Âme (innervisions): really like it! c-rock (motorcitysoul / cocoon): wicked ep! directly in my set erik (giant step): i’m really feeling the bar of choice ep (will definitely add to my personal chart for the coming month)… >bad weeds grow tall< and >goin steady< are my favs!! ric mcclelland (urbantorque): bad weeds no. 2 in chart asli (farside / thugfucker): brilliant stuff! lars behrenroth: would fit perfectly in my set

massive indie/electro fusion!! includes radio edit. flip for over & out

panorama bar hit!!! played out by the likes of richie hawtin, dubfire, magda, holgi star, dave shokh, gus gus, mark broom. the labelhead of rotary cocktail recordings >two_em< starts at dekadent with an berlin influenced track called >manjala<. remix support he received from a well-known old friend someone else, and the ascending producers of spektre, on the flipside. both remixes have completely different characters. the foundsound boss presents a crazy afterhour track for the wild panoramabar sessions and in contrast of it, the 2 guys from uk take the best parts and built up a strange technomonster.

the nu school of finnish neu rave teams up for this insane 12inch. new judas with raw and noisy rock attitude and top billin with uppercut party breaks! big with the ed banger crew

steve kotey needs little introduction, head honcho of bear entertainment, an accomplished producer and a member of chicken lips. kotey is joined on this record by max essa. having previously released on paper recordings back in 2001 max also played guitar with the infamous, long distance runners. steve & max have delivered 3 beautiful records in the shape of the salon de l herbe series. this ep offers up everything good that is disco from the up tempo 1974 a side to the spaced out vibes of 1988. if that wasnt enough this 12inch release is finished off with a 3 rd track 1981 on the cosmic/balearic tip. the years may become confusing but with live drums, guitars and slick arrangement words cant do these productions justice. more to come from these two with a follow up in the salon de l herbe series dueto be released in june/july 08, exciting stuff!

hot melodic primetime electro techno by david carcet.. watch out his comming release on kartoon

an incredible ep with namlook exploring the edges of minimal techno and deep ambient, while the remixes are pepe bradocks most dancefloor oriented works in ages! macro delivers a stunning release by a man who has not only produced 3 collaborational albums with richie hawtin, but also runs the ultra influential fax label with an artist roster ranging from speedy j to bill laswell to klaus schulze: namlook is a true electronic pioneer in a league of his own. the track >subharmonic atoms< was produced back in 1995 and is re-released by macro as a long out of print electronic prototype on the edge of minimal techno and ambient. but dont think this is a retro affair: subharmonic atoms sounds incredibly fresh and proves it is as groundbreaking, innovative and timeless as jeff mills early axis works or hawtins concept1 series. entirely remastered from the original source and cut in unparalleled sound quality, it is available on a single 12inch side for the first time ever. the release is completed with nothing short but french remix master pepe bradocks triumphant return to the dancefloor. his versions of >atoms< are rocking upfront house burners, which his fans have been waiting for since 2003s intrusion ep. definitely one of this years hottest packages

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

killer modern house from depths of deep space. adam marshalls original mix takes swinging chicago drums and paints them a dark black, while chord stabs morph and evolve in a tough, organic style on this 11-minute journey. mike shannons impressive re-working tightens everything up and funks the hell out of the groove with sizzling dry hats, sub-bass ruminations, and one serious breakdown. one of his best remixes yet by far. both are serious club killers

opener >playing for keeps< is an exhilarating trip, centered around a swinging mapped by crunching beats. chopped and skewed, pulsing electro house melodies fight for attention with sampled cuts of big band, tiring to a slow and heavy halt before picking themselves up and punching it out to close. >playing for daddy’s girl< is an equally agitated reprise, introducing distorted 8-bit melodic tones and a throbbing deep bass into the fray as a sampled audience cheers on the ensuing battle for the listeners attention. on the b side, the mole transforms >playing for keeps< into a driving house number, with subtly escalating melodic synth growing into a deep and hypnotic dark electro sweat fest

after butch aka bee low, amir & the groove rebels the next resident dj of the 50 grad club mainz/germany starts producing: marcello nuncio and his production partner amir (groove rebels) turned out his first single charlie - a very warm, deep, and minimalistic electrohouse tune. on b1 taste t.s remix picks up that feeling, gives it much more energy and turns it into the perfect prime time tool. the overset mix on b2 takes the motiv of the song an transforms it to a massiv electro bomb like her first hit. on the dancefloor

nice price deal !!! art bleek is a name thats been doing the rounds for a few years now. the paris based producer never fails to live up to expectations whether it be deep minimal housers, downtempo jazzed-out loungers, broken beat or straight up hip hop, versatility is the mans game. hes recorded for labels such as rush hour & loungin and now for sick trumpet he brings californian vocalist charlie sputnik along to make the french connection. first up is all night, a mid-tempo nu-jazz shuffler that glides between broken beat and house with a killa groove, walkin bass lines, vocal hooks and scats a plenty from mr sputnik. support already from domu with plays on his 1xtra show zed bias takes the track and turns it into a new jersey house bumper with that added biaspheric twist weve all come to expect - big ! on the flip we have brothers & sisters, an electronic influenced houser with a bassline bigger than the eiffel tower and slicker than platini. with charlie sputnik again on vocals he provides the perfect narrative & melody to this dancefloor smasher ! the dub mix of this is something else…..anyone for dubstep electonica ? check

paul hammond is a london-based producer and founder of the label real soon. he has been making records since 1984 originally with industrial avant-funk group a primary industry and then from 1989-1998 as ultramarine in partnership with ian cooper. paul’s musical roots were established in the early 1980s listening to the new wave funk & electronic experiments of a certain ratio, 23 skidoo, cabaret voltaire, the pop group, new order, gang of four, the slits, the raincoats and the broader independent scene of the time typified by labels such as factory, rough trade

support from todd terje, lindstrom, ewan pearson, james murphy, mylo, nightmoves, toby tobias!! debut release from dundee’s sam annand, full of deep and dubby electronic beats, live drums and twisted jazz chords. the >birds of prey< ep is the first instalment in what is set to become an album project in the second half of 2008. from the dubbed out title track >birds of prey<, muted soundscapes of >sleeping bear lament<, crunchy off-beat drums on >into the cosmos< and ending with the driving little electro rhythm >packard<, the percussive energy in this music knocks you sideways and leaves you baited for the next rhythmic twist. a few demos of this ep have been circulating, and have caused quite a stir already. architeq’s live set is already a huge, talked about and memorable experience. sam moved to london a year ago so expect his

d passion had some guests over at his studio, and heres the result! the collabs, a special release featuring 4 collaborations of d passion with artists from all around the scene. the first one might be a combination of 2 of the youngest, yet most thriving forces in the harder dance, take the risk is d passion and italian mad dog kicking it with bassdrums, tight melody and sharp vocals. together with promo, d passion sat down and created the last track of the night, a track with a large intensity grade shows their view on how the last 5 minutes of an event could and should sound like. the b-side might be a familiar one to many. last year, d passion and unexist provoked each other to non stop hardcore antics, and the two tracks which resulted from this session might be some of the hardest out there! bring the noise and what the hell are the best examples of how intense the combination of the unexist style and d passions production skills can be.

with >sweet murmur< the duo fabio delletorre and ennio colaci, aka minimono, delivers a funky track, that is carried by a simple deep chord. it spreads the typical oslo vibe. a hypnotic tool with percussive elements, not too obvious, no straining for effect, but deep and driving. so is the flip side of the record, with a track called >house in the house<. it s the first release of markus fix on the olso sublabel. with this pumping, energetic house tool, he definitely points out his love to this genre.

pogo features digitalisms trademark synth saturated production & live drums, but they ve introduced some new order esque guitars & jens moelle from the band singing vocals. these remixes of pogo comes courtesy of css. digitalism make electronic music that everyone can rock to - they are part of a new breed of producers leading the renaissance in electronic music reinvigorating and uniting the indie and dance scenes. after their sell out dates last year, hamburgs hard working digital duo continue to troop the globe with even bigger tours at even bigger venues before hitting the festival circuit.

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers

andrés first release for simple records >wanna feel< is all about the resonant, hypnotic bassline that steadily opens out to reveal more layers of harmony. little sounds and licks of melody dance around the bass whilst strings and stabs build the hook into one big crescendo. brooks melancholic strings, cleverly cut up the bassline and an eerie soundscape pushes the vibe of the original into a darker more sinister techno place….this is the lights out, heads down, touch me in the dark kind of groove that we love! finally >move< is an absorbing and patient deep house gem. plunging into a backdrop of prodded keys that subtly shift in shape and tone, a central synth melody climbs to euphoric climax before retiring back to waves of throbbing bass and rolling percussive loops

the outside agency just wont stay down. just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in. genosha 16 brings us the second installment of goes noord vs the rest of the world. for this super awesome release the outside agency collaborated on a set of awesome dancefloor stormers together with ruffneck, petrochemical, ophidian and fracture 4. all four tracks have their own distinct sound ranging from dark and driving to driving and dark!! this release is guaranteed to have at least one track on it that will totally destroy any dancefloor you may find yourself facing.

get ready for this summer palate ! laposer have come out of nowhere with the biggest club rocker for us since dubfires and guido schneiders plastikman remixes hits the decks last year.taste this african twist, floor rasing house anthemas it sweeps through momentous build ups and spiced with a touch of outstanding percussion and a whole lotta house and groove for good measure. the b-side is irresistible as well, yet even more modern. no digital sales, no minimal ! pure vinyl! both songs drip of the sweat of the dancefloor -- each swinging with a tight, static afro-beat/house/funk-fused propulsion

welcome to the deepest nightmare of pulshar, welcome to nospheratus territory. an unforgettable trip into the darkest side of the bands soul, inspired by the cult movie nospheratu, this is one of the greatest dub and melancholic tracks of the year. a trippy bass and envolving melodies for an instant bloody dub joy. rod modell and steven hitchell take the controls on the b side and produce one of their best reworks yet under their echospace alias. they have reduced the original track to a deep and emotional piece. a majestic cavalcade into dub techno, a composition full of rich textures which remind of a cloudy day in detroit city, accompanied by a subtle conga that kicks off from the middle of nowhere and turns out really smooth, deep & dark. a little different than the material from their album on modern love, more reduced into the deepchord sound, a little more scaled back

dark but somehow funky techno killer. after having massive support from all the major players during 2007 (hawtin, garnier, 2000 & one, mr. c, wink, troy pierce), esperanza strikes back in 2008 with the comeback of franco cinelli to the label. franco introduces us two oldschool infused bombs with intricate sounds that won t go out of your mind for a long time.

for the new album, liars and prayers, thalia has expanded upon her touring band of the last few years of daniel coughlin (drums) and david curry (viola, trumpet) to fill out the sound with the bass and piano of winston braman (consonant, sherperdess, fuzzy) and mel lederman (victory at sea). liars and prayers is the masterwork of her thus far impressive career. her voice and songs have never been stronger and the full band and the recording by andrew schneider (unsane, cave in) allows her to combine the delicacy of the arrangements of her trio with the force that was her band come. the very moving body memory is a poignant example of this perfect synthesis.

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.

pan-pot’s debut longplayer pan-o-rama turns out to be the gift that just keeps on giving. first there was the lead single >charly>, backed by an infectious remix from lady mobilee herself, anja schneider. now they hand the baton to marco resmann and zander vt, who each perform their own magic on two more killer cuts from the album.
