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

digital villains is lee mintram from the uk. busted speaker is a well jackin house track in all its glory. a slice of fresh club drivin music thats perfect for this label. combining the sounds of the past with the newest tricks and a touch of class. a2 for joeys remix steering far from his signature sound, it comes closer to what you might expect from a coupling of justin martin and jacob london with a very strange vocal. flip for joeys disco madness remix. a full side reminescent of the subliminal sound of around 1998 with the youngman touch added

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

some might remember the classic urban cookie collective track chadroy dempsey delivers a 2007 update

some might remember the classic piano house track this is an awesome 2007 version a must have

dont worry, christophe dalla-ca aka kiko is not interested in a seventies disco revival, even if the tongue in cheek reference to john travolta in the title track of this ep might imply that. on the other hand, the work released by the man from grenoble for such renowned labels as ozone, hot banana, goodlife and turbo has consistently shown that kikos interpretation of techno from the 2000s also includes a conscious reworking of past dance floor orientated electronic music. in this sense, kiko has succeeded in making three stand alone, coherent interpretations of a mutual meltdown of new wave, disco and elektro, with the tracks on the >tragolta ep<. whether he is impressing with the best possible mix of ebm and dave clarkes red series (30.1) or enchanting us with the continuously jewel like, dazzling melancholic melodies of >electric burst< or >tragolta<– the fact remains true that he perfectly supplements this approach to the sound cosmos of datapunk

>sos< combines the classic stonebridge club sound with some new, fresh elements that all together thrown into the melting pot lead to serious mass hysteria on the dancefloors. vocalist erire, who has been alongside the swedish house don for many years provides a classy female vocal that stays in the clubbers mind and keeps flowing perfectly with a huge bassline and some genuine synth riff. on the flip ortega & gold deliver a mix that at first listen might sound a little too heavy but try this in the club and youll see what happens! additional mixes still to come from wawa, chris kaeser, playmaker and man of the moment mischa daniels will add their magic to and already outstanding record in its original versions. sos-stonebridge is back with a blast

rmxs by t. raumschmiere / leandro gamez / adriano canzian... once again, in mad dildo we have been splashing out on dirty princess, with this third onslaught of pure madridstyle cryptic prowess we have the reverencial and indomitable might of: t.raumschmiere (shitkatapult / berlin), adriano canzian (porno studio/milano) leandro gámez (circle music/madrid) the philosophical expression of this mystically imbued elixir will entrance all, into a post religiuos extatic state and elevate them to the most empirical electrouterinarian sin. what better than another offering of our fresh filth, to illustrate our euro-iberian ireverence

the music is playful, ambitious, simple, complex, fun and melancholic and not at least. it is extremely animalistic. they have an album >animals< ready to drop in 2007. elephant s parade was played completely live with drum machines, synths and analogue sequencers. the duo like to record this way (compared to stuck infront of the computer) as they get more free in creating a specific and spontaneous feeling. here one might imagine a big gang of crazy elephants getting lost on a psychedelic parade. in the middle of the track things are getting a bit weird, perhaps too much amarulla fruit, which gives the second part its childish and naïve playfulness. on the flipside bird song has a dirty, noisy, trippy vibe with a little touch of basic channel sound. shake a tail feather !! played by anja schneider, karotte, tobi neumann, troy pierce, woody

nice price deal !!! neztics first vocal excursion started as a remix for shlavens & d lav but soon took on a life of its own. this is a big room and deeper affair than what you might expect from neztic, but this simply shows the diversity of this amazing producer

new yorks label funk la planet is back once again and this time they hook up with new york up and rising producer filsonik to bring you this monster track called evolution. you might already be familiar with filsonik work with tracks such as can u feat nr3 or keep it basic by filsonik and timmy regisford that have made big waves in new york underground club scene and internationally. this is what they say about evolution

seeed solo house side project! brill henrik schwarz vocal & dub, martin buttrich mix and all might club mix. record of the month

mr. cubanix brings it down laid back and smooth on hott steppa and breakthrough. nice bassline and rhodes combinations keep the overall sound quite loungey and upscale. it is on gosando however, that things get cookin with its harder tribal drums and oh so dark latin pianos. if you like quentin harris, jon cutler, the soulfuric sound, and jask, then this might be your speed.

the master of simplicity is back on with his second release on karmarouge. the story behind the titel goes like this. saint patrick was a christian missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of ireland. he banished the snakes from ireland and some irish people say that human snakes replaced them. sian asks himself if we might need a new modern saint patrick? the a-side track >stegosaurus< is a creepy, slow builder and melodic track, somewhat like a placid dinosaur. >merman< on the b-side is a more melancholic, angelic theme with hidden melodic patterns and messages. born in dublin ireland, raised gypsy style in southern spain, sian, aka graham goodwin has worked in music since the age of 17. now 28, he has produced and released electronic music consistently and has worked with diverse artists during this period. his productions are arty, unique and childlike simple, he works with sounds as blocks of bright colour and makes music for both the club and mind simultaniously. sian believes that electronic music is more than just an interesting theory, it shapes lives and his dj sets are well known for sweat, eclecticism and positive energy

after his productions for labels like dial, num, traum, ladomat or liebe*detail denis karimani aka remute surprises the audience again with another unconventional masterpiece. between the essence of minimal and the deepness of detroit, >realtime island< can be regarded as the first smallville superhit. a detroitish chord sequence rises slowly up to explode but keeps its deep secret. karimani s best friend and ravemate ndru (liebe*detail, perspectiv) translates the unique musical language of the original into minimal- his remix got the kind of hypnotic bassline you might miss in the minimal world so often.. the 12inch ends with a classical karimani pumping deeptechno tune straight in your feet... played by anja schneider, mike shannon...

hit alert !! the debut dance single by the proxy aka yevgeny aka >the russian kid<. 3 tracks of nouveau pub-techno in a moscow stylee. already being championed by djs as shockingly diverse as erol alkan and 2manydjs, the lead single destroy might be the best russian song ever made. lada than a bomb !!!

on the second release from its remix imprint vr, berlins vakant label comes with the goods, turning out what might be its most far-out release to date - and at the same time, its most punishingly effective. going head to head, glasgows alex smoke and paris man tolga fidan tackle each others tracks, twisting up knotty rhythms and gauzy electro-acoustic sounds into a battered syntax that expresses one thing, move !!

the synkope ep ushers in a new sound for mathias, one that is more full and less percussive than before yet also one that will not leave previous fans in the dark. taking his cue from his keen knowledge of the worlds dance floors, kaden translates this awareness straight on to vinyl without losing sight of todays complex sequences and sound structures. with the flood of faceless releases that threaten to sink even the most discerning record buyer theses days. there is a growing sense of urgency to make records that will remain classic and listenable even 10 years into the future. if you dont mind us saying we think this might just be one

remember the infamous scene from the movie deliverance? the one with the retarded kid and the grown man going all out in a play off, an acoustic guitar vs a banjo… anyway, lindstrom finally got around to play & record the banjo he bought in nyc last summer. it takes time to practise & learn to play the banjo. lindstrom needed a year to make the simple banjo-lick used on >the contemporary fix<, the 9th feedelity release. you might think the use of banjo, autoharp & clavinet together with acid squiggles on top of live disco-drums is a most unusual combination? well, here s the soundtrack to deliverance 2006

toni vokado stands for dry but inventive plocker-rave. on his upcoming 12inch >um die eigene achse< eav018 vokado continues with his pithy style of his previous releases on electric avenue recordings and brings it to another level. at first you might think it is minimal techno but than his playfulness and sound collages pushes forward and you realise: this is strong and rave compatible - an audioplay at home a call to dance in the clubs: microscope rhythm

mobilee is on >back to back< mission and presents the first release of a four-piece vinyl remix series including eight exclusive in-house remixes. a - sebo k reworks gummihz s >isolate<. he just took the essential >rave signal<, modified the groove and added some spezial effects. the most reduced sebo k production so far. aa - prosumer gets the upper hand on sebo k, recreating the latter s >moved (featuring prosumer)< in prosumer s own image. and you thought dude was just a singer - think again. >think again< might as well be mobilee s motto, for the way the label lays bare the skeleton of rave music—and the way it amplifies berlin minimal into something throbbing, overwhelming, all-consuming. watch your back: mobilee is coming up from behind, and back to back is the rearview image of the shape of rave to come

housemeister is back with his first 12inch on bnr you might already know him from his great records on bpitch control ?! he has finished his first album ever and >need kick< & >need retro< are the first singles out of it and for sure monster on the dancefloor! housemeister is well know for his analog sounds and his banging live sets & freestyle sessions! in these days it s hard to find producers who do not use digital & plug ins etc. housemeister shows us how to make great rokkin tracks without the new digital world. fist up for housemeister!

jacking 4 tracker with tracks in a solid boomptyboom style by john larner slater hogan pat nice and more a must have you jackers

a really firework! music made with heart and soul. beautiful, this deep brocksieper mix - its flow is one of the finest. a2 - a romantic lump, who will reel filled flews in, after having thrown his seductive bait on the >love fish sea bottom< of the club landscapes. and yet, there is someone else!? someone else, who is mixing the vocals in the finest manner on b1 - as always - an airy inciting and pushing mixture for a t_time of doozy. use your arms, marcel knopf! if your legs might be a bit weak after the first three mixes, you can swing your arms right now into the air and sink into a rocking broken beat after a gap that hardly can be reached

the sentinel invites you further into his dark and menacing psyche. the deepness and electrotronic funk is bounceing right out of your speakers infectious percussion, dark, funk filled sounds playing on your paranoia. one of the killer tracks on this records is wrong time which gets straight into some electro funk bass with warm eery synths and mysterious lyrics and a deep space musical atmosphere. you might very well get lost in this one. get down and get real low and engross yourself in the thick funk and idiosyncratic german vocal from down under. great release on this cool label..

>method to madness< kicks like a mule from second one with oldschool handclapping beats and rattling percussion and when those strings set in, the sensitive ones should better protect their behind, cause they announce the sledgehammer bassline - and all this is only the beginning of a crazy, twisting and turning wildpitch ride. for >paddy system< chris carrier is on the controls solo and will have you shake your money maker with a slightly latinesque b-boy style beat - somethin that you might expect from kenny dope - but then adds a these chugging, whipping synth chords for a good tech-house spank

you might have an impression of great familarity with the tracks on this release. the illusion of having already experienced and heard the tracks actually being experienced for the first time. so have fun.

directly entry no1 buzz chart , essential selection played by pete tong/judge jules 'massive tune' in typical french fashion, 'need u' is based around a large sample. you might recognise the song and its characteristic hippy-ish gospel chorus. with clearance still under way, lets just say that this very famous female singer was at the time produced by, the one and only, giorgio moroder.top fresh & catchy french touch house tune, massive

this is the first release on boysnoize with an unbelievably energetic mix of banging electro, techno and house. you might already know the boys from their spanking two releases on gigolo and anthony rothers datapunk. theses boys defenitely makes some noize!!

the second release is even more trippy than the first maschine.. dark & weired minimal deep tech with an electroacidhouse track completed this stuff you might have heard from oliver lieb before.

c-rock aka dubstar is responsible for the original version of 'take my hand (àpromised land)'. powered by rollings beats and a hypnotic acid licks it mutates into a mighty dancefloor weapon. cheekily the ambo guys drop most of the acid references, yet delight us with oldschool percussions and nuff twisted quirkness. if you arent already there since 1988 this one might lead you to the promised land!

the popular house remixer matt schartz aka the drill releases his own euro-phoric-electro-disco-house crossover anthem. a bouncy electro bassline is complemented by escalating tear-jerking synths, the kind of blissful little thing you might listen to when speeding in a ferrari through palm tree-lined boulevards in the south of france. massive support by boris dlugosch, markus gardeweg, tom novy, martin heyder, da hool

a side is a very funky deep- house track with some nyc disco old school influences. reckless nightsfollows this path, but some more techy elements shine through and fully reach the surface on the third track which might surprise the bgb fans and rounds up a very interesting and well produced ep

4 track minimal tech offering by croatian sound scientists luka & lazo , stuff like that i frizzling sound in 'mf name' that might give you the not very pleasant impression that your brain is being fried or later in the track were it sounds like the recordplayers needle is mistreated with a rubber sole

you might have checked the clubhit 'disco clown' together with munk on their current album aperitivo - it's from london based midnight mike (flesh rec.), now you get 2 new songs: 'bring me to my senses' & 'hot in the kitchen' + zongamin remix (aka ewan pearson & midnight mike)

cool freestyled traxx ...electro electronica

once more limited stock !! // naughty and highly limited! this bad boy might come out eventually on credence or defected or possibly some other major label, the track is as bugged out and funky as sneaks experience and absolutely explodes with energy. an anthem for a new generation.

drone and neo classic

robag wruhme 2019 album !

the new album from danish electronic trio system is a special kind of collaborative effort with piano magician nils frahm. his purpose-built improvisations on synth, organ and piano served as source material for the members of system (thomas knak, anders remmer & jesper skaaning), who merged his warm acoustic tones with their minimalist digitalism and set out to translate their distinctive clicks ÕnÕ cuts electronics into vivid soundscapes. over two years in the making, the resulting nine tracks are as sonically intriguing as they are touching. ranging from the mellow bliss of the title track to echoes of 90Õs and 2000Õs electronica and ambient sequences frequented by mesmerizing movements and sounds. the blending of piano and digital tones and noises into emotive pieces might instantly recall the work of alva noto and ryuichi sakamoto, though system and frahm come to quite different results.
