three years after the much-loved second volume, wankelmut is back with the third edition of his wankelmoods compilation series. it is a fine window into his unique musical mind which packs lots of moods and grooves into its standout 24 tracks.

it seems somehow surprising that its only now that james zabiela enters the fold of balances compilation selectors. a perfect fit for the series, his unfeasibly intricate approach to djing shinesthrough on this sprawling two-parter, created through a back-and-forth process between his pioneer ddj-rz and ableton and featuring two exclusive new productions from the man himself.

ltd reissue cd des legend�ren dritten peacefrog-albums des detroiter house-produzenten kenny dixon jr. aka moodymann von 2003. -silence in the secret garden- ist ein pers�nlicher und spiritueller trip in das herz und die seele der black music. vom d�steren minimalismus des titeltracks bis zum unwiderstehlichen funk von -yesterday s party-, dieser klassiker wei§ auch 15 jahre nach seiner erstver�ffentlichung weiterhin zu �berraschen und zu inspirieren.

re-release , the third moodymann album to grace the worlds ears, forevernevermore holds some of the worlds greatest house music to date, tracks such as kennys take on chics >dont you want my love< and tribute an adage to soul master marvin gaye were featured on the two of the early and rarest kdj releases. often imitated but never bettered forevernevermore is on a level that is far beyond many producers, and still sounds as fresh today as it did on its initial release ten years ago. album fact: originally released in 2000 on peacefrog, forevernevermore contains a 17 minute mix of some of the rarer kdj moments by the mann himself

having co-compiled two albums, the real sound of chicago and the real sound of chicago and beyond for bbe, dj and producer mark grusane steps out of the shadows to present the real sound of mark grusane.
a highly personal selection of modern soul, disco and a little touch of boogie, these rare tracks have all been respectfully edited, chopped up or extended by mark himself. apart from the odd private vinyl pressing, or occasionally handing an edit over to close friends and djs such as fellow bbe artist sadar bahar, mark has never before made these tracks available (despite the throng of people waiting around to ask each time he finishes a set).

the dekmantel selectors compilation series is set to continue with a highly anticipated edition curated by joy orbison. first announced in 2015 when the selectors project was unveiled, the fourth compilation in the series finds the singular uk talent curating a sort of tribute to his home country and its rich musical history.

the night is what makes a big city come to life. right after sundown, the hectic buzzing of downtown makes way for adventure playgrounds, bathed in neon light, revealing their countless chances and opportunities. its when youll find the subway spitting out its purpose seeking passengers by the minute. a coming and going of restless people passing through. all it takes is a few hours, before the sunrise makes it all disappear. mental bend captures the magic of that very moment in their dreamy soundtracks. if you close your eyes, you can see blurry pictures passing in slow motion, accompanied by their atmospheric songs. grainy black and white snapshots, fragments of memories lighting up somewhere in the farthest corner of the cortex. one step is the berlin-based indietronica duos visually vivid debut album, released on enfant fenou. mental bend are all about letting go. sissip (voc/synth/bass) and hendrik havekost (beats/production) know how to trust their instincts, crafting their hypnotic signature sound, somewhere in between electronica, ambient and dream pop. before founding the band in 2013, the two were already shaping their skills in all kinds of different formations and styles of music. as soon as they got together, they had a viral mini hit with their song take my hand, praised on various tastemaker blogs and generating over 100.000 likes on soundcloud in no time. the bands first long play record one step is all about important experiences and decisions, small as well as big steps, all a part of making progress, which in the end can even be life changing. it was a step, that recently got mental bend their record deal on mos ferrys sub label enfant fenou

without new jersey native kerri kaoz chandler, house specifically deep house would sound very different. ever since his teens he has been making and playing music with a unique sense of soul, jazz and deepness. from majors like atlantic, king street sounds and nervous via his own madhouse, his releases are never short of genre-defining classics that have spawned a thousand copycats. affectionately referred to as the stevie wonder of house, kerriÕs dj sets take him all over the world and often find him playing live keys next to his informed selections. heÕs meticulous about sound, too, which means that no-ones kicks hit quite like kerris. his instantly classic and timeless dj-kicks mix, though, takes him out of the club and through a world of influences and inspiration

rezzs involvement in the toronto scene helped grow her gritty style. events like bassmentality and older shows at the legendary guverment helped shape not only rezz, but an era of electronic music producers who became inspired from early dj college tours. mass manipulation is a commentary on how easily our minds can become manipulated by the things we consume in society. we consume heavily through the media, which, in turn, tries to curate our thoughts and dictate how we as humans are supposed to live and behave. this album plays off this idea and invites people to become hypnotized, allowing their brains to be manipulated by my music in the hope they might see things through a new perspective (perhaps an outer world viewpoint) one where everyone is free from the unrealistic expectations planet earth has drawn for them. a world of acceptance and hypnosis.

since jim coles took on the mantle of om unit, the english producer has sought to challenge himself and his audience by going beyond the confines of genres and styles he has so far explored. in the process he has found success by striving for more feeling, for a more human and daring electronic music. this journey continues with ÔselfÕ, colesÕ third album as om unit and a true follow-up to his 2013 debut ÔthreadsÕ.
ÔselfÕ captures coles in a period of growth, change, and experimentation. inspired by personal psychological and emotional healing work, and a vision of the self as an egg Ñ which coles later on discovered is a jungian archetype Ñ the album blends dubwise, bass-heavy music with the space of experimental ambient compositions and the daring imagination of a cold wave science fiction soundtrack.
the first om unit album on colesÕ own cosmic bridge label, ÔselfÕ offers new forms amid familiar touches. stripping away what people might expect, coles deconstructed and reimagined his work so far as a challenge to himself and, in turn, to his fans.

the album is a collection of wonderful, emotional and very personal songs. written and performed by peter wangel, the lyrics are inspired by multi award winning, temporary norwegian writer karl ove knausgard and deal with very personal subjects from his own life. Òthe previous releases were about the ÒlonelyÓ feelings, the feelings that only existed in me, the feelings i wanted to set free for a long time. the new album is about my life as it is right now, about all the thoughts, expectations, worries and the happiness that comes with a new life as a family. this is a very personal album, but i also hope to express something very ordinary and something that most people can relate to.- also musically the album is a big step forward for wangel, the melodies are still subtle, but offer more nuances and colors.

with many influences, the musicians of la mano create a peculiar sound, a rock-salsa-ra�-reggae-rap cocktail which they baptize patchanka. manu chao, who writes lyrics, gives to the patchanka a more personal definition: a popular dance with apache lyrics and chorizo spirit. the band starts touring across france in october 1987 and rapidly establishes a solid reputation. a few months later, when the second record putas fever is released, the success is obvious. tracks sung in french, spanish or arabic, pas assez de toi, king kong five or sidi hbibi are immediate hits. after a long live-cruise in 1992 along the south american coasts, la mano negra gets back to france and separates in 1994. its hard to tell the impact of la mano negra across french and spanish speaking countries, with as many particular experiences that people lived during their tours.

though the origin of trance music lies back in the late eighties, there are still tons of trance fans out there whoÕve been enchanted by the early days of the genre. they are the same people whod lose themselves completely in their all-time favorite trance tune and would give anything to hear an all-classics live set. today, their hearts may have skipped a beat or two as armin van buuren released the twelfth installment of his Ôa state of trance classicsÕ series. stacked full of seminal records from the likes of above & beyond, armin van buuren, atb, chicane, cosmic gate, gareth emery, markus schulz, paul van dyk, signum, super8 & tab and more, Ôa state of trance classics, vol 12Õ turns any moment into a trip down memory lane. featuring a grand total of 36 classics in their extended, unmixed forms as well as an opening track that pays tribute to the pioneering efforts of the late robert miles, it stirs the embers of the near-ancient crowd favorites and allows them to entrance the world in the same manner they did years back. for anyone who looks back on the early years of trance with a smile brighter than the sun, a state of trance classics, vol.12 is a must-have.

what is modern russia? an infinite space filled with skyscrapers made of gas and oil, golden crosses on church domes made of titanium, thousands of multi-floor beehives with millions of concrete honeycombs, where the fate of tired people burn out every evening. sensitive and subtle stirrings of the mind, persistently pushing up towards the light through the bootstrampled dirt, and blackened by ignorance. an infinite space of a centuries old experiment of power over man, and man over power on its way from nowhere to nowhere.

pianos have featured in house music since day one. there s just something about the combination of looping piano chords and a skipping house groove which works so well. in contemporary dance music the piano still remains intrinsically linked to house, though it was in the late 80s and 90s that the true piano house classics were created. we took it to our hearts. the emotionally charged piano riff became a defining motif of uk dance music. producers knew they only had to alight upon a suitably uplifting three-chord piano hook in order to unleash a tide of misty nostalgia for rave s halcyon days. ministry of sound are proud to present piano house classics.

die phase zwischen stunde 0 und globalem impact: erste hip-hop-aufnahmen aus new york.

on his sixth album, the arc of tension, the berlin based dj, label owner and producer oliver koletzki yet again presents his remarkable vision of contemporary electronic music, while he assumes the role of a storyteller. the arc of tension speaks to its listener as a singular, self contained work, which communicates by way of its natural flow and arc of suspense. the latter is mirrored not only in the multifarious narrative of the actual album, but can also be understood as evidence for its creatorÕs long musical history. while koletzki focussed on a diverse range of vocal collaborations on his previous long players, he now moves on to a different form of storytelling, rooted in the quiet confidence of a veteran musician, as well as the hectic lifestyle of a globally in demand dj. the arc of tension is the psychonautic journey through the various continents of oliverÕs consciousness. the quiet chirps and warbles, which initially unfold on the opener a tribe called kotori, thus act as a loose associative bridge to der mu?ckenschwarm, olivers big breakthrough hit of 2005. the first minutes of the album leave no room for doubt - we are immediately locked into an autobiographical world of sound that knows how to captivate from the get go. the dreamy, exotic timbres of the downbeat tracks by my side, tankwa town and byron bay penetrate our minds in a subtle yet purposeful manner. but soon the tension tightens and organic sounds one by one evolve towards a sterner, electronic cadence.

als in den sp�ten 80er jahren die ersten outdoor-trance-partys im indischen bundesstaat goa stattfanden, h�tte niemand gedacht, dass sich dieser trend so lange halten bzw. weiterentwickeln w�rde. kaum eine andere dance-szene in europa hat ein gr�§eres zusammengeh�rigkeitsgef�hl als die goa-szene. hier wird musik und alles, was damit zusammenh�ngt, noch gelebt. zu keinem genre gibt es eine ausgepr�gtere und besser entwickelte -underground--partyszene, in zahlreichen foren und communitys stehen die fans in regem kontakt. st�ndig finden kleinere veranstaltungen statt, und im sommer sind die gro§en festivals und partys wie waldfrieden wonderland, vuuv festival, alice im wummerland oder psy-purgisnacht immer ausverkauft.

hotflush are proud to introduce an exciting young artist, pyur, along with her singular debut lp epoch sinus. despite her relative newness, pyur meets the world with fully formed and unique signatures in both visual and sonic work, revealing a deep artistry that transcends medium. growing up in munich, in and amongst the same fecund scene that spawned artists like the zenker brothers and skee mask, pyur cut her teeth from a young age as a guitarist and singer before becoming spellbound by the electronic worldÕs endless scope for sound design. endowed with innately strong synaesthesia and reared in a shamanic household, she tells how music Òplayed the biggest role in my growth. it alone had the purpose to help me dissolve boundaries, discover the beauty of lifeÕs mechanisms, create freely. it talked. soon i felt like the music was making me, not the other way round.Ó epoch sinus is a seamless and heartfelt whole, a life-like being unto itself, describing the disintegration of barriers between the self and the all. here pyur offers an intimate and personal statement, combining knowledge of universal harmony with electronic music. she states: Òi m mainly influenced by my inner visions and nature itself, yet also a lot from club culture, which is undoubtedly an important space of connection and freedom for so many people. the record dances playfully between supposedly incompatible qualities: moments of brutality turn to softness, new life embraces decomposition, while explosive rhythmic and melodic structures are tempered with gentle and subtle percussion.

the tiger is back - finally on full length again! the second studio album for tiger & woods not only marks a desired return to a specific format, but is also a huge leap forward in their area of expertise: their brand of fun and functional dance music gets broadened by influences from electronica, italo disco and up-tempo house, while keeping a groove that is distinctly linked to what some people refer to as boogie.

der londoner dubstep-pionier und hotflush-labelbetreiber scuba aka paul rose beweist seine einzigartigkeit mit einem 75-min�tigen fabric-set aus 42(!) �ber- und nacheinander gelegten tracks. unterschiedliche k�nstler wie pearson sound und patrick cowley, donato dozzy und midland treffen in einer d�ster-verf�hrerischen atmosph�re aufeinander, so dass man sich zwischen pumpendem lo-fi techno und subsonischen b�ssen im rave-kosmos verliert.

with half a century of existence, beninese band poly-rythmo can easily be considerate as legends of the african music alongside sela kuti and tinariwen. drawing their name from the extensive mix of influences that forged their sound (american soul and funk, nigerian afrobeat, french chanson, congolese rumba, etc.), they are known to be impressively productive as they released from 1969 to 1980 hundreds of eps and dozens of albums. in 2014, orchestra conductor florent mazzoleni visited the band and decided to produce this new album recorded in the legendary african studio satel. with its warm tone and mastery of rhythm variations, Ômadjafalao (watch out) will instantaneously become a classic of afrobeat and poly-rythmo will share their warm joie de vivre with thousands of people

�hnlich wie bei tuff city kids selbst, geht es bei -adoldesscent- nicht um eine bestimmte stilrichtung oder einen sound. vielmehr ist es der ansatz der verschmelzung. und damit ist endlich der nachweis erbracht, dass die verschiedenen ecken des elektronischen musikspektrums wesentlich mehr gemeinsam haben, als man gemeinhin vermuten w�rde. aber was noch viel wichtiger ist und am ende mehr z�hlt als all das: es zaubert ein l�cheln aufs gesicht!
