onur Özer was rated one of groove magazine s up and comers for 2005, now he returns with another stellar ep for vakant. at only 25 years old the minimal assailant is back to claim another dance floor victim. already broken in on the dance floors of his residency at indigo music hall in istanbul the twilight ep is sure to put you in your place. so sit down and pay attention! with the twilight ep, onur once again demonstrates why he is the master of the new funk. every corner opens up into a new space, with efx washes covering you like a blanket made of sharp glass. forget 3d, we are into the age of 4th dimensional minimal, the past and the future seen perfectly at the same time

aka troy pierce (minus), enemy love ( cover y our face ) is a collection of dark eerie and sometimes twisted minimal techno tracks. all the tracks sit together in a similar v ein, but all shine indiv idually and the album walks the ambigious line between dancef loor hits and af ter hours jams. tunes like the anthemic grace (anxiety ) with its almost post-punk v ocal and hy pnotic, twangy melody is sure to send dancef loors ov er the edge. ref lected and leav ing take y ou down a darker path of introspection with the help of gibby millers dark, brooding v ocals. this album will push and pull y ou through a tripped-out laby rinth of sounds, sad and heavy-hearted at times powerful and full of grace others

with this mad new 4 tracker by sound searcher james gibson aka (a)pendics shuffle (orac) mo’s ferry carry their highly individual artistic formula of putting a maximum of eccentric abstraction into a cut while keeping the floor pressure to the most extreme level. ruff cut-up 4/4 funk with brimming with uncounted itsy-bitsy sound particels, spooky mutilated voice cut-ups, butchered basslines sand blasted with gnarly bleeps and blops and a pinch of dark humor. unbending, unassimilated, uncorruptible and proud of it: mo s ferry are insistently carving their own niche in electronic music

heinrich mueller remixed two tracks of the forthcoming duplex album (late night driving) in his very special way and is (as usual) a few steps ahead of the pack and (as always) tries to push the bounderies of dance music!. on this release he delivers two deep advanced electro remixes of play our music. to make the circle round duplex remixes one of the two p.o.m. remixes into a classic direct beat influenced electro track. a steady piece of music which shakes like crazy! sit tight for the next remix ep!

flash atkins aka ben davis. he lends a techy big room flavour to 3am's house label in 'photoshoot'. pitched down vocals hover over a bright acid line and bursting bass line. 'wishpole' more ligher sound, where jazz licks and double bass stabs sit amongst a laid back, shuffling drum pattern and light vocals give a summery fee

number ten in the sub-wave series is a minimal/ acid bomb with a deep and brainfrying basshook and swirling psychosounds with a little more herbs from 303. on the bside youll find a deep acid-monster that will make the ladies want to sit on the speakers

harold returns to the sensei fold, with two tech house killers deep bass, fx in all the right places sit well over tight drum programming and some vocal snippets to boot support from all the usual sensei suspects

3 tracks of bumped- out funk for mighty atom. no fussin does exactly what the title suggests. straight-up no frills house. scat vocals, bleeps and acid squirts sit atop chunky drums and jacking bass. picking up plays from laurent garnier and colin dale

a collection of rare boogie and disco, compiled by woody bianchi.

the trickfinger project was recorded 10 years ago with no intention of being released at the time, made purely for discovery and learning experience. -in my opinion, making music with no intention of releasing it is the best thing a musician can do for his own development in this day and age. the trickfinger lp was made in that mindset, and it was the beginning of a new musical life for me. when i hear it, it sounds like i am opening up doorways to new worlds, and i never have had that feeling listening to music i made for the purpose of releasing it and selling it.- all the music was recorded live onto a cd burner, through a cheap mixer. john would sit on a chair, in his living room, surrounded by five to 15 machines, and just keep programming and jamming until the track was ready to be recorded. there were no overdubs Ð recorded all live

60 tracks inklusive sam smith, bruno mars, birdy, years & years, james blake, mark ronson, sigala, blonde u.v.a. sit back, relax and be perfectly chilled!

after retiring from the jamaican police force arthur duke reid established his treasure isle liquor store and sound system in pink lane kingston and was crowned the undisputed king of sound and blues in 1956, 57 and in 58. the duke then moved into record production and after relocating the store to 33 bond street, he then built a recording studio on top of his new premises in 1966. according to the musicians and singers the wooden construction of the treasure isle recording studio gave the music a distinctive warmth and richness and with resident engineer byron baron/smithy smith at the controls, the sound of a bond street recording was immediately recognisable.
but the studio one sound is different to the treasure isle sound! the people have to know. - bunny striker lee
a glittering selection of strikers treasure isle recordings are featured on this compilation. so please sit back and enjoy the set!

>this mix was the perfect chance to sit down with pinch & bring together a sonic which we both feel we have been working towards for a while, albeit from very different angles. in my opinion the dance music climate in the uk is enjoying a healthy & extremely interesting transitional period one which i would draw parallels to the 93/94 proto era when people were literally making up the rules as they went along. this mix is a ode to that time & our attempt at throwing some ideas out there, with the hope of sparking some imaginations & pushing things further forward< - mumdance

rhadoo with a deadly mix!

>a good friend of ours said after hearing an advance copy of this record that adult. used to sit on the sidelines and critique the idiosyncrasies of culture, but now we are on the inside, sending our message out.< so says adam lee miller of the way things fall, adult.s fifth album and a record that genuinely deserves the oft abused music industry epithet longawaited. miller pauses before adding wryly, >we agree.<

if you find yourself taking for granted all the natural beauty that surrounds you, caught up in trivial occurrences that interfere with your daily happiness, letting social constructs shape your mood, then please do buy this cd, sit down, focus on what is right there in your hands, turn to your loved one, breathe deeply, enjoy the light in the room, savor your food perhaps, and simply appreciate all that is happening in this particular moment levitate in awe as you enter the land of light, a new work by jonny nash and kyle martin

deluxe edition - includes previously unreleased tracks...

you can forgive a band who set out to create something even just a little bit different and get it horrendously wrong, but its tough to have sympathy for a band who shy away from the challenge altogether. such was the case with autokratz on their first album, animal, which, apart from a passable opening track, consisted of a series of bland electronic pastiches Ð dance music that conversely made the listener want to sit and wait it out. that didnt stop the hype building around the duo, though, thanks in no small part to the fact that the album was released through in-vogue french label kitsunŽ music. the confusing positivity surrounding the lp suggesting, perhaps, that style overcomes substance once a record company has received the hipster seal of approval.this time around, however, kitsune has stepped aside, with autokratz releasing the follow-up on their own label, bad life. but has the sense of responsibility that surely comes with this step made them re-evaluate their direction? has it inspired them to inject a much-needed shot of creativity into their work? not a hope. if anything, autokratz descend even further into mediocrity on self help for beginners. once again, their best tunes are loaded towards the front of the album, starting with the lead single, -opposite of love. its far from outstanding, helped in no small part by the terribly contrived lyrics, but does possess a catchy synth melody Ð enough to earn it a place on club playlists, at least. its a similar story with -becoming the wraith, which has peter hook on hand to deliver an overtly new order-esque bassline. beyond that, however, the quality dips dramatically. tracks like -the seventh seal and -r.i.s.e. are typical of the selection on offer, underwhelmingly vapid, derivative tunes which show up a disappointing, but not totally unexpected, scarcity of guile on the part of their creators.where autokratz do excel is as producers Ð a quality evident not only in their own work, but also in their remixes for other artists. unfortunately, this only serves to exacerbate their deficiencies on the other side of the control room desk. ultimately it may mean that, having failed to address the shortcomings of their debut, autokratz will be fated to be filed under -also rans in the annals of music history. thats assuming, of course, that someone out there will actually remember them at all.

leicht und luftig, filmisch und doch intim kommt das vierte arctic monkeys-album >suck it and see< daher. aufgenommen hat es die band in den sound city studios in los angeles mit ihrem langjŠhrigen produzenten und mitstreiter james ford. das album verbreitet ein sommerliches pop-feeling und den typischen feelgood-sound kalifornischer wintersonne und vitamin d au§erhalb der saison, was daran liegen mag, dass der grš§te teil der stźcke im januar an der westkźste der usa aufgenommen wurde. passend zu seiner pop-ausrichtung ist >suck it and see< sorgfŠltiger arrangiert als sein vorgŠnger >humbug< und steckt voller songs, die die irrungen und wirrungen von sex und liebe mit elementarer bildersprache, scharfsinnigen texten und gro§artigen pop-kultur-metaphern ausloten. das album steckt voller bezźge zu Šlteren rock n roll-klassikern (you look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel), diversen softdrinks (dandelion & burdock, postmix-limonade) und freizeitbeschŠftigungen des 21. jahrhunderts (laserquest

>patio de juegos<, which translates as >playground<, is a wonderful multi-genre journey through the mind of an artist who is both on top of his game, and on the rise towards the stars. lashings of his ever-present south american heritage infuse with incredibly intricate and perfectly simple house structures that give the whole album its almost >child at play< ethos that is rarely found in electronic music. future club hits such as >wanna be<, with its nod to the historical upbeat lineage of house music, and >all the girls<, with its chugging rhythm, trickling piano loops and erotic vocals sit effortlessly alongside more experimental and jazz inspired tracks such as the explorative >still here<. another fine example is >sun<, with its deep bass line punctuated with the sun-soaked synths and summer high-hats that export listeners away to a warm utopia. guti produces a number of tracks with high profile artists from both within and outside the dj fraternity - a sign of his increasing popularity within electronica, and also his innate ability to collaborate with more mainstream artists.

sit back & relax as dj mfr takes you on another west coast excursion, containing music from some of the most respected west coast record labels and producers such as miguel migs, jask, jay j, vincent kwok and dj mfr himself just to name a few, all flawlessly blended together in dj mfr s smooth mixing style.

final song goes to the very heart of musics spiritual dimension by asking a number of musicians to select their ideal last song, either to serenade their final moments or to memorialize them after the fact. the participating artists deserve to be commended for their openness: theyre responding to one of the most personal questions one could ask. (several of those approached declined to take part- taboos are taboos, after all.)

with the influence of the experimental duo minit, jasmina maschina creates her own surprising and pucker sound. an absolutely new experience of simple slowly strummed affairs of guitar chimes, keyboard chords and folk elements.
