in the year of punk 1977, the jams exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. the raw, unfettered aggression of the bands approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the mod movement of the mid 60s. singer/guitarist paul weller comes off like a cross between joe strummer and the young pete townshend, bashing unreservedly through slow down, one of the r&b tunes that inspired the original mods. weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture over the raging three chord attack of bassist bruce foxton and drummer rick buckler. the pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky arrangements, which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.

what better way to kick off this new year with an outstanding ep from our latest signing hailing from japan. ryoh mitomi is becoming a producer to watch in 2008 through his recent releases on belgiums infamous r&s records, technasias minimaxima and canadas restructured recordings. ryohs debut immigrant ep showcases ryohs versatile production style of pure techno to house.

when i first started making the drum on my mpc it sounded like a battle of drums i then added some stabs from the machines, trying to make it sound like the oldschool chicago tracks. this track is all about editing, drum programming and of course the inimitable tap repeat touch that only the mpc can generate. the end result is ninted house, a pure floor killer for all you real house heads. the clash is not a reference to the band but i felt the track goes well with ninted house it has the same mpc groove. stabs and hip hop sampled voices that remind us of those kind of tracks, where editing and sound mixing are more important than the musical elements. its that breadth in house music that i love. enjoy those two floor killers and dance ur ass off! franck roger

following the big success of their debut release >metro gold< berlin based resident dj of bar 25 red robin and format b member jakob hilden have come up with a very hitty and unorthodox big production as a follow up. the two club tracks of the upcoming >tales ep< are straightforward and reduced to the essentials. made out of pure power. >lazy jack< the a-side is another monster of a track. it holds the dark berlin side of techno, with its droning noises and delays. it reminds us a bit of chicago techno house at its best, but this is just one facetted of the track. it gets its other enthusiastic crazy over the top and emotional side from the whistle melody which sets in half way through the track. this leading sequenced is such a catchy tune that its sure to be heard in all mayor berlin clubs and eventually all around the globe. the b-side track >tin soldier< is a marching techno tune, with a cool slight swing programming in the rhythm and drugged out chords. creating a ghost town atmosphere, transforming the club into another >futureworld<
