john >julius< knight returns to the production forefront with his highly anticipated soulfuric trax ep >trax for my head<. >trax for my head< features three very diverse productions and is set to capture the attention of a wide range of djs, making this ep a perfect example of jjk s ability to create varied sounds to maximum effect. >the cut< rolls in as a captivating >french kiss< style tune, that fuses classic house sounds with contemporary beats, making this a seriously gripping instrumental-only track. most likely the biggest surprise production-wise, >the rush< is a laid-back but equally powerful tech cut. the blend of atmospheric sounds, tight beats and a driving bassline creates a sublime musical weapon. with >what is love< jjk delivers a prime-time bomb, that is set to create some real heat on the dancefloors. uplifting strings and a pumping bassline build the core of this explosive production

part 4 in this mighty complilation series offers deep excursions from well established producers like sian, ekkohaus, benfay and mark-henning! starting with sian (aka graham goodwin), who already released some fab tunes on poker flat, dessous, dirt crew recordings, karmarouge or einmaleins musik. his >skull< is a rave tuned piano rocker! greek producer ekkohaus (kickboxer, multi vitamins) goes deep and dubby with >spanish fly<, whereas swiss buddy benfay (still hot with his new 12inch on stattmusik) delivers >enchantress<: a real crispy club stomper! last but not least is mark-henning, well know for his music on a.o. freude am tanzen, frankie, einmaleins musik, clever music and soon trapez

through their involvement with leipzig-based netlabel 1bit wonder, daniel stefanik and sven tasnadi became acquainted with each other. recognizing similar approaches to production they decided to throw things together - cargo edition #3 being the result. daniel s unique feeling for melodic harmonies meets sven s preference for vivid complex rhythmic structures - the outcome being two enthralling tracks, at the same time driving and deliberate. this is stuff for real music lovers - it appeals to fans of contemporary dancefloor production means as well as to those who appreciate highly emotional records!! already played by mike shannon , jay haze, reynold...

great new band from glasgow whose blend of snow patrol style anthems and more american inspired lo fi melodies make this a real cracker

fumalab is here, a new special venture, a real laboratory for all things more musical, slightly different and off the beaten paths, a playground for all expecting more from their music but plain 1 minute usability. starting with three autotune tracks that are >classic< in the true sense of the word. check alone side a >influensa< a chuggling superdubby almost detroit deep house like bummer of the highest calibre. influensa flows non stop, full of warmth, high sound presence and with an unmistakable feel for groove, rhythm and structure.wicked, eruptive, intense and here to stay. we easily grant you a patent for these recipes mr. laboratory engineer! more please

this dry, cold-processed stomper from jack rock shoots like a rocket out of nowhere. with a bass drum that reminds of stakes installed in the swampland and a mysterious melody, he once again presents himself as the connoisseur of delicate club dramaturgy and jack really knows how to conquer the hearts of both, the dj and the crowd.his stumbling funk finds its equivalence in dandy jack s staccato rush whose congenial remix shows a higher concentration, but is still full of catchiness and deepness driven by a real conviction. this must-have ep offers a really wonderful ground contact and represents the continuation of a unique label policy: young, but characterised by deep wisdom, knowledge that can only be found in the dark labyrinths of the club where we love to get lost over and over again...played by john acquaviva, dinky, toni rios

in 2005 estroe had her debut on less is more recordings, and several stunning releases and remixes on bio elements, 7th sign, magneton, eevolute etc. followed. for connaisseur, estroe has contributed a real pearl of detroit-influenced timeless techno music.. jamie jones pacific mix dresses >driven< into a more deep house-oriented motorcity outfit.

tekel and tim paris serve up a truly satisfying delicacy for your taste, >sakapuce< is a brutaly stomping piece of modern, sinister acid with big bollocks, crushing beats and a real crazy piano melody. yet this is almost a nursery rhyme compared to the tekel noise feast on the flipside. >pompier bon oieul< is a radical electro rocker with multiple stratas of ear-shattering distortions

hot rnb / hip hop feat pharrell, jazze pha & snoop !

on >pause< a rich, analogue lead line underpins the whole groove, slowly evolving, flitting between octaves and driving the track forward. at only 122bpm there is real feeling of space, allowing the carefully balanced drums and highly detailed percussive loops to add urgency and detail. soulful yet haunting chords are worked into the arrangement, intertwining with the lead line to reach a sweaty, euphoric peak. isolée deconstructs wills chords, initially only using two from the full sequence, allowing him the musical freedom to switch effortlessly from lush melodic pads to acid laced stabs. isolees unparalleled attention to detail creates a slow burning and truly hypnotic deep house groove that is as much for the head as it is for the feet

groovy releaxed house tracks ... very deep and smooth real touch of the 90ties

real cool funky & groovy techno & hardtechno. feat past master dj rush, who did a great >chicago soul mix< of >my bitch<. the ep has 3 more brill tracks

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. 2 great new mixes by systematics marc romboy and phonogenic

lophi is the combination of loth de luca & philip flindt, they met eachother at a n.y.e party in 2001. they quickly found out that they shared the same passion for dirty electronic music. the sound that makes up the rather unique lophi sound, is a mixture of de lucas long lasting love affair with the darker and more minimal beat. combined with flindts flair for dancefriendly music and his craving for the melodic themes, you are left with pure audio eargasms

phreaky minimal bassy monster! growing up in a small town in southern germany, joachim landesvatter s main musical influences came via his older brothers in the form of bands like zz top, lynyrd skynyrd and uriah heep. these narrow boundaries could not contain his ever-evolving tastes, however. he soon found himself enthralled by german acts bap, die rodgau monotones and the scorpions, to name a few. the real turning point came in 1991 when he discovered the techno music being played by local djs in the small, rural clubs in and around his hometown. using techno as a springboard, he jumped ever-deeper into the quickly evolving experimental electronic scene and all of its various permutations

despite of the untrendy moment for breakbeat, italy and mantra breaks remain steady purveyors of quality beats, new talents, and dirty club fun. mowgli comes from belluno but lives and regularly spin fresh beats in bologna. after a few drum & bass productions mowgli moved to breakbeats and hip hop influenced house beats that really work on the dancefloor!the debut on mantra breaks, just be and mowgli comes to town, can be described as the italian answer to the dirty sound switch/jesse rose/solid groove developed in the last months, they fit into breaks but they are not real breaks

with 3 stomping remixes of tracks from the original atomic jam e.p, provided by legendary space djz producer ben long, chicagos dj urban, and frankfurts wj henze, and a brand new track from messrs fenton & body entitled >the que club< (homage to one of atomic jams former venues), primate fans are in for a real treat with this release

three tracks that look straight to the dancefloor and shout out loud: fight for your right to party! pablo clearly reveals that he is up to pushing grooves, provocative tunes and approves the more functional gangue of karmarouge noir. pablo akaros distances himself from contemporary explicit minimal techno by adding some real dirdy sound elements always well touched with a pinch of vodoo. the a-side track >konnekt köln< is an euphoric rave track wich is characterized by a sophisticated sound architecture of lovingly selected rough and disturbing elements. hands up. >pestana pegada< on the flip side is dark but funky

support by chloe & jennifer cardini !! actually, a tragic fact that the two label owners of sub static never enriched the own catalogue with a cooperation, but then again, there was no time, passion, and maybe also the right tracks hadn t come yet. now we found them, the ideal components, and thus this split- ep succeeds to involve both sides of the same medallion in an extremely animated conversation, which also the party benefits from. a real brocksieper starts off the record, with that slinky, permanent groove which everyone likes to ride on, as it s making you look well on the floors which signify the world. then the flipside laxly continues where just hopped, speak: a little bell rings, the beats pose, the shiny side always in the floodlight. however, the mood changes - functionality mutates to emotiveness, the music floats differently. this can only be m.i.a., who still disassembles sounds with never known precision, gets ideas in order, simply generates funk. so the tone is given for the next techno season, thanks for that

dark new-wave electro tracks by rude 66 and beta evers both strongly influenced by adult. on the flip side there is an surprising uptempo techno track by cosmic force. this is a track which will kill it in the clubs for sure! three great tracks taken from the very interesting tribute to robert moog cd. only limited available on vinyl

ireland s legendary fish go deep duo team with the unique soulful singer songwriter mary cigarettes for this killer two-track vocal release >chemical god.< don t be fooled by the name - mary is a guy with a rugged, scratchy flow that reallyshines through on the main mix, highlighted by the tight percussion and key stabs of the track. definitely an appealing vocal for the ben watt and buzzin fly heads. on the flip the dub strips things down nicely with some disco strings and a tight hypnotic groove. not your usual generic house musicmessage but a real powerful song. great stuff on this one

funky breaks with stefan anion remix

raise your voice features the vocal talent of one juan wells. the production skill set of jaimy is outstanding. it has a kick drumthat isnt stale, a growling bassline and some percussion in the high end that shows some real emotion. tcks remix brings amazingelements to the table! the song really breathes life into itself when it comes out of the break

one of the biggest tracks from 2006 getting a fresh set of remixs courtesy of some serious chicago house all stars. green velvet s -shake and pop- blew up dancefloors worldwide with its cool vocals, and now this ep features some real funky dancefloor pleasers. mark grant sets it off with a vocal and dub mix that highlight the vocal and the quirky electro bass funk from the original. meanwhile the big poppa dj sneak turns in a jacked up mix that focuses nicely on the vocal from the original. some very hot dancefloor material, don t sleep on this one

stay around was supposed to be the follow up single of let the sun shine .unfortunately,it wasn t more than a supporting role beside the strongest milk & sugar track ever.but sometimes a good song is like a good wine it may take some time until its real quality is revealed.after erick morillo was hammering stay around as the opening anthem of his 2005 pacha ibiza sets,everybody recognized that time had come now. this limited spain pressing contains mixes from the superstars dj delicious & till west, eddie thoneick and milk & sugar original 2006 mix

woody mcbride has been makimg superb pioneering techno for many years now under many different guises including dj esp and this release is another real cracker. it is brought to us by american label - wreckless recordings. the 4 tracks themselves are an excellent wide ranging bunch from the menacing deep a1 cut stop to the dark and eerie b2 that is egocide

hot on the heels of the prins thomas mixes come these wigged out house versions from parisian franck roger, plus the original and legendary >la stache< mix. franck roger is carving out a great reputation on the house scene at the moment, his releases on his own real tone records have set the benchmark for other productions on sonar kollektiv/innervisions, seasons recordings and kenlou records, as well as remixes of blaze, roy ayers and jazztronic. franck opts for a sophisticated house rework of >moustache<, its techy moments peeking in and out of the rattling percussion, with oodles of funk layered on top. the >la stache< original mix from blackjoy is included on this release also, a huge underground cut with the nu-disco/balearic/cosmic crowd on its first release on bob sinclar s yellow label last year, and still sounding just as vital today

played by: ricardo villalobos, luciano, magda, dan curtin, zip,.. its been a great year soo far for the talented mr. haze, as he continues to push the boundries of electronic dance music. this record is a clear cut example of why things started to get real, real hot all of a sudden. with this special release, jay s first release on the label he started 7 years ago - jay translates what it is like to be >big pimping< in berlin, germany. jay moved to the electronic music mecca just 3 years ago and has steadily advanced through one of the most competitive market places with lightining speed. so in some sense this record >berlin pimping part2< is another fond dedication record to the city which provides soo much for jay. (the first was jay s record on german label musik krause >berlin pimpin/love affair<)

the sweetversion of let’s get down is based on a basic spanish guitarmelody with uplifting vocals and funky hihats. the funky guitar even gets a little outof tone sometimes, to give that real 12 inch feeling to it. the low bassline combined with the stabbing kick delivers a groovy summerfeeling to the track.the original mix is a powerful clubrecord with an electro twist. especially the fatchunky bassline puts the dance floor to work.the groove remix started out as a experimental version of lets getdown but the vocals were so catchy, playectra decided to produce a more groovy version of it. the rawsounding guitar and crushedhihats makes the track loose his sweetness to give the track a stronger and energetic feel. the long break in the middle of the track pushes the track to a climax. the filtered guitars and loud bassline makes the track a little bit french sounding
