after a short production break, the russian techno duo easy changes (denis cast & kilrill silas) are back with a 12 inch on the berlin/london based label, mean records, run by cesare marchese (cesare vs disorder) & federico benedetti (onirik). the lion is also a good drummer fits in nicely with the labels love of minimal techno productions that feature original sounds, moody melodies and deep aural landscapes. easy changes gained recognition in 2007 with two back to back hit releases on foundsound records. in 2009, they were the first ep from nervmusic, a moscow based label that focuses on unconventional techno started by cast, silas and friends. seated comfortably between the avant-garde and the dancefloor, the release has something for everyone. the title track, the lion is also a good drummer is an epic, crawling minimal techno production filled with stripped down percussion and abstract found sounds perfect for after-hours. on the flipside is the uptempo, quirky and tribal burlesque, replete with spliced vocal samples, snares, cymbals, bleeps and claps. for the burlesque remix, french producer doubtingthomas shows off his lifelong obsession with percussion and its rhythmic allure with the addition of a trippy drum solo midway through the track.

* missed flight* sees two of drumcodes most prominent artists, cari lekebusch and joseph capriati, team up to deliver a 2 track vinyl ep of essential modern techno.
while lekebusch is a veteran, joseph capriati is part of the upsurge of new talent who have been grabbing increasingly intense attention over the past few years. the pairing of a prodigious new talent (somewhat new – capriati has developed quite a catalogue for an artist in his early twenties) with someone of lekebuschs standing is always an enticing prospect so >missed flight< looks set to turn heads from its billing alone. >missed flight< the track comes on like the perfect theme to the arrival of autumn. the tones are moody and the groove is linear, penetrating and eerily appointed. a kubrick-esque breakdown of pulses and space is the only thing that breaks the momentum and adds a deliciously creepy characteristic to proceedings. track two, >napoli 4am<, balances out its darker tinged predecessor with a shuffling 909 funk and playful groove combination that pairs up with subtly delayed hits deep fm synth work brilliantly.

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!

cco aka contra commumem opinionem has released 2 eps on the chicago based label mathematics that were played a lot at plak office. we have been even more amazed to meet him at zukunft club in zürich … the young talented producer is not from the windy city but from our lovely sweetzerland! soo here we go with 2 slices of raw chicago techno/house carefully crafted & extended for plak: the moody atmosphere of >structural constraints< will fly you far far away, on the flip side >structural drift< is a spiritual momentum with a liquid 303 lead and sensual pads for your chemical sunday therapy. this piece of wax is an analog affair, no software!

torontonian quartet, azari & iii have announced their debut self-titled album on turbo recordings / loose lips records / modular. it follows the release of the single >hungry for the power<, which erupted a storm of awe on the underground music scene, and a collaborative track >stay here< with friendly fires in 2010. the record is set to become the sound of a dystopian summer with their innately brooding beat and sordid-pop edge.
azari & iiis unique blend of moody electronica, dark yet hooky vocal choruses and analog-thick rhythms has earned them a hardcore following and sees this album as one of the most-anticipated in the calendar. the four-piece, consisting of producer/musicians dinamo azari and alixander iii with vocalists fritz helder and starving yet full, have crafted a defining sound that relishes in its references while maintaining a future perspective.
from the velvety refrains of >reckless with your love< through to the creeping melancholy of >manhooker< and the unhinged technopera of >undecided<, their album possesses an individual classic-future feel, with trademark lush synthesizations, biting soulful choruss and ominous overtones.

played by: monika kruse, carlo lio, gregor tresher, tassilo, joris voorn, karotte, kaiserdisco, mauro picotto, hernan cattaneo, darren emerson and many more. the one thing that perhaps ties all of dj simis multifarious sounds and aliases together is his passion for distinct drums. his new sci+tec single >green twister< certainly fits. beginning with a stripped back, fuzzy bleep groove, the cut soon becomes a mechanized dancefloor workout thanks to a clear militaristic drum solo. this is classic simi. instead of building tension through sound fx or digital trickery, as so much of todays techno tends to do, >green twister< creates its dancefloor euphoria from a much simpler place: a drum pattern change. for the remix of >green twister<, sci+tec roped in naples danilo vigorito. vigoritos remix is straight up techno jacker. he builds a moody and intense atmosphere around the distinct drums of simis original. its a dark and foreboding club sound.

hot new 12 inch from new yorks favorite punk-funk sisters! the legendary esg return with their first new release in nearly five years with this super-limited one-off pressing on soul jazz records. featuring their trademark stripped down punk/funk style that has spawned a whole generation of fans and bands thirty years on from their first release, >moody/ufo< ep on factory records (and the infamous 99 records in america), esg return to the fold with this awesome piece of minimal dance. this will be followed by a new album >keep on moving< in the summer.

stolen kisses recruited hakim murphy, a rising star of chicagos house scene, for its first kiss. >infinite sensations< is rather unlike his previous work, a dark and moody track driven by salvos of cutting percussion that give rise to glowering synth progressions and ominous blooms of sub-bass. its paired with two remixes from los angeles santiago salazar, the ur-affiliated artist, currently blowing the doors off for his own historia y violencia imprint. his s2 grind remix tunnels through the original, finding hypnotic techno bliss in vibrating synths lines. the jangling s2 sucio remix gets hips shaking by focusing on the tunes lighter side, whirling around chipper motifs with a distinctly latin sensibility.

moody melodic synth patterns, stripped back electronic percussion and haunting hypnotic vocals. may i present the latest masterpiece from reuben tobias: portraits ep. a finely balanced deep underground pop release that will no doubt hold the attention of such names as troxler and jamie jones. the structure, complex enough to hold interest but simple enough to maintain elegance, takes you on a journey through the mind of reuben tobias as you listen attentively to every word of the self expressive lyrics. the b side lead, marran, shares very much the similar characteristics as portraits. minus the lyrics, marran uses subtly layered electronic synths and the comforting sound of young children playing outside to suck you down into a place of complete concentration. your focus becomes stuck in fascination for the sounds guiding you through the duration of the track right to the last second. a brilliant ep. not one for the clubs but certainly one for the collection.

supported by: ben klock, marcel dettmann, ryan elliot, derrick may, cassy, rhadoo, zip, sven väth, pedro, raresh, dana ruh, davide squillace, radio slave, vera, dorian paic, spencer parker, tato,..edec is back to deliver a second offering of floor destroyers. this ep combines the forces of jon hester and the remix skills of dvs1, two purveyors of rhythm hailing from the hidden techno gem of minneapolis, usa. shouts in the dark (original mix) tough concrete beats pump the speakers with urgent rhythm to get pulses pounding. a danceable jack vibe permeates a punchy kick and ricochet percussion, with building pressure in undercurrent noise setting up a strong break. shouts slice through the percussion to make this an upbeat techno burner. shouts in the dark (dvs1 found the light mix) by adding some moody synths, noise, and reducing the percussion, dvs1 (transmat, klockworks) lifts this interpretation into beams of light. no more words to speak as bright versions of the original sounds weave their way into a tight groove under smooth, shimmering synth waves, punctuated by sharpened claps. shouts in the dark (dvs1 lost in the dark mix) dvs1s darker interpretation strips back to sparse synths, snapping highs, a deep kick, and pushed into the shadows.

the more perceptive among you will no doubt twig the musical direction of an ep entitled >the deepness< by 2deepsoul before the needle even hits the groove. if you hoped it was going to be brimming with ocean deep grooves and burning chords - deep house in the truest sense - then youd be right. malcolm moores altered moods recordings brings us the debut release from 2deepsoul, aka rai scott and brad peterson, who set their stall out with a title track dripping with moody synths and hypnotic drums n hats. >escaping insanity< meanwhile is underpinned by a delicious acid line - perhaps the most outright floor-friendly track on this here 12inch. the metronomic pulse of >harmony< is augmented by a majestic one note synth loop that gently soars above - a rasping hat soon joins the fray along with the gentlest of string flourishes. >continuance (theory of lazy clap)< is equally bewitching, with a title and arrangement that wouldnt sound out of place in the dj sprinkles catalogue<

>detroit underground put out wildly variant musical styles on their label, from minimal to house, techno and electro - they certainly cant be genre pigeon-holed! this release comes from swedish duo kritical audio and spans through the aforementioned genres and at moments even into dubstep, breaks and d&b territory. moody, mind-tripping journeys are intricately created on katacomb through eerie synths, deep glitchy 303 basslines and arresting electro rhythms. >bugsmasher< rides electro punches and pounding 303s while the title track finds itself with a low slung, dubstep feeling. >oceans 1300< meanwhile explores yet another route with emotive synths and tight percussion, while the spaced out atmospherics of >taipei< round off an excellent 12inch

after the success of the first release, max duke gives us another great deep ep on delphine records. full of moody and jazzy vibes.

excellent detroit house infused deep house... moody stuff

for its eighth release theres no other responsible than oliver schories, who did several releases on labels like ostwind records, parquet recordings or musik gewinnt freunde (just to name a few), which attracted a lot of attention! on his organ freeway ep oliver delivers a summer track which immeadiately puts you into good humor, no matter if heard in the morning to get up, in the clubs or especially on every upcoming open air party! just get on his >organ freeway<, theres no speed limit! the b-side is somehow darker and moody, like the title >treibsand< promises youll sink in layers of sounds, directed by the low-tuned piano, perfect addition to >organ freeway<! all together a huge summertune which is going to be released on lovely 10 inch-vinyl!

nice price deal !!! following on from her acclaimed debut last year on jansen jardin, yuki suzuki and producer, max essa, return with another slab of far east magic entitled >we don?t have much time<. combining yukis sultry vocal with a very muscular, bass heavy groove, the track comes across like some pitched down (way down!) early 90s nyc garage classic. big, rolling drums push the track along while some glorious strings and piano make sure, as usual, jansen jardin have something for your mind, your body and your soul. on the flipside neville watson delivers one of his finest productions to date. pushing the tempo up and dubbing things out he provides a brilliant reworking which is already causing a fuss from tokyo to berlin. moody, emotional dance music for late nights and early mornings. one limited pressing - as before - first come, first served

crosstown rebels get set to unleash the power of the model feat. my favourite robot with a vampish feast of 80s proto-house in -still in my heart- followed by a playful epic rework from ivan smagghe and a dose of warped late night techno courtesy of two mesmerising brett johnson remixes. the model makes a storming entrance into the crosstown camp with the original of -still in my heart- spinning a circus of 80s inspired melodies, rave synths, techy bleeps and stabbing bass. my favourite robots soul-penetrating vocals nonchalantly weave a darker thread through the dizzy heights of electro stylings supplying a vein of moody romance
