the irrepressible cobblestone jazz present the first single from their debut album >23 seconds<, forthcoming in september on wagon repair. cobblestone jazz produce their tracks live, with a strong emphasis on improvisation, and the trio of programmer tyger dhula, keyboardists danuel tate and mathew jonson, make full use of their formative jazz training to transform the musical outfit into a pragmatic and responsive unit, a living and breathing creation, free of formulaic sequence. >lime in da coco nut< is a potion brimming with transformation. cobblestone approach a simple key melody from every angle imaginable, with the harmonies, disharmonies, bubbling accents and rhythmic permutations exposing the otherworldly potential of the simplest of tunes. a sinister whispered vocal conducts affairs, seemingly flustered at its inability to contain the unruly elements in this wonderful experiment. on >saturday night< a deep synth line and ghostly vocoded moans progress through a jungle of percussion and falling echoed tones, steadily approaching a beat that enlivens like water on a desert journey, or rather, like vodka on a saturday night. the dizzy finale spins around your ears, a bit like the ceiling after a particularly heavy weekend adventure… be sure to be well rested before tackling this sensory safari

unique version of detroit minimal !! old sensibilities are used to guide basic progression along a path of tweaks and burps. ticks, clicks and melody are used to hold together the shifting center of a busy bop. soulfully simple synths combine with warm bass lines, and churn their way toward a shared end

back in 1993 munichs into somethin crew started a clubnight entitled maiden voyage. the idea behind it was simple while the successful weekly into somethin sessions set up by michael reinboth, florian keller and theo thoennessen in 1989 kept on providing a take on the current state of dancemusic from a jazz djs point of view the guys wanted to etablish another night dedicated strictly to the classics. jazz, soul, brasil, boogie and disco have been on the musical menu at maiden voyage ever since. michael reinboth and florian keller still love to play a set at maiden voyage every now and then but both guys left the ships bridge to concentrate on their variety of other projects in the late 90s. theo and rainer were joined by roland appel of fauna flash, trüby trio and voom:voom fame instead to form the infamous threepiece that kept on keeping on ever since

the cooperation between lindstrom and solale (aka isabel/christabelle) started in 2003 with the release of >music (in my mind)< as the second 12inch on feedelity. now finally they ve decided to do some more music together. this first single from the album that they re currently working on is a slow disco-number based on a 5 minute vocaljam (first-take is always best take…) together with a fat bass-arpeggio and some simple guitars/keys here and there. the lyrics doesnt necessarily pretend to be anything more than a >practise<, but is nevertheless quite good we think ! on the flip-side there s an amazing dub-workout that s given us from a friend that doesnt wanna reveal his identity

digitalism presents their zdarlight original reworks and the compelling erol alkan edit of jupiter room. the mash up is devastating, let there be terrorlight now !there are loads of rock bands making music for the dancefloor. digitalism make electronic music that everyone can rock to.digitalism initial release on kitsuné remains their best known: zdarlight. the heavy dance tune, with its acidic undercarriage, lilting guitar line and stratospheric climax, is distinctive enough.the parnoid asteroid mix presented here is the beauty behind the club beast, a full effect rework driving you through an emotional break while keeping your feet moving.then the basement trash tryout mix si explicitly underground for all you punks, digitalism recorded live with guitars !jupiter room edited by erol alkan : two breaks, a monster is born ! huge effect with a simple idea, thank you erol, for another compelling electronic record. there has not been an electronic act with the potential to cross over on such a scale since daft punk and the chemical brothers. it s been a long wait!their forthcoming new single pogo from their first album, entitled idealism, will be released on may 7th

the fourth release from tiefschwarzs souvenir imprint comes from tom mangan with >mysterious ex-teacher / texas<. as one half of cass and mangan, tom mangan has released on fine records, tsuba, saw, wall of sound, loaded, front room and playtime and has remixed the likes of the scissor sisters, infadels, royksopp, daisy daisy and tiefschwarz. >mysterious ex-teacher< is eight minutes of dreamy synths floating on heavy stabs of dubby-electronic bass and >texas< is a smooth ride that fuses a disconnected spacey top-end with a simple forward-pushing b-line

the music is playful, ambitious, simple, complex, fun and melancholic and not at least. it is extremely animalistic. they have an album >animals< ready to drop in 2007. elephant s parade was played completely live with drum machines, synths and analogue sequencers. the duo like to record this way (compared to stuck infront of the computer) as they get more free in creating a specific and spontaneous feeling. here one might imagine a big gang of crazy elephants getting lost on a psychedelic parade. in the middle of the track things are getting a bit weird, perhaps too much amarulla fruit, which gives the second part its childish and naïve playfulness. on the flipside bird song has a dirty, noisy, trippy vibe with a little touch of basic channel sound. shake a tail feather !! played by anja schneider, karotte, tobi neumann, troy pierce, woody

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

new schranz tracks by svetec, alex calver, dj lukas & o.b.i and mad man

looking back to a great year, we find david k from the freak n chic posse being one of the most successful newcomers in 2006. freak n chic stands for a kicking mix of techno and acid sounds, which are blended with some house. dj friendly, very danceable but still demanding, with elements of deep house and minimal house…whereas >tender and sugar< seems straighter, darker and more minimal, and the fat but simple beat is the driving element, >mayann< comes along with strong reerences to >Âme< and its synth sounds remind of >rej< or productions of >pasta boys< from italy

the master of simplicity is back on with his second release on karmarouge. the story behind the titel goes like this. saint patrick was a christian missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of ireland. he banished the snakes from ireland and some irish people say that human snakes replaced them. sian asks himself if we might need a new modern saint patrick? the a-side track >stegosaurus< is a creepy, slow builder and melodic track, somewhat like a placid dinosaur. >merman< on the b-side is a more melancholic, angelic theme with hidden melodic patterns and messages. born in dublin ireland, raised gypsy style in southern spain, sian, aka graham goodwin has worked in music since the age of 17. now 28, he has produced and released electronic music consistently and has worked with diverse artists during this period. his productions are arty, unique and childlike simple, he works with sounds as blocks of bright colour and makes music for both the club and mind simultaniously. sian believes that electronic music is more than just an interesting theory, it shapes lives and his dj sets are well known for sweat, eclecticism and positive energy

jake childs requires very little introduction to the more discerning house ear. with releases on leading labels including drop music, freerange and doubledown, not to mention his own uni.form imprints, he has taken the house world by storm over the past few years. here he serves up some retro chicago sounding yet stripped back jackers. seems really simple at first, a real trademark of jake s sound, but its bumpin bassline, bleeps and squelches grow around you becoming more intense with every listen. the flip delivers >good times< which incorporates his brand of choppy jackin beats, punchy snares, gritty synths and rolling bass that rips apart any dancefloor. the track flips mid-way and bubbles under as the bass lines compete for attention before recombining for another roof raising moment. the >beat machine< is an eerie voyage into the middle ground between house and pop. once again moody synths and a growling sub bass lead the way, with the haunting vocals of lil prince (who has previously featured on jake s icon and drop music eps) gliding over the mix! hot floor burning shit

2 dancefloortracks of hamburg based label fresh fish rec. on the a side hausmann c presents a >beaty world< . on the flip paulo olarte does his thing with >dulce mio< . beaty world tells the story of a fight. with no need for words, the protagonists realise their roles and invent a language of their own. moving like dancers they approach one another, each strike a thought. a bubble suspended in the air. triumph alone encounters its dark side, as with apparent lack of effort it strips itself of all blemish. with stoic calm and an alienated quotation >dolce, mio< sets out to find the inner muse. entering her space the available talents present themselves and put themselves to the test. nothing appears simple, they flow and envelope their own idea and try desperately to gain the ultimate tension, which then, in retrospect incredulous, strangely intoxicated, is received as though by a jubilant choru

remember the infamous scene from the movie deliverance? the one with the retarded kid and the grown man going all out in a play off, an acoustic guitar vs a banjo… anyway, lindstrom finally got around to play & record the banjo he bought in nyc last summer. it takes time to practise & learn to play the banjo. lindstrom needed a year to make the simple banjo-lick used on >the contemporary fix<, the 9th feedelity release. you might think the use of banjo, autoharp & clavinet together with acid squiggles on top of live disco-drums is a most unusual combination? well, here s the soundtrack to deliverance 2006

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

already played by richie hawtin, karotte, sven väth and magda! tattoorecs is label with a very simple concept. the tracks released dont have titles, they have tattoos. tattoos are the ultimate dedication of love. wether its a name, a symbol or a number tattoos are there because they are important to the owner. they dont have to be beautiful or elegant, and they dont have a meaning to anyone but the owner. some people seek acceptance and follow the mainstream with their body art. some people push the limit and reinvent what a tattoo can be some people stay true, and go old school with their tattoos thats why tattoos and music are so alike. these tracks are a part of us. we have created them with our hearts. .
