in the last 12 months thomas golds profile has soared skywards, his remix credits reads like a who is who of the global dance scene, erick morillo, robbie rivera, paul van dyk, roger sanchez, alex gaudino have all had a bit of gold sprinkled on them. not forgetting his award nomination for his mix of delirium >silence< and his recent mixes of pete

hit the streets slams in from the start with a confident kick drum, using a collection of layered percussive elements and drums (check that cowbell) to create a solid groove. seductive vocal snippets give the track a focus throughout, whilst fritter artfully introduces fresh elements until its resolution. building chords, open hi-hats and a ripping old-school melody reminiscent of warehouse 303s keep boredom at bay. bonza. ridgee didgee steadily courses through deeper realms, again with that killer percussion. here not one but a variety of freaky vocals and playful samples co-habit a densely layered habitat of groove. feral elements are backed up by a driving aboriginal bassline, relentless til a brief half-time reprise. a limited 200 white vinyls are available.

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard … and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling.

150 copies for the world only - ltd repress, maximal, not minimal!

this is the 11th release from sui generiz (division of absolut freak records), a special one marking a new phase of the portuguese label. andy book comes with a very deep track with beautiful chords, vocal works and melodic sounds, which give a nice and smooth trip called >if you tried<. the outstanding and famous french producer alexkid - already signed on the best labels such as f communications, rekids or cadenza - offers a super interesting and cleverly made remix. brilliant minimalist work pushing the limits of the original mix even further. then, the finnish producer zentex, well-known for his works on traum, kickboxer or resopal, is back on sui generiz (after having signed the first reference called >blue<) with a stunning version. deep, solid and driving remix. just listen! last but not least, johnwaynes - the exciting duo coming from the same land as the label - brings some organic beats and a bright piano for a beautiful remix, not less sui generis work than they use to do. their very unique sound, already heard on compost, brique rouge or bloop, will make you dance all long.

decks tip : >500 shapes< best moodymann stylee !!!!! two years ago murmur set out with a mission to make their mark on the underground house and techno landscape. along the way they guided the journeys of a bright array of artists, heralding early releases from nick curly, mic newman, nima gorji, bearweasel, tom demac, craig torrance and labelhead geddes, and have forged their own unique musical stamp. happy with that achievement they are now expanding and launching a new arm - murmur-? – creating a concept not to direct from but to compliment its forebearer, murmur-? is a chance to encounter a new shade of music, not just about floorfillers, but exploring music with soul, music with a different tempo and style, often still material you could play in a club but that can also be played and enjoyed anywhere.

the voyage continues. with this out takes release tom trago delivers two new dance floor tracks that were created during his voyage direct project.
not sure if they would have grooved to 200 b.c. two hundred years before the holy mans birth, but some two thousand years later its a sure shot peak-time disco-tech banger. lots of suspense and drive to keep to rock the party.
dekmantel anthem is created late night after a legendary night at one of the dekmantel parties in amsterdam. as a homage to deep late night sets its called dekmantel anthem… easy does it. a deep late night groove, but with enough swing to last until way after the party is over...

bristol-based kss black records are proud to present their second vinyl release:
a: holdtight ? blackstone ? holdtight make a welcome return with a rollicking slab of lo-fidelity sci-fi drum & bass. a steely backbone of percussion provides the skeleton to which a gut wrenching sub line and precision cyber-bleeps are built. full of atmospherics and stabs blackstone offers up a master class in layering grooves to capture the crowd. this one wont stop until it gets you!
aa: mute ? suspense ? the flip for this fine 12inch features the brothers mute, with a massive debut vinyl release! >suspense< has got skanker written all over it, reminiscent of the days grooverider was dropping adam fs seminal track >metropolis< on dub. modern production values are infused with the sweaty funk of 90?s dancefloor tech. heavily influenced by the sounds of photek and, more recently, break with technical drum programming and a bassline to trouble any bass bin as they looking backwards to move forward. you wont miss it when this tune drops.. bassface time! featuring on baileys 1xtra show several times last year this is not a tune to miss out on. both tracks have been receiving heavy support from bailey, lomax, survival & break.

mbali remixes: jerome sydenham starts off the year with a fabulous remix of the underground classic >mbali< by motorcitysoul. sydenham makes an ambitious attempt to redefine the phrase >happy and uplifting house<. this, however, is not a gospel track. but instead is filled with lush cords and steady grooves. this is the kind of tune that really gets the party started. jero extended versions: the monster duo of dennis ferrer and jerome sydenham strike again at the core of house music. in this adrenaline fuel house epic you have sydenham on the beats and ferrer on the vocal chants. this one will be hard to resist even for techno heads.

the united kingdom and new zealand unite on the latest get digital release, as tim green and emerson todd team up for two tracks of trendy tech-house. both of these guys had a splendid 2009. tim with his releases on dirtybird and emerson providing a contribution to get digital, at the end of last summer. their initial collaboration came in the form of exercise, which popped up on a compilation from sven väths admired cocoon label. make meis driven by crisp and tight beats that one would expect from these two producers, before tumbling into a 1920s speakeasy jazz drum solo. a flurry of vocals shoo off the drummers as the beats takeover again with an intensified energy. after all that dancing, you will surely need some foot treatment. that is where nail clippertakes over. a sonic pedicure, to easy your tired toes? not quite

two forward groovin floor tools from lars wickinger, not only for djs, but a perfect weapon for their sets

after a bit of a quiet period, moods & grooves returns with a heavy hitter – gu (aka glenn underground). an icon from the 2nd generation of chicago house music producers, gu by far is the most prolific. back to the basic is a concept through which he returns to the roots of chicago house when producers made the music, not a computer or program.

we welcome this fantastic producer on trapez with this piece of music which is quite different from most of what we get today. the title track >ghosts< feels like as if klaus nomi and kraftwerk were performing together... something we would have loved to have seen but which never happened. this track is not for the people who love it safe but for the adventurous and the wicked. voices like sirens striking with high pitched tongues being counteracted by basslines with a surface that can only be described as rough as chunks of splintered steel. a brilliant stop and go feeling shows that christian martin is the master on the steering wheel when it comes to controlling the movement.

the spaniard manuel fernandez llorente had a classical musical upbringing, studying at the music conservatorium in madrid. he has been composing and producing electronic music since 1996, not only releasing on his own label >7noise< but more importantly also being licensed for various major compilations. now he is releasing his first tracks on highgrade records. at first, >addiction< unspectacularly plods on towards house heaven, but then the sparse vocals and timeless organ sounds give you a warm and soft electro shock. the first track on the b side >the gull< shows off prompts talents as a composer. a very discreet melody blankets the straight beat, taking away the coldness of the bass. a beautiful dream track that should never really end. >mechanic< brings it home and is right in your face, a journey into minimal techno country, where you meet the sound ghosts that prompt has summoned. a single drum beat here, a voice there and a now and again a sound shred that are all meticulously arranged to make the perfect atmosphere.

the answer is the freaksound...!!! superlovers is spoken by one of the freaksound labelheads, mr. junior freak himself. this track should reflect the spirit of the dj & label community www.freaksound.at this massive electro house tune has a monster break for raising hands on the dancefloor and an unmistakeable message for every party freak around our planet. new way shows the deeper, but not too minimal side of junior freak. very warm and atmospheric sounds with a drastic melody break that should never ends providing a special pleasure for fine selected electronic ears.

nice price deal !!! under secret construction in the on u workshop for the last few months, lee perrys interpretation of the black sabbath classic iron man is finally ready, complete with heavy boots of lead. with adrian sherwood at the controls, and additional input from renowned reggae producer dennis bovell, this full on thumping dub stepper finds scratch positioning himself as the iron man - lion man - lightning man - super man who dont drink no booze while sub basses throb and wobble the bolts from his joints and the beats hit harder than a rivet gun... surely not what ted hughes had in mind. the flipside dub mix arrives courtesy of pempi, who recently broke out with a track on studio rockers? at the controls compilation. pempi ups the full of dread quota with a heavy barrage of drums, stuttering synths and swelling bass, to create a version that has the potential to consume every motor vehicle in the southern hemisphere. iron man lives again!

and thats not strange if you here this fine techno ep by spains most popular techno artists. fer br, toni alvarez, rantan, dj cristiao & pratap are regulars in the techno roster these days!

side a: features “depth of my soul” soulful and deep house blend in this down tempo jam. but slower bpms only add style and atmosphere to the track. side b: where is the compassion - the soulful component is still pretty strong yet. it designs a journey through feelings, typical of a warehouse rave. again echoes of a recent past, still very poignant. vibes reveals a more jazzy/boogie ambient. to many ears those vibes shared are not mysterious at all in the origin. still this is a very cool, current adaptation to the dancefloor. massive release!!

jori hulkkonens superb 2009 album >man from earth< offered nothing if not a glimpse of pure inspiration, like having a candid dinner conversation with the inventor of the cloth napkin. now, turbo is proud to present this stellar remix pack, which offers amazing new perspectives on tracks from the lp, revisiting the music with an athletes eye and ears bursting with heart.

after releasing the excellent >wormhole< on japan excursion joint 3, the most talented stefny gives us her debut solo archipel 12 inch, >echinodon<, featuring remixes from bruno pronsato and isomer transition.
this package, by all means, is set to infinitely clutch and grab ahold of many a mind. >echninodon< is wonderfully fanged, each maxilla locked and loaded, ready to capture the entirety of the minds resources and set it into intricate motion. it possesses a hypnotic prowess of such a level which makes it difficult if not impossible to shift ones attention away from it. if lucid dreaming is possible while one is awake, waking dreams within wakefulness, this is sure to cause just such a condition to arise, leading to deliciously formed headscapes where every scene is endlessly novel and created out of the finest of mental interior brushstrokes and every individual shade and colour is endless in its depth.

lurking in the back of every transportation vehicle there allways is someone who is up to no good... someone who vandalizes other peoples property & wrecks havoc everywhere he goes. their called lowlifes... bullies of the city... scum of the earth! they dont give a shit about anybody else. just thinking where they re at now and how they can raise hell in any possible way. matt-u has stood up and offered his dope ep as a meaning of destruction upon the non believers. the a side deliveres chaos unlike we ever seen before. people pulling and hitting each other, turning themselves into scum of the night... not giving a shit about the rest. flip it over to b1 for heads up - it ll be the last time anything happens unnoticed. keeping the scum people focused and ready for action. take cover keeps everything in check, the announcer warns people of this terrible threat thats gripping itself among the crowds. so run like crazy if you want to be safe. this is not a drill!!

this new ep retraces ceephaxs history and its very own personal and genious way to appropriate a musical style with always such generosity. from the dubstep of souley man, the sunset dancefloor hit bacardi breezer, the drum n bass track dona hue, the break bit track turrican 2 to ticker train, an acid bomb that defies anybody to not let themselves get carried away by these wild bpm.

dub police comes with the goods again. this time its the turn of one of dubsteps founding fathers d1, here to show them what its all about. jus business has been finding its way into the sets of all the big hitters lately. with its dark rave stabs, tripping jungle beats and pounding sub bass its not hard to see why ? serious business from d1. things couldnt be more contrasting on the flip with the energetic party roller pitcher. skipping beats and a quirky lead line, with funky esq. melodies and soulful grooves ? a really bouncing track. all in all another top draw release from dub police and a quality slab of vinyl from d1 showing us just how diverse this artist really is.

this 3rd vinyl release of deep data contains exclusive tracks only which are not available digital. label owner rene breitbarth contributes with >wiggle trans< and >yaz< two groovers which continue the concept of the digital pendant drive e.p. further its main track >carrie< is remixed by well known producer jeff samuel (poker flat, trapez, spectral sound) who provides his definition of cool. another remix comes from deep datas toby deschamps who transfers carrie into his jackbox style. fresh!

the berlin-based dj and producer eva be is no newcomer to the international dance-music scene. 2 years ago she released her long-player >moving without travelling< on bestseven / sonar kollektiv records creating her very own trademark dub-influenced electronic sound. this ep is the logical continuation of her musical output as she has been djing quite a heavy 4/4 sound in the last years playing alongside best works records djs andre lodemann, roland appel and alex barck of jazzanova in places such as goa/madrid, cookies/berlin, dampfzentrale/bern, etc.
>new crack< combines an electronic dub driven bass sound with classic old-school house influences - dancefloor business. darko essers mix is more intrecate giving the orginal a more dramatic crystalline twist. last but not least andre lodemanns previously unreleased remix of eva bes tune >she walks alone< sees the light.

huge 10 track ep! please note this is a vinyl release, not a cd release! perfect for all moodymann lovers! the 2nd of 2 eps from detroit house veteran. another dope kdj-related release which is supplied amidst mystery & controversy. a selection of house & mid-tempo jazzy & deep productions. as good as the 1st disc. as usual we will be oversold ...

after their great debut >motzbaz / indeed< on afao recordings and the following 12inches >hello kool nice< and <langenthal ep< on quintessentials recordings, which found its way into the bags and charts of djs like quarion, laurent garnier, jimpster and many more, jagged strikes back with a 12 on bonzzaj recordings. this single also contains a hot remix by the dutch multi-talented man aardvarck, one half of the rednose district. jaggeds productions are restrained and minimal in the right way - they doesnt let things get overloaded. they focuses mainly on straight beats and functional house music but always with the right ingredient of soul and rawness. the title track ten to twelve is a heavy cut with a lot of disco influences, funky basslines, cool house-grooves and surprising changes all over the track. the remix of ten to twelve comes from aardvarck, who releases on rushhour, kindred spirits and delsin. he transformed the original in an broken beat stomper, which sounds like it emerged straight out of londons co-op. the b-side contains chicago, a deep house number with forward going percussions, warm strings, oldscool-house-vocals and a slight acid flavour and last but not least the track an orange drippin, which takes you with its deep synth, percussions, basslines, bells and things in the deeper shades of…jagged nation. hot shit gesundheit

in mos ferrys eyes mikael stavostrands no turning back(mfp024) release at the end of 2006 still marks a highlight of his minimal techno period - and this is not only because of big bullys unmistakable vocals. now, none other than daniel sanchez (mumbling yeah) takes up the subject once again and with his no turning back remix he picks up where the krause duo started tastefully back then. daniels 12 minutes remix relies totally on an energetic rolling groove and puts the vocals always precisely when others would think it cant get more driving. the second remix was made by mikael stavostrand himself and is a straight and spatial welldesigned dj tool. for his own re-interpretation big bully got reinforcement through the argentinean odnu and heads more towards dub techno. these are three very succeeded remixes, which awake the desire to listen one more time to the original (despite the title)
