i never told you on the a side is a deep grooving soulful piece of underground house music. flip for the latin flavoured on the other side and i got love for you - another deep grooving journey

train of thought is not only significant for being the latest album by detroit legend terrence dixon but for being yores premiere full length release. the albums tracks range from 80s sounding cybotron like excursions to raw, stripped down techno and warm, chord driven house alike tunes. the double vinyl set includes rapturous settings of synthetic sound and swinging cuts whose burbling keys, pounding kick drums, and brisk hi hats evoke the brilliant sheen of detroit techno. though his music may invite comparison to drexicya and atkins, dixons music often imitated but never duplicated ultimately stands alone.

its now pig&dans turn to release the next big thing in the cocoon recordings universe. their electronic house sound – closer to techno than to guy gerbers deep house as regards content – is a perfect image of what is happening on the planet s dancefloors. trippy and driving electronic beats which are never flamboyant are combined with filigree basslines, giant spherical spaces and weird sounds in long sophisticated arrangements: modern minimal house with a good share of techno.

the term legend is applied to many djs and producers without credence, louie vega is one of the elite few who truly warrant the title. from the latin influences that shaped the early stages of his career, through his inspired partnership with kenny dope gonzalez as master at work, to his winning a grammy in 2006, louie vega is one of the true pioneers of house music. here, louie takes you on a personal journey through the music of his life, entwining salsa, jazz, samba, funk and soul into the house lead beats and grooves, producing a mix more than worthy of his fêted ability. this is house music at its very finest

monster debut release ! …although they have enjoyed some vinyl success (add in sneaky rmx, kitsune rmx, k.i.m. rmx) they have never got to walk out of the housecarrying their own 12inch slab of slick grooved black plastic

promise land is a solid deep soulful groove created by koyla. the demo floated around the bombay itunes player for a few of weeks, we needed someone to tear this track up. we tried a couple of options it wasnt working this groove needed something killer. thats were good friend jrod indigo come into play, san fran neo soul singer decides to come into lovely vancouver to hang for a while at bombay studio hq, and thats were the story starts for this track. jrod writes and lays down his song and creates the promise land over koylas ripping hooks and players. everyone is diggin the direction, timmy comes in and throws in some backups, inhouse producers sean dimitrie and nav take all the parts and put together a b side. the awaaz mix takes the track into a late night bumping funky direction with ambient tripped out textures and hard detroit style chords. overall this is a classic style ep with a real organic disco avour, that will never die for us. koyla and jrod are true musicians and deserve the fullest respect in this genre.

two outstanding forgotten house classics from the cbag vaults, first up is long lost gem >racing tracks<, which appeared originally on umm in 1993, a villalobos classic with a minimal funky house break, a rolling bass line and racing car samples, on the flip is an exclusive derrick carter edit of the 1988 acid house classic >downfall< by fellow chicago legend armando - this version has never before been released on vinyl

originally released in 2003. this is a journey into finest deep house made in germany

awesome pre cosmic afro piece by albatros that found favour with a whole host of the italian djs. only on a 7inch and never available in this extended version until now. on the flip theres temptation by tullio di piscopo. everyone knows stop bajon by mr piscopo but there are also a few awesome and very hard to find earlier releases from the primavera man. this is insane percussion driven european funk remastered for massive dancefloor action

after his collaboration with label head daniel stefanik for cargo edition 003, sven tasnadi steps up for his first solo release. >el fuego de dentro< features those typical relaxed grooves that remind us of endless mediterranean summer afterhours, hitting exactly that specific spot of abeyance between euphoric celebration and absolute physical exhaustion. his bass drum is never obtrusive but always compelling. svens tracks are ultimately funky, full of funny little sounds swirling around. and not to forget, with >2190 días contigo< mr. tasnadi reveals his epic qualities as well. with this record, mr. tasnadi definitely proves that he is a guy you need to watch out for in the future.

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer

the follow up to the club stomper da beat kicks, might just prove to be an even bigger dancefloor bomb. spiced up with a little urban twist, push me shows rootzmaster basoskis never ending love for house music!

hot rockin electro house trax by david guetta on this double vinyl called >pop life< !! feat steve angello, sebastian ingrosso, el tocadisco, chris willis, jd davis and many more

again and again, for the second time in a month for a double bill dancefloor winner. highly sought after and hard to find electro rock version of chicagos house pioner juan atkinss cosmic car, opens this 12inch cover version, from the mid 80s, has reached cult status among those in the know, but has became so hard to locate that it never properly crossed over onto the overground club culture world. we hope to give this masterpiece a second chance to reach his highly deserved broader audience. totally highly essential! b side gets back to the european funk mysteries. massive funk disco instrumental from holland, with all the elements that make a classic.. well, classic actually, but with only 7inch and album versions available at the time, this pure slice of delight never made it to most djs flycases. heres your chance to grab this one, on a slightly re touched 12inch version by our d.classics men nico & pierrot.

these swedish producers never cease to amaze with their disco-fantastical production skills. this new tune is no exception. song fot edit is a lovely club journey instrumental with drawn-out strings, plucks, and jabs. almost moroder-esque, itll be quite difficult to decide which of the two mixes, original or club, to play. well then you may just have to play both.

burn me up will appeal to a wide house music audience including all those catch that love stuff from jesse rose, switch and those cats, its nasty but nice! endor has been played and approved several of times by raoul belmans and is just one of those light and funky tunes that are really hard to get out of your head when you hear them. last but not least we have get down, rock it out which brings the 80s partyvibe right back at your doorstep like they were never gone

stefan engblom and olle cornéer aka dada life have caused a massive stir in electro house land. or shall we call it la la land? anyway, after impressing releases on imprints like mylos breastfed, john dahlbäcks pickadoll, fatboy slims southern fried and rise records its now time for a kickin release on the alphabet city label platform >this machine kills breakfasts< is as crazy as the title already suggests. lunatic stabs, kickin beats and funky peaktime action, you have never heart before

summer mega-ton-bomb – sure shot!! balearic is a word which few people really understand. it can mean whatever you want it to mean, but it has always been vaguely associated with ibiza, hippies, deep tropical dance music, and british football hooligans who grew hair, showered less, and became djs. but forget those 90s british for now, there that feels better! with this special release, which we have kept quarantined on its own tuning spork extra label, we are bringing you that balearic vibe with a deep and dubby 00s house music twist. and for us, this is the record of the summer. so prepare yourself for a massive collaboration project from the social beings. this is not some duo youve never heard of, in fact its label boss jay haze (fuckpony / bearback / krak street boyz) and his friend, modern day techno legend ricardo villalobos… one piece of information which is true, unlike those ones, is that haze and villalobos are now huge figures in the house and techno world. and they are indeed social beings

stomping disco house madness !! limited dj promos

archipel brings in two of its friends from uk, newcomer sozadams and moes ferry superstar croatian luka & lazo, for its fifth vinyl outing >tahiti excursion vol. 2< on which soz takes the a side and luka & lazo take the b side both bringing the dirty warehouse funk. soz starts things off with >broken thought< which is a thumping, sweaty late night floor mover which is sure to bend limbs in ways never witnessed before. >liars chair< is a slightly slower pusher which twists and melts along through corroded vocal snippets and dark polyrhythmic moments. luka & lazo take the same attitude of dark funk from sozs a side journey and shred it into a million pieces. >the safe< is a warmer tinged funk but still keeps things moving and grooving while >mood mode< jacks along and rips up a world of digital fabric. archipel keeps up the quality with ease and this is yet another piece of aural evidence to prove it

never change a winning team: tjark s first ep on karatemusik was played from djs all around the world! now he is back with 3 new tracks - essential tunes! incl. audiophile remix

incl. pig & dan rmx!! a big epic masterpiece for the open-airs ! with frank müller aka beroshima, we welcome one of germanys senior techno house producers, who is combining the best from both house and techno already since 1994 - long before the implementation of the term >tech-house<. whereas frank müller just like guy gerber was never caught between two stools but rather has the rare talent to reach both house and techno fans with his productions. and so he does again with his cocoon debut >horizon<, an hommage which reminds of the grand ol times of r&s, with xxl suspense, driving beats and hypnotic sounds and melodies

zwei neue druckvolle tracks vom schweizer apoll (tongut) !! incl joachim spieth and novatek reworks

the next release for urban myth features two sides of electro boogie heaven from tugg with urban myths trademark rejuvenation of some classic disco joints. the system is already receiving great responses from dancefloors across the world. this 80s classic gets beefed up with some tough drums, and extra effects. on the flip we have another track that will sound familiar, but you aint never heard it like thiiiis! extra keys from urban myths own xavier zubercock trips this version out to make a fresh new mix that will be a welcome addition to all lovers of the original. both sides are also backed with sirens and jet planes that will become invaluable tools to all djs wanting to trick out their sets

>the dawn< is a moody, undulating cruiser of a track, which will subtly but surely make a dancefloor feel a sense of sunrise, whatever time of day or night. busy, clicky percussion sets the scene for a full-bodied, rising, almost trancey bassline to take control. t ups the intensity with real dancefloor nous and precision programming, layering distressed synth sounds and heavily treated keys atop each other while never losing sight of the tracks fierce ,fundamental groove. ‘the dawn’ builds and builds, by turns dropping out the percussion and the bassline, every departure and return a heads-down, hands-aloft dancefloor moment. the crisp snares and rich, melodic notes of delay add even more depth to what is already an essential tune. b-side >jam pot< is more playful, and driven by a classic physical bass melody - at once intimate and techy, dubby and dancefloor-urgent, gritty but optimistic. again, the attention to detail on the percussion takes this track to the next level, and jazzy keys provide an organic ontrast to the robotic blips and bleeps.

incl. a huge my my remix !! simon baker has been playing records for over 15 years now. being a true aficionado, his versatile and passionate dj sets are never bound to just one style. he is a firm believer of “if it’s good, play it”. his passion for deep electronic house and techno is further fortified by releases on his own imprint infant records. 2007 has been a brilliant year for simon so far, his fast-growing reputation is proven by current residencies at a number of uk’s acclaimed underground house nights including asylum & technique at the warehouse in leeds, and ddd at the key in london. apart from connaisseur, simon has recently been signed up to german top house label playhouse, and has also been picked by steve lawler as his worldwide support dj. for us, he opens his pandora’s box of production and delivers a masterpiece of current club music

sven dohse is back to knock you off your feet with two more magnificent tracks. crusher means to break your bones not with violence, but force-wise. this dry bassline just pretends to be tame – like the whole ensemble does in the beginning. but initial conditions change persistently until you awake twirling in a gloomy moment of house. so compulsive it stinks. so offhand it hurts. so self-evident it makes you wanna scream. way after midnight weaver uplifts out of a sentiment of infinity. warm layers of sound come floating above an abyss hardly indicated. time barely scratches the surface of this pocket epic telling you on and on again: tomorrow never comes

bryan jones returns to his own ringside imprint in good form. with him are newcomers j lettow and william alexander from lingo recordings fame. kicking off is make you move a pure funk bomb, complete with stellar piano and horn loops and those trademarked bryan jones drums that never fail. next up is vibe like tonight is the pick of the platter. building up with a tough as nails disco loop that drops into a delicious groove half way through. flip for hold tight a sinfully sleazy hip house jam already receiving massive support from the usual suspects. last is rub on the fat booty, another rap sample fiasco with a bumpy bassline, vocal bits and a very twisted vibe

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

massive hi class dubbin raggae classics / paul st hilaire on the backing vocals !!

twisted tech house and percussive disco grooves fused together by new yorks hottet new producer talent!! this is part 1 of 2

ultraphat teaser track to the upcoming koletzki album... limited pic disc edition ...grab your copy, but be fast, it will never be repressed!!

after several side-projects as sid lerock and gringo grinder, pan/tone is now back with >dr. pyckle and mr. pryde<. >the tear jerker< is one of these elegiac anthems, building up more and more in a way you never want it to end. the flip resurrects the momories of the good old school of cologne - back then, when minimal was still pristine, and the groove as the fundamental element was still wirth something. as a bonus there s a remix by kimberly & clark, accentuating the track with some bleepy bliss, and loads of 808

the sebo k and metro partnership makes its debut on get physical with >transit<: these upcoming house producers are so hot that this ep almost melts the vinyl that its pressed on! transit looks to the past and the future at the same time: inspired by old school chicago house but boasting a modern techno approach to arranging, the nagging bass riff at the heart of >transit< builds and builds along with sebo and metro s evocative chords to create a track that will raise the roof on any club during the peak time. >transit< never loses its raw, hypnotic groove either, and after it reaches a climax, the sparse, raw rhythm is still there, urging the dancers to keep moving. philly producer king britt dons his scuba hat to provide the remix: its more understated than the original version, based on an off-beat groove, but, like a thief slipping through an open door in the middle of the night, britts reshape gradually introduces the hypnotic chords. before you know it, his remix will have seduced any crowd who love deep, electronic house music. get a move on to pick up on this future house classic!

this dutch based production team comes to king st. with a solid lovely soulful yet energetic ep. the thick rhythms & twangy guitar of believe is followed by the handsome & deeply basslined cover story, a nice flowing light jazzy piano keyed & guitar riffed instrumental. switch is up next delivering more cool house lounge effect with some sexy sax thrown in for great measure. rounding out this debut ep is never let go, a moody, almost cinematic, deep lounge & house rhythmed production that will cross many genres of club. these all strike a nice balance between the club & lounge bringing a nice even flow to the dancefloor

the never resting dole & kom present three more productions from their wintercollection

the new haiti groove comes with a nice filtered summer house tune by norwegian guys bjorn kaarud and john moss. incl a more electro house proggy flavoured remix by christian sol and a funk driven remix by dj vitamin d. supported by deep dish, jesse garcia and grant nelson

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

with the vulva string quartett and via combination records leichtmann makes a poppy techhouse house sound as a present to the world. sharp - wittedly playful 4 - to - the - floor - beats are dancing to glamours, intoxicating synthie sounds and flirting with deep soundtrack - atmospheres. never too hard, always catchy and definitely extremly seductive

world turns around is another one from the hotmix 5 lp. never on a 12inch to our knowledge. heavy hypnotic acid house. the slight hiss noticable in the intro is on the original recording. why why why (live version) is the fast live version. a balearic classic
