bodo elsel has only done a handful of records and the two that i have known and loved since 1998 were put out on playhouse, the excellent housey sister-label of mighty klang elektronik. one track in particular, discount baby, has always stood out in my mind as a high water mark in the sacred art of groove (you may have heard of it). punchy accents and resonant bass layered with trippy vocal loops, its dubby acid house of the highest order, made by a mysterious german lego-master, who the a&r team of mike mind and thomas st shindig managed to coax back into activity.
it only took bodo a year to answer mr. minds email, but he eventually delivered three amazing tracks... >haustier< revitalizes piano house. >mai< is incredible, and >mein haus< is one of the top few all-time expressions of the greatness/meaning of germany, putting it in the fine company of the autobahn, sven väth and christmas-market schwein. nice wibes!!
the icing on the cake was that bodo made it very clear he wanted no part in royalties or any of that business crap... he just wanted 42 copies of the record. yes. 42.
we were so inspired by all of this that we decided to put this record out in a different way for us that just feels right this time.... if you want to find out just how good the >mein haus ep< is, you will have no choice but to buy a copy of the 12 inch because this one is a vinyl exclusive!

the mighty jtv is back with another suprerb coldplay remix this time its reign of love with 2 mixes and dj tools to use and abuse.

like his dj status, as a producer, jesse rose is a guarantee. world-renowned for the sound he created with long term mentor and dubsided label boss dave switch taylor, jesse is now the guy you turn to when you want a dancefloor remix, lending his services to the likes of hot chip, simian mobile disco, underworld to name but a few. after the phenomenal success of jesse’s mighty debut album, >what do you do if you dont< comes the third single from the album – >well now<. if you havent already heard the hooky >well now< in the clubs or on the airwaves, where have you been? the original mix is exactly what you would expect of jesse with its cheeky vocal and typical comedy factor make this mix so catchy its hard not to recognise it after the first play. flipping over savage skulls add their remix treatment to the track. these talented swedish boys who already have a dubsided original release under their belt and a killer recent remix for major lazer, give >well now< their bass and bumps whilst putting a kaleidoscope of funk back into electro.

stunning hypnotic minimal techhouse, the mighty mau5 is back hot on the heels of his massive smash ghosts & stuff we have 3 tracks taken from the at play vol 2 the first time on vinyl for these monster cuts

having become a firm favourite of some of the best djs on the planet, delusions makes a welcome return with dog05 from the mighty 6th borough project. these guys can seemingly do no wrong at the moment putting out huge release after huge release on their instruments of rapture label as well as numerous remixes, edits and original productions on the likes of jisco music, phonica, deep freeze and delusions. how can i show you is a masterclass in slo-mo looped up deep disco house that will appeal to fans of mark e and of course the revenge. a hypnotic and grinding groove is what this little number is all about so play it loud and keep it slow. on the flip side we have soultourist (from our fave house label drumpoet) remixing miss world into a deep and driving filtered throbber with all the warmth and soul youd expect from these swiss master craftsmen. on aa2 youll find the ooft! remix of miss world going in a slightly darker, electronic direction introducing dubbed out synth stabs and a subsonic bottom end thatll warm your cockles

new signing for undertones is the mighty kink who hails from bulgaria dj support from the likes of laurent garnier, carl craig, richie hawtin, osunlade, steve bug, dj sneak, jesse rose.

after their hello kool nice release (quintessentials 02), the jagged boys are back with another fab production. the main track langenthal is, well, we dare to say tech house with a disco feel and ready for club use! new york pumps it up even more and is another proof that jagged are well diverse. after quarion and harry swinger on qe 02, its now up to the mighty brothers vibe to do the remix - he delivered a monster mix! and let all of us know about his house and our house!

autodiscotheque return with a mighty release by one of their favourite maverick producers and djs danny berman. with releases on tirk, untracked, deep freeze and society, danny has made a big impression with his mixed up approach to production and djing. from the wonky house of the hot coins material released on tirk, to the more classically detroit outings under his red rackem moniker, danny is a music lover with an ear for the not so obvious and the left of centre musical territory.on this release which features both his musical personas simultaneously, the idea was to truly represent the difference between the red rackem and hot coins sounds on a single release, and to recreate an intense peak time feeling, but to do it from these two completely different scenes.place for me is detroit inspired heads down, cut up motown soul business, which pays homage to one of dannys favourite producers moodymann, and fits perfectly into that crossover space between slo-mo house and disco. chinese electro on the flip however, references that authentic early 80s new wave electro sound, and is influenced by yellow magic orchestra and recordings from new wave radio shows like belgiums liaison dangereuses

rogue state ? logical regression - another meaty slab of rogues own niche influenced dubstep style, this track was influenced by the mighty ltj bukem. rogue is on top form here with depth and emotion created through the synthy intro whilst the tearout drop will get anyone moving. twisted ? infect - hailing from germany and part of the dutty dubs crew, twisted is starting to make real impact on the international scene. the super slick mixdown is what first attracted us to him but it was this phenomenally heavy weight track that made us decide to release twisted. bass face time!

fantastic second relese on christian peaks disturbulence label, featuring a superb track by himself plus belting tracks from miche & mirzihno, strong newcomer hristian stojanowski and the mighty spiros kaloumenos!

sneakerz new imprint! thick dirty and massive electro switch & sidney samson styled house!

this is the one you ve all been waiting for, the bad science ep from the mighty rustie. amazingly enough for an artist who has such an huge impact over the last year this is only his second full ep. i could go for on days about how good it is but best not eh. it all kicks off with the fractured hip-hop weirdness of tar and then swiftly moves into the massive bad science. we ve been seeing folk go crazy to bad science and rightly so, its an anthem and has getting properly hammered by kode9 and mark pritchard to name a few. its then on to the out there 8 bit bleepage of shadow enter. the b-side is now dedicated to the now legendary zig-zag and wireblock have really done themselves pround with this one by going straight to one of rustie s hero s the legendary henrich mueller (dopperleffekt, drexciya, arpanet etc) to add his own electro-physics sound to the aquatic mentalness of the original track. it comes to an end with zig zag (reprise), now the original was daft enough but this just to pushes it even further into new realms of madness. buy, buy, buy!

alan fitzpatrick is a producer who has been making everyone sit up and take notice since his first appearance on the scene a little over 18months ago. with various outings on fergies excentric music label, and his own 8 sided dice imprint and forthcoming records on the seminal bedrock records, alan is without doubt the rising star of dance music with his cross genre sound. and if that wasnt enough here is the first outing on adam beyers mighty drumcode! adam, who is unbelievably fussy and purveyor of nothing but absolute quality, snapped up this two tracker instantly – a testament to alans awesome sound. both >statix< and >rubix< are earthshakingly good. both hard and funky, but at the same time extremely versatile, and will be excellent mixing tools and big records in ther own right. the kind of records that never leave the box. get it..

the mighty cloaks return with their third offering so far on wax and the second deviant emission drawn from their groundbreaking new cd album release >versus grain<. they destroyed an expectant audience with dubplates of these tracks at the recent launch party in the infamous corsica studios venue in elephant & castle london - cloaks + funktion one pa x fresh wax = guaranteed devastation. generously cut at transition with ample bass pressure, this band marks a development we should have seen coming - where ministry fans finally learn some moves and the urban music posse get into some serious shredding.

big with luciano, peace division, agnes, matt tolfrey, lauhaus, martinez, geddes, anthony collins, lee burridge, mark henning, miss jools,... more supa hot tech house action from some super hot romanian producers. pagal, mihai popoviciu & jay bliss have appeared on various labels and in various combinations over the course of the year, producing eps for the likes of diynamic, immigrant and bang bang (as hermannstadt collective). so, we re mighty proud to feature a couple of their productions on our lil label. >eucalipt< brings the phattness with a deep groove, plenty of percussive elements and a twinkling melody whilst flip side track >melange< delivers more of a b-line focused stomper. we hope you like....

the mighty soundmen on wax unleash 3 of their latest & greatest projects showcasing new talent to the label as well as some familiar names & faces. the wipe the needle boys kick things off with their collab with vocalist eddie stockley pure soulful smoothness with live guitars and classy drums. fresh from their outing on louie vegas vega imprint, djn project make their sow debut with æbeautiful people. instant hooky melody and as ever with the label a vocal to just die for, makes for the perfect combination. finally, defected artist dolls combers provides the killer remix on tyron dixons æbring it back bursting with hooky, catchy piano riffs, big vocals, and a steady moody bass. a major ep from an institutional label.

tuccillo joins delusions of grandeur for their forth release turning in two tracks of funk injected house that will work wonders on the dancefloor. hot from his releases with willie graff on freerange, circus company, drumpoet and liebe*detail, the ibizan producer delivers once again with a release that will put him firmly on the hype list for 2009. panorama is one of those tracks that will be played by djs right across the board and creates a killer vibe whether its at its original tempo of 118 or pitched right up for peak time action. the rolling beats, looped up guitar hit and siren synths create a mighty track that treads a familiar path but does so in such style that we challenge you not to get bitten by the bug. taken things in an altogether deeper, darker and more twisted direction with have switzerlands finest kalabrese taking care of the remix. his very capable hands and ears, not to mention vocal skills, have resulted in a warped, acidified excursion full of bottom end pressure and brilliant percussion. a real trip this one. finally, on the flip, we have tuccillos this time, taking things back into house territory with a funk filled workout that utilizes a pitched down vocal and horn stabs to great effect. that doesnt sound great on paper we know, but give it a listen cos it works a treat.

the sunshine coast?s resident electronic maverick, milanese is back on with his heavy-as-fuck 2nd album on the mighty planet mu, and a snapshot of the continued evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise uk bass music.
having pioneered the heavy, dark and twisted experimental dubstep sound with his previous releases on warp, combat, mg77, arcola, seed and planet mu, this new lp sees a shift towards collaboration. with strong vocal artists like ben sharpa (pioneer unit, cape town) and rqm (al haca, vienna), who deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style, melded perfectly with milanese?s own fat swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude and odd, mangled samples.
melting dubstep?s earth shaking frequencies with hip hop & grime vocals and hard edged timbaland influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop nor idm - you could call it a mashup of all these, but it?s more accurate to say it sounds like streetwise bass music for the year 3000. incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeping the funk, fury and bounce 100% on lockdown.
challenging, menacing and forward thinking like his previous releases 1up on warp (2004) and extend on planet mu (2006), its also 31 year old steve milanese?s most dancefloor record yet.

nice price deal !!! legendary dj and producer chris coco unleashes the first single from his forthcoming album. summertime is a blissfully gorgeous piece of music with a very cool remix package including mixes from lemon popsicle, justin harris, mighty mouse and afterlife. this is definitely a release that oozes summertime...

originally released on analytic trail at the end of 2007, c est la vie (and b-side oasi) marked the debut for joseph capriati. since this time capriati has gone on to become one of the hottest names in techno with releases on the scenes labels including drumcode, clr and sci and tec.
to celebrate the success of this favourite son of naples, analytic trail are releasing a staggering set of remixes of two tracks from joseph s debut release on the label from the best names in techno: umek, ramon tapia, xpansul, ortin cam, hauswerks, gaz james and abnormal boyz
the mighty umek gets first crack at c est la vie, turning in a typically straight to the point remake, dropping the distinctive percussive hook over a jackhammer groove. ortin cam (drumcode) adopts a more minimal approach with firing snare rolls and a distorted, buzzing cutup loop of the original hook. rounding out the first part of this package is xpansul (ovum, soma) with a dramatic, stringladen take that bounces along on a tough but funky bassline.

d.a.v.e the drummer s mighty hydraulix label licks into the new year with 3 tracks from croatian rising techno stars miche and mirzinho. relatively new on the scene these two brothers have already rocked out tough and funky techno tracks on much loved labels adult, ying yang and pornographic. if you like us you are sick of hearing badly produced techno tracks with over the top effects and nonsensical breakdonws. and you like to go nuts on the dancefloor instead of standing in the corner scratching your chin. then this is for you!

this summer beni will continue to reign the dancefloor supreme with a new monster slab of black plastic, maximus featuring vocals from the mighty sam sparro. who put the fun in acid-funk you ask? the answer is: beni did. a low-slung exercise in dark and dirty arpeggiated sleaze, maximus marries a sparse bubble-groove that creeps up behind you and licks your ear with a very purple vocal performance by sparro to devastating effect. the resulting track is something akin to kiss-era prince and friends dirty dancing at a toga party while ancient rome burns down around them. on the flipside beni and nicky night time give maximus a night-time re-dub rubdown, taking the track away from the creepy funk freak and towards a straighter slammer jammer, favouring blatant dancefloor manipulation over the subtle and the sexy. also featured (and included on the next kitsune maison 7 installment) is fringe element, which encapsulates the feeling of surfing on a shooting star like never before, with beni sitting proudly at the controls. an electronic orchestra of descending basslines, vocoder snippets, bleeps and acid squeaks, fringe element caps off another compelling chapter in benis lifelong voyage through dance. after the cover of his first ep my love sees you made by geneviÞve gauckler, his new 12 is illustrated by french artist andre.

the mighty beat assassins return on mofo this time with a tidy collab with vocalist sweetie irie, and with a tip top remix from the one they call ac slater this release will put mofo back where it belongs, at the top of the pile!!

delusions hits the spot once again with number 3, this time highlighting the production skills of a certain zepp001. the seattle based disco obsessive has been leaking out high class edits over the years under a dizzying array of deliberately forgettable pseudonyms but feels the time is right to push his original tracks. who better then to make these beauties available for you discerning djs than delusions of grandeur. dont sleep is a dark, brooding groover with throbbing bass, cute cuica fills and intense strings that lalo schifrin would be proud of. a real heavy mood setter and as good an introduction to the sound of zepp001 as you re likely to need. next up we have the mighty revenge in for remix duties on dont sleep. the much hyped master of the edit keeps the vibe of the original well and truly in place but opts for an even more stripped back approach leaving all the space for crisp claps, slowly building strings and bowel wobbling bass. flip over for giraffe, a more upbeat affair where the filtered keys come to the fore and things steer in a hyped up deep house direction. show your luv...

with the summer season on the horizon, the mighty cr2 unleash their flagship compilation for the year, live & direct presents ibiza 2009. loads of exclusives grace both discs, and feature producers & remixers such as harry choo choo romero, lee cabrera, chuckie, mark brown, dj sneak & many more. here we have the second of 2 vinyl samplers day & night taking some of the best moments from the cds. night focus on new talent with tracks from prok & fitch / lex da funk & danny dove alongside hollands chuckie. another killer ep from cr2 limited as ever!!

after a break from solo production for his own blueprint label, during which he released a well-received album ( the dash ) on the mighty tresor, and a brace of singles as o/v/r (with regis), james ruskin returns to home-ground with a cracking two-tracker. sabre is a classic ruskin production, booming bottom-end and a mind-mangling filtered fx loop swirling around over the top. deceptively simple production that is definitely greater than the sum of its parts, as all good techno should be. on the flipside, massk follows a similar template, with only 5 or 6 parts throughout the whole track, but the subtle changes in arrangement lure the listener in to the deep and dark world of mr ruskin...

loved by jennifer cardini, dubfire, chris liebing, mihalis safras, dj hell, florian meindl!! jakob hilden is one half of format b and part of the project red robin & jakob hilden which was very successful on trapez ltd. jakobs new solo project involves his vocals and band skills from the past which he has fusedhere with the production skills he has earned from format b productions. what we get with the a side track >glamouflage< is a cool and mighty organ grinder with vocals by jakob hilden using catchy lyrics. less minimal and a big hit. the b-side is called >ground n pound< and moves like a rattlesnake with its strong driving percussion.

spaced out mixes by mighty mouse, morris and mckie and soft rocks!! cant afford to miss this...

after a period of silence the mighty adult records returns with a brand new release by two familiar faces to the label. back in 2005 veztax did the very first adult release together with marko nastic. a first release that was the start of the adult success story! now he s back with the this weekend track which gets the remix treatment by techno don paul mac! miche made name for himself as one part of the infamous miche & mirzinho duo who got picked up by the adult crew quite early in their carreers. now miche is back on the solo tip with two fierce and essential techno tunes!

nice price deal !!! one of the worlds most recognizable names, 3 times a subliminal artist, jason has gained main stage status with his worldwide hit i just cant get enough as herd & fitz. after smashing the space terrace and pacha in ibiza for the past three years, and making it to the final five at the house music awards for best new producer alongside steve angello & axwell. æmy girl sees jason team up with flashlight & features jason heera on the æmartin solveig style vocals, remixes come from the mighty mobin masters & liverpools own whelan & di scala

nice price deal !!! this second outing in the series of special remix 12s from lee perrys the mighty upsetter album finds tony moody boyz thorpe back at the controls, and this time hes brought his full kit of soundsystem tools along to the job. rocking the spot on an uptempo steppers rhythm, his fired up take on international broadcaster is a tight sprung burst of bogle energy, laying righteous claim to the ground where dancehalls brash excitement meets dubsteps plunging bass dynamics. awash with selectah sounds and mile long reverb delays swirling around a monster sub-bass undertow, an insistent funkin for jamaica beat drives the ride while a slick sing jay hook from lsk rotates to habit forming effect. with the added attraction of mr scratch and mr manuva doubling on abstract deejay instructions ? adjust your face... adjust your waist - the propulsive five minute sunsplash of international broadcaster will kick up dust in every yard where they do the reggae clap. no vocal version excursion on the backside ups the needles to red on the dubwise meter for extra soundboy satisfaction.

ultimate remixpressure from the mighty emperor machine & surkin, plus a super stripped down house interpretation from systematic head honcho marc romboy.
