a fascinating delve into the bizarre and brilliant world of jeremiah yisrael and the disco funk treasures of tap records. i ll let it rot before i let them take my shit. – jeremiah yisrael forty seven tapes, reams of sheet music, copyright forms, membership applications for the brotherhood of wisdom, two flaking acetates, three moldy 12inch singles, and a script for the still unfilmed motion picture angel dust. we stuffed it all into four supermarket fruit boxes, jammed them in the back of a rented chrysler town & country, and tore ass out of nathaniel jeremiah ben yisraels driveway, making a getaway that simultaneously spit us right back at the most bizarre recorded mystery we d ev

more dark and moody madness from matt b. bushwacka’s stunning production mastery really shines through here as two versions, each with a slightly different twist take effect. the a side, >every dog has its day< shuns the current trends and stands alone like a lonely child at playtime. heavy hammer blow bass and resonating glitches that will stand the test of time. the drum mix takes you on a different tour of the dancefloor and drops you right in front of the dj booth.

million dan is the man of the moment. with his killer album on the streets he is quite rightly regarded as the top uk mc right now. this little 7 inch is not as cheeky as it sounds. sam webster (aka sloth from headcount records) was working on some admin with the million dappa records team and when he heard the scream out original track he was really into it, but felt it could do with a re-rub that brought the energy out of million dans vocal delivery.

the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

german deep house maestro ralf gum continues his superb output with another single taken from his celebrated long-player >uniting music if no harm>’,is featuring rachel claudio on vocals and proves ralf’,s talent to deliver songs with the right combination of elements to make a serious impact on the advanced dance-floors. the pumping beats and multi-layered percussion in the ‘,original mix’, are surrounded by an effective baseline and kicking poly-synth stabs to build the driving musical bed for rachel’,s passionate vocal.

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

last summer, the berlin-based producer and well-known remixer chris zippel (who already worked with the pet shop boys, robbie williams or ich & ich) already celebrated his very personal interpretation of modern and complex ambient between zwischen triphop beats and melancholic pop references by his genuine horizon album. with this ep, chillout producer zippel has chosen a way quite unusual for him by taking four tracks of the album, making them compatible for the dancefloor with a number of co-producers and proving that dub is still up-to-date in 2008. the ep starts with an interpretaton of electronic spain recordings producer mangelt: again, a straightforward energy flash between reminiscence and modern club sound, takes on the powerful post acid minimalhouse sound a la steve bug. the dane mike salta turns mirror dawn into deep techhouse dub, and also the schwerin-based downtempo producer andre muelle alias vakuum sounds shows that he is influenced by a timelessly valid unterstanding of dub and fragmented s mples by his version of glacier. finally, the tribal progressive house dub of blade remixed by kling klong impresario namito (berlin), undoubtedly the most famous remixer on this ep, goes right into your hips

continuing in our quest to break some new ground and bring some new sounds to the fore, universal vibes presents the onaz. standing out from the crowd, with a bit of a unique sound and outlook, the onaz is a new artist who we think fits right in with the leftfield vibe we are going for with the universal vibes label. the onaz mainly subscribes to nudisco music influenced by emperor machine, lindstrom and prins thomas however, his production of the form is more minimal.this sound combines the deep electronic disco stylings of lindstrom, prins thomas et al with the edgy techtronics and beat trickery of seiji and the west london mob. resulting in a deep, minimal edgy dancefloor led sound that stands out from then crowd

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

the kazey & bulldog picture disc is followed by the first d2s release from our hero rod lee - a baltimore legend in his own right and in our eyes the no. 1 club producer, bar none. this super aggro dude has serious issues. he just needs to open his mouth and kids cry flames. for his first d2s release, rod commits re-mastered versions of two of our favourite cuts produced by the man. we first heard >understand< when we scored a bunch of scottie bs ebay auctions, and to this day its one of the best baltimore tracks ive ever heard. you can play this sh*t anywhere and the crowd just freaks out. hip hop heads love it, techno heads love it, even your girlfriend loves it. we coupled it with rods simple but ultra effective remix of the eurythmics classic, >sweet dreams<. when the catch an attitude tour dropped in on our club in glasgow, a-trak dropped this beast for all of 30 seconds and people went nuts. bannanas even. you could argue that the eurythmics remix thing is overdone and outdated, but if you did so, wed know for sure you hadnt heard rods version. anyway... we tracked it down and got it on the flip, so really this is more like a double a. both cuts are re-mastered (but still raw like the day they were made) and cut loud on heavy 12inch vinyl
