dj dealer & lisa millett team up for dancefloor mayhem! youre all i need the anthemic 1st single from the dj dealer joyride album now is unleashed with a full set of mixes. the main mix has had major support in the clubs since wmc and now we are proud to present the entire package. lisa millett destroys the ashford & simpson tune as only she can and with productions/remixes from dj dealer, staffan thorsell & mod, joe dipadova & shea marshall, charles dockins, tony loreto and madueno we are sure you will enjoy this song for many months to come!

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 …

entertainment is a duo. im a cliché is proud to release their very first e.p on september 29th. juan de guillebon is the bass player. he studied a lot jaco pastorius, but decided not to spend the rest of his life playing in jazz rock combos. you can easily guess his attraction to no wave bands (suicide or james chance), krautrock (his faves are cluster), or ebm and early electro (daf). alongside, hes part of the ectoplasmic band, performing as backing band for tigersushis boss joakim. antoine montgaudon plays the guitar, and we bet he would have fit perfectly in any brian enos late 70s recording. he builds endless psychedelic atmospheres with feedbacks, loops and fxs. all this only with his guitar. hes also part of my sister klaus, a project released on tigersushi (again).

its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

i get deep, i get deep, i get deeper. that should actually read he gets deep. dj roland clark, that is one of the rulers of the sermonizing vocal, roland steps up to the pulpit once again with his latest release, black in my soul, on king street. this man not only has black in his soul but also an excellent sense of humor, including the ability to work it into his productions, and thats something we all have time to appreciate. swedish producer extraordinaire tiger stripes pumps us full of his dark fuel creating an intricate, nicely rhythmic and dancefloor dramatic track. his dub vox retains its deep and dark stature but twist synths rolands voice into a fiendish narrator. west coast producer david hernandez funkifies this tune on his deep west mix but keeps the deepness well intact. say it loud and dance proud!

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart

over the past few months i have been closely watching the american presidential race. although i am canadian i have been inspired by the words of barack obama, so much so that i wanted to produce a release to show my support for his campaign. i believe when he becomes the next president of the united states he will not only change the country for the better, but will help unite the entire world. his perfect union speech lead me to the computer one afternoon and i hope you enjoy playing this release as much as i did producing it. believe in change. yes we can. - christian alvarez

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! cynosure is proud to present the debut ep of one of italys finest house and techno djs, andrea fiorito. hailing from the southern city of bari, andrea brings new warmth to the otherwise ice cold italian house sound and delivers a timeless deep house original. things commence on >moderato mistico< with a subtle tribute to a close a friend that has some serious issues with partying called >boti world<. a stripped down minimal house groove with several different monster bass hooks. a killer bumping, grinding, walking bassline that heats the floor with every change up. but as we all know this is not enough to really push things to the limit, so andrea answers the call and brings the furry with givan on the sax. imagine that moment where things in your night boil over the edge and you begin to loose control. thats when givans post punk style sax attack begins to push things past the threshold of insanity. next we have the lovely >betty loop< feat the sensual voice amelia saul. a layer of percussion a la spring reverb set the pace leading into some piano chords and a giant bass hook that make up the foundation of the groove, laying the sonic rose pedals down for amelias presence to be heard. with a voice sweeter than honey and some twisted lyrics, she creates a sexy yet warped feeling in this track. and of course if the vocals were too much, you can play the dub version >betty goes to gio< and mix your heart out. with >moderato mystico< andrea fiorito lights the deep minmal house flame for cynosure closing the summer releases in style by producing heat that only a southern italian can. howie mangel

go hiyama has risen quickly to a position of international respect that few japanese techno producers can match. from his debut release on james ruskins coda label to his recent surgeon remixed single geometrical he has attracted continuous support from oscar mulero, james ruskin, surgeon, gayle san and many other djs at the cutting edge of techno. his sound is powerful but with an intricacy and ear to detail that shames most of the loop techno from a few years ago. for his first perc trax release he delivers 2 slices of powerful, detailed modern techno that follow on perfectly from geometrical. for the b-side remix perc trax is proud to have a deep dub techno mix from norman nodge. norman is resident at berlins infamous berghain club and the only producer apart from marcel dettmann to record for marcels own mdr imprint. norman has also just released the well-received track native rhythm electric on ostgut ton, which also featured on dettmanns recent berghain 02 mix album. as a dj, norman moved to his berghain residency after organising parties in easy germany, now as his production career flourishes he is starting to make his mark on the international circuit. this is normans first release on a non-german label and is a real coup for perc trax

the latest release on rising trax is this cheeky little ep from max vangeli. three top draw tracks on show here. >crazed< starts simple yet effective and builds slowly into a big distorted guitar hook before dropping back into a very militant rhythm. >k.e.j.i< is a stripped down prog house number with a wicked groove overlaid with nice stabs and a cool hook. the final track of the ep is >i rock< which begins as a minimal house track then drops with some cool squeaks, bleeps and delayed noises. the stabs turn into a big snyth riff which can only be described as large!

support from efdemin, loco dice, sebo k, shinedoe, dave dk, agnes, d julz, serafin, ame, ben watt, ray okpara, sasse, luke solomon, peace division & ashley beedle, among others... anonym is the one who is anonymous. his music, however, is anything but anonymous. hailing from the mecca otherwise known as detroit and with releases on his very own anonymous releases and on sushitech, anonym embraces in his music the ways of future past of the motor citys unique techno scene. anonyms new release arrives exactly when detroit techno is again paving the way to the future by transforming the now: post minimal strategies and a desire to find its own place in the tradition, make the music signed by anonym a strong creative statement, something that could only be cooked by a detroit native, but that resonates all over the world. for remix duties, we asked our good friend patrice baumel to take it amsterdam style. detroit techno has a strong hold on amsterdams music makers but the natives of the city of the best coffee shops in the world have also always shed a different light on their own productions. patrice is a perfect example of this: his originality and fierce work ethic has gained him a place in get physical and trapez. we were hoping for something special from patrice and he definitely delivered, taking shanghai express in a completely new direction, making it something else, but also his personal tribute to the city of cosmic cars and vital underground resistance

an african inspired gem written in mali, west africa, punch koko features the guitar talents and vocals of the godfather of african music, the one and only jacob yacoub soubeiga. coupled with boddhi satvas impressive production talents, punch koko is destined to become a breakout hit for vega records, with the track - the eagerly awaited follow up to satva and mr vs earlier vega released remix of vs born again - already receiving strong support in ibiza and beyond.

more super crazy mash up bounce booty power from the finnish jet & trend setters! we were discussing about the records we put out and since we play a lot of sweet stuff, not just only the club bangers and rave numbers, so why dont we put some our sweet favourites on a 12? you all remember girlfriend by dj techics? a huge record for us. the new ep is of course entitled sexytime as its got some joints for the ladies (thats what our club night is all about, see it for yourself if you dont believe it). we wanted to put out the secret weapons we play all the time such as bounce camps big dancin and fuck n tell by dj j.laini (whos one the best hip hop djs in finland and a long time associate)

without a doubt, chicago native huge hephner has garnered quite the reputation as an international playboy - pimpin and whorin his way into the electronic music worlds stream of consciousness. however, behind the tough guy persona is a highly underrated producer with an unbridled passion for music and love of the analog gear he uses to produce such increasingly in-demand sounds. it is this perversion that lends meaning to the title of his debut album, nymphotech, released on none other than the label that helped launch his career, siteholder records. unflinching in its house vibe, yet relentless in its dance floor attack, nymphotech is a highly impressive debut album by a producer who continues to up his game with each successive release. hephner kicks off part one of a two-part vinyl album sampler with the chugging acid burner sharing the same title as the album. nothing less than 4 a.m. packed club material, to play nympotech at any other time would be a failure to recognize this bombs full potential. jack n coke is undoubtedly huges nod to his hometowns house legacy, showcasing a flirtatious bass line that screams funk in all caps. wheres the acid? fans of hephner might ask. leave that up to freaky $ean da don, featuring the vocal debut of huges body guard and reputed hitman who bears the same name as the tracks title. if nymphotech is any indication of whats to come from mr. hephner, we can only hope huge will manage to stay out of jail long enough to produce a follow-up

is there more to life than house music? for the swedish dj/producer mikael nordgren: probably not. since 2004, he has been steadily churning out some of the best future house tunes from his studio located in stockholm. his productions have been released under many aliases including dmalicious, 12th floor and for get physical under the mighty moniker of tiger stripes. the blacker the music, the sweater the sound. a potential anecdote that fittingly could have inspired mikael when he composed the warm and supple portion of detroit fueled funk that is, blackroom entertainment. yet another presentation of his programming prowess and ability to mold and mend melodies into a sophisticated groove. especially utilizing his signature catchy drums to get the vibe going, then introducing a melodic synth stab before the track takes you away with complex variations of rhythmic lead sounds. abacus may remind listeners of his stellar mad at me ep released last fall on get physical - albeit reformed with a more analog approach. springing tones get the groove rolling before it is taken over by a cabal of sci-fi sounds, at which point a thick, modulated analog bass sound ups the overall energy. the lack of audio imagery is little if none, as the sounds invoke so many moods, feelings and sensations that only a seasoned dj and knowledgeable producer could fabricate such a convincing theme. blackroom entertainment ep again showcases mikaels ability as a formidable contributor to house music
