this time, doctor pepp and doctor hugg investigates the secrets behind the pappas mechanism that is the source of the love explosion. in the 2007 report >pappa love mechanism and it social economic studies< we have tried to cover the whole process from the first eye contact on the dancefloor to the sucessful stimuli of ollon and completion of the explosion. it is reported that at least 52 sucessful explosions inside the mamma during 2007 (percentage of error 3.45%) where produced under assistance of the special hugg & pepp frequency spectrum in our test envrioments. we are very proud to present this spectrum in two separate files, the pung spectrum and the ollon spectrum, each one being specially designed to meet the high level criterias of today. the pung spectrum has a base frequency of about 75.5 hz for wich most pungs will be mostly efficient. how ever, this special spectrum has such a rich and joyful tonal range making contact on the dancefloor under influence of alcohol is no longer necessary

kontra-musik 006 moves the label into the analog domain of electronic dance music. this kind of sound you only get with the good old analogues. the a-side, produced by the master of the modular system, pseudonym scaff, takes us deep down our favorite techno memory lane. if techno was the meeting of kraftwerk and george clinton in an elevator, ssm 440 is the outcome of jeff mills and maurizio having breakfast at tiffanys. this track is warm, dubby and monotonous but with a drive heading straight for the late night dance floor. the b-side gives us two unique sounding tracks from pseudonym aparatus. city tunnel slowly and elegantly grinds, cranks and turns while building its way towards dance floor bliss. x-presso is best described as periodic fluctuations of voltages in the analog domain. elegant details of beautiful sound take us back to the time when minimal music still was interesting. this is >techno< in the sense that the term was originally intended. enjoy cause analog is the bastard

new bell is a stone cold classic piece of afrobeat that only appeared on 12 inch on an extremely rare dutch pressing and is a big play for everyone from masters at work (who made a pretty nice remix a while back) to gilles peterson. quite simply if you have any interest at all in african dance music you need this record. the flipside cut yoyo was only on a very rare french 7inch to our knowledge, this lesser known piece of afro disco really does get the party shaking its collective rump and sounds super fat on 12 inch for the first time
