one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

incl. rmx by dubbyman & above smoke , we go deep again! its a great pleasure to welcome one of these up and coming spanish deep house lads, ernie. ernie has been around for quite some time, but now hes breaking through with his classic, deep detroit house style. the deeptical tracks ep is an emotional piece of wax, and the remix courtesy of dubbyman & above smoke let us think of some early 808 state tracks. if you didnt check those spanish labels out yet, do it now: deep explorer (dubbyman, the leader of spanish deep house), signs of authority, cornuta sounds or ernies minuendo label, where also the likes of jus ed, patrice scott or antonelli electr. are releasing their atmospheric tracks - you wont ernie be dissapointed

nice price deal !!! dub police has become one of the dubsteps dominating labels, with some of the biggest artists involved in the genre. with a healthy back catalogue and some heavy forthcoming releases lined up, dub police shows no signs of slowing down. giant hail from russia and debut on dub police.

welcome to the new single from faze action taken from their eagerly anticipated album, stratus energy. theremins, clavs, rock guitar riffs and spacey disco vocals make good lovin sound like a classic disco track from the early 80s but in fact its brand new, with a heavy dose of contemporary production in the classic faze action style. the reflex mix has a more stripped down electronic feel, added keys and a boogiefied bass while the shogone deep mix is a more house based mix with tuff, snappy beats. with limited promos, good lovin has already been causing a stir in the disco scene and in the main stream, already receiving spins from pete herbert, of reverso 68 and joey negro in ibiza during the summer, showing early signs of appealing to a wider audience

he second decade of abstract releases is coming closer with rapid strides. hardtechno with soul? krischmann & klingenbergs tracks are always something extraordinary and this is reason enough to sign their new zodiac signs ep for the nineteenth release on abstract. chosen as best newcomer 2008 no. 10 and best track no. 11 in the annual raveline poll these two guys are outstanding producers and needless to say a rockin act.

reissue of album from 1975/a satisfying dramatics collection that includes their revised, campy version of me and mrs. jones, which had remained a staple of their live shows. astrology was riding high in the mid 70s, and (i m going by) the stars in your eyes provided fodder for astrological discussions as the guys poo poohed the differences in personality traits associated with the signs. a good balance of fast and slow tunes helps make this album a winner. good things dont come easy and never let you go are two frantic dancers that chug along faster than a speeding locomotive, while trying to get over losing you succeeds in treating losing your lover in a positive, uplifting way. the guys must have been loaded with material to keep this one off a 45. likewise for the aching, painful i cried all the way home, one of tony hesters best compositions, and easily the best ballad on the album.

fine arranged melodies from multiple sound sources, as stated in his biography, are the building blocks of which daniel mehlhart considers to be the essence of good music. putting what he preaches into practice has affirmed the 22-year-old swiss born, frankfurt am main resident, as one of the most exciting new talents in the underground tech-house movement. his most acclaimed release was the harp-tinged origami, released last summer on kindisch, which catapulted him into the record bags and charts of a slew of seasoned djs during the end of last summer. >scharade< is an example of young daniel sticking to what he does best, mixing and blending techno. atmospheres and sonic images while still animating an organic and natural vibe over the tracks. liberal amounts of percussion and a middle eastern or asian vocal dramatically pitched this tune beyond recognition watermark with a style and a vibe that he has helped to advance. the house roots of >distracted conscience< are present right from the onset. using a double pump kick to inject a pinch more of energy into the already flourishing habitat of off-kilter and spooky sound effects. so many in fact it is easy to see how he came up with the name, >distracted conscience<, as there are more effects floating around in this track than thoughts in the head of an 8-year-old who forgot his daily dose of ritalin. he turns to an ethnic vocal on >alura< again, but keeping the overall mood of this outing a bit deeper. he pulls out even more percussion instruments including extra shakers, toms and bongos all marching along harmoniously. this is a head down, hands-up, side-to-side bopper that just keeps quietly elevating as subtle elements are added and subtracted throughout the duration of the tune. a coherent composition and dj tool all in one. although this is his second release there are no signs of a sophomore slump anywhere in site, as daniel mehlharts talent lies in his unique, but subtle ability to gel different eleme

a new beginning is always an euphoric and scary step towards the unknown. the euphoria comes right after the original idea, when first signs of feasibility are shown. then comes reality. i think that nobody is able to eradicate reality (or what a common society sees of it) out of his mind, though art allows us to escape temporally this fiction. its not an easy task to achieve and artists hold in their hands, intellects, souls and guts a great responsibility. terpsichór? will be a support that transfers this responsibility to others: the artists, the public, the crowd, the souls, the dancefloor

like a proper immigrant family enjoying the life of culturally greener pastures, the vakant family continues to grow in berlin. closely following the exponential trend of mergers and acquisitions in the multi national corpo borg, vakant heavy industries signs the third in a series of new talent to the team. berlins dewalta a.k.a. david koch, long time friend of vakant, has completed assimilation into the freaky fold. a side salgaro is about as obese as a track can get. its happy, its huge, its pan ethnic, its sensitive, its irreverent. its so good it was immediately used for onur ozers up coming club dj mix cd. on the aa side farina lives. its freakier, its smoother, its quirkier, its cup runs massively over. we are talking insulin shock plump. we cant even identify which genres it spans. it sounds like the amalgamation of everything currently succulent and lots more that will be

nach drei alben auf kompakt, zuletzt signs under test- im jahr 2015, kehrt der us-amerikanische house- und techno-produzent john tejada mit dem elf-tracker dead start program zum kšlner label zurźck. eine reise, die das spektrum von johns stilen umfasst - von seinen charakteristischen soul-techno-melodien bis hin zu den hypnotischen mustern seiner trance-electro-hybride. ob solo oder durch seine vielzahl von kollaborationen tejada beschŠftigt sich mit allen elementen innerhalb und au§erhalb der club-umgebung. sei es auf seinem (44.) fabric mix, als schlagzeuger mit der detroit legende daniel bell als dbx, mit tin man auf acid test oder mit dem selbsternannten desinformator reggie watts als wajatta. vom arrhythmischen maschinenspuk des openers autoseek źber den hŠmmernden puls von hypochondriac und dem schwerlidrigen breakbeat von sleep spindle zur kosmische infundierten vibration von telemetry, der lebendigen traegheit von loss und clubbigen winde von duty cycle und heal bahnt sich john auf dead start program seinen weg durch genres und tempi mit optimalem chamaeleon-effekt. das artwork, basierend auf einem bild von mark richards, wurde von johns langjŠhrigem freund juan mendez aka silent servant, ein ebenfalls wichtiger mitwirkender der los angeles szene, designed. der titel dead start program bezieht sich hierbei auf das analoge start-up-programm eines alten cdc 6600 computers aus einem toten anfang zu booten. dies lŠdt in johns eigenen worten metaphorisch dazu ein, einen neustart von den herausforderungen, die das leben mit sich bringt zu beginnen.

this is gajek. this is 17. come in, feel free. dont worry if you see a flute in the sink. matti gajek s followup to his 2014 debut album restless shapes opens the floodgates to signals from a future best navigated by ear. moving through polyphonic pulses, layers of grooves and sounds, zooming in and out of ever evolving patterns of concentration and decomposition, the ten tracks of gajeks 17 are electrifyingly futuristic clubmusic true to the almost five decades old motto of berlins zodiak free arts lab: ãtotal freie musik - totally free music. paying tribute to electronic pioneers like hans-joachim roedelius and florian fricke while staying clear of historical mystification gajek revisits the abstract clarity and improvisational audacity of 1970s electronics from a perspective this is not 71. today motoric rhythms emerge and elapse from postdigital aural scapes, intense and sublime, linking the thermodynamic to the ephemeral. beyond the echoes of past utopias 17 discovers present signs for possible tomorrows.

huge liquid d&b story...

nice price !! howlings album -sacred ground- und seine entstehung stehen fźr viele dinge gleichzeitig: zusammenarbeit, improvisation, einfachheit und zufŠlle. obwohl er gerade das demo-level źberschritten hatte, ging der ursprungstrack -howling- anfang 2012 (via dixons boiler room set) viral und erregte in der gesamten elektronischen musikszene aufmerksamkeit, erklomm charts und gewann awards. keiner der beiden beteiligten - singer/songwriter ry x und åme-produzent/innervisions-chef frank wiedemann - hatte das erwartet

als in den spŠten 80er jahren die ersten outdoor-trance-partys im indischen bundesstaat goa stattfanden, hŠtte niemand gedacht, dass sich dieser trend so lange halten bzw. weiterentwickeln wźrde. kaum eine andere dance-szene in europa hat ein grš§eres zusammengehšrigkeitsgefźhl als die goa-szene. hier wird musik und alles, was damit zusammenhŠngt, noch gelebt. zu keinem genre gibt es eine ausgeprŠgtere und besser entwickelte -underground--partyszene, in zahlreichen foren und communities stehen die fans in regem kontakt. stŠndig finden kleinere veranstaltungen statt, und im sommer sind die gro§en festivals und partys wie waldfrieden wonderland, vuuv festival, alice im wummerland oder psy-purgisnacht immer ausverkauft.

mit ihrem 1998 er debźtalbum -wormhole- Šnderten ed rush & optical den drum & bass fźr immer. das album gilt seitdem als zeitloser klassiker des genres, seine macher stiegen ohne umwege direkt in den drum & bass-olymp auf und inspirieren die szene bis heute. nun steht ihr fabric-mix an, mit dem sie wieder verdeutlichen, wer weiterhin das zepter in der hand hŠlt. fabric live 82 ist ein mammutmix aus 39(!) tracks mit vielen exclusives, unveršffentlichten tracks und mixes und kurztrips in die drum & bass-historie. ein schneller, furioser und hochenergetischer ritt durch ein genre, das gekommen ist, um zu bleiben.

northern lite mit ihrem zehnten album, einer platte ohne nostalgie und rźckblick, und trotzdem ist die nummer 10 eine vervollstŠndigung der band-geschichte. alben wie unisex, super black oder letters & signs haben elektronische musik auf ganz ungeahnte weise mit pop und rock vereint. die clubs haben sich gewandelt, die festivals vergrš§ert northern lite sind bestŠndig. ihre hits laufen im radio, ihre fans sind ihnen treu und auch das neue album wird ganz traditionell keine konstruktion, sondern eine momentaufnahme sein.

prosumer, gebźrtiger saarlŠnder und begeisterter fan des klassischen house ‡ la chicago, detroit und new york, mixt nach zeitlos guten releases auf ostgut ton, playhouse, mobilee und get physical die neue fabric-cd, die zu einem statement seines tadellosen geschmacks und seiner dj-technik wird. so sehr sein vielfŠltiges house-set mit unvorhersehbaren entwicklungen auch źberraschen mag, so kompakt ist dessen flow. es ist an der zeit fźr den undergroundhelden, seine geliebten klassiker in frisches licht zu setzen.

modeselektion vol. 03- kommt erstmals ohne eigenen modeselektor-beitrag aus (vom souleyman-edit mal abgesehen), einfach, weil es so viel gute musik von alten und neuen freunden gab. das ganze ist daher erstmals auf einer zweifach-cd zu haben, au§erdem als digital bundle und, leicht abgespeckt, auch als doppel-12-inch-lp sowie auf zwei ep-auskopplungen auf vinyl. 19 tracks, lauter sź§e frźchtchen. das maskottchen ist diesmal nicht umsonst der ananasaffe.

liquicity records proudly presents her second album project escapism. unlike the galaxy of dreams album, liquicity has gathered a series of melancholic, chilled and mellow tracks that form a harmonious journey through todays liquid drum and bass. 14 exclusive new tracks by artists such as bachelors of science, bcee, maduk, keeno, fliwo and champion. the 12inch sampler contains the tracks by bachelors of science and maduk and the album will be available on cd as well.
