a new name appears in the hispanic techno scene: architectural, label and author, all in one. but who is the mind that draws the plans with this new pseudonym. we still ignore it, but this one, who has wanted to give free rein to the creativity that beat under his skin, has sculpted the first tracks that you will be able to listen, from a solid matter base composed by pure sonic techno with minimalist touches from chicago, with detroit streaks and forged alloy derived from the most genuine soul. this powerful building begins to rise, makes its foundations and basic structure in these architectural series, that present us the impacts, snaps and warping that a real construction team realise with their hard work, exploiting a dark desolate waste ground, following the architects indications, who generate, in his mind, the entire project that will rise in our ears.this interesting project will be launched in classic vinyl, as well as in digital format. do not lose the opportunity to give yourself the first creation, of the new referent of mental techno of spain, it is going to set a lot to talk about..and to think

fragen documents the extraordinary shedding of skin of one of the most important german electronic groups. hans-joachim roedelius was there from the beginning, first as a trio with conrad schnitzler and dieter moebius (kluster), from 1971 on as a duo with dieter moebius (cluster), and since 2010 as a duo with with onnen bock (qluster). bock (born 1973) and roedelius have been meeting up to explore new musical directions together since 2007. fragen is the first part of an exceptional trilogy, a grandiose new beginning, backed up by forty years of tradition.

after a successful first year for berlins soulfooled label starts 2011 by presenting the most successful tracks of 2010 remixed on sfld004. we are proud to share remix works from roberto rodriguez, salvatore freda and fritz zander with you. on the a-side salvatore freda delivers an heavy - oldskooled based - peaktime stomper remixed from david durangos >walk in your skin<, while roberto rodriguez creates a musical masterpiece using terje bakkes groove of >tango orange< and composing a musical 303 journey at its best. last but not least fritz zander shows that alex niggemanns tribal original (jewels) can be remixed in a total moody way and presents a perfect opener for sunny open-airs.

berliner martin dawson and polish duo catz n dogz join forces to bring us this fierce three track ep entitled no nights. the first track on this release is no nights. brimming with warm pads and an accusing, dark lo-fi synth line this version has a deep vibe to it and the ability to really get under ones skin. following this the berlin-polish team hit us with no nights (beatz mix) a catchy tech-house number with a lo-fi synth line sporadically accompanied by a melodically decending dubby synth. combined with the crisp vocal line this makes for a very promising track. no days, the last track on this release gets straight to business with distorted vocals and a menacing bassline that intertwine throughout the track. varying rhythmical flourishes keep it interesting, while tripped out synthesized sounds guarantee to get any dancefloor grooving. we couldnt be more pleased with the results of this tenacious trio and we look to the future in hope that they are already planning further collaborations.

james whats debut release for crosstown rebels is a two track single of sheer class! a hypnotic, hooky emotive pair of dancefloor weapons that will not fail to get under your skin. his deft production skills are championed here in this irresistible new single, truly sublime!

to kick-start the fina campaign we literally hunted high and low to find an artist and sound that we felt would represent us and give a statement of intent. what we didnt expect was for this search to take us south of the equator and into to the deep southern hemisphere. this is not the first place that you would expect to hear warm, deep underground house but this is exactly what you get with the melbourne based mic newman. and thinking about it, it doesnt get warmer or deeper than melbourne does it? mic is a young producer who we believe is destined for greatness. at the age of 29, hes already had a string of underground smashes on labels such as murmur, tsuba, dirt crew, freerange, and now for fina records. the intriguingly named live east, die young ep (mic riffing on his time spent living in london) sees what mic doing what he does best and demonstrates why his future is so bright. on die young, the tougher a-side, mic keeps the beats solid, and the groove tight and hypnotic, while the smooth chord stabs get right under your skin. prolonged foot tapping ensues. on the flip side, live east, mic takes it a little deeper with ever so subtle disco touches. the vocal sample asks what your name is and to take off your jacket as if to welcome you to a very messy after hours on this mcde-esque low-slung house groove. on remix duty, the on-form jacques renault and marcos cabral aka runaway, lift the track out of the south hemisphere and take it in a north easterly direction all the way to the caribbean – adding plenty of steel drums and pads on their interpretation of live east

need to warm up? want to dance and you love house music? then your gonna to love this track. david guettas ability to supply a proper dance-pop stonker again evident with whos that chick. feel the adrenaline / moving under my skin / its an addiction, the barbadian songbird rihanna hollers over bolshy beats and swaggering synths, the studio trickery on her nonchalant vocals feeling colder than an ice pop on a snowy day. its a good job, then, that bopping along to this - and warming yourself up in the process - is pretty much impossible to resist.

after >make tomorrow< (sect05) by grovskopa its now time for some heavyweight remix-action, delivered by saga, jr seaton, delta funktionen and skallander.

big with luciano ,dj sneak , aaron carl , luciano, dubfire, chris carrier , dj wild , laurent garnier , chus , ashley beedle , danny tenaglia ...

a1. >everybody techno< - this is typical of gideons dance floor techno style, thick beats with a marching bass-line. from the first beat we are guided through a tough no-holds-barred trip into an unforgiving world of the darker sides of techno music. a retrospective vocal with a sinister laugh completes this evil peak-time track.
a2. >flight to right now< - this minimal track snaps along with a very basic beat and synth combo. the synth rises as the track progresses to keep dance floors moving. there is a wonderfully simple aspect to this track that gets under the skin and allows people to really connect with it.
b1. >recession tool< (vocal mix) - recession tool is a chunky tech house track with a wonderfully chewed up vocal and ever-present reverse snares. the track pumps forward until a nice rising breakdown lifts to complete with more vocals and intricate drum loops.
b2. >rico< - rico is a long progressive track with a slow builds and a warped lead line. the least aggressive track on the ep and possibly the least expressive. that said, it still ticks along seamlessly with a perfectly crafted warble and smart drums.

toris moon picks up a rhythm feel the new school of minimal techno has developed over the years and fuses it with michaels interpretation of techno. &#8232,,pascal feos has remixed >toris moon< and has incorporated a stronger house feel he has also highlighted in his recent released album.&#8232,,&#8232,, the b-side sees the release of an peak time hymn, bold beats, restrained chords that keep making their way to the surface step by step putting a chill on ones skin.

fine irish punk drinking music by mr. irish bastard. slainte!

yore returns with the 3rd release on the yore limited series. 300 limited copies in green transparent vinyl. a beauty musically and for the eye. orlando b. favours the kind of funky and raw-sounding techno that flourished during the late-’90s and early-’00s and so naturally invests his maiden voyage on the yore imprint with the same kind of classic soul that renders that earlier era’s sound so appealing. ” beneath the surface ep ” largely focuses on warm house grooves. “a feeling” dishes out eight minutes of classic deep house that’s also as funky as hell. a subtle latin percussion vibe sneaks in at the beginning but quickly enough the tune rolls out a warm house strut that dominates thereafter, piano sprinkles, lush strings, and a crisp, hi-hat-spun groove give the tune added style and flair, as does the insistence of the titular vocal sample. “esoteric” digs into a steamy, bass-driven house beat that’s both raw and funky, then slathers it with a synth solo that squeals with delight, while “new york tale” smoothens its techno core with warm chords and delicious house swing. “mj12&#8243,,,, is the coolest and most techy cut on this diverse four cut ep. orlando b. sprinkling billowing dub chords and a spoken voice sample over a rock-solid tech-house base that will go straight under your skin, when it hits you on the dancefloor. 300 copies left still. go grab yours before it’s too late

a made up sound bringing house for the emotionally unstable on 003. drunkenly swaggering along, the punchy discofied-bass-clap-whatever ‘alarm’ is owned by a pair of synth stabs that got out of bed with the wrong foot first. after an almost clowny breakdown, moody pads soon make clear this track ain’t funny at all... ‘crisis’ on the b-side is all about restraint. thick house-not-house beats and a thumping acid bassline move on and on while a vacuum cleaner blues and hazy will-o-the-wisp-like strings slowly creep under the skin. those who like it nice and shiny better think twice... killer twelve!

>ave leo< is an homage to life. the three guys from pompelmoessap lay it on thick and dally over a tenderly melting melody, skillfully play with shakers, drum cuts and low deep down effects. evoking a conjuring atmosphere that gets under your skin. the groove is right. the sun rises, early in the morning at the club.
on the b-side you will find a collectible, an everlasting trip of melancholic club couch music with bob dylans cultural message from the 70ies. ion ludwig looks at >spiritual devil< as a kind of protest against all those 2d digitally recycled techhouse sounds, which are released every day en masse. here plays timeless music for connoisseurs who want to feel and think while listening. smoke some weed before listening. peace.

the every day fight deep in the inner side of danjel esperanza is such a big antagonism. but its not only in himself, its his life, destiny and his music which he really lives out on his musically diary. and now with his first album ever!
no better place can it be than his label backdoor beauty to describe all the opposed feelings. the album contains nine very deep and soulful songs. deep bubbling pumpin basslines combined with spiritual singing vocals, instruments like violins, flutes, guitars and many more! all recorded together with sounds from outside which gives the unique athmospheric dubby touch and far horizons and it feels at the end like a very hypnotic trip.
inspired and influenced from so many music styles he found his own way in electronical acoustic sounding music to describe the antagonism in danjel esperanzas life and the world...which is like one happy eye and one sad eye....

after a brief hiatus, we return with a delicate slice of wax that epitomises what ldr stands for ? new, original music from hardworking, young artists. after the success of datas >blowpipe< on ld5 and a string of genre-busting releases on labels like metalheadz, critical, revolution and tempa, data brings us a grimy gem in the form of >liberty city blues<. incident from hungary and paul sg from austria blew us away with this track which featured on our recent knowledge magazine cover cd mix.
>liberty city blues< is a minimalistic piece of jungle music reminiscent of early photek or source direct. from the outset the tune just bubbles with menace and keeps on building and evolving throughout. a pure bass-heavy slice of proper jungle.
>autumn drops< is a soulful roller that shows that this crew are ones to watch in 2010. full of melancholy, icy vibes and a subtle basslinethat gets right under your skin, this track is a firm favourite for this year.

spirit catcher is becoming more and more a permanent member of the systematic family. after their debut e.p. last year and their contribution to the >5ysyst< project last summer, these three tracks are their latest productions on my systematic imprint. something which always impresses me a lot is how jean and tom continue todevelop their distinctive spirit catcher sound, no matter if they release on 20:20 vision, nrk, moodmusic or elsewhere. its always an awesome mixture of fluffy driving house beats, a portion of deepest darkness and freshhypnotic sounds figures! i love the way how they do install the dark organ melody at >sedona<. the organ soundspretty outta space and lets me float away once i have closed my eyes. also, the mystic mood at >future fools<generates me a goose skin, every time i hear it.

stuttgart geh¥rt zwar nicht unbedingt zu den gr¥?ten st?dten in deutschland, aber mit sicherheit zu den sch¥nsten. au?erdem ist stuttgart das pflaster der vielleicht besten punk-, skin- und hardcoreszene in deutschland, bezogen auf den zusammenhalt und den antifaschistischen background. dar?ber hinaus ist stuttgart die heimat der freiboiter.
die band existiert bereits seit 1997. in der aktuellen besetzung seit 2001. der sound spiegelt alle m¥glichen einfl?sse wieder. punk, oi!, rock n roll, hardcore. nenn es einfach streetpunk, oder such dir selbst einen begriff aus. die teilweise politischen und sozialkritischen, aber auch ironischen und schlicht aus dem allt?glichen leben gegriffenen texte werden kombiniert mit treibenden riffs und eing?ngigen melodien.die produktion des albums ist der hammer 12 bzw. 14 richtig gute songs die es einem schwer machen nicht von anfang an mit zu gr¥hlen
denk ?ber die freiboiter was du willst. mit ihrer spielfreude und energie brauchen die f?nf jungs keinen vergleich zu scheuen. schon gar nicht mit irgendwelchen zweifelhaften, in die jahre gekommenen reunion-bands. dies wurde im in- und ausland, bei shows mit brigada flores magon, broilers, guerilla, heros & zeros, klasse kriminale, loikaemie, los fastidios, lurkers, lokalmatadore, miburo, the movement, oppressed, prowlers, peter and the test tube babies, sham 69, stage bottles, sidekick, subhumans, scrapy, u.k. subs, volxsturm etc. schon mehrfach unter beweis gestellt.
es w?re falsch die freiboiter als reine politische band zu bezeichnen, jedoch ist der begriff >antifascist oi!< nicht nur beiwerk, sondern fester bestandteil des selbstverst?ndnisses der band. das k¥nnen heutzutage wohl nur wenige bands aus dem so genannten streetpunk sektor von sich behaupten.gib ihnen etwas bier (besser nicht zu viel!), schn?r die stiefel und mach dich bereit f?r den sound aus motorcity stuttgart.

cyber dance records unleash their fifth record entitled somewhere out on the nightside. the ep consists of four tracks introducing a new batch of artists to the cyber dance cartel, brassica, serious lover, bill ambrose and melanie houston. brassica is the music of hackney bedroom producer michael anthony wright. hes had a couple of records on dissident and has a few more lined up for some other quite well-known labels over the next year. ballo dei morti was conceived one dark christmas day in milan and features the chorus of slayers dead skin mask vocoded in italian. the track has been eagerly awaited on vinyl after several months of attention through blogs such as 20 jazz funk greats and vice magazines music blog. serious lover is the brain-child of london based producer sam ryan who fuses electro-soul influences of early jam and lewis production with a more modern, harder sound, employing vintage synths and archaic drum machines in the studio and electronic musicians for the full live show. bill ambrose has been producing music on his collection of vintage synths and drum machines for over a decade, working behind the scenes as a producer or engineer on several releases. he wrote paranoid specifically for cyber dance earlier this year. melanie houston is a dj, musician and producer from london with a passion for dark, emotional music and a previous history in berlin where she djd and contributed music for the cult techno label tresor. with influences incorporating everything from avant-garde electronics to 80s synth pop, melanies as renowned for her skills on the turntables in the mix as for her abilities in the studio.

limited vinyl edition of the black dog s new album on soma quality recordings. each of the 500 copies is hand numbered and screen printed by the artists. 3 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. the black dog are without a doubt one of the hardest working acts in electronic music. no sooner have they released one of 2008s best albums in >radio scarecrow< and the massive 12 inch >detroit vs. sheffield< which featured two remixes from detroit minimal grandmaster robert hood, they now prepare for their next album release. >further vexations< is a real successor to >radio scarecrow<. the thinking behind the predecessor is still very evident with even more bite, but theres something about the new album that lends itself to the dark club atmosphere. perhaps the recent bout of constant gigging has had its effect on the act because this one is going to be tearing up floors around the world on its release. >further vexations< might have taken half the time to create but still manages to maintain the same degree of meticulous detail and attention as its predecessor, and is a complete package of tracks demanding to be listened to from start to finish. >further vexations< looks to rouse the sort of political attitudes that have been sorely missing from electronic music since raves backlash against the criminal justice act in the 90s.

the final record from oakland, cas psychedelic quartet, the gris gris, was recorded live at the warehouse where greg ashley resides. the twilight had come and the fat lady sang. the final bell tolled for the brightest sons of the oaklandish psychedelic revolution. here is the final piece to that hazy, mysterious, yet strangely familiar sound this band created. with songs from both records played with ferocity and sonic mayhem, the story of the gris gris is here. bright. swirling. gnarly. electric...

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks

3 amazing classics by eddy grant on one 12inch!! must have!!!

an unsigned trio consisting of members from wales and northern ireland, two door cinema club make no secret of the fact their rhythm section is computer-assisted. likened to death cab for cutie and broken social scene, a few imminent uk dates are followed by european shows. every now and again a song comes along which, once heard, feels like it has become ingrained in your skin - and this is one of those tunes. a quirky combination of electro-pop and indie, the key lies within a relentless beat combined with an airy guitar riff. add in harmonious vocals and youve an infectious ditty, but whether it falls on the side of genius or annoyance may change with repeated listens

wash your hands before touching this record and your ears before listening to its sound! this invaluable collection of sounds deserves to be handled with care and love.
