rockstrohs track licht in 2009 was certainly one of the most striking club tracks. the unusual combination of previously german vocal and smooth house beats made it at once, not in the top 5 of all dance charts but also brought every floor - the club until the metropolitan area - to the quake. the follow up single tanzen was there to seamlessly and made again for many happy faces in the club - not only for ladies. just in time for the new year rockstroh starts the next rocket. wolke 7 will again reach the peak position of the charts with remix support of finger and kadel remix and alex gap remix

aax donnell put up >tracks< in 1982, the band rearranged the classic >long train running< by the doobie brothers and brought it up the charts worldwide gathering gold records in france and in germany. in 1983 they released the album >tracks< and consolidated their hype selling more than 6 million records.produced and arranged by paul mazzolini better known for his worldwide hits with the stagename >gazebo<. purple music is proud to have signed this masterpiece of the 80s & to bring it back to the future after 29 years as first 2011 release. including superb reworked and remixed versions by misteralf who has already delivered club anthems with >around the world< >a love defined< & >im over it< and the story continues soon with a full >misteralf e.p< coming soon. and thats not all we decided to add the cherry on the top of the cream with an additional bonus mix deliverd from the purple man >jamie lewis< with his >psyco disco remix< he shows once more that house music is a spiritual thing for what purple music stands for. 100% quality

one year after his debut album on dial records cofounder pawel is back with a surprisingly fantastic remix package. patrice scott the shooting star of detroits house scene drops a version of crillon which represents the magic sound of his beloved sistrum label. osunlade the one and only yoruba soul priest into house music is one of the big influences of pawel and his label mates. and he is deeply in love with the dial sound himself! offering a remix which is already now a bright star supported by house masters like little louie vega is a miracle to be true! last but not least john roberts comes up with a version of kramnik to raise the origin to another level. this tune is so sweet and special as if we all were waiting for it. happy new year has just begun..

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. we are 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… im very glad to introduce yet another member to out internasjonal >family<. mathew senick aka mathew leutwyler. mathew got in touch through the web from mexico and it took us only a brief listen to this troika of wonderful sounds to convince us. now decide for yourself if theres something wrong with my ears….. ps: my computer tells me hes had releases out on perspectiv and traum, ill definitely investigate further, so should you

the power of lauer is indisputable. blessed with the uncanny ability to make hooks that would make bone thugs-n-harmony jealous in their heyday, phillip lauer is – pardon us – the melody man. his newest tour de force comes in two parts for our beloved live at robert johnson label. similar sounding to the legendary harmonizer (as if you would care), h.r. boss is new- romantic -italo -not -italowave that puts love on top of love (i.e. the aforementioned melodies). wouldnt sound out of place in sophie marceaus notorious la boum walkman. forbidden fruit is the sweetest. a little less full-bodied, yet as disarming, banned goes straight ahead with its ripply bass line, wheezing strings, a killer arrangement that completely deserves the tracks name plus a groove that wont stop. feels like delta nrgs filthy little brother. delectable! put on your red shoes

with his debut release on highgrade, >never end<, artist and producer andri has already proven his sense for captivating rhythms and driving beats. it is no accident that the swiss producer spent his childhood swinging the drumsticks and is now bringing his enthusiasm for those beats to the dancefloor. andri is known well beyond the borders of his native switzerland for his energetic and sweaty live performances, which always include new tracks for the floor. with his live sets he aims to encourage more than just wiggling movement – he tries to incite the party freak, to inspire a >technoid mind state< where people want to dance like crazy, all night long! as he says himself: >the people on the dancefloor should be able to experience the story of my sets and completely forget themselves.< but andri is not attempting to be a hyper intellectual sound director, and while his sets and tracks are carefully composed, they also retain a sense of humour. this is the case with his new highgrade release: >up lantis<. the three tracks - >up lantis<, >come to me< and >mr. groove< skillfully play with original samples, crackling beats and sexy basslines. they develop a very unique field of tension, punctuated with a lot of fun filled andri trademarks: this is the dictation of groove

the latest from thesongsays brings back one of our main players - bruno pronsato. whats he been up to you might ask? aside from completing his album lovers do, working on music with thomas melchior and daze maxim and putting out records as pubic lover with our leading lady ninca leece, not much… maybe hes been in the rafters sipping coffee or understudying for bigger roles. who knows. nonetheless he’s back. these two new tracks come from his upcoming lp, lovers do. its a single, sort of. but not really. because when has bruno ever done a single like we know a single? this 12-inch is about as far as you could get from club fodder. rather, its a pair of subtle grooves to soundtrack you cutting carrots, sipping whiskey, or dancing at some intimate afterhours spot

nice price deal !!! bad cop bad cop is the moniker of two of germanys most inventive and unique producers, lopazz (zz badcop) & alex cortex (xx badcop). the boys deliver two peak time dancefloor techno tracks – a pretaste for their upcoming album on pomelo (to be released in 2011).
side a - cherry tea : a broken beat monster which builds and builds and is set to cause serious damage on the more adventurous dancefloors.
side aa - life on stage : features the more conventional but not less stomping 4/4 jack track, another one for peak-time madness.

upfront final copies only at decks.de !!! friendship and the love of good music is what brought mike machine and sirion records together for this special ep. mike machine has quite a wide-ranging horizon of musical experience - from member of a band, student of music & media, video & audio artist, label member, promoter/organizer to dj in clubs. mike has the curiosity and the urge to create in any area of musical creativity and transfers this in exciting and thrilling ways each time anew in his productions. designed multi-variantly, based on an original rhythm and fashioned with individually created elements joker immerses the listener into a world full of energetic surprises. the repetitive, flowing foundation most definitely guarantees a gripping experience in mikes machine. david labeij chose not to play a joker when we met recently and luckily the remix resulted in a quite atypical style thanks to the quite euphoric surrounding. we most surely like it!

miss kittins brand new ep for mobilee, >all you need<, brings her sultry yet punchy vocals back to the floor with a classic electro bassline. with a remix from lee van dowski its not for the fainthearted. enjoy!

once again, berlin based resopal label head mri sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes. weakend-polka titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced house / funk music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you will ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. this is electric intergalactic soul/funk/house/techno. its noir, its dirty, its dangerous and risqu. on vinyl, as we like our little record-shop around the corner.

taken from the moodmusic new mix cd, retake one! three of the mixs exclusive tracks— axel bomans >cinquenta< , citycobras >fresh simple<, and dave dk s own >will be gone<— are now due for a 12inch release. dave starts with >will be gone< – a deep yet driving groover in finest dk style. taking a step forward from his latest work, he incorporates pick guitar and classy jazz samples into a uplifting and finely crafted come back. citycobra, one half of smash tv, debuts with >fresh simple< on moodmusic. a deep slice of pad infused house with a highly teasing arrangment building a modern take on burrell bros. last but not least, man of the moment, axel boman delivers some fine dub infused moments on >cinquenta<, a modulating roller, taking you on a trip from the first moment on and keeping you nailed

the eagerly anticipated lp from audio damage is finally here. this amazing 2x12 inch is packed full of incredible tracks. with such names as the dj producer, speed freak, duranduranduran,igneon system & homeboy, dolphin, alongside label owners tugie & autopsy this is an awesome 2x12 inch not to be missed. a 12x12 inch poster inside too makes this a real collectors item!

skreams label rounds of 2010 with a classic release. its not often a gem like this comes along and its no surprise that fellow production collaborator skream picked it up for his disfigured dubz imprint. having been a regular floor filler over the past year within the emerging techno x dubstep scene, >voyeur< has been in high demand and finally sees the light of day to many peoples delight. it was one of instra:mentals first dabbles with the 4/4 structure but has the maturity and qualities of a rediscovered 90s classic.

please welcome a new member to the mojuba label family, sirko müller. to some of you sirko might not be so unknown, because hes in the game since the mid 90s and is one of the founding members of the label tokomak records, which was also founded by mojuba head honcho don williams back in the days, and he recorded also tracks for pure plastic sublabel rewired, styrax and milnor modern. after a long hiatus sirko is now ready for some new action, so to reintroduce him to you we decided to put out some of his classic tracks as well as some unreleased bits! its quite hard to believe that these tracks are from about a decade ago, because they are still sounding fresh but also capture that little dirt and roughness which still remembers to the early years of clubbing!

hadrien - maria pamplona as it should be, ladys first: >mary pamplona<. once again the proof that it really is something good to women. even if a man, hadrien, responsible for the development of this woman . yapacc feat. big bully - face to the floor the night is over. the track was amazing. when you go you still can hear him. and who of us do not know. when the sun comes out, sometimes you better turn your face to the floor...

omar-s & kai alce collaborating? yes please.

stenchman continues to turn heads with the third release on his stinking label, bovinyl moosick.

special repress / backstock

lol is a bit of an unusual project, its just a thing in its own right, its not for anything or anyone in particular, its just an lp made by three bored people who like music that sounds like it did before the advent of the internet. the project was recorded in the bedroom of a warehouse conversion in hackney wick (bedrooms can be incredibly creative spaces, seeing as most of us were conceived in one). they wrote about self-obsession, social anxiety, drug abuse, and failed relationships using pre-21st century recording devices such as vhs tape, 70s valve microphones, analogue synths, cheap argos catalogue guitars, and 80s drum machines.

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

simoncino (aka nick anthony) from italian super edit label no more hits crosses the atlantic and finds a new home with on the prowls sub-label party breaks. what immediately stands out upon first listen is the production style, not being able to tell what is a sample and what has been replayed… much like tensnakes mega hit. the simoncino sound is firmly rooted in proto-house and 80s r&b. with ingredients like ancient drum machines, arpeggiated melodies, and cheap 80s pads, his concoction boils over with a certain cheekiness that makes listeners grin from ear to ear. all four tracks are subtle hits in their own right. excellent ep!

der druck kommt unzensiert, ihr wisst was jetzt passiert! es gibt nen bass auf die ohrn und der geht mächtig nach vorn! wir fackeln garnicht lange rum, nach diesem satz macht es bumm! hells bangers records meldet sich zurück mit einem feuerwerk an abwechslung! diese vinyl bietet von 150 - 195 bpm harten techno sowie hardcore und verzichtet dabei auf langeweile! this is not the standard, this is how we rock!

the groove packages downloaded from the internet, are currently killing the true underground music. for this reason steve doesnt use preset sounds in the tracks. the artist is creator, not a copier....

impressive uk indy / alternative longplayer.

massive prime time floor remixes from umek feat christian smith

one sided solid white vinyl masterpiece, limited to 500 copies not to be repressed, courtesy of genius dancebomb duo - 2000 and one & dj madskillz!

it is about time for a record from label founder dario zenker. dont ask why it took so long, but be sure it wasnt the last one. and what a record this is, after several great releases on labels like vakant, harry klein records or time to express, dario’s debut on his own imprint is another example for his unique and mature sound. his studio just as his music has grown over the years. 10 am sounds like an earthquake, raw and dirty, it builds up so much energy that even babensham starts to shake. farrel on the other side is best described as deep break beat techno. it shows the diversity of darios productions and diversity combined with a certain signature is a great mix in our opinion. so enjoy it or not, dance or put your hands in your pockets, share some love or be a hater, no matter what we like u.

deep in the night, 2000 and one and sandy huner met up in their amsterdam studio to record >baile bass groove<, reflecting their early hour mood, this tune is the perfect tool for the afterparty.
on the flipside we welcome robert babicz, a name which doesnt need introduction! the title >take it deep< says it all, deep chords and floating strings are the ingredients which penetrate and power this groove.
last but not least, diego moura & diogo accioly better know as talking props both resident at d-edge in sao paulo, bring you >walking on white sands<, funky stabs and catchy vocal snippets make this track rock the dancefloors.

it would be a complete mistake for any house imprint not to include a us talent in his catalog, this wont be the case for apersonal music. on its third effort the label takes his first journey to the grounds of american house. from arizona, michael j collins with remix rework from bostons house-sons soul clap, plus the first collaboration for apersonal from maurice aymard. a side single nothing wrong with holding on show us the most eclectic side of the label so far. looped vocals, broken house with a saxo on top. michaels talent goes beyond genres mixing elements from different styles to create this great piece of music. soul clap delivers, as usual, top stuff! in their remix they speed up the bpm and add a hip-breaker bassline taking the original track to the dancefloor war zone. second remix from maurice aymard, himself at the controls plus venezuelan producer garnica hitting the drums, they take the track to a trippy slowmo version, what maurices catalogs as his best remix so far.

the unsung has struck again. the mystery of that guy who hides himself under many sheets of pseudonyms like the zohar or ibrahim might be relevant or not, it is not the point. what is important is that his music is good as hell! exploring the inner workings of afro-americans dance music history, from sketchy blues and jazz to disco, hip hop and the toughest techno, his music is a proposition of what house music is or should be.

here it is, the third release on the snuff crew label snuff trax! on snuff trax 003 you find winter in june. you might already know this track from the snuff crew livesets. winter in june is maybe the most melodic snuff trax release so far. this floating music is not only for the body - it s also something for the heart. on the b-side, dance disorder, who release on labels like bpitch control, deliver a fantastic and very epic remix. this mix was also already played by snuff crew in their set for tim sweeneys beats in space show. stx 003 is limited to 250 hand-numbered vinyls.

holmby hills two smooth n ruff house tracks and two hip hop-jazz encores turn this record into a testimony for the state of mind of formresonance. when soul is melted together into an off the grid house track, it is not that far-fetched that both men have shared their music ever since tapes existed. engin oeztuerk, one half of here today, which came out on philpot and buzzin fly and block barley (who already has released two albums on hong kong records and we aint music) are both tinkering in search of music to dance to. they wickedly transform their musical masters ideas into something extraordinary sounding. an off-the-grid team

we again two flying something objects are located in the orbit, waiting for permission to land on your turntables and in the lay-by of your recordbag. this time with 13 pieces of stl deep shakin house madness, mindscratching lo-fi grooves, cranky energized synth activities, dope loops and sound effects. all pressed on a delicious double vinyl album with a limited printing of 500 covers! the music is all hardware based and sequenced. recorded in live sessions without any computer arrangements. surely the style is not for everyone and compared to others, probably seems a bit unconform, cat-headed or sometimes just different. but it s always true spiritual. an open minded artform with the sense for functionality. every track is talking to you in musical form without any barriers straight down to your feet and feeling. as in all something releases there is much sound personality and imagination inside, giving the listener a ticket to the fascinating world of beat orientated something music. get on board and enjoy the trip.

already supported by: richie hawtin, mauro picotto, laurent garnier, max cooper, paco osuna, dj misk, matthias springer and many more!! marc de bell delivers to us the suitable soundtrack with his fourth vinyl publication edelknarz on the berlin label keymono-music. marc is originally from germany and now lives in switzerland. particularly rough and technoide berlin is deeply in him. the sound of edelknarz is more fashionably of dark techno which on would not like to put really so surely in a drawer. one loses himself fast in the three-dimensional structures and the psychedelic sounds. the remix of the frankfurt lk-records of founder lars klein sounds extremely full and transports marcs psychodelic vein with a special push in grooving an energy

2000 watt take any number of watts, in our case 2000, add a few tasteful sounds, refines the whole with a driving bass, and at the end rounded with a grandiose arrangement. brian sanhaji realized it perfectly in his track >2000 watt< and asked to table. fucking shot the b-side, as is known, the quieter part. >fucking shot< is not. rather, we have another highlight of the techno genre. attemporal proves with his track, that a certain hardness in music, fullfil the feeling on the dancefloor.

with their first co-production, dj / producer paul woolford and the irish-born producer team paul hamill and dee lievense aka psycatron deliver the prove that uk techno has not lost any of its energy or visionary power in the year 2010. after releases for carl craigs planet e label and r & s (psycatron) resp. 2020 vision or renaissance (paul woolford), the two tracks on the >thunder ep< are consequently moving to the next level. >thunder< impresses with extremely dynamic drumming and always changing percussion patterns. a rhythm body that is constantly in motion and will be enlightening every single dance floor with its hypnotic power dub. >cloud 9<, however, is stepping back at first and stresses an explicit chord techno structure despite its solid pumping elements before integrating some noise rave signals following the epic break after some 5 minutes, as it was totally naturally and thus letting the whole floor blast off. with such joy of telling and the eagerness to experiment in a musical way, you are really looking forward to the winter club season 2010/2011!

prompt has been producing electronic music since the mid 90s and during this time has made a string of outstanding eps, some of which have even won awards. but who exactly is this man from madrid: prompt? to stand on a stage and party for hours in his own world is not prompts style. he would rather sit in the background of his studio and create unforgettable and ever more fascinating tunes. his debut ep on highgrade set the tone for his convincing mix of sound design and subtle hooks. these are also the most important elements for his new highgrade release. in >sharing sounds< its all about deepness. expressed through dense loopy forests and deep broken valleys. you have to engage in the sound experience and see the world prompt has built for you. few other techno producers have such a distinctive style or unique voice. with this ep you could be blindfolded on the dance floor and you would still recognize the music. the sound will convince you once again, both in the club and on the turntables at home.

soys debut release comes in the form of >red<, a no nonsense straight up house track with stabby chords and relentless groove evident on the s2k rendition. on remix duty cinematic pulls in the now berlin based parisian alexkid whos career spans over a decade in techno and electronics, originally cutting his teeth alongside laurent garnier at f-comm. alex pulls out all the stabs on his remix with a stomping kick that further extentuiates that groove and forms that hybrid of house and techno with soul. completing the ep >computer moods< already burning floors is the hidden gem on this package seeing some great reactions from watergate, berlin to secretsundaze, london. a dirty bass heavy drum track that tears through any funktion one sound system!! one not to sleep on!

christoph abele aka catekk is very young but an adept. for years not only resident-dj of the legendary club flex in vienna but also live-act, sound engineer and together with christopher groove a promising producer-duo. even though catekk and groove have only been working together since 2010, they already produced for scene-headliners such as felix da housecat or marco bailey. however, catekk not only produces thrilling pieces for the just named heroes - his own releases can be found in countless vinyl bags and dj-charts. now the label houztekk records is releasing a long hidden jewel from catekks live-repertoire.

>tried for your love< is the eagerly awaited debut solo ep from contemporary boogie producer krystal klear. this release gives light to the largest body of work to date from the hotly tipped artist, and does not disappoint! sample free, the ep is composed of completely original material, and is a modern take on the new jack swing / boogie.

the number 13 my be considered unlucky by some, but not so far italians. fittingly, for uzuri 013 we welcome back leopoldo rosa aka lerosa for his third release on the label - his first being back in 2007 on uzuri 001. this new 12 inch precedes his forthcoming full length release for the label.

the dj-duo-team johnas belardinelli & vincenzo busceti are known for their fantastic soulful house partys in switzerland & they always have the right choice of the musically selection during their dj sets. but this is not their only talent as you can hear in this production. «my way» is featured by the fantastic voice of carlos santanas singer tony lindsey, who brings the track to the right level for a purple release

originally released on chain reaction in 1996, pelons >no stunts< harks back to a time when the nowadays so gladly used and over-used term >dub techno< was still waiting to be found. but thats secondary. the main thing is: >no stunts< is here again. with addictive, heavily-transformed and echoed synth sounds connected to a strong and pulsating bass line, it is exactly that type of no-frills techno you just cannot stop listening to. now restored and remastered, the a-side contains an edit taken from the 1998 chain reaction cd >various: compiled…< - previously unavailable on vinyl. as if this wouldnt be enough advocacy for vinyl as the agent of choice, the flipside holds 30 locked grooves extracted from the original recording session of no stunts that you wont necessarily find in the track itself and most definitely not as downloads. especially enjoyable with two copies. the effects can last forever

jan driver “gain reaction : you might know jan driver from his famous techno life in the 90ies or maybe for his label grandpetrol, his extraordinary skills in german folk music, high quality mixing for siriusmo, jesse rose and modeselektor or last but not least also from his wmc 2010 #1 hit “tellyfoam” which was featured on the bnr miami noize sampler. here is the first maxi of berlin multi-action-talent and friend jan driver, presenting a selection of 4 tracks including “gain reaction , a good fun heavy bass bleep champ, “cs40m , a slower powerful jam that creates an energetic build up of pink noise and 303 sounds for the very special atmosphere, >hornetbeef<, a tech-house at its best and >mecafunk<, darker techno, big sounds, the right track to close this magnificient production of these 4 tracks. what more do you need

2010 repress ! paul ritch and his quartz music label return with a very special treat! the first release on quartz was pauls own >split ep<. the response to the music on this ep was incredible. not only from specialists, but also from the public. how do you improve on the package? well, draft in one of the biggest names in world of techno to not only provide a remix, but take the two biggest tracks from the release, combine them, and remix the mutant off-spring. indeed! this is just what dubfire has done. taking >walk the line< and >split<, melting them together, and then reworking them to provide what will, from now, and forever more, be known as.... the >split the line - dubfire mega remix.< 2008 proved to be a wonderful year for dubfire. his releases and remixes filled the top spots in many end of year charts. no more than they deserved. his >dios< & >diablo< tracks alongside oiiver huntemann were instant smashes, and his remixes took him to a whole new level. radio slaves >grindhouse<, minologues >jamaica<, gregor treshers >a thousand nights< & booka shades >charlotte< all received the dubfire treatment, and all, went on to be smash hits. 2009 is set to be even bigger and better for everyone involved in this e.p.. is that possible? just watch this space!
