alex cortex >unshell< is the follow up to his acclaimed >i wont conform< (pom22) and the foretaste for his upcoming album which is going to be released on pomelo this coming fall.
>unshell< features 4 modern dancefloor tracks in best cortex style, characterized by tight rhythmic structures and a unique and irrestistible hypnotic power.
from deep stumbling house grooves with piano stabs and a male vocal admiring >your sexy moves< and a chicago jacker with a repetitive voice on the a side, to athmospheric dark techno with warped sound effects and breakbeat house layered with modulating 8-bit sounds on the flip, this record shows once more alex cortex skills to move off the beaten tracks in his very own style.

and here it is: the second vinyl ep of niko schwinds album >good morning midnight<. it features some of the unique tracks that niko has created together with some of berlins hottest production talents. on the a side are two tracks that feature the clicky tech-house boys that are channel x, where things kick off with >back from the bar<. it sounds as the title suggests: a little wobbly, a little drunk, a little crazy, but also pretty magic. quite clearly this is an homage to one of berlins not-to-be-forgotten clubs that is unfortunately history now. but things continue on here at least with >dont turn the lights on<, a more straightforward dancefloor track, with a trumpet as the main protagonist. this is one of those tracks that keeps leading up to a real arms-in-the-air-moment if it wasn’t so damn housy at the same time. on the flip the magical connection between niko and label daddy oliver koletzki can be heard on >master of ceremony<, a chopped-up house track with epic dimensions. when things get to the piano breakdown, they get very musical and colossal before dropping back into a great house track. the stark contrast between the piano melody and the groove on this really make it. last but not least then, the original album opener >good morning< that features the singing of fran. it works great as a great album opener, but also perfectly as a slower and more thoughtful addition to a great ep

a year after the initial digital release heres the long awaited nugget for all the vinyl lovers: d-pulse >velocity of love< with the new richer sound and the additional vinyl-only remixes. after a lot has been said about the original track and hot toddys mix (which was recently licensed for the ministry of sounds >late night sessions< compilation) these two new remixes resting on the side b are definitely worth to be mentioned. mario basanov (hailing from lithuania) really surprised us all with his musical thinking and a fresh point of view on the original track and also - by finishing such a quality mix in only 3 (!) days. the second mix that finishes off the ep was done by the new name from izhevsk - andrew starodumov aka eclectic sound (previously featured on our >obscured by the machines< compilation). his mix is a nice background for coastal chilling under the soft evening sunbeams. enjoy

in 2010, when we started to revitalise the tresor label, we reached out to some of the greatest artists, not just in tresors history, but in techno. late 2010 we sat down in a paris cafe, just off the pompidou centre, with jeff mills, on a rainy, otherwise unremarkable and miserable day. but on this day we were given two very strong pieces of advice. >hire a fanastic a&r and sign sleeparchive<. so here we are, an artist that has been on the underground radar of the hacker, miss kittin and richie hawtin makes his debut on tresor records with >ronan point<. >the tracks developed from parts and loops i had created for my live set and always wanted to make tracks from. after a little break i took with the sleeparchive project the record for tresor was a great opportunity to make these tracks.< sleeparchives live sets have graced the dance floors and sound systems of berghain, arena club and bloc weekend, so it is fair to say that the 4 tracks that make up ?ronan point are not just tried and tested, but actually born on the dance floor. >> press: dj magazine techno single of the month.

bedroom community broadens the scope with their newest release: en garde by puzzle muteson, a mysterious, intimate record by a fearless songwriter and lyricist from the windswept isle of wight. arranged and produced by collaborators and labelmates nico muhly and valgeir sigurdsson, en garde is a strange, comforting and alarmingly personal record. driven, spare lyrics are hoisted high by vocals of steady, sturdy tremble. each tune swells with plush guitar pluck in a sea of orchestration and electronics. recorded in the greenhouse studios in iceland, the album collects puzzle muteson s odd and beautiful stories - about love and horses, rust and polar bears, heartbreak and birds. puzzle s songs are curious sounds from a troubled heart and his lyrics are urgent and open, striking a note with their vulnerable memories. i was once a horse is an unforgettable song about nostalgia. the first single and title track, en garde , pits puzzle s longing against waves of dense strings and jagged rhythm, while perspex disguise sets his naked, translucent vocals against shimmering piano that refracts off epic chords. in flamingo head he sings, i left your house. you let me. i left you ugly , buffeted by guitar and distant murmurs. not a single thing could take this magical sight. i ll find you still , he sings in medusa , the story of a man tracking down a lost love. like many bedroom community recordings, en garde takes an unexpected and unique voice and elevates it out of any easily discernible pocket. puzzle muteson could be folk or something completely different - instead he s an intense stranger from the isle of wight - at once both familiar and unfamiliar. en garde heralds a haunting and essential new voice, beautiful, earned and yearning

if you will permit me to get a little honors english on yall, classical scholar sir richard livingstone once stated that >our danger is not too few, but too many options ... to be puzzled by innumerable alternatives.< say what? well, take flo ridas predicament on new david guetta single where dem girls at: upon stepping into the club, so many fly females catch his eye simultaneously that he finds himself incapable of deciding where to begin. as hes struggling to resolve this deadlock over the veteran djs stark synths and four-on-the-floor percussion, an especially alluring specimen swoops in to make the decision for him - not only is she gonna kick it with him, but shell bring her equally fly friends along for the ride. playing the woman in question, young money heavy-hitter nicki minaj attacks the beat as only she can, dropping what may well be her most off-the-wall guest 16 since monster. so, readers, this dancefloor-scorcher + remixes on this vinyl will whet your appetite for more body-moving bangers, no doubt about that

maurizio vitello returns to metroline with some seriously deep bass-driven techno. a devastating ep. the lead track is a driving, stripped down techno groove. full-bodied toms and a seriously fat bass keep the track rolling while filtered vocals and understated synths add the dynamics. heavy! looking good keeps that groove going with a bassline so heavy you will have to pick yourself up off the floor. a bubbling percussion break evolves throughout the track, building in complexity, but kept in check by some nice metronomic hats at the high end. on movers maurizio lets the drums do the talking. everything locks tightly around the solid kicks. the multi-layered break adds a sweet cubano vibe that you simply wont be able to shake off. let the bass drrrrooopppp! pleased? yes we are. this playful track is going set the summer floors on fire. vocal samples weave in and out of the mix, and sharp-as-a-needle 80s-tinged synths stab through the deep, heavy rhythm track to awesome effect.

eldens debut release fits cutting edge sound design into the context of being dancy, mystic and auditively interesting! side a comes with an intro that freezes the blood in your veines, shortly before the original club version kneads the heart hot again while the retouched version on side b is really putting you in stasis, wondering >how?<. finally, all gets topped off with an enlightening message by dr. steven greer of the disclosure project and the deep-in-detail cover graphics by maria & benjamin dalcke that are completing the x-files-style atmosphere of that kafkaesque and beautiful record! do not miss that rare vinyl as there will not be any repress!

unos second release comes from montreals jacques greene. in his north american debut, we bring you two new tracks that reveal a darker, acid housed side of the lauded producer. lay it down unites bass swing with a floor shaking acid line thats known to make rooms dance like autism. new york house standards whatever/whatever give the flip side a jacking make over of 90s proportions. the hard hitting >what are you feelin< (which has been received much uk in the past year, including mary ann hobbs bbc show) finishes off the 12 inch, builds up the grand finale, after which you might find yourself in a puddle of something wet, wondering where greene went.

their debut three tracker ep has a theme running through it.. yup, its all about sides. first up is a riff you may well know from trevor horn and fgth. they take the tribe groove, slow it down and strip the groove back. using just the riff from the famous 80s monster hit they cunningly carve out >two sides< as their sultry opener. next up >by my side< enlists the help of the handily associated brass section. shuffling grooves, stabby horns and muted picked guitar are the order of the day. its a perfect one for those early dj-set appetizing sections. to round things off we tone it down even further with the beautiful >by my side<. subtle tones, lazy keys and a smouldering groove. when the keys kick in during the last minute its a glorius and sublime treat. stay tuned for more sides.

faze action maintain their fine run of form in 2011 with this four tracker from the shack, aka guy williams and dan williams (not related!) both have been active in dance music from the early 90s, with guy holding dj residencies at clubs such as the ministry of sound and turnmills during their pomp while dan williams aka d.r.w carved a career as a singer/songwriter. together as the shack they have absolutely nailed it with >touch it<, a sleazy-does-it italo peak time jam. arpeggiated synth lines, catchy vocal hooks and instant bassline work in jotous unison with some cowbell carnage. the 12 inch comes replete with a dub version and boogie influence faze action remix. rounding off the release is another original cut, namely >dont stop, in which tough drums combine with a late night vocal intoning the track title to bewitching effect. this shack attack has already found its way into the record bags of pete herbert and severino - expect it to be in many more come summer s end.

the newly crowned dutch emporium of all things disco tinged swiftly presents a second round of vinyl-only gems - commencing with the classic philly disco boogie strains of >just cant get enough< which contains just the right amount of deviations into sonic filtration. complementing this is the instrumental boogie heat of >lets go swingin< which fully demonstrates the majestys pleasure talent for slicing and dicing the groove. turn over for the insistent chugging sounds of >tainted binary< which unfolds brilliantly into a string heavy disco epic. the best is perhaps saved for last as >didnt mean to dub u off< reveals itself as a crystalline filled excursion into 80s proto house excellence.

who am i? thats what ruede hagelstein asks himself when he looks at the reflection in the mirror every morning when he gets up. then the image goes into the studio and produces tracks for upon you for him. the first one sings >give a little slap to your soul< darkly and romanticly at a relaxed 120 bpm into the mike and has taken up lodgings on a1 of our uy 047. the second plays piano, even if just paraphrased. the b1 beat requires a slightly faster dancer that a1. then the third member of the group on b2 with a quite definitive minimal touch, sounds a bit like peter and the wolf at the lsd opera … hop hop off you go then my lovelies.

c series returns to bring more hard groove monsters to your ears! c8 - sombrita : c8 starts off and goes all latino on your ass! smooth sexy vocals flow through the break leading into pounding bass line and groove, floor shaking beats and rattlesnake bongos complete this rework for some latin american booty shaking, c series style! c8 - lowis: another classic rework for this release. the track maintaining some of the original work that makes it instantly recognizable, but then takes on a harder and darker twist by being reinforced with some tough beats and bass made for a heads down, driving groover. a must for tearing off the roof at any party!

clandestine techno/house imprint, meanwhile records reveals a one-off opus from two highly respected techno producers, niels luinenberg (delta funktionen) and samuel van dijk (mohlao). the deeply mystical >inward content< session represents the leuwarden sound of their native north holland (also former home to another master of hypnotic repetition ((of the graphic type)), m.c. escher) with an elegant, classically informed and deeply refined brand of 4/4 also identified on celebrated 12inches for ann aimee and delsin. the albums six tracks use an economical production palette, but we wouldnt call them minimal. the emphasis is on subtly monotone melodic shades, from the rippling black masses of bass which power each track, to the bluest hued pads and unfathomably expansive atmospheres which lend them their spectral grace. listening to this album is almost a mystical experience, like hearing the results of a seance conducted in low-lit surroundings calling upon the spirits of basic channel, convextion and the black dog circa 1995. >inward content< took over two years to assemble and techno connoisseurs can clearly discern why. recommended!

**hand-stamped white label, limited edition of 400** four effluvial techno and industrial bass weight remakes of tracks from cloaks debut lp by ancient methods, justin broadrick, oyaarss, and legion of two. >versus grain< was one of the darkest transmissions we caught in 2009, whose rotten and rusted fruits provide brilliantly raw material for the remixes. its worth the cost of entry alone for ancient methods nine-minute viking ruffige remix of >r.f.i.d, the kind of northern european tribal funk workout that makes folk dance like they mean it. on a more crushed and crushing tip, legion of two dole out scorn-strength percussion and muscle tearing bass torsion on a remake of >against<, while oyaarss dismantle >sixmenace two< and rebuild it as frankensteinian dancefloor monster. to polish off the foolhardy few still standing, justin broadrick (jesu, godflesh) detonates >rust on metal< with bombastic halfstep force, giving a bitter taste of what to expect from his 3by3 album, due out next year. heavyweight.

detroit based coyote cuts kick off with this funky 4-tracker of fresh jazz-flavoured house cuts. its time to get down!

almost three years after their release >lake<, odessa appear appealing their scene again. actually, their privacy breaktime should not have been a musical discontinuance, too. but as it sometimes goes things happen abruptly. although the ep >memory leak< already was pre-produced in 2009 it got just recently a detailed finishing. leave off the idea these tracks could have had their half-life already, not at all. odessa stay here and now, presenting reduced, cool-organic house with wide atmospheres. even though odessa music keeps ascetical aesthetics since the beginning a certain pathos can deeply be felt. once again, but just for one track (>l aurore<), frederique frankes exceptional voice comes to effect.

city limits vol 1.6-1.8 completes a hat trick of releases from silkie on deep medi musik and last before his highly anticipated and long overdue new album city limits vol. 2. this heavyweight four track ep sees silkie deliver a diverse helping of his unique style. >its late< with its catchy vocal hook, driving drums and surging synth owes as much to silkies early garage influences as it does to the sound of detroit techno, >float< and >murky< are all about the weighty dub influenced bass lines and keys alongside the super deep melodies and groove, finally the bumpin >techfunk< with its piercing synth, frenetic drums and g-funk style bass rounds off the ep perfectly keeping you wanting more and hungry for the next installment. radio support: benji b (radio 1), dva scratcha (rinse), gilles peterson (radio 1), mistajam (1xtra & radio 1), sinden (kiss fm), j 5ive (antisocial) (rinse). dj support: mala (dmz), skream, benga, toddla t, joe nice (dub war).

frijsfo beats are proud to announce the latest single from uk bass badman, sully, entitled >toffee apple<. picking up where his 2010 keysound single >in some pattern< left off, it sees the versatile pirate vibes-imbibed producer take purple synths and twist them into dizzying contortions. a rude drop roots the track firmly in uk soundsystem culture while a tough steppers beat drives it forward. sully is one of the most treasured yet under-celebrated producers in the uk today. finding a space between 2steps swing, dubsteps edge and breaksteps drums, his versatile productions perfected styles and vibes four or five years before the future garage movement had begun to investigate them. as the rest of the bass family are now embracing house, 2step, uk funky, purple synths and juke, sully looks to have a big 2011 ahead of him. >toffee apple< is the perfect sweetener. limited edition single-sided 10 inch release with etching on flip.

300 copies, vinyl only, authentic, raw, underground. the second offering from laak on their austere imprint is another defined four tracker. >back of beyond< kicks things off, a sincere heads down jam combining latin percussion elements with a killer bass line and warm chords. the second track, >dont ever leave< is a heartfelt lament on the feeling of loss, slowing the tempo down, this one is deep! on the flip, >cosmic causeway< offers something a little different although keeping with the warm pads, this time the use of a spaced out trumpet keeps things flowing. the remaining track >cantankerous emotions< is a little different as regards to the beats, but loses none of the soul and profoundness of the other tracks. only for the underground soldiers!

we all knew very well that we had reached a point of no return. there was no need to talk about it. and although there was hardly enough time for us to reflect on our shared experiences, we were sure that everything was going to be alright. all four of us were sitting there, facing each other, sad, yet full of confidence. never again we would allow any meatball to bully us around. we have had enough of this useless on and off, and of all this stupid jobs of even more stupid users. from now on, we will programme our chips ourselves. >go to hell! no one will ever touch my board again! in the future, i will solder it myself, and the way i want it to! robotica, here we come!<
