stompin mixture between hard techno and techno with little chicago jump flavour

darkos productions have attracted the attention of djs from all over the world. his remix of the title track of nina mirandas (smoke city) album shrift in 2005 was one example, earning him critical acclaim when the remix reached the top 10 in the us download charts. more recently mr rakas has joined darko and his strange worlds collective. together they have embarked on a musical mission, blending deep minimal house and techno with eastern european romani gypsy jazz. simplicity is the operative word best to describe this release. the over sexed sax solo of sexaphone (a one take wonder performed by ben hadwen) takes house music to a new level, whilst danote on the other hand reflects on the hypnotic repetition of the hook, building a solid groove around a repeating synth line, appearing here in two versions, the stripped back extended mix and the more immediate club edit. another great release from the up, coming and one to watch label universal vibes.

here you have a little history of house music in one package. i ve lost control (an ode to the sleazy b / marshall jefferson trax records release) is played by ame, radio slave, phonique, shinedoe, d julz, alex smoke and more.

limited to 500 copies, coloured vinyl !! one of detroits most respected names, mike huckaby serves up a floor burning epic with his s y n t h mix. it opens up with killer shards of metallic chords, coloured in deep analogue emotion until the last second when a kick nearly explodes and drops low end so sinister your heart may skip a beat. this well crafted array of tone could only come from mikes expert use of the legendary waldorf wave synthesizer, with his timeless rendition of juans classic this is destined to be legendary. after the smoke clears were transported into ambient territory with intrusions lengthy 18 minute ambient voyage. the textures fade into pantone colours before opening up into a silvery lo-fi sonic palette, a sort of slow motion metamorphosis you could only compare to the works of thomas köner or wolfgang voigts, gas project. this is love in lo-fi

hot on the heels of acclaimed releases for four:twenty, dessous, sonar kollektiv, buzzin fly and his own diynamic usic, house producer du jour mladen solomun returns with his second stunning single for dessous after the sublime >sambada ep<. >woodstep< is a percussive trip to the heart of house, a tech-tinged groove peppered with strange tribal rhythms, evoking a midnight trek into the sultry tropical rainforest. on the flip, >no comment<, an analogue bubblebath of a bassline propels a techier cut, where detroit washes do battle with stepping keys, a crisp beat and belches of hissing smoke. halfway through, a spoken word sample ushers in lush echoic piano chords, taking the track to the next level. combining the heavily rhythmic bustle of classic house with the darker touch of techno in his own idiosyncratic & dancefloor - capti-vating way, solomun once agains shows why hes rapidly becoming one of the most in-demand producers in the game

hinode’ is a tribute and farewell to our favourite club, yellow in tokyo. we’ve played some great gigs there, six or seven hours in the dark with eight hundred people and one strobe light – perfection. endless saki in the bar, obligatory stalkers (“93!” and hedgehog girl step forward please), smoke and heat on the dance floor. finally emerging deafened and sun blinded into the brilliance of saturday mid-morning in tokyo… backing up the original is an exceptional remix from our favourite techno genius - fergie.

essential rhythms with melodic sounds and a push. incl jeff samuel remix

set to be one of the summers biggest tunes in clubs and festival fields alike, manchesters indie-dance heroes return with the epic floor filler >divebomb< crystal castles adding their mixture of sex.murder.smoke on a speedy remix. thewhip clearly are one of the hardest working bands in pop right now with no fewer than 40 odd shows between now and mid july to find energy for – but fear not, find the energy they will. crystal castles is the most most most whatever band in the world with their way of articulating as if they devoured children while singing. they come from toronto. on their myspace, under >influences<, they answer : murder, glazed-looked girls, knives. whacky

a stunning 3 track ep. >enter the night< provides a very funky vibe. with minimal feel, typified in cuts (yeah, shake a leg!), this records kicks off with a house rhythm before a bristling bass really starts driving the piece along. a smoke filled voice soon comes in, throwing the listener off talking about nights and exits or no exits while the track >no exits< on b2 is a fine and dark mixture of crisp beats and glitchy percussion to create a forceful groove as spluttery synth stabs keep up the incessant pressure. cuts of mazi s vocal twist things just that bit more evil as the house edged mood continues its push further into new depths of mayhem. the driving melody in >sarabbath< on b1 is quite a head-turner and should create a stir in the clubs, using the more minimal and melody side of this great 12inch

jimi polar is the newest addition to the future classic family, making sublime minimal music with a vivid australian aesthetic and undeniable floor appeal. here comes an atmospheric club rocker with a bahnstorming remix by robert babicz aka rob acid. fans of buttrich, ame, claude von stroke, alex smoke, etc should find this effective !!
