vinyl exclusive release! no digital !!!story02 brings you more tales from the deepside that have no author attached to them and rather sound like deephouse traditionals secretly and orally passed down from one wise deephouse initiate to the next. free from superficial glitzy effects, showy noodling or even the slightest nod to the latest fad in clubland every single one of these 3 tracks is like a condensed version of what deephouse is about and revokes mystic memories of nights in dark, bassridden basements. >deepcut59< is a manifest not for minimalism but simplicity where only the slow swelling of a chord can make you burst with joy and just the addition of a hi-hat will stir you into action with new vigor. >on the way back< over on the b-side features a relentlessly pushing, driving rhythm with abstract, piercing piano chords scattered all over while the title of the closing >rhodes on drums< says it all: sweet wailing, rhodes musings on >love and happiness< for those blue hours in the morning. this story is an epic!

after the huge impact of part 2, which went straight to the highest position of pretty much all breaks charts bsd are back with their part 1 of the intoxikated muzik ep.

on the a-side , >brunhilde< the old bitch welcomes us, again completely drunken and swinging to rhythm with her frying pan. the second track is >hip hop chopsui< - a meal which can satiate 500 dance hungry hip swinging ravers without a problem. if you still dont have enough you turn around the record. for here >master mason< shows us, that b-sides can also display their cold-blooded lethal potential. should anyone against your expctation still sit at the bar, nip on his drink uninvolvedly and flirt with the barkeeper, >parcel< will finally make this grumbler let his bar stool stand there and mix into the dance willing crowd.

2 highly sought after disco reworks by the one and only larry levan. this is one of those must have collectable eps bursting with rare & collectable material never released on vinyl before. limited eddition so act fast

phantasma one is the first 12?,, of our second compilation, featuring”clapper” by tobias. and efdemin s “hope”. we are astonished and thrilled this split ep doesn t even sound like one but is of beautiful consistence and adequacy. “clapper” hypnotizes from the first second with a straight forward percussion rhythm which curls inescapable upwards even in the mind of an inattentive listener, pushing ahead with classic machine drums driven with a both glaring and harsh attitude. the crystal surface of efdemin s “hope” is woven into a plait of swelling basses and enriched with extensive spins of snare rolls and precious carpets of highlighted chords which seems to rise out of the drums which carry the whole track with slick efficiency. without a doubt this vinyl will be in every record case for a long time. grab your copy as long as there are some.

the second release from merkur aka japasese embassy is coming. we can expect an exciting and unexpected 3 tracker which does not fit in any conventional category. gonno, tokyo based producer and dj, has graped everyones attetion with his outstanding “i don’t need competition (inkl. donnacho costello mix)” on beyond records in late winter 2008. for merkur he has designed the acid-revival track “desolation 303?,,. this track is build on a tricky chicago styled rhythm and an acid sequence which first comes slowly, later on developing an beautiful drive suitable on every dancefloor. berlin based japanese artist / label owner shingo suwa painted the tune “silver blue” with a lot of love for chords and melodic spins. maybe you can call it housemusic knocked down to a minimal attitude. “two of us” plays with warm synths on a solid base, slightly referring to the detroit deep house culture and impressing with an advanced but nevertheless solid groove

one year after his first ep on cargo edition, kostas tassopouls aka ekkohaus delivers to the label another incredibly strong release. the native-born greek, now living in berlin, has developed into an skilled producer who rides the line between techno and house. the combination of reduced, hypnotic and impulsive arrangements with a subtle deepness are typical of ekkohaus’ sound, demonstrated perfectly in the two tracks of this ep. “unsound” is characterized by his smooth, almost elegant rhythm. a repetitive meandering vocal sample weaves through the track, sounding familiar yet haunting at the same time. the track is already played by many key dj’s and is definitely to be heard more often within the next months to come. “moon talking” focuses on a more standard vocal which gives the track some pop-appeal. at the same time the introverted male vocal introduces a very catching harmony which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the dancefloor. with this ep, ekkohaus cements himself as one of the modern-house talents.

incl gregor tresher remix !! in its original form, ghost life displays all the hauntingly emotive qualities that the title suggests. subtly uplifting and set to a shuffling rhythm the main focus of the piece is a wonderfully tranquil melody that flows freely on top of heavy sub-bass. typically cinematic ghost life is instantly recognizable as a pole folder record. gregor tresher brings his midas touch to the release, shaking up the sublime sounds of the original to create a dark tech house rework.
