not quite one year after his exceptional album sworn, anders ilar is back with his new cellular memories ep. its four tracks could be regarded as a safe cure for uninspired strictly functional dj-sets. you probably wont find many records which are that packed with enchanting sounds and melodies, longing emotions combined with infectious solid grooves. from the dubby back to square one, over the minimal massive 808 kicks in hazard ahead and the dramatic but blissful clicky and groovy ulterior motives, to the stunning choral epic ocean sonata, cellular memories ep is a musical pleasure and another masterpiece and of course a must for fans of anders ilar.

a fantastic four track release that shows off lisas vocal skills alongside a slate of slamming remixes. lisas performance partner miguel migs turns in a bumping deep house groove that recalls classic nyc garage, while blue sixs jay denes goes the minimal soulful route with his typically sublime and subdued vocal style. other mixes include a chunky, breaky house rub from scott hardkiss and a slamming electro house dub from eric stamile.

after their successful compilation aspekt is back with their next strike. the brilliant minimal techno bomb by dan reed leaves nothing to be desired. the track >express package< on side a offers ingenious powerful techno beats, and by melodic elements gunjah creates a very individual touch with dreaming character in his remix. on side b it goes on with pushing sound, the smasher >saver package< and the djafar & uniquexx remix are just right to attract the clubber.

ltd 20009 repress !! ndatl muzuik continues with its second release power thru pt 3 from label honcho kai alce with haunting vocals from azulu phantom. this actually has been floating around the waters of atlantis after missing the cut on kai alces debut the kaizer e.p. on tracknmode in 2002. after the original has been played by some the worlds elite larry heard, theo parrish, moodymann, funmi ononaiye, carl craig & karl injex . it now resurfaces with a new redefined energy from frances mush, who approaches power thru pt 3 with a new refreshing classic minimal feel that brings new life to kais already timeless chords & production. mush teams up with saxophonist daniel brothier to give you a dub very reminiscent of the conversation. the 12 is rounded off with more 2 come which its deepness embodies its title

smaul recordings should not be suggestive of being fed by productions of acid pauli, only. however, creative times need being used and martin gretschmann - aka console - member of the notwist - alias acid pauli has collected lots of material whilst the scarce time left last year. on smaul 07 he follows his self-weaved red thread of the year. acid pauli confides more & more in a certain house rhythm paired with these melancholic layered sound-synthesis, already well known by him. astonishing things emerge out of acid paulis musical waves, sometimes even scientially croon quite a bit. nymbiotic (a) comes relaxed but holds a great melody up in the sleeve - seasonly peppered. symbiotic (b) rests bit on minimal house, but acid pauli never relied on that genre. thus, this track does not remain as it seems after three minutes. glitches and sounds break it up to evolve a new symbiosis. symbiotic becomes more timeless in spite of siren-climax peaks and an obsessive string chorus fading in the end.

laufmasche aka latscho palme presents his really hot release on plattenbau-music. eat more fluff! if you love minimal-techno- listen to this relaese!

two stunningly creative, and forward thinking tracks, encompassing the very best of house, techno and minimal, all woven together with a golden musical thread. support by anton pieete, thomas schumacher, troy pierce ,...

for the second cassius records and to carry on with the youth speed, trouble, cigarettes adventure we give you four remixes done by talented producers across europe from milano italy… reset! we met the three kids from reset! in magazinni generale while playing, their set was powerfull but also full of respect and influences from hip hop, soul and dance music in general, we finished our sets back to back and since this day love them their trouble mix could have been done by the jbs if they were still twenty something and into house music… it rocks and never stopsno use to present the music from radio slave, the big difference with a majority of other producers is that we both can recognise his tracks in a few bars only, also in the way it streches to crazy length and takes you in a trance that could have come directly from lagos in 1973 matt embrace the same philosophy we all cherish at cassius records the no boundarys way hes more than minimal, more than electro more than techno he stripped down ystc to the max and his remix played at the good time on a good system is a true chicagoan infused gem then after chaos

stunning 3 - track ep with techhouse flavoured minimal !!

jack frost is affected chicago house and detroit techno. however, we originally make out the track, its a great dj tool, thumping baseline and play out of minimal. including s2 and takayuki shiraish remixes.

two cool housy minimal slammers: this is 100% club music. we can see the tracks being played heavily by a lot of djs. relaxed but at the same time moving very rhythmically, both tracks have a modern way of getting the party going

acid 80 is back with a great elektro minimal production, as usual by the minimal duo emix & d.lewis.

excellent minimal hypnotic techhouse action !!!

the legendary pounding grooves label returns with two new dance floor stormers. the a-side the dark bells is a dark and minimal acid track with a wicked 303 line and strangely enough, some dark bells. the b-side foogar is a pounding grooves workout into extreme bass, and a wonky synth line. both tracks written and produced by lawrie dunster aka pounding grooves

mike minds only previous release, >acid machine<, has been tigas most played record since it was made. a full-time turbo employee, he has spent the past few years getting his brain around making techno, and continues to impress us with his output. his debut ep, >resonate<, is something of a departure for our label, and one we are very proud of.
its amazing to have this kind of music coming directly out of turbo hq, it nails a sound that we have always tried to cultivate. minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, and with just enough analog imperfection and warmth to it.
both of the remixers we chose represent different sounds in techno that have influenced mikes sound.
1: sophisticated italian groove*
giorgio gigli is an italian minimal-trance maestro, an incredibly modern renaissance man who is also a trained sommelier.** he is rising in the ranks and catching up in profile to his occasional production partner, donato dozzy. hopefully we will have more of his tracks on turbo soon.
2: m¦n¦m¦l
hobo is a fellow canadian best known for his excellent work on m¦nus. rumor has it, he borrowed richies quad-macro template file to finish the final version of this remix... whatever he did, his second effort came up huge, this mix is excellent.
enjoy!

kebacid is the production alias for turbo all-stars jesper dahlbäck and jori hulkkonen. their previous releases on jespers defunct blank ltd are some of the best acid tracks of the decade. this is a monster that ought to keep all the die-hard turbo fans happy.
enjoy!

also: check out part 2 with remixes by giorgio gigli & hobo (minus)

support from the worlds finest djs and artists such as pier bucci, argenis brito, butane, maetrik, gregory shiff, ambivalent, and id, barem, and noah pred.
this four-track vinyl is an absolute must have for those who love to play a chugging, driving style of minimal and techno. produced by barcelonas pablo bolivar, >looking for a shape<, pushes the depth and groove that he is known for, but in a more aggressive yet subtle way. the original doesnt allow one to breath with constant changes in percussion and amazing flow. his >phase two< track will annihilate the speakers in clubs with deep bass and is a sharp, tightly wound percussive masterpiece.
the remixes offered are by monkey brothers, who take a very different turn with the track and offer a soft vocal and is perfect for the dance-floor as it delivers a strong pop for those later in the night moments. finally, the last track on the record is hidden recordings owner deepak sharma + dieter krauses interpretation of the original. they have created a more slowed down, druggy, groovier version of the original. its not quite as smooth as the original and thats a good thing as the extra glitch is great for those who need more punch in their sets. there is something in this release for all kinds of djs.

you may not have heard so much from andre (aka &me) so far. instead of the flash and glitter associated with most of his producer colleagues, hes preferred to stay in the shadows, co-producing and ghost writing for artists like dj hell and terranova. now after putting out his first solo single on keinemusik, which was supported by all the key players (front room label boss jesse rose, luke solomon, gabriel ananda, danny tenaglia and dubfire plus many more) &me is finally ready to go public as they say. he may have taken some time to figure out his own style of blending techno and house music but now hes out theres really no escape. with a name like an attention deficit childs mantra its a wonder he stayed in so long. the on ep is an excursion into the type of techno dusted pulsating minimal house that has been so big for artists like luciano esse and arnaud le texier and which is heard on heavy rotation in berlin meccas like bar25. with a side on ever present digital squelches (reminiscent of a rolf harrris style wobble board) are laid over shakers, stripped-back beat and the familiar on vocal. its not hard to understand why tiefschwarz have been rinsing it for quite some time now as a huge afterhours groover. b side talking days, swimming in lush deep techno elements, weaves through more melodic territory but is no less infectious

>minimal is cool but in the long term a bit too unsexy!< this statement of marcel knopf that is by now quite old, shows his heart does not beat for one genre after all. after the first and more technoid single release from his album >dusty dance< monsieur knopf satisfies his longing for real house with single no.2 >crazy about<. r&b singer camaras soulful voice leaves quite an impression on this powerful beat. in >skinny bitches< marcel knopf processes insane nights: you just want to drink a beer in your favourite pub but then you meet a couple of friends and they take you to the worst disco in town. this high-energy track is uncompromising and must be played during peak time and not during warm-up sets or after-hours.

the particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when olaf hilgenfeld (berlin) met iftah gabbai (jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. the piano player hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance. only one year later the duo skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting, innovative off-partys that came up in the new techno generation again.
that was just the beginning. skinnerbox have developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly featuring vocals by elle_p) – that is not based on loops but improvised techno inspired house and minimal house. the roles in the duo are clearly settled: olaf hilgenfeld – moog synthesizer, iftah gabbai – hardware drum machines, max/msp und ableton live.
all these distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing minimal, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz, and ambient electronica futurism.
it was a desire to eternalize this play- & colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire homogeneity. thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental techno and minimal house scapes. >king of spades and marmalades< – the result – is a jazz opus wrapped into a disco suitcase. it is a reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.

>catch it< is a great minimal, techno groove monster with many detailed elements. >catch 32< is the tribal track for playing in the nighttime. michel laros remix of >catch 32< is a very lovely interpretation - summer and sun is back. >catch it< is the sound of purepuremusic! first pressing in white vinyl.

after the previous successful lemos release, quantized music hosts for the 1st time greek veteran dj/producer, thodoris triantafillou. his >suspicious behavior< release on the greek label rhythmetic earlier this year was a big success. he has also released material on souvenir and genowefa among others. thodoris is also one half of the minimal techno act novox, known for releases on labels such as ware, safari electronique, resopal and balkon, just to name a few. this ep contains two original tracks from thodoris plus two remixes from french dj / producer dj w!ld (catwash / robsoul / adult only).

nice price deal !!! after a summer of midnight studio sessions and surprise shows, da hardy boyz (aka blu jemz, unemployed lloyd, and sterryo) have finally emerged to the bright surface with their debut ep. opener here i a whispers to their formative period as a cheeky german techno - ron hardy tribute band (we re keeping the demos under wraps). dont take it too seriously... but take those arthur baker inspired beats and synths seriously. the instrumental i want you there pays homage to the cosmic disco 12inches the boyz love so much and sets up the club heater hardy time. this club mutant has been getting the hardest love at shows with its hard drums, new wave basslines and echoed lyrics. for the cherry on top, dfas runaway deliver one of their finest remixes, completely deconstructing here i am into a minimal disco hit.

atmospheric minimal tech house tracks by cozzy d (berwick street) includes remixes by aki bergen (noir music) & kabuto & koji (supernature). an unstoppable groove that will have any dancefloor going and going! dont pass on this one!!!

the freaks are on the road again, ready to refuel your empty dancing-tanks! the 15th freakshow release should seriously be on the wantlist of everybody who is searching for timeless electronic dancemusic that is aiming at the peaktime moments of the night. it is grooving like hell by having a minimalsitic approach wrapped in carefully crafted high class arrangements, hypnotically pushing & uplifting all of your senses. on the a-side, fausto messina comes up with >bafile street<, a proper microphunk stormer slightly sounding like a tribute to baby fords alltime classic track >make a move<. bafile street, is a track that is more than predestinated for being found in the peaktime moments of one of ricardo villalobos dj-sets. the flipside track is a contribution coming from 2 real techno-wizards. on the one hand jackspot, whom we know from datapunk or highgrade releases alongside his mate diego. their track called >muchen< slightly reminds us a of evergreens in techno history from mathew herbert mixed with a bit of wishmountain. all in all one must quote that if-15 is crossing the borders of techno, techhouse and minimal techno, thus making it possible to satisfy the needs of a lot of deejays playing different and versatile styles of electronic music

this 12 brings four typical deepart tracks, mastered to full quality. again they come in his typical, minimal lo-fi style, with the soul deep within. >monsoon< probably goes most abstract, a deeply funky combination of strings and beats. >n-w-2< combines the same ingredients, together with live guitar played by simon gayes. side b holds the more down-to-earth >questions< and goes spacey with >city life<. best deepart release since ages!

hamburg‘s very own stimming arrives on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut audiomatique with the wonderful ‚buxton pipes‘ ep. with releases on diynamic, freerange, terminal m and liebe*detail martin stimming‘s carreer was boosted by the underground hit „una pena“ last year and peaked in his debut album ‚refl ections‘ earlier this year. ‚buxton pipes‘, the lead track on the new ep, is a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting fi ltered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design that confi rms stimming‘s talents at working those subliminal zones. dainty, pretty and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, its a genuine slice of ultra modern micro-post-minimal- house. continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, ‚kakusei‘ arrives with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory its another stellar addition to the record. finally the skipping ‚seepferdchen‘ throws a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. super funky, ultimately reduced and sample-heavy it‘ll make those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. simply superb work from stimming on audiomatique. tracklisting: a: boxton pipes b1: kakusei b2: seepferdchen

next coup: >die faser 2< rocks. at this level cio d or is taking us to sequined planet. pailletten drives us forward with bleeping chimes underlined with heavy bass structures beams the listener to a mind-blowing place in the techno universe. not enough, with sleeparchives construction of pailletten we get the minimal techno perspective in perfection. the b site follows the esprit of >die faser< with 2 wonderful sound collagenous with deep interweaved synth structures and consistently sub-aquatic feelings. a masterpiece of a 12 inch.

barnes & heatcliff / bismarck & sdg / bismrack & the doktor mixes
