this one really got the soul. a superb four tracker that reminds us to the good old chicago house times. a must have for those who know

new release for the fresh label of gaetano parisio: adagiomusik. regolar bites the translation for >attimi regolari< is the expression for the flux of life and mind. the 3 tracks have in common the artists peculiar style. gomma is a joint of sounds on a basic dark mood, attimi regolari is the perfect mix of the new trend and the old southsoul style based on a bass line in touch with parisio old productions, esperienza is the track for more confident and refined set!

bass heavy music… legendary tyree cooper bangs out 4 tracky treats sprinkled with old soul and disco …one time 300 unit repress only !

dj support : matthias kaden, jimpster, italoboyz, karotte, tom clark & amongst others !! a 4 tracker this time called >nautical dawn<, theodors square basses are groovy as hell and as usual the swing notch is turned all the way to 16.e j!!! pieces of short and abstract vocal samples appear here and there and some fantastic jazzy sounding melodies played by old instruments like this pseudo vibraphone-guitar on the strong first track called jazzphysics or this 70s wha-pedal arabic strings on nautical dawn. theodor expands his horizon by developing a new genre that we could name something like >smart minimal melodic dry ass funk<?!? so if you like bouncing beats and want to experience serious booty shaking while you play that piece, then this record is >sans aucun doute<

earlier this year, todd sines inaugurated yore with the slamming techno-funk of the .xtrak release back_up ep and now returns for round two with dont stop. without losing the stripped-down, minimal tech-house funk essence of the .xtrak sound, sines ups the acid-house ante considerably in the new material. the old-school title cut makes an immediately vivid impression by repeating the insistent vocal hook >dont stop<-both command and mantra-over a towering backbeat. >cut to the chase< does exactly that with funky handclaps and syncopated swing, while the b-sides low-riding >unreflect< pairs dropouts and bass-crawling boogie. slightly different in character, the squiggly acid-techno track >quantum mechanics< is as precision-tooled as its title suggests. despite the subtle shift in stylistic emphasis, dont stop offers a splendid complement to the earlier release

turn around is a pure deep underground house track in vein of old chicago house records, flipside with more dark hypnotic 2008 techhouse flavour by cassy. just a masterpiece

old skool rave style breakbeat with anthemic piano breakdown & female vocals

with that old speed garage alarm and strings that will make you think of the rough early days of drum n bass, this smashing remix surely makes for a massive dancefloor hit! cut up, re paste and break it down! new york based japanese producer yellowtail, formally known as hiro awanohara, hits us up with his debut release on the raw fusion label. and what a debut its got all those little finesses we like, raw, dirty, cut and paste beats with deep and sawed up bass lines. but not only that, we also get a fresh rhyme (caribbean style!) by uk based mc juakali to make us get jump up on it! and folks, this is just the flipside?on the a side of the vinyl release we get to go back in time, michael j fox style! its like something taken out of an old dark and dirty garage club in london back in the mid 90?s when yellowtail remixes his own original grunt with this ripgroove like 4/4 production.

for number 29 on his pickadoll label john dahlbaeck engaged his old buddies dada life to lay down another neotrance epic club monster. the first remix comes from david west alongside swedens house beauty ida engberg. the second mix on b2 comes from the man who invented the h-bomb, style of eye.

excellent driven & funky old school flavoured techno three tracker !! b1 produced in collaboration with ignition technician

>jurassico< is the third release from nemesi a.k.a. gianluca pandullo of i-robots and ebbro fame and alessandro lestino. on the epic nine minute ‘jurassico’, nemsi elements of krautrock, 70’s german electronica, old school italo-electro and the darker side of 80’s rock to come up with something seriously cosmic. prins thomas b-side version probes and emphasises the more rhythmic elements of the track which results in a real disco banger.

limited edition upfront promo copies...not only touch your mind is the first production but also is the first track licensed on a label for jeff di feno and jyack alls, two 24 years old producers living in paris. in addition to the original dub version that is a massive dance floor track, karine adds lyrics and transforms this track into a massive radio tune! arias, muttonheads and tristan garner cannot wait to remix this track using their personal touch!

long time activist on the french electronic scene, léonard de léonard is back after two critically acclaimed albums, successful collabs (his duo with maxx aka mcuhoh from the goats was a rated as one of 2006 best french live acts) and a departure to berlin. part of the ekler o shock roster (data, danger, terry poison), léo is a talented producer whose influences vary from classic techno and old school hip hop to all the modern forms of digital grooves & ghetto musics. now back with an ep dedicated to the dancefloors, in the form of a tribute to horror cult movies, léo asked his new berlin friends chris de luca (ex. funkstorung) and phon.o (shitkatapult), and paris rising kids donovan to remix his single. the result is here, catchy as a scream, hot as hell!

next hypnotical gel abril two tracker !! on the a-side, >200 grams< cannot be the weight of this heavily bouncing and hypnotizing tune. with a distinctive quirky line and a heavily bouncing groove like we are used from gel abril, “200 grams” keeps you moving all the way up to the main break, and then takin you back into the dubby old school groove. if the a-side was freaky and bouncing, well the ep title-track >your face is a mess< on the b-side can only be descibed as a dirty mindblowing minimal/tech house track with a druggy vocal all over and a very stripped down synth line

okain, 23 years old dj from paris has released his first digital record as a solo artist on robotronic records last september which got support by artist such as chloé, locodice, djulz, francesco farfa… a bunch of secrets ep include 3 tracks with okains contemporary vision of the oldschool house music. using deep house synth and hip house vocal gimmicks okain creates his unique style. all tracks are suited for the dancefloors and will bring a fresh vibe to your house, techno or minimal sets!

hollands rising production talent raul moros aka simon van kesteren aka soul conspiracy is no stranger to the soulfuric trax stable. following his well received debut release on the label amazonica, he now he returns with a brand new offering to set the floors alight. with back 2 basics and way back when, moros delivers two energetic cuts that combine old school inspired sounds with modern flavas to full effect. a pumping bassline and driving, melodic synths give back 2 basics its spice while its all about the bouncy rhythms and piano riffs on way back when. for those who want to go a touch deeper, check out the way back when d reflection dub mix. rounding off this solid package is the back 2 basics synth tool.

dimi angélis & jeroen search. both artists are among the few internationally acclaimed techno artists from the netherlands. their dj activity and production work reaches back into the early nineties. >the new frontier< melds the firmness and determination of old school techno with a contemporary subtlety. it is amazing how few elements jereon search and dimi angélis need to create a dense and compelling athmosphere. >lunar< is the kind of track that slips perfectly in a wide range of club sets. while it offers the dj a vast span of possible connections to other music, its hypnotic melody does not leave your head for hours. >jupiter< is bolder, it is centered around a demanding groove. while the melodies operate in the background of the track, the complex net of rhythmic patterns shifts indistinguishably. it is the type of music which holds you in a tight grip - and you are not even able to tell what exactly is so striking about it. its implicitness makes >the new frontier< such a special record. it belongs to the rare breed of music which does not demand to go into your box - and this is exactly why it is made to stay there for quite some time

here it is, and its damn good: the first full length album from apoll called >memorize the phonics<! released on his new imprint neopren, >memorize the phonics< is a 12-track strong journey through apolls musical roots and styles: tech-house, minimal, old school, lounge and more! looking for the perfect groove? apolls got it! and he prooves it on this longplayer, as well as he did on his countless releases on labels like sub-static, morris audio, sthlm audio or punkt music - not forgetting his mighty tongut label

next strike from rising star pedro delgardo !! >illusion< is a mind blowing track sure to please djs & dancers alike. the 2 track b side feat. the underground track >infectious<, a stormtrooping track featured on a carl coxs dj magazine mix cd which pulsates with an infectious synth riff & jamming groove, while struggle, has a touch of old school club flavor throughout each dope groove. djs heavily spreading the delgardo vibe(s) carl cox, eddie halliwell, tiesto, paul van dyk, james zabiela, sander van doorn, marco v, dj misjah, ferry corsten, anne savage, trevor rockliffe, umek, valentino kanzyani, sasha, mistress barbara, kevin saunderson, judge jules and marco bailey to name a few.

from the four corners of the globe (sort of) comes a collection of some of the hottest club bangers 130bpm has ever seen. first up is dangerous in the 80s from kid who (brixton) who managers to unite the strange pairing of calvin harris and busta rhymes to make an old school electro tinged post classic combination. t wrecks (toronto) is next out the box with stabs, cut ups and the think break that turns timbalands tune into a baltimore anthem. estaw (amsterdam) takes the hip hop anthem of all hip hop anthems, breaks it down, builds it up, bobs, weaves, throws a right hook, throws some ds on it and throws the dance into a frenzy. last but not least, jim sharp (london / toronto) re animates talib kwelis ode to the fairer sex into a fidgety, bumpy, electro slab of sound that makes feminine undergarments moist.

excellent electro (pop) tune. rework of an old german new wave (ndw) nichts tune!

finest minimal tech!! back with a new strong number 02! gs remains true to oneself and unites old friends: laurent bovey (laps, digitaline), gregory poncet (gregorythme, digitaline) and georg bleikolm (knor) spent their wild youth in lausanne. music always pushed them forward and now their ways crossed in zurich again.

after the hugely popular conf006 (inc bitch fuck) comfortable records returns with three choice underground cuts. 76-79 (aka label owners vigo & tomski) show they are adept at creating 3 totally fresh and edgy house cuts that will appeal to a minimal or tech house floor. however if house/minimal is not energetic enough for you, check >six ten< for a record that llies halfway between techno & house & is layered with some very nice old school sounds. this ep really breaks the mold!! in the past when these artists have released tracks they have had a massive amount of praise from the likes of laurent garnier, rob mello, mr scruff, charles webster & fabrice lig. this release is a prime example of why they deserve such high merits & is destined to becoming just at large as comf006

for the 19th clr release we welcome alex bau, an old acquaintance who delivers two perfect peak time, little bit minus flavoured minimal techno weapons

this time hertz is back with a funk fuelled energy bomb that balance in between an old school vibe ala 1998 and a fresh approach for 2008. expected support from a wide range of djs. on the filp you will find a track with a repetitive acid-sounding bassline but without the 303. this is rather a fresh synth that gets the tweeking. on the b2, you find a pierre j remix that takes care of the house-ier sounds

excellent jackin and tribaling electro tech trax.. old school influences

here it is, and its damn good: the first full length album from apoll called >memorize the phonics<! released on his new imprint neopren, >memorize the phonics< is a 12-track strong journey through apolls musical roots and styles: tech-house, minimal, old school, lounge and more! looking for the perfect groove? apolls got it! and he prooves it on this longplayer, as well as he did on his countless releases on labels like sub-static, morris audio, sthlm audio or punkt music - not forgetting his mighty tongut label.

dario zenkers new label !! ralph sliwinski is allready known from his releases on labels like below, morris audio or hartchef discos and surely for a good reason. he is one of the producers who have their own unique style which is recognizable directly. analog old school sounding beats fat as the women of the us mc donalds promotion campaign. this ep is smoove,dubby,crispy,housy,gay, played by usher and all other westcoast rappers around…

after their track on the datapunk compilation various punks come here the follow up 3 tracker on kritik. >ghost in the street< is an uplifting effects-monster, in the tradition of the old dj t records. >lowtecs workshop remix< will melt the hearts of c craig fans. he’s scooping the market with his new label workshop and will do it with this one too. finally, >bubble< once again rocked it hard! come in lisbon.

new kanadas adam marshall delivers a stunning peak-hour track with obvious inspiration from old school detroit techno and classik chicago house. >kokane< begins as a tightly wound minimal house groove with precise, pounding percussion and heavily swung jack. after the 3:30 mark the track gives way glistening synth chords which shine through the darkness transporting the cut into carl craig-ish jazz territory. on the flip, montreals ernesto ferreyra mutek, cynosure brings a south american flavour to the remix and takes the dancefloor oddessy deep into the chilean canyons. a late night mixing tool for the djs. lastly, we find the outro called >moonlight chills< on the second cut of side b. ambient and lush, this one is for the late night detroit highways. mojo and the darkness along i75! a deep ending to a very personal journey.

legowelt comes with an amazing disco/chicago/detroit hybride track. on the flip side nice retro sounding tracks by orgue electronique (on a string) and gibson fowler (house galore).. 2 old school chicago tracks for the aficionados of that sound. great job of legowelt and orgue electronique!

soulful funky little house number. includes dj leeski and stu foster mixes.

peter introduces himself like this, >ive started making music with an oric-1 home computer in the middle of the 80ties, later the commodore amiga was the flagship and then....the casio fz1 and now i use the galaxy of software and the korg mx1, roland tr727, roland jx8p, korg ms20, yamaha tg33, yamaha dx7 so i guess that it makes things clear, peter is one of these producers that uses older analogue machines along more recent software gears. and you can sure hear it in its productions, it sounds huge, powerful while style wise keeping things on to the soul filled part of the dance floor. peter delights us here with two stunning tracks that contain modern beats structures echoing rather old school house patterns and hooks. as always with peters incredible music, originality, surprises and ingeniosity are 100% at the rendezvous

incl. jay tripwire remix !! debut of stockholm based duo groovenauts alongside veteran charlie king in >brighter days<. together they have fought to maintain the original underground feeling of house music! on remix duty west coast veteran jay tripwire continues in a rich vein of form after releasing his album >gemini soul< on the impressive nordic trax! jay is culled in to provide a tripped out space workout providing us with a deep vocal and dub which makes us reminisce of them old herbi analgoe sounds!

known as one of the leading booty turntablist djs outside of detroit, dj guy formerly released wax and djed as one half of londons non stop djs. his previous releases have been given #1 spot charting by dave clarke, received global radio play, and received quotes such as >the best record released in 2006 and ill say in the past 2 years< (dj koyote - diamond grills, paris). global fire is a new label for 2007, dedicated to releasing a spread of the best in club music. style-wise, the label will cover detroit ghettotech, baltimore club, chicago juke and more, with releases by a wide variety of artists both firmly established and previously unknown. the ep opens with >bucked up<, an all-new booty version of young bucks >get buck<, the remix keeps the outrageously thuggy bassline and vocals from the original, and adds some cracking booty drums. >who wanna< starts like a dj tool with shades of steve poindexters >work that mutha fucker<, and turns into a full on ghettotech track with vocals to match and a big old growly bassline that builds throughout. >the raw< is a thumpy dancefloor workout that starts dumb, and gets dumberer when the wonky synth comes in. >the runner<: heavy on the melody, beatboxy beats, sweepy organ, phasey strings, cheeky bassline, and previously heard being used to great effect on the paris goon & koyotes classic diamond grills mix cd, and more recently on detroits dj godfathers serato presents dj godfather: for the freaks, the first ever serato-commissioned dj mix. last but by no means least, >big pussy< comes with a stupid funky bassline, warped bass, electro sounds, and vocals about a big cat. with big titties

coming up with a mixture of drumfunk elements, dubstep vibes and old school sounds, martsman is the new kid on the block that will prove you wrong if you thought youve heard it all in drum & bass. >kontamin< is a journey back to the good old days when jungle didnt have the obligation for constant climax that is found in most drum & bass tunes today

kontra-musik 006 moves the label into the analog domain of electronic dance music. this kind of sound you only get with the good old analogues. the a-side, produced by the master of the modular system, pseudonym scaff, takes us deep down our favorite techno memory lane. if techno was the meeting of kraftwerk and george clinton in an elevator, ssm 440 is the outcome of jeff mills and maurizio having breakfast at tiffanys. this track is warm, dubby and monotonous but with a drive heading straight for the late night dance floor. the b-side gives us two unique sounding tracks from pseudonym aparatus. city tunnel slowly and elegantly grinds, cranks and turns while building its way towards dance floor bliss. x-presso is best described as periodic fluctuations of voltages in the analog domain. elegant details of beautiful sound take us back to the time when minimal music still was interesting. this is >techno< in the sense that the term was originally intended. enjoy cause analog is the bastard

don cash is the canadian electronic hip hop wunderkind with the liquid flow, who caught the attention of the underground with his disco wreck 12inch on headman. his second treat in new-wave rap called 2k7 is straight old-school production with heavily snythesized basslines and crunchy 8-bit rhythms. additionally zongamin have given >hey there< a funky, bouncy treatment, while on the flip kitsune raising stars punks jump up deliver a rejuvenated version of disco wrec

with tuomas salmela aka phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish techno and house producers, with releases on 2020 vision, poker flat, moodmusic or f-com-munications. salmelas sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. he does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks n cuts or doing too much sound research. phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that dont need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. similarly to guy gerber, phonogenics productions also are somewhere in between techno and houseand even use elements of trance. however, salmelas productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody

moton returns with two killer disco joints, delivering a spacey edit of the 1980 paradise garage classic billy who, on the flip the edit of micheles 1977 classic cant you feel it, originally released on west end records, pure disco glory. loved and revered by many a dj, moton is a sexy and elusive little eclectic beast, that dropped its 1st 12 inch back 12 years ago in the big apple with dj harvey at the helm on the 1st 2 releases. first off was east then came the massive northbeach. those 12iches & 20 others are now going for big money and are long gone, but after much nice begging & pleading the boys have decided to return & give you a big dose of what you have been missing! killer underground old skool disco, acidhouse and tasty breaks, re served with some tasty tight re edits. long live moton!
