>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn�t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke�s 2nd album, �bird brain.� if you haven�t heard of bootsy we couldn�t write it better than rolling stone� �bootsy collins� rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton�s eternal p-funk circus, and that�s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk � if he weren�t such a genius of the bass, you�d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb�s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.� it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that�s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there�s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

picco returns to the electro and house scene with his latest smasher walk on by, the follow up to his impressive yeke yeke recreation of 2008. and what a great single it is: featuring the wellknown african chorus that made dario g.s sunchyme a worldwide mega-hit, picco takes the theme to a whole new level by adding incredible vocals by alexandra prince and combining it with the latest banging house- and electro-sounds. already a super-hit and in the cases of all respectable commercial house jocks

funky 2001 electrotechhouse by stella with remixes from sasha funke, suguru kusumi, elmar schubert and hendrik weber aka pantha du prince.

this summer beni will continue to reign the dancefloor supreme with a new monster slab of black plastic, maximus featuring vocals from the mighty sam sparro. who put the fun in acid-funk you ask? the answer is: beni did. a low-slung exercise in dark and dirty arpeggiated sleaze, maximus marries a sparse bubble-groove that creeps up behind you and licks your ear with a very purple vocal performance by sparro to devastating effect. the resulting track is something akin to kiss-era prince and friends dirty dancing at a toga party while ancient rome burns down around them. on the flipside beni and nicky night time give maximus a night-time re-dub rubdown, taking the track away from the creepy funk freak and towards a straighter slammer jammer, favouring blatant dancefloor manipulation over the subtle and the sexy. also featured (and included on the next kitsune maison 7 installment) is fringe element, which encapsulates the feeling of surfing on a shooting star like never before, with beni sitting proudly at the controls. an electronic orchestra of descending basslines, vocoder snippets, bleeps and acid squeaks, fringe element caps off another compelling chapter in benis lifelong voyage through dance. after the cover of his first ep my love sees you made by geneviÞve gauckler, his new 12 is illustrated by french artist andre.

fresh from the success of his new album, ninja tuna, mr scruff dips his line back in the sea with the funktabulous get on down. taking a little chunk of 70s soul goodness (a prince phillip mitchell song, sung by johnny adams) and turning it into scruffy sashimi, this is undoubtedly one of the dancefloor stand outs of an album guaranteed to get any crowd bumping. hold on, on the other hand, features the smooooth vox of andreya triana, but nothing can stop scruff from dropping lashings of bass squelch - plus a little extra bangingness on the alternate version hold the dub. altogether uplifting, chest vibrating and all round marvellous, this is brit soul the way it should be done.

sexplosion, the new ep from lenfant terrible of sophisticated techno, seth troxler-here recording under his debauched alter ego sex trothler-is a complex, multifaceted, and yet decidedly horny affair. these are the sounds of doing unspeakable and anonymous things to girls in dark backrooms and being too confident to regret it the next day�the sounds of your favorite sexual memory transformed by your overactive fantasy life into scenes of utter perversion. the first track, jusyour, combines troxlers signature use of the classic, organic sounds of detroit house and techno with an avant-garde, fragmented, almost mournful sensibility. its a contemporary jack track as appropriate for a dark, seedy club as it is for an afterparty orgy on your friends broken futon. its almost as if music could yearn and sweat and think all at once. its followed by a brief vocal internude to remind you that being a good lover always means having enough of a sense of humor to laugh at other people laughing at yourself. think tinkertoys meets the wu-tang clans black shampoo. humor aside, the final track, face, utilizes airy percussion and deep, almost cinematic chords (reminiscent of troxlers remix for another precious youth, nicolaas jar on new yorks wolf+lamb label). its masterful and restrained use of processed vocals manages to leave behind so much of the pointless darkness that has plagued techno, whether minimal or otherwise. it builds slowly yet aggressively, like a hard, focused grind with someone you cant actually even really stand. this is music for people whose time at art school was spent getting naked and not hating themselves for it.

thank you arthur is an amazing reworking of arthur russells classic dinosaur l track go bang re edited it into a dancefloor bomb thats radically different from the original complete with an insane guitar breakdown lollipop is an incredible edit from atlanta house legend kai alce best known for his tracks on moodymanns mahogani label and larry heards trackmode imprint

>beaten< is the first track to be released from random factor�s new album and comes with excellent art of tones remixes.carl a finlow again shows his history and pedigree as well as his refusal to jump on bandwagons and trends by producing timeless electronic music inspired more by kraftwerk, yello, stockhausen, tomita, prince, sakamoto, brian eno and the white noise than by what�s playing this summer at dc10. ralph lawson used >beaten< as the last track on his recent 2020vision compilation. this jerky sporadic groove gives a nod to the forefathers while holding down a beat anyone would be proud of. the single comes complete with remixes from art of tones, fresh after last year�s huge >praise<. this mystery outfit has now signed to 2020vision and this is the first of many bombs from them. art of tones take the track directly to the dancefloor and produce two versions that would slay berlin�s panorama bar at 9 on a sunday morning.

jubiläumsfest mit sten, pantha du prince, phantom ghost, pigon, rndm, jost & klemann

loved by alex from tokyo, alex attias, ame, dixon, marcus worgull, peter kruder, roland appel, tony lionni and many more.. fabrice lig, the prince of everything electronic, is back after his very acclaimed x-slaves. he delivers the goods once again, starting off here with chapter one in a purple raw trilogy. first up is the track, based around a jerky syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick, which remains light all the way. as usual, lig�s arrangements evolve progressively before they wipe us away with their screeching pads and synthetic melodies. a great mixture of minimal techno and detroit nostalgia. no doubt, the more efficient track produced by fabrice lig and hammered by dixon, ame, alex attias, quarion� much more aggressive, bump bump is built around fat analogue sounds, or acid noises if you prefer which seem to emulate screaming animals. one is easily carried away by an animalistic groove that keeps on building from the beginning till the end. it all ends with the very funky the riff pourpre, a perfect crossover between metro area and parliament. the retro sounds sit nicely on a big fat beat, the kind which lig excels in.

you might recognise the vocals of jill jones of hit records like the bangles - manic monday and mia bocca, a track she wrote with prince aka tafkap!

hes re licked soul of man, re mixed queen and re touched prince to name but a few, so what could the boy wonder a.skillz possibly put his hand to next i hear you ask? yes you guessed it, its none other than the original kings of pop the beatles!! strawberry jam forever is a catchy party starter like no other and has gained plays from pete tong, annie mac and sir krafty of kuts for that very reason. and if the kings werent enough hes only gone and remixed a reverend as well. soul legend al green gets the once over on with you, whilst collapsed lung booty eat my shorts completes a rather formidable package!

the brighton based trio fujiya & miyagi are set to release uh, the first new material from the hotly tipped act since this years sleeper hit album transparent things. built on a solid funk backing and provocative, breathy vocals, uh is a song about space and time, the alphabet and girls, that comes across like prince gone kraftwerk. on the b side, one trick pony ups the tempo with a jogging beat and hushed vocals. needless to say, its another fine offering from the band thats currently conquering the world with their danceable, groove oriented pop

belgiums very own guiseppe manuele signs the radius 015 with 4 brilliantly crafted disco tracks with enough 80s funkiness to make you shake your booty and lose yourself in vintage synth madness

lead track, keep control, is a prime slice of club house. this is the kind of tune you can be sure is going to rock any dancefloor, and even raise the mood to another level. solomun s sparse production means the track retains an old school vibe while still sounding contemporary. there are enough breaks to give the crowd a chance to make themselves heard too. another quality of this track is the fact that it fits into almost any kind of house/techno set

this is the first release by jesse rose and jamie anderson on gigolo records. and what better way to debut on gigolo with a new track based on 4 times grammy nominee steve >silk< hurleys classic hit jack your body ? 20 years af ter the number originally scored us and uk #1s rose and anderson pay respect to silk who f ollowing this hit went on to work with big names such as michael jackson, prince, mary j blige, madonna. body jackin will also be available on the forthcoming gigolo compilation cd ten as selected by dj hell due out in spring. but this is the 1st chance to grab this pumping track on vinyl

on the genre smashing what she wants, metrics productions have become more assured, as have the range of influences he brings into his music. inspired by everything from jacques le cont and daft punk to his obsession with bad 80s records and krautrock rhythms, metric chops up the beats n vocals here like if he were prince signed to ed banger. slamming tracks like oh percolate with ironic electro pop synths and brash hip hop attitude, while breakin hearts seduces with chunky guitar glitch given the trademark metric acid wash. the e.p.s cheeky power culminates in the title track, what she wants, a squelching dancefloor stormer whose chunky hooks bring rude rock intensity to electronic club thump

gay marvine is ready to party again, this time like its 1979. prince - party up, herb alpert - rise above, michael jackson - dont stop til you get enough, jacksons - things i do for you are all refashioned for your dancing pleasure
