the name says it all. dettmann is the debut long player of berghains resident dj, producer and remixer marcel dettmann - and what an album it is. intrinsically tied to the myth that is berghain by now, the attached label ostgut ton and at the same time with the regeneration of no-frill, cleansed and powerful electronic music, marcel dettmann managed a daring feat: the production of a truly absorbing and veritable techno album. framed by >quasi< and >taris< as intro respectively outro, spread out over ten tracks, dettmann transports the raw energy, the rough aesthetics and the simple grace of techno.

truly beautiful deep house records are things to be treasured, akin to proper songs that will last the test of time, not made to meet a fleeting fad. this is one of those records and a real pinnacle & departure for blm & pawas. although the term deep is an oft overused one, >waiting game< personifies the genres true key traits with a subtly moving groove that gradually builds, using layers of subtle percussion and a rich, warm synth motif to make a rich tapestry of sounds before finally introducing the beautiful female vocal that gives the track its name. patrice scott liked the track so much that he agreed to remix it - his first ever outside of his own, excellent, sistrum label. using plenty of the original track parts but taking it a different direction, patrice really has come up with something special. the track moves along with snippets of the main vocal and clever use of the main synth, the groove being underpinned by patrice s classic sense of production before moving into a more classic >detroit< ending - a mindset with a bigger, more dramatic sensibility

a welcome return for jaime read who has been releasing quality deep house and techno since the mid 90s via his own push ii shove label, tenth planet, fragmented and ugly music. here he drops a timeless ep of house and techno rythims to great effect. messages from outer space is a deep slice of timeless 808 driven electro soul. name no names moves along with spaced out keys and a sax line reverbed to great effect. no relief has that old school chicago house sound with piano stabs and a lush string breakdown. digital acid wraps it up sounding much like the title suggests with deep 808 bass and floor smashing snares

andromeda – just like the galaxy with the same name - is brilliant! expansive and excursive, the suspenseful groove on its own is >big room< worthy, but its the sci-fi tune that haunts across the synths that takes this tune from x files to x factor. while on the flip you will discover the #1 remix duo - 2000 and one and dj madskillz - with a punchy, in-your-face stellar remix.

james ruskin is considered a veteran producer these days, after co-founding blueprint records in 1996 with richard polson, and releasing a string of classics on blueprint, meta and tresor labels to name but a few. 2009 saw ruskin re-invent his sound, a far deeper bass driven aesthetic, with killer releases on sandwell district, token and the newly reformed blueprint imprint.

herman is probably the coolest artist name we have heard in a while.. so unsexy and very unlikely that its not someone s real name... but stuart li must have had a laugh about it with some friends and some beers! stuart li aka basic soul unit aka herman starts this project for his production that one would not directly link to his chicago house rooted basic soul unit releases. herman delivers two hot tracks with dubstep fueled beats, sub bass driven grooves with detroit influenced sounds that one could expect on a label such as hessle audio. title track prototype is total killer which goes into the direction of 2562 and martyn. april skies sound like aril brikha meets 2562 meets basic soul unit. hot release!!

the loop:
this nice, funky, underground and late night beat eddie put down represents his origins of funky detroit house fillers … also, columbia style vox sample is a killer on the floor for the best djs with skills ...

san proper stlyin like only he can... tip! good starts deserve likewise follow-ups. after a daring, but nonetheless vigorous start from the freshly formed dekmantel label thanks to israeli duo juju & jordash and their stunning and much praised self titled album, next up is amsterdams very own musical wolverine: mister san proper. you might have come across sans name recently. after coming, seeing and concurring the dutch lowlands san is on the eve of a definitive international breakthrough. with releases on world-wide acclaimed labels like rush hour and perlon his dazzling hand-jammed percussion, vintage synths and instruments- one - only - stubbles - upon - when - discovering - deserted - jungles now found their way to the dekmantel label – sans home bass.

played by luciano, tiefschwarz, brothers vibe, anthony collins, livio & roby, giusseppe cennamo and more...!! pachamama in english is the andean peoples word for mother nature. so its no wonder that the chilean native multi talented musician, alejandro vivanco, remixed a track by the same name as it carries with it the message of our earths mother through its energy, positivity and promises of eternal sunshine. both the original and the 2 vivanco mixes are topped off with a funky easy riding 70s horn section and the dub mix is an altogether more housey fuelled track with more hi hats to make you shake off the winter blues. one by one the musical portrait of pachamama unfolds itself in a dreamy soundscape of warm summery beats that coax you to the poolside and dance with you from sunrise to sunset!

major mainstyle alert! the beat controller is a young, but already well- experienced dutch dj and party organizer (confusion events). besides his dj skills, he already made himself a name with the track >handz on my ballz< in cooperation with angerfist. the track was released on the last angerfist album >mutilate<.

newtonns history started in 1985. in a retrospective, his musical career looks like a frantic puzzle. there were influences of pop, rock and electronic sounds from the early seventies, so in fact, newtonns - better known by his alter ego cut a kaos - reputation and success could be traced back to all these music styles. since 2 years alexander friedlhuemer (so his registered name) has straighten and oriented his label bacteria records towards house and tech-house. the current and most important, new release >the cursor< is remixed by lars eckmann. catchy tech-house tunes with a flawor of real techno influences. as a result, 2010 is newtonns year and his spectacular productions will break all limits!

incl maxi cd!! big with mathias kaden, stephan bodzin, afrilounge, kombinat100, monoroom!! ein neues label aus dem hause acker! acker dub ist der name und gleichzeitig das programm der neuen vinylreihe aus dem schönen land der tausend seen. das erste release der mecklenburger crew kommt vom labelgründer mollono.bass. auf der a seite präsentiert er treibende, dubige techhouse beatz, die wie gewohnt mit einem dicken groove daher kommen und ordentlich nach vorne gehen. auf der b-seite erwartet euch ein tango angehauchter remix von rundfunk300!

encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

the latest ep to come from the detroit grand pubahs label detelefunk is dj and producer k alexi shelby with >i can go<. kaay is one of chicagos true heroes and cited by many as a pioneer of the citys sound. this is his unique smooth blend of techno and house, as kaay calls >tecsoul< (which is also the the name of his own label) that attracted the eye of the pubahs with a track titled >i can go< featuring kaays own vocals, and the heavy female breathing.

vizual - the brain and soul child of joshua iz - its even part of the name. after working with many of the most respected labels in underground dance music, including prescription, classic, om, guidance, diy, joshua &#64257,,nally felt it time to create his own imprint, hence vizual. drawing from a myriad of in&#64258,,uences, from heavy jamaican dub to bleepy detroit techno, vizual seeks to develop new musical forms that bridge the gap between pure organic music and abstract electronic sound paintings, yet creating something danceable in the process.

immediately adopted by a huge list of djs like fedde le grand, axwell, laidback luke, sander van doorn, dirty south and funkagenda to name a few!! nick romero drops his interpretation of the well known classic by groove armada - and it rocks!!!

monkey records is the brand new label from spain! from the likes of gt muzike, techon, etc. feel good techno music that will appeal to all those who are in to the mentioned labels and labels like patterns, basics, adult and relatives. warm music for the winter months!

scott monteith aka deadbeat is back on echocord with an absolutely killer ep. after his split ep with fenin on echocord colour this year, and his earlier ep with pole (d.p.) he is now back on echocord with his vampire ep. deadbeat is one scott monteith, a long time montrealer and recent berlin ex pat who has been releasing his own special blend of dub laden, minimal electronics since 2000, for labels such as cynosure, musique risquée, scape and spectral to name but a few. this continues in the same vain. dub is the key here and it is used with such class and insight. the flip sees a more twisted track that shows a slightly more edgy side.

salvatore freda makes a welcome return to freerange, turning in two rock solid club tracks that straddle house and techno, with his own individual approach stamped all over them. a long running resident at d club, one of switzerlands finest clubs, salvatore freda is an experienced dj as well as accomplished producer whose previous track on freerange, >western spaghetti<, caught the ears of many a big name dj.

alex o. smith aka omar-s does it again, mixing up the rough with the smooth in his wonderfully titled >plesetsk cosmodrome ep< (named after the russian space port of the same name). the first two tracks >kosmos 1402< and >plesetsk cosmodrome< have a old larry heard kind of feel to them, you should check the title track which has one of the most infectious basslines i have heard in a while. the drum machine lead closing track >skynet 2b< is omar s at his rawest. classic fxhe vibes, miss this one at your peril.

nice price deal !!! official release !
mind-blowing singles, eps, remixes (for the likes of simian mobile disco, little boots, royksopp, lykke li, au revoir simone…), a quickly-growing label (fondation records), and the night is his in most of the worlds major cities: danton eeprom had it all, to the exception of a long-playing record. after making a name for himself with hits like confessions of an english opium-eater, grindhouse or face control, it was time to go off the beaten path and show the way once again. would he go for a fairly logical sweat-ridden dancefloor riot? not precisely. not only. danton would make a revolution of his own, in dandy mode.
three words that will soon be on everyones lips: yes is more. in a cloud of smoke, over a tight booty beat and keys delving deep into thirty years of electronic music, the french londoner sings for good and is all axes out on >thanks for nothing<, making things clear from the very start.

der winter hat in unserer heimat mecklenburg einzug gehalten und verschönert mit seinen schönen eigenschaften unsere landschaft und unsere herzen. genau diese gleichen aspekte schenkt uns andre kronert mit seinem zweiten vinyl auf ostwind. die negentein glänzt mit zwei funktionallen tracks die gekonnt übers eis schlittern und bei einem gläschen glühwein zum träumen animieren. der name >eisleben< spiegelt auch perfekt das thema dieses tracks wieder. eine glasklare, sich nach vorne schiebende hook, die sich zu einem schneesturm entwickelt und links und rechts viel platz zum staunen läßt. ein packender in sich gekehrter track der nicht nur im winter einige gemüter im club erwärmen wird! auf der flip glänzt >cassiopeia< mit wundervoll melodischen und groovenden techhouse, der dich die zeit vergessen lässt. musik nicht nur für den club!!

oh my god! this is another impressive release on the fast growing analogmode label. a.paul is on a roll with his string of releases in 2009 on labels like planet rhythm, kombination research and naked lunch to name only a few. this time he collaberates with one of the biggest in the industry: the advent! this tune is just what to except from these guys. straight froward pumping techno! the second track is by japanese techno warrior riuji takeuchi followed up on the flip by sinisa tamamovic taking it deep. last but not least a switch in styles to the dancefloor magnet tadox. all in all a great diverse techno ep which you just cant afford to miss!

minimal wave: both a genre of underground diy electronic music from north america and europe in the late 1970s and 80s, and the name of the label devoted to unearthing these recordings. the minimal wave tapes is the first official anthology of minimal wave music from this label. most of the songs were originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. they ve been remastered from their analog source tapes and compiled here by minimal waves veronica vasicka and stones throws peanut butter wolf.

fumakilla launches the new year with a banging, excellently produced 12 inch from the pen of valenzuela / casarano. after their outstanding debut release >otra vida< on fumakilla, which was played and charted by numerous top djs like jimpster, luciano, brothers vibe and onur Özer, just to name a few, the two chileans now drop >aneninema< - a classical ep with 3 magical tracks. the a-side starts with >santi< and its instantly starting hypnotic pumpin groove. with >flaca< the two prove their musical talent with loads of charm and soul, besides the track flows vitally through its latin roots? on the flip with >aneninema< they combine and link all these ingredients to create a >groove deluxe< that wont keep anyone standing still in the club. feel it , play it ,love it

marcin czubalas track titles are starting to closely mirror his career path. like a swift gazelle czubala bounces back and forth between mobilee records and nick curlys 8bit recordings, leaving in his wake a trail of triumphant releases. >zoo comunale< springs czubala back to mobilee after the success of his >minskaya< ep on 8bit, and jumping in the cage with him is none other than well renowned artist hugo. an impressive discography and busy touring schedule have made hugo a reputable name in clubs around the globe. as a fan of his jazz educated, funk inspired sound czubala approached hugo to collaborate. the subsequent intertwining of these two musical animals produced >zoo comunale<, its bouncy grooves and hypnotic loops tinged with a bit of funk. animalistic stuff. >zoo comunale< is comprised of two tracks, a-side >zoo comunale< and b-side >no tu no<, as well as a digital bonus track >polita<. every track has its own unique twist, each proving perfect for dance floors world wide. mobilee says welcome to the zoo, and enjoy!

second single from kylie auldists widely acclaimed made of stone album. on top of the big name lead track, this 12inch also features three other amazing reworks by hint, flevans and pth projects. add that collective mass of talent to the raw material of fast rising star auldists classic soul fuelled grown up pop, and this 12inch is guaranteed to be big news.

londons bass champion and one half of the infamous night slugs team is l vis 1990. a name synonymous with the whole uk funky / post garage and house movement thats proving to be the most exciting thing in electronic music right now. following releases on mad decent and tres cool, l vis is kicking off his new label (conceived with fellow tastemaker bok bok) alongside this weeks new release from mosca (check that), with two tracks that slew genres and blur all boundaries in their wake. originally released only digitally on dj orgasmic and teki latexs sound pellegrino label, compass and zahonda are now finally available on super loud vinyl. this is a limited edition.

7 oz. records has come to its 4th release in vinyl. label founders siddharta and mr. rovat have finally put the last touches to their musical debut with windy city lights, an explicit dedication to the sound which influenced them in the 90s. its an ep which relives those chicago and detroit atmospheres, enhanced by the solo trumpet played by acclaimed musician omar valle, who gives it a unique jazzy mood intertwined with drum machines and old school tools, an attempt to have the record play in an analogic manner.
the remix was handed over to none other than to brothers vibe, an historical name in the north-american deep and house scene. the result is filled with dub echos, undoubtedly detroit and perfect for any set!

2009 was a great year for these days records, and 2010 promises to be even better. the platform stood out for its innovative yet functional club sound and unique artwork concepts. the new year begins with a new split series under the name universal consciousness, based on the idea of connection between all things, and that all things have been coordinated, and they combine to make up the same universe. the first part is dedicated to two very different takes on spiritual, cosmic space techno. on the a-side argys >sometimes im blind< generates a long and uplifting emotional climax, which features a solo that will forever stay in your heart. the track was recorded at the end of 2008, and despite numerous offers to release the record elsewhere, nothing was finalised and the recording never saw the light of day. soon after the birth of his own label, it naturally fit the platform and seemed a perfect way to start the new year. on the flip side, sheffield born alexander ross, brings forth a cavernous techno piece awash with reverberation and spacial echos that brings a driving yet non the less emotionally captivating moment perfectly in balance with the depth of the a-side.

its been a while since i:cube hasnt deliver some fresh cuts! was he lost in a software??? hes back (a new album is also scheduled) to his early naive, deep and twisted spirit, but with a super tight modern production... falling is a sleazy funk track, a slow burner, which contains all the elements who made i:cube one of the most respected and innovative producers around since more than a decade!! heavy groove, hypno bassline, references to the early disco-dub music. un dimanche sans fin (neverending sunday) was done (as its name says) a sunday night, one shot, at the versatile studio. cube reconnects with his seminal dub-techno love, a track full of space and emotion. i would describe operation hypnosis as sheffield house. a solid beat and some bleeps will bring the dancer into a mental spiral...
