some would say the chicken lips label is long overdue, but lipservice is worth the wait as it promises the very best from augmented cl clan of dean meredith, andy meecham, stevie kotey and johnny spencer - a collective who have remixed just about everyone, spawned a thousand copycats and destroyed a few floors in the process. the inaugural lipservice release sees the chaps unleash zeefungk, one of their most popular and rare guises. the a-side is occupied by >robot eyes< - a splendid slice of electro-disco-funk which is vintage chicken lips. acid bass and loose drums combine with keys which progress wonderfully to create a really special piece of dancefloor tomfoolery. next up is >feast of freeks< (stevie koteys tape edit), a new edit of a track featured on the bands now-classic >extended play< album but never released as a 12inch. the bearfunk main man and all round gent delivers a tweaky, driving uptempo disco monster which climaxes in some trademark kotey madness. >robot lips< closes the packages and displays more of the guys unreal keyboard work as the groove stays steady but the hands go hyper. riddled with vintage synth work, >robot lips< is heads down business and no mistake.

this is the tune for getting spiced on the dancefloor! no more boring klicks and klacks, time for energy again, that s what alex must have felt when treating his gear in the studio while processing these two outstanding tracks. really remarkable techno again from alex bau, just as we are used to it and know from him for quite some time now. the tracks appear in a moderate design of sounds, avoiding to harsh and hard action, but the fierce leadsoud of wasabi tune vol 1 will surely make everybody moving, just as the usual suspects playing it already: stephan bodzin, liebing, technasia, perc, gary beck, florian meindl, mihalis safras, mr. beyer and many more. very very big tune! must have for this summer!

limited vinyl edition of the black dog s new album on soma quality recordings. each of the 500 copies is hand numbered and screen printed by the artists. 3 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. the black dog are without a doubt one of the hardest working acts in electronic music. no sooner have they released one of 2008s best albums in >radio scarecrow< and the massive 12 inch >detroit vs. sheffield< which featured two remixes from detroit minimal grandmaster robert hood, they now prepare for their next album release. >further vexations< is a real successor to >radio scarecrow<. the thinking behind the predecessor is still very evident with even more bite, but theres something about the new album that lends itself to the dark club atmosphere. perhaps the recent bout of constant gigging has had its effect on the act because this one is going to be tearing up floors around the world on its release. >further vexations< might have taken half the time to create but still manages to maintain the same degree of meticulous detail and attention as its predecessor, and is a complete package of tracks demanding to be listened to from start to finish. >further vexations< looks to rouse the sort of political attitudes that have been sorely missing from electronic music since raves backlash against the criminal justice act in the 90s.

shit hot release from the super consistent sex tags crew !! footnotes was the bergen, norway based label run by bjørn torske with only two releases, the late 1997 house classic and collectors item “haribo” by erot and the way too underrated dub-house 12” “farlig fiffus” by krisp. in 2002 the laqcuers for the third release were cut and all ready for the press, but for some obscure reason it never made it to the actual pressing. in the end lacquers were demolished and the mastertape got lost. several years later the mastertape showed up in a tower of old tapes and mastercuts. recovered by the sex tags mania crew, now seven years after it’s origibnal releasedate, doc l junior’s two classic and brilliant house and disco tracks are ready for a proper release. as a tribute, a longing for old days, sex tags mania will releases footnotes 3 in april 2009..

it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision

after a string of highly regarded releases on home label 20:20 vision, uk producer moodymanc aka danny wards strongly original sound and taste for the party has now brought his music to german shores…. his freakily percussive warehouse tool >preacher (bum bum drum dub)< recently featured on steve bugs bugnology 3 mix, and steve was so into moodymancs stylings he simply wanted more!! >snore (dubba dub)< is a finely crafted tribal edged beast, full with invigorating percussive elements, haunting vocal sustains and mancs now trademark dubba-dub stutters. its a roomfilling club tool, infused with the all buzz of a rio carnival, and indeed the warehouse jack of the uks rich northern club scene. switching musical zones slightly, but of course not compromising on quality, >next song< takes us into the darker, deeper and more playful of moodymancs acidic heritage. as a regular dj at the legendary back 2 basics club in leeds, this fellow certainly knows a thing or two about working the floor, and this cut will rock it with equal amounts of deepness and naughtiness! the original, more blissed-out version of ‚snore‘ is also included, which really shows off the musician skills behind wards productions. this real celebration of house is characterised by razor sharp percussion and tastefully soulful synth work, evolving and morphing into a dreamy yet energetic trip… quite a package!

after respectable releases in the digital realm and on the german labels hardshower, kaufe musik aso. (both played by the big players like dj hell, laurent garnier george morel oder someone else aso.) he has now moved further and adds three brilliant tracks to the afulab catalogue. the driving and tension loaded bango banger opens on the main side with it s shuffling bongos and hands-in-the-air-and-scream frequency shifting sounds. this will surely rock big time and will leave no one unmoved and bored.the second track and the opener of the flipside drug pipe is another thrilling and funnily weird rocker that might be inspired by too much input to the maker ,-) der nougat baer rounds it up and shows that felix bernhardt is a promising new producer who will leave his marks and we are looking forward to hear his new material already

dojo is about getting back to the roots of american techno and house, and getting away from the computer. we want to help bring back the spontaneity and freedom of live performance and recordings. we want to celebrate the raw physicality of the music, and the dj who still likes to mix. ross since, 1997, ross has been in the background of the westcoast canadian techno scene, particularly the victoria family that included mathew jonson, cobblestone jazz, the mole, and hrdvsion. in 1998, he released the now out-of-print compilation album ôgarden city dubs, that featured first material by mathew jonson, and cobblestone jazz. he left for california in æ98, but kept his finger on the pulse as the art director for itiswhatitis recordings. while in the bay area, he listened mostly to soul,rap and early american techno music. heavily influenced by his time spent in the u.s., he started to develop a musical aesthetic, which he is now ready to express. young florent florent moved to vancouver from switzerland to attend art school. he began to get into making techno. tapping into his french-martinique roots, florent quickly developed a unique sound, which caught rossÆs ear. a few live jams later, it was clear that they worked well together, so they got a studio space and got to work. one month later, dojo had its first release. florent has only been making music for a year, but his swiss work-ethic is dangerous

now, here comes daniel herrmanns (aka flug 8) debut album >lösch dein profil< in english >erase you profile< or >delete user<. fully packed with metaphors he overdraws to understate. flug 8 cannot be nailed on any genre-board, but creates a homogeneous melancholic music stuffed up with secret hopes, by reducing it on a hand full of sounds and a certain range of simplified tunes. might this be true kraut-techno?

10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it

royal bangs are from knoxville. that in itself is a statement: theres not much that comes from knoxville, tennessees third largest city, and even less that gets away. quentin tarantino made it out, but the last citys mayor was allegedly so desperate to escape he now works as the us ambassador in poland. cormac mccarthy moved there as a child, of course, but by the time he d written his second book he was long gone. only johnny knoxville advertises his geographical roots, and quite clearly hes a glutton for punishment. so while just one of royal bangs currently has a passport, that doesnt mean they dont know that royal bangs is their ticket out of town.

markantonio s analytic trail label has been instrumental in creating what is now recognized as the neapolitan techno sound. strongly influenced by their house roots, the labels inventive approach has seen them feature the likes of rino cerrone, valentino kanzyani, the advent, davide squillace and paco osuna. analytic trails its what i like series of ep s has previously featured cuts from a mixture of household names (joy kitikonti, the advent,valentino kanzyani) as well as unearthing some of techno s most exciting new talent. this latest ep focuses on three new names who are making waves with their music. already an emerging name within the naples scene thanks to his work for labels like glowbox and capsula, francesco gemelli typifies the sound of italy with a driving goodtime romp through an array of rubbery tonal synths and acidic bass croatian, vladimir acic has forged a strong reputation playing alongside the techno greats at exit and impressing umek enough to snap up his productions. here he shows why with a fast paced trip through warped flickering tech moods mark morris completes the trio on show on this ep. choosing a style that sits between funked up tech and wobbly minimalism, play with me retains a strong identity with italian techno via a funky bassline but adds a linear restrained vibe.
