dream states of lust and lucidity, slow to speaks latest reissue of house musics halcyon years comes courtesy of mood ii swing s visionary lem springsteen. originally released on the eightball sublabel empire state records in 1994, these excursionary landmarks saw springsteen bid farewell to his usual club-saturated exercises in queeny house euphoria for a hallucinatory breach into a secret realm of desire, where the whispers of a long-forgotten hunger meld with the floating synth-work of a true practitioner of the sacred art of club music. this is the soundtrack to the chill-out room of your unconsciouss kaleidoscopic sex dream, the sweet synth lines of springsteens ritual music still floating in your mind as you awake, alas, a little too soon. fear not: this dyonisian masterpiece is once more available thanks to the good spirits at dope jams, who remind you, *whatever the eye sees and covets, let the hand grasp!* not without asking (or paying) first, of course.

with his debut release on highgrade, >never end<, artist and producer andri has already proven his sense for captivating rhythms and driving beats. it is no accident that the swiss producer spent his childhood swinging the drumsticks and is now bringing his enthusiasm for those beats to the dancefloor. andri is known well beyond the borders of his native switzerland for his energetic and sweaty live performances, which always include new tracks for the floor. with his live sets he aims to encourage more than just wiggling movement – he tries to incite the party freak, to inspire a >technoid mind state< where people want to dance like crazy, all night long! as he says himself: >the people on the dancefloor should be able to experience the story of my sets and completely forget themselves.< but andri is not attempting to be a hyper intellectual sound director, and while his sets and tracks are carefully composed, they also retain a sense of humour. this is the case with his new highgrade release: >up lantis<. the three tracks - >up lantis<, >come to me< and >mr. groove< skillfully play with original samples, crackling beats and sexy basslines. they develop a very unique field of tension, punctuated with a lot of fun filled andri trademarks: this is the dictation of groove

after the success of the >nathaniel x project ep< in may, the parisian label finally comes back with another killer ep! from this label calling all souls and spirits from the old skool new jersey house, early italian after-hours house and chicagoan finests, from music station, to prescription underground, to palmares, to goldtone … who is paris underground trax? we dont really know, as the label wants to keep the producers name secret! only thing we know is that these tracks were produced in 2010 by a young french dude! so again, these are proper 90s vibes, in the purest deepest tradition, heavy kick, fat basslines, hard swing and massive oldschool keyboards! kerri chandler: >great tracks, i love them all<

nice price deal !!! this second release from glasgows fortified recordings is a departure in sound from their first acclaimed ep by dundees loops haunt, but all the same in attitude. iranian born, texas residing garagesmith vvv uses his late night musical tests to forge and perfect his sonic output, and deploys a range of techniques not normally found in the often formulaic world of garage and dubstep. this patchwork quilt of laced beats, field recordings and intensive sample editing has made manifest a four track ep that simultaneously references the work steve gurley, todd edwards, carl craig, my bloody valentine, the cocteau twins and roy davis junior via the bastardised strains of 2-step and house practiced by the likes of ramadanman, untold and joy orbison, peppered with that magic elusive el_b swing that only the greats are able to achieve. at the same time familiar yet different (how many times have you heard that?), the four tracks on projects kick with the intensity of the best club music and invokes the cosmic spirit of classic motor city techno with an uplifting and deep soulful vibe that reveals layers of orchestrated natural sound upon repeated listens. in other words, its sexy as fuck. slated for an official release early march , one can only assume this limited 12inch will fly off the shelf much like fortified s inaugural release did

played by claude von stroke, timo maas, luciano, livio & roby, mihalis safras, d julz, hosh! after his huge success of the summer that was >trumpets victory< only 19-year old kiddo david august is back on stil vor talent with his second ep: sweden roof. sweden roof is also the title track on this two-track ep that is about the funkiness of house music and the glorious moments of melodies. a cut up vocal sample dominates the groove until we can hear why david august is more than a producer, but a musician after all. the great organ melody will have whole floors swinging along to this monster of musical raffinesse. this sound is like crack, once you try, you want more of it. now! and luckily there is. feeding our addiction on the flip is soul kitchen, an even more organic piece of tech-house-niceness. clap snares, pianos, a deep male vocal sample and equally as much sex appeal as dancing at the carnival in rio. this is soulful house music and it doesnt get any better. these two new tracks show that david august is no one hit wonder. >sweden roof< proves how deeply david seems to be in touch with house music - and the dancefloor.

bapp jim? that means swing at its best! listen to this sound of the 20s. plattenbau-music 003 also offers a great electro-remix by the sexinvaders. the b-side is the typical minimal-techno-stuff by tonkberlin with a lil blubb and a remix from roberto mozza.

peter grummich is a man who needs little introduction. peter has been producing grade-a techno and house for over a decade now on some of the most established electronic dance music labels in europe. peters unique production techniques draw upon a deeper sense of music. segeltuch – >the triolig deep track< is a dark and stripped down tech-house journey. chunky snares and simplistic high hats meld with ominous synth dripping with dub-styled delays. classically detroit sustained string sounds and rich analogue sweeps reflect peters loving detail oriented production at it s finest. what is most remarkable about this collection of sounds is that it gives segeltuch – >the triolig deep track< a remarkable versatility, both dancefloor energy and time.
elevation funk is no average b-side. elevation funk is a super sexy house groove that does the job right. deep and hypnotic analogue stabs slowly modulate to keep the bodies swinging on the dancefloor. odd synthetic effects and cut up noises just drip in overdriven dub-styled delays keeping the groove from getting style and providing delicious ear candy for the dancefloor. then about half way through this journey peter slowly brings back in a wet sounding hat pattern to bring this slow cooking bomb to the boiling point.

voyage direct is tom tragos long awaited follow up to his first ep on rush hour >live with the bbq<. this seven track mini-album shows his diversity within the genre. it reaffirms that house music can still be sexy, deep, raw, emotional and passionate. the package includes the promo released >passion< plus a host of new tracks. highlights could be the raw >on the side< or the swing of >brothers of string<, but in fact every track is a highlight in its own right. together they make this a complete package. a must have for any house connoisseur.

henry l is the new moniker of cologne based producer/dj thats already known to the drum & bass world as henree (with releases on established labels like soul:r, cia deepkut and soundtrax just to name a few). even though hes still busy in that genre (unless others) it was about time to contribute something to a genre he always felt and took inspiration from. the other day at the basement reminds on an early mood ii swing vibe, pitched down to the right tempo. marcus worgull stripped down >the other day at the basement< a little, focussed on dubby stabs and added some wonderful harmonies to this hypnotic tune. when the soulful piano comes in, theres no question that this marcus worgull dub is one of his best remixworks to date. >wake up< is a sexy 109 bpm monster and as funky as house should be. if you need one word to describe this dope jewel it might be bouncing!<. just awesome dope shit, soulful, slow and moving

ripchord are 2 guys from copenhagen with years of experience with music in its many different forms. in a short period of time ripchord has firmly pushed their way into the danish underground scene. max thelin aka. maximus is the second member of the danish hip-hop producer duo mavix. jesper prehn, old time raver, dj and producer, has a long history in electronic music. their style is dark and original with jazzy swingsets and groovy basslines. thrill cosby is set in a 20 s ballroom jazz club in new orleans. the tempo is high and the people are swinging to the rhythm. the band is jumping and the bourbon is kicking in making the trumpet drowsy. tanzable, is a minimal tune kept in the subsonic layers. it has got a dominating bass line the swirls you into a hypnotic state of mind, encouraging you to move in sexy ways. this remix is conducted by joachim spieth best known for his spiecher series on kompakt.

mysterious and most of all vinyl only whitelabels seem to be the call of the day. if they are as good as this one here i have no doubt - this trend will stay our fried. open produced bassy and sweat boxing, slamming chicago - detroit- chicago style house with great piano chord and slight pitched atmosphere. somehow between early chez n ron and roy davis , dj pierre, kerri, mood2 swing, nu groove, kot. now ive almost named them all. oops… . sinister but oh so sexy!

this is the new adnckrystall lp, the second (the fourth in fact), a pure non conformist album, no computer, no midi system, no good taste of studio mix for fucking mass fun commercial of artistico politico correct electro. just sincere 80s analog french cold wave romantic trashy noisy - because synthies are punkies naive vox biologic fxs but sex and chic!

this is not a house music album but it is certain to make you dance and the soul will definitely make you swing

after much effort sexy pie announces the release of their new song >fuck you<. this song with its childlike melodies is set against lyrics written with less than proper english seeks to express in an ironic and satiric way, that life sometimes dies not always need to be taken so seriously..

christopher just looks back over his shoulder at the time when a bass used to be called a murderbass, bleeps were meeting clonks and techno was feeding the illusion of the everlasting party. dry beats, being swinged and pushed up cascade-like over the holy disco bass again and again, heralding - by sawtooth and an apocalyptic peal of bells - the ultimate party happiness. dj glow known from his always cool trust imprint delivers a great futuristic robot electro remix from outer space. crazy funky

more than 5 years ago, the highgrade boss is back with his 3rd laylines.. tom keeps the swing sexy and presents a cool stripped down electronic techhouse record! a classic clark piece!

frank roger - the man behind sun orchestra - pairs classic, ass-whooping house beats and a creeping analogue bassline with sexy late-night atmospherics such as cut-up vocals and string chords. dissplay aka the fantastic llorca unleashes a shaking electric funk monster with swinging beats, percussion, massive, anthemic chords and a classic detroit sounding breakdown
