next up on the infamous rhythm convert label we have mladen tomic who is fresh in our memory because of his great release on loose records! with a touch of the italian sound and vibe this is a great dancefloor orientated release. wicked basslines and cool edits do the work. off course we have labelboss tom hades stepping in for the uptempo techno remix!

if you are looking for something that is bite sized, but with huge flavor, then you best try out our >bite sized beats vol. 2<. i m sure you will find that it is extremely satisfying and many levels. there are many more of this series to come, so keep some room in the fridge for some of this future fried funk.

heres the next installment of our edit series. although is it an edit - can you spot the samples and who or who actually did it (if indeed it is an edit) ? limited edition run of 500 copies on clear vinyl.

once again, berlin based resopal label head mri sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes. weakend-polka titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced house / funk music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you will ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. this is electric intergalactic soul/funk/house/techno. its noir, its dirty, its dangerous and risqu. on vinyl, as we like our little record-shop around the corner.

played by dj karotte !!! sammys debut on goodvibe records is an interesting and solid debut. 5 tracks, 4 on vinyl and 1 bonus digital, made with a strong >dance< attitude inside. inspiration came to sammy from his daily life. bad things do happen. how we respond to them define the quality of our life. sammys strengths as a producer is the way he employs everything he does in service of a deep and groovy mood. one can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of everyday losses, or can choose to rise from the pain and treasure life as it is.

jenifa mayanja, respected new york dj, producer and owner of bu-mako recordings, steps into the altered moods collective for an exciting two cut vinyl release, >desire more<. the first side slides into a subtle groove with voices and synthy keys over a beat itching to get you on to the dance floor. then a variety of warm melodies join in, bubbling and be-bopping onto the main cut, a collusion of claps, beats and riffs. jenifa comes back and leads us to a saucy clarinet that could be rehearsing in the next room, unaware of our presence. yet it echoes the feel of the piece, dancing away from and back to the rhythm.

on the new vinyl >african village< we welcome another new musician with alex rath to our meleon family. further two new projects we also celebrate on this vinyl - one is ordinary subject which have their debut release with a stunning remix for alex raths >african village<. the second one on the b2 is another debut and a secret project from danjel esperanza, which is called secret loveday.

sven is back! it seems like ages ago since we heard some fresh music from the always-reliable mr. weisemann on mojuba. still having his acclaimed tunes like vibe, lets swing, cabana fever and kiss of abana resounding in our ears, are we ready for something new? yes we are! and hear he comes, delivering two kick ass tunes in best mojuba style, but he put also some impressions from his sole exception project for essays music, his old styrax jams as well as his famous xine lp inside. listen closely and you will feel it

its time for the second round of our 50 weapons 10inch series. while volume 1 featured a french/english combination with humanleft and benjamin damage on 50 weapons 5, number 7 is an all american outfit. the a-side offers instrumental hip hop by la based elan (recently featured on modeselektion vol. 01 with his >pussy posse< track) and the b-side features ny based garage/dubstep/uk funky champion and planet mu artist falty dl. style clash galore!

big with: luciano, loco dice, anja schneider, dubfire, laurent garnier, d julz, daniel sanchez, ryan crosson, simon baker, karotte, mathias kaden, danny tenaglia, stephan bodzin, coyu, tim green, julien chaptal, .. jay hazes bearly legal ep was such a success, but with just two tracks, our circle of producer and dj friends were asking us why we didnt release any mixes! well, ask and you shall receive... >no need for loops< was the original eps b-side, but with positive feedback and play from ewan pearson and ellen allien, weve decided this time to let it have the glory of a-side status with a top-notch rework from ilario alicante (cécille, tenax) who combines a busy, pulsating rhythm with the lulling undercurrent of melody for a hypnotic effect. >take your hat off< gets the remix treatment in the hands of several adept producers: first shaun reeves (wolf + lamb) and duo tale of us (barraca music) team up for a sly, seductive version, while amam label boss alessio mereu offers a punchy, revved up take to give the 12inch some welcome contrast.

special repress / backstock of this 2001 defected release with remixes by brian tappert and mr. g.

midi meets part 4 – this time we team up with our friends from belgium and netherlands from q-ics fanatix label. another doublepack of full-force primetime techno which will hit you as hard as you need it!

once again we present the official army of hardcore anthem on our label this year!
>army of hardcore< is one of the biggest german hardcore events, taking place on the 25th of december 2010 in oberhausen (turbinnehalle) with 6 different areas.
for this years anthem masters of noise and the beat controller (still in everyones ears with his current release: droppin heat) combined forces and engaged mc tha watcher for the vocals. this is hardcore at its best!

pional takes things in stride. and we like that. despite the enthusiastic response towards >a moot point<, his debut on our label, he has kept it low. locked in his studio, with his mic and his machines, recording non-stop but being extremely picky about what he chooses to release. thats why we are a tremendously thrilled about introducing you to >we have been waiting for you<, a song that has been blowing us away since the first time we heard it.

at least some vinyl goodness from lunice courtesy of our friends at luckyme. this is playful futuristic beat music that screams instant hit but if you dig deeper there is alot going on underneath its glossy surface. every track is a winner to top it all off there is a remix from our man rustie. this is most certainly a record you should spend some time with.

well rounded are extremely excited to announce the imminent unleashing of the 2nd instalment in our r&b refix special series. ladies and gents - cash antics vol 2. this time round we bring you 4 separate artists take on remaking r&b in their own inimitable ways. first up deadboys >fireworks< edit has elicited a massive response already on forums and blogs, its simple house framework lending extra soul, gravity and impact to the beautiful vocals and piano. incredibly effective and affecting stuff. on track 2 gongon & bad autopsy (ptn / ramp) showcase their stripped back luminous garage informed sound on >mag (remix)<. the contrast between the bare bones beat, warm sub tones, hovering chords and earnest vocal make this a highly addictive tune. watch for future releases from these guys. flip the plate for skinnz and his steamy half-step selection >turn u on<. already a regular feature in deadboy dj sets, this wastes no time in seducing the listener with a breathless panting vocal riding a bumping beat, bouncing bass and sweaty synth work. this tune is hot and heavy! finally gatto viola & doc daneekas >backstabbin angie< wraps things up with nakedly emotional vocals riding a uk funky updated take on a classic 70s philly soul groove. a natural closer for a fantastically varied ep united with a common purpose - to drop honey-dipped r&b voices and vibes into the epicentre of new uk bass music fusions.

winter its a cold season. we still remember the beautiful summertime. holidays, beaches, cocktails & unforgettable sunsets. thats still in our minds. but dont worry. zdenko grbavac is bringing us these feelings back. his new ftw017 >aaevum ep< is the perfect memory. nice & warm chords with dreamy guitars let us lost in our thoughts. and no one else as chymera and the ftw homeboys morgenklang can supplement better this atmosphere with some brilliant remixes.

after one year standbite music comes back with their 5th release with colaborations such as the great brazilian artist dj lukas and his track >hungry<, another unquestionable from spanish techno scene dj nuke present us >the woman in red< and for sure our own brand with >take a ride< darkrow and the expected >bowman< by fatima hajji.

och pops up on baby fords pal sl imprint after a solid debut on autoreplys offshoot stuga musik. although the producer behind the och pseudonym remains mysterious for now, his early productions have garnered support from such esteemed figures as ame, norman nodge, gerd janson, dj sneak and anthony shake shakir, and this latest 12 inch is, in our humble opinions, ochs best yet. the standout track here hogs the entirety of the a side, with >bombay bedbath< characterised by some beefy drums and a drowning, late night soul vocal which complements the rolling groove. flip over for two wonderful b side obscurites, namely the rich ambient textures of >interlude intuitive< and twinkling piano lines and moody atmospherics of >out of key in<.

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.

for our 26th release we welcome back producer & dj alex celler. greek by right, but a londoner by choice he is causing a stir with his energetic and intense house sounds, full of swing, tribal rhythms & deep basslines. first acquiring international success in the spring of 2009 with the release of la palma (area remote) which became one of the years biggest dancefloor tracks and one of ras most charted tunes - the last twelve months has seen an amazing run of productions from alex celler.
he is back again with two dancefloor slammers, hot-off-the-press from his london studio.

sea power & change is a pseudonym for seminal portuguese producer tiago, a multi-talented musician and dj with his attention split between many musical endeavors, this self-titled ep marking his departure into yet another territory. these are four melancholic songs, each independent in mood yet collectively bringing to life a beautifully vague array of contradictions. with sea power & change, tiago taps into our perverted subconscious, developing a cinematic approach by coupling tragic pianos with slow-motion basslines, slinky guitars against industrial drums and grandiose synthesizers over tropical percussion, all bathed in pornographic overtones

vinyl only release!! 50th anniversary release dedicated to all of philpot artists, friends and supporters helping to gain this reputation of a proper freestyle label over the years! this double vinyl only compilation features some of our artists, present and future, but covers every musical aspect that philpot is about.

mitzi are a 4 piece of awesomeness made up of dominiqe bird, jad lee, charlie murdoch and cale suesskow. they all hail from australias most laidback and sunny city brisbane. some people call it brisvegas because its sexy too. after playing in various killer bands such as bmx (2009 unearthed parklife winners), comic sans (2010 unearthed st jeromes laneway festival winners), charlie why! (recent bang gang 12 inches signing) and the gallery kiss all the dudes have united to create some genuinely exciting australian music. the three tunes on >all i heard< fuse the sounds of garage disco, nyc indie and the light heartedness of australian pop. jono ma (lost valentinos, tracy thorn, teenagers in tokyo) mixed the record at ewan pearsons studio in berlin and made all those trumpets, snares, keys, whispers and vocals sound ridiculously tight. future classics history has always been rooted in bands and were pretty stocked to be getting back into it. plus its our 50th release!

2000 watt take any number of watts, in our case 2000, add a few tasteful sounds, refines the whole with a driving bass, and at the end rounded with a grandiose arrangement. brian sanhaji realized it perfectly in his track >2000 watt< and asked to table. fucking shot the b-side, as is known, the quieter part. >fucking shot< is not. rather, we have another highlight of the techno genre. attemporal proves with his track, that a certain hardness in music, fullfil the feeling on the dancefloor.

christmas is a time for people to come together. in that tradition, desolat celebrates a year packed full of music, with the second yearly christmas label sampler: a showcase of inspiring heavyweights alongside fresh talent from two continents, wrapped up in a big shiny bow. while last years christmas vinyl sampler was red, this years sampler will be blue: simply a beautiful sounding item in our favourite music format. all artists featured on the sampler have released music on desolat previously: some as special guests, some as cherished label staples. legendary chicago producer dj sneak jumps into the fray with a contemporary salsa-kissed house jam at a strapping pace, taste-making french don franck roger similarly digs deeps with the agile burner >egotrippin<. desolats taste for dancefloor atmospherics is further exemplified by loco dices stripped back and frisky track >dont make signal<, and martin buttrichs playful >roads<. livio & roby, premiesku, yaya and guti & audiofly also contribute their own takes on the desolat sound: with crunchy, sample-flecked grooves aplenty. its been a watershed year for desolat, with a super-wide variety of singles, remixes and long players by artists such as pulshar, ricardo villalobos, thomas melchior, marco passarani and der räuber & der prinz: musical explorations of submarine-worthy proportions. we are excited to see what 2011 will bring… stay tuned

born in chile but raised in sweden, alexi delano, with fellow swedes like cari lekebusch, adam beyer, jesper dahlback, joel mull and others, became part of some of the first wave of swedish electronic music producers that made a name for themselves in the mid 90s, releasing on techno labels such as plus8, missile, primate, hybrid, svek and many more. his style dwells in the perfect balance between shiny minimalism and dark vivasious techno, which is exactly what you can expect from his brand new ep for leena >un do me<. as a long term friend of mobilee, and also an artist who’s productions fit well with many of our artists dj styles and tastes, its a great pleasure to finally release one of his productions on leena. both tracks on the ep >un do me< and >watch out< come with a powerful punch and high energy. with more than two decades on the stage, hes an artist that is certainly showing no intentions of slowing down. we hope you enjoy this!

the ep reminds us why we love techno so much, fans of mills, hood, dehnert and dettmann will adore. a perfect cross over between detroit and berlin signature sound.!! the title track hits us with a heavy metallic stab which quickly lock us into the groove as the underlying bass tones start to twist and turn our bodies without self control into a must have dancefloor friendsy an essential chord-driven deep techno cut, keeping it minimal yet packed full of funk.

here we go again! driving forces recordings is proud to announce another great release by our friends chris hope & andre walter, who again shared forces to create 2 pure and evil techno tracks. the original version of >i take< is a super long & hypnotic tune with great and endless rising synths. this is pure peaktime madness for crowded club nights.
the remix comes from nobody less than naples uprising superstar sasha carassi. with releases supported by the ones like adam beyer, alan fitzpatrick, joseph capriati, len faki and countless others, sasha stands for quality in every respect. no question that he delivered a real bomb here too in his very special & unique trademark big room style.
>collateral damage< is another brutal piece of music in the typical way only andre walter is able to do. with all its rawness this track perfectly reminds on his early days and works with frankfurt based technolegend chris liebing. this is simply sick! be aware!all tracks were heavy road tested for months now and are 100% club smashers for sure!

support from oxia, rodriguez jr, radioslave, josh wink, dj koze, laurent garnier, seth troxler, joris vorn, jennifer cardini, dixon, claude vonstroke... two friends who have known each other for many years, who have often shared the same stage and recently enlightened our summer workshops at la carrière, who trade deeply-felt lyrics and singing for singular and refined productions and who delivered infinés finest electronic rhymes. after >silently<, clara called mimu again for >deer & fox<, the vocal pop wonder of >polyamour<. this fall infiné has invited forward-thinking remixers to work on clara s stems for four new opportunities to play the track. deep and introspective, the troublemakers of dop have kept the classy original textures, slowed down cleverly the bpm to carrying mimus voice into a bubble of euphoric bleeps. pampered by derrick may, juan atkins or kevin saunderson, stacey pullen offers the clubbers a one-way ticket into his time machine. right back at the heydays of the detroit second generation. terribly old school and consequently incredibly efficient on the floors. widely praised for their recent intrusions on the very respected karaoke kalk label, tolouse low trax on top having a profound liking puns, have turned >deer & fox< into a dizzying after party chorus, adding their own dark and hypnotic sound pallet. offered as digital extension but no less essential to the package, austrian producer ritornell aka richard eigner brings celestial violins and heavenly piano for a shining and delicate rework, which could almost let you forget the original.

supported by orde meikle , chris ward , dubfire , daniel sanchez.... for the third release etichetta nera lands on tourin. our friends from carnival records deliver two house tracks sounding techy and a bit disco witha big drive!

now a full time member of australian super group empire of the sun and 1/3 of the genius of the swiss we honestly dont know how sid found the time to make this heated late night gem. all we do know is arthur russell was integral in his life when he turned it out. echoed moans and whispers, chunky bass line, percussion, arrangement and everything else involved in this 8 minute and 22 second burner are all by the shirtless gentleman of the night you now know as sidwho? session victim is matthias reiling and hauke freer, their house and techno adventures on delusions of grandeur and retreat records have been rinsed out many a time at our future classic parties and all around the world so we knew it was time to get a remix. some guys and gals might think this is too deep or minimal, you just need a bigger sound system!

let be known that this is the 10th and last release on beautiful granville records, as the label will be closing its doors. at conclusion, we are proudly presenting 4 versions of >dusa<, which represents the beautiful soul of the music that we chicagoans have loved and cherished all these years. please join in our celebration of house in this gentle banger with tevo howard, who has great hope that the track will move you timelessly

mzo bullets track >casablanca< has become a sought after underground classic over the last 18 months, so when it landed here as part of our township funk compilation album we thought we would do it justice and give it a full vinyl release. as our friends hot city were jumping around to it when they heard it, we decided to let them loose on the remix. already picking up plays from benji b over at radio 1 plus dj support from the likes of diplo, kissy sellout, doorly and andy george.

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË

imitori is back flom tokyo with another le-edits ep. our favorite old school pioneer leturns with a quartet of dance crashics re-edited for maximum dancefror action. tlied, tested (and found tlue) to lock many an international crub, they have been receibing the gleat feedback on the soundcroud. we are ploud now to rerease them by the popurar demand. for dancing times make it dimitori time

the owl, like its namesake, sits in the shadows. its deep, dubby bassline lazily rolls along, as our franco-italian alliance layer their percussive elements. string stabs usher in the smooth-keyed break, before that weighty bass drops back in. on the flip, txarco brings a sinister, somewhat industrial brand of funk, provided brilliantly by its growling, predatory bassline. as scything sounds, breathy vocals, and a variety of drums rolls lunge from the darkness, and fade just as quickly, we are constantly guarded by our bassline protector.

after the very powerful vinyl releases on martyns label >the bitch/crop duster< and fresh minute smashing hits >rass out< (featuring also on martyns official fabric mix) and >believe in me<, without also not forgetting the 2 consistent digital albums >tenement yard< and >serial vendetta<, we are really excited to release altered natives music on our main label, for us one of the most promising, open minded and prolific artist of the moment, which will easily conquer you with his innovative crossover style between classic house and uk funky.

to celebrate the 20th release we have pressed in glorious blue vinyl.

incl rmxs by sascha dive & s catt!! it seems almost ridiculous to refer to zoe xenia as a label regular, when we are only on release number 12. maybe? but zoe is without a doubt, one of the our key artists. zoe first featured on bass culture with her >let the music play< ep in december last year, and whilst it may have been only our 4th release, it was somewhat of a definitive one..

two big edits here from the italian isoul8 aka volcov, feat. obviously two of the greatest voices on our planet, dancefloor-action guaranteed - enjoy the vinyl!

do you know this uncontrollable hunger to penetrate the grooves with a record needle? well, good news for all vinyl junkies. german based geoff bell shows his unique talent on >the freddy eiser show< ep while he starts off our brandnew series of 12 inch records! his music is excellent dodgy crisp & very authoritative. on the other hand he is combining euphoric, funkiness that is crying out for sunshine-barbeque with tofu burgers.
