played by mathias kaden, someone else, tim green, franco cinelli, katzo and many more. minimood redefines minimal once again, this time bringing you yet another unbelievable talent from the bubbling underground tokyo scene: shu okuyama. the weiter ep demonstrates how they do geometry in a beautiful and fresh non euclidean fashion deep down in shibuya! note how the extravagant a1 punkt represents an irresistible example of the hypnotic hip twitching water crunk sound which is fast becoming one of minimoods trademarks. moreover, b1 strich is simply genius as shu completely axes conventionalism, swinging his sword with samurai abandon through jazzy keys, percussive hits, vocal snippets, analog blurps,..., and then re assembles them all to devastating contemporary effect! one ticket to tokyo, please!

quaaaaaaaaaaaack…!!! the second vinyl release for the young, nyc/-buenos aires-based label airdrop records, soulclaps >die ente<, comes after a coveted >the giraffe< by the very same artists. nowhere near shifting down a gear or two, the dynamic duo, consisting of the two team players elyte and cnyce, has us sweating and screaming animal names -- again!!! >die ente< simply wipes the floor, true airdrop styleeee. the original mix is already being rinsed out by the likes of italoboyz and getting the crowds whipped up in frenzy. the release also features a remix by tanner ross aka marcel wave aka voodeux coming straight out of hell. rumors have it that claude von stroke showed a lot of interest in it. officially, he says >i like it< and is playing it.

matt u?s >mute soul< features a fast moving conga sample mixing with analogue synth stabs and an extra deep sub bass line, all underpinned by a simply massive beat. the b side >parilla< by cardopusher, also features an interesting percussion arrangement, with a stepping beat and a some mid range lfo madness sitting on top of the sublime b-line

not another promo text!?!? we find that all of the music produced by harry axt speaks volumes, therefore we simply (and happily!) offer you these two new tracks. it s worth mentioning that this is the last ep from harry axt before his album release in october on rompecabeza music. the whole summer he will indulge in a production break, so that he may doze in the sun, test every type of beer possible, demolish enormous amounts of grilled meat and danish ice cream, and then completely concentrate this replenished creativity on his debut album. then, while the sun fades away for another season, he will let the sunshine back into our ears…

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

melbournes finest mashes up the doors classic simply massive!!

straight from the pink slow studio, david garcet strikes us with 4 new cuts. the a1 is simply said a good floorfiller. expect some straight forward beats and percussion work with that characteristic bleepy synth line being used to full effect. the >monday mix< is yet pretty mellow. the synths have come down a bit and the arpeggios are more upfront for that melancholic vibe.

the sword is a colossal, high energy powerhouse. utilizing a potent combination of intense songwriting chemistry, eye opening creativity and talent and a distinctly unique vision, the sword is, without question, one of heavy musics most electrifying new bands. more ambitious, more accomplished and simply bigger, gods of the earths huge, mountaintop friendly hooks, thunderous drumming and oceanic bass lines cut through the air like a scythe, while the ominous vocals of frontman j.d. cronise weave fantastical tales rife with myth and mythology. waves of powerful riffs and low end thunder dominate songs. this is a must for fans of all things heavy!

excellent re-release of this monster elektro tune (formerly out on wmf rec berlin), freshly 2006 remastered !! simply a must have item

krischmann & klingenberg have already become remarkable in several times. in cause of their individual sound. with releases on skull tunes, compressed or on frank kvittas label unknown power, they have pointed what they are able to do. whether on the home dance floors or in the century circus. the boys have simply found the right mixture of straight- and a little funky inclined techno. flotek & mario kinle come directly from vienna to your home. their tracks circulate in many different forums and bump almost only into positive resonance. it is the time to get both on vinyl. sound, uncompromisingly up to the last blow.

as usual mr beyer delivers the goods for his spectacular drumcode imprint this time by way of a new release from belgian producer - ortin cam. following his amazing twisted outing on drumcode last year he has put a heavyweight follow up 2 tracker on the table that is simply mindblowing. another killer to add to the drumcode catalogue!

well known dnb artist with finest minimal trax!! but than there is always room for input from a different angle! the label is simply pushing quality music, wherever its coming from. therefore luxaflex presents a known dnb player who goes by the name of sunchase, but who turns out to be an extremely talented minimal/techno producer with a very pleasant and distinct sound!

second release of marcello giordani on mule musiq. >respect yourself< is a classical feeling italo disco track, dramatic melody & typical italo disco synths. the reat >naughty< (moodmusic) remix is simply wonderful and more clubby than original. support comes from dave mothersole, sasse, prins thomas. philip sherburne, the mole and tom taylor

after the huge success of wahnsin, here is the next dancefloor burner from marco bailey and his long time friend and production partner tom hades. blast has a simply devastating effect on the floor with its dubfire inspired peaktime sounds. saint paul is more melodic and gets a remix treatment by one of the hottest men of the moment, gregor tresher. this one is not to miss under any circumstances!!!

bitches brew are back with their next wild installment - purple somersault. if the previous release was filed under country dub tronica, this release is psychedelic surf cosmic disco. kind of like link wray wipes out with giorgio moroder. an interesting and rather beautiful concept, in fact the whole wild rumpus story is rather interesting and beautiful. two pioneers of forward thinking music, but from very different backgrounds combine to make the kind of music you simply cant ignore but at the same time cant quite put your finger on.

the third shot in the young life of the bucketround label is a perfect strike oriented to different types of dancefloor. above smoke (deep explorer music) brings a creative and chameleonic tune which mixes different elements with dare. it begins broken, continues deep and ends in a complete funky orgy with a quirky 80s taste. the collection of remixes is simply brilliant. oval future face (bucketround recs) takes the elements of the original to offer the deeper remix of the ep. nacho marco (loudeast records, odori...) however transforms the keys of the compose in a 4x4 acid bomb! finally to close we got the funk part of the ep with barna sound machine. he breaks the breaks and hot the floor with his sexy rhythm...

supported by audio werner, dub kult, mark henning, mathias kaden, someone else. so inagawa returns to multi vitamins, this time to do a solo ep. this record is good for shaking that ass, bopping that head or simply listening to at home.

excellent trippin techno track !! after mihalis presented himself as the next big thing he now brings his friends in the spotlights also. and not without a reason! these guys created a killer of a trackespecially for syndikaat. perfectly balanced beats with loads of sublayers and nice synths. mihalis himself liked the track so much that he decided to not only remix this once, but to remix this twice!! the result is amazing, simply 3 huge tracks on 1 12inch.

this is a very cool meeting of minds here on this cool 12inch from adam beyers truesoul label. after nihads last release on tresoul he has receieved hi acclaim and this superb funky building club track simply rocks from start to finsh. joel has been on a superb steady rise over the last few months with releases on giant labels such as harthouse and cocoon. his track as always has an amazing twisted deep intensity.

berghain sure shot! the dynamic techno duo nagano kitchen has unleashed this deep ultra efficient track which simply showcases their commitment to consistency and versatility. >omie< is a beautiful minimal techno track that fills a gap in this recently overlooked musical genre. this debut production from dj gabriel chong will lay the foundation for this bourgeoning talents career who for years has been the premier techno dj in kuala lumpur, malaysia. the track is a fine example of apotek records commitment to a universal approach in search of the perfect beat!

pay attention! you simply cant miss out on this tune! vicky fees strong vocals are making this release a very special one. great remix package with huge mixes by mischa daniels, wendel kos & heikki l!!

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!!

with blind way, franck roger is going back to the early years of house. in fact he shows a lot of himself, musically and vocally, taking us onto a fascinating night-tracky journey. some may call it old school, franck simply calls it 100% pure house music. i dream of u is a little shout out to the wonderful & inspirational detroit scene. the hypnotic chimes loop, turnin around a looped bass, whilst stabs drive this riveting track along its way. only for real house lovers! call it detroit house but why not also call it paris house music!?
