brussels-based duo yves de mey and peter van hoesen presenting three varied techno tracks. system policy features a continuously evolving layer of dubby chords, carefully placed in a rich, resonating musical space. at first it seems appropriate to call it dub techno, but crisp percussion and a keen ear for arrangement lend this track an extra dose of funk

miss kittin & the hacker are right back in action with the first commercially available single from their long awaited (and excellent) second album entitled, suitably enough, >two<. this 12inch comes with a remix by french newcomer maxime dangles. 1000 dreams reflects just one style on an album crammed full of ideas, songs, sounds, influences, hues and textures.first up is >1000 dreams (maxime dangles remix)<. maxime is a (comparatively) fresh-faced newcomer from valence in france, who previously has had some remarkable releases on labels such as colognes kompakt extra (speicher) and scandium records. he strips down the original and imbues it with a thumping melodic club vibe, utilising kittins vocal to devastating effect. nice stuff. very. 1000 dreams<. miss kittin and the hacker sprinkle space dust on a song that sounds like it has been germinated in a mid 70s discotheque, tended with loving care during the 80s and revealed to the world in 2009. a dreamy collision of influences, classic and new. 1000 dreams (instrumental). pretty much self-explanatory, this one. enjoy

played by villalobos & raresh !! what a way to start off 2009, a very strong ep delivered from catwash aka chris carrier & dj w!ld with remix from lemos & kreon. groovabilisme (original) hits with its’ crafty tech-house stomp, killer kick, and fun tribal groove. a very interesting concept on this production, as the deep grounding rhythm is super floor filling, yet the space between gives it the perfect air for the huge sub that just rolls this cut to the top of the charts. a sure shot for all players. kreon’s mix stylizes with more jack then jack himself. his vox arrangements give his cut a pop, lock, and rock it knack for the true school dancer. this remix takes any spot in a set, it’s got the capability to kick it big or be slow & deep, depending on how a player wishes to pitch it- a brilliant & effective production. lemos rocks the bells a for main lead rhythm, an excellent perspective to make for a clever & diversity ep. his mix creates a driving hypnotic bender with enough thump & smack to keep the bells intact and still lead the floor into a seductive sound scape of a moving utopia.

this is an ultra-electronic piece, that has been brought to life by strangelets, with production smarts to be marvelled. massive jazzy synths, snappy bongos, and locomotive drums all make for a futuristic cut. the record is up front space funk, bound to pick you up and throw you around the room a little

the new white release comes with a fundamental change: it s an artist ep. the faces series was a very radical and honest way to launch an artist. but for the artist eps we wanted to give them space, so they can share deeper insights of their artistic development with us. says oskar offermann, who runs the label and does all the a&r decisions. the kick-off ep comes from german-peruvian nu , who stood out already with his last white release voca (white004). he was desperately in search of a musical identity for his peruvian roots. so he decided to join a group of shamans during travels through his home country. and they took him on a spiritual journey, in order to find his lost roots on the other side. a trip to hell which lasted a few days.

after the >jamaica< reworks by dubfire and the mole, minilogue havent splashed out for the second remix ep of last years smash hit album >animals< either. the three versions of the homonymous lp title represent, at the same time, the whole bandwidth of contemporary electronic dance music. starting with multi-national vakant artist tolga fidan and his highly percussive prime time techno approach, whose oriental imprinting is not cagey about the turkish roots of the paris-based producer and – with the spoken voice reminding discreetly of minilogues 2008 club hit >doiicie<. a completely different direction is chosen by brendan moeller aka beat pharmacy. the south african-born protégé of ny house legend françois kevorkian on his deep space media label is interpreting >animals< within a mythical hypnosis of slagged deep house and deep dub techno, somewhere in between nu groove and basic channel, being one of the most visionary tracks in the beginning of 2009.

incl lucca doobie (heimatmelodie, acker, off) remix!! soundselective debuts with millys own release >encounters ep< - a space inspired three tracker with luca doobie on remix duties. >encounters< is a groovy minimal slice of electronica with a riff that is an ode to the tracks title and features some superb tension and builds to create maximum dancefloor impact. luca doobie takes the originals dark and atmospheric theme one step further, turning out a driving percussive roller with some dark quirky grooves. >shibuya 109< rounds off the package and is a chugging tech house track built around funky synths, spacey sounds and calibrated electronic percussions. a sparse vocal sample recorded inside the tokyo ginza metro line adds some real feeling to the groove of the track. this is a sterling start to the soundselective records and is not to be missed

sven weisemann comes with something quite removed from his usual oeuvre for the likes of styrax, mojuba or liebe*detail etc with a luxurious 7 inch, flexing his esoteric jazz and cinematic production skills for the newly minted essays imprint. theres no dancefloor ambitions here as weisemann allows himself some time to explore opulently textured downbeats and dubby ambience on two gorgeously crafted tracks for late night/early morning play. >rootless< is a delicious 5 minutes of melancholy detroit emotions with stunningly spacious sound design, while >garden of fantasy< on the flip sways with a slowhouse rhythm and brilliantly intangible synth pads that will transform the atmosphere of any space its played in. completely lush and utterly seductive, plus it plays backwards! limited copies - hurry.

new jakbeat tracks from chicago on the always limited and vinyl exclusive nation records. villan x/naughty wood/jonny quest - sikk truth is a heat of the moment track. created with pulsating novation tones and an early 80s keyboard with step style sequencing. naughty wood enters the dimension of neo futurism by reflecting the emotional state of the mind body continuum. james t cotton feat. rodger devine - the monolith immediately asserts its colossal melody and takes the listener through a multitude of polyphonic phases without departing from its underlying dark groove. not unlike the eerie monolith in 2001: a space odyssey, the voice of monolith is pervasive and urgent with its sharp articulation, pentatonic motifs and moto perpetuo arpeggios.

the ep >black is back< shows no mercy for the house hype, two chord melodies and fluffy cloud beats. the titletrack pushes through the crowd, moves upfront and wants to work, rock and shake the dancefloor. space detective and minuteman may be less aggresive but still they want to touch you from behind and move you. you shall welcome them as intimate strangers when you meet them again. biography lars wickinger music was always his way companion and his passion

stuart li aka basic soul unit is no unknown in the game, but hes new to our camp. after following his output for some time now, we finally could sign two tracks of his raw and edgy techno for philpot. >dank< is a growing piece of pure space funk! resonating basslines and banging drums collide with twisted arpeggios, fall apart and rise again… caused mayhem when tested out! >the stand< starts with some oldschool flavoured breaks to shuffle its way into bleepy heavens of acid-infected wildpitch craze! people, we must rise up from our graves! zeitlos, wie man bei uns sagt

soulful vocal house that recalls the golden days thanks to an extremely fresh and catchy sound!!

when we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like robert hood, dan bell, plastikman, pansonic and mike ink to name a few. whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started. so we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way. in minimal music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation. the grandfather paradox is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer rene barjavel in his book - le voyageur imprudent. we took suggestions out of that because we felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. the fact that we did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes us quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now. - henrik schwarz, ?e & dixon
