following on from last years dachshund skank ep by klic & article.01, we have asked some of our favourite producers of the moment to add their own slant to the originals which previously found their way into the dj sets of martyn and addison groove and gained support from bbc6 music. greymatter continues with his new love for chicago-styled synth and drum machine work-outs with his jacking take on forwards, while pixelord and the hotly tipped gerry read take the track mustard tiger in two very different directions on the flip. the digital release sees the talented new boy blacksmif and hit and hope regular naive machine add their respective twists to round off the release.

manuel tur returns to delusions following his recent classic most of this moment on freerange and proceeds to throw another whacking great curveball for those who have think theyve got his game sussed. its quite safe to say the last year or so manuel has continued to push and redifne himself as a producer, refusing to stick to one sound or repeat himself which has resulted in some amazing releases aswell as some fruitful collaborations. recent remixes for permanent vacation, diynamic and dixons philomena label all display his deeper, left-of-centre and more techno-edged sound. here on delusions we have the (bi) polar opposite in the form of the foolin ep. the title track is a beautiful slice of soul-drenched house which goes for a classic sound with simple horn chords, rolling bass and incessant claps spicing up the groove. a simple vocal refrain is spun in like a dj drops an accapella and once heard this will be stuck in your head for days. a firm fireside favourite with all of us here at dog. theres also an instrumental version of foolin for those with vocalitis. flipping over we have the traveller which sees manuel head down slightly more familiar territory with a heavy, lo-slung groove providing the backdrop for some axelrod-style strings and horns, live bass and floating vocal adlibs. a subtley haunting soundtrack feel pervedes as the arrangement developes but the relentless driving beats make sure this track never strays far from the dancefloor.

daniel dexter is the latest new talent to emerge as part of the poker flat crew. after some success with his strong, futuristic productions on exploited records, the berlin based producer has found a new home in steve bugs modern house magnate. the moody, storming >no house for old men< is a superb example of daniels talents. synth-heavy, dramatic and restrained, this slow burning houser lifts and climbs into spacey, ecstatic moments as its detroit influenced keys and carl craig-esque peaks bring it home. the groovy >who knows motorcity< works a simple yet addictive theme in a powerful pop-house moment, especially designed for summertime evening action. clean, bright percussion and rubbery synths flavour this delightful second course! the deeper, hypnotic tones of >the other day< have an almost soundtrack quality as subtle key changes and detailed sound design take this track into more subterranean realms. melancholic yet positive in its resolution, this is future house music in its prime!

crosstown rebels are immensely proud to present latest signing fur coat and their epic tech-funk odyssey. featuring an absolutely killer remix from man of the moment totally enormous extinct dinosaurs space ballad feat. argenis brito is about to blow your mind.

talented portugese duo johnwaynes have had a fruitful career so far with releases on labels like brique rouge and compost. now they appear on serenades, with this trippy and inspired vocal house track >never enough<. featuring the soulful vocal talents of stee downes, the irish amsterdam-based singer whose smooth tones can also be found on sonar kollektiv, the team have cooked up a real hit in the making with >never enough<. combining deep, sexy house vibes with an insistent, catchy vocal and expertly produced elements the track comes in two distinct versions. the original keeps things low down and dirty, wrapping up the story in a cool 8 minute version. melodious pianos and deep square bass come together in a glorious moment of underground pop house. the raw mix however pushes the story further with a more ravey vibe and extended tripped-out moments, yet keeps it deep and soulful with warm rhodes keys and plenty of atmosphere!

up next on kant recordings is the swedish producer pehr genlogue. from the moment we first heard the demo of >pincer movement<, we knew that the track was special. with its incredible sound of depth defying bass, pulsing synths and dramatic breaks, help it stand out from the crowd. on the remix front we have brought in some of the swedish techno elite.

we meet a new project, cool, and damn techno. design concept and sounds that rather than being projected towards europe, appear to come from europe, more precisely from somewhere dark and cold in the north of the continent. but no! the minds that conceived the project are all italian and lie along a line connecting cities like palermo and naples, at least for the moment. because as you might expect from the country s brain drain ... the releases, starting with the first (which will appear in the catalog as 000), will be all vinyl.

following 2009s sizzler >caribbean girl< man of the moment mario basanov returns to under the shade for more heat! utilizing the sticky sweet vocal talents of miss bee >just think about< is a summer scorcher thatll have you reaching for the speedos! remixes come courtesy of art of tones, social disco club & mirror people and marios own dub mix

here we have the second release from smokescreen records, the new sister label for g13. pushing new artists is always propz, rowney and niteriders objective and the two producers in question are hoax from torquay and man of the moment dialogue from birmingham. both sides of this release are infectious jump up bangers, >utopia< is a synth led smasher and >rompa stompa< is a big dirty bassline stepper. two tunes for the jump up massive!

the acronym lfo is normally used for >light fuel oil<, but what robert stolt presents with his new release is truly nutritious fuel for the dancefloor. >beyond lfo< developed a groove like chiseled, massive, overwhelming, heated up and extremely intense. a track that could easily run more and more and leaves you breathless and speechless as soon as the last bass drum is faded away. two remixes come from the feather of the well-known pig & dan guys. a steppin and ever-shifting rhythm is the foundation on which a swinging guitar melody unfolds their poignant effect and transform force into playful clarity. a suitable outdoor summer hit. in their second version, the melodic superstructure is purified rigorously, the residual remain compacted and the driving rhythmic moment dressed in a hypnotic dub garb. the clearly breaks infected track >monster< is inspired by the aesthetics of american b-movie monster movies from the 50s. varying, cinematic sound cascades and these wonderful bleeps over all have a direct path into the heads own sound cinema.

>how come< is the second single to come from the acclaimed third album >king of the waves< from little barrie, delivered as a limited edition heavy weight 7 inch single. with a video shot in paris and featuring mareva galanter, full service to radio and live dates across europe >how come< is building on the initial success of >surf hell< - theme tune to the new channel 4 series >sirens< – to make little barrie one of the hottest acts around at the moment.

a chance meeting of minds and talents, this surprising new ep comes from a seasoned producer who kicked off the spc series with his stunning 3 part series, alongside a promising new talent whose name is spreading fast in the techno world. jeroen search & markus suckut are the craftsmen in question and this is their first creative output ?working together. >jsms 1.0< introduces us into their world. tough, straight beats pump under a discordant bed of synth tones that build in crescendo that emerges and then carefully dies down. the occasional crack of a lone clap or teasing washes of tape delay add to the tension, as this paranoid moment takes control. a classically warm and minimalist affair, >jsms 4.3< plants a super deep synth theme in our heads before introducing quite a mysterious spoken word, locking us into the vibe without doubt. crisp hats cut through the mix as a perfect tool is born. dub techno excursion >jsms 2.0< is a rough and raw stab track done their way.

seiji – the much-lauded and respected producer from west london – returns with the penultimate part of his 2010-launched seiji series. having successfully explored a career path thats established him as a founding member of broken beat originators bugz in the attic, a key artist for the seminal jungle/d n b label reinforced, a downbeat solo artist for sonar kollectiv and a producer and co-writer for the brilliant roisin murphy, in 2011 seiji is a man focused squarely on the dancefloor. the seiji series is just one part of that with seiji stripping things right back, identifying each release with a simple number and putting all his energy into creating music that he truly believes in. a merging of sounds and influences that have always been with him, but have never sounded so right – encapsulating everything thats exciting about the underground uk scene at the moment. as with the previous two releases, seiji 4 is a double a-side focusing on the current uk house sound, a bit soulful, a bit funky a bit jacking, with two solid heavy grooves that are going to work on any house dance floor. no other has a really soulful vocal sample, a rolling reese bass riff and percussive uk house beats. easy is more of an infectious skippy house groove with a chunky bass hook and deep techno pads

freaky oldshool psychobilly music. thats the best words for mentalics style at the moment. listen to his funky >jukebugs< vinyl. summer-burner

tuccillo is a rare producer as he lives and works in ibiza all year round rather than flies in for the summer. the white island is without doubt the most overused and abused place on earth for dance music promotion, but beneath the glam superficial surface a real scene of native island talent is emerging. so when it came to making an ep for 2020vision we pushed the artist as far as we felt he could go, to explore new untried directions and show his diversity. tuccillo showed his true spirit and worked though a few knockbacks from our a/r team until we were happy we had the best ep possible at this moment

following his two recent singles on scubas hotflush recordings, london based george fitzgerald is back with his much-anticipated third release and his debut for aus music. titled silhouette, the three-track ep includes two originals and a remix from american producer john roberts. fitzgerald once again manages to create a world in which garage, dubstep, house, r&b and a host of other musical influences happily co-exist. on silhouette hints of warm acid, layered oscillating synth lines, propulsive beats and fitzgeralds signature use of vocal samples make this a peak time affair, albeit an incredibly lush one. reset is eight minutes of forward thinking uk garage combined with the melodic sensibilities of detroit techno. for the silhouette remix, roberts develops a relentless broken groove, occasionally punctured by brief piano interludes that recall the sounds of his 2011 debut full-length on dial records, glass eights. a breathtaking remix that sounds like nothing else out there at the moment. in addition to silhouette, fitzgerald currently has remixes out for french house producer brawther on secretsundaze and uk bass artist throwing snow, as well as an upcoming ep on hotflush and a track on the labels recent compilation, back and 4th. this year will also bring the founding of man make music, a new label fitzgerald is starting with friends.

there. is. nothing. better. than. a. clear. blue. sky. after the storm. taken literally, the track listing for barems debut lp represents that fleeting moment when nature puts its house in order, when calm and clarity triumph over chaos. of course it also works perfectly as a metaphor for those fuzzy moments of self-reflection while sprawled on a hotel bed after another mind-blowing night at the controls, or while taking stock of a musical journey thats about to culminate in a debut album for the internationally renowned label that motivated you to start making music in the first place. this is the vinyl version of barems debut album, with five specially edited tracks for all vinyl-lovers

jichael mackson is back and presents 3 masterpieces on stock5. nobody knows like him to flow between dub, techno and electronica and all this in just one track. well, here are three of them. pure live sessions, music created right in the moment, surely with little chips n cracks but thats what makes this music charming, so less digital and previsible.

and here it is: the second vinyl ep of niko schwinds album >good morning midnight<. it features some of the unique tracks that niko has created together with some of berlins hottest production talents. on the a side are two tracks that feature the clicky tech-house boys that are channel x, where things kick off with >back from the bar<. it sounds as the title suggests: a little wobbly, a little drunk, a little crazy, but also pretty magic. quite clearly this is an homage to one of berlins not-to-be-forgotten clubs that is unfortunately history now. but things continue on here at least with >dont turn the lights on<, a more straightforward dancefloor track, with a trumpet as the main protagonist. this is one of those tracks that keeps leading up to a real arms-in-the-air-moment if it wasn’t so damn housy at the same time. on the flip the magical connection between niko and label daddy oliver koletzki can be heard on >master of ceremony<, a chopped-up house track with epic dimensions. when things get to the piano breakdown, they get very musical and colossal before dropping back into a great house track. the stark contrast between the piano melody and the groove on this really make it. last but not least then, the original album opener >good morning< that features the singing of fran. it works great as a great album opener, but also perfectly as a slower and more thoughtful addition to a great ep

the berlin-based partnership of long-time friends steve bug and clé has reared many a classy deep house tune in its time… their classic silicon ballet ep from 2007 led us heavily into their sound, combining melodic, blissful elements with the heavy vibes of the old-school acid days. now were due another full ep with seven hills. the title track is a refined, long-playing stormer - perfect for the coming months as the summer weather stirs up open-air fever! from humble beginnings a riotous, epic track grows fusing the poker flat boys patented analog production and natural ear for a melody. heartfelt strings draw the track to its finale as a teasing breakdown arrives around the 6 minute mark. this is a real slow-burner in the best sense of the phrase. the more urgent monkeyshoulder drives a deep blazing night-time vibe all the way home. smooth, filtering chords and spacey stabs swirl in a magical futuristic-yet-classic house jam. simply deadly in the right moment, this bright and dynamic production really does justice to the pairs talents

in all the thea rooms, the meeting centers for alcoholics russians and the blogs of the sapareted nations of the wikirebels were wondering where anton and maxim truly ended up. perhaps non all were aware of wap happened in moscow after the big heat of the summerr 2010. used to the polar cold also the computers ad all the electronic comunications took a moment to reflect, closing, in a natural obligation and right to silent. but this does not apply to scsi-9. the guys have to work with dedication and long care, clear, relaxed. do things well means knowing how to wait, as tasting a fine wine, smooth. in this the cold couple births their new mood in two beautiful tracks and perceives new exchanges of high level with john tejada and pablo bolivar. two thin encouters of arte and culture, where pablo silken and john point- blank reveal a tick record, impeccable. john bounces our breath trough harmonic turns and chorns that transforms the original track in a new roaring engine and well-calibrated, with an unforgettable ending. pablo enters the tunnel of sound to cover/wrap in a soft and comfortable limbo, more visionary than ever. deep that becomes contemporary is ready. only 500 copies distributed on the planet.
