j alexanders emotive detroit techno influenced journey continues with this timeless track. his arrangement, musicality and attention to detail is incredibly rare in modern techno and almost elevates >directions< to a soundtrack of the genre. if that wasnt enough another musical hero of ours, vince watson provides even more detroit flavors with a sublime remix. with these two british producers on fire at the moment >directions< is a single that demands attention.

excellent detroit house infused deep house... moody stuff

ever since the visionary 2010 debut >without you<, art department have been shaking the music community to the molten core with their psychedelic, bass driven unique take on electronic music. crosstown rebels now presents one of the most lauded tracks from their recent opus >the drawing board<, heralded by many as album of the year, with exemplary remixes from caribous daphni and the legendary dj harvey. >we call love< feat. soul clap & osunlade is a deviant classic for the futuristic age.

just in time for the beginning of a vivacious summer, foliage records are ecstatic to present the long awaited full package of the already globally revered and anticipated summer breeze. the remixes from raw artistic soul encapsulated the euphoria of summer within south africa. undeniably bold yet gently assertive, summer breeze was a phenomenon, an unquestionable statement of the nations love for pure and deep house, a statement which foliage records joyfully respond to with the full release of summer breeze.

somethinksounds put their name on the map last year with eliphinos wildly successful debut release >the undivided whole< ep. this year the label is back with their second 12inch, >the slow ground< by newcomer, lucky paul. this release is part one of an impressive aural package and comes complete with three remixes, most notably a worldwide exclusive first from g$ vs gold, gadi mizrahi of wolf & lamb and eli gold of soul clap, respectively.

for all the wonderfully subtle shell-breaking he did on his full-length, mark e falls back on old, slow habits for his new single, >the day<. and welcomely, we might add. pitching things down to a basement lounge floor crawl, the midlands dj/producer wraps his always chugging kicks and snares in serpentine synth-bass, jazzy, tripleted hi-hats, and moaning, wordless soul vocals. its grasp is tantric—hinting coyly at ecstatic release, but never fully delivering. for the vinyl junkies that bought stone breaker and missed out on it the first time around (it was absent from that version), this release should be a no brainer. but >the day< isnt carrying all the weight here. a new track called >special fx< will have sample hounds—particularly those with a thing for classic electro-pop—salivating. and the oft imitated, never replicated prins thomas shows up on the flip for a (naturally) eleven- minute revamp of >the day<, livening up the bass and drum patterns, adding in strings, piano, guitar, organ, and ending up with something that totally could have emanated from a camaro at some point in the early seventies. (albeit, one owned by someone with interest in eleven-minute instrumentals.) it even has a fade out!

the unique partnership is the brainchild of local dance music aficionado dj vidis. he teamed up with top lithuanian producer mario basanov in 2007 to form the most influential local production combo and to deliver what could be the freshest sounding and truly adventurous house music in lithuania and around. vidis and marios first vocal track and video >i ll be gone< featuring young but much promising lithuanian singer and songwriter jazzu became national phenomena on its own right. hitting number one in radio charts, not leaving mtv baltic top 20 for half a year, and becoming the most blogged and youtubed lithuanian music video ever says it all. and the single featuring british songstress kathy diamond as well as vaguely provoking black and white video cemented their reputation as local institution and the purveyors of top quality deep sounds. with duos debut album released december 2010 on their own silence music to big commercial success as well as a few singles being lined-up for early 2011 on top notch international labels like japanese endless flight, australian future classic, german best works, and british crosstwonrebels also remix work commissioned from soul clap, john talabot, andre lodemann, marcus worgull, and softwar the future looks bright and bold.

nice price deal !!! following on from her acclaimed debut last year on jansen jardin, yuki suzuki and producer, max essa, return with another slab of far east magic entitled >we don?t have much time<. combining yukis sultry vocal with a very muscular, bass heavy groove, the track comes across like some pitched down (way down!) early 90s nyc garage classic. big, rolling drums push the track along while some glorious strings and piano make sure, as usual, jansen jardin have something for your mind, your body and your soul. on the flipside neville watson delivers one of his finest productions to date. pushing the tempo up and dubbing things out he provides a brilliant reworking which is already causing a fuss from tokyo to berlin. moody, emotional dance music for late nights and early mornings. one limited pressing - as before - first come, first served
