mike shannon steps up to the cityfox ltd plate and squeezes the jack juice on his latest offering for cityfox ltd entitled foxology. its a 3 track session of deep jazzy basslines and smooth cuts. we start things off with >foxology feat. flowing<, a twistedly deep smoothy of a house cut with shannons signature shuffle groove and warped dynamic basses featuring some wicked blues harp action from amsterdams flowing. foxologys b-side is home to >foxwell< and >zukunftstrasse<, the former being a rather hot number bubbling with bouncing bass, whereas >zukunftstrasse< is even more laid back and down tempo, while still playing your mind with it’s sonic insight to the distant future.

the mike series returns as a split 12 i nch this go round, featuring mike simonetti (italians do it better) and chris burns. the two have been collaborating and producing music under the ingenious name m+c for a few years now, and chris also worked as engineer on mikes debut record capricorn rising last year. we are hoping to see some sort of m+c release out soon on italians do it better, but in the meantime this will have to suffice. the two each split a side of a record this time, delivering no holds barred, peak hour tracks in the handy house bootleg format. edition of 300 copies. no digital. punks is hippies

breaking-through in berlin is not an easy task and that is exactly what mike wall, the latest artist to join the hidden recordings family is doing with a remarkable release showcasing the versatility, artistry and pure soul that goes into making music for the big room. mikes talent first came to hidden recordings with his darker, jacking rendition of 014hr m.a.d.a. + planktons >antiz<. additionally, his inventive, high octane jams have found themselves on such high profile labels such as sleaze, on and on and pluseins. additional firepower enlisted for thre release comes two men who we deeply admire. the first is somebody who is making us re-think the boundaries of techno, the elusive and mysterious xhin from stroboscopic artefacts and clr. the second comes from splatter, with his evil and dark chugging glitched out trade-mark sound that will tear up danceflooors and leave you shaking in all the right ways. the combination of the originals and remixes will also be getting the deluxe vinyl treatment that followers of hidden recordings have come to expect – watch for it in february. we are proud and excited to share this one with you as we believe mike wall is a diamond in the rough. use these wisely to get your dance-floor moving and feedback is encouraged and welcome.

february sure isnt the month to laze around when the new rennbahn baby is chasing for your dance. the crotalus ep starts as if there was a crotalus right behind you! the original mix delivers a powerful basedrum and deep synths. the snake sounds, vocal snippets and the use of reverb and delay build a wide and huge atmosphere which leads us directly out of the reality into the heart of the jungle where youd love nothing better than to stay forever. watch out - you shouldnt stop dancing unless you want to get bitten by a snake! the marco fender remix on the flip side takes us out of the jungle into the club. an impulsive beat highlighted by a sub baseline comes to a nice replaying synth melody. here the vocal snippets are not applied to fulfill the song with a deep atmosphere but to complete the hypnotic rhythm of it. watch out - the snake still follows you at every turn! finally miyagis remix comforts us with safety - marching towards the end, it seems like we got rid of the snake. now we can wholeheartedly lose ourselves in very deep synths, floating hi-hats and a mystical and tempting melody. as if this wasnt enough the outstanding beat wont let you take a break and forces you to keep on dancing

in just three years, berlin based artist dehnert has gone from unknown talent to underground hero with his very own >raw techno< sound making waves on labels like his own imprint fachwerk and now delsin, where he finds himself at home amongst the future music of talented cohorts redshape, a made up sound, delta funktionen and more. this ep is an introduction to his upcoming album framework - an uncompromising album made up of pure techno tracks of the sort youd expect to hear on the dancefloors of places like berghain or tresor. they go from pulsing and classic sounding to skipping and glitchy, through greyed-out and sandy via swinging and syncopated but always with a sense of restraint and control whether they are abstract, apocalyptic, atmospheric or whatever else. although his tracks are undeniably functional, at the same time, they are neither nondescript nor forgettable: somehow, through masterful sound designs and an accomplished knack for blending real tension and atmosphere with his obvious basic channel and berghain influences, mike dehnert manages to lock you into whatever mood takes his fancy with apparent ease.
