ander-traxx is a fresh label operating out of glasgow with the intent of releasing righteous underground house, and although mainly a platform for the labels founder alex-ander to showcase his own productions, ander-traxxs remit also includes the presentation of unknown talent for future releases. for this first release, alex steps up to the plate to deliver because of me, followed by 3 remixes from artists born and raised in glasgow. the original kicks things off with its intro of glacial pads and jittery hats, before quickly delving into a seriousely deep groove brimming with melodic layers. although because of me gives a strong nod to the recent developements of producers like omar s and kyle hall, it undoubtedly has the hallmarks of an alex-ander production, his unique arrangements coming to the forefront while still complimenting the crisp percussion that drives the track forward. carlos nilmmns (co founder of the formidable solab production unit) mix is a much more off-kilter and submerged affair. nilmmns plays down the epic quality of the original and adds chugging rhythmics and sweetcured piano work for a lesson in divine repetition. mesumas feedback mix goes in for the dancefloor attack, not surprising for a gentleman whos previous work has seen releases on hardgroove and seventh sign. rolling toms and a booming kick meet aquatic vocal samples and spectral harmonicas, and will still please those partial to deeper sounds. last up to give because of me the rework treatment is meschi (lunar disko, lux, snuff traxx), who mixes his chicago influenced analogue stylings perfectly with the source material. stripped down crescendos build up to a euphoric drop, and meschis elated melodies bring another twist to this excercise in deep funk. because of me is one of those rare e.ps that works just as well in a non-club enviroment as it does on the dancefloor. with this warning shot, alex-ander will surely be capturing the ears of many in 2012 and beyond.

premiesku, a project from romanian duo livio & roby in collaboration with their pal george g, pays tribute to analogue sources and vintage devices - for them its all about touching knobs and faders, modulating oscillators, building their own consoles, interacting with their gear and taking time to experiment. not for nostalgia, but for the love of organic grooves, spiritedness of sounds and a serious portion of soul in their music.

a crossover between pop, house/techno and new wave is the dress of the fourth wwr 004 chapter. we think is useless to say anything about the new release of the duo altarboy. fortunatelly in music matters what do you feel, not what we say. listen is the best way to tell if you like it. we like it very much!

after their first hello on the 6 years hive compilation adriatique is back on hive audio with a full ep. the swiss- based duo recently released some remarkable pieces of music in the last months with amzing feedbacks and chart-postitions. the aint nobody ep shows a few typical adriatique sounds but has a darker touch. the original a-side is filled with some old school housebeats paired with heavy synth work, deep vocals & a rolling bassline which makes this track work for every time of the night or morning. atapys remix of aint nobody goes into the same direction but delivers his very own interpretation. he put on the atapy stamp through his characteristic synthmelodies. then we have another original track from adriatique. mind games is a heavy dance floor track with lots of content. pretty much electronic with melodies and spoken vocals which really put mind games on the map. overall all tracks are made for the club and will achieve their goal. dancing not only with the body but also with the soul.

short stories is the fruition of musical ideas brought forth by label owner / chief producer gabriel ananda and multitalented instrumentalist and vocalist alice rose. the two of them have come together to resurrect a project from 2001 and have put together a colorful mix of strings, vocals, and melodies. there is something familiar and comforting in the sound of this ep. it could be roses strings, which were introduced with her debut for basmati food for dreams (basmati 06), or elements of anandas live series, there is an aspect to the sound that just fits. ananda and rose have delivered the complete package. the a-side opens with the not-so-short short stories, a fourteen minute evolving trip covering the scope of both producers’ talents. the b-side contains two versions of “struck by light. the techno version comes with power and emotion, crafted for the dance floor, which is followed by the deeper, original version recorded for the first time in 2001.

ilario alicante might well be best known for his previous releases on big room labels cocoon and cecille but preconceptions can be misleading. here on sudden drop we plough a deeper furrow, not ones for hands up in the air shenanigans we prefer to get our heads down on the dancefloor for some serious introspection, which is why this 3 tracker from the italian born ilario finds its way onto our label. echotechno is indeed a main room slice of stomping techno but with that oh so important moody vibe that we crave here at sd,rouge dub on the flip delves deeper with an exceedingly trippy soundscape whilst untitled drop rounds things off with a spritely techno groove.

terra incognita (noun/lat.ter-rah in-kawg-ni-tah) : 1. discovering and exploring new – aquatic – territories (terra incognita), 2. watching a super hero surf inside a big blue tube (dave kalama), 3. experiencing a fascinating meeting with a giant manta ray (ray manta) 4. feeling of in- tense and pure sensation by closely observing a ballet of sharks, whether its an illusion created by the rapture of the deep or not (dance with the sharks). ray manta couldnt have emerged to feel the light of the positive sun without the transatlantic collaboration with chahe demian, aka blufarm. mastered by lupo at dubplates & mastering

very 80s inspired nyc disco not disco styled 10 inch release

bukaddor & fishbeck return with a brand new vinyl 12 inch on mbf. this release manifests again a side of theirs one has not seen before. truthfully speaking this release has more understatement then you would expect from bukaddor & fishbeck. following their pearl >camino< their new a-side >zippy disco< is based on a deep house groove with chords that will never surface and through that work in the best fashion of detroit and chicago techno and house. we have had some deja-vus listening to this track, so see for yourself if you hear some johnny fiasco or daniel bell creating this coolness and sexiness. and let us tell you, this track is a smasher!

with >dazed<, senking continues his exploration of the abysses of sound to create dark and gloomy atmospheres. the slow beats of the two tracks are accompanied by tender, harmonic melodies, but broken by nervous, unsteady tones which seem to be a warning against hidden dangers. the first track >the dance hall walk< also features a vocal sample by micheal cramm - a text which reflects the nervousness and excitement in anticipation of some thrilling things to come. like >tweek<, senkings last ep, >dazed< is not only concerned with the depths of sound, but also with the depths of the human psyche, where there is no escape other than music itself.

when they are not remixing the likes of example, tinie tempah and avicii, or hosting bbc 1xtras d&b mix show dc breaks are busy making dance floors the world over quake in fear. their subwoofer-worrying, rib-rattling approach to writing drum & bass with a melodic spin has earned them a position as true leaders in the genre. all made the more potent as they unleash another immense release on the ram records imprint.

as is generally known, the night is not limited to the time dimension but has also a spatial dimension. the darker the night, the more artificial is the light and the more the even apparently well known places become unreal. patrick pulsinger resorts to such dusk-to-dawn places by using his three excellent tracks of his new release >nocturnalcat<. or to tell it better: he makes us streying.

thieveland jams … thug records next 12 inch presents a new 4 track e.p from one of the undergrounds commanding lieutenants, jeff samuel. named after his hometown of cleveland ohio, the thieveland jams e.p hits hard with 4 hammer minimal house jackers. punchy bass, looped up percussion and jazzy chords sit tightly against the back drop of jeffs signature soundscapes. a seminal house & techno artist, jeff samuel has a back catalog of street ready bombs on some of the most respected labels worldwide including spectral sound, logistics, trapez, poker flat and dan bells legendary 7th city. not much else needs to be said really … hope you dig the tunes as much as we do!

for some time now the bar25 label has wanted to put out a release with all of our swiss musician friends – the many folks who came to the swiss weekends at the bar and generally made a habit of visiting us in berlin. the bar always had a deep swiss connection, manifested not least in the legendary swiss cabin, home away from home to larger groups of visiting friends and monday evening after-hour hotspot. alpenglühen – feines aus der schweiz (alp glow – swiss bliss) is a swanky double vinyl of high-quality production art made in switzerland. on vinyl 1, animal trainer from hive audio share a side with andri, the zurich native. techno gladiator wandler and live artist canson play the other side, while vinyl 2 lets two matadors from the new zurich club friedas büxe – don ramon and san marco – steer for a while. and the two music geniuses from galoppierende zuversicht are also here, fittingly, using sounds recorded live at friedas büxe for their track. the sampler concludes with the exceptionally talented mastra, who contributed a special song to this swiss musical collage. the digital release also comes with a bonus live track by sublime stage band rizzoknor. even the cover was designed in switzerland, during a bar25 night at the legendary cabaret in zurich. were all excited about this release since its a special one for the 25 label. marked both by good old times and new horizons, this record is a musical compilation representing the very special kind of artist that will always be welcome in wild berlin!

if you like the sound of cheap analog synthesizers from the mid 80s, drum machines and strangely pitched human voices this might be the record for you. a small warning about the quite melodic and poppy arrangement, it is not minimal, nor pure drones. sorry. estelle ep has nothing to do with the car Škoda estelle, even though some instruments used on the songs were produced during the same years. estelle ep is more or less a result of the new kranglan broadcast hardware studio environment. the plan was simple: to get rid of the machines that were not being used and to make the rest communicate with each other. this resulted in some very fine jams where realtime feelings and spontaneous ideas were converted into music. each track is its own moment in time.

heres the final 2nd part of sascha dives restless nights album remixes. after frank roger and alix alvarez appeared with their own versions of sascha dives music on the first part of this remix series in 2011, the 2nd part will be acclaimed in equal measure. on side a1 chicago house legend halo feat. blakkat transform sascha dives original summer madness into a straight club track with a groove one just can not resist. on b1 willi graff and tuccilio deliver their interpretation of underground railroad - yet another dance floor bomb! a true shaker. were loving it!fred p. again keeps it dark with his interpretation of get out of the ghetto blues.deep,deeper,the deepest. check it out. hips dont lie!

mark and stefan have been making noises for a long, long time. born in an storm way, way back, they have forgotten more than most people know about the art of making people move their bodies in strange ways - graduating from the psychonautic academy of vibrational arts with 2 lfos, a couple of vcfs and 3 vcos… when theyre not working in the studio on their new psychedelic project pulp disco & the outcasts, theyre getting up to all sorts of bad behavior in ibiza, france and their home in london and manchester. warehouse parties, dirty dive bars and seedy strip joints have all been seduced by their magic over the years, and this is where the duo feel most at home. the wrong side of the horizon is where they were born…and dark dub-discos are now their only refuge. so when the moon is full, hitch a ride with them into deep space...

part 2/3! deep house – uh killer?! dear gorge just like we know him. hardly anyone puts so much energy into a yet so low key appearing track and this is what we love him for. gorge was a history witness for our biggest light installation and the most oppulent feast, as is his right. certified ass-shaking tune with a joyous organ going hand in hand with a female vocal. there is no more to say about this track as it speaks for itself. reminiscing igors 10 minute intro in combat gear at the treibgut deluxe. some push did jonas put into this few minute collaboration track with mz sunday luv. it has to be loud, it has to run – it has to take its place on this compilation. homebased in frankfurt jonas was so fond of hannover at a time that he almost moved north. but we could not afford the hotel room for such a long time. deep house making you get rid of your jacket and shake your hips together. get yourself a drink at the bar and head for the dancefloor. nicely smooth this track is driving you into the night. the only night we actually had champagne and still could all make it to the train to hamburg in the morning.

part 3/3! close your eyes and let go. born in hannover daso enchanted us with this track. it is constantly building up until sunrise. this is how we got to know daso when he was playing his first gig at a treibgut getting our guests up and going. in hannover this night is known as the topless-party-animals-night. not many are as familiar with the treibgut sound as mario aureo proving with this tune. a year ago it was all hands up at treibgut but know we set it free to be passionately celebrated at other parties. leave the orchestra in rehearsals – until they have finished we keep on celebrating to the deep bassline for the plane has just landed. moritz approached this tune verytooly. we just remember him setting up stage for the party, ordering pizza and watching football. frieder, our youngest member, never looses the concept of time and spaces but this track has so much atmosphere in it that you can imagine which cloud he is on. the track comes in easy-going leaving you floating to the end

finally the remixes of the celebrated jonsson/alter mod album is here – featuring no less than minilogue, donato dozzy and dorisburg (half of swedish duo genius of time). my god, that took some time. but no harm is done. all remixes has some kind uplifting and sunny trance mode to them, so as it turns out, this is actually the prefect spring release.minilogue starts out with the track kyrka 2.0 and ads both speed and length. donato takes on the track acapellan and does everything right. keeping the beautiful vocals of the original, donato adds bass line and new drums. the ep closes with another swedish contribution. alexander berg aka dorisburg from duo genius of time reworks djup house, and does it well. a solid bass line keeps us grounded to the dance floor while dreamy melodies and harmonies gently lift our serotonin levels. enjoy! before leaving you to the music we would like to thank minilogue, donato dozzy, dorisburg and last but not least, henrik jonsson and joel alter

the sccucci manucci label has done a fine job of handpicking artists on the rise for their releases to date, collaring the likes of casino times, francis inferno orchestra and toomydisco as well as the odd established name like jacques renault. the labels fourth release forza quattro is still grounded in the disco/house sensibility that has served them so well, though the presence of waze & oddysey demonstrates the sccucci a & r team are willing to deviate. the elusive us pair are in the midst of a hot patch right now with releases already burning on body work and southern fried and plenty more due over the coming months, so their presence here is a real coup. i cant hear you sounds vaguely like a extra bouncy cover of the classic rip groove and definitely ranks alongside their output to date. alongside this the white vinyl ep has tempo traversing contributions from fil lavin, sellouts and deadly sins, with the latters slow and chuggy -dont you know- a particular highlight

heralding from a rock n roll and jazz background vaal is not aware of the strict rules that define & guard electronic music. therefore vaal is not afraid to break them. sourcing tracks and samples became an obsession: from this was born a compulsion to write, experiment & develop original music that could be equally human, equally electronic. vaal exists in the dark of the city: the secretive curtained room that you can never quite peer into, the dark pulsating dancefloors of the underground. vaal has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears & sweat. vaal is electronic, & vaal is a baastard.

part 3 of the drawbar organ ep series

the fact that they are the hottest band in the buzzing spanish independent music scene in itself may not be enough to stop the presses, nor are all the comparisions to the black keys or the band citing motorhead as their main influence. its hard to break into the crowded new band scene, but let us give you a piece of advice before deciding who should stop the presses - just sit and listen to the album first.
a text like this usually tries to say how great the group is and how new and fresh their songs are. in this case, we are going to try to save time and space, and just talk about the right ons.

the time has come that berlin based techno producer and dj frank muller launch his new label mad musician. these days it requires some kind of madness to devote your live to music. but we are not mad entirely, we are the geeks, the gear nerds, the outcasted studio freaks who just heard about daylight. following a string of eps and remixes as his alter ego beroshima, the launch of his new label as frank muller was long overdue to focus on the new platform. it continues to break the stylistic frame defined by the market and yet manages to surpass the expectations set by these skilfully crafted productions. mad musician defy genre boundaries and incorporate a wide range of sonic colours. merging detroit influenced berlin techno with any kind of genre. exploring the electronic galaxy to invite other true musicians to join the mission and to cooperate, remix and to release the stuff we like. the first invited mad musician is none less than lord kirk degiorgio who recently released some awesome stuff on rush hour and planet e.are u mad enough?

the ganas ep is dedicated to professor jaime escalante who passed away on march 30, 2010. the movie >stand and deliver< was based on his life. as a math teacher, he worked hard to inspire latino students in east l.a. to work hard at their math skills and at life with desire or in spanish ganas. when everyone else expected latinos not to do well at advanced math and calculus, he reminded students that the aztecs and mayans were masters of numbers. the tracks on the >ganas ep< are designed to inspire listeners to overcome expectations and remember that todays so-called minorities are the descendents of some of the worlds greatest civilizations.

in no other year was the end of the world as fashionable as it is in 2012. but while roland emmerich has to dig knee-deep in trash and throw millions out the window for special effects gimmickry in order to bring drama to the screen, it only takes sierra sam a freshly made studio in our comforting berlin-based upon you refuge. a newcomer to our crew, this belgian producer and label owner of toys for boys has already established his own decade-plus career, and his experience shines through clearly on uy059. the title track welcome to the blackout holds up not just on great production, but also from the mystical vocals that paris the black fu offered for this release. thats why weve included the a cappella as a digital bonus, for the more adventurous djs out there. for the flip side, sierra sam picked his english cohort inxec - already known for his numerous releases on labels such as cocoon, cityfox, contexterrior and currently crosstown rebels - for a fresh remix. closing track chambers seals the deal on this singing, ringing hit plastic disc that no survival kit should be without.

following up on his 2010 madhouse pop gem >someone out there<, aka jk (a.k.a. jonathan kreinik, new york producer extraordinaire and long-time live sound engineer for the rapture) returns to throne of blood with >2600 2600<, the title of which may or may not reference a famous analog synthesizer. an appropriate title, as synthesizers indeed abound from the start, flooding the low-end with disorienting deep analog washes before the utterly-infectious vocal enters and the party kicks off in earnest.

record store day is synonymous with exclusive and limited releases and this year is no different. featuring a collaboration ep with adrianyounge from venice dawn and black dynamite fame and adrian quesada from the echocentrics, ocote soul sounds, brownout and grammy-winning grupo fantasma. a first name is not all adrian younge and adrian quesada share, they also both have an equal love of the psychedelic, the cinematic and at the root of it all, soul music. so it was inevitable that a collaboration would eventually come to fruition. mutual admirers of each others work, they first met at the sxsw music festival while on the same bill. both began their production careers on mpc and taught themselves various instruments to further capture the symphonies heard in their heads. fresh off his current solo project something about april under the moniker venice dawn, adrian younge found time to create all new tracks with adrian quesada who just released his echoland tribute to timbaland with the echocentrics. although both are distinct artists in their own right, they are cut from the same cloth with a signature sound thats equal parts morricone, early portishead, wu-tang and 60s psychedelic cinema soundtracks. their combined efforts on this ep guarantees a double dose of the sound we have come to expect from these talented individuals.

tabernacle is more than a release, we just feeling it as a religious idolatry, and religion is music or better club music. if the club we mind is belonging to past or future it doesn’t matter, what we know is that it seems not belonging to present cause present seems not to exist anymore: we are all enmeshed in an immediate availabilty of what has been, we are all trapped in a geography of eternal availabilty”.
well this compilation, built of three eps, will be just enough available: on vinyl. yes friends there will be some huge singles extacted from the whole work but the origin of the idea with different artists, friends, styles, attitudes, moods will be on vinyl only… so start to fill the cart of your fav portal, remove the dust from your turntable and enjoy this timeless clubby sound.

hello berlin is the second release of samuel fach on tonkind. with his first one he made already a successful debut start. and for sure hello berlin should not stay behind. like the titel tells us, it is a tribute to his new home town. since last summer he is now a child of this wonderful city and this release suppose to be his first musical reflection to what he experienced there, so far. like on the first release, samuel fach shows his talent for a multicolored and very origin sound. all emotions have been bunched here, esspecialy in firts of may we got an essence of his affinity for happy melancholy. on the top... with a very cool kotelett & zadak remix of hello berlin, he got the right support from berlins men on the spot.

vinyl only! milton jackson delivers three tracks of pure underground house heat for tsuba limited. these are expertly crafted house trax for more discerning dancefloors with emphasis on killer grooves and hooky vocals. there will be no repress and these tracks will not appear on any download stores.be quick!

fully koded chicagoians traxx and beau wanzer team up for another mutant beat dance release. together they have produced arguably the best 80s chicago house record not made in the 80s. the mutants call it jakbeat, inspired by the early days of house music. tip!!! let me go is as intense and rhythmically inclined as they come. naughty woods sparse vocals cry desperation, almost nearing insanity, which makes up for a pressure cooker like warehouse anthem. rottonfunk is another intense work out which has a killer groove and makes us wander off to the promised land (wherever that is). its delightful to hear that chicago house music this good still gets made. surely when it was released way back when, it would fetch top dollars on the interweb. authentic stuff!

with surprise cut on center ... after the success of the first release, tanstaafl returns for their second wax adventure, this time with the musical renegade dj october at the helm. october has entered a new phase of production for the tanstaafl series and has focused himself firmly on a reduced, stripped and effective formula for the floor. his productions are heavy, smoked out narcoleptic dub infused journeys, and his latest 12 offers more or less of the same opaque vibe but with his sights firmly set on the floor, with one foot in the past and the other in the future - drawing from his usual detroit, nyc and chicago influences. so we kick off 2012 with a future classic, singularity jump, which douses you in synthesized saxophone hooks, chopped vocal samples and a meaty juno hip-house inspired bass-line.planet of minds is more of a inner space affair very much inspired by acid and dub. successfully combining the two, october injects more of an airy feel into the mix and delivers a moody cosmic acid jam that will not fail your dancing feet or tripped-out mind. definitely one for the later hours.this is going to be an anthem, hands down, so get it before its gone for good.

ltd edition picture disc... 500 copies... the concept of climactic and chassis shaking is synonymous with rayko. and his vision does not disappoint. it draws you in and layer by layer, this structurally more simplified midnight burner slowly but surely intensifies - through its reliance on chunky bass, trademark mid-point vocal introduction and heavy use of synths. it is both playful and a little bit naughty. destination dance floor.

aura go rises, opens, rouses not unlike a soft light growing to illumination, a day slowly revealing itself. synths whisper and ring out – like bells marking an early hour – at the start, followed by a succession of other awakenings: a palpitating beat, vocalizations that repeat like undulations, percussive poundings and ringings. it all leads to full on, acid-infused, dance floor hypnosis, with producer dennis dj mcnany pushing polyrhythmic, almost tribal beats to the very front. with the addition of husky vocals from collaborator jee young sim – imagine siouxsie sioux crossed with planningtorock – the sound becomes something altogether, and altogether unexpectedly, gorgeous.

a - side: i love my lady (the black bahia version) ashley reworks an unreleased collaboration between chic and lounge legend johnny mathis. what ?!!!! this has summer anthem written all over it. beedle waves his magic wand over this future classic beach groove to create a joyful sing-a-long. b - side: addis ababa (afrikanz on marz kosmik rework ) ashley and his musical partner darren morris add their trippy aom vibes to this rare studio one classic to create an afro/reggae/drone/psychedelic monster. it pulls you in and does not let you out. this is an essential rework for all the true heads out there.

billyonair back on the main labels. after his melodic release on mainrecords in 2011 billy now delivered some dub-influenced technotracks. we start with flying north. cold and spheric sounds are combined in this song but with the right amount of melodies. on a2 martin woerner remixed where am i. a nice pumping track which will hit the dance floors. on b1 we have klain main - strange chord-sounds meets nice grooves is the best way to discribe it. and last but not least the original of where am i which goes in the same direction like flying north - deep melodic dub-techno. for the digital lovers we have another (stripped down) version of flying north and a supercool remix of “where am i” by our buddies pascal feos & frank leicher.release comes in green-coloured vinyl.

limited to 214 units!
after a very strange viral campaign, consisting of 4 videos - simply called <evidences< - and the emulation of mystery-demo-commissions the truth is revealed now: the new release of renommated daniel half is ready for sale. 3 tracks with witchhouse- and technodub-flavour and timeless spooky atmospheres tickle the listeners senses. his musical preferences are not from this world - always looking for perfect understatement. this is the time when all ghosts reveal their faces behind curtains of materialized maelstrom. dont forget to open the flask and drink the elixir.

dapayk solo knocks everybody out with his whole new style!
you think that sentence was a cheap shot? well, listen to those tracks, because they are not!

label like soma records, universal, get physical and also highgrade, all contribute to the impressive credentials of the spaniard, prompts breathtaking live sets and releases. but prompt, himself the founder of his own label 7noise, is never one to rest on his laurels: instead he continues to push boundaries with his new live project: the prompt live band, a fusion of electronic sound production and jazz. this is not the first such step for the clasically trained musician, with his onuba project he has already mixed the flamenco sound of home country with electronic music. the three tracks to be released on highgrade records, created in collaboration with the chop suey quartet, bring to life what would appear to be almost impossible: a real connection between the highly concentrated nature of electronic rhythms and the loose and improvised sounds of jazz instrumentation. the result is a very special kind of studio jam session: victor tarín on piano, david blanco on bass, daniel del val on the drums - and prompt on a computer! with so much pasion for musical innovation on show, its no wonder that highgrade co-boss todd bodine wanted to get his fingers into the pie and deliver his own remix for the ep

the debut release of berlins imprint kwattro kanali kicks off with two heavyweight disco-dynamite tracks. first up is a funky discofied groover based around an epic filtered bassline which will cause a floor-filling effect. on the flip side liebig & enviro deliver an 80s influenced groovetool with brilliant synth and a stunning vocal sample to fall in love with. this quality release is not to be missed, decks tip

>night and day< is the first single from hot chips forthcoming album, in our heads.
the single is a piece of classic hot chip weird-ass superfunk disco, driven by a menacing yet supremely danceable rubberized bassline. its the sound prince would be making had he grown up just south of the thames.
it is zapp not zappa.
