from celle into the wide world: these days guido schneider is one of the major globetrotters among djs and producers worldwide, but he began his career 15 years ago in provincial germany. however, instead of baking bread rolls, schneider founded his own label neue welten right from the beginning. it was a move that naturally brought him to the capital of electronic music in berlin. what followed was a series of exciting and successful collaborations with other renowned artists, and after dissolving his label, schneider began travelling as a sought after dj, jetting all around the globe. it is little wonder that such a reputable dj and producer also belongs to the diverse highgrade family. he has now produced another ep for the berlin label which brings us the typical guido schneider qualities right before our eyes, or even better: before our ears! the two tracks navigate precicely from the first bar, the minimal sound universe that relies on elaborate percussion, without ever being over produced, and flow into fantastically harmonic vocals that lend the thumping beats an elegant softeness. simply stated, typically schneider.

on brothers in loves first release, max k. gets right down to business introducing himself and this family project: booming kick drums, thumping toms side by side with sharp hi-hats and staccato claps. machine grooves with sounds as raw as the musical approach of the artist. >losing your cool< builds on a massive kick drum, with a tom groove shuffling the track. it develops into a late summer bloom, which is over as fast as this years berlin summer was – with piercing percussion to remind you that winter is already here! >overdrive<, the first track on the flip, starts as a heavy slow groover with thumping kick, crashing snare and acidic synth lines until a punishing hook enters knocking you upside the head. the second track on the b-side, >indulgence< comes disguised as a stepper with a raw, pulsating analog bass line, but reaches its apex with a whirling synth lead on top of a vocal that could never be classified as your ordinary preachapella.

norm talley tackles techno. yes, you heard that right… in spite of 3 tracks on the original transmissions that fell a little closer to what the heads would expect from a very reliable source, it was that first one that everyone begged for more of. we must agree that those 3 minutes were just a little of a tease, so here is the full 9-minute extended cut of “man on the moon” that all of you asked for, and what a trip it is! certainly funky broken-beat techno is a new look for norm, but it’s pretty obvious in all 9 of the minutes here that this is a man from detroit making the music he knows best. there’s a groove and a touch here that speaks of soul and experience… although you may find this one in the crates of some of the new school techno elite, it’s safe to say they couldn’t have made it the way norm talley did. even if you remember part one you may be surprised where he takes it, but we’re even more pleased to say that “earth 2 moon” beats it at its own game. this one made our necks snap and heads turn the very first time.

following vincenzos astonishing recent album, >wherever i lay my head<, which really elevated the producers status into the stratosphere, we continue the story with three new remixes, from cult legend tom middleton, smooth-talking newcomers genius of time, and talented uk-based mic newman. tom middleton, who needs no introduction as the legendary producer behind such classic projects as the jedi knights, global communication and cosmos, hands in a modern deep techno remix that shimmers with melody and dubbed out echoes of the original version of >sometimes saturday<. leaning towards epic, with moody old-school synth builds set against contemporary punching bass tones, it certainly doesnt disappoint. swedens maverick slow-housers genius of time rework vincenzos >106 downtown< which is also a work of genius in its own right. the boys add sensitive, detailed down-tempo beats with some wonderful warm swirling vibes mic newman transforms >hello!< into a crafty fresh tech-house groover with his dub remix. floating, ethereal synths mix with bubbling acid and liquid beats in this seriously smooth and complex mix.

>call me< is a welcome dose of precisely what we all need right now: a brilliant ray of sunny electro disco to warm up our winter dancefloors. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner has joined forces with fellow swedish house cat patrick l for a collaborative effort that offers a fresh, playful and breezy take on deep disco grooves. the dj nibc mix rides a languid summer afternoon tempo, accompanied by shimmering light beams and sweet synth chords, rising to a peak of uplifting strings and soulful vocals that weave around the tracks core retro melody. the patrick l mix gives the full polyphonic treatment, shifting the filtered strings to the intro, intensifying the bass, and using subtle punchy cut-ups in contrast with patricks crystal-clear vocal treatment. fellow swede tiger stripes completes the trio of countrymen, with a tiger stripes remix that moulds the track into an urgent dancefloor cut, emphasising an irresistible bass melody, a thudding kick drum, and classic house stabs of synths and voice. londons newest simmering hot creations signee funnels even more sunshine into his rework, as the crea albas lost soul remix splays out the the tracks high hats and fills all available spaces with arcs of retro synths and cosmic reverb.

3 years ago patrick & frederic started their marvelous career as kaiserdisco and made it to one of the most interesting acts in the global underground scene. they are not only a techno or minimal act, kaiserdisco is fascinating people all over the world cause they are producing music from lazy deep house to groovy techno, always with the right sense for the dancefloor. in the last years they remixed artists like booka shade, kosheen, extrawelt, sebastien leger, 2000 & one...., and had releases on legendary labels like drumcode, 100% pure, strictly rhythm, my best friend, global underground etc... and now it is time to start their own imprint. the first kd music release la famillia ep comes from kaiserdisco themselves. the a-side la benjamina is a typical kaiserdisco anthem. strong beats, groovy bass and a hypnotizing melody. you can feel it in every second of this track how much fun it was to produce this piece of music. especially the big break will make you go mad!! hija major on the b-side is a heavyweight techno layout. a massive rolling bassline catches you from the first second! the hole track reminds you of a fast rolling train packed full of wood. it rattles from first to last and when it falls into the breaks you can imagine it pushes the train even more and more and more...

truth & decoda – the emperor: emperor is the heavy hitting, distorted reese tearout monster with a dramatic intro of horror film proportions. this follows the dark jump up vibe of wheel & deal, and will smash up any dance.
truth & dutty ranks – calling you back: this is a upbeat style track, reminiscent of the older dubstep sound. with a tribal skank and haunted garage style vocal, this is soulful but sub heavy in its own right.

the eraly years of a decade are good times for exploration, just like in 1993 when we (alex & sasa) first started working together. we rented a huge loft space on ave b & 2nd st. in the east village in manhattan. the winter was tough, we had 16 snow storms and due to a landlord who hated everybody, we had our heating turned off except for a few hours in the morning, sometimes not even that... the only way to stay warm was to wear hats, gloves and scarves the whole winter... but that was fine because nightlife was a lot of fun. there was a good club/party every night. right below where we lived was one of the best after hour clubs called >save the robots<. but one of my favourite parties was >sugar babes< which was at the cbgbs gallery space right next door to cbgbs, every monday night. the dj used to sample parts of the records he was mixing and then just play the loop of the sample and alongside was a drummer playing to it. it was really inspiring. so we wanted to go back to this idea of sound assembly and create a new series for us to work with called >skematics< its like a diagram or manual to help understand the interconnections between the odd parts we find and assemble, an imaginary manual for a new decade that has not been musically defined yet

dj t. gave us his fine album, the pleasure principle last winter. since then ts given controls to top producers for high grade remixes. this time daniel bortz, clockwork and dj t. himself take on >leavin me feat. khan<. jump right into things with the clockwork remix, a sweet blend of house-party amience and maintime club sensation. the rhythm alone could keep us dancing for hours, that mixed with the itchy bassline and arousing vocals, ensure that no one is feeling anything else. clockwork delivers a solid remix, more than worthy of >leavin me<. the b side shows daniel bortzs remix in full view. right away, a full beat pulling you into the rhythm, building to the entrancing chord play. the vocal lines give a sensual tone to the mix,. right at home in berlins watergate or a closing party on ibiza, this track carries us on, while the night hours fade to early morning. t.s > left with attitude mix< finds us in the deepest of nights, where flashing lights illuminate our ecstatic faces. heavy piano chords roll and the beat fades, pure sound. the kick brings us back to earth. t. meets us at the part when you realize you have found what you are looking for and all is right in the world

g.h. is gary howell, longtime associate of modern love as one half of pendle coven and sometime contributor to the hate project. the ground ep features howells first material produced outside of pendle coven and takes on a much darker, more stripped down aesthetic - making use of location recordings amassed over the last decade. the title track extends over 7 minutes from a solitary bass pulse into a slow, three dimensional industrial reduction heaving with uncomfortable bass weight and a sense of nervous expectation. its like the bare, skeletal noise framework for darkest junglist hardcore stripped of its percussion - all bar a bass drum and intense shards of noise. albedo has more of a swing to it, dominated by a growling bassline and the metallic clunk of disjointed percussion at odds with the squashed funk lurking somewhere at its core. the template is extended on earth, a brilliantly discordant club variant that sounds like an r&b mastertrack exploded into 100 constituent parts and put together not entirely in the right order. it builds and collapses into itself, a stylistic oddity that at one and the same time brings to mind boards of canadas re- working of colonel abrams - trapped and the extreme frequency vortex of the raster noton lab
