with this new release from amir on trapez ltd, it is clear that amir has turned towards house music even more than with his last releases. he has set the focus here on a stronger mix down with less small snippets but rather bold and fat jacking sounds

it seems that dapayk used to listen to a lot of hip-hop when he was younger. his latest ep for still vor talent >let go< has got these influences written all over it. the title track starts out with a male vocal and some sounds that sound a little like scratching before things then quickly head into the direction of the club. the vocal by singer camara could not be more reminiscent of 80s house music and this track has got all the soul and groove of this era. beneath the delicate vocal and sound patterns lies a wonderfully simply staccato house groove that is sure to get everyone shuffling. on the flip things get a little more techy with >nneka<, a deeper and more melodic tech house glider that gently takes the listener towards a harmonic state of mind. beautifully arpeggiated pads, a warm soulful groove and some reverbed vocals make this one. last up is the sample-based tech-house stomper >upyo< featuring production partner jon hester. this is loop heaven: a pushy beat loop with many snares, reverse samples and an unexpected saxophone melody make this one the perfect changeover track from warm-up to peak-time. this ep shows dapayks skills to combine many musical influences into his unique still of tech-house music

syndrome picks up the pace again with another fat slab of rolling tech business. krone is the one taking the stand and starts off with a steamrolling roller made together with >malsum< we are not alone is one to keep your eyes on. like ghost train you can hear it coming in from miles away rattling along the tracks with the cries of all its zombie passengers inside.dont let this one get you as youll lose your brain.for babylon 21 krone trucks along solo style.. things turn a bit lighter but are all about the groove. like back in the old days before all the sounds got processed to death.. this one keeps it subtle groovy and funky all at the same time!

heavy duty remix ep (accompanying the first sic! release on meakusma) features reworks by errorsmith, lowlow and quarion. errorsmith remodels orange sky, in his inimitable style, into a bouncing bomb, solely focused on making the dancefloor explode in delirious delight. lowlows version explores the darker side of the track, conjuring up a syncopated nu disco rhythm that sounds claustrophobic and ecstatic at the same time. quarion takes orange sky to the beach and gives it a balearic house feel.

edit supremo ajello graces us with another solid ep of slightly off the beaten track disco action on the demo disc label.. some known sounds like ishs amazing >dont stop< get edited along with some lesser spotted tracks.. another solid release from these guys, perfect dancefloor gear! check

fried tofu exists to bring some soulful sounds back into the mix. they have a militant approach to their output, selecting only the finest source material, and sympathetically reducing the ingredients to their raw, dancefloor friendly essence celebrating the often superior production of the 70s and 80s and avoiding the loudness wars which has seen club music recently distilled into an overcompressed and lifeless mass. far too many words have been wasted in the average release info sheet. so lets keep it short and let the music speak for itself.

initial support comes in from pig & dan, paco osuna, tim xavier, richie hawtin, m.a.n.d.y, nic fanciulli, mauro picotto, slam, john digweed, chris fortier and omid/16b! the title to this ep >reminisce< gives us some idea as to feeling of these three tracks, as j alexander pays tribute to some of the late 80s and early 90s sounds that influenced him in his early days. however that said, his talents at blending the old and new together make this much more than a retro sounding ep!

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe

after a furious appearance on cocoon komaton now joins the pro-tez family. >sweet princess< is a bass-bin filling, dance-floor destroying track from the hottest austrian export since arnold schwarzenegger. the a-side has the original version that deeply pulsates through some lonely piano with noise fractals and druggy vocals. it creates subtle sounds building throughout with percussion to excite. a2 follows with a sublime aural dub version by bvoice & khz. on the flip side scsi-9s remix has the power to fill the room with sound in a way that only pro-tez releases do. a must-have!

nice price deal !!! you get what you expect, no digi sounds - only finest raw analog techno. michael frosinone have been working for more than 30 years at the analogue domain studio in new orleans as a mixing and masteringengineer. after a life spent into devotion of a true sound and disappointed by the decline of the sound quality in electronic music he decide to start his own label to provide a teaching to the young and contemporary producers. unpredicatbles first release is a compromiseless raw killer maxisingle at the boundaries of filtered house and dub techno with thefull power of the analogue productions.

following up his massive >theme< on numbers comes the second outing from slackk, backed by the debut release from hervey jenkins.
slackks >synthetic< on the a side is a bumpy house track boasting a strong sub bass and shuffling hi-hats. meanwhile hervey jenkins brings classic uk garage sounds with >steelo< on the b side, with swinging 2-step drums and soulful vocals, this verson is exclusive to the vinyl release. this release has been receiving support from brackles, jackmaster, blackdown, blawan, dubbel dutch & hackman.

this is the third 12-inch for panacustica, delivering a deep, atmospheric ambient track by cosmic metal mother: >zen locomotive<. as soon as the needle drops onto the vinyl, a train sound emulated by a moog transports us through a gentle melody consisting of moods and textures created by uneven loops of sustained sounds, suggestive of a scenery from a train window in full speed, where color shades melt as well as time and space exactly like the music, an intense trippy and esoteric journey.

since other heights started just one year ago, dubbed and deep sounds have always been the keywords of this modest label. after several cd releases, the first 12inch vinyl release is available. this ep provides a spectrum of styles in the shape of three tracks by szare, helix and brooks mosher. ranging from percussive to chord-driven techno, the producers reflect what other heights is all about. so far supported by field records, anthony shakir, fanon flowers, donnell knox, myles sergé, don williams, xdb, samuli kemppi and duplex

prins thomas spreads proper, earthy dub house vibes in a good old bobby konders tradition with >lang tung ting<. a hard driving jacker with dry, punching drums and grumbling, low-frequency acidic sounds not modulated by an 808 synth but from warped cello and bassoon lines. an ode to the timeless magic of beats and bass. much less sparse >ny maskin< on the flip is a dizzying disco/ rock jam backed by african derived beats and a gyranting, buoyant guitar lick . prins thomas brilliantly proves himself a jack of many trades again

superdisko recordings was founded by tobias oliver, starting up in 2008 with the >sender/receiver< release from viennese underground stars smacs and patrick kong. we are proud and happy to bring fresh and fine techno tunes from austria into the world. superdisko means super sounds for the disko !

produced in 2004, this ep marks an essential shift in the production of stefan goldmann to his modus operandi as a dedicated innovator. he had adapted the barricade guise to induce some serious deviations into the techno realm. yet, heads werent ready and he simply continued under his real name with his major breakthrough works: perlons blood ep and the legendary sleepy hollow tune. hidden from the public, aleko and frantic had built a prototypic aesthetic of rough, concrete-space sounds - reduced dark, metallic percussion grooves, spring reverbs and degraded post-acidic synths. you name it where you heard this sound years later. its revealing how far ahead these tunes were at the time of their creation. they sound more now than many current tracks. aleko is the 4/4 techno version of this soundset, locked-in clonk patterns built around a nitrous bassline. frantic could be a future development to todays dubstep, if it wasnt its actual historic predecessor. add the schizophrenic bass excursion heliotrope and you have a package of painstaking relevance. back then the a&rs simply didnt get it - thats why it took 6 years and the formation of victoriaville to finally bring these gems to light

olm029 - layo & bushwacka! - double a side summer gone/what do you say now layo and bushwacka! spent most of last year recording, the first offering from this period came at the end of last year with their endangered ep on plus 8. we now present their first release on their own label in eleven months. summer gone is a groove that starts on an up that slowly breaks down and brings in sounds, voices, rhythm and then kicks back with a really strong vocal and groove. what do you say now hits from the moment it begins with a stripped down sound and dub vocal and then slams with strong percussion and then back to the groove. totally tested out by layo & bushwacka! but supported big by the only two other djs with copies, richie hawtin and laurent garnier.

the danish duo darkness falls is a new alternative rock duo right from the centre of the emerging copenhagen music scene, a collaboration between josephine philip (vocals, keyboards) and ina lindgreen (guitar, bass). their sound is rooted in rock tradition, with elements of post punk, distant beats, and chanting, textured productions wrapped up with a great passion for classic 60s twang guitar sounds. a beautiful mixture of charming pop and melancholy, this is feel good music for 2011 and beyond. produced by trentemøller these 4 tracks are a spellbinding taste of things to come. the combination of trentemøllers glistening production and the unique, heartfelt music of darkness falls is sure to uplift and inspire.

two tracks from local l.a. artists / djs santiago salazar and roque (subversive) hernandez that showcase the fundamental aesthetic of the modern classic. a side, izalco, is a deep composition that contrasts the classic sounds of chicago, new york and berlin but reinterpreted to represent the sound of the here and now. b side, retiro, is a brilliant, epic piece that brings to mind the l.a. coastline and its endless horizon -- beauty at its finest.

following the success of his debut ep, komisch is delighted to put out the next instalment from sp-x. like his first release, the three tracks on field lines never end capture the essence of contemporary techno - austere and functional, yet deeply resonating. field construction starts with crackle of a broken power cable accompanying brittle percussion and a juggernaut rhythm, before dank filters, distorted riffs and a combination of doubled up claps and hissing hats bring the track to an irresistibly dark climax. internalize follows a similar path, but straight away sp-x plots a more ominous course, with a muffled filter making way for jarring riffs, a grubby acid line and killer claps. last but certainly not least, flux is constructed using dense rhythms, deadweight, iron bar beats and a howling siren riff that sounds like it came from beyond. all the while, sp-xs rasping, firing percussion weaves in and out. these are deadly effective techno tracks, streamlined for use on big speakers - but dont take our word for it, try them out yourselves!

boys and diamonds is unmistakably a pop album but also one that comfortably fits in with kompakts long-standing lineage of genre-refracting releases. you will be hard up find another record that cohesively brings to mind siouxsie rubbing elbows with shabba ranks, giorgio moroder sipping daiquiris in bali, desmond dekker envisioned through skittering footwork, tom tom club sitting in with congotronics, even early madonna produced by chris and cosey. unlikely as all of that sounds, rainbow arabia makes it sound easy. mostly recorded at their home studio in echo park, muppet palace, boys and diamonds was written and produced by the couple with help from their friends in los angeles and beyond. drummer/producer extraordinaire butchy fuego (pit er pat, boredoms, mia) contributes arrangements and beats in places, and icy demons dylan ryan plays on the percussion-heavy island shuffle nothin gonna be undone . the album was mixed at the wonderful hobby shop studios in la by mudrock, who also adds some final production touches on the record. the 11 new songs on the album, were also made possible by the encouragement of peers/heroes in la like former ghosts, fool s gold, secret circuit, abe vigoda, and part time punks dj crew. outside of their hometown, they also found support and inspiration from kindred spirits like pictureplane, spoek mathambo, as well as their new home, the ever-illustrious kompakt

echolettes second release manzanillo 002, follows up with a similar tropical -journey feeling- as felt on echolettes first release, perhaps setting the style for this excellent new label. whereas before it was pygmys and bongos, this time manzanillo has a distinctly more mexican, if not aztec vibe. the original mix kicks off with steady galloping horse like drums and percussion, which is suddenly met by a lovely melodic bassline, which again is doubled up with what sounds like a xylophone. just as your wondering where its all going, a wicked little riff with delayed minimal vocal slices enter the mix keeping the groove going on and on forever and ever... another brilliant and quality piece of music from jackie misfit

supported by: sebo k, laurent garnier, Âme, jimpster, hell, deetron, marc romboy, doc martin, robert dietz, catz n dogz, willie graff, martin landsky, ian pooley, d julz, adultnapper, dirt crew, lexx, jef k, trickski, andre hommen, iron curtis,.. essen-based band festland get the remix treatment by innervisions marcus worgull and mild pitch head honcho manuel tur. festlands music is based upon beats and sounds used in dj culture, but played with a drumset, bass and keyboards. lets call it krauthouse. they sing german lyrics written by a friend, the painter fabian weinecke. the bands latest album >welt verbrennt< received critical praise from the german press, making it into zeit magazines list of 2010s best albums.

averse to any easy classification, rainbow arabias continent-trekking, kaleidoscope pop is rooted in no particular time or place, employing modern technological processes to an array of musical cultures and eras. the los angeles duo began with the purchase of a lebanese casio that played microtonal scales and eastern beats, with which they quickly recorded their propulsive first ep, the basta, synthesizing bossa nova and industrial post-punk with heavy middle eastern vibes. digging deeper for inspiration from the worldly found sounds of sublime frequencies compilations, their follow-up ep, kabukimono, expanded the color palette of their >fourth world< pop with dark, arabic disco-dancehall jams sitting alongside sunnier moments with caribbean and african flourishes...

in a london garage, long time collaborators and childhood friends tom hanley (vox/sounds) and max whatley (drums), collude to create electronic duo drugg, who are set to release their debut ep >shackled< in january 2011, through independent label less music. the esoteric imprint from the trio of this is music, more music & less music, less musics debut release came by way of dubstep innovator shackleton, with his >wizards in dub

wir freuen uns das neue jahr mit ihm beginnen zu können. nach seiner sagenhaften single coconut blues istgabriel ananda zurück auf treibstoff! der titeltrack love attack hat die für ananda typisch erdigen grooves. streicher bereiten den weg zu einer organisch anmutenden bassline und nehmen uns mit auf einen emotionalen glückstrip. open up ist ein sehr trickreiches stück techno und entwickelt einen unfassbaren sog, der den raum zu einem vakuum werden lässt. für den remix von open up hat sich treibstoff den stuttgarter till krüger beim befreundeten label 200 records ausgeliehen. mit seiner version wählte er diesmal nicht seinen schnellen detroit-sound, sondern lässt die original-sounds in einem gewand erscheinen, daß mit seinen dubs an die legendären gas platten von wolfgang voigt erinnert.

well rounded kick off 2011 with the deep space bump-n-hustle of littlefoots aptly named >interplanetary< ep.
all 4 tracks contrast tuff dry drums & low sweeping subs with cosmic atmospheres and twilight melodies and chords. theres a unique strictness in the drums here, less swung than typical garage but with innovative programming that shows a producer keen to explore new possibilities. as ever with well rounded and our producer friends, we are celebrating influences from the past - think classic 4/4 uk garage in the vein of dem 2, mixed with early 90s rave sounds and welded together in a motor city car plant. with added post-dubstep production sensibilities, littlefoot is creating an unheralded hybrid sound. all 4 tracks contribute to the completeness of the ep - we go in hard, explore different areas and complete our journey with the last track. we hope you enjoy this trip.

lime dubz keep on cracking with another too hot to handle release.. the long time duo jade & matt-u are reunited once again but not for getting back to their dnb roots. no jade teams up with matt-u for some highly technical dubstep sounds. grindhouse on jades venom lp was just a taster of what was to come..

repressed - white label - red vinyl - d5, the artist formely known as dimension 5, returns to the label where he started. three times deeply smooth funk techno tracks. his last track >floatation tank< on the >planet delsin< compilation, was favorite along a broad range of deejays, and licensed to josh winks mix compilation. this neutrino ep brings us three times deep funky warm minimal/techno. sounds along the lines of luciano and aril brikha, groovy late night techno. very deep
