virgil enzinger - shadow of the mind ep on gynoid audio is a release of balance.on either side you have absolute gems that either tick the >big, crisp< production boxes and/or the >gritty, funky< boxes. no matter what the occasion calls for, what a tool to have. to be in the shadow of virgil enzingers mind, from a production standpoint, is nothing to be ashamed of but these 3 remixes (to accompany the original) all step out of the shadows to share the limelight with virgil equally. balance!

hailing from the puglia region of italy, music is a mission for andrea forito, and clubbing a way of life. a dj since 1994, and picking up the production reins in 2000, his own work has stalked out the space between propulsive minimal and expressive detroit techno, while always sticking close to what has inspired and guided him from the beginning: true house music

audio family is steadily building on its fanbase and its growing by the day,as we see the backstock is flying out lately. another big addition to the roster in the form of the french techno dj/producer josh love!classical style with some old skool feeling and hints to the old days of tribal techno mixed with catchy synths and pounding beats!

even the last ep >contemporary box< by christian burkhardt was an exceptional experience for every listener. now, after two years of abstinence on oslo, the gifted artist surprises us with his next album >redford.< on the a side christian burkhardt presents us with >scream< a funky track, in which mainly the vocals let shake the dance floor and draws the audience into his spell. >redford< on the b side stands out with its concise and groovy bass line and stands with its hypnotic sound. an experience for the upcoming club season!

we present a new artist on echocord colour. we are presenting one of the currently most interesting berlin modern techno music producers today mike dehnert. he is founder of the label fachwerk records on which he is publishing under his own name. his live acts and dj sets are as remarkable as his productions and you wont ever hear him playing any self-pleasing or incidental grooves. mostly mike is playing his own unpublished tracks. he did just put his ability to the test within collabarations with clone rec and the clone basement series. on the super limited md2 series mike dehnert is presenting again his variety in music. for echocord colour he did 3 striped killer berlin flavoured techno-dub/house tracks, for all dancefloors out there.

a limited edition latin soul brothas fusion rework session! 1st is a remix slept on by maws louie vega (who waited too long to put it out), a rendition of hector lavoes >mi gente< that is absolutely amazing. on the flip, santanas >dance sister dance (baila mi hermana)< gets reworked for a big dancefloor tune. highly recommended!

deadly serious new voyage into the unknown by a made up sound? weirdly emotive, yet banging machine-funk with punching low end on the a-side, far out metallic broken-beyond-repair beat science on the flip. soundsystem material for the year 2050?

wave music presents its newest release under the milk & honey moniker with additional production by boyd jarvis. the original long version is a beautifully drawn out symphony of strings and jazzy keys over a sultry downbeat and lazy vocoded vocals. consider this gold for fans of 4 hero and all lounge-core/downtempo fanatics. the flip however is boyd jarvis uptempo dance floor phenomenon. inserting a heavy and pumping bass line and adding xylophone arpegios alongside congas, organ synth and space atmospherics make for one wild galactic journey. think kevin yost remixed by salt city orchestra and you are right on target. slamming!

nice price deal !!! begun in 2008 and following the release of their debut single last summer, not squares have carved themselves a name as an incendiary live act playing 2009 festival dates at latitude, leeds and reading in addition to numerous boutique irish festivals. not squares received plenty of national radio play with huw stephens championing them throughout 2009. with a bbc radio 1 introducing maida vale session under their belts and nearing the release of their debut album in september 2010 with dublin-based richter collective, there will be many opportunities to go buckwild with them in a room near you. >release the bees< is the next single out in autumn on pogo recordings in dublin, a driving 8 minute-acid-house-electro-dance-track to assault your ears.

not many words are needed to describe the roll fritz kalkbrenner is on right now, his vocal performance and songwriting skills are out in the open.. simply amazing!!! that s why we are very happy to present his debut single facing the sun of his very first artist album here today gone tomorrow , which will come out on october 15th. we are also very happy to have his brother paul kalkbrenner and his long time friend sascha funke on board for remixes!! exspect nothing less than phat dope shit! facing the sun in fritz kalkbrenner s own words: one more time, here is track that a few of you guys might be familar with. facing the sun was released as a non-vocal version on my first suol ep last year named wingman . i just couldn t resist recording some vocals on top. if you liked wingman , you will love facing the sun

the house nerds with 2 killer tracks for lovers of rekids & cabin fever. mystery bells >down deep and dark< went the name of an old strictly rhythm compilation and thats a pretty good description of mystery bells. 909 beats propel this monster along with the payoff coming via a big-room breakdown. follow that with a variety of skippy sp1200 drum programming to finish it off. (did we mention the bells?) huge. library session no. 4 is bouncy proto-garage mixes together with spaced out vocal samples and some serious chordage. channeling old downtown 161 vibes into the present day, the nerds provide a nice counter-measure to the darker sounds of mystery bells.

>bite sized beats vol. 1< has two smoking cuts from flapjack veteran wattie green. the first cut >flip mode< is a great throwback to the jack of i:cubes hit disco cubism. utilizing the same slammin key sample, wattie slices it up just right and puts in the smoker very early in the morning. after about 8 hours, it comes out and is seasoned to perfection with his solid beats and break wisdom resulting in one hell of a delicious dance floor bomb.

coloured vinyl! i met dwight in the desert of nowhere. we somehow knew we would be there at the moment where it took place. no surprise, i mean the crash. 3 times for them to finally got out of nowhere back into nowhere. while i was playing the flute dwight held a ritual, spreading energy through his voice. after the reboot, they took off immediately (i can swear something happened to the power plant controlà). for us it was like a b-movie, like all never happenedàbut the communication, talking to the spirits from language to language planet to planetàand the wind dont forget the wind. after we came home we wrote this oneà. rjc philpot presents this debut 12inch of the reboot joy confession - our brothers from nowhere! the title track is a mindbending spiritual journey hosting the fabulous dwight trible on some next level beatdown xtravaganca while the flip features the massive disconodisco 1999 and the equally heavy <funkin facets<. àmore than a proper statement and the beginning of the rjc aera!! >thanks for listening and purchasing a real copy!<

its been 18 months since our first nang release, d-pulses >more<. nestled on that release was an extra ep track called >highway to saturn<. much to our delight it turned out to be a bit of a gem. when it featured on the tirk 02 and kitsune ponystep / jerry bouthier compilations we knew we were all onto something. (cue the overdrive and the interstellar vocal.) slovenian-based, us singer, hannah mancini, provides those cosmic vocals, ably recorded by sare havlicek in sunny ljubljan. after a sly re-titling of the track (to avoid confusion with the original the name has been extended to >on a highway to saturn<) its on to the obligatory over-the-top nang remix package...first up is a new version from d-pulse for those long summer nights. their >australian shore reversion< mix slows down the groove to a balmy evening by noosa shores pace. space-rock, guitar solos, smouldering synths and lazy rhythms all combine to make this one for the beach house. sare havlicek adds a couple of mixes of his own. keeping things hi-energy he goes for the disco jugular with his trademark stabby synths and tight production. nang newcomers, proper heat, strip things back and go for a slow-grooving baltic-disco chugger. rounding off the remix package is japanese based jan ken po (aka max essa). he delivers a dance floor friendly version with a big and bold walking bass riff and tasteful synths

after a recent short n sweet stint on tensnakes mirau imprint irish ex-pat mano le tough reemerges on internasjonal where he first saw the light of the day as a producer with the much acclaimed warhorn. yet even with such a rather small, straightforward discography mano managed to sculpture his unmistakeably very own style fusing the deeper shades of house and techno with a strong melodic sensibility that one would never even get the faintest idea to file it under the mostly bland tech-house genre. oblique boast a perfect effective dramaturgy with slighty spooky broken melody box theme rising out of a thick mist of grinding chords before morphing into a deep acid finale. french gentlemen of distinction and many styles chateau flight toughen up the beats and throw in some african wood percussions and sparse psychedelic dub effects for a superb rhythmically multi-layered rework.

adultnapper, real name francis harris, is a philosophy phd drop-out with punk rock roots. hailing from suburban las vegas, he has called brooklyn home for the past 9 years - a stretch in which he has gone from >hating dance music<, to establishing himself as an underground dj/producer with a unique sound and a global audience.

roma meets running back. final frontier/pigna/nature bossman, terrific producer, italian true school techno ledge and celebrated pasta boy marco passarani delivers new original material since his brilliant statostasi ep. the first one of a two part 12-inch series (no shit!) is walking in the shoes of the future while wearing the fine cut trousers of the past. here you you get it all, dear earthlings: science-fiction marathon tech-house, male martian mirror balls and sh-303 female robot acid. bassarani in your face! watch out for colliding stars pt. 2. limited to 500 copies in a retro-futuristic telescopic picture sleeve with even enough room to slip in the second platter (coming sooner or later to a theatre near you)!

tahloulas >we play house< in a remix incarnation by chris lattner is at last ready for release after figuring in charts and steadily garnering hype for more than a year. louise marie tüxens charming lyrics are sung on a morphing and modern house beat while a devastating organ-stab pushes the track on endlessly. a classic new york bass-line injects head-nodding and foot-tapping while small vocal snippets and fills create a layered floor-destroyer. a tune that easily could – and nearly did - stand alone, but to the luck of the listeners more is in store for them. emil & chesper, allows us the joy of putting out >the nigerian hustle<. dark and funky with rolling basslines and shadowy percussion, this track is heavily rooted in both berlins minimalism and detroits groovyness.to top off the good fortune is james braun & ubebes >neotony< – a percussion-oriented tech-house track reminiscent of chicago, where banging toms and vintage 808 claps all merge together to form a shining synergy, while blue chords and floating strings engulfs the listener.

gunnar stiller has always been known for producing dance floor >destroyers<, even if >far from okay< sounds a bit like a floor wax accident theres no need for the timid raver soul to get worried about slipping and falling. soft accords sedate the mind, the bass pumps in the adrenaline and a voice softly whispers that everything is going to be just fine…all you need to do is dance. when the janitor loko mops over the uy 038 floor with his remix you can even walk over it on the highest of high heels. it does in fact, get a bit rougher when the lights go out on >some kind of weird< and the smoke machine goes starts pumping. thats when its >black piste< time and thats no place for heidi klum or techno beginners…but who wants to be a model anyway, right?

mr white returns with a 3 track special. this is the follow up to the sun cant compare, the 2007 highlight - and once again this does not let you down. back with his mentor larry heard who brings the best out of the uplifting vocalist. side a - aeroplane lifts and drives on this tech-house journey. on the flip heard treats use to his deep world of house - larry at his best with mr whites twisted vocals on inside your mined. they round off the ep with you dont answer - a cross over tack of pure electronic pop simplicity.

everything from a small room. a few friends joke and start to record something.. something strange, indecipherable, or maybe just their souls. a voice begins to sound diffuse, catchy, distorted, hot. what happened to them on in that room don t know, but it was enough to convince us that this was a true story, unique ,inimitable. hooved was amused to construct a simple, yet many artists have come out of my mind, since the scsi-9: anton e maxim have made a pop song like this phoebe, that seems to be everywhere, but didn t think hitherto.. barrytone, new project of korablove, we delight rolled, cuts batteries and more pressing reason, unlikely to fade in your shelves. echonomist in greece seems to fall after many years in his bedroom, and start playing with the same old things, but with the eyes of this. finally tuccillo helps us find a very specific connotation, destination, disco. vinyl seems to sail on his last tour, but in the digital ve rsion will still expect the memories: l original track of hooved, version reinterpreted version of the cool voice hvoya, and the last train, the remix of dualism. a man and a woman summed up in just under 13 minutes all monsters and insecurities, words and glances, the soul of a gesture that turns into projects, loop, hours, bpm, second. apparel is pleased to present phoebe ep.

influenced by distorted electro sounds, to orchestral,jazz and blues pieces such as shostakovich and tom waits,he presents his first record,3 twisted and rocking tracks on archibell records.the first track right in the spotlight is >tokamak< a track with a dark kick and grind, featuring layered synths and vocal samples that break and drop with attitude.no time for intros this track hits hard and fast and leaves unexpectedly. next up is >g.i.g.a.s<, defined by its epic breaks, driving melody and sudden mood swing.perhaps the less sinister track out of the three, probably to give you a break for whats coming up next. unlike tokamak, nyxstarts with a slow baleful, classically influenced intro filled with suspense. eventually dropping into a deep atmospheric hard hitting groove. evil rhythm crafted with precise microsampling.

oh! there is one more 12 inch release in the vibes series! the fifth and last ep features 3 tracks by new recording artists from detroit. first up is mark king who gives us an emotive, deep vocal work-out that lasts close to nine minutes… just how we like it, pure soul! on the b-side there is detroiter dj raybone, who teams up with tj as well as rick wilhite for two more deep detroit late night house tracks. what a nice way to finish of this series. deep detroit deep! the b-side tracks are exclusive to this 12inch and wont be on the cd release

bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk
