throughout a recording career spanning almost two decades, dj stingray aka. sherard ingram a.k.a. urban tribe has consistently avoided the mainstream to create a musical world of his own. responsible for the early techno classic >covert action< on retroactive (reissued on planet e), ingram was joined by carl craig, anthony shakir and kenny dixon jr. (moodymann) for urban tribe s debut album >the collapse of modern culture< on mo wax and their latest project >program 1-12< released on kenny dixon jrs label mahogani music and the recent >loyal opposition< releases on planet e. touring as drexciya s official assault dj, stingray collaborated with james stinson for the >other people place ft. mystic tribe a.i.< project on clone in 2002. his two recent albums (>authorized clinical trials< and >acceptable side effects<) and singles for rephlex have remained true to their drexciyan descent, not through imitation but through remorseless innovation in electro aesthetics.

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011

in an era of heavy discotheque music played in dark cavernous spaces, light club offers a positive alternative with night bulbs. picture cruising down the highway in a 1985 volkswagon scirocco at 4am at a speed so fast that the passing lights blurrr into a sweeet neonesque glow. light club is that glow. almost like a ghost, a good one, not a scary one, perhaps the ghost of rick james... or nick nolte, wait, he is not dead yet. regardless >light club - night bulbs ep< is both a feeling and a moment caught on one spiffy myor 7 inch.

so, who or what is trajical bitch aka manager_111 akaka elec pt.1 akakaka trajical bitch akakakaka the minister? and why is this guy making dirty rough banging chi-house/d-techno hybrid-tracks in his own special way? born an raised in duesseldorf, andreas gehm, the mysterious man behind that all - moved to cologne a few years later. this proper guy stands not more or less for an uncompromising underground techno and house conspiracy, whether you label it bleepy dry minimal, glitchy acid-phonk or shimmering futura3000-cosmic-disco that definitely makes your ass move. the d stands for duesseldorf and the c for cologne, but of course these initials likewise pertain to detroit techno and chicago acid house.

public lover (ninca leece & bruno pronsato) return with another single aimed at bringing you into their humid world of dance music. naked figures is a bassline-driven story drunk on percussion and beauty. a track built on abstraction and elegance. a track quiet literally naked from its humble beginning to its anti-climactic ending. it’s an unassuming journey of class. it’s ninca & bruno uttering scenes of nakedness and dim lights… but is it a love song? we think not. it’s not about a one night stand either. it’s simple. it’s funk. it’s house. it’s techno. more importantly, it’s about making you dance. on the b-side, one half of the duo, bruno pronsato, steps up for remix duties.

known as one third of the notorious wetyourself crew, throwing parties and djing every sunday night at fabric in london, jacob has been releasing music since 2005 on different labels and under various guises.as a dj he is known for his fast mixing style of stripped down house and bouncy techno, which has made him a favorite in london and on the international underground dance scene, playing gigs all over europe and the world on a regular basis. the end of oct 2010 sees his debut release on the newly-formed wys! recordings with a very limited run of vinyl... do what you want by jacob husley is an upbeat rolling feel good record that has become become a steady ingredient of the sunday night wys! mix. featuring vocals from husley himself, the track is timeless and positive. the rather huge, driving bass line perhaps shows what an effect his 8 years living in london has had on him and also maybe his not-so-secret past as a junglist? all-round danish house legend, mathias mesteno, has created a late night deep builder that drives and drives..the result is detailed and tough! keeping jacob s big bassline, he has created his own feeling around the groove with plenty of atmospheric percussion. barcelona man-of-the-moment garnica from galaktika recs, has created a fantastic peak time groovy dub edit that will have people losing themselves on the dancefloor. watch out for more releases from wys! coming soon, next up is cormac s cold remixed by miss kittin and chris liebing!

with support by john selway, stephan bodzin, perc, technasia, xhin, tony rohr, dean facer and many more. the catalogue number 013 on the berlin label phunkit records is at the same time the starting shot for the first vinyl release. and exactly this one shows down-to-earth techno from the capital, elaborated and cunning, by the artist duo takt tick. the actual overhead conveyors and host djs from the tresor club present trend-setting productions. the name >u1< is, brought to the point, a little journey through the time of berlins underground. the a1 side sends the listener on a trip which is coined by dynamical passages of highs and crispy bass parts. uncompromisingly does the rhythm chase around the focused, flogging consonance and the slowly modulated intervals with short breaks. on the b side: >whisper<, a subtle peak-time monster which does not know any kind of holdup, full of energy and only waiting for the chance to make the strobes lose their wind. >black worms is a b2-bomber for sure. with its dusky sounds, it is solidly rolling without downward movement. shady, resonant, consequent and remorseless.

warning! this is no retirement home techno, not for the faint at heart. pohjola - forwards to the past! already supported by: ben sims, jeff mills, dj pete, inigo kennedy, kr!z, luke slater, rob hall, dimi angelis, dustin zahn, makaton, paul mac, phase, the black dog, alex downey etc.

new york, chicago, detroit? nop, boring shizzle!! just try miami!! sun, butts, flamingos and music! only an idiot can think this way! the bar is for sure the answer to the question: what is the most important part of the house? so what is more obvious than crowning a house-track with a vocal by the person who enhances life to the bar and to the party as well as the dj? luna city express wants to build a monument for the ones bearing this responsible task and say thank you, together with enliven deep acoustics. they want to pay homage to the person every visitors welfare depends on! so just imagine the bartender not only leverages your drinkable luck but also sings for you! not only sing, just utterly make the party to an unforgettable experience which makes the dancefloor to a trivial idea. everybody who is pleasured by this record is forced by associations which will make her or him hugging the person behind the bar!!

monsieur guillaume berroyer — the infamous ark — recently underwent a sort of sea change in both his artistic and personal life. anyone following his career with even a passing interest knows of his long resume (collabs with pepe bradock and cabanne, dolibox, mika weill, releases on brif, karat, circus company, perlon…) and has heard tales of the studio fire and the creative energy shift and all of the stories associated with his frenzied live performances and dj gigs. great stories are fun and build mystique, but as most heads know the music more than measures up to the legend. his recent >arkpocalypse now< full-length showed a matured craftsman that is not so much waxing introspective as he is distilling his signature sound into something manageable enough to truly adapt to all of his musical tastes.

the devils hands have been busy! blackdisco presents an evil batch of house obscurities sliced, diced and dosed with a secret potion from the haunted house of justin vandervolgen (tbd, golf channel, dfa). this is an especially sinister release, just in time to work the hell out of your dancefloor at this years halloween party. but dont be frightened, the madness contained within will surely outlast any single night of terror. this is a definite must for those not faint of heart. no repress, my dear children, no repress

to protect your ortofon systems...(only for ortofon mk1 version up to 2018) not compatible with the new needles (mkii) from ortofon.

dixie yure is the incarnation of contemporary oldschool house music from seville. after some digital only releases it is about time for some haptic experience. with the 10“ record „show me satisfaction“ on berlin-based label fenou his sound is rotating on turntables for the first time. monotonous minimalism ain’t dixie yures world. the sound tends more towards 2step and builds a homogeneous and pleasant mixture with classical house elements and vocal parts. you just cant deny yourself dancing the >chicken dance< and stepping like hell! thanks to the funky improvisations extending over the whole track you wont get bored even after listening to >show me< for the hundredth time. the a-side is just fun - in the club as well as on your couch. you wont miss the low-pitched vocals on the b-side either as they are typical for the spanish producer. >satisfaction< is a little more reduced than >show me< but is enhanced with jazz elements such as pianos and saxophones. it shows that wind instruments in electronic music dont have to be annoying tribal elements. in this example acoustic instruments do not just get mixed up with house music but merge to one groove – absolutely rocking tune!

austere can mean >lacking trivial decoration< and >not extravagant< which is exactly what the ethos behind this esoteric new label is about - raw, real and underground. the first ep from laak (pronounced >lock<) is true to the roots of house music. warm pads, discreet analog melodies and vintage drum patterns. along the way giving a huge nod to chicago, detroit and the forefathers of the genre. already receiving support from jus ed on his underground quality radio show and quite a few other players, dont sleep!

after having released >salson< on our 10 years raum compilation already, damian schwartz returns with his first solo single on our label. >pedro< which is also the title of this record is a deep techno track that is based on a hypnotic piano sequence. >badabambu< is more house orientated and like for >salson< damian gets support from guti who has played the synths for this tune. last but not least this release also features a remix of >pedro< by none other than daniel stefanik which is adding some more peak time flavour while still staying close to the original. enjoy !

first on decks.de !!!a fancy franco-german remix session full of thriving techno pleasure. oui oui!
a1: rejdowak (from karaoke to stardom remix) well known french fellow from karaoke to stardom digs in the depth of electronic mystery by designing complex rhythmic sound patterns carried by, well… a pretty dominant bassline! what else do we need?
a2: rejdowak (freak de philipe vs parasit remix) light-hearted pounding techno attitude with a humorous slightly ironic touch, this implements a wise smile on the faces of true electronic music enthusiasts.
b: fm melodie in e-moll (kettenkarussell notbremsen remix) kettenkarussell from weimar manage the impossible: completely transforming >melodie in e-moll< by neal white while at the same time keeping much of its spirit. they create an elegant and gentle groove which smoothly seem to transform into a hip-hop beat. well, thats not the end of the story! experimental and extraordinary.

great new release from the kitsune stable. and this is a sure shot. simplicity and logic are logos ephemeral aesthetics mammals. the writing is not narrative, the speech does not have a say. logo does not tell stories. logo is kitsunes latest signing and they really strike a blow with their first ep >la vie moderne< which already features two hits: >junocide< and >la vie moderne<, both in their original and auto-remixed versions.

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud

short about the label: a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut, just the way we like it. fernando pulichino should be a familiar name to you, either as part of 2020 soundsystem or maybe his recent cover version of bauhaus >kick in the eye< on redux? anyway, we cherry picked 2 of his tracks, one for the peaktime and one for the good times.

the first and most important of the four food groups is flapjacks. a great example of this is in bryan jones flapjackin jam low flow. the beats are as thick with butter milk and the bass is fluffy and melts in your ears. the second food group and a perfect complement to the first is syrup. czech republics arco gives us a sugery delight entitled first time, which can be poured or spread over just about everything from toast and flapjacks to spaghetti noodles. this tune has a nice and deep brown maple sound that like syrupy goodness, sweetens up every mix. the third basic food group is eggs, everyones favorite baby animal embryo treat. melbourne, australias house mopper d-t3ch, plucked the perfect egg from his prized chicken with his spoken word groove give & take. in this smooth bumpin scenario, the chicken gives the egg, and d-t3ch takes it and whips it up into a wonder house omelet. the last but certainly not the least of the 4 basic food groups is the bacon. bacon just makes everything better. oregons forrest avery & derty d definitely take the bacon with their super fried, crispy, salty smash hit the perfect beat. this tune does to a club what bacon does to your heart…it clogs dance floors
