part ii ? axis audio. mokira once told kontra-musik that three analog tape echoes are needed to produce one mokira track. when listening to the track axis audio you can hear why. metallic bursts of sound hits like waves on an irish shore in autumn. kept together by a solid bassline and a fragile melody axis audio is an excursion in beautiful sounds. on the b-side, echospace (deepcord, modern love) makes you dance. it is distorted, it is minimal, it is raw and last but last not least, it is oh so funky. this track will move dance floors.

sasha carassi is back on his phobiq imprint with the fiberboard ep!with synths sounding like liquid tension, the original mix is a journey through tough beats and frantic electronics. the mighty slam are in charge of the first remix and they take the dark and dirty route, stripping the original down and adding some bleakness of their own, only to surprise us with an old school-sounding breakdown. the acid mix is slightly more rolling, featuring snappy drums and pulsating percussion, which takes us to the fourth track of the ep closing up is tom laws, who has been making his own unmistakable noise as of late. utilizing simple,yet solid drums he offers us a clearer picture of the tense synths while maintaining the vibe of the original.

rome, italy native fabio bacchini has been holding it down for underground house music with his label mind travel, but takes a step to the left to give us a hot little ep on transport. the roman disco ep is exactly what it says on the box: no fancy gimmicks here, this release is comprised of four solid disco house jams. the first tune >weekender< is a nice phase guitar loop jam with signature disco pulsating strings amidst the happy snapping snare beats and soul train vocal snips. next is my favorite cut, >money talks<, a straight up disco rhodes organ jam a la the crusaders. add some saxophone in there for points with ladies, and you have yourself a jam. on the flip we have >in the mood< is takes the mood a bit deeper with a nice n spacey groove amidst a rhythm heavy beat. throw some synth strings and keys riffs in there for good measure and there you have it... disco house. sometimes stays within the same formula but brings a more pulsating sound that pushes the music. the tune is still deep and groovy as the ep winds down...

and there’s more.. number six in million dollar disco’s latest release series, as you’ve probably come to expect, is more vintage dancefloor fodder from the reels (mac) of al kent.. “message to the people” started life as a classic, then went through the blender, coming out all wrong, but so right. stomping along on a killer clav groove, punctuated by horns and an evergreen vocal. ” feel the groove” is a heavy hitter, thumping drums and bass with a synth hook that grabs you and doesn’t let go. finally there’s “keep on doing” which is almost house music in it’s simple repetitive bass groove and gospel style vocal shots.. million dollar disco is loved by dimitri from paris, pat les stache, solid state, cosmic boogie, greg wilson, peter adarkwah, the dead rose music company, horse meat disco, nik weston, chris harris and many many more

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

>contemporary soul< is the term which best describethis release. karat has always felt that records speak for themselves, but if description is necessary, well, there you are. mzkbx (pronounced >music box<) has a soft spot for the classic sound of old school house productions, as well as a healthy fetisch for 80s funk & disco. his productions successfully bring those influences up to date and onwards to the future... veteran record collector and dj (macadam macambo), mzkbx handles the transition to studio with ease, delivering a solid release for karat, in grand style. elegant, classy and sincere, it grooves the dancefloor without reverting to the typical dance music cliches.

with their first co-production, dj / producer paul woolford and the irish-born producer team paul hamill and dee lievense aka psycatron deliver the prove that uk techno has not lost any of its energy or visionary power in the year 2010. after releases for carl craigs planet e label and r & s (psycatron) resp. 2020 vision or renaissance (paul woolford), the two tracks on the >thunder ep< are consequently moving to the next level. >thunder< impresses with extremely dynamic drumming and always changing percussion patterns. a rhythm body that is constantly in motion and will be enlightening every single dance floor with its hypnotic power dub. >cloud 9<, however, is stepping back at first and stresses an explicit chord techno structure despite its solid pumping elements before integrating some noise rave signals following the epic break after some 5 minutes, as it was totally naturally and thus letting the whole floor blast off. with such joy of telling and the eagerness to experiment in a musical way, you are really looking forward to the winter club season 2010/2011!

if god created men and if the ancestors of men are monkeys, then god was a monkey! this is asrs 3th release on simplex records. the original mix is one for the stronger bodies and minds, full of energy & power, balancing between dark crazy techno and solid minimal. the syncopated percussion is pivoting on the berghain based groovy sound. the melody is sparse and therefore a natural step in asrs evolution as a recording artist. the structure of this track embraces well placed developments and sonic changes. the sound of all tracks is coherent and vigorous hypnotic. asr hired minus artist jpls for a remix on the a-side. result is a typical jpls sound. abstract & subtracted. asrs friends, rising smallroom artist mike wall gives a dark dreamy mysterious point of view and japans tech & minimal talent shin matsura hits you straight in the face just like the original mix does. these two producers are the personnel on the b-side.

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.
