the jivers is a production duo formed by the two french djs/producers don pascal and fred spider. having not known each other before, their paths first crossed when both of them had moved to barcelona in 2007. soon they discovered their common love for deep and soulful music ranging from jazz, funk, brazil to nu-jazz, broken beat or house. their debut single >do what< has already been featured on the jazz&milk breaks compilation and received amazing feedback and spins from djs all over the globe and was brought to an even broader audience after being included on several compilations such as >saint germain des pres cafe<. now the song is being re-released in form of the do what ep including a brand new track called >move on girl<, again featuring the unmistakable voice of anqui and remixes by dj moodz, don pascal and fred spider. the jivers music can be described as a dance-floor oriented fusion of jazz elements with modern beat productions including the colorful and melodic vocals of anqui.

stefan schutz aka juno6 belongs to the society of the leipzig new school, which for the last 5 years has cut a path through emotions and change in diverse regions. his particular real estate is comfortably between deeper house and thoroughly scrutinized techno. sometimes he tends in one direction, at other times the opposite. all the while juno6 captivates both listeners and dancers alike with something new. his live sets are always an occasion – sound expeditions in the most literal sense embedded powerfully, yet imminently fresh as they are bound to tradition. he even dials up the the ambient/electronic field with project beautiful planet earth, or together with friend daniel stefanik as sensual. the sonic awareness of juno6 is expressed consistently as a potent degree of warmth, which paints a distinct lively and long-lasting tone on club music. the tone is hardly useful as a flavor of the month, but rather, a music with stamina and character. his track >guununk< is for more than a few the quiescent highlight of the fat 5zig compilation. on his second from fat, he displays the juno6 portfolio fully and expands his present effect with a portion of funkiness and a sprinkle of pop – at least on one of the cuts. with clever vocals mr. schulz informs us yet again.

after a long break, pole is returning in 2011. this break was necessary for pole to find his musical direction and produce a series of new tracks, starting with this 12inch. other music will be released later this year and in 2012. with these three easy going and wonderful works, pole connects once more with his past. from his albums >1<, >2< and >3< via >pole< to >steingarten<, pole rediscovers and reworks the characteristic warmth and deepness of his sound. bass and space are at the heart of both this new release and the specially established artist label pole. the warm experimental atmosphere is grooving slow and easy, carried from the funk of an old rhythm machine and connected through poles typically endless echo chambers. >waldgeschichten< is the first of a series of releases that will conclude with an album at the end of 2012.

after his recent excursion remixing groove armada, morton sorenson returns to the fold with a stunning little release for tirk titled >the burn down ep.< for those that dont know, morten is in his early twenties and hails from a small fishing village in rural norway. his dad probably spent many years in new york and the records that he brought back encouraged a love of american house and disco on the impressionable morton. >burn down (original)’ is an exercise in uplifting, stripped back house music. less is more here, the vibe stays rich and never loosens its grip. the rhythms skip on top of the beat and the vocal interludes make for a real vivid experience. the lpz remix on the other hand sits back a bit, the rhythms are solidly swung and the vocal appears more affluently in the mix. it feels smooth and definitely cool. to top the package, were served up some chi-town flavours with <owe that 2 u.< sustained strings and a slo-mo shuffle builds, then peels away to a hollowed out organ breakdown. a hauntingly affected vocal and clever edits ensue then drop back into the beat, articulated now by the clack of a tough stacatto synth. in our eyes, a brilliant end to a fantastic package

daniel dexter is the latest new talent to emerge as part of the poker flat crew. after some success with his strong, futuristic productions on exploited records, the berlin based producer has found a new home in steve bugs modern house magnate. the moody, storming >no house for old men< is a superb example of daniels talents. synth-heavy, dramatic and restrained, this slow burning houser lifts and climbs into spacey, ecstatic moments as its detroit influenced keys and carl craig-esque peaks bring it home. the groovy >who knows motorcity< works a simple yet addictive theme in a powerful pop-house moment, especially designed for summertime evening action. clean, bright percussion and rubbery synths flavour this delightful second course! the deeper, hypnotic tones of >the other day< have an almost soundtrack quality as subtle key changes and detailed sound design take this track into more subterranean realms. melancholic yet positive in its resolution, this is future house music in its prime!

altered natives has been making some noise this last year, with his underground smash >raas out<, followed by a remix for hyperdub and a release on martyns, 3024 label. other releases and remixes have followed, including the albums >tenement yard vol 1< and >serial vendetta< on his own eye4eye inprint. >the tenement yard vol 1< are a series of experiments that were conducted in natives norf lungdon laboratory in 2009 fusing house, techno and dubstep combined with natives unique production talents. the third and final vinyl release from altered natives tenement yard volume one, is finally delivered, from the album, thats caught press and djs attention such as, kode9, martyn and paul woolford to name a few. with three more experiments fusing together house, techno and uk funky and is limited to 300 units…

delta is a symbolic and poetic place, the space, where the flow, the river enters the ocean or the sea. the delta gives the feeling of the rhythm. the delta is the supreme destination. delta refers to hanging out in the street in a city (in the district, for example). essential in the delta is the spirit of conscious spontaneity, collaborations with artists, instant moves, jam sessions, highs and the lows, the right thing, night, stories to tell and other basic habits from the primordial age of music. the delta provides one with a primal style for the music. it is the place where music begins. recorded in moscow, nikolina gora, russia and in berlin, germany and mixed by daniel maloso in barcelona.

>candy red / hungry horse< is dro careys debut release for hum + buzz. this exciting newcomer from sydney has already made quite an impression, he was named as one of the top ten producers to watch in 2011 by fact magazine and has already collaborated with the former roll deep member trim. dro careys extraordinary music assimilates everything from classic techno and house to rnb, rap, juke and grime, to produce a peculiar skewed aesthetic. on side a, >candy red< places hypnotic other worldly vocals with interlocking melodies, stuttering percussion and subtle bass drops. on the other side, >hungry horse< begins by deploying a haunted female vocal, before morphing into snatches of different fragmented samples and frantic kicks and snares, for an intense narcotic affair.

the black void of space ep 00/2 is the second 12 inch from resoes debut album. it consists of two tracks from the album and a remix by no other than don williams of mojuba / wandering & a.r.t.less records. nachhall is a atmospheric track, but still aimed for the floor. the metallic chords and lushfull strings builds up slowly through the track and ends in a pure techno monster like the old school sound of detroit. dubcuttin is resoes expression of a dubstep track, with a more techno kind of edge to it, which goes perfect with early releases of a made up sound / 2562 and martyn. don williams remix is a straight detroit inspired track, with hard stabby chords and filtered fxs that for sure will kill your ears on a proper pa system. if you like deep dub with a twist of detroit, you must check this out.....!

ballistic record is an electronic music label from spain by delusions. we produce our own music, we also offer music by other artists. 1st ep features serious techno beats by delusions, casual violence, agony forces and deeps edayar.

vault series is a cheeky little series where rush hour drops never before released tracks and mixes from its vaults as well as tracks which are in dire need of a re-release.
the series kicks off with an unreleased track by the mysterious duster valentine. an anthemic disco track that, with its catchy piano loop, pays homage to the golden days of new york house music. music that will make you sweat!
on the other side we find aardvarcks fun-loving-freestyle-disco-mash-up-party-jam. its original release a few years ago saw support by many djs around the world. it was only released as a limited once sided promo. here is a chance for those who missed it to own a copy. this version is remastered and extended!

killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

jazzanova lands on wurst! early dj support comes from soul clap, radio slave, dimitri from paris, ewan pearson, sebo k, rob mello and slow hands. weve done the unthinkable, scored the unimaginable, and wrangled none other than jazzanova (!) for an über-limited one-sided vinyl-only release. while >i can see< feat ben westbeech came out a few years back, filippo moscatellos most excellent disco version never saw the light of day - until now, of course. doesnt much more sunshine-filled and soul-drenched than this stellar take on the esteemed berlin collectives original, and we are both honored and humbled to get to work with both jazzanova and their label sonar kollektiv, and of course filippo himself, on this very special release. filippo moscatello started to produce music in 1994 under the dj naughty moniker, and has since gone on to work with labels like gigolo, eskimo, and moodmusic to name but a few, releasing the artist albums disco volante (gigolo) and pagliaccio (moodmusic), as well as the acclaimed compilation, one naughty night in berlin (eskimo). in addition to his production work, filippo maintains a club residency at cookies in berlin called luv dancin where hes played along special guests like moodymann, jerome sydenham, ata, bottin and loud e.

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

a true journey through sound, felipe venegas >i ching< pushes house music to extraordinary levels with its complex passage through sound. on the flip, >orisha chango< sees felipe utilize his skills to ignite the dance floor the as he delivers a powerful yet sensual cuban influenced track. a bounding rubbery bass line and velvet spoken vocals roll as the gods of the yoruba mythology are listed. as tightly sprung samples ricochet against each other, >orisha chango< reaches its high in the last two minutes, its production excellence throwing us around in rich texture.

music always played a significant role in the life of javier viudez and rainer serrat and the quest for the music made them leave their hometowns mallorca and barcelona and move to london where they met each other and started sharing a studio in 2004. constant flow of releases on labels like serialism, safari electronique, vinyl club and serious club gigs followed. here javier and rainer kick off a new chapter and team up for 4 tracks, tales of lost memories and other-worldiness of early morning hours, that were some of the best kept secrets of loco dice sets this summer. the repetitive title track “scusas” with its hypnotic, scale wandering staccato bassline, >rainer nostalgia< with its uplifting vocal shouts, the timberlake infected, driving >nuevo cedar< or any other piece of this collection, these boys seem to have a golden hand for stripped down grooves

with >el otro mundo<, 7 samurai (aka panoptikum, dubben, les gammas) deliver the best alternative versions, takes and remixes of their acclaimed >el mundo nuevo< album. and the >other world< features a wide range of musical styles from soulful sounds by the likes of desmond foster and blue eyez to hip hop, reggae, dancehall and some fine electro tunes.

d.j. maaco is back at it again by keeping d.i.e. on the map! with long over due favorites such as dutch friends and move yo body, this will be a 12 inch you dont want to miss. listen as he drops the bass in break it down and bring the funk like no other. as you already know detroit in effect are the knights of pure detroit electro/techno and have one mission, to rock your party!

mr raoul k and baobab secret take the next step and put out new remixes of >le karantkatrieme peul<. prisme are a belgian duo (nicolas pepinster and yves theys) who started to produce their own material in 2010. they liked the title track so much that they remixed it and sent the result to mr raoul k who instantly fell in love with the melodic and laid back approach they took on it. this lush piece makes a perfect entry into a long night out, promising that every piece will fall into place. the other production crew featured on this release are the iklawa brothers (mzwandile nxasana and sandile magwaza) who run their own label in durban, south africa. they are big fans of mr raoul ks work and have been dropping his tunes in their sets on a regular basis. their remix is a dark, afrobeat driven tune that takes the listener on a long trip into a gloomy world full of surprising musical twists, dramatic changes of mood and impressing string sounds. the last remix is done by mr raoul k himself. he shows a new side of his musical skills. resulting in an epic track that seems to dance on tiptoes around a giant beast. one small step. hesitate. check carefully what happens. do not disturb. just watch in astonishment how it slowly awakes and stretches out to its full glory. a track that is full of hope, but reminds us to keep our feet to the ground to provide a solid stand.

this is dedicated to those that have lost their faith in our music. what happened to respect? what happened to the unity? put your petty hate aside and get on the dance floor or go home. techno belongs on the dance floor. this track will put it there! techno doesnt care how you feel or what you think. its about the music. respect each other ... techno anthem 2011 - wtf?!? vinyl + mp3 - incl. digital download code!

kris wadsworth is an integral part of detroits new wave, and with its time he wears his citys heart on his sleeve, delving into the electronic music legacy of his home town and showcasing the range of his own talent. the epic 10-minute title track >its time< is secret journey through the citys pulsing underground. it begins with a primal techno kick that rings out from afar, distorted by distance and brimming with a sense of anticipation. a gravelly male voice demands to know what time it is, declaring that >its time for that dirty shit, that dope shit, that detroit shit<, and the beat then kicks in, gritty and purposeful. the track then does a surprising about-face, abandoning the fist-pumping techno for just high hats and vocals, and transforming into a new phase that nods to detroits other great legacy: electro. grimy electro breaks and wiry melodies are spun before evolving again into deep house, with a see-saw duet of pads, and double-time hand claps. kris own >move dat ass remix< of his track >det sound< takes the dubby 2010 original, and reworks it as a ferocious bass and drums workout with dizzy vocal arrangements and blasting sirens.

brandon johnson, the artist known as tridact, has been putting together his mix of analog electronics and beats for some time. growing up in and around santa barbara, california, he has recently traded the beaches and foothills of southern california to move to the forests and mountains of southern oregon. after participating in various bands and other musical projects in santa barbara, he bought a simple setup consisting of a midi sequencer, a sampler and a couple of vintage synthesizers and began creating his own electronic music. over time he built up a small studio and added some live instrumentation into the mix. in the late 2000s, he began posting some of his tracks online, eventually leading to his first release, >light minute<, on the synchronicity suite compilation on moodgadget records, alongside artists such as wisp and mux mool. the track was later re-released on ghostly internationals nocturnal suite compilation. on tridact’s debut album on prins thomas internasjonal label, he creates an eclectic blend of densely layered, melodic, song-oriented instrumental tracks which combine analog synthesizers, guitars and programmed beats. the album draws from influences ranging from 60s pop to disco, house, techno and breakbeat to make a sound that reflects a distinctly pacific coast experience. from the new tridact album (intcd0002) we have cherry picked these tracks for a exclusive vinyl edition spread over 1 12 inch and a 7 inch.

rather lightweight live album, only thirty four minutes long, three songs and some painful applause herding for an encore. the line-up is essentially the girls line-up, though john g. perry s been replaced by an also-excellent mike wedgwood. the production is clear but the mix misjudged: the admittedly nicely brought out bass sound dwarfs all other elements. in particular, pye hastings guitar is very low, the drums never seem to match the bass volume.

limited to 500 copies!!!! hardly any other german music producer is so involved in the powerful development of elektro, techno house and noise pop over the last six years as almost 30-year-old alex ridha from berlin. with highly acclaimed releases on international deejay gigolos, turbo and last not least his own label boys noize records

raoul records is very happy to welcome liviu groza for the fourth release of the label. after his china charm ep on cityfox just before this summer, he is back with 3 tracks that fit perfectly with the sound of the label. it certainly has something to do with house and techno, but livius personal touch is quickly modifying our expectations, for the pleasure of our ears. there is an authentic energy in livius work and the a-side track >no love< is a perfect example of that. what starts with a typical filtered techno loop is suddenly brought to another level with a huge melodic bass line and then with two chords that enlight the track with a certain melancholy. the b-side starts with another killer bass line. >the manimals< bass line is a snake that enrolls its body around every other element: a great house groove and an hypnotic piano. liviu is a snake charmer! the 3rd track >mean fine< seems to be the perfect b2 track. what sounds rather quiet and reduced when you first listen to it, turns itself into an efficient old school dj tool with such groovy hats and hypontic vocals once played on a proper sound system!

limited to 350 collector copies !!! with the sixt release, which is the third of the mini sampler series, enterbt delivers a record created for your vinyl deck, the dance-floor and the serious music collector. the opener on this ep is the first contribution from topdeal music feat. alessandro felline (produced by topdeal music aka eugenio chiais). the track named >completely in tune< consists of smooth vocals and huge synths evolving into an amazing deep atmosphere full of mediterranean soul. the second track on this release >kairo< is produced by jagged, an already known trio from the swiss capital bern. jagged previously released their tracks on labels like >quintessentials<, >a few among other< or >bonzzaj<. the sound of this track spins around two different moods with the use of very raw and deep, hypnotic synth-lines. just lets get jagged! the flip side of this mini sampler continues with the track >last day< of our man from barcelona dario damerini. full analog power here! (plays inside-out) the fourth and last track of this ep >what can u do for me< is produced by cco. he is a member of >wave test< and is well known for his mathematics releases (plays inside-out). limited to 350 collector copys! b – side plays inside-out!

for our 33rd release we welcome back darius syrossian whos last area remote >stay up dancing, get in monday< scorched the international club systems back in march.
seeking for peace was triggered after darius got home from a great gig and while chilling at home saw the news on tv. horrific footage of the onslaught in the middle east and the suffering of the innocent families caught up in the bombing made him realise that when he had been living it up, others were living in fear.
bass not bombs is the inspiration for the other 3 remixes. the proceeds from his two tracks will be given to the international red crescent.

arkives analog features 6 pieces of 180 gram vinyl, exclusive tracks and a limited edition poster, presented in a deluxe custom box. (12 songs).... richie hawtins triumphant return to the stage as plastikman in 2010 proved that his best-known alias is as innovative and as relevant as ever. hawtin has taken plastikmans most classic material, originally released between 1993 and 2003, and reworked it for a truly live performance accompanied by mind-bending, synchronized visuals-a sound and light show like no other, one that collapses the distance between present-day festivals and the uncompromisingly underground warehouse parties of the mid 90s. for many attendees, this is their first taste of plastikman...

somewhere up in the sky… thats the spirit, good and bad, for legends and other space-cowboys. the space for original characters like elbee bad, who did his thing back in new york in the 80ties with his early house ep on nu groove- with just a big bang and elbee was there, from the very beginning to now. by now he lives and works in berlin and yet remained a true school house pioneer that even dj hell couldnt resist to capture his talent for a retro-perspective release of his on >international deejay gigolo< & peepz like matias aguayo and his cómeme-posse recall on him.

for alec koone, the 20 year old, pennsylvania resident, who was 19 and based in new york at the time of his first release, >wander / wonder< is a coming of age album that sees him expand upon the unique sound that attracted him so much attention to begin with. in koone s own words: it s an open ended album, and i think individuals should make their own meaning of it so that it is something actually real to them. it s not classical music, but in the tradition of a classical work like a bach cello suite, i see it as more of a whole musical piece with themes/motifs/ideas reoccurring throughout, connecting the tracks together as opposed to simply being a collection of songs that sit next to each other in isolation. it s also an album that should be listened to loudly. wander / wonder is a mysterious and genuinely haunting record that seems to exist in a world all of it s own making, balanced between the ecstatic wonder referenced in the title and something altogether more indefinable and uncertain of itself, like shards of light flickering through a blanket of fog, and even though wander / wonder is undeniably an electronic album, it feels strangely organic, rooted in nature, synthetic textures and distorted voices harmonizing with an ever present oceanic shimmer. wander / wonder was written and produced by alec koone in new york and pennsylvania. mixed by alec koone and sam haar (member of blondes) in new york city.

the wait is over ... the bomb has dropped! since grant dropped the classic mix at this years southport weekender back in may the phones havent stopped ringing for this one! if it wasn’t huge enough the last time out, the brand new remixes courtesy of none other than code reds own dj spen, delecto recordings christian alvarez & solar sounds honcho rob hayes have taken the track onto a whole new level – the classic is back, so hold on tight!

blue skies and late nights, camp fires and cheap delights and whisky drained straight from the jar. in a hammock slung below a sky of dreams and sea of stars lay a pop princess and a hip hop pioneer, arms entwined and eyes locked into each others stare they whisper sweet – nothings to each other, >you re flash< he says >take it slow< she purrs back >and dont even dont think about going down under!< a mile or two out to sea, floats what has come to be known as a mega-yacht. aboard his life like an episode of mtv cribs but with more parties and less gold-encrusted pool tables. surrounded by beauties by the bevy and sipping on gin and juice, duff scans the horizon with his telescope (solid platinum, encrusted with diamonds, built in infa red) and spies young love or a new hope. smiling to himself he thinks >they look different, younger perhaps at least changed, if not for the better but changed at least which is surely a good thing<. he turns to the girls on the boat, one hand pointing to the shore and the other raising his drink to the sky he shouts >i helped create that<.

what it happened again? but we still dont know! all we know is that once in a while every successful couple - and even passionate lovers - needs a break from each other. so this time, you get david woods on the green alone. no tiger around. just another man and his caddy. nevertheless, he has the >license to drill<, a >slazenger 1< in his pocket and >1:00:00< to kill. track after track after track by a true crack. funky peak time!

2011 is going very well for shlomi aber, having started the year with his dj sneak collaboration on be as one, followed by his acclaimed double album-remixes pack on ovum which are still all over the charts and dj boxes. now shlomi is back on his own label and takes things into a summery mood with the opening track >coconuts<, which is built around an hypnotizing synth melody, and shlomis uplifting smooth drums . on the other side is >who said that<, a rare vocal cut from shlomi which is a proper groover on the floor, with its minimalistic architecture but effective elements, surely something that will be picked up by many

the original track is already a club anthem but that didnt stop emalkay from stamping his hallmark, head-smashing bass-lines all over the place. whilst roska, on the other hand, does what he does best flipping caspas infectious synth horns into a lustrous funky affair with a lethal combination of dancefloor drum-lines and his incredible sub-driven synth jabs. proper party music!

clr is celebrating release number 050 with another impressive remix package. it features two remixes of two different tracks from tommy four sevens recently released debut album >primate< (clrcd010). for this occasion, none other than one of the undisputed founding fathers of detroit techno and minimal techno, robert hood, and the genre-bending dub-techno pioneer sigha have come to the table and have delivered two massive remixes of those highly innovative tracks by the british born, berlin-based producer. also included in the package are >verge<, the original track remixed by sigha, as well as another original track by the name of >g<. to understand why this is a truly memorable release, one has to know that tommy four sevens approach to music is unlike a musician. .

dachshund is a living example of a musician who doesnt take himself too seriously: his lively productions, where his passion for experimentation in rhythm and sound are clearly evident, stand out as a welcome departure from the sterile work of so many other heads in the scene. besides humor, an easy-going jamaican feeling characterizes his sets and tracks: the swiss dj, producer and label owner has his musical roots in reggae, which he has followed all the way to the sunny caribbean. no wonder then, that we can hear the dub influence in his current musical output. true to form, dachshund presents his latest release on the berlin record label, highgrade records, where the beats will blister through the speakers in unexpected combinations and grooves. around every corner there seems to lurk a new mad idea or sound sequence from dachshund, who leads his listeners equally as he misleads them on the dancefloor. with a sly musical wink, he offers us three tracks >shall we<, >soul free< and >tell me< produced with sophistication and elegance. these tunes switch almost imperceptibly into a grooving mind-trip that perfectly fits the title of the ep. this is the equivalent of a relaxing invitation to dance: >shall we<? … but, of course!

vinyl doublepack containing the best material from two albums that were recorded back in 2004, all revised and remastered in 2010. very experimental, based in (dark) ambience with rhythmic patterns oriented among idm, electro and triphop. one album was inspired by asian horror movies, and the other was highly inspired by david lynch films >lost highway< and >mulholland drive<. spooky great release... and again bonus cds included!

for our first campaign together we bring you their next vinyl release, featuring music from some of the labels regular contributors. microtune & takter were the duo behind concorde clubs very first release and today they combine their love of impulsive beats and deep bass with beautifully melancholic latin samples on >trista pena< and >bazaar<. on the flip gregor sultanow presents two superb cuts. matching deep throbbing bass and sax on >jazz cafe< and wobbling dubby goodness on >kiezfrühstück<. all four tracks brilliantly complement each other, making this a strong summer bound ep. perfect for the after-hours or open air parties.

everything is in solution. no more here, no more when - the sounds loosing their way while creating something new and mysterious. waterkristallen is a transparent and absolute haunting track from arjuna schiks which will be released on einmusika records at the end of july. its a deep and tech influenced number with dizzying atmospheric parts and a lot of power on the other sight - its a dancefloor-number detached from the seasons. arjuna schiks was inspired by new age, meditation and world music, a hippie-child from amsterdam - that is what you can also hear in his productions one more day and my cup of tea. they are so strong and free - good vibes for your soul and precious diamonds for the clubs. once again einmusik is preparing the stage for a young and great producer and it is not supposed to be a short-time collab.

the future of hidden recordings is vibrantly on display with the young producers m.a.d.a. & plankton, who are already a hot property these days with crucial releases on tanz factory, naked lunch, phobiq, sleaze, eminor and more. it seems only natural that the duo would eventually cross paths with the high flying new york city based hidden recordings, a label soaring on the success of its previous two releases - 013hrwolkenreise and 012hrthe great lawn. the union here is a blast of refined techno in the form of antiz. the ep is as dark as midnight and heavy as a load of bricks with a musical character that is memorable and distinct. hidden once again shows its commitment to releasing quality dance floor music with a hard-hitting original and a hand-picked collection of remixes from other well-respected new techno stars including: sasha carassi, alejandro trebor, felix bernhardt, mike wall, michael schwarz, and hidden founders deepak sharma & dieter krause. hidden recordings once more delivers a massive release, this time to celebrate the next generation of producers forthcoming on the label.

one of the strongest house producers of all time joshua iz show us that its not all about house, and brings his dubwise monkier and brings us some sunshine on wax. both of the original tracks ooze class and style. on the flip side one of the men of the moments simoncino funks up one mix then takes you to a beach with the other

t got its debut last week on bbc radio1 and we are hearing it is going to get airplay on pete tong or annie macs show in the next couple of weeks. it is already getting support from luke fair, mark farina, danny krivit, francois k and about another 20 big hitters and lots of other radio play. we think it could be a summer anthem if it is heard in the right places

keep up! records unveils brand new signing bestboygrip complete with his debut ep fonck. those with their ears to the ground will be aware that the germany-based bestboy is well-known within the drum n bass world under a different moniker. but this is the bestboy cutting loose for a minute and kicking out some modern disco jams with one foot in the past and the other in the future. this is the sound of an 80s boogie, synthesizer, library music and b-movie obsessive. fonck is the slow-paced opener with heavy-hitting synth drums but reflective keyboard narrative. one of keep up! recordsfavourite producers architeq provides a dubby, spacey remix sounding like something luke vibert might have included on his nuggets library compilations. on the flipside the pace quickens with the flexible bassline but tight groove of copyright. the ep closes with the house-tinged cross my mind, which builds on the strong melody-lead theme of the other tracks even further with the aid of catchy synth lead and vocal hooks. the fonck ep sits comfortably next to artists such as faze action, lcd soundsystem and ilija rudman. just the way keep up! likes its modern disco. bestboygrip is aiming to expand his sound even further, this time onto the stage with a full live band. keep an eye out for roland and his crack team of musicians visiting your town.

the highly anticipated squeaky lobster ep has been worth every second of the wait. in terms of sample / synth selection, song structure and sound quality, no expense has been spared. hi-fi synthetic drums intertwine with lo-fi sampled kicks & snares whilst heavy stretched out synth bass lines are topped with bollywood-esque string samples, 80s guitar bridges & plenty of other orchestral mayhem. the lush, thick melodic layers mount up into a frequently spine-tingling whole whilst the rhythm section, although outside the box, does by no means neglect the headnod factor. the incredible feat here is that although no 8 bars are quite the same as the next, a sense of unity is preserved within each genre-defying track, making it the stuff of epic journeys. you may start your listening experience in front of your turntable, staring at the record spinning, but you will end up somewhere quite different, squeaky lobster has made sure of that. as man from phone number 770021 would say: >this is $50.000. good luck.<
