while everyone else was enjoying the summer of the century ( and probably the world cup ) the botox boys hurled themselves in the studio and indulged into a cosmic electronic >kraut< session. on the hard stomping >lada rock< cosmo vitelli lays down a stoic one note bassline and grants tekels julien briffaz some time to get freaky with hard metallic, stumbling beats behind his drumkit before skanking guitar chords preludes several minutes of countless dramatic organ and synth erruptions. after this wild freak-out your body gets a rest, its now the mind that gets messed with, the slow moving >drive by shooting< with its neverending, grinding, menacing cascades of hot-lava like synth tides sounds like a dark balearic tune on bad acid

new and special project at justified cause: union of two friends, both acknowledged spanish electronic artists, for an electronic fusion of 4 dimensions deep house hypnotism. this time garcy noise takes by his side paper a.k.a pablo bolivar (regular records), who scored big with his last lp >anjanas<, a real showcase of his unique sound. they are flowing together in a far away journey, connecting once again with their original deep feels. i dont understand: stands between sharp hypnotic minimal soundscapes, while - the touch: an electronic new deep treat, with a splendid interstellar electro-orchestral closure marks a return to the first deep house moods of garcynoise on d.press industries

cesare vs. disorder returns to the studio with argentinean partner perro magnetico with this deep and hypnotic four tracker that will help further cement the mean london sound. a deep and brooding first track introduces twisted, down tuned vocals and liquefied layers built inside tight arrangements before a throbbing bass takes the driving seat. a2 holds a playful and quirky electronic excursion >clarete< warming us up with romantic, light melodies. on the b side, ale ross aka perro magnetico drives you deeply into the sunset with two minimal gems that build but never explode. a demonstration of where minimal techno could go from these two young artists.. a must have for all minimal fans / sleeparchive fans!!!

again the boys of slam mode are back in the house and this one is no less slammin. >neveah< is a mish mash of volatile electronic percussion that creates nothing less than so nic mayhem. this mayhem expands riding steady underneath melodic yet techy strings. >afuera de sitio< departs through endless atmospheric melodies and piercing synth lines. the rapis linear movement transfers the pulsing microrhythms and hybrid sub bass into the void. another solid outing for fans of deep techy yet soulful and organic releases ala ame >rej< and the new flavors being pushed by claussell and francois k

recent perc releases such as >splashy< and the >razor ep< have been supported by michael mayer, james holden, slam, ozgur can, nathan fake, jesse somfay, marc ashken and avus !! opening track >strange ways< is one of perc s finest productions to date with a slow, shuffling electronic groove underpinned by a huge bassline. this leads to a jaw-dropping breakdown built around a floor-destroying bass attack. on the b-side >yeah< fuses together minimal techno with the london >fidget< house sound to create something unique. again a heavy bassline plays a large part in the track, as does an unforgettable vocal drop. finally >blocked barrel< is a slice of 2006 style neo-rave mixing driving electronic house with the stabbing hardcore riffs of the early 90s

released across 2 separately packaged 12s, feeling free could be the closest thing to a summer anthem that soul music has had in quite a while !! hoop , whose soulclap updates of 90s hip-hop classics have garnered praise and plays from all angles, has worked his sample-adelic magic using jazz pianos and horns to bring fresh harmonies to an already musically rich work. coming across like a drum heavy quantic, this mix is one for the beat heads, as is its flip-side partner, which is delivered by natural self , (breakin bread /tru thoughts). as usual his drums are raw, his bass looms large and the authentic live funk feel is kept alive and heavily kicking

mowgly aka sinbad aka marathon men has managed to impress us yet again with another great house 12 on the increasingly prolific freerange.solar systems is a deep house odyssey with lush mellow keys and tight grooves. and what is even more surprising is the choise of remixer domu. his mix of solar system is a great glitched out piece of afro broken beat. the perfect crossover record? most definitely

eveybody s gay... suggests however a musical idea that could not be simpler, a kind of atonal electronic blues with a recurring motif. yet, everything hinges on keyboards riffs and song rendering which allow d.i.p to bowl us over exultantly. if everybody s gay... is playing on self-restraint, on the b-side perfect day launches a head-on attack on the dancefloor with overworked disco-techno-rock intentions…and, present as always, those acid-electro-gut-wrenching tones. we can also notice that florian s personality shines out in broad daylight, as if it was possible, amazingly playing on voices. seducing and convincing. everybody is definitely ok: if a second ep is always a decisive test for a producer, d.i.p. compels recognition on the popular credibility form. moreover those little brats take advantage of the opportunity to sign right through the sheet

nice price deal !!! the infrequent recording career of rob rives resumes with this chunky wave tec 12 which provides for twenty minutes of nice n crunchy electronic house, often verging on the techno side of things. melody attack takes a while to warm up, but once the miasma of jagged keys,grindy synths and clipped drums reaches their optimum level, things can only continue to climb. counter attack is a dubbier eleven minute excursion along the theme of the a side

nice price deal !!! cool & fresh electronic house with break elements similar to david guetta/the egg

repeat orchestra (aka stefan schwander aka antonelli electr., rhythm maker, one half of the duo swimmingpool as well as being behind >a rocket in dub<) returns with another 12inch in his purest form of his electronic soul, based around live-performances, orchestral instrumentations and deep house. in a post-modern manner, the >asafa chords ep< operates differently as opposed to the standard sampling clichès of standard house-tunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. the two pieces follow a minimal yet above the norm musical approach, with tricky and advanced rhythms and a strong groove that lets the listener dive deeper into the world of a one-man-band, who likes to express his version of afro-futuristic housemusic by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and lots more of his personal flavour into his production. . the result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor that will guaranteed stand out from the rest.

after a long time friendship and countless over-the-top partycrashes together, we are very happy to welcome our friend and one of our fave djs, mr. jens bond on highgrade. after his vinyl debut with guido schneider on steve bugs pokerflat recordings last year this is jens bond s second record to hit the streets. jens, who managed to establish himself as one of the true top djs within the berlin house scene, delivers a 12inch which represents his musical (and spinning) style of electronic dancemusic very well - dry, compulsive grooves, a very minimal-housy structure with deep aesthetics, perfect sound design and an overall superb float between the hard and the soft, exactly what we wanted from this guy and more!

if there is one overall trend to spot in the wide fields of electronic music over the last years, it is the reversion to emotion. in a time where tracks are becoming more and more anonymous tools, melodies, references to pop music and recognition are seen as a design element and not as a blemish. to be honest, this recurrence was desperately needed, because music was always at best when feelings and not the mathematic of clicks were at the centre of attention. soda inc. reached this point of intersection already with their debut album >full moon< one and a half years ago. with intense anthems such as flight su 118 babak shayan and jon silva have created the deepest and most pictorial vision dub related techhouse had to offer to our hearts and souls. a solid basis to build up for the early summer of 2006....
