legendary 1975 bob marley live session back on 180 gram vinyl

classic cut from the two old hands ! a level non zero release with the catalogue number 23 – who woudnt expect a conspirational track? and indeed: after legendary release >futher & further< (lnz05) the secret house society leaders pascal feos & heiko mso (klang elektronik / playhouse) once again met for a conspirational studio session to dominate the clubbing world with an extraordinary production. the result is named luv and sounds like the essence of the essence of minimal house music neatly stretched out to 11 minutes running time. cladestinely theyve implemented classical chicago jack elements in a modern lunar probe to irridate mother earth with an eternal stream of love. adequate gravitation-free the sound comes across as a gauze of warm bassy clouds, funky finger clicks, sustain violin strings and paradisiac luv female vocals. after a long ethereal break the track speeds up again smoothly and reveals a subtile glowing sound of the tb-303. luv is the perfect example of rarely produced tracks that give you the feeling of oustanding full-embracement

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

supported by richie hawtin, dubfire, format b, hosh, someone else, steve lawler, dj friction and many more.. aus dem umfeld von fortschritt 3000 gibt es wieder ein neues künstlergespann. mark vogler und molle aka mollono.bass von kombinat100 haben zusammen nächte lang im studio gesessen und an neuen tracks geschraubt. dabei entstanden, ist ihr neues live projekt rundfunk3000 was sie nun auf ihrem hauseigenem label acker records mit der >zirtow ep< präsentieren wollen. session ist das wort das sie lieben und so klingt auch ihr neues werk, eine mischung aus house, jazz, techno und allem was spaß macht. zum einsatz kommen instrumente wie hammond-orgel, percussion und saxophone synthies. die a site mit >loop durch raum und zeit< erinnert an vergangene tage und klingt doch sehr aktuell, ich sag nur jazz in the house .... die nummer macht spass, geht nach vorn und wird bestimmt ein highlight auf dem einen oder anderen dance floor in unserem universum. die b site mit dem track >mein bodo< spielt eher irgendwo im tiefsten asien, lässt einen schmunzeln und ist irgendwie funky.

just in time for summer (in the southern hemisphere of course!) is latin impressions vol. 5 (the highly anticipated and latest in the series and the prelude to the long awaited and soon to be released latin impressions album). latin impressions vol. 5 is not your average latin house release and will take you on a journey into the many different flavours of latin dance music. first up are victor simonelli and vince sortino with cumbiana, a deeply storming track featuring great horns alongside a jazzy piano which creates an totally infectious vibe. next is espiritu xeneize by victor simonelli featuring a wonderful accordian over a smooth, laidback groove. raf n souls latin expression is a live precussion session that is simple, effective and mesmerizing. finally we have samba party by graeme park & nick hussey, which is an uplifting affair featuring graemes saxophones and nicks keys over a deep, fierce samba flavoured groove.

permanent vacation present you the first 12inch release from their shiny new joint venture with the great swedish label service (who brought you studio, whitest boy alive, jens lekman, kool dj dust). together they bring us the embassy, a duo from gothenburg that makes the most beautiful songs. their sound is warm and light, but underneath the surface theres always some kind of tension, they sound like an ecstasy fuelled, jewel stealing balearic indie band on a permanent vacation at the riviera. or as they say themselves: underclass disco. the original of lurking (with a distances) sounds like a forgotten manchester rave anthem, while wunderkind tensnake made a little jam session with boney m in his parents basement to provide a heavy remix sporting a great sax and a killer panpipe!

volume 7 of the late night house session series!! dj romain at its best again!!

cool beat & sound toos for producers & djs !!

limited to 500 copies on coloured vinyl !!! the mysterious intrusion project (feat. on echospace 007) emerges once again and delivers another epic release. throughout the original mix of >tswana dub< you find smooth textured pads and a bassline even the mighty king tubby would surrender to. the melodies evolve in slow motion over time as the synth hits open and close into a fierce midnight skanking session so lo-fi you would think this was recorded at studio 1 in the 1960s. on the flip side brendon moeller serves up heavy bass reductions, live melodicas, brass sections and spatially aware dub fx. the phase90 mix dissects intrusions original into a full spectrum spatial affair as deep as the sea, epic and beautiful...

samuel l session goes the tribal-techno way while the trancesetters take the track down the progressive road.

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

the chart buster martin solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague lorenzo rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. so far away came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee. the guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine charme of todays house, turning so far away in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks. the performance of australian soul singer rachel claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals. definitely another epic stone in the b2f wall!

d passion had some guests over at his studio, and heres the result! the collabs, a special release featuring 4 collaborations of d passion with artists from all around the scene. the first one might be a combination of 2 of the youngest, yet most thriving forces in the harder dance, take the risk is d passion and italian mad dog kicking it with bassdrums, tight melody and sharp vocals. together with promo, d passion sat down and created the last track of the night, a track with a large intensity grade shows their view on how the last 5 minutes of an event could and should sound like. the b-side might be a familiar one to many. last year, d passion and unexist provoked each other to non stop hardcore antics, and the two tracks which resulted from this session might be some of the hardest out there! bring the noise and what the hell are the best examples of how intense the combination of the unexist style and d passions production skills can be.

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers
