reinventing the word dj, insideamind is the leading force in turntable music performance. knowing no limits, innovators steptone & professor fingers raise the bar high with their natural showmanship. spellbinding soundtracks, head snapping breaks, tears, laughter, and magic make up their acrobatic, high energy onstage flow. blowing away audiences not just with clever samples, but an onslaught of layered beats, big bass, and sudden switches to live improvised remixes that pull crowds deep into their world. the tiniest spy is insideamind?s first vinyl single, the title track features the exquisite vocals of laura barrett from paper bag records, over the furious drum beats, scratches and soundscapes created by steptone and professor fingers. a matter of time takes you a head nodding hip hop feel, featuring a daunting techno style remix by murr (from lal) and old school hip hop remix by toronto?s circle research crew (a recent signing to melting pot music).

this is quite simply one of the most glorious records you will hear this year. it would be easy to lazily reference it against classic period rephlex/planet mu stuff (oops, i just did!), and indeed it appears to share some of the same heritage (even going so far as to feature a remix of rephlex artist global goon in its tracklisting) - but chris leary aka ochre is obviously a man on his own mission. gorgeously lush, but at the same time super-funky…as electronic as kraftwerk starring in a remake of tron, yet somehow as pastoral and organic as edward elgar…much like his label-mate ed chamberlain, leary manages that tricky task of being supremely technical in his programming and arrangements, but without losing the heart and soul of the music amidst all the studio trickery. you know that old chestnut often said when referring to vintage or classic music, >they dont make them like that any more<? well they do…and here it is! simply fantastic.

rave & tribal influenced harder old school techno three tracker.. ltd backstock

another serious result from our warehouse rummaging! si begg is a man of many musical personalities, his list of aliases is impressive to say the least (bigfoot, buckfunk3000, lenny logan, s.i. futures, zygmunt janowski...). but one of his oldest, and certainly one of his strangest, is cabbage boy. in fact i confess i am old enough to remember his releases in the early 90s on cassette tape under the umbrella of the >cabbage head collective< (which also included such techno notables as cristian vogel & tim wright) - and pretty mental they were too. the lost tapes vol. 1 doesnt disappoint on that front, containing such gems as a remix of 80s pop mysteries frank chickens>we are ninja<, and an electronic cover version of >king kong< by frank zappa (ask your parents...). totally out there, but totally cool at the same time...highly recommended to anyone looking for something with some real personality amidst the hard-drives full of faceless (and usually nameless) digital fluff

supported by m-nus crew, onur ozer, marco carola, karotte, nick curly, anthony collins, x-pansul, matt star, sebastian roya, alexy delano, dave ellesmere… if the original ‘burning the midnight oil’ was already a blast in all minimal tech dance floors, the remix records arrives with a new twist to keep the discos moving. soulrack & mikel_e present a fresh groovy track full of voice lines that’ll go directly to a packed dance floor. seph moves around darker and more hypnotic territories with a continuous loop while fabrizio maurizi dives deep into old school, with some broken beats, distorted voices and numerous bleeps & clicks. a collection of hits that’ll make the night vibrate. long life martinez!

another slammin piece of ultra hard tec..

this is the second part in the three-part series >join the resistance< by 22 year old tim toh and another proof for this young producers huge talent and unique character! >three< on the a-side is a masterpiece of discoesque harmonies going nuts, a lovely string topping and a sparse but effective rhythm…the sweetest piece of house music we ever released?!!…most definetly! >four< on the flip is a funked up track covered in charming synthlines that almost sound like natural ochestral instrumentation, with their woodwind-like charakters. great tension in the arrangement again! >five< is the most likely house track on this 12inch, deep chords top a heavy shufflin rhythm… timeless matter! thanks for purchasing a real copy

killer release from blackjoy. pure old skool house like they dont do anymore... perfect blend between the old and the new with a real eye for the floor. plain and simple: we love it !!!! hand writen numbered limited pressing of 300. no more, no repress.

there is certainly not enough space to tell you all the great things about move d we would love to share with you. being the musical mind behind the legendary source records imprint, david moufang has always been a versatile and prolific character. from ambient soundscapes to krautrocky epics, jazz sensibilities or straight up techno and house, he has done it all with his own special and unique touch. this lovely fingerprint is spread all over the “cube ep . intended as a tribute to heidelberg’s finest club night of the same name (don’t mix it up with that other square project!) , move d shots two arrows straight into your heart. “cube” is one of those stripped down hypnotic affairs that seem to go on forever and ever just to surprise you with a nice breakdown, before it’s groove sucks you in again. we guess this is what people mean, if they talk about the beauty of simplicity. “heidelberg gals” flips the script in three parts with an old school approach and turns into a monolithic house monster with a bassline to boot. panache! bust a move d!

this time contributions come from australia, the old europe, the usa…, from all over really. some of the featured artists are signed and glorious, others are virtually unknown and live in bedsits. some will release their future albums on kitsune and others already have a&rs in search of the next big thing biting their nails.

this ep is a mix of old house, acid, new beat with the new sound master technics. its really good for big sound system!!!

after the success of the beautiful and sultry ‚move with me‘ on poker flat 97, alongside patrick chardronnet‘s blissfully deep ‚days like these‘, david durango is back with three mesmerising tracks on dessous. like a dark, empty night made warm by the pure, reviving light of day, ‚striptease‘ is an epic tale of love and resolution. skipping, light percussion flourishes are joined by memorable chord phases that wash through and over the senses. a tender and sincere detroit style breakdown is then skillfully danced out with teasing, climactic moments of tension. ‚human‘ is by comparison a lighter journey, as durango trusts his rhythmic instincts and pulls out some fresh and airy hypnotising synth stutters and a rich palette of spacious percussion. neo-chicago stlye, ‚japanese revenge‘ is a faster paced deep-down groover that works chugging organ stabs and jacking beats along with glorious room-filling bending synth glides. it‘s a versatile track that sums up durango‘s unmistakable talent for creating an atmosphere and a celebratory, old-school vs new school vibe. durango‘s skilled, un-rushed style is the key here, and leads to three very unique dancefloor excursions, each with their own directions, moods and tingling electronic atmospheres.

panthers used to play aggressive post hardcore before their style morphed into a somewhat sober version of anthemic stoner rock. they released albums on both troubleman and vice records. goblin city is the lead track from their second record, the trick. holy ghost! requested to work on goblin city. they then delivered one of the most relentlessly snappy disco dubs in quite some time. panthers also asked run roc to do a mix of the song and he came up with an excellent old school acid house version. this single is a true dfa family affair, bringing together good friends, musicians, and creative allies from the past and for the future. family reunions are not supposed to be this much fun.

old school detroit berlin dub techno by kai lohberger & jörg ehlert / incl double x remix (alexander kowalski & torsten litschko)

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …

charts and big support from: richie hawtin (excellent release), dave clarke (full support), nic fanciulli (big big big), dubfire (this is wicked! rich hot teen tune has been my biggest all weekend), chris liebing, slam (excellent wicked tunes, on top of my charts) xpansul, deetron ( vapors rocks, brings the old days back to mind).... tip !!! even in berlins inexhaustable club scene few musicians developed an operational experience like savas pascalidis: he has been a dj for near twenty years and a producers for about ten years. having released two albums and a series of eps on a couple of a-list-labels, vapor is pascalidis first release on figure. being a specialist in demanding and sepulchral techno sounds, pascalidis tracks fit in seamlessly with the previous records on figure. vapor is a thirteen-minute-long techno epic. an ever-changing acid line coils through the track, keeping the listeners in a firm grip. rich hot teen combines an smart, slim groove with the kind of hook line which ignites excitement and surprise on the faces of the dancers. with its distorted feeling, the online-exclusive low has a rough, provocative attitude

dirty 80s synth sounds combined with banging 4 on the floor beats make his second release on his label imprint, vibenotic records. this is an instant party starter, retro - futuristic synth basses and chords, backed by tr808-909 drum programming, evolving into the raw elements of early chicago house and detroit techno. this is a warehouse find! limited copies left. this release came out last year, unoticed and under the radar. expect a new release from imprint soon!

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! after his last release on hello?repeat, cabanne is back to make the room and refill the minibar. one year of sailing from bar to bar helped him to distill new unexpected liquors. jesse garonne is an absinthe mix, while f.key would be some good old rhum… the flavor is stupendous and unusual at first but effect is guaranteed, hot dose of deep groove >à ma facon< that brings a crazy, jazzy hot spirit which lifts of the tunes to the insane! it includes a great rmx from john thomas and his wife barbara. a great opportunity, after releasing >funky time< on the milkshake compilation, to bring minibarians a new dose of strong funkster. the hatched sounds and voice brings perfectly the groove…

kindisch is now eighteen releases old, and its mission - to uncover new talent, and to provide a platform for producers to evolve and experiment - is more passionate than ever. this time, the reins are handed to sascha braemer, aka hirtenfellner, and philip bader, who build on the promise of their releases on sup dub and get physical. >mamba drums< is, as its name suggests, a percussive, latin-tinged affair, with sweeping builds and heavy drops, layer upon layer of locomotive percussion and a skeletal four-note vamp designed to whip the listener into a state of frenzy (and sure to be successful in this aim!). a male vocal sample pervades on >thrill<, this time more gruff, more laconic, and edited so that the words become another percussive element rather than carriers of meaning. deep whirlpools of delay open up below a surface drift of jazz-tinged chords, from a minimalist sound palette bader and braemer paint a vastly evocative, effusive picture that will transport the listener, or dancefloor, to a strange and addictive place. >put your arms around me<, implores the soul-infused vocal sample on b >around<, over a yawning vista of synth chords bridged with sibiliant snares and subtle but earth-moving edits that leave no doubt as to braemer and baders mastery of dancefloor dynamics.

bringing detroit pads, old school bass synths and minimal beats together for his debut single antiquated ep. upfirst on remix duties is label owner ignition technician, with a bass driven electro techno work out that has all the bases covered. wilko did the mix in the style of his new project androids. for the first time in four years the original line up of ignition technician aka wilko and pete simpson are back together but this time they have added their best friend paul walker to the line up to create a new band androids

the flame recordings is proud to announce heimat 35! this is the name of the new ep from the top italian dj and producer andrea fiorito, a lot of experience on stage mixed with a touch of class like few artists untill now. in this work he puted together his passion for swing music from 1920-1940s with a super house groove. the result is something he likes to call swinging cabaret house in the a side. about b1 side andrea fiorito likes to play with some chicago old school techno elements and jazz organs mixed with strong native percussions. b2 imagine to make a trip in america latina, some strong cuban influences together with funk bassline to let you dance when the sun is shining!

a decade usually consists of ten pieces, years or days. the decade of techno comprises of 10 releases made by 9 carefully selected producers who shaped the last ten years of techno with their unique sounds. looking back at the last 10 years, techno made a thoroughly multifaceted development. new styles developed out of the old ones, never losing sight of the main principle. this development will be reflected on the decade of techno series, whereas label owner kaoz attached importance to account for every facet of techno.
