when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

excellent selection with massive techhouse breaks and minimal tech !!!

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!

acos coolkas are konstantin atomas and vasiliy basalaev from omsk, russia. omsk by the way is the largest city of southern siberia situated at the crossing of transsiberian magistral and the irtysh river - 2500 kilometers from moscow to the east. its pretty hard to imagine where it is unless you are a geography expert. however - there are people that produce electronic music like this living there.acos coolkas are mainly known in russia for their domestic works and releases and >skyline< is one of their first releases abroad and first (but definitely not the last) appearance on theomatic. their atmospheric, freshness-breathing house seasoned original version supported by andrei zakharov aka an-2 with his more-serious-attitude-to-the-things stratospheric disco story on b-side

silver was born from a collaboration between benjamin diamond and fabien francois aka curtis and they deliver a soulful track with a pretty slow tempo and benjamins voice which contrast perfectly with the low and hypnotic bass drove by a motorway beat.. incl remix by oarisian producer pilooky

incl honesty remix

tomas andersson stays a quirky genius. in his two new tracks he turns the controller up and down and on and off. it squawks and shrills and buzzes all over the place - a playful laptoprocker who likes to mess around with sounds. >dubbel problematik< starts off in a pretty minimal way. but then voice samples get thrown into the digital mincer and it s a typical andersson track once more

""highgrade is back with another smash by our heroes phage & daniel dreier, a crew having an enormous flow at the moment, be it on the wheels of steel, as an explosive live act or on vinyl.they submitted us three more minimal trax out of their dark chambers, dry as hell, hypnotic and psychedelic, but with such an outburst of creativity and flexibility you just can`t categorize these trax. we are pretty sure this trax will validate some floors on their stableness; file under hypnphouse and keep the damn frequency high!.""

ghetto chicago tech with dj godfather

the latest name to check from french label ed banger records is the crunk and grime-loving chanteuse uffie. born in miami and raised in hong kong, the 18-year-old mini-popster now calls paris her home. a self-professed ever-ready >hot chick<, uffie reckons her approach to music is pretty radical. her tracks, often performed in a wannabe english accent, have a deliberately staid anti-flow delivery that walks a fine line between electro and nu-skool rap... produced by mr oizo (f-com) & feadz (bpitch control). big tune !!

moxie returns to where they started (and pretty much stayed) rough 80s electronic music. this time - two edits from worlds apart.. the a-side features an edit of a late 80s ny classic while the b-side is a re-edit of a electrofied brazilian song.. they must have listened to the sugarhill gang before producing this tune.. now whos chow daddy

the polish man adam kroll aka adam proll presents two extraordinary productions which draw a bow from house to pretty weired techno. the a side comes along very elegant with a light but effective shuffle programming. flipside starts like a fuzzy electrotrack with a dark bass sound and a mighty 909 kick soon turns into a true techno monster with freaky breaks and insane synth sounds !!! an absolute highlight for fans of zombie nation and daniel dbx bell....

paradise unleash a pretty big house anthem here with the rub by kurd maverick. the rub was quite a big track in miami this year, with the likes of danny howells, pete tong and deep dish all giving it a good hammering at the conference.kurd delivers a pretty good release here

massive new 12inch from zedd, already plays from pete tong and gilles peterson, and was described by gilles peterson as mizzel brothers go to chicago - which pretty much sums it up, 12inch includes joey negro s medusa and rodox mixes, plus reprise, accapella, and songapella

here comes the little brother of the recently kick-started luxaflex label. the original was released as a b-side to kelis superb hit track millionaire. for this limited white vinyl edition offshoot >in public< was properbly rebuild. where the original was pretty sweet, this rework add some soice to it. the sexy vocals of new york rnb singer kelis smoothy ride along a throobing minimalistic groove with a rough bassline..

the first single from their new album (described by radio 1s annie mac as absolutely stunning). mellow slightly quirky downtempo cut with a pretty female vocal. the 7 feats a remix from illicits deadly avenger

incl michaels legedary beat it from 1982 produced by quincy joens ! on the flip pyt !

rework represents stuttgart to the fullest with this stoicly grooving, reduced funk monster that couldnt be more intense. if you are weak-hearted better stay of the floor when philpot mastermind soulphiction is loosing control chicago style with the boiling >scattered brain<.. the new act neustadt 36 by two boys from up north -zoran zupanic and torsten adam hailing from hamburg - slow it down and inject moody chords, noisy background and abstract disco cut-ups to build up high-tension challenging every suspense flick..

mood ii swing displaying thier talents here with three mixes of this soulful vocal number on defected offshoot soul heaven 2 of these mixes are on the deep ny garage mode and the dub is a full on tough club pounder original mix is pretty cool too and combines a smooth vocal with a big low slung bottom end and some deep chord patterns

louis benedetti serves up his usual soulful reinterpretation, with the original vocal from intense kept intact, while louis benedetti lays down a pretty funky late night groove, with a killer bassline pitting wits with some superb percussion and a subtle piano line 3 mixes to choose from here, all of which are variations on a stellar deep house theme

catch me is a cover of the 80s hit catch me im falling by pretty poison. suffocation is a deep, dark and moody track that has been devastating floors from new york to miami.

well genetix is none other then canadian house music legend gene king. from the early days of house gene has been one of the few consistent things in canadian house music. from owning his own label in the early 90s contraband records to holding some pretty big residences in montréal and toronto to now releasing on ultrasound.
