we would like to present: norm talley the mystic ep(tm-015). this classic piece of vinyl has been one of tmrs most requested eps since its original release in 1999. circles is a deeply rooted detroit dance scorcher blended with 70s soul influences. vi-bray-shun rmx is compiled of long melodic chords, driving bass and vocal stabs, with a 2012 twist. innerpeace shines through with a melodic groove no different in todays standards even after 13 years! the mood groove! norm talley at his finest, deep in the motor city.

gabriel ananda was captivated by the sound of classical music by the early age of 8. he was encouraged by his family to practice the cello, but it was through playing the guitar that fueled his motivation to continue to learn about music. the guitar became a useful tool to express his creativity, but gabriel was not finished searching for his musical direction. in 1995 that changed. a dj set by sven väth was the pivotal moment that ended gabriels search to find his passion and two years later, the new producer celebrated his first release for the german label hörspielmusik. he went on to release singles on treibstoff, trapez, platzhirsch, and karmarouge before producing what was for him, a life changing track

with their feet firmly positioned on dutch soil, the heads and hearts of dam swindle are nonetheless rooted deep into the soul of the motor city, and this ep of finely crafted grooves on jimmy posters and huxleys fledgling saints & sonnets imprint is as brilliant a reflection of their obsession as you could expect. >the wrap around< combines a killer vocal hook with a silky line, but its the bassline that marks it out, coming in with a thudding bassline that twists itself into all manner of unfiltered goodness at the halfway point. >pain tomorrow< meanwhile prefers to let its skipping percussion do the talking with a bumping chord led groove that would put mcde to shame. the ep is rounded off with a killer remix of the title track from deleusions of grandeurs pattern select, turning in a sparse reworking which transforms the light original into a throbbing piece of basement house.

the man with the mask shouldnt need an introduction: delsin, styrax leaves and his own present outfit have shown the mans ability to maneuver between true school techno, malicious house, break beat bombs and motor city romanticism - all ornamented with redshapes very own mark. for running back, he delivers something like a cross sum of his work. >on da floor< (>da< reads >the<) is subterranean haunted house with a broken heart, while >goom< features a take-your-shirt-off reese-bass-line. if you like it dry, the >bonus beatz< >z< reads >s<) of >goom< will satisfy your needs. bass drum jungle music

in recent times it has been fashionable for european producers to try and recreate the classic sounds of detroit. the true vibe and feel can surely only come from the city itself? as his name suggests, whilst we know very little about anonym, we do know that he hails from the legendary motor city, and the true essence of his home town can be heard and felt in his music. classic sounds constructed with a modern touch. gritty, raw and crying out for sweaty basements. in 2011 anonym has finally arrived on vakant and is set to release his first record on the label. his > flivvers vol.1 ep< will be followed by vol.2 later this year.

daniel dexter is the latest new talent to emerge as part of the poker flat crew. after some success with his strong, futuristic productions on exploited records, the berlin based producer has found a new home in steve bugs modern house magnate. the moody, storming >no house for old men< is a superb example of daniels talents. synth-heavy, dramatic and restrained, this slow burning houser lifts and climbs into spacey, ecstatic moments as its detroit influenced keys and carl craig-esque peaks bring it home. the groovy >who knows motorcity< works a simple yet addictive theme in a powerful pop-house moment, especially designed for summertime evening action. clean, bright percussion and rubbery synths flavour this delightful second course! the deeper, hypnotic tones of >the other day< have an almost soundtrack quality as subtle key changes and detailed sound design take this track into more subterranean realms. melancholic yet positive in its resolution, this is future house music in its prime!

the brilliantly monikered big strick - familial elder to omar s and responsible for the odd killer release on his younger cousins fxhe imprint - belatedly sates the appetite of record collectors keen to indulge in his recent album detroit heat with a six track selection of the choicest cuts spread across this twelve inch. seemingly drawing influence from a myriad of motor city influences, detroit heat impressively flits between murky deep house, tracky techno and hypnotic jack-tracks. like many of his contemporaries, strick is a sucker for cement mixer production - that distinctly detroitian sound where every beat, groove or bassline sounds like the master tapes have been marinated in grit. that trademark sound, alongside a solid selection of floor-friendly grooves, makes detroit heat an excellent addition to the motor city house canon. the rubbery spinal atmospherics of >under tone< and the tony coates vocally assisted jack of >maybe 1 day< are particular highlights!

transmissions sends us four intercepted signals from the mothership hovering over the motor city primed for the peak-time dancefloor that range from outer space techno trips to alien hip-shaking deep house. theres no fads here and no so-hip move faking, just quality in its purest form, and that alone can seem alien back on earth in these times…

well rounded kick off 2011 with the deep space bump-n-hustle of littlefoots aptly named >interplanetary< ep.
all 4 tracks contrast tuff dry drums & low sweeping subs with cosmic atmospheres and twilight melodies and chords. theres a unique strictness in the drums here, less swung than typical garage but with innovative programming that shows a producer keen to explore new possibilities. as ever with well rounded and our producer friends, we are celebrating influences from the past - think classic 4/4 uk garage in the vein of dem 2, mixed with early 90s rave sounds and welded together in a motor city car plant. with added post-dubstep production sensibilities, littlefoot is creating an unheralded hybrid sound. all 4 tracks contribute to the completeness of the ep - we go in hard, explore different areas and complete our journey with the last track. we hope you enjoy this trip.

following up his successful foray of sampling on otp party breaks, andy ash finds himself diving head first into the darker outer limits of big room dance music. >another world< nods its head to technos yesteryear, more specifically detroit. imagine a slower version of the motor citys soulful chord pulsing sound and youll find yourself in the right ballpark. add to this andys finishing jacking touch and the result is golden. this time around otps remix work finds italian man of the hour nicholas, from no more hits (label) fame and otps very own marcos cabral
