud to announce the third ep from the forthcoming cv313 album, >dimensional space<. this release marks the first remix from one of the uks most revered talents -- king midas sound (the bug) who manages to take the original in a direction one would never expect, creeping and trembling right at the very core of your very being. this is truly the midst of something beautiful, its haunting, infectious and has no restrictions to gravity, this is truly something to float in. next we have a heady subliminal interpretive from seattles, rafael anton irisarri as the sight below (ghostly) there is a reason why his sound has even turned the head of radiohead front man thom yorke and if i had to guess i would say its rafaels emotional range, he tugs right at the heart strings. this mix is as narcotic as you would expect, a slow motion dream where in every twist and turn a new detail unfolds, its like visiting an unexplored world -- subtle and hypnotic. on the b side (our first sound snippet) we have a more 4/4 number culled from deepchord presents: echospace (modern love) live set from this past year. this one has been tried and tested at countless shows and club floors around the world. its all about that syncopated bassline, a subterranean bottom and an atmosphere as deep as the ocean floor -- this is underwater space funk.

disco love is a new series of fabulous disco records that you have probably never heard of. all superb records presented to you by the legendary al kent from the unlikeliest disco haven of glasgow.

a sick collection of secret armand van helden cut and paste 80s tracks. lots of nu wave stuff going on with big euro samples getting van heldens midas touch. twins of pleasure is the favourite cut, with its pulsing retro bassline line and banging drums. the hilarous ktu track is another goody that wrecks a freestyle sample with ny radio station ktu ids on it. with all the current interest in the 80s, this is a really fun take on the idea.

next highgrade killer !! incl pan pot remix

next highgrade killer !! incl pan pot remix

germany’s finest house duo knee deep deliver a slick, fiesty little 4 tracker entitled the ‘big love ep’. showcasing their clubbier edge the guys take a step back from the big vocal workouts to drop 4 king-sized, groove-infused house gems - each one equally playable, bursting with their unmistakable midas touch, and set to cut it amongst any dancefloor worth its salt. this ep got already massive support from the defected camp including a feature of the forthcoming defected compilation >miami in the house< there’s plenty of music for all on here

to honor zumbis tale, we re grateful for the contribution of two of europes finest producers. berlin based henrik schwarz is a long time aficionado of funk, house, disco, jazz, techno and soul. exploring those musical forms and pushing the boundaries in between is his humble mission. his adventures into hi fi are truly amazing and pure bliss. once again hes blessing a vinyl with an enormous remix treatment! and last but not least back by popular demand, enrico volcov! milanos soulbrother with the midas touch, known for his outstanding production work on projects such as rima or his current isoul8 on sonar kollektiv, drops a deep and growing house rework in approved manner

to give his work a new context and to recall some of the timewriter’s finest moments, plastic city label gave his thumbs up for resensed part one, asking acclaimed musicians and newcomer producers alike to give the already complete masterpieces the midas re touch. the result, a first sequel of remixes that are now published on timewriter haven plastic city are at least as fascinating as thee eight original tracks and will equally appeal to those die hard the timewriter fans as well as those who discover him for the very first time

souvenir records!!! lets just start this introduction with a quote: >we like the idea of seeing music as a souvenir, an impression you take from somewhere. something intimate to remember<. this is how the brothers schwarz aka tiefschwarz set the agenda for souvenir music, which they created with their french companion arthur velasquez and thus finally set up their own imprint after an eventful decade in the musicbiz. even just a quick listing of mighty deeds in the underground dance community would fill up page after page. if the story of king midas wasn t already centuries old, someone would have made it up now to describe the phenomenon of recent tiefschwarz remixes. who would serioulsy doubt that their golden touch also will rub on their own label and turn this start-up into another stellar success? cooked up in their berlin the first course >hey< by the artist ichundu is set to become the flavour of the month, even more so with extra delicious ingredients tiefschwarz added to their remix. yummy !! played by sven väth, sasse, chloe, tobi neumann, karotte...

coming stateside with this very freakish/dlc-styled track, a perfect pairing for select imprint. the original i dont laa features a rubbery euro/german bassline with some diz-like vocals and cut-up clicky electronic drums - sleazy, greasy stuff thatll appeal to a nice range of electro-house djs. remixes come fromthe midas alums honest cars who turn in a gritty, rock-flavored electro-pop that could fit nicely in with the angrosso/prydz fans, and freak-meister himself luke solomon who completely flips the vocal over a buzzing and burbling acid backing track. mental gear for only the most twisted dancefloor sessions here

2nd batch comes from tiefschwarz and starskee. tiefschwarzharsher electronic has never lost its groovy side but this remix shows that their roots are clearly dug into deep house. fact: it has been championed by laurent garnier. starskee was the team behing the massive midnight stars the midas touch remix that blew uslast year. their remix is ivan smagghes favorite of the pack: like the cure on minimal and funky drugs

a three track serving of some tasty tech-tribal funk. nothing but jamming dancefloor flavors on this one, setting things off with the cut-up funk/b-boy stomper 'backside bump' and the bass-happy hypnotic grooves of 'midas touching'. on the flip the dark and driving west coast vibe of 'you do all that' fits perfectly in with the classic casa sound: a stark tech-house groover thatll satisfy all the mastik soul/gideon jackson fans out there. scintillating stuff from the casa boys

2cd with 32 funk /disco clasasics

over the years, berlin has been cited as oliver koletzkis main point of reference and, more importantly, his endless source of inspiration. his albums gro§stadtmŠrchen and gro§stadtmŠrchen 2 are wholehearted tributes of the german capital, as its importance is continuously hinted and charted. friedrichshain, one of berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in olivers heart. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. kreuzbergs wall paintings adorn stil vor talents cover sleeves and host their headquarters. there are little to no corners in the city that havent brought a spark of inspiration into the mix. the schneeweiss compilation series, now at its eigth installment, is built as a form of tribute to all these particles, tied in together into a series of carefully curated tracks. each compilation stands at the intersection of the musical and cultural surroundings most prominent of their respective times
