dj oji hits us right in the face with a couple of atypical jazzy afro funkified productions on this double a side! sax you features vocalist kolai & gets eclectic with its slappy percussion & really catchy plucky rhythm string. this only serves to warm up the epic intro of the jazzy sax that comes in as strong as a freight train. doing one of his very special edits is master musical editor & dance legend, dj danny krivit. continuing on his path of afro funkdom, this next oji offering is another quality piece featuring esteban & tettris entitled non believers. a rhythmic hodge podge of sounds in the same vein as the aforementioned style including sax, trumpet, hammond organ, wood clavs, and interjected by a psychotic transistor noise thats sure to drive the listener into a modern day ritualistic frenz

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

with >slow potion<, asli takes the cold barren landscape of iceland, marries it with the deep soul of new york (think ibadan or objektivity) and then throws in a hint of banging german minimalism (think kompakt vs mobilee). and what comes out is truly a dancefloor masterpiece - beautiful and at the same time a full ‘hands in the air peaktime banger. classical strings joined by electronic beats and a throbbing bassline. on the flip side with >east city life<, he takes it even deeper. minimal yet groovy, asli builds us a perfect track for the late night

twisted tech house and percussive disco grooves fused together by new yorks hottet new producer talent!! this is part 1 of 2

essential compilation! already played by sven väth, karotte, laurent garnier, jimpster,…. >grand cru< is a term used in the wine business and normally denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of both one wine-producing area and one vintage. the stylistic diversities featured on this compilation arent less refined and versatile. at the same time this compilation boasts of a representative selection of artists who already released on connaisseur as well as up-andcoming new members of our artist pool. this selection is the beginning of a periodical series which will be released on a yearly basis. apart from afrilounge coming along with an elegantly lowered house groove, another artist who has already released on connaisseur, surely jochen trappe will be setting the benchmark with his glitch-rock-tech track. there are more familiar faces to be encountered – for example daso teaming up with his ingenious partner pawas. they both make even the most lame couch potato taste their own very special beaujolais and freak out on the dancefloor - blood , sweat and tears!

wagon repair welcome a new artist to their ranks in the form of italian minimal master luca bacchetti. after a host of releases on italian label tenax, spawned from the cult club of the same name, this is a heavy dose of entrancing minimal - equally suited for the dancefloor or the late train ride home. a side >rolling brooklyn< pushes the envelope a bit further, a busy and investigatory track driven by sniffing snare sounds, moist synth balloons and screeching metallic accents. ascending from chaos to minimal bliss. distinctly urban, b side >what ever< progresses defiantly amidst reverb laden howls and sirens, throbbing to climax with stabbed bass and rolling percussion in an inpenetrable surge to the senses. final cut >flat mates< keeps up the pace. led by a dizzy synth haze and fueled by a tight house rhythm, luca adds acoustic metal drum sounds into the mix to broaden the tone.

the sebo k and metro partnership makes its debut on get physical with >transit<: these upcoming house producers are so hot that this ep almost melts the vinyl that its pressed on! transit looks to the past and the future at the same time: inspired by old school chicago house but boasting a modern techno approach to arranging, the nagging bass riff at the heart of >transit< builds and builds along with sebo and metro s evocative chords to create a track that will raise the roof on any club during the peak time. >transit< never loses its raw, hypnotic groove either, and after it reaches a climax, the sparse, raw rhythm is still there, urging the dancers to keep moving. philly producer king britt dons his scuba hat to provide the remix: its more understated than the original version, based on an off-beat groove, but, like a thief slipping through an open door in the middle of the night, britts reshape gradually introduces the hypnotic chords. before you know it, his remix will have seduced any crowd who love deep, electronic house music. get a move on to pick up on this future house classic!

his name is rené breitbarth, he s from cologne/germany, living now in berlin, he s quite well known already, of course, and he s been into making music for quite a while now. he also co-founded other labels, but we from neopren are tolerant and like him all the same… we all have to collaborate, other labels are friends and not enemies, and the neopren-records are easy to recognize anyway, thanks to the wonderful artwork! this 007 >graveyard swing< .release consists of two fantastic, pumping minimal tracks. the bassdrums go as deep under your skin as the most expensive bodylotion, the entire bouquet of the tracks is nicely balanced, and an entire basket full of rippling pearly ingredients will make many of you ask yourselves the >wuttisdatsound<- question…

in the recent days the label spielzeug goes from strength to strength with releases coming from label boss thomas schumacher although they are receiving tons of demos every day…this fact shows how picky they are when it comes to releases! now an old friend of the label and long time techno activist returns to the bill: axel bartsch. as team with asem shama he produced most successful a few releases on spiel-zeug and at the same time he released 12inches on kompakt extra or sportclub.. and this is just a small excerpt of his vitae.. on spielzeug 40 his presents his renovated and fresh definition of techno with epic melodies, super functional drums and top notch bass inferno... not to be missed!

wings - another doubletracker from andrei zakharov aka an-2 on his own theomatic. this record as well as the previous >diva< is performed in diptych concept which means that both tracks have common elements and build perspectives to the same idea but from different points of view. slow, hardstepping and austere fatal version vs. light and bright vital version. musically both tracks is a versatile combination where funk and disco organically intergate the techno elements... support from sasse & c-rock

remix-package to one of the biggest wir hits. newcoming talent kab shows some severe skills with a tight remix that keeps minilogues hooklines in shape but introduces them to its unique world of magical flow while pulling off the impossible, he creates a masterbuilder being tense and tender at the same time. jichael mackson on the other hand constructs a relaxed groove rich in texture, pushing the sounds further and further until the final climax while tracing the original material rather emotionally then rationally. minilogue themselves round off the package with a beautifully dashed ambient version

ben watts buzzin fly kicks off 2007 in the same way they ended 2006 – deep and electronic !! alexander maier comes with dense, modern main room electronic detroit techhouse at its best

this is a 2 tracker with two mixes of the same track. the main theme of the track is almost 80s like synth melody lines and string pattern. the a side mix has an almost electro like feel with more laidback drums whereas the flipside attacks you more head on with its slamming drum groove and very full synth parts

heres more of that exciting, dubby and trancy stuff alex krueger aka dub taylor. >schmidts cat< contains three parts which are based on the same idea in bassline and/or chordline. his mostly (digital/analog) hybridworking makes these tracks having a special warm sound

photocall is the la based team of eli epstein and terryn westbrook. their silver clouds is allready very sought after. the original version is an ice cold electro track with egyptian lover style beats and a funking minimal bassline that really makes you move your ass. the track really kicks of with an additional synth line, the vocals of terryn and a bleepy melodie which has somehow the same ,its all good vibe, as space invaders are smoking grass

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. 2 great new mixes by systematics marc romboy and phonogenic

lophi is the combination of loth de luca & philip flindt, they met eachother at a n.y.e party in 2001. they quickly found out that they shared the same passion for dirty electronic music. the sound that makes up the rather unique lophi sound, is a mixture of de lucas long lasting love affair with the darker and more minimal beat. combined with flindts flair for dancefriendly music and his craving for the melodic themes, you are left with pure audio eargasms

incl. rmx by nick & danny chatelain founders of bcnrec , alex brinken & mischa völzke a.k.a tactik are in charge of the third release of the label. two tracks of techno with same soul but different vibes, tweeked and stressed analog in the bass-ment studios. includes a remix from the creators of one of the biggest hit of last year >is killing me< nick & danny chatelain

desvio has materialized into a monolitihic label pushing the boundries of what is deep to new uncharted depths. here we are with the continuation of the sedation in noise series number eight and possible one of the strongest to date. the a side is classic slam mode, subtle, cinematic, dreamy and techy at the same time. take yourself to the b side and you are deep in ame territory. imagine a track like rej with much more nyc beats ala ibadan and dennis ferrer and you re close to what we re talking about. ready for the big systems

justin martin is currently recording his debut album for buzzin fly and here is a taster >the fugitive<, a sick underground groove skewered with grunts, grinds and sub bass that finally launches into a gorgeous spring-loaded nu-techno ride. on the flip, more of the same, dastardly.

support by chloe & jennifer cardini !! actually, a tragic fact that the two label owners of sub static never enriched the own catalogue with a cooperation, but then again, there was no time, passion, and maybe also the right tracks hadn t come yet. now we found them, the ideal components, and thus this split- ep succeeds to involve both sides of the same medallion in an extremely animated conversation, which also the party benefits from. a real brocksieper starts off the record, with that slinky, permanent groove which everyone likes to ride on, as it s making you look well on the floors which signify the world. then the flipside laxly continues where just hopped, speak: a little bell rings, the beats pose, the shiny side always in the floodlight. however, the mood changes - functionality mutates to emotiveness, the music floats differently. this can only be m.i.a., who still disassembles sounds with never known precision, gets ideas in order, simply generates funk. so the tone is given for the next techno season, thanks for that

on the second release from its remix imprint vr, berlins vakant label comes with the goods, turning out what might be its most far-out release to date - and at the same time, its most punishingly effective. going head to head, glasgows alex smoke and paris man tolga fidan tackle each others tracks, twisting up knotty rhythms and gauzy electro-acoustic sounds into a battered syntax that expresses one thing, move !!

crash/ almost crasch, is an acid-flavoured minimal groover for fans of minus and loco dice however in a very own style.the sg-remix and the original are stripped-down but raw pieces full of sparkling sounds based on a straight beat that makes this track a perfect tool and a peaktime - anthem at the same time! the dadableep portion adds a little bit of german flavour and takes the track more into the tech-house-corner... straight but funky.

the restart of the legendary evolution/universal language label! the first 3 mind blowing releases (re-mastered) and presented as a limited 3x12 package (the reload ep, the autoreload ep and the biosphere ep). mark pritchard and tom middleton released in the early 90s some highly limited records on their evolution label which later became universal language. all records were groundbreaking releases and tom and mark continued to produce many great records as reload, global communications, jedi knights, harmonic 33 and several other projects. these 3 records represent the beginning of the electronica movement which they started with like minded artist such as aphex twin, the black dog, autechre and some others. deep raw and forward thinking techno in the same style as aphex twins early releases, as one or balil. mark and tom were strongly influenced by derrick may, juan atkins, carl craig, kraftwerk, mike dunn and richie hawtin to name a few and they produced some amazing records which still are not outdated almost 15 years after their original release. among their fans of their releases is a huge list of big names who all recognized the quality of the music made by these two guys. this is a great package with all three of the ultra rare original releases together. must have

better known as volum and as one half of angry robots volsoc (his musical partnership with justin maxwell), jean-paul bondys output to date has often been categorised as electro, but not as we know it, jim. since the early 90s bondy has been bringing us his vision of a cartoon future of blips, bleeps, squeaks and tweaks, all fed through your speakers and straight into your brain by a rhythmic salvo of breakbeats, bass, and straight-up, glitched-up funk.. bondys first solo album, >the path of most resistors< marks the culmination of this effort to date, while at the same time representing a subtle departure – not just for bondy, but for compost too. make no mistake, this is a record that is grounded in the kind of solid, machine funk grooves, synthetic melodies and sci-fi atmospheres that the best electro has always brought us

uplifting swedish champions league vocal house bomb. in the same row as angello, axwell, prydz, guetta,

one of the most improving label from the present screen, cray1 labworks, is here again to break schemes with >flashcam ep<, maybe the best maxi that theyve ever published. what is for sure is that they keep the wonderful quality level from their last works, praised by artists like angel molina, david duriez, hd substance, inigo kennedy or leandro gamez including magazines of the prestige of debug, trax mag or groove. in their fifth reference they possess an exceptional binomial formed by the german phil stumpf and the french sam rouanet a.k.a reynold, or what is the same duplex100

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. first time they produced the seminal everything is allright, one of the highlights from the audio soul projects album community this time they produced one of their futur classic, while david duriez was in chicago on the way to his detroit electronic music festival gig. produced in just one afternoon, the track is already acclaimed and hammered by all the big onesjosh wink plays it everywhere. mr.c has also been reported jumping in the booth to ask david what this track was.

really impressive, strong techno music! this ep is a split in between three rising stars on the swedish techno scene. prataps contribution starts of with a wicked groove that just goes on and on. and before you know it, you are totally lost in a melody that is slowly building up. the flip from nihad tule and lasseman is on the very same tip. nihad, know from his release on hz trax will not let any body down! a really strong and groovy sound is coming your way and just keeps on building. hypnotic and very funky!

nice price deal !!! been around on white label for a few months, but now getting an official release. dj delicious needs no further introduction with his current dancefloor smasher same man john dahlbeck completes the package with his huggotron remix
