ltd to 250 copies... phat fresh view of detroit minimal techno sound !! docile is proud to present its 17th release to you. docile brings a fresh view of the detroit sound as it strays into territory less traveled. a 4/4 minimalist attitude binds these offbeat works and defines the docile method. our hand extends through sound production to the actual pressing of the vinyl, to ensure a product that is unique in quality. smooth stabs, 2 bit chords, and primitive, rumbling bass through tics and tweaks awakes the knuckle-headed syth-bop shuffle.

already charted by jeff milligan and remute. further plays by laurent garnier, satoshi tomiie, anthony collins, shindoe, david squillace, mathias kaden, bret johnson, franco cinelli, violett and a lot more... close on the heels of shu okuyamas genius first release on berlin/lausanne based avant-garde label minimood, mark henning and treplec bring you the weiter remixes. while mark henning delivers a devastating remix of punkt which is as contemporary as it is timeless, trepelc and minimood together manage to superbly redefine the groove of minimal once again!

a deep mixture of raw funk, oldschool house, bass, more bass and some kind of a dubstep vibe... the title track pressin on goes straight on dirty bassline moves crossed by dedicated trumpet sounds while the second cluster funk got tricky clap programming and lives up to ones name. on the flip humongous and driftwood are not less funkier but both are with some kind of detroit house appeal and impressive minimal ruffness...

with the new release plastic city brings you some really modern stuff, but also some classic house style infected tunes. dkma presents andrastea is back on plastic city and shows us the meaning of soulful house tunes and while its reduced we would never call it minimal, no, it is simply intense. dana kelly smashes the house scene for 13 years on labels like strictly rhythm, contrast, 4th floor, chug, subliminal or guidance created a classic with this is krimp on the next generation ep released on strictly rhythm in 1997 what was probably the best of the krimp series and the last one at the same time

!!!!!!strictly limited to 500 copies!!!!!! together with stefan goldmanns debut cd the transitory state, macro releases a strictly limited box set containing five 7? records holding the electroacoustic album voices of the dead. with his releases for innervisions, perlon and macro stefan goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting edge of post minimal techno and the renewal of house music. this album is a distinctively different affair though, reaching far beyond the scope of dancefloor electronics. starting a trilogy of concept albums, stefan goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electroacoustic setting. from this album turret is already renowned as the intro sequence of richie hawtins groundbreaking de9 transitions mix compilation and was also commissioned by the biblioteque nationale de france for the imeb phonoteque public collection. the artist explains: at first sight we recognise upfront elements like a melody or rhythmic pattern, which we associate with a certain piece or style of music, but there is tension between two notes, hard-to-define background information that at a closer look is found everywhere - within the music of coltrane and stravinsky, death metal and 9th century byzantine chants. if there is anything like a total, secret common ground, than its this information lurking in the background. these are the voices of the dead, the heritage of an endless line of ancestors brought forward through the centuries. i tried to make these elements audible as clearly as possible. really like this weird space ambient one. ive put katorga and izo already into my final scratch computer and have been playing them! (richie hawtin on voices of the dead) record release event at berghain / panorama bar berlin on september 4th, 2008, feat. ricardo villalobos, mika vainio (pan sonic) and ulrich schnauss (tbc).

the fourth release on the serialism imprint comes from itzo, a london duo consisting of one english (half of guy noir on resopal) and one spanish. the result is a brilliant mix of techno influenced minimal funk, stylish, cool and always groovy. the whole ep has a very refined sound that offers some delightful melodies all the way through, combined with big fat rhythmic structures that just force you to dance all the time. a delightful and original ep

excellent hypnotic minimal tech bomb!!! supported by: ricardo villalobos, nick curly, kabale und liebe, 2000 and one, shinedoe, bart skils… limited edition with full cover artwork !!!

these hand-picked tracks are now available on a dj-friendly 2-sided-4-tracks-vinyl-ep and let me tell you, they are well worth the extra investment. the first of the bunch starts off with big man lexys fancy girl, an ever-growing minimal techy peak-time-pusher with a hushed vocal-sample, some anaologue signal sounds and a futuristic and pumping beat. add a great distorted melody to this on the breakdown and the dancefloor will thank you for putting this on: they will go mental! after this introduction, its the newcomers mickey monzza & joseph discos turn with their equally stimulating track lonely. this is a great modern piece of pumping dub techno with a straight-forward attitude. the hi-hats on this tune are mesmerezing, the clappy snares and sirens perfectly placed and the subtle dubby and groovy melody an ideal antithesis to this hectically moving tune. simply nice! but hold on, there is more to come. on the flip there is hamburgs house impressario h.o.s.h. with his track ben johnson and whether this title is a reference to the legendary sportsman or not, its a pretty record-worthy track: wonderful little stabs and vocal sounds and a bassline so warm and groovy it makes your heart melt. then when the breakdown hits you with its long and winding signal sound, the dancefloor will already be bathing in a floor filled with sweet happiness. this is truely delicious! the two newcomers and residents at hive club in zurich animaltrainer have the honour to finish off this ep with their oily tech-house-anthem talkshow, a superb main-floor-peak-time-melody-affair.

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! cynosure is proud to present the debut ep of one of italys finest house and techno djs, andrea fiorito. hailing from the southern city of bari, andrea brings new warmth to the otherwise ice cold italian house sound and delivers a timeless deep house original. things commence on >moderato mistico< with a subtle tribute to a close a friend that has some serious issues with partying called >boti world<. a stripped down minimal house groove with several different monster bass hooks. a killer bumping, grinding, walking bassline that heats the floor with every change up. but as we all know this is not enough to really push things to the limit, so andrea answers the call and brings the furry with givan on the sax. imagine that moment where things in your night boil over the edge and you begin to loose control. thats when givans post punk style sax attack begins to push things past the threshold of insanity. next we have the lovely >betty loop< feat the sensual voice amelia saul. a layer of percussion a la spring reverb set the pace leading into some piano chords and a giant bass hook that make up the foundation of the groove, laying the sonic rose pedals down for amelias presence to be heard. with a voice sweeter than honey and some twisted lyrics, she creates a sexy yet warped feeling in this track. and of course if the vocals were too much, you can play the dub version >betty goes to gio< and mix your heart out. with >moderato mystico< andrea fiorito lights the deep minmal house flame for cynosure closing the summer releases in style by producing heat that only a southern italian can. howie mangel

ultraphat deep minimal dubby techno at it best... dettmann sounds like basic channel or early berlin - detroit connection

side a of the 4th record from monotone leidenschaft provides furore. the producer newbee ash cawlin proofs once more his potential with this track. with wondrous slight devices and a very long breath he is able to design a timeless minimal techno sound, which reminds a little on g-man. with the track leda he provides a genuine hit potential more than the presence as a dj-tool. jack else aka subtronic produced a really succeeded and modern track, which matches perfectly between functionality, friskiness and brightness as well as between techno and minimal sound. the blowing groove is always multi-layered and a little capricious. in spite of that it radiates a defeating naturalness, which is slowly burning into the brain. the new track provides the typical heavy, pushing beats, which let you step on the same position. along with it there are endless traces of crackling and rustling

holy ghost! return for a brief hello while they complete their debut album and prep a new single for dfa. kindred spirits and label mates mock & toof hold up their end of the remix trade with not one but two remixes, both quite different interpretations a playful stab at minimal techno and a psychedelic disco funk.

played by c-rock, d julz, gregor tresher, 2000 and one, minilogue and many more… like no other german producer, hannover-born martin buttrich has been decisively influencing the sound aesthetics of electronic dance music since the middle of the nineties. having been more in the background for most of the time while working for and with timo maas and loco dice among others, his benchmark releases for carl craigs label planet e or poker flat have also spotlighted his original name in the public. buttrichs second ep for cocoon couldnt prove better his prediction that in 2008, minimal techno will be containing more warm and melodic components. strangely familiar but always surprising, again and i lost my wallet provide us with bassprone reduction somewhere in between techno and house, and harmony bits that remind of caribbean calypso sounds provide the feeling of the approaching summer which makes both tracks perfect for the final of the open air season 2008. at least, buttrich will be an integral part of the season closing between ibiza main river and spree.

second release from lars wickinger on tanzbar musik and he comes again with great forward thinking techhouse to minimal techno two tracker with support from like of monoroom, miss kittin, solee, martin eyerer and many more..

the latest release on rising trax is this cheeky little ep from max vangeli. three top draw tracks on show here. >crazed< starts simple yet effective and builds slowly into a big distorted guitar hook before dropping back into a very militant rhythm. >k.e.j.i< is a stripped down prog house number with a wicked groove overlaid with nice stabs and a cool hook. the final track of the ep is >i rock< which begins as a minimal house track then drops with some cool squeaks, bleeps and delayed noises. the stabs turn into a big snyth riff which can only be described as large!

the 1st release of the swiss/argentinian label: dilek records, is produced by the argentinian franco bianco and his mola ep. the artists that are offering us their remixes, are the new yorker tony rohr (rompecabeza/kiddaz fm) with his more dancefloor version and the french bloody mary (toys for boys/einmaleins/sender) with her feminine and deep touch. three cuts of minimal techno house produced in a balanced and prolix way, directly focused for the dancefloor

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his superb debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year. the twelve pieces of minimal detroit sounds you are about to hear, were sent to us as one package. we were blown away and there was nothing else to do but surrender to its quality and sign them all. now join us…
