niconé is back on stil vor talent with his very much loved project that has already brought us an absolute scorcher on stil vor talent before. again he features the wonderful vocal of narra on this hypnotically happy percussive house affair >caje<. the original track grooves on some free swinging percussions and a softly moving house loop making this a very subtle killer for any afterhour. while narras vocals carry the track as light as a feather it is after the breakdown that things get really musical! for the remixes stil vor talent has aligned a high-quality and diverse array of current top-notch producers. things go dark, minimal and very technological with pan-pots take on >caje< that still keeps a very soulful element in its approach. then, berlins coolest kid on the block adam port knows that every track gets better with a lot of claps-and he sure is right in his interpretation of >caje<. this is one of these tracks that sucks the listener in so deep that there is simply no escape: repetitive yet constantly changing and constantly grooving while remaining very pure! for his very soulful groove dirty doering adds some wonderfully melodic synths and guitars to his track that turn >caje< into an even more summery house affair. this release is filled with tracks that will long echo on the dancefloor!

dutch producer van dongen arrives back on audiomatique - almost 5 years since his first outing - hate to say o.k in 2006 - we welcome back his tough, refined and urgent electronic stylings. vulcanic ass gets straight to the point with a gyrating, cyclic attitude that simply cannot be ignored. bouncing bass, sharp drums and an anthemic pitching synth theme provide a blissful yet party-assured climax! barcelona boys audiofly hand in a dynamic and inventive remix that fuses live drum loops with drier, more resolute moments than the original. carefully engineered and executed, its a modern incarnation of the the duos earlier tech-house sound.

produced in 2004, this ep marks an essential shift in the production of stefan goldmann to his modus operandi as a dedicated innovator. he had adapted the barricade guise to induce some serious deviations into the techno realm. yet, heads werent ready and he simply continued under his real name with his major breakthrough works: perlons blood ep and the legendary sleepy hollow tune. hidden from the public, aleko and frantic had built a prototypic aesthetic of rough, concrete-space sounds - reduced dark, metallic percussion grooves, spring reverbs and degraded post-acidic synths. you name it where you heard this sound years later. its revealing how far ahead these tunes were at the time of their creation. they sound more now than many current tracks. aleko is the 4/4 techno version of this soundset, locked-in clonk patterns built around a nitrous bassline. frantic could be a future development to todays dubstep, if it wasnt its actual historic predecessor. add the schizophrenic bass excursion heliotrope and you have a package of painstaking relevance. back then the a&rs simply didnt get it - thats why it took 6 years and the formation of victoriaville to finally bring these gems to light

just a few minutes till impact. final approach, three, two, one… stephan bodzin and marc romboy aint no astronauts. they are first and foremost musicians, producers and long time friends. both would admit that arguing and talking music is as important as making it. together with their own long running imprints, systematic recordings and herzblut recordings, they have proven how to build up a distinct label sound. however, similar to some well-known astronauts, the word >luna< has a very special meaning to the musicians because its the name of marcs daughter and coincedently that of stephans wife as well. therefore it had been the obvious choice when they were looking for a fitting title name back in 2005. six years on, and the project nears its final touchdown and is honored with a an outstanding vinyl-set of six records!!! 16 different producers from all over the world take you to a musical orbit, starting in germany with moritz von oswald (basic channel, rhythm & sound), dominik eulberg, chris liebing, oliver huntemann, martin buttrich (desolat), roman flügel (dial) und robag wruhme (pampa records), continuing with speedy j (plus 8) from the netherlands, minilogue from sweden and even abe duque and brendon moeller from new york from the u.s.a.. an electronic transmission from the moon to the earth takes a little more than one second to cover the distance. but when listening to >luna<, you wont dare to think in minutes or seconds ignition sequence start, trois, deux, unité!

slamming three track ep, first track afro acid is a raw, noise (distortion effects) and dirty sounding with live feeling, not made for high fidelity people, really really raw... flipside is more for deep & jackin house lovers, especially b2 (freedom) is just a deep house masterpiece

the trio of moritz von oswald, max loderbauer (nsi / sun electric) and sasu ripatti (vladislav delay / luomo), with a third album, this time enriched and expanded by guitar contributions from paul st hilaire (also known as tikiman), and double bass courtesy of marc muellbauer (via ecm). horizontal structures is palpably a more open, more expressive album than the previous studio recording, vertical ascent. there is more contrast, more light and shade. st hilaire and muellbauer add fresh drama and swing to the intimate tonal and rhythmic interactions of the core grouping. the coherence of the five-piece is remarkable, the boundary between acoustic and electronic undone.

following the success of his debut ep, komisch is delighted to put out the next instalment from sp-x. like his first release, the three tracks on field lines never end capture the essence of contemporary techno - austere and functional, yet deeply resonating. field construction starts with crackle of a broken power cable accompanying brittle percussion and a juggernaut rhythm, before dank filters, distorted riffs and a combination of doubled up claps and hissing hats bring the track to an irresistibly dark climax. internalize follows a similar path, but straight away sp-x plots a more ominous course, with a muffled filter making way for jarring riffs, a grubby acid line and killer claps. last but certainly not least, flux is constructed using dense rhythms, deadweight, iron bar beats and a howling siren riff that sounds like it came from beyond. all the while, sp-xs rasping, firing percussion weaves in and out. these are deadly effective techno tracks, streamlined for use on big speakers - but dont take our word for it, try them out yourselves!

after the excellent received >deep, raw and real< part 1 and 2 (with the likes of motor city drum ensemble, stl and anton zap) its now time for more - part 3 and 4 are coming! we invited again some hot producers for some deep, raw and real tunes and the result is a fine mixture of contemporary global house music. part 3 features lukatron, the new project by the classic man luke solomon (as already heard on his full ep, quintessentials 17) and japanese wizard radiq, whos in peoples mind since his philpot release. the flipside offers the mighty cottam, famous for his self titled >cottam< releases plus up and coming deymare from finland. watch out for him and his releases on quintessentials, kindasoul and others.

brainiac kicks off with a dark and foreboding intro, then crashes into a powerful, rough and ready roller. menacing punchy beats, obscene chest thumping basslines and plenty of clever edits, guarantees this tune to maintain high energy levels in any club. this track can only described as absolutely devastating! the reverse side opens with a tense synthline that drops into fully charged neurofunk. although this track is more down tempo track, its sub warbling basslines, complimented by rattling percussion and steppy breaks, means legacy is sure to get the dancefloor swaggering.

malachais deb³talbum >the ugly side of love< war das au?ergew÷hnlichste und beste album, das aus der exzessiv kreativen szene bristols in 2009 hervorgegangen ist. dass das neue album >return to the ugly side< nun wie sein vorgõnger genau 14 prõgnante songs in prõzisen 35 minuten umfasst, sei dem puren zufall geschuldet, erzõhlt gee, der charismatische frontmann mit der schleppenden sandpapierstimme. dar³ber hinaus gibt es aber durchaus unterschiede. nat³rlich. >return to the ugly side< ist viel stõrker als das erste album von den hip hop-wurzeln der beiden bandmitglieder geprõgt. >der sound ist sehr viel runder geworden ohne dabei zu hi fi zu sein<, so scott. malachai, in ihrer leidenschaftlichen dualitõt - scott/gee, melodie/beats, vergangenheit/gegenwart, furcht/hoffnung, hõ?lich/sch÷n - sind ein neuer klassiker s³denglands geworden.

after the huge success of the catalogue number 005, formatic records has carved the next dance board. the beginning of the new year gives thanks to the constructing dj madskillz- presenting the bottom of a noble carnival-wagon, which drills itself through the castle walls of lethargy like a trojan horse. behind it the client in person jumps out of the bellies strong vehicle and brings the format:b remix, making even more tumult in the- without a doubt from luck traced- party bodies. the communal phenomenon that dj madskillz describes as >carnival chaos< is also being picked up by ramon tapia, who (as usual) bits the celebrating horse from behind making it spit fire in front during peak-time. a movement with pyrotechnical potential in the yet young post new-years-eve-2010-era. cheers!

roland appel is the well loved and respected producer and dj, based in southern germany. quickly recognised for his work for sonar kollektiv or compost, we are proud to announce his debut for poker flat recordings. the beautifully original and stand-out >fleurs du mal< is a classically themed masterpiece in the making. warm, phasing synth energies build before introducing cosmic choirs and bell melodies that blurs the boundaries between mysterious cult soundtrack and club bomb! the deep searchin >black leather< shows yet more techno promise with a brooding, textural synth at the centre of a full-on exploration into dark, tactile and satisfyingly underground territories. a true slow-burner, and a post tech-house killer in its own right, this detailed and accomplished cut forms the ideal futuristic backdrop to take us into 2011

3rd part with more pure phunkn house madness.

this is a bomb !! next strike on swedens kurbits records. already supported by axel boman, maya jane coles, reboot, laurent garnier and many more

echolettes second release manzanillo 002, follows up with a similar tropical -journey feeling- as felt on echolettes first release, perhaps setting the style for this excellent new label. whereas before it was pygmys and bongos, this time manzanillo has a distinctly more mexican, if not aztec vibe. the original mix kicks off with steady galloping horse like drums and percussion, which is suddenly met by a lovely melodic bassline, which again is doubled up with what sounds like a xylophone. just as your wondering where its all going, a wicked little riff with delayed minimal vocal slices enter the mix keeping the groove going on and on forever and ever... another brilliant and quality piece of music from jackie misfit
