played by len faki, joris voorn, secret cinema, housemeister , funk d void, steve rachmad... alexander kowalski is back! after more than a year of not bringing out any new releases and leaving the >different< label, the first 12inch is now to appear on his own label >damage music berlin<, dmb for short. >the heat of the night< clearly takes the former kanzleramt flagship back to its original deep sound. this energy-laden dub-techno number is sure to make the dancers hearts beat faster, and to make them sweat - in the heat of the night... >its been a long way< is a typical pushy kowalski techno track that dares the tightrope walk between rolling basses and melancholic soundscapes. as for >dont judge me (just because i like the rave)<, the name says it all! this track is one of the smashers in the current kowalski live sets and has already taken apart a number of clubs in the process. alexander kowalski decided to found a label of his own primarily to release his own tracks that he has either tried and tested as part of his live sets or fresh ideas straight from his studio. in time, he also wants to provide a platform for other artists to publish their music. time to damage!

the arctic monkeys much anticipated third effort was co produced by queens of the stone age frontman josh homme and james ford. humbug is a voyage somewhere new - its a richer, darker and more powerul sound. its heavy yet melodic mixing offhand self analysis with verbal assaults. turners charismatic vocals remain centre stage with that sweetening flutter of vibrato. the songs remain stories - fabulously wrought and told, set to thrilling and adventurous music. its a more grown up album of irony, guile, riffs and tunes, yet it still very much the arctic monkeys.

quartz music return with yet another roaring ep. this time from belgiums hermanez.
opening track hocus focus is a full spectrum. opening with its tribal drums, the addition of cascading techy sounds and then its techno stomp. the brutalness is appeased by the wonderful deep synths that fuse everything together.
next up is the more stripped, minimal sounds of served . a colder, more moody electronic feel to this one, it pops along, locked into a vicious groove. white noise builds create the drama throughout.
finally don t try this at home continues with the heavy tribal tide. rolling drums, a plethora of toms, and a bag full of spooky sounds and efx, make a strong set building track.

who the hell are bleep district i hear you ask? well for those of you who havent heard their awsome debut on replay records they are matt powell a founding dj of the legendary quadrant soundsystem and the inappropriately nicknamed matt rhythm who rumour has it spends his spare time pressing random buttons as one half of deep house anti-heroes rhythm plate. coming straight out of leftfield, bleep district have exploded onto the deep house scene like a musical gas leak. their quirky, chunky, dancefloor orientated beats causing serious damage on dancefloors and working mens clubs around the counrty. these two devout christians and still practising altar boys have decided to continue the religious theme of the bleep of faith ep on the highly respected winding road and titled their debut for ornate music… end days ep. revelations (rapture rub) kicks of the ep with a clearly deluded shaun ryderesque gentleman professing his faith over a big moody analogue bass and detroit style stabs on a track that would make the staunchest non believers begging for absolution! and on revelations (pillar of salt dub) they take things nice and deep for those more reflective moments in the evening.

only a very few lucky people can call skatebards wonderful debut lp their own. >skateboarding was a crime in 1989< got released on telles electronic offshoot tellektro, home of great norwegian artists like annie or rÖyksopp. the key track on that album was >sgnelkab< which got played and loved to death by djs like sven väth, michael mayer and pascal feos. it instantly became a classic and always remained a secret weapon. the few copies available on discogs cost € 50 and more.... now >sgnelkab< is finally available on a full vinyl side and remastered to great effect! along comes a brand new remix by norwegian techno godfather mental overdrive (r&s). he turned the track into an insanely hot disco rave remix that already got great feedback from the usual suspects. the artwork was accomplished by another scandinavian legend: sähkös very own tommi grönlund!

big with luciano, tim xaviar, audiofly, nico purman,someone else, mark henning, men in trees and many more ! einmaleins welcomes >cacabel gentz< a new project by appendics shuffle (los angeles) and dilo (buenos aires). this ep contains 3 absolutely cool tracks for all the house and techno friends. on the b side, afrilounge (pokerflat,connaisseur) comes with a ultra deep minimal house monster. a track that keeps on building and evolving through out all its extend. this ep is a secret weapon

now, here comes daniel herrmanns (aka flug 8) debut album >lösch dein profil< in english >erase you profile< or >delete user<. fully packed with metaphors he overdraws to understate. flug 8 cannot be nailed on any genre-board, but creates a homogeneous melancholic music stuffed up with secret hopes, by reducing it on a hand full of sounds and a certain range of simplified tunes. might this be true kraut-techno?

cabin fever volume 5 comes from radio slave himself. cabin fever follows up with another of radio slaves secret weapons. >dont you know?< has been an exclusive secret weapon for radio slave, since the rekids rooftop party at sonar last year. this track doesnt need any fancy notes or kind wordsà its just rough as f**k. lookout for more of radio slave on rekids in 2009 and watch out for the next cabin fever release from runaway. limited edition coloured marbled vinyl (500 copies).

10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it

although jaxson and keno both have successful solo projects and have previously worked together before, this collaboration is bound to be their most notable release yet. a fusion of house, funk, latin and techno, all meet at the crossroads of their studios for a 4 track ep of sundry beats and fresh flavors. clearly the a-side, >tout le temps< is comprised of a clever hook and a hazy latino vocal sample, which carries the initial groove right into an originally played synth section. a good example of a refreshing approach to adding effects and using sounds. >tarantella< as the title might suggest, one might expect a track that would scare the living day lights out of you, but it has more of a >creeping up from behind you< sort of vibe. a subtlety creeping groove subliminally enters your unconscious mind carrying a secret message. what is that message you ask? dance! the congas on, >red baron< sound so live you can almost here the players licking their fingers. congas might be the groove in the heart of this tune, but the melody of the slick synth stabs and rising strings are what ultimately breath energy and spunk into this roller. >karate kid< initially has a minimal feel, but once the hacked up guitar and vocals come in, you can put those dirty thoughts to rest. abundant with an overwhelming amount of unique and interesting sounds, secure this tunes ability to prick up the ears of finicky djs and clubbers alike. it is rare to find such a wide variation of sound design on your run of the mill ep, but kindisch has proved they are not an ordinary label. they are consistently releasing quality tunes and always providing pleasant surprises. some might say it is a clichÚ, but this ep really does have a bit of something that will drive one club or another nuts

first release for this new italian label, who claim to bring techno back to its top level. we re inclined to agree with those sentiments, as are the others who have received promos of the release. the a side consists of two deep and dark techno tracks, that should also find favour with more minimal djs. they are apparently by a popular northern european artist, going under the guise of ????. the label has kept such a secret that we dont even know who it is. on the b side, we have a soz adams (esperanza, archipel, gumption) remix of label head obtane and fris, which is a retro chicago style excursion, and german duo sebastian herre and obscure close the ep with a more detroit techno inspired track.

slang bang is benno blome, the head of sender, and pan/tone aka sid le rock. the duo delivers powerful tracks combining force and restraint with a wicked imagination. >amaaazing< for example sets the records tone with an aura of mystery, creeping like a secret agent on muted, methodical beats, as buzzing synths and foggy atmospheres round out the film noir effect

underground classic trax is a brand new label focused on releasing original material from timeless artists. our releases will be only for djs/limited edition/color vynil no promos. for this 2nd release, we bring you some of the rarest 12 inches around. a side comes up with the amazing pfantasy club a.k.a dj pierre with never give up (circa 1988!), an amazing acid track (one of the first we guess), originally released on dancemania but we brought you the never released no vocals acid mix & obviously, it still sounds fresh & amazing today, pre techno/pre rave & whatever. essential! on a2 & b, we have one of the original house master creator (2nd wave), johnny fiasco with darkness & here i cum (unreleased extended mix) from 1995 when techno was still frightening & underground, real raw ghetto cuts that are still played on heavy rotation by real djs, they use it as secret weapons, nobody knows them really, but now you can grab it.

massive la bouche cover with mixes from chris ortega & thomas gold, secret layor, rave ramone and backside artists!!

the ever popular redux label return with a wonderful ep of dancefloor ready cuts by nu-disco dons nick chacona & anthony mansfield having forged a keen army of converts to their hector works label with tracks like the superb >oh snap<, not to mention numerous excellent remixes, the boys have wasted no time in concocting another duo of heavyweight cuts for a variety of floors. redux expand and reinforce their reputation as an under the counter source of secret weapons of the highest order

huge detroit / atmospheric sounding 5 track 12 inch ep... a secret dj weapon
