support by loco dice, marco carola, raresh, onur Özer, federico molinari, fabrizio maurizi, luna city express, reboot, mathias kaden, afrilounge, seuil…. martin swanstein aka martinez is remaining true to moon harbour. after his first fantastic ep >momomowha<, the high-flying producer, dj and labelhead comes along with two brilliant new tracks for the label. and once again martinez succeeds in capturing intense moments and expanding on them, but without losing impact. in >le circus< martinez arranges different vocal samples into a rhythmic collage which build into the backbone of funk in the track. its precise and growing breakdowns will undoubtedly provide euphoria on the dancefloor. >mundial< has a percussive and intricate start but quickly evolves into an easygoing and elegant house track, which creates its incredible deepness by focusing only on the essential. >mundial< is the kind of track which would signal early in the evening that the people in the club had most definitely come to the right place. 2009 the new moon harbour compilation >moon harbour inhouse vol.3< will be released, in which martinez will provide an exclusive track as well the dj-mix.

2001, the year that sunshine from dance nation ruled the dance floors around theworld and ever since then has stayed in the record boxes of most djs under the category classics. as it is widely known in the dance community shaun is not really a big fan of cover versions, so just like with laid back (bakerman) shaun hooked up with the original producers and writers and secured the original vocal samples, making this version a real official update instead of just another cover version. incorporating the typical and unique baker sound makes sunshine again internationally interesting.

kenneth james gibson is a man of many different personas. the list of his releases over the past years is way too much for this infosheet, so lets skip this part for now. under the moniker of apendics.shuffle hes visiting mos ferry prod. for the third time. >you got my harmony< is not only a title for this e.p. you can take this phrase literally. his sound fits the label like few others. along with his two extremely grooving tracks >finding harmony< and >you got my< the package also contains two remixes by tim xavier and olene kadar. they definitely share our faible for >frickelsound<. tim turnes the original track in a dry, more driven techno version. olene - with young ambition and restlessness - starts quiet relaxed, but carries his arrangement of the given samples to the extreme, again

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

cobra records continues on the beat techno, with a spanish artist david moleon, an owner of the label moo up, who delivers us tracks techno 2 indeed, including, break, good bass turn, an artist that we shall see evolving on the other labels for the future. killians followup the boss of the label, already produced on labels primate, primevil, yin yang, which remixed the track no control, with a groovy touch, or we reknow its signature, and by adding it some good samples old school. a very good e.p to shake your dancefloors

reinventing the word dj, insideamind is the leading force in turntable music performance. knowing no limits, innovators steptone & professor fingers raise the bar high with their natural showmanship. spellbinding soundtracks, head snapping breaks, tears, laughter, and magic make up their acrobatic, high energy onstage flow. blowing away audiences not just with clever samples, but an onslaught of layered beats, big bass, and sudden switches to live improvised remixes that pull crowds deep into their world. the tiniest spy is insideamind?s first vinyl single, the title track features the exquisite vocals of laura barrett from paper bag records, over the furious drum beats, scratches and soundscapes created by steptone and professor fingers. a matter of time takes you a head nodding hip hop feel, featuring a daunting techno style remix by murr (from lal) and old school hip hop remix by toronto?s circle research crew (a recent signing to melting pot music).

part of a new breed of detroit techno, we are delighted to announce ryan crossons debut wagon repair ep. having already released on trapez, telegraph and m_nus under his alias berg nixon, ryans floor friendly live sets and shuffled percussive styles are getting many excited, with due cause. a side ‘confiteria del molino is a bassy and deep bomb. introducing itself with eerie warped vocals and strutting beats, dynamic melodic tones hover above a subtle synth progression. enlivened by stabbed horn samples, percussion and booming bass is key to this tracks heavyweight strength. b1 ‘sunshine wave is slightly lighter, opening with a bouncing melody and chattering percussion. a huge bass sound opens things up, accented by needling synth and fueled by a classic prodding techno kick. to close, ‘use me up bubbles with melodic tone and stuttering crackled samples. subtly progressing to a simple beat and rumbling bass, distorted vocal arrangements haunt the mix as flighty pads howl in the distance

the perspectiv crew are proud to announce dachshund’s new release, with the geneva based producer delivering us two fantastic tech-house anthems. with previous releases on num, 60 sec and platzhirsch as well as collaborations with fellow swiss producers quenum and lee van dowski, this is his first perspectiv release. >perception< is a trip into a blown mind. a devastating edit powered by crunching percussion and pounding bassline, arabic synth melodies and samples of children playing give the production a mood that is both abstract and rejuvenational. >holiday now< is persuasive, percussive house. motored by deep staccato synth and a crackling beat, sirens float throughout the mix amidst a prodded bass hook

this second vinyl sampler takes two more lead cuts from tims album, >smash & grab< is a techy prog affair, a stickly synth driven affair cut around hooky vocal samples. a real head swirling affair. on the flip we are treated to the beautiful 808 style intro track >sticks & stones<

three new tracks by mix mup on mikrodisko. three musical statements, instead of drawing from a wide range of samples from old vinyl, as he did on his last release >dj of higher quality<, mix mup this time mostly relies on his own voice and an all-in-one sequencer. you can hear his love for raw chicago-acid-house b-sides, his affinity for italodisco and sonic experimentation. this is not about a clean sound and a clear arrangement, the tracks were produced in a moment for the moment. all tracks were produced in a single session, without quantising, without a screen, without a mouse. always with some scepticism and his tongue in his cheek

a tidy, dance floor busting, roller of a track laced with catchy old skool samples, acid lines, euphoric synths and solid beats makes freestyle a sure play for those peaktime moment

supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

the second release on this hard techno label presents some of the big upcoming stars in the scene. the record starts of with the intro and track of label owner orman bitch. orman is defenitely on his way to the top with big releases on cannibal, jli, fatallic and more. next on the a-side jason little who is creating a big stir in the scene with the releases on jasons mask! he is known for his ultrahard style and even sneaks a few dirty samples in.. on the flip we find two equally hard productions of dj hamy from hungary and schranzao da santos...

electric minds present gatto fritto for their 3rd release. a talented musician and producer from north london, he has been steadily building a reputation through his releases on london based dissident. extending his repertoire further he brings another quality production to electric minds. the a side bursting the bubble is a nine minute jam with quirky sync samples, heavy bass and a change in direction half way through the track which is becoming a trade mark of gatto frittos productions. the b side radio b-92 did not make its place on the first electric minds release as planned, so they were delighted to have been able to include it here. it is a sync rich track taking inspiration from new yorks 80s electro scene, a perfect compliment to what is already a very strong 12inch release. house heads as well as the cosmic fans will appreciate both productions

artillery is back! dj amok compiled three new releases for the hard techno fans all over the world and he starts of with this great new release from waldhaus! and what a killer it is, waldhaus made his name on labels like skull tunes andcombat skills. crazy samples big kicks and a touch of humor makes this a release not to be missed!!

now up to its third release, soul science recordings continues to deliver high quality, soulful, deep electronic dance music with joel harrisons latest: high voltage. commencing with the original mix, this track does exactly what it says on the tin delivering electrifying, pumping,deep, nu school house. taking sparse electro bleeps as an introduction, the environment starts out building steadily with increasing urgency. utilising sweet and cleverly processed vocal samples as motifs, the track develops into a full on dancefloor mover, complete with thumping kicks, fat chord stabs (for fans of the original detroit masters) and a bouncing off kilter bassline - something of a harrison specialism... wearing his influences proudly on his sleeve, joel has created another sublime electronic deep house track for fans of spirit catcher, john tejada, freerange records and beyond...

take some banging stripped back drums, a hefty dose of bassline, sprinkle lovingly with soundscapes, samples and finally, just a sprig of synth for good measure. serve in a venue full of up for it clubbers and there you have it - olmeto016. definitely best served hot!
