after the big succes of hi tech booty, we searched for some really special guys out there to put hand on ahmets bomb. well here it is. a1 comes from maetrik which was a strong desire of ahmet and for sure an excellent choice. he totally brings in his own style while getting a little bit closer to the darkside of the track. a2 is a special collab between rainer, which we know from the last regular stock5 record together with cesare vs disorder and viudez, a mexican guy that seems to have a very nice influence to the production style. the vocal is very present but placed, arranged and transformed geniously. for sure a weapon! b1 is written by our special friend chris sylvester aka inxec. starting with a very housy groove, it falls quickly into a hypnotic mood that is unique in inxec productions. he really knows what the dancefloor requires and for this we are very happy to have him again in our release roster. b2 presents a very new and fresh artist called rico casazza. he interprets the track in a very detroit way, works verz little with the vocal but hits it very perfectly for the sense of the track. after this debut on our imprint you can be sure to hear more of this young guy in the next time!!!

and again the ostwind crew welcome a new artist on their sub label ostwind limited. sandru lives in cologne and raised with music as a son of a bassist. he played drums and piano in his childhood and made the first steps with techno at the age of 15. now the 24 years old sandru releasing his first track called >late night stories<. raw minimal beats und clicks, combined with a dirty rolling bass and a building hookline will give you some warmness in these winter days. a good start by sandru and we looking forward to his next releases on ostwind. to make this record perfect we have two pretty tracks from our friend from sofia, ataneus. well known for his productions on ostwind, subotnik and ackerdub, ataneus shows again his talent for emotional and very deep going stuff. en echolon and spectral class have this typical warm bass and arrangements from ataneus. forward groovin techhouse styled up with markant pinpointed melodies. also music to fuse the ice from the house top oft he club.

danish producer martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on techno and house. his very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. with his debut record on cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. the mzuzu ep is all about bass. the bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. while the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. the basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in ones mothers womb. it arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. martinez reorganises the structure of house music: the lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. the tracks rarely need anything else. the icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. >mzuzu chant< & >adagio< are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space

italojohnson starts the new year punctual with his third stroke. this record will have something suitable on it for everyone out there. without batting an eyelid, its crosseyed and selfconfident, looking at three different floors at the same time: the a-side focuses on the chicago house floor. it begins with a recognizable toolish sound. slowely but surely the theme of the track opens – the track works through a breakdown, a classic drum roll sneaks in and jack grabs again. the b1 provides an unusual turn on the third italojohnson production. theres no space for compromises here. the track stomps on the steam engine warehouse floor. a flowing acid hookline is settled in the industrial drumline and gives the track its meaning. the second track on the flipside completes the whole package and is destined for the late night hours. thats everything there is to say about this track – the strength and emotion can only be experienced by listening first hand. love, peace and happiness

after the success of their inaugural workout last summer, jam factory return with their second ep of machine-made music that goes bump in the night. ocean calling is an authentic big-room house record underpinned by a catchy bassline combined with ever-evolving synth stabs and crisp analogue drums. on the flip hot & heavy kicks off with a rolling subterranean bassline and gradually develops into an addictive groove.

>contemporary soul< is the term which best describethis release. karat has always felt that records speak for themselves, but if description is necessary, well, there you are. mzkbx (pronounced >music box<) has a soft spot for the classic sound of old school house productions, as well as a healthy fetisch for 80s funk & disco. his productions successfully bring those influences up to date and onwards to the future... veteran record collector and dj (macadam macambo), mzkbx handles the transition to studio with ease, delivering a solid release for karat, in grand style. elegant, classy and sincere, it grooves the dancefloor without reverting to the typical dance music cliches.

shakarchi & straneus are faik and daniel, two bffs from gothenburg who are making some of the most catchy, emotional and well crafted dance music we have heard in a long time. both had been involved in music for a while when they started working together at their hometowns top tapas joint, manana. in between washing dishes and serving patatas bravas, the boys would burst out short tracks and sound experiments in the makeshift studio they had set up inside mananas cloakroom. this led to a debut 12 inch on malmo based geography recordings and now comes their five track ep >dodskallar och korallrev<: studio barnhus second release, the best swedish house record since jesper dahlbacks >what is the time mr. templar?<, something we are immensely proud of being able to release.

once again, berlin based resopal label head mri sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes. weakend-polka titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced house / funk music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you will ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. this is electric intergalactic soul/funk/house/techno. its noir, its dirty, its dangerous and risqu. on vinyl, as we like our little record-shop around the corner.

first on decks.de!! an outstanding record filled with a harmonic fusion of surprising musical contradictions.
a: ooh zoot: twinkle-toed minimal house spiced up with a jazz-flavoured funkiness. yet turmspringer easily manage to avoid the risk of staying superficial by flavouring the tune with with a unique strangeness.
b1: ooh zoot (laufmasche remix): the remix by laufmasche gets back to the essentials, produced with an elegant analogue feeling dominating the track and leading to an excessive peaktime eruption.
b2: in between 2 cigarettes: berlin based duett turmspringer tickles out the abstract minimal techno undertones >in between 2 cigarettes< garnished with vivid background noises. massive dancefloor capability!

at least some vinyl goodness from lunice courtesy of our friends at luckyme. this is playful futuristic beat music that screams instant hit but if you dig deeper there is alot going on underneath its glossy surface. every track is a winner to top it all off there is a remix from our man rustie. this is most certainly a record you should spend some time with.

after several hot tunes on worthy’s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke

it is about time for a record from label founder dario zenker. dont ask why it took so long, but be sure it wasnt the last one. and what a record this is, after several great releases on labels like vakant, harry klein records or time to express, dario’s debut on his own imprint is another example for his unique and mature sound. his studio just as his music has grown over the years. 10 am sounds like an earthquake, raw and dirty, it builds up so much energy that even babensham starts to shake. farrel on the other side is best described as deep break beat techno. it shows the diversity of darios productions and diversity combined with a certain signature is a great mix in our opinion. so enjoy it or not, dance or put your hands in your pockets, share some love or be a hater, no matter what we like u.

deep in the night, 2000 and one and sandy huner met up in their amsterdam studio to record >baile bass groove<, reflecting their early hour mood, this tune is the perfect tool for the afterparty.
on the flipside we welcome robert babicz, a name which doesnt need introduction! the title >take it deep< says it all, deep chords and floating strings are the ingredients which penetrate and power this groove.
last but not least, diego moura & diogo accioly better know as talking props both resident at d-edge in sao paulo, bring you >walking on white sands<, funky stabs and catchy vocal snippets make this track rock the dancefloors.

holmby hills two smooth n ruff house tracks and two hip hop-jazz encores turn this record into a testimony for the state of mind of formresonance. when soul is melted together into an off the grid house track, it is not that far-fetched that both men have shared their music ever since tapes existed. engin oeztuerk, one half of here today, which came out on philpot and buzzin fly and block barley (who already has released two albums on hong kong records and we aint music) are both tinkering in search of music to dance to. they wickedly transform their musical masters ideas into something extraordinary sounding. an off-the-grid team

mitzi are a 4 piece of awesomeness made up of dominiqe bird, jad lee, charlie murdoch and cale suesskow. they all hail from australias most laidback and sunny city brisbane. some people call it brisvegas because its sexy too. after playing in various killer bands such as bmx (2009 unearthed parklife winners), comic sans (2010 unearthed st jeromes laneway festival winners), charlie why! (recent bang gang 12 inches signing) and the gallery kiss all the dudes have united to create some genuinely exciting australian music. the three tunes on >all i heard< fuse the sounds of garage disco, nyc indie and the light heartedness of australian pop. jono ma (lost valentinos, tracy thorn, teenagers in tokyo) mixed the record at ewan pearsons studio in berlin and made all those trumpets, snares, keys, whispers and vocals sound ridiculously tight. future classics history has always been rooted in bands and were pretty stocked to be getting back into it. plus its our 50th release!

guy gerber teams up with an all-star lineup of fantastic friends to bring the labels 25th release to the dancefloor. a collaborative work featuring the likes of dop, ryan crosson, varoslav, guti & greg paulus - time for a change, marks a pivotal time & place for the label. the family-feel of this release is a vibe that transcends more than the music on the record…its the way that the team behind the label operates day to day as well. with creative input on the label coming from all corners of the globe, its only natural that the 25th release would bring this crew together. >time for a change< the ep title & leading track of supplement facts’ 25th release takes charge with an almost marching tone

the third instalment of the bitches brew limited 10-inch series is the darkstarr remix and darkstarr dub of >dont do it< by salvador santana. the 10-inch is designed and hand-printed by artist james morrison so that each record is unique. salvador santana is a hip hop / soul singer / songwriter / keyboardist and is also the son of carlos santana. his debut album >keyboard city< saw contributions from bay area legends such as del the funky homosapien, gza of wu-tang clan and beastie boy studio wizard money mark who also co-wrote >dont do it<. the darkstarr production duo of ashley beedle and cosmo were asked to do a remix and bitches brew has released the results on vinyl on this special 10-inch series. their darkstarr mixes have received big support from musical selectors as diverse as the lofts david mancuso all the way to shit robot.

on this record are four finely-crafted weapons that boom like a howitzer and beguile like a drunken pirate’s cutlass. forged using an ages-old blend of modern computer technology and 1980s synthesisers, all are designed to cause maximum offence on the dancefloor.

track 5, a previously unreleased single meant for >the days of mars< album, but ultimately deemed out of place on the record, begins with the slow reveal of a repeating electronic ring atop a rising, falling, sine-curving synth. with each additional layer—a piercing, urgent synthesizer, a deep, continuous, ever-expanding rumble, the sound of a guitar, awash in reverb—the atmosphere thickens. its both restless and placid, anxious and tranquil. just over ten minutes in length, the track closes with a chorus of high-pitched synths that fade to a sparse, darkened end. this 12-inch, very likely gonzalez and russoms last, also features a remix from Âme, comprised of germanys kristian beyer and frank wiedemann. the house duo wholly transforms the a-side into a track so unrecognizable it seems brand new, taking it far from the introspective dreamworld to a dance party in the sweaty, blissed-out, wee hours of the morning

nile delta is dancefloor wizard joel dickson, former member of riot in belgium and current member of cutters dynamic-duo, voltage. having spent the past year neck-deep in other peoples music – it was only a matter of time before this, nile deltas debut ep emerged, shimmering, from the water. channel sounds like a late 70s house party. except the house is actually a warehouse and the late 70s are actually the early 90s. an almost paradoxical blend of filtered piano stabs, party whistles, endless delays, a squelching acid lead, horns, bendy-breakdowns, you name it. channel sounds like moodymann at his rawkus best. no party will be complete without this house gem. all this on the flip, sees cut copy bassist ben browning provide an otherworldly vocal hook over nile deltas inescapable rhythm. and the crawling baseline will have your hips doing obscene things. guaranteed. remixes include longtime favourites chicken lips, who take their invincible track record on an italian holiday – and tornado wallace who takes us deep, deep into the night.

one chord to rule them all! deetron, octave one & jori hulkkonen put their hands on some brikha classics!!! in 1998 aril brikha reacquainted the world with deep techno soul, as his record groove la chord crossed generic boundaries.

for detroit techno lovers ... fantasic record incl strong christian smith rmx...616 seconds highlights marcs dancefloor knowledge, and once again sees him harnessing the strength and power of contrasting sounds. the cascading and sweeping synths, sit pretty alongside the underlying, gated growl of the main bass-heavy synth, pierced only by its open hats and snare hits.

we would like to say it was all part of a big bombastic plan… the biggest selling bearfunk artist, a top song, the prague philharmonic, 40 piece strings and some great remixes all to celebrate bearfunks 50th release, but alas, it was not! bfk050 is actually the 67th single release on bearfunk. the strings were done in the lunch-break downtime of a session in prague with strings-chappie, john bryan. make good music and occasionally, just occasionally, good things happen to you! so the knife-edge karma of indie record labels flows.
