big with: onur Özer, gregor tresher, davide squillace, d julz, josh wink, laurent garnier, john selway, bart skills, santi xpansul,.. step into the alley, into the groove. into the urban breeze and family hospitality of easy street! without using too many sounds or rhythms in the main track >ad hoc<, van rivers creates a warm, full sound spectrum, with a variety of angles. as daytime turns into nighttime this urban story continues. >slow sails is basically a tool that keeps on building from start to end, with focus on a wave-sounding reverb<, van rivers explains. and as twilight enters, >dusty leaves< turns this street scene upside down with its walking rhythm and spooky sounds. we are the spectators of an act in the vein of michael jacksons >thriller< epic. this release with van rivers really shows the variety of his sound from beginning to end! a powerful record for the floor that plays as well at home too

saulted is a big bad bruising wobbling b line mother of a tune, that absolutely rocks a dancefloor, we cant wait for you to hear this one. side b sees rob reng do his excellent work on remix duties, bringing it more to the mainstream clubber, really nice production but keeping the grit of the original.

a fascinating delve into the bizarre and brilliant world of jeremiah yisrael and the disco funk treasures of tap records. i ll let it rot before i let them take my shit. – jeremiah yisrael forty seven tapes, reams of sheet music, copyright forms, membership applications for the brotherhood of wisdom, two flaking acetates, three moldy 12inch singles, and a script for the still unfilmed motion picture angel dust. we stuffed it all into four supermarket fruit boxes, jammed them in the back of a rented chrysler town & country, and tore ass out of nathaniel jeremiah ben yisraels driveway, making a getaway that simultaneously spit us right back at the most bizarre recorded mystery we d ev

new, fresh minimal label from belgium with an very interesting and complete sounding release from pkiss incl. a really well done remix from berlin minimal hero david keno

support comes from hosh, karotte, dave dk, tom clark, jamie jones, sasse and many more.. it’s been a while since james flavour released his last full artist single ! after numerous releases for labels like highgrade, brique rouge and other remix dutys on his own labels plus the work on dirt crew’s last album the bavarian native, residing in berlin for 14 years now, really took his time to bring you these three full on club tracks. taking a different approach to his sound we know from his last two singles on dirt crew recordings, the idea was to create a more reduced minimal groove with dubby influences as they can only be delivered from berlin city.

more dark and moody madness from matt b. bushwacka’s stunning production mastery really shines through here as two versions, each with a slightly different twist take effect. the a side, >every dog has its day< shuns the current trends and stands alone like a lonely child at playtime. heavy hammer blow bass and resonating glitches that will stand the test of time. the drum mix takes you on a different tour of the dancefloor and drops you right in front of the dj booth.

tip !! played by ripperton, agnes, quenum, chaton, crowdpleaser. we are really proud that ali joins the plak family. he’s from istanbul and got a very unique feeling for deep stuff. 2 endless tracks, nearly 24 minutes, of reduced head-y house, roots percussions, jackin’ hihats and cut-up vocals. add a trumpet lead and traditional turkish music on background and dive into ali’ world

jesse siminski is one of those musicians its impossible to ignore. whether producing as heartthrob or alter-alter ego vivianne projects his work is instinctive, insightful and driven by an irresistible force that instantly rubs off on the audience. its no surprise then that the first single to be lifted from heartthrobs eagerly awaited debut album >dear painter, paint me< is >signs<, a track that fully demonstrates the extent of his repertoire. one of the highlights of his not-to-miss live set, its also become a corner stone of richie hawtins dj sets over the last few months due to the massive crowd response it generates whenever it drops. billed as homage to classic detroit techno, theres a real air of expectancy about the mix friendly introduction. the powerful kick pattern, swirling sci-fi vocal efx and loose hi hat groove soon make way for the urgent, cavorting main melody that spins off into another dimension before a massive, resonating synthetic bass wipes out everything in its path. one of the main ideas running through the album is the juxtaposition and layering of different rhythms and time signatures and this really comes across on signs, with disco and caribbean inflections adding a cut and thrust to the chugging groove, creating the perfect foil to the sonic mayhem overhead. the b-side features apprentice – a tag heartthrob can safely leave behind with the release of >dear painter, paint me<. of course its another guaranteed floor filler with a finely honed acidic riff that immediately taps into the subconscious...

million dan is the man of the moment. with his killer album on the streets he is quite rightly regarded as the top uk mc right now. this little 7 inch is not as cheeky as it sounds. sam webster (aka sloth from headcount records) was working on some admin with the million dappa records team and when he heard the scream out original track he was really into it, but felt it could do with a re-rub that brought the energy out of million dans vocal delivery.

played by richie hawtin !! massive percusvie hypnotical techno tracks by italian talent alessio mereu

for this second 10inch limited edition, we re really proud to present dj kaos and mvdr artwork on astro lab recordings, after many collaboration with warp, kitsune, dc recordings, dfa, and remixes for rub n tug, roxy music and more, kaos delivered here 2 amazing tracks.. the a side is more an uptempo and disco affair, the b side is 8 minutes long with some amazing strings voices, only for open minded djs

ornaments wants to publish special collectors items in a strong limited >>vinyl only<< series with a really personal vibe. the first record is from marko fürstenberg (a.r.t.less / thinner) and he presents 3 unpublished remixes of nice dubby soundtracks for the 21 century which are perfect for the open air season. be fast!!! only a few hundred copies

superb debut release of a new new deep house imprint outta detroit. 1st release comes from delano smith (detroit beatdown fame) in a really cool crispy d-town deep house style. if you like harmonie park & moodymann u will jump on this!!!!!

after the amazing 2084/ultra ep on music man last year, we are very proud to present a new redshape record to you guys! both robot and neon are two amazing gems in his own original style. not to miss!!! feedback: adam beyer: love robot, sounds exellent! really current in an old fashioned way!

really hot electro remixes by designer drugs, kilroy, benny brows, turbo station, squid, crimp your hair and mike robinson

after releases from heavy hitters such as two armadillos, solomun and andomat3000 the mantle now falls to new boy class71 with his double a-side >seaphone/diamond door<. well, it would do if he was really the new boy, but he s not. in fact, this new artist is an alias of italian producer santos, who has pretty much done it all in house, techno and every other genre we could lazily list. rounding things off with a respectful nod to classic techno via moody stabs, lazy melodies and an airtight arrangement in the form of >diamond door<, it seems like class71 is a bit of a name to watch. don t take our word for it though, ame, sasse, djinxx and agnes are already backing this winner.

positiver, hypnotischer & housiger minimal-techno der so minimal gar nicht ist. wir möchten luciano (cadenza) zitieren, der sagte: >it s really good ive been digging the track on the weekend , its the bomb and make people smile and dream about a new story.< dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen

the second release on this imprint of stephane signore is a three tracker one which stephane drops a track called >hysteria<, samuel sanders drops a track called >carnage< and stephane remixes his very own >hysteria<. all of them are really pumping and edgy techno tracks, created to rock dancefloors. as stephane signore released many records on big labels the past year, with this release he proves once again why...

playlist of: luciano, ricardo, magda, serafin, loco dice, karotte, anja schneider, matthias tanzmann, paco osuna..... the uprising hero on momentum with his follow up on trapizator, which was his debut on vinyl and sold out within days! now he joins forces with another, really highly acclaimed guy from the rhein-main-area: matts star is the guy to deliver a remix-bomb as expected. this release is going to be played by everyone, so no need to mention names.

the deep and powerful track voyager and really gets of on b1 with minimax 1. minimax 2 takes the pace even higher with punchy snare beats and spaced-out effects. every one of these tracks is ideal for the dance-floor and will work well in a party set: just what you need to get the crowd jumping

after the success of the last drumpoet community remixes 12inch for jamie lloyd, australian label future classic returns with another selection for djs in tune with the deep end of the dancefloor. westpark unit (herb lf and ingo sänger) are the founders of the excellent farside imprint from dortmund germany. in addition to their farside releases including 2007 hit >jeepah<, westpark unit have contributed productions to top imprints such as dessous, stir 15 and stormed playlists of steve bug, djinxx and rocco to name a few. hooking up with future classic in cologne in 2007 the bond was cemented, with the >bar of choice< ep further building westpark units reputation for extremely deep, highly playable and musical productions already in the playlists of jimpster, Âme, motorcity soul, lars behrenroth and the warm hq in london. jimpster (freerange): new future classic is awesome mate!! need to play it out!! Âme (innervisions): really like it! c-rock (motorcitysoul / cocoon): wicked ep! directly in my set erik (giant step): i’m really feeling the bar of choice ep (will definitely add to my personal chart for the coming month)… >bad weeds grow tall< and >goin steady< are my favs!! ric mcclelland (urbantorque): bad weeds no. 2 in chart asli (farside / thugfucker): brilliant stuff! lars behrenroth: would fit perfectly in my set

p series is back to do what it does best: drop wicked remixes of great tunes from the past! this time on the a-side amererej and on the b-side silverscreen. both worked really well to make dancefloors go wild again !!

somewhere between peaches and metro area this is a really cool record that is super lo fi. nice disco claps and trippy guitar with cowbells. the vocal is very rock, screeching mid way through. flipping over its very electro and minimal with the vocal going spoken word about hits of the 80s. fans of all the current electro clash biz, will totally be feeling this.

us mc cadence weapon delivers a hot electro hip hop/dubstep blend for fans of spank rock, dizzie rascal or lady sovereign.

for this 3rd release, we give you the opportunity to grab 3 fantastic trax once again. first, video club lost time a pure cosmic italo disco gem, a track very very rare to find and sought after in its full instrumental version, still easy to drop in any dj set today. 2nd, automat droid an amazing dance electro breakbeat track done in 1978!!! obviously you wont find it anywhere else, available only on cosmic club. this has been a must for all the cbs & i f fans who really know their job and what they re talking about!! 3rd, decadance on & on (fears keep on) also in its full instrumental version, originally released on proto records (!), this is funny as this track is obvisouly so proto new wave/electro/cosmic/italo.

dj plays - nic fanciulli, joel mull, paolo mojo, mark knight, mark brown, steve mac and spencer parker how pretentious is a peak time monster of a techno track, having been cained now by dubfire, nic fanciulli, joel mull, paolo mojo and then crossing over to mark knight, mark brown, steve mac and spencer parker. vertigo has received equal support and is just as big, there really is no letting up with this ep, great melodies in vertigo and relentless carnage from how pretentious

welcome to the deepest nightmare of pulshar, welcome to nospheratus territory. an unforgettable trip into the darkest side of the bands soul, inspired by the cult movie nospheratu, this is one of the greatest dub and melancholic tracks of the year. a trippy bass and envolving melodies for an instant bloody dub joy. rod modell and steven hitchell take the controls on the b side and produce one of their best reworks yet under their echospace alias. they have reduced the original track to a deep and emotional piece. a majestic cavalcade into dub techno, a composition full of rich textures which remind of a cloudy day in detroit city, accompanied by a subtle conga that kicks off from the middle of nowhere and turns out really smooth, deep & dark. a little different than the material from their album on modern love, more reduced into the deepchord sound, a little more scaled back

crunchy breaks remake of the kinks >you really got me<

two really amazing techouse tracks from rough jam jr. hit the streets with the first release on manuell, the label for handmade music. melodious synthlines with strong pushing bassdrums in combination with housy grooves - this is a definition of techhouse in 2008

charles websters furry phreaks hook up with vocalist terra diva on a track signed by defected last year. the delay in release is due to the frankly staggering scope of remixes commissioned - there are too many to describe them all although highlights include the sublime version remix, the three pastaboys efforts and the quirky atjazz dub. the superb vocal takes the lead on most of the mixes and there really is something here to cater for all tastes.

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

tom stephans chumbomundo label is proud to announce a new series of eps highlighting hot new artists in scene: headztom really felt that he needed to give new artist a break on his label, as he receives so many cool tracks, whilst playing abroad. ep 1 has a true international feel with artists from the usa, italy, uk and the netherlands, covering tribal, twisted, prog and electro grooves.

>ohhhh this is nice!< shit robot (dfa) >j adore that thing!< joakim (tigersushi) >very good edits< jerry bouthier (boombox) >really enjoying them. definitely want to play them of my radio show< tim sweeney (beats in space) >many thanks for these, all of them are fantastic.. groove me have been fave of mine for yonks..< pete herbert >i really like -that thing- and -my time- your time< nico de céglia >these edits are really great< matt walsh (turbo rec) >straight shooter is hot< jacques renault (runaway) >thanks for these edits< andreas leander (24hours blog) >those 3 edits are great especially the groove me edit which is a great favourite track of mine< alex from tokyo > love the edits but my fave of cosmo is still that pete shelley one!< roy dank (xlr8r) >great stuff!< dj morpheus >these edits rock !!! will play all three of them, this is just what i need in my sets! merci beaucoup cosmo< yannick labbé (tricski)

jon gurd is back on a solo project, with the usual jon gurd style of using old school rave sounds with a tech and groovy combination that works well on the cooler dancefloors. tom neville - really good stuff. im playing both tracks but grass rots is probably my favourite. thanks slam! co / orde meikle: grass roots – very glichisco – quite intense, the chimes – love the groove – old skool stabs are nice kos: i am really into the chimes record. solid track and i love the old skool riff. definitely gonna play. james talk: the chimes is class mate, big room action

although only 23 years of age englishmen cris barratt is already considered one of the hottest new producers on the block. what makes him really special is his unique blend of sounds, which is not melodic house, minimal, tribal, rock electro or techno, but at the same time it is all of that. two tracks on this ep are the best reflection of chris >get maximal< approach: he builds the story slowly, upgrades the basic theme bit by bit, then weaves in another leading theme and spices the blend with unexpected small but effective element from the late 90s. the result of this blending is very rich, warm sound, perfect for the parties somewhere at the seaside. re-release

guesthouse is proud to announce its 25th release from one of the most influential dj/producers in the world: the one and only dj sneak! pulling out all the stops, sneak delivers another surefire dancefloor groover inspired by some classic chicagosounding samples delivering the notorious sneak sound and jackin sneak beats we have all come to know and love over the years: this one is a winner, and of course.... dont sleep

incl 3channels & samim rmxs, his name is pier paolo bucci and with releases on crosstown rebels and cadenza pier has shown us what ambitious and intelligent tech house really is. his greatest success so far is without any doubt >hay consuelo<, pier has released one year ago on his mother label >crosstown rebels<. now it is time for a re-release of the legendary samim remix plus a stunning new interpretation of nobody else than dirty birds shooting stars 3 channels from poland. we say: >the summer can start now!<

after the huge >score for direction< success with label owner pär grindvik stockholm ltd presents a new swedish talent for the world. simon haydo is a really close friend of pär grindvik and the stockholm ltd family. for several years, simon has been playing records among the high end clubs in his hometown of stockholm, sweden. a while ago he finally got himself some studio equipment and has been asking for production tips from time to time, but when we received his demo we realized that he didnt really needed them. simon knocked us right out of our chairs! we rarely get demos this emotional and we didnt know that simon would pass us one as we had not heard a bleep of his music until that day. most of the demos you get are from people trying to sound like someone else, but simon has a sound of his own. we are really proud to have simon haydo joining the label and his first record >different shades of white< will follow us forever! >different shades of white< has got great support all over the world and will be released on stockholm ltd, watch out!

belgian artist ludwig buez who has worked a long time under the soul preachers nickname is really happy to introduce komplement recordings, his fresh new electro minimal label. for the first release & asked french duo ginos & snake to remix his original track. on the a side, you ll find the original hypnotik electro track called cirkus. dark psychotic synth & great killer break gives to this track all the power & the emotion needed for massive crowd reaction. the remix from ginos & snake is a perfect exemple of how good these 2 guys can work with their gears! they did a more progressive construction, added raw synths & worked the main melody through special effects!

after his successful release on boxer we are really happy to see ron flatter back on karateklub! his last release on this label got huge support from many top dj’s like felix da housecat and james holden. now the pm-music-labelboss strikes back with zicada! three powerfull tracks wich are very functional on the dancefloor.

the a side kicks off with the highly anticipated release of party all night from french producers bobby and klein, chanting we gonna party all night over an infectious groove that kicks things off proper! the a2 follows party all night with nashvilles real time hand motion hitting us with their amazing honey tune. all the trademark rthm cuts, edits, and vocal bits come together to deliver a funky analog bassline jam with a really unique dancefloor jam. on the flip, mebourne, australias d t3ch turns in the gorgeously funky meerkat music, a tune thats been killing danceloors and a vocal that puts a smile on everybodys face. not to be missed! and last but not least, label bosses the sound republic deliver a tongue in cheek tribute to jason hodges with a chopped up tracky jam that jacks through rolling pianos, xylophopne backed with a bass bit that is humanly impossible not to dance to. all in all, the 4 piece set ep is kicking off the new year in style!

glory opens with a dramatic intro of sampled, filtered horns ? dug from the crates old school style ? then, all of a sudden... the ambush! in comes a simple but rolling half step rhythm, soon charged with pounding subs. juakalis vocals flow over in perfect unison with the beats ? hes really on form here!

a classic bit of space disco from the french scene of the 70s. four long tracks that are all pretty darn moogy, and pretty darn great! the work here would fit nicely with some of the best keyboard heavy club of the us scene at the time! not exactly like some of the work on p&p, or the grooves of el coco over at avi - but not that dissimilar either, and often put together with a spare, simple approach thats a welcome contrast from overblown disco of the time! most numbers build up from a funky bassline and beats - adding in the keyboards with great relish, and really letting them jam and get crazy over the top. theres certainly a bit of cosmic fusion going on here too

lingo recordings back in action after a 7 month hiatus, but boy was it worth the wait… slum sciences danny white turns into two wicked cut that are on the deeper side of the house spectrum, yet still have plenty of jack to work any prime-time dancefloor. >she likes it< features a full on underground groove that reminds us of hodges material. >absense< is a touch deeper and features some really cool filtered string samples - hot! remixes come courtesy of jt donaldson (aka mr can-do-no-wrong) who delivers a slammin deep soulful, musical outing that is perfect end of the night stuff, and nu-jack dudes rthm who twist and turn the track into a funky jacker. this ep is no joke folks, a smoking release that has a little something for everyone

incl jussi pekka remix !! p.a.l. is focused in producing really hot stuff halfway between techhouse and electro

supported by chris fortier, dave shokh, lars sommerfeld, laurent garnier, terje bakke. after releases on was kids and lordag, karateklub-labelboss oscar is back with this hot record on his own imprint. with the first part of the fresh-kicks series you will find a great mixture between detroit, house and minimal. check out both sides - really fresh kicks!

the kazey & bulldog picture disc is followed by the first d2s release from our hero rod lee - a baltimore legend in his own right and in our eyes the no. 1 club producer, bar none. this super aggro dude has serious issues. he just needs to open his mouth and kids cry flames. for his first d2s release, rod commits re-mastered versions of two of our favourite cuts produced by the man. we first heard >understand< when we scored a bunch of scottie bs ebay auctions, and to this day its one of the best baltimore tracks ive ever heard. you can play this sh*t anywhere and the crowd just freaks out. hip hop heads love it, techno heads love it, even your girlfriend loves it. we coupled it with rods simple but ultra effective remix of the eurythmics classic, >sweet dreams<. when the catch an attitude tour dropped in on our club in glasgow, a-trak dropped this beast for all of 30 seconds and people went nuts. bannanas even. you could argue that the eurythmics remix thing is overdone and outdated, but if you did so, wed know for sure you hadnt heard rods version. anyway... we tracked it down and got it on the flip, so really this is more like a double a. both cuts are re-mastered (but still raw like the day they were made) and cut loud on heavy 12inch vinyl

the first in a two-part sampler series from the sound republics highly respected chicago-based spatulacity. the a-side kicks off with a funky-as-hell piano jam by hollands tommy largo with a killer bass groove that is certain to get dancefloors whipped in to a frenzy, and the a2 delivers just as well. >barnyard announcement< by melbourne, australias house prodigies lamanex is a pumping, funny tongue-in-cheek jacker that bounces relentlessly and has been drawing incredible reactions from dancefloors worldwide! flip the record over and check chicago newcomers scrubfish laurences >disco papacy< cut for maximum booty-swhaking satsfaction! this track has it all: interesting drum breaks and super-crisp beats, chopped-up instrumental bits that kick the energy up further, and an unforgettable vocal. last but not least the uks sound diggers turn in a fantastic deep-but-still-jackin tune that really rounds the record out with the funky horn and guitar bits sitting on top of a great groove.

big with adam beyer, dubfire, len faki !! through his raudive alias oliver ho has caused a very serious stir over the last few months. he has released some seriosuly heavyweight material on labels such as music man, poker flat, klang, we are and podium as well as some killer remixes for the likes of figure and pocket . he really is one of the producers of the moment and this amazing 2 tracker for the leviathon that is drumcode will further cement that solid reputation.
