detroit underground returns for their much anticipated ninth edition of their now legendary compilation series. featuring some of the label s biggest artists, namely funkstorung, richard devine and jimmy edgar, the ninth edition sees the label return to its more experimental roots after a successful, albeit brief foray into a more hip-hop and club-oriented music in the series seventh and eighth editions. while number nine, still puts you on the dance-floor, the release s forays into idm, acid and experimental sounds recall earlier du records and further detroit underground s reputation as a label that is not afraid to take chances

dark but somehow funky techno killer. after having massive support from all the major players during 2007 (hawtin, garnier, 2000 & one, mr. c, wink, troy pierce), esperanza strikes back in 2008 with the comeback of franco cinelli to the label. franco introduces us two oldschool infused bombs with intricate sounds that won t go out of your mind for a long time.

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.

born and raised in nantes, france, the parisian r-play began his career in 2000 with the d-clik crew. parties and events organizer, dj and producer, follower of a minimal techno, r-play uses to share frenzied groovy drums and hypnotic or freaky sounds. his sets wander between many different dance floor styles. in 2003 he founded a first label hologram and then launched triumbeats in 2004 for his own releases with noaria, and produces many tracks in such different style like minimal techno, hard techno, ambient or world music. his productions are play listed and mixed by most of the greatest international artists.

ricardo villalobos, magda, karotte, loco dice, monika kruse, martinez, 2000andone, tiefschwarz, matthias tanzmann, ben klock, lauhaus, raresh...we proudly present our first release on cécille numbers the new sublabel from cécille records. the first release comes from the greek producer lemos and is splitted in two parts. on two tracks he worked together with his friend ilan manouach and conjured two amazing vibe and atmosphere live recorded saxophone tracks that will catch your ear for sure. the other tracks use the perfect balance between rhythmic and vocal sounds. all four tracks are sure shots for every music lover. hope you enjoy…

loved by alex from tokyo, alex attias, ame, dixon, marcus worgull, peter kruder, roland appel, tony lionni and many more.. fabrice lig, the prince of everything electronic, is back after his very acclaimed x-slaves. he delivers the goods once again, starting off here with chapter one in a purple raw trilogy. first up is the track, based around a jerky syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick, which remains light all the way. as usual, lig’s arrangements evolve progressively before they wipe us away with their screeching pads and synthetic melodies. a great mixture of minimal techno and detroit nostalgia. no doubt, the more efficient track produced by fabrice lig and hammered by dixon, ame, alex attias, quarion… much more aggressive, bump bump is built around fat analogue sounds, or acid noises if you prefer which seem to emulate screaming animals. one is easily carried away by an animalistic groove that keeps on building from the beginning till the end. it all ends with the very funky the riff pourpre, a perfect crossover between metro area and parliament. the retro sounds sit nicely on a big fat beat, the kind which lig excels in.

seit 30 jahren ist conrad schnitzler im musik-zirkus der elektronischen musik unterwegs und noch immer presst er frische sounds aus seinen maschinen. hier gibt es die allerneuesten ergebnisse mit mixen von perlons dandy jack & bruno pronsato.

after several releases for atificial beats/protect/hostage, here is the debut smaher of dj arcane on the skull tunes sub-label synopsis! hard and devastating sounds for all the hardfloors

life is long is an opening gate to the world of lithuanian jazzy house. the funky basslines and turntablist stylings, topped with the organic sounds of light, swinging, latin percussion, wailing saxophones, and fluttering flutes forms the distinct sound of jazzus juice. the release includes amazingly frivolous and funky remix crafted by talented mr. rithma (om records).

continuing in our quest to break some new ground and bring some new sounds to the fore, universal vibes presents the onaz. standing out from the crowd, with a bit of a unique sound and outlook, the onaz is a new artist who we think fits right in with the leftfield vibe we are going for with the universal vibes label. the onaz mainly subscribes to nudisco music influenced by emperor machine, lindstrom and prins thomas however, his production of the form is more minimal.this sound combines the deep electronic disco stylings of lindstrom, prins thomas et al with the edgy techtronics and beat trickery of seiji and the west london mob. resulting in a deep, minimal edgy dancefloor led sound that stands out from then crowd

first single to be lifted from the forthcoming lp is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. a wholly original mashup of electronics, my heart rate rapid is sheer falsetto laden, drum battering brilliance. although metronomys elliptical, insidious, multi coloured art pop sounds nothing like colognes legendary purveyors of prog disco, can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. add early brian eno, sparks, devo, talking heads, soft cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid and you realise that you cant think of any, because metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.

jon gurd is back on a solo project, with the usual jon gurd style of using old school rave sounds with a tech and groovy combination that works well on the cooler dancefloors. tom neville - really good stuff. im playing both tracks but grass rots is probably my favourite. thanks slam! co / orde meikle: grass roots – very glichisco – quite intense, the chimes – love the groove – old skool stabs are nice kos: i am really into the chimes record. solid track and i love the old skool riff. definitely gonna play. james talk: the chimes is class mate, big room action

this brand new house it up release from dj tapado, is a very refreshing release with electro sounds, nice break and it builds up to a great climax!!!

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

second release on this fresh imprint from barcelona. this time its belgian madman sandy warez to step up! known for his distorted sounds on a lot of established labels like djax-up, jackstar, skull tunes, cluster and many many more...

techhead brings you a brandnew release straight from the ancient lands of greece! dj preach (relic, concept, patterns, yin yang) is responsible for the big a-side, a track in pure preach style, with a massive build up and trancy noises that bring you to a big climax. perfect for those outdoor festivals.. spiros kaloumenos from greece turns this track into a groovin techno monster adding the usual spiros funk into it. budai and vic taking the track a bit further even, combining the funk and the trancy sounds of the original.

mahatma and barcelona based artist lukas present the next release on 6feetunder. remember their last burning release on nerven records chickens on gras and expect weird sounds paired with hard beats on this bangin sequel. this four-tracker countains stomping, crazy and always bracing sounds, which will keep each and every dancefloor filled

franklin de costa (einmaleins, trapez, karmarouge, sender, frisbee) comes with a melodic, deep harmony track on a1 (survivor). a2 is a very usefool tool, while the b-side is an atmospheric, sound-missile with fresh fx sounds. electronic evergreens for you

viper xxl and dj lukas join the manic pets for another distorted nightmare into the sounds of the ever growing mayhem that is dogs on crack vs. katz on k. ruin the dark is the 1st twisted output delivering the usual offerings of intense chaos ground together with the dark hearings of a mental ward. if you think you are the dogs bollox think again - ruin the dark is set to separate the pitbulls from the poodles..

this canadian artist rocks the place giving a happy smashing acidic electro shambles under helium. sounds like alter ego, tiefschwarz & all major electro producers

analytic trail is rolling! joseph capriati totally ripped it with his release on ant 17 and the represses are coming every week still! simone tavazzi aka delysid 25 (loose records, analytic trail) straight from italy is next in line and brings us another stormer. minimal sounds with a techno drive, edits and kicks in true italien style. fans of loose records, bauns, rilis an those labels alike should defenitely check this out!!!

supported by someone else, remute, pheek, jeff samuell, adultnapper... einmaleins welcomes souki (carina >sissy< lohmeyer). 23 year old girl. she enteres the series of releases along with young talented >lazy mouth< remix that has been doing a great work lately. her tracks are fresh and funky minimal tracks with crunchy sounds and beats. clubby minimal tech/house cuts with bleeps for freaks

ultraphat marek hemmann remix !! support comes from anthony collins, italoboyz, karotte, dj misk, mark henning and many more.. on a1 marcus meinhardt is telling the story of jerry lee in passionate dark sounds. he’s painting pictures from the dark side of town in which he was torn into. in the dense frames he hunted the adventure. a visionary, whose hair followed in electric line shape the power of his movements. when he runs - he runs for his life. marek hemmann how ever highlights jerry lee to a sunny place, to pick and count some daisys, in which the rough guy revives like a tame light being.

by now dazzle drums and nite grooves are old friends. this being their 5th release on the label, the beat goes on and carries us with it. gypsyman turns out an organic bent out of shape (we didnt say warped!), percussive, almost dubby, instrumental delight. this is one of the definite moods one would hear at say, the shelter. its got that kind of clubby rhythmic organic vibe. call it what you will, we call it hot. tokyo deep that follows is a more upbeat instrumental full of synth moog sounds and overflowing washes. very car chase or early 80s stalk you cinema, catch the drama while you can!

hailing from deep down south africa, mujaba is up for his second outing on the überhot four roses recordings imprint. here come two joints that will get stuck in a lot heads for some time. the music indeed sounds like a further development of the original house sounds already being approved by all the good guys you would like to spin at the party of your dreams.

yes the audio assault offshout labels strikes again! known for the harder sounds of techno, this time arms will take you to another side of techno. dj boss steps up first and delivers a perfect off-beat workout which he is famous for

the original of song for marie and elise is a melancholic pop jewel, which was made for the movie in your head. the remix comes from the disco superstars aeroplane (of which vito is also a part of). they keep the sweet melody, but put a fatass bassline under it to shook to your very heart and soul and make this an outstanding remix. flip over you ll get code 7429. it combines 90s rave sounds with a stunning piano making this a dancefloor sureshot. hot hot hot!

the title track made a brief appearance last year, garnering spins from the likes of fergie on radio 1. its now primed for full release, retaining its cool stuttering bleeped out hook atop a strident bassline thats designed to make sure no one can physically stand still, whether they want to or not. its also catchy as fuck. mike healey drops a cleaner remix that techs it out some, the first third or so of the track just twitters, phased sounds and hints at whats to come. its 1.00am central trip material until that bass finally implodes. are we alone? is a deeper closing cut, with suitably zoned out vocal samples and more electro tech shenanigans, making for a near essential ep for those who like it dark and trippy.

the first aroma release of the year is definitely worth the long wait. originally uk singer natalie williams released this song on her late 2006 album secret garden but wonder boy giom (london) who beefed up already swirl peoples last single a few months ago has now done his magic tricks again and housed up this song with grace. this is not your average deep house song but this how vocal deep house sounds anno 2008: clever beats, wiggly keys and a heavenly vocal by natalie to make this all to a perfect dance floor blend. and now you are ready for the spring with this new aroma release!

after the huge success of wahnsin, here is the next dancefloor burner from marco bailey and his long time friend and production partner tom hades. blast has a simply devastating effect on the floor with its dubfire inspired peaktime sounds. saint paul is more melodic and gets a remix treatment by one of the hottest men of the moment, gregor tresher. this one is not to miss under any circumstances!!!

supported by fabrice lig, funk d void and santiago salazar (ican, planet e). excellent deep spacin detroitish techno music by mario crnkovic and nino shebelic aka subotika. heavily influenced by the sounds of detroit innovators underground resistance and red planet

in the year of punk 1977, the jams exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. the raw, unfettered aggression of the bands approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the mod movement of the mid 60s. singer/guitarist paul weller comes off like a cross between joe strummer and the young pete townshend, bashing unreservedly through slow down, one of the r&b tunes that inspired the original mods. weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture over the raging three chord attack of bassist bruce foxton and drummer rick buckler. the pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky arrangements, which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.

persona label boss stewart walker returns with his first 12 release since last year s well-received album >concentricity<. on this release he continues to seek the correct balance between power and detail in high, medium, and low intensity versions. the powerful a - side, >the stiff materialist< kicks off the release with at least a thousand sounds and a clearly defined dynamic narrative which shifts between many unique-sounding peaks and plateaus.

global player vincent vega (resident: ministry of sound sessions in st. petersburg) meets twinpitch which had just a big success with her latest singles >nonstop< and the result is a real electro-house smasher with some progessive elements. the violin arrangement on the original mix is the perfect contrast to the electronic sounds and at the whole line reminds a bit on >yellow - the race<. the sunday noon mix is the minimalistic version of the track. on b1 is a very strong remix by gorge

the spanish dj fernano lopez produces an alternative electro track using home innovative music sounds for this kind of sound

karim and beta boy put their hands on this house project which is very much influenced by electronic sounds!!

phil kieran is back again with >missp< on cocoon recordings and continues consistently where he stopped with his contribution to the compilation g: groovy, dark, technoid – a sound that, from time to time, reminds of some fog & strobo parties in the mid-nineties. an electroid bass line and a fascinating drum roll go straight ahead and its still the fine sounds in between that make the music and the rhythm. a track which is perfect for the prime time

tom mangan is the guy behind the 4th release on the lorna label. his name has been around since 2002 with eps on labels such as bedrock or tiefschwarzs souvenir. together with cass cutbusch he has been responsible for a variety of club hits as cass & mangan and deadset on wall of sound, fine and sabotage systems. >good words< gets you with its deepness and musicality - tight house music right for the floor. >bit lip< on side b spreads over twelve minutes - closely selected harmonies and sounds conjure up a hypnotic house track that serves as deadly secret weapon in early morning hours, special rerelease
