encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

treated with love by ellen allien, josh wink, laurent garnier, robag wruhme, mathias kaden, adultnapper, butane, donk boys, falko brocksieper, james teej, nick höppner, the cheapers, mr.statik, sonja moonear, vincent lemieux... music with its seven notes, coming back to its first one at the octave: simple, limitless and ad infinitum. this is the next clever coup from zurich.
>ave leo< is an homage to life. the three guys from pompelmoessap lay it on thick and dally over a tenderly melting melody, skillfully play with shakers, drum cuts and low deep down effects. evoking a conjuring atmosphere that gets under your skin. the groove is right. the sun rises, early in the morning at the club.
on the b-side you will find a collectible, an everlasting trip of melancholic club couch music with bob dylans cultural message from the 70ies. ion ludwig looks at >spiritual devil< as a kind of protest against all those 2d digitally recycled techhouse sounds, which are released every day en masse. here plays timeless music for connoisseurs who want to feel and think while listening. smoke some weed before listening. peace.

in japanese niwa means garden. the concept of what an album should be is really taken seriously here. with >niwa< what you open your ears and emotions to isnt just another loose bundle of tracks. all the single stories, element by element, are constantly fusing together into a greater whole. this is rippertons world. he draws on all the influences that have journeyed with him as a passionate musician on life’s long and winding road. influences far beyond dark booming warehouse parties abound, and are just as likely to conjure up vivid images of dewy lausanne sunsets. folk tinged downbeat experiments peacefully co-exist with delicious jazz blueprints and sublime ambient soundscapes, sitting in harmony with deeply hypnotic house grooves.

since his last release on circus company (fleurette ccs033), djulz add been quite busy in the sutdio. he did a lot of remixes for slam on soma, matthew dear on get physical, 2000 & one on 100%, arnaud le texier on 20:20 vision and spencer parker on rekids. hes now back with a freshly baked 3 tracker called rotondo. thats also the track title of the a side. rotondo is techy and slightly dark. there you feel a constant pressure that will leeds you to euphoric pad which is just a simple saxophone screaming sample. on the b side we are getting into some naïve and housy feeling with on the road. then ideas are fishes is closing down the record on catchy vocal hook. that king of track to keep the party rolling. once again d julz delivers some great cuts that should be soon on rotondo everywhere

prime numbers are back with e11.... the latest in the pn e.p series. three exclusive tracks by mr scruff & kaidi tatham, motor city drum ensemble and andrés! this time we feature a heavyweight collaboration between mr scruff & kaidi tatham who provide a smouldering jazz-house production with kaidi leading the way on keys and flute on top of a chunky, bottom-heavy groove. motor city drum ensemble drops a killer raw cut. a heavily smashed jackin’ disco workout with all the markings of a fine cajual dub or early striclty rhyhtm. the track oozes soul and is unpretentiously aimed at the dancefloor. once again danilo plessow proves less is more. andrés completes the line up with a cheeky blend of some classic ingredients. sounding like a track from his early releases, “jack city” has all the essential hallmarks of the andrés sound with an excellently simple but purely effective fusion of house and hiphop ethics

nice price deal !!! back from the dark streets of manhattans west side scndl comes creeping back into the picture. reminiscent and inspired by old chicago house from the likes of master c&j, need to know asks you, what gets you in. this time around theres a devastating set of mixes from across the atlantic. the uks lee mortimer takes the main riffs and raves it up with his turbulent basslines while markus lange & sterofunk keep it on the deeper side of dark electro. fukkk offf wraps up the package with a simple yet effective edit that fattens things up on the bottom while keeping it glued to the floor. what gets you in?

dug up from the crypts this one is set to explode. todd terry esque synth stabs over top of some larry levan flavored beats. all the accapella pieces are included and on the flip joeski gets to work and brings this retro house jam to the forfront. with a simple bassline and some dubbed out effects on top and a harder kick...

arms goes japan! on the seventeenth cut we present a mindblowing japanese line up, which will take you straight to the land of the rising sun. we welcome the talented newcomers asagaoaudio and kyoudai itsumo, both part of the new wave of japanese industrial techno producers. beside fresh blood we also present some experience on the black gold. takaaki itoh and go hiyama have been partners in crime on stage for a while now and its about time they share the same vinyl on arms. prepare for some cutting edge, razorsharp dark metallic rhythms and sonic structures straight from japan.

another double vinyl of amazingly well crafted detroit techno, from the master of dark, mysterious & sci fi-edged techno tracks, a vintage mills with his imaginative forays into the future. 4 long tracks: medium gray, resonate: the seduction of decaying expectations, filters a/b: the urge to swirl alone in a pool of ridicule, simple degrading devices of reflectivity.

tiger supported by... rob da bank, kiko, markus kavka, mihalis safras, justin berkovi, ivan smagghe, orde meikle... moonbeam are back on traum! the russian brothers had a great year and have been voted as one of the top 100 djs worldwide by uk dj mag, in december 2009. we think they are wonderful, dedicated people who really deserve winning this award. with their new a-side track >tiger< moonbeam show their timeless quality and their deep knowledge of music, writing a seemingly simple but gigantic track. if you want to express in words what this track is like you might say it is a hybrid of joe beltrams >energy flash< fuelled with a melodic note and a lot of post-techno feeling. creating a revival of rave which so many people speak about, but so few actually reflect in theirproductions! the energy of this dark monumental new school acid track is counteracted by the two tracks on the flipside >land of the lost (strict mix)< and >zoo<. the b1-track >land of the lost< sounds like a soundtrack for a film set in a ghost-town in the midwest of the united states. a track that travels like a camera does... through different rooms of a deserted mansion. the b2-track >zoo< is the beat track of the record. it relies on its cool driving sequences and the hypnotic feeling it creates through them. adding small changes here and there that keep the track constantly going.

pure and simple brazilian houser on ssoh produced by claude monnet and featuring a host of live musicians as well as the lush vox of brazilian singer monica nogueira. all mixes have a rich vibe to them and there are two beats only mixes as well.

strongest yamyam release so far, just listen!

matt star: wow, very very nice release, i like both sides, in my charts...
frank leicher: cool release again on yamyam

from the studio of scott grooves... modified suede... music that you can feel. great selection of basic house tracks in the vein of his recent scott grooves release on clone (coco brown). this is a special tribute to clean simple rhythm tracks and scott grooves shows that being one of the first techno musicians on the planet doesnt have to mean that the passion for pure dance music has to disappear after so many years in the music bizz. excellent collection of tracks that lean towards classic house music, but with that fresh simple approach of many of the new school house producers! very much recommended!
