outland records proudly presents the debut release by two very young dutch lads who call themselves loops. they have already gained much attention the past few months with their stunning live-performance, creating mayhem everywhere they play. luckily the gents found some time to record two uberfunky floorfilling tracks which will please both dj and crowd when played out loud. tuner is one hell of a groovy piece with nice breaks and vocal snippets which will get you dancing your ass off. what the song 16, maybe 17, maybe 18 is all about we dont know (you figure it out), we do know that this track will get the people to move their butt to the dancefloor.

part i of the 1991 megaseller in a special 180g double vinyl release.

nice deep & soulful house music

the first release on this new label is from gatto fritto who has released records on dissident and electric minds and recently remixed subway on souljazz. the a side hex is a nine minute, mid tempo, atmospheric, bearded disco trip taking in falsetto vocals, straight to video synths, acoustic guitars and the budget, analog death rattle of a vintage siel cruise. the bmside beachy head is a teutontastic tribute to the uks favourite suicide spot. a 3/4 krauty synth builder that spills into layered waves of guitars and unforgiving rocks of heavy analog bass...think klaus schulze and steve reich rolling off a cliff in 1983 datsun cherry.

scaring us all the way from sofia, bulgeria spatula city is proud to present to you the technologically advanced technique of the one like the kink. snapping off his first spatula city release with three dancefloor scorchers, this record is not to be missed. jigga is just a straight up bassline balancing act that just drives. on dat funk and check he collaborates with eclectic vocal stylings of austin, txs j.a.m.o.n. both tunes are jump up flex on the floor devastators. kinks techy vibe and robotlike control over j.a.m.o.n.s vocals creates a sound unlike any other artist in the scene. his tech savvy jack infused style cannot be compared to. just when you think one of these tunes is going off the deep end, it turns around and jacks you right in the face! and...just for funks we had kink add two accapella tools which are super easy to mix and sound great over any jackin beats.

great second release on the exciting par tay imprint brings together another collection of top notch dancefloor friendly re edits. kicking off with low down dirty, which sees this patrick cowley production rearranged and stretched out into a awesome low slung sleazy disco groover. next up is thank you for funkin me, a super funky par tay cut and finally a superb extended edit of black bloods 1975 afro disco obscurity a.i.e. a mwana, an awesome track sung in swahili, and later covered by english pop act bananarama. essential!!!

after the great label launch with the >japan woman ep< its time for off recordings #2! support by matt john, luke solomon, ilario alicante, dave ellesmere, ruede hagelstein, laurent garnier, jamy wing & many more!

get digital is off to a blazing start after the release of the mini hit >kaskazi< from simon baker and jamie jones and the well received travelling the world ep from the fresh and talented mac neumann. now we are proud to invite the veteran thomas schumacher who has produced with elektrochemie & dj t. and recorded for legendary labels such as bush, gigolo, get physical and his own spielzeug schallplatten. schumacher is a true producers producer and we are sure these two distinctive orchestrations are sure to love up the dance every time. >hot< is something that would come to mind if one heard the word >picanha<, in passing. and without a doubt the main track >picanha< is hotter than a stolen jalapeño in july. precisely layered percussion, meticulously situated effects and drums tuned with minutiae detail are the backbone of this track, but the groove comes courtesy of the schumacher brass orchestra.

since their first releases on circus company and milnormodern the 3 mousketeers achieve to impose themsleves on the scene with their unik touch. the band is clement zemtsov on beat programing, damien vandesande on keyboards and horns at last but not least, jonathan illel is warmly laying the lyrics. after having produced hip-hop instrumental for a few years they got into house music after meeting nicolas from nôze. one year and a half later they come up with between the blues ep, a brilliant first ep on circus company. then the guys several eps on other labels like orac or eklo. they also start touring a lot across europe and eastern countries. this new record is called blanche neige (snow white) as the lead track of the ep. all the lyrics from it are taken from the original text written by jacob & whilelm grimm back in 1812. .blanche neige is declined in two different versions. on the a side comes the original mix is the dancefoor cut. slower house beat, solid groove, surround by a marvelous chior. while the break show upreading the first lines of snow white in french. let me just tell you that when the break is over you should fasten your seat belt before a nice take off… the first track on b side is romeo. this track was produced by dop and nôze. once again all the lyrics are taken from a book. here its from .romeo and juliet written by william shackespeare. this track perfectly represent the alliance of both bands. the unik saxophone skills from damien vandesande the one man horn section, a wonderfull piano ride by nôze and the sexy voice of jonathan illel. an acoustic house blaster ! the ep is finaly closing down on b2 with the pop version of blanche neige called >kinder cut. there comes the deepness

3 beat have consistenly delivered some of the biggest tracks throughout 2008, and here they follow up the pop smash of paddys revenge with altogether cooler but equally catchy remix package of candy on dancefloor. comes in a variety of styles, head for the wideboys electro influenced mix as this totally tears the roof off- massive release and just in time for the party season new buzz chart no.3 !

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

hidden recordings first vinyl release after two years with only digital. the releases are called hidden sessions and will be a series of 4 track records with music from the digital releases over the past two years. the first record includes tracks from argentinas gustavo lamas, who received a rave review in time out new york and not to be out-done was the remix by deepak and dieter krause. the 3rd and 4th tracks come from an earlier release from deepak and dieter off their >shes got soul< ep. hades is a darker, high energy minimal track which was received nicely in europe reaching no16 on top downloads for kompakt-mp3. >blow< has been labeled the duos signature track with warm deep bass, soft pads, guitar riffs and a strong psychedelic influence. the track also received strong worldwide recognition as it was licensed to uk label fourtwentys music02 mix compilation completed by james mowbray

formed in 1997 by philipp albrecht (guitar), rene albrecht (drums) and christoph lenz (bass) - singer christian erne entered the band in 2000. since he left plenty enuff in 2007 philipp albrecht and jessica sigfalk took the micro power. plenty enuff have been experimenting with sounds from the sixties for almost ten years. starting off with a traditional type of ska they soon switched to a dark blend of roots reggae. their large amount of shows already brought them to the jazz festival of montreux this year.

10 years on and still going strong, dessous makes its mark once again with the release of three exclusive remixes of classic tracks, on a brand new off-shoot project, dessous classics. supported by m. landsky and karotte !!!

one of the finest deepest tearjearking jams ever to come from the brains of the legendary american producer stinkworx! coelacanth is a piece-de-resistance of soulfull technoblues where moody synth riffs play over an irresistable funk baseline. on the other side we find the track amira another huge deep detroit techno jam where basic channel-esque chords evaporate over a sauce of delicate electronics. two beautifull tracks with which stinkworx continues the great american techno legacy. to finish everything off there is a syncom data remix of the track coelacanth where the baseline is squeezed out to the max!

the third installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series is a showcase for two standout songs off their album stars of zoo. >sf< is a throwback to classic house tracks, with a modern twist - a playground full of joyous children have invaded its sly, bongo-laden grooves. yet these precocious youngsters are only part of the story – the beats insistent and ever-changing swing never lets up for more than a couple of moments. >2< is more ominous but no less effective. its primary percussion enters like springs filling up an echo chamber, gradually morphing into several competing themes that weave together throughout the track. 2s bass is a serious force, creating a physical presence that must be heard on a large system to be believed!

the original mixes caught the attention of artists such as d.i.m and les petits pilous and is remixed by shadow dancer (boys noize records) and fukkk offf (coco machete). this ones heavy heavy! supported by shifter almirall, be trash, the bloody beetroots, er2, craack, tmx and many more!

back with another of their much loved eps - the knee deep guys dig deep to satisfy your dancefloors yet again courtesy of the french love ep. kicking off with >all night< a charged up bullet with hooky vocal loop and infectious synthy lick, >vibin< is exactly that - a stabby low end bassline powers on alongside the sweet warming melody whilst the whole groove builds and builds leading to the chant-fuelled breakdown. rounding things off, >sweet love< has that epic crowd pleasing vibe you will have come to expect from the kd guys… again its simplicity at its best using a hooky riff throughout, and allowing the groove to shine. a power-packed ep in 3 different flavours

sometime chicken lips collaborator and full time disco don stevie kotey keeps the momentum going on his longstanding and ever consistent imprint by going slightly off piste with the latest bearfunk 12inch. for my friends is the work of lusty zanzibar aka alex cordiner, cabaret voltaire fan and former holistic artist, and we re struggling to describe it effectively to be honest. its a simple concoction of fluttery synth riffs and fat bottom end, but has the sort of quirky melody that you just dont expect to hear in a noo disco record, or a house record for that matter. it is, however totally infectious, and destined to be one of bearfunks biggest of the year we reckon. solid mixes come from kotey and lusty himself, and all are dominated by the riff, as will your brain be after listening to this package a few times. beginning of the night, end of the night, all night, all aboard the wonky disco train to zanzibar

this one is a killer! spiros kaloumenos hits the fresh special series off on the a-side with two very strong tribal influenced techno tracks. the funk driven a1 surely knocks you out! very heavy on percussion making this a peaktime tool not to be taken lightely. with overdrive spiros takes you to detroit, the groovy stabs and phat phunked beats make this track a clear prime time banger, one that simply cant be missed! on the flip we find dj shee-la with two hot deep n dark techno rollers. raw bassline driven frantic breath and bummed out are proving that chicks can rock hard indeed! be sure to keep an eye out on her next releases!

supported by richie hawtin, onur Özer, dj hell, butch, dan ghenacia, stephan bodzin, gel abril, john selway, kiki, groove rebels, joseph capriati, bjoern scheurmann, adam (made to play), mikel mckay, owner of the wiesbaden-based circus records presents his debut on bigcitybeats techno and what an incredible introduction this is! amigos ep is started off by the good-mooded angma that takes you back into the 1930s, which is how old the sample is mikel and eddie cut in from a native american singer and flute player. with a crazy and yet in itself contained arrangement it has all necessary requirements to be one of these big tunes

mark it off, to keep it holy, not to be mistaken for ordinary...

against the grain / hot on the heels of dancehall thrilla, comes the second single project from deekline & wizards sophomore album, >back off, coming through<. spread across two 12inchs, this release boasts the cream of remixing talent. we have mj cole turning out a jazzy, two-step gem, dj bomba keeping the house heads happy

feel-good booty vibes on this cheeky white of housed up version of this big us party track. lloyd featuring ludacris waxing lyrical about how they do it in the club, this mix takes it off more in neptunes disco territory, throw your hands up in the air for the old skool

disco/funky infused peaktime 2 tracker!!

the zentrale randgruppe ep features 2 original tracks from the lucerne boys. their deep & cinematic grooves have been remixed by the almighty afrilounge, who ve turned in 2 nice dubby flavoured mixes of >frijoles< while jens bonds driving remix of >deep sea diver< gives the track a more big room feel. a well rounded package to kick off the debut release from the swiss duo

two key players of the scene join forces on figures sixteenth release. no one else than adam beyer and luke slater contribute tracks to this very special ep. mod by luke slaters planetary assault systems project takes off with a fast, breathless groove. its force drags the dancers along, and the mesmerizing bleeps put everybody in a deep trance. within seconds, the solid ground of the dancefloor is nothing but a remote memory. mod has a very special aura, it is hard to grasp its exceptional energy. it appears to be pretty elementary, and yet it is an verwhelming techno anthem which will accompany you for quite some time. adam beyers simulated usage surprises the crowd with its elegance and subtlety. forming an irresistible funk, the fabric of the track interweaves various tiny elements. this savageness obviously manifests in his musical approach which can be characterized by his open-mindedness in regard to diverse influences, currents and styles. simulated usage is strong and joyful, it is techno in its best sense. once again, adam beyer und luke slater manage to coin the face of contemporary club music.

nice price deal !!! nother pounding hybrid set of low-end killers here from hot-flush, kicking off with the tumbling rhythms and wobbling sublow of ?deep under? - its a track that teeters on the brink of breaks science throughout, keeping itself wrapped up in a relentless bass envelope despite the distractions brought on by constantly evolving skitters - mighty stuff. the rhodes-inflected breaks and bass clash of ?sparkle? offers time for reflection on the flip, borrowing a melodic underlay from some abandoned, dusty jazz-club somewhere strange, tugging you back underground with its careful arrangement if frequencies at the lowest end of the spectrum. righteous

made to play brings the noise with the sounds of wearhouse music and head honcho lee mortimer. lee mortimers exciting, sleazy, demented take on house has been kicking the sh*t out of dance floors and festivals the world over. this e.p is not for the faint hearted but is for those who like to rock a big crowd in a ballistic way. when jimi hendrix played not just one but both sides of it at woodstock in the 70s the place went off its tits and when he reverted back to playing the guitar it just couldnt compare and he never quite got over that. lee mortimer is currently reveling in mass support from the likes of switch, claude vonstroke, diplo and kriss akabusi who apparently likes to play these tracks as a post love ritual, naked and chanting awooga! round the camp fire he has in his bedroom. if you want to embellish the feeling of either hendrix or akabusi in the primes of their existences then get stuck into this release and youll feel like a combination of the two peaking on acid.

very cool deep minimal tech. mikael stavostrand is one of those extremely talentd swedish guys that bring the deeper sound of minimal techno. with releases on labels like globox, adjunct, sushitech, we are and audiobahn he just showed what he is capable off. a very cool deep minimal release that will hold its power on the dancefloor. crazy cool stuff for all the fans of the titbit sound

remixes by dmx krew & junior sanchez

counting names such as todd terje and lcd soundsystem s james murphy as fans, he has recently stepped up a gear with his own original productions for solardisco & prins thomas, this is his first eskimo release!!get blown off your socks!

franco cinelli, one of the most gifted new producers coming out of argentina, presents here six uncompromisingly quirky club bombs. his previous releases on milnor modern and telegraph have just warmed you up to his sound. now dive in to >profundo amor< and get familiar with these intricately programmed club stompers. you can call it minimal, but when these tracks go ripping through a big pa, thats the last word that will be on your mind. with the opening track >flog<, you get a taste of the freaky after-hours grit that alphahouse records is becoming known for. >m26< is a robotic hair-raiser for the new generation. think minus on steroids. >twisted machine< features a stompy groove and some snare work to drive the dancefloor. >vertientes< is a great dj-tool with a low-slung bassline and dancing synths. >c3d< bounces along with a razor bassline and some tricky transitions. and >project 64< finishes off the lp with a synth line that falls out of the ceiling and straight onto the dancefloor. truly inspiring stuff here, from franco. no filler tracks. all of these are a-sides

ffms premium label for deep & minimal sounds qualitative high above standard dance stuff is back from the summer break. traditionally lnz mastermind pascal feos himself lights the lnz release oven and adds his label cataloque with two endurance track runners. it may surprise, how airly the runner with starting number 1 floats through the colourful wood of golden october, cheered on by moogy mild hookline that strokes the drum body. from time to time the race track passes some clearings, the chilling atmosphere of pascal feos side-project aural float waves at the horizon. but then he trots on and on embraced by the feeling of runners high. with the racing number 2 the >generator child< starts athletic but thoughtful on his tom tom-dymanic soles, more and more leading into an 808-hypnotic run on black asphalt. a >generator child< speech sample trails off in the dusk and an lfo-spiralled veil of mist twirls over the head of the scared kid.

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

baker street sits perfectly alongside such great french labels as robsoul and brique rouge and fittingly, phil weeks delivers a trademark deep and soulful groove for lead track. 3 variations on the theme, but label bosses holmes & watz step out of their familiar territory for a smoking hip hop joint to round the ep off. baker street offer a top notch ep that would get even the good dr watson nodding his head to.

an impressive collection of their biggest classic hits!! quality dsd remastered and double 12inch gatefold edition!!

another great big hits compilation of the rolling stones!! full coloured gatefold edition!!

the into the night ep is a wonderful deep, slow & moving record that should be one of the highlights in this years autumn sessions. into the night kicks off with some wild pitch – alike chords and builds up soulful, moody but strong. tectonic move is so damn groovy and might be one the funkiest trax ever coming out of the metaworld universe of matt flores. also the tempo of almost 120 bpm is sexy as hell... all percussions & the bass are played live by matt flores. “tectonic move” also features some extatic detroitish synths that makes you scream. a definitive winner! the tectonic move flores & saenger dub has been rearranged a bit by matt flores and farsides ingo saenger (one half of westpark unit). they stripped the tune, put more focus on the groove and re dubbed all harmonies & synths. the result is a funky smokers riddim for all you dubby tool headz out there.

superb club anthems from peppelino, odessa soundfreaks, dj mika, john karagiannis & paylipservice

this time its all dope ammos own work with >cold rock a party<, a track which will do exactly what it says on the tin, and >rumble< packed with plenty off sub-bass to do just that on the dancefloor

the mysterious syrinx came to us out of nowhere. his tracks sound as if he has been around for a long time, maybe he has. we were pleasantly surprised with the standard of his music. deep, melancholic and building dub techno, just as we like it. though keeping the tradition alive (model 500, chain reaction etc), he does add his own vibe to this genre. nice! this is volume one out of two. both releases will come in matching artwork...

following up from his widely acclaimed ep for workshop and his first solo-ep on mikrodisko, two new tracks emerge from the abyss that is kassem mosses studio, striking fear and awe in the hearts of mastering engineers. aqueous haze, his new ep for mikrodisko, starts with >no peace no love no unity<, an 808 driven stomp through landscapes of derelict synths buried in vintage and broken device chains. the track finishes off with a brief reminder of the past. the sixties? the seventies? they never sounded anything like this. >578< on the flip is out on a roll, straight ahead, not turning back, pushing towards a better tomorrow. the utopia that time forgot. we call it techno

here comes part 2 remixes of ananda projects insanely beautiful let love fly single with another unreleased cosmic straight mix (remix) by body & soul resident joe joaquin claussell, as well as chris branns original early winter mix and nycs own ebar supplying us with an eclectic dub. joe re rubs this tune with a gorgeous melodically luxuriant affair, joes dub mix has been championed at body & soul as well as his vocal mix. chris branns version massages our senses & lovely melodic version made its debut on the recent remix album night blossom. lastly, ebars drummy dub is completely off the wall taking this tune to a whole new level, to infinity and beyond…
