the first release on the new deluxe mood label, featuring 3 tracks of lo-fi destined to appeal to afficionados of disjointed hihats and slowly mutating sub-bass electronics. production duo dark network emerged from a series of semi-conspiratorial electronic projects through the 1990s with their 2003 album late set, released through clan analogue recordings. they have been frequent contributors to vinyl and cd projects over the years (on imprints such as clan analogue, klub kooky and stoner classix) and appeared live at various underground venues. side a is the result of one such live appearance - a rare archival live set recorded at sydneys klub kooky in 2000, improvised on an array of aging analogue machinery.

dave dk needs no introduction, since his debut moodmusic album “lights and colours” he s been busy travelling the world preaching his trademark electronic deep house sound and remixing florian kruse, tigerskin and seva k for labels baalsaal, global underground and dirt crew among other things. for the new moodmusic release dave packs 2 tracks from the album in new edits as well some major remix biz from ada (areal, irr) and russ gabriel (mobilee, ferox) remixing cinema paraiso was ada s choice, the epic floating, almost balearic feel to it fitted perfectly the fine hand of ada and her perfect production values. starting with a rough 303 bassline, building an intense but deep affair buidling into a hypnotic frenzy of old school acid and modern electronics ! from the feedback from the few selected djs who got their hands on this gem, ada s remix is allready in groove mag top-10 ! the b-side coimbra, a rocking house belter with neat sample editing and the dave dk bassline juggling between the low end and the ultra low sub. russ keeps much of the original intact, deepening the groove with his funk injected beats and some lush detroit influenced chord action like we know and love from him. as a bonus we include the original mix for those vinyl lovers out there !
new kanada enters the year of darkness with two cuts of techno that go straight for the throat. raw house music for mixers, jackers, and people of ill repute everywhere. side a features a slamming remix of murr’s “stay” track by adam marshall. murr’s original moog bassline gets jacked into a dj-friendly mix weapon of the highest calibre. 10+ minutes of erratic hats, swung snares and some weird noises that would do octave one proud. sibe b is a homage to our favourite analog mixer of days gone by - the numark dm1950. mood edit embraces the chaos of chicago house, and the class of new york city in this long playing dub tool that will be sure to evoke fear in the legs - and passion somewhere inbetween. complete with off kilter bassline, counterpoint bump, and a long deep mix for the heads.
lil tony, known for his perfect blend of afterhour and old school dj-sets, set high standards with his future beat investigation project in 2007-08 together with fellow helsinki heads roberto rodriguez and kimmo oksanen from the infamous acid kings combo.
claremont 56 releases its first smith & mudd 7inch in a limited edition of series of four (a-d). side a sees smith & mudd at their best, a pure feel good track that puts you in a life affirming mood and gets the feet moving. side b takes it a bit deeper with the acoustic guitar backing a wooden flute solo. these are extremely limited and these are 250 copies only for the world. breath taking!
one of the most consistent us production duos since the 90s return to strictly for the third time in a year with one of their mellow, understated vocal grooves. singer tara j keeps it laidback and jazzy while lem and john craft a selection of r n b fuelled vocal mixes, just the instrumental mood ii swing dub providing a deeper flavour with tense beats and electronic touches, while the acoustic, downtempo urban lounge mix is a revisit to their classic live mixes.
there s another new, exciting talent to be found on moodmusic. john muder, known for his partnership with chopstick as chopstick&johnjon has this teamed up with nils penner, a hamburg native who s earning his living in the world of grafic design but has lost his love in music.
a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

luis radio & raffo drop some serious pumping house and a strong organ/synth which is hypnotizing and rocks the dancefloor. best of seasons limited for a while now this track is essential for the true house sound crowd!
support comes from chloe, simon baker, rob mello, nuno dos santos. two face was featured on the recent moodmusic 10 years mix-cd by sasse, with a softbottom bass but hardhitting percussion and synthwork, this has been a secret weapon for many. lars sandberg aka funk d void loved the original so much that he promised to deliver a remix - and he did. slamming claps combined with a early strictly rhythm stabs and immense breakdowns drives this to the top. watt zone is a totla diffent beast, based on a more house feel, combining dreamy synth yet driving beats , this will be a hot one for the more discerning floors
support comes from alex from tokyo (innervisions), chloe, muallem (compost), tim paris, will saul and philip sherburne (lan muzik). the belgian power-trio mugwump have gained solid support from the likes of ewan pearson, ivan smagghe and ata among others in the recent years for their floor crunching sound on labels such as eskimo, hi-phen, suicide, crosstown rebels and brique rouge. >memory lane refund< was projected for moodmusic as a proud statement. building on a solid house basement, the original is influenced by early chicago and uk house with jacking beats and excellent synth workout from the belgian maestros. their own acid retraxion remix works out some more rolling beats and an evil bassline straight from chicago ala 1987. for remix duties alexander maier (buzzin fly/criminal) turned the original upside down and injected a funky, yet melodic dose of new school house in its best form. this rocks. sasse deliveres a serious sunday afternoon rocker with same flow as his recent work with kiki & nick chacona
two big techhouse bombs with influences of early detroit house mixed with modern production techniques. supported by james flavour, chloe, dave dk, alexkid, p-toile, tommy four seven to name a few
its been a productive month for the mood ii swing boys. the follow up to last months passing time, a collaboration with vocalist lauren, is a fantastically deep disco record that moves and shakes along with the best of them. the bouncy, wobbling bassline of the main mix simply demands to be grooved to, while laurens husky vocal glides along the airy pads and cheeky synth stabs. the dub foregoes the bassline of the original, opting instead for a more top heavy sound and taking the record in a pleasantly techy direction
supported by: miss kittin, ivan smagghe, laurent garnier, jennifer cardini, satoshi tomiie, marc romboy, wally lopez, mike monday, pascal feos, agoria, rui da silva, gregor tresher, hernan cattaneo, darko esser, mistress de funk, martijn ten velden, monika kruse, sasha, prins thomas, stacey pullen, jo mills etc.
dave dk has been buried in his studio the last couple of months fine tuning his debut album lights and colours for moodmusic. its almost ready and here we have the first single coming on strong from this talented producer. sweet yellow takes on where he left with okinawa dance on mood limited and midi rain on playhouse slow building, complex grooves keeping the floor nailed from the first moment on, building an anthem with strong synthlines and his trademark sounddesign of effects and percussion. prism is more housier in the beetz department, while building on vocal snippets and chugging keys keeping the tension on high alert. taking the best of the past and combining it with futuristic themes we are sure dave will be up for big things in the future

new kanada is excited to present two deep advanced house cuts from the mood edit group. >santa domingo< is a peak-time monster house cut - seamlessy blurring the line between minimal and maximal. seriously jackin and bumpin beats collide head-on with haunting sirens and swirling textures. fast enough for the big room - but with a depth and rumble that screams >lock the doors and bring out the good stuff!<. >broken< begins as a tight minimal beat with gritty breakbeats dropping into the mix. slowly it expands into a frenzied piece of surgical funk that fits somewhere between nicolette s >dove song< and carl craig s >bug in a bassbin<. a long extended 8-minute journey into deepest water
henrik schwarz is now back from where he started in 2002 with the supravision ep (mood-016), and we are happy to have him onboard again. walk music came to life some years ago on one of henriks amazing liveshows and as with all good things, it was worth the wait! walk music is a deep, mesmerizing excursion into his soul-funk-disco roots with a mysterious vocal line chugging into your mind while the driving beat and bass keeps your butt moving – pure funk we say. some added strings and an exceptionally suprising arrangement make this another classic henrik schwarz journey.
to celebrate the 50th release and 10 years of existence we wanted to showcase something which brought back those early moments of house and techno but still sounded new and exciting. who better to choose for this job than greg oreck with a little help from sasse on the controls..
