pierre lx is a french deep house producer based in london. he had graced our first initial + release with his melancholic wonder madeleine . to start off 2009, we are offering his first proper 12inch release on initial cuts, with 2 deep cuts in true circa 95 old school chicago style. influenced by the sound of artists such as ron trent or chez damier, and labels like balance/prescription, pierre grants us with the sunny sketch drive , and percussion led gabita . 2009 is not looking that dark after all! also, we have asked old school/new school us house legend dj jus-ed to produce a remix of sketch drive . the result is a deep housers dream track, pure us style deepness.

after the classically inspired, yet devilishly modern tech-house statements on his last e.p for dessous, comes this too-hot-to-trot release from uk young blood burnski. building on the solid, no-nonsense aesthetics of his previous work he presents his unique vision of today‘s club sound. quite the picture of current hybrid trends, between old vs new, ‚draw your sword‘ infuses classic chicago jackin‘ beats with a soaring, building anthemic hook. the track builds insistently with a tough, pushing house flavour yet reminds us not to get too carried with a tense and teasing breakdown structure. smart stuff that‘ll have you reaching for the rafters, in a moment of freshly spun dance music euphoria. ‚sleep‘, on the flip side maintains burnski‘s clear love of the deep, jacking grooves of our american cousins, painting a vivid and bold picture of modern, teched-up soulful house music. an irresistible nu-jazz-house riff slides between the silkily sharp drum accents, building throughout and once again providing the dancefloor with some serious moments of tension and joyous resolve.

stuart li aka basic soul unit is no unknown in the game, but hes new to our camp. after following his output for some time now, we finally could sign two tracks of his raw and edgy techno for philpot. >dank< is a growing piece of pure space funk! resonating basslines and banging drums collide with twisted arpeggios, fall apart and rise again… caused mayhem when tested out! >the stand< starts with some oldschool flavoured breaks to shuffle its way into bleepy heavens of acid-infected wildpitch craze! people, we must rise up from our graves! zeitlos, wie man bei uns sagt

after the success of >disco trix vol. one< hardgroove continues the party vibes with trix vol. two, yet more familiar classics are wacked thru the sampler by mr ben and pumped up for peaktime useage in true hardgroove fashion. this ep features 2 different mixes of >dollar bill y all< as we couldn t decide of the definative version so lazily put both on, >reject 2< which was commissioned as a remix for spain s >dj nuke< but unused and >in the middle< which in our humble opinion is the finest slice of disco fromage sims has created so far

under his raudive alias, oliver ho has created a trademark blend of future forward house and techno that has been the sound to some of the greatest moments on our favourite dancefloors over the last couple of months. recently labels like cocoon, drumcode and pokerflat were blessed to release superb pieces by raudive and he created enthusiasm all accross the board from ricardo villalobos to sven väth. for his macro debut he moved a step further: the cone ep with its 3 cuts of twisted house brings some serious madness to the club: raudive’s signature beats get a strong jazz infusion with bits of saxophone and an out-of-control piano spinning around the pumping bassline. crazy all the way while delivering a maximum of dancefloor appeal.

the running back sports team is glad to welcome two new players to its roster. dplay and whiz kid manuel tur (see also his brilliant ribn stuff) have caused a great stir with a bouquet of 12-inches for outfits like zurichs beloved drumpoet community or the compost black label as well as knocking out well-made remixes. for instance, their work on kiloos the passion is just adorable. here we have them melted into one organism called dplay, while mtur moves in silence (or in the production credits, if you please). stretching out on the a-side, huub sand is not only a tribute to two of schalke 04s greatest gentlemen, but a prime-example of cavernous, stoic and infective house those two (no not the schalke guys) had quite an impact on. initially planned to come with a remix by the mighty radio slave (please look at cat-no. 012 to see what became of that), our coach could convince the duo to hand out two rather atypical, nonetheless bloodcurdling tunes instead: tschaka kicks some deep dub disco houz styles of the highest orders with riot-like effects on your mind, body & soul. finally, schroulé is a claustrophobic corker, if we have ever seen one. should be the perfect sound track for padded cells and the up-and-coming remake of mel brooks frankenstein. these ruhrpott kids are alright!

a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented
