nice price deal !!! uk superstars ultrabeat will hit germany with their awesome vocal dance tunes! you just get the best of the best including a brandnew mix of sure feels good by manox, i wanna touch you and pretty green eyes.

as one of the leading voices in japans techno and house scene, this dj, producer and live performer knows what dark textures, dirty bass lines and driving beats are all about. this ep arrives as a bit of a powerful undercover tool style installation, full of simple percussive allotments, syncopated synth bass stabs and plenty of swing. hane starts out as a pretty straightforward loop minded drum workout, but before you know it a delicately plucked synth jam ignites the mix.

the 5 beats parisian head takin us to a fascinating one way trip straight to the epicenter of the lectromatrix on the vibrant synth led the journey opening this 2 tracker with the result guaranteed to blow your minds up. and he seems even goin further on the bouncing hades foreshadowin what might pretty well be considered as a piece of - call it whatever - garagey tech or techy garage...

its ireland hottest techno label again and the goodies they ve got prime to spurt out of the old sac are pretty tumultuous. take this outing from heretics of disko, which is label boss desy palmers floating project which here sees him working with robbie dunne aka spectrum is green on a track which first appeared as part of the hold it down magazine compilation a couple of years ago. the two new mixes come courtesy of finlands lackluster bouncing around like richochet rabbit in a disused robot dump and japans yukio taking more of an electro route with percolating percussion to arrive at some engaging oddball alien funk. a diff kind of brotha is concrete soul collectives kenny black remixed by japans katsuhiko putting the female voice through a blender studded with clicks and efx plus leeds nasty bobby, who stretches the vocals savagely over chattering groove reminiscent of psychotic robo chipmunks confronted with david camerons knackers. maximum quality again.

mysterious new label concentrating on the finest intergalactic techfunk. johannes volk is a pretty new name to many.. however his first record “the mysteries of tharsis montes” was released on jeff mill’s axis a while ago… now he steps into public again with this lifeworld record. volk enters the delicate world of futuristic techno and combines it with earthly acoustic elements. johannes is producing music in the best tradition of jeff mills and robert hood, but he managed to put his own fingerprint on it. a dazzling deep & funking techno release for peak time play.

support by sven väth, laurent garnier ! a futuristic ennio morricone sounding track, which is pretty amazing ! incl saxophon sample !

after releases from heavy hitters such as two armadillos, solomun and andomat3000 the mantle now falls to new boy class71 with his double a-side >seaphone/diamond door<. well, it would do if he was really the new boy, but he s not. in fact, this new artist is an alias of italian producer santos, who has pretty much done it all in house, techno and every other genre we could lazily list. rounding things off with a respectful nod to classic techno via moody stabs, lazy melodies and an airtight arrangement in the form of >diamond door<, it seems like class71 is a bit of a name to watch. don t take our word for it though, ame, sasse, djinxx and agnes are already backing this winner.

classic bit of space vocal disco from the 70s – four long tracks that are all pretty darn moogy, and pretty darn great!

one of the biggest producers in progressive, chab returns to the forefront with a pretty nice release of one of the biggest anthems in 2005 closer to me. the german edition comes along with 2 unbelievable phonjaxx remixes - both have this unique phonjaxx sound which will keep you on the dancefloors! last but not least you also get the muzzaik remix which will hynotize you! go and get this incredible remix package of the best know phonjaxx and muzzaik!

nice price deal !!! medway is one of scenes best know names! his early outings on labels like hooj were the staple of pretty much every djs boxes a few years ago... he has now relocated to holland and here he teams up with sven hauck, who has pushed out some stell works of his own over the last 12 months. deep dirty throbbing house music.. sexy stuff!!!

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

straight from the pink slow studio, david garcet strikes us with 4 new cuts. the a1 is simply said a good floorfiller. expect some straight forward beats and percussion work with that characteristic bleepy synth line being used to full effect. the >monday mix< is yet pretty mellow. the synths have come down a bit and the arpeggios are more upfront for that melancholic vibe.

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.

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

exium are probably the most popular techno act from spain alongside oscar mulero and christian wunsch. the boys are known for a distinct rocking, offbeat infected productions with a silk coating. the boys are pretty busy with their live tour and have finally found some time to perfect some if the tracks they have road-tested many times. this fifth ep sees the guys picking a more layed back style, and it shows pure quality! fans of the sound of dinner, warm-up, tsunami should buy this on sight.

eric prydzs pryda label has again delievered some stunning pieces of work this year that have been caned by pretty much everyone. tracks like rymd, armed, ironman, muranyi and maddeferrys have all been licensed to pretty much every compilation out there and have generated quite a stir. this time around europa gets an airing - this is another walloping production that has been doing the rounds with certain djs since the summer. it is a typically enormous club track with its building synth chords and huge breaks and drops. on the flip odyssey is also a killer with its slightly more subtle funky feel. this is another 2 track monster that will not go away!! dj support - pete tong, sasha, jon digweed, sebastian leger, eric prydz

four big disco edits!! a side feat hi - a prog disco bomb par excellence and black a slightly more wonky track, with its off kilter beats, underwater vocals and strings on top for a very weird outing indeed!! lime on the b side is an edit of yellos oh yeah! cow is a pretty awesome squelchy little disco number with a top vocoder on top

a classic bit of space disco from the french scene of the 70s. four long tracks that are all pretty darn moogy, and pretty darn great! the work here would fit nicely with some of the best keyboard heavy club of the us scene at the time! not exactly like some of the work on p&p, or the grooves of el coco over at avi - but not that dissimilar either, and often put together with a spare, simple approach thats a welcome contrast from overblown disco of the time! most numbers build up from a funky bassline and beats - adding in the keyboards with great relish, and really letting them jam and get crazy over the top. theres certainly a bit of cosmic fusion going on here too

yam who brings two new productions to super promising new uk label electric minds in his typically polished style. the aside wanna make luv is a pretty message direct from the off. a relentless fusion off synths stabs & vocoder action whilst the 80s electro phunk groove is totally banging & insistent, i think the bottom line is they re saying they want to do it but in a futuristic retro stlyee! the b side buzz reaction is one for all those crazy mid tempo hedonist playboy warehouse parties. perfect to be dropped in your disco ballrooms, full off twisted flute solos, italo vocal chants, afro percussion and one hell of a heavy bottom end. a leftfield balearic bomb is very soon about to drop somewhere in londons eastside!

>get on up there< ist einer von diesen tracks, die lange laufen müssen, um den vollen wahnsinn zu entfalten. >pretty face< daegegen trifft mit seiner feinen melange aus carlcraigiger deepness, sanfter verpeiltheit und popsensibilität den nagel auf den kopf

dope new highly limited vinyl 7inch of rain forest featuring exclusive mixes of this beautiful psychedelic house tour de force. experimenting with the uncomfortable mixture of dance friendly production and the sternly serious project of psychedelic adventurism!! these mixes are undoubtedly in a more exploratory tone. luscious chords set the framework for this piano led masterpiece, all the while drifting along on perfectly placed synth arrangements. rain forest might appear pretty at first, a closer listen will yield more confusing emotional reaction as the record at once soothes and disorients. of course, anyone experienced in introspective exploration and healing should know nourishment and pain are not mutually exclusive

andrew mc lauchlan meets adam beyer >love story< meets >remanipulated< !! one could say p series stands for >pretty daring remakes of superb killer tunes< the label has quite a history of reconstructing those essential classic, giving m a futuristic upgrade so these can once more stir the dancefloor and create positive confusion on many occasions!

this righteous mid 70s funk-rock anthem from the isleys gets treated by timmy regisford in a style that is pretty close to the stomping original version. on the flip the explosive >better love< from the same isleys album gets re-twisted

both tracks sitting firmly in the techy house bracket that works so well for peak time, early on & those 4am moments... in other words a perfect 12inch for pretty much any occasion like the little black dress of the music world!!!

original underground resistance member robert hood is a true icon in techno music, with releases on legendary imprints such as tresor, axis, peacefrog, logistic and his own label m-plant. one could even call him the godfather of minimal techno. hoodmusic 3 is the follow up to his 2005 and 2006 releases on music man. theres a little bit for everyone on there and we are pretty sure youre going to like these tracks as much as we do!!

pretty & versatile album by the t bros

2007 has been a promising year for dj mika. following his productions on mastertraxx and submissions he signs two eps on the ignition technician label pirate audio and the legendary planet rhythm! pedro delgardo has shown to have a nose for digging up those special gems with his previous yin yang cuts. he was pretty impressed when a new set of tracks by mister mika hit his desk, so here we have a brandnu masterpiece in true yin yang style! stephane from belgium rubs up verona, making the 19 a proper rocker for peak time action!

played by ricardo villalobos !! here comes popof, aged 28, an electronical arranger and composer from france, with his first release for afu limited. this 12inch will definitely do it s damage and rock the floors big time! the title track alcoolic is just waiting in the row to be the next big funky-minimal styled monster. the track hypnotical has all the qualities for the crowdpleaser and hologram is the electrohouse rumbler to round it up! he fits perfectly into the line of rockin afultd. releases and will be found in the playlists of the big ones pretty soon!

remixes by joey beltram & paco osuna supported by: richie hawtin, loco dice, dubfire and pretty much all major players! enough said!

yelle, the explosive rappin french girl, is covering an 80s electro-pop hit. when its mastered by her friend tepr, our friends punks jump up and riot in belgium : its a hit in the two hemispheres. parlez vous français ? yelle is young and pretty. also a very explosive character entering the more rigid french pop scene. this stage freak with a unique flow is fully driving the new non-aggressive girl power scene, focusing on delivering kick-ass lyrics. she also doesnt take herself seriously and is refreshingly laidback, especially when she proudly covers the song >a cause des garcons< (>what we do for boys<) a french 80s anthem, so thrilling and amusing, that it looks like a sure hit for the charts this summer. tepr has just released a single on wall of sound and hes back with his thrilling remix.

jason little continues his quest and drops the sequel in a series of very string hard techno collaborations. he ignites his already pretty popular label with a solid outburst of roughness featuring the one and only dj rush. now its time for his friend felix krocher to pitch in his analogue anger! jasons mask is about to be big and you know it

new bell is a stone cold classic piece of afrobeat that only appeared on 12 inch on an extremely rare dutch pressing and is a big play for everyone from masters at work (who made a pretty nice remix a while back) to gilles peterson. quite simply if you have any interest at all in african dance music you need this record. the flipside cut yoyo was only on a very rare french 7inch to our knowledge, this lesser known piece of afro disco really does get the party shaking its collective rump and sounds super fat on 12 inch for the first time

next hot compilation on the uk label with high-class tracks in different genres by the remote, gus gus, mike perras, alex dolby, jody wisternoff and many more

this is a fresh & rockin kompass musik release, presenting music from the hamburg-city boy denis karimani aka remute! after lonely and quiet years of experimenting and self-discovery he released his first 12inch called >hypnoconsole< on zombie nations label dekathlon records and got remixed by munich-techno-hero richard bartz.the first livegigs followed directly and led him into smoky rave-basements, uproarious clubs, sunny open-airs, as well as shaky party-boats...due to excessive and unresting music-making, denis released lots of 12 s and made several remixes in the following years. he released records on fine labels like traum/trapez/mbf, areal , dial, num, smallville or liebe*detail, made remixes for artists like dominik eulberg, move d or station17 and released his first album >remute< on ladomat. his regular appearance in magazine polls for best live act of the year proves that this is not just theory. now, we proudly welcome this jack-of-all-trades to our yet small but nice label family at kompass musik. he contributes a bodacious three tracker, jam-packed with dirty and pushing club tracks. >slam with the face< on the a-side brings us into some rough, gruffy and exciting soundscapes, the b-side holds two more fantastic proves of remutes far-reaching talent. >cause he likes it<, a pretty deep piece of techno and >propellersweat<, a reduced but heavily effective monster track in the end rave on.!

kenny dope gonzales and lil louie vega made their production debut on the new york label way back when, so there can be no one more fitting to compile the first new album release on the imprint. in case you didnt know, strictly rhythm were one of the most important house labels of the 1990s. established by entrepreneur mark finkelstein and serious club babe gladys pizzarro, the label would launch the careers of, among others, roger sanchez, erick morillo and, as we ve seen, masters at work. pretty significant, then! strictly maw is an album no true househead will want to miss

played by deep dish, milk & sugar, eric decks… his first own single is about to be released on milk & sugar recordings. saxophobic satisfaction is a catchy sax-track with unmistakable balearic flair that will fit perfectly to the pending summer. flavoured with the sexy vocals of halfindian kyra this strong remix package including mixes by christian hornbostel (soulfuric, us), stereo mutants (defected, uk) and doc phatt (houseworks, ch) seems pretty much promising. >satisfaction< guaranteed!
