a new member to the 4lux family the talented alex agore! his productions are drenched with pumping beats, catchy riffs and funky deep grooves. to give some quick references we could say that alexs 1st twelve for 4lux is reminiscent of some of moodymann and theo parrish tunes fused with some dj sneaks uplifting spirits. 4 tracks with the syncopated collage of quiet jingling, subtle handclaps, keyboard melodies, and soul-drenched vocal samples and phat phat basslines! this will sell out even faster then the previous kez ym release on 4lux. you missed that one? don t sleep on this! essential house record.

besides the sublime original version, the >bloodstream ep< also features three exclusive new mixes, each teasing out the songs grace and power in vivid and unexpected ways. the berlin-based producer and remixer henrik schwarz, one of germanys most respected djs, brings his trademark love of jazz and deep house to two separate versions.
schwarz s club mix re-engineers the track as a sleek dance tune, speeding up chris vocal into a restless, nervy, emotionally naked torch song. his dub version, meanwhile, builds into a hypnotic instrumental collage of bubbling beats, twinkling pianos and elastic basslines. at over seven minutes long, not a second is wasted.
by contrast, the chic parisian re-edit maestro pilooski strips the track down into a cubist collage of rhythmic throbs and sparkles, with a staccato piano melody pulsing through it like a heartbeat. it s a playful and vibrant fusion, where soul-baring yorkshire poetry meets sleek french disco chic.

this release is a very special one for us… indeed, roskow kretschmann has been for years one of the music makers that surprised us constantly and teased our appetite, displaying his rich musical background inside of projects like jazzanova, kosma or sygaire. the tracks selected by dairmount (after hours hanging out in roskows sound lab over the years) are genuinely outstanding in his entire discography. they sound like no others and reveal rare aspects of his >musical persona<. this is why they are representing perfectly our quest for >hybrid club music< crossing the lines of the original spirit of house & techno. the ep opens with the futuristic techno soul of the time is now. perfectly named, the tune fuses with class, dusty jazz samples, obscure soul vocals, juicy claps and overwhelming detroit techno keys. the result is a timeless club monster for the deepest moments. the second track that blasted us is mono:poly rightly shaped for audacious djs that enjoy to play >special< things. the track is supported by a solid programming as fellow beatmakers like mark pritchard, recloose or kenny dope originated in the 90s, mixed with biting analogue pressure, crazy batucada elements & a magic breakdown for all the lucky ones that will play it in the sunrise this summer. and last but not least, one of the label mavericks, marlow created a hell of a remix by delivering a 10 minutes techno epic that would make our detroit godfather c2 blush of satisfaction. thanks to all of them for the fantastic music

after a little winter hiatus, the selfmade millionaire returns offering two fresh treats of escapism in these hard times of recession and depression: rockin & poppin tells the simple story of a surprise-party at 2am over at mr. bs where our protagonist is overwhelmed by the extreme density of funky music and ladies. so he gets down right away to rock it, pop it and break it on down, end of story. a rare and honest piece of music for both the breaker and the modern soul affectionado! heading for depression on the other hand reminds us of the dire situation our economy is in, while it encourages to keep the boogie going anyway even though lifes getting rougher and tougher day by day. equipped with a groove so heavy its got a moon in orbit, this serious choon will cause blissful oblivion on any dancefloor.

what a manifest for deep house no bonds to minimal, no rave anthem, no disco revival. just tidy tunes, where the soul is always immanent. in this respect, a track such as we never grow up is a subtle misunderstandingn, because subsky, he is already. all three tunes use elements of dubknowledge. the delays and synths are more expansive than usual. especially æspacey sense is craving for open-airs and sunsets. support from osunlade, scope, dj yellow, spiritchaser, tim white, sammy rock, henri kohn, santorini, dean serafini & more!

great dubby and spacin detroit trax

first extract of his forthcoming album alone, words in a bottle sits right where we like to sit: at the border between house and techno. it s got the funk, the rhythm, the tribal beats and bassline that make you move. and its got the techno soul too. it s got the devil inside, but still feeds your mind with atmospheric waves of deepness. on the flipside, rodriguez jr., one half of french techno celebrities the youngsters, delivers the kind of remix you usually dream of but are never sure you re gonna get. it s a funky dark techno affair, with a killer hook.

a killer clubby groove from steve marshall û the kind that reminds us of the best indie singles from the late 70s disco years! steve plays alto sax here over a strutting, high stepping rhythm thats got plenty of warm touches û really glowing with a sense of soul thats great, and touched by some female chorus vocals that are very much in a philly mode! the disco mix is great û even more upbeat and extended than the 45 groove. in the country is a great bit of club jazz û smooth and sweet, but still with a snakey flute line in the middle û almost like some lost bobbi humphrey track from her epic years. do what you will is another chorus vocal number û and you are the world features some laidback mellow flute.

john talabot is a youngster from barcelona with a rather special way of approaching music. borrowing his schools name for his alias and the most diverse samples for his music, he produces expansive and iconoclastic housey tracks. his influences range from flamenco to northern soul, from african music to traditional asian songs and he s inspiration sources go from the profound and sensual house of moodyman and labels such as sound signature or kdj to disco music, chicago house, pop or techno, whatever he likes. sounds like a bass kick and a sampler, he says us in his myspace, no less. this young producer and tireless musical tracker has the ability not just to find the appropriate samples but also to conjugate them wisely. in a great exercise of sonic inventiveness, guitars, strings and keyboards are combined in his tracks with rhythms and vocals with african reminiscences, to give us his own vision of house music, original and personal, but yet very effective. cliche allergic, songs like naomi, korlee or afrika sound cosmic and tremendously emotional without losing sight of the dance floor (thats what we call fat beats). his tracks are organic, human, full of life, the kind of music that keeps not only your foot moving but also your heart tingling.
