glory opens with a dramatic intro of sampled, filtered horns ? dug from the crates old school style ? then, all of a sudden... the ambush! in comes a simple but rolling half step rhythm, soon charged with pounding subs. juakalis vocals flow over in perfect unison with the beats ? hes really on form here!

a classic bit of space disco from the french scene of the 70s. four long tracks that are all pretty darn moogy, and pretty darn great! the work here would fit nicely with some of the best keyboard heavy club of the us scene at the time! not exactly like some of the work on p&p, or the grooves of el coco over at avi - but not that dissimilar either, and often put together with a spare, simple approach thats a welcome contrast from overblown disco of the time! most numbers build up from a funky bassline and beats - adding in the keyboards with great relish, and really letting them jam and get crazy over the top. theres certainly a bit of cosmic fusion going on here too

the kazey & bulldog picture disc is followed by the first d2s release from our hero rod lee - a baltimore legend in his own right and in our eyes the no. 1 club producer, bar none. this super aggro dude has serious issues. he just needs to open his mouth and kids cry flames. for his first d2s release, rod commits re-mastered versions of two of our favourite cuts produced by the man. we first heard >understand< when we scored a bunch of scottie bs ebay auctions, and to this day its one of the best baltimore tracks ive ever heard. you can play this sh*t anywhere and the crowd just freaks out. hip hop heads love it, techno heads love it, even your girlfriend loves it. we coupled it with rods simple but ultra effective remix of the eurythmics classic, >sweet dreams<. when the catch an attitude tour dropped in on our club in glasgow, a-trak dropped this beast for all of 30 seconds and people went nuts. bannanas even. you could argue that the eurythmics remix thing is overdone and outdated, but if you did so, wed know for sure you hadnt heard rods version. anyway... we tracked it down and got it on the flip, so really this is more like a double a. both cuts are re-mastered (but still raw like the day they were made) and cut loud on heavy 12inch vinyl

continuing far outs 7inch series, joyce scats her way over two high octane bossas with an unmistakable feminina-style sound. this 7inch features an exclusive version of feijao com arroz - a track from joyces forthcoming cd yet here with a scorching bassline that differs from the album version and will ensure the tune gets flipped by those djs who know the damage a bass led bossa groove can do to a dancefloor. feijao com arroz - rice and beans - might be the simplest of brazilian dishes yet this track is a master class in samba jazz. joyce and her banda blend the basic ingredients of bass, drums, guitar and vocals into a rhapsodic groove that sounds like it could be a lost classic from seminal joyce albums such as feminina or tardes cariocas. joyce weaves a web of sonorous guitar work in between tuttys frenetic cymbal work as her scat lifts the tune high whilst a driving bassline pushes the groove low, surely putting feijao com arroz up there with the likes of aldeia de ogum and feminina. on the flipside lies penalty, a live favourite from joyces recent japanese tour. again on paper the ingredients look simple - bass, drums, guitar and vocals - yet in the hands of joyce and co the elements are blended together to create a celestial slice of spiritual jazz dance guaranteed to lift even the weariest of souls.

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything.

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. born in liverpool, his love for the music was passed on to him by his father, a record collector and former dj, who introduced him to crate-digging at the early age of eight. his roots stem from black music. hip-hop will become his musical bases before he discovers the acid-house explosion at the mythical hacienda in manchester. he naturally starts mixing in the late 80s/early 90s, playing a mixture of rare groove, deep-jazz, deep house, etc. he then turns to production and is noticed by gilb-rs fine-tuned ears who signs him on the spot. releases on labels like wavetec and mule musiq are planned further in the year. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything

williams is back with a brand new 12inch for get physical, el baile. the lead track immediately enthrals with its galloping kick, snare and analogue bass pattern, before a typically williams-eque, fat but understated electro motif, phased chords and crisp percussion edits propel it onwards into the heart of the dancefloor. >the unbearable truth< is a thrillingly modern, moody take on the straight-up acid track. a devastatingly simple, bending acid line lies at the heart of the track, but its the way the uncompromisingly linear beat and one-note bassline play off it that really makes this track fly. house music to get lost inside. >kiss of life< sounds every bit as vital and reviving as its title implies. its beauty lies in the intricate and expressive interplay of synths: beginning with a lowslung melodic motif, a more nimble, staccato bassline emerges, before the deep, kosmische-style chords arrive ahead of a powerful breakdown into heads-down techhouse strut.

siriusmo is modeselektors partner in crime and he has remixed simian mobile disco >it’s the beat< (best remix!!), boys noize, french yelle and of course modeslektor. on this mini album you will find 8 tracks that takes you on a journey from arpeggio tracks like >simple< or >diskozinzin< to 2008 discomusic like >diskoding<, >too simple< or >last dear<. the love anthem >mein neues fahrrad< got reworked by boys noize himself and is a sure shot to start the party right!

incl reboot remix !! wareika is the collaboration of henrik raabe and jakob seidensticker, both specialists in dub techniques (voidcom / ministry of sound, jubilee rec., ostwind rec, lebensfreude rec.), jack-of-all-trades florian schirmacher (philpot, cadenza, perlon, poker flat) and michael hank. >men village< – their first production as a collective - comes up with almost 15 minutes afrorelated drums and percussions, accompanied by warm analog-synth raster scanning and highlights, served on a pushing, strong-force but simple beat, that carries one’s body and on and on. reboot – the below and cadenza artist reduced the original to its more rhythm-based elements and added his typical trippin percussion twist

a two track 12 inch of electrifying, catchy and simply deep underground music. side a, espac ( the shorter name variation of espace), is a funky, moody and cosmic sound sculpture that fits well into the minimal tech category. this track contains a bass-laden brass morphing sound which converts to a more trumpet horn like sound. the loudness and resonance of this lead sound will definitely grab the attention of the audience. strings from outer space, claps with a live funky feeling, shuffled hats and a radioactive background noise >wicked!!! side b, f.e.b., contains more morphing and electrifying hi pass resonance chord sounds. these sounds are combined with a warm stringful waving wall sound, a heartbeat like pulsating bass line and a simple offbeat playing open hi-hats. this track is relaxing but exciting at the same time which is sure to pack the dance floor!!

bushwacka! brings the pain with two more must be heard techno monsters. both tracks carry the signature bushwacka! journey sound taking you on a pure audio tour. as always strictly limited vinyl release… back on top rocks and we mean rocks! pure hands in the air goodness, purpose built for the dancefloor. the all important matt b cymbal rides and a groove that only bushwacka! can achieve, guaranteed to take any crowd straight to the next level. grated goes deeper and fuses early house drum loops (with bushwacka!s trademark harder edge of course) with simple stabs and a groove laden bassline to perfection. a percussive assault of epic proportions. we defy anyone to be stood still when this one drops!

a very limited repress of technasias recreations series

incl prins thomas remix !! killer alert from blackbelt andersen... this fine former techno producer and co resident at the full pupp nights in oslo deliever yet another unexpected slow burner, but this time keeping it simple, building the track around a nagging acid groove. prins thomas adds some disco chic on the b-side and.... you should just buy this... ps: blackbelts debut album is just around the corner

2 re-worked versions of the beastie boys -fight for your right- the player & remady remix is one of those massive remixes that simple blows you away! -teardrops- is an excellent remake of the womack & womack classic!!

the original mix of tape replay is nearly nine minutes long and can only be described as a journey. its the perfect transition track, able to turn minimal sets into future disco, a house set into electro-funk, a techno set into a live jam-a-thon or a rigid set of any kind (like too many these days) into something with emotional depth. for remix duties we have enlisted our favorite producers will saul & tam cooper from simple records. much like their tech-house revision of phoniques bang, recently released on dessous, here on fresh meat they have put together a subtle yet bassy response to the wow & flutter original. the track builds and builds and at about three fourths through it explodes with lush keys, rich pads and a breakdown thats executed perfectly. these gents are on point and we are more than excited to have them along for the trip.

nu school of deep house ! baaz music has matured so much in a couple of years, it is now something very special, that appears simple to your ears but is indeed properly produced and incredibly deep. baaz gained as well with hes recent works hes very own sound signature that is really incredibly sweet, groovy, intelligent and properly swinging. we think that this is one of our pearl record and we are simply proud of pressing it on black wax. dont believe the hype, copies remains copies, the truth is in the original !!

roland clark presents urban soul returns with a swingin jazzy house tune that ll make you shake your rump. roland is on the mic, egging people on to enjoy themselves, fortifying the purpose of a party. mr. v gives us a pumpy but deep mix with a faint victrola background hook. the 5 beats mix (named after the paris/nyc party with franck roger & alix alvarez) is a straight up simple shoo be doo repetitive jammin dub. the original mix gives the full essence with a more mainstream radio appeal. just let go & have fun!

a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.

excellent release by one of the most revolutionary artists for deep house in spain, his name, jesus gonsev from cuidad real. the manchego native rounds out the tenth vinyl release of house cafe music with a definitive american sound from the early 90s. the future of this artist looks bright as he is poised to release more records on soul cafe music from south africa and gotta keep faith records. next to me, the title track of this ep brings memories of the productions of steve bug or gamat 3000 from the dessous glory days, lots of groove with simple elements which make it both mixab le and danceable. so deep, has already garnered the attention of house legends such as larry heard and ame, who have already included this track in their sessions.

aus continue to release the best and brightest of contemporary dance music with the oehug the scary ep, a collaboration between luminaries will saul and lee jones. will saul is best known as the head of simple records, up for nomination as best british label in dj magazine this year and also sister label to the more experimental aus imprint on which this ep is released. in his career to date he has released numerous singles on simple, the critically acclaimed space between album and has recently produced an ep for the german label systematic. englishman in berlin lee jones has to date released acclaimed singles on liebe detail, aus and his own label, just rec. formerly releasing under the moniker hefner , he is also a main creative force behind playhouse my my, whose oesongs for the gentle album won plaudits worldwide in 2006. opener oehug the scary is a transcendental journey. trace echoes of melody encircle an intensifying percussive step, filtering to a chimed key reflection. tonal themes fade in, compete, distort and then depart, making way for peaks of overwhelming melody, with only the fittest surviving and elevating to the sublime. on the flip side, partial arts (the duo of ewan pearson and al usher) give their own, heavily percussive, account of proceedings. stormy fuzz and bubble bath accents introduce a funk bassline and interplay between looped guitar and tonal melody. a sci-fi synth haze halts and then dictates the progression into a saturated melodic climax.

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer

heres two new uptempo instrumental tracks from lindstrom just in time for the summer. breakfast in heaven sounds like something edward grieg could have made if he ever got a chance to work with sequencers. blast of loser is a percussive track with distorted clavinet-feedback on top of simple rolling drums. bol has been remixed by mungolian jet set last year, but its about time to release the original version

another incredible, time- and boundariless offering from john daly with waves of distorted synth incessantly ascending, overlaping, collapsing over a simple but effective house beat gently pushing you into a calm state of euphoria. flip over for a beatless ambient version reminiscent of experimantal 70s synth music

kaoz finally gets techno mastermind robert natus for a release on his imprint wired. a great 3-track ep which offers more than simple distortion sounds and beats. this is definitly the evolution of hardtechno and shows the creative skillz of robert
