played by c-rock, d julz, gregor tresher, 2000 and one, minilogue and many more… like no other german producer, hannover-born martin buttrich has been decisively influencing the sound aesthetics of electronic dance music since the middle of the nineties. having been more in the background for most of the time while working for and with timo maas and loco dice among others, his benchmark releases for carl craigs label planet e or poker flat have also spotlighted his original name in the public. buttrichs second ep for cocoon couldnt prove better his prediction that in 2008, minimal techno will be containing more warm and melodic components. strangely familiar but always surprising, again and i lost my wallet provide us with bassprone reduction somewhere in between techno and house, and harmony bits that remind of caribbean calypso sounds provide the feeling of the approaching summer which makes both tracks perfect for the final of the open air season 2008. at least, buttrich will be an integral part of the season closing between ibiza main river and spree.

for this seventh release samuel let someone else bring the music, and it s actually the first time since he started klap klap for a bit more then two years ago. claudio mate has really delivered something special here, and you can hear in the title what he s going for. it s classic detroit techno made for 2008. warm and rich melodies combined with funky and driving percussion. it comes in three versions that are connected but still has their own stories. should appeal to all those who appreciates things that is made with lust and passion

peaktime goodness built for the dancefloor. >k5000< expect some manipulated beats with an amazing drive ending up with a climax of snares, this has all the right ingredients to make it another einmusik classic. we defy anyone to stand still when this one drops >ehrfurcht< has more epic proportions with delicate and subtle layers of melody washing around a threathening bassline... one hell of a mental track

spanish electronica label semantica brings part two of this limited release by vladislav delay, and this time its the turn of the remixers. andy stott (modern love) stretches the original out into a typically deep and tweaked out dub-tronica version, while fibla (spa.rk, expanding, quatermass) makes a somewhat gentler and more melodic piece. very nice

over the past few years john tejada has been splitting his time working with long time collaborator arian leviste and more recent collaborator justin maxwell. why not combine all 3? palette all-stars is just that. a collaboration between the 3 main palette artists, each (tejada, leviste and maxwell) playing a particular role in each song. from the ep opener, >after school special< you get a sense of the trio each working on a particular element. tejada’s driving drums, maxwell’s modular synth work, and leviste’s bassline elements sculpt a driving track with a classic feel. >the pilot< features leviste’s smooth melodic synth work while maxwell processes through the modular and tejada privides the dubby beats. the ep finisher >downtown hotel< features a mad maxwell modular freakout and driving 808 s

played by jesse rose, incl, monster-remix by frankie !! well, it might be frozen up north, but that doesn’t stop jussi-pekka to keep the jackers coming! our man from nokia has a long list of releases, and his first release for floppy funk is another cracker. >regression< is a magic old school slightly acid house track. >depression< is more modern and techno, keeping a deep edge. the >regression< remix courtesy of frankie (the man who keeps jackin and freakin with his franke label) is another fine crazy tune to go nuts!

is there more to life than house music? for the swedish dj/producer mikael nordgren: probably not. since 2004, he has been steadily churning out some of the best future house tunes from his studio located in stockholm. his productions have been released under many aliases including dmalicious, 12th floor and for get physical under the mighty moniker of tiger stripes. the blacker the music, the sweater the sound. a potential anecdote that fittingly could have inspired mikael when he composed the warm and supple portion of detroit fueled funk that is, blackroom entertainment. yet another presentation of his programming prowess and ability to mold and mend melodies into a sophisticated groove. especially utilizing his signature catchy drums to get the vibe going, then introducing a melodic synth stab before the track takes you away with complex variations of rhythmic lead sounds. abacus may remind listeners of his stellar mad at me ep released last fall on get physical - albeit reformed with a more analog approach. springing tones get the groove rolling before it is taken over by a cabal of sci-fi sounds, at which point a thick, modulated analog bass sound ups the overall energy. the lack of audio imagery is little if none, as the sounds invoke so many moods, feelings and sensations that only a seasoned dj and knowledgeable producer could fabricate such a convincing theme. blackroom entertainment ep again showcases mikaels ability as a formidable contributor to house music

the 1st release of the swiss/argentinian label: dilek records, is produced by the argentinian franco bianco and his mola ep. the artists that are offering us their remixes, are the new yorker tony rohr (rompecabeza/kiddaz fm) with his more dancefloor version and the french bloody mary (toys for boys/einmaleins/sender) with her feminine and deep touch. three cuts of minimal techno house produced in a balanced and prolix way, directly focused for the dancefloor

while for many of his contemporaries repetition became a new standard rather than innovation, jacek sienkiewicz with every release seems to be broading his musical horizons and challenging new territories. beacon seems to be even more organic than previous recognition releases, and the warm, yet unstoppable beat workout suddenly goes all jazzy and cinematic, with irresistible saxophone hook. big surprise here, but jacek blends the sounds into one of his trademark, 12+ minutes long, massive club anthem. another surprise is brought by the flipside - this remix is courtesy of the man of the moment michel bauman, here applying his soulphiction alter ego to dark, smoky and very tropical variation on a familiar theme. all over, another very impressive release from jacek sienkiewicz, man who never fails to impress.

mega-hit! support: ellen allien, karotte, matt john, kiki, andre crom, marco resmann aka phage, thomas muller, mr. statik and many more...

after his successful first release on wavetec, entitled >deep joy ep<, madrid-based producer tony lionni (also on versatile, mulemusiq) returns with a much-anticipated new ep, >mamadu<. this album brilliantly demonstrates lionni s musical production talent ranging from techno, dub, to progressive, acid and deep tech-house. the title >mamadu< is a sure reference to the warm, melodic techno inspired by afro rhythms that are layered over the abstract electronic tunes and minimalistic soundscapes on this ep. the title track evolves into a fast-paced atmospheric techno journey, while >deep odyssey< merges haunting deep-house rhythms with a dubbier flavor more in the vein of the deep space-sound developed by francois k
