the make up the break up is the first release on bruno pronsatos own thesongsays label. its the longest track in his catalog (38 minutes), and an even deeper excursion into his stylized harmony. this track was originally a track uncompleted while making, æwhy cant we be like us. revisiting it roughly a year ago, bruno began to reword it. what began as simple attempt to create an ep track out of it became a monster. what monster you ask? in a few words, the monster that is brunos love of musicality and sound design. muscially speaking, we are on a ride somewhere between a slithery house track and a drugged out night out in chelsea, new york in the 60s - and thats a good thing because we get the entirety of the ride: the ups, the downs, the clouded mentality, the broken heart and perhaps the mended one. its happy, its sad - its something that you can dance to, but most importantly, its music that we think you can revisit for many years, as it somehow reflects us, our lives. a playful and extended journey through love and disaster, or at least the soundtrack to it.

portuguese based social disco club (aka humberto matias) delivers some laid back mediterranean spiced disco groove. >the way you move< sleeks along with sultry keys, latin groove, lazy percussion and all the flavour of an early-evening island vista. maia adds his tastefully high catchy vocals to round off the vibe. up on the edit is our pal greg wilson who re-jigs like only he can, creating a more floor based mix. the original is all about the great vocals whilst new norwegian disco-don diskjokke gives us his late 80s balearic sounding re-rub.. its ibiza 88 all over again.. drop the deal friends

dan quin has spent the last 10 years of his life mapping & mastering the animal & natural world of his promised land, the bottom of the earth, the south pole, antarctica, >the end of the world<ùand apparently producing some of the newest in dark analog driven techno & house. determined to create what he called >an artistic testament to the great antarctic expanse,< quin employed the recordings on his 1st 12 inch release, the haunting and epic >at the end of the world.< we can only hope he continues to labor away in his igloo of inspiration, hearing further calls of primitive encouragement and continuing his crusade to bring the beautiful silence of the arctic to our warm & ready earlobes.

big with luciano, peace division, agnes, matt tolfrey, lauhaus, martinez, geddes, anthony collins, lee burridge, mark henning, miss jools,... more supa hot tech house action from some super hot romanian producers. pagal, mihai popoviciu & jay bliss have appeared on various labels and in various combinations over the course of the year, producing eps for the likes of diynamic, immigrant and bang bang (as hermannstadt collective). so, we re mighty proud to feature a couple of their productions on our lil label. >eucalipt< brings the phattness with a deep groove, plenty of percussive elements and a twinkling melody whilst flip side track >melange< delivers more of a b-line focused stomper. we hope you like....

after their last production faith christian pass and johannes team up again for sungod to continue their creative work. on the flip side johannes heil is celebrating life with his track true love. what else needs to be said!? supported by heiko mso, gregor tresher: excellent start for johannes heils new labeb!, toni rios, frank lorber. the same way volcanoes have eruptions, dicks have erections and bloody rivers flow: shit happens naturally! even when im on the toilet, i will not use force to squeeze it out because i know it will flow out anyway. its a state of mind, a way to live and the best description of how the creative process and the decisions of this new playground will take place. we will let it flow and get rid of the shit before it happens! we are not willing to take control, but we love to let things grow naturally.we love music, to play and to live a free life of passion, friendship and harmony.you can expect everything besides a concept label with corporate people creating corporate music. because the concept is to have none, but the heart will release the tunes we really love. no matter which genre you might order them to, of course, we are focused on club music, but still there will be music fit in perfectly to a sunny day on which you are sitting on the balcony having a barbecue with friends and drinking a cool beverage. there also might be a tune you can get laid to for the first time in your life. we dont create images, we dont believe in heroes - but we believe in you and ourselves. the most important place for us is the soul - the spot where it all is happening. so let us start with our two favourite tracks for the summertime.

starting with the first note of >abc< mr. ho s warm beats are melting into our erdrums, down our spine, sending shots of musical temptation into our legs that give one clear order: dance!

the chile house connection continues to sling the dopest stuff to our floors, barely satisfying the constant craving of dancers and punters worldwide for the highly addictive mixture of salacious latin polyrhythmics and organic afro inspired drum sounds with universal electronic 4/4 beats. cut and wraped up neatly by chile born and fastly rising don felipe valenzuela and swiss expat dani casarano, this duo continues with this heated 3 tracker to further cement their reputation from earlier releases on fumalab as a highly combustible combination: elastic compulsively grooving house beats are intervowen with latin-american call and response vocals in >otra vida<, the fittingly titled >push< constantly builds up the pressure even in the breakdowns with frantic, flamenco style hand clapping and >the little house< with its disco style bassline and the conga driven beat hints at the fruitful marriage of latin, soul and dance music in the melting pot of 70s new york. muy rico!!

you want summer feeling? here it is!morgenklang is presenting their new release >la primera cancion e.p.< on ftw recordings. the story of creativity continues. in this package you will find three varied tracks with spanish guitars, vocals & a grooving feeling. perfect produced from our two head combo morgenklang & a great remix from zdenko grbavac. this release fits perfect for all summer open air events. make sure for yourself to be a part of this groove and take a listen into it...

this release will add to our vinyl catalouge and feature two producers that, by all rights, are becoming household names in the world of underground house music.

this special release is dedicated to detroit dj legend ken collier. his untimely passing touched me personally as he was one of a small few who supported my music and me. because of ken collier, detroit developed a dance scene, which inspired artists & producers to make dance records, which gave birth to techno, which has provided careers for so many of you in the business today. so i dare ask all you techno producers, djs, record labels, record shops, clubs which play techno music and fans of techno to pay respect to ken collier just as you would our other fine music innovators. however, this special compilation isn t about techno, it s about h.o.u.s.e sound - broadcasting it to you from live inside the st-er-eo. this record contains no artist or track listing because i don t want this to be about who made the tracks, track titles, or even who wrote this commentary. this is my personal tribute to him, and how he has motivat ed me to make my contributions to house music. thank you ken collier, for helping me grow, not just as a dj or a record producer, but also as a person. every dj and dance artist here in detroit owes thanks to you for going out into the musical forest, chopping down trees and paving the way for us to build house.

tales from top billin vol. 3: the third and final episode in the tales saga has been a long time coming and here it finally is. the ep is our favorite so far as we got 3 very special tracks from our international friends and another 3 bangers from within our helsinki crew. baltimore club legend dj booman sets it off with an exclusive unreleased version of pick em up, the 1997 club anthem that became one of the definitive records in the genre. the unforgettable chant combined with the all new and bangin beat is bound to wreck any party and until now the only way to hear this was in boomans own sets...

after seeing the banging >red hot< - her first released production - become the all-favorite track on airdrops extraction us compilation, it is a natural step for connie to slip once again into her constar outfit, and release this time her first record, the sunset tribe ep. here, constar does what she does best, take her clan on a ride through different skylines, from the shores of bali in indonesia to the chinese inland mountains. indeed, in sunset tribe the careful listener will hear parts of a kecak ceremony - pronounced keh-chahk , also known as the ramayana monkey chant - a form of balinese musical drama, that roots in a traditional trance-inducing exorcism dance. a piece usually performed by a circle of hundreds of men percussively chanting cak while throwing up their arms, depicting a battle between the monkey vanara and the evil king ravana...
phoenixxx strikes the cord! using elements and melodies of traditional chinese instruments, the pipa, guzheng and erhu, constar takes our journey even further east. allying a bumpy and light-hearted groove to the depth and gravity of the instruments used, constar also offers an exploration into her balanced mind and soul. bringing the witchcraft even further, who better than the craziest wizard-duo electronic music has ever come across, voodeux! celebrating the release of their debut album on mothership, voodeux - aka tanner ross and james watts - create their very own blend of magic potion that no spirit - good or bad - could resist. simply spellbinding and savage, voodeux know the cerebrums fluids inside out, and will work them through their supernatural enchantments!

originally released in 1995, remixed by olivier verse in 2003 to satisfy all our raving needs!

rick wade - first darkness the third release on our new born vinyl only sublabel that twists us arround these days like nothing else in this world. after the tremendous sucess of of ricks debut on laid 01 intelligence which had been a great kick off for our new imprint we couldt help but wonder: where we all in fact just dating the same person over and over again? but anyways here is just another wonderful record of one of our all time favourite producers mr. rick wade. as you can sense from the title rick wade once more employs some of his darker signature synths lines in the main track that provide a glorious sparkle of sublime athmosphere

tim green first appeared on dirtybird with >revox<, one of our favorite releases. this time around he delivers another set of dirtybird club gems. >kitch in< has an incredible breakdown and i have been playing it for months. the music speaks for itself so i hope you enjoy it. claude vonstroke

second installment from our man down under mic newman, with his follow up single on dirt crew mic proves once again what a great and diverse producer he his. after his first digital only release on our label that was more on the techie side he drops some quality tech and deep house on this one. backed up with our new berlin house star till von sein and germanys hottest remixers afrilounge this ep is bound to set off ! we also present you a very nice remix from his homie lewie day who also made a great groovey remix of the aries ... more quality house music from dirt crew!

tensnake has been hamburgs best-kept secret. has been! past 12inchs for labels like radius, mirau (which he co-runs) or his gorgeous >keep believin< three-tracker for endless flight speak louder than words. on top he delivered all these nice remixes for the likes of junior boys ( fm÷ is theee one), sally shapiro or more recently toby tobias on rekids. firmly rooted in new yorks sweaty boogie dreams and with a soft spot for dazzling house music, >in the end< stays true to tensnakes juicy techniques and pleases our friends and colleagues (radio slave, robet dietz, prins thomas, gilbr, mark e) alike. we start off with a courageous house tune that has all the qualities of an a-side and concisely defines the dilemma of lovers: in the end someone always has to cry. but as long as it sounds like a cutty ranks rocket launcher, we want test it. the other side of the medal features >holding back my love< a slow-motion disco robot bomb with a crooning tensnake on the mic that makes everyone feel happy like they should. finally, >thethenunknown< somehow melts the moodiness of early factory records (think a certain ratio with a little finger exercise) with the atmosphere of kenneth dixon jr.s >misled< - one for the heart, soul and your headphones. at least, gerd feels and thinks like that. speaking of feelings. if downloads are your thing, you can get the digital bonus track >can you feel it< at all the usual spots. how is that for a change? this guy aint a blindschleiche

back once again, all ears to the rescue... we ve got our hands on a limited amount of upfront copies of the latest ep on dave switch taylors dubsided label! new signings savage skulls come through with a double header of typically hefty club tackle bumps is an addictive old school meets new tricks rave up, while flabanco horses around with some favela flavours.

the latest gigolo release is one for the summer! aptly titled hot it comes courtesy of ivano coppola and christian prommer, the former being one of italia s most respected dj s and the latter being, amongst other things, one of the main collaborators for hells critically acclaimed album teufelswerk. taking a sample from willie ninjas classic record hot and building a track around the chords and the vocal leads us to our starting point ivano coppola plastic mix!
ivano coppola has been the resident dj at milan s plastic club since 1992, so it is fair to say that he knows what works on a dance floor, or, to use a popular phrase, what is hot and what is not. it is with this historical knowledge that we find the genesis of our track. i found it necessary to go back in the past, to start producing once again in a 90 style - using samples. the next step was to come back into the future and reach out to christian prommer, highly respected by many including ivan i consider (christian prommer) one of the best producers of the moment! he loved the idea, the remix was huge, and so we decided to co-produce the record. simple!!!
but, for christian this was more then a remix, hence the co-production credit! i liked the idea of translating an early 90 s house-music-sample in to a sample-style-percussive-techno-tune. lots of live played drums and percussion in this one, of course. i only later learned that the sample we used is from one of my house music heroes, maws louie vega. naturally the record found its way into the hands of gigolo in the best way possible, and in the tradition of such a great record label – i played it at the gigolo night in munich and hell came to me dancing and took the tune into his heart.

we are very excited to present the first release on brand new label doppler records and it comes courtesy of jacksonville, an artist who continues to delight & surprise in equal measure & who delivers quality tracks every time. the trix ep is an eclectic 3 tracker which showcases jacksonvilleÆs versatility. it ranges from analogue synth-driven deep tech to smile inducing disco-fueled deep house & cheeky, bass-heavy tech house. doppler records is a new underground label releasing the very best in house music. their aim is to bring our sound to the dance floor without sacrificing groove, melody, warmth or originality. jacksonville co-founded uk labels advance & sensei, producing & remixing tracks for both labels & appearing on many compilations, most notably sashaÆs global underground ibiza mix. after leaving the labels he took a bit of a break, then returned as mecanique, putting out tracks on plastic city, toolroom trax, district of corruption (berlin) & slave recordings. jacksonville is the latest project.

our elusive producer delivers 4 tracks of slow jams, heated up to house tempos. this is a big step up: harold melvin & the blue notes be for real, one way something in the past, phillip bailey children of the ghetto, isaac hayes chef sings.

a carl craig production!!! here is the 1st extract taken from night music, etienne jaumet new album to be released end of september. etienne is the keyboard player of zombie zombie. this man is breathing music. you have to catch him live to see how involved he is in his music. almost possesed. when i heard his album a while ago, i asked carl craig to make some production, which he accepted and made a job above our expectations! he pushed the level of psychadelism to the max! entropy is one of them. cosmic dark obssesive - a meeting between ashra temple, can and liaisons dangeureuses. tr 808, vintage synths...lets go for a ride... for the remix, christian vance, an australian producer who released recently a brillant track on rippertons label perspectiv has done a great job, changing the tune into a mental techno ride...we only released one mix, but check the digital platforms for more unreleased versions...

phoniques unique vision of house music is continued with the next exciting release on his ladies & gentlemen imprint. serving as a teaser and a taster for the forthcoming >time for house< album, this ep holds three new and exclusive cuts. the album will feature these three lovely numbers, plus more hot new material from phonique, tigerskin, rubini and more. as the name suggests, >time for house< is an open-armed welcome into the blissful, warm and groovy, timeless house sound of l & g! dessous and poker flat key artist vincenzo has his say on the a side, with a long extended cut that gently builds lashings of tension and early morning drama with its deep stabbing push and open, floating breaks. as if we were soaring on the airy breeze of a warm summers evening, or raising our hands at an essential openair in berlin, >return of sha< captures that super elated feeling perfectly. vincenzo refines his sound once again, and marks a beautiful moment for the dancefloor, but also for more relaxed situations. fellow berliner tigerskin aka dub taylor aka alex kr³ger continues the summery, frozen-moment vibes with >too hot<. simple and classic synth hooks combine and layer to describe a chilled house jam that oozes positivity and good times. well known for his many aliases and wide variety of production styles, this track will not disappoint the deephouse heads out there, but will also please fans of his impeccable sound design and tasteful melodic abilities. belgiums kolombo aka olvier gregoire sends off the b side in style with his captivating classic deep dancefloor house exploration named >next dream<. wonderful, organic house sentiments meet characteristic percussion in this wonderfully sequenced conclusion to the ep. gregoire is by no means a newcomer, with countless releases and remixes under his belt, and the warmer-weather vibes of >next dream< works wonders as always!

hailing from the musical mecca of austin, texas, and following up their brilliant debut album from last year, which featured in our year end top 10, with this already hugely lauded sophomore effort. recorded by the band in their infamous studio/trailer, wailing fuzz guitars, soulful, yearning, emotive vocals, and one of the tightest rhythm sections going provide the currency in which this unique power trio explore their brilliant, unexpected and wide ranging musical ideas. an entirely original, sprawling combination of sixties rock touchstones, free form jazz jamming, and a defiantly post punk spirit, and all performed with a precision, and vibrant intensity not often found on record.

incl. marek hemmann remix!

te amo is a forgotten gem originally released on the volumex label back in 1993 and then licensed to the legendary vc records in the u.k. with mixes from john digweed. this was a huge anthem back in the early 90s full of balearic passion and happiness which is often missing in todayÆs music. but lets not get carried away in the memories of the past and check out these brand new mixes. in fact, the record makes a fine return to todays scene thanks to brilliant interpretations from two of our favourite djs/producers out there: hotly tipped paolo mojo and tapesh.to round off one pretty nifty package, the original caliente mix is enclosed also. and this still sounds as relevant today as it did almost two decades ago. a blast from the past indeed! very similar to releases on record labels like cr2, defected and toolroom.

nice price deal !!! (incl gregor tresher / lemon popsicle rmxs) our next release relieve ep comes from darko esser, owner of wolfskuil records and with releases on josh winks ovum and dj yellows pousezz! records.

passionate, uncompromising, resolutely underground. a few words to describe the work and career to date of swedens finest real techno exponent, grovskopa. masterminding two high-calibre labels with frequent appearances on other imprints of repute, whilst giving a voice to the techno community through the nursery forum, he is clearly one of the harder working producers around. >make tomorrow< is the next chapter in his tale for the label, following the hotly anticipated and well received prologue of sect 2. >atopic< creates dense and intimate atmospheres, overlaid with a reflective, introspective key structure, culminating in the most poignant & moving of melodic sequences. >skinstrumental< bridges the void between tracks, speaks of the space between stars as our minds turn to thoughts of galaxies and nebulae, the spirit of detroit radiating like a supernova.>the fierce hug< completes the aural triptych, by contrast offering a more upbeat, playful yet no less desirable option for the more creatively diverse techno mix

dancefloor specialists shadow sync are back with their new release on krd.focus is a classic techno tune with a modern touch: after the quite inoffensive intro the rhythmic texture gets more and more complex until our beloved tr909 seizes absolute power over the intricate weave of abstract sounds.
dominion is built around a bewitched synth sequence which gets even more poisonous after the drop. dance to it but donÆt touch it! itÆs very very dangerous!

yeah, our favourite b boy house band soultourist is back with old strength! the fo eva ep is a timeless beauty with different shades. the title track is a booty bouncing dubhouse tune, which is reducing to the max to let the bassline and the beatz shine. wild catz is definitely bringing back memories to their 2007 hit turn loose and with televised they are expressing their peaktime moments. gruber & nuernberg from germany delivered a serious remix of fo eva and you can be sure that this one will be big for fans of the new german house movement. all in all its just a great work and they can certainly be proud of their originality...

this release is a very special one for us… indeed, roskow kretschmann has been for years one of the music makers that surprised us constantly and teased our appetite, displaying his rich musical background inside of projects like jazzanova, kosma or sygaire. the tracks selected by dairmount (after hours hanging out in roskows sound lab over the years) are genuinely outstanding in his entire discography. they sound like no others and reveal rare aspects of his >musical persona<. this is why they are representing perfectly our quest for >hybrid club music< crossing the lines of the original spirit of house & techno. the ep opens with the futuristic techno soul of the time is now. perfectly named, the tune fuses with class, dusty jazz samples, obscure soul vocals, juicy claps and overwhelming detroit techno keys. the result is a timeless club monster for the deepest moments. the second track that blasted us is mono:poly rightly shaped for audacious djs that enjoy to play >special< things. the track is supported by a solid programming as fellow beatmakers like mark pritchard, recloose or kenny dope originated in the 90s, mixed with biting analogue pressure, crazy batucada elements & a magic breakdown for all the lucky ones that will play it in the sunrise this summer. and last but not least, one of the label mavericks, marlow created a hell of a remix by delivering a 10 minutes techno epic that would make our detroit godfather c2 blush of satisfaction. thanks to all of them for the fantastic music

support by charles siegling (technasia), daniel sanchez, renato figoli, jonas kopp, ade fenton!!superfat release for the motor of dmom which now runs on 10000 rpm! one of the best technotunes of last year from dee green now finally found the way on our vinyl and alex bau delivered a superb tech-remix for the track as it was his definite highlight in 2008.

vlad caia, a young romanian living in norway, with his wide range of influences are worn as true colours in his music. his demo was thrust into our hands by one of his fine colleagues, and now finally we can bring his debut platter for horizontal. as you will hear its a bright start for vlad at horizontal, he brings us two charming pieces of upfront house, chango with its cuban overtones and incessant groove calling all at the party. johnny frisco on the other hand has its own low deep funk flavor. both tracks nevertheless are proving to be a favourite of chefs such as tobi neumann, locodice, onur ozer, raresh, josh wink and of course dinky & matthew styles. we hope you enjoy as much as we do this summers release for horizontal!
