andreas schulz, (which is andycaps given name), has never been afraid to try new paths, which is highly noticeable in his music. with passionate love for electronic music, he creates an exciting and creative mix of everything from house to techno, and he has released multiple remixes featuring different styles and artists such as steve angello, boeoes kaelstigen, turboweekend, new moscow and others. in 2009, andreas moved to stockholm, sweden, in a quest to focus entirely on his music. this relocation has so far generated a resident dj position at lilla hotellbaren in the form of a weekly house club, called musikbiblioteket (the music library), and a part in the creation of a new music project called caviar. in his latest release for onepush recordings he is moving from electronica to deep house with an ease that you find only in studio veterans >natura< is an electronica masterpiece flirting with deep and progressive grooves with much style and authority.. a must have for all those who want to put some emotion and some colour to their summer sets. complimented with a massive remix from italian house masterminds alexander fog and alberto drago for the vinyl version of this ep. >happy tears< takes you to a journey into the deep with melodies that stick and moving beach house grooves. >agua< takes the rhythm up a notch in a bleepy, techie and appealing way. as does >voyage< taking a more progressive approach by building up on a massive groove and letting the driving baseline, the synth bass and the synthesised pads take care of the rest. a complete pack from an artist you should keep an eye on…

boundaryless ep fromnew producer, tessela, the first vinyl release for the west country (uk) producer. making some noise in the virtual world, this foray into vinyl is a mix of styles with the heavy emphasis on bass made all the more interesting by the pitched down vocals and synths. ravey but dubby, dark but fun, 3 tracks in all give a proper introduction to his developing sound.

benoit & sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. in the washington dc duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for dfa (the acclaimed boy trouble ep) and visionquest (the lovelorn where the freaks have no name ep), dc duo benoit & sergio return to spectral sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. and >let me count the ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that ive loved.< as the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey. the b-sides >let me count the ways (autumn version)<is a vastly different take on the original?s maximalist swell. stripping the beat back to its bare essentials and building them up again over nearly 12 minutes, the >autumn version< recalls arthur russell?s more minimal moments down to its wobbly bass filigree and mumbled vocal samples. by the end of the track, the claps are falling on the twos and fours like crinkly foliage, synths are sizzling like firewood, and benoit & sergio?s newest banger is revealed in its full glory once again.

italian techno heavyweights markantonio and rino cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is junction hands. revolution is back is the first full release under the junction hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent the napoli connection ep on adam beyers drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet. the title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but its the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive. the equally hypnotic and driving thing for hands follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of noise while the groove relentlessly works its magic. with junction hands theres yet another must-check name coming out of the neapolitan scene.

an ep charged of groove including the melodys that we have all in our memories.by raul mezcolanza and killians

this album builds more than just one bridge between the best worlds of frivolousness and dependability – horizontally, vertically, all the directions in between, and in time. no matter what the current when you cross, the beginning and the end dissolve into an everlasting flow in true 25 character. the journey is fueled by its own limitlessness, all the while delivering crucial reference points for a purposeful riptide ride.
the experienced hedonist lets herself be driven through her beloved quarter-note spheres, relishing the moments when, in certain beats, twinkling details lead her towards a different route – one familiar but long forgotten. she strings this pearl on her chain of rhythm-driven moods, calling upon it at the right times to amplify her individual push. the allure of the impacts unfolding redeems each secret whispered by the spirit of the sound.

maetriks cocoon debut >snorkel< on the 7th edition of the 10 inch series belongs without doubt to the most successful tracks of the past year and is an essential track in the clubs since then, thanks to its matchless mixture of powerful deep house and noise. eric estornel aka maetrik is, however, definitely not a newcomer. with a large number of releases on such prestigious labels from the likes of treibstoff from cologne, dumb unit and steve bugs audiomatique platform, the texan-born and now resident of valencia has proven to be one of the most reliable protagonists at the interface between straight dark house, dub and funky techno. estornels aim was to stick to this recipe when he made his his first cocoon solo maxi: >crush on me< and >push< are two absolute masterpieces and are representative for estornels unique style, using hallucinogenic vocals, hypnotic beats and a power that is deep and latently noisy at the same time to put the dancefloor over the edge of insanity. with his third album >life index<, released on the london-based label crosstown rebels, and with other releases on guy gerbers supplement facts platform and on get physical, this spring seems to be totally under estornels sign

after several releases on mathematics as contra communem opinionem, cco presents his latest release on the promising new label lux rec. with his impressive ep the secret life of a transistor bassline cco proves us once again his ability to space out and rock hard at the same time. what more do you need? this journey starts off in the sewers of a miserable city on the western hemisphere and takes us higher until we freely float in space. as we move at the speed of light but with no perception of time, we eventually land on planet venus. this is where jack inserts his pleasure plug into the acid machine and sets off a dirty romp. in our quest for the secrets of life, we thereafter push boundaries further and explore even far away galaxies. always bearing in mind the infinity of time and space.

ltd 2010 repress !!! the second new jisco after a two year hiatus is the split between the revenge and 6th burough project. on the a-side >cadillac< is a stellar re-edit of hot chocolates >heaven is in the back seat of my cadillac< done in the usual jisco-slo-mo style. on the flip 6th burough project push things up a notch tempo-wise with a super-funky workout that just keeps building ending up in theo/moodymann territory. excellent stuff

after the more then excellent label debut fit 001 (pittmann) we have the follow up for you by jamal moss (iamthatiam, aka hieroglyphic being aka the sun god aka jack-fm.) as iamthatiam, moss builds upon the sounds of his citys rich musical legacy and directs it into an area that is his most definitely his own. his sound is expressive, experimental, emotional and powerful. within this ep there are three deep, dark and dirty tracks that blend the boundaries between techno, house, industrial and ambient electronic music. fit sound is a label that strives to push the experimental nature of dance music, and that is exactly what moss has done right here.

remastered re-issue on heavy 180 gram vinyl of this 1985 breakthrough-album by the cure..

a welcome return for jaime read who has been releasing quality deep house and techno since the mid 90s via his own push ii shove label, tenth planet, fragmented and ugly music. here he drops a timeless ep of house and techno rythims to great effect. messages from outer space is a deep slice of timeless 808 driven electro soul. name no names moves along with spaced out keys and a sax line reverbed to great effect. no relief has that old school chicago house sound with piano stabs and a lush string breakdown. digital acid wraps it up sounding much like the title suggests with deep 808 bass and floor smashing snares

in the last 12 months thomas golds profile has soared skywards, his remix credits reads like a who is who of the global dance scene, erick morillo, robbie rivera, paul van dyk, roger sanchez, alex gaudino have all had a bit of gold sprinkled on them. not forgetting his award nomination for his mix of delirium >silence< and his recent mixes of pete

rhythmical, distinguished and brazen. thats how the young label push up muzik defines its music, and now presents >artist shit<, a new musical fragrance whose deep base and elegant melodies bring us the freshness and strength from the best tech house. it all will delight the most exclusive tastes. the original song, composed by roll-off (paco heredia and xavi fayos) is the first launch of this label, that includes as well remixes with deep, minimal and techno shades by xavi fayos aka ivax soyaf together with carlos valdes and the producer pablo bolivar, it all mastered by tony blunt.

all the tracks on this double vinyl demonstrate his innovative approach to music, running the full spectrum from soft ambient interludes to the more uptempo beat trickery. accept manages to combine both extremes and is an apt opening track, demonstrating the two faced nature of aardvarcks productions, highly constructed beats and beautiful melodies. taa baa sounds like it emerged straight out of londons co op, though aardvarck has not been to this broken beat mecca. th #1 is pure ambient bliss and followed by the deep spacious beats of dim. steps is based around a seriously crunched up hip- hop break, think domu scrapping with the funkstorung boys. the original version of zom is track 7 (ignore the tracklisting on the cd) whilst the stunning remix by attica blues tony nwachukwu is actually track no. 17. upset is based around deep raw bass, the structure of the track is created with pin point beat work. flight simulator is a silky smooth journey, proving that aardvarcks beats dont have to be broken. the stuttered synchopated bass stabs of th#3 combined with its fearsome breaks push the edge of the nu jazz envelope and gentle is an uptempo number combining the skip of 2 step with smooth german jazz styles - one for the quirky jerky types on the dancefloor. th#6 is another deep ambient soundscape helping to ease the pressure after the frantic percussion of knet. stampot shows aardvarcks ability to counter fearsome rhythms with melancholy chords, the forward flowing synths float the listener over the near chaotic drum programming. finally, the album closes with the weeping strings and treated piano of anders, bizarrely twisted and warped sonics. one beautiful voyage!

nice price deal !!! 1975 is a slow build 2step workout with skittery beats and thumping sub that delivers in all the right places. think el b meets aphex twin under a tropical sky. ai nadia is a throbbing afro step monster. shuddering sub bass and chanted vocals collide to create something very special indeed.

ever since kid massive decided to re-work this true classic, it seemed that many other people wanted to join the ride. we can surely say, this is the one! kids sound, the vocals of elliotte and the fantastic original song push it to the next level for 2009. on the remix duties no other than: avicii, carl tricks & beatchuggers!

subdance is proud to announce their debut ep by the italian techno music legend lory d! last year we already heard some brand new things from lory, when, after 6 years without any new releases, he published two new twelve inches on the scottish label wireblock. æplisskenÆ on subdance is another stroke of genius from the roman as he comes up with two more classic examples of his unmistakable trademark sound, sombre and enigmatic, disturbing and fascinating, euphoric and energetic, powerful and direct! the a sideÆs æbank robberyÆ is a fresh interpretation of the track of the same name from john carpenter s æescape from new yorkÆ soundtrack. lory musically transports carpenterÆs apocalyptic visions of the last days into the new millennium. the brooding bass line and haunting atmospheres push the listener to an otherworldly dimension. this is loryÆs own masterpieceà lory d in technicolor and cinemascope! the b sideÆs ædisso bassÆ aims for the dance floors immediately. a perfect techno-electro track where exploding synthesizer cascades meet fragile melodies and archetypal lory d bass lines, each with a mind of their own. redshape, another techno music legend, is responsible for the mastering of both tracks. amazing stuff!

delusions hits the spot once again with number 3, this time highlighting the production skills of a certain zepp001. the seattle based disco obsessive has been leaking out high class edits over the years under a dizzying array of deliberately forgettable pseudonyms but feels the time is right to push his original tracks. who better then to make these beauties available for you discerning djs than delusions of grandeur. dont sleep is a dark, brooding groover with throbbing bass, cute cuica fills and intense strings that lalo schifrin would be proud of. a real heavy mood setter and as good an introduction to the sound of zepp001 as you re likely to need. next up we have the mighty revenge in for remix duties on dont sleep. the much hyped master of the edit keeps the vibe of the original well and truly in place but opts for an even more stripped back approach leaving all the space for crisp claps, slowly building strings and bowel wobbling bass. flip over for giraffe, a more upbeat affair where the filtered keys come to the fore and things steer in a hyped up deep house direction. show your luv...

a welcome return for big love with a summer anthem in the making. uk duo, haji & emanuel, are back with another distinctive vocal track, this time with the unmistakable voice of roachford. the original has already been causing an early buzz in many dj sets now with a top international remix package. german trio dbn turn out an infectious club mix that pumps up the tempo. dutch / austrian duo hagenaar & albrecht crank up the energy factor on their tribal edged mix and russian pairing swanky tunes really push the peak time button on their storming remix which rounds things off nicely. big love are back with a bang!

slamming disco mix by the glimmers!

banging playground disco mixes!!

mighty robot kicks off 2009 with the first vinyl release from french electro artists katelectro and jauzas the shining. the original version of >plug< is music custom-made for a dark room and a strobe, the spoken vocal adding to the sense of vague unease. newcomer ottomatique takes his >plug< rework in a different direction, retaining the vocal, adding some eighties synths and underpinning it all with a throbbing industrial meets disco bassline. the legendary ultradyne push the discomfort and discord up a notch in their remix, staying fairly true to the original, but drenching it with their unique sinister atmospherics. things take a reflective turn for closing track >art of noise< as ghosts crackle in the circuits and bring the collection to a close.

balearic electrohouse track! includes chus soler remix!!

a huge tech house output!! the a side proposes >welcome to the moon<, a pure underground anthem with his instantly recognisable and wicked drum programming style. then the track drops a huge and energetic bass line with a screaming 90s rave-influenced synth loop. the dark voice rises among random effects giving that spacey atmosphere when the break push it up to the standout climax. are you house heads ready for this? the b side drives us to another planet >mars<.this progressive-tech track stands into dark-prog line. packed with loud bass this is another big room tune that everybody should play. the bass line rolls on a simple drum pattern giving to the synth the main objective to make you shout. then the whole track is served up by a constant acid line creating a sinister feeling to this club monster

great techno/techhouse album by sean colt, made in 2003. rare copy of the first edition, 1st vinyl is yellow, 2nd is red.

continuing the spectacle that is the poker flat tournament series, we present two more surefire lessons in dancefloor mechanics. after his last storming >zeitgeist e.p< for poker flat, londons very own dark knight raudive aka oliver ho has crafted a powerfully hypnotic club tool that truly exists within its own world of unique and unmistakable sound. carefully executed beats roll forward as an astounding landscape of colourful vocal suggestions and emotions swirl and evolve. its a heady, uncompromising track that certainly stands out as its own, but could complement many different dj situations, from driving peak time sets, to free-flowing after-hours sessions… heading up the opposition for looks set to be a fine tournament indeed, minimise head-honcho and continual key-player donnacha costello brings things down and dirty with his unforgiving and foreboding >i must be going<. a catchy proto-acidic bass line snakes a winding path through a dense atmosphere of late-night paranoia. perfectly crafted beats push the energy along with a casual swagger, whilst the pleasingly tripped out vocal undertones leave the imagination to run wild

the freestylers return with an uber catchy cameo sampling track mixes from ac slater & the mighty stantons !! pure please

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<
