after the big success of our first release on outils du connaisseur, we present the second strike, this time by afrilounge-member liapin. basila is his the first solo release, and all the more an impressive one: two deep and slamming house-tunes, basic but concurrently fond of nitty-gritty. according our outils philosophy these two tracks are genuine strippeddown house cuts for maximum floor impact. basila – a massive, slapping bass, rolling drums and shreds of guitar sounds are the dominating trademarks of this track. once the compelling groove catches you, the hypnotizing vocal in the break will inevitably bewitch you. this is one for both body and soul. black mamba features a bassline so corporal, you almost inclined to give it a social security number.

nice price deal !!! shake & pops 3rd outing comes from those lovely north londoners candy apple. they ve accumulated releases on morehouse records, susu recordings, endulge records, ny soul and many more. featured vocals on this track we have the deep and sultry vocals of anjou, who has appeared on several candy apple releases. with a support cast including inland kinghts, rhythm plate and sumsuch, its another classic shake & pop release.

fresh from the success of his new album, ninja tuna, mr scruff dips his line back in the sea with the funktabulous get on down. taking a little chunk of 70s soul goodness (a prince phillip mitchell song, sung by johnny adams) and turning it into scruffy sashimi, this is undoubtedly one of the dancefloor stand outs of an album guaranteed to get any crowd bumping. hold on, on the other hand, features the smooooth vox of andreya triana, but nothing can stop scruff from dropping lashings of bass squelch - plus a little extra bangingness on the alternate version hold the dub. altogether uplifting, chest vibrating and all round marvellous, this is brit soul the way it should be done.

ziemlich kranke, psychedelische aber vor allem unterhaltsame 3 track ep mit genialer ausstrahlung und charisma die zeigt, dass oldschool auch modern sein kann. in den kisten/laptops von james holden, adam beyer, hot chip, ricardo villalobos, laurent garnier...

qalomota records is a house music label and a band founded in 1998 by producer thierry colau and dj chris thomas. artists rufuss and joyful noise have since joined the label, broadening the spectrum of an already large range of sonic colours. for the qm records crew and its audience, music is a physical and spiritual experience where the beat is the foundation, and the melody, food for the soul. would it be on remixes for the likes of chézéré, sabrina pope, house veterans frankie knuckles and marshall jefferson, or their own productions, from new-york city to paris, music is the key for qalomota records and will always be

beretta grey presents the second record by detroit duo >reference< a.k.a. luke hess & brian kage.. >reference vs. vol 1<, consists of collaboration with other key beretta grey artists ryan crosson and seth troxler. each song was carefully developed by all artists simultaneously. sessions were held at interstellar studios in detroit with all artists present. the initial musical concepts were recorded and written. next, the songs were sent back and forth until the finished product was agreed upon by all parties. in this fashion, the music created provides the character and soul of each artist, but fused together in a way that creates a more detailed account. one perspective alone does not capture the whole story. in this release, a feeling is captured by four artists, giving the listener a bigger picture, which helps to better capture the concepts of sound as it relates to a moment in time

unreleased disco soul from new orleans band, a side is a short but sweet single that pairs the soul disco styling of earth, wind, & fire with the cool crooning of bill withers. there must be an answer is somber ballad lamenting lost love. this dramatic track is characterized by its dark piano lines and is accentuated by post doo wop vocals reminiscent of the temptations.

tone control music continue the release pressure with their latest signing poussez vs. demarkus lewis with a superb new single titled passin thru featuring fantastic remixes from atjazz. teaming up with ace soulful vocalist, hannah khemoh (poettiquette, reel people) and dope keys player andy touch fingers (from jafar and touch of hustle music, artizan and more), passin thru is a killer slice of gorgeously deep dancefloor soul.

a brand new ep from the count & sinden, which showcases their love of all sorts of club music, from garage to r n b, from hip hop to grime. lead track hardcore girls is the sound of the much hyped baltimore breaks scene, evolved, displaced and mutated as only the count & sinden know how. fronted by the hottest thing out of b more since the wire, 17 year old wild child of the mike, rye rye. she has been touring the states with mia and, now signed to interscope, she is set to do big things. her unique and energetic vocal is treated to one of the duo’s best bumpy bass grooves and the combined effect is nothing short of devastating. another new school talent picked up on by the count & sinden is ny. bubbling on the uk underground, she fronts the hardcore, jungle inflected soul that is fool in love. this is pop music for the now and tomorrow, a classic love song set to a raucous jungle inspired backing track which has become a live favourite over the summer.finally we have jme, a legend in the grime scene, known for his tight flows, guest appearances and his boy better know franchise. industry gives an overview of the pit falls of getting involved in the trickiest of games... the music business. and who would want to get involved in that shit!?!

this is quite simply one of the most glorious records you will hear this year. it would be easy to lazily reference it against classic period rephlex/planet mu stuff (oops, i just did!), and indeed it appears to share some of the same heritage (even going so far as to feature a remix of rephlex artist global goon in its tracklisting) - but chris leary aka ochre is obviously a man on his own mission. gorgeously lush, but at the same time super-funky…as electronic as kraftwerk starring in a remake of tron, yet somehow as pastoral and organic as edward elgar…much like his label-mate ed chamberlain, leary manages that tricky task of being supremely technical in his programming and arrangements, but without losing the heart and soul of the music amidst all the studio trickery. you know that old chestnut often said when referring to vintage or classic music, >they dont make them like that any more<? well they do…and here it is! simply fantastic.

come enjoy some good lovin, modern soul fierce & rare, reworked & repolished with much love and care. back to back with a bomb from the latin funk days, calypso disco is the name, setting dancefloors ablaze. this twelve inch brings pleasure...

big with dubfire, onur Özer, loco dice, mandy, gregor tresher, karotte, magda, nick curly, steve lawler, raresh, martinez, solomun, johnny d., simon baker, sis, jesse rose,... cécille numbers presents with kreon one more young greek talent artist. what you get are three awesome hot and sexy groovy house tunes sassy soul vocals and shaking beats. this record shows perfect the soul and deepness of your set and let everybody smile and shake up to the morning hope you enjoy.

it is a task that detroit native aaron-carl has done consistently since 1996. as one of detroits most in-demand producers, his signature sound crosses genres -- from soulful, gospel-infused house, to the dirtiest ghettotech anthems. aaron-carl is hailed as a powerhouse in detroits electronic music scene. with a discography to die for, he has remixed some of the motor citys biggest names – underground resistance, scan 7, aux 88 & kelli hand, as well as international artists like chicago house legend dajae, icelandic techno stars gus gus, and african jazz great manu dibango, to name a few. as a vocalist, aaron-carl showcases a broad range. from the haunting chill of >crucified< and >sky< to the seductive whispers of >down< and >21 positions<, to soul-stirring shouts of >alright< and >my house< ac prides himself in not just making records, but classics. his >let me tell you something about house music< acapella (appropriately titled >the word<) is one of todays most sampled house vocals, while >down< is still a staple in the clubs – for more than a decade after its release.

great larry levan cut that mutates from gospel/soul tinged disco to dubbed out electric boogie. edit by slow to speak

shifting gears is a stand out track from headthrash. riddled with dj trickery the stanton warriors remix is already creating fever pitch amongst the djs lucky enough to have a copy. a fusion of funk riffs, urgent disco stabs and hip hop vocals driven by one of the warriors trademark basslines. heavy and epic, positive and optimistic. on the flipside rocket soul has the classic signature plump sound from start to finish. reminiscent of their hugely successful system addict and looking like it will rival in popularity. we have upfront copies in store now.

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year..

massive club rework!!

new label from jay tripwire that sees label boss behind the desk following the debut from matthew bandy. sublime grooves that work the head as much as the feet, this is deep and assured soul music for the 21st century. comes in 4 mixes, each one a subtle blend of drums and cool pads, very nice.

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

played by tim sweeney, only fools & horses, guillaume coutu dumont, sebo k, shit robot, mock & toof, fabrizio mammarella, toby tobias, willie graff dflex is the project from house music aficionado & x-press 2 member diesel & restless soul producer felix hopkins. both have been involved in electronic music long enough to understand the finer points of whats needed to create something of substance and with dflex they have formed a platform to explore their love of house music, techno & jazz. here we have their debut single, waltz, remixed by two very talented producers, switzerlands kawabata (a.k.a. lexx) & us producer dave aju. both offer outstanding offerings for those who like it deep..

here we offer two exclusive remixes preceding the djinji brown album release. sweat shop reworked by label mate and upcoming producer, boddhi satva brings africas tribal beats to the floor. swinging beats, electronic synths and pads saturate and transform into a hypnotic treatment. ancestral black gets blessed by mystery man afefe iku. taking djinjis creation to more dynamic and techno realms. with his signature stabs and heavy rhythms, this one demands you to move.

4th installment of barcelonas lactic records. this time with tracks by raul mezcolanza (adult) & peppelino (soul access, yinyang)! for fans of adult, pornographic and co
