not quite one year after his exceptional album sworn, anders ilar is back with his new cellular memories ep. its four tracks could be regarded as a safe cure for uninspired strictly functional dj-sets. you probably wont find many records which are that packed with enchanting sounds and melodies, longing emotions combined with infectious solid grooves. from the dubby back to square one, over the minimal massive 808 kicks in hazard ahead and the dramatic but blissful clicky and groovy ulterior motives, to the stunning choral epic ocean sonata, cellular memories ep is a musical pleasure and another masterpiece and of course a must for fans of anders ilar.

dualism are kwamina and gab from zurich. they produce music since 2005 and had their debut release on pheeks label archipel >dualism speech defect ep< in 2006.
today their sound appears minimally as twisted, queer-melodic deep and wicked techno with much love to the detail. their sound surprises with unconventional rhythm-structures and many-layered sound-design. their distinctive style and preference for idiosyncratically and broken sounds as well as the clever use of vocal snippets is always present on their productions.
the name-giving track of this ep is remixed by dapayk and also by estroe.

four track ep by label owner aroy dee.
the first track >once u loved<, is warm and emotional, with slowly evolving strings topped with mysterious whispering vocals, reminding to older blake baxter material. 2nd track, >tears< is a fierce and sexy chicago-house influenced dancetrack, with a solid baseline, steady beats and lush keys.<br 7>first track on the b-side is >lift me high<, a downtempo dreamlike analogue house classic with haunting strings and vocals of miss salvador, merging larry heard and g-strings with an italo-disco kind of atmosphere. last on this ep is >soul spark<, an atmospheric techno track with the raw energy of early relief-releases and the psychedelia of dance mania.

get ready for some deep and banging techno-tracks which will shake any dancefloor around the globe for sure. produced by french artist brian burger, nachtstrom schallplatten delivers two highly functional monster-tunes which are perfectly representing what this label stands for: powerful, driving, pumping and always rolling peaktime-tunes which will definitely satisfy the needs of any serious techno enthusiast out there.

constant development in stagnating musical landscapes is the key to remain catchy as an artist these days. adrian martin & eleminal are always yearning for progress. >la calma<, their new release on miniload gives you a listen on their growing sophistication. an adroit beat conduction married to a sneaky bass giving birth to a tremendous and powerful musical moment, peppered with hidden hooks and a savory break. >la calma< is smoother than previous releases by adrian & eleminal without condemning a certain roughness of preceding collaborations. tom clark (highgrade records) follows that footprint, though adding a more frontal bass paired with a dreamy almost breathed on jazzy feel melody construction. miniload artists doppelt gemoppelt are redefining >la calma< in a straighter harmonization. no vanilla - just a clear and well structured body, adding cushy noises and warm imbedded waves.

support from andre rozzo, alex jones, so inagawa, jamie jones, matthew styles-harris, laurent garnier, steve lawler, nic fanciulli. luna records is a new uk based label from respected club promoter/ dj/ producer paul bowen, the man behind middlesbroughs infamous >riff raff< events. the label is set to release music from some pretty well established artists with an emphasis on stripped back chunky house music and in that vein the debut single sees the much hailed german producer chris lattner step up get the imprint firing in the right direction. lattner has been djing for the best part of two decades, initially gracing the decks at hannover techno parties before word of his talent spread, seeing him strike out to play across germany. he has hosted a radioshow for australias pulse radio, worked as a booking agent for lessizmore and has had releases on labels such as einmaleins musik and wba. his passion for electronic music has shone through in everything he has done and led him to produce some great records, to which can now be added the luna debut >memory<. this single release kicks off with lattners original of >memory<, a solid tech driven slice of house with heavily effected vocal samples and a simple floor shaking groove. this is understated underground house music at its best, deep chunky and highly effective. first of the two remixes comes from ex-peace division man justin drake, who builds on the vibe of the original, thickening out the drums and layering some heavy filters over the sythn stabs to great effect. a straightforward and highly effective arrangement provides everything that is needed in this excellent reworking. finally we have a remix from bearweasel, who have been providing choice cuts in house music over the last year via labels such as tsuba, supernature, bloop and murmur. for their >lazy dub< they take things back to basics and turn in a slab of deep and dubby house with an emphasis on razor sharp percussion and earth moving bass. this is a superb debut from a label that is sure to become a major fixture in 2010.

inspired by a post nuclear structure, its time to building up a solid fortress to avoid natural catastrophes. while obtane is constructing a solid and deep basement of stormproof pulsations and dry rhythms, giorgio gigli is finishing up the work adding ultramoody and mind blowing atmospheres to make your new home a perfect heaven.

bloop recordings are fast becoming a favourite on the european house scene, finding favour with djs across themusical divides and establishing themselves with a reputation for quality releases and outstanding remixpackages. the labels latest endeavour sees them skip a catalogue number (apparently the number 14 is unlucky ineast tradition according to half chinese label owner jose belo) and land firmly at bloop15 with the help of two of germans hottest production talents. alex niggemann has had an incredible year, recording for the likes ofsupernature, 8bit, meerestief and micro.fon and propelling himself into the upper echelons of berlins electronic music community with his solid production and highly touted djsets.

leeds based audiojack stormed on to the scene with their chart busting single >robot<, back in 2006. since then theduo have stayed true to the leeds house institution that is 20/20 vision, releasing multiple 12 inches and an album over the last 3 years. one can only imagine how giddy we are to finally slot these nice young chaps for a release on get digital. anchored by a smattering of effects, quirky soundsand sliced up vocals - that even a sushi chef would bow in approval of – made it almost easy to crown >kicks forkicks< the a-side. although storming right from the get-go, it is the two break-downs that build up to reintroduce the beats that provide a dramatic tension effect, withoutsacrificing their credibility. a tune equally affective as it is infectious.

volume 3 showcases more of the unique tropical music created in panama in the fertile decades of the 1960s and 70s. panama is the thin, tropical bridge that connects north and south america, and is home to three million culturally diverse people, its music is a soulful blend of latin american, caribbean, european and indigenous forms. from bilingual calypsos to guajira jazz, from tropical guarachas to cumbia tamboreras, panamanian musicians fearlessly combined and brilliantly executed styles that reflected their multicultural environment during a turbulent time in the young countrys history. this collection presents more of the golden age of panamanian music and the music of the combos nacionales on rare recordings that have never been released outside the isthmus until now.
