in the beginning the was a dream, a dream to become part of the living womb of good music. a dream of being real, true to myself and i set this dream to fly high. days and years passed by and i didn t seem to find response but one day in the arkest hour came the light and then i knew i had to hustle it s a song about my determination to express myself widely whitin the realm of good music, won t be selling my soul, won t be taking the easy path, its all about what is real, training harder and harding until i get what i want: the pure sound of goodness for the dancefloor, for my life and the whole world. that s how i hustle. abicah soul confuzed well this track started as another track but i took the sounds from anohter track put with this that how i came up with the idea confused .i started listening sounded good i stuck with it.onw word deep stephen rigmaiden jeepin basically jeepin was done and i was listening to acapella s for like 2 weeks trying to find the right vocal snippets. my thoughts were how was i going to get franck s interest? i knew the track was done but for him to pick it up it needed a vocal. then i came across the perfect vox. i used a montage of a few different vocals, some hip hop elements, some jazz elements, some gospel elements, ill leave up to you to decipher. i knew i wanted a raw, kinda hip hop type of feelingas well, something you can get on the dance floor and go uggh!, that s my shit!! or damn i gotta get in that circle and show em whats up! i made it for the dancers out there, b- boys, house dancers , or jus ya regular club kids. trying to get the crowd hype is always my intentions , i feel this track does jus that. now get on the dance floor and recognize the sound!

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

the brilliant morphine records come with it again. a sweeter and more jazzed out excursion than previous adventures on the label – this venice based band roll out music made with an intergalactic vision. strong stuff and backed up by a very raw track from ra.h aka morphosis!

excellent 4 track dj vinyl sampler, with slamming peaktime tunes from electro, discophunk and twisted tribal madness

the original track is a fusion between bips, bleeps, aggresive drums and acid basslines – among all this is an absolutely beautiful synth theme that is the key element of the track. yousef delivers the remix thats a raw thing using the syntherzeiser riff from the original and giving it an even more raw sound.

real soon is proud to present the debut release by berlin-based producer hauke freer. hauke has an old-school production approach, working with contemporary software but using a palette of mainly vinyl samples to give a loose, effortless, raw-sounding edge. my beat is a dirty, gritty, house work-out featuring deep, filtered chords, lo-fi percussion and roughly chopped vocal pieces. old-fashioned in a good way - just the way we like it! we must face our fears is a smoother, minimal track with a delicate, beautifully measured mesh of percussive knocks, slides & bleeps driven by a pulsing sine wave bass. as the track builds, a classic detroit-flavoured chord wash brings it all together. bliss... biography hauke freer grew up in a small town near hamburg and moved to berlin in 2000 to work for the techno label kanzleramt. after spending a year in australia djing and working for the label future classic, hauke returned to berlin to work for the resopal schallware label

train of thought is not only significant for being the latest album by detroit legend terrence dixon but for being yores premiere full length release. the albums tracks range from 80s sounding cybotron like excursions to raw, stripped down techno and warm, chord driven house alike tunes. the double vinyl set includes rapturous settings of synthetic sound and swinging cuts whose burbling keys, pounding kick drums, and brisk hi hats evoke the brilliant sheen of detroit techno. though his music may invite comparison to drexicya and atkins, dixons music often imitated but never duplicated ultimately stands alone.

following fondations first release - danton eeprom - these eyes/strictly erotics, cheerfully welcomed by djs, radios and press across europe - is the first ep of brwn shoes. this newcomer to the electronic scene played for long the role of observer, in the sweaty basements of london and valencia, before getting to djing and music production with panache, brio and attitude. brwn shoes sound is based on dirty, insistent monosyllabic basslines and superpositions of subtle notes and minimalistic gimmicks, providing moody, stripped-down pieces meant to drive the crowd and its dj corpus mentus. zeugma and tigers dont sleep are two perfect examples of this new breed of sound hes developing. crude, raw and sexy.

krischmann & klingenberg - germanys new faces of dance floor destruction - have a long history concerning their collaboration and music. they already met at school and soon after realizing that becoming musicians would be a dream they started living it: both infected by the hardstylevirus had been working together for a long time and after their first release at skull tunes and the immediately following >hammerhuhn ep< at unknown power the audience experienced raw power with a high level pressure. they spent nearly all of their living on equipment last year and one can truly say that they became a massive package performing live. prepare for fresh sounds and kicking beats
