every so often a new artist on the dumb unit roster steps up and bats one out of the park. case in point, our man from essen : tim querengaesser: aka pherox. the panthers walk ep is an expressive and bombastic ode to a night that goes boom! sultry lyrics voiced by tim himself and guest lee curtiss sit firmly over top of tims excellant and chugging under groove. the panthers walk is an exciting slab of music for any dj and one that will certainly bring pherox and his brand of funk into a more deserving light.

pressed on coffee coloured vinyl. supported by slam / nick warren / onionz / shur i kan / terry francis & more.

2010 was an incredible successful year for nosferatu, with no doubt the biggest highlight of them all, hosting his own area at trillogy 2010! as a tribute to this night he hit the studio with some of his good and well - known friends in the scene, which resulted into this wonderful 4 tracker on enzyme records. the tracks sick of it all (feat. evil activities) and hate on yourself (feat. the viper) can already be called real floor fillers.poop (feat. ruffneck) and hope dissolves (feat. outblast) have a more experimental character, but they definitely know how to bring movement to every dance floor around the globe!

art-nr2 is the third release in art records remaster series following on from carl craigs >psyche/bfc< and kirk degiorgios >nairobi ep<. promenade eleven lives up to the billing of those illustrious predecessors, being a reverse-engineered remake of >night on the promenade< which originally appeared in limited quantities on the new religion label in 2006 under the name >super-a-loof<.
labelled at the time as a successor to classic techno tracks such as derrick mays >the beginning< and rolandos >knights of the jaguar<, this re-make will finally bring it to the wider audience it deserves via the art label.
promenade eleven (original mix) adheres faithfully to the original arrangement but has been re-recorded and totally remixed from the ground-up for a modern club sound.

taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.

marco zenker, the wonderboy from munich is up and looking for freedom again with his second record on ilian tape. invisible shadows was discovered by ourselves on the last ilian tape warehouse party back last year. when we heard it the first time on a big system - even marco himself - we were pretty surprised. its building up slowly and leads into a very open space - the perfect track to give the night another direction. remain silent after you heard that side and open your ears for the b side that sends us into a different sphere. here we go down. you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne - it has the same vibe as osho ashram s back then hosted by f. fuhlert. finally we have a tripping remix from one of the hottest dutch guys at the moment - conforce. known for his releases on meanwhile, delsin or rush hour he shows once again why holland is thechicago of europe. its just free spirited, soulful and openminded. qualities we are missing here more or less in bavaria. so we are trying to open up and change things. the time will come. kiss

paul hughes and aruba teaming up for this latest offering from siesta music. >these days< is a lush late night groover, combining a rich bassline with a drifting vocal stab, tight beats, and dubby chords for some quality deep house. aruba adds a little old skool flavor to his >those drumz mix< via new analog synth lines and a new bassline, while the beats, now more of a tribal rhythm, still keep the floor crowds moving. the >those nights mix< will throw you all off, with the track slowed to a crawling skank with a deep bassline and recliner beats pitting wits with a slowed down take of the vocal.

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

its an album, its deep, its acid, its fragile, its party, its lonely, its all together, its music itself, its special, its rvds with his >moments<. after the ep >waiting, kiss and love< comes the album now. inspired by classic deep and acid house. good to listen to these old instruments: tr-808, roland jp-6, wurlitzer e-piano and some other specials combined with new accents, but always a love to detroit music.

light sounds dark combine forces with fellow marshmallows psychemagik on a ride to the other side and as one would expect from these two a variable treasure trove of a selection plucked from all corners of the known galaxy and far beyond.

the title track >juneau< comes at you with force, grace and a warm low end perfect for a late night or an early morning. pier bucci and crazy larry aka glacier really work the knobs and controls to create a melodic yet refined sound. this is definitely the most emotional track on the release, usually evoking quite a response from the dance floor. play this at the right time and you will have a smile on your face for sure.

hot off their >night lights< release on planet e, the oliverwho factory returns on rush hour with their new single >galactic transit<. with >galactic transit< they deliver another hot slice of raw and sexy detroit house music. a great piece of 21st century soul!

supported by: radio slave, robert dietz, lauhaus, alex celler, matt tolfrey, slam, anthea, konrad black, anthony collins,.. air london presents the debut solo release from adam shelton. already releasing music with subb-an (either as subb-an & shelton or under their sas guise), air trax marks the first full release for adam in his own right, and its one hell of an introduction. both tracks here have been made for the late night hours as adam shelton really gets into his gritty groove with this speaker-busting double hitter. >crazy talk< starts off with a hypnotic rolling drumbeat and a fixating, echoing vocal that builds until the driving bassline kicks in and leaves you hooked. on the flip >do not attempt< is another killer cut with clipped broken beats and crisp hi-hats. a shady vocal, uttered throughout, is swathed in siren cries and more brooding bassline

sheffield trio standard fare had a great 2010 that saw the release of debut album >the noyelle beat< festival appearances at latitude, indietracks, in the city and swn and two us tours, including playing at sxsw. it was on their us travels that they met pop soul mates one happy island.

slamming classic chicago house, now 2011 with fresh updated edits

2010 has been a massive year for jozif, emerging as one of the most talked about artists in house music. the follow-on from the first sell-out edition, “beats in space”, “brick jane” goes further to cement his place as one of the vanguard of the london music scene, and propel fist or finger to the status of a buy-on-sight label. jozif’s title track – the dancefloor focused ‘fist’ of the package – goes in deep, the momentum continuously building as the track twists and turns through a landscape of deep slabs of bass assured deployment of subtle guitar plucks and piano chords, and dreamy xylophones. finally releasing into an epic crescendo, jozif only allows the moment to last just long enough, before all the elements are stripped right back as the journey starts all over again. brick jane draws out a journey, continuing to morph and subtly affix new elements throughout its 7 minutes. the arrangement is simple yet the progression is deft, subtle and effective, creating a vibe that can be employed at any given time of the night, offering a truly different context. craig’s ‘finger’ re-interpretation picks up the thread where his “beats in space” remix left off. crackling static laced with woozy atmospheres and paranoid utterings flip the vibe of the original completely on its head. richards displays a completely unique ability to stretch the original track far beyond its character into a completely different dimension, building a warped soundscape that feels as though it was recorded in a chasm deep deep underground. a mind-bending journey from a truly multi talented artist, in the truest sense of the word

the 5th release on the newly-formed wetyourself recordings sees the label continue on its unique techno journey. born out of their weekly sunday night parties at fabric in london, the label pushes on with its monthly release schedule of quality music.
