london based masters of the groove berkson & what are back on pokerflat with another sublime excursion into deep flowing hypnotic and modern house music. the pairs infamous live show has taken them far and wide, delivering their detailed and unparalleled electronics from berlin to miami and back... now their story continues with the >ghosts ep<. the extended, jacking trip that is >ghosts< is a strong grooving reduced house track in the purest sense of the phrase. tough, tight chicago style beats flare and snap as a melancholic and mysterious synth motif dances around the funk-meets-dub bass sequence. all manner of ethereal spoken word passages, uplifting vocal meanderings and cuts are then intertwined in a complex ambiguous narrative that fills the room with the ghosts of house and soul music gone by... understated, uncompromising and super functional! next up the boys lay down a tribal house groover, full of thick keys, richly embellished drums and spiritual vibes a-plenty. no doubt first jammed out during one of their long studio sessions, the live feel and flowing arrangement opens up beautifully with soft key flourishes and tender vocal hooks.

>faith< is a breathtaking longplayer that is produced from the early points in my life where house music at the time between 1994-1998 was more open and free without styles clashing and everyones sound was being admired. the productions and concepts for this projects was created by...

many deeply-rooted house influences from blaze to larry heard
to early 1990 strictly rhythm housegrooves witth strong influences of jazz
to intelligent new jakbeat tracks with less noise clatter and more
soft-cushioned toned multi-melodies and vocals.
faith is a creation from all of my life experiences
also everyone s life in general.
the world we live in..
the struggles
death
life
parenthood
finance to survive
sharing
friendship/relationship
this is the story which unfolds thru emotional emancipation manifestion....
then the alternative thoughts....

beautiful
melodically high
strong
vital,
true,

its more than a house album, its a complete story...
with jtc singing vocals. myself(traxx) singing vocals

ironic? no, it�s dead serious: sally shapiro keeps on dreaming of barbie and ken. sometimes good things come to those who wait, as is the case with sally shapiro. one shouldn�t really imagine the bashful swede from göteborg, who never performs live, setting a new trend for turning down lucrative offers. and the thought that she is working on something hip, is most likely even a little eerie for her. after all, she s just into something, which she�s been doing since her childhood in the 1980s � singing songs in the style of her idol sandra (�maria magdalena�). if she hadn�t met her companion johan agebjörn, who despite his musical socialization with techno in the 1990s has been deep into italo disco for the past few years and is a collector of zyx records, sally�s passion for synthi songs and fairy-like female vocals would have remained private. however, johan was screwing together some italo-style songs when he asked sally (whose voice he�d only heard from a previous christmas party karaoke) if she would improvise on his soft keyboard tunes, their collaboration was a done deal.
subsequent to their first releases on the labels diskokaine and permanent vacation, sally shapiro suddenly found herself in the midst of the ultra-hip neo/italo-disco movement, which is especially big in scandinavia. why of all things on the northern peninsula, where one traditionally listens to black metal and indie rock played with legs spread apart, the peculiar, yet sunny disco music became such an export hit, stays one of the mysteries of the pop business. it�s a fact, though, that next to internationally celebrated norwegian neodisco-heroes lindström, prins thomas and todd terje, the lovely sally has become the scandinavian disco-act in the mean time.

just in case someone might have forgotten: stil vor talent is based in berlin. and this ep by sascha braemer, one part of heinrich & hirtenfellner, proves just that. braemer, whos just been at the top of everybodys dj charts with his funk-laden minimal soul piece >mamba drums< on kindisch records, has donated three tracks to oliver koletzkis imprint that mirror what this city is best know for: funky minimal grooves. first up there is >ghost track< a typical dry minimal loop with a rhythmically in touch vocal sample that is then juxtaposed by a simply astonishing piece of melody. goose bumps and groove humps on the floor - guaranteed! on the flip: >girl<. here braemer has created a dubby piece of tech house that floats towards a soulful vocal and some beautiful strings. this is one for the early morning, or in berlin, the late afternoon, those times when everything seems in perfect harmony with each other. last up is >guitar man<, yet another very sample-based stripped down loop with one riff of an echoed guitar being the protagonist. when that riff is fully played out, we all know its summer. but it wouldnt be berlin if there werent some dark wobbly basslines seemingly destroying this but in fact creating the perfect combination of soft and hard, of light and dark. on top of this the vocal sample >i wont leave< perfectly encapsulates the vibe of the praised berlin afterhour. stil vor talent is back at home with this ep.

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.

played by: monika kruse,laurent garnier, margaret dygas, richie hawtin, brothers vibe, tom clark,tim xavier, karotte and many more ! after the >yakamoz< debut on frankfurt based label >below<, the young talented matt brown comes on einmaleins with his first solo ep..!! the three tracks follow his house roots, with deep influences and groovy rhythms, vocal loops and soft synths..!! a very complete and strong release..!!

4 track s pure sci-fi electro from carl finlow & friends... ft_silicon scally/sync 24/signal type/matt whitehead

disco fizz is the second album by italian disco group azoto. many say that azoto pioneered the whole italo sound, with incredibly ahead of their time productions going right back too 1977. disco fizz may contain one of the most covered disco tracks of all time san salvador, which has reared its head under countless of remixes and pop cover versions, however if you dig a little deeper this album is packed full of incredible and timeless italo disco. anytime or place literally jumps out the speakers to get you moving, while >exalt exalt< showcases their take on the darker side of electronic disco.

tensnake has been hamburgs best-kept secret. has been! past 12inchs for labels like radius, mirau (which he co-runs) or his gorgeous >keep believin< three-tracker for endless flight speak louder than words. on top he delivered all these nice remixes for the likes of junior boys ( fm÷ is theee one), sally shapiro or more recently toby tobias on rekids. firmly rooted in new yorks sweaty boogie dreams and with a soft spot for dazzling house music, >in the end< stays true to tensnakes juicy techniques and pleases our friends and colleagues (radio slave, robet dietz, prins thomas, gilbr, mark e) alike. we start off with a courageous house tune that has all the qualities of an a-side and concisely defines the dilemma of lovers: in the end someone always has to cry. but as long as it sounds like a cutty ranks rocket launcher, we want test it. the other side of the medal features >holding back my love< a slow-motion disco robot bomb with a crooning tensnake on the mic that makes everyone feel happy like they should. finally, >thethenunknown< somehow melts the moodiness of early factory records (think a certain ratio with a little finger exercise) with the atmosphere of kenneth dixon jr.s >misled< - one for the heart, soul and your headphones. at least, gerd feels and thinks like that. speaking of feelings. if downloads are your thing, you can get the digital bonus track >can you feel it< at all the usual spots. how is that for a change? this guy aint a blindschleiche

incl rmxs by steve rachmad, markantonio & jospeh capriati and danilo vigorito last month xclusive brought you mauro picottos incredible >living for the time<. backed by its wonderful technasia >soft< and >hard< remixes, it found favour from a huge variety of worlds top names. now the italian supremo returns alongside his bakerloo partner riccardo ferri with his next offering on his own alchemy records

nice price deal !!! nils hess and henry cullen has been going for 2 yearsnow, and is the concept of henry cullen, otherwise knownas dave the drummer, and pat-trix henry has worked asan engineer / producer for many years with nils hess andwhen nils re-started the eukatech label it seemed obviousto bring their talents together as a collaboration on thelabel.
a: coalix - a poetic arrangement of rhythmic subbassline and synoptic kicks builds nervously into soft lyricalvibraphones giving the track its melody. with the additionof the fast monotonic synthesizer, nils hess & henrycullen completes this piece of dance floor magic.
b1:coalix (mutate to survive remix) - the funky remix withexhilarating build-ups producing a sexy and vibrant floorfiller. everybody should believe!
b2: red fifth - the warm synthesizers and playful melodies create a supernatural sci-fi feeling with some retro 80s sounds towards the end. the guys have created a tight arrangement with minimal acid build that takes the mind to another world.

spaced out mixes by mighty mouse, morris and mckie and soft rocks!! cant afford to miss this...

brakes is comprised of members of british sea power, electric soft parade, restlesslist, pipettes and tenderfoot. the band have toured with belle and sebastian, the killers, buck 65, and editors, as well as headlining many tours of their own. touchdown was recorded at the legendary glasgow studio chem 19 by the delgados paul savage (mogwai, arab strap, malcolm middleton) and mastered by the similarly legendary alan douches at west west side, ny. two singles are being released to coincide with the album ? colin murray has fervently supported the first, hey hey, on his radio show, and the songs iseetigers produced video featured as a drowned in sound exclusive before its universal release.

direct from san francisco via beautiful marseille, france - iot recordings delivers 3 tracks of twisted dancefloor mayhem with the 3 step behind the cube release. always a master of taking sounds and tweaking them to an original shape, audiovoids aggressive beats mashed with beautiful melodies and hacked up layers of sound remind us that music can rock the body as well as the mind! softbluecubes is one of our favorite tracks from lindsey, here he gives it to us at 2 tempos, hes got a sound of his own and it is here to stay! funny ox rounds out the release with a breakbeat/dubstep hybrid - an original banger that progresses through hacked dubstep riddims to funky booty bouncing - blended together with all the right glitches and bass to push our buttons!

abusing our soft side for dub edgar 9000 gave us these compelling tracks.>play me minus three (patience vs. epiphany mix)< û what starts like a nicely arranged minimal tune bubbles and billows after a short pause up to a big ride on the acid-dub-ghost-train. at the latest when the decently deployed and gated french horn pad sets in on the second half you are completely lost. not for quick peep û but beware: danger of addiction of endless playing is definitely given.meanwhile the title >hook & bait< of the b-side rather reads like the basic principle of fishing. it really sounds like the classic principle of ambient à well almost, since in this case this ambient track is drifting along itself, underlined with a straight driving and floating rhythm fed by an earthly bassline.petri heil! (as we say in krauts-country)

a summer single from abe duque feat. remix from dj hell(gigolo). following up his don t be so mean vinyl series and upcoming cd release of the same title. women and man speak. duque rhythms. soft yet pumps

fresh new label from cyclone belgium , start off with some all round tough edged jacking and pounding techno tracks. both sides have deep and bassy flava with long progressive buildup of miminmal sounds. so if you fancy a bit of dancefloor action, you should probably check this out. supported by jamie dill, peaky pounder and many more ...

nice dubsteppin split ep by audiovoid and funny ox!!

after recently releasing astonishing records on vakant & kalk pets, dewalta is hitting now even more dynamic and powerful the springtime floors. back on his motherlabel with great & unusual music and we dare to say that it is our favorite release of him so farà >saluki< starts straight with a crafty bass driven smooth rocket and build its self up alongside a guiding piano loop to reach very atmospheric frictions. soft choir singing here and there, various dub sounds brushing in the space, bringing all sound aficionados into a beautiful ride. dewaltas crispy rhythms are eventually fading out into melancholic and moving detroitish strings, to complete this unique piece of music. >shagya< on the flipside is a self-developing carnevalesque odyssey. its such a profound & delicious kickdrum, tightened with an extraordinary bass presence, its simply irresistible not to groove happily on that one. all is enriched with polyphonic balafon rhythms and hilarious african rooted chants - this is the energetic tool for those special intimate moments. a perfect track when lust and familiarity is present within the crowd and we consider time as officially end.

after the brilliant albums by alex cortex, cim and lucky & easy, now the swedish volunteer dribs comes with this warm brilliant debut album. the ann aimee label specialises in warm, originally crafted, electronica sounds. where the two first albums had a touch of the detroit sound, the album by lucky & easy and this new album by dribs go more along the lines of plaid, autechre and boards of canada. the full sleeve artwork for this release comes again by delta.inc, who gave all releases of the label their remarkable outfits! as introduced with his blending ep, dribs is the newest scout on board. dribs, on earth known as fredrik stling, comes with this full 12 track album with beautiful carefully crafted electronica. all tracks come in gentle and easy, and in sound come most close to arovane or boards of canada. intruiging rhythms, together with the soft beautiful melodies, make this a perfect listening album for the autumn and winter to come. beautiful

(cari lekebusch & mohan das rmxs) shaman has a nice type of soft impact... it somehow manages to add energy to the crowd without being louder than the track before it. to the tired ears of veteran djs, thats a rare pleasure.

a soundscape of dance floor dreams - soft yet progressive, a track that commands you to dance. shine kicks up the pace, balancing a heavy elasticized bottom end with some deep and dark synth action!

serialism continues to deliver superb electronic dance music with queen atom? debut ep. outta is a journey through mental, dark and deep soundscapes yet funky and harmonic, generally different from the whole vibe of nowadays minimal music. ?orror fest?is a unique piece that combines old school, long, hypnotic grooves, with fresh and innovative sounds, rainy soft synth tones and warm atmospheres reminding as a result of classic new wave techno from the 90s, mixed up with the freshest and avantgarde sound of the present. on the flip me2 and phlanoptik close the ep in a very stylish fashion.more percussive, more dancefloor, driven by a un-typical order that makes those two, special tunes for collectors. serialism bring us another release for the music lovers, perfect for after hours mood but also easy to listen at home.

a fine classic tune from 1999, back in stock.. killer technasia rmxs

next analytic >shuffle< bomb! this time elia is to sign a triplet decisive. his tracks mark a turning point for the markantonios music label, proposing a more soft techno compared to the canons of neapolitan funky groove style. elia crank out melodies that enhance most the minimal accompaniments with a totally involving effect. shona, shuffle and talking fish are the tracks with which, throughout the winter, we will rhythmically raise from the ground!

ever since hearing the terrestrial variations ep and later the vicarious disco ep we have been big fans of nebraskas work. thats why we were happy and surprised at the same time when we found out he had an unreleased ep in his catalog...

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

wie eine housige rare groove version von dc

main groove and the deep going atmosphere! awesome release!!! with two deep and modern-groove tracks, jenn appears the first time on her own, in 2007 founded, label popnorama. since 2005 she produces a lot of minimal teknoid tracks and remixes, which are always a bit dark and reflective. her style is always regognizeable. considering to her releases on karateklub recordings, she introduces now on popnorama, her soft and gently side of music productions. feel the main groove and the deep going atmosphere she creates!

this release is becoming one of our favorites of the year! there are 2 mixes to compliment this massive original. the first mix comes from canadian underground breaks mastermind evan michael who leaves nothing behind in this peaktime mix. the evan michael mix is filled with dirty breaks, raw basslines and a massive breakdown fit for any big room dance floor. last up on the flip is fabian schumann, another underground sensation who brings a more chilled mix to the table, adding crisp bouncy melodies and a soft bassline.

played by: jimpster, nick curly, martin eyerer, eddie richards, stryke, rulers of the deep, tom novy, c-rock, leandro gamez, timewriter.... hearing the new single from gorge seems like he slices this three tracks into big pieces of love and everybody gets one of it.the clear and simple arrangements create beautiful appearances of soft and light energy in mind, body and soul. this three tracks will take you on a ride through your inside and you ll skim over the waves we promise!!!
