supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

run and operated by laurent pastor from paris, astro lab recordings is home to many artists producing electronic music in many styles. the main idea of the label is to try to find new and confirmed artists in a real full spectrum of music, from electro, hip hop to indie, thats the guideline of astro lab. first on board is pilooski, after his recent collaboration with d.i.r.t.y and his amazing edit of frankie valli >beggin< pilooski delivered for the first shoot 3

return of the cocoon-proof techno don! some phat business from jaceks underwater lab - yet another exercise in his very own concept of combining minimal groove with maximal sound spectrum. and it works: solid mid-tempo rhythm carries what seems to be a thousand of layers of sound. meaty, bouncing bass stabs intertwine with washes of synthetic melodies, while percussion drops and unidentified samples swirl around in this bio-robotic monster of a tune. >green river< takes jaceks minimal obsession into cold outer space, where you can hear the planets spin and the only hope seems to be coming from a dying communication device... cold, stark and haunting, this is either work of a madman or truly the future now

pawel, also known for his melancholic and deeply emotional songwriter skills as turner on ladomat and mute, follows his path of minimal post-detroit influenced tracks recently heard on his dial release >ceramics<. having released 3 12inches on dial records as pawel so far, >jujuy&salta< marks a step on new ground, by starting his own label. orphanear is meant to be a open playground for both the pawel and turner releases, as well as for old and new friends, not only in the dance-spectrum. >jujuy< starts of with a slowed down, dark and bouncing synth line, and later on sound as if sähkö had moved to la and invited us all. >salta< turns up the velocity slightly and deliberately evolves into one of the sweetest and hypnotic detroit affine tracks in the recent past! played by dj koze & chloe

body shaper at a1, is a hands-up-techhouse-rave anthem produced by nico grubert. a2 comes along with a body shaper remix by david keno, the upcoming artist from berlin, with his very successful label keno- records. b1 by nico grubert is more influenced by techno-sounds and goes straight forward. fresh, minimal sounds, flavoured with melodies and really good vibes

brother, the second track of reeads album take what you need was conceived in collaboration with guillaume françois & johann querne. this track has an unusual pop rock touch quite different from rewind, reeads first track selected to be on the official compilation of the 2007 winter music conference. brother is just as diverting & enchanting as the album. it reflects the artists will to widen its musical spectrum focusing maybe a little less on the electronic influence of his music and going back to the essence of it. brother thus features a steady voice accompanied by a strait guitar & an efficient bass line. without a doubt, the single and ep will conquer its audience thanks the several remixes that will rejoice the electro music fans. reead >brother< produced by reead written by reead, guillaume françois & johann querne.

part three in the hoowwwwwse !!! deconstructed, dirtied up and reassembled modern house throw downs from mr chris duckenfield (swag) these four cuts carry on where his previous two bestselling eps left off, combining elements from all corners of the musical spectrum.

"this ep combines different periods of time. oldschool and newschool elements is the key element of a modern production, no matter if its nasa or both legends acquaviva & lützenkirchen to deliver a masterpiece that is functional in every possible way. sirens and oldschool stabs on one side, combined with electronic fierceness and drumming madness. the b-side "hurt me" is more agressive, sawtooth sounds modulating through every spectrum of frequencies. at least one will get your ears bleeding or just the mind blowing if youre lucky enough to survive. cologne based producer pierce gives the >satellite< original a new face with his remix. long synth build ups, reduced drumming and massive compression focus on the basic needs and desires of a rocking dancefloor: to celebrate a break, a melody and to freak out when it starts at zero again"

welcome to the new blufin imprint : yellow tail records. first release comes by the belgium based producer ramon tapia aka el carlitto with uhu + der alte, nightvision, while the kolombo remix reduces the idea to its core basic. pumping, groovy and with a raving attitude, that will for sure bring every dancefloor to the max. nightvision is the perfect addition to offer a broad sound spectrum on one ep. minimal, dark and hypnotic with similar sounds to landsky or late romboy productions. the cat likes it, and so will you. miaow !!

jonas kenton and silas holm have been producing music together since 1999. with their studio based in the centre of copenhagen, the two danish producers have been exploring the musical spectrum since the age of fifteen. after their debut ep, big mamas runway, comes here the great follow up !!

here it is. the follow up to daze maxim s fabulous 12inch entitled >simply driving gold< (hello004) which is without a doubt one of the most stunning releases of 2006. on this ep daze hits you again with a funky, bleepy flow to make you bounce. >pull absurde< - the opening and title cut - is a dry, hard hitting, n driven track, accented with daze s typical vocals and breakdowns from outer space. a real bumper. the flipside holds a rough percussive and hypnotic trip - take me home. with this piece mr. maxim proves again his highly individual taste and takes us into a deep journey through the endless world of his musical spectrum …. listen carefully. welcome to planet pull absurde

hot !! brill dark electrofied techburner

with this release on drumpoet he presents kadena,a track which already acclaimed much attention by the likes of âme and dixon and creates a fresh symbiosis between disco and detroit. an emotional and bootyshaking tune which can take you higher and make you want to move it. on secret playground he goes into the more dubby side of this ep and provides a deep minimal excursion with a warm and almost cinematic feel. lexx is a musiclover so his spectrum is huge, but all we can say is, that this man knows what he does and there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it

modern dance whizz kids treat stephen malkmus to a spin across the dance floor. the original >kindling for the master< came from the acclaimed stephen malkmus album >face the truth<. the guys at domino thought that the arthur russell-esque bubblings of the song would suit their more disco-minded remix friends. they have pulled together an a-list of remixers, the norwegian dance god prins thomas in his major swellings guise, the analogue psych-freak of the emperor machine modern pop group hot chip and the crazed sounds of canadian sandro perri aka polmo polpo. ·the mixes have been picking up fans across the dance spectrum, including mylo, erol alkan, jonnie wilkes (optimo), fc kahuna & unabombers.

dj support : dan curtin, daniel stefanik, dominik eulberg, jambi, james flavour, anja schneider... gummihz s 2nd release of mobilee comes straight from the bottom of his heart. the concept of >modern dynamic< is based on developing grooves by manipulating the dynamics of a sound, rather than composing melodies. a side consists of a steady groove with a few surprises taking place in the sonic spectrum and a dominating fm tone evolving throughout the arrangement. it is the kind of tune that delivers pure freakness on the dance floor. flipside is set in a deeper atmosphere with a sweet electric piano groove appearing in the end, reminiscent of the starting time of deep house. agony develops during the first minutes of the track, leading to a relaxed groove in theme with the sweet summer breeze

pohjola is maybe the most mysterious spanish label at the moment with its gothic letters and images on the label. this is a four tracker which can be described with the spectrum from mania to shizzo psycho, some say it sounds like jeff mills would produce these beats if he would be young and on crystal. dancebeats for an advanced generation

this is a shining example of feeling and raw >emotion< exemplified by his use of grtty analog basstones and heavy racing percussion which gives this release his classic >places< feeling. the new york legend has once again created a milestone in the electronic music spectrum, for the modern electro tech dancefloor. this wonderful balearic techno-electro track simply falls apart in the middle as the bass drum is denied in favor of one of the most beautiful summer-fuelled love songs ever. without a doubt one of joey s most innovative productions this year

excellent classic ep with strong techno & acid tracks from slam (soma), nicole (basic beat), lfo (warp records)!

woody is finally back with the long await own new treat. unexpectedly open produced and very fresh sounding the two to long and intensely reduced tracks are immediately touching, yet just teasers of many more things to come from him soon. a1- put em up and b - 40/love go right back to the times of 'body music' taking its already classic tight sound spectrum but giving it a reduced stylish electronic appeal which makes 'put em up' a dangerously sublime peak time hymn and 40/love the timeless future afterhour classic we just cant get enough of. cool! played by ricardo villalobos ..
