dj hi-shock, also known as advanced human, returns to his roots, releasing a track on a label where it once all started: elektrax recordings. opening and title track control is as funny named as it is maddening. the irony lies in the fact that it is truly impossible to control your body.

mongolia ep is the new dance-ep by dj, composer and musician susanne kirchmayr, aka electric indigo. the focus of mongolia ep lies on an interplay of unsynchronised dub effects. club music is otherwise quite restricted, these unsynchronised dub effects subvert this, the artist explains her basic intention with the tracks based on refracting rhythms and structure.

the first track is reminiscent of a military drum ritual dating back to the middle ages in which drums were used to create a melody that would call the soldiers on their feet at dawn. the second original track is a destroyer with intermittent drum patters and analogue bass lines that will leave nothing unaltered. conrad van ortons takes us deep into the eery world that lies beneath us. patrick kriegers interpretation is a magical dance floor track with eminent eloquence.

did you ever wonder what happens when a living legend remixes an absolute eskimo classic? the answer lies in dj harveys >beach to the bar< remix of mediterraneo by dr. beat from san sebastian. the lively track overlays a steady stomp of a beat with clattering drums, a walking bassline, and a bit of guitar shredding to create a full-force groove. as featured on the remixed disc of eskimonde - a decade of eskimo recordings, but now also available on a heavyweight 12 inch with a special laser etch.

the second single to come from miaoux miaouxs acclaimed >light of the north< album, the limited >autopilot< e.p brings us the original track backed with a heavy-duty line-up remixing select tracks from the album. the original title-track is a glittering synth-fuelled hymn to heartbreak, which incorporates elements of bass and hip-hop, while recalling the stylistic flourishes of boards of canada. reworking >hey sound!<, glasgows very own auntie flo and esa bring their exotic stomp to the table: a percussive journey soaked in dubwise holy water. tom furses remix of >stop the clocks< is almost like a reigned-in, beat driven version of john elliots outer space project, thick cosmic ritual elixir bubbling over the sides. already having made his name on skreams disfigured dubz, echo park takes on >autopilot<, turning the original into a cast-iron lesson in militant rhythm. echo parks real talent however lies with integrating elements of the original seamlessly with his own punishing sound palette.

in definition of japanese deep electronic music, pan records yet again compiled the various artist ep with full of surprises. as opposed to previous releases, ambient is the word to describe this forthcoming ep, not forgetting its deepness lies within. sven weisemann from berlin is making his debut to pan, showing much love for the label. dynamic and elaborative wave of sounds, together makes continuous teasing build up throughout. he will be only the second non-japanese artist to be appeared on this label.

as re-mixers, they have already made two fine contributions to schallbox-releases, now they finally get their own track on the swiss label. 12 most definetly belongs to the smalltown collective!
the name of the track is tiefblau and it speaks for itself: you are transported by a pushing, bass-generated pressure capsule down along a hypnotic groove line and into a deep blue ocean. the smalltown collective really exploit the merits of the acoustic stage here, pulling together a compelling and diverse set of notes and tones carefully arranged to amount to a track you just cant shake.
in his interpretation, dj le roi stays true and to the deepest blue dive atmosphere of tiefblau, yet manages to make it completely his own. unmistakably tieflblau, unmistakably le roi.
the page logo belongs to berlin-based producer david keno, whos signature lies in lacing floor-oriented beats with a distinct melodic aspect. with his unique and secret recipe, keno tweaks/ treats this track as he does with so many stomping house tracks with a laid-back vibe. guaranteed to work on any dance floor in the world!

ok, to call this album long awaited or highly anticipated would be a non sequitur. what lies here before you is sculpted out of the blood and tears of 5 years of life, and all the dreams, imagination, tristesse and longing that goes along with it. the name orgue electronique shouldnt be new to you, cause it isnt. for over a decade it has been lurking in the periphery of house music - forever too early or too late for the trend, be it as a solo artist or working alongside legowelt. but it seems the apotheosis is finally here, in the form of this mesmerizing double album: wholly matured and further enhanced by collaborations with luminaries like robert owens, alden tyrell and cult hero fre2k. but to just dismiss this as a retro house record would be to sell it short in a big way. sure it was influenced by the usual bunch of pioneers and icons, but this is not an epigone, this is music that is. its warm and generous, made up of real emotions, of moments frozen in time and of the impassioned cries of a soul on the run. thats right, this aint no hipster shit dime-a-dozen facebook house gonzales! to finally let it go after so many years is - for all the parties involved - a strange yet exciting moment, not unlike the birth of an elephant baby. out of a human female

the debut release on poem by neotnas, is set to showcase both the labels outlook and pedigree. the outlook of quality, from the music, to the pressing and artwork, and the pedigree, which is proven in the history of tobias duffner, who ran fauxpas musik, and his choice of upcoming artists already slated to release on poem. neotnas hails from the city of chelyabinsk in russia, and delivers a mature yet fresh ep of deep, well versed grooves. to grant it a genre would narrow the appeal of these tracks, but rest assured those from house or techno backgrounds will both find common ground. these tracks stand out for their almost unearthly feel, and its easy to hear that neotnas are close to the ural mountains, in tracks like kai, or that day, which serve both the head and the feet. the future for poem lies in cultivating new artists as talented as neotnas, to go alongside proven ones, as a list of remix names show how poem will progress: convextion/e.r.p., anton zap, modern stalking and mlz to name a few already at work.

here it is: the long awaited 2nd release of >sound is coming< by kolortown (hieronymus, xoki, nana jakobi). incl. the best >dub< – sounds as usual, the beautiful voice of >female – tikiman< nana jacobi (>music wall magazine<) and an awesome remix by >beat pharmacy<

lime dubs returns with a really sharp ep by brazilian alex mind. the power of the release lies in the electronic but yet melodic style consisting of bright synths and basses all perfectly coming together on 3 very strong and well produced tracks.

andras toth is not a nu-school producer. please refrain from adding up-and-coming to his biography. he has arrived. with his second full solo-ep on alphahouse records, he presents a varied and captivating look into the mind of an accomplished musician. following the success of his previous works on the label, his debut >us< and the collaborative ep >futures< with boss-man butane, >would u?< is a trip through improvisational jazz, open-air sunrises, and sonic after-hours explorations. herein lies real music, nothing formulaic, nothing safe. the ep embodies an ethos, held by alphahouse, that musicianship is about originality, not following trends. there is still much that remains good in the world of independent electronic dance music. we will continue to search for, and find it.

pop ambient 2012 begins in an unusually new but nevertheless somehow familiar fashion. mohn with manifesto is the opening act. a manifest of slowness. a slowness that jörg burger and wolfgang voigt have taken up as new mission. mohn is their new ambient-grunge-down-beat project, scheduled to depart on its official musical journey to middle earth early 2012. what follows is equally surprising: the old kompakt swashbuckler superpitcher is taking part for the very first time.
cd version of this album included.

2011 has seen a string of stellar releases from the dynamic force giving house music a new accessible heartbeat, mario & vidis. now, ahead of their album set for release in january, the >changed sampler< lands featuring a dub version of future classic anthem >changed< and three additional choice cuts. an apt advocate to the new age slow house sound they are making their own, mario & vidis will fully unveil their masterful debut album >changed< this coming winter but here lies a taste of both proceeding discs. a prelude to the wide musical terrain these lithuanian scene pioneers are striding through, the album sampler captures a glimpse of the epic soundscapes, hypnotic pop melodies and ghostly soul that ultimately leads into raw house on disc two.

mad limited edition of 200 copies only in coloured vinyl!incl. remixes by moullinex,jbag & social disco club!kamp!is a polish electronic pop trio - their sound is often described as melodic synth-pop influenced by 80s new wave, 70s krautrock and 90s french house genres! kamp! shared a stage with artists such as caribou, hurts, deadmau5, robyn, goldfrapp, m83, white lies, moderat, black lips, thieves like us, onra, egyptian hip hop or joakim & the disco. since autumn 2009 kamp! has also performed internationally in germany, us (culture collide in los angeles, sxsw in austin), uk (the great escape festival in brighton, liverpool music week, cargo in london), france (europavox), china (expo 2010) and czech republic.

the great strength of feindrehstar lies in their engaging and dynamic live-show on the stage. if you see them once, you must see them again. whether metalhead with a glass of beer, a dreadlocked queen or standard- issue club-goer, this band moves everybody. that feindrehstar also crafts music that from its source warmly hugs the listener is another plus they have going for them. these are supported on the latest from musikkrause by producers such as axel reinemer (jazzanova), michel baumann (soulphiction) & wendelin weiflbach (metaboman, krause duo).

while yacht refers to >dystopia (the earth is on fire)< as a post-apocalyptic fight song and a cautionary tale, the tracks chant-along melodies and unsparing synths nudge listeners far closer to dance than despair. from the sound of things, that reaction will likely also be elicited by two new remixes of the portland duos song, from their 2011 long player shangri-la. legendary production duo justin strauss and bryan mette, aka whatever/whatever, completely rework the sound of >dystopia< on their version, reorienting it with heavy doses of funk. while the original rides atop buzzing synths, the whatever/whatever remix adds a thick bassline and shimmery keyboards that leap out like solar flares. on the flipside, uk-based emperor machine starts their dystopia remix with a dubby feel – every vocal echoing endlessly – and then u-turns into wholly a updated, yet classic, disco sound. the rhythms are sultry, slinking behind a deep, repeated, synthline, its a recipe for an unexpectedly smooth, subtly hypnotic, and utterly danceworthy song.

nice price deal !!! following critically acclaimed releases with mordant music and further records earlier this year, ekoplekz delivers his first album for punch drunk.
dispensing entirely with notions of accessibility and dancefloor friendliness, >intrusive incidentalz vol.1< is a 12 track collection of dark, oppressive atmospheres and violently unstable interludes, developed through studio improvisation and inspired by childhood memories of terrifying electronic soundtrack music from the 1970s, yet combined with a post-dubstep sensibility and a sense of dread informed by the social, economic and political climate of life in 2011. a bleak retro-futurist fantasy, or oblique soundtrack for a broken britain? the truth probably lies somewhere between the two.

in the primordial soup that is the space often referred to as 130bpm, there lies a lot of dull debris and dirty detritus. but amidst the scattered grey asteroids lies a small but glittering phuture-star, damu, the newest signing to bass station keysound recordings. whereas much that surrounds him is ordinary and unremarkable, damus quadrant is a glittering explosion of hypercolour and kinetic movement, emotive energy and playful pulsations. to enter into its proximity is, in the nicest possible way, to be irradiated by a kind of cosmic glow rays that leaves you fuzzy and warm. the source for this remarkable sound, developed over a relatively short period, is his infectious enthusiasm and unrelenting positivity.

triangles angle is produced by hugo & sammy and it is inspired by the magical dimension of their city, turin. atmospheric and groovy, this release is thought to disseminate the philosophy that lies behind goodvibe records, explore electronic music and make people dance

in the south of panama lies the darien gap, a vast unpenatrable jungle swamp that divides central and south america. it is so hostile that even the pan american highway stops there in what would otherwise be a non-stop highway stretching from alaska to argentina. many explorers never returned and it is believed that the 10.000 square mile piece of green hell is home to secret guerilla bases, drug labs and many mysterious & dangerous animals.

how many people would have believed such a thing could work? would diva-like vocal grace and cool, calculated club sound efficiency not react like matter and anti-matter upon contact with one another? yet perhaps this is where the secret of her distant charm lies, the glamorously crafted cool, the vague elusiveness of aérea negrot. last year the venezuelan vocal wonder silenced any doubters with her first single >all i wanna do<, creating a new platform for her boundless range of musical expression alongside her career singing with hercules & love affair. now her second 12 inch is coming out on bpitch - just in time to set the tone for her coming solo album. the berlin sound wizard tobias freund is on hand once more to produce and mix ìright body, wrong timeî. he has commanded the mixing desk for a whole host of artists and labels from minus to warner over the last twenty years or so and made himself a regular fixture in the bpitch sound cosmos with his production work for ellen allien, dance disorder, heartthrob and indeed aérea negrot

on orlando britains follow-up to his yore debut, >beneath the surface<, the uk producer laid down the new releases material in west london, but its heart and soul lies an ocean away, as the >motor city< track title suggests, britains also got a soft spot for classic house and techno, as evidenced by the title he has given to the thirty-minute ep. his first ep had sold out in seconds and this one, coming in 2 different coloured vinyl versions is expected to disappear even quicker. first very limited pressing comes as white vinyl.

it seems that dapayk used to listen to a lot of hip-hop when he was younger. his latest ep for still vor talent >let go< has got these influences written all over it. the title track starts out with a male vocal and some sounds that sound a little like scratching before things then quickly head into the direction of the club. the vocal by singer camara could not be more reminiscent of 80s house music and this track has got all the soul and groove of this era. beneath the delicate vocal and sound patterns lies a wonderfully simply staccato house groove that is sure to get everyone shuffling. on the flip things get a little more techy with >nneka<, a deeper and more melodic tech house glider that gently takes the listener towards a harmonic state of mind. beautifully arpeggiated pads, a warm soulful groove and some reverbed vocals make this one. last up is the sample-based tech-house stomper >upyo< featuring production partner jon hester. this is loop heaven: a pushy beat loop with many snares, reverse samples and an unexpected saxophone melody make this one the perfect changeover track from warm-up to peak-time. this ep shows dapayks skills to combine many musical influences into his unique still of tech-house music

2004 double vinyl album by dark comedy aka kenny larkin.

cd version of this release included.

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.

to open eyes, not ears to hear what there is to see -- just one of the many paradoxes mainz-based butch manages to merge with verve. to capture the duality of his sounds that oscillate between under and over, techno and house, spirituality and marketability, club and home stereo, to celebrate the everyday high and question it at the same time, is just one of the many talents and specialties of this particular dj and producer whose light shines from the orient and whose future lies in yonderland. this and much more is the starting point for a terrific second long player, released by proud and excited bülent gürler himself on his very own, newly founded imprint bouq. leaving the flattering protection of his mayor label behind to spread his creative wings and fly around the world as free as a bird, the multi-facetted, mainz-based producer, more selfconfident and independent than ever, is presenting himself in the best party light
