with tuomas salmela aka phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish techno and house producers, with releases on 2020 vision, poker flat, moodmusic or f-com-munications. salmelas sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. he does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks n cuts or doing too much sound research. phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that dont need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. similarly to guy gerber, phonogenics productions also are somewhere in between techno and houseand even use elements of trance. however, salmelas productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody

one of ibizas top summer of 2007 songs, revered dennis ferrers >touched the sky< is served up three different ways here. managing to make its gospel house chorus sound almost scary yet distinctly house, joe claussells remixes defiantly add something new to this song. multi-layered and complex, the song rewards listeners with finding something new about the track every time its spun on the dance floor. and the deep, diva style vocals from mia tuttavilla are warped in >joes dub beats< into static-y notes that fit perfectly inside the hidden pockets of this remix. this is perfect music for after-hours. and in the same vein, >yass dubstrumental< adds another layer of something fresh andstraight out of left field on this massive hit from ferrer

asylum seeker + padded cell rmx blackpool refugee, cycling fiend and house music-machine magik johnson joins curfew for obviously his finest piece of music ever. imagine dj sneak, switch and jesper dahlback all kept hostage in a small room under orders to make something really good or be shot. filtered electro riffs build the pressure over a huge rumbling bass-end, then it drops into a techy hook that sounds like richie hawtin remixing a john carpenter soundtrack. paranoid and minimal as you like - and then back to the earth shattering beats & bass..

adam beyers drumcode imprint is about to go through something of a rennaissance with some simply sublime material about to hit the streets this autumn/winter. traditionally his labels would always have a very swedish bias - something which has now opened up to include new exciting producers from further afield. one of these producers who adam greatly admires is perc who has delivered this devastating 3 tracker for drumcode. perc has his own label perc trax and his recent remix of dj hell on kickin records was a firm favourite in adams sets for many months….

promise land is a solid deep soulful groove created by koyla. the demo floated around the bombay itunes player for a few of weeks, we needed someone to tear this track up. we tried a couple of options it wasnt working this groove needed something killer. thats were good friend jrod indigo come into play, san fran neo soul singer decides to come into lovely vancouver to hang for a while at bombay studio hq, and thats were the story starts for this track. jrod writes and lays down his song and creates the promise land over koylas ripping hooks and players. everyone is diggin the direction, timmy comes in and throws in some backups, inhouse producers sean dimitrie and nav take all the parts and put together a b side. the awaaz mix takes the track into a late night bumping funky direction with ambient tripped out textures and hard detroit style chords. overall this is a classic style ep with a real organic disco avour, that will never die for us. koyla and jrod are true musicians and deserve the fullest respect in this genre.

when jesse rose and future house music berliner oliver $ got together it was obvious that something special was about to happen and we would say thats exactly what went down. head to the a-side for jesses deepest ever remix, subtel yet straight to the point…the release fits the label perfectly, just five minutes of grooves with that twisted edge. already getting plays by the likes of bob the builder, fritz the cat, the furry freak brothers, eddie murphy and the likes. keep it real, keep it dumb, keep it playing... dj support matthias tanzmann, dj t, anja schneider ...

sunburst offers layers of eerie, whispered vocals wrapped around a dark and menacing chord pattern. as the track develops though, the chords open out to bring light to the dancefloor and dramatically change the mood into something wonderfully uplifting. marc also offers a reduced version of >sunburst< as a dub to complete the trip. the alexkid remix brings some proper old school house vibes to the mix. alex and his 909 go to work on marcs stabs to devastating effect. all hands are destined to reach for the lasers when the bass-line drops, and just in time for the summer. parisian alexkid works his magic for the remix. alexkid has in the past remixed everyone from astor piazzolla to george michael, provided serious dancefloor fuel with tracks like >dont hide it< and a number of critically acclaimed albums for the fantastic french label f communications

special random one-sided release! will make the hearts of collectors go boooom! a fairytale is looming on the horizon of the unknown. one must not tame a fairytale. fairytale lies in absence. eremits rebel against the power of the kings and for their romantic nature, secrecy should be the rule. they complain about our reasoning of the land - that we bought socrates for logical dissilusion. but where have all the flowers gone? why matemathics instead of metamathics? pursuing what all philosophy has tried, that is, to avoid metaphysics, and because i feel that tonights peasantry without pleasantry is somehow nervous, wanting for something to make sense - you outrageous calculists - i am going to tell you the secret that underlines what you have heard until now. because all i want to do is hug you close, and all that you want to do is to be hugged - consider it as a gift

jerome sydenham and rune rk first met about 5 years ago, when jerome first played club rust in copenhagen. rune was the club resident, and the two immediately connected over the decks. even though their styles were very different, there was a mutual respect and understanding for the music. in november 2006 jerome and rune decided to go to the studio and see if these magnetic poles could be joined - and from nowhere magic happened. a new mutant of sounds and arrangements emerged. not really house, not really techno, but dirty and soulful at the same time. energetic, yet calm, these tracks are something new. they dont sound like rune rk, and they dont sound like jerome sydenham. so what do they sound like? have a listen

included is a remix bangana, already getting huge support from djs like franck roger, osunlade, loco dice, paolo mojo and gilles peterson. its time for us to present a new solo artist on heya hifi clarisse muvemba. you might recognise her voice from previous releases lovebeat and nini by sumo. but this is something totally different. this time shes all by herself in a brand new jazzy dress. and it sounds damn good!

sven väth open air burner & also big with steve bug, claude von stroke, mike monday, c-rock, kiki, orlando voorn, satoshi tomiie, dj yellow !! mark august – just exalted by innervisions for their secret weapons mini sampler, known through his outstanding contribution on our compilation >grand cru< and his amazing releases on mezzotinto and curle, he enters our label family fully now with his first own release. his tracks declare his love to detroit techno and house, somehow modern but with a classic understanding. when he goes live, you should be prepared for something extraordinary. a wide colourful and dynamic pallet of sound that may amaze in its deepness but will rock your mind and body nonetheless. old joy – there is no happiness without sadness. this cognition was the initial point for this extravaganza. this timeless track sounds like a fine blend of an old djax-up record and fresh neodetroitish ingredients. its long build-up makes >old joy< a perfect match for the open-air season 2007

slutbox (billy dalessandro & daniel mnookin) >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep (jason emsley & brian ffar remixes) billy dalessandros, daniel mnookin & brian ffars beloved siteholder returns with one of the best releases in the labels history. the sound is infectious, minimal minded and addictive, spreading through the world like an epidemic this only proves their chapter on techno is yet to be written. the title track is intricate, layered and warm, some might say it makes reference to sleeparchive with its metallic drums and deep analog vibrations. the massive sub bass is something you must experience on a raging dancefloor at 5am, this will jack you straight into the afternoon. dark haunting vocals (very on par with the m_nus crew) clicks & cuts percussion and decaying melodies. flip this one over for massive analog richness with this huge jason emsley mix which i get the feeling he took a lot of influence from dan bell back in the day as this sounds like revisiting the 7th city again, stunning. the brian ffar & huge hephner mix is filled with ever evolving basslines and residual synth pulses on top of bass sophistication thatll beg for deviant behavior at any hour. perfection if i may say so myself, do not miss

the catchiest new electro single to drop in a long time, this song has a bounce and funk that is rare in this scene and only a remix from beastie boy adam horowitz can out do juan in rhythm aka adrock gives it a slap bass electro reworking with robo voices and a timely early eighties thump. tg-3x is deep techno that climaxes to something both terrifying and beautiful, like classic detroit, minimal and emotional

clectic producer johnny dangerous returns to king st. with yet another esoteric single, only yourself. his unique spoken word vocal stylings are what set him apart from other dance music producers. haunting as they may seem, they penetrate the psyche while the underlying rhythms rev up the body. italian heavy hitting producers, the pasta boys, are on board to give this an effective synthy remix thats perfectly inline with johnnys lexis. edgy, dark, minimal, techy and punchy, their remix gives energy without being overly aggressive. for those who need something a bit lighter, johnny dangerous original mix puts a bit of the funk and soul back into the song with guitar wa was and slapping percussion. theres something incredibly sexy about what johnny dangerous brings into being. is it his voice? his lyrics? his production? whatever it is, its good, and a pasta boys remix to boot? buon apetito

excellent deep grooving summer feeling house business

a slightly steppy intro will get the crowd going. but when that bass drops you d better be holding on to something (or someone). this is minimal understated breaks at its best, stripped down beats and rolling bass complemented by hi end riffs and a little bit of pad to add warmth. anti science comes up with a remix that toughens, embellishes and shines an already dazzling gem into a thing of rare beauty and bass

something really special for old school electro funk lovers
