back on vinyl, nina simone with great jazzy / soul classics on 180g vinyl

morphosis has been cooking. friends, nwaq & just for one day got on the re-whisk. these productions live up to all expectations from two of the most awe inspiring out there. turn them up. big tip! when this idea came about, there was some speculation here if it was a going to be plausible prospect. throughout all the deliberation one fact remained: re-workings from these artists would make the perfect precursor 12” to a full morphosis album, and it just had to happen. then it did. nwaq turns in one hell of a dub! an almost relentless 7.5 minute float, that’s underpinned with thriftily placed percussion, and a true beast of a kick drum. no build-ups. no break-downs. so, now… let’s all bow towards to the master. just for one day’s rudeboy drum palette is going to be familiar to more than a few people. let’s just say that this is the new guise of a veteran german producer who’s uncompromising music has graced some of the world’s most exciting record labels over the past 15 years. for this remix he hijacks the ‘android’s among us’ and throws them right into a sound system shootout somehow leaving the core elements from the original track in tact. seriously killer. for fans of 2 step, jungle & dr who(?). please note: this will be a vinyl only affair.

already supported by loco dice, catz n dogz, mihai popoviciu...mike spirit and rayo continue their cooltool journey into classy contemporary house music. after highly acclaimed debut >southwater ep< by technique & yaroslove (including alexkid and patrick zigon remixes) new release is on the way. please welcome v!ctor & lownza (jett, frabon records) who deliver massive house tune >bit my jazz< straight from smoky parisian dancefloors. another french veteran chris carrier (proud owner of catwash and adult only imprints also releasing his music on such well-known labels as robsoul, bass culture, off, spectral sound and, finally, freak n chic) is responsible for two driving remix tools - and we must say, this is carriers sound in its finest!

augmented third. our third ep introduces the ordinary subject - title of the latest project of alexander siegel and christian scheel. infected by creating sound - generated sensory input – they are both enthused by the same. following this idea, the ordinary is certainly not able to enhance a current perception of reality, but the augmented, however, can. the ordinary subject truly live music in an irrational way and aren t it different views that can complete a perception? to get an impression of what we try to say, tune your ears and listen.

nice price deal !!!

maya jane coles was one of the biggest sensation of 2010 with the ep >what they say<, released under real tones records. the 23 years old anglo-japanese dj topped legal download sites charts, and this ep put her and the label under the spotlights. now is the time for the awaited remixes, especially the track >what they say< which has appeared to the eyes of the public as highly inspired by 90s house music and particularly by marc kinchens style while in facts, maya jane coles influences encompass many different styles, ranging from hip hop and trip-hop to dub, and nights out in londons drum & bass/ jungle underground scene.

taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.

produced by harry choo-choo romero, vocals by inaya day, remixed by robbie rivera, live elements and pete heller, released on eric morillos subliminal label. double vinyl. need we say more?

ltd handmade cover ... telrae welcomes soundseeker, noise controller,full time musician, van bonn. he has written two tracks for telrae. both of them are constructed like a theatre play.. each tone is intentionally-on purpose- generated and set in its propper place to create a symbiotic effect... which you realise once you give them time to interact… and create something which might be just one element in a chainreaction. van bonns definition of techno dub. you could say van bonns has written the most abstract release so far for telrae and you could be right. the two tracks are not written for functional reasons, but are very functionel for the ones that seeks for similar feelings such as, deepness,landscapes of sound or just snapshots in which time stands still. these tracks come from far away to be discovered by likeminded people. dive into the world of van bonn.

highly talented demarkus lewis (bluem, lowdown, moods n grooves) with a 4 tracker perfectly balanced between chicago and westcoast house - very musical with strong pounding b-lines, nice synth melodies and atmospheres but always with the certain oomph the dancefloor is craving for.

orlando voorns original of >unpredictable love< is an great melodic and soulful detroit techno track. the remix on the flip is the interpretation of the analog roland orchestra, who impressed us again with his remarkable musicianship and soundwork. it remains only to say: deep, soulful and timeless.

music on vinyl is now issuing ed harcourts 2010 album >lustre< on 180 grams audiophile vinyl, including the beautiful >do as i say, not as i do< and >fears of a father< (written for his daughter roxy), so we can all enjoy his luscious sounds even more. conquering obstacles has never sounded this alluring.

justin martin was playing somewhere and the typical scenario happened where a couple guys came up and handed him a cd demo. a few weeks later i went on tour with justin and i found myself always asking him what track is that? whenever he played this one cd. he gave it to me and i am happy to say we have our very first south african artists on dirtybird! introducing, the munnibrotherz.

limited run of 300 copies with din-a3 artwork included clear your throat. understand. sometimes. only sometimes. there is this feeling that there are people out there, illuminated people with a plan. where the music, the approach, the images, the design, the artwork, everything is flowing together and leading into a common transcendent theme. meet ctf 2 by bruno gauthier. a (can we say this, bruno?) veteran updating the epic gospel which was started by the mysterious one with a boom - the boom which broke the nothingness. the spark of inspiration has arrived in this universe. >existing reality< is a teslaesque algorithm for the universal prescription of all antidotes. it is basic and complex. it offers a minimal lushness, a universe within a universe. flip this galaxy. >music takes control< is a maelstrom that sucks all gravity away into the anti matter zone. its razor sharp vortex cutting away the peels of space and time, a radical march of nouveau deepness. or is it steepness? ctf is on base 2, the next beachhead for world domination.

sosuntwintig brings us 2 thrilling tracks which make for spring flourishing in the club. on the a side, we say welcome to 3 new artists from italy. paride saraceni feat. jules and jazper show us their way of passing winter time with >smooth dawn<. a track, bursting with magical energy and with its chords calling for spring which wont let us stand still. the b side belongs to oliver schories, who knows how to pick em with >composer<. this tune is catching every synapse of our brains to pave the way for olivers springtime messenger. beat by beat, >composer< unites itself to a whole piece to sound the bell for the natures awakening and spring.

for is 3rd release on musique risquee, after the well acclaimed dirty lipreading single and is first full lenght foe destroyer, stephen beaupre is back with a really solid record. thats all there is to say. gl’amour as the distinctive signature of stephen beaupré, his subtle use of vocals, strings colored with warm echos layered on a big and chunky drum beat. you can easilly acknowledge is natural sens of storytelling unfold in a brillant way. on the flipside, when you have it, would be an excellent way to summarise stephen electrifying live sets: funky, melodic hypnotic and sexy. we are very proud of this last one, hope you enjoy as much as we do.

dutch producer van dongen arrives back on audiomatique - almost 5 years since his first outing - hate to say o.k in 2006 - we welcome back his tough, refined and urgent electronic stylings. vulcanic ass gets straight to the point with a gyrating, cyclic attitude that simply cannot be ignored. bouncing bass, sharp drums and an anthemic pitching synth theme provide a blissful yet party-assured climax! barcelona boys audiofly hand in a dynamic and inventive remix that fuses live drum loops with drier, more resolute moments than the original. carefully engineered and executed, its a modern incarnation of the the duos earlier tech-house sound.

olm029 - layo & bushwacka! - double a side summer gone/what do you say now layo and bushwacka! spent most of last year recording, the first offering from this period came at the end of last year with their endangered ep on plus 8. we now present their first release on their own label in eleven months. summer gone is a groove that starts on an up that slowly breaks down and brings in sounds, voices, rhythm and then kicks back with a really strong vocal and groove. what do you say now hits from the moment it begins with a stripped down sound and dub vocal and then slams with strong percussion and then back to the groove. totally tested out by layo & bushwacka! but supported big by the only two other djs with copies, richie hawtin and laurent garnier.

>tweet it< comes straight from the book of killer tracks, executed to perfection by tim berg, norman doray and sebastien drums. do we really need to say more? go tell your friends!

its been a while, but what can we say, you want the best? you got the best. but you gots to wait, you gots to be patient. so as winter seeps away and the frost melts we at duff disco are getting ready for these sidewalk, hot summer nights, radio bout to blow, small talk under the lights, feel the heat wild and sweet, duff disco returns with his peerless edit series clocking in at a number 5, yeah, a fist full of dollars, the five knuckle shuffle of releases. sticking to the slo and sexy formula >catch me out< and >you wish< are two sultry jams signalling that spring is approaching and all the ladies will begin removing the layers and making the days instantly seem brighter.

part three of the brilliant four part remix series invites robert hood and dvs1 (zak khutoretsky) to the table, limited 1st pressing features standard clear and super crystal clear vinyl ,poly outer sleeve brilliantly shows off the printed insert also included... two remixers get in on the act this time for mr ruskins corking remix series - little more to say here, another great blueprint record !

flapjack records break through chefs mark & stevens are back with their follow up vinyl release to their debut discopetry , which was released in 2010. this new ep >hello nightlife< is an amazing topper to an already delicious and delectable cake. i cant say enough about how sugery sweet each and every facet of this ep is beginning with the stunning design down to every last lickery boom tiss of the beats.

two new faces on freakshow belong to a crazy spanish combo called kasbah zoo! established some years ago through the union of alex and nicolas who are based in barcelona. after 10 years of individually experience in music production and nightlife, they decided to create a new project where their maturity can do a refined music product.as a result they already had some underground hits during the last years. so far the two guys were releasing tracks on zoo:technique and rawthentic music. their next step took them straight into the intl. freakshowi&#769,s artist pool. with their original version of the title track i&#768,palabrasi&#770, kasbah zoo is unleashing a damn good piece of pumping techhouse. alongside the original we bring you 2 more remixes coming from christian burkhardt and romano alfieri. both are as hot as hell, too. all in all one must say that this record is keeping iti&#769,s dynamic groove from the start to the very end & it will help perfectly to get fully loaded from head to toe!

the urgent bass tones of >tussilago< open another intense builder. textural, staccatto elements combine and head the attack as the track picks up steam through its several, breathless breaks. satisfyingly wicked! mikael jonasson is the next artist to have his say on figure. like a pack of gruesome bass monsters brawling in their subterranean lair, >random diversity< is a ferocious encounter to say the least. roaring with intensity and detailed, thrilling sound design, its a raw, brutally modern and fiercely powerful production

>corky< is the third ep from brand brauer frick on tartelet records and features a remix from tartelets own james braun. music has always been the defining core of tartelet records. this may seem like an obvious statement, but that was the very reason why it hit us like a ton of bricks when we receivedthe first demo from paul frick and his new band around two years ago you might say that the brandt brauer frick sound touched on a vibration that had been lurking in our musical subconscious. we ll resist the temptation to wax lengthy or lyrical about >corky< instead, we suggest you have a listen and let yourself be seduced by its panoramic echoes and pumping bass drum. hop aboard an odyssey that leads brandt brauer frick through the technoid city of detroit. its a fine ride indeed.

our fav greek fella is back on track with his new and third 12 inch on morris audio! ekkohaus has been steadily building up his profile with releases on 2020 vision, mule electronique, cargo edition and liebe*detail with his, yeah lets say >tech-house< style. >dance in the streets< is a good example of this and shows both sides of ekkohaus!

another stars is a new interpretation of the all time classic by steve wonder that was already re--vamped by salome de bahia & roger sanchez back in the day we couldnt say no to this 2011 versions for a purple music release.a choise of 4 mixes all perfectly harmonized with the superb vocal performance of myles sanko, vocalist of the english funk/soul group bijoumiyo, who gives his best to bring this production to a high level. produced by pagany & roby arduini who have been responsible for a lots of the biggest european club hits: such as cappella, 49ers, anticappella, superstar djs, su su bobien, house bros and remixers of the memorables kaya, king unique, hatiras, jakatta, de lacy, innervision... also essential team-up and productions for artists such as kym mazelle, barbara tucher, taka boom, su su bobien, joy malcolm: absolutely enough to proove their musical knowhow in the club music scene. fantastic job

persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world! in this era of nü-disco, space disco, cosmic disco, disco house and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court. let the labels fall and just get it movin. re-edited with the dancefloor in mind and your boogie in its sights, ps 1002 is another double portion of sonic goodness with a side of alright! after the >sisters are doin it< first time round its now time for the >brothers stay doin it!< now what say you good people?

fresh beats delivered directly from the caribbean by venezuelan producer trujillo on his latest appearance on the spanish-venezuelan label apersonal music. trujillos ability to make you feel caught up in an eternal summer vibe gets clearer and stronger with every track he releases. on this release main single >fruit punch< is simplicity at its best, squeezing the most out of basic classic-house elements. it builds up slowly until the original guitar tunes in, thats when you take a sip of your fruit punch (or whatever sweet drink comes handy) and enjoy the sea breeze in your face (whether its there or not..). for the extra flavor on your drink they pour an edit-format track >looking up through you<. lots of original ingredients here enough to make this edit an own piece of music... venezuelan keyboard player mister casanova on board plus trujillo mixing it all up in his best poolside bar style. fresh juicy punched stuff here! on the remix department 2 remix versions from uk based producer toby tobias plus a classy fashioned remix from canadian eddie c. tobias is a hard working man, and when you ask him for one he hits you twice, hard to pick one remix although one had to be selected for digital only release (size matters some time!). what can we say about eddie c.. apersonal had already made a statement that they love classic grooves, and it cant get classier than eddies beats on his remix! this groove is what house music is all about, and it will always be.

slamming deep hypnotic groovin house

it is no secret that bloop has gained a cult following in the few years that it has as a label. release after release, the portuguese imprint has put quality over quantity. and by doing so, it has earned the respect of the djs. one of the releases that made it gain that status has to be anonyms >fazer-me a cabeça ep<. its two tracks from an anonymous producer from detroit, that had just released an acclaimed ep on sushitech, was so well received that it helped in raising the profile of both anonym and bloop. so it is a great pleasure to have anonym back on bloop with >a is for acid, b is for bass<. two raw jabs of techno and rave, two strong statements of how detroit techno has still a lot to say

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.

italojohnson starts the new year punctual with his third stroke. this record will have something suitable on it for everyone out there. without batting an eyelid, its crosseyed and selfconfident, looking at three different floors at the same time: the a-side focuses on the chicago house floor. it begins with a recognizable toolish sound. slowely but surely the theme of the track opens – the track works through a breakdown, a classic drum roll sneaks in and jack grabs again. the b1 provides an unusual turn on the third italojohnson production. theres no space for compromises here. the track stomps on the steam engine warehouse floor. a flowing acid hookline is settled in the industrial drumline and gives the track its meaning. the second track on the flipside completes the whole package and is destined for the late night hours. thats everything there is to say about this track – the strength and emotion can only be experienced by listening first hand. love, peace and happiness

classic from 1997. no parts, no dat, complete re-programming of the whole track. incl vinyl only track free free.. nothing more to say

dubstep don vent brings the pain with this release on hardcore beats. >shogun of the dark< will slice you up like a samurai with is stupidly big bass that switches as the vocal samples interrupt the rolling beats. on the flip sees vent team up with critically acclaimed rap, grime and dubstep group foreign beggars. so need we say more?

two disco funk classics roughed up by kenny dope with extra heavy beats and bass.

bjorn torske is a special artist with a special name. he was born in northern norway where fishing has been the main industry for hundreds of years and his name literally translates as >bear cod<. even making dinner is unique in norway: you put the potatoes on to boil, go out to sea and catch a fish, then return to prepare the meal…this process is known as >kokning<. to say that northern norwegians do things their own way would be putting it lightly … to say that bjorn torske is making music his own way would be exactly right.

dj roc, known to his mother as clarence johnson, was born and raised on the southside of chicago better known as the low end. the crack in >crack capone< refers to his style of production. like an underground chemist, dj roc produces variant strains of chicago juke music, the crack referring to the synapse snapping, potentially ankle cracking manipulation of rhythms and the sampling, hijacking and ultra-rhythmic micro-editing of black american pops dominant forms into a style thats been developed and tested on the streets of chicago.

following a rapturous response from all quarters for his debut begin 12 >optical holiday<, james has taken the accolades on board and got back in the studio for release number 2 safe to say he definitley doesnt disappoint ! velocity is another balearic beauty in every sense of the word, already championed by the legendary moonboots & balearic mike (recently played on tim sweeneys beats in space show to much speculation !) and hotly tipped by the handful of players whove received upfront copies. its the musical equivalent of feeling the sun on your face, the crashing of waves on the warm breeze and sand between your toes for many of you james will need no introduction, being the chemical brothers tour dj for many years, as well as the longstanding resident at bugged out during its early manchester days and back to basics in leeds, he opitimizes everything wonderful about a resident dj, paid to make the main guy look good, but often infinitely superior at the job ! as youd expect james musical knowledge is vast, and a firm grounding in the vibrant manchester music scene means he wields it at will, each and every weekend proper

supported by: reboot, dubfire, ewan pearson, samuel l session, raresh, tim xavier, christian smith,.. with oliver deutschmann & ed davenport polytone proceeds on its way to focus on exceptional artists who have something really profound to say musicwise. quite slowly, but highly stringently deutschmann and davenport build up this musical journey until, without really realising, youre in the middle of a very slamming house track of a truely oldschool kind which gains further drama due to subtle chord changes. in his remix, matthias vogt from motorcitysoul further emphasises the tracks house character by adding more chords and then lets the deepness culminate in a wonderful break. robert bosco totally breaks out of the traditional catgories house and techno and combines the best of both worlds in his remix distilling it to a kind of essence of electronic music. all three tracks have in common an immensely consistent approach and a pleasingly trend-resistant understanding of deep music

volume 4 in the popular series from deadly sins another 4 killer boogie / electro / gospel re-works dj support from tornado wallace / feelmybicep / lewis dene / untracked / jon gazeebo & more. pressed on clear vinyl.

dj hmc from australia say hello to decks classix vinyl series ... two great raw techno tracks original on dirty house records

thats it, thats cliff02, just wonderfull, nothing more to say, we wish you a great winter time!

hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. citizens of electronica we have come down from the holy mountain to bring you the new formatik! once again with an a-side smasher psalm by the chief preachers format b. catalogue number formatik 005 shall purvey the word of the all mighty upon the dance floors. a holy place where the opening times often coincide with the sunday mass, unfortunately time is sacred so that when hearing the >gospel< there shall be little time to close your hands and pray as the nuns will already be body groovin in the aisles. with the once cold and dank air of the church at boiling point and its radiant smell having already attracted new guests, in this case super flu with their antichrist remix adding some soul to the hooklines. we say hallelujah, hallelujah!

ed davenport is the next artist to have his say on len fakis figure spc imprint, taking his distinctive slant on late night body music into a new personal dimension. stretching out over 10 minutes, >take heart< throbs like a first love, dizzy on pheromones and the promise of kneetrembling basement action. fellow uk-import-to-berlin mama provides the telling vocal message. on the flip, eds >weird organ< is a straight up floor-troubling weapon - dark, taut and bristling with malevolent energy. perhaps his heaviest moment to date!?

crying electohouse stuff

we would like to say it was all part of a big bombastic plan… the biggest selling bearfunk artist, a top song, the prague philharmonic, 40 piece strings and some great remixes all to celebrate bearfunks 50th release, but alas, it was not! bfk050 is actually the 67th single release on bearfunk. the strings were done in the lunch-break downtime of a session in prague with strings-chappie, john bryan. make good music and occasionally, just occasionally, good things happen to you! so the knife-edge karma of indie record labels flows.

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË
