maintaining the high levels of filth on the dubstar imprint, f one gives kromestar a run for his money with this one. 3 dancefloor destroyers on this plate, but not wihtout some depth and variety. in particular, stomp the yard brings some different techy kinda vibes to the dance. propa stomping business!

the first twelve from johannes volk gained support keith worthy, mike huckaby, mills, etc. on this second release johannes drops a mighty techno stomper called internal structure reminiscent of some classic robert hood productions from way back. inspired by a severe an damaging tornado storm in volk?s hometown, this incredibly good, yet frantic piece of dance music is build from layer upon layer: static beats, grooving bassline, sweeping synths and a warm rhodes-esque sound make this a apocalyptic but colourful banger. on the flip we have gerd bringing home the potatoes for sure. his take on volk?s internal structure is a mighty acid stomper reminiscent of those warehouse parties, yet it is done in a very contemporary way. check!

permanent vacation present you the first 12inch release from their shiny new joint venture with the great swedish label service (who brought you studio, whitest boy alive, jens lekman, kool dj dust). together they bring us the embassy, a duo from gothenburg that makes the most beautiful songs. their sound is warm and light, but underneath the surface theres always some kind of tension, they sound like an ecstasy fuelled, jewel stealing balearic indie band on a permanent vacation at the riviera. or as they say themselves: underclass disco. the original of lurking (with a distances) sounds like a forgotten manchester rave anthem, while wunderkind tensnake made a little jam session with boney m in his parents basement to provide a heavy remix sporting a great sax and a killer panpipe!

nice price deal !!! the valentinos... or as i should say now the lost valentinos. or the band >formerly known as< the valentinos before their legendary name change? anyway. poor little conquistadors just want to make music... not stress over clause 23 in the trademark agreement over who has the rights to a name. fuck those people, if they only knew about music, if they had a soul, they would pay these kids to share their name! man there is some whackheads out there without a vision. but thank god we do. and thank god the lost valentinos do

played by sebastien leger, laurent garnier, miss kittin, florian meindl, popof, oliver huntemann,.. phunklarique & dejonka a.k.a. piemont return to the knall camp.. another proof why they managed to enter the german producer champions-league within the last year… micro minimal electro-house with some great variations on the sfx side. simple but yet effective original version.…. the remix by their friend bastian heerhorst sounds as if it was recorded on a uboot.

they came from the stars i saw thems new live favourite moon song taken from their recent album “we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at they came from the stars i saw them” comes with a premier set of remixes from serge santiago, holy ghost and mungolian jetset as well as newcomers king of town and weird knights.

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainlly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut. just the way we like it...for int005 we bring you a slow house chugger in the form of break the barriers, done by malaysian born and berlin based frankie flowerz. i have to say, its not by choice i decided to put this track out but a calling... upon hearing this track in frankies myspace player i knew i had to put this out over 12 inches in full scope... i spent some time trying to come up with the perfect match for remix duties and i think weve succeeded with the choice of man of the moment(and soon to be legendary)john daly of galway who turns in a slightly faster, darker and a bit dubbier affair.

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

not a lot is known about who is behind the amplified orchestra moniker, although there is a chicago address stamped on the vinyl. cosmic slope is a spacey number, with bubbly basslines and a full retro synth workout to challenge the likes of moroder and co. it has a great cosmic vibe to it, with some lovely sounding synth solos and a bubbling bassline. the title track, on the flip, fun thing is a sick acid work out with a mean and aggressive 303 bassline, housey stabs, cool strings, superb sy

scatter brain will please those who enjoyed steve recent lets have some fun record on sci + tec. stripped back, energetic techno that builds around chopped up beats and a twisting, tension filled lead hook

on his second ep for myself recordings, erell ranson returns with some new results of his recent studio work. >where the clouds are< shows his true colors, dark, deep techno with a solid detroit-esque feel to it.paul macs remix is more traditionally structured and floor friendly. he pushes the pulsating drive of the original to a maximum, to create a deep club track that will fill the floors all over the globe.deep detroit techno is fast becoming one of the trademarks of myself recordings.

advanced underwater electronics by dj stingray. known for his collaborations with drexciya (as the official drexciyan dj), and also know for his works with carl craig (on retroactive and planet e as urban tribe) and his collabs with old time friends moodymann and more of the detroit house producers. this is some deep almost industrial electro techno from the motor city and stingray presents another double pack (after his release on richard james rephlex label recently) with some raw, no nonsens dark shit from a dark (and some say doomed) city!!

two key players of the scene join forces on figures sixteenth release. no one else than adam beyer and luke slater contribute tracks to this very special ep. mod by luke slaters planetary assault systems project takes off with a fast, breathless groove. its force drags the dancers along, and the mesmerizing bleeps put everybody in a deep trance. within seconds, the solid ground of the dancefloor is nothing but a remote memory. mod has a very special aura, it is hard to grasp its exceptional energy. it appears to be pretty elementary, and yet it is an verwhelming techno anthem which will accompany you for quite some time. adam beyers simulated usage surprises the crowd with its elegance and subtlety. forming an irresistible funk, the fabric of the track interweaves various tiny elements. this savageness obviously manifests in his musical approach which can be characterized by his open-mindedness in regard to diverse influences, currents and styles. simulated usage is strong and joyful, it is techno in its best sense. once again, adam beyer und luke slater manage to coin the face of contemporary club music.

nice price deal !!! nother pounding hybrid set of low-end killers here from hot-flush, kicking off with the tumbling rhythms and wobbling sublow of ?deep under? - its a track that teeters on the brink of breaks science throughout, keeping itself wrapped up in a relentless bass envelope despite the distractions brought on by constantly evolving skitters - mighty stuff. the rhodes-inflected breaks and bass clash of ?sparkle? offers time for reflection on the flip, borrowing a melodic underlay from some abandoned, dusty jazz-club somewhere strange, tugging you back underground with its careful arrangement if frequencies at the lowest end of the spectrum. righteous

lets break the door, enter the club and play some intergalactic funk!

made by sean colt for bush in 2002, these 2 techno-monsters got some acidic as well as epic moments.

4 track sampler taken from the cd of the same name man of the moment laidback luke with some tasty bombs!

big with: xpansul, mandy, chris fortier, alexi delano, chris fortier, angel molina, miss kittin, iñaqui marín, maurice aymard, davide squilache, jay x, joy kitikonti, djulz,.. after a few months completely absorbed by pulshar, the dub project he shares with aphro, pablo bolívar comes back to regular with his most characteristic output: emotional electronica. and he does so with a powerfull and subtle ep. scifi winter tales: cold, fragile and deep techno. memories of a distant future... shadow machines : pablo keeps the pace at a cruising speed with a classy tracks only him knows how to do. but attention: at half track some strange arrangements appear. deep space sounds that send the music to another dimension

tweaked monosynth lines and rich polyphonic pads are featured on most tracks, and single note patterns of various timbre often reinforce the grooves. the title track on the a-side is as simple as effective and the name relates to some of the percussion parts which reminded them of a rodent digging a hole in the ground. first on the b-side is >if i was a man<, a slow-down groover with a dark and funky atmosphere, inspired by barbara alcindor s abstract spoken words, becomes more and more twisted towards the end of the track. last but not least, >zig zag<, which is named after the wobbly monosynth phrase which is being tweaked throughout the tune. all tracks speak of sweet, riding rhythms and nights full of action. pure quality

franco cinelli, one of the most gifted new producers coming out of argentina, presents here six uncompromisingly quirky club bombs. his previous releases on milnor modern and telegraph have just warmed you up to his sound. now dive in to >profundo amor< and get familiar with these intricately programmed club stompers. you can call it minimal, but when these tracks go ripping through a big pa, thats the last word that will be on your mind. with the opening track >flog<, you get a taste of the freaky after-hours grit that alphahouse records is becoming known for. >m26< is a robotic hair-raiser for the new generation. think minus on steroids. >twisted machine< features a stompy groove and some snare work to drive the dancefloor. >vertientes< is a great dj-tool with a low-slung bassline and dancing synths. >c3d< bounces along with a razor bassline and some tricky transitions. and >project 64< finishes off the lp with a synth line that falls out of the ceiling and straight onto the dancefloor. truly inspiring stuff here, from franco. no filler tracks. all of these are a-sides

2003 tooltechno from naples with some added sweetness.

this year adam beyer s seminal drumcode label celebrates its 10th anniversary. to commemorate this there will be a wealth of material coming out this year as well as some special drumcode parties after the summer that will feature hardcell and grindviks amazing live act. this follows their live cd release from the end of last year. as part of this the gain series will now continue with more material from these 2 and this is the first 4 tracker to continue the series. the tracks themselves are a fresh and varied ranging from the hard synth driven anthem that is salt and the harder driving rhythm gate bay to the exceptionally subtle groove with deep chords that is plankton to the sublime fish tank with its clever building feel and uplifting pads

ffms premium label for deep & minimal sounds qualitative high above standard dance stuff is back from the summer break. traditionally lnz mastermind pascal feos himself lights the lnz release oven and adds his label cataloque with two endurance track runners. it may surprise, how airly the runner with starting number 1 floats through the colourful wood of golden october, cheered on by moogy mild hookline that strokes the drum body. from time to time the race track passes some clearings, the chilling atmosphere of pascal feos side-project aural float waves at the horizon. but then he trots on and on embraced by the feeling of runners high. with the racing number 2 the >generator child< starts athletic but thoughtful on his tom tom-dymanic soles, more and more leading into an 808-hypnotic run on black asphalt. a >generator child< speech sample trails off in the dusk and an lfo-spiralled veil of mist twirls over the head of the scared kid.

remixed by the youngsters and smith and selway! storming techno to burn down some floors!

exotic modern tech-house track with a warm female vocal and some ethno influence
