vier mal dillon ganz anders: nach dem sensationellen debütalbum von dillon und einer ausverkauften tour folgt nur die erste remix-single! disco, dubstep, house, techno, strobo-licht, cowbells, handclaps, piano, breaks - for those who know remixes mit dem house-maestro chaim aus tel aviv, dem disco-/house-newcomer call super (five easy pieces/london), dem hot n coming dubstep-duo kodiak (numbers/london) und den tech-house hit-lieferanten catz n dogz! tipp!

following a pair of fine releases on fine art and under the shade, james johnston delivers another superb ep for no matter what. >after everything< is a masterfully created slice of rolling deep house flirting with disco styles, punctuated with snippets of disco guitar licks and dubbed out vocal samples, all held together with a sumptuous chord sequence. the comparatively upbeat tempo rhythm and deep subs of >lost the house keys< which follows comes as something of a surprise, and the chopped up piano which causes the track to erupt into a flurry of jacking rhythms only add to the proto-chi house mood. the rest of the tracks continue with the same kind of upbeat pace, with >get back to the feeling< interlacing a variety of female vocal samples within its 909 rhythms, and >xtc< injecting some serotonin into the ep with its razor sharp synth stabs and snares, whose rhythms recall the deadly precision of marc kinchens early productions...

jay shepheards retrofit imprint reaches its seventh release with this fine ep of old school sounds with an undeniably modern feel. >hefty done me right< begins proceedings with a house-disco hybrid sporting a particularly meaty analogue bassline, 80s electro vocal samples and shimmering pop synths, while >the electric model< marries a distinctly kraftwerk-esque motorik vibe with balearic disco sweeps and horns. on the flip, >one night in puzon< opens with a tense rising string line, broken with a crystalline piano mosaic and deep squelching bass. finally, tw closes proceedings with his own dub take on >hefty done me right<, amping up the electro feel of the original with an mpc cut-up style reworking filled with heavy vocal samples and rolling piano stabs, transplanting the original from its italian roots to 80s harlem.

gorje hewek & izhevski present modern house par excellence on pro-tez records. >aureol< evolves around gorgeous, arpeggiated padded piano keys and perpetual house percussion layered with elegantly uplifting stings and moody vocal snippets. >inspire< is more bass driven, with daintier, mesmerizing keys and slow-burning atmospheres. not to be missed.

two dazzling, out-there contributions from the inimitable actress: an immersive, slashing thumper, ecstatic and convulsive, multi-layered and head-nodding, just about getting mars on the radio, and a kind of unhinged marimba and thumb-piano variation, grubbing around manically in half-memories of african polyrhythm

from the estrela archives of exactly that period comes the original, which was crafted by portuguese calapez at the time, as well as the newly edited pyjamas remix. calapez builds the theme monkeymonkey on top of a playful piano roll and swinging beats – simple and pure. with a wink the pyjamas remix carries that approach and the minimalist melody on, while adding a nice portion of acid. but the absolute highlight of this release, as already alluded in the incoming quote is definitively the more than cutting edge house remix of sacco vanzetti duo. funk, power, tempo and lightness: its got the ground formula to spin itself into the perpetual hunting grounds of the absolute house purist.

the time has now come for eklektisch to unveil release number 006 and a debut from melohman & javi bora (20:20 / upon you). staying true to the label s ethos, the pair harnessed the warmth of the summer and with flurry of piano chords, created another feel good dancefloor anthem in >you love you<.
the first of the remixes sees label boss edu imbernon pay tribute to his summer on the white isle with his villaimberlove remix. a weighty kick drum, spritely key melody and fiercely plucked strings make for a more driving version of the original.
more upfront still, is the rework from uk house don steve mac. having spent enough time of his own in ibiza this summer and celebrated the release of his artist album >roots<, steve looks to inject a large dose of pace and tech-muscle, whilst bathing us in aggressive and effective synths.

ghetto funk presents slynk. evan chandler aka slynk had music on the mind from birth. naturally gifted with a musical ear he flirted with a range of classical instruments including piano, guitar and drum. it soon became apparent that his ear was best suited to his own style of ghetto funk inspired bootlegs and remixes.
slynks first artists ep for ghetto funk has already been getting support from some of the scenes biggest players and his track boomin even appeared on krafty kuts most recent promo mix. his work is highly sought after by djs around the world while his forward momentum knows no boundaries. expect big things from this rising star and this ep is no exception.

as said in the info for dérive vol. 2 in 2010, haste makes waste. that in mind it does not surprise it took even more than a year for dérive to come up with vol. 3, but finally its there.a 1 björnski & a different jimi_9 to 5derive co-owner björnski opens up with his first release >9 to 5<, a collaboration with his partner-in-crime a different jimi. sharing a passion for deep house and jazz music, they produced this hypnotic eight minute track built around a jazzy piano loop that melts together with the bass line, surprising the listener with jimis saxophone solo. b1 achim maerz_haters gonna hate >haters gonna hate< comes from derives resident producer achim maerz who just released his first mini album >this is the end< on fine art recordings this summer. obviously it was just the beginning, as he comes up with a warm, deep and dubby yet still pushing track that lets you wanting the night to last forever. b2 tilman tausendfreund_with you the last track on this record is delivered by hamburgs latest talent, tilman tausendfreund. after releasing great solo tracks and coops with christopher rau (e.g. on contentismissing or hypercolour), on >with you< he chills it down to a funky 95 bpm, soulful sweet little something that works great both in your club and bedroom.

stylistically different from their previous releases, the dynasty ii ep is a catchy, propulsive and perhaps at times even romantic release. providing four energetic songs of varying mood, the ep proves that the boys can always deliver. the ep included cesares road tested >what do u want<, a straightforward old school banger with deep distorted synths and a monster vocal hooks. the track is then also remixed by both jeremy & cesare adding both depth and character to the already powerful original.

highly recommended! marieu comes back with an amazing solo e.p. on his own label enlightened wax after the worldwide success of his first work, heavily played by the most appreciated underground djs. as usual, this record has been written, mixed and produced only on dusty machines and recorded on juicy magnetic tape. the opening track, >ancient times< is a capturnig fat deep house track with a subtle female chant and space-station pads a2, >heat eninges< is build on an heavy ground shaking bass, a wagging latin piano riff. big claps, and sharp cymbals. funky and relentless, its just an essential choice for every swingin dj. on side b,>radiant< develops on a solid bass drum a filtered house groove making a breach to a charming jazzy piano and a blues voice. a complete feeding for every hungry dancefloor b2, >spectrum<begins with a dark hypnotizing groove enlightened in the middle of the track by an uplifting motorcity pad. striking and suggestive.

brilliant detroit piano house nuggets - dj john collins edits....features productions from mad mike banks

excellent 4 track vinyl with fantastic deep house. it gets started with >spring loop<, a track that looks to its name both for feeling and production sense. of course that sensuous vocal sample that gets drawn through it wouldnt do the job on its own, but rau knows that too and surrounds it with a warm, humid bassline and his always changing and snapping drums to keep it in the pocket for the whole 5 minutes. even though the groove on the a1 is already heavy for him, he goes deeper yet with >swearing (vinyl version)< that jamaican vocal is something so classic that we wont spoil it here, but the pumping house beat and piano stabs he winds around it give even more poignancy to the lyrical substance… we are pretty sure that by the time he finally echoes the vocal out late in the track there will be some hands in the air for this one

following their recent track on reduxs pick & mix vol. 1, the disco legend that is pete herbert and melbournes golden fleece further cement their collaboration with this full ep on space walker records. >ivory waves< is a 90s influenced cut of uplifting piano-driven balearic house, complete with lush cosmic flourishes, whilst >the bells of hackney< is a more low-slung, but no less powerful production. initially combining a snaking live bassline and spaced-out arpeggios, the track builds to a crescendo as heavily flanged piano and tights guitar licks come into play. the b-side meanwhile serves up two remixes of >ivory waves<, lithuanias downtown party network recompose it as an even more-good time anthem (if such a thing is possible) with their trademark melodic charm, while slovenias sare havlicek takes the track into deeper territory bringing the thick bassline teasing the melody with dubbed out stabs, slowly bringing the huge piano line in before dropping it with force, taking the anthem potential of the original and running with it.

uncanny the label that took everyone by surprise comes with more goodness! the third artist-ep by dresden-based label comes from house- and hip hop-mastermind cuthead and is nothing less than a proper power package. with vibratin things start off as deep as the bottom of the sea. underneath cutheads dense drums there is an intense and meditating synth line which is eventually complimented by an acid figure as if it was an evil twin. brother rolls in with a mighty kick drum, before a catchy sample and not less catchy piano motives prepare for a propitiating end. with transgressions and its bass line for the bigger floors things get down to house business once again. the remaining two tracks then give an impression of what happens, if cuthead takes to the mpc for his liveset. in seram lembah und heartless cuthead combines his drumming with south east asian disco-mantras und bittersweet blues chants to heavy hip-hop-grooves. loving it!

supported by: alex agore, skipson, roman rauch, marquese, drei farbenhouse,ynks second ep for tenderpark approaches the subject tenderness with a lot of feel for musicality: on dana limes the young man from frankfurt combines gentle piano melodies with multi-faceted, powerful rhythms and a feld recording the musician has recorded in helsinki.park theme relies on an even more subtle feld recording from a small park in vienna, slows down the tempo and delights us with a deep black bass groove.and with the piano piece etude ynk not only proves his love for this instrument once more, but also shows compositional skills which reach way beyond the standards in the electronic music scene.

cosmic cowboys are back on mgf. there would be no need to say anything else as the grooving armada from venice already left its trademark with releases like the > dusk ep< or the > piano africano ep< but of course theres more to say. nico and kaled, for their third release on > musik gewinnt freunde<, deliver a dancefloor monster that keep all of their quintessential romantic touch but reshaping it in a different way this time. fully oriented to the dancefloor the a-track >notre jour viendra< comes along the an amazing remix of the berlin duo youandme. signing a perfect reinterpreation that leaves the listener speachless

osman strauss split ep presents two great deep-house tunes by rahmi cihan & dj credes! >abgebrecht< on the info-side by turkish-rooted guy rahmi cihan is an outstanding shaker with a quote of german litterateur berthold brecht flowed by rahmi himself. >honz< on the logo-side by dj credes combines interplanetary groove, with a soulful speech of a beautiful jazz-queen, which create a deepkickin southflavoured late-nite hymn. rahmi cihan is busy in producing and playin music since over a decade now. being beatsport member since day one his contribution to this split ep is the well compromised result of long-year experienced flow including dark-dub vocals, major chords and echoing bells. >abgebrecht< for real can be described as ramis personnel signature tag of authentic dancemusic. dj credes was discovered by bespmusic in 2010 and now it s time to pop his cherry with >honz<. the house-addicted vinyl lover delivers a dark scattered bassline, funky claps and a resonant burning synth line. piano licks, vocal snippets and an acid line driven peak time speech issue proper instructions to the crowd.

man make musics second release is a collaboration between two talented londoners, jack dixon and rick grant. having already made waves with individual releases on labels such as brownswood, hypercolour and take, these two good friends now offer up a pair of brilliantly off-kilter house tracks. >running man< is a heady mix of skipping percussion and caressing juno synth-lines, whilst, on the flip, >muted< takes a more understated, melancholic turn, counterbalancing the ecstatic nature of the a-side. jack and ricks contributions are also offset by kevin mcphees weird and wonderful slow-mo interpretation of >running man<. the remix blends vocals drenched in reverb with creeping piano riffs and shows yet another musical side of a man garnering plaudits from all corners for his unique style.

-nothing gold- ist bereits das vierte album von joakim, das der franzoesiche dj und produzent diesmal auf seinem eigenem label tigersushi veroeffentlicht. der titel entstammt einem gedicht von robert frost, welches sich in s.e. hintons buch -the outsiders

after successful remixes for oliver koletzki, niko schwind and animal trainer, its björn störigs turn to deliver the goods on his first solo ep, >humming top<. and boy, does he deliver: the fresh youngster presents high-calibre musical house, spiced up with funk, disco and jazz aesthetics. title track >humming top< doesnt waste much time: crisp percussive elements are laid over a beefy bass-line from the get-go, while a progressive piano melody mingles with a distinctly vintage synth.

release number four on upcoming swedish label local talk brings more of that local talk talent, this time we are presenting an ep by swedish producer andreas saag. andreas is no newcomer to the scene, with releases on freerange, a room with a view, rebirth, deepermotions, artizan and tokyo dawn records out and remixes for laurent garnier, joy orbison, portformat and danny howells, he has become a favourite among many djs and producers. his debut for local talk, back to life ep, contains two stunning house jams that aims straight for the dancefloors. the main track is a piano and strings driven house monster that almost sounds like an updated version of >strings of life< but with a deep/tech feel. should be big in the main rooms! on the second track mr saag delivers a house cut that sounds like its straight out of south africa with a raw tech/afro feel. its dark, deep, percussive and 100% house!

after years of seeming decline, its refreshing to see the cultural melting pot that is new york firmly back on the global electronic music scene but with the city’s crime rates dropping and a more liberal attitude to partying abounding once more, an invigorated crew of djs and producers are now cropping up with increasing regularity. one such individual is italian-cum-new yorker antonio piacquadio. the ep is nonetheless sure to draw attention as a result of its remixes: both of which arrive courtesy from big-hitters from the techno/house hybrid.the first of these - from cecille mainstay butch – is typical of the sankeys resident, as he jettisons practically all else in favour of a catchy bassline and a smattering of luscious piano keys. in another coup for the label, radio slave then adds his own touch, performing a typical manoeuvre by taking no prisoners via his remix - a stirring concoction of subtle, ominous bells and sporadic, tight grooves.

very welcome reissue of the original sire records release of dinosaur s kiss me again from 1978. written and produced by disco legends arthur russell and nicky siano and weighing in at a heavy 13 minutes long, this is a truly hypnotic disco odyssey which takes you on a curling and tension-filled journey through funky piano riffs, signature scratchy guitar work by talking heads supremo david byrne, tumbling drums, stabbing horns and of course mr russell s swirling atmospheric cello solos. all this is held together by myriam valles beautiful yearning vocal performance until the crazy mind-blowing orgasmic final minutes where david byrne goes wild and the whole thing explodes in pure dancefloor meltdown. choose from the a-side jimmy simpson mix or dinosaur s own more stripped down, chaotic but equally compelling mix on the flip. huge in new york especially at nicky sianos own gallery nightclub, later championed by frankie knuckles in chicago and more recently chosen by twitch as the perfect record to end the very last optimo espacio, this is a true disco classic and absolutely essential in any discerning record collection.

welcome to the first love sick recordings release brought to you by the likes of riskotheque, marchmellow and screen age & mudie (aka southbound hangers). a side >all alone< provides an exhilarating journey through heartbreak, loss and isolation. in the intro, delayed piano chords hint at distant happy memories but soon make way for stark 808s and womb-like sub frequencies that bring the listener back to bitter reality. insistent vocal snippets serve only to galvanize the tracks emotional content. truly a song to cry to as much as dance. in contrast to this is aa >you dont understand<. positivity and hope pervade this little beauty, its glistening synth hooks and intricate drum programming conjuring thoughts of joy and new found affection. perhaps the perfect sound-track to a summer romance.

state of the art work on the dusty binding between house, techno, dubstep and analogue processing.
on side a: a dancefloor smasher with solid 808 beats and absorbing newyorkian piano hooks, followed by a touching acidic inner voyage into motor city sweetest reminiscences.
on side b, a proper piece of functional minimalism and a soulful uptempo excursion into the garage territories. the heat of magnetic recording, the funkyness of the machines, the driving force of the human feeling.

synapsis records is back with a excursion into deep house with a new record from hakim murphy called moonbeam express ep. in this presentation there are three tracks that explore the deeper side of murphys subconscious in which he describes this vinyl sound as an express trip to the moon through cosmic textures, deep grooves, and subliminal funk. moonbeam express egins the journey of soft pads that beam you up to a nice bass sound, strings, and moving percussion. weep has deep pads that begin the piece as a melody, then strings, and bass soon follow to open up moods of deepness. flirt is an uptempo joint that begins with a smooth synth then proceeds into a piano riff that sneaks up on you and teases your eardrums. yeah taking it deep.

its a love story: stil vor talent have long been mad about niconé and sascha braemer so that the recent past has seen some very memorable releases by the two producers. now its about time they join forces to release a whole album together, of which the first set of two vinyl packages is taken. known for their often very musical techno and house productions, >romantic thrills part 1< encapsulates this style while adding an extra element of sex and pop appeal, without straying too far from the dancefloor. >pianotic<, >runaway< and >caje< are three prime examples of how to incorporate piano, trumpet or guitar melodies organically into electronic music without sounding artificial

nice price deal !!! incl the mega track >in a blink of an eye< - pure euphoria! decks tipp.. it would be to easy to categorize satori as a techno producer. of course there were the clubhits with his partner in crime el mundo, there were long hot nights, exuberant dancefloors, pounding beats and pure ecstasy. but the person behind satori has another side, a side that also wants to pour his personal impressions into sound. meet in to void, a remarkable debut in every sense. forget about those dancefloors for a moment, the place where satori left his mark so clearly these last years. place yourself in the person djordje petrovic, born form a serbian father and south african mother, raised with balkan music, afrobeat, jazz and world music in all shapes and sizes. someone who educated himself in playing guitar and piano and also wants to showcase this other side of his music. produced in the moments in between his sessions with el mundo a series of tracks came about that characterize satori most accurately. deep, sensitive and worldly, but mostly compelling and utterly beautiful. in to void is a musical moodboard, an emotional blog if you like, where thoughts and impressions by djordje petrovic force themselves to you in a hypnotic trip, subtle but irresistible.
