reissue of this rare italo disco track from 83. probably our last italo disco release since most of it has been bootlegged by now but we really wanted to credit giuliano saglia for this magical release. >firelight< is bouncy 80s synthesizer disco with those trademark italo sounds and vocals (also included the instrumental version). but what should get you really excited is the flemming dalum >firelight< remix. he strips it down to the minimal and builds an amazing dark and intense version that stays true to the original sound but with a modern dancefloor approach.

trouble in paradise is a pure testament to the roots of r&b flavored vocal house. in the danism vox the sweet simplicity of the standard boom & clap intro is well paced and leads into the funky bassline, while the enchanting chords set the stage for the outstanding vocal performance of sean williams. his r&b flavored, distinctive phrasing is mildly reminiscent of john legend, however, seans earthy quality shines through. the passionate & insistent lyrical melody never fails, climaxing into panoramic bridges while the memorable bah de dahsintermittently dot the production. its texture is a reminder of sophisticated nyc funk a la early 80s prelude/west end/sam records with a modern house feel. djs, if you want the ladies on the floor, trouble in paradise (danism vox) is the one to drop!

would you have remembered? with the debut album of the 32-year-old warszawian, téchnè, cocoon recordings has released the first artist album ever on the label six years ago, at that from an artist who was not well-known to a large extent back then. this has changed fundamentally: with his releases on his own label recognition as well as on trapez or klang elektronik, sienkiewicz belongs to those ambassadors of modern individual electronic dance music who set benchmarks. this is also his demand with the two tracks on �my little place�, meanwhile his fourth release for cocoon recordings. while the over-heated my little place re-interprets the credo of dub with polyrhythmic elements, delays and echo in an somehow unfamiliar way, �com-bat� carries on sienkiewicz tradition of putting hypnotic sound evocations close to the ten-minute mark. with intensive melancholy, the percussive bass rotor of com-bat creates a bewitched hymn for sunrises somewhere in between the urban desperation of detroit, the atmosphere of after hours and balearic bliss

hot on the heels of the bestselling second edition in the limited series, the ppf boys dropped off this outstanding third ep in the sample pleasures trilogy!!! as always, they expertly reference classic, though less well known underground gems from the last days of disco to early forays into proto house. heavily influenced by the fertile early 80s period, when european disco and boogie sounds took us in a more electronic direction, and the kind of boundary pushing, energetic, funked up soundtrack ron hardy laid down in the music box, the popular peoples front have established a formidable reputation for making stand out modern club cuts...

crossfire goes along with that history: pumping, hypnotic & acidish he merges the best aspects of underground & bigroom soundz into one piece of music! the b-side once more underlines his diversity in sound with pillow tracks strings adding a trancy note to the ep or final destinations modern shuffled grooves.

nice price deal !!! the unhistories sound is psychedelic, but not in the paisley way. more mind expanding/modern...get it straight, singer isnt referencing any past trend in music. their idea involves their (very) original compositions tangling with voices stumbling, clucking, heaving, whipping, shrieking and sighing in a graceful jumble. this is a crux. this is unhistories. by way of introduction, the record is packaged in a way that brings the fun and the fury of singer into your hands, your home, your lap, your eyes, ears and headphones with life, weight and a glossy polish.

he soul mechanik brothers operating under their creative use name have taken a pair of stone cold underground club classics and extended and amended them for modern use. cat stevens >was dog a doughnut< has appeared several times over the years in many shapes and sizes, this definitive extended version has to be up there with the best of them though, allowing the dislocated funk of the original to simmer away before reaching boiling point. similarly riuchi sakamoto�s timeless classic >riot in lagos< should be mandatory listening for anyone with an interest in electronic music, an absolute masterpiece in it�s original form, this version takes the meat of the track straight to the dancefloor where it�s turned into a juicy electrofunk sandwich of tastily huge proportions

the soul mechanik brothers operating under their creative use name have taken a pair of stone cold underground club classics and extended and amended them for modern use. african frog charity is a cunning rework of the ridiculously rare 1985 tam tam pour l�ethiope� track, a futuristic afrobeat throwdown featuring a collaborative artist list that would make any african music enthusiast blush >bounty girls< takes kid creole�s >annie< and manages to eek out the afro vibe from the calypso based ingredients of the original...

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum�n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

last summer, the berlin-based producer and well-known remixer chris zippel (who already worked with the pet shop boys, robbie williams or ich & ich) already celebrated his very personal interpretation of modern and complex ambient between zwischen triphop beats and melancholic pop references by his genuine horizon album. with this ep, chillout producer zippel has chosen a way quite unusual for him by taking four tracks of the album, making them compatible for the dancefloor with a number of co-producers and proving that dub is still up-to-date in 2008. the ep starts with an interpretaton of electronic spain recordings producer mangelt: again, a straightforward energy flash between reminiscence and modern club sound, takes on the powerful post acid minimalhouse sound a la steve bug. the dane mike salta turns mirror dawn into deep techhouse dub, and also the schwerin-based downtempo producer andre muelle alias vakuum sounds shows that he is influenced by a timelessly valid unterstanding of dub and fragmented s mples by his version of glacier. finally, the tribal progressive house dub of blade remixed by kling klong impresario namito (berlin), undoubtedly the most famous remixer on this ep, goes right into your hips
