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

dj support from laurent garnier, sasha, dixon, claude vonstroke, ivan smagghe, nick warren, gregor tresher, jimpster, warren fellow, darko esser, jennifer cardini, secret cinema, tricksi, phil kieran, nuno dos santos, dave mothersole, dirt crew, vince watson, silicone soul, fish go deep, konrad black, dave ellesmere, alexander koning!! with influences that range from the bells of mike oldfield to the beats of jeff mills, the depths of james holden to the drive of josh wink, its yellow’s signature blend of hypnotic techno and deephouse that he is respected for.

second set of remixes for this genre straddling track, featuring the vocal talents of soul sensation in waiting, ben westbeech. marrying the kraakers future funk and hip hop beats with a sensational perfomance from the young bristolian made this track a sure bet as the first choice single although the band did release a couple of warm up eps to remind everyone why their debut album boogie angst was a worldwide success. here trevor loveys, mainstay of the dubsided label, originator of the fidget house sound alongside switch, sinden and jesse rose and partner of herve in the huge selling speakerjunk project, turns in a hot vocal remix that pumps the track towards a different dancefloor altogether. he also found time to serve up a tasty dub that neatly crosses the divide between bassline and techy fidget house. one for the festivals this summer no doubt!

incl argy remix !! tokyo s rising star ryo murakami has already put his diverse, electronic sound on the map with the >rise< ep on dessous last year, and received great praise for his track >my soul<, snapped up by steve bug for the fabric mix series, which was piled high with atmosphere and dark, club energy. his next 12 includes two new tracks, the title cut being >down the sky<, cooly influenced by old school house, but also more recent european forays into night music. ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats, joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. the b side, ‚coke‘ (no questions asked) welcomes another one of ryo‘s extended journeys, this time a stronger, peak time groove which never lets off, and builds around layers of spaced out, pitching fx. brain-tingling pitching synths heat things up, before laying down a super-funk hook that melts on top of the beats irresistibly. ryo then leads us head-first into a series of spac d out, jacked-up movements, characterised by risque, feminine vocal snippets. poker flat‘s young greek maestro, argy, creates a stunning hi-tech remix of ‚down the sky,‘ complete with mesmeric dub influenced chord stabs and tripped out washes of delay. once again carrying on the vibe of the original, but twisting it into an altogether different beast, argy takes ryo‘s warm synth stabs and shapes the remix into a slow paced yet pumping club tool.

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

the chart buster martin solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague lorenzo rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. so far away came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee. the guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine charme of todays house, turning so far away in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks. the performance of australian soul singer rachel claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals. definitely another epic stone in the b2f wall!

belgian artist ludwig buez who has worked a long time under the soul preachers nickname is really happy to introduce komplement recordings, his fresh new electro minimal label. for the first release & asked french duo ginos & snake to remix his original track. on the a side, you ll find the original hypnotik electro track called cirkus. dark psychotic synth & great killer break gives to this track all the power & the emotion needed for massive crowd reaction. the remix from ginos & snake is a perfect exemple of how good these 2 guys can work with their gears! they did a more progressive construction, added raw synths & worked the main melody through special effects!

freerange celebrates its 100th 12inch release with a double vinyl release (this is part 2) including brand new tracks from key artists including jimpster, only freak/spirit catcher and palm skin productions. jimpster starts proceedings with a brand new track entitled got a hold on your soul, an appropriate title for a track that ll draw in the dancefloor with its warm, shuffling beats, lush chords and bleepy fx. palm skin productions lose it beefs things up a bit for an edgy tech house track with plenty of funk. belgiums only freak return with mental overdrive (remixed here by their alter egos spirit catcher). they round things off in suitably driving fashion with a powerful, stripped back monster of a track. spirit catcher have been enjoying huge success with their releases as well as awesome live gigs around the world.

originally from columbus, ohio and now residing in new york city, myungho choi issues four new tracks on a touch of class. on these four dizzying tracks, choi again powers his stampeding funk grooves, ecstatic voices, and somersaulting rhodes melodies with classic soul bass lines. his stoked mix of soul, jazz, and house proves exhilarating in the steaming strutter lovin you today and high velocity disco anthem shakin bricks. less aerodynamic and earthier by comparison, the low slung party funk groove in how long till dawn would sound perfectly at home in a parliament funkadelic set, especially when voices chant shake and havin fun and horns blaze over a steaming stomp. the closer we aint leaving revisits the benson funk style of moment by moment by looping a guitar vocal fragment over a relentless minimal disco pulse. this ep. is without a doubt a true disco house infection and a definite one for the dance floor, which is not to be missed.

remember tullum combines slick guitar licks, rolling breakbeats and a warming bassline. flipping over and the equally as classy water goes for a stepping drum beat with light percussive touches and an effortless vocal that slides in and out of the mix while the bass notes soothe your soul as you dance your ass off. classic ac business.
