the man behind some infamously amazing and joyful live sets, a successful first album for musique risqué, a great ep for oslo, and a brilliant debut on circus company with petit djinns-including the underground hit >sous l arbre<, guillaume & the coutu dumonts is now back on cc with >i was on my way to hell<. a delicious two-tracker for different moments, covering two distinct vibes perfectly. on the a side >i was on my way to hell< is a jam that bubbles over like a volcano with a marvelous synth pad melody building along with a gospel preacher sample. all the while a heavy groove powers away underneath- he’s got the secret! on the b side, we are taken to a more quiet but still melodic environment. >can’t argue with silence< opens up with a rolling bass line, a simple refined groove, and then gradually sprinkles tasteful acoustic hits and ethno-styled synth stabs on top. close your eyes and feel the heat of an >arabian night< inna guillaume & the coutu dumonts house sylee!

great rollin phunky percu remixes by mark broom and mark williams !!

the new release on the mojuba sublabel features two classic and timeless moments of dutch techno music. the main track >spadet< was also one of the chosen tracks for the legendary x-mix by kevin master reese saunderson on studio k7!, and even after more than a decade since its original release, there are still goosebumps while hearing the magnificent sounds of that tune! the b-side might be less know but it still captures that special feeling and the power of true detroit techno which never left our hearts. the whole package was remastered to today’s standards by no other than the sound connoisseur monsieur redshape!

oftentimes the tracks which please you the most are the ones that capture the magic moment of the performance itself. demetrio giannice presents three such captured moments on er-001. two of the tracks feature friends of him who contribute their voice for the vocal parts. in addition a remix was produced by stefano m. and appears as a2 on this release

twisted mini tech for those special moments in the morning..

nice floating techhouse for the contemplativ moments on the floor.

original version in a typical district one fashion, tight, clean and funky..while the flip is a reshape of one of twos tag team from the swiss alpes aka mountain peoples peter dildo (andre rozzo) ..played by richie hawtin..

minimal phreak out strong release by this swedish dream team of clicks n cuts.. after the fantastic gez varley and geoff white releases in the past few months, persistencebit returns strong once more with the swedish minimal techno artists johan skugge and mikael stavöstrand, who work their collaborative gear into a feverish lather on a new trio of high-octane cuts. immaculately constructed and executed with precision, the duos material isnt as skeletal as one might expect-ample noise and commotion appear alongside the tunesgrooves-and, in its acidy moments, pink phantom sometimes sounds like audion, albeit in a slightly less raucous frame of mind

supported by jeff bennett, ripperton, fabrice lig, solomun, pawas, john digweed, dubnitzky, bvdub, da funk, estroe,.... french producer arthur pochon alias art bleek (resopal, connaisseur, klakson, kubism, rushhour) is well known for his beautiful and dancing releases. now he presents his debut release on night drive music. the strong limited 4-tracker is full of dreaming moments, grooving beats and wonderful stories. this tunes are made for the deep summernights but also for the morning after. calmly and tenderly art bleek caresses our soul with soft chords, enchanting melodies and flattering beats.

brilliant tracks again from lovebirds and winding road records. in the shadows is a pumping techno-house track with explosive vocals - and possibly one of winding roads best moments to date. it has all the right ingredients to be the tune of summer 2008, but theres no doubt its still cool enough for the discerning dj to play over and over again. this is going to be the >track of the night< in hundreds of dj sets over the next few months! theres also an instrumental included, under the name avlium. here, the vocals are stripped away to leave a slice of robot disco which is absolutely essential for the darker club djs. this track has been getting massive international dj support. the final track on the package is sarice, which injects a scintillating dose of growling underground darkness. winding road do the business again

der mann der neben manual auf border community, perc trax, klang & stolen moments veröffentlicht holt zum nächsten grossen wurf aus. strahlender border techno mit giorgis gatzigristos mix

hot artist m.a.r.s. makes his debut on heya with remote area, a sophisticated deephouse number with a minimal live touch. remixed by bangana and alf tumble for different lavours and moments

marek bois aka dapayk erschafft auf seinem ersten bois album organische stücke die quietschfidel & mit ungewöhnlichen sounds angereichert sind

an quantec kam zuletzt keiner vorbei, der auf dub-techno steht. ob auf meanwhile, styraxleaves, echocord oder millions of moments - überall hat er seine wabernden soundschwaden hinterlassen. hier wird nun zum ersten mal auf albumlänge dub zelebriert

excellent deep melodic detroitish techhouse two tracker by daniel bortz. for the moments you take off to be all alone by yourself just for five minutes.. deeply breathing, sinking. indication and seduction...

after the genre-smashing, seven vinyl pressings deep (and counting) success of viktor casanova, there is no way that the italoboyz could possibly top their first appearance on mothership, right? wrong! we are happy to report that they have created an organic techno masterpiece in >bahia<, enlisting the help of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - john coltrane. youve never heard the master like this - the italoboyz have molded the original >bahia< into a stomping peak timer as only they can. their trademark monster kick underpins stuttering jazz kits, a playful piano line, and an insistent, soulful tenor sax sample from the man himself (cleared after four months of intense negotiations). bahias intro leads into one of the most surprising and euphoric breaks you will ever hear. there are two versions to choose from - the party swing mix gets right to the point, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck. the flip sides mucho lungo mix is perfect for those late night warehouse moments, taking its time to deliver the sweet payoff

mo rotation is the next step in the history of westpark units 80s funk influences they started with blaxrotation and fits well within the sound of today! always sexy, dope, deep & dubby. proper thang is as deep as jeep and builds up in the typical westpark unit style with some demanding but tricky drumpatterns and a wicked bassline. to surprise, the duo added some old school snippets into the drop, put them into a different context and present a jewel of a bangin deep house tune with one of the most enthusiastic moments when the beats come back in. mo rotation sets up with just some shakers, a demanding percussion loop, a booming bass and needs almost 5 minutes to get things started. when the bassdrum finally drops in, the club is already near ecstasy while the music takes a small step from 1983 to 2008 and a deep masterpiece

for everyone who has liked playing around with made to play tracks over the past few years but possibly missed the limited edition vinyl now is your chance to get your hands on four of the most popular tracks. as a little teaser from the forthcoming >playing around< label compilation, here are some of made to plays top moments. this includes a remix of magik johnsons >scanning for viruses< by the jolly giant himself, claude vonstroke, >would it?< by trevor loveys and jesse rose under the guise of izit, the huge >block party< from buckley and >wake up< which was a landmark collaboration between jesse rose and made to plays rising star, oliver $. with the hype surrounding the first re-release of these tracks, the made to play world tour and the >playing around< compilation cd, this will be at the top of every proper house fans shopping list.

not only is franklin sharing his flat with yapacc these days, hes also remixing the likes of peter grummich, colorswitch, ricardo villalobos or pheek, the berlin resident is also releasing constantly persuasively arranged and produced music on crack & speed, sender, trapez, immigrant and on his own imprint the green empire (which is he co-running also with his long-time friend yapacc). >this is probably the best cadenza release which hasnt been released on cadenza<, said a journalist a week ago - and who are we to deny this? these two tracks are beautifully towering tripped-out, post-minimal techno pieces which are not only suitable for late night moments.

dapayk alias marek bois präsentiert uns sein erstes album unter eben diesem deckmantel - die unzähmbaren >boisschen untiefen<. die >boisschen untiefen pt.1< ist nun die erste scheibe aus dem releasezyklus. dieser erste part schwimmt weit über den trüben gewässern der mittelmäßigkeit. toll!!

the sheer depth in production of the original coupled with the quality of the reinterpretations can be seriously time consuming! the original midali blends ethnic vocal chants and charles websters silky sound to create a sublime dance floor atmosphere. brooks adds trademark futurism and takes daddys vocals into orbit. charles dub is multiple layered soft softly house cut for down moments and is followed up by vincenzos marginally more energized version. enjoy.

downrocks is the new musical proyect of kapi, producer from barcelona with more than 20 years involved in the hip hop scene. member of the elektrodomesticos crew who delivered the most sucessful electro recording in spain in the 90s, he returns with this delicious ep that guarantees fun and great moments in the dancefloor and the streets.

jona is back with manta: a sick, expertly crafted new e.p. for get physical music. 24-year-old belgian jonathan troupin s true arrival on the house and techno block his debut 12- for get physical, the learnings. since then, he s chalked up another acclaimed e.p. for physical, tizia, not to mention assorted releases for labels like fumakilla and resopal red, and high profile remixes for michal ho, soffy o, daso and labelmates booka shade and m.a.n.d.y. jona doesn t mess about: title track manta immediately establishes itself as a no-holds-barred, peaktime club weapon, with a hard, pure-of-purpose kickdrum taking centre stage while kinetic drum edits and pressurized fx patter in, out and around it. a dizzying synth motif adds to an already mind-bending brew, while each successive build and drop ravishes the listener into submission. this is music to immerse yourself in, for sure, but above all it s music to really, really dance to. at this point you might expect the pace to let up, but b-side amon is a similarly hectic, energetic cut. all rolling bassline, acidic synth cycles, crisp percussion, jump-up vocal samples and surging narcotic effects, amon is a blast of magnificently controlled chaos for the party s more intense moments. the 12- draws to a close with exoplanet dub a no less formidable but certainly more spacious club track. its addictive, zig-zagging melodies reminding us of the more playful side to jona s music. with manta, jona furnishes us with three vehement yet elegant tracks guaranteed to turn a dancefloor near you inside out

this selection is based on over two decades of deep dj experiences. the impact of seeing jazz dancer, michael knot of idj, dancing to acid trax by phuture, in the back room of a pub in teddington, produced one of those seminal moments that, gilles maintains, radically changed his view of acid house. it is important to say that this is certainly not a club album as some of the predecessors in this series have been.

some fresh tunes from western hamburg are scored on our 9th release. heerhorst & meissner do it again! after their debut release >platzwart (kompa004)< in early 2007, they now contribute another three fresh and extraordinary tracks. >fahrstuhlmusik< on the a-side is build on an extra-deep bass, evolving slowly but surely to a lovely high-end harmonic anthem. for the good moments in life! the b-side holds two more masterpieces of the guys. >whoop< on b1 is a real minimal tech-monster, twisted and funky in its minimalism. afterhour-proved! on b2 you find >heroin<, an deep & reduced tune

first release on central by different central artists like leper, bryantist and dirtbox with tracks from deep flavoured minimal techno to ambient and funky electro

both tracks sitting firmly in the techy house bracket that works so well for peak time, early on & those 4am moments... in other words a perfect 12inch for pretty much any occasion like the little black dress of the music world!!!

get down features the vocal talents of mc zub is set to become the next party anthem. its got all the right ingredients, infectious groove, big bassline, catchy vocals and melody, that will have you singing this in your head for days. the hip house version is a real jackin track with plenty of extra mad synth action to keep it twisted. the minimow mix is a stripped back groover with an intense brooding vibe for the darker moments.

after a long break fm musik is back with a huge ep from the london based marc cotterell. this is a must-have monster for every deep and techhouse set. on the aside we have the frankman remix, well know from his releases and remixes on labels like auris, dessous, shayan or moonharbour. he bring us, in best frankman manner, a deep, atmospheric tune with deep rhodes, tricky delays, tight beatprogramming and an amazing break after 6 min. the original mix on the b-side by marc cotterell presents shakin deep grooves with cool synthlines. special chords and pads round up the message to you. the ep finishes off with james tones givin us a rolling 303 bassline. a perfect track for late-nite and sunrise moments

its almost 4 years to the day that jeff samuels >throatwobbler mangrove ep< was released on karloff #03, and even today the four world hits of the record are getting digged out by djs, when the minimalism needs to either groove or jack again. so now with >return of the throatwobbler< theres finally an appropriate follow-up by the man from seattle.. erm.. berlin, after he’s impressively run riot in the meantime, on labels like spectral, trapez, poker flat, frankie and logistic. the a-side >terso< is shuffling and twirling and bouncing in such a winsome way that not many can master like jeff samuel. almost like an electric ray - left and right and left, and without letting any tempting gimmicks take the mind off the straight path. appropriately enough, >the spook< on the b-side comes along a bit more spookily, with a bassline twisting into the brain, ripped up by miniatures of bleeps and chords just in the right moments, and thus leading the track to an agile, exhilarated climax

a new treasure in palomas family-like repertory is about to enter the scene, deo & z-man aka mafiosi bros. have already convinced loads of heads while playing at elementary festivals this summer - these tracks are extra beta-tested on many precious floors in order to rock that spot, two stunning dancefloor-weapons for moments of mass bliss.

a new label , a new day , a new direction. controversial and exciting , this label is going to be one to watch for anyone who has their brain switched on and who can make up their own minds about music. it is not going to play int o the hands of the minimal techno explosion but it will share the space and the dance floor with most styles of techno and provide your audience with some memorable moments in their lives. this is what we believe music should now be aiming to achieve. you are welcome to tell us if you think we are doing that or not. first track rox the box is almost daft punkesque in rhythm , but the groove is more techno styled with some serious heavy gating in the break giving it a glitchey crackly sound. strange dayze is a more mellow minimal techno experiment , a very cool club sound with some unusual melodies enjoy

played by: miss kittin, laurent garnier, oxia and many others !!! da fresh is arnaud caschera and one of the best known protagonistsof the french techno scene delivering quality music since the early 2000s on many different labels. for the 17th release of huntemanns dance electric imprint, he joins forces with germanys electro goddess of russian decent: xenia beliayeva. slow dance is an epic release with big theatrical gestures and a cold blooded 80ies pop appeal. a song for very special dancefloor moments and long parties with a catchy hookline. – a guaranteed hit. for all those vocal allergists da fresh also included an intense instrumental mix

nice price deal !!! dance music legend zimbardo returns to ruff dog recordings to give us a monstrous slab of tech funk named say hey. this release is definitely one of his finest moments to date, a fantastically well executed excursion into zs world of glitch ridden wonky electro workouts! and to top the release off we ve included a super funky bleep ridden breaks remix from italys finest plaza de funk.

producer holger behn aka h.o.s.h. is back on stil vor talent with his third release and second 12 inch on oliver koletzkis imprint. his latest two tracks are all about house music, while always keeping a strict eye on the dancefloor. it starts with the tech-house anthem >grünanlage<, the name of a sunday afternoon open air in h.o.s.h.s hometown hamburg that he co-organises. the tune features a great clappy snare and some wonderful balearic guitar melodies, which swing over the fast loop. this tune is going to put a smile on your face wherever you are. on the flip there is >blaupause<, which translates as blueprint and is a dreamy housy pusher that keeps grooving with its synthie-stabs and warm bassline. later in the track h.o.s.h. adds an oldschool piano that pushes the track into another state with its drifting melody. it reminds us of so very many great rave moments. however, h.o.s.h. never gives in to the temptation of drifting off into cheese, stays cool at any given moment and keeps the seal of quality for his music very high. >blaupause< is a wonderful summery teaser that never explodes, but keeps imploding! h.o.s.h. once again does what he does best: delivering two wonderfully melodic tracks that fluctuate perfectly between house and techno. just the way we like it

the upon you 006 is the birth hour of the berlin duo fraenzen texas and ruede hagelstein. knowing each other since early childhood they started their dj career together in berlin. by now they are resident dj’s in the watergate club and the two build their studio into the epicentre of the upon you empire, so it is not surprising that the cheapers has become the first own label-act. related to the style of their dj sets that they prefer to play in ping-pong fashion, the fog & frogs e.p. is focusing on the contrast between dark shallows, hypnotic currents and enlightening moments full of fantasies and plenty of inanities. two tracks that stand for the amplitude of their future productions

zimmermann alias jens zimmermann aka tyrell corp. aka dj gargamel is constantly changing yet always the same: a damn good producer. from his early days when he whipped up tracks by culture beats and out of the ordinary into dancey frenzy with well-known german producer torsten fenslau, to his drum n bass-fuelled moments of technical innovation, jens has never been one to stand still. constantly reinventing hilmself, he always managed to keep things ticking, making him one of the most sought-after producers in the late eighties and throughout the nineties. now, in 2007, after years of noise research and sound sculpting, he is re-emerging as zimmermann which stands for >new german minimal sound<. after three much-celebrated releases, aptly called zimmermann #1, #2 and #3 on room recordings, which were severely hyped up by germany s house fraternity, and releases and remixes on boxersport, k2,and hifreaks as well as on harthouse mannheim, the future is looking bright for jens

firm fave of: ewan pearson, agoria,fabrice lig, ali schwarz, shinedoe, ben watt, jimpster, umek, bodzin !!! pele is back, this time in cooperation with shokh aka dave shokh, dipolder label owner and kiddaz.fm ambassador. peles last release >childhoods end< is one of connaisseur most successful releases so far in 2007, with plenty of licensings for many important summer compilations. thumbs was already released as a limited 250 copies white label release in february this year. finally this great rumbling techno track found its way to connaisseur, to be presented to a bigger audience. >thumbs< is a squeaky, twittery and kickin minimal techno track packed with a bunch of little astonishing moments. already featured on patrick chardronnets grand cru mix, this is more than a perfect mixing tool: a stripped down minimal hymn, no redundant emotions, strictly rhythm a quality ass-shaker! simon baker leeds-based shooting star of 2007. after his amazing releases on playhouse, connaisseur, viva and his own imprint infant, he drops this massively bouncing techno monster of a remix. kind of chicagoesque, kind of daft and massively pushing pure peaktime madness!

nation is back!! a double a side release by x2 (house not house) and xxart (the moment). its the usual suspects turning the knobs and pushing the faders again... (traxx, j.t.c. dmarc cantu) for some pure raw jacking house music (or jaking as they say). tracks inspired by the music box in chicago... the legendary place where all heads went back in the days. >the moment< is a simple track with an effective bassline and quick vocals... very playfull! >house not house< is a powerfull sci-fi trip with a robust acid bassline and a blasting ms20 and old schoolish keyboard strings. back to the basics.. back to the music that makes you jak. (dont sleep on this one... limited to 500 copies and no digital downloads!)

the cadenza boys in full effect! andomat 3000 & jans first offering for morris audio is a 2-track monster. >emovere< is a dubby peak time track, combining fat rhythms, catchy melodies and great breakdowns, and even manages to keep a deep edge! its the perfect openair track, the perfect rave track, the perfect club track! check the flip for another superb piece of music. >microemotion<, a loopy workout with a sexy bassline for the freakier moments of a set!

joey returns to his own jackin tracks imprint for a lovely 4 tracker, this time re-releasing two of his classic tracks and showcasing two new ones. for anybody who may have missed it, joeys >sunrise ep< on freaked records uk came out in 2004 and was widely regarded as one of the best records in his discography. the standout was >memories< featured here beautifully remastered on a1. it has since become a house classic, and also a very hard-to-find record. on a2 is >the devils groove<, a twisted cut perfect for those drugged out moments at 5 am in a very dark room. flip for b1s >country life,< nice dancefloor-aimed material with a massive bassline and soulful male vocals, this one was surely inspired by derrick carter and achieves that sound perfectly! and lastly is >45 funk< – the full a-side track on the original freaked release - old-school youngman sound, undeniably funky with a wicked keyboard solo thrown in for good measure
