2011 has seen a string of stellar releases from the dynamic force giving house music a new accessible heartbeat, mario & vidis. now, ahead of their album set for release in january, the >changed sampler< lands featuring a dub version of future classic anthem >changed< and three additional choice cuts. an apt advocate to the new age slow house sound they are making their own, mario & vidis will fully unveil their masterful debut album >changed< this coming winter but here lies a taste of both proceeding discs. a prelude to the wide musical terrain these lithuanian scene pioneers are striding through, the album sampler captures a glimpse of the epic soundscapes, hypnotic pop melodies and ghostly soul that ultimately leads into raw house on disc two.

in the psychedelic late sixties there was a lively music scene in the canterbury area that revolved around the band the wilde flowers. they never recorded much themselves, however, but after they disbanded other influential bands were formed from their ashes: gong, soft machine, and, most importantly, caravan.
caravans eponymous debut was released in 1968. it was considered a groundbreaking album capturing the freakish and exploratory moods of the times. their sound went much further than the changing styles of the contemporary underground and that is what distinguished caravan from other bands in their genre.

wave turned out to be the last album the patti smith group would record, as it was also last album smith would record before a nine year hiatus. the godmother of punk decided to focus on her family life and moved to michigan, but not before leaving us with gems like the sexually mysterious >dancing barefoot< (dedicated to her husband to be fred sonic smith) and her amazing, biting version of >so you want to be (a rock n roll star)<. produced by todd rundgren, this is her most pop-oriented album, and many at the time could not appreciate her more accessible sound. nevertheless, wave, her spoken word tribute to pope john paul i (who reigned for only 33 days) is as touching and harrowing now as when it came out in 1979. available on vinyl for the first time since its original release!

music is about passion, not competition. in this spirit the something vinyl series continues again with another stl record in his diy do-what-you-wanna-do style, including 3 house tracks aswell as a astro-science thrilling farspace interlude and loop introductions. the ascetic elements on this ep are the result of an isolated one man musical universe, where the love and passion for sound research is perhaps the strongest driving force behind the machines output. a bit of squelchy mircowave-acid, some sunny analog sequences and someting that seems to come out of a lovely b-movie track, where humanoids moving death proof onto the dancefloor feeling addicted to the groove. something 18 is probably that kind of vinyl which can be enjoyed the most when the time has come to loose yourself and let things flow into the positive. this 12 inch comes in limited quantities of 500 copies and is dedicated to all believers of the something vibe.

lb003 arrives courtesy of bristol born, brighton based producer sam kidel, aka el kid. following up his well received debut on immerse sam drops 3 tracks of wildly varied bass music. beginning with the title track >hypnosis<, lush ambient pads and plucked guitar soon give way to fearsome bass swells and metronomic percussion, coming across like early autechre remixed by floating points. second track >mud< drops the pace for a noisy house workout, reminiscent of fellow bristolians kowton, and labelmate vessel. >kachinja< on the flip is the straightest - and darkest - of the lot, a lurching warehouse techno cut that wouldnt sound out of place on ostgut ton. finally hyperdub wunderkid walton contributes a rough & ready funky dub of >hypnosis< to round out the ep.

as 2011 unfolds, ld very much retains his own sound drawing from his roots: drum pan sounds of jamaica resonating throughout, flashes of soca drums, subtle tribal nuances, and the ghost of jungle reverberating in the warm, pulsating sub bass. it seems now is very much the time for ld to make the transition from behind the scenes and into the limelight.

spezial price!!! the creative hub of taron-trekka, as well as dj team and beat crafter furnishes an individual experience of togetherness, a complete understanding on a deeper level. they have this primal groove, around which everything rotates, internalized. they carry this groove with their own signature out into the world. this raw groove diamond is constantly sharpened without being completely polished on all facets. on the new fat release they stand for an electric-infected development, that allows only the solution to seep in: deep-in-the-peak! thereby the kraken clutches fiercely to the coral reefs of the soul. their vision of a living sound can thereby sometimes morph precipitously into a technoid, housy, fine-spirited sort and then at once jazzy. the required resolve as it pertains to the dance floor is hardly missed from taron-trekka. the desire-principle and body language mimic are most definitely functional. the big bang doesnt explode in the space, but rather in the heart. as a special treat, the fellas adorn the cover of their 12-inch from the illustrator, designer and photographer tine drefahl (http://www. tinedrefahl.com). thus is presented from freude am tanzen a worthy conclusion to a sometimes turbulent jubilee year, a complete package of artistic expression in tone and picture that is at home both on the mantel as well as the turntables.

the second part of the >diorama< remixes offers again some of the finest producers around.
starting with kollektiv turmstrasse! what kicks off as a chez damier groove makes the transition into a loose dub monster. collecting traces of the original sound and dispersing them with magic movements we see why kollektiv turmstrasse are a top act. shifting the attention from the front to the far back from the obvious to the abstract... turmstrasse create that parallel groove on top of the groove which seems to tighten up with every minute. fine particles of sounds are sprayed onto the relentless groove and make it a real crowd pleaser.

this is mina records 9th release with masaya, label boss, finally in the spotlight on production, arrangement and singing duties. her first ep on her own label: >again / get you< both have a minimalist melancholy feel in the electro pop vein.
>again< is remixed by nhar, (frenchman who has just brought out his own ep on ripertons perspectiv label), giving it an 80s soft synth pop sound.
>get you< is remixed by yapacc, resulting in a deeply rhythmic tech-house stomper.

vae victis records kicks off his records catalogue with a 4 tracks ep where raw house and techno get mixed up thru machines and then recorded on tape. the project, a 6 hands affaire, sees teaming up three of the most interesting artists of the moment: the analogue cops, duo already known for their imprint restoration records and for their moodymanns remix under the appointment moniker and blawan, the uk producer who saw his debuts released last year by imprints such as hessle audio, warp, r&s and soon on clone who represents, alongside fellows james blake, pearson sound a.k.a ramadanman and joy orbison, the young breed of talentented new uk producers. promising start for this new label!!

william anthony bois was born in stockholm, sweden, in 1991. he expressed an early interest in music, especially electronic music. whilst william demonstrated a natural tallent for piano composition from an early age, in 2003 he began channeling his creativity into house music after a friend introduced him to fruity loops. early street dancing lessons introduced him to funk which has been a source of inspiration ever since the age of nine. he continued the dancing with the dance group funky 4 brothers and has performed around europe and sweden. william also studied music production and sound engineering at sixth form college. this background has given him a firm foundation from which to express his music through a variety of rhythms and tone that give his music an individual flavour.

drei titel führen uns in die tiefen der dancefloor-katakomben und entzünden dort ein wahres sound- und beat-feuerwerk. auf tonale elemente hat chloé bewusst verzichtet, melodien - fehlanzeige. einzig the shift geht es noch etwas ruhiger an, während die elektro-epen chatterbox und watch out ebenso funktional wie virtuos von knalligen beats und thrillenden klangfragmenten bestimmt werden. clubmusic par excellence!

over two years ago already, we were announcing andres zaccos first ep on airdrop. the >seated hopping ep< had been sent to us by andres best friend, none other than el senor franco cinelli. needless to say, we fell in love with the subtlety of his music. fast forward until today and be prepared to be blown away by how much zaccos musical refinement has developed. swayzaks brun listened to the first sketches of this ep and immediately decided to give a go to the main track. the result is a conceptual treatment that reflects the advanced maturity of the swayzak sound, deep inspiration to most, if not all.

after few months of research the rks duo is now ready for a new sound experience.
back in the day is the way and the house funky producers based in berlin are trying to do it compromiseless. >sunny moments< is a complete deep house raw track, the sweet voice that comes from the past works in a loveliness drum machine game with a synth that runs like the detroit school teaches!

>and i heard a strange deep sound. as i got closer to that particular place, the music took a more stable form…i thought i already knew this sound from somewhere<… welcome to the musical world of exciting new amsterdam based producer simon weiss. coming over all early theo and moodymann-esqe, he clearly demonstrates a passion for all things detroit in terms of mood, melody, rhythm and texture. half bouncing feet, sweaty walls and concrete floors, half sophisticated, futuristic movie soundtrack score …simon weiss fits the description of a home taper absolutely perfectly. dance to it, close your eyes to it, but whatever you do listen to it. 100% house music with bits. play it all night long!!

released in 1996, this is the first full-length album norman cook was to release under his successful moniker fatboy slim. fuelled by his signature big beats that would come to dominate the 90s dance scene, sprinkled with acid house bleeps and squeaks and heavily sample-laced, >better living through chemistry< proved to be just the tip of cooks proverbial iceberg.

following their last 12 inch from nightwave, svetlana industries remain in their eastern european heartland with a long awaited ep from 1000names, the bulgarian production duo who made their debut alongside rustie on the now legendary >beatnicks< ep back in 2007. the >machine city< ep follows 2010s album and ep for black acre, as well as mixing for mary anne hobbs on radio 1 and recommendations in pitchfork. the ep marks a development from 1000names, taking giant steps on from their base in the beats scene towards a new sound, taking influence from giorgio moroder and analogue synth disco to imagine a future both optimistic and dystopian. it is like john carpenter meets hip hop and it is as good as that sounds.

played by reboot, joris voorn, martinez, christian prommer, lee curtiss, sis, ... ever wondered what a butch diana ross on acid might sound like…? well youre about to find out… but before we get to overside, youve gotta enjoy and marvel at the sheer brilliance of the rest of jairo catelos latest offering on silicone souls darkroom dubs. our man from the asturias has rapidly built a strong and loyal following thanks to his beautifully crafted house cuts. jairos ability to bring together dubby textures and an innate soul within his productions is most enviable. his warehouse ep features three original new cuts backed by a rework from french house guru, phil weeks. lead cut soul school is something of a two-headed beast. whilst its kick-drum and dramatic synth stabs drive it with a serious dose of funk, it still retains a warm-summer soul that will keep the fillies moving. then, as a little sax break goes to our head, were flipped and the beats and bass get sleazy and old school. killer! mr. weeks beings some 90s flow to the table on his remix. working the guitar licks and bassline hard but always retaining a smooth as silk groove, phil shows just how to keep the dancefloor cookin. a beautiful house record from one of the very best. >yairos 303 acid< mix of overside finds us getting upside down and inside out. serious funk with an injection of some classic acid styles. final cut >the shake< sees jairo roll out drums. a lazy bassline is swarmed by ripping snares and a host of percussive sites and sounds. a perfect close to a pretty much perfect ep.

lonesome hero is the anonymous, vinyl-only project spawned from a love of technos vinyl purism by a collective of artists growing tired of technos current cult of celebrity. visit lonesomehero.net to read up on the lh philosophy. lonesome heros 3rd iteration introduces an entirely new artist project: campaign of love. col is the brainchild of an artist collective comprised of individuals perhaps atypical in modern dance music: a guitar-playing tattooist, a pianist cop, one, legendary mid-90s house producer, and a handful of analogue-minded individuals… with the mission of ignoring hype, col has chosen instead to focus on the joys of experimenting with sound in a room full of friends and analog hardware.

continuing the exploration of bristol 4/4 variants, immerse proudly offers forth this decisive two-tracker from the prodigious mind of jacob martin, better know as hodge. you might be more familiar with hodge from his work as part of outboxx, who we proudly debuted on ime025. that said, he first surfaced last year with the deadly conjecture on another fine bristol institution, pollen. one thing rings true in any of the output hodge is associated with, melody. shirking the safety of sterile mechanics that so many producers hide behind, he tackles interplaying notes and harmonies with a fearless exuberance. opening track the fall kicks off on a jerky groove and ice-cold organ murmurs, gently easing in layers and clips of sound with the same joie de vivre as akufen and other micro-house progenitors. ‘crush’ kicks off on a more decidedly broken tip, keeping the twostep shuffle slow and easy as whispers of garage skip in between the warm pads. the overriding vibe on hodge’s ep is one of unpretentious, good times tunage.

following a landmark ep by pacou, and after mike huckaby paid homage to tresor records steeped lineage with his vault-dipping 20th anniversary mix, sights are set squarely on the future with the labels next release from fresh techno outfit puresque.
puresque is paul brtschitsch and mocca—paul whose discography stretches back to the mid-90s and is widely regarded for his sensitive sound arrangements both on record and live, and mocca—real name michael kunz- who has been simmering his sonic pallet on the berlin circuit over the last few years. they met over a mutual love of vinyl and entered the studio together with the desire to create something raw, as removed as possible from the synthetic feel of purely digital production.

these have had support from n-type, walsh, hatcha, and mistajam to name but a few.

pole recordings reaches its number 10 release, a work by oscar mulero. for this record, oscar has chosen to go for a more mental and elaborate kind of techno, lowering the bpms and softening his sound.

first available (full stock) on decks.de !! turkey based ugur project is back with an outing on polluted records. following his success in music production and remixes he is pushing us through the house music boundaries, with four new original titles on esta si esta imprint. the sound choice on the track esta si esta follows through a nostalgic old skool house as it magically transforms into todays deep and chunky style. drop down house bliss, which will be later followed by a remix on digital by sossa, always on polluted records. the use of techno drum kit on the track magic drops fused with vocal snippets and synthesized voice over conversations is a journey into the future sound of tech house whilst on the track quadriga the rolling congas and base line are impeccable as a groove. the last track sudden music does just that, as suddenly a solid grove and synth pads becomes the explosion that rocks the body of all house music junkies.

83370 is the first transmission from ollie viero and nico serrus, a pair of french brothers who grew up in a beach town along the coast of the french provence, saint-ayg, which has since become the basis for their name: sinteg. now based in montreal, their collective output has made up the bulk of fur trade recordings signature sound - this sixth label offering is the third to feature one of the two brothers at the helm. they are fresh and prolific and, as such, they are the sound of a new generation of montreal producers. vieros version of house music is upbeat, fiercely layered with percussive latinized shuffles and necksnapping samples. meanwhile, brother mindbend is one of the labels co-founders and has been designing its style and directions since the beginning. together, sinteg is a breeding ground of propulsive dance music punctured with tiny shards of detroit funk and chicago soul, but with the brittle dryness of techno substituting in for the deepness of house.
comes on transparent dark green / smokey marbled vinyl.

former member of french duo lownza, lowris develops here his solo project futher. while his first record along with chris carrier received the highest praises, his presence on piemonts remix album, next to jay haze or uner, shows that lowris is gently tracing his own path in the electronic field. the >carambar de toi< ep gathers a collection of generous and warm deep house sonorities. spectral sound new recruit pawas is on remix duties for the title track of this third popcorn release. on his version, pawas blends pads, drums and guitars with a round driving bass. freshly signed on poker flat, is frenchman andrade who offers here a gliding reword of >jackin oz<. the original version is a subtle track structured by a frank bass and a distant sonar.

dc shows with his full 12 inch debut an outstanding spectrum of his talent.
side a contains deep and heavy bass sounds paired with an itching synthline. to say it in a few words, turn your speakers on and get ready to freak out. >vertical output< is definitely the uptempo cracker on this record!
side b comes with some different styles. >yorktown recreation< and >chocolate milk< are pure delight! microkorg extravaganza up to the sky, confused funk chords backed by insane jazz lines. these two bangers are arranged in the typical dorian concept manner and give a pretty good insight of his sound universe.

off we go and leave the cannibals all empty. the skies are lowering into the sea. gently pushed by stones we wonder/wander on. somewhere behind a rainbow, apartment houses quietly suspire their berlin. the cheeky spirit is pinching the nose with zest. watch them trip and do the mashed morale. we dance with them, but not for long. spirits are holding the upper hand again. still we miss a beat with a heart still strong. noisy colors all blending in one blue. i sit with you where the citys down low. we know no wrong in the sound of a song. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the pointy poets heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whos mad with magics saving factor. we wander on, stroll to and fro things weigh us out, no con, no pro, unlike the jesters saving factor we stick around too long a-go. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the meek musicians heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whose magics not an urban factor. strike up the band, play on and on for sweet sage music always wins just like the jesters magic scepter beats up and down, forgives all sins. this is when you come stepping in. a row of tender houses smash your knees. the skies are lowering some more. existences twitching here and there. rain reflects berlins icy glow: a frisking spirit on the tip of your nose. we dance with him for quite some time. no stopping a hand that holds up in a work. no missing a beat for a heart goes on. flamboyant whispers strike a chord back home. you come to me, im not alone, in the sound of a song we know no wrong
