>miscalate< starts off as a smooth, deep house record but quickly chooses a darker path and a big rumbling bassline takes over with sharp electronics following closely behind. as with all the production work of audiofly and paul harris, its the interesting structure and musical side of the track that really makes it stands out. partial arts, a new project from ewan pearson and al usher, take control and not just remix but remake the track! theyve delivered something rather special. a very unique, different and exciting production that will surely be turning heads and pricking the ears of many

almost twelve months after delivering the gastronomic delight that was sugar slow, foundation man gerry o rourke returns with the astrologically astounding gemini ep a joint tribute to adam goldstone and simon freaked brant both of whom sadly left this planet last year. appropriately enough, we kick things off with a track cunningly entitled on an esoteric, minimal techno/house joint with shades of dubstep adding to the slightly ominous feel. we then lift the mood slightly for the quirky, retro, synth heavy techno inspired house of the title track, before bringing things bang up to date with the furiously futuristic rapid recal, and then rounding things off with the veritably funky raze dilemma. a worthy homage and another fine package from the foundation camp

big with: damian lazarus, kiki, jimpster, ripperton, p.toile, m.monday daso franke, a fellow well known not only for his fantastic releases on mbf and connaisseur, but also for his furious live-sets, sets out to bring the noise again. after having been inspired by the nerdy world of old-schoolish adventure games for his last release, he uses the dissolute world of absinthe as an afflatus this time. he takes us to a land where alluring little green fairies buzz around and people cut their ears off under absinthe’s massively woozy influence. thujon: the impact of well-made absinthe depends on its concentration of thujon. it can best be described as a kind of heightened clarity of mind and vision. and this is what this track is all about - 100% thujon! louche is the name of the cloudy effect you achieve by adding water to spirits, which contain anise, like absinthe does. this track starts with a low-key groove, which forces up to a mental dance affaire, including a genuine rocking daso-esque break

dj support : jennifer cardini, shinedoe, tobi neumann!! 8bit rojo on side a is a hard dirty groover. starting off as a straight up jacker that over a three minute progression turns into a heavy peak time cut. with a low rez processing throughout the percussion and overdriven subs the name of the game of this track is dirtyness. bouncing underneath the dirt is a slick gliding bass line that slides down from 100hz to 40hz. sure to work the dancefloor from peak time to down time. the b side red tide is a deep headstrong slow builder that elevates like an induced acid frenzy. massive funky techno

style of eye aka linus eklöw always saves his best work for tiny sticks. previous releases have come on the legendary classic recordings, mouthful, doubledown records, sugarcane and eye industries. following the success of his bigger sounding releases, hes back with a more stripped down, underground selection. rockett evolves around a very funky groove, a track with a lot of swing, it has all the hallmarks of a massive tune. sounding similar to john dahlback s huggotron style, a huge distorted electro riff takes over and drives it higher and higher. rockett comes with a dub version too. l.d.r. starts off with a bit more subtlety than rockett. starting with a lovely bouncy shuffling groove and expanding spacey keys and then getting more and more pumping as it goes on with giant drum rolls and shouty vox. another big one for the underground heads

a stunning 3 track ep. >enter the night< provides a very funky vibe. with minimal feel, typified in cuts (yeah, shake a leg!), this records kicks off with a house rhythm before a bristling bass really starts driving the piece along. a smoke filled voice soon comes in, throwing the listener off talking about nights and exits or no exits while the track >no exits< on b2 is a fine and dark mixture of crisp beats and glitchy percussion to create a forceful groove as spluttery synth stabs keep up the incessant pressure. cuts of mazi s vocal twist things just that bit more evil as the house edged mood continues its push further into new depths of mayhem. the driving melody in >sarabbath< on b1 is quite a head-turner and should create a stir in the clubs, using the more minimal and melody side of this great 12inch

with their interpretation of i see a different you jan krause and michael mettke, better known as beanfield, give us an other fine example of their definition of soulful electronics which will keep the dancefloor packed! on the b side we see a different remix (harhar) of the same song, this time rearrranged by the promising production duo innocent sorcerers out of warsaw, making a name for themselves with their releases on raw fusion. attention the innocent sorcerers remix of i see a different you is nominated the best track at gilles petersons 2006 awards.the final cut is alif trees shakin the angels remix of come to me and everyone who is expecting abstract jazzy beats like on his album french cuisin is off the beaten track. le chef du cuisine is cooking up koop techno styleee as he did previously for his also well appreciated felix laband mix.

support by chloe & jennifer cardini !! actually, a tragic fact that the two label owners of sub static never enriched the own catalogue with a cooperation, but then again, there was no time, passion, and maybe also the right tracks hadn t come yet. now we found them, the ideal components, and thus this split- ep succeeds to involve both sides of the same medallion in an extremely animated conversation, which also the party benefits from. a real brocksieper starts off the record, with that slinky, permanent groove which everyone likes to ride on, as it s making you look well on the floors which signify the world. then the flipside laxly continues where just hopped, speak: a little bell rings, the beats pose, the shiny side always in the floodlight. however, the mood changes - functionality mutates to emotiveness, the music floats differently. this can only be m.i.a., who still disassembles sounds with never known precision, gets ideas in order, simply generates funk. so the tone is given for the next techno season, thanks for that
