the inaugural release on 7777 instantly recalls the sound of the legendary gherkin and target imprints from chicago. but rather than spawn direct imitation, a flare of detroit is gently added to the equation. an expansive remix is added on the b-side by the acid powerhouse production duo tnt (tadd mullinix and todd osborn), whose releases on their eponymous imprint have been highly sought after. a brutal working of the a-sides >drug related stories<, this epic has already been well received by the patrons of late night/early morning clubs in detroit.

merry, amusing nonsense - some of the attributes used to describe the last kritik records. these terms are unlikely to be appropriate here: the young sebastian simmert from the outskirts of berlin has submitted his first own production. noticable are the influences of techno producers from recent years and the work of this 22 year old demonstrates he knows the whos who. is this an up and comer? the first track is in the tradition of pumping bodzin/romboy works, the second references 2step, including the bad little ravemonster. finally, a hymne for the early morning hours, for the more contemplative dancefloor - enjoy while sipping bionade. beyond minimalism

after a fairly long break with mousevillethe production genius that is eric prydz returns under his cirez d moniker to deliver this heartstopping new weapon on his mouseville imprint. he felt it was important after the many copycat versions of his tracks to deliver something for mouseville that was not only devastating but also fresh and boy we were not disappointed!! these 2 tracks will be 2 of the biggest this year with the a side track horizons combining sublime melodies and vocoded parts with slamming drums and eric s charactaristic killer bass.the flip side is a filthy affair with huge dirty bass and killer drums which will be played as a peak time weapon by djs across many genres

these swedish producers never cease to amaze with their disco-fantastical production skills. this new tune is no exception. song fot edit is a lovely club journey instrumental with drawn-out strings, plucks, and jabs. almost moroder-esque, itll be quite difficult to decide which of the two mixes, original or club, to play. well then you may just have to play both.

on this occasion, the gentleman of the arpeggios and wonderful melodies, ilya santana, bring us a relaxed track inspired by the progressive rock of the 70s and more space than ever with a great load of feelings and emotion. includes trademark pete herbert (eskimo recordings) remix with amazing percussions and funky bassline that kicks your stomach so that you cant let dance. excellent production. file next to steve kotey, lsb, fabricio marmarella, lindstrom & prins thomas, todd terje, nick chacona, idjut boys

>baby show up< shows olivers strength in crafting a vivacious floor-rocking beat, with a deeply cavernous kick and sharp stabs forming the groove before simply gripping synth melody gives the track a sparsely wistful atmosphere. as the bass bounces the track along, a precisely executed break leaves no doubt as to the peak-time quality inherent in this production. >baby show up – elegant universe remix< demonstrates the appropriate name of these young remixers, with a track that falls nothing short of a nearmasterpiece. textured melodic soundscapes float gently over an entrancing and slowly lumbering bass-kick combo, purveying a level of passion rarely found in such a graceful piece

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
