one sided killer application!! some tracks are so weird, that they can neither be fit into a regular release schedule, nor an appropriate b-side be found. for these black sheep we have decided to create a small niche on connaisseur supérieur. the cnss black edition will sporadically present tracks that are way out of our usual categories… with >numb<, daso finally opens his >panteras< box and again proves his ability to rock reeeally hard. the track actually consists of two seperate tracks whose combination has proven itself during several of dasos live performances. it is the transition between the two tracks that makes the crowd go mad. the clonky intro (already published on ware records as mud max - zampone (maderfotor rmx)) morphs into a giant breakdown with perhaps familiar sounding spoken words before it suddenly reincarnates as a ravey monster from hell! numb shouldnt be taken too seriously and is definitely not for all occasions, but dropped at the right moment, this atom-bomb will cause serve damage on dance- floor-gro

soul wonderboy jamie lidell gets the remix treatment from electro man of the moment mr oizo (ed banger records), sweet latin with a balearic touch from senor coconut, and the winner of our jamie lidell remix contest: nteibint. this is highly limited pressing and definitely worth it.

first 500 limited edition on clear vinyl! manmadescience turns back on philpot and joins our coloured vinyl series with their akiele-ep. just right in time to celebrate the 30th release! the main title >akiele< is a awesome deep and hypnotic piece of house with that special manmadescience signature… >they like to watch< and >meandyou< are short edits (sorry, diggers: there will be no longer versions) and the soulphiction dub in the end rounds off the record: a massive dub track made to rise on the floor

2nd part of remixes for the mighty sunburst band featuring dennis ferrer & the elektrons

for our eleventh release we have no other than esperanza s own jorge savoretti. after making some collabs for the label, he s finally delivering his expected solo ep. for this one, he mixed a wide variety of soundscapes and influences with precise coherence developing his trademark forward thinking sound even further. there are lots of words used to describe tracks but for this baby is really hard to find ones ccurate enough, maybe some hints would be, futuristic, intricate, martian, tribal

this time the re edit package is a split action between our man orestt, and mysterious (but pretty famous uk dj) man from soho... action comes in four tracks. orestt grants us with closer to the edge rerub in the form of haircut, originaly a uk disco no wave obscure 12inch, and giving love an 80s london classic. flip side sees man from soho going into rooter places with two winner cuts on a more afro meets southamerica path...

played by: akufen, laurent garnier, pheek, electric indigo ,… trimsound return from a winter hibernation with a fresh release for you this spring - this time our special guest is canadian whizzkid frivolous (~scape / background / karloff / epsilonlab) providing us with a quality blend of quirky electro-tinged micro-house with a brilliant dancefloor vibe. next up leifs infectious warm dubbytech-house track brings things a little bit deeper - in line with his latest release on fear of flying records. on the flipside, tom ellis jacked-up funk sound absolutely rocks it - tom is on fire at the moment with releases lined up on minibar, musique risquee and hartchef amongst others. finally, joe ellis tops off this awesome ep with a deep jazzy chord-driven groover akin to his productions on new netlabel paperscissorstone.

supported by paolo mojo, pig & dan, gregor tresher, phil kieran, anderson noise and many more.. fergie and his excentric muzik imprint are on a hell of roll right now. his last two eps, that included the hugely supported >senderoff<, >anon< and >break-in<, gained the support of djs such as anja schneider, steve lawler, dubfire, tiefschwarz, laurent garnier and more, and now our favourite irishman is set to drop his latest masterpiece.

hairy claw kicks off 2008 with new artists, a more consistent release schedule, a new a&r (alongside label man stevie kotey) in our man dean muhsin and some serious releases. first up comes from dan drastic. dan is a german producer and dj with impeccable taste. previous output for highgrade has been superb and he has some amazing stuff due to drop on moon harbour (where he takes care of promotions in fine style) so hairy claw have handpicked him for the first release of 2008. deep, groovy and with just the right amount of drive, >xibeca< is a mordern house cut of the highest order. supernature and tsuba artists bearweasel take the techier elements of dan’s original and twist them into a flowing tech-house cut too - so there’s something for the heavier crowds too. there are big things afoot with hairy claw, we’ll keep you posted

mysterious new label concentrating on the finest intergalactic techfunk. johannes volk is a pretty new name to many.. however his first record “the mysteries of tharsis montes” was released on jeff mill’s axis a while ago… now he steps into public again with this lifeworld record. volk enters the delicate world of futuristic techno and combines it with earthly acoustic elements. johannes is producing music in the best tradition of jeff mills and robert hood, but he managed to put his own fingerprint on it. a dazzling deep & funking techno release for peak time play.

here comes a real trip through the horny nightlife of the big city of art in barcelona/spain. 4 totally different and 100 percent funny tracks, starting from vocal techno - over to drum n bass - and finish with a trippy taste of industrial hardtek! not to be miss... it s our last release in 2007, and a very strong winter release for all the techno maniacs out there.

the spring time is aproaching and jesus loved you production is blossoming like never before. day by day, the familiy of valentino kanzyanis proteges is getting larger and larger as he keeps on recruiting more and more of the worlds most promising young djs and producers. topping the list of those who have been choosen to bear his sign, here comes chris barratt to show our crowd what he is made of. magicalminimalpopmusic is his second release for the jesus loved you and we can assure you that it is everything its title promises it to be - fun, minimal and emotional. the release expresses two sides of chris barrat. the gentle, almost fragile angel bells is a very kept back piece and is - as chris himself would have put it - all about emotions. whistlechimes is a more dynamic track with a perfectly fitted long bridge in the middle, making one feel chris barrats his huge dj potential.

not another promo text!?!? we find that all of the music produced by harry axt speaks volumes, therefore we simply (and happily!) offer you these two new tracks. it s worth mentioning that this is the last ep from harry axt before his album release in october on rompecabeza music. the whole summer he will indulge in a production break, so that he may doze in the sun, test every type of beer possible, demolish enormous amounts of grilled meat and danish ice cream, and then completely concentrate this replenished creativity on his debut album. then, while the sun fades away for another season, he will let the sunshine back into our ears…

big with dj hell, tomboy, shir khan (radio fritz). terranova recordings (tnt) would like to introduce rampa (from the house of beatgees) - our youngest signing. >grill royal e.p.< - his debut on vinyl is a fine example of what he calls >berlin booty rave<! we first took notice of rampa while pogodancing to his legendary dj sets at berlins number one underground club >picknick< - and when we heard the firing remix he did for jay-z it was decided we wanted him on board!

after releases from heavy hitters such as two armadillos, solomun and andomat3000 the mantle now falls to new boy class71 with his double a-side >seaphone/diamond door<. well, it would do if he was really the new boy, but he s not. in fact, this new artist is an alias of italian producer santos, who has pretty much done it all in house, techno and every other genre we could lazily list. rounding things off with a respectful nod to classic techno via moody stabs, lazy melodies and an airtight arrangement in the form of >diamond door<, it seems like class71 is a bit of a name to watch. don t take our word for it though, ame, sasse, djinxx and agnes are already backing this winner.

supported by anthony collins, jesse rose, italoboyz, 2000 and one, tom clark, karotte, sebo k and many more.. the three course feast is prepared. mathias mesteño aka matt vega, the newcomer in our upon you cafeteria has prepared three delicious dishes a la casa. the main course: a1 dixie’s diner- delicate plate of house with glazed rave-bells on thickened bass-marinade, that proves to stimulate the metabolism of the hypnosis-center. similarly nutritious and stimulating are his steaks and chops, that in dialogue with curled jumpers-noodles force wriggle-phillip to the table. the dessert will be served immediately while standing: waffles- with punshed alcohol sauce on a perforated tripneedle

the first track on the single, heart of dem, is an ode to the youth and the struggle they face growing up today amongst the chaos on our streets. chemos production and the brothers melodic chorus make it an upbeat track despite the serious nature of the lyrics. bollox sees brotherman oozing bravado over a bouncy reggae groove with a deep dub bassline courtesy of hot new producer tea jay. the tracks are taken from brothermans first full length project, which will take the form of a double ep, the dark and the light.

supported by loco dice, simon baker, fabrice lig, florian meindl, angel molina, josh wink and many more.. here at immigrant we are thrilled to present an outstanding ep from our youngest prodigy. hailing from the uk’s murky midlands, 20 year old subb-an is rapidly proving himself a producer to watch in 2008 through his residency and explosive live sets at birmingham’s renowned below party, and a successful release on leftroom earlier this year..

two more cuts on our summery piano riddim featuring the vocal talents of roll deep mc riko and our very own rubi dan. warrior queens voicing, things change, was released by soul jazz records and also featured on our compilation an england story. riko - a reformed character after spending time in jail earlier this decade - addresses himself to wayward youths with a warning about the badman lifestyle, while rubi dan rails against violence and corruption in london and the uk.

here comes the follow up to our current release uncle fly which is causing quite a buzz in many of the mp3 stores genre charts right now. this one is a double edged sword giving you one rather large techno infused cut sampling the hong kong pedestrian crossing signal in keep walking and the other, a rather heavy electro flavored track called fiasco.

poussez is the electronic bastard child of london based producer, dj duo jafar and maxime cescau. established artists and record label directors in their own right?.. jafar of course popping up on a few of our previous releases. poussez brings the pair blasting through to house musics cutting edge in the 21st century. the pair are continuing to change the deep house formula in the zeroes marrying a more melodic sensibility with the abrasiveness of electro, darkness of minimal and dancefloor punch of techno. natural conditions is deeper than the proverbial abyss, >natural conditions< rocks a skankin square-bass around the sort of synths freeranges >square one< has become renowned for. 4am crowd grabbing deepness!on the flip, from its opening synths, deliciously washing over you like an incoming electronic tidal wave, >tell me how you do< grabs the listeners attention. it has that timeless mid 90s deep house feel without being outmoded and, for those paying attention, will be noted as poussezs trademark opening track on their live sets

alex krueger is ready for his next strike on dirt crew rec. the follow up to his excellent <push the patton< single is an absolute minimal killer, 3 quality tracks here and a different side of tigerskin for each taste. all tracks were produced with analogue equipment only which has become pretty rare these days ! the title track is a warm and reduced builder with an absolutely devestating guitar breakdown, people will remember this one for sure when they first hear it out on a big system. the second >wanted< is a typical tigerskin rave anthem, similar to his master hit >neontrance< this one is pure power on the dancefloor. the last track is more funky and has a great electro groove to it, this one has become a favourite in our sets over the last weeks and also features a beautiful break with great analogue sounds

nice price deal !!! after releasing singles with his hommies from luckystars on our conya label and delivering hot remixes on clubstar, here comes the debut single of dj electric from moscow. he is also the man behind the mighty deepology label and the same called radio show. dj electric teamed up with german spanish beauty simone de nauw. after her smah hit luv she delivers bigtime again. next to the original deep n warm electronic mixes you will find a whole wide range of remixes: per qx (uk/swe) takes it to the bigrooms, satoshi fumi (jap) goes deep, edmund gives it the soulful rub (esp) & andrey loud (rus) does it the electronic way. summer must be just around the corner!

after the genre-smashing, seven vinyl pressings deep (and counting) success of viktor casanova, there is no way that the italoboyz could possibly top their first appearance on mothership, right? wrong! we are happy to report that they have created an organic techno masterpiece in >bahia<, enlisting the help of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - john coltrane. youve never heard the master like this - the italoboyz have molded the original >bahia< into a stomping peak timer as only they can. their trademark monster kick underpins stuttering jazz kits, a playful piano line, and an insistent, soulful tenor sax sample from the man himself (cleared after four months of intense negotiations). bahias intro leads into one of the most surprising and euphoric breaks you will ever hear. there are two versions to choose from - the party swing mix gets right to the point, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck. the flip sides mucho lungo mix is perfect for those late night warehouse moments, taking its time to deliver the sweet payoff

big bang the birth of our solar system, our ground wire and adjacent luminary. the universe is a collective of wild mixed atom constellations. the big bang ep is a part of the boundless expanse of electronic producing, the 4 different artists shows the polychronic function of analogue and synthetic sound design. the already known eintakt artists einklang freier frequenzen and hugo duran / kong and the new members linus quick (released also on traum-schallplatten) and christoph schindling (released on dreiton) created this mix of atmospheric deep techno and asyetic minimal tunes

mark e now returns to running back for another ep of original productions. and what a return it is! staying in his lovely kind of irresistible grooves between low slung bass and rattling snares, mark delivers three tracks of pure dance floor bliss. first off, we have slave 1 with its burning slow motion build up and a hookline that will not leave your head for at least a week. the flip of the medal, sees pulse friction giving off a warm synthesizer shower for what seems like an hour. finally, the incredibly bouncy human tightens the thumbscrew and should even make the ruffy and tuffy minded happy. our dear friends dixon from shocking innervisions and gilb r from rocking versatile are already in love with it, so please do not even try to resist. e is for ecstasy!

phonogenics >postcard< is slow burner, building and rising to a eventual climax of melancholic underwater deepness. this song will no doubt be played by those in the later time slots and anyone who wants to add a little journey to their mixes. our main man dex aka dave barker is back with another slice of some quality melodic quirky goodness. >yikes!< has a very chopped up funk/soul feel mixed with solid house beats. studio trickery and a hidden japanese opera helps the track evolve from its soulful beginning to another world entirely. finally, we are very pleased to bring you the first of many musical efforts from amantu wilde. not much is known about amantu as he is a bit of a recluse and does not offer up much information about himself. >g-g-got my eyes on you< is a very retro sounding track reminiscent of some classic new wave jams. pseudo industrial percussion and excellent filter work make this track something to remember. something strange for sure but we think people will like the break from the mod rn sounds

ricardo villalobos, magda, karotte, loco dice, monika kruse, martinez, 2000andone, tiefschwarz, matthias tanzmann, ben klock, lauhaus, raresh...we proudly present our first release on cécille numbers the new sublabel from cécille records. the first release comes from the greek producer lemos and is splitted in two parts. on two tracks he worked together with his friend ilan manouach and conjured two amazing vibe and atmosphere live recorded saxophone tracks that will catch your ear for sure. the other tracks use the perfect balance between rhythmic and vocal sounds. all four tracks are sure shots for every music lover. hope you enjoy…

hinode’ is a tribute and farewell to our favourite club, yellow in tokyo. we’ve played some great gigs there, six or seven hours in the dark with eight hundred people and one strobe light – perfection. endless saki in the bar, obligatory stalkers (“93!” and hedgehog girl step forward please), smoke and heat on the dance floor. finally emerging deafened and sun blinded into the brilliance of saturday mid-morning in tokyo… backing up the original is an exceptional remix from our favourite techno genius - fergie.

dj support by : 2000 and one, karotte, james flavour, tobi neumann.... after already four strong 12inches on audiomatique we proudly welcome back robert babicz with his fifth audiomatique release: >dark flower< is a shiny groover accompanied y a beautiful remix from rotterdam based techno-veteran joris voorn. the a-side features two new tracks by robert, >dark flower< & >spiralboogie<. >dark flower< showcases roberts typical handwriting: a dry, but funky groove construct with melancolic and deep synths while some highly seductive bass slaps create this very special babicz feeling. >spiralboogie< spreads its magic on a2. slowly building, having the funk in the trunk and fully focussed on simple, but reliable qualities. forward ever, backwards never. the flipside holds our chefs suggestion: an extraordinary joris voorn remix of >dark flower< which already stirred a huge buzz when steve bug tested it on his recent japan-tour or robert played it out in brasil last month. joris voorns mix perfectly combines floating harmonies with a thrilling drive. simply irresistible

all already 5 smashing releases of very high quality in a relatively short time on minisketchs little brother minisketch500 it is now time for the new one on the big label. af ter the absolute hit of paul ritch on 5 and the equally massive follow-upon 6 by ludovic vendi it is now time f or aquillina (cocoon, trapez) and del prete to show y ou their hit record of this year! big minimal tracks that will rocky our body for sure! with all the right ingredients, catchy samplework and anuplif ting melody this will appeal to the masses!! you know what to expect on this label, dont miss out!!

luscious, epic and british are not words you would usually associate with an emo band. but i was a cub scout are not your ordinary emo outfit - they re two hardcore souls with passion and emotion dripping out of every pore. and its this passion that has captivated audiences up and down the country. the duo, made up of todd marriott and william bowerman, have come a long way in the 18 months they ve been together. they ve supported bands like babyshambles, panic at the disco, editors and forward russia, played to packed out audiences at download and the carling reading and leeds festivals and made one of the most life affirming albums of 2008, i want you to know that there is always hope, which has been produced by hugh padgham . in a climate of indie band soup, i was a cub scout stand apart. a very british band raised on a diet of american music. a duo who manage the feat of being both indie and rock, punk and prog, small yet big...

the term >ballad< is written similarly in many languages of the western hemisphere. it is a antique word. you can find its etymological origin in the latin verb >ballare< - which means >to dance< - and the greek verb >ballein< - wich means >to move<. a ballad is always a story told through music. in recent times the term >ballad< is often associated with greasy / absurd pop music. what a shame! ballad inc. releases tracks that earn the label >ballad<. on our first release >exile< you can listen to the epic story >high hopes of salvation< by quietpoint and to two short stories by xdb. >anilem< and >jupit< got everything a ballad needs. of course you can dance to it. of course you can move your body. but this should not be the main issue! there is so much more in modern instrumental music. who needs words to tell a story?

continuing in our quest to break some new ground and bring some new sounds to the fore, universal vibes presents the onaz. standing out from the crowd, with a bit of a unique sound and outlook, the onaz is a new artist who we think fits right in with the leftfield vibe we are going for with the universal vibes label. the onaz mainly subscribes to nudisco music influenced by emperor machine, lindstrom and prins thomas however, his production of the form is more minimal.this sound combines the deep electronic disco stylings of lindstrom, prins thomas et al with the edgy techtronics and beat trickery of seiji and the west london mob. resulting in a deep, minimal edgy dancefloor led sound that stands out from then crowd

finest electronic masterpiece by rekleiner!! incl daniel stefanik.. the debut release from murmur records, a new project from geddes, is an experience-driven experiment into the future of our musical landscape

progressive house with great vocals incl dub mix! a great voice, teaming up with great producers and djs, to deliver finest house music. here we go, stephenie coker is our new rising star with her mixes touched by the hands of jerome isma-ae, vincent thomas and genji yoshida. while jerome turns it into a massive peak time house, vincent thomas gives it a pumpin electro twist, and genji yoshida moulds it into a techhouse stomper with a massive break. kosmo has a new label member: for the first time, we didnt sign a dj or a producer, but a female singer. and be honest, arent we all just dying for a new club diva

well what is there to say...? the two original packages of this is not a follow up are being played by everyone under the sun. both the previous gourmet and the brique rouge releases pack a serious punch with remixes from main room heavy weights like mason, silicone soul and tommy four seven. it came to our attention by one mr. clive henry that it would be nice to have some deep remixes released.

already hammered by chaton, ripperton, lee van dowski… even your grandma ordered it already !!! after a great deep and soulful ep at our friends at resopal, langenberg is gifting us with a stunning two track ep. pressed with full fat and all your nightly needed calories, the two 45 rpms tracks presented here are perfectly representing modern club culture. a true groove, a rare and personal sound crafting and design skills represent very

after the huge >score for direction< success with label owner pär grindvik stockholm ltd presents a new swedish talent for the world. simon haydo is a really close friend of pär grindvik and the stockholm ltd family. for several years, simon has been playing records among the high end clubs in his hometown of stockholm, sweden. a while ago he finally got himself some studio equipment and has been asking for production tips from time to time, but when we received his demo we realized that he didnt really needed them. simon knocked us right out of our chairs! we rarely get demos this emotional and we didnt know that simon would pass us one as we had not heard a bleep of his music until that day. most of the demos you get are from people trying to sound like someone else, but simon has a sound of his own. we are really proud to have simon haydo joining the label and his first record >different shades of white< will follow us forever! >different shades of white< has got great support all over the world and will be released on stockholm ltd, watch out!

our man from norway comes around with three new tracks cold as ice including a remix from chris fortier (nyc / fad records)! his records are loved from djs all around the world, played from ibiza to japan! with nude no more terje bakke climbes the next level. his own individual style is hard to describe, but allways focused on the dancefloor.
