the original mix of tape replay is nearly nine minutes long and can only be described as a journey. its the perfect transition track, able to turn minimal sets into future disco, a house set into electro-funk, a techno set into a live jam-a-thon or a rigid set of any kind (like too many these days) into something with emotional depth. for remix duties we have enlisted our favorite producers will saul & tam cooper from simple records. much like their tech-house revision of phoniques bang, recently released on dessous, here on fresh meat they have put together a subtle yet bassy response to the wow & flutter original. the track builds and builds and at about three fourths through it explodes with lush keys, rich pads and a breakdown thats executed perfectly. these gents are on point and we are more than excited to have them along for the trip.

very strong release by martin landsky. -killer with a monster beat!- (record of the month in de:bug), -a corker from martin. really intense. manages to capture a futuristic feeling whilst still using classic sounds and percussion. superb! (will saul)-. already suported by argy, clé, dave dk, emerson, karotte, m.a.n.d.y., huntemann, phonique, agoria, chloé, d julz, fex, laurent garnier, sian, jeff bennett, jamie jones, mike monday, st. sebastian, will saul and many more. martin landsky is back with another strong release: >man high<. honni soit qui mal y pense, >man high< doesnt intent to glamourise drug abuse. its a tribute to captain joe kittinger and the man high project, a pre space-age military project that took men in balloons to the upper layers of the earths atmosphere. not only took the balloon joe kittinger to a record high, he also performed a sky dive from 75.000 ft. imagine how yo feel, falling free from the stratosphere, close to unconciousness, rotating like mad with 22 g … martins track >man high< captures a bit of that vibe with its live played wildpitch- like oscilating synth modulations. all three tracks on the ep are breathing martin landskys special analogue sound treatments and a rocking old school vibe. b1 builds a bit more subtle while b2 is an offbeat driven dancefloor smasher. brilliant release

nice price deal !!! 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

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

igor tchkotoua and dan duncan are true workaholics. not only are the two mallorquinos forming one of the most exciting techno duos of our time and play in the most famous clubs worldwide, they always make it to pop up in the studio to work on their releases on sonic society, wig records or like in the case of >deliverance<, the new 12inch on cocoon. >deliverance< starts quite cautious but the track becomes more and more complex – pig & dan give the dj a tool that fits the minimal raver like a custom-made suit. the b side is again one of those tracks that put a smile on your face. in >sly detector<, atmospheric techno sound unites with energetic celebration pleasure, just as we know it from tracks like >after ibiza< or >on to the beat<. the rolling hookline which has the necessary splash of acid is, together with the floating trance layer, adrenalising to such extent that nothing else remains to be done but to raise your hands in the air. the track was already a hit with many djs in 2007, and will be one – chosen in the right moment – on many dancefloors in 2008, too

unsoaked girl (a1) is probably one of the deepest and best works that rush ever delivered. soulful strings and a bassline that sounds a lot like early saunderson makes it hard to believe that mr. snare-and-bass has been working here. wonder why he didnt keep up like that… one time 300 unit repress only !

dream disco is the project of rotterdam based producer dj overdose. only sixteen years old he started his dj career and has been involved in the electronic music scene of the netherlands since the mid 90ies with remarkable releases on labels like viewlexx, bunker or murder capital. as dream disco, his italo disco project, he released his first 12inch in your eyes on das drehmoment records

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.

tip! a lasting impression melody track , lmtd one sided 500 copies only

christmas number one by the black arts is a collaborative single by britains finest art noir group: black box recorder, and britains finest punk art group: art brut. a genuine celebration of christmas with a song written by john moore and luke haines, clearly influenced by slade, wizzard, ernie the fastest milkman in the west, william burroughs and war of the worlds. there was only one person who could convey this message of good cheer, their dear pal eddie argos (art brut). the limited edition 7inch (limited to 1000 copies) comes on festive green vinyl and features the b side glam casual

you may already know barem (aka mauricio barembuem) from his releases on (un)foundsound, pariter and phonocult or from his remixes on resopal, mos ferry and einmaleins. if so you, wont be surprised in the slightest to find him surfacing on minus with never better than late to round off what has been another groundbreaking year for this ubiquitous label. the electro flavoured broken beats of so serial (digital only) make it the perfect tool for opening a set or for shifting the mood. the melancholy tones, the massive snare reverbs and the low, stuttering acid bassline gradually turn up the pressure before eventually triggering the 4/4 section, establishing the perfect platform to propel the eve! ning onto the next level. the fantastically titled ears conclu! des the release,offering more subsonic trickery in a similar vein. the percussive licks shift up and down amid a wash of reverbs and delays, while the bubbling bassline motors forward, keeping the scuttling efx in check

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!

ltd upfront promos , boddhi satva and abel tabu have fused their interpretation of african music by returning to their roots, providing us with one of the most interesting projects this year on atal music. they asked the talented congolese guitarist, danny mpiana, to bless their production with a true central african musical feeling ensuring they capture and soothe both heart and soul of dancers and listeners worldwide. the name boddhi satva has become for the most part, synonymous with deep, afro ancestral beats, melodies and rhythms. all these elements and more are present in his past productions, so its only fitting that he capitalize on this trend and join forces with his friend abel tabu to bring forth the best of both musical backgrounds. the end result is moina ya mokili, a formidable collaboration that confirms their true love and passion for deep soulful music. furthermore, this project is endorsed and enriched with support from abicah soul. his remix incorporates scintillating afro latin smooth, yet powerful beats and the signature abicah soul touch of deepness.

with only a couple of releases and remixes (incl antena >bye bye papaye<) under lexx and his more house oriented alias kawabata on drumpoet, he became one of the key figures in the ever growing neo disco scene. we are very proud to announce his first full 12inch on permanet vacation. >axis shift< is an absoulte space boogie bomb. think of innervisions goes disco. sure shot on the floor. >el sueno lucido< is a psychedelic balearic affair with a great guitar play. support comes from lindstrom, bill brewster (last night a dj saved my life), mock & toof (dfa), toby tobias (rekids)...

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

a taster of the whats to come from moby in 2008! only 900 copies pressed

comes with a nice disco mix by bangkok impact. big new track by unit 4 called new day which was scheduled to be released on clone records during the summer but due to delays now only available as white label release. massive sounding track that follows up on their big body dub. this track is in the same vein as their previous release but has a bit more electro-techno-ish feeling. nice mixture between disco, electro, house and techno. great hook line and powerful bassline makes this another essential track

hustle & flow are brian anderson and ryan kick from new york city and they are debuting on european soil with this crispy 3 track funkster. this city is the home of artists as masters at work, armand van helden and so on but lately a new wave of underground house music producers has been emerging from the big apple with fresh names like troydon, 1200 warriors and these guys. the room service ep serves you 3 ultra funky modern house tunes that will be played by your house heroes derrick carter, dj sneak, dj heather and jason hodges. first track play it again is the most boompty cut of the lot with its melting sub bass and one of the most danceable house cuts of the last months, no doubt. untouchable has this amazing double theme that puts instant smiles on the dance floors worldwide with its great jazzy sax break. the deeper cut on this ep is locals only which has some slick rhodes action going on, a favorite amongst many house deejays. another winner for the tracky sister label of aroma recordings.

this time we ve taken a trip to israël where deep a & vek are from. these two youngsters produce deep and hypnotising minimal that is hugely inspired by heroes like chaim or guy gerber. they gave us three tracks that each and every one are a story on itself. all tracks take their time to build up to a climax and bubble out into soundscaped synth lines and carefully constructed melodies, aiming not only on the mind, but also at your feet.

awsome dirty house track originally released for japan only, now repressed and available here in the us. the a side has a funky, guitar sound and a driving bassline from a guy in sly mongoose (mule). traderoute is an ibiza friendly hypnotic house instrumental.

hes re licked soul of man, re mixed queen and re touched prince to name but a few, so what could the boy wonder a.skillz possibly put his hand to next i hear you ask? yes you guessed it, its none other than the original kings of pop the beatles!! strawberry jam forever is a catchy party starter like no other and has gained plays from pete tong, annie mac and sir krafty of kuts for that very reason. and if the kings werent enough hes only gone and remixed a reverend as well. soul legend al green gets the once over on with you, whilst collapsed lung booty eat my shorts completes a rather formidable package!

to all intents and purposes this is the 2nd binary chaffinch release (except its not billed as binary chaffinch cos its milo on his own and its not got a vocalist. binary - 2, chaffinch - songbird). similarly insane as false energy and even more dancefloor friendly, milo has pulled out all the stops on this one. this is the one to drag dissidents wonky leftfield aesthetic kicking and screaming into the primetime dancefloor chaos. only 200 copies knocking about!

just touched down on the runway and pulling straight into the music response exec s arrivals is a brand new label, imprint music. founded in early 2007 by dj and producer joshua hewitt. based in manchester, england, the label has been set up with the aim of injecting a new life into the underground house scene and to keep the house music we all know and love alive. imprints music policy is to put out the freshest house tracks ranging from the deep sounds of the undergound, to more straight up jackin music. the underlying sound will always be driven towards deep, jazzy, tracky and funky house music. imprint music is concentrating on only bringing you quality house music from both renowned and up and coming artists from around the globe.

e-motionz introduces charly m. to its audience with this three-track release. the original edit is deep emotronic with sweet filtered sounds on top of a pounding sub-kick. berlin based mood music owner sasse makes extensive use of the original elements on the a-side, but not without adding a twist to it as only he can. nine minute of divine cruising beats. making things complete, novak & therm sign up for a more up-down-up rework that is more violent than you would think after a first listen. supported by sian, michel de hey, marcel janovsky

kne deep is a&red by the one and only emperor of hard techno, dj rush. the next kd in line is by subsonic & repeet, 2 amazing new talents on the scene. these tracks will fuck with your brain & feet. madness...

arkus p. can look back on over 30 releases in only 3 years in music business on labels like highball, definition or artillery, and many others. and now arkus p. is going to release his debut album >musical prostitutes<. >musical prostitutes< is the revelation of arkus p.! hard, merciless, but diversified!

an hybrid sound, explosive and melodic. in the higher reaches of electronic music a new label appears intending to disrupt our habits. proposing an alternative to the stereotyped dance music and the boring minimal, basilic records permits new talents to release their maxis. the founder of this label is not focused on exclusive type of electronic music, he is keen on hard tech as well as minimalism. the only condition is a brilliant techno sound dedicated to space. this first release is influenced by border community & skryptom.

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

anthem alert !! sandy vee pushed this iggy pop punk classic into the 2007 electrohouse scence !! more doggystyle not only for lovers of this well known position... hä hä

the mighty moustache records brings you 2 electrosynthpop-tracks from the hardrocking sneak-thief, and 2 immer gerade aus electrotracks from the headbanging polygamy boys. only 500 white label with labelstamp copies available

a perfect example for the second category is the lnz013 track rezolution. even though limited on 500 white label copies, this hypnotic minimal trip became an incredible public success over the last two months. not only, but especially on ibiza, the feos & miroir production is regularly spinned by all important tech house djs. not set the dance floor alight or keep it ablaze with rezolution is a big faux pas the party crowd hardly could accept. due to the overwhelming demand for the lnz013 (and the fact that its sold out mostly everywhere) the label decided to press a second edition of this legendary tune. unlike the tria track of the limited vinyl, the flipside comes with a re-edit version of rezolution, produced by pascal feos studio mate chris wood. extended to 8.30 minutes of playtime, he retained all stunning sound elements of the original, re-arranged them, gave great new accents and lifted the track cleverly up to an even higher, minimal house energetic level. thats why we dont call it a b-, but aa-side track

a: >only lycra<: a beautiful deep and warm sounding melancholic dub train is bringing you trough this mysterious ,secret squonky night, with jazzy harmonies,tribal rhythms and some laid back minimal roots. you would not want to get out of it...!! b: >frispo<: synthetic slapping bass line,dark stomping modulated beat sounds, a tooly but functional character and some duby vocal cuts pushing it consequently to the dance floor

jason little continues his quest and drops the sequel in a series of very string hard techno collaborations. he ignites his already pretty popular label with a solid outburst of roughness featuring the one and only dj rush. now its time for his friend felix krocher to pitch in his analogue anger! jasons mask is about to be big and you know it

we re nearly at the end of the cloud series and this time you get a couple of uber cosmic album only rarities given the full 12inch treatment for the first time multi track suggestion is simply awesome for freaky dancing or chilling, gently re eqd and spread across a whole side of a 12inch. 64k ram on the flip is bonkers off kilter stuff from a super rare library album sounding huge on 12inch for the first time

par grindvik is fast tracking through the ranks extremely quickly and is widely considered by many in the techno community to be one of the best producers out there at the moment. his releases over the last few years for adam beyers drumcode imprint as well as for labels such as stockholm ltd particulary his recent nand-grind release have gotten some seriously heavy rotation from some of the most influential djs on the planet. here for adam beyers truesoul imprint he delivers what can only be described as a 3 track masterpiece. the epic 11 minute a side has massive carl craig influences and is a breathtaking deep journey that peaks and drops relentlessly with its morphing mood changes and amazing production
