its now more than 20 years that arnaud le texier started his dj career in the west of france and in the paris club scene. since he moved to london five years ago, le texier has been able to put his stamp on the european techno scene, being label head of safari electronique and regular dj at fabric. his debut ep for cocoon recordings is borne by le texiers deep understanding of melancholy melodies, especially >elusanes< with its piano keystrokes coming directly from the basement and the ample detroit strings proves with hymn-like intensity that deep sensuality and unquestioning dancefloor ecstasy can be two sides of the same medal. besides a beat-less version of >elusanes<, the hypnotic >nightleads< with its bass guitar theme does already whet your appetite for the next sunrise in the balearic dunes

every so often a new artist on the dumb unit roster steps up and bats one out of the park. case in point, our man from essen : tim querengaesser: aka pherox. the panthers walk ep is an expressive and bombastic ode to a night that goes boom! sultry lyrics voiced by tim himself and guest lee curtiss sit firmly over top of tims excellant and chugging under groove. the panthers walk is an exciting slab of music for any dj and one that will certainly bring pherox and his brand of funk into a more deserving light.

the process of receiving and listening to demos is akin to the proverbial needle in a haystack - poorly labeled cd’s or mp3’s are handed out indiscriminately like flyers for strip clubs in times square (circa 1970). “i really think you are going to like this,” or “all nude girls,” and “dj ‘x’ played this at space,” or “24 hours live sex show…!!” but in the end, just like the harsh reality of a stripper in daylight, the demos fall well short of anything mildly interesting and certainly nothing you would bring home to mom… until madato… from the first group of tracks he sent it was clear that a nice guy from naples had sent us the needle we had been looking for. “naples may not be a place one would consider to be particularly inspiring, from its outside appearance, chaos, and plenty of junk on the streets - it takes a deeper gaze, beyond, and into madato’s dream world. madato is always looking at what’s beyond the waste. inside his dream box you might find laura palmer making out with ian curtis, charles bukowski writing a fairy tale, or perhaps john nash singing along to bauhaus songs…” file under: trippy disco inspired dance music, not defined by a genre but more of an attitude. post-punk undertones mixed with psychedelic sensibility

the next release on claap is a joint venture between two label favourites. on side a, nikola galas >oasy< and >paradise (tool)< are two very tightly structured affairs! perfectly produced and oh so functional, they are another strong proof of the reasons for which nikola has been making waves in the scene for more than a decade. the overall feel in both tracks follows the same path along nikolas previous work on rekids and ibadan records, amongst others, along with releases on his own label escada music. we are also very glad to welcome a long time favourite john dimas. hailing from the beautiful city of thessaloniki in greece, john is a young and aspiring dj and producer who has been working with labels such as d julzs exciting bass culture. john has been steadily making a strong impression with his colourful, solid and passionate dj performances! >get it< is a very groovy, playful and smart track. reminiscent of older chicago house with a fresh touch. to round up the package, label head gummihz offers a disco orientated >get down mix...

2010 was an incredible successful year for nosferatu, with no doubt the biggest highlight of them all, hosting his own area at trillogy 2010! as a tribute to this night he hit the studio with some of his good and well - known friends in the scene, which resulted into this wonderful 4 tracker on enzyme records. the tracks sick of it all (feat. evil activities) and hate on yourself (feat. the viper) can already be called real floor fillers.poop (feat. ruffneck) and hope dissolves (feat. outblast) have a more experimental character, but they definitely know how to bring movement to every dance floor around the globe!

if you have been exposed to this cultural phenomenon called electronic music for more than a while, you will certainly have in mind something more than bright sunsets and perfect waves when you evocate that part of our awesome planet called california. the west coast has provided an own-harvested sound that strives to differ itself from surrounding mainstream conditions, making it fine and classy when it comes to underground house and techno music. alland byallo aint no rookie on the issue, rolling beats for enough years now to need no intruduction. with productions on labels like dirt crew, liebe detail, dirty bird, poker flat or nightlight music (allands own imprint) he can be well considered like the last but one exponent of a whole lineage of californian producers.

repress in black vinyl... clone west coast series continues with more hot releases! after tyrell and mr pauli its the hasbeens (tyrell & overdose) who deliver the heat!. this is as big as you can get it! we could do a lot of talking about the track and the daily struggle of human beings etc... but just listen. top production leaning on classic italo but in a new modern jacket with sharp production... the clone west coast sound :-) simply irresistible

incl lucy remix ! pfirter has delivered more than one immortal record since his first release on stockholm ltd in 2008, mindtrip music. his talent for strong and captivating music is widely appreciated and it didnt take long before he got picked up by labels like clr and figure. with his monad release on lucys stroboscopic artefacts label in 2010, pfirter charmed the hardcore audience. with both the party crowd and the critics on his side, juan pablo pfirter enters 2011 with his audiometria.

support by richie hawtin, super flu, gorge, toni rios, stephan bodzin, phonique, afrilounge, kombinat100 and many more. auf seinem versteckten spielplatz hat der fruehling bereits vollen einzug erhalten, die warme luft ist erfüllt von heiterem gelaechter und überall bewegen sich nackte fueße rhythmisch im grünen gras. was mollono.bass auf seinem debuetalbum zum besten gibt, offenbart nicht nur einen überaus entspannten charakter sondern auch eine sehr eigenständige und unverkrampfte definition von elektronischer tanzmusik

taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.

it seems that dapayk used to listen to a lot of hip-hop when he was younger. his latest ep for still vor talent >let go< has got these influences written all over it. the title track starts out with a male vocal and some sounds that sound a little like scratching before things then quickly head into the direction of the club. the vocal by singer camara could not be more reminiscent of 80s house music and this track has got all the soul and groove of this era. beneath the delicate vocal and sound patterns lies a wonderfully simply staccato house groove that is sure to get everyone shuffling. on the flip things get a little more techy with >nneka<, a deeper and more melodic tech house glider that gently takes the listener towards a harmonic state of mind. beautifully arpeggiated pads, a warm soulful groove and some reverbed vocals make this one. last up is the sample-based tech-house stomper >upyo< featuring production partner jon hester. this is loop heaven: a pushy beat loop with many snares, reverse samples and an unexpected saxophone melody make this one the perfect changeover track from warm-up to peak-time. this ep shows dapayks skills to combine many musical influences into his unique still of tech-house music

macro greets rhythmic expressionism: stefan goldmann’s “the grand hemiola” is the first real innovation in the vinyl format in years! 144 locked grooves build a toolkit that breaks out of the limitation of one 4/4 cycle and brings unique possiblities to create complex polyrhythms just with two decks and a mixer. stefan goldmann’s first ever double vinyl album is a take on the infinite possibilities of rhythmic layering. percussion-heavy, focussed on clashing metres, deeply exploring the sound set – from the orchestral “grand hemiola”, to the triplet-feel of “megi’s waltz”, from the 11/8 pattern of “double hendecagon” to the anti-loops of “away from the flock”: a unique, non-conformist album of haunted acoustics, haptic percussion and deep rhythmic expression. a true, first time invention comes on two sides of the vinyl set: “the grand hemiola” loop toolkit overcomes the time restriction of locked grooves: one record contains loops in 4/4, the other in 3/4 (employing the time differences of the rotation rates 33 and 45 rpm). in the mix, they sum up to an extended cycle of 3x 4/4 or 4x 3/4 and enable building complex “3 over 4” polyrhythms (“hemiolas”). you can mix loop into loop for hours without ever getting trapped. more than an album, this is a note: pitch down side d to approx. -1.5 to match the loops’ bpm rate on sides b & d

produced by harry choo-choo romero, vocals by inaya day, remixed by robbie rivera, live elements and pete heller, released on eric morillos subliminal label. double vinyl. need we say more?

glenn wilson turns up the screw on his compound platform with a three track dark pumping monster, eye ear drums is a dark hypnotic atmospheric work out with haunting voxs layered over thick drums and rolling throbbing baselines. note decryption rolls over more dark throbbing pulsing baselines in a more tough minimal style. the vault lays down some dirty atmospheric minimal rhythms before erupting into a metallic stabing workout...enjoy

after his successful first vinyl release as echtzeit on melted recordings (mtd.001), with very positive feedback by many djs, the producer frank rumpelt tried a different view on the theme (echtzeit now as title) in various styles of techno. 3 tracks - a bit more electro with harmonics - are listening music and dance floor compatible, too. plus 3 locked grooves we have 6 tracks on this vinyl. this record comes in a premium outer and inner sleeve cover. its a re-release from 2002 because so many demand this time!

the release of the fourth studio album from revered production duo booka shade last year was greeted with widespread praise from fans and press . imbued with not only an uncanny understanding of the dancefloor, but a sense of true musicianship, >more!< transcends contemporary club music, placing itself amongst a lineage of classic records. following the great success of previous single >regenerate<, the fourth and final single to be taken from the album is the scaramanga remix ep. one of the albums standout tracks, scramanga is reinvented by the duo themelves, as well an impressive host of remixers who twist and contort it into myriad shapes, each harnessing different facets of the original and shining a new light on them with their new visions. booka shade take on >scaramanga< themselves with their >manga mix<, re-appropriating the poignant and hypnotic foundations of the original to craft a nuanced and uplifting dancefloor hit. carried forward by the symbiotic interplay of the drums and bass, rhythmic chord progressions surge through the tracks core, unfurling beautifully. the vinyl package also features versions from uk-based producer reset robot and italian wunderkind dusty kid. reset robot pierces the vocal film with filtered synth stabs, giving the track an urgent propulsion which is bouyed by the swelling bass, while dusty kid strips away the layers to reveal a melancholic core, stretching it out over the ebb and flow of its nine minute duration

initial support comes in from pig & dan, paco osuna, tim xavier, richie hawtin, m.a.n.d.y, nic fanciulli, mauro picotto, slam, john digweed, chris fortier and omid/16b! the title to this ep >reminisce< gives us some idea as to feeling of these three tracks, as j alexander pays tribute to some of the late 80s and early 90s sounds that influenced him in his early days. however that said, his talents at blending the old and new together make this much more than a retro sounding ep!

this is third single cut from the debut album of mr raoul k “introducing my world . album was recorded in his hometown africa with local musician and raoul edited and reconstructed at his german studio. a side, >japan japon< is a simple but effective african minimal house stuff and >the green thing< is raouls slow mo house stuff. b side >rainning love< is bit darker and more trancy than usual.

after ellen alliens album >dust< kicked up a lot of the same in 2010, it was only a matter of time until the right remixers for the album were found. no less than the creme de la creme of today s house scene was allowed to have their way with these tracks. and the results are more than fitting. although we have already burned a full-length cd containing all of the remixes they created, we are not planning on leaving the vinyl-loving faction (or whats left of them) out in the cold either. this 12 inch features three powerful club tracks from three outstanding remixers. each unrivalled in their own space.

the fruhstucks sophomore release with racecar is a 180 degree turn from hats & cats. this is a far more refined yet purposely less polished release, still rife with emotion yet embodying a certain grace and maturation. much of this could be due to instrumentation. the fruhstucks have added strings to their vision with the addition of guitars by miguel boxerinlove and subsequently sutja gutierrez also plucking strings himself.

since the release of his debut >hyph mngo< that swept the global dance music world in 2009, british producer peter o grady (aka orbison) makes his return on hotflush recordings as joy o in 2011. these two productions take a more straightforward approach, toeing along the lines of classic house music, infused with this talented producers own signature style, weaving rolling acidic basslines in >wade in< and uplifting melodies in >jels< and over shuffling roland drums and blissful atmospherics....

marco zenker, the wonderboy from munich is up and looking for freedom again with his second record on ilian tape. invisible shadows was discovered by ourselves on the last ilian tape warehouse party back last year. when we heard it the first time on a big system - even marco himself - we were pretty surprised. its building up slowly and leads into a very open space - the perfect track to give the night another direction. remain silent after you heard that side and open your ears for the b side that sends us into a different sphere. here we go down. you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne - it has the same vibe as osho ashram s back then hosted by f. fuhlert. finally we have a tripping remix from one of the hottest dutch guys at the moment - conforce. known for his releases on meanwhile, delsin or rush hour he shows once again why holland is thechicago of europe. its just free spirited, soulful and openminded. qualities we are missing here more or less in bavaria. so we are trying to open up and change things. the time will come. kiss
