funkalicious james is one half of disco-house super-duo childhood 87, along with his old pal le loup. their >caught up< edit on airdrops aux-rec imprint back in january 2010 got some mouths talking and feet sliding. funkalicious james is now back with his debut solo ep and airdrop is really glad to bring it to you on vinyl today. the parisian born producer prepared two explosive cuts for his a-side, starting things mellow with >call on groove< and speeding it up a notch on >broken hips<. on the flip, douze -- another young parisian producer who appeared on the last hold youth record by seuil and le loup -- brings back a certain touch of french filtering, in the classiest manner. finally, it didnt take us much time to figure out who would be the most appropriate airdrop trooper to round this record off… john spring signs the deal, with a feverish version

a made up sound aka 2562 and dexter deliver two remixes for arttu featuring jerry the cat. nuclear funk and get up off it get transformed from raw chicago influenced cuts into darker electro/techno hybrids by these two dutch techno wizzards. both known for their sharp productions that cross over between techno, electro and bass music they have a fresh take on the original versions. by the choice of remixers we didnt expect the standard house remixes, something more challenging would fit the spirit of the originals. this remix 12 inch might be is somewhat of a dark horse in the house orientated clone royal oak catalogue, but expectations are to there be messed up.

a well deserved re-issue of an 1982 italo-disco gem by joe coleman.

hypnotic groovin techhouse madness...

amazing collaboration between arttu and detroits jerry the cat. two tracks recorded in spontanious live jams in arttus studio. two tracks that deliver what we like in house music! emotion, passion and fun.. and fun is exactly what these two guys had while recording these two crazy funk driven raw house jams! classic tracks rooted in the best chicago tradition combined with the unique voice of jerry. goose bumps!!!

horse meat disco member luke howard debuts the miss cheesecake nom de plume for a shiny vinyl release on the venerable london institution otherwise known as faze action records. electronic bass and piano action abounds on >get off the floor< which features some delightfully lo-fi robotic vocals and a relentlessly driving groove, while >you must create<, which features lukes own vocals, is dripping in neon-tinged 80s dancefloor sweat. sharing the flipside is a typically lush proto house remix of >you must create< from label chiefs faze action which really could be the theme tune to a 1983 moustache-riddled cop action flick set in san francisco, alongside an instrumental version of the original cut<

peaktime couture it’s much more words to live by than just a simple message from funky town. each design strictly limited to 100 copies!!!

hailing from lexington, kentucky, matt mason and rick nielsen, better known as the corduroy mavericks, are quickly smashing the stereotype that the midwest is lacking in prolific house music producers. with their quirky range of jazzy, soulful, techy, deep and funky house, new york, chicago, the west coast and other dance meccas have been put on notice via the sonic enthusiasm of a pair of corduroy-loving trailblazers from the bluegrass state.

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011

incredilbe package with remixes by schatrax, kink, todd sines as .xtrak, kink and the subliminal kid. the result of schatrax take is a typically beautiful and deep reworking. todds remix of dodaso is typically fucked up and funky in true .xtrak style. kinks version of the gauntlet remains quite faithful to the original whilst also instilling it with his own trippy and unique style. last year peder mannerfelt, aka the subliminal kid, sent me a track which became the only track released on off-key through a demo submission. blackwood freestyle has mutated under the hands by the subliminal kid into a rolling dub inflected groover.

final version, 501 goes off road again with this massive double a-side.

after the well received dvk remixes subsitenz thought its only fitting to pair up one of dnbs hardest and bulgarias biggest export cooh with the two south london stow aways dvk. there fruits of their labor as you would expect is fooking insane. off the leash is not for the faint hearted or pregnant a relentless driver of a track with beats that mutate and evolve constantly over subs fatter than dawn frenchs ass. with the signature dvk rolling percs and pumping side chained filth matched with coohs lethal arrangements and movement of beats off the leash is one pissed pit bull in a poodle parlor. once bitten twice shy is a techy affair still relentless to the core with all the twist and turns that are synonymous to the likes of cooh and dvk. filthy stabs and hits are thrown manically around like a poltergeist having an epileptic fit in a china shop adding chaos to the already frantic bass and grooves. the main heart to his puppy is banged home half way through of its unnatural life were it warps from chilled pads to a nodders delight. dvk and cooh have started the fire and will be back to fuel it very soon!

yes, hes back with a huge follow up, after his first impress he left with down. his decision to work with the wonderful and unique voice of soniamiki was just magnificient. marlon krupa is well known in the minimal techno szene because of his digital releases, which always climed the highest positions in digital download charts. its high time to introduce him to the friends of vinyl. with his minimal remix, he will impress! at least, racso and jenn pushed the original in their different kind of styles and generate at all, a record with a high variety of sound and styles. taste the full-bodied flavour of the night!

the chaps at off-key hq have been busy digging out the old dat tapes from their attic and sorting out the wheat from the chaff. for this release they go way back to bring you four more tracks courtesy of kimble, a collaboration between matt o brien and matt gates (aka minor planets). kicking things off is the beatless sketch of >lycius<, spiky alien synths flicker and pierce through detached ethereal pads moving in the surrounding weightless space. next up is the ep s lynchpin track, >state of shock<. proper techno is the order of the day here, this is an authentic old school minimal track first recorded in 1996 but left gathering dust ever since. immerse yourself in the subtle dub inflected melodies swirling in your womb bubble while the slamming rhythm track provides the heartbeat. over on the flip we chill things out with the haunting strings and aquatic bassline of >amb<, providing a delicate counterpoint to the upfront style of the a side. the ep is completed with a stunning remix of >state of shock< by minor planets, who layer on a towering bassline and transform the original into a laid back dub workout.

hot minimalism & electronica with the rip-off artist

diamond series volume 2 has two a sides classics reworked into 2008 killers by two of d&bs leading dancefloor producers. twisted individual skanks out tear the roof off with bassline carnage and a bouncing funk groove. from the 36th chamber dj vapour remixes tabletop adding his unmistakable bass grime and deep textures.

berghain sure shot! the dynamic techno duo nagano kitchen has unleashed this deep ultra efficient track which simply showcases their commitment to consistency and versatility. >omie< is a beautiful minimal techno track that fills a gap in this recently overlooked musical genre. this debut production from dj gabriel chong will lay the foundation for this bourgeoning talents career who for years has been the premier techno dj in kuala lumpur, malaysia. the track is a fine example of apotek records commitment to a universal approach in search of the perfect beat!

off-key limited is a new subsidiary label of off-key industries whose aim is to give exposure to new artists alongside established producers and to bring a wider range of genres with less of a focus on the dancefloor. each release will be strictly limited and will not be repressed. we start by raiding the off-key vaults to unleash a series of releases entitled >the dust off<, featuring material written in the off-key studio over the years by matt o brien and various collaborators and associates. matt kicks off the ep with >a new page turns<, a bangin dubby detroit techhouse cut driven by a low slung rhythm and analog stabs dripping in reverb, overlayed with a melodica riff which calls to mind the smokey refrains of augustus pablo. next up is >untitled< by newcomer mat gates, a beatless slice of electronica whose understated melodies conjure up thoughts of late summer evenings of times gone by. on the flip, o brien and gates combine under the artist name kimble to bring you >epiphany<, led by a shimmering melody underpinned with haunting strings which combine to form an electro track of rare beauty. this diverse ep is completed with mat gates second contribution, >in a hole<, a drum n bass track with a disjointed, skeletal rhythm, sub bass drops and fragile, melancholy melody.

off the wall is a guitar driven rocker with cool beastie boys like vocals, flip over for the dubbed out nicotine.
