label chief guy gerber returns with a stunning 12 inch double ep on his own >supplement facts records<. all seven original mixes in this release were written and produced during the summer of 2009 and each one captures a particular aspect of this period for guy. summer time meant busy time this year! apart from touring and being based in ibiza for his weekly residence at space, guy managed to find studio time to work on his album (scheduled for 2010) and this release. my invisible romance is an intimate glance into the seemingly borderless music production world of guy gerber. whilst delivering gerbers signature production style this release also surprises with its romantic elements and as usual he teases the listener with his trademark dream-like adaptations. the inspiration for this release came from guys regular performances and majorly from the time spent on the road- as a guest artist in friends studios and from his work in >improvised studios<. >my invisible romance< is a release close to guy gerbers chest, filled with emotions and surprises- a truly intimate collection of musical works

supported by renato cohen, danny tenaglia, sian, patrick pulsinger, axel bartsch, bukaddor & fishbeck, orde meikle, kiko... let us introduce the new trapez artist deepchild with his brand new 2 track ep on vinyl. deepchild writes bass-heavy machine-music for broken people, disjointed booty-bass for backroomdreamers, fuelled with sweat, jackin funk and tears. >backroom< is such a track, a warm, raw, urgent and sensual. techno at its finest, highlighting deepchilds voice stronger and more delicately than in the other track. his misch-masch of deep detroit futurism, southern-crunk and forgotten space-disco cut with a rusting razor-blade of german tech-minimalism and filtered through a personal collection of odd analogue equipment is a secretformula that has >backroom< come to life! the b-side >death panel my ass< is a masterpiece of a recording with a hell of a tricky production, cool vocal snippets, cool effects over dubs... well a busy track but at the same time at ease and deep.
deepchild is based in australia and has recorded for resopal in the past. he is playing worldwide and on trapez parties in 2010 !

these two fellas from upstate wanted to party, so we met downtown at the club later that night... fresh off the mystery meat imprints auspicious debut comes ncams double header deep house excursion. comprised of nick chacona and anthony mansfield, the bi coastal duo have reworked seemingly untouchable bits of discos past to come up with two sublime housey reworks. handle this is a firm favorite of one todd terje, and its no wonder what with its slow, hypnotic build. nick and anthony strip down a prelude classic to its core elements to create an otherworldly rework, teasing the female vox before they let loose midway through. the bongers is a not so subtle nod to the original source material, again with the boys retooling a classic from the prelude catalogue with dazzling results.

excellent chicago styled deephouse cuts with elements of soul , funk and disco too... very happy feeling.. very very serious dj food

the first track >once u loved<, is warm and emotional, with slowly evolving strings topped with mysterious whispering vocals, reminding to older blake baxter material. 2nd track, >tears< is a fierce and sexy chicago-house influenced dancetrack, with a solid baseline, steady beats and lush keys.<br 7>first track on the b-side is >lift me high<, a downtempo dreamlike analogue house classic with haunting strings and vocals of miss salvador, merging larry heard and g-strings with an italo-disco kind of atmosphere. last on this ep is >soul spark<, an atmospheric techno track with the raw energy of early relief-releases and the psychedelia of dance mania.

great 4 tracker by marcello napoletano & francesco schito (aka fran mela) aka i.f.m.!!!

wurst are going from strength to strength with another killer 12inch, this time from ulysses. latin combo features pretty much no latin elements on first listen although we think we can hear a few claps and percussion samples from a charanga 76 cover of chic that might be influencing the title. both tracks feature dubbed out drums and a warm analog feel throughout making for a pleasant listen and two solid club tracks at the same time.

dubby deephouse with exotic samples in a similar style to ibadan releases!if hypnotic techno with dramatic soundscapes is your thing let the anthem >nil< by martino & enzo wash over you. the duo go global with >yanawe< that meshes subtle disco with indian infused elements adding an exotic flavor to the insistent groove. limited 200 pressing

the original release on the massive pengo records was one of the most successful 12 inches, but very hard to find these days. >go get busy< has been put on the record in two different versions: the extended rave mix and the hardcore edit are digitally remastered, so they are now available in the best possible quality. but whats even more important about this re-release is the remix, brought to you by the genius of paul elstaks offensive records: accelarator.

baaz comes back home at sthlmaudio recordings for a rich and surprise full new ep called woodland drive. the 12 inches start right off with sink, a very baaz styled house track which is dance appealing and yet refined and subtle. a raw bassy groove monster track. the next one might surprise the baaz fans out there, yes it’s a hip-hop track featuring the soul vocals of katrina marie. we figured out that it might be fresh to provide some other point of view in the repeating herself dance scene. the b side strikes hard on the house side again, it s gone is one of those pure shining and rolling tracks. once to you uplift it you’d just let it go. a bass heavy subtle and groovy house cut, baaz trademark?! essential. and again the b2 and closing track is an lush and low key hip-hop science out of baaz most retired places

more fresh house music sounds from the home taping crew, this time featuring two emerging house talents – se62 and eddie c (jisco music). se62 is a new artist straight out of the ukraine who is exciting many djs and producers with his heavily atmospheric and raw take on the house sound. the main track wall ride is a slick slice of motor city soul remixed by canadian producer eddie c. while on the flip, the tape is a raw, heads down moodymann inspired affair. press play and let the dancefloor do the talking.

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!

coloured vinyl! ike delivers his second release on philpot records after the infamous >pressin on< ep (php031) which was massively played out by dj koze, laurent garnier a.o… not losing the thread ike strikes again with his special mixture of raw funk and classy house-music. all tracks on this 12inch are lost & found tracks from ikes 4-track reels, so please excuse the somewhat ruff textures

timeless dancefloor fire gets a timely seasonal release on this exclusive double 12 inch pack. its the first compilation of artists from the desolat family - and its a manifesto of sorts, showcasing the different facets of the desolat sound. these artists, in their own ways, unpack multiple meanings of house & techno to create unique tangents. munichs tini steps out with her debut release: a staggered, raw dance track representative of her electrifying, wired-up dj sets. its the first solo outing on desolat for studio guru martin buttrich: his sensitive manipulation of delicate sonic quicksand underpinned with an insistent beat. argentine muso guti drops his second release on desolat, contributing chipped down spatial melodies following his first 2x12inch on the label, las cosas que no se tocan. loco dice brings his hip hop roots via heavyweight bassline and disembodied groove to truly shake up the house and overturn expectations. shimmering swing is the thing for romanian duo livio & roby featuring george g as premiesku, enunciating their very own definition of dance. lastly, desolats african-italian man yaya develops his sound further - displaying his musical upbringing with a punchy effusive get-up-and-dance vibe. its a fine way to end the year - six glimmering tracks wrapped up on desolats very special 10th release!

absolutely superb debut release from paul bennett on the new modernista label. he shares his love for raw machine music as exemplified by mid to late eighties labels like trax, dj international, dance mania & hotmix5 across these four tracks of expertly constructed retro deep house, acid and emotive electronic disco timeless music, which totally redefined the clubbing soundtrack, revisited and rendered in glorious modern production technicolour homage, yes... but with enough noughties nouse to win over a whole new generation.

direct is stripped back, raw house tracks. bleepy yet with plenty of deepness, its refreshing to see a producer out there not following suit, but producing an individual sound. the direct remix comes in classic alvarado style, heavy tribal beats, dubby reverberations, trippy deepness, and dense and engaging production. his remix is already picking up support from the likes of dixon, rocky (x-press 2), paul woolford and jay tripwire.

from the home of sensuous house music shelter records we are brought the record crazy love, featuring the african princess zap mama. what we get on this record is unrestricted house song by a full bodied eloquent vocalist. yes all the elements of house are here, deep bass, pianos, vibe, strings and much more. the heads will turn right to the spencer loveslap mix because of the steaming afrocentric percussion which is sliced between the house movements... this is made for the shelter, body & soul, warehouse alike

this time is all about peak time. alessio and virgil, masters of evil techno, board the boat with two amazing dance floor killers. the power of the one, on side a, has all the elements needed to make the crowd scream and jump: jackin drums and all those layers of crazy synths creating that tension we all love. on side b, kamun brings some elastic mayhem to our ears. again, a dark dense atmosphere is the vehicle over which the tension evolves. this time, its a fat sawtooth synth which adds all that frenzy to this peak time track.

uk house music and disco superhero rob mello has been instrumental in shaping the evolution of the uk sound since way back when. through labels like classic, luxury service and the way ahead of its time disco elements series on azuli in the 90s, not to mention countless innovative remixes and collaborations, his production output has shone out like a supernova for well over a decade. this is a return to songwriting, to tracks with longevity and a timelessness which transcends forgettable vogues. butterfly is the debut release from this dynamic quattro known as beulah heights - three producers/writers and one singer. a dream team collaboration between royal college of music and child prodigy lyn goddard, dj/producer and film scorer rob mello, producer/dj nathan boddy aka the illustrious office gossip and the amazing vocal talent of singer katie beadle. so here we have it, the majestic first release on beulah heights. a slowly pulsating monster of a cut, shot through with a futuristically executed homage to early 80s productions and more than enough girth to guarantee a powerful response from the floor. already road tested to rapturous response, this is an absolute beauty.

final release !!! remember dj sneaks legendary basement relief records releases... raw dark bangin chicago at it best

you may not have heard so much from andre (aka &me) so far. instead of the flash and glitter associated with most of his producer colleagues, hes preferred to stay in the shadows, co-producing and ghost writing for artists like dj hell and terranova. now after putting out his first solo single on keinemusik, which was supported by all the key players (front room label boss jesse rose, luke solomon, gabriel ananda, danny tenaglia and dubfire plus many more) &me is finally ready to go public as they say. he may have taken some time to figure out his own style of blending techno and house music but now hes out theres really no escape. with a name like an attention deficit childs mantra its a wonder he stayed in so long. the on ep is an excursion into the type of techno dusted pulsating minimal house that has been so big for artists like luciano esse and arnaud le texier and which is heard on heavy rotation in berlin meccas like bar25. with a side on ever present digital squelches (reminiscent of a rolf harrris style wobble board) are laid over shakers, stripped-back beat and the familiar on vocal. its not hard to understand why tiefschwarz have been rinsing it for quite some time now as a huge afterhours groover. b side talking days, swimming in lush deep techno elements, weaves through more melodic territory but is no less infectious

excellent raw and groovin / spooky techhouse

aduly only 36 introduces yakine on a + b with a julien chaptal remix. drop it - a jackin, upbeat house cut with lots of bounce to the ounce. solid groovy swing, thick bassline, and some bboy vox stabs for some in yo face hits. nice and tracky, take it to for a lengthy mix in or out, its a pick up. stickney - punchy and tracky with a tight roll for a smooth, jazzier drop stickney is asking for a prime time spot in the set. splashed with a little chi filter, the bassline roll brings the kicker. hot track with smoldering style. julien chaptal remix has a pop-lockin house feel to it with its sliced and diced elements, this is a tight jam. sweet build for a stack full of speakers, could be dirty or classy, either or this tracks works a sweaty floor.

repress , back in stock !!!including anja schneider remix of >three weeks<. part 2 of his album released on three 12 inches. massive top dj support!
the choice of anja schneider for remix duties was an obvious one, the pair first met on a shuttle bus to an event and in short stead paul was co-writing for anja, becoming part of the driving force behind her huge debut album ‘beyond the valley’, now she pulls out all the stops to reciprocate with this standout reworking.
first up on the package is the anja schneider remix of ‘three weeks’, the opening cut from paul’s recent album. here the pair, deconstruct the parts and rebuild things into a deep and hypnotic version that has instant dancefloor appeal stamped all over it. solid, chunky drums rub up against simple spacey synth lines and warm pads to huge effect. bearing in mind the superb quality of the original this is a job well done, and a real addition to this great package.
next we have the original of ‘three weeks’, a track named after the extensive time it took to record. paul had originally intended to record the album in 6-8 weeks, then ended up spending nearly half of his allocated time on this opener. but it has to be said it was worth the effort. this is a slice of solid tech inspired house with subtle vocal elements and a musicality that cuts through the records club based nature. excellent stuff.
finally we have diamant flute, another winner from the ‘me, myself and live’ album. deep and highly engaging this again displays paul outstanding talents as a producer, weaving melodic elements deep into the mix and retaining an incredible underground electronic sound.

>catch it< is a great minimal, techno groove monster with many detailed elements. >catch 32< is the tribal track for playing in the nighttime. michel laros remix of >catch 32< is a very lovely interpretation - summer and sun is back. >catch it< is the sound of purepuremusic! first pressing in white vinyl.

we are very proud to present guillaumes new ep. hope you like it. >the pussy shepherd< was already licensed for sebo ks new mix cd for watergate records.

this time the frankfurt based duo chris hope & andre walter (stigmata, perc trax) sended us 3 wicked tracks and we are proud to present them on our fresh driving forces recordings imprint. the >vibra slap< ep is exactly what a state of the art techno release needs to be. dark and atmospheric, low in the speed but straight kickin and full of wicked sounds and effects. on the a side you can find the name giving title track called vibra slap which is a pumping and crazy clubtool. the very long breakdown and its noisy leadsound will let every crowd go totally crazy. with septum and otum 288 side b delivers you 2 very dark and andre walter typical tracks for the peaktime of special and raw techno happenings. these tracks seem to come out straight from hell!

well rounded records launch with the debut 3-track ep from the up and coming south londons boy wonder: deadboy! three instant and memorable dancefloor gems that effortlessly combine elements of house / uk garage & funky. all tracks are characterised by twisted yearning vocal hooks, classic analogue pads, substantial subs and crisp original drum patterns. there is style and vibe in abundance here as you will no doubt recognise! these tunes have already gathered notoriety thanks to their inclusion on influential mixes by the likes of jackmaster (wireblock/numbers), ben ufo (hessle audio), oneman & braiden (both rinse fm), brackles and shortstuff. deadboy has already been tipped as one of the producers to watch in 09 and this is likely to be a one of the 12s of the year.

dan curtin, now releasing records for 11 years, returns back to classic form with a 4 track ep of smooth, deep, calculated beats. dan takes us through a time warp with elements of jazz, funk, and r&b, with his own inimitable touch that puts his music in a unique category all its own. autonomic groove reminds of the better purveyors of fine funk material, while other songs such as bygone epigone and chained present new takes on dans familiar jazzy sound. another cool down low item!! tip!

>gobbldigook< is the spectacular opener of sigur ros recent album >med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust<, undeniably one of the most hymnic songs they have written thus far. fellow islanders stephen stephenson aka presidentbongo (of gus gus fame) and jack schidt couldnt resist but to transform the complex, polyrhythmic original into an exceptionally ethereal club track. when the angelic voice of jon birgisson unfolds on a club soundsystem it reallyfeels like you are in heaven. the ultraslim percussion groove takes over the tribalistic atmosphere of the original but catapults it some hundered light years forward into the future. thomas fehlmanns remix on the flipside is nothing short but sensational. we have no clue how he managed to turn this song into a schaffel but we salute him and take this as another unmistakable sign that the schaffelfieber is rising again in cologne, berlin, reykjavik andelsewhere ...

mika vainios four tracks on >vandal ep< show his preference for analogue working. he consequently develops a dynamic sound we all remember from pansonic, working himself from a rather abstract structure towards arrangements which more and more suit a club setting. straight beats, noise and the denial of the usual clicks&cuts elements are the ingredients for his contemporary version of electronic club music. the quality of his music will not only convince on the dancefloor but also on the home stereo. mikas passion for dynamics, reduction and industrial oscillates between these three cornerstones and what his sound stands for: being physical, raw and profound beyond all cliches.

mark grusane and mike cole are better known as the owners of mr peabodys records (store) in chicago. this track was taken from the primitive house trax cd they put out in small numbers. this early nineties track very much reminds us of the true chicago house sound… raw and sweaty! this will be available as a special limited edition.

incl. manuel tur remix. the second chapter in mild pitch history reveals the cryptically twinkling gem that is langenberg s times , a dark yet sensitive house affair which easily bridges the gap from a rougher 1990s new jersey kind of feel to the modern takes on house music of today. filtered stab fragments and deep chordal layers gently slide into each other like watercolour and the shifting frequencies of a sizzling vinyl record contribute to langenberg s most thrilling work to date. on the flip, manuel tur gears up for an atmospheric remix expansion reminiscent of his critically acclaimed 0201 album debut on freerange earlier this year. countless harmonic layers twine around a filtered disco sample, without ever revealing its full sound spectrum while the raw tripping beat keeps stomping relentlessly…

its really difficult to find something truly original nowadays. something different, something personal. juju & jordash are this and much more. for the second downbeat, they give us two times 10 minutes gems. psychodelic, dubby and slow beats with a bit of raw and acid elements in a continuous evolution. pure juju & jordash sound… 100% downbeat style… music with soul in a corporeal container….. this label is dedicated to yagoba. aupa!
