finally time again for some new joints by dirt crew themselves, our fresh ep! after this years very succesful remix twelve inch on moodmusic we are happy to bring you more old school flavoured house. these five tracks are praising the original early nineties house spirit, the sound we so deeply love ourselves and kept on pushing in our dj sets around the globe in the past years. enjoy!

new chain is the debut long-player from new york s small black. richly coloured and thickly layered, it is an absorbing, eclectic and obsessive body of work. the brooklyn group have succeeded in melting together locked and popped drum-shudder, gauzy spirographic synths and subtly contagious, half-remembered melody into ebullient bursts of evocative, subliminal and thoroughly modern pop. the songs are equally informed by the rhythmic bounce and stylistic swagger of more left-leaning contemporary radio rap and r n b as it is the submerged kaleidoscopic swirl of the early 4ad dream factory.
digital download-code included.

cab drivers have not lost any of their innovative standards. the sound is linear, fresh and technically mature - coming back for more.

outsider just rocks big time and is pure 2010 techno with more than a bite !

jatoma are all about the unknown and though they are new amongst us they remain cloaked in paradoxes and already questioned by many. some think that one of the members is a famed producer amongst 2 genius teenagers.
others project they are a side act for a band held in the highest regard. some will speculate they are just trying to get more attention by remaining unknown. the facts remain blurry and ambiguous but there remains an clear authenticity surrounding these factors - jatoma are clearly one of 2010s most inventive new acts our ears have had the pleasure to hear and its with our excitement we welcome them to kompakt. so enter their self-titled debut full length - >jatoma<.

public lover (ninca leece & bruno pronsato) return with another single aimed at bringing you into their humid world of dance music. naked figures is a bassline-driven story drunk on percussion and beauty. a track built on abstraction and elegance. a track quiet literally naked from its humble beginning to its anti-climactic ending. it’s an unassuming journey of class. it’s ninca & bruno uttering scenes of nakedness and dim lights… but is it a love song? we think not. it’s not about a one night stand either. it’s simple. it’s funk. it’s house. it’s techno. more importantly, it’s about making you dance. on the b-side, one half of the duo, bruno pronsato, steps up for remix duties.

even though youre with another girl is the amazing second single to be taken from trentemoellers stunning new album >into the great wide yonder<.after the huge reaction to the beautiful longplayer, which mixes classic trentemoeller production mastery with more of an analogue, song based, indie-feel,its time to carry on with this intriguing set of remixes.side by side comes a hot 12inch that features remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse and pantha du prince.the kollektives half of the record slaps a heavy dose of deep,dark funk into the mix, with this ingenious lo-slung version. postminimal-punk electronic drums meet warbling synths and reduced,subliminal use of the vocals in a delicate and stylish mixture of pop-meets-deepest-electronica.dials man of the hour pantha du prince creates a typically high-end remix based on his trademark twinkling melodies and warmly grooving understated beats.the dub version twists and turns with unpredictable laid-back intensity as a rousing chorus of strings and harmonic elements fuse under dubbed out vocal elements.

supported by: angel molina, david mothersole, dj tlr, paul woolford, simbad, jörn werner, franck roger, fabrice lig, will o brien, hakim murphy, esther duijn,.. >my electronic soul< is probably one of franco cangellis most personal tracks. slow and almost sensual 909 drums create a sonic canvas on which soulful pads and elegant melodies create a timeless electronic ballad reminiscent of early chicago deep house combined with the melancholy of detroit. as the title suggests, this track pretty much exposes francos true roots and is an ode to those long lost and almost forgotten days. >house for brunch< is another deep house offering with more detroit melodics

triple visions flagship label planet rhythm is going on strong with another blasting techno release. a.paul is next in line releasing for the planet under his other famous alter ego: loudon kleer which he uses for his releases on labels like parallel 125 records, synewave and dirty ego records to name just a few. while his a.paul releases are strictly banging releases for the dancefloor, loudon kleer takes us into the darkside of his mind. although he takes you straight into the dungeons of techno, in de dungeons they also like to dance. the crazy funky edits and shuffles into the beats make sure the feet will move according the rhythm. yes planet rhythm is fully ruling the scene like we used to and get ready for more strictly techno soon!

another slice of forward thinking electronic west coast dub w/a burial mix vibe w/remixes by berlins elusive suspect & ruoho ruotsi. kush arora takes a more dubstep approach, for a nice twist.

released on the always reliable hit farm neon gold, which has given the world marina & the diamonds, ellie goulding, your twenties and penguin prison among others, starsmith is a super-hip young producer who has worked with ellie on her album, as well as remixing marina, passion pit, nerd and loads of others. its a scorching electro-tinged pop demon, glam without the cheese, and reminiscent of the kind of smashes that the french house lords of the mid 90s (like fred falke and alan braxe - more on him later...) were ruling dance music with. great sample from an old ritchie family (clip below...) disco stomper from the 80s which powers the whole thing with a undeniable hands-in-the-air vibe. a big autumn hit!

we are proud to present the very first release on our new label, colourful recordings. home of swedish producer and dj tobias linden a.k.a orange muse, we are excited about whats to come. the original mix represents the new sound of tobias, a driving hypnotic affair with an electrified spoken word delivery from fresh upstart ania. grace jones anyone?! on remix duties we have rocco, quentin harris and honey dijon stepping out of their game! roccos mix, a deep haunting groove with thumping kick and quirky effects sets it apart from his more soulful work, strictly for the floor this one. quentin harris and honey dijons mix reminiscence of sound factory glory, serving up a serious percussive workout with big drums climaxing in a strings breakdown to release the tension.

be prepared to be wowed, as crosstown rebels deliver a serious slice of hot new music from new talent russ yallop aka rusty james. >i cant wait< and >rock me< are two infectious cuts with massive appeal. combining the magnetism of disco with the raw energy of contemporary house music, russ yallop produces a fresh take on a trusted formula. a side >i cant wait< is unforgettable for its contagious bassline, flirtatious vocal cries, cosmological synths and perpetual breakdowns. with just as much appeal and even more originality, b side >rock me< leans on funk laden stabs chopped into sonic grooves and humming vocals, drawing towards a beautiful, driving climax that rocks like a mutha

with support by john selway, stephan bodzin, perc, technasia, xhin, tony rohr, dean facer and many more. the catalogue number 013 on the berlin label phunkit records is at the same time the starting shot for the first vinyl release. and exactly this one shows down-to-earth techno from the capital, elaborated and cunning, by the artist duo takt tick. the actual overhead conveyors and host djs from the tresor club present trend-setting productions. the name >u1< is, brought to the point, a little journey through the time of berlins underground. the a1 side sends the listener on a trip which is coined by dynamical passages of highs and crispy bass parts. uncompromisingly does the rhythm chase around the focused, flogging consonance and the slowly modulated intervals with short breaks. on the b side: >whisper<, a subtle peak-time monster which does not know any kind of holdup, full of energy and only waiting for the chance to make the strobes lose their wind. >black worms is a b2-bomber for sure. with its dusky sounds, it is solidly rolling without downward movement. shady, resonant, consequent and remorseless.

>trippin< is a bit of a sonic departure for alex niggemann showing a more mature sound with a nod to the old skool. the result is a big dancefloor track that will further increase the young producers rising profile. rio padice gives a taster for his forthcoming solo ep on tsuba with >uptown street<, a raw yet very warm deep house cut made purely with machine

remain 010 - shot on purpose ep has arrived in time to mark the third anniversary of the label. boss axel karakasis, on top form, signs the three magnificent tracks included which have already been favoured by many djs worldwide, including the likes of umek, blah, blah, blah.. on the main side, blue ringed is one powerful track that delivers techno in its true brilliance. both axel and remain deserve big kudos for this track, as it cleverly combines full frontal samples, slamming workout and cuts filled with breakbeat-like motifs, opening up the doors to fresh, unconventional music. shot on purpose features a composition of killer bassline, hissing hats and electro-swept analogue sounds that is well functional and delivers even to the most demanding audiences. with broken on the remain side insane rolling techno and a haunting whistle melody make up a classic theme and a winner recipe for any headliner. an absolute must-have and a guaranteed favourite! early support by : umek, the advent, cristian varela, a paul and more

new york, chicago, detroit? nop, boring shizzle!! just try miami!! sun, butts, flamingos and music! only an idiot can think this way! the bar is for sure the answer to the question: what is the most important part of the house? so what is more obvious than crowning a house-track with a vocal by the person who enhances life to the bar and to the party as well as the dj? luna city express wants to build a monument for the ones bearing this responsible task and say thank you, together with enliven deep acoustics. they want to pay homage to the person every visitors welfare depends on! so just imagine the bartender not only leverages your drinkable luck but also sings for you! not only sing, just utterly make the party to an unforgettable experience which makes the dancefloor to a trivial idea. everybody who is pleasured by this record is forced by associations which will make her or him hugging the person behind the bar!!

monsieur guillaume berroyer — the infamous ark — recently underwent a sort of sea change in both his artistic and personal life. anyone following his career with even a passing interest knows of his long resume (collabs with pepe bradock and cabanne, dolibox, mika weill, releases on brif, karat, circus company, perlon…) and has heard tales of the studio fire and the creative energy shift and all of the stories associated with his frenzied live performances and dj gigs. great stories are fun and build mystique, but as most heads know the music more than measures up to the legend. his recent >arkpocalypse now< full-length showed a matured craftsman that is not so much waxing introspective as he is distilling his signature sound into something manageable enough to truly adapt to all of his musical tastes.

06hr-vinyl has seen strong support globally with many well respected and beloved djs playing the release, which includes the likes of richie hawtin, dubfire, cari lekebusch, anja schneider, todd bodine, 2000 and one, dj hell, and 16 bit lolitas. this year has seen hidden recordings make a dramatic impact in the world of techno with this release featuring remixes from ambivalent (minus), argenis brito (cadenza) and alexi delano (drumcode/adny/clink) and upcoming releases featuring remixes from in-demand artists such as john tejada, rene breitbarth, and dj qu, with many more lined up to close out 2010 and kick off 2011. additional support for our music has come from magda, troy pierce, craig richards, paco osuna, cari lekebusch, speedy j, stephan bodzin and tim xavier. the label has also been featured on carl cox global radio show, showcased on sweatlodge berlin and written up in time out new york, ibiza voice, big shot magazine and techno travelers.

croatian nu-disco/funk/boogie overlord ilija rudman has swung by around here. once more he is spinning his audio gems on the legendary bearfunk label. this time is the ever so funky new release soul embrace . ilija gets his niles rogers hat on and peppers this sparkler with chingy-funk guitar. add in some big rolling, dx-style, chugger bass and lashes of darting percussion and there you have it...floor-filler dynamite. the original mix and the spectacularly 80 s styled extended mix make an appearance. our man also goes straight for the beat jugular with his drum, beat and percussion heavy bonus beats mix. to round things off, label head bear, stevie kotey, takes on the remix duties. he brings some real bass along to the party and new layers of slick keys. turning down the floor quotient just a notch, this one is pure slow-burn disco done well, very well.

tornado wallace has had a great 12 months following his debut release paddlin on delusions put him firmly on the map of heavyweight young producers to watch. subsequent remixes for home taping is killing music, future classic and detroit label kolour have pushed him further to the forefront of deep and dubby slomo house scene. always twirling spins into action with driving 16th note hats, compressed pads and soaring strings. 808 snare fills rattle throughout and a warm, dubby bassline provides the speaker-troubling low end. twirl and the beanstalk goes for a more heads down, bare beats and bass approach resulting in an intense, floor friendly track that grooves extra hard. finally, we have whispering twirl, a sumptuous slice of midtempo deepness with a hint of boogie and a dash of soul

the more dedicated amongst you may have noticed a very limited run of purple labelled 12s doing the rounds earlier this year bearing only the roman numeral for 1990, and comprising of two reworked club classics from the year in question well... this time we are looking back at 1987 hard to believe club music this sophisticated sprang forth from the most rudimentary equipment available it truly was a pioneering age - and its testimony to the enduring power of these raw, formative grooves that they can still easily carry a dancefloor four tracks then ranging from slamming chicago jams, to drug addled english basement music all respectfully rewired for a new generation

pruitt igoe is more than a post-modern icon, it represents an ancestral movement of hope and disillusion, of perfectly planned models and evaporated dreams

new yorks elon provides metroline with yet another very fine release. clap back is a real gem. the original mix has a beautiful spacious and airy mix that allows the echo-soaked toms and the swirling vox stabs to breathe, and they really draw you in. an insistent bass pulse provides a structure for the snappy post-garage percussion to build into a lurching, lunging rhythm. very original, and very infectious. ekkohaus remix is a focused, driving deep house groove, shaped around lush, rounded stabs and heavily-filtered synths. claps and snare emerge from the beautifully balanced mix to give the track a real disco kick. the third track on the ep zero gravity has a more back-to-basics feel. the bassline is dubby, but the percussion has a classic french touch feel that gives the track real movement. a rhodes-like synth line wraps itself round the track like a warm fuzzy blanket. maximum comfort for house heads.

dixie yure is the incarnation of contemporary oldschool house music from seville. after some digital only releases it is about time for some haptic experience. with the 10“ record „show me satisfaction“ on berlin-based label fenou his sound is rotating on turntables for the first time. monotonous minimalism ain’t dixie yures world. the sound tends more towards 2step and builds a homogeneous and pleasant mixture with classical house elements and vocal parts. you just cant deny yourself dancing the >chicken dance< and stepping like hell! thanks to the funky improvisations extending over the whole track you wont get bored even after listening to >show me< for the hundredth time. the a-side is just fun - in the club as well as on your couch. you wont miss the low-pitched vocals on the b-side either as they are typical for the spanish producer. >satisfaction< is a little more reduced than >show me< but is enhanced with jazz elements such as pianos and saxophones. it shows that wind instruments in electronic music dont have to be annoying tribal elements. in this example acoustic instruments do not just get mixed up with house music but merge to one groove – absolutely rocking tune!
