cluster, the original london techno label from the liberator dj s and the stay up forever label collective is back with a release from the fat collective s own a.p. (stay up forever / audioworx). this four track e.p. is tough quality techno with sharp and heavy beats and sonic twosted riffs. a bonus schranz track, stiff niples, makes this a complete release out to take control of the dancefloor!

nach beendigung des >transall< zyklus & der veröffentlichung der >xerrox< serie nähert sich alva noto seiner früheren rhythmischeren arbeit an. >unitxt< könnte eine fortsetzung seiner >transspray< arbeit sein und erinnert in seiner radikalität und die 90er werke von pan sonic

jesse siminski is one of those musicians its impossible to ignore. whether producing as heartthrob or alter-alter ego vivianne projects his work is instinctive, insightful and driven by an irresistible force that instantly rubs off on the audience. its no surprise then that the first single to be lifted from heartthrobs eagerly awaited debut album >dear painter, paint me< is >signs<, a track that fully demonstrates the extent of his repertoire. one of the highlights of his not-to-miss live set, its also become a corner stone of richie hawtins dj sets over the last few months due to the massive crowd response it generates whenever it drops. billed as homage to classic detroit techno, theres a real air of expectancy about the mix friendly introduction. the powerful kick pattern, swirling sci-fi vocal efx and loose hi hat groove soon make way for the urgent, cavorting main melody that spins off into another dimension before a massive, resonating synthetic bass wipes out everything in its path. one of the main ideas running through the album is the juxtaposition and layering of different rhythms and time signatures and this really comes across on signs, with disco and caribbean inflections adding a cut and thrust to the chugging groove, creating the perfect foil to the sonic mayhem overhead. the b-side features apprentice – a tag heartthrob can safely leave behind with the release of >dear painter, paint me<. of course its another guaranteed floor filler with a finely honed acidic riff that immediately taps into the subconscious...

the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

you is a throbbing, hulking monster of a track, a dark and distinctive foray into sound thats already being championed by sander kleinenberg & pete tong. layering strobing, resonating bass with flickering hi hats and insistant synths, the track hurtles out of the speakers with spacey fx and that unsettling, disembodied voice proclaiming you like an other worldly call to arms! german dance legend tom novy heeds that call with a mighty remix, injecting a hip shaking bassline and shaking up the components of the track, amping the sonic intensity to the max & reinventing you in his inimitable style!

support by pascal feos, phonique, funk d void, pierce, martin eyerer, brian ffar, monoroom, tom pooks, david keno, tocadisco, steve lawler, hernan cattaneo, ....

elvin estela, aka nobody, and singer niki randa are blank blue. >western water music vol. ii< dives deep into psychedelic and folktronic music.

three new tracks by mix mup on mikrodisko. three musical statements, instead of drawing from a wide range of samples from old vinyl, as he did on his last release >dj of higher quality<, mix mup this time mostly relies on his own voice and an all-in-one sequencer. you can hear his love for raw chicago-acid-house b-sides, his affinity for italodisco and sonic experimentation. this is not about a clean sound and a clear arrangement, the tracks were produced in a moment for the moment. all tracks were produced in a single session, without quantising, without a screen, without a mouse. always with some scepticism and his tongue in his cheek

sonotheque is david campanini and alexi dendias as a producer and live duo that already has released a couple of reputable records on tenax records and on their own label sunplay. >get in trouble< is the name of the first 12 produced for doxa records that reveals two tracks from their sonic laboratory in florence and one remix by akiko kiyama (contextterrior, safari, lick my deck). get in trouble on side a is a sensitively produced minimal house track driven by a positive sub feeling. circus fm and circus fm remix on the side b keep it funky, minimal, but have got more a trance spirit that leads directly into after hours.

the man behind chymera is brendan gregoriy. releasing music since 2005, the producer from dublin already has an impressive discography with releases on labels such as delsin or ovum. >ellipsis< and >eulogy< are sonic epics that never cease zu fascinate the listeners. they manage to be bold and sophisticated, powerful and elegant at the same time. they transform the dancefloor in an maelstrom with no way out, and yet they never give their electronic cool away, they always remain subtle and somewhat distant. the sounds form an imaginary landscape, they are a projection surface for one s desires

brilliant 4xlp! a masterpiece!! loco dices much-anticipated debut lp has been created to take the listener on a journey: an album to be treasured as a fine-textured catalogue of the senses. loco dice, who spends much of his time shuttling between the worlds main electronic music ports as an in-demand dj, packed up his studio and relocated to new york city. there, the renowned düsseldorf dj, producer and desolat label head fomented a raw and simmering soundtrack: a nuance-packed collection of sonic interpretations of scenes, characters and moods from the most diverse and mythologised city in the world. the album specifically pays homage to their...

another piece of mayhem in the form of mayday. the sneaky schranzmasters are back! check and recognise

brand new release from madd chaise inc. with more of a techno edge than previous outings. we think this is one of the most promising labels coming from detroit at the moment, along the likes of fxhe and underground quality - so do not sleep! >come with me<, the long-awaited >moonhacker< and >solitaire< are definitely club bangers, while >we are< is reminiscent of old skool soul sonic force. a carnival of funk, foot stomping, pulsating grooves

a powerfull soaring top line driven cut of epic proportions...with a slick house take on things, remix by those canadian wizards of the sonic shiloh on the flip!!

unearthly trance emerged from the nyc underground as a doom outfit and morphed into a distinct metallic beast on their new album electrocution. an epic, impassioned piece of work, electrocution oozes with mysticism and a palpable sense of purpose behind an imposing wall of gut level riffing, canyons of low end and pounding drums. unearthly trance give no quarter in their spiritual war and forges their own sonic path with the awe inspiring electrocution. unearthly trance has previously released two critically acclaimed full lengths on lee dorrians rise above records as well as a single on greg andersons southern lord records.

dark energy is the first in a series of sonic strikes engineered by ur to be carried out during the winter equinox of star year 1994-1995, against programmer strongholds. the primary strike will consist of a series of 6 dark energy waves. this mission will be carried out by nitestrike leader james (suburban night) pennington. the dark energy waves will engulf the earth in a ultraviolet midnight sunshine allowing the suburban night and other resistance forces worldwide to finally see the truth and pinpoint programmer positions for the now mobile ur divisions moving out of detroit for the upcoming assault worldwide. to our brothers and sisters of the underground - stay low, stay strong, stay underground

das lange warten hat ein ende. fym & s-max sind zurück und zwar straighter als zuvor. musik jenseits der minimalen gesetzmässigkeiten die aber nichtsdestotrotz im selben sound-universum angesiedelt is

after his cooperation with barbara tucker, peter luts teams up with belgian producer basto! to deliver a spanish flavoured house track that will make you long for summer time already! given the amazing feedback at midem on my own might well become the big summer tune of 2008...peter luts himself preps the track for every big room floor, while new one to watch jin sonic pimps it up to a dirty electrohouse slammer.

another impeccable production from the slyde boys, with driving beats, infections vocals, and outstanding remix by man of the moment twocker. the a side is breaks at its best. the bassline weaves its way through the sonic stack as posh seduces with her flirtatious lyrics. an outstanding remix comes courtesy of pete tong faves twocker, whose previous remix skills have run riot on cj bollands sugar is sweeter and morillos we like to move it. their genre crossing slyde remix hits all the house buttons, with a jumping jack intro and intense punchy bass lines which juxtapose perfectly with poshs vocals.

nice price deal !!! behold ear goodies from fjordfunk, with his hi quality sonic fishing fleet. the sounds of epic coldwater trawling can now be yours in the safety and comfort of your own adobe. the scampi disco scamp takes dancefloor analog melodic waves from the seas and oceans of tranquility, and then weaves the cosmogony of new record label, luna flicks, deftly and with the skill of loki himself into strangely solid beat nets to catch unwary listeners by the feet. with this, the first lunar orbit, we hear ovid 8 metamorphose into a post 9/11 poissonier. good lord, st. francis himself couldnt get the mackerel dancing so well (despite their lack of jiving feet)! an anthem for the pre apocalyse generation, spinning a woven path to dancefloor bliss and enlightenment. this is fjordfunk: hear him roar.

finest deep detroitish stuff. fan-addicts of carl craig, kirk degiorgio, icube, ame and other sonic audio architects will likely be praising this record for years to come

a new artist for the net28 roster, nate fisher is an incredible discovery, a young and talented artist coming from alaska, who has already released some wondeful tracks for max.ernst, thomas brinkmanns label. we are now honoured to feature 2 of his bombs in a new release for cmykmusik, this unpredictable tinto absoluto (cmyk017). mayhem is the work of a sonic terrorist: 7 minutes of pure rhythm, a dancefloor burner with a huge load of personality, originality and attitude

igor tchkotoua and dan duncan are true workaholics. not only are the two mallorquinos forming one of the most exciting techno duos of our time and play in the most famous clubs worldwide, they always make it to pop up in the studio to work on their releases on sonic society, wig records or like in the case of >deliverance<, the new 12inch on cocoon. >deliverance< starts quite cautious but the track becomes more and more complex – pig & dan give the dj a tool that fits the minimal raver like a custom-made suit. the b side is again one of those tracks that put a smile on your face. in >sly detector<, atmospheric techno sound unites with energetic celebration pleasure, just as we know it from tracks like >after ibiza< or >on to the beat<. the rolling hookline which has the necessary splash of acid is, together with the floating trance layer, adrenalising to such extent that nothing else remains to be done but to raise your hands in the air. the track was already a hit with many djs in 2007, and will be one – chosen in the right moment – on many dancefloors in 2008, too

one of the best justice tracks ever !! incl soulwax and boys noize mixes. on the a side, the whole phantom story is related, part 1 + part 2. on the b side, soulwax bring their trademark, a meticulous sonic exploration plus some extra sensory abuse thrown in for good measure to the head-swirling disco violins of phantom pt 2. peddling a noisy , pummeling and instantly likeable electro-house style, boys noize is responsible for this big out-and-out phantom vox mix!

limited backstock !!! brand new series on minus with exclusive tracks by plastikman, dubfire, jpls, heartthrob, gaiser and marc houle. of the continuing themes found throughout the music released on minus, one constant exploration is the relationship between sound and silence. within the stripped down but dimensional outcome there exists a polarity that is neither controlled nor accidental, where life imitates art in between the notes. the act of finding inspiration from a sonic molecule or the inaudible space around that element is the nature of expansion & contraction. limited edition double pack vinyl format features a specially embossed sleeve and black/white vinyl, reflecting the duality of the expansion & contraction concept.

advancing from the success of his well received acrobotics ep joel harrison continues to develop his take on techno infused deep house with his latest sonic offering: future revolutions ep. first up comes acid boom with effected tabla percussion leading the way into a tough acid bassline, an irresistable kick/hat combination and continues to build with deep driving chords. second comes technicalities, which moves into a more minimal soundscape with a bumping rubber band bassline and filtered chord stabs. clean production and a tight mix will make this a winner for deep house and techno headz alike.

mental disorder is owned and run by the spanish artist reeko and known for its uncompromising and typical spanish techno sounds. on the 8th release reeko presents the legendary pacou. the man needs no introdution, he simply belongs to the league of extraordinary artits due to cuts on music man, djax up, tresor, sonic mind, speaker attack and other hot labels

pure underground minimal techno sound

this three track instrumental project features the slick, cutting edge grooves of jive assing, as well as a gorgeous musical painting in the form of manzana de mi vida. showcasing glenn undergrounds signature sound & stylings, jive assing (main mix) is a flawless dancefloor groove, and is essentially a musical journey into the moody mind of cvo. surely to send dancefloor pundits into a frenzy, the dub version boasts a slightly tweaked sonic experience, with thicker percussive layers, a tougher kick and one bad ass bassline as only gu can deliver. the lush manzana de mi vida is a fine lesson in avant garde dance music, featuring some fine work (as usual) on keyboards, creating a melodious & profound atmosphere that will set your soul (and soles) on fire!

cool rockin techhouse funk 4 tracker !! for this 25th release we are very pleased to have keisuke kondo on board with his original approach of micro house genre mixing complexe structures with weird elements sometimes darker and deeper and in the sametime keeping a amazing funky side

jean f. cochois is the timewriter and arrived at the top ten years ago. since then he has developed and fine grinding his productions so that press, media and audiences agree on the fact that he is a master at his arts: spinning at the most famous venues all over the globe, holding a residency at sven väths cocoon club, remixes for mike oldfield, faithless, yello, boy george, rammstein and many more…everything done? he doesnt think so and presents his 5th album >soulstickers< which will be attached close to the listeners souls for sure because thats the place where they came into existence! straight from the introduction which is >resetting the clocks< the timewriter is creating intensive and emotional songs and takes you on a trip through his sonic world of pleasure

excellent funky house cover of shawn christopher

dub excursions in sähkö & pan sonic style

more madness by the lobby. >gutter poetry< is a further introduction into the lobbys perception of hip-hop. dry electric grooves combined with 8bit gimmickry supplied by chantal goret define the a-side. the b-side starts with the sampled sonic story of tasteless catfights and gratuitous violence. the lobby finishes through >the muddy way<, heavy bass from behind

jay west and christian mallloni have joined together to create a hybrid filter funk sound all of their own. the original reaks havoc on the dance floor creating serious synth sweeps and bass drops to keep this track versatile and improvisational throughout. the vocal sample quirky as it is rings in your head while the percussive rhythm and killer bassline dri this piece home. nightshift boss man hipp e steps up for the b side with a new style and brings down the house. extended peak time mix here with big synth rides, crispy rhythm and big kick. wicked breakdown riddled with bits from the original and ever expanding sonic modulation takes this cut to the limit

i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!

collaboration between mika vaino & ilpo vaisanen of pan sonic and alan vega from suicide with experimental and deep electro trax from 1998 on this mute sub-division..

funky sinister techhouse with a lot of detroit influnces from brooklyns most notorious sonic criminal, the adultnapper !! huge support from alexi delano

mit pan/sonic, grungerman & databrain bekommen wir gleich drei neu editierte klassiker ins vinyl geritzt, die sich auch auf optimo s mix cd befinden

big with john dahlbäck, zoo brazil, thomas schumacher, umek, john acquaviva the spanish-based production kings (cocoon, submission, sadie) and label-owners (sonic society) pig & dan, return to pickadoll with some truly balearic & beautiful techno tunes. the track 88 (make no mistake – this is true dance music!) is a hypnotic journey based upon slightly modulating old-school chords. the combination of rather well known >back in the day< aesthetics and the modern minimal feel make this a truly professional masterpiece. the b-side starts with a dark tekkno monster called >blobz<: arpeggios, stripped-down drumming, reverbs go to make up an unbelievably raw ecstasy music which then develops into a neo trance extravaganza with some highly impressive breakdowns! the last cut >robots< consists of video game sounds, sexy beats and some almost psychedelic guitar-like licks… after-hours madness guaranteed!

after the success of the much anticipated >silverbird casino<-compilation, diamonds and pearls are back with their 7th release. and with >i fight for mars< eat stepp into new sonic territory and unleash a full blown electro monster with haunting pads, pounding drums and an eerie cinematic feeling. this one will definetely turn some heads and send shivers down our spines. six tracks from lush ambient soundscapes to analog synth driven, italo inspired electro-funk. a massive sonic journey for all you starsearchers out there.

stuck in time is a personal statement on a particular time and of particular experiences in my life. the sounds codebase choses to use on this album point towards an alternate universe of where music may have gone instead of where it is now, fusing analog disco bass and electric piano sounds reminiscent of the 1970s with sampled electronic percussion sounds of today. this juxtaposition crystallizes the temporally frozen sonic landscape of the album a musical fossil from somewhere outside the linear progression of time

steve rachmad, has taken the global techno scene by storm both as a producer and as a much sought after remixer. his dj exploits is second to none. for many, he is considered a father of detroit techno in the netherlands, respected in the world of electronic music for his deep, groovy sounds that tend to rest on impressive strings, melodies, funk and soul.his first single from his forthcoming album >neo-classica< on sino exemplifies the efficient combination of sonic subtleties and frenetic nuances found in his productions. energy abound with an unwavering level of production quality, this single is yet to be another modern day dancefloor classic

nice price deal !!! long awaited self titled, full length album from land shark a.k.a. lance desardi on coco machete will shake up any preconceived notions held by fans of all dance, rock, electro and alternative sounds. the land shark project is an edgy departure from lances previous projects as an underground house music mainstay. still deeply rooted in dance rhythms land shark takes derailing hard left turns into the sonic realms of industrial, punk and electro. definitely for fans of dance rock crossover acts such as blackstrobe, soulwax, the rapture and dfa. an album that sounds like an album not a compilation of lumped together twelve inches

huge noisy & bleeping techno album, reminiscent to pan sonic or sähkö - tip!!!

remixed by the mighty zdar from the mighty mighty cassius! feel it feel it is tacteel s most violent track ever, and zdar s remix puts the iron fist into a velvet glove. he dials up a new sonic weather, with fresh guitar clouds and a new bass wind. all the elements are weighted with utmost care then layered onto the live bassline like it s nothing. but it s a lot. he makes it sound ibizaeasy, feet-in-the-water-easy, wind-in-the-palm-trees-easy. when house is that fluid it feels like dancing among friends, special secret steps only your friends really understand. a big one from the institube
