special nice price action...
>fascination< incorporates synthetic rave lines, driving drums and super effective arrangements. >in the sound< works with a very simple bassclick which develops into pure dancefloor dynamite with acidish toppings and mean vocals..

dreamy and epic at the same time, phoskitos is a >state-of-the-art< trancer, taking its cues both from the trademark factor city sound (the lethal combination of fat bass and spiralling synths best witnessed in undo & vicknoise 12s) and the new wave of uk producers (holden & the border community crew). >el tren asesino< is a tigh minimal groover, based around a couple of simple, mind piercing, synth bleeps, a tension builder track that has already been packing dancefloors while playtested by the factor city djs. >dismonster< nicely complements the package, with its dizzy, bubbling bassline and nostalgic melody, it developes nicely with unexpected turns, stops and twists

limited 6x12inch incl cool hardbox. state of the art! this is short and simple, and the best way to describe the cocoon compilations a to e.this motto is also true for the latest issue: the cocoon compilation f is without doubt the hottest collection of exclusive tracks of the hippest producers, newcomers and hit suppliers within the last months. here, minimal meets tech house, with the result that both the club-orientated tech head as well as the electronic music fan in his living room are happy: open your mind! adam kroll, pier bucci, 2000 and one, guido schneider, someone else, ruede hagelstein, gregor tresher, alex smoke, guy gerber and more top freaks !!

after his comeback single for playhouse we salutÉ nick calingaert back on the block with this detroit influenced italo stormer. analog feeling is the key word here ! straight jacking chicago groove with a murder bassline and soaring strings takes the track to higher level while slightly misjointed analogeffects tackles your toes. phonique who is currently riding high with remixes and releases on fine, simple and buzzing fly turns >through< into summer maddnesswith groovy drumprogramming and a strong breakdown perfect for those outdoor parties we all wait for !holmar filipsson (from mr negative/thugfucker fame) is keeping it real with a even more summery feel with light melancolic string work and minimal beats. with his own words >this is happy house as its best< – we think so too !

techno for whirrled peas, simple and serious message, is in perfect harmony with the solemn butane s music but also with the records artwork, the wheel on the a side is a symbol of peace. this new record is simply >bewitching<, it should rock the crowd with his exhilarating rhythms, hypnotic basslines and disturbing atmospheres, sometimes reminiscent of minus. the a side >world peace< is an overpowering dancefloor anthem, while on the b side >black rob s acid< and >working title< add a deeper vibe to make this a more than solid 12inch. butane therefore enriches the roman,photo family with his emotional techno… already support from luciano (cadenza), troy pierce (minus rec)...

dave taylor and jesse rose have been working together as induceve for about 6 years now. this is their second release on dubsided and as the title track >warehouse shit< has been knocking about for a minute, its good to see the vinyl is out now. a1 warehouse shit – so there s going to be comparisons with >higher state of consciousness< but what the hell, it smashes the floor every time its played. its squelchy, bumpy, and all pinned down by a simple but effective groove. b1 stay cool - proper underground mischief. bumps along nicely. as the title suggests this track stays cool, doesn t get too hectic - just a bass line, relevant hooks and automated lead synth line. b2 why burn - cool, heavier and altogether less deliberate. the deeper side of induceve with a definite chicago, sneak-type feel

danish lad who has been knocking out the big floor rocking electro house cuts for labels like c2 and whoop under his alse monniker lifting it up a notch here with this tasty number on litmus highly hooky and based around a simple yet very effective bassline with some uplifting synths thrown in over the top remix comes from the beatchuggers

the danish born producer and dj christian bloch, actually living in san francisco (usa),is well known for his releases on simple muzik, deep night essentials, ll records, tresor records, reconstructed records and on funque droppings (bloch s own label). his edits of two tracks of plastikman s >closer< album and sean deason s >the shit< brought him a great reputation as remixer, too. his musical style ranges from berlin dub through classic detroit beats to english minimalism

sentidos opuedos as its names indicates go to explore the many fields of techno music. a1 >ama sonica< shoots to ears some groovy drums and a funky bass line, which take control of the soul while the hypnotic synthe-line gets in charge of the head. a2 >naked gravity< challenges to blow you mind into heaven. argenis points out his origin, delivering a song with a fat bassline and some typical south american rhythms that could easily bring you naked on a dance floor. b1 >yerbabuena< explores a more rhythmic section. this evolving tune starts from a simple bass shot to more complex patterns that deliver fury in crowded clubs as easily as to say >yerbabuuuuuuena< b2 >eimuu< is the psychedelic child of this ep. its groovy bass pushes you far somewhere in the deepness and the chords do the rest. dance, dance baby, its a sunny day! this 12inch is mixed by jay haze !!

superb swayzak remix 12inch collection with tracks from m_nus (a1), klang elektronik(a2, bergheim 34), simple records (b side, will saul)

freedom sounds are back with colonel red on vocal! a dope jazzy bouncy broken tune for the co-op massive and for the party people. already a classic in the box of ig culture, orin and all the hot djs, this tune is simple but effective. alex attias production is tight and the man is back with some freedom soundz flavour , low sub bass and simple key hook .for your dancing pleasure of course

the man who along with long-time partner alan braxe has risen through the ranks to become one of the pivotal masterminds in the gallic house movement steps out alone for his debut release (albeit aptly assisted by fellow defender partner savage on the double-a side cut). the midtempo >omega man< opens proceedings and is clearly cut from the same cloth that linus loves used to fashion >the terrace< - a stevie nicks parody that will similarly be used as a musical bed for tv shows all year long. >wait for love< meanwhile is rich in parisian charm - filters set to maximum and compression on extra high - warm, melodic, simple and yet highly complex and distinctly french-sounding making this another bass throbbing must-have purchase

big city music has this very special hip-shaking beat construct. the track just starts with one hihat, one short shaker, dry claps paired with two simple lead sounds. one of them repeating itself until the end and one to be morphed up and down, increasing and decreasing all the time. an exciting journey through changing tone lengths and different faces of at least one melody. on the flip side you find >asanebo<, another unique smasher. again this funky groove, but the sound surrounding comes a bit more spheric and mystic. an excellent track to loose yourself on the floor

>effective< on the a-side is one of those tracks with a very special groove. simple, but strongly effective. dry twittering sounds on top, keep with the clicks and all is well. the b-side >been in glue<, is another 100% sureshot. you can hear the classic traffic signs sounds from the release. it is this very unique formula, the mixture of jackin beats, dry bass and short melodies what makes you groove on and on and on and on…

the fourth single release of the three young berlin sound- developer surprise us once again with an unique electronic club style. kickin grooves and awesome beats combine to inimitable club music: full of relish, peppy and powerfull. so if this record spinning around on the turntable fasten your seat belts or dance unquestioning - its simple hot stuff

'voyager' perfectly takes you through different phases of tension and release starting with a irresistible build-up where just the distortion of a simple chord raises the electricity topped for even more intensity by frantic hi-hat action in jazz-drumming style. for 'sucre' he teams up once again with qzen who already refined 'sweat' on pokerflat and 'paranoia' (palette034) and gives another alluring performance with understated, teasing spoken words over this gliding, liquid cut. whos the sugar daddy now?

the consumer seems to bring up some 'advisory' with a wide range of styles going from the simple and raw oldschool side of electro to the more fine and digital sound combined with a lot of mad and dark lyrics that brings each track a little higher. 6 very different tracks with a lot of surrealism and 3rd dimension and still you find some tracks with a simple structure - keeping it all down to earth. the consumer-sound can be described as a unique atmospheric, but yet very dry and sharp sound that includes alot of small crazy elements

what girls like is elegantly simple, cleanly written dance music. its a mixture of retro chicago, detroit and the en vogue european sound of today. its already appealed to a cross section of taste dealers like dj heather, nic fanciulli, david duriez and felix da housecat. mazi (audio soul project) loved the track enough to resurrect the audio soul pseudonym to remix it.

dirk dreyer aka one louder with his debut single.. sparkling sound and shreds of melody are wound around a metronomic click bass! simple and effective electro techhouse with some nice female vocals..

finally back in : 'made 2 play' jesse rose's own label and made just for the dance floor. it's not about gaining hype in the press. made to play was conceived as an outlet for quality dancefloor tracks, that you chuck in your bag and play. pure and simple. so this is what you get minimal and chunky, super bottom heavy steady glitchy house tracks dubsided/freerange/frontroom style. #6 in groove top 50 sept / oct 2005

written and produced by lindstrom !! 'entle as a giant' comes with dry clavinet, heavy percussion, a monoton almost techo-ish synthbass and epic french horn. a2-track 'temperert' features acid synthbass and a very simple moog&flute melody. flip for the title-track 'arp she said', a balearic disco-groover. the ep ends with 'kontroll', slow-moving arpeggios and nasty hammond-feedbacksà enjoy yet another quality feedelity-release

mille & hirsch took a two week trip to bucharest to produce a crossover between the memory of the best garagehouse music and visionary post-rave sketches: simple, reduced to the max bodyrocking beats, bouncy organ chords, memorable piano melodies not far away from being cheesy and cheeky vocal cut-ups taking you back to the best days of our youth

electrohouse incl. simple minds sample!!

rich says of the licktown ep that 'its a more soulful organic sound for me. i've been a fan of simple for a while and it's inspiring that will saul is interested in a more experimental breakbeat sound.' dj support meat katie, evil nine (marine parade), lee coombs, soul of man, swayzak, danny howells, rob mello (classic)

18.04.2005. back in !! three tracker of italo disco classics - all the tracks on this e.p. are back on track for the simple reason than they are all guaranteed floorfillers. tracklisting: a1. franz & shape 'countach' b1. ajello 'harlem usa'b2. nemesi 'cosmica'

eric prydz teams up with steve angello for another slice of pop-dance. woz not woztakes a simple 4/4 house formula, and while not being as instantly recognisable or as big-room sounding as call on me, its stretched out disco chords and guitar bass line to give it a summer anthem vibe

this four-tracker sounds fresh today, from the funky bass-heavy stomp of jt’s 'leave your world' and his disco-filter 'simple pleasure' to the early brett johnson remix on h&g’s 'find your love' and tim shumaker’s own farina-favorite remix.

a stripped-down cut with some nice drums and a simple horn loop. must be heard on a monster system. 'all is possible' is an old school deep house romp with a cool uplifting vibe. on the flip the young governors (tony hewitt and joey youngman) keep their hot streak alive with a sizzling cut-up, dub-heavy mix of 'montevideo.' another essential ep from the tango camp!

mitja prinz stretches the definition of modern tech house with his third and yet strongest release on blaou. the recipe is simple: you mix two handfuls of percussion and a lot of pounding bass in a bowl. add a juicy songline seasoned with a couple of fresh breaks

klasse nu break lp !!

all tracks are laid out in a rather simple way, reach their main theme quickly and suit extremely well for the dance floor !!!!

decks tipp

tom mudd follows up brass cultures with another collection of genre pushing electronic music. sitting between the hermetic focus of bill orcutts solo guitar recordings and autechre at their most abstract.

3xcd disco compilation

aparde is back on ki records with his third longplayer.

lovingly restored and remastered reissue of the 1970 and 1973 albums from the young ones of guyana.

dear human survivors,Ê while the story of grounded in humanity is coming closer to its glorious end - there will be 3 more releases before the final showdown of humanity vs. human clones - the birth of our spin-off label human insurgents is taking shape. the first chapter, a 11-track album, is written and told by phat lord - who is also known as leader of the human resistance, trying to put an end to the brutal regency of the clones. phat lord is a true legend of the underground and his origin and location are totally unknown, even for the largest part of the resistance. some say he may even be a clone himselfÉ. the album is a sonic trip through various mental states and dystopic landscapes. it is a result of 8 years moving below the surface and often in the dark, to avoid discovery. he worked with simple, analog methods, focusing on the true essence of sound. we recommend a setting that allows for deep listening and proper bass support.Ê

arguably one of the most acclaimed and loved bands of the past 20 years, by both fans and their musical peers alike, the beta band formed in st. andrews, scotland, in 1996. innovative and singular, their unique musical and aesthetic approach to everything they did set them far apart from their musical contemporaries. together for a relatively short period of time, the three albums and three eps they released between 1996 and 2004 would nonetheless help define them as one of the most exciting and cherished bands of their generation. after acquiring the beta bands catalogue last year, because music will reissue their releases, starting on september 14th with a double cd best-of compiling all their best hits and a live show recorded at the shepherds bush empire (london) in 2004. because music will also celebrate at the same time the 20th anniversary of their 1998 compilation the three eps by releasing a deluxe vinyl edition gathering in a slipcase the eps champion versions, the patty patty sound and los amigos del beta bandidos with remastered tracks and coloured vinyls.

after establishing himself with rough but emotive house as rimbaudian and jungle as birds of sweden, he unveiled his dj seinfeld alias to the world, first with underground hit single u, then with his time spent away from u album on lobster fury in november 2017. it was a post break-up love letter to the dance floor with heart-on-sleeve emotions colouring the dusty and analogue house grooves. acclaim came in from far and wide, with everyone from rolling stone to pitchfork fawning over its heart swelling nostalgia and melancholic immediacy. jakobsson approached his dj-kicks with the intention of representing all the things that made him fall in love with dance music more than a decade ago, as well as showing some of the progression that has occurred in that time and reflecting the simultaneous fear of leaving something safe behind as well as the excitement of venturing into unknown territories, musically and emotionally.

house music broke through in 1987, at the same time when aids arrived in france with the first contamination peak in gay and drug addict circles. in 1989, the founders of act-up paris knew that both the fight against aids and triumphant house music should be joined together. from 1992 to 1995, the period covered by Ò120 bpm-, house reached its most beautiful plateau even though techno was becoming dominant. Ò120 bpmÓ is a get-together moment through clubbing, this moment where fears are forgotten by dancing with oneÕs friends, what we called Òthe chosen familyÓ at act-up. boys and girls dancing in a club where the walls cannot be seen, flooded with simple light. this is their activist recess. arnaud rebotini, composing the soundtrack of robin campilloÕs previous film, Òeastern boys-, is a recognized dj, a composer and a kind man, which is for me the most important quality. here, his work is marked by restraint of his love for house and after techno. i believe he deliberately withdrew himself in relation to the filmÕs power and the aids theme.

children are laughing and playing in the back, a baby screams happily: handsome field recordings welcome the listener to the final chapter of fred pÕs fp-oner trilogy for mule musiq. the opening tune is called smiles, so children s laughter fit the mode. the idea is that smiles and cries are natural for children and as they grow to adulthood the reality becomes more, therefore the duality of life itself is obvious in the mood of the song. the new york city native that is working on his very own music for almost 20 years explains about the beginning of his new album that features eleven tunes for deep meditative club use and beyond. it brings the listener house music full of cosmic realities, odd jazzing moments, japanese spoken word pop, synth spheres for ambient use and an overall outer-national atmosphere, that handsomely dances between roughness and subtle tuned in deepness.

love and money front man james grant has collaborated with producer gordy goudie to form the korvids, releasing a dance album. for the older generation who might want to bust a move once more in honour of their younger selves. james says, i wanted to be someone else for a while. sound different. write different. it can be dreary being me all the time..i sing most of my vocals on the record in falsetto, which, as we know, is the international language of disco. the korvids marry their love of disco and 70 s funk with influences such as deodato, massive attack, miles and anything else that takes their fancy. after the success of their debut release beach coma, which was picked up by sirius us radio and remixed by balaeric legend jose padilla, the duo released bad faith, a beauteous cut of late 70 s disco remixed by love & money and steely dan s producer gary katz. james was the front man for love and money, everyone s favourite band from the 1980 s who should have been massive but somehow werent. the other half of the korvids, gordy goudie, is also no stranger to the business having produced simple minds and playing bass and guitar for the primevals and echo and the bunnymen.
