after more than one year and a couple of releases on sistrum recordings and morphine records, ksoul is finally back with a new project called kindasoul to launch his new label kinda soul recordings. the first release will be a split alongside scott ferguson who kindly gave the chance to licence these tracks from ferrispark records. the aim of the label is to focus on the deep side of house music without any kind of compromise, trying to highlight some of the best producers around plus some promising newcomers. the concept is also based on reaching out all the people who helped me in the last years to make it real in order to create a sort of worldwide family around our faithfully loved house music. you know who you are... ksoul!

the kat crew returns with release number 6...three more red hot edits from the million dollar disco camp

in the higher reaches of electronic music a new label appears intending to disrupt our habits. proposing an alternative to the stereotyped dance music and the boring minimal - basilic records permits new talents to release their maxies!!

electro/techno cutz produced by d & c clarke

incl killer deetron rmx !! finally, raw fusion’s fbi returns.. and what a killer return… our favorit future beat investigators strike back with lovely deep production

after the big success of our first release on outils du connaisseur, we present the second strike, this time by afrilounge-member liapin. basila is his the first solo release, and all the more an impressive one: two deep and slamming house-tunes, basic but concurrently fond of nitty-gritty. according our outils philosophy these two tracks are genuine strippeddown house cuts for maximum floor impact. basila – a massive, slapping bass, rolling drums and shreds of guitar sounds are the dominating trademarks of this track. once the compelling groove catches you, the hypnotizing vocal in the break will inevitably bewitch you. this is one for both body and soul. black mamba features a bassline so corporal, you almost inclined to give it a social security number.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears! for our 11th release , we decided to bring you guys a brand new track from the italo master of all time: the fantastic beppe loda under the name italowerk. honestly, we were not expecting anything, as he did so much for electronic music already for the past 20 years, resident at the legendary typhoon club in italy (brescia), playing a huge amount of electronic underground tracks that are praised today by clubbers & vinyl fetishists, he created also what we called today afro cosmic. we could sum up his new project just by its name italowerk = kraftwerk meets underground italo. the first track is called sognando that we could translate by dreaming. indeed, this is a very powerfull track, that sounds almost like an italo lost gem (circa 1982) but with an incredible modern feeling, full of crazy electro synths, arpeggios and a terrible kick: an athem!

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

support by 2000 and one, matthias tanzmann, daniel stefanik, anthony collins...on our easy-rider, not only the wheels, also the raver s are burning. back on the house-highway, the journey leads through the a1 district of the ‘wild coyote’ who sneaks up on velvet paws to turn into a grown 4/4 fox by dusk. after this impressive encounter he call out for ‘dixies diner’ because the outlaw mesteno knows one can not nourish on ‘tossed to’ women slip s alone and orders a warm a2 menue to collect strength to chase the horizon with ‘full throttle’ again on the b1 side.

this time metamorphic recordings is in full on boundary pushing mode with a new sound from dan curtin. techno always has been and always will be about taking risks and going where no one has gone before and this ep, facts is right there. modern techno that will work for djs playing the gamut of techno, tech house, house, minimal and more. vocalist jason byers from cleveland based rock band disengage worked side by side with curtin to add a powerful vocal touch to the intense musical journey presented here. to all you djs working hard to keep it real, to move forward, to advance our scene, and to have a voice of your own, this one is made for you!

after several remixes and longtime waiting our artist h.o.s.h. releases his next own ep. and he is back with a real banger! >the valve< sounds connected to steppenwolf, but feels more like a coninue: more modern, more pushing and more groove. like hell! a balkan- flute plays sometimes, but very harmonic to the track. heebie-jeebie! >super sick bowl< is a fantastic groove, too, but a bit more housy like classic recordings. awesome, never boring housebeat spiced with two cool and sick breaks. this loop could run forever. single words work perfect with the beat and provide a stimulating sexappeal. under a fig tree starts more technoid with the sound, but has still a groovy house for 3 minutes til the break - and out of this break a new sound is evolving. on the one this track continues with a warm bass hook, leaving the technoid sounds behind. what a twist! just beautyfull! thanx hosh

after the international hit magenta produced with arias in 2006, and the successful apocalypse produced with norman doray in 2007, arno cost comes back solo with his new bomb: souvenir. with its flying arpeggios and its deep rhythm, souvenir is an invitation to a trip&#133,a trip to our memories. souvenir ep includes also a remix by his first &#145,musicmate&#146, arias, and a remix by mathieu bouthier & muttonheads, two buzzing artists of the moment.

aeroplane and justus koehnke take different roads to paris so we may choose the vehicle that fits our mood best.

in our opinion alex bau is one of the best harder techno producers out there. his material over the last 5 years has been both energetic and groundbreaking. his material for zenit has been particulrly good and this is new release is is no exception. both tracks are different but equally effective. the a side is a driving hard edged techno cut with its pounding kick drum and sharp percssion. the track is punctauted with catchy synth riffs and stabs to great effect. the flip side is truly monstrous with its dark dirty warehouse feel and fat sub bass and string edits. great, great record

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

dutch edit master loud-e drops another piece of hot wax on steve koteys objects of desire label. this is one hot version of the wellknown i feel love which still sets dancefloors on fire worldwide! music that will last longer then we will be able to get our feet of the floor! b-side is a more obscure tracl called tommorows, todays cut. another disco/ house bomb that already have been played by i-f, steve kotey, faze action and several others. sweeeet!

michael and tom push us to the floor, move our feet and feed the brain as well.

another serious result from our warehouse rummaging! si begg is a man of many musical personalities, his list of aliases is impressive to say the least (bigfoot, buckfunk3000, lenny logan, s.i. futures, zygmunt janowski...). but one of his oldest, and certainly one of his strangest, is cabbage boy. in fact i confess i am old enough to remember his releases in the early 90s on cassette tape under the umbrella of the >cabbage head collective< (which also included such techno notables as cristian vogel & tim wright) - and pretty mental they were too. the lost tapes vol. 1 doesnt disappoint on that front, containing such gems as a remix of 80s pop mysteries frank chickens>we are ninja<, and an electronic cover version of >king kong< by frank zappa (ask your parents...). totally out there, but totally cool at the same time...highly recommended to anyone looking for something with some real personality amidst the hard-drives full of faceless (and usually nameless) digital fluff

nice price deal !!! hailing from japan free disco moved to london two years ago and brought with him an ear for deep music. already an accomplished composer, record collector and disco selector when he sent out a demo of his new recordings it wasnt just electric minds that took note but also new yorks rong music where he will release later this year.. the a side >psychedelic symmetry< is a fast paced track made for the dance floor. heavy bass through out which is bound to find favor with the house heads as well as the lovers of the nu disco sound. the b side >hippe can dance with boogie< leans towards the cosmic with a spacey sound accompanied by live bass and keys.for this project we have commissioned our first remix with stevie kotey. kotey chose to remix >hippe can dance with boogie< creating a spacey disco excursion. he has added live percussion, new drums and replayed the synths so the full treatment from one of todays finest remixers

here comes part 2 remixes of ananda projects insanely beautiful let love fly single with another unreleased cosmic straight mix (remix) by body & soul resident joe joaquin claussell, as well as chris branns original early winter mix and nycs own ebar supplying us with an eclectic dub. joe re rubs this tune with a gorgeous melodically luxuriant affair, joes dub mix has been championed at body & soul as well as his vocal mix. chris branns version massages our senses & lovely melodic version made its debut on the recent remix album night blossom. lastly, ebars drummy dub is completely off the wall taking this tune to a whole new level, to infinity and beyond…

already played by troy pierce & magda !! 11am welcomes again one of our favourite afterhour artist, seph from buenos aires (argentina). he offers again one piece of dark and complex musical art. that hooded is the main and most special track on the release. its somekind of break minimal with a fucked up bass and a weird and melancolic melody. its perfect for breaking out a set. arañas opens side b, its the deepest track on the release and offers the typical glitchy sephs style. ivil ends this fantastic record with a funky bass full of clickclakclickclak and all that

rough to the touch, the jt3s latest will sink into your souls, purifying them by breathing in the bad and exhaling out the good. js songs use blues and r n b templates, executed with sweaty, wide eyed energy - and this time, hes added a couple of colours to his rainbow that are blowing our minds, those of dub reggae and ska, which squeeze next to their northern brethren with excellent tightness. you ll be left breathless after a nonet of new songs, all of which address the modern dilemma of identity and faith. vinyl only release - as befits the classic rock and soul sounds.

little bit cranky electro pop with c64 influences

conya returns with a biggie from our swedish friends mr chi & victor sanchez aka groovenauts feat jay tripwire on vocals. they deliver three raw and deep tunes that will be sure winners on the floor.

hot on the heels of her last feel good smash these times, comes kimaras latest jammer far away, with two very distinctive remixes, the first by distant musics jon cutler. one might think we picked jon because of his coincidental label/song title relation, but one would be wrong! we picked jon because his superb production skills. the man behind the worldwide triumph its yours, as well as many others, brings a good bit o bounce to the dance floor on this remix. his lush piano chords, funky percussion, and synth zaps are a perfect bed for kimaras strong vibrant vocals to lay upon. he also turns in a truly slick dub for those looking for a bit less vox. for those looking for more tech, one of our favorite new dance producers out of japan, hideo kobayshi, slings us with a tougher, warpier punch (and dub) that ll get hearts and feet movin in synch.

remixes by kruse & nürnberg, umek & kriece! the fourth installment in our release catalogue comes from label boss stel. plays carl cox, umek, dubfire, smith & selway.

so the track is called >>before i started to dance<<, lisa li lund is singing, chateau flight is producing, and our friend prins thomas is remixing. get ready to hear the 1st prins thomas vocal cover! it is great remix, a kind of disco pop symphony that i will post soon,together with some videos….we also done a disco kraut tripped out version… (gilbert cohen)

mysterious and most of all vinyl only whitelabels seem to be the call of the day. if they are as good as this one here i have no doubt - this trend will stay our fried. open produced bassy and sweat boxing, slamming chicago - detroit- chicago style house with great piano chord and slight pitched atmosphere. somehow between early chez n ron and roy davis , dj pierre, kerri, mood2 swing, nu groove, kot. now ive almost named them all. oops… . sinister but oh so sexy!

bringing back a classic from our vault, enjoy the many takes on hope & faith!!

new and exciting label from our friends north of the border, aimed squarely at the dancefloor autodiscotheque kick off their demonstration only series of cut up dancefloor grooves with two killer edits from richard sen (padded cell/bronx dogs) and legendary grafitti artist cazbee. first up is a fresh rework of the bass driven disco glitch of kat mandus i wanna dance reconstructed here as cat dance. on the flip, the chunky disco funk of dennis deans i feel it is transformed into the irresistible proto house groove of lifetie. cut and pasted for the elegantly wasted, this is sophisticated and decidedly filthy 21st century club music !

next sure shot from our favourite oz band: bag raiders! heavyweight nu rave ! make some noize !!

after the success of apple pips 1st release from martyn, we are back with another treat for music heads.. our 2nd release comes from brendon moeller aka beat pharmacy brendon. on the a-side under his real name, brendon has created an 127bpm big room classic, submerging the original elements under layers of delay and echo, deep but grooving…on the flip he dons his beat pharmacy guise, slows things down to 120bpm & spaces things out in fine style, utilising the originals abstract riff and resetting it in a really exciting new house tempo context.. with releases coming on rekids, third ear, & deep space and remixes for echospace and others coming up it looks like a great year for brendon and pips is proud to present this exciting clash of styles…

after the amazing success obtained by the 8th release deal with it of the great talents couple spektre...the owners of the label suruba, varo and delmar, presents ending - the remixes from the original track of our favourite french ludovic vendi. ending was an epic track released in march of this year, played, supported and charted by artist like john digweed, laurent garnier, tigerskin, robert babicz... this ep compile four great remixes from robert babicz (kompakt/systematic/audiomatique), henry saiz (renaissance/natura sonoris/paradigma), varo (suruba records/catalytic records) and gus dallas (mue records/ suruba records/la factoria). the digital release will include a dub rework of the owner of the original track ludovic vendi (minisketch, paradigma, dialect, morrison) more housy than the original version

played by dj koze , mathias kaden, laurent garnier... philpot records proudly welcomes reggie dokes on board. the owner of awesome psychostasia recordings in detroit and well known producer for the detroit beatdown posse as well as theo parrishs sound signature drops with the >rain redemptive love< ep his first release on our label. >love< got this amazing typical reggie-groove: rollin percussions meet melodic sequences, forward-pushing beats go hand in hand with charming piano chords and lovely strings parts…very psychedelic! the second title >rain on me< is a deep mover par excellence, an arrangement between very dry and percussive beats and twisted arpeggio…. italo without the cheese! finally >black children of the ghetto< (taken from the album >my electronic mind< as a vinyl exclusive) rounds up this 12inch, slowing down the tempo and totally trippin out on its repetition. thanks for purchasing a real copy!

like many of us over here at bear towers, giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor disco experience has an unhealthy interest in the 1970s - the instruments of bob moog, vocoders, alan parsons - the cult sci fi series space 1999 - and here hes used the decade as a sonic palette to create the kind of ep that gets the whole office (ie: both of us, on pcs at home, occasionally) sitting up and listening. opener disco moog has already been used on our rools for rules compilation earlier this year and had many beards twitching at the prospect of forthcoming vinyl. shooting star is a more uptempo affair with blissful chords, slap bass, disco handclaps and gios trademark vocoder. i feel loved is a personal favourite of stevie kotey with anthem written all over it. this awesome clavinet workout has such a good vibe about it you cant help feeling nothing but loved. it could easy be mistaken for alan hawkshaw super rare bruton library track.
