we present a new artist on echocord colour. we are presenting one of the currently most interesting berlin modern techno music producers today mike dehnert. he is founder of the label fachwerk records on which he is publishing under his own name. his live acts and dj sets are as remarkable as his productions and you wont ever hear him playing any self-pleasing or incidental grooves. mostly mike is playing his own unpublished tracks. he did just put his ability to the test within collabarations with clone rec and the clone basement series. on the super limited md2 series mike dehnert is presenting again his variety in music. for echocord colour he did 3 striped killer berlin flavoured techno-dub/house tracks, for all dancefloors out there.

first pressing with limited colored sleeve!!! the italian born and raised fabrizio maurizi has hit the ground running at an exceptionally quick pace, starting things off with his >ok, switch on< ep, which was an instant hit for heads-down techno heads. his third release for minus is set to boost his name to new heights, further building his reputation as a newcomer who knows exactly what hes doing. he proves his expertise in looping vocal samples and tweaking them to the extreme-one of his trademark techniques, and something that gives his productions a unique and instantly recognizable twist.

lukes anger back with a brand new 10 track lp !! killer tracks feat. full colour sleeve art !! keeping true to his techno sensibilities (or non-sensibilities?), live wrong and prosper is a full- length-album sized collection of lukes finest recent work along with some massive exclusive tracks, including an extra special 2010 vip re-mash of his 2 biggest tracks to date! (see: >working on the floor<). expect ultra-heavy bass juggernauts in >gross negligence> and >bruce wobbelaar<. sexy acid swing-time in >nice car< and >tombstone trax< and all out wonk-factor-10 with >worried sid< and >beebop drop< and many more percolating slammers to be discovered! fans of the trademark >lukes anger charm< will have a field day with this release, with every track dripping in fat, tasty analogue lushness! lukes previous releases have always been picked up by a plethora of across-the- board dj’s, receiving support from the likes of laurent garnier, detroit grand pubahs, kid606, jerome hill, dj warlock, dj zinc and michael forshaw to name but a few.

nice price deal !!! begun in 2008 and following the release of their debut single last summer, not squares have carved themselves a name as an incendiary live act playing 2009 festival dates at latitude, leeds and reading in addition to numerous boutique irish festivals. not squares received plenty of national radio play with huw stephens championing them throughout 2009. with a bbc radio 1 introducing maida vale session under their belts and nearing the release of their debut album in september 2010 with dublin-based richter collective, there will be many opportunities to go buckwild with them in a room near you. >release the bees< is the next single out in autumn on pogo recordings in dublin, a driving 8 minute-acid-house-electro-dance-track to assault your ears.

the house nerds with 2 killer tracks for lovers of rekids & cabin fever. mystery bells >down deep and dark< went the name of an old strictly rhythm compilation and thats a pretty good description of mystery bells. 909 beats propel this monster along with the payoff coming via a big-room breakdown. follow that with a variety of skippy sp1200 drum programming to finish it off. (did we mention the bells?) huge. library session no. 4 is bouncy proto-garage mixes together with spaced out vocal samples and some serious chordage. channeling old downtown 161 vibes into the present day, the nerds provide a nice counter-measure to the darker sounds of mystery bells.

hers is the most anticipated debut album of 2010 and her name is on everybodys lips. seldom before has a young artist so captivated the attention of a generation that she personifies. >the ultimate it girl<, >the new electro pop sensation<, >totally in tune with the spirit of the times<: these are just a few quotes from her reviewers. the delayed >sex dreams and denim jeans< is finally complete. uffie took her time, for after years of continuous whirlwind she needed to take a step back, put her bags down and concentrate on her writing.

rusty egan and steve strange brought you the blitz club in 1980, the cradle that not only spawned the musical soundtrack to a generation but also the styles, fashions and very fabric of the 80s. thirty years may seem a long time to wait before launching a record label of the same name but the sound of the blitz is as fresh today as it was all those years ago on a side street off covent garden.

its been 18 months since our first nang release, d-pulses >more<. nestled on that release was an extra ep track called >highway to saturn<. much to our delight it turned out to be a bit of a gem. when it featured on the tirk 02 and kitsune ponystep / jerry bouthier compilations we knew we were all onto something. (cue the overdrive and the interstellar vocal.) slovenian-based, us singer, hannah mancini, provides those cosmic vocals, ably recorded by sare havlicek in sunny ljubljan. after a sly re-titling of the track (to avoid confusion with the original the name has been extended to >on a highway to saturn<) its on to the obligatory over-the-top nang remix package...first up is a new version from d-pulse for those long summer nights. their >australian shore reversion< mix slows down the groove to a balmy evening by noosa shores pace. space-rock, guitar solos, smouldering synths and lazy rhythms all combine to make this one for the beach house. sare havlicek adds a couple of mixes of his own. keeping things hi-energy he goes for the disco jugular with his trademark stabby synths and tight production. nang newcomers, proper heat, strip things back and go for a slow-grooving baltic-disco chugger. rounding off the remix package is japanese based jan ken po (aka max essa). he delivers a dance floor friendly version with a big and bold walking bass riff and tasteful synths

finlands 501 made his name writing smashers for labels such as chase & status imprint more than alot, but this plate on black acres dancefloor subsidiary will confound all expectation. >short circuit< marries synthetic pop production with dancefloorsensibilities and adds a dash of pure cheek for good measure. an intro of vibrant chords, talkbox vocals and live electric bass sets up the naughtiest of drops - skipping jazzy beats, switching synth edits and snippets of turntablism, all shoe-horned over an enormous warping bassline.

for this 10th wph release we looked towards belgiums finest raoul lambert aka raoul belmans aka one half of swirl people to follow up on his splendid wph blue b-side track 3 seconds released late 2009. raoul quickly sent us cinnamon dreams, the result of a long valencia-session with friend and fellow producer nacho marco, during which they apparently ate the whole spanish supply of belgian speculoospasta, a specialty that cannot be translated in english, but it contains cinnamon, hence the name of the track and the ep

it only takes one listen to jee days >like a child< – and its whirling, hypnotic rush – to recognize the know-how that has made studio whiz dennis dj mcnany a go-to source in new york citys dance music scene. over the last decade, the sound architect has become a musical jack-of-all-trades: fine tuning releases from outfits such as the rapture and turing machine, working on early output from dfa records, maintaining his own run roc label, remixing artists like panthers, ghostape and digable planets ladybug mecca, and contributing keyboards and percussion on tour with the juan maclean. in light of the already impossibly long list of credits to mcnanys name (including the numerous pseudonyms under which he has released his own music) the jee day debut 12 inch is a bit like a first listen to an artist who audiences, ironically, have already heard many times before.
