for fans from burial... hamburg based fauxpas musik imprint is born to deliver vinyl only high quality music as limited editions. our idea is to share the music we love with our same-minded fellows. as vinyl is the only medium for real listening pleasure both in clubs and at home, you won t find our releases in any other format than vinyl. we are very proud to present our first release with desolates heroic death ep. desolates visonary idea of sound has a tremendous breadth and adroit touch for a producer of his experience, incorporating elements of modern classical with minimized dub, deep house and detroit techno. his outstanding previous releases under other monkiers are set to be future classics

casxio (ca see oh) are a refreshing devine fusion of disco, funk and rock n roll. reminiscent of a sound that first infiltrated ourairwaves over a quarter of a century ago, casxio is what happens when prince, the talking heads, and sly stone all get their heartsbroken by the same girl.

2009 was a great year for these days records, and 2010 promises to be even better. the platform stood out for its innovative yet functional club sound and unique artwork concepts. the new year begins with a new split series under the name universal consciousness, based on the idea of connection between all things, and that all things have been coordinated, and they combine to make up the same universe. the first part is dedicated to two very different takes on spiritual, cosmic space techno. on the a-side argys >sometimes im blind< generates a long and uplifting emotional climax, which features a solo that will forever stay in your heart. the track was recorded at the end of 2008, and despite numerous offers to release the record elsewhere, nothing was finalised and the recording never saw the light of day. soon after the birth of his own label, it naturally fit the platform and seemed a perfect way to start the new year. on the flip side, sheffield born alexander ross, brings forth a cavernous techno piece awash with reverberation and spacial echos that brings a driving yet non the less emotionally captivating moment perfectly in balance with the depth of the a-side.

electric city (original) is a classic industrial techno track combining the driving force of relentless beats and bass with the huge rooms the that roland drum machines open up when you put massive reverb on them. its hypnotic and psychotic sounds appeal to the primal side, driving you to forget about coolness and unconditionally express yourself to the beat. uplifiting and dark at the same time, electric city echoes the high tech metropolitain dystopia we live in today. >echoes< presents itself with a forward marching industrial beat, piercing synth lines, and sweat inducing rhtymic patterns. its psycho bleeps are pure industrial funk. when the vocal sets in youll feel the relief on the dancefloor as the straight forward groove brings out the primal need to put your energy and emotion into expression: dance. function s remix of electric city is dark !!

rainer trueby with his first 12 for compost black label - and yes, an album will be due in late 2010 as well. this 3 track ep was co-produced by his new studio partner danilo plessow aka motor city drum ensemble. livin in the music features vanessa freeman contains the same well known rhodes chords as his recent bootleg to know you.

third ep from the talented nebraska on rush hour... after the two variation eps, a weekend of my own brings us four strong house tracks.side a features the deeper tracks. the lush soho grand oozes a touch of magic, while the snappier >a weekend of my own< has perfect late night drive to it. side b opens with the disco-fied >time has come pt. 1<. this is peak-time business. the same can certainly said of >masala dosa<, this infectious jazz groove rides on a finger snapping bounce. bam! for fans of rick wade, theo parrish, trusme et al

arms goes japan! on the seventeenth cut we present a mindblowing japanese line up, which will take you straight to the land of the rising sun. we welcome the talented newcomers asagaoaudio and kyoudai itsumo, both part of the new wave of japanese industrial techno producers. beside fresh blood we also present some experience on the black gold. takaaki itoh and go hiyama have been partners in crime on stage for a while now and its about time they share the same vinyl on arms. prepare for some cutting edge, razorsharp dark metallic rhythms and sonic structures straight from japan.

every year hundreds of thousands of dance records are being made and released. with the output from dance producers at an all-time high and with so many records crossing over it takes something a bit special to break-through from underground groover to worldwide mover. 2010 is the year of >sidney samson – riverside (lets go!)< on data records.
the facts above dont lie, this isnt just a dance record, its a dancefloor phenomenon and theres good reason for the comparisons with >day & night< by kid cudi vs. crookers and fedde le grands infamous >put your hands up for detroit<. its got exactly the same appeal and has had exactly the same effect, i.e. unstoppable support and praise from the coolest underground djs all the way up to the global superstar djs and via every european summer holiday resort. sidney samson is a name you simply cannot ignore right now.

bristol-born and london-based producer rekordah takes charge of lo fi funk records second instalment. as well as running the independent label pollen, rekordah also promotes a series of parties of the same name with efa (which have hosted artists of the caliber of mike slott and slugabed among others), and crafts his own brand of cosmic, dismembered hip hop, in that wonky style everyone is raving about.
>cherry coke< on the a side, is full of bubbling sounds that evoke the soda drink your nephew drinks while he plays with that atari you found in the attic, played over a dilla style beat, whilst in the flip side we find >butternut<, in which p-funk synthesisers rise side to side with space age special effects, frantic syncopated drums and 22nd century boom bap.

>all tracks are great! will definately play it... pianos on the beach is amazing.<
- robin (david gilmour girls)
>yeah, as i said, i think its your best edit 12 so far. the choice of tracks is great, >pianos on the beach< is the kind jam youd like to hear on a dancefloor late at night, i guess this could have been played by francis grosso or mancuso. same for >look at you<, fantastic track, very emotionnal, whis has something of an anthem. keep on sending me such a thing. (btw, i m a fan of canyons label, great stuffs)<
-cosmo vitelli
>this is the kind of release that makes me excited to dj again...and again. theres something here for the beginning, middle, and end of a great night.<
-alex frankel (holy ghost!)
>loving that piano jam mister renault - perfect to drop just when you have em where you want em towards the end!<
-jim stanton (horse meat disco)
>nice one jacques, sounding good man!<
-mark e

>love these - more great edits from jacques. have been playing them out with great results!<
-prince language

supported by renato cohen, danny tenaglia, sian, patrick pulsinger, axel bartsch, bukaddor & fishbeck, orde meikle, kiko... let us introduce the new trapez artist deepchild with his brand new 2 track ep on vinyl. deepchild writes bass-heavy machine-music for broken people, disjointed booty-bass for backroomdreamers, fuelled with sweat, jackin funk and tears. >backroom< is such a track, a warm, raw, urgent and sensual. techno at its finest, highlighting deepchilds voice stronger and more delicately than in the other track. his misch-masch of deep detroit futurism, southern-crunk and forgotten space-disco cut with a rusting razor-blade of german tech-minimalism and filtered through a personal collection of odd analogue equipment is a secretformula that has >backroom< come to life! the b-side >death panel my ass< is a masterpiece of a recording with a hell of a tricky production, cool vocal snippets, cool effects over dubs... well a busy track but at the same time at ease and deep.
deepchild is based in australia and has recorded for resopal in the past. he is playing worldwide and on trapez parties in 2010 !

hive audio is here – a brand new label, run by the makers of the infamous hive club, located in the the industrial quarter of zurich. the imprint was founded by samuel gmur and adrian wöllhaf, better known as animal trainer with some great releasing on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent, amongst others. zurich is not only party capital of beautiful switzerland, it is more and more becoming a habitat for talented and creative music producers and djs, who will now get a new international platform. releases will be held mainly by residents of the hive club itself – benja will be given the honour to start off with his track paradose. >paradose< impresses with a funky percussion loop, ultra-brief chords and scantily applied vocal snippets. benja keeps it dust-dry, leaving out every kind of frippery and lifting the track to a real &#64258,,oor-&#64257,,ller without any razzmatazz needed. on the &#64258,,ip we have a remix by christian burkhardt, who needs no further introduction. he turns the number into a real techno loop monster, which will catch you within a few beats, and then wont let loose again. hypnotic and twinkle-toed at the same time, his remix easily will suit any after hour or peaktime set to the same degree. christian burkhardt himself is also one of our favourite guests in the club. this is why, of course, we are double happy to welcome a hive club resident on our hive audio 001.

after the well received all creation 12s delsin records drops yotokos >wet ink<. yotoko are shifty & domu (jcr, 2000black, archive). yotoko stands for a perfect fusion between broken beat, techno and soul.
their album is not about breaking barriers, but it is their own little twisted version of what they call techno. for yotoko techno can be heard in everything, so as such it is all techno. domu and shifty are influenced by lots of different stuff, soul, jazz, disco, hip hop, techno, some old break beat, new broken stuff.. as well 20 pence mad charity shop finds.. the album is about yotoko making music they think is cool and realizing that all this music is the same no matter what the bpm or groove.
domu started as sonar circle for 4 heros reinforced label. later on active as domu for labels as archive and 2000 black and together with archive label boss volcov for the jcr-label with their album as rima. shifty is domus longtime comrade, making his first musical public appearance as yotoko. the albums artwork will be done by amsterdams machine, who already took care of the kindred spirits releases.

slowly but surely, a constellation of young artists have expanded around ali, basti, philipp santé. in the night, they share the same decks thanks to the newly created souvenir booking entity. during the day, they swap beats and samples in the studio of tiefschwarz located in prenzlauer berg, building up a new creative energy, which is giving birth to the 23rd release of souvenir on vinyl.adam port, re.you and rampa, already had their own shines this year on souvenir. now, its the turn of &me (front room, keinmusik) and fischer & kleber to release a new must-have record permeated with the best groove coming from the german capital city. on the a-side, &me brilliantly hurts with bleed. he punches on the left with an unstoppable drum, weaves on the right with an hypnotic loop, that stirs mental alertness up, barks his anger with a digital whouah going fast and forward and compelling any dancer to incredible footwork. knocked out! robert fischer & niklas kleber had in common an electronic liveact discokonzentrat (high nrising records) and a band spurv laerke before bringing in their new project, fischer & kleber. they set with berki on the flipside the singular but no less enjoyable soundscape of a cathedral under construction. lightening up with deeply felt and almost religious whispers, the shrilling noises of computer-generated machine-tool, the mechanical and cold precision of a pitched down digital rock-drill, the duo turns >berki< into a canticle of the new millennium

4 track 12 with exclusive music to the forthcoming same titled album. swinger than doubt is already a popular track in their live performance, a bit in the vein of the st. germain classic rose rouge. ana is a percussive electronic cut with chants and reminds of certain villalobos/luciano productions push! features japanese mc twiggy. last track acid typhoon is on a acid house tip and has an oldschool chicago sample.

excellent chicago styled deephouse cuts with elements of soul , funk and disco too... very happy feeling.. very very serious dj food

the count & sinden release two more devastating club tracks in the form of strange things / elephant 1234. the release features two vastly different tracks showcasing the count & sindens eclectic taste and endless talents. with an infectious chorus sampling john holts early 70s lost reggae classic of the same name, the maverick duos strange things is a haunting yet energised roots meets old skool jungle anthem, set to get the temperature rising. strange things is backed with elephant 1234, a tweaked 4/4 cut that takes influences from the best in todays european and us electronic music scenes with a count & sinden twist... this is where dance music is right here, right now.

played by: gorge, hosh, alex keji, nick warren, agoria, coyu, oliver klein, osunlade...
beef records is proud to present another peak time tech house vinyl ep. >hann< is one of those tracks that are very hard to forget – catchy vocal, simple groove, groovy bassline and amazing sound scapes keeps every dancefloor busy. on remix duties we have the only greek dj who has been smashing international charts, producing world wide hits (like >jauce<) and touring at the same time. kreon gives hann extra twist, loose percussion and off time rhythms. fans of twisted techno will love this remix. another remixes are by our very own shades of gray who take hann on a bit more melodic journey and australian murat kilic who brings some great tech house chords and shakers to fulfill this package.

wurst are going from strength to strength with another killer 12inch, this time from ulysses. latin combo features pretty much no latin elements on first listen although we think we can hear a few claps and percussion samples from a charanga 76 cover of chic that might be influencing the title. both tracks feature dubbed out drums and a warm analog feel throughout making for a pleasant listen and two solid club tracks at the same time.

yc‘s adultnapper has built a reputation for himself that not only commands respect for his highly evolved production skills, but also for his unique musical visions that steer him down his own unique path. not interested in following the current pop-trends, adultnapper turns in a freaky two tracker using a sharp, modular and timeless electronic sound palette. ‚almost nothing‘ is a complex and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and endless tweaked out studio trickery. haunting smatterings of melody, synth texture and paranoid-funky vocals drop in and out of the mix as this deep acidic groover charms you from the inside. poker flat regular patrick chardronnet provides a wicked remix that begins along the same reduced, textural tip as the original, yet builds into a breathtaking organ led harmonic climax. dramatic, uplifting and main-room friendly chardronnet‘s remix opens up the spectrum once again as audiomatique continues to surprise. ‚white fingers black hair‘ is the b side jam from adultnapper. a skipping, similarly complex and meandering groove is jacked up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme that revolves around the track, amongst building strings and gated snares as its freaky climax is unveiled. super, off the wall stuff from nyc‘s chief mindwaper himself

this is the track that has been burning down the house this summer, this is punk-funk techno ... this is >fables and fairytales<. a deep, dark and wonderful cut of distorted house music from adam marshall and nicholas murray under the alias n/a featuring the voice of rosina… a creation that touches the heart, body and soul with an intensely passionate sound, producing one of the best crosstown rebels releases yet.
from the vocal chorus so hooky and cool - to the kind of bassline you will be humming hours after the club, this piece of lfo tech-funk brings adonis, the slits and the fatback band into the same room and melts them into one shining gem. falling horns and random stabs, a punk funk vocal that is truly infectious, crosstown rebels #54 grabs you at the beginning and doesnt let go for the next twelve minutes. a faultless anthem for the coming nights…
on the b side, the latest artist signed to rebels, the uniquely talented deniz kurtel, stretches the hook into a dubbed out trip of groove-infused techno. morphing and twisting the ferocious female voice to sensual whispers and heart-felt cries, she works more enchantment into this anthem and builds a serious groove for a dark room.

deep space acid ambient techno on a 10 track mini-album by roswell return, who made his debut in 2009 with the massive iftodex c0001 release. ten priceless detroit influenced techno excursions through electronic galaxies for adventurous djs and tripping psychonauts. available in a very limited vinyl pressing.

played by karotte !!! with his newest ep on wagon repair (ghosts in the ai - wag058), mathew jonson looks to both the past and future to create a stunning release. track 1 - ghosts in the ai - is the first solo production that was made in wagon repairs new berlin studios. finally, in a real place to work, and with a lot of new gear to play with, mathew focuses on evoking both the future and technology to wonderful affect. track 2 - technology - comes from mathews past as it was created around the same time as tracks like octagon came out on iiwii. originally, it was going to be the first cut on his debut album that he was planning to release. on the day that mathew was looking for a b-side track for the ghosts in the ai ep, his brother, nathan (hrdvsion), played it over the phone asking him why he had not released it, as it was one of nathans favourites. it worked much better than the other track that was going to be on here so thanks, hrdvsion. track 3 - the alchemist - comes from mathews involvement this summer producing the music score for the old classic silent film faust, which was screened, complete with cobblestone jazz playing the score live, at the 2009 timewarp festival. the alchemist was written for the scene when faust is working in his laboratory then walks out into the snow to summon the devil to help with his work. a fitting piece indeed!

new remixes ep for dops 2nd single on eklo, means great artists in the game.thats why we are really proud find of this one this 2 genius of the modern scene, bodycode aka portable andkalabrese.
on the a side, the bodycode remix of vsop is a superb deep floorish track, combine in the same time the energyin the detroit synth hooks and those phase beats which reminds the bodycodes unique grooves, and in the otherside, the deepness of this pads and vocals that we recognize on his last portable productions. a perfect combination from this double personnality artist, who bring here a sexy and deep mindtrip on eklo.
on the b side, the kalabrese remix of dein verlangen goes stripped down, superb re-interpretation of the track.the talented mysterious musician brought a deep and sexy bass, add recorded acoustics sounds, and playedsome horns & trumpets, who bring the track in another dimension, one more acoustic, where all the kalabreseunique swning take place along the track. i let u discover more by yourself the others mysterys inside those cuts.

a1) aller retour. indeed we do like it very much, when a tune is like a punch – and this one pushes tremendous. underlaid with a sharp kick later, the strongly-held bass line involving from a small stream to an all-compelling stream. on top we receive a very un-christian boot with some oriental like organ-pipes. what more can you expect. oh by the way- there is actually a river in lower saxony with the same name like the track – however has nothing to do with it. b1) nevermind. indicate left and right over. and then a lob shot instead of a straight shot. this is a little what nevermind feels like. an assault from the deep, with a soft climax rather than with brute force. our recommendation for phasing out after an extensive club night

for the second cassius records and to carry on with the youth speed, trouble, cigarettes adventure we give you four remixes done by talented producers across europe from milano italy… reset! we met the three kids from reset! in magazinni generale while playing, their set was powerfull but also full of respect and influences from hip hop, soul and dance music in general, we finished our sets back to back and since this day love them their trouble mix could have been done by the jbs if they were still twenty something and into house music… it rocks and never stopsno use to present the music from radio slave, the big difference with a majority of other producers is that we both can recognise his tracks in a few bars only, also in the way it streches to crazy length and takes you in a trance that could have come directly from lagos in 1973 matt embrace the same philosophy we all cherish at cassius records the no boundarys way hes more than minimal, more than electro more than techno he stripped down ystc to the max and his remix played at the good time on a good system is a true chicagoan infused gem then after chaos

two cool housy minimal slammers: this is 100% club music. we can see the tracks being played heavily by a lot of djs. relaxed but at the same time moving very rhythmically, both tracks have a modern way of getting the party going

first release from this exciting new spanish label focused on future synth beats with enough funk to appease george clinton. this is the first release too for the spanish beatmaker hybakusha, a pioneer of the skweee sound in spain. gameboy lover is a noisy 8 bit robotic skweee track which mixes chip tune drums and cutting edge filtered synths in a crazy groove. on the other side there is a mesak remix of the same track. for those of you who have been napping for the last few years, mesak is one half of the electro outfit mr velcro fastener, he has released solo material on dexters klakson label and is one of the most prominent heads on the skweee scene. his remix treatment takes the track into more spacey and deep territory, giving this record the official and personal stamp of the finnish skweee.

nope, this man is not a legend, yet! however he is in fact legendary already for his notorious live sets as well as a wide range of groundbreaking styles and sound he designed apart of the consensus way in the last 15 years. with his now presented astrodymics part1, richard bartz deals similar to the subway concept again with his past and transfers these late nineties space-disco drafts into the wonderful here and now. he delivers vivid funk-supercharged house which is at the same light as a feather and for sure a very sudatory matter. space-disco rules

badmotorfinger got lost amid the blockbuster success of nevermind and ten (all were released around the same time). but the fact is that, though they re all great records, badmotorfinger is much less accessible by comparison. not that it isnt melodic, but it also sounds twisted and gnarled, full of dissonant riffing, impossible time signatures, howling textural solos, and weird, droning tonalities. its surprisingly cerebral and arty music for a band courting mainstream metal audiences, but it attacks with scientific precision. part of that is due to the presence of new bassist ben shepherd, who gives the band its thickest rhythmic foundation yet and, moreover, immediately shoulders the departed hiro yamamotos share of songwriting duties. but its apparent that the whole band has greatly expanded the scope of its ambitions. and badmotorfinger fulfills them, pulling all the different threads of the bands sound together into a mature, confident, well written record. this is heavy, challenging hard rock full of intellectual sensibility and complex band interplay.

amplified introduces new kids on the block: the shake up connection. heading from the same town as fellow label artists amplified orchestra: chicago! their debut single you got me is a super-gorgeous, melancholic affair which sees 4 tracks suitable for dancefloor play. the tunes on this ep mark the shake up connections fine blend of samples, electronica and acoustics and they get on their mojo for sure: pitched-down guises and ready to rock. the immaculate production and frighteningly powerful build-up should prove it all. do not miss!

new judas tenth release sees the return of the electro house scenes bearded alpha male huoratron. as you might have learned from his previous release on new judas this ep is not one for the tender ears, this is hard banging madness from start to finish with every track having a huge potential of ending up on techno satans spotify playlist. that said, you dont have to be a worshiper of the dark lord to obey and enjoy the innovative force of this hi-fi genius sound crafts and the excellent production behind all the original tracks. mixhells remix of the title track adds a bouncier bongo flavored beat and passions splatterhouse version of the same is bound to make even the weakest hearts bust a dance attack.

how many years was it being said house music couldnt last? yet, in spite of all, it keeps reinventing itself again and again, and here is the perfect example. slavakis latest output is a true house track with deep atmosphere, straight-to-the point message, and classic chicago feel, bringing back the times when records were few and far between and not every two sounded the same. this one has it all - the melody that speaks to your soul, the beat that defines the rhythm of your heart, and the message that makes us all come together. having already found its way to ra charts and being supported by some of the greatest djs worldwide, please welcome this outstanding release from elusive rec., who proudly set themselves on the mission to make this music art again.

this 12 brings four typical deepart tracks, mastered to full quality. again they come in his typical, minimal lo-fi style, with the soul deep within. >monsoon< probably goes most abstract, a deeply funky combination of strings and beats. >n-w-2< combines the same ingredients, together with live guitar played by simon gayes. side b holds the more down-to-earth >questions< and goes spacey with >city life<. best deepart release since ages!

alex agore is dropping more of that great 90s influenced house tracks as on his on his debut releases a couple of months ago. that one sold out in a flash... and this is more of that same quality! classic tracks with warm chords (think rick wade, moodymann) deep basslines and pumping percussion. 4lux delivers another quality release!

this new outstanding enliven music release, called „the dust“, is a cooperation of the three french whizz kidsdop andenliven deep acoustics. they were throwing the old method of original+remix overboard and were developing two completly independent tracks which share the same underlying theme. the dop interpretation comes with a chorus which spins a web of harmony around the listener, the rest of the track is pure groove which leaves no quiet legs, the cherry on the cake is the charming and very sexy vocal by jonathan. the enliven deep acoustics version transports a unique atmosphere by a proper portion of funk. like a diamond on the ring

hakim murphy has been on a roll these past couple of years. he is on a roll and on a mission to take the chicago house music he loves into the future in the hakim style, staying true to the jack, groove, and feeling of chicago while at the same time exploring new territory and his own inner space. after his last ep on metamorphic, wiggles, hakim has gone on to produce a string of releases on labels such as his own synapsis records and remixes including a stunning reinterpretation of the classic welcome to chicago by future forward feat. john simmons. now we are again proud to present a flollow up ep from hakim called black robots having sex with a very special remix by metro areas morgan geist! this 4 track ep shows hakim at his best covering the full range of his personality, deep melodies, jacking rhythms, and sexy funky robotics. morgans remix of jupiter poop is stripped down, thick and warm, focusing on the subtle pulsating sub bass of the original with teases of shimmering melody and solid crisp percussion throughout..

born in the same year but on wildly different career trajectories, a chance meeting in ibiza last year between ben watt and hell sparked this unexpected release. with help on this release from previous buzzin fly don christian prommer, hell could turn in a deep house monster. >freak it< also features hot man-of-the-moment spencer parker on the remix. this is the latest single from ben watts respected imprint buzzin fly, an unexpected home for the german electroclash / techno don, hell. available on limited edition 12 inch featuring collectors’ artwork (500 copies).

the >sex, drugs and sausage rolls< series continues! after the lp its now time for the ep with the same name but all new tracks!

nice price deal !!! debox welcomes another exceptional artist. 24 year old talent christian schwarz delivers a debut that easily matches the production standard of guys that have been in the business for years and clearly stands out from the monthly pile of same sounding tracks. before you told me, which features christians own vocals comes along with fat analog synth sounds, dark atmosphere and a detail orientation and emotional depth which reminds of trentemoeller or swyazak. the massive remix package features versions by spanish dj legend memo and the london based producer duo dzeta n basile. memo combines the original with pumping house grooves and a spoonful of retro coolness to an extremely danceable mixture while dzeta n basile fragmentize the catchy vocals, creating a hypnotic, tribal infected minimal track which will surely have the same effect on the dancefloor. last but not least sternenfänger (starcatcher ) takes the listener on a journey through a strange soundgarden, following the beat along beautifully distorted structures and experimental contrasts.

produced the same year as the truly epic >explorer< lp, >yellow power< takes the highlights from >explorer< and gives them an eastern twist. the hard to find / undiscovered >yellow power< was written and produced in germany by multi-instrumentalist tony carey (rainbow / planet p project) under his yellow power guise. originally released in 1982 this beautifully airbrushed japanese concept album contains 10 tracks of german electronica and cosmic disco / synth pop instrumentals. opening with >hai samurai<, which has been recently re edited by pilooski, this album voyages from spaced-out electro-disco gems such as >megawar<, >peking duck<, >tojo< and >radio tokyo< to cosmic / balearic oddities such as >queen of scots<, >blue fusion< and >dynamite<

ranking records 10th release sees russian producer/vocalist marina faib burst onto the scene with a 12inch that is frankly nothing short of astonishing. for a girl born in the 1990s, faib shows astounding maturity in her restrained approach to sound and rhythm, employing stuttering drum loops to underlay soundscapes that would put many a hollywood composer out of work. ticking clocks is a spine tingling example of this: the texture of the track comes from a euphoric choral sample which soars over a deep chasm of sub bass energy, climaxing in the perfect placement of a slithering arabic reed solo. whisper of trees shows the same mastery of atmosphere and musical arrangement - this time the tune is built from blissed out vocal lines, warm synth pads and a pulsating low end.

restoration records highly awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up this hard times. captain power and the soldiers of the future will lead the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom. humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.
third side is the new operative group of restoration, formed by marieu, lucretio and by resident dj of panorama bar steffi (klakson/ostgut ton). >ready to dance< is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but minimalistic at the same time. very essential in its build-up, its bass line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. we are ready to dance, its time to jack!
analogue cops >chamber< is a strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. rushing percussions, piercy hi-hats, a breathless progression. an experiment which turns into a solid club tack.
on side b, >still me< represents lucretios vocation to neoclassicism. the time disappears and a gospel organ full of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on planet earth. dramatic and sweet, its evocative and hopeful. lucretios track on rst006 appears on tama sumos >panorama bar – mix cd<.
>mauzy< is marieus deepest track on restoration. beat-down smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp cymbals, a praising voice. a track for a spiritual elevation, a track to dance until the last second. a track to listen to a million of times.
