next up in studio barnhus split coloured 10 inch series (the previous installment was acid andy and axel boman on yellow vinyl) is handsome newcomer hnny and barnhus very own desperado kornel kovacs. on the a side, hnny takes a saccharine rnb cover of perhaps the greatest power ballad ever and turns it into a perfect little edit – as simple as it is inspired, this is an obvious end-of-the-night-turn-the-lights-up-in-the-club-anthem if we ever heard one. on the logo side, kornel kovacs brings the heat with down since 92 - a bass-driven, vocal-laced pop house song about hate, love and jealousy. break it down! red vinyl, no digital - limited to 300 copies worldwide. barnhus bang the party once again! freshness.

while the first release on wania, busen & paleos >stream of love< (featuring dj sotofetts anthemic overdub-12inchedit) was a rather leftfield affair, dritfett is aimed more directly towards the dancefloor. the label artwork gives a clear clue as to what this release is all about: amongst a number of cryptic messages and shout-outs in norwegian - a tr-909 logo. all the tracks here are based around the 909 - thunderous kickdrums and sharp, hissing hi-hats that cut through the mix. still, theres a broad range of sounds, from head-down, fists-clenched warehouse workouts with an industrial edge, to more melodic tracks with detroit references aplenty. make no mistake though: this is all about the power of the almighty 909. theres no fancy tricks here‚ no ableton-trickery or polished waveforms, just good honest techno with a real raw live feel. this gives the tracks the energy and spontaneity that is sorely missed in many of todays productions. the kind of energy you will find - in abundance - in the house and techno releases of the 90s. the kind of energy that can only be achieved by pressing play on a machine, frenetically twisting knobs and punching buttons while letting the energy of the room decide where to go next.

played and supported by chris liebing, tommy four seven,speedy j, adam x, norman nodge, colin dale, dave ellesmere, brendon moeller, audio injection, forward strategy group, arnaud le texier, ness and more.
second release for the label created by darkcell. another step in the deep darkness of the modern techno, industrial, where the sounds come together to repetitiveness. sounds powerful but always hidden by a fog that makes the original track for a walk in our modern times. the remix of perc (perc trax, clr, etc.) makes the whole vision faster and stressful .. creating a set of rhythmic and repetitive sounds that destroy and alter any vision around ourselves. the version of bcr boys (nachtstrom schallplatten, darknet, etc.) has drawn much more syncopated, and industrial, the sound cut the atmosphere created by the syncopated rhythms ... a set of mysterious forces surrounding the whole track. power of darkness!

the baalsaal family is so happy with this one. we would like to warmy welcome doctor dru and the adana twins, more hamburg power to our label. this will not be last imprint promised. although when we look out of the window, there might be leaves falling down and darkness to come soon. this is a late summer groove that will make you smile with a melancholic twist

local actions seventh vinyl release is the official follow-up to t. williams and terri walkers 2010 anthem >heartbeat<, and comprises three of t. williams heaviest instrumental tracks to date. >break broke< is the sound of williams getting darker, with synths that glow like an overcooked power grid and one of the most ruff-neck drops you will hear anywhere this year. >go in< is for the djs, a palette cleanser that is tailor-made to mix long and deep, but its >analog tour< that is arguably this records stand-out – opening with a two-and-a-half minute intro of acid ambience, electro claps and super-heavy 808 kicks, and climaxing as a full-on 303 hydra.

excellent fresh & warm ambient techno, incl free cd version of the album inside

on their last album franz and jakob aka format b were to be found covered in soot and coal, firing up the engines of the dance locomotive, now they have gone greener and swapped over to wind power and are fishing the >restless< oceans of the world. tirelessly the two sailors work on the deck disregarding the cold and the weather, pulling in the nets filled with floundering hits. this time they have spiced up the bait with the amazing voice of fran on >liquid< who turns into a working class siren and manages to rock the boat properly with track 2. keeping with the maritime theme the boys have used a harmonica on >socks and sandals< and a piano on >piano man<. classic format b can be found on >atomizer< and >oversexed< … kicking man high bass beats to thrill the four quarter beat fans, and >biker meth< is going to keep you dancing till noon (at least). even with the pressures of jet setting, label management, party organisation, building a studio, and the romantic needs of their girlfriends they have still managed to finish their first formatik album to their complete satisfaction and are extremely proud to present the first artist album on formatik records. ahoi and enjoy people!

out 26th of sept. mikkel metals new tartelet ep travels deep into the spectral voids of space. empyrean pads and raw drums reverberate in our ear meatus on cassini -soft kicks with shrill claps and a prodding bassline bringing back memories of mikkel metals earlier dubby excursions. phasing, relentless, and a favourite in the early hours of both the night and morning, cassini has everything needed to become a mainstay for all djs brave enough to venture beyond our known realms. mazurski, a galaxy of beaming details and radiant synthlines colour it deep, while the echoes of light gone by envelops the transient listener. following on the same side is the dub version (vinyl only), outlined by a scrapping kick, filtering sequences of sonic waveforms and abraded sub-basslines. all this rough beauty is fully submerged in a crystal pond of levitating strings and sparkling monotones. these cuts will transport you beyond, both in front of properly charged sound systems and laptop-powered earphones. referencing both the recently resurrected new age wave and the analogue power of london, mikkel metal has brought a completely new dimension to the tartelet universe, the quality is undeniable, the construction timeless and the foot-tapping ensured, so get floating.

fade to mind is a both a record label and a movement, a series of club nights and cooperative projects in music, visual art, video and apparel. led by los angeles based kingdom, fade to mind is an injection of the personal back into contemporary club music. sparked by kingdoms longstanding relationships with dallas dj/producer prince william, la-based nguzunguzu and total freedom, as well londons night slugs collective (to which fade to mind will operate as a sister label), fade to mind marks a dramatic genesis of collaboration between the uk and american undergrounds.

torontonian quartet, azari & iii have announced their debut self-titled album on turbo recordings / loose lips records / modular. it follows the release of the single >hungry for the power<, which erupted a storm of awe on the underground music scene, and a collaborative track >stay here< with friendly fires in 2010. the record is set to become the sound of a dystopian summer with their innately brooding beat and sordid-pop edge.
azari & iiis unique blend of moody electronica, dark yet hooky vocal choruses and analog-thick rhythms has earned them a hardcore following and sees this album as one of the most-anticipated in the calendar. the four-piece, consisting of producer/musicians dinamo azari and alixander iii with vocalists fritz helder and starving yet full, have crafted a defining sound that relishes in its references while maintaining a future perspective.
from the velvety refrains of >reckless with your love< through to the creeping melancholy of >manhooker< and the unhinged technopera of >undecided<, their album possesses an individual classic-future feel, with trademark lush synthesizations, biting soulful choruss and ominous overtones.

label boss solomun delivers the soulful summernight jam -see you everyday alone-, that has a captivating bassline and a groove that makes you sweat. epic strings and sounds of thunder and rain are leading into deep breakdowns with a dark touch. although the track has a immediate effect the dancefloor, it will linger on in your head for a long time. stimmings contribution to this ep is -challenge the air- featuring the soft vocal and bass of david stoltzenberg. its a very atmospheric and intimate track. layered guitars and baselines combined with stimmings signature groove account for a warm organic mood. the echoing vocal phrases underline the floating structure which gives a hypnotic touch. although the track features a typical stimming sound and has enough power to entertain the dancefloor, its is definitely one of stimmings more personal and emotive works

rainbow arabia have been one kompakts most endearing acts to work with us in years. the husband and wife duo danny and tiffany preston started our year out with the genre-defying full length >boys and diamonds< which went on to become one our most acclaimed releases of recent time - the los angeles times went so far as to proclaim >rainbow arabia are l.a.s new electro heroes< in a recent feature. in honor of the exhaustive touring throughout the us and europe the band continues to trail blaze, we found the need to put out another limited edition 7 inch for the fans and collectors out there. the title song >boys and diamonds< combines the sway of >80s pop< with the raw power of cumbia and ethno-dance mayhem. tiffanys vocals are hauntingly powerful and a testament to the sheer will and work this band has put in over the past year. hardmix are a favorite of the band and we here at kompakt were honored have him tackle the song. what we received is melodic techno bliss - a shapeshifting extravagance that uniquely keeps the essence of the original but with a solid bass kick to keep the dance floor well on momentum

we are proud to present eveline finks debut ep hula hoop. with hula hoop and loose powder we get to experience two perfectly arranged grooving swinging tracks. you really feel that she has injected her own personal energy and charm into these tracks, they fully deserve their place on enough!. the hula hoop remix by guido schneider maintains all the power and genius of his earlier works and delivers what we expect of him. this ep is one of a kind and a definite must for all music lovers, it is so special in fact that it may warrant its own little space in music land. but i guess you the listener will decide this.

re-issue of the underground resistance the turning point double pack downsized to the favorite 4 tracks. recut and remastered!

presley begann seine karriere 1954 als einer der ersten musiker der rockabilly-bewegung, einer fusion von „weißer“ country-musik und „schwarzem“ rhythm & blues. seinen durchbruch hatte er 1956, als er zur kontrovers diskutierten identifikationsfigur der rock-’n’-roll-bewegung wurde.

everything is in solution. no more here, no more when - the sounds loosing their way while creating something new and mysterious. waterkristallen is a transparent and absolute haunting track from arjuna schiks which will be released on einmusika records at the end of july. its a deep and tech influenced number with dizzying atmospheric parts and a lot of power on the other sight - its a dancefloor-number detached from the seasons. arjuna schiks was inspired by new age, meditation and world music, a hippie-child from amsterdam - that is what you can also hear in his productions one more day and my cup of tea. they are so strong and free - good vibes for your soul and precious diamonds for the clubs. once again einmusik is preparing the stage for a young and great producer and it is not supposed to be a short-time collab.

the guy on the couch is the new project of andy rk and the infamous duo of the analogue cops. >golden lady< is a techno flavored house e.p. that will blast every dancefloor. it has been written, mixed and produced at the restoration headquarters with the use of any computer. the tracks has been premastered by the analogue cops in their raw and compromiseless way.
the short a side is so mighty that it has the power to stop time. the beats are tight and the influence of the artists of the second detroit wave is vivid.>the last word< is an evocative deep house track enriched by numerous samples of old crispy records. smooth and addicting, its a late night tune.>drei hunde< has a funky hypnotic groove that set off a wild pitch hook. just six minutes of danger.

neapolitan techno powerhouse unrilis delivers a brand new ep from gaetano parisio in the form of needing chords. up there with the likes of adam beyer, ben sims and marco carola as one of the premier exponents of european techno, parisios reputation is backed up by an enviable discography and touring schedule. needing chords, backed by a remix from another neapolitan legend in rino cerrone, is a heavy-set, muscular techno-workout which builds with unbridled intensity. cerrones remix is considerably more stripped but loses none of the originals power. moodier and with a sinister edge, its an interpretation which provides an exciting slant on the original. the skippy funk of fake stuff follows and does so with a playful urgency. threaded with a snaking white noise motif that ebbs and flows under staccato keys, its hugely hypnotic while not loosing its groove. finally, its the trippy synths of program meanings that close the ep. heavily layered the track constantly and fluidly shifts with filters revealing new combinations of layers throughout while a funk licked bassline and heavy drums do the rest. hope the usa tour was fun!

having impressed with his stripped back, percussive remix of alan fitzpatricks gridlock track, drumcode are delighted to be giving gary beck his full debut on the label with his askaig ep. askaig illustrates becks understanding of the drumcode aesthetic as he contrasts the brutal force of a slamming kick, huge throbbing bass and crunchy pads with the delicate, ever-so-trippy plucked string hook via an arrangement that enhances and the raw power of the individual elements. on the flip side, mock tease completes the package with an end-of-night bridging track that combines the shimmering euphoric qualities of pulsing harmonics with splashes of sound effects and a marching, percussive rhythm that extenuates the epic feel of the track

the debut album from gardens & villa exudes effortless class, translucent funk, and an undercurrent of the bittersweet. its a youthful exploration of just how opulent starkness can do. includes free digital download

split secs are alexandre mouracade & tk disko direct from los angeles, california. their name came out of discussion amongst friends about how anything can change in a split second and how much power and effect the smallest detail could have in any song. both fun loving long time djs and avid record collectors, they are putting their years of experience to work with numerous forthcoming releases on labels like on the prowl / nyc, smash hit music co., and much more to be announced very soon. their first ep is released on dj kaos imprint jolly jams out of berlin germany.

it took a while but we finally got this great remix ep together from catz n dogz escape from zoo album. tanner ross flexes his e-funk biceps and shows us that just a little bit goes a long way with huge bass and sparse vox. this remix goes against the grain the right way, showing restraint and power at the same time. the main man of detroit, carl craig also delivers a sparse and beautiful mix, 1st giving us a lesson in how to properly tweak the space echo and then bringing it back with classic strings and subs. both mixes are getting major support from all across the globe from sebo k to troy pierce to ewan pearson to martyn to l-vis 1990 to james zabiela - overall probably the best feedback we had in a while on a record to be honest.. all great for our kids at the detroit youth foundation where the mothership label donates 100% of profits! also, special thanks to matt colton at air studios, london for donating a mastering session for free to cut this record and support our school.

next eklektisch anthem. edu imbernon & los suruba pres number 5. punset sees the trio in full-on-goosepimple-enducing mood. each copy of the record should include the instructions - one to be taken, at sunset or sunrise for heightened effect. the boys have encapsulated the finest of balearic moods and brought them to the dancefloor once again. the deep throb of the progressive bassline, whilst allowing the track to breathe, has enough power to drive the track. the fluid sounds in the breaks, together with its simple piano riff and bell chimes, bring us down before the synth melody and weighty bass shoot us to the stratosphere on a wave of smiles... on remix duty is none other than hamburgs finest and diynamic music head honcho, solomun. turning punset on its head, yet maintaining its epic feel, the german produce

deep house remixes by dj duke of power music fame.

banger harder schranz techno

the first world unknown 12 inch kicks off with a slamming piece of prototype house from glasgows naum gabo aka jonnie wilkes from optimo and his production partner james savage. showing that a relatively low pace doesnt mean any drop in energy levels and dancefloor pump power, whop! cracks along like something from an alternate reality version of 1980’s chicago. its as easy to imagine it rocking the house at medusas or the box as it is to envision it in the present day soundtracking some kind of bizarro fetish party or a particularly intense session at berghain’s lab-oratory. this is jacking in the true sense of the word. on the flip side italian born berlin resident franz underwear ups the tempo with a stunning piece of slamming european musclebeat. shades of ibiza 88-89 pervade here, the kind of pumping, chunky synth action, teutonic vocal exhortations and vaguely menacing but ultimately benign vibe that sent thousands of potty european kids totally round the bend and changed the world of dance music forever.

nice price deal !!! nice price deal !!! nice price deal !!! upps he did it again! rock n roll comes back to stock5!! or is it heavy metal? we dont know but its fat and its from ahmet sisman. but instead of bleeding out the same ideas again and again, ahmet presents a totally new side of his soul. his beat gains a lot of power and presence, fewer sounds do more without losing the typical sisman atmospheres! the young artist from essen knows nowadays how to interpret and manipulate tendencies to his very own style! and as usual great work and for sure one of the seasons big surprises

self defence returns in full effect with new yorks one and only dj dukes (of sex trax / power music fame) >summer madness ep<. dj duke had retired from the music front for a while, after he had about 300 records emerged after his >blow your whistle< blew up in 1993 and during the past few years. with releases dating back to 1990, you know the mans got skills aplenty, and they once again get a killer workout on this ep. each of the tracks shows a different side of his music-making and rewards ones time and attention, demonstrating that duke plays in his own league of house music. a bit of curry flavour seeps into >summer blast< by way of a sinuous string melody, adding an exotic tinge to the breeziness that otherwise infuses the cut. a funky, vibes-like motif and analog synth streams bring additional colour to the scene while a crisp, pumping groove locks everything solidly in place

after his last ep on stil vor talent in 2009, born-and-bread berliner sascha braemer is now back with three fresh tracks for the spring of 2011. in the meantime, his funky minimal jump-up tech-house has led him to release on labels as prolific as kindisch or dirtybird. things kick off with >belle<, a ferocious attack on your groove muscles and dancing bones. this tune glides as softly as the wings of an angel while shaking you around like a giant would a dwarf. the up-beat groove is based on a great cut-up vocal sample and some animating synthesizer stabs. sweet! then, >felicitous<, which is considerably slower than the previous two tracks. still, the vocal on this one and the deep electronic body come together perfectly to form a deep and dirty suckerpunch to your euphoria synapses. last up is >people< keeps the effected vocal approach and that really makes this tune. imagine a super deep bassline, some wonderfully syncopated hi-hat trickles and a constant groove to underline the power of the vocal. this track is club pop - so deep and yet so magic it will run shivers down your spine on the breakdown. sascha braemer seems to have put all his experience of peak-time club moments to early morning afterhour visions into his own transcript of signature sound. this is not be mistaken, this is simply on-point

against nuclear power - big meassage (white, 100% cotton)

>i can see< by the oliverwho factory is the second release of german label couldnt care more (following stareaways - learn how to love me) and its just marvellous: the duo from detroit, who by the way runs the stunning label madd chaise inc. and recently released >galactic transit< on rush hour and >night lights< on planet e, delivers finest detroit tech deep house with a twist, that will make you wave your arms and scream on the dancefloor. while the basic track is voluminously wafting and rawly pushing forward vocalist shone tops it with her power- and soulful singing. both tracks are mastered straight to the point by a.o.s.. classic.

a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away .... subsistenz. episode 10: it is a period of civil war. current value drone spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil minimal empire. during the battle, rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the empires ultimate weapon, the gay star, an armoured space station with enough media power to destroy an entire planet. pursued by the empires sinister agents, dean rodell races aboard the starship subdivision, in search of the stolen plans that can save all subheads and restore freedom to the galaxies.

crosstown rebels get set to unleash the power of the model feat. my favourite robot with a vampish feast of 80s proto-house in -still in my heart- followed by a playful epic rework from ivan smagghe and a dose of warped late night techno courtesy of two mesmerising brett johnson remixes. the model makes a storming entrance into the crosstown camp with the original of -still in my heart- spinning a circus of 80s inspired melodies, rave synths, techy bleeps and stabbing bass. my favourite robots soul-penetrating vocals nonchalantly weave a darker thread through the dizzy heights of electro stylings supplying a vein of moody romance

alex cortex >unshell< is the follow up to his acclaimed >i wont conform< (pom22) and the foretaste for his upcoming album which is going to be released on pomelo this coming fall.
>unshell< features 4 modern dancefloor tracks in best cortex style, characterized by tight rhythmic structures and a unique and irrestistible hypnotic power.
from deep stumbling house grooves with piano stabs and a male vocal admiring >your sexy moves< and a chicago jacker with a repetitive voice on the a side, to athmospheric dark techno with warped sound effects and breakbeat house layered with modulating 8-bit sounds on the flip, this record shows once more alex cortex skills to move off the beaten tracks in his very own style.
