donnacha costello returns with another release for his new label and platform, look long. the tragedy of the commons sees him continuing his mission to create work of lasting quality and beauty. gatsby has that most rare and ephemeral quality, that certain something not easily defined. work which is at once both raw and full of subtlety. something which is at once both instantly familiar and yet inescapably new. fathoms deep pulls the listener in with each rotation until we are so thoroughly hypnotised we cannot but surrender to its insistent, organic pulse. baritoneÆs melancholy lo-fi guitars and roland 606 drums wrap around us like a warm blanket on a cold night. a private oasis, a moment of comfort in a lonely city before the body gives in to sleep. this is no throwaway music. this is music to keep, to live with, to grow with. this is music in which comfort can be sought and solace found

michael forzzas is one of the most important techno djs from belgium. like figure head len faki, michael forzzas speciality is to play extended sets which develop an individual athmosphere. figure 015 is forzzas first international release, and forzza sent two unique tracks to berlin, the tenor & the monkey is destined to turn the dancefloor into a frenzy. it puts you in a state of fear and euphoria at the same time. while the tenor & the monkey puts the roof of every club on fire, high on this is more cautious. the powerful groove unfolds its energy in many contexts. the pulse of the track immediate, it feels like the music is talking to each dancer personally. the tenor & the monkey and high on this don t show any effort, yet the tracks rule over the dancefloor: they both manage to focus on the essence of club music, a rarely achieved task these days.

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

the latest release from persistencebit headquarters, comes with a killer single-sided, single-track ep, serving the brilliant donnacha costello remix of >cobra< by rolf and fonky (italian djs and producers mirco uguccioni and maurizio ottavi). and donnacha does it again, what he does best – delivering strong low-riding techno grooves. costello, who is no stranger to the electronic music world, with his sought after releases on mille plateaux, releases on kompakt & his colour series on his own minimise imprint, brings as fine echoing claps over a steam-driven shuffle move, letting the intensity escalates when a house feel seeps into the tracks hammering pulse, after which a gradual wind-down brings the lights down to help ease the hooded snake to sleep on this remix. the track is a pure dance floor sweeper in full effect, cut and mastered for optimal dj friendly use

after the phenomenal success of their 1st release, division recordings has been established as a label providing new innovative sounds with boundless potential in every genre. now noisia are ready to present the next installment of division: seven stitches is a slice of electric heaven, a veritable fighter pilot performing synth acrobatics & bound to hit your g force! an appropriate follow up to the bending craziness of yellow brick, seven stiches was initially commissioned for wipeout pulse (psp). sony loved it so much they decided to also feature it in the wipeout hd (ps3) game too. a tune diverse enough to satisfy on every level, throw it down amongst friends or up on stage but be sure to make it loud!

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

5 years ago back in february 2003 in montmartre (paris, france) pedro winter aka busy p created the ed banger record label. most of the artists have been discovered by pedro, and often live near the labels office. over the past 2 years the rise of the label has been something like a phenomenon, with all artists being on a worldwide tour (dj and/or live) at sold out venues, each appearance always long awaited and celebrated like a the coming of the messiah by thousands of raging kids from each and every part of the world. drawing on the street energy of hip hop, rocks explosion and hypnotic compression of techno music, but remaining open to all other influences, the sound of the label, mostly electronic and saturated, has become a trademark, registered worldwide. justice, busy p, uffie, feadz, mehdi, dsl, oizo, vicarious bliss, mr flash, krazy baldhead, sebastian and so: mes post cartoon imaging are practically pop culture icons, especially within the new web media (myspace, blogs, forums) where ed banger remain one of the unbeatable masters of its use. this third volume of the labels own compilation features 12 new tracks and mixes.

for the third time adam proll has released a 12 for cocoon recordings. and just like in the two predecessors, >hummel< and >adamantido<, the native pole is at the pulse of time and, with >flight 407<, creates a beautiful and dreamy summer tech house track, which seems to be made for the forthcoming open air season. warm, soft beats are as skillfully and elegantly used as trippy half time snares and thus make the a side sparkle of life. in contrast to this, >abbadon< is more something for the neverending after hours of this summer. the warm and deep detroit sound reminds of sunsets at the beach and is bringing back this special feeling to the dance floor - may it be in frankfurt, berlin or everywhere else.

mark e now returns to running back for another ep of original productions. and what a return it is! staying in his lovely kind of irresistible grooves between low slung bass and rattling snares, mark delivers three tracks of pure dance floor bliss. first off, we have slave 1 with its burning slow motion build up and a hookline that will not leave your head for at least a week. the flip of the medal, sees pulse friction giving off a warm synthesizer shower for what seems like an hour. finally, the incredibly bouncy human tightens the thumbscrew and should even make the ruffy and tuffy minded happy. our dear friends dixon from shocking innervisions and gilb r from rocking versatile are already in love with it, so please do not even try to resist. e is for ecstasy!

originally from columbus, ohio and now residing in new york city, myungho choi issues four new tracks on a touch of class. on these four dizzying tracks, choi again powers his stampeding funk grooves, ecstatic voices, and somersaulting rhodes melodies with classic soul bass lines. his stoked mix of soul, jazz, and house proves exhilarating in the steaming strutter lovin you today and high velocity disco anthem shakin bricks. less aerodynamic and earthier by comparison, the low slung party funk groove in how long till dawn would sound perfectly at home in a parliament funkadelic set, especially when voices chant shake and havin fun and horns blaze over a steaming stomp. the closer we aint leaving revisits the benson funk style of moment by moment by looping a guitar vocal fragment over a relentless minimal disco pulse. this ep. is without a doubt a true disco house infection and a definite one for the dance floor, which is not to be missed.

rmxs by paul ritch & guillaume & the couto dumonts >2 fast 4 u< was one of the stand-out tracks from kook kook, a tune positioned somewhere wonderful between techno, house and disco, and of course it appears on this 12” in its original form. but for the lead track, lopazz hands over the reins to paul ritch, whose string of fine releases over the past year or so – for labels like resopal, fumakilla and get physical – have made him one of the scenes most sought-after names. a single-minded 4x4 pulse sets the pace, providing the basis for increasingly intense, tribalesque percussion, and dubbed-out samples of lopazz s original instrumentation. this unbelievably deep, hypnotic remix demonstrates an allegiance to both classic detroit techno and the razor-sharp vanguard of modern day minimal techno. on the flip, lopazz offers >2 4 fast u< to another underground techno visionary for re-interpretation,this time guillaume, also known as guillaume and the coutu dumonts. beautifully produced, exuberant eps for mutek and hartchef discos have seen guillaume become a producer of note to those in the know

brooklyns stefny offers her first solo ep for the addon imprint. a dj for the past decade, stefny has recorded a few co-productions (lucylee/sodium) along side nick chacona and is staple in the nyc underground scene. this ep showcases a unique sound built upon her dj experience and personal sound development. >a fix< is not your typical 4 on the 4 groover. a special kick treatment is exposed before the falling bassline appears. a magnetic pulse hits sharply between the perfectly placed fast edits and zips. the warm and fuzzy >radiolaria< begins the flip side. soft bass tones battle for space in the mix creating a groove that instantly bounces. dubbed out it continues along the path straight to the dancefloor. >wellig< is filled with a sustained anticipation. sharp beats, flanged percussion bits carry before a pulsing bassline and kraftwerk-esq synth stab rise. energy for the late night

played by the dahlbäcks, zoo brazil, c. lekebusch… >couldn t care less<: squelching synths and a ruckus beat that jacks you like a wack on the head pulse through the electryfied bodies until they glide in to an epic, spacious breakdown with sunset synths – and thrown straight back into the twitching beats that complement the fanfares of wild burping basses that push you over the edge. >jattedansen<: if you prefer to happily shuffle on the mad side of things, opt for the chugging, squelching nip-and-tuck of >chunky little thing< that grooves in stop-and-go fashion straight into those hotstepping dancing feet. organ stabs and squeaky, choppy synths make this a mind bending slow burner that grooves without mercy

>einladung ep< features three varied pieces: >get the strings?< builds with loose, stuttering, metallic percussion playing over a locked bass/organ pulse before opening out into a beautifully detailed mix of chords, high strings and clipped vocal parts. >keep it< is a minimal percussion-based track of clicky kick drums and shuffling out-of-time hi-hats. >rhodes island< rides on a warm, repetitive chord sequence that refers back to the classic basic channel / chain reaction template
