as an added incentive, >give me pain<, another key track on the album, receives the mikael strav÷strand treatment, resulting in what can only be described as a real and truly hypnotic tour de force. so yes, it should really be thanks for everything...already in the flight cases of...: chloe, james holden, dj t, kiki, tim green, slam, martin eyerer, tiefschwarz, gregor tresher, brendon moeller, dan ny tenaglia, jeremy p caulfield, allan byalloà

already played by: adam beyer, gel abril, len faki, joseph capriati, alan fitzpatrick, edit select, luke slater, dustin zahn, mihalis safras, secret cinema, paco osuna...!!! touched hits the road with another strong release. this time with a power production by bessioud mohamed khaled aka >m0h< from canada, as well as two great remixes by gary beck! no need to introduce gary beck, since hes made his name during the last years and earned massive respect by putting out music on labels such as: soma, edit-select, minus, figure & many more! m0hs tracks come along in a powerful but very multilateral way, which makes us confident, that you will hear more of this guy in the future!

the solid tumbling tones found on this ep are all thats needed as an introduction to these two accomplished producers latest creation. both strong forces in their own right, the pair come together once again on sweatshop to present their vision of dancefloor harmony, and mystery! sirens is the aptly titled track whose crazy vibe is encapsulated by jacking, swinging percussion, wild pitching synth stabs and a haunting soprano soloist letting loose! this needs to be experienced to be believed, but the proof will be in the dancefloor, hands in the air and minds expanded! moirae works the tension with dense filtered stabs and crisp solid state percussion, driving this deep slab of dark dance into blissful moments of release. mellow yet urgent, its a raw, purist electronic statement! joel alter also offers up a special edit which focuses the groove in a slightly more kinetic direction, with reduced, aquatic synth work and a classic club energy that makes it an ideal addition to the package.

inally, this club smasher from londons underground blog merchants venom and damage is due for release! having cut their teeth in londons gutter house bass movement with tracks like >love in the club<, >paradise slugs< and their >maximum carnage< mixtapes, venom and damage drop a new take on the uks house sound, in the form of >deeper<. its hard edged production, syncopated rhythms and anthem-like synths are recognisable from a mile off and are no doubt what has been causing such a stir in the clubs. if youve seen modeselektor any time in the past 12 months, chances are youve gone nuts to this track – so big, the guys included it as a focal point of their recent global live sets, and featured it on their resident advisor podcast. it has also and gained support from djs such as adam freeland, marcus nasty, martyn, brodinski, jackmaster, xxxy, julio bashmore and more. deeper becomes the first release on the ten thousand yen imprint, co-run by the uks rising star doc daneeka and its the man himself who delivers on remix duties, keeping the strong melodic feel, but giving it that more oppressive basement vibe.

nice price deal !!! great track (boom) with underworld feeling ... supported by ivan smagghe, laurent garnier, gino s, dave ellesmere, tony rohr and more

nice price deal !!! this is dasein, the opening potion of milyoos (aka tommy wilson) debut ep and the second release on subeenas new opit records. dasein attempts to grapple with existence, temporality and substance and what could be a more perfect description of these warped sonics- perpetual motion purely of the moment. multitude makes you feel like a tourist at an off-world bazaar, a strange landscape with a slug-bass bubble undercarriage and inquisitive wide-eyed synths. fayoh leads in with in a harold budd doing house piano before being pounced on by clipped vocal tics and odd blocks of cubist sound all underpinned by a funky beat and quite frankly its gorgeous. if there is a strand of coherence across the ep then its an almost exotic one- these are curiosities, virtual ships in bottles, they are not narrative pieces even if they are in constant motion. only two releases in and opit records is clearly going to avoid easy categorisation- milyoos debut is something to get mighty excited about and i await further transmissions with baited breath...

reference (planet e / echospace / beretta) consists of the detroit-based artists luke hess & brian kage. in the first reference vs project we squeezed some of the party out of seth troxler and some of the percussion expertise from ryan crosson to create the still sought after tracks >the fade< and >the bumps<. in the second installment of our reference vs series we wanted to get a bit more soulful, & deep with the music, and highlight two of the worlds finest dub techno artists - stephen hitchell (cv313) and marko furstenburg (surphase). stephen hitchell aka cv313 is first a sound engineer. his experiments with synthesis create a warm, ethereal, and organic analog sound all his own. in the reference vs projects we seek to extract the natural strengths of the artist. when we received the files from stephen we knew we were packing heat! we structured our zone around the life-like chord structure that cv313 so effortlessly creates and gave it some more dance floor flavor. we believe the track titled >the wake< will fill dance-floors over the summer months on the beach as well as in the clubs. what can we say. markos shuffled dub stab style has been in demand since the artist started releasing on thinner back in 2002. mr. fürstenbergs deep and emotional music is an extension of his character. we were happy to receive what we expected from marko, super percussive, cavernous, and soulful soundscapes. again we referenced the package out with some drones, new analog rhythms, and eureka. the zone continues relentlessly in >the swell< to carry the dancer through the night into another summer day in the sun

after fter the much acclaimed first release on version by timeblind, version002 features 2 mesmerizing 808 workouts from label boss orson himself. >madness< opens on a atmospheric tip only to switch into eruptive wall shaking subs and syncopated percussions. >808 dub< on the flip is a swinging late night groove with swirling fragments of dub and jungle echoing in and out of the mix. he has been one of the pioneers to push the blossoming sound of dubstep outside of the uk from early on. hes been running his version events since 2005 with guests like digital mystikz, skream, loefah, kode 9, benny ill and many more. orson is known for his exclusive upfront dubplate selection and has played at such legendary events as the mighty >dmz< dance in brixton in early 2008 and 2009, the >big apple records< christmas party and at >dubwar< in new york. the future looks promising for orsons productions, he has been busy in his own studio aswell as working on beats with the likes of benny ill of horsepower productions (one collabo tune will be out on tempa very soon), mala from digital mystikz and sgt pokes. dj support by : appleblim, dj chef, clouds, bunzero, hops, dj skratch and many more. roundtable discussion in de:bug mag with mark ernestus, shackleton, kode 9, pinch and orson

ultraphat remixes by reboot & michel cleis!!! reboot starts with a drivin percussive floormonster !! the flipside by michel cleis, whose hypnotic >la mezcla< ruled the last season in ibiza, is more complex in the depth of its sound: with sensual quotes from a hammond organ and a lot of sound effects on the vocal track, cleis celebrates a form of soul-soaked techno jazz, whose perfection and versatileness rather could have been expected from a producer from the likes of carl craig.

it is no secret that the 1980s was probably one of the best decades. 1986 was in particular a very memorable and historic year across the world. it also happens to be the year delete was born and the name of the groove laden a-side. >1986< does not boast any sci-fi effects or other worldly sounds, it does however have one of the catchiest bass lines out there. >our generation< pours a real telltale chicago house vibe, complete with derrick carter style vocals and a bone-chillingly infectious four-note pad melody. this is eyes closed, hands in the air euphoric house. the 12 inch rounds out with delete still showcasing his knack for creating funky bass lines with, >lunchbox<. this number runs a bit deeper than the first two tracks, as it is rolled along by little percussion edits and snippets that evoke a more subtle laid-back vibe.

marbert rocel is a band and you can hear it! their live performances are more than a normal electronic act. on compost where the first marbert rocel album was released, they already revealed their feeling for emotional house ballads and jazzy sounds. on fenou they follow this way in a more experimental kind of art. marbert rocelÆs cosy sound is perfect for sunny hours or those before

mikkel metal aka mikkel meldgaard is back on echocord with a new powerfull ep. after the latest succesfull full length album with tikiman here comes the next ep on >passenger ep< mikkel metal tries explores new facets of his sound and take a detour from the dub-technom, thats his usual trademark. while obviously still retaining a metal-signature, theres an opening towards a more raw dirty detroit sound here, thats clearly new to his production. opening track >further< is slow tough track with a heavy kickdrum and simple theme. in its austerity it might actually remind one of very early metal productions like >eight< from echocord 01. remaing tracks >no stars today< and >i dream< both build on a dirty simple groove and layers synths and distorted themes on top.

big with: basic soul unit, ame, ingo sõnger, oliver hafenbauer, dixon, sevensol, dirk rumpf,roland appel,.. back from the initial mild pitch release >this feeling< last year, ribn deliver their overdue follow-up entitled >light black ep< - three tracks as ambivalent as the title suggests! the title track is a mesmerizing house/technohybrid of colourful darkness, reminiscent of classic early ribn releases: meandering synths and hypnotic sound fragments crawl around a stomping beat while the crunchy bass loop keeps moving things forward irresistably. first up on the flip side is >sin & figs<, a warm and pathetic summer gem that is destined to soundtrack any sunrise over the next couple of months. rich layer textures and sweet little melodies make this piece one of the most emotional moments of the mild pitch catalogue to date. closing the ep on b2 is >stonedrum<, a slow-motion house treat with oddly pitched vocals, a subtle groove and heavy low-end. its masked and fragile funkyness and crackling background noises complete a complex image that requires more attention than a 30-seconds preview clip to get a clue..

here we have a double a-side 12-inch, with an intriguing new development of the secondo sound. still banging, still aimed at the club but with a sense of maturity and laid-backness, that the previous secondo material for dreck records might not have been centred around. the whole outlook has become more house orientated and we are very excited about this new mixture of the secondo splice-funk with the steadiness of early 90s house generating its own idiosyncratic sound. on the a-side, i think im gonna likeestablishes the housey mood of the 12straight off. a brief vocal sample is dotted over a relaxed rhythm until a break mid-track introduces the second half to its full extent and bloom. ædoktor panglosson the b-side continues with the mid-tempo flavour set out by the aside and is defined by a steady build up towards a disco sample beautifully placed towards the end of the track, where a heavy bass line cuts short the euphoria of disco strings. the sampling and references in both tracks have been pushed to the background and mentioning any of them would not do this exciting new material any justice. its all fresh!

cave paintings is a new imprint dedicated to rough as you like machine music that lives somewhere in techno, house and ebm territory. all the tracks are done live in one take on old analogue boxes for a loose, organic and spontaneous feel that its impossible to capture when using computers. for the same kind of reason these are only available on 12. the mastering and the vinyl itself are an integral part of the sound. on this first release side x is a ten minute straight-up bass-heavy skeletal club groove with hints of a latin vibe about it and side y is more grinding and pounding in a nitzer ebb on quaaludes fashion, relentlessly developing for a full fourteen minutes

the original crazy meera is an afro balearic floorfiller that sounds a bit like metro area gone tropical, while the pete herbert remix is more of an italo styled booty shaker ready to bring down the house!

b2 is where it all started with van rivers >wood sequence< track given the remix treatment by dvs1 and still maintaining its original deep and dubby vibe with its mesmerising synth stabs and space chord echo fx, job well done!

groove charts # 3 !!! >sex ×technology = the future< ( jg ballard) wires are the arteries of the modern world, connecting and supplying practically everything that defines our lives. we channel our desires like an electrical current through our machines. musically, the concept is about drawing together the different strands, from techno and minimal to house to ambient and experimental. there is a common thread that runs through these different genres, linking them like the roots of a tree. this diversity is what keeps everything fresh for me. the >raudive< project explores techno and minimal, further releases will feature >atlas<, a new project created by myself and co-producer tommy gillard which moves into more detroit house territory. later there will be music from >zov zov< music that references pan sonic, coil and sunno))).

its a bakers dozen for ray mangs ever reliable mangled imprint! despite being more than adept at mining out long lost classics & wielding the edit scissors, ray has asked us to make it clear that this ep, much like the last couple of mangled releases are original works (sure there are a few samples here and there, but hey!) what you can be sure of is that this mighty trio are super effective where it counts, thoroughly road-tested and very much in demand as with everything on mangled the revived label and rays recent smash on dfa, not to mention his accomplished dj sets, has pushed him back to the forefront of a scene he was instrumental in forming. having been behind a plethora of releases on cult uk nu-disco labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc over the years he has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more.

dj duke, unsung hero of deep house ingenuity, receives a deserved and absolutely essential reissue from nycs slow to speak imprint. one of the lost masters of the abundant deep house community of the early 1990s, duke epitomized the queen-infused, deeply fierce insular dialogue of new yorks most outcaste underground. part of his ode to deep house staples of yesteryear lost, >heard< live up to their namesake, instrumental electronic masterpieces that disregard the concerns of conventional standardization while retaining the indisputable efficacy of nys exploratory antiestablishment. emotive, depthtful and totally accessible, >core 1995< is the first re-visitation of forward-looking genius that will continue to epitomize slow to speaks retroactive genius, speaking more to the potential inventiveness of dance music than its former vivacity. highly recommended.

we will get more stock on friday 21th of may !!! brand new ep from sigha on hotflush recordings, a producer who has made quite a name for himself since affiliating himself with the hotflush family. deep, intricate and atmospheric techno is sighas style and this has to be a collection of his strongest music to date. absolutely awesome ep, dont sleep on this

worship recordings with another solid ep release, this time featuring cuts from chris udoh and gary beck. udoh is up first with >hear da muzik<, a driving house gem with a definite dubby flavor, as delays are left to run over solid drum patterns, strong chords, and a rumbling bassline. on the reverse, gary beck keeps the dubby house theme rolling with >stick to the reggae<, which has more of a skank to its rhythm, as dubby delays are again left to exploit stellar percussion, stabbing horns, and a wandering bassline.

worship keep their string of great releases going with this newie from seinan. >glow< is a bouncing dubby houser of the first order, with a killer bassline underpinning great drums, stabbing horns and guitar riff, and the ever-present reggae vibe on this superb dub excursion. on the reverse, >dubberware< is another bubbling dubby house gem, this time with a bit more emphasis on the house than the dub, with superb percussion, shuffling beats, and dubby guitar licks all combining atop another dubbed out bassline.
