marx was totally right: the sustained reign of the exchange value and the spooky and tricky quality of the commodity - the fetishism of commodities - still keep the single individual under age and enslaved. therefore >the association of liberated people and music (vfmm)< is a necessary emancipated condition to strive for. especially the impact of art and music is able to hold on to the contradictions of reality and helps to transcend this wrong existing status qust release drive-by mix mup suspends the principle of causal relation. together we travel down a road that has lost its destination. the road becomes the actual reason for our motion. past connecting elements we cruise

bristol based mensah anderson delivers something a little different from his current output and dj sets for his first release on deep medi. the gambia was picked up by mala almost two years ago and has yet to leave his record bag. it featured heavily in mala?s xlr8r?s podcast, which was voted best of 2011. ?the gambia? is a slow burning, dark minimal and heavily tribal journey taking in elements of techno, afrobeat with a touch of danchall, this output leans more towards mensah?s alias ?new york transit authority? than previous mensah releases and also shows the diversity of mensah as a producer. ?trailing moons of saturn? on the flip takes on a more laid back and cinematic approach with it?s subtly layered synths, thunderous bass stabs and intergalactic rave vibes and effects.

oha, neues vom diggler! der reisende zwischen pop, dubtechno und house schüttelt aufs neue einen so locker und leicht klingenden geniestreich aus dem Ärmel, als würde seine für mindestens vier technoproduzentenleben ausreichende ideenflut wirklich niemals versiegen. hat der mann einen bund mit dem technogöttern geschlossen? oder seine verknarzte seele verkauft? oder einfach nur sagenhaft viele möglichkeiten, sich immer wieder neu zu erfinden?

new werkstoff musik with double masterminds dreher and smart. incl huge falko brocksieper and david pasternack remixes. aus einer warmen und deepen grundstimmung heraus entfalten sich filigrane schleier aus technoiden downs und offs, die dem sich niemals zurücklehnenden beat eine grundlegende gelassenheit verleihen. in einem meer voller zurückhaltend modulierter, dunkler und geheimnisvoller sounds wecken dreher und sm.art sanft verschnörkelte erinnerungen an alte zeiten des acid- und tribalhouse. trotzdem wirkt der track klar, konsequent und ohne überflüssigen ballast. ruegenrund, das ist ein siebeneinhalb minuten dauernder magischer moment, voller kraft, harmonie, glaube, versprechen und vertrauen. ein offener blick in eine tiefe seele, wie ein spaziergang am rande der welt, verträumt und trotzdem voller gespannter erwartung.

rivet puts a lot of effort in his sounds and his production. this is not another copycat. first out on the ep >amid the roar< is >metrist<, a sexy march that blends the stiffness 80-ties disco with techno from the future. on the b-side marcel fengler takes his turn on >metrist<. he keeps the string of the original, chops up the bass and creates a dancefloor monster with a big anthem alert stamp on it. amid the roar ends with what might be the strongest track on the ep. this ep will make us dance, of course, as always, with a bit of a kontra-musik twist.

cosmic cowboys are back on mgf. there would be no need to say anything else as the grooving armada from venice already left its trademark with releases like the > dusk ep< or the > piano africano ep< but of course theres more to say. nico and kaled, for their third release on > musik gewinnt freunde<, deliver a dancefloor monster that keep all of their quintessential romantic touch but reshaping it in a different way this time. fully oriented to the dancefloor the a-track >notre jour viendra< comes along the an amazing remix of the berlin duo youandme. signing a perfect reinterpreation that leaves the listener speachless

phuture shock musik present their 5th release, this time procuring the reliable talent of one of the most slept on producers in the world of bass music - that is simon/off. those in the know will be aware that the austrian native has been simmering in the underground for quite some time now, having laid the groundwork through early releases on haunted audio, a noteworthy ep for immerse records, and further contributions to several other smaller labels. this latest plate by the name of >planetary communication< ep finds simon/off leaning more towards his techno and broken beat side, which has of late began to flourish in his recent productions, and consists of three well crafted afro-tech riddims oozing weighty low-end frequencies, funky drum work and finely detailed percussion. widespread support on sub fm, and increasing support from several other major players in the underground bass scene.

in einer zeit der scheinbar unbegrenzten moeglichkeiten durch neueste produktionstechnik und unzaehlige samples und loops ist es axel ein anliegen, einen schritt zurück zu gehen und sich zu limitieren, weg vom stereotypen / cleanen computerproduktionssound hin zum versuch, die musik wieder als versuch, als experiment zu begreifen. er verzichtet daher bei seinem 2. soloalbum auf die allgegenwaertigen bongoloops, ureinwohnergesaenge und whitenoiseatacken, kehrt zurueck zur drummaschine und zur melodie, die sich wie ein roter faden durch axels werk zieht. ob in den anfaengen als vanguard (mit asem shama), seinem kompaktkatalog, dem ersten soloalbum kiss auf karmarouge 2008 oder neuerer veroeffentlichungen auf sportclub, suol, get physical oder ostwind, immer verleihen melodien seinen stuecken eine besondere stimmung, die sie von den ueblichen dj-tools abgrenzen.

nice price deal !!! in einer zeit der scheinbar unbegrenzten moeglichkeiten durch neueste produktionstechnik und unzaehlige samples und loops ist es axel ein anliegen, einen schritt zurück zu gehen und sich zu limitieren, weg vom stereotypen / cleanen computerproduktionssound hin zum versuch, die musik wieder als versuch, als experiment zu begreifen. er verzichtet daher bei seinem 2. soloalbum auf die allgegenwaertigen bongoloops, ureinwohnergesaenge und whitenoiseatacken, kehrt zurueck zur drummaschine und zur melodie, die sich wie ein roter faden durch axels werk zieht. ob in den anfaengen als vanguard (mit asem shama), seinem kompaktkatalog, dem ersten soloalbum kiss auf karmarouge 2008 oder neuerer veroeffentlichungen auf sportclub, suol, get physical oder ostwind, immer verleihen melodien seinen stuecken eine besondere stimmung, die sie von den ueblichen dj-tools abgrenzen.

the great strength of feindrehstar lies in their engaging and dynamic live-show on the stage. if you see them once, you must see them again. whether metalhead with a glass of beer, a dreadlocked queen or standard- issue club-goer, this band moves everybody. that feindrehstar also crafts music that from its source warmly hugs the listener is another plus they have going for them. these are supported on the latest from musikkrause by producers such as axel reinemer (jazzanova), michel baumann (soulphiction) & wendelin weiflbach (metaboman, krause duo).

mr. mageeka makes a welcome return in the wake of >different lekstrix<, the mutated funky banger that caused straight up mayhem on many dancefloors the world over, upon its release via numbers last year. the much-anticipated follow up, penned for release on phuture shock musik, comes in the shape of >vintage malarkey<, which sees the east-londoner offer further next level shenanigans. employing a similar formula as its predecessor, this one is stripped down and quintessentially hypnotic - instantly luring you in with a looped god made me funky - esque groove, over a brisk swinging rythm, whilst occasionally throwing you off-guard through the introduction of angular synths and offbeat claps, as well as an inspired collage of samples that maintains the quirky nature of the production throughout. the single comes backed with >de congo<, a funky conga-laden number, that is enhanced by an addictive fusion of west african guitar licks, kalimba stabs and frisky percussion, though the real icing on the cake being its meandering trumpet hook, altogether coming off like a live high-life jam. early support from the likes of rinse fms scratcha and marcus nasty.

the eleventh lust und freu.de release is produced by a young artist from saint naizaire, france and contains three very special and stylistic different tracks with completely own character plus a peak time bomb remix by konvex.

there are still around, real environmentalists for whom the term preservation means more than just a trend. paul-david rollmann alias even-tuell belongs with his artistic productions (among other things, one of the creators of the enthusiast label workshop) to the class of those who answer the call for effective art, design and indulgence. the maxim is always the free will, emancipated from szperfluous market mechanics and the falsehoods of the zeitgeist. for musik krause, his activity is recorded on 2 releases. a split with metaboman and a formidable remix for ian simmonds adorn the catalog. with his quasi-first complete musik krause ep he shows a raw and coarse club music sound without losing even a breath of the aesthetic and compelled movement. all three pieces sound as if they were crafted from centuries old tools, in the way that his music is filtered through the machines humanizedm discharged in a kind of essential honesty.

he & she is a project from alexander pavlenko and nastia. nastia should be known to music lovers and festival visitors. by now the sympathetic young woman from the ukraine is homelike on many stages of the world . her sets in kazantip made her worldwide known. so it is no wonder that she is working for the well-established radio kiss.fm. the actual mgf 18 >videt< convinced through a deep groove and light cords. kollektiv turmstrasse corroborate the titletrack with their own sound. thus they create an own remix where you defiantly recover new aspects.

the much anticipated album from jonsson/alter, the new project from henrik jonsson & joel alter, has finally arrived. with personality and grace jonsson/alter blend soul, atmosphere and space with heavenly monotone funk. good times are what we are made for and this album will hopefully help you in pursuing that task.

semester musik 003 ist eine release, die uns wirklich stolz macht. wir haben die legende the egyptian lover, der einst das vinyl von detroit nach los angeles brachte, mit chris james, dem nachwuchstalent aus birmingham, an ein gemeinsames mischpult gelassen. die unbeschwertheit des west-coast-undergrounds von 1984 trifft die britische coolness von 2011.

autoreply offshoot stuga returns with a highly playable 12 inch that is perfect for the outdoor party season. for this release we welcome back ben rourke who has previously recorded for autoreply, his blue ep collaboration with friend pier bucci having sold out instantly and going on to receive critical acclaim. his tracks effortlessly build without the aid of well known formulas always using high end sound design but never forgetting that house and techno music is essentially meant for dancing. >tahiti< is one of those tracks thats perfect for the big room or after-party alike featuring bouncy percussion, an analogue bass-line that will properly drive the sound system and one of the most infectious synth-sequences of the year. in fact the mans developed a whole new genre, desert island techno! >sharpie< explores the deeper realms of dub driven techno with a very liquid approach just so slightly tipping its hat to the 90s detroit vibe and still very much aimed at the floor. enjoy.

powerplay from: iron curtis, quarion, dplay, jazzmina, oliver goldt, tristen …. and your mum! when leaves are falling down its always time for some heart-warming music. so we here at frank music decided to do another special 12inch this year. our good friend monosoul made this handsome house-track called >ignore the traffic lights< that we just love so much it gets a singlesided limited release. we are sure you know the feeling when riding your bike, cruisin your city at night: damn those traffic lights! well, be careful when crossing the street, though.... a real warehouse smash for sure and who needs b-sides anyways.

after he caught our attention several times with a string of releases on such labels as quintessentials for example, we are very happy to introduce skipson as a new artist on our label. his influences can be found somewhere between labels like classic or music for freaks for example. these influences combined with a great passion for detroit house from the likes of kdj or andres create the very own skipson sound that we like so much and that always shows his ability to add something unique to his productions.

for the new musik krause ian simmonds has put a considerable fire under the adrenalin of sensuality so that the cinematic played before the minds eye brings both friends and free-spirited dancers to the same place. that which marked the typical simmonds sound up to now gets from ian a considerable punch from way way down. the club equipment and party-ers will be thrilled - and thats a promise!

the acronym lfo is normally used for >light fuel oil<, but what robert stolt presents with his new release is truly nutritious fuel for the dancefloor. >beyond lfo< developed a groove like chiseled, massive, overwhelming, heated up and extremely intense. a track that could easily run more and more and leaves you breathless and speechless as soon as the last bass drum is faded away. two remixes come from the feather of the well-known pig & dan guys. a steppin and ever-shifting rhythm is the foundation on which a swinging guitar melody unfolds their poignant effect and transform force into playful clarity. a suitable outdoor summer hit. in their second version, the melodic superstructure is purified rigorously, the residual remain compacted and the driving rhythmic moment dressed in a hypnotic dub garb. the clearly breaks infected track >monster< is inspired by the aesthetics of american b-movie monster movies from the 50s. varying, cinematic sound cascades and these wonderful bleeps over all have a direct path into the heads own sound cinema.

needing little introduction, london based producer roof light has been making big waves on the underground garage/post-dubstep scene since his groundbreaking debut >in your hands< ep for styrax some 21 months ago.
since then his resume has somewhat multiplied, with a string of releases on esteemed labels such as millions of moments, prolific, l2s, and highpoint lowlife to name a few. continuing on with this impressive run, roof light is poised to drop the fittingly titled >on the third< ep for phuture shock musik this summer.

isn t it astounding how musikkrause manages to change direction? on one hand you can find albums from feindrehstar and ian simmonds, as well as a number of diverse features. maximum is the catchword. who can bring bona fide, raw, full-service techno for a deep seated mind fuck? berk offset of whom the technoiden world out there is no stranger, has the answer at the ready with a 2x funky, dada techno for culture-drunks and solar plexus-beatniks. the flowing lyricist rainer maria silke is known as the techno-activist part of two duo s. together with the japanese tanaka hideyuki he celebrates an abundant frizzle-fest ornately, bound with alex kork under the handle error as cannibal cooking club to a freaky loud industrial-techno with an experimental edge. added to that he is a manager of the label 9volt-musik which blithely ignores the trends but instead serves a challenging techno sound. the raveline supported, 22nd release from their catalog stromberk recently bagged a record of the month! for musikkrause berk offset mimes the dead doris with a filthy straight-lined techno avant garde for a life in the dance floor heavens. he is the charming psychiatrist with the melting grin and the right medicine in his frock, who muses from time to time over the effectiveness of shock therapy.
