kyle geiger brings you his third installment on his imprint cubera in a quest to bridge some crucial gaps between house and techno constituents. this time, taking it a little deeper with the use of vocal work from vocalist stefanie jansen for the title track scream, weaving her voice in and out of a strong synth and percussion work out. in the second mix of the a-side, truncate lends his tough, stripped style for his remix of >scream<, providing a welcome contrast to the original. on the other side, >underneath< adjusts the eps sweat dial to 11 with its shit-losing, raw synth hook. the fact that this track even has a sweat dial that goes up to 11 should communicate something really special. the final track step brings more of an stabby, yet scaled back afterhours vibe to round things out, while still carrying enough critical mass to make things a little messy.

marius vareid revisists the title track of last years debut album in two version here and other than the connotation that telemark evokes, its perfect summer bizniss in the 12inch edit version thanks to its bobbing flanger chords, the unhurriedly striding bass melody and the carefree clattering percussion. the klubb version sticks to its promise, keeps the trademark chords but they sound way more athletic in its sparser environment of beefed up drums and frantic percussion. powered by a slightly moody feeling bassline and its buoyant, exuberant synth melodies the brand new il tempo gigante on the flip is a prime example of the scintillating, heady mixture of disco roots, house and dub antics. as an extra bonus prins thomas adds a tropical-sticky interpretation of villa farris (originall version on fp024)

at this point you should know that am/tm is anthony mansfield and tal m. klein. this is their eighth record together. you should probably also know that anthony mansfield has another side project with nick chacona called ncam. in other words, anthony is a collaboratively promiscuous producer who likes to make music with his friends. back to acid is am/tm?s attempt to get the world from uptight and twitching to firmly crooked and messy. coveting a return to the halcyon days of tripped out people melting on the dancefloor and raves in the woods, comes this hard hitting trip with vocals by navid izadi. add sweeping 303s and crunchy 808s.. and well, what more could you ask for in a track called back to acid? on the b-side is an extended ncam remix which ups the bpms and attitude. its a family affair.

steve bug drops a new outstanding 12inch on his own highly prolific poker flat recordings. those grooves is the perfect primer for his upcoming album (due out in autumn 2012), and sees the man in fine form - masterfully in control of his sound and producing tracks with a depth of dancefloor knowledge most other producers would die for. those grooves, the lead track locks into its exquisitely crafted groove early on, holding a taut balance between its individual elements. mid way through its 10 minutes, bug drops the tempo and lets the groove breath, before bringing it all back home - an audacious late night club weapon. the flip side is no less dramatic – tell me why creeps up, evolving slowing but surely – before an edgy, freaked out bass line drops over the crisp drums. a true peak time burner with enough energy and tension to smash any floor.

diynamics new member duo hunter/game suprise with their first diynamic release. the two young boys from italy, emmanuele nicosia and martino bertola, bringing a really nice groove with them! its exactly the sound, diynamic stands for: deep basslines combined with groovy, harmonic vocals add up to the newest diynamic ep reckless lady. on their first visit to diynamics residency club, the ego in hamburg, hunter/game gave a first impression of the love and enthusiasm they have for their music. the first track >under< opens with a clear message: these boys really know what they are doing! driving hi-hats, a pumping, deep bassline and smooth vocals are giving this track a pretty nice groove. the second track on the ep boogie music sets apart from the other tracks. this cooperation with freakme is getting really funky! a beautiful vocal part, that is developing its full power in the first breake will make you move! with reckless lady, the third track on the ep, hunter/game made a perfect club tune. its again the nice combination of an accented, deep bassline, a repeating, catchy vocal and powering percussions that makes this track so nice. the ep ends with crazy enough, a melodic tune with epic vocals! all in all hunter/game proved their feeling for the special deep house sound, diynamic stands for and produced a great first ep.

we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.
comes as double 10 inch vinyl, including cd-version of this release.

>let yrself be<, the second single to be taken from jimmy edgars critically acclaimed majenta, tells the story of, in resident advisors words, a nomadic sex fiend gone clubbing. two of the albums more brazen house cuts are the focus, evincing an artist as adept at catering for dance-floor and dj as he is for the home-listener.
the title track is a beatific cruise through stabs, chords, claps and slaps to a place where 90s house meets garage vocals, shutters are raised and everyone dances happily ever after. >heartkey<, on the other hand, shows a starchild at his sultriest. chugging along with electro swagger and vocoder charm, his claims to be the only one with the key to your heart are hard to disbelieve. lock up your android daughters.

the ninth release from the mainrecords shop, on its eponymously titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from matt star, plus a remix from perseus traxx. with well over three dozen releases under his belt in one guise or another matt star aka mattias schildger is no stranger at all to production of high quality electronic music, as this latest ep clearly displays. happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with its tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of ed dmx, while others lend more of a chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the cars windscreen. perseus traxx delivers a subtle remix that remains true to the elements of the original and while adding a booming kick and some of his own production techniques, influences and grit to the mix, shows he isnt stuck in one genre or sound.

second part of recycling a la bau, heavy food this time with heavy percussion and rassling rides throughout the whole track. trikeracing is far beyond control, this track is a soundexplosion, nothing less. shuffleracing is a bit more reduced featuring a different groove and focussing on the sawtooth theme of the basic version. two more killers, no fillers, again on credo! nice feedback and support by faki, liebing, bodzin and many more, but the most defining feedback by mr. gary beck, no other words could describe it in a better way: by goodness me the trikeracing is wicked!! thats some heavy shit there. at the right moment i cant wait to play this! ... word!

gabriel ananda delivered his first original ep for a label other than his own in over a year! warm cologne which features two originals from gabriel, is available now on monique musique.

radioblues take me home on fenou no.16 is the sweetest piece of minimalish housy electronica in a long time on this label. as a mere mortal you cannot resist the dreamy voice of sylwia van der wonderland. you just want to fulfil her wish to take her home and get caught up in her world. solely the music itself makes it impossible to leave the dance floor and thats thanks to robert - the rocket scientist - who is the other half of this organic duo. with remixes by umami, arjuna schiks and le prix you can choose from various styles, but when the last beats fade youre almost forced to flip to b side and back to the a and so on and so forth

the prism is an aluminum cube, small enough to fit in your palm. it was designed by nicolas jaar as a new medium for releasing music. the first release - csa001 - features twelve (mostly) unreleased songs from jaar and other clown & sunset collaborators. the prism is a piece of art in and of itself, its contents beg to be shared. twin headphone outlets encourage connections to the object and between the two listeners. the prism tries to restore physicality to the listening experience. the medium and the method are as important as the music itself. the prism makes you consider how the music is being heard, the way the object feels in your hands, and its potential to foster intimacy between listeners. when the prism is unplugged, a beam of light passes through the empty center, revealing a void. someone is missing.

saulty and bradka, the two behind vilnius based downtown party network tag team, combine together more than 10 years of dj and production experience. their original productions have been signed by eskimo, loud east, bear funk. their remix work has been commissioned by pete herbert, kolombo, main stem, deadstock 33s, tj kong & nuno dos santos and even sander kleinenberg. their gig geography ranges from london to dubai. which doesnt give even a tiny shadow of doubt on their musical credibility and ability to rock the party. here they deliver the first single of another kind for best kept secret - killer bass line combined with irresistible jazz chords on a side and some metro areaish stripped down funkiness on b side. dance music machinery at its best. best kept secret - hidden sounds of vilnius house scene uncovered & presented by vidis.

after a superb 2011 for crosstown rebels, they are now proud to present their next album, amirali >in time<. tipped as a one to watch for 2012 (mixmag), iranian/canadian producer amiralis debut album is truly exceptional, a subtle combination of house, techno, funk, electronica and downbeat with indie sensibilities. the album is reminiscent of depeche mode, radiohead, underworld and art department all through a modern electronic paradigm. amirali features on vocals on the album and is already being widely, regarded as one of the most accomplished debut albums of recent years. his recent single beautiful world (featuring remixes from deniz kurtel, daniel bortz & hrdvsion) was met with rapturous appeal gaining an ever-increasing legion of fans. in time is a fantastic body of work, from the hit singles my way, beautiful world and just an illusion to the down tempo painting on a canvas and last words, the album is full of beautiful sonic vignettes. other highlights include the broken beat whisper, the infectious hear me and the mammoth sounds of my life. just an illusion will be released shortly after the album featuring mk, franck roger and appleblim remixes. amirali has succeeding in producing a mesmeric and consummate body of work. the album has already been playlisted on npr and looking like another big album release for crosstown rebels.

with >dazed<, senking continues his exploration of the abysses of sound to create dark and gloomy atmospheres. the slow beats of the two tracks are accompanied by tender, harmonic melodies, but broken by nervous, unsteady tones which seem to be a warning against hidden dangers. the first track >the dance hall walk< also features a vocal sample by micheal cramm - a text which reflects the nervousness and excitement in anticipation of some thrilling things to come. like >tweek<, senkings last ep, >dazed< is not only concerned with the depths of sound, but also with the depths of the human psyche, where there is no escape other than music itself.

will azada is back for his third appearance on proper trax, and his first solo 12 inch, with the appropriately titled strictly heat. drawing from the success of the labels split personalities ii, his collaboration with piltdown sound on the wet feet ep on woods n bass, and >easy does it< on the newly-minted mystical disco imprint, will azada continues to draw attention to his diverse style with three floor-torching cuts on proper-003. from the driven, hands-in-the-air piano house of >pump that shit<, to the queasy chords of the unconventional, yet highly mixable >drunk sequence<, to the relentless, searing arps of >for the floor<, strictly heat is likely to induce near-strokes on dancefloors globally. other info: marbled color vinyl, red jacket, black sleeve, 200 copies available.
