funny a side!! the danish scene has evolved a lot over the last years, with acts like trentemøller, martinez and whomadewho. the new label tartelet records is rising from the horizon of the copenhagen club culture. tartelet records is founded by fredski (the man behind the greatest copenhagen parties ) and tomboy (aka tomas barfod, dj, producer and drummer of whomadewho, with previous releases on turbo, kitsuné , get physical and gomma). the two founders themselves are also behind this first tartelet release, which is a true showcase of what the label stands for: tech-house with multiple flavors like ghetto, funk, disco and a bit world. the a-side ‘do the tartelet’ is a schizophrenic yet effect full combination of sampled horn-madness, hand claps and techno bass. on the flip side ‘cereal’ sounds as if james holden and paul jonson were trying to make minimal house together. the future releases from tartelet promise remixes from world-league remixers (tba) and tracks by danish kleshmer-techno-reggae band analogik do the tartelet

new full length from seminal industrial band meat beat manifesto (aka mbm). led by sound sculptor and producer extraordinaire jack dangers, mbm is continually evolving. its tenth album pushes musical boundaries further than it has before, creating a masterpiece of electronica and dubstep. meat beat manifestos constantly evolving musical invention has generated a long string of influential futuristic classics, including such tracks as god o.d., psyche out, helter skelter, radio babylon, edge of no control and its the music. the single, prime audio soup (from the album actual sounds and voices) was featured in the sci fi fantasy blockbuster the matrix and on its platinum selling soundtrack.

opener >playing for keeps< is an exhilarating trip, centered around a swinging mapped by crunching beats. chopped and skewed, pulsing electro house melodies fight for attention with sampled cuts of big band, tiring to a slow and heavy halt before picking themselves up and punching it out to close. >playing for daddy’s girl< is an equally agitated reprise, introducing distorted 8-bit melodic tones and a throbbing deep bass into the fray as a sampled audience cheers on the ensuing battle for the listeners attention. on the b side, the mole transforms >playing for keeps< into a driving house number, with subtly escalating melodic synth growing into a deep and hypnotic dark electro sweat fest

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.

burning electro techno by alex gopher !! incl remixes by just a band and the subs

luscious, epic and british are not words you would usually associate with an emo band. but i was a cub scout are not your ordinary emo outfit - they re two hardcore souls with passion and emotion dripping out of every pore. and its this passion that has captivated audiences up and down the country. the duo, made up of todd marriott and william bowerman, have come a long way in the 18 months they ve been together. they ve supported bands like babyshambles, panic at the disco, editors and forward russia, played to packed out audiences at download and the carling reading and leeds festivals and made one of the most life affirming albums of 2008, i want you to know that there is always hope, which has been produced by hugh padgham . in a climate of indie band soup, i was a cub scout stand apart. a very british band raised on a diet of american music. a duo who manage the feat of being both indie and rock, punk and prog, small yet big...

first single to be lifted from the forthcoming lp is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. a wholly original mashup of electronics, my heart rate rapid is sheer falsetto laden, drum battering brilliance. although metronomys elliptical, insidious, multi coloured art pop sounds nothing like colognes legendary purveyors of prog disco, can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. add early brian eno, sparks, devo, talking heads, soft cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid and you realise that you cant think of any, because metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.

second set of remixes for this genre straddling track, featuring the vocal talents of soul sensation in waiting, ben westbeech. marrying the kraakers future funk and hip hop beats with a sensational perfomance from the young bristolian made this track a sure bet as the first choice single although the band did release a couple of warm up eps to remind everyone why their debut album boogie angst was a worldwide success. here trevor loveys, mainstay of the dubsided label, originator of the fidget house sound alongside switch, sinden and jesse rose and partner of herve in the huge selling speakerjunk project, turns in a hot vocal remix that pumps the track towards a different dancefloor altogether. he also found time to serve up a tasty dub that neatly crosses the divide between bassline and techy fidget house. one for the festivals this summer no doubt!

love inc minor is a limited edition label - they are planning 10 releases, all limited to 500 copies. and when 10 eleases are done ... that s it! starting in 2007 polly ester (voc, bass) and yossarian (drums,voc) created a new sound by not surrounding themselves with tons of equipment but being a real jack-in-the-box band, surprising and hysterical. drink! yell! dance! file under: neo cosmic disco no-new-nouveau wavefunk

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

electro remixes for this danish indielectrock band. dune have been around since 2001 and they have played more than two hundred shows to date in denmark and abroad. the young band stands for synthie influenced high energy rock with crisp guitars and fantastic hooks. their much praised debut album >we are in there, you are out here< was released in october 2007

ltd 7inch release of the norwegian indie/pop band - includes riton turbo disco remix

in the year of punk 1977, the jams exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. the raw, unfettered aggression of the bands approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the mod movement of the mid 60s. singer/guitarist paul weller comes off like a cross between joe strummer and the young pete townshend, bashing unreservedly through slow down, one of the r&b tunes that inspired the original mods. weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture over the raging three chord attack of bassist bruce foxton and drummer rick buckler. the pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky arrangements, which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.

tuomi, as well as stefan goldmanns 1st ever production for a band! tuomi is a trio of voice, piano and double bass, lead by singer kristiina tuomi. touring the globe from europe to bahrain to south korea, tuomi perform a unique blend of superb songwriting and acoustic chamber composition. for their macro debut, the trio is joined by live strings and an array of electronics, synths and drum machines, taking their signature concept to the dancefloor in full effect. the result is stunningly adventurous house music. the title track >expense of spirit< comes with a mind blowing bass line, acting as a catchy counterpoint to the deep acoustic chords and strings. the b side also holds a minimalistic dub version. >mourning eyes< and >expense miniature< reach far beyond the dancefloor, being another prime example of macros experimental direction. a pioneering four track ep showcasing what should be possible at the junction of acoustic and electronic music today. tuomi are: kristiina tuomi - voice carsten daerr - piano carlos bica - double bass featuring: margherita biederbick - violin hannah klein - viola stefan goldmann - synth bass, drum machines, processing

when i first started making the drum on my mpc it sounded like a battle of drums i then added some stabs from the machines, trying to make it sound like the oldschool chicago tracks. this track is all about editing, drum programming and of course the inimitable tap repeat touch that only the mpc can generate. the end result is ninted house, a pure floor killer for all you real house heads. the clash is not a reference to the band but i felt the track goes well with ninted house it has the same mpc groove. stabs and hip hop sampled voices that remind us of those kind of tracks, where editing and sound mixing are more important than the musical elements. its that breadth in house music that i love. enjoy those two floor killers and dance ur ass off! franck roger
