luv005 already and no doubt another classy four tracker that will top a few sales charts in the coming weeks and months. it has been a wonderful summer for the luv shack crew with every release bettering the last. the response and reaction to the new label has been astounding and beyond a pleasant surprise. with intelligent dance music such as this, it really shouldnt be such a surprise, but in a world of mass mediocre music, it does happen more often than not, that the good stuff doesnt always find its way. the guys though have found a place in a lot of hearts and quite a few tasty dj sets and record boxes with four very consistent releases. so, here we go with what is yet another worthy addition to any half decent djs repertoire me thinks. and it is lee stevens who teams up with local friends to deliver a very crafted set of aural niceness for your distinguished pleasure.

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth aren’t in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben valløe in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and valløe and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

fuselabs first physical release – a vinyl 12 inch lp of russian/norwegian band onego. onego is igor bogdanov, victor shubin (both from russia), bernt simen lund and gudmund ostgard (both from norway). these guys met together to bring this finest electronica album with natural slavic and nordic touch. and that is what >bukhanka dreams< really is: a thick sonic universe of glitchy rhythms, deep ambience and truly authentic melodies. not just a fast-produced snack you know.

the gold spiders project is a breath of fresh air on the russian deep house scene. those guys indeed know what harmony and lyrics are, and, nevertheless, what is instrumental fulfillment of a good composition. with a great deal of impatience we want to share with you things that really excite us, things that make us admire. we are truly glad having you as an owner of this vinyl. we hope that you will enjoy the whole color range of emotions that were put into this release.just turn it on!

new on vinyl but not even new to the market. with more than 1 million clicks on all their great videos on youtube, uwe and andre alias einsauszwei are going to paint the town red. jeahmon! says hi and welcome to the groovy guys from dresden/ger. really curious, sasch bbc & caspar (brise rec.) put their fingers between some feet!!! well, you better check that yourself. the fish only tells, bubble, bubble, blubb-blubb-blubb! big with gel abril, marco carola, markus kavka, super flu, monika kruse, nic fanciulli, beatamines, david jach, dema, blond:ish

this is the 4th black catalogue release. >through the galaxies< was originally released on the modern underground music sampler. this version is a full release with some great remixes by both lucy from stroboscopic and shigeto from ghostly. these mixes are fantastic, and really show a nice array of sounds. i decided to add a dub version inna future reggae stylee, too. i hope you enjoy it! - monty luke

usually, the purpose of a piece like this is to tell other writers, music mag editors, distribution people and record shop clerks why they should like a certain release and buy, hype, review it. often these encomiums are not really honest and sometimes you even feel like attending an attempt to sell a flat tire. as for i:cubes new longplayer m megamix things are – of course! – very different. being its fifth solo album, an introduction of a man like nicolas chaix or even his biography (another popular brick of sales sheets) seems rather unsuitable. if you dont know what you should know, just use your internet search engine with any of these terms: chateau flight, versatile records, french touch, disco cubizm or parisian prodigy.

enigma dubz is consistently tearing up dancefloors worldwide, this time round he teases us with a medley of deep garage tracks. enigma dubz really steps into his own with this ep, creating a solid ambience between all 3 tracks fusing deep basslines with two-step beats. all 3 tracks are heavily influenced by ukg which all show tones of enigma dubz influences from the likes of mj cole right through to nice n ripe. while their remix of jessie ware continues to tear up the worldwide scene, disclosure entice us with two silky and lucid house cuts that don t fall anywhere short from being timeless - brilliant stuff from the youngsters du jour, once again.

2400 operator are daniel and troels, a danish house duo who kick out deeply affecting, motor city-inspired jams for the body, the mind and the soul. this is house music in its purest form, but then again not really. theres always an element of surprise.

cazumas yume is a delicately balanced trip, from a broke, raw groove towards the light. striving upwards all the way, higher through beautifully orchestrated pads, strings and chants. if you flip the record, you will find envie by mr raoul k. if you know raouls sound, you would probably find this one to be on the clubbier tip. bulding from a groove of raouls patented percussive arrangement comes an electronic sandstorm, from tiny stabs through a full on and freaked out break where the mighty beat is totally lost. and then back at it! this is really one of those tracks that you cant help yourself from playing whenever control is lost on the dancefloor, a gateway to the crowds inner animal.

gangsigns take their time – a relaxed attitude some might say – but thats only because they feel the music they release is timeless so theres really no rush is there?

bastille days is heavy rolling stuff. its earth-moving kick drum impresses, but its the trademark technasia synth that really takes the track to another level. this is after all the soundtrack to a revolution. the beats remain heavy on the flip, sunkiss and belying its name, the track rolls out its tribal drums and crashing hats. perfect for the summer floors. enjoy!

as re-mixers, they have already made two fine contributions to schallbox-releases, now they finally get their own track on the swiss label. 12 most definetly belongs to the smalltown collective!
the name of the track is tiefblau and it speaks for itself: you are transported by a pushing, bass-generated pressure capsule down along a hypnotic groove line and into a deep blue ocean. the smalltown collective really exploit the merits of the acoustic stage here, pulling together a compelling and diverse set of notes and tones carefully arranged to amount to a track you just cant shake.
in his interpretation, dj le roi stays true and to the deepest blue dive atmosphere of tiefblau, yet manages to make it completely his own. unmistakably tieflblau, unmistakably le roi.
the page logo belongs to berlin-based producer david keno, whos signature lies in lacing floor-oriented beats with a distinct melodic aspect. with his unique and secret recipe, keno tweaks/ treats this track as he does with so many stomping house tracks with a laid-back vibe. guaranteed to work on any dance floor in the world!

fenou no.17 is the first collaboration of powel & lake people aka lake powel. this wonderful symbiosis created two really charming tracks. with its melodious feel of late summer atmosphere these tracks exude charm to unwind and relax, just right for this time of year.

edits of selections from the minimal wave tapes. originally recorded between 1981 and 1985, the versions presented here were created by j.rocc in 2012.

as a follow up to the last years >radio anatomy< we are excited to present the >last day here ep< by brioski. it is a stellar effort from the talented italian and we are all feeling that he has really come into his own with this one. brioskis inspiration spans hiphop, funk, soul, disco, chicago house & techno, edging towards balearic / psychedelic atmospheres with deep percussive roots and old-school tendencies. combine this with some italian originality and a love for vintage gear and you are halfway there.

frucht - only deals with fresh fruits. the berlin label decided to start the 12inch series with 3 remix compilations to give an overview of the labelsound. somewhere between minimal, techno and tech house but always with a club aspiration fruchts >aprikose< is more than a dynamic and powerful dance floor killer: heavy drums, groovy basslines and twisted vocals are perfect for bright open airs as well as for dimmed clubs. labelhead coeter one and his mexican partner splatter are not releasing a specific genre - but smart productions really have to rock the body and soul by the use of outstanding sound-selections and brilliant arrangements. this is what we call >fruity<. are you ready for an exciting future with frucht label?

the byrds were one of the earliest groups who could combine the best of two worlds. they caught on to the energy of the british invasion and combined it with the lyricism & musical elements of the contemporary folk movement. along the way they pioneered psychedelic and country rock, always keeping things recognizable with their vocal harmonies accompanied by their jangly guitars. their 1965 debut mr. tambourine man hit the flower generation like a bombshell. >one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock<, it melds their lyrical prowess with their compelling guitar riffs, and was the blueprint for their future sound. a classic, now back on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!

der garten gardening is better than sport. a garden is a source of freedom and inspiration. it requires care and devotion, it teaches and its full of surprises. a garden is outside and inside. the modern gardening mix by jörg burger (aka modernist) is a hit in the cologne school tradition. the timmed garden is a short version taken from the album gudrun gut - wildlife, which is coming out in october. 2. the best a cover version which on first glance does nt really fit gudrun gut. its no forgotten pearl, rather more a measure of pop-detergent which through the recontextualisation gets a whole new power. a game of deception which could also be a lovesong to a sweetheart. thomas fehlmann has got all sides covered with two cool and chilled out mixes. the first has a relaxed-bitchy percussion groove, the second with complete lyrics and breath

after two successful vinyl releases by technique & yaroslove (with remixes by alexkid & patrick zigon) and v!ktor & lowris (including remix by chris carrier), russian imprint cooltool records continues its journey with incredibly beautiful single >where do you run to< by talented producer kirill monocle from saint petersburg.
ep includes original track, acapella and remix by really unique project middleyoung — duo of anthony middleton from audiofly and philipp jung from m.a.n.d.y. they joined their forces to make first remix together. and this remix is ace.

for our 69th release rawthentic welcomes desolat bad boy alli borem! over the past couple years alli has released a ton of quality releases on some of most recognized labels around. we are very excited to have him on rawthentic. alli delivers 2 chunky tech house throbbers that will guarantee rock any sound system. on the remix tip we have saved regular dj kool dek. he really takes >the south forest< to another level adding a unique twist. sit back and let this remix take you on a journey. raw!

with another release that is made to be a soundtrack for sunny open air scenarios, acker records keeps living up to its name and pays tribute to the current summer season. in doing so, the label from mecklenburg one more time steps out of the line, since this release again distinguishes itself by a refreshing otherness. light and easy piano plonking as well as the lascivious french voice of singer rebecca dominate the atmosphere of ici, while its minimal electronic groove discreetly remains in the background. a really tropical feeling evolves in the long version of this track when playful synthesiser chords give rise to the idea of a steel drum. in his remix, mollono.bass manages to combine the very song-orientated approach of the original with a bouncy electronic arrangement. thus he not only creates a lot of dance floor thrust, but also provides the perfect link to rather conventional productions.

disconnected sounds drop number four in their series with yet another debut ep. dscntd 004 features three tracks from cyclonix with a remix from the man of the moment ejeca. the contrasting styles from both of these producers provides the variety that we have come to expect from a dscntd release, along with the hand stamped and individually numbered 12 inch records. another brilliant addition to a really interesting catalogue which grows stronger with each release. 300 single pressed, hand stamped & individually numbered records.

the click box sound is almost mathematical in its precision, meaning their first return to minus for a while adds up to something really quite special one again.

adriatique is back with their second release on diynamic. again the two talented producers from switzerland created a really impressive ep that seems to fit just perfect for the upcoming summer! the opening track,deeper love, really sets the direction of the whole ep and will make you fall in love with it! a really nice and warm synthesizer combined with that catchy deeper love vocal and a funky picked guitar makes this tune unique. the second track by your side first of all persuades with that coltish sequenzer baseline. after the first break the tune unfolds its whole power. its again the nice combination of a deep, down pitched vocal, funky bended chords and a great synthie line that works just excellent together. a great one for the dancefloor! with motions, the third and title track of the new ep, adriatique deliver another harmonic tune that goes under the skin. its the slowest track on the ep. massive bass tones, groovy shuffled hihats and a deep, repetetive vocal loop result in a wonderful, warm track. the fourth and last track body moving brings the ep to an good end. with a nice vocoder voice the tune gets a touch of the 80s sound. and again a bouncy baseline delivers this special groove and guarantees to shake the floor.

an absolutely stunning album. its like an electronic emotional version of people like fink or piers faccini. this album is simply superb. vitall laurent garnier, very smooth, lush and deep. excellent, really! michael mayer, after nicolas jaar and pantha du prince, lee burton has brought the romance back into electronic music. a powerful album. raveline: a wonderful album with sophisticated arrangements, which turns out to be a little gem of melancholy and attract not only fans of smart elektronikexkurse, but also connoisseurs of elegant, unique and timeless pop music.partysan.net “une pop avant-gardiste et douce a decouvrir” sciences et avenir.thats part of the reviews lee burton received within the last three months from the press around the globe for his latest album release busy days for fools on klik records. being really ingenious lee burton managed to create a unique output that combines the sound of the german electronica with the greek temperament and the south american laid back feeling.busy days for fools is the stoner side of electronica. on july the 16th klik records present on a limited edition vinyl, pt. 01 of the remix series on original lee burton tracks from the likes of skinnerbox, mr statik, scsi -9 and finally on vinyl, nhars firelfy remix that reached on youtube more than 1.000.000 views so far

audio phreaks new signing archie cane has been causing some seriously big waves on the dubstep circuit of late and when you hear his music, you will understand exactly why. a recent upload from ukf that is a collaboration with dream has really got people talking!here is his first vinyl release to date and boy does it pack a punch! >kill everything< on the a side is a all out, in your face bass monster! gritty and technical low frequencies make up the production with heavy beats slicing through the track. 2 tunes that compliment the release very well. dont miss out, i m like you, very limited press on this one.

the dawn ep is the debut release of markey alias sander markey. who recently settled down in berlin, after he was living and working as dj and producer in gent, belgium. now he comes up with four really playful tracks. here he shows his affection for funky grooves and soulful voices. with support from mz. sunday luv, who gave her voice for a freaky intermezzo on dawn, the ep starts offensively. the repetitive groove and the marching 303 bass drum toped with a dark demanding voice have a mystic massage. as contradiction to it you hear a charming dirty string ensemble and an odd delayed snare crushing the monotony. spring break as well as in the shade, the last made in coop with robyns alias yannick robyns, have definitely the warmer funky attitude. playing around with a bobby mcferrin vocal sample and bringing out the soul. facing the clouds is closing the ep as rather melodic and atmospheric track.

finally its here! moustache is proud to present the superhit memories by alden tyrell featuring the voice of italo - fred ventura. the original version takes you back to 1983 combining rolling basslines and heavy synths with freds outstanding lyrics. this is a true masterpiece which has already been a major hit on the cybernetic broadcasting system. the flipside contains an instrumental version of the original as well as a state of art remix by fred ventura and stefano tirone for state of art 2.0. stefano is the original songwriter from jock hattle and part of flexx when they made the futuro e donna soundtrack. the remix is really easy going and great for lazy sunday afternoons on the couch. cutted by the legendary lex van coeverden. 500 copies only!

vinyl only release !!! >> come on, be honest. you also have been waiting for this. for more than seven years now, the 27-year-old frankfurter chris tietjen stands, like hardly any other dj, with his cocoon mix compilations for the sound of this label. apart from sven väth, maybe.. so, it was really time for tietjen to carve his music-aesthetical biases finally into vinyl, because for the value-oriented and highly dedicated dj, its a matter of honour to release his tracks in the traditional ep format only.

kyle geiger brings you his third installment on his imprint cubera in a quest to bridge some crucial gaps between house and techno constituents. this time, taking it a little deeper with the use of vocal work from vocalist stefanie jansen for the title track scream, weaving her voice in and out of a strong synth and percussion work out. in the second mix of the a-side, truncate lends his tough, stripped style for his remix of >scream<, providing a welcome contrast to the original. on the other side, >underneath< adjusts the eps sweat dial to 11 with its shit-losing, raw synth hook. the fact that this track even has a sweat dial that goes up to 11 should communicate something really special. the final track step brings more of an stabby, yet scaled back afterhours vibe to round things out, while still carrying enough critical mass to make things a little messy.

unusually for a record (for me,at least), constants collects tracks written in four very different moments in time: some are recent - so recent ive only had the opportunity to play them out just a handful of times - while others are over one year old. i really wish the story behind this ep would be a bit more interesting so this text could completely blow your mind but im afraid there were no dragons, no sex, no drugs and definitely no rock n roll involved. all four were mostly produced by me while sipping coffee and wearing boxer shorts in front of a computer. i could somehow try to describe the music on here but it would probably take less for you to give it a listen. however, if you happen to be one of the humans that prefer reading about music. anyway, im really happy to see these finally out, especially on a label i have always looked up to like vakant. i really used to think smoke, kaden and ozer were aliens at some hopefully you will enjoy this music as much as i loved writing and playing it out.

mr.g is back with a deep and soaring release on the monique musique imprint.the distinct g sound really falls in place on this magnificent release which is tightly produced and filled with that analog action. a slice of true house music spread over 3 jams that are heavy, chordy and soaked with tight percussion. definitely one for the true house heads across the globe.

as ajello say:the idea for a cover version of n.o.i.a.s looking for love was born a couple of years ago - an idea of alessandro piatto, younger brother of davide piatto, original member of n.o.i.a. as soon as alessandro proposed it,we asked whether we could have the original tracks but, unfortunately,they have been lost over the years.immediately his brother davide brought together the original lineup of n.o.i.a.and locked them up in the studio to record the voice from scratch and some of the synth parts. our intervention was first on the drums, replacing the original for a more uptempo beat, and then the bassline, shaping it to a more modern sound. the vocals were treated with filters and echoes,and we also added some new guitar parts and synth lines. it was an honour to us, ajello, to bring to light an italo-disco classic that has really influenced us and we have put all our efforts to create a version that is timeless, as much as the original.

rosario born argentinean franco cinelli has been firmly rooted behind the decks since the tender age of 14. drawn by the call of the drums and having researched the creation of music through computers and samplers, the mid 90s saw cinellis first productions taking shape. rapidly becoming a key player on the argentine scene, franco played throughout the country, holding a residency at the prestigious el sotano. his first forays to europe came in 2003, but it was 2005 that his own music really made an impact. having released a handful of releases and mix compilations on smaller labels, it was his picaro ep with bruno pronsato that really brought him to the attention of the music world. since then, franco has gone on to release and remix for a number of established imprints including ilian tape, produkt, claque musique, hello repeat, airdrop , international freakshow, alphahouse and the label of his great friend kasper, esperanza. in 2011 following his critically acclaimed >planet dub< debut ep on bass culture records, franco cinelli finally achieved global recognition with his massive underground remix of cassius >sound of violence< that placed strongly in many of the end-of-year top 10 best remix of 2011 lists. today franco returns to bass culture records for a new take on his trademark deep & techy house with 4 original tracks on the >take me back< ep

it is a bold move to describe someone as the new, male equivalent of the late amy winehouse – but those really are the best words for the motown-revisited sounds of bo saris.
holland-by-way-of-ladbroke grove singer bo saris has made quite the impression in his native netherlands, but wanted a change from being a big fish in a little sea, and is now looking set to break onto the uk scene with his powerful vocal register and soulful intonations.

stand by us with this ode to childhood, youth and adolescene. three brave hits that evoke the sweet innocence of days long gone, chucks, striped tees and the question what kind of creature goofy really is. for all you outsiders and insiders. a creative original young edits effort. only original with the stamp.

funkalicious james is one half of disco-house super-duo childhood 87, along with his old pal le loup. their >caught up< edit on airdrops aux-rec imprint back in january 2010 got some mouths talking and feet sliding. funkalicious james is now back with his debut solo ep and airdrop is really glad to bring it to you on vinyl today. the parisian born producer prepared two explosive cuts for his a-side, starting things mellow with >call on groove< and speeding it up a notch on >broken hips<. on the flip, douze -- another young parisian producer who appeared on the last hold youth record by seuil and le loup -- brings back a certain touch of french filtering, in the classiest manner. finally, it didnt take us much time to figure out who would be the most appropriate airdrop trooper to round this record off… john spring signs the deal, with a feverish version

jorge ciccioli shows up again on rrygular. with his new release >southern tool< the argentinian dives really deep into the minimal genre. by focussing on the most important elements he created three handy and driving dj tools. and although the tunes are already well arranged there is room to experiment while playing. the track >sinatsuma< comes with a nice signature phrase that might get stuck in your head. the whole b face is reserved for the remix by franco cinelli who turned the main track into a dubby techhouse tune of almost 10min. nice one.

nice price deal !!! after three releases of darkened house, proto rave and weird techno, hollands boutique purple maze label takes a detour into funky disco territory with prime numbers and firecracker craftsman fudge fingas at the helm. his amaranthine labyrinth ep is lively, bright and sugary, but still features plenty of complex analogue machinery to get you dancing.eyes on the prize opens proceedings with some distant bongos, glassy percussion and punchy kick drums. its a jostling track with insistent claps running right through it that really comes alive when some sweeping chords bring irresistible colour and funk.

never not working, elef well deserved has become one of the closest watched talents in the deep house scene. born half greek / half supermodel the berlin based producer has dropped some remarkable releases on dirt crew, murmur and hypercolour. in an act of reciprocal affection elef and carry on joined forces to create the lovely nuff said ep, soon to be available on limited coloured vinyl. the ep kicks off with black hole featuring elefs signature melodramatic chord structure, some quirky percussion and a captivating motown vocal sample. the incredible gerd remix will end up in a lot of record cases, a dancefloor no brainer! on the flip nuff said incorporates an old school bassline with those beautiful emotional chords again. the ambitious uk trio zoo look strips it all back to what deep house really is nowadays, a groovy squarebass and atmospheric pads.

2diy4 is back to release its fourth ep! its a classic four tracker and the first release of amine edge & dance and nhan solo on 2diy4. during the last years both of them convinced the crowds with fresh and housey tracks and we are really proud to have them finally on 2diy4!
