wavetest are a new collective from zurich, 4 young guys in their early 20s which have their roots in disco and house. two of them have already released a single on chicagos mathematics label under their late invitation project name. they are also a great live-act with bass, keys and drum machines and their dj kejeblos is one of the most promising hopes of zurichs new generation. he is a resident at zukunft and was discovered and supporte by our buddie lexx.
we are totally into their groove as we really like their open-minded approach and we honestly believe in them. their tunes impress by a really forward thinking attitude and can be played at any time during the night. this is a perfectsummertime single and we just had so much fun playing the tracks out. because to us this is exactly what we call b-boy house.

ready for the next hit of dirt crew goodnes, our fellow berliner mano le tough presents his great mix of disco and house. with his earlier release on >mirau< and most recently on the brilliant label >internasjionel< he proved to be a hot newcomer in the scene. here on dirt crew hes ready to top that with two great original tracks and three stunning remixes from jacob korn (permanent vacation, dolly), iron curtis (mule, mirau) and the woderfull deep disco kings from new york holmar filipsson and ulysses (nang, bearfunk). a tremendous collection of deep hitters!

as announced moxie is closing its doors, giving way to all the other editors to fight the edit battle… enough is enough. but moxie has to go out the proper way, so here is one more to celebrate the ending of it all. the moxters were in la recently with la 101.1 classic radio booming while on the road. the one song that got played most, by far, was >nananaheyhey< and it was screaming for an extended (break) version. so here it is, our goodbye to you. see you on the other side…

escape from new york >singles collection< contains the groups full discography. the group comprising of british record producers john falleti, mike whitford, nigel swanston & tim cox (who also recorded as airstrip-one) penned these two gems in the early 80s at a time when italo disco & new wave were the flavour of the day. >fire in my heart< needs little introduction, an incredible slow-mo balearic masterpiece with rapturous vocals. now worth a pretty penny this originally was released on uk rollerball records in 1984.

komonazmuk drops a tough slice of deep, stepping, and melodic dubstep for our 11th release… with his history in rave culture stretching back to the oldskool days, through releases on hardleaders & moving shadow with ice minus, right up to his current cutting edge productions, keiran lomax aka komonazmuk has got his fingers in many musical pies. having had big releases on scene-leaders like tempa, and his debut album coming on h.e.n.c.h. later this year, his versatility as a producer and engineer is second to none.

big with laurent garnier, elliot dodge, angel molina, andy vaz, tomaz,… self defence return with more almost perverted deepness on our 3rd release. after lopaaz, don williams and russ gabriel on the first releases, sdf now strikes back with belgiums franco cangellis superb >raw emotions< remix ep. the mixes got re-emotionalized by dan curtin and russ gabriel who both are no strangers the variable world of electronic music – one could call them pioneers and thats clearly demonstrated in the result of these outstanding tracks. deep, groovin, nicely textured detroit funk, a very round affair and dj crate must have being the result. russ gabriel of ferox fame, recorded for most of the major techno forces of the 90s: carl craigs planet-e, peacefrog records, djax-up- beats, gpr, force-inc, soma recordings, new electronica and dave clarkes magnetic north, while dan curtin walked his path in the us with his own label metamorphic recordings, and with his profile on the rise, he eventually caught the attention of peacefrog in the mid nineties…

on the fourth release of sleep is commercial by andrea ferlin, daniele papini and cennamo, we lay down our masks while you put your hands up in the air: this is our anthem, club mio! try to believe...

release #6 for much loved label giegling is a return for kettenkarussell, who kickstarted this fine imprint with the >i believe you and me make love forever< ep. and >things will never flange< will find its place in our crates and hearts, too. pure, beautiful and melancholic deepness at its finest.

summer is on the horizon, peeps. its time to pump up those sounds. so open your box as sexonwax returns to the source. staying true to our name, our essence. presenting special vinyl ep for your aural excitement only. first up is the massive toon of four-track goodness, paralexia. feel our groove. really, what could be sexier? despite the name there can be no misapprehension of whats going on here. the patterns of omids paralexia see fractal flurries of melody sprinkled with insane piano tinkles. these ivories are driven upwards by solid synth gold and old skool drum builds. with a whirling breakdown that feels like a waterfall crashing over your head. it all adds up to a proper prolonged derangement of the senses. so much so that the party people of miami went ballistic when it was promod by sos during their set at dj mags pool party. check the link. show us yer shimmy! cos bites without teeth is more of a builder, folks. and if the beats dont grab n shake you in their grimy grip, then the wonky bass will. claps like a funker. phases like a wrong ‘un. builds like a bastardo. its food for thought… a bonus here from sexonwaxs popular april release in the form of lilly and poppy. except this time mr o brings a vinyl dub to the table: a reliable beauty with a dramatic and yet delicate bouquet >du jour<. in fact, its almost as epic as >the epic<! so there you go, guys. paralexia is a real package. boasting more beef than argentina, more heat than technotonics and more eruptions than iceland. all of em sure-fire floor shakers with an ultra-modern/vintage sound, best served with sunshine and a smile. feeeel the difference.

on his first release, >muskelminne ep<, gunnar delivers an indian summer love song, >massagerutin 1<, some deep and glistering morning music with the track >morgonanga< and ends with the raw but perfect bonus beat, >lilla huset pa prärien<. or as gunnar jonsson puts it: >i just want to have a good time with music, no steroids, no tricks, just some soft grooves and some hardware fun. i love older electronic instruments, the way they look and sound makes me feel good inside and gets me going.< eat healthy and ride a bike between the studio sessions that is gunnar jonssons vibe. it is our wish that this ep will end many summer night dance floors.

our danish foreign affairs correspondent mathias mesteno has returned after an extensive visit to the chicago soundscapes. as to be expected, he managed to sneak a suitcase full of classic house tracks through customs and they are on their way to appear on the latest upon you releases. mestinos crafty little fingers have combined three decades of musical history with samples and inspiration, long breaks and warm kick drums turning them into modern club tracks. >buckskin< has pounded itself on to a1 with its dusty boiler beats, while >el mestengo< proudly grooves itself on b1. our chicago expert proves that hes fearless with >bareback< on b2 and once again infects us with the cure resistant house virus

supported by piemont, marco carola, chris liebing, danny tenaglia, deepchild, orde meikle / soma, igor tchkotoua (pig and dan),philip sherburne, derek plaslaiko, leo leal, axel bartsch, toni d!! this is something of a departure for our label, and one were very proud of. &#8232,,,we are happy to say jules made these 4 outstanding tracks with a lot of soul and passion. a lot of influences have lead to the making of these tracks. his uncle has a recording studio near frankfurt where jules spend endless hours, before he started to play in a soul band at the age of 13! his career as a drummer lead to a final show in berlin in the >tempodrome club< and there would be more to add, but let the music speak for itself..

decks tip! incl. still going remix. 180g vinyl.
complete with sensual, tripped out vocals from nesreen shah and a monstrous remix from our favourite new yorkers still going, the b side is coyotes remix of international peoples gangs >second< - its a clear nu-balearic classic!

receiving new, original music from dave switch taylor whipped the whole your army office into a frenzy. under his solid groove moniker he has been responsible for some of the most exciting, raw, jackin house music to come out of the uk… >throwing stones< continues that fine tradition … a deep outing with heavy drums, haunting string refrain and clever vocal cuts… its great to have him back! new signing to the dubsided camp is subskrpt who first caught our attention with his dubstep remix of major lazer >cashflow< and then a blinding remix of rusko >woo boost< … he now releases his first original record custom made for the new dubsided mix compilation titled >dubsided one<.

shadow sync are back with two new bomb tracks with a fresh techno touch for their fifth release on krd. the imploded beats of theia hit the dance-floor like a meteor shower, accents in reverse weave the rhythm supported by background reverberations. a grooving tr-909 complete all. jitter is a tribal repetitive trip that arises from a genetically modified marimba (courtesy of our beloved 8-bit mirage). reversed hi-hats, hypnotizing delays, bit-reduced accents infect the main synth line making it sick: disorientation guaranteed!

watch out for the newest techno-smasher on nachtstrom schallplatten. its a pleasure to present our collaboration with one of uks finest producers: perc! dark, hypnotic soundscapes meet deep and rolling grooves and are brought together in a hallucinatory blend of modern electronic music.
played by: dave clarke, tommy four seven, mark antonio, chris finke, gary beck, xavier morel and many more.

et voila. this is the first release from our newly launched vidab x series. its vidabs new platform, that aims to show some of the unknown and unexpected sides of our artists.
first issue comes from koljah. on his last ep on vidab, 3 months ago, he proved himself to be a big lover of the deeper sides of house. now its up to him to show his passion for epic, soundtrackinfected stuff like on the a side, >simple things< and his dark and reduced alter ego on the flip with >it makes me think<. have fun with this!

back again we have the mediterranean flavor of the friends affkt and alberto sola. always experimenting with different ingredients like the cooker ferran adria, the guys who laid the first stone of the legendary label barraca, now present a hybrid of pop and house which will leave no one indifferent. ‘pobla loves you’ was born with the tuba of alberto cuartero, orchestra director of hoya gonzalo in albacete. marc and alberto (affkt and sola) wanted to have a typical instrument of a band and merged it with the electronic dance scene, always being faithful to his maxim of making music to dance as well as to listen. if we surround valencia, road to pobla de farnals, we passed through la canada. there are los updates, who upon hearing the organic rhythm of pobla and the work with the wind instruments, set to work with the voices. perfectly adapted to the capital of the turia river, jorge and loreto propose a valencian poem that their children have learned at school. the moon of valencia then join our dinner for four. finally, we add to our paella a bit of percussion and keyboards made in affkt, to get a main course and obtain a typical valencian plate but by adding a little chilean salt becomes international. more oriented to the dance floor, there are three rather different remixes. new union between spain and chile, with danny fiddo and felipe venegas. this couple present an elegant and deep remix with drums and vocals perfectly adapted to the current sound. moreover, the french man darlyn vlys re-interpreted >pobla loves you< with a lot of groove and percussion added. finally, affkt gives his funker version of events to complete a job that will come out by the german label international freakshow

reference (planet e / echospace / beretta) consists of the detroit-based artists luke hess & brian kage. in the first reference vs project we squeezed some of the party out of seth troxler and some of the percussion expertise from ryan crosson to create the still sought after tracks >the fade< and >the bumps<. in the second installment of our reference vs series we wanted to get a bit more soulful, & deep with the music, and highlight two of the worlds finest dub techno artists - stephen hitchell (cv313) and marko furstenburg (surphase). stephen hitchell aka cv313 is first a sound engineer. his experiments with synthesis create a warm, ethereal, and organic analog sound all his own. in the reference vs projects we seek to extract the natural strengths of the artist. when we received the files from stephen we knew we were packing heat! we structured our zone around the life-like chord structure that cv313 so effortlessly creates and gave it some more dance floor flavor. we believe the track titled >the wake< will fill dance-floors over the summer months on the beach as well as in the clubs. what can we say. markos shuffled dub stab style has been in demand since the artist started releasing on thinner back in 2002. mr. fürstenbergs deep and emotional music is an extension of his character. we were happy to receive what we expected from marko, super percussive, cavernous, and soulful soundscapes. again we referenced the package out with some drones, new analog rhythms, and eureka. the zone continues relentlessly in >the swell< to carry the dancer through the night into another summer day in the sun

it is no secret that the 1980s was probably one of the best decades. 1986 was in particular a very memorable and historic year across the world. it also happens to be the year delete was born and the name of the groove laden a-side. >1986< does not boast any sci-fi effects or other worldly sounds, it does however have one of the catchiest bass lines out there. >our generation< pours a real telltale chicago house vibe, complete with derrick carter style vocals and a bone-chillingly infectious four-note pad melody. this is eyes closed, hands in the air euphoric house. the 12 inch rounds out with delete still showcasing his knack for creating funky bass lines with, >lunchbox<. this number runs a bit deeper than the first two tracks, as it is rolled along by little percussion edits and snippets that evoke a more subtle laid-back vibe.

another brutal speaker assault from the coinop camp! voted the worlds greatest label ever (repeatedly) by channel 4 viewers. nan-bangin says it all really - yet again the coinop massive (led by general mustard gunn) freak our minds and bootys with this, a very london affair....other than that theres not a lot to say for a label that has everyone hooked but our office highlight has to be the brilliant kanjis brand new vip remix of his own previously huge coinop track >drive you crazy<

alex caytas & aleks patz have been doing great productions for quite some time now. but it wasnt untill this track hit our speakers that our ears screamed: yes! fantastic drum programming, solid subs and do-dos are the simple and effective elements that makes this track so driving.

dj support by doc martin, luke solomon, rob mello, anthony collins, sebo k., raresh, matthias kaden! the latest cut from the house of horizontal comes courtesy of head seamstress herself dinky. it comes as no surprise then that æpaquitaÆ û our eponymous a-side heroine û dances as well as she dresses. with unabashed bounce in the bass, a hip-shaking kick and impassioned vocal hook, the track issues funk and soul in abundance as it makes headway towards sumptuous stabs of a delectably old-school flavour. matthew styles weaves his thread through proceedings to tailor a revamp of æpaquitaÆ in deftly-cut club couture. elements of dub bubble over a relentlessly driven beat in what is a typically cool and candid offering from the horizontal stalwart.

big with: robert dietz, markus fix, federico molinari, dorian paic, meat, vera, nick curly,à over the last couple of years christian burkhardt and sascha dive have shaped and created the sound of raum...musik like almost no other artist on our label. now the two of them are teaming up for our next single and like one would expect it from them they deliver 2 very nice tracks aiming straight at the dancefloor. nightflight on the a side is a bit more electronic and represents more the sound design of christian. >combination< on the b side which is also the title of this record is more sort of a stripped down house tool and therefor stands for saschas influences. together they form a nice mix including two of the main artists from our label. enjoy this combination...!

fresh from his stunning remix of lusine s two dots and the chart ruling feed the freezer release on rejected, fanciulli returns to amsterdam with another storming three track release, seemingly dedicated to our favourite tool of communication

with her new album, dust, ellen removes the sense of remoteness entirely. a warm immediacy takes centre stage in place of distanced artistic abstraction. as such, what is perhaps ellens most personal album takes the form of a complete spectrum of her creative output to date, a cross-section in time which also looks ahead to previously untrodden paths... the world according to ellen!

desolat are proud to present basti grub. basti is a young talented german producer and label owner from the vibrant frankfurt area. his musical journey begins at the age of 14 with a birthday present - an roland mc303 - and since then basti grub shapes his musical vision day and night. he regularly sent beats and tracks to dice who tested them on the road. after a while we had a collection of tracks for a nice 12inch and we simply had to share this music with you: modern groovin house with influences from all over the place. the 12inch comes on colored vinyl with fine artwork by our man florian pohl and will remain a collectors item.

groove charts # 3 !!! >sex ×technology = the future< ( jg ballard) wires are the arteries of the modern world, connecting and supplying practically everything that defines our lives. we channel our desires like an electrical current through our machines. musically, the concept is about drawing together the different strands, from techno and minimal to house to ambient and experimental. there is a common thread that runs through these different genres, linking them like the roots of a tree. this diversity is what keeps everything fresh for me. the >raudive< project explores techno and minimal, further releases will feature >atlas<, a new project created by myself and co-producer tommy gillard which moves into more detroit house territory. later there will be music from >zov zov< music that references pan sonic, coil and sunno))).

peter lustig propably was the most loved german tv host of a kids program, running and fascinating over generations. his beloved show >loewenzahn< is a classic as is the melody of this show. our friends lizzara & tatsch from berlins ostfunk conglomerate have been inspired by the melody and created an 2010 version, which has already generated loads of buzz! in addition to the funny and funky original they have, of cause, added a proper and crowd pleasing club version. this is the original ...
