dj support: david morales,tony humphries, grant nelson, michael gray and more

new 9-track ep and inaugural release from detroit label 100 limousines.

support for my life at 45 part 1 came from huey morgan and craig charles on bbc 6music the second instalment of dr rubbefunk s my life at 45 series. canvas cathedral on the a-side is a jazzy all-instrumental affair that will have you head-nodding like nobody s business. over uptempo hip-hop flavoured beats reminiscent of early 90s golden era hip hop, chopped and looped riffs from sax man ben castle give way to rolling melodies and rapid fire solos. on the flip, unstoppable gospel powerhouse izo fitzroy is here, flexing her soulful tones over one of the most elastic basslines ever pressed on wax. underpinned by signature laidback drums that groove like a classic rhythm section of yesteryear, tasteful guitars and chiming electric piano weave their way between izo s lyrics and, bingo! that s a little blahzay right there! always keen to give the djs a bonus, the good doctor even squeezes some canvas beats onto the 7- for good measure.

3rd lp of barrington levy

seven years into its celebrated journey, life and death assembles its third and most adventurous compilation to date - displaced soundtracks. for the first instalment in a new series, dj tennis has given free rein to some of his most trusted contemporaries, enabling many of todays most respected dance music producers to display their hidden talents as composers. gathering music from a long-aborted film, the collection stands as another bastion of life and deaths perpetual evolution. duncan gray embraces dissonance, black merlin, appleblim and artefakt go interstellar and fango channels post-punk squat music. hades rocket showcases the expertly-sequenced synth work that has graced simian mobile discos illustrious career, while redshape revisits all the right sides of 80s wave and library music. danny daze and synth-savant kink embrace non-standard tempi with great success, while axel boman delivers sitar-laced gospelhouse without a bass drum. elsewhere, your favourite producers favourite producer, stimming, teams up with pianist lambert and the pair learn to fly. inspired and challenging, life and death ventures into their eighth year confidently, constantly evolving without compromise.

end to end, back to back solid gold soul & funk bombs are what s contained on this slab of wax! that s right, gwen s 1979 lp has lashings of dope drums, wriggly bass synths, brass and of course, that voice! absolutely stellar tracks on here - all this love that i m giving - famously sampled by cassius on their infamous smash feeling for you is actually the album opener! the whole album unfolds from this point and we re treated to the classy, string laden i can only think of you next. all in all this album has always been one of those rare lp s that has soul fans frothing at the mouth, traditionally a very tough one to track down and always commanding high prices on the collectors market. released on tk disco s cat offshoot label and produced by the equally legendary betty wright (!) this is one sure shot that you ll need on your shelf and on your turntable if you re into this kind of flavour!

cgi records is extremely proud to be presenting the new ep from oakland via-bermuda based artist russell e.l. butler. i m dropping out of life are 4 cuts of essentialist dance music that can provide an ecstatic escape from the drudges of professional life for all who so rightly seek it. as russell himself elaborates, the title has been on my mind a lot, since i almost lost my life in the ghost ship fire and watched as many of my friends lost theirs. i came up with the title several months ago, in fact 2 of the tracks were shopped in a producer s group that johnny (nackt) and chelsea (cherushii) were a part of, both of whom i lost in the fire. this release is about a commitment to life. the life that i refer to dropping out of, is a life where dreams are put on hold, where concessions are made in order to just survive. but that comes at a cost, one that is far too great for me to pay at this point. i wrote this poem, it ll come as an insert with the record.

after his debut album connecting the dots at the end of 2010 and several remixes in 2011, h.o.s.h. finally returns to diynamic music with some fresh productions and a statement: life is music is life. thats the name of his upcoming, long awaited ep, showing new sides of his verified and openminded taste in music. h.o.s.h. presents us three astonishing original takes on vocal music, all featuring the soulfull singer malonda. the opener what do you want me to say? is an immediate hymn consisting of an emotive vocal supported by sexy percussions, an impulsive cowbell and a deep, pumping bass. totally focussing on getting people to move. this one will stick right into your head. on the a2 h.o.s.h. again introduces a straight groove but this time he combines it with repetitive vocals, hypnotic synth-sounds building up tension and even some slight strings. hidden pleasures is an instant viber. the finisher high! is slow and a true groover with a gripping bassline, drifting melodies and a vocal singing a short story about those special moments on the floor that we all know. in the end h.o.s.h. has managed to re-introduce himself without even focussing on this.

he has been called the baron of the beats, a knight of life, the life of the night, or even occasionally plain mike gamwell, to you and i though, he is only knightlife.
he is cutters records secret weapon and he is back with the 3rd tome in his royal club catalogue, serves you right / otherway.
the new 12 inch follows on from knightlife i (2007) and knightlife ii (2009), funnily enough, both promising quests into the future of dance with a healthy respect of the past from the melbourne-based producer. with a string of distinguished remixes in between times, serves you right / otherway again sees gamwell forge onwards and upwards, adding yet more strings to his accomplished bow.

for berkane sol 18 we present the vinyl debut of the hugely talented aleks zen. he calls his outfit >neon bounty< and its easy to hear why. his brightly coloured music is like the soundtrack to a thrill seekers ride through the downtown areas of a tropical metropolis – sensuous but edgy, and properly booming on the right kind of car stereo. his riddims are propulsive and a joy to dance to, bringing together the best aspects of both house and dubstep.

this debut lp by innergaze is chock full of rugged hand played analog synths lines, primitive drum machines, haunting vocals, and psychic jewelry. call it synthwave, call it punk, call it metaphysical body music or at this juncture whatever one sees fit, but this duos music goes beyond naming names for the sake of it. from the freaky, unrelenting opener >no shame< to the chris & cosey-esque >la la la<, this record creates many aural worlds to inhabit and explore. the title track >we are strange loops< bubbles at a slow, hazy drug induced bpm, while >illusions<, with its distorted almost guitar-like synth lines and stripped down 808 programming, brings things right back to the dance floor. the ideas and feelings executed here are a direct outpouring of what happens when the machines are turned on, played and recorded.

we are proud to welcome the legend that is todd terry. rightly considered as one of the pioneers of the house scene, his work & reputation over the years are second to none, and with an abundance of chart hits & underground classics, its no wonder todd earned the nickname of >god<. a day in the life was one of the early todd productions under his black riot moniker, brought back up to date 20 years on and featuring an exclusive 2009 mix from the >god< himself

2003 journey into nitelife by kenny hawkes!!

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20

nice price deal !!! receiving major support from the likes of tony humphries, cj mackintosh, danny krivit, johnny fiasco, richard earnshaw, mark grant, colette, nicolas matar and much more...its rare these days that a song can rock the dance floor while maintaining quality and integrity but also leave you inspired by the message in the music. life is the music is a prime example of this combination. londons sonny j mason has done just that and delivers a refreshing uplifting vocal with positive meaning. this song has the right combination of energy and soul to make you move while singing along, because tomorrow aint promised, so dance, cause life is the music. miguel migs salted dub deluxe strips it down and moves into slightly more techy territory with a bouncing bassline and dubbed out cut up vocal snippets. miguel migs bump the tech dub delivers a breakbeat groove with a gritty electro ish bassline filtering in and out while layered sweeping synth pads glide on top. the original version is a midtempo soul stomper with classic hip hop and r&b flavor. accessible to radio and club djs alike this song has definite crossover appeal.

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard
