psq005 is furesshus follow up 12 inch release to last years trio of tracks (psq002) that garnered attention from ben klock, sigha and marcel dettmann, who continues to play out his music regularly. furesshus bleak and powerful remix of l-ow (psq003) has been criminally under appreciated, and now his second 12 inch on project squared (psq005) will showcase a more house influenced, but still techno at its core, sound with >lucid< and >all i want<.

edu continues to demonstrate his personal artistic development on niquel. staying loyal to his unmistakable groove, he explores a more a progressive and melodic style and sound. diynamic artist david august again shows his midas touch. with a simplicity that belies its effectiveness, david plays heavily on the melodies, creating a most precious of remixes. quite different, yet equally as impressive is the remix from dosem. beautifully emotional, and laden with synths and semi-acoustic guitar lines, it is a mix for the purists, without a doubt

lost&found is einomas new ep, out in february 2011 on shipwrec. the record features one long new track on the a-side as well as two older and previously unreleased pieces for the b-side. the main track >bla< was conceived after editing real-time and live sessions made for gigs after the release of last years >tvenna< ep. the sound material >bla< was initially made from was quite old and the idea and title of the ep >lost and found< came about, reworking of older ideas in a new setting. the a-side demonstrates the more dancefloor side of einoma while the b-side explores the more dark and dense regions einoma have become more known for.

huge rmxs by reboot and maayan nidam!! this project is a new collaboration between mathias kaden and the tokyo based dj pi-ge aka yasuo takata. the track has been produced in japan and the vocals are sung by pi-ges girlfriend shoco. remix support is coming from reboot and maayan nidam and actually there are no more words necessary. welcome 2011 !

supported by: richie hawtin, luciano, sven väth, anja schneider, davide squillace, paco osuna, karotte, kaiserdisco, daniel sanchez, mendo, anthea, butane, ryan crosson, fabrizio maurizi, gel abril, uto karem, carlo lio, ramon tapia, chris tietjen, someone else, dan curtin, alland byallo, butch,.. timid boy first teamed up with amam last year to remix a track from tobia coffa, and it was clear since then (and from his impressive nonstop activity since then) that we would invite him back for more!

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!

after having hit the dancefloors with hydra (weave-26) we are proud to unleash another techno monster by spektre. these 2 guys have travelled the globe in the past years performing their live show, to rapturous acclaim. the versatile experiences they made & still make during their international appearances are constantly improving their own productions. spektres big explosive sound has gained massive respect & support and even the biggest of the big like sven väth, dj hell, dubfire, laurent garnier & many more are not sparing with praise. the title track of weave-34 synapse is stacking up an intimidating amount of industry knowledge and skill between them, the latest spektre-monster is storming from strength to strength, taking no prisoners - it can definitely be called a weapon! and as if this wouldnt be tough enough already, weave-34 delivers even more state of the art techno by offering 2 killer remix versions coming straight out of the noisemaking machines from italys young-gun flavio diaz and pig & dan

shufunk and heavy hittahz team up with the drum orange crew to release this slice of heavy bass driven drum and bass. shufunk has been on it recently and this release shows you why. watch out for more from this label.

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

big with dj koze, superpitcher, julius steinhoff, dorian paic, marc schneider, sven vt, melon any many more... maybe i should give it another chance? i could go early in the morning... maybe the party isn t the real highlight... maybe i am just longing for the condition before and after... maybe i am just tired, maybe i need a little push... who said party anyway? i did... but i also said maybe

ché ché the >ché ché< project produced by sid vaga & guillaume boulard featuring adeline michele is finally out now ondate in a limited vinyl pressing 4. being parisian by birth and martiniquaise by heritage, adeline brings her suave and erotic voice with words in créole to this deep, soulful yet tribal track filled with african instrumentations. >ché ché< also has its dub version >ché ché le dub< which becomes a tad more electronic, keeping the original roundness of the track. wen are also proud to announce a remix by highly renowned producer roy davis– a gem!

top quality remastered reissue of ike strongs disco boogie classic >boogie land<. originally released back in 1981 on the tiny underground disco label willker, this dancefloor bomb is now hugely in-demand.
both sides are absolute killers - the a side features great vocals from ike strong over super funky phat bass and wah wah guitars but dont forget the flip side where the groove get stripped down to the bare instrumental funk with just the relentless driving female vocal >you cant help but dance when you hear it boogie land< - she couldnt be more right! must have.

phoreski, who was the first ever remixer for iib returns to remix >electric sunburst< from the harlyn bay lp, creating a heads down dirty balearic slo-mo basement monster as only he can. next up is tony watson from adult contempory / la who remixes >pacific breeze< adding a touch of west coast b-boy flair. peter visti takes on the not-yet-released track >childhood melody< creating an epic balearic journey starting fairly uptempo before changing gear to groove along at a more leisurely slomo speed. top quality as always. finally, and proving the boys have the jump on tomorrows stars early, the amazing & much sought after aeroplane rework of >too hard<, originally released in 2007. another all round top package.

johannes mai, the rostock born, crazy drummachine user is back under his john spring attire for a gritty floor sweepin three piece ep on airdrop records. it is with great pleasure that we announce this benzo ep, for airdrops magical number ad 018. the record opens with >playing no more games<, with its old school samples and structure, already set to make some serious floor damage. the title track, >benzo< brings things down a notch, featuring heavy filters and hat action. hands down, >drummachines< and its libidinous basslines win the grit-cup!

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

taking a break from compiling his latest masterpiece while simultaneously remixing and re-editing for various labels, al kent delivers another trio of peak time disco movers.. on the a side “feel it baby” is a classic everyone should know, twisted and tweaked for today’s loop-hungry dancers. the phrase “bassline to die for” was coined to describe this song. then there’s the strings… oof! flip it for you got it, an edit that’s been in al’s armoury a while, one that people always ask for.. so here it is. “drums to die for”? built around one serious serious disco break. lastly, theres loving living feeling. a super funky clav, rhodes and string groove that really packs a punch! million dollar disco is loved by dimitri from paris, pat les stache, solid state, cosmic boogie, greg wilson, peter adarkwah, the dead rose music company, horse meat disco, nik weston, chris harris and many many more..

and there’s more.. number six in million dollar disco’s latest release series, as you’ve probably come to expect, is more vintage dancefloor fodder from the reels (mac) of al kent.. “message to the people” started life as a classic, then went through the blender, coming out all wrong, but so right. stomping along on a killer clav groove, punctuated by horns and an evergreen vocal. ” feel the groove” is a heavy hitter, thumping drums and bass with a synth hook that grabs you and doesn’t let go. finally there’s “keep on doing” which is almost house music in it’s simple repetitive bass groove and gospel style vocal shots.. million dollar disco is loved by dimitri from paris, pat les stache, solid state, cosmic boogie, greg wilson, peter adarkwah, the dead rose music company, horse meat disco, nik weston, chris harris and many many more

this is 2nd 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 is a title track of the album. its a typical raoul’s unique african minimal house. b side,>africa< is more musical song which is mixed the sound of traditional african instruments and chorus.

this is the first single cut from the debut album of eddie c, which will be released in march on endless flight. eddie c is one of the best new comers of the nu disco scene in 2010. the title track of a side, do it yourself is a philly disco sound. there are no new things but this track will be a timeless dj tool in your disco set. pain inside on b1 is slow house stuff with a 70s soul voice loop. dub me gwen on b2 is more electric modern boogie disco style

if it is about contemporary house music, there is no way of avoiding the northern djs & producers. first and foremost with roberto rodriguez aka manolo, who has shaped his personal funk infected old-school vibe over the last years and helped the house revive without forgetting from where it came from. his future beat investigators strictly followed the detroit heritage and his acid kings membership gave us lust for the roland tb 303 again. the bermuda project came back to cosmic again and had more than an impact on the nu disco styles. it is his pertinent mix of soulful, funky & functional dancefloor and his his effective productions who convinced the tastemakers worldwide and prepared his ground for top notch releases on labels like compost, 2020vision, freerange or delusions of grandeur and remixes for acts like yoko ono, tigerstripes, jay shepheard, the timewriter, marmion, crazy p, bellringers or vanessa daou. now the time has come for his own platform called serenades, featuring the manolesque ep - for those who like it deep, down & funky!

two new faces on freakshow belong to a crazy spanish combo called kasbah zoo! established some years ago through the union of alex and nicolas who are based in barcelona. after 10 years of individually experience in music production and nightlife, they decided to create a new project where their maturity can do a refined music product.as a result they already had some underground hits during the last years. so far the two guys were releasing tracks on zoo:technique and rawthentic music. their next step took them straight into the intl. freakshowi&#769,s artist pool. with their original version of the title track i&#768,palabrasi&#770, kasbah zoo is unleashing a damn good piece of pumping techhouse. alongside the original we bring you 2 more remixes coming from christian burkhardt and romano alfieri. both are as hot as hell, too. all in all one must say that this record is keeping iti&#769,s dynamic groove from the start to the very end & it will help perfectly to get fully loaded from head to toe!
