goodlife, gigolo, hot banana or turbo are just four of the countless labels, where kiko has released some of his most eclectic productions. now it’s time for him to rock huntemann’s confused label. his sound is always trenched with electro, ebm and intergalactic disco elements - a certain ratio of retro. faces of life is no exception from this rule. saw-tooth basses a raw drumming and spaced out melodies pave the way for this rave club weapon from the outer rim of uranus. galaxia is another example for his approach towards electronic dance music – comparable to the dutch legend legowelt he simply knows about the analogue sound world. this is a big rock band shrivelled into a moog space ship

"dust science returns with fresh blood for 2007 on the faith is fear ep. weve been fans of fabrice lig for years her at dust. hes released an avalanche of great techno on classic labels such as kms, 7th city, fcomm and playhouse and hes done us produ with his first release for us. "access denied" is a surging, swinging, darkside monster thats relentlessly tricky and funky. the detroit pads are seriously tripped out and swamped in glitchy beats and stepping hi-hats, and theres some serious low end; its a hell of a track. regis and female are responsible for some of the best uk techno ever made. here they contribute c/chaos; performed live at the orbit in leeds, its simply massive, propelled by downward twisting strings and utterly slamming, intoxicating electronic rhythms. techno luminaries the 65d mavericks are renowned for their driving but innovative techno. "wiretap" is well up to their high standards."

chrysanthemum ep is the first new recording from kelley polar since his hugely successful debut album released in 2005, love songs of the hanging gardens. the seeds of chrysanthemum are described by mr. polar himself as a confluence of the apocalyptic fear that permeated all cold war childhoods, comic book illustrations of blood and violence abstracted into flora and a b grade science fiction novels portraying two teens in the final throes of lovemaking as the world is destroyed in nuclear apocalypse. yet despite this decidedly dark and unique approach, the song is nevertheless pure pop catchy and indelible once heard. rosenband is lighter in subject matter yet just as deep musically, filled with synthetic layers and rhythms that reveal themselves slowly on subsequent listens. despite the immediacy of the melodies, there is a detail that permeates all of kelley polars work and rewards the attentive listener. a completely reworked instrumental version of rosenband is stretched across the b side and is dare we say it a dancefloor killer, with a long, mix friendly intro building to an incredible crescendo. the track is arranged and mixed by morgan geist and was done so with djs in mind!

after the huge cross-over hit impressed here comes the next single by solee. different again combines the fresh sounds of electro with a nice melancholic and trancy melody. the huge slowly building hell of a break will leave your crowd with their hands in the air…for sure! on the flip you will find a superb hypnotic minimal remix by voltique, who already released on get physical, gigolo and love triangle. last but not least there is a remix by newcomer pascal vert with a nice laid-back appeal

sunset diskos presents jens lodén, he released a couple of records for dialog recordings (sonar kollektiv). anyway jens presented his version of minimal funk for us, and we fell immediately for his feeling for groove, something we lack in most so called >minimal< these days. not to be forgotten in this context: jens general background as a superb electric bass player. so what we have here is two stunning examples of straight back minimal funk, presented under the disguise as tech house.. jens presents his production in a unique style, really hard to describe or compare to other productions around , so you got to hear it for yourself..

forteba was born and raised in hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. his early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by german deep-house stuff. he likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. he produced some successful singles in his home country as >the garage< together with gábor pasztoriális and got released at hungary-based underground labels……

we come accross suffocating moments, sick jazz in a minimalistic key, sparks of extreme, evolutive, interlaced intensity that eventually create futurisms and bring them close to the listener. intensity, restlessness, hypnosis and vibration could define this first tupperwear release in klitekture. this ep extracted from their album >beton insel< is, most of all, a true surprise box, as you will not be able to predict by which roads will the following twist in this permanently progressing and changing evolution, theres where a very significant part of its assets and its own goal reside. complexly and simply brutal. this ep edition released on vinyl contains a remix crated by lod from gas usa, a debilitating declaration of intentions by tupperwear that under lods concept aquires a smother tone than the original going from the tupperwear demolish actitude to a more repetitive structures

big hit! stunning minimal techno from berlins underground producer scene! the subdub label owner and berlin based techno activists heinrichs & hirtenfellner, have already released numerous tracks and remixes on labels like lordag, supdub, tonkonsum, römer and freshly squeezed: karateklub! violet rain on the a-side is a deep groovin’ track with melancholic atmosphere rounded up with an amazing pumping bassline. on the flip drop to the warm ground is a funky and intense track accented with bleepy textures. for peak time play, no question about it! “under the water surface” starts with a smooth beat combined with nice melodic elements. but after the break: a dirty and pushing bassline rolls over the whole track - the monster awakes and send the dancing crowd to the moon and back! amazing 3-track ep - buy or die!

redshapes profile is still rapidly growing. taken in mind it has been just over one year ago redshapes first ep was released on delsin - a lot of things have happened! nowadays weekly doing performances through europe, and two singles ending up in de:bugs 2006 chart. back to now, this new ep. steam comes in clonky and rough, as the track species on his last ep on redshapes own imprint present. light is a deeply beatless freaked synth excursion. the flip brings more hot stuff - starting with munch, a more detroited redshape as before! sounding as a lost 69 track, with its quircky chopped up breakbeats and whobbling synth bassline. plush at last brings in the otherworldy sounds inline of this ep on styrax. catchy business!!

dont worry, christophe dalla-ca aka kiko is not interested in a seventies disco revival, even if the tongue in cheek reference to john travolta in the title track of this ep might imply that. on the other hand, the work released by the man from grenoble for such renowned labels as ozone, hot banana, goodlife and turbo has consistently shown that kikos interpretation of techno from the 2000s also includes a conscious reworking of past dance floor orientated electronic music. in this sense, kiko has succeeded in making three stand alone, coherent interpretations of a mutual meltdown of new wave, disco and elektro, with the tracks on the >tragolta ep<. whether he is impressing with the best possible mix of ebm and dave clarkes red series (30.1) or enchanting us with the continuously jewel like, dazzling melancholic melodies of >electric burst< or >tragolta<– the fact remains true that he perfectly supplements this approach to the sound cosmos of datapunk

incl. rob acid aka robert babicz mix, after it has been a long time since a record was released on our favourite label fq inside, is it more than time to bring one out…here and now we come with a really fine acid track. it was produced by gabriel fiebelkorn from cologne. thats probably the reason why it was named >burn cologne<…but cologne isn t burning, but for sure the track is – it pumps and pumps and pumps, that it is a really great pleasure to listen to it. it is a very great acid track without being oldschool. the rob acid remix comes along with his typical hypnotic style and flies with you around cologne. close your eyes and enjoy! fantastic!

nice and chunky, keep up doing what you do so wellintroducing deadset: an act that crafts house music in some of its many disguises. the two man team used to do a lot of that, and a little bit of this. before deadset1 and deadset2 came into being, they played in the sandpit with the likes of muse, miss kittin, royksopp, tiefschwarz, justin timberlake, scissor sisters and with labels such as fine, blue fin, souvenir, made to play, wall of sound and tsuba. now they do a lot of this and only a little bit of that. disregarding this, that and the other, their tipping point has arrived… they have also been allowed to play around at the likes of weekend (berlin), panoramabar (berlin), fabric (london), the end (london) and countless other joints. lovingly nurtured, their forthcoming album, keys open doors, is about to be released into the wild from the arms of jesse rose and his front room label. music for now, with an eye on tomorrow, made with sounds of then. deadset 1 is tom mangan. deadset 2 is cass. cass + mangan is dead. long live deadset

only unreleased new tracks from dj deeon and slugo....though he s revered among chicago djs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, deeon started small, on chicagos south side. he sold his dj mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. these crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, >for the strippers, for the street<. while tracks like >accelerate< on dance mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local chicago clubs. deeon calls ghetto house the >stepchild of chicago house<. eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. these >techno with a ghetto edge< tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. deeon found his home on chicagos own dance mania label, where he released hits like >let me bang<, >who you wit<, >da dick suck< and >the freaks<. deeon is currently signed to databass records, which is rereleasing most of his back catalog with new remixes!

essential compilation! already played by sven väth, karotte, laurent garnier, jimpster,…. >grand cru< is a term used in the wine business and normally denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of both one wine-producing area and one vintage. the stylistic diversities featured on this compilation arent less refined and versatile. at the same time this compilation boasts of a representative selection of artists who already released on connaisseur as well as up-andcoming new members of our artist pool. this selection is the beginning of a periodical series which will be released on a yearly basis. apart from afrilounge coming along with an elegantly lowered house groove, another artist who has already released on connaisseur, surely jochen trappe will be setting the benchmark with his glitch-rock-tech track. there are more familiar faces to be encountered – for example daso teaming up with his ingenious partner pawas. they both make even the most lame couch potato taste their own very special beaujolais and freak out on the dancefloor - blood , sweat and tears!
