limited remastered reissue of the hugely in demand 12 inch release of pedestrians super phat slice of balearic grooviness >commuter fantasy<. massive on the cosmic scene after being championed by djs daniel baldelli and beppe loda, this record is extremely hard to get hold of in the original and commands super-high prices in internet auctions. despite being created by successful uk pop production duo swain and jolley, this only ever came out as a limited 12 inch in canada never getting a us or uk release but its italo-esque slow-building dreamily insistent sound has secured it a dedicated following amongst discerning disco and balearic lovers since.

token is 5 years old. i never planned to do anything special for this occasion. however, when i received these 2 new tracks from phase, all just fell into place. this release pretty much sums up what token stands for since day one. both tracks are fierce pieces of relentless yet deep techno, in-your-face yet very subtle rhythms, all credited to phases detailed drum programming, keen sense of atmospherics & sound processing.
what else.. except for the fact we flipped the graphic design a bit, we can tell you 2012 is going to be a busy year for token. there is a lot of exciting music floating around we definitely want to share with you soon, not just the usual suspects but also some new signings.
keep your ears peeled.

after 7 years of staying out of the limelight, mille & mr.hirsch (playhouse, newpolish, r.a.n.d. musik and much more!) are back with new material. the new imprint owes its name to a group of berlin artists called apollo krieg who produce fashion, artworks and whacky installation art. with berlin as their base, mille & mr.hirsch hang around & see much of their work influenced by the work of this group and decided to name it after this group of artists – true to the motto: nowadays the guys from apollo krieg also produce music. side a: (apollo/alpha) golden age is the classical, heart-warming, romantic and seemingly never-ending deephouse epic which finds its place somewhere between detroit house, balearic, jazz and funk. it is always a tad larger than life and opulent in harmony and melody but, with due to its well-defined instrumentalization, it seems somehow traditional. this track has a 9-minute arc of suspence and is devoid of any drum-machine orgies and razzle-dazzle a unique piece of shit!side k: (krieg/kokain) kinky love is a bit more modern, with more track, less melody and less music. the mix of strong samples (e.s.p./kinky go) with slightly dark and deep functional track make this 8-minute track a potential floorfiller! best regards apollo krieg berlin

this is the first part (of four) of the much anticipated reissue series of drexciya s early catalogue, marking 20 years since the release of their first ep deep sea dweller , and 10 years since their final album grava 4 . one of the most influential techno acts ever, and part of the heritage of detroits underground resistance, drexciya explored techno like no-one else before: raw and uncompromising music that reflected the harsh environment of the city where drexciya was conceived, with a mythical approach that only added to their cult appeal. drexciya arguably stands for the darker side of techno and electro, made not only for the club scene, but a further development of the music as an expression and extension of the mind. journey of the deep sea dweller is a near-complete collection of their early works, released in four parts, with all audio remastered from the original master tapes. since the original releases have such a strong character and stand on their own, these reissue can never recreate the magic of those originals. instead, clone have stirred up the catalogue, taking tracks out of their original context, giving the committed fan a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of drexciya.

chicagos richard pegue was one of the most intriguing figures to come out of the chicago soul scene in the 1960s and 1970s. raised during the citys fertile doo-wop era, pegue immersed himself in music immediately. he cut his chops as a mobile dj, record store clerk and recording artist before stepping into the booth as one of chicagos most enduring radio personalities to grace the citys airwaves. the nickel and penny labels featured in this compilation are twin sides of the same eccentric coin, pegue himself.

it had been since the dj qu remix of walt j that we did something on our subdivision petite. you know, this is where we like to re-release those forgotten pearls, with a new remix on the flip. this time we chose for >on and on< by italian-living-in-scandinavia raiders of the lost arp. in 2003 >on and on< appeared as the d2 track on his album >4<. but we thought this track is so great, it deserved a full a-side. on remix duties this time someone we have been wanting to work with since a long time, patrice scott. we have been following his sistrum label since the very first release, and he just never disappoints. neither does he this time.

alex and bill met 16 years ago when bill signed one of alex s first productions (is this the rhythm? by rhythmnvibe) to a new york label he was running. alex, whose father lives in the us, was a regular visitor to the states and they sent many happy hours together hanging out at the sound factory bar and comparing maw dubs. when bill returned to the uk in 1996, they had a few sessions together making house music, though neither of them can remember why they never finished anything or, indeed, what became of the tracks. fast forward a few years and they finally got back into the studio to make sweet music together under the moniker hotel motel. since then they have created a rich seam of work that some have already described as, like salvador dali with his pants down being fellated by deirdre barlow. few would disagree.

after making his way on institubes, surkin completed his first album which comes out on marble,among theses sixteen tracks, vocals featuring from ann saunderson (detroit),kevin irving (chicago) and two collaborations with his teammate bobmo (both together known under the name of high powered boys).an album that explores all facets of dance music!

surely with forward-looking ambitions, serbian fellow dejan milicevic drops his debut album trust and the purpose with style, non-compromisingly showing us how electronic music has no limits, only heart and soul is needed. he throws a good example how to gather different genres and styles into one great peace of art, one that certainly cant resist giving in without touching our heart.

terpsiton are proud to welcome to the gang the new faces of the scene and old friends of the label called themselves the scene. this strongly and catchy headline is wisely chosen and named after the legendary detroit based tv-show that turned usual men into celebrities over night. it absurdly and hilariously demonstrates how to get a name and how to get fame just by being marked as a celebrity. so, these well talented guys that are totally into the deep and underground house stuff vault themselves into the scene by releasing this ass-kicking and groundbreaking record that is full of catchy and lovely hook lines, forcing kick drums, intense arrangements and a true passion for the house movement as it was back in the days. on two songs (feist movement & lab) the scene is supported by two other new gang members soon to be well known namely as niki and franz b. werner who add their feel and taste of sounds. a unique blend of individuals, great sounds and real emotions that will make history. never mind the celebrities - here comes the scene!

after two years an-2 is breaking the silence with his new ep demonstrating a fully refreshed sonic palette he has been in the search of. built over a quirky synth bass line, >beside me< is filled with all the right melodic elements that walk a thin line between sounding baroque yet minimalistic at the same time. >chronos<, named after the greek god of time, rolls on like the second hand on a clock face - surely fit for an early night dance floor it will never become an anachronism in your record collection. and finally, >dare< which combines all the usual suspects: a funky bass guitar, dreamy arpeggios and ethereal pads - is set to please any discerning crowd!

in the psychedelic late sixties there was a lively music scene in the canterbury area that revolved around the band the wilde flowers. they never recorded much themselves, however, but after they disbanded other influential bands were formed from their ashes: gong, soft machine, and, most importantly, caravan.
caravans eponymous debut was released in 1968. it was considered a groundbreaking album capturing the freakish and exploratory moods of the times. their sound went much further than the changing styles of the contemporary underground and that is what distinguished caravan from other bands in their genre.

after hearing this release, one could ask himself why petar dundov and gregor tresher never did something together before?

thomas hesslers ep is the first player through crepuscular shafts & sonic subways.. beware the trail. first track - lost - cements you into a vacuum of suffocating synths that precede a poundin kick.. you are propelled into a tunnel. the bridge of the track is a course in restraint, giving way to menacing drive & looping side sticks.. siren like washes takes hold, swirling & disorientating the listener. on the flip, - 12 channel madness - best conveys the tone and atmosphere of the release. the murky darkness & pace feels inhuman to the core, but not without infectious rhythm breakdowns with flavors of old & nu skool shuffle timbres. these tracks are also - tools - that do not sacrifice on complexity. the haunting synth washes carry us through but offer no comfort. insanity & intensity reaches catharsis but never overpowers the overall mix. - berlin movement - is the final track on the ep that affirms you are still inside the tunnel. the incisive hook lines impel you to find your way out. the kick is more subdued forcing you to go with the melody until the break & bridge lapses back & the restraint builds to hypnotic frenzy. a dry, howling wind prevails.. filtered and distorted. thomas hessler succeeds in taking us through his tunnel of contradictions: alluring, menacing, emotional yet coldly detached. listen up: you might not escape !

after the huge succes of its tenth release (davide squillace & guti), hideout is back with with the third slice of the deconstruction revisited series. this time, crocodile tears, which appeared on davide squillaces tutti frutti ep (ho003) got offered three amazing relectures. it all starts with mr robert dietz (cadenza, cecille ...), who delivers a super modern and energetic relecture, where intelligent synthetic percussions mess around with weird noises and processed effects. after two minutes a monophonic synths starts its battle with vocals from squillaces original to end up on a more minimal groove. gflame aka portugese techno start cisco ferreiras (the advent) relecture directly sets the tone: a nasty bassline with a crazy synth stab flies over a soft but very heavy techno beat, to evolve to an elegant tech house track (no bongos involved). finally sis, the man behind cocolino imprint, reinterpretation starts with a long intro with the kick dropping after more than 3 minutes. the melancholic feeling of the track builds into a very subtile beat with reverbered elements all over. the percussion layers and delicate melodic synths add some organic flavour to the music so the 14 minutes remix is never boring and takes you to a nice journey thru sounds. you can tell somebody was in love when making such a beautiful song. another must have from hideout!

following edit maestro onur engins debut release on gamm was never going to be easy. but once again he delivers two excellent and respectful rewires of perennial classics from james mason & kool & the gang. quality!

the outside agency and sei2ure had never collaborated until this release, and in retrospect they were most likely doing the world a favor. the simple reason for this is that the two monsters theyre letting loose upon the world on this release can only be described as extremely dangerous. the outside agencys signature hard-hitting kicks and drum & bass percussion combine with sei2ures hard-hitting everything to provide weaponry for the next two millennia. this is definitely one of the most hardcore releases on one seven five thusfar. guaranteed to work on any dancefloor it finds in its path as per usual. no negotiating. no hostages.

david nizet has been around in the belgian underground techno scene for ages, we mean early nineties. he was part of the 6th sense collective during the mid 90s with releases on dave angels rotation and the legendary belgian label re-load records. despite a detroitish nostalgic touch in his productions, small modern minimalist influences gently creep in to all his tracks to turn them into brilliant pieces of never outdated, or should we say evergreen, techno.
with past releases on aesthetik, mowar, labrynth and played by marcel fengler, markus suckut, matt o brien, jamie behan, .. (the list is too long actually), he is definitely up there with the big ones.

combining gangsta cornrows with a classical background, alicia seamlessly blends strong melodies and hip hop beats with classic arrangements. now, ten years after release, the sound of this album hasn’t dated, like the artist that created it, it has ripened and earned a worthy place in the pantheon of pop music!
