anyone who ever has listened to a live performance or a record of illeist collective knows of the difficulty to describe the sound they come up with. some say its big beat, some say its rock, electro or dance music. and as always, the truth is somewhere in between, somewhere along the lines of bands such as soulwax, digitalism or friendly fire. and the best way to find out is to listen to their energy-loaded, genre transcending and - most importantly - uncompromising music.

merseyside producer whos hybridized sound the fader describes as mix of sparkling uk funky & 21st century garage, w/scraps of other kicky dancefloor styles like dubstep & bassline bleeding through. he started djing and producing when he was 13 years old and 2010 is sure to see him come into his own. from being picked as toddla ts one to watch for 2010 on radio 1, to being signed for an ep on sindens new imprint grizzly, to being charted by globetrotters like brodinski and being tapped to remix new young pony club and the count & sinden, everything is in place for his meteoric rise. remixes by nadastrom (dubsided), & french fries (young guns).

after 4 years of putting out various hit releases via thema, the mother ship, its first sub-label or satellite has come to be. we are proud to announce spacial! it will consist of various remix projects, outtakes and b-sides from the parent and digital labels this new realm will function as a showcase for some of the more esoteric creations from our ever expanding roster of artists. so for our first slab of black magic, we have lad from switzerland which is remixed by none other then mr. quenum for a peak time killah remake. to keep it deep we have monotron, a new comer from holland dropping a sensual builder that lacks no luster to muster you on the floor. on the flip side we gave the whole side to a remix by the man from the hills, mr. ernesto ferrerya remixing beaner of bar25. this monster takes us on some ill trippy ride into his private lil world of bass and organs. we feel this grouping is a nice crop of tracks to start off a new adventure, its all part of the bigger concept of developing a sound—a movement—an idea. remember though, this is only the beginning!

with juno records hitting its tenth release we revisit yet another classic from the archives of electronic music royalty. producer, label boss, dj & remixer extraordinaire, charles webster will need no introduction to house music lovers, and its his 1998 collaboration with renowned uk vocalist shara nelson which gets a 2010 touch up. orignally out on the seminal label pagan, >sense of danger< was a true deep house anthem back then and stuttgarts most famous son, motor city drum ensemble steps up with two contrasting but equally excellent remixes. the >other thing dub< revisits the raw cuts sound that mcde is famous for - nelsons vocal expertly chopped up over organic piano grooves and a chugging beat. the second vocal mix stays truer to the tough beats and metallic synths of websters original, a real chicago feel provided by the ebullient hats and dubby bass line.

>united by hardness<, supreme collaboration between the stunned guys & art of fighters, official 2010 anthem of the wellknown united hardcore forces party, is finally out now on a wonderful picture disc.

run by annie & sex tags !! finally it’s here! the new long awaited 12 inch from the talented norwegian producer skatebård. these two tracks were originally meant to be released last year, but due to different reasons they never made it to the press, and almost disappeared into darkness. totally and sex tags ufo got hold of them, and now they are here for you to enjoy! way out-why not? are two beautiful and melodic tracks, one with a massive percussive breakdown, and both with skatebårds original and unique italo sound. this is the summer anthem record of 2010, no doubt!! skatebård has previously released on labels such as tellektro, keys of life, supersoul recordings, sex tags mania and radius, in addition to his own label digitalo enterprises. totally is a label formerly based in finland, founded in 2002 by annie and timo kaukolampi (op:l bastards). now it is based in norway, and operated by annie herself. with the label annie releases her own material like the recent album dont stop, and various other artists as well

side a) soft house company – what you need… the most perfect italian piano house tune ever. this record oozes sophistication and perfection in its beautiful construction. as compared to some of the italian piano screamers of the past that have dated quite badly, this continues to live on as a classic emotive piece of house music. a perfect end of the night anthem! a little piano on the flip was regularely dropped at the classic hacienda in manchester circa 1990, huge piano anthem. junior vasquez used to mix 2 copies of this track at the legendary sound factory club in nyc! simple but effective bass with italian piano….. house!

doppelschall is back with its 2nd vinyl instalment. and its clear what the label is aiming for... high quality modern electronic dance music with a warm soulful edge. jazzy injected mordern house tracks from mr bozeman is what they present after the more then excellent release of dollkraut. hypnotic and pulsating house with a dusty sample aesthetic that ads a warm flavor that makes this sound like a record that one knows like its own pocket. brandt brauer and frick committed to do the remix and come up with a brilliant jazzy work out of the title track. needs no recommendation!

hot on the heels of sync 24s >we rock non-stop< ep cultivated electronics continues into 2010 with its second release for the year. ce006 sees miami meeting london via cuba, with interdimensional transmissions alpha 606 and cultivated label head sync 24 teaming up for their first full release. these two bubbly analogue electro jams follow up their 2009 debut on the touchin bass complilation >geometry<. the a sides >lunar passport< is a minimal, linear affair with stripped down 606 beats, rolling subs, clicky bass and a spooky lead line finished off with spacious pads. the flip sides >forest communication< leans more to the funky side with deep 808 kick drums, quirky sound effects and wet wobbly bass lines. watch out for various realeses from sync 24 this year on cultivated electronics including remixes from scape one, ed chamberlain and plant 43. as well as alpha 606s first long player on interdimensional transmissions scheduled for later in the year.

nemanja nikolic was born in belgrade, serbia. a couple of years ago, he decided to move to sydney for the purpose of audio production studies. rejection and a new world are nemanjas vision of dub techno, evolving pads, reverbs, space and delays. highway of thoughts and the voice of my youth are an attempt of experimental, darker, minimal tracks with lots of sfx, samples from the real world and live instruments. delta funktionen (ann aimee, delsin) appears for the first time on dpress and delivers a top remix of >a new world< that finds its place near the solid techno sound of sandwell district, etiku, ostgut ton.

man/machine: viennas elektro guzzi challenge the meaning of live in electronic music. bored of laptop sets? with a classic setup of guitar, bass and drums elektro guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. no computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. probably the first time techno is really played live. as sequential as they may sound, they couldnt be more analogue. but however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. the quest for the ultimate live presentation of techno has come to an end.

big with mihalis safras, piemont, afrilounge, phonique, someone else, anthony collins, stephan bodzin!! slim, sporty and very casual- thats the way in which current number 18 on acker records sneaks into listeners ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in europe. other than the name justin side implies, its even two dudes from denmark who conjure up this unusual voodoo. bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. beside the original mix, the groove of the a-side includes a minimal club mix by mister mollono.bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. on the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his summer mix. last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local mecklenburg version of a mighty voodoo magic.
