following on from his massive cross genre hit >computation<, dismantle hits us again with his first release on terrain, n-types jungle influenced dubstep label. both tracks have been kept very exclusive, to keep the dubplate vibe alive.
broke: deep dark and dangerous, rolling breaks and tribal percussion alongside jungalist pads and thunderous bass. this one tears down the dance in the best way possible. dark, but energetic, a staple in n-type set.
times up: similar darkness but more steppy. this one hits you hard with tearing hoovers, powerful lfos and all the atmosphere from a 90s warehouse rave, in a 2011 style.
supported by n-type, hatcha, walsh, youngsta and benton

ultraschall is an homage to the first big techno club in munich. the owners of harry klein were part of the old ultraschall, which has a unique legendary status nowa¬days. the older generation in particular often long for the good old days. yes those times shouldnt be forgotten, especially not in terms of sound, but its also important to move on and attempt new things. like supporting vinyl, going to a who¬lefood shop or ending war. ok that might sound like a bro¬ken record, but how about spending less time on facebook and actually with your friends, cooking for your parents or organizing a break dance battle in your backyard? daniel takes us on a journey through the past and back to the future again. a charming mixture of laid-back grooves combined with some rough n ready rave moments make this a rapturous trip, no matter what time it is. track names are a really interesting element of music. some artists dont care about them at all and call their tracks a1 or something non-descript. yet many titles can be really funny, others made up words, and some corre¬spond to current events or times. some just really fit the sound. if you lose something, in general its a pretty nasty and unsettling feeling. but you have to deal with bad luck when it strikes. losing something can teach you an im¬portant lesson, or simply show you what it means to be unfortunate and down. not knowing the lows as well as the highs wont allow you to evaluate life very well. most important is to really feel and be yourself, despite the ups and downs.

after netsky, kg, break and nymfo smashed some belgian dance classics by original artists shameboy, buscemi, ultrasonic7 and magnus, a few more d&b hotshots step to the plate.
blame gets the opportunity to rework his favorite tune of all time, the ultimate rave track >anasthasia< by t99. meanwhile men of the moment fred v & grafix add some 21st century flavour to >camargue<, one of many charttopping hits by the legend that is cj bolland.
with support from netsky, london electricity, d-minds and fabio among others and a forthcoming upload by ukf, the future looks bright for these badboys.

nice price deal !!! the first release from il bosco aka christian wood aka woody aka crowhead aka nudge! a man of many names he has been part of the make up of manchester club land for many years. he was resident dj at fat citys infamous friends and family night & a recording artist for grand central and aim’s atic records during the noughties. after a couple of years hiatus he’s back out of the studio with four tracks and taking a new direction. the tempo is up and a mutation of old school rave, italo, house and electro is in the offing.

breaking onto the scene via a series of anonymous 12inch, it was after garnering reverence as a big name producer in disguise that cottam was unveiled to be the humble newcomer paul cottam. rising through the early rave scene in his hometown of preston, he first cut his teeth as a dj warming up for the likes of surgeon, dave clarke and regis. despite his techno upbringing, it was the slo-mo tempos of mark e and the revenge that inspired cottam to produce his own brand of dusty soul and hip hop-grounded house. however, in april cottam returned to his roots with >sunrise sunset< on use of weapons, sinking a rave core down to his signature slung bpm. it is a journey into sub-aquatic acid house that began with a series of remixes for luv jam, pattern select and morning factory, and one that he continues to explore on his aus music debut. aptly titled >deep deep down< sculpts the feeling of acid techno into warm slo-mo house. ukrainian producer vakula takes the track off on another tangent entirely, stripping away its propulsive chugging heartbeat and replacing it with an off-kilter, spaced-out pulse reminiscent of theo parrish when he s in that kind groove. on the flip, >twang< is a return to cottam s brand of languid, soulful house, steeped with groove destined to incite the dancefloor shuffle.

full drumming, a grumpy chord sound embraced from a dark, rebelling melody line like out of the old rave days and the demanding voice from the massive track internal, which calls the >soldier< with his name. remixer rolf mulder mills with darkly digging sequences and creaky acid effects sharp edged points in the sole of the dancers, so that these also find enough hold on the slant melodies. >skydive< makes in the matter of grooving also thick cheeks. the track rumbles more and more elegantly than stoic through the space and pulls from the propulsive combination of the vocal-hookline and the harmony changes a well-arranged serving of pop flair which cuts the darkness of the night with a flashing blade from light. toureaus impact version of >skydive< serves 8-bit like clicking in the treble area, swears to the rhythmical spirit of the good old days and asks him for a bouncing dance on the floors in the here and now.

the newborn label oasi lab entrusts his 3rd vinyl output >third way ep< to a pair of talented producers: andrea bigi and marius laurentiu that after the exit on prestigious bla bla records, monique musique, be real, microzoo, compose an elegant track but at the same time killer for all dance floors, their sound is fresh and full of magnetic charge and suitable for all situations, thats the confirmation that a new generation of producers is taking life. thickness of the remix of the famousproducer horatio (viva music, natural rhythm, quanticman, sleep is commercial) which transforms the song into a trip ofincredible old school taste but with twists of surreal and hypnotic sounds! pure dynamite for rave oriented sound lovers. in the same ep, madutec s debut in oasilab with his deep and dry sound incredibly effective if you require elegance and powerat the same time, track that makes the ep mark a new way of making music andconvey positive vibes.

supported and played by: slam / laurent garnier / alan fitzpatrick / takkyu ishino / pig & dan / arnaud le textier / ascii.disco

torb is fabien & julien torb. two french guys from the already mytical motorbass recording studio of paris. julien is a new engineer, my faithfull and beloved assistant. fabien is building modular synths and repairing our lovely pultecs and emts in the attic. the day fabien finished the tt1 (torb technologie number one) their love of francesco farfa and their pure techno ethic collided into some magical music. we at cassius records are so proud to put their beautiful sound out. in those days of maximal and minimal war, in those days where real house music seems to attract people again on the floor their techno is a bless and a bliss. reminding me of my rave age, when the all of paris was going to mozinor to dance to francesco farfa, armando, yayo or the ur guys until the break of dawn, i couldnt resist to ask them to grant us with a splendid ep : mars premier. i have nothing really to say more than that, and those who know me will understand that this thing is serious. peace and happiness zdar

over the last nine years, the resopal crew has written another chapter of the german tech house book. with releases by d. diggler, robag wruhme or by shooting stars like paul ritch and johannes heil, resopal has celebrated some of the biggest records from 2001 to 2011. in this spirit... we feel the bassline by talented berlin young producer michael knop. his body of work, weak chin ep needs no introduction. he applies his excellence with searing modern techno beats tweaked with a barrage of sound effects and topped off with a subtle futuristic rave complexity. three tracks on vinyl that are nothing less than groundbreaking.

dorninger (who has chosen the prickly project-name >dorn< which means >thorn< in english) gets presented on this vinyl in his proven quality as an accomplished sound-explorer all across electronic soundscapes. you will find a range from dance-tracks containing fluffy breakbeats, psychotically screwed basses and flogging electric shocks (hard timz, my little synthpopinferno, la batteria della noce) to the point of impulsive (no) wave rave (crying) as well as nervous chill-in-grooves (night oh night). due to the fact that an album-cover provides space for 2x30x30cm art it is more than obvious that houztekk came in touch with the vienna based artist julie monaco as the houztekk crew admired her work since a certain period of time. as well this was the reason that maximilian m. contacted julie monaco telling her that a record which perfectly corresponds with her graphics is in planning.

from the very outset, the m.c.d.e. remix of shit robots >answering machine< picks up in a completely different realm from marcus lambkins original, which appears on his 2010 debut, from the cradle to the rave. the stuttgart-based producer has replaced janine >planningtorock< rostrons slowly rising vocal opener with outerspace emanations that fade as they drift into a constellation of wide house grooves and deep bass. rostrons own pizzo remix is up next, and in (a)typical fashion, she takes the song and shifts its mood by clearing away the dancier elements of its predecessor in favor of a foundation of strings in every form: plucked pizzicato notes, low cellos tones, and high pitched violins that flit through. last up is another rostron creation, the whisper remix, which actually outpaces lambkins version in bpm, but is lighter all the same. here, she uses synths almost as a wash of white noise – a whisper, if you will – and only drops heavier vocals here and there along the songs rustling path.

der dritte raum is a super project at constant altitude flight. releasing music on labels such as harthouse and cocoon since the early ninetees der dritte raum has established a name for high quality electronic music and a live show you will never forget. with their Überhit >swing bop< 3 years ago der dritte raum has kicked off a still going roaring-20s-hype in the electronic music scene in berlin and anywhere else. now here we go with the remixes of this epic piece. the question was: who could remix this unique track withut making it just a worse copy of the original? the answer: t.raumschmiere might turn this track into a dirty wrecking rave monster and as a complementary addition, acid pauli might be a good choice to take the track in a totally different direction. well, t.raumschmiere did what we expected, just in an even better way than we hoped, and acid pauli did as well. he gave swing bop an outfit that makes it sound even more dreamy and out of time and space. enjoy!

supported by: tim toh, oskar offermann & edward, shaddy foul&sunk, boris hotton, andy weid, hunee,.. frank is back for another round. this time its frank music head poncho johannes delivering two heavy tracks for your dancefloor. we got a classic double-a side, personally stamped in a basement and limited as sunny days last summer. first there is >rough rough raw< ... well its rough and its rough and its sort of raw. dubby vocoders, 909, rave breaks, you name it! second is -way out of sight- which got a fuzzy bassline, little trance moments for maximum party pleasure and some more dirtness in between. this is most probably slammin muscle house for skinny jeans boys. to sum things up: basement is not a crime! our good friend tim says: a few days ago i listened to an old cassette from the year 2000. >roughroughraw< really contains the spirit of this time. the right tune to start taking some >e<s again, smoking a joint and gettin nuts on a tiny dirty dancefloor. underground ish for sure... and same for >way out of sight< especially the first chord of that synth, which reminds me on michael jacksons >thriller<. thank you and turn that swagger on!

dutch dj day-mar drops het first solo ep on abstract. hard techno at its best. industrial beats at the edge of hardcore this is the ultimate rave record for the big crowd. dont be fooled by the looks of this girl, hard!

first track >bloom< whispers sweet nothings in your ears while shimmering synths caress your neck and skipping percussion dances around your groin. unable to resist, you let yourself go and >without warning< spikes your drink, drags you into a filthy warehouse rave and leaves you grinning maniacally under a flickering strobe light.

25-year-old tim green from the south of england is well-known to the attentive observer of the electronic dance music scene: besides releases on get physical, trapez and four:twenty recordings, he also gained a lot of attention with his contributions to the third cocoon 10 inch vinyl (lone rider) and the cocoon compilation i (exercise). on his debut ep, green presents the whole stylistic bandwidth that modern floorfillers can have. for almost ten minutes, >lemon< oscillates between a full frontal percussion assault, fragmented deep house vocals and detroit-influenced harmonies, consequently setting the signs to >summer<. the first track on the flipside, >jimmy rave up<, is a dark and pushing runner that impressively proves greens wealth of variants once again. the trio is completed by >dodjo<, a track that forms a more than pleasing intersection between tropic calypso sounds and machine-like strictness - an unforgettable track that will echo long after the year 2011, promised!

electric deluxe is proud to present the new terence fixmer ep le terrible. and as the name already suggests this ep is up for some serious damage. a side kicks off with le terrible a dynamic and powerful monster of a techno track which pumps up your adrenaline with its pounding bass drum and hypnotic built ups. gut feeling! b1: concept c is a strong track in which terence fixmer works his production magic with more experimental elements such as drone sounds and his ragged and slightly distorted signature bass. nonetheless creating a high energy level tune ready to be unleashed on the dancefloor. b2: last with the vinyl version dance like paranoid (marcel dettmann remix). marcel dettmanns remix wins you over by its carefully arranged melody and drum pattern which creates a melancholic and timeless rave anthem. bliss!

>whats worth the bucks<, though for its 19 years of psycho thrill anniversary the world-wide respected, cologne based, cutting-edge techno imprint strikes again with another technofied steppin quad-pack release.
this fourfold-dash specialises primarily on the long demanded 100 copy limited re-press of carsten rauschs classic techno/house hybrid >cat eyes<. an unbelievable ever-fresh workout from contemporary minimal splashes to rolling techno and acid infected beats, proving that you dont really need a worn-out 90ies tekkno or house sample in order to rock the house all the time and lift us finally up into an eerie, energetic world of wicked bass and driving beats.

kapitel 2, and once everything is new! the collaboration of talented young producers and skilled heroes of the scene provides a colorful picture of the current sound development of the label in 2011. between tempo throttled, acid infected dancefloorkillers of l kubic and old school groove monsters of tokra thaan in a remix of james flavour up to grinding minimal beats with hypnotic-flashing sounds of trockensaft, to chameleon tracks from swen weber, which welcomes you with a dancehall impregnated beat in a 4/4 beat corset, which is ironed in the course of its construction and stay suddenly like a stomping and snorting steam train in the ear canal. and if then hardy hard mates early nineties rave influences with house vocals and flat-fuzz comes with a ghostly- kicking sampletrack around the corner which is just as hip hop as electro, it is clear, that these pieces are absolute killers of their guild, from the first to the last track, and each of them is conspicuous by its own distinctive aesthetic. originality is all

from the very start, track one the first thirteen minutes of love opens the album with over ten minutes of ambient unlike anything you’ve heard in years, a long, elegiac composition somewhere between carl craig and the chill-out zone at a bygone rave. it’s a warning: take a deep breath before being swept away by eight tracks that span detroit and berlin, front 242 and carl craig, linking them via soaring trance, carefully-crafted minimal, the sound of the 90s, the sound of the new millennium. it’s hard to imagine the strike force and heart pangs it will inevitably inflict on any club in the know

ramrod is a rebell on the dancefloor and on the decks! known for his guitar and rock based productions he brings us 4 tracks with strong songcharacter in his rebell-rave style. he is also known for his great dj sets together with syntax error as the die bomclikks (german pronounciation) dj team. another new record which can be used to bring the dancelfoor up to the boiling point.

tube10 returns with their 10th release already and their not mucking about! usas own don distal is stepping up with the ever epic >apple bottom< is it juke? no! is it house? no! is it dubstep? hell no! apple bottom is a hybrid tune is there ever was one ... this one smashes the dancefloor and leaves the crowd begging for more. with its juicy form and rave like edits its obvious that distal is no one day fly. with releases set for pinchs tectonic label and sindens grizzly you will know what to expect from this guy.
flip it over for >space graffiti< another piece of interstellar vandalism. this time distal shows what he is worth on a more dubby side. dont underestimate this one as this will pound any speaker system to bits with its firm deep bassline. let the tribal beats pick you up and put you down wherever you want to!

founded in 2007 by julien henry (synths & vocals) & marc aumont (bass & vocals), rafale got the meters in overdrive right from the start. they played festivals after festivals (les trans musicales, les découvertes du printemps de bourges, astropolis, art rock...) & stood out thanks to inflammatory shows in which raw rock power melts with rapturous clubbing rave. after the release of two eps (rock it, dont stop itt - excessively blogged - & drive, one of year 2009’s best videos according to french magazine les inrocks) & with the support of the media, this double act grew to a trio when franck richard joined on the drums to work on a third ep produced by arnaud rebotini (blackstrobe):eraser. today rafale releases its brand new 12 inch produced by arnaud rebotini, everglades.

lory ds idiosyncratic take on techno is an all-analogue assault on the senses, a soundtrack to the end of the world punctured by shards of acid and twisted metal soundscapes. a john carpenter for the rave generation, so to speak. the enigmatic lory is something of a legend in his native city of rome, where the former dmc champion was responsible for introducing his compatriots the sounds of techno, acid and hardcore with 5.000 strong raves featuring ritchie hawtin, underground resistance, joey beltram and lfo. his label sounds never seen was the soundtrack to these raves – an industrial yet sometimes beautiful vision of techno where drexciya, frankie bones and spk jammed in the roman sewers.

this latest lovebirds ep on winding road records is another absolute masterpiece of chilled house soul and deep rave. a really excellent package and a must-have lovebirds release. on the a-side track, >want you in my soul<, lovebirds teams up with vocalist stee downes. stees acclaimed debut album >all in a day< was released on sonar kollektiv in 2008, and who has worked and performed alongside the likes of motor city drum ensemble, amp fiddler, dj spinna, and bugz in the attic. their collaboration for winding road is a driving vocal house bomb that will rock your world. the b-side kicks off with the dirty tech tune >give me a dubf*ck<, an injection of dark rave that has been causing serious explosions on dancefloors for a few months now. perfect chemical material for the harder floors. the b2 track is hot toddys remix of >want you in my soul< - a chrome-plated disco dimension to the track by crazy p man chris todd, which was licensed to tensnakes >in the house< compilation before it even saw the light of day. hot stuff indeed.

big with: adam beyer: >..summer anthem!< , joseph capriati, samuel l session, davide squillace, danny howells, sian, karotte, laurent garnier, joel mull, marco bailey, sebrok, gregor tresher, diesel, alan fitzpatrick, ... with barely a breath after dmb004 comes another exclusive release from alexander kowalskis new label damage music berlin. the 1 inch >random pleasure< is the work of swiss electronic music dj, composer and producer david durango. in his numerous releases (pokerflat & mescene records) durango balances between deep and dark grooves to melodious and quirky dub vibes: here he oscillates between both levels. starting with the title track, the structure reveals consciously tight and multi-layered percussive hooks under the blanket of a substantial, dreamy bassline. the addition of a subtle, melancholic vocal sample ensures hypnotic effect. >ambivalus< walks right into a rather old school vibe, gathering strength with ever-increasing, spiraling keyboard stabs reminiscent of earlier rave eloquence that compels certain dancefloor revelry. the flip side sees the title track remixed by kowalski who treats the matter with his vivacious bite, stretching the voice, injecting a warbled fuzz bass and after a sublime break, enlarges the work to infectious dance dimensions. respected frankfurt artist patrick lindsey (terminal m & funkwelle) remixes the track additionally: he dissects the vocals, keeping the bass and keyboards minimally tight and sharply symmetric for a very mesmerizing treatment.

a very special release here from legendary rave producer eon, aka ian loveday. loveday, who passed away in 2009, was known and loved for his enduring impact on uk dance culture, although sadly this was the one and only release on his zarnak records imprint (although loveday himself released 12 inches on a host of labels including pal sl, vinyl solution and plus 8). upon release the papal magnet 12 inch sold out swiftly and soon became a highly sought after record - this batch was found recently and has been passed onto us with the blessing of lovedays family. on the a side you will find the relentless late night throb of >cable rider< - 90s techno at its finest. flip over for the moody introspection of >passing clouds< and raw, dusty analogue thump of >crosstown< - our pick of the bunch. an excellent release.

obs.cur strikes again! this time with a 4-tracker of labelowner collision - expect a refined combination of hardcore / acid / tekno / rave.

two words : no compromise. feedback (minimalrome) delivers some nasty acid house vibes for pitch black clubs based in dangerous at night sex-district. sandro galli (acv, hot trax), one of the true italian acid pioneers, is back on wax with an out-of-this-world track that just doesn’t stop climaxing into oblivion.. minimum syndicat explores the catacombs of the original acid rave sound : sinister 303 lines drenched in cavernous reverb, taking control of your nervous system like an alien parasite

these are only a few of many excellent appraisals for kasper bjørkes second album >standing on top of utopia< which was released in april last year and followed by strong singles and remixes from the album, most recently >heaven< with mixes by nicolas jaar, muzzle flash and prins thomas. with the >symptoms< ep we are happy to present an ep full of brandnew material. while we wait for kaspers next solo album, currently in production and set for a 2012 release, here is a treat of new and unreleased material for you! other than the rather vocal driven singles >young again<, >alcatraz< or >heaven< these four new instrumentals contain both slow disco vibes and rave style anthems. >symptoms< is a constantly moving, synth driven bastard, that provides a crunchy baseline and a wonderfully strange theme that is hard to get your head around. if this track was a movie, it would be x-rated and only shown after midnight - exactly around the time where you would drop this on the dancefloor and look forward to what happens. - initial pressing in coloured yellow vinyl!

in its original incarnation, shit robots -losing my patience- – a choice cut from 2010s from the cradle to the rave — strikes a balance between iciness and warmth, with hot chip frontman alexis taylors soulful vocals melting the tracks frosty synthlines. now, hot chip and unabombers remix the track and redefine its feel. hot chips new take on the single mystifies the original with deeply cut grooves, squelching bass and taylors heartbreaking, trilling vocals, pushed to lonesome front and center. the whole procession builds to a climax of chiming keys, striking percussion and synth melodies that corkscrew firmly into your head. the uks unabombers – the dj duo of luke cowdrey and justin crawford – take a cosmic approach, laying down synths that stretch toward infinity and holding off on vocals till near the songs midpoint. the dub remix gains traction and energy in its latter stages, with a heady mix of piercing synth squeals and taylors vocalizations set on repeat, like a mantra urging party goers to the dancefloor
