that juan maclean is just a bundle of contradictions. here he has created one of the years best mix cds — and not just a proper party mix, which it certainly is, but even what you might call an important mix, a timely lesson in the enduring spirit of house music — and how does he choose to describe the process of putting it together? as an >existential tailspin<.

nice price deal !!! this second release from glasgows fortified recordings is a departure in sound from their first acclaimed ep by dundees loops haunt, but all the same in attitude. iranian born, texas residing garagesmith vvv uses his late night musical tests to forge and perfect his sonic output, and deploys a range of techniques not normally found in the often formulaic world of garage and dubstep. this patchwork quilt of laced beats, field recordings and intensive sample editing has made manifest a four track ep that simultaneously references the work steve gurley, todd edwards, carl craig, my bloody valentine, the cocteau twins and roy davis junior via the bastardised strains of 2-step and house practiced by the likes of ramadanman, untold and joy orbison, peppered with that magic elusive el_b swing that only the greats are able to achieve. at the same time familiar yet different (how many times have you heard that?), the four tracks on projects kick with the intensity of the best club music and invokes the cosmic spirit of classic motor city techno with an uplifting and deep soulful vibe that reveals layers of orchestrated natural sound upon repeated listens. in other words, its sexy as fuck. slated for an official release early march , one can only assume this limited 12inch will fly off the shelf much like fortified s inaugural release did

hardcore 4 tracker!

another topical 12inch from the familiar sv brand, for your stylish yet sweaty boogie nights... side a: riccio remarks his own true remixing abilities with this first track on side b. distant sounds of a glittery era blend perfectly with the tricks of nowadays in a track that is as ever stopping as explosive on the floor. side b1: perfect strings and horns crescendos do the job. this should equally appeal to both straight and gay crowds... pure paradise garage in spirit. side b2: hold tight for the final surprise. yes, this 3rd track in the 12inch knocks in a rather unexpected, slightly latin flavoured intro.

nice price deal !!! sr.click (juanjo matos) is an experienced dj from the end of the 90s who started producing electronic music in 2003 and in 2005 co-founded the inoquo netlabel. his minimal techno productions show an experimental spirit who has been able to assimilate many samples and mix them with galloping grooves, making up his unique style. after playing in sonar 2008 and participating in angel molinas wax session 3, the new techno label flatmate music based in barcelona is now releasing his first 12 inch.

ok now. we got our new storming release on highway ready to rock! body-movin, heavily dub influenced and indemand ep by wols (a new dubby astrobard-hop project by krasnodar based modul guys well known for their level, harthouse, pro-tez and ostwind appearances and distinctive deep electronica sound). this hot piece of wax will surely take you on a fully energized trip. original >bushmans oversized vibe< is a heavy ethnic floor stomper - broken, flowing and absolutely magnetic. filled with headbanging twisted vocal cuts and ancient mojo rhythms it will launch your spirit far beyond the neighbourhood. this is a definetely high quality explosive vibe tribe dub-unit! but even dont try to stop here - continue the ride with great remixes by guti (from desolat stables run by loco dice) and greg parker ...

must have classic live performance!! grunge at it best

its been a while since i:cube hasnt deliver some fresh cuts! was he lost in a software??? hes back (a new album is also scheduled) to his early naive, deep and twisted spirit, but with a super tight modern production... falling is a sleazy funk track, a slow burner, which contains all the elements who made i:cube one of the most respected and innovative producers around since more than a decade!! heavy groove, hypno bassline, references to the early disco-dub music. un dimanche sans fin (neverending sunday) was done (as its name says) a sunday night, one shot, at the versatile studio. cube reconnects with his seminal dub-techno love, a track full of space and emotion. i would describe operation hypnosis as sheffield house. a solid beat and some bleeps will bring the dancer into a mental spiral...

balance alliance brings to you a series of productions new and old. the concept is to introduce new school dance labels while keeping the spirit of the unite therapy concept, coming together as one nation under independent dance music.

igor jadranin aka en-tropic signs his new ep – >between two extremes<, for the record label underground limited.this release clearly proves igors unmatched talent and maturity in music production. the lead theme of this ep >between two extremes< – a very deep and powerful theme, carefully broken by rhythm and still a gentle and emotional jazzy looped composition – is surely my personal favorite from this release.cooperation with marko vukovic is embodied in the track >back again< – a minimal deep house filled with rhythm, not the kind of rhythm produced by percussions and other drumming instruments but rather by a cut vocal and dirty synth, which breathe soul into this theme.
>zero loss circuit<, which has an expressed club spirit, is the ideal piece for building an atmosphere in a club. igors music definitively deserves a spot on every good djs list.
(zoran petkovski review)

there is a new label in town! young belgian producer compuphonic is launching his own project to express his vision of house music: union match music. talented and confirmed artists have already joined in, such as spirit catcher, fabrice lig, kolombo, and ante perry. the magic words in the name of which they all stand united are eclecticism and quality. first release loved & played by laurent garnier, darko esser, sebastien san, ken ishii, motorcitysoul, llorca, charles webster, chymera, electric indigo, d-pulse, to name a few.

subb-an & adam shelton present one records, cultivated directly from five years experience at the helm of below, one of the uks most upfront and authentic underground parties, the label aims to encapsulate the energy and dexterity of artists and crowds the night has connected with most. the labels debut release comes from its founders, subb-an & shelton, with >feel the musik< ep, a retro infused collection of driving dancefloor tracks. each stamped with a dash of ibican spirit and explosive energy. subb-an has gained familiarity and become a talent to watch through his releases on immigrant and leftroom. he has a distinctly vivacious sound and is a youthful and passionate artist with some tasty scheduled remixes coming up on b-pitch, hypercolour, 2020vision plus a full release coming up with mothership. he is resident at below in birmingham and regularly takes his dj and impressive live set to the best european destinations. this is the debut release from adam shelton, founder of below, which has exploded over the past five years to become named the best uk club night outside london in major press. shelton has found major recognition from his peers and been asked to play everywhere from panoramabar to space in ibiza. his pioneering sound and spirit has propelled below to the heights of appreciation and he is subsequently tunneling this ambition and focus into the one record label. future releases due from the label come from back2basics resident and leeds one to watch buckley, little fritter and further collaborations and solo work from subb-an and shelton. each ep will introduce new talent and deliver first-rate material with 2 solid tracks + 2 added tools for dj use on every release.

>general motors, detroit, america< is the first offering to emerge from the mysterious parisian dance duo, acid washed. the influence of chicago and detroit techno lingers on the backseat in this six-minute joy-ride of sprawling atmospheric electronica. on the flipside, snake amply showcases a different, more collaborative side to acid washed. berlin based newcomer, barbara panther, catches the eye with a sultry vocal performance with a sting in the tail. equally adept at providing softness, her dynamism shimmers alongside the deft production. as per usual, record makers have assembled a stellar remix package. put in the hands of blackstrobe, the measured quality of general motors, detroit, america finds itself infused with a tension that thrills and flickers with a brooding energy that belongs on the dancefloor. gavin russom (dfa) calms the restless pulse at the heart of snake, evoking the aztec spirit of dj rolando before overdrawn arpeggiated solos are used to disrupt with pleasing effect.

tokyos kez yms follow up to his maiden yore ep, city soul, opts for a more pronounced party vibe, as evidenced by the plenitude of voices that repeatedly pop up during butterflys four deep house tracks. the material sounds of japanese producer kazuki yamaguchi puts a clubby spirit to this ep. propelled by a beautifully warm and soulful bass pulse, inner city funk grooves mightily for five blissful minutes, its rhythm bolstered by the crisp snap of the snare, the funky wah wah of an electric guitar, and the occasional interjection of a synthesizer melody. bridge to bridge quickly charts its own percolating course with the addition of a stepping disco house pulse and a male voices sleepy, off handed musings. bringing the lights down for a romantic make-out session, the sexy low tide chills the pace slightly so that spent dancers can catch their breath and replenish themselves before the next go-round. of the four tracks, the title cut grooves most powerfully in merging a rambunctious broken beat drum attack with an equally driving bass line and manic electric guitar soloing. play these jams loud.

reaching back through time to lay hands in the forges of metal, nycs children riff out the present with their debut, hard times hanging at the end of the world. formed through jam sessions by guitarists skyler spohn, jonny rad ollsin (formerly of vancouvers s.t.r.e.e.t.s.), and drummer adam bennati (of early man), the group laid waste to clubs in and around the city beginning in late 2006, and have kept shredding onward. tradition meets stamina head on throughout hard times six massive tracks. with intricate, narrative dual guitar work and a frenzied, wired demeanor children bring it all together: thrash advancements, serious girth, familiar passages crosscut with relentless speed, a formidable edge, and self proclaimed spiritual conspiracy party riffs.

>seleccion natural< is a project made by the cream of spanish techno, this four part work has seen the light on different labels and now its time for warm up.
oscar mulero delivers the original parts and version for this tune, reworked and revisited by the rest of the partners in crime: christian wunsch, exium and reeko, each one giving their own vision on the noises made by oscar.
original mix kicks off with broken rhythms, crunchy and industrial like, with a heavy synth line approaching till sweeping drones and abstract textures bring to an epic breakdown that will sure destroy more than one bass speaker. another energetic piece of intelligent dance floor techno.
wunschs work is more direct and 4x4 based, taking the synth line from the original and adding detroit flavoured stabs and sharp claps to make a massive techno tool.
exium offers a completely different vision, using the drones and textures as starring, plus arpeggiated synths and baroque percussions fills the arrangement. energy is the word for this remake.
closing release reekos version recreate the spirit of the original, with broken drums again, using the synths on a clever way, extending the arrangement longer on an epic development till the bass drum comes in after 3 minutes of metallic madness. the ultimate release of a series on the most eclectic way. absolute quality.

superb vinyl feeling uhr für den arm. sehr stylisch trage den vinyl spirit von flüd clocks

roughly translated, hasta el fin means >the very last number of the night<, appropriate when you consider this is gigolos final release of 2009. the a&r process at gigolo is a constant and very simple formula! if hell likes it, plays it and gets a good reaction from the crowd then it needs to come out on his record label! no other record fits the criteria more the >hasta el fin<. this is a record that featured heavily in hells festivals and club sets and was played at the end of every after-hour he found himself. but its beginning is a little less finite.
the genesis came late last year when oliver ton invited various musicians for a jamming session. in the spirit of some masterful moments in music oliver ton and production partner ronald christoph captured something unique sounding with a dance record built largely around a vocal, guitar and piano performance. it was immediately signed to berlin based white records and assigned the fitting cat. no. of white999!!!
hell, an early supporter of both the record and label was smitten, personally requesting the license for gigolo. once this was granted he approached tony lionni for a remix. for many djs, including hell, tony lionnis >found a place< is without doubt one of the biggest records of 2009. so combining the talents of these two artists would appear to be a no brainer, and the results speak volumes. taking the vocal hook, layering it over a tough piano stab and italo style disco rhythm is the order of the day. as we approach the end of another decade for gigolo and the first of new millennium we are proud to present our last number of the 2009!

ultraphat wonky hardtechno, special versions of technotronics >get up< and nirvanas > smells like teen spirit<

after our highly acclaimed release with john beltran and convextion, we continue within the detroit techno spirit, although updated to todays sound.
conforce is the moniker of a 22 year old bloke from the island of terschelling in the netherlands. he is currently living in the city of leeuwarden where he works as an audiovisual designer. at the end of 2007 rush hour released his first 12 inch >our concern<, which got big support from people like josh wink, rolando, derrick may and laurent garnier. >junction< followed in 2008, with again raving feedback. to quote resident advisor: >quite simply he s a rising star<. now there are 4 amazing tracks from him on curle, hope you like em as much as we do!

creeping wave is xpansul and sweeter beat. three tracks of modern techno grooves. title cut is a monster gallop of bleeps and synth tweaks. strady bass assault! sweeter beat, aka roberto melero, is one of those djs that first started playing electronic sounds with an electro / techno root in madrid, he has played in some of the most important clubs in madrid, like voltereta or soma experimental club, and after nearly 20 years behind the decks, his sound is definitely influenced by the e.b.m. sound, funk, techno and electro from detroit to miami, and the good old rave spirit.

>die faser< is starting. the 1st 12inch part of cio d or album appears to our senses. this release is all about >goldbrokat<. starting with a wonderful ambient intro track called >zellulose< this one forecast the arrival of an marvelous prologue release – cios work is the musical interpretation of her personal sound pasion: deepest and bass enriched synth structures build a phantastic world of liquid and transparent sound relives. the b-side fulfils the promise with additional explanations from donato dozzy, dawdling and rapid. donatos picture follows the spirit of cios music and deliever a awesome ambient and techno remixe of >goldbrokat<. this release opens a series of 3 individual eps with great remixers. consume in club environment mandatory!

home taping is killing music is a fresh new imprint that is all about a return to house music. producer of the moment the revenge (instruments of rapture/jisco music) kicks things off for the label in fine style with the stunning >forever in their debt<. a homage to the house producers that have influenced them and the artists whose samples have continued to drive house music forward expertly channeling the spirit of early chicago warehouse music, but with a modern production twist that truly captures that classic sound, but packs enough punch to wipe the floor with most of its peers. on the flip, maverick producer and dj red rack em (tirk/untracked/deep freeze) takes the track on a road trip to detroit, and produces a deep, moody and atmospheric version which brings to mind the work of pepe bradock and theo parrish. two sides, two flavours. both 100% house

every new record from mlz doesnt quite fit in with the one that preceded it, something thats doubly true for this new release.
>one cycle< on the a-side is probably the most fierce, stripped and relentless thing ever released by modern love, a classic reduction that rotates into a frenzied crescendo of panning stabs and a washed out, chugging backbone that doesnt let-up throughout its 7 minute duration.
the flipside offers up something else entirely, a remix for hitherto unknown operator dj ghosthunter, a shady character not quite ready to unmask himself. mlzs remix offers a dank and obliterated house configuration, guided by the spirit of theo parrish and kdj.

once again another masterpiece from the dynamic reflection squad in your face! this time the spanish hermanos exium are responsible to represent the fourth coming release!
they smash down the door with the title track , >labyrinth<, a massive dancefloor killer with a big hit potential! with this track exium brings up oldschool memories with influences of their modern sound. this is exium at his best!
on the flipside, paul boex, mr. labelboss himself and his partner in crime marco rane, make their debut on the label with a soulfull remix of this original. with impressive releases on arms and naked lunch these guys prove once again that they are capable of bringin quality stuff to the floor. on the b2 exium comes up with a highly intelligent broken beat tune, called >plankton<. dave clarke already played this in his weekly >white noise< radioshow. big support!
once again an amazing 4th release from the dynamic reflection squad, let s pray for more of this pure quality stuff and keep our eyes on the the future. the scene need more labels like this which reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come.
dynamic reflection will represent only the true spirit of pure techno, they will put only the quality stuff back on the dancefloor!

diametric is a new glasgow based record label which aims to put the word underground back into electronic music and give back something special to the techno and electro community. the label is strictly vinyl only. each release will be very limited and packaged by hand to give the label a personal approach for all true underground techno heads out there that still appreciate the spirit of true techno and electro.
the first release is a dream come true project for us, as we are proud to present a 12 inch by detroit legend optic nerve aka keith tucker, part of the famous electro duo aux88. keith is recording under several monikers such as optic nerve, k-1 or alien fm since the very early nineties and has built his own unique style of electro and techno music out of detroit. the >reassimilation ep< showcases keith at his best, deep driving techno with that extra bit of funk that most of todays productions are missing. we are very sure these tracks will devastate the dancefloors.
get reassimilated!

passionate, uncompromising, resolutely underground. a few words to describe the work and career to date of swedens finest real techno exponent, grovskopa. masterminding two high-calibre labels with frequent appearances on other imprints of repute, whilst giving a voice to the techno community through the nursery forum, he is clearly one of the harder working producers around. >make tomorrow< is the next chapter in his tale for the label, following the hotly anticipated and well received prologue of sect 2. >atopic< creates dense and intimate atmospheres, overlaid with a reflective, introspective key structure, culminating in the most poignant & moving of melodic sequences. >skinstrumental< bridges the void between tracks, speaks of the space between stars as our minds turn to thoughts of galaxies and nebulae, the spirit of detroit radiating like a supernova.>the fierce hug< completes the aural triptych, by contrast offering a more upbeat, playful yet no less desirable option for the more creatively diverse techno mix
