the topic of >salome< fits the two producers kadebostan and laolu from switzerland perfectly. just listen to their prior releases on freude am tanzen, fenou or clap your hands. the melodies sway back and forth - dreamy and full of peace. the rhythm group plays along and only the most necessary things. and even though the vocal phrases retain their own character, they blend into this musical structure as if they were made for these tracks. the a and the b face show a masterly crafted arrangement. it would be a mistake not to listen to the whole, as one would miss the feeling to let yourself go. as usual, the lovingly designed 10inch record is a limited edition and numbered by hand

der dritte raum is a super project at constant altitude flight. releasing music on labels such as harthouse and cocoon since the early ninetees der dritte raum has established a name for high quality electronic music and a live show you will never forget. with their Überhit >swing bop< 3 years ago der dritte raum has kicked off a still going roaring-20s-hype in the electronic music scene in berlin and anywhere else. now here we go with the remixes of this epic piece. the question was: who could remix this unique track withut making it just a worse copy of the original? the answer: t.raumschmiere might turn this track into a dirty wrecking rave monster and as a complementary addition, acid pauli might be a good choice to take the track in a totally different direction. well, t.raumschmiere did what we expected, just in an even better way than we hoped, and acid pauli did as well. he gave swing bop an outfit that makes it sound even more dreamy and out of time and space. enjoy!

we met fred ventura in 2006 over emails sent to italians do it better headquarters. he was one of the first people from europe to start writing the label prior to after darks release. it took us a few months to realize that this was fred ventura, the cult italo legend from milan. like a true gentleman, he had never bothered to mention it. since the early 1980s fred ventura has released numerous singles in europe & toured the world extensively as a solo artist. last year, johnny was in bologna on tour with desire & fred came out to the show to drink champagne & bring us some copies of the reissued tapes of fred’s early post punk group state of art. the lightbulb lit up & we asked him if he had any home recordings of his solo work. months later, he sent us 83 tracks of cassette recordings between 1982 & 1987. they had been sitting upstairs in a dusty box at his parents house in italy for the last 25 years. these tracks have only been heard by a handful of his closest friends. we were completely floored & honored! finding a beautiful treasure completely untouched & preserved is so rare. the songs are raw & honest written by a romantic with a love for an anthemic chorus & a drum machine running through his veins. think early minimal depeche mode with an italian heart. ornew order covering madonna produced moroder. yes, its that good. here we have the first official italians do it better release of these songs on a 4 song 12inch ep. this vinyl only release is a teaser for the >dont give up< 18 track lp out in a couple of months. so in the meantime, slip on those gucci loafers, rev up the alfa romeo and head down to the discotheque because life is too short

the bearfunk bandwagon just keeps rolling! not content with providing some of the best moments in leftfield dance we again head back to italy so clap rules can show us their >golden hands<.
clap rules is the new pseudonym of fabrizio mammarella, andrea gabriele and max leggieri: who in their own words >make experiments with dance music<. after well received ep’s for labels like tiny sticks & dissident and remixes for dfa artist michoacan, new yorks in flagranti and french electronic music pioneer etienne de crecy. they have caught the attention of djs and music lovers from many different scenes. with a deep love for vintage equipment and recording techniques they mix this up with a fresh modern approach to concoct electronic music with no boundaries, which in itself is what bearfunk is all about, so this marriage was made in heaven.

alex_q is not really unknown in our small family. he show off his talent last year in spring with the >endlich frühling ep< here on mgf. this time he will be even more intimate. as the name suggests, its all about a girl. but who are we to talk about this. there are much more talented people who have done this much better than we can. we just let the music talk. enjoy!

the latest immerse cut sees the label tapping once again into the fertile waters of haunting, leftfield 4/4, showcasing the hitherto unknown talents of el kid. the eagle-eared out there may have picked up on the young echo radio show, which features sam kidel (to his folks) alongside west-country compatriots kahn, vessel and zhou showcasing their new tracks and mixes. for most though, this will be the first they hear of the bristol-born, brighton-based producer. on both tracks the synthetic sheen of detroit techno gets refigured into an almost downtempo kind of house music. the melody is king, whatever sonic texture it might manifest in, leaving you with ample layers to get engrossed in. that same quintessential yearning quality ensures that these first offerings from el kid fit perfectly into the immerse canon. it will shake the right kind of dancefloor, but it will also tug at the right kind of heart-strings as well.

a true master of the deeper arts, phonique has, since his first steps into the world of production back in the early 2000s, become synonymous with and eulogised for his beautifully cultured productions. labels such as simple, buzzin fly, souvenir and of course systematic have all played host to his music, but it s his work for steve bugs dessous imprint for which he is most renowned. first up is phoniques solo production, >2 my jungle< which sees him step into jacking tech-house territory. lovely open hi-hats are paired with the punch of the kick drum. a trumpet riff enters the fray, backed by the grooving throb of the bassline. its vocal samples are twisted and filtered throughout as phonique creates a wonderfully trippy summer anthem. on the flip he teams up with desolat badboy, guti. still riding high on the wave of support for his fantastic debut album >patio de juegos<, the argentinian producer phonique show just how much fun they can have in their electronic playground. beautifully deep and with a lush rhodes melody, >divertimento< entices us with its sultry summer vibes. a polar opposite, yet complete match to the a-side

hailing from the sunny land of kazahstan, wonderkid command strange has already become a household name for all lovers of both the big heavy smashers and musical side of dnb. having got acquainted with jungle in the tender age of 7, it didn’t take a while for him to get into production. his unique production and sound productions quickly gained support from scene’s heavyweights like goldie, ltj bukem, dj marky, fabio & grooverider, artificial intelligence, bryan g, twisted individual and others. command strange is undoubtly a name to watch in the years ahead.the weighty ‘bingo’ was first played at metalheadz in may and ended up being the big tune of the night with the crowd going crazy for 2 rewinds. mr lonely show’s the other side of his versatile production’s with a smooth j dilla influenced roller.

trio techno cover, it was just a question of time to reach the point when wayne considers himself to be the one to create a musical statement in order to show what he thinks about all the current status of some parts of the electronic dancemusic circus. he still suffers from too much so called >minimal< in his eyes and he wants back the energy he is missing on many occasions… >you know, techno without bass is like f…… without screwing him in…< some might say he s too late with this song, but thats simply wayne! in his universe the meaning of time is different to what we all would expect. anyway, he finally checked out garage band on the mac he recently >lended< from somebody he does not even know, and here we go with his first very own song. lyrics in german only and heavily inspired by one of the biggest hits from the 80ies from the german cult-formation >trio<, but to make a long story short: its waynes message that the so called minimal sound is definitely over now: >always klick and always klack, i can not tell how much it sucks...<

the good the bad the ugly the evil is a full on and brandnew 4 track ep from our cologne artist roland m. dill. roland has worked here with a stronger live-set up resulting in tracks more organic. developing from within rather than being developed, the tracks seem to have a stronger hypnotic edge to them. according to the titels the track all show diffferents characteristic. starting with the evil this track is not very obvious but works very much by itself, whereas the good is a perfect intermezzo for djs who really build up their sets with a lot of skill. the ugly is a mental track... it has stunts, it screams, it sees no end... this is mandness on the highest level and also the bad is written in this veain.
played by: martin eyerer, umek, sian, stephan bodzin, patrick pulsinger, orde meikle/ slam, paco osuna, mihalis safras, dubfire, john digweed, deepchild, jens lissat, blind minded, sebastian russell, gow, zidan, scott byrne, danny tenaglia ...

tuccillo is a rare producer as he lives and works in ibiza all year round rather than flies in for the summer. the white island is without doubt the most overused and abused place on earth for dance music promotion, but beneath the glam superficial surface a real scene of native island talent is emerging. so when it came to making an ep for 2020vision we pushed the artist as far as we felt he could go, to explore new untried directions and show his diversity. tuccillo showed his true spirit and worked though a few knockbacks from our a/r team until we were happy we had the best ep possible at this moment

pattern select aka milton jackson and show-b have gone well and truly back to the raw on this, their first collaborative work together and debut ep for delusions of grandeur. both producers have been busy on some top quality projects just recently with milton jackson remixing recloose for planet e and show b producing for robert owens on compost. the pair met at a party in munich, promptly fell in love, and soon enough pattern select was born. kicking off tale of the tape sees the pair go deep n dark on this low-slung groove where demonic laughter rides the driving hats and insesant crashes until the filtering arpeggiated synth line joins the fun. tale of the dub gives us a stripped back, dub-infused version which goes a little lighter on the craziness of the first version but without losing any of the deep, hypnotic funk.

incl live act & ostwind sticker! sandru is the name of the young argentinean, who made his debut on fievuntwintig and entered the playlists of catz & dogz, kiki, stephan bodzin or cumiks with his track >late night stories<. now it is about time for him to show how electronic awareness of life feels in south america with his >argentina ep< on ow036. he shifts sound aesthetics as well as emotions and his tunes move directly and incredibly intuitive into the listeners ears. dj-optimized arrangements, detroit techno harmonies and terrifically minimal techno grooves & rhythms make for sandrus >argentinia ep< to be one of ostwinds most true releases.

dubline records unveils their next release by the neurodub duo that runs the dubline camp - melamin & wicked sway. the theory behind this production outfit is balance. neurologically the human brain percieves information to be incomplete if it is not symmetrical. in a practice of endless work ethic the sound design interfaces perfected beats that have an even balance of elements. the process in which people follow music as a path is implied in the waking of the conscious mind while in it spirit. the thought process of their approach to neuro is always written for the peoples natural instinct to follow obvious paths of information that can be used to direct the appliance of listening as a being of light tunes in and drops out the appropriate information. thus by drawing attention to the information the focus remains to show the difference between the foreground and background. a focal point is intended to encourage the listener to always furthur the exploration of the information presented. using elements that are different to show that they are clearly different components of presented information and yet both also with similarity to those of the same reference. its simply easier for ones step towards enlightenment in the experience of being human to realize the thought process and recognize the ego, reminding at the expense of the thinking brain that its cheaper to die.

the adventurous, forward-thinking sound of >aerobics in space< was the perfect fit for the flip side of this serato pressings. international tastemaker gilles peterson said on his bbc radio 1 show that the song >reminds me of jean luc pontys in the fast lane. it was a kind of a crazy, ahead-of-its-time tune, and this track is all over that vibe. i m loving it!<

kieren dickins aka dels is a new type of rapper (which is another way of saying that heãs more than just a rapper). applying the kind of attention to detail, micro-management and macro-vision which jay-z used to build a business empire, dels makes art. popular art mind you, but art all the same, an album of emotional peaks, musical innovation and surreal, brilliant lyrics, held together by such a unique, such a strong vision that it sounds almost silly to suggest itãs just a debut. already causing a stir with the tasters ¶shapeshift÷ and ¶trumpalump÷ (and the videos he masterminded for them), everything is now ready to show how these pieces fit into the bigger picture.

unos second release comes from montreals jacques greene. in his north american debut, we bring you two new tracks that reveal a darker, acid housed side of the lauded producer. lay it down unites bass swing with a floor shaking acid line thats known to make rooms dance like autism. new york house standards whatever/whatever give the flip side a jacking make over of 90s proportions. the hard hitting >what are you feelin< (which has been received much uk in the past year, including mary ann hobbs bbc show) finishes off the 12 inch, builds up the grand finale, after which you might find yourself in a puddle of something wet, wondering where greene went.
