did you see that reckless kid sitting next to rebolledo at the wheel of a convertible, racing around the mexican countryside while chanting things about revenge and seduction? it is also him being the handsome gadabout restlessly rushing through the streets of barcelona, claiming that he gives nothing. and there is a possibility that maybe last weekend that very same boy bewildered your local dance grotto with hyperactive vigor. talking about monterreys daniel maloso and his fabled comeme collaborations with rebolledo (including the much acclaimed desierto ep), his colossal solo debut >hijos de jose< and his reputation for highly intense live action.

4 tracks, taken from the cd album! in >shortcake strategy<, fairytale-like melodies are backed with thought provoking harmonies that pave the way for an explicitly visual experience. we have been introduced to a new face of the berlin-based producer. shortcake is a simple recipe. it doesnt take a lot of planning or much thought or attention when preparing it, and in the end, it will be light, fluffy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying. falko might say the same about his approach to the creation of >shortcake strategy<, yet the end product sees his most dynamic and emotional productions to date, leaving us with the feeling that this comes from a strategy that requires far more thought, and is far more complicated than that of a sugary dessert.

young austrian label schonbrunner perlen team up with denis yashin for a brand new ep featuring remixes from echonomist and zanshin. the schonbrunner perlen label launched earlier this year, spawned from the local austrian electronic music scene that arose from viennas fifth district of the same name. focused on releasing quality electronic music with little regard for musical genre, the label, headed by ken hayakawa, has already been picking up attention with its first two releases from oberst & buchner and hayakawa himself.

2014 repress !! we think we do not have to introduce sven weisemann, but for all of you who are not familiar with his work... sven has released on top labels such as delsin, smallfish, echocord, liebe detail and maybe the label he is mostly associated with is mojuba records, which is based in berlin. his release for telrae starts with elapse a track so detached from everything and at the same time so earthly, it gains that mystic touch some trax radiate. it is again a timeless track on telrae what we think is a quality we strive for. light sway seems harder at first but turns out to be more melodic and light than elapse and so the title fits it just right!

keeping with tradition, the second italojohnson release of 2012 once again presents itself in the likeliness of a 12inch wax with three tracks. the one-track mind repeats the same funk-nationalistic character of italojohnson and once more shows its simplicity. this tune comes to its rite where it is loud and dirty but even headz sitting at home will be able to feel the sun rise. boom shakalaka. the double-track side has some surprises in store for its listeners. for those in the know, the first track is also known as >bootytrack<. this track always pushes the low end to the limit and under the right circumstances guarantees some hip swing. number two may sound familiar, but even if you dont know its rootz, youll still be down with each other

the parameters of musical possibility are vast on valgeir sigurdssons third lp, architecture of loss. the music flows from no notes at all to lyrical, folk-like melody, from spare, acoustic sound to dense digital intervention. originally composed for the same titled ballet by stephen petronio. architecture of loss is a powerful work in its own right in which valgeir works from a broad palette of absences.

the layabouts are anything but. 2012 marks leigh darlow and alex paschalis 10th year together and they have never been so in form or demand. their cast iron reputation for quality deep soulful house – house music forged with feeling and real purpose – continues, impressively, to grow.
rhythm master darlow and guitarist cum orchestrator paschali first met in 2001– in home city london – off the back of various projects in the same studio space. in time, their mutual love of expressive house music would lead to cult licks feelin right and the way i feel, sizzling material for kenny dope gonzalez and hot-to-trot remixes of dj spinna, da lata, dj spen and robert owens, and soulsearcher.

already on the decks for a couple of years and a established regular dj at schwarzes schaf (the black sheep) in augsburg (along with daniel bortz), dominik marz now also shows his talent as a sensitive and highly talented producer. after his resent debut on leipzigs infamous o*rs label the >shmoozen ep< is his first release on pastamusik. leon holstein provided production support during the studio sessions. the tracks stand out with relaxed and at the same evermore deeply moving tone. while it sounds so effortless and easy, each of these three pieces contains a great deal of high tension that gets its audience inevitably into the mood to swing. dominik is on his way to provide lessons in creating lascivious beats and enchanting atmospheres which make us wait for his next emotional strikes

downtown party network from lithuania have been behind some serious releases and remixes over the last few years. combining disco influences with a knack for crafting weighty and warm deep house of the highest order… for their iib debut they have produced a duo of dreamy, melodic and irresistable vocal house gems which stand tall in their own right. as ever, the iib team have drafted in some seriously heavyweight remixers. veteran uk producer richard norris aka the time & space machine has delivered a truly superb rework of >the returning<. bringing the live elements of the track to the fore and unleashing a dazzling eyes closed on the dancefloor moment, and a bit of a classic in our humble opinion! finally scandanavian disco legend prins thomas takes on the same track and transforms it into an epic, spacious mix, underpinned by a widescreen acid bass and relentless, building groove.

with its title track heralded as ‘essential new tune by jamie jones & seth troxler on bbcs radio 1, shall ocins tribute to summertime ep on leftroom is tipped to be a crucial asset in record crates this autumn.

there s only one thing that matches a new my love is underground 12 - a remastered pressing of one of the label s certified hits! paris underground trax volume 1 was one of the records that catapulted the french label into the spotlight - at the time produced anonymously, it later emerged that mr brawther was the man behind the four retro house cuts. it s a wonderful homage to the deeper strains of 90s new jersey, nyc underground and sexy thing remix still smack of kerri chandler at his most bumping, with fat pads, sultry vocals and gritty basslines. the b-side features uptempo gem hardcore deep house , while gtfo! glides along with warm, embracing chords. if you missed out first time round, don t make the same mistake again.

carl craig aka paperclip peoples seminal debut single oscillator remixed by sebastien san into a precision-driven electro rampage, balanced out with a bit of string sophistication. fresh and timeless at the same time

neon is the theme for the summer and this is what its about! h.o.s.h. and malonda have already shown us on their last cooperation ep on diynamic what pop can sound like nowadays. it s fresh, its true and its impressively original. thats what no one is all about. same also goes for woohoo which is done in cooperation with diynamics sexy boys from norway ost & kjex. as a bonus the b side features dub versions of both tracks.

the story begins somewhere far away from awareness and rational thought. our main characters plays the roles of lost but not aimless arrows of pictures. pictures made out of sub atomic movements, amplified through breathable air and finally fragmenting its energy into space. we see the the sun go down in the ocean, the purple and red colors and finally the majestic sight of whales plowing the water in the horizon. it has been many years, in fact, so many years that we are now back again to the same point time. it is like an infinite loop, never loosing pace and determination.

the ep kicks off with empire of dust, an epic and brooding electro beast with powerful, mechanoid drumwork and majestic synth vistas that manages to be euphoric yet dark and grounded at the same time. it was this track whose intent later gave rise to the shape and form of the other 3 tracks on the empires ep.

sarrass returns with a new single taken from his forthcoming album, dirty gear. the a side is the spacefunk remix, by sarras, of a new day, a slo-mo fantasy of the original. this is such a feel-good track. the b side is the full length original mix only available on this single. an edit of the original version will appear on the album. classic sarras trademarks dirty and shiny all at the same time, brilliant tension building, never ends up where you think it will.

you & me is an album, which is here to extend the listeners summer. the concept of collaboration is even expanded on the cover artwork. a team of seven graphic artists led by johannes timbernagel interpreted the same template of jacobs face in their specific style. to bring them all together johannes texturized a 3d-model of jacobs head with a collage of all the drawings.

chicken lips are back with a new release on southern fried records. d.r.o.m.p (don’t rain on my parade) is a disco inspired groove that draws on the nyc eighties vibe that has always been at the heart of the lips work, with guest vocalist charmaine making up the line up on this outing.
it comes with a stunning set of remixes, as always andy from the lips has created an emperor machine interpretation that is darker and more cosmic than its original, dean does the same job under his the rhythm odyssey moniker, providing a jerky acidic house dub for the deeper floors. old pal headman turns in his classic slo-mo tight grooves, new kids amine edge & dance go deep as you like in the same vein as their diynamic releases and finally sfr favourite sona vabos delivers one of his finest remixes to date, with this bouncy floor filler.

the 2nd in future classics 7inch cover series. cadillacs cover of daft punks >too long< pulls the tempo down, brings out the tropical mallets, brings the same catchy bass lines and crooning vocals that you remember from the original. new navy have stripped out all the electronic elements of the telepopmusik original and replaced with their signature clean bright guitars,island percussion and ben mcinerneys rich vocals.

mark henning is back! back on cityfox! a classic acapella and marks distinctive sound collide, result-ing in a huge tune, sounding old school and fresh at the same time. not just the vocals are telling a story here, the synths and bassline add their part to complete the track. the second original trojan is the secret weapon and club bomb, the dark side of the release, because too much sunshine is never healthy. afrilounge take it a step deeper and its big string melody sounds as clean as and sparkles like the sunrise itself. the 1998 edit incorperates the rhythms and vibes of classic house and techno from the era when it all began. thick, groovy basslines and pulsing pads laid out over infectious percussion make this track an instant classic.

in 2011 it got a little quiet around the co-productions of fraenzen texas and ruede hagelstein aka the cheapers. but since the beginning of the new year the lights dont go out in their studio doing beats and sound. next to releases on areal records and bar25 the uy063 was born. title of the name giving a-side goes back on a quote from paris hilton who wants to tell with >amazeballs< how super cool she finds things. anyway the two artists made it real with their concise bassline which will make the people reliably squeak more than hobby djane hilton. on the b-side things turn a bit more severe: egyptian summer quotes with samples the arabic spring in africa and produces a revolutionary ground mood which has never been heard before. on b2 however there are the cheaperesque absurdities on the microfon like we know them. depositing skillfully their own vocals in the belly of a hungry electro monster.

a1 bassline, comes with a new release on his own imprint source unknwn, slur b/w slingback. his latest release >why do you< out on claude von strokes dirtybird, following the huge success of the buoyancy/falsehood ep on the same label, both releases were met with glowing reviews. his musical aspirations originate from genres such as garage, and drum and bass.

the special edition lp on double 180 gram vinyl in gatefold cover.

this single-side vinyl, pressed in 100 cps limited edition, is the happy ending of one of the most played tracks from our friends djs and strictly grooves followers. >sweet pussy pauline< is a classic, an hit that increases over the time, in months of gigs between berlin and reggio emilia, london and garda lake. our job is to make good music and share it with those who appreciate it, but this time we have done much more, because sweet pussy pauline has become a true piece of art in the hands of tatiana festi, who designed directly on record, label to label, 100 unique pieces. tatiana is a very renowed artist, becoming bigger and bigger thanks to her brilliant style, its creatures, its sensual girls, with languid eyes and provoking mouths. and though in acid colors, bright and pop, painted with a meticulous technique and surprising signs of felt pen, all have something of the femme fatale and at the same time, victims of love.

hey, i am godzilla kebab - st. petersburg / russia based electronic dance-music record label.

this release is total fire, it embodiies the feelings of the current dancefloor climate, and takes you back to the days of early house at the same time. deep hypnotic tones, musically & rhythmically. already a hit at inner rhythm. its an honour to release an isoul8 track, and especially one with such a powerfull meaning, its time for >change< - play it loud, say it proud!

we are very glad to have on the same record three of the most influenced artists for the kitties of suara. ramon tapia is a familiar name for us. his remix for uner & coyus summer hit up & run is still a top tune of many floors around the world.

last years tbg01 was charted by german djane ellen allien and broadcasted by gilles peterson of bbc-international fame - amongst others. the second installment (with the slightly confusing catalog-number tbg04) changes its appearance from white-label 12 inch in a black & white gatefold cover to heavy white vinyl in a multicolored disco-sleeve. the labels patron arthur boto conley showcases the work of obscure 1980s producer clifford trunk. the lo-fi dance and ambient tracks origin from a tape which was hand to conley by trunk during a brief encounter at düsseldorfs ratinger hof in 1986. depicted on the cover you can see italian designer ettore sottsass work for the fashion company esprits european headquarter which opened up the same year. clifford trunk was working for the sottsass associati from 1982 on and had a leisure time obsession for drum-computers and sample synths. what a serendipity! - limited to 333 records.

for this second release the new parisian label street knowledge choose to produce two young native italians djs. peter jd and francys met in a small city in the south of italy, both evolving on the music scene since they are 14. peter is bringing the detroit house music touch whereas francys the 80s 90s music sound. from this collaboration is born the connection ep. where two different worlds find each other in a common space, connection ep brings different ideas of sound at the same time, by one side following a dry techno line with pumping drums and solid grooves, by the other side warmer and deeper, crossing hypnotic detroit flavored synths, chicago house, organic elements and chromatic female vocals. to make this release totally international jenifa mayanja from connecticut and the greek quell are delivering two remixes that should make a bomb effect on all the dance floors.

in the context of shigetos debut lp lineage, >huron river drive< functions as a respite of sorts, a brief stop on the roadside of a very personal into the past. but as this single release proves, it also stands alone as a pleasantly understated piece of electronic beauty. the track swells slowly from the simple chord sequence of the intro into a lushly textured slice of late-night atmospherics – with more than a hint of jazz to be found in the brushed percussion and quietly tinkling electronic piano – and then receding back into the same sequence as the track draws to a close.

a shuffling mix of acoustic guitar riffs, licks, natural percussion and of course razs well known melancholic vocal lines all come together to generate a country folk feeling of the 60s. a dampened kick drives the energy deep and harmonicas seep into our minds and set our soul on fire. a fresh track for a hot summer day on the lake. acid pauli takes the track and acidizes it by adding, yep, acid lines and a very direct kick. the track gains more of a main time vibe, heightened energy and deeper bass allow this track to hold its own in a variety of set styles. the final mix is an open air anthem delivered from the sorry entertainers m. rux and lotti. using percussion of the same natural flavor and incorporating dirty synth lines, the two produce a heavier mix worthy of both dancefloors and home listening.

our seleccion natural compilation series is back in shape with this 6th instalment, featuring as always music from our all star team: oscar mulero, exium, christian wunsch and reeko.four fine cuts of futuristic techno, each one with its own particular mood and feel.the release starts with reverberation by oscar mulero, an intense workout beginning with a straight and dark beat, salted with precise sub bass frequencies. the track grows and evolves till fm bass galore takes over and synth drums and white noise infect the arrangement, taking intensity to peak levels.exium show their electro side in the second track no sign of weakness. they depart from 4x4 beats on behalf of broken beats with an industrial flavour and the traditional drones, dark atmospheres and moving arrangements they are known for.christian wunsch reveals his darker side in sleeper cell, based on an enormous kick, side by side with sharp hats, digital percussions and dark and sticky noises.lynx is reekos input into this 12inch. complex and intricate rhythms, thick textures, multiple layers of drums and a constantly evolving structure, dark and sharp at the same time.an excellent sample of contemporary techno created by four of the best european producers of the moment.dont miss it.

after last years very popular and widely acclaimed album >severant<, kuedo returns with this emotionally epic, dancefloor detonator of a track originating from the same sessions.

nice price deal !!! being in the same gene pool as pat sharpes hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young djs career off course - deep in the discos of pop trash. fortunately for metaphi / metske, although still benefitting from the same glossy 90s locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to metaphis archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, idm, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. as metske the bpms hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, slow train blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of howlin wolf. at the same tempo spin states delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: sega mega drive boss level business. metaphis taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically wigflex over sharpflex, and in terms of nationality its mongrel, half notts, half eastern europe. with concious mentis hes keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

being the hopeless romantics we are here at circus company, when we fall for an artist we tend to do it head over heels. you may have witnessed this in the past with some of our dearest protégés, from dave aju to nicolas jaar. now we are embarking on the same kind of whirlwind affair with franck roger, the glow only just retreating from our cheeks after he won our hearts with the i take you up ep. like a well-seasoned casanova, franck has found the perfect way to follow up that first date with an even deeper reflection of himself as an artist, leaving us flustered and quite simply stunned by his charm.

ready to get weird this summer? matthew dekay and lee burridge certainly are with the launch of their second imprint in 6 months following the success of their first label all day i dream. while adid represents their love of all things emotional and melodic and embraces thier signature sound perfect for their outdoor parties of the same name get weird will see releases geared towards the music they play after dark. a place to showcase more dubby, techy, slinky and sultry rhythms to hypnotize dancefloors when the sun goes down.
