one of ibizas top summer of 2007 songs, revered dennis ferrers >touched the sky< is served up three different ways here. managing to make its gospel house chorus sound almost scary yet distinctly house, joe claussells remixes defiantly add something new to this song. multi-layered and complex, the song rewards listeners with finding something new about the track every time its spun on the dance floor. and the deep, diva style vocals from mia tuttavilla are warped in >joes dub beats< into static-y notes that fit perfectly inside the hidden pockets of this remix. this is perfect music for after-hours. and in the same vein, >yass dubstrumental< adds another layer of something fresh andstraight out of left field on this massive hit from ferrer

cloud 9 dance will relaunch combined forces legendary clubhouse label walnut records with an impressive first release from producers duo h.i.p. since their commercial adventure with dj alpha life goes on, they finally started a new project with a slammin first release that has written anthem all over it. opposites is a fresh mix between clubhouse and electro which doesnt sound like all those other d. ramirez copycats. with a 3/4 beat, its got the same vibe like t.raumschmieres monster truck driver & hypetraxxs the darkside. the galloping beats together withthe deep & dark vocal makes this track an absolute winner.

after several works on sound division, southern fried and remixes for some of the most popular producers worldwide such as david guetta, bob sinclair or erick morillo he presents his first ep on our own imprint with this massive 4 happy people ep. his original mix is all about bass. distorted, mean and loud and actually a pleasure to use for kicking serious ass. the tea mix is more driving and fluently building up with steady percussions and filterings on the bassline while the alex delia remix focusses on minimal aspects and fragments perfectly twisting the tune for the likes of any underground set

lush 7 follow! constructed around a strutting bassline the claps, castanets, rise & cymbal lines interact to great effect. like a fine wine, k drive & ginman give the track time to breathe before slowly turning the screw. increasing the tension and expanding the room in a wash of metallic reverb! simplicity is the key as each sound cuts like a warm knife through the butter. reactions are huge on both killer tracks so have it large!

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

compared to their almost simultaneously released 12 ep >innocent robot< / >night of tvarok< (treibstoff 73), animaltek celebrate a more reduced interaction of rhythmic signals and systems on >karma loops<. animaltek describe this sensation as >a powerful effort of self-expression through rhythm, sound and harmony.<

versatile are delighted with this new addition to their catalogue. a release made in belgium by detroit techno prodigy: fabrice lig. as you will notice on this new ep, the first white guys to have signed a record on kevin saundersons legendary label kms, remains faithful to the sound of motor city. a light and esoteric melody sets the tone of >x-slaves who changed the world<. the tight clap and kick drum leave room for the modulating bass. a voice similar to martin luther kings, repeats names of cities in which slavery prevailed, whilst pads stimulate the mental trip. the x slave is taken by the dancefloor, changing the world as he dances to the beat. “funk la termite” is elastic funk. binary rhythms, off-beat chords which keep the groove balanced whilst the hi-hats, like little insects, dig away at the beat, building it and deconstructing it as the sounds evolve. >the round of funky bugs< continues in the vein of creepy crawlies. here, the synths are more upfront, their acidic layering create a mixture of harmonic loops which will set all hells lose. the melodies and use of pads stay anchored in the detroit tradition, but this production fits just as well with all the current electro releases worthy of any good dancefloor

this three track instrumental project features the slick, cutting edge grooves of jive assing, as well as a gorgeous musical painting in the form of manzana de mi vida. showcasing glenn undergrounds signature sound & stylings, jive assing (main mix) is a flawless dancefloor groove, and is essentially a musical journey into the moody mind of cvo. surely to send dancefloor pundits into a frenzy, the dub version boasts a slightly tweaked sonic experience, with thicker percussive layers, a tougher kick and one bad ass bassline as only gu can deliver. the lush manzana de mi vida is a fine lesson in avant garde dance music, featuring some fine work (as usual) on keyboards, creating a melodious & profound atmosphere that will set your soul (and soles) on fire!

splittr is the meeting of minds of martijn ten velden and mark yardley (from stanton warriors fame), two of modern dance musics biggest production heavyweights. as splittr, mark and martijn combine their collective skills and tastes to produce a dance/rock hybrid (new order infected guitar part) and a very fresh take on electronic music. in fact they started the project to give them the opportunity to split awayfrom any preconceptions people may have of them and any musical restrictions dance music genres can create. their first release, >all alone< (which sees mark take on vocal duties), has already created an underground buzz, with pete tong playing it on almost a weekly basis from the start of the year, regular spot plays on radio1 and major support coming from the likes of roger sanchez and deep dish. splittr are clearly set to take their sound worldwide
