nico purman (known from labels like crosstown rebels, mule electronic & vakant) is known for his unique dark and deep, yet funky sound, definitely the right man to bring us those first spring vibrationz...nico purmans first curle is already almost two years old. in fact he was one of the first people we contacted when we were in the process of starting up the label. simply because of his unique dark and deep, yet funky sound. at the time he had only released on modelisme, but in the meantime much respected labels such as crosstown rebels and mule electronic proposed him an ep, and also vakant took him under their wings. hailing from argentina, hes definitely the right man to bring us those first spring vibrationz...

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. born in liverpool, his love for the music was passed on to him by his father, a record collector and former dj, who introduced him to crate-digging at the early age of eight. his roots stem from black music. hip-hop will become his musical bases before he discovers the acid-house explosion at the mythical hacienda in manchester. he naturally starts mixing in the late 80s/early 90s, playing a mixture of rare groove, deep-jazz, deep house, etc. he then turns to production and is noticed by gilb-rs fine-tuned ears who signs him on the spot. releases on labels like wavetec and mule musiq are planned further in the year. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything

>method to madness< kicks like a mule from second one with oldschool handclapping beats and rattling percussion and when those strings set in, the sensitive ones should better protect their behind, cause they announce the sledgehammer bassline - and all this is only the beginning of a crazy, twisting and turning wildpitch ride. for >paddy system< chris carrier is on the controls solo and will have you shake your money maker with a slightly latinesque b-boy style beat - somethin that you might expect from kenny dope - but then adds a these chugging, whipping synth chords for a good tech-house spank

the third chapter in matthew dear s audion 12inch series is here, the true precursor to this fall’s suckfish lp. potentially the most insane and dancefloor-destroying of the group, following the already classic eps kisses and the pong. this is the sound of matthew dear s subconscious coming to life. mule-kick beats, dirty synth squelch and a bass roll-out that has already rocked everywhere from detroit to berlin. roman flügel (of alter ego fame) delivers a summer party-ready club bomber with his 23 positions in a one-night stand mix, which strips the original down to its essential elements but keeps the infectious energy of the original. guaranteed to rock. you have been warned

steve bug - innovator, minimal dance connoisseur, tech house master - though he s been given many prestigious titles, if theres one quality that can be best attributed to steve bug, it would be modesty. its a trait that has followed him throughout his illustrious career, from his early days as a child building guitars out of cardboard, to his early lessons in percussion at school to his beginnings as a mixtape dj to his first productions. despite the fact that hes now largely regarded as one of the founding fathers of minimal - creating his >da minimal funk< compilation over 10 years ago - and one of the most sought-after 4/4 djs booked today, bug remains truly humble when reflecting on the majestic rise from his beginnings as a dancefloor-dwelling clubber in bremen, germany to ruling his renowned dessous/poker flat empire in berlin.
