it has been a while since fries & bridges have released anything but that was never going to last forever and the aptly title forever this was certainly worth the wait. the boys use old school skippy beats with a filtered bassline accompanied by the sweetest of vocals which is perfect last tune of the night material. theres also an instrumental for those who prefer a heads down mix...

often sampled in house music trip to your mind brings bags of old school groove dressed up in a slick 2010 remix. funky guitars, soulful vocals and 4/4 bassdrum we guarantee this track as floor killer. power to the hour is another nice surprise from the same bag sounding more strictly disco funk (imagine a sweaty disco cookie by sylvester)...

its seems that underground quality are on a mission to bring us the deepest sounds around and this twelve from new name tazz makes no exception. acid love sounds exactly what youd hope it would sound like, warm 303s on top of old school house piano sounds. round this off with the simple yet effective underground 11 and a remix from dj jus-ed and you are on to a winner

kink - bitter sweet
kink has built up quite a reputation recently with some amazing work on rush hour alongside neville watson, and two slamming old-school-vibed remixes on liebe*detail. now we present his debut original track for the label, and >bitter sweet< really shows off his tender, heartfelt approach to house. raw, beautiful, melancholic and spine-tingling, this is modern house with a harmonious nod to the pioneers, connecting with us on deeper levels and remaining within us forever.
tom demac - draw me in
wales tom demac has already proved prolific as a producer constantly putting out genre defying, funky and ingenious hybrid house. also his debut for liebe*detail, >draw me in< takes on a strong and bass-heavy approach, with tight drums and freaky vocal-snippets melting together into a mutant jam of seismic proportions. reduced, casual and yet deadly cool, its a welcome additions to toms excellent production catalogue!

iron curtis is a berlin based young producer. his debut release on tensnakes mirau was supported a lot from many djs and deetron picked his track to his mix cd on music man. this his third release contains three unique touch detroitish house tracks. title track of >großreuth 1< is a winner of this ep. it reminds old school detroit house track and simply effective in the club. this track will be useful dj tool for any house and techno djs. >save the night<, >80 g< on the opposite side are little bit more deep house style. i would like to recommend these tracks to the fan of underground quality or that kind of underground house.

one of the most in demand tracks from the >technique< album finally gets a full single release complete with re-fixes from prosumer and kruse & nuernberg. ernestos vocal fully lends itself to the prosumer soundsignature, his mix floats and weaves around ernestos vocal, peaking around his own chords before stripping things back to bare essentials and rebuilding like only he can. the kruse& nuernberg mix is hypnotic, percussive old school house music at its best. they take a small snippet of the vocal and build the groove relentlessly until the whole room is shaking. achim brandenburg aka prosumer lives in berlin where he is resident at panorama bar, weaving together the finest blend of soulful house sounds. an expert in classic chicago house and detroit techno, his first release was in 2004 on 240 volts, followed by playhouse and ostgut, where he released his debut album with murat tepeli in 2008. separately, hamburg based florian kruse & nils nûrnberg have created some of the most interesting deep house around in the past few years, with early highlights incl nils >caught a glimpse< on 8bit, and florians >love hurts< release on om records. since then, as solo producers, but more importantly together as kruse & nûrnberg they have climbed closer to the tree-top with their unique brand of mouth-watering underground house.

the release, has two original songs and two additional remixes. funky chicken is a powerful and profound theme very well produced. we remember the old school house will surely be a pump for the club! the remix of arnaud le texier follows the line of detroit house, forceful and elegant at any time. namaste has a base of high quality with great pace and a lot of groove. the remix by mirco violi has a great personality with a base and a very marked rhythm, this ep is a vinyl indispensable in any club.

the berlin-based dj and producer eva be is no newcomer to the international dance-music scene. 2 years ago she released her long-player >moving without travelling< on bestseven / sonar kollektiv records creating her very own trademark dub-influenced electronic sound. this ep is the logical continuation of her musical output as she has been djing quite a heavy 4/4 sound in the last years playing alongside best works records djs andre lodemann, roland appel and alex barck of jazzanova in places such as goa/madrid, cookies/berlin, dampfzentrale/bern, etc.
>new crack< combines an electronic dub driven bass sound with classic old-school house influences - dancefloor business. darko essers mix is more intrecate giving the orginal a more dramatic crystalline twist. last but not least andre lodemanns previously unreleased remix of eva bes tune >she walks alone< sees the light.

its been three years since uffie took the underground by storm with her killer electro crunk anthems hot chick, ready to uff and pop the glock. 17 million my space plays later, the 22 year old star of parisian club culture is ready to release her new single mcs can kiss. produced by mr oizo, its an old school soundclash of heavy beats and sharp rhymes, a pass the dutchie for the modern era. remixes come from some new kids on the block, zombie disco squad and starkey. zombie disco squad have delivered the perfect big room remix, while starkey has given it a dirty philly street feel with his dubstep rework.

dj sprinkles aka terre thaemlitz is back!! after the huge successful of debut album midtown 120 blues & excellent mcde remix, dj sprinkles came back with massive old school house track masturjakor. dub version of this song was already incuded to mule musiq compilation (now endless flight compilation) im starting to feel ok. but now finally on vinyl with three version and mighty kink & the neville remix. dont miss it if you love house music!!

must have classic live performance!! grunge at it best

for the third release on their fresh new imprint, the home taping crew hand over the controls to the safe hands of old school house pioneer chris duckenfield aka duckbeats to deliver the musical heat.

playing and singing together since their school days in west sussex, smoke fairies (jessica davies & katherine blamire) create ethereal, dark and haunting left of center folk and blues songs wrapped in beautiful harmonies with the occasional psychedelic flourish. following an ep and two singles, they now release their first for third man records. the songs gastown and the river song were produced by jack white (white stripes / dead weather)!

7 oz. records has come to its 4th release in vinyl. label founders siddharta and mr. rovat have finally put the last touches to their musical debut with windy city lights, an explicit dedication to the sound which influenced them in the 90s. its an ep which relives those chicago and detroit atmospheres, enhanced by the solo trumpet played by acclaimed musician omar valle, who gives it a unique jazzy mood intertwined with drum machines and old school tools, an attempt to have the record play in an analogic manner.
the remix was handed over to none other than to brothers vibe, an historical name in the north-american deep and house scene. the result is filled with dub echos, undoubtedly detroit and perfect for any set!

jan turkenburg is quite literally a musical ufo landed from a distant galaxy in his spaceship. or more precisely from zwolles geert grote school (netherlands), in which mr turkenburg is known to be a music teacher...

support: raresh, 2000 and one, jay haze, loco dice, miss jools, julien chaptal, anja schneider, laurent garnier, kasper, lauhaus, ray okpara ...
cray1 labworks label artist kornel lemon kicks off the 25th releasse with a deep space funk house releasse.
kornel lemon is back this time with a 2 track stormer >la leona< & >high spirits<, warm tech house affair tracks with a dub mood and a strong banging hihat beats. on side a we can find maybe one of best alex celler remix, really old school remix to the original >la leona<, big room tech/house with a disco feel including some functional chicago percussions with a warm and groovy bassline.

we are delighted to welcome the mighty russ gabriel to ever expanding dieb family and have him contribute this excellent 3 track ep to our catalogue. fans of russ sound as well as the uninitiated will not be disappointed here as there is a very wide stylistic audio palette on display here-yet still retaining russ quintessential production aesthetic and quality.
ranging from the epic, old school >returning home< with its haunting pad and melodious bass arpeggios to the stripped back chugging tech house workout of >push it along< and the futuristic, techno-infused >narita express< with its modulating stabs and catchy, repetitive bassline it is easy to see why russ is and has always been considered a unique and exciting music visionary equally capable of creating harmonic, atmospheric soundscapes or high energy, functional beats aimed squarely at the dancefloor.
whatever your preference, this package is sure to satisfy even the most discerning ear or demanding club crowd! enjoy!

tiger supported by... rob da bank, kiko, markus kavka, mihalis safras, justin berkovi, ivan smagghe, orde meikle... moonbeam are back on traum! the russian brothers had a great year and have been voted as one of the top 100 djs worldwide by uk dj mag, in december 2009. we think they are wonderful, dedicated people who really deserve winning this award. with their new a-side track >tiger< moonbeam show their timeless quality and their deep knowledge of music, writing a seemingly simple but gigantic track. if you want to express in words what this track is like you might say it is a hybrid of joe beltrams >energy flash< fuelled with a melodic note and a lot of post-techno feeling. creating a revival of rave which so many people speak about, but so few actually reflect in theirproductions! the energy of this dark monumental new school acid track is counteracted by the two tracks on the flipside >land of the lost (strict mix)< and >zoo<. the b1-track >land of the lost< sounds like a soundtrack for a film set in a ghost-town in the midwest of the united states. a track that travels like a camera does... through different rooms of a deserted mansion. the b2-track >zoo< is the beat track of the record. it relies on its cool driving sequences and the hypnotic feeling it creates through them. adding small changes here and there that keep the track constantly going.

catalog number 004 on four roses recordings is yet another sublime release of the motor city drum ensemble. following the success of his first single for frr, breath control, danilo plessow this time brings us two quite unique tracks: the a side (sunsequence) being a dark, repetitive and haunting piece of post detroit techno which continuously builds layer upon layer, until it finally explodes: the pulsewave drones, jupiter chords and 808 patterns will cause maximum effect on the dancefloor. feel the love on the b side slows things down a little, but keeps the dark mood, adding some of that old school sample flavour to create a trippy afterhour track, that sounds different from anything you ve heard lately. ltd restock

9th mallory release! do you like the old school house with 909, filter and sample? so this release is for you. 4 tracks by the new italian female talent anna stefani from ferrara. a new talent for one of the big italian techhouse labels. its a great release supported by loco dice, mathias kaden ...

balance alliance brings to you a series of productions new and old. the concept is to introduce new school dance labels while keeping the spirit of the unite therapy concept, coming together as one nation under independent dance music.

soft rocks finish their very productive year in the studio with 2 raw analog dj friendly house cuts... march of the dark & light brigade is a rough acidic cut that builds, drops and builds again whilst tutsis dance is a slice of funky craziness with an old school house bass line that gets deep half way through and peaks with some sublime strings.

from the studio of scott grooves... modified suede... music that you can feel. great selection of basic house tracks in the vein of his recent scott grooves release on clone (coco brown). this is a special tribute to clean simple rhythm tracks and scott grooves shows that being one of the first techno musicians on the planet doesnt have to mean that the passion for pure dance music has to disappear after so many years in the music bizz. excellent collection of tracks that lean towards classic house music, but with that fresh simple approach of many of the new school house producers! very much recommended!

new novamen.... after much sought-after releases on labels like murdercapital, bunker, viewlexx, mr pauli & dj overdose are back again and deliver the goods with 5 new slamming tracks in their trademark old-school electro style. razor-sharp beats, twisted bass-lines and sick vocoders... you know the drill. for the freaks!

an all french definition of cutting edge new-school techno

vivace is a project of stephen hitchell (cv313, echospace, intrusion) and is a unique hybrid of deep house, dub, jazz, & soul, a sort of new school/old school fusion which pays homage to chicago house heroes like chez damier & ron trent in their prescription era but with a modern twist. this project is the continuation of his previous soultek material initially featured on germanys force tracks & force inc family of labels back at the start of the century. the title track in its original form is a sub-aquatic journey through space and bass, as deep as you would come to expect from an echospace production but the sound palette has changed, shifting into a world filled with ambience and free form jazz. the use of live instrumentation & vocals are a driving force behind this project and add a depth and soul oceans deep, its like melting in sonic butter. the soultek mix is a frenzy of edits, funked up and sounds like it could be a schizophrenics take on house music, brendon moeller dives deep into soul, shifting and morphing the original into a proper late night house jam you could only imagine derrick carter or theo parrish dropping at the wee hours of the morning. the closing intrusion mix gives the original a frosty lime green haze best absorbed while inhaling, real trippy stuff. this first release has already earned countless play from francois k and in its inception (as soultek) was hailed as >jacks echo -- the future sound of chicago< by de-bug magazine, germany

the new danilo vigorito on his imprint orion is a high school two tracker. this will be embarrassing for the newyoung talents of the techno scene as this vinyl is a real masterpiece of techno music and will be in the case ofmany >not virtual< djs ... dont miss it!

sex tags mania with more leftfield dance music... the label just does what they feel and that goes from crazy nordic afro funk (see recent sex tags amfibia release) to intens house tracks, uptempo techno or just raw low-key tracks like this one. they have at least one major fan called omar s who loves the label!
produced and recorded live by don papa at work it studios, moss norway in 1999 and 2000.if you are ever in norway, take a trip to moss and visit platesjappa - old school records with soul. you might meet don papa and the likeminded.

ultraphatt old school house release , pumpin and percussive with hooky vocals from one anonimous local hero !!!!!!

as the days get darker so shall the music, so on that note we welcome back the fold moscows own polymorphic with the ever turbulent rock on ep. this time out polymorphic delivers the goods with 3 new tracks, rock on, scream & move faster. the ep also features a remix of the title track by marseille who also had a hand it turning out proxys raven last year. this ep is not for the feight at heart. both mixes of rock on tear things up with a decidely old school electro undercurrent while keeping things noisy and agressive on the top end. and there s only one thing we can really say about the last two tracks because they are that scary... scream will make you move faster.

raidens label always comes with something different from the usual d&b formula rubbish. martsmans track is very impressive, with his refreshing future sound. on the other side its business as usual from raiden with help from khanage, its funky, and not as full on as normal, but again right at the cutting edge. martsman got into drum&bass around the end of the 90s. debuting on new york based offshore recordings in 2005, he released on smaller as well as established labels like alphacut records or counter intelligence in the following years. in 2008, tracks on warm communications and hospital records sub label med school attract the attention of a steadily growing audience also from outside the drum&bass scene.

co-producer of the lastest tiefschwarzs bomb >trust< and full-time member of souvenir, philipp >sante< maier spent the summer with ali and basti on the road, every time warmly praised by the crowds of fabric in london, watergate and weekend in berlin or sonar festival in barcelona for his highly physical live-set. santé, together with adam port, rampa or &me is also part of a new school of producers from berlin, all fully dedicated to the delights of foot-stomping, straight- and four-to-the-dancefloors and already gathered under the standard of souvenir booking. so for this 22nd release on vinyl, ali and basti clinked for the third time glasses with sante, but this time, they chopped the magnum, and offered their round to rampa, re.you and david mayer

rippertons perspectiv label with its 2nd split release giving new talents a stage. 1st split is a huge release with two sublime tracks by agnes and johnny white. not sure if this one tops it... but crowdpleaser and entlet deliver both two tracks that stand out of the pack!!. especially the b2 track by entlet needs some extra attention... a contemporary house track that has so much hidden power. phat old school bassline kills it everywhere.. and then the tracks continues to build and build.... like a modern dj pierre wildpitch affair! crowdpleaser delivers two solid tracks that went straight into the dj sets of many influential djs. highly effective and useful house tools (a description that actually doesnt do justice to these tracks which are much more then just tools!) ripperton proofs once again to have a great ear for new talents!!

laidback piano / string drenched house with soulful vocals - remixed by shield & old school garage heroes faze action.

in 2008 strip strip surprised clubs with his first bnr release of oldschool-new school disco-filter-house. since then a lot has happened for the kid from bordeaux: he did remixes for r&s records and modular, an epic 9 minute remix for nycs fixed guys dave p & adam sparkles and played many cool club shows all around the globe. in 2009, the year of classic house music revival, strip steve (22 and now based in berlin) presents his vision of disco rockin house-music of 2010. imagine ian pooley being young again and ready for the world where everything is possible. 5 new banging and diverse tracks start with the obvious smasher >breakin< and >children<, ready to destroy. on the flip you get >dancin< that samples a soulful vocal hook >feel like dancin< plus a burning rollin bassline. >am/fm< is a super funky acid universe.

hot on the heels of the excellent bad cop bad cop ep comes the amazing new four tracker from smear, otherwise known as one half of forward strategy group, encompassing all that is good when it comes to hypnotic, rhythmic techno. think old school jeff mills meets marcel dettmann with a bit of throbbing gristle thrown in for good measure, youd be hard pushed to find a more essential techno record this year.

12 transparant orange vinyl limited to 300 copies.

yore returns with yet another deep master piece. javier alvarez, a madrid based producer and proprietor (along with his younger brother dubbyman) of the underground label deep explorer music, brings his relaxed above smoke sound to the yore imprint. in the first of four warm and atmospheric mood pieces, awfully drapes dense synthetic winds over a deliciously grooving, bass prodded deep house pulse. get down does exactly that with five funky minutes of rhodes chords, disco hi hats, and synth swirls, a percolating bass line lends the track a propulsive charge, while crowd voices give the cut a party vibe. on the b sideÆs ôthe fixö javier scatters chopped fragments of the spoken line, i ve got a lot of shit to say and i cant say it all in one day, i cant say it all on one piece of tape, over a funk house groove, after which dubbyman offers variations on the theme in his remix of the track, dubbymans version digs deeper into the cuts bass science and warms the tunes slinky pulse with hand percussion and claps. old school in its embrace of classic house sounds, above smokes ep is tailor made for those who like their material laid back, groove centered, and funky.

album of one of the most talked about electro acts of the moment. one luxemburgish, one lebanese, one french, one musical language which takes its source from the academic knowledge of juilliard school of n.y.c. but raises itself above the classic, contemporary, rock and electronic genres. the first album of aufgang knocks down, surprises, and lays down matchless basis for reinterpretations. after >sonar< released earlier this year, here is the full lengh album ... future classic.

this is quenums first release on clapper!
a side: cargo
this track is techno with a touch of old school, but decidedly modern, not nostalgic. it s built on a groovy techno rhythm that quenum knows to do so well, with a recurring agitative sound that takes you one level higher. the earthy music, rooted by the feet in the ground, grabs the hips.
b side: ouidah
welcome to west africa and the port city of ouidah, home of the quenum clan. this track is classic quenum, clear-headed techno influenced by african rhythm, hypnotic percussions and inimitable touches that add warmth to the sober mix. this one is for the head, but without letting go of the hips.
dachshund and quenum will alternate their work on each release, so look out for the upcoming clapper 003 by dachshund. in the meantime, check out this track and enjoy the show!

incl. patrick lindsey remix. label boss christian schachta returns once more with two new cuts of grinding bass and razor-sharp percussion for your listening pleasure. >sugar bombs< pairs up grungy bass with metallic artificial vocal stabs which arrange themselves into a solid techno groove. >sweet market< strips it all back to basics, spitting occasional claps, bleeps and snares, whilst the growling bass returns, growing in intensity as the track progresses. old school bad nauheim techno hero patrick lindsey re-invents >sweet market< into a driving techno-house thumper, complete with clapping and chanting, vocal snips and chicago styled hats, ready to give the party a big boot in the ass in fine style!

matt flores teams up with a true legend of house music: tyree cooper. true school chicago, pimped up for 2009 with the unmistakable voice of tyree cooper demanding you to dance, feel yourself and the energy surrounding you.played and supported demarkus lewis, elie eidelman aka dj humus

hot city is dropping some severely skewed house music, twisting it up with his own blend of jackin chicago house, 2step/ukg, and bass bumpers. with only two tracks sent out to a handful of the finest djs around in the past few months, he s secured two gigs playing out at wifey, certainly the most fun club in london at the moment, and managed to generate a fair amount of hype already:
- smash, this is a mega rave hit bro, nice one! - drop the lime (t&b / nyc)
- very nice, thanks for this, will def play it - hudson mowhawke (warp / glasgow)
- i really like both these tracks, kinda minimal garage, very cool - hannah holland (batty bass / london)
the tracks on this new 12 inch build on the momenetum, with two tracks of stripped down dancefloor killers - >yeah!< is a monster builder, all todd edwards style swing and tight edits with crazy deep kicks, chopped up vocals, old school piano stabs, soaring strings, and hands in the air breakdowns. already being played out by drop the lime (check his latest exclusive mix for fact magazine where he opens his set with >yeah!<). >head work< on the b side is on more of a masters at work/harddrive era tip - deep garage beats tripping over themselves, burbling oddity synths, shuffling snares and the weirdest vocal melody breakdown/build-up ever!
the originals are complimented on the 12 inch by two remixes - tvo takes yeah! to another dimension altogther with a head destroying 140bpm hardcore junglist remix. on the flip, san franciscos eats tapes take >head work< into the wonkiest area of minimalist techno, showcasing their totally unique take on future groove.
the ep has been mastered by the irrefutable shawn hatfield/twerks special touch, bringing out the strengths of each track and tweaked for that perfect crisp warm vinyl pressing.

manel ruiz aka sistema and javier orduna aka retronouveau started work together in 2008. they found deeps edayar to put together their passion of dub, detroit techno, idm, chicago sounds. this year is one of the duos most successful in upcoming productions in labels like overflow records, neue lärmklassiker and phonobox. in this release bring us 2 tracks, >ready to june< and a remix from the original. a tight compressed kick and atmospheric touch of dubby techno,is more of a pure techno track with an old school feeling to it. deeps edayar totally builds it to another level with sublime melodies and a additional bouncing bassline. they represent the modern soul of detroit with raw grooves and understated textures.

big with nick curly, agoria, laurent garnier, anthony collins, nima gorji, jimpster, tim xavier, brothers’ vibe, einzelkind, ripperton, dyed soundorom, italoboyz, stephan bodzin, thomas schumacher, gavin herlihy.. alexis bernard aka seuil returns to freak n chic this autumn with freak & violence, a two tracker which sees the parisian leader-of-the-new school take his impeccable sound into deeper, late-night territory. with huge releases for eklo and moon harbour since his last ep for freak nchic, seuil has been a name on many a lip and with this sort of output its likely to remain that way. warm synths and a tweaked spoken vocal dominate the title track, freak & violence. the synths have an ethereal, trippy vibe but are balanced by ultra-dry, ultra-groovy drums while the vocal slips in and out of audible significance which makes for a hugely absorbing listen.

rising up from the gurgling belly of the underworld comes disco of doom, the brand new project from production and dj duo tom real & the rogue element. the disco of doom is a place of unspeakable depravity from whence tom and rogue deliver twisted, filthy productions. >warpig< and >spawn again< follows their first ep which came out last year on passenger records to critical acclaim. >warpig< takes things deep, dark, heavy and churning with surprises at every turn just when you thought it was safe to get back on the dancefloor. >spawn again< brings you back to the jack of old school chicago acid madness while simultaneously slicing in the heavy duty rave sounds...you are all well and truly doomed!
