limited edition orange vinyl promos. the first solo 12 inch for samurai music by rising kiwi star dose. co-writer of one of the labels biggest ever selling releases (the other part of me with trei), the recent uk migrant comes with what we feel is his best work to date. >reason being< defines the term roller, and with its euphoric middle section mixes the ruffness of its driving rhythm with the silky smoothness of its melodic overcoat. >helpless< is another tech funk masterpiece from dose which has been competing strongly for a side status since we signed this 12 inch. dj support from klute, teebee, spectrasoul, marky, break, logistics, phace, state of mind and many more. watch for the forthcoming dose full length album in late 2011 on samurai music.

snugness and calmness are important ingredients for a fulfilled life- and for entertaining dance music as well, as is proven by the gentlemen schaeufler and zovsky. their debut album could be characterized as a cunning mixture of humorously grinning relaxation and pushing dance floor bounce. this unique sound reflects the stylistic background of the duo: while the one keeps grooving on the laid back and independent vibe of his rural home mecklenburg, the other moved to berlin already some time ago and inhales all the diverse, international influences of the electronic metropolis. the village is rhythmically fuelled by casual and lasciviously house tunes with a warm and friendly character, supported by organic, dubby bass lines. matching this positive and uplifting mood, light melodies, classical styled filter modulations and unobtrusive vocal entries remind the laid-back amusement of a sunlit sunday outing.

macro greets rhythmic expressionism: stefan goldmann’s “the grand hemiola” is the first real innovation in the vinyl format in years! 144 locked grooves build a toolkit that breaks out of the limitation of one 4/4 cycle and brings unique possiblities to create complex polyrhythms just with two decks and a mixer. stefan goldmann’s first ever double vinyl album is a take on the infinite possibilities of rhythmic layering. percussion-heavy, focussed on clashing metres, deeply exploring the sound set – from the orchestral “grand hemiola”, to the triplet-feel of “megi’s waltz”, from the 11/8 pattern of “double hendecagon” to the anti-loops of “away from the flock”: a unique, non-conformist album of haunted acoustics, haptic percussion and deep rhythmic expression. a true, first time invention comes on two sides of the vinyl set: “the grand hemiola” loop toolkit overcomes the time restriction of locked grooves: one record contains loops in 4/4, the other in 3/4 (employing the time differences of the rotation rates 33 and 45 rpm). in the mix, they sum up to an extended cycle of 3x 4/4 or 4x 3/4 and enable building complex “3 over 4” polyrhythms (“hemiolas”). you can mix loop into loop for hours without ever getting trapped. more than an album, this is a note: pitch down side d to approx. -1.5 to match the loops’ bpm rate on sides b & d

easy and the center of the universe we already know from their recent flogsta danshall 7 inch release and some skweee compilers,remember legend of selda on skweee tooth?this new release on harmonia is as the previous ones infected with arabian soundbites. we recognize the details from our nights in the medina of marrakesh, we slip into our caftan, smoke the water pipe and drink mint tea,and are bodypoppin like an egyptian. no kiddin, this record is so imaginative and so true to its style that you cant go any other way. details of the percussion on halloumi are so good with the details in the orchestration (references to uom kalthoum records come to mind) the pitch and modulation wheels used intensive. with this release easy & center of the universe prooves again that skweee is one of the most evolving styles at the moment. this is exotic and exiting music.

comes in clear vinyl. with over 30 releases behind and over a decade of running his own label, jacek sienkiewicz persistently followed his very own path, creating music that very soon began to be impossible to define. friendly, but not fraternizing with everyone and his family, modest, but stubborn only in a positive way, jacek is an individual with clear, personal vision and an unorthodox approach to music - light years away from the hectic, utilitarian ethos of club-derived electronic beats. >on the road ep< is the preliminary 12inch for the homonymus album which is another collaboration with cocoon. the cycle is now completed with one of the most experimental albums to appear on sven väths label to date. this record is not easy and is definitely demanding attention - but its also rewarding like no other. new sounds, voices and brilliantly clever arrangement patterns are revealed with each new listen. its not detroit nor santiago, not sheffield nor berlin, its not even the sound of jaceks home town of warsaw - this is the real music of the spheres.

danish producer martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on techno and house. his very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. with his debut record on cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. the mzuzu ep is all about bass. the bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. while the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. the basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in ones mothers womb. it arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. martinez reorganises the structure of house music: the lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. the tracks rarely need anything else. the icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. >mzuzu chant< & >adagio< are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space

1 track continues with delivering some serious house music! after three releases we know their goal... epic house tracks rooted in the best tradition of chicago and early nineties productions. 1 track in three versions, main, mix and reprise. this 4th release in the series might very well be the biggest so far with a upbeat track that is build on a romantic classic groove and with a precise arrangement. slowly building and creating tension is what john daly can do like no other. this is a precision bomb with a devastating effect when an expert pilot drops it at the right moment

it is about time for a record from label founder dario zenker. dont ask why it took so long, but be sure it wasnt the last one. and what a record this is, after several great releases on labels like vakant, harry klein records or time to express, dario’s debut on his own imprint is another example for his unique and mature sound. his studio just as his music has grown over the years. 10 am sounds like an earthquake, raw and dirty, it builds up so much energy that even babensham starts to shake. farrel on the other side is best described as deep break beat techno. it shows the diversity of darios productions and diversity combined with a certain signature is a great mix in our opinion. so enjoy it or not, dance or put your hands in your pockets, share some love or be a hater, no matter what we like u.

prompt has been producing electronic music since the mid 90s and during this time has made a string of outstanding eps, some of which have even won awards. but who exactly is this man from madrid: prompt? to stand on a stage and party for hours in his own world is not prompts style. he would rather sit in the background of his studio and create unforgettable and ever more fascinating tunes. his debut ep on highgrade set the tone for his convincing mix of sound design and subtle hooks. these are also the most important elements for his new highgrade release. in >sharing sounds< its all about deepness. expressed through dense loopy forests and deep broken valleys. you have to engage in the sound experience and see the world prompt has built for you. few other techno producers have such a distinctive style or unique voice. with this ep you could be blindfolded on the dance floor and you would still recognize the music. the sound will convince you once again, both in the club and on the turntables at home.

nile delta is dancefloor wizard joel dickson, former member of riot in belgium and current member of cutters dynamic-duo, voltage. having spent the past year neck-deep in other peoples music – it was only a matter of time before this, nile deltas debut ep emerged, shimmering, from the water. channel sounds like a late 70s house party. except the house is actually a warehouse and the late 70s are actually the early 90s. an almost paradoxical blend of filtered piano stabs, party whistles, endless delays, a squelching acid lead, horns, bendy-breakdowns, you name it. channel sounds like moodymann at his rawkus best. no party will be complete without this house gem. all this on the flip, sees cut copy bassist ben browning provide an otherworldly vocal hook over nile deltas inescapable rhythm. and the crawling baseline will have your hips doing obscene things. guaranteed. remixes include longtime favourites chicken lips, who take their invincible track record on an italian holiday – and tornado wallace who takes us deep, deep into the night.

piemonts newest release on mbf is in tune with their new more house flavoured trax and twists it slightly.smoking cave conveys new jack feeling with cool vocals meeting each other... clashing nicely and creating a super funky rhythm, incorporated in their own piemont groove. the track is as multicoloured and multidimensional as it possible can be, genre bending, cool, combining so many elements of different genres... it explodes on the dance floor. house djs as well as minimal djs will like these house chords and ascending strings, in the best wild pitch manner.
