brilliant detroit piano house nuggets - dj john collins edits....features productions from mad mike banks

this is the first part (of four) of the much anticipated reissue series of drexciya s early catalogue, marking 20 years since the release of their first ep deep sea dweller , and 10 years since their final album grava 4 . one of the most influential techno acts ever, and part of the heritage of detroits underground resistance, drexciya explored techno like no-one else before: raw and uncompromising music that reflected the harsh environment of the city where drexciya was conceived, with a mythical approach that only added to their cult appeal. drexciya arguably stands for the darker side of techno and electro, made not only for the club scene, but a further development of the music as an expression and extension of the mind. journey of the deep sea dweller is a near-complete collection of their early works, released in four parts, with all audio remastered from the original master tapes. since the original releases have such a strong character and stand on their own, these reissue can never recreate the magic of those originals. instead, clone have stirred up the catalogue, taking tracks out of their original context, giving the committed fan a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of drexciya.

housemeister is back with his big new single >weird friends<! with us-indie-rapper p.o.s spittin the truth on the mic and housis signature heavy beats, this one is a no brainer. the acid-guitar line weaving its way into your brain and huge drum fills keeping things interesting, this effort is sure to stand out in any set! >weird friends< remixes from so hot twr72 who deliver a solid tech-dub, obi blanche who adds a funky live bass ala cypress hill meets smith n hack and our favourite brazilians mixhell deliver a tropical disco-rave mix with epic drumfills by hero iggor cavalera. finally and not to forget on this weird single release >hirschkeule<, the original version taken from housemeisters new album >music is awesome< - out now!

spezial price!!! the creative hub of taron-trekka, as well as dj team and beat crafter furnishes an individual experience of togetherness, a complete understanding on a deeper level. they have this primal groove, around which everything rotates, internalized. they carry this groove with their own signature out into the world. this raw groove diamond is constantly sharpened without being completely polished on all facets. on the new fat release they stand for an electric-infected development, that allows only the solution to seep in: deep-in-the-peak! thereby the kraken clutches fiercely to the coral reefs of the soul. their vision of a living sound can thereby sometimes morph precipitously into a technoid, housy, fine-spirited sort and then at once jazzy. the required resolve as it pertains to the dance floor is hardly missed from taron-trekka. the desire-principle and body language mimic are most definitely functional. the big bang doesnt explode in the space, but rather in the heart. as a special treat, the fellas adorn the cover of their 12-inch from the illustrator, designer and photographer tine drefahl (http://www. tinedrefahl.com). thus is presented from freude am tanzen a worthy conclusion to a sometimes turbulent jubilee year, a complete package of artistic expression in tone and picture that is at home both on the mantel as well as the turntables.

new label supafrico kicks off with a fantastic sampler 12 inch ep that unearths four stunning funky afro rarities from the vaults. first up is an awesome extended edit of hararis classic >party<, a floor-filling cosmic groover with killer vocals from 1980. next up are the wonderful lijadu sisters with their beautiful duet harmonies. featured here is >not any longer<, one of the stand outs from their uber rare nigerian only lp >horizon unlimited<. side b features the mega obscure 12 inch version of eko roosevelts breathtaking afro disco odyssey >kilimandjaro my home< followed by ezy & isaacs >take off<, an incredible afro funk work out taken from their impossible to find 1974 lp >soul rock<, one of the the holy grails of the afro genre. with all tracks lovingly remastered, this is a must for anyone with a taste for those amazing afro grooves - wonderful stuff.

the wörld is ours is the twentieth album by british rock band motörhead, first released on 14 december 2010.

limited restock on this 2002 house-gem from the ur camp.

after the massive >pressure< mixes were released in august, vince watson keeps up the momentum with an absolute monster and two class a artists on remix duty - dj rolando and paul woolford. >sequential< is one of those tracks that make your hair stand up just before you run to the dj booth to find out what it is. overall this is an outstanding package and expect to hear >sequential< in every main room in the very near future. oh…, and dont worry, you will know it when you hear it.

the final of four in the inertia series with four new exclusive techno tracks. the final hurrah for ann aimees inertia compilation sees four modern techno heavyweights add their exclusive sounds to the fold. recent album stars skudge are as economical yet efficient as youd expect with their booming >pollution<, before conforce designs yet more lush sounds with his deep technoid cut >when it appeared<. restless romainian cosmin trg confounds expectationst again with his rusty, rolling cut >plaisir interdit< before fachwerk co-founder sascha rydell gets a little spaced out on his kinetic and melancholic effort, >rainy days<. stand out on its own, but peerless when paired with the other three parts, inertia 4 ends a special project indeed.

alex flatners circle recordings is building another bridge to berlin and welcomes rene onze to debut on his mannheim based imprint. known already for his output on areal, his involvement and appearance in berlin calling and most notably for heating up the concerts of the paul kalkbrenner tour 2011 as the official warm up act, onze s flip a switch is an emotional, subtle melodic piece of modern dance electronica. something you will likely give a well-considered play, as its undeniable epic deepness will stand out, regardless of whether its being played on an afterhour, open air, in a warm up session or a prime time set.
remix duties go to cocoon resident skai vs. joel armstrong, kanzleramt techno legend alexander kowalski, who is adding more roughness and energy to the original vibe and last but not least deep circus label owner and blufin artist benny grauer.

danilo schneider publishes on his label enough! the ep - short image in my brain-.
two esthetical and expressive sounding tracks, which are clear and expressing on the same time and always up for surprise.
with -short image in my brain - danilo is wraping us in percussive sounds which are rounded up by a tribal beat that doesnt let you stand still. the second track - edit suite - is so deep and flashy, almost mystical arranged where the sounds gear into each other and give the whole track a clear signature.
the two artists jakob seidensticker and bardia salour take care of a wonderful and fabulous background of this ep. they give the original track - short image in my brain - a new sound. with dedication and passion this remix is a treat for your ears just from the beginning. bounded on the track you will absorb every sound and let yourself drift. another wonderful vinyl extraction presented by enough!

glass tear groove is the new concept release from drum machine rookie, inkswel. a follow up to the random yet bubbling >get to my party< release, this ep cohesively mashes together drum machine sounds and new wave funk tendencies. the title track featuring vocal funkster zackey force funk (baron zen/jellphonic/mike gao) brings forth a timeless love song vibe into inkswels popping and locking approach to song composition. >good times< is inkswels ode to post disco and pre house sounds, fuzzy yamaha synth stabs and watery chords. backed with the bonus beat vibe of >whos fooling who<, a stand alone banger for beat heads and party animals. also packaged with stellar remix work from ppu/superior elevation s tom noble aka disco tom.

nobody does it like gamm does it! the first in a series of two eps from dj will-rock.
its another heavyweight 4 tracker of dancefloor dynamite, upended and amended for maximum impact where it counts from deftly executed hip hop blends to surefire disco rewires, its all 100% proof!

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

local actions seventh vinyl release is the official follow-up to t. williams and terri walkers 2010 anthem >heartbeat<, and comprises three of t. williams heaviest instrumental tracks to date. >break broke< is the sound of williams getting darker, with synths that glow like an overcooked power grid and one of the most ruff-neck drops you will hear anywhere this year. >go in< is for the djs, a palette cleanser that is tailor-made to mix long and deep, but its >analog tour< that is arguably this records stand-out – opening with a two-and-a-half minute intro of acid ambience, electro claps and super-heavy 808 kicks, and climaxing as a full-on 303 hydra.

after two buzzing releases, senzen is quickly getting recognition it deserves. but third time is the charm, right? well, at least in this case. senzen 3 title track, >gonna b<, is based on studio sessions of label boss benno blome together with his long time friend armin engel, who has worked on projects with fela kutis band rhythm taxi & jimi tenor, and had a show on jazzradio berlin for years. the track itself has influences from both producers. tech house meets jazz, what a fascinating concept! freestyle drumming, keyboard jams and effects tied together, creating an original approach to club music. remixers of >gonna b<, marcin czubala (mobilee) and jin choi (contexterrior, private gold, archipel), are two of the hottest producers at the moment. after his excellent streak of releases on mobilee, marcin makes an outstanding debut on senzen and delivers a deeply rooted house remix concentrating on tiny tweaks and variations while carrying them solidly throughout the track. jin, on the other hand, doesn’t let functionality stand in the spotlight of his remix. his music is supposed to touch emotionally and to move the head and the body - and believe me, it does!

david moleon is an expert dj and producer with 13 years of experience. it is common to see david share line ups with big names like dj pepo and cristian varela, who praise his immense creativity and talent as a producer. david has a special knack for producing hit tracks that have become essential parts of the sessions of europes most popular artists, including ben sims, pepo, cristian varela, robert natus, eric sneo, dj murphy, dj link, cesar almena and nuke amongst others. both his dj sets on 3 turntables and his live-acts are examples of high-quality djing, technical ability and force, making him a well-rounded dj, and particularly the stand-out artist from the south of spain.with over 50 records in the market, on labels such as patterns, submission, cobra, soul access, sp series, adult, etc. david has become the most prolific techno producer in spain. in europe, he is know as la joya espanola (the spanish jewel).

taken from their forthcoming debut album, the spellbinding >alive in us<, darkness falls announces their next single, the melancholic and mysterious >the void<. featuring the heartwarming tones of lead singer josephine philip, who co-writes with band partner ina lindgreen, the whole album was produced by leading danish composer and recording artist anders trentemøller. as we look forward to the albums release, the catchy, up-beat yet mysterious charm of >the void< confirms that the groups stand-out sound is set for big things. to be split between both 12 inch and 7 inch, theres a whole host of special remixes to whet our appetites for the long-player, which will be released later this year. remixes come from trentemøller himself, alongside clueless, lightbluemover vs. black light smoker, and terje bakke.

mr raoul k and baobab secret take the next step and put out new remixes of >le karantkatrieme peul<. prisme are a belgian duo (nicolas pepinster and yves theys) who started to produce their own material in 2010. they liked the title track so much that they remixed it and sent the result to mr raoul k who instantly fell in love with the melodic and laid back approach they took on it. this lush piece makes a perfect entry into a long night out, promising that every piece will fall into place. the other production crew featured on this release are the iklawa brothers (mzwandile nxasana and sandile magwaza) who run their own label in durban, south africa. they are big fans of mr raoul ks work and have been dropping his tunes in their sets on a regular basis. their remix is a dark, afrobeat driven tune that takes the listener on a long trip into a gloomy world full of surprising musical twists, dramatic changes of mood and impressing string sounds. the last remix is done by mr raoul k himself. he shows a new side of his musical skills. resulting in an epic track that seems to dance on tiptoes around a giant beast. one small step. hesitate. check carefully what happens. do not disturb. just watch in astonishment how it slowly awakes and stretches out to its full glory. a track that is full of hope, but reminds us to keep our feet to the ground to provide a solid stand.

up next on kant recordings is the swedish producer pehr genlogue. from the moment we first heard the demo of >pincer movement<, we knew that the track was special. with its incredible sound of depth defying bass, pulsing synths and dramatic breaks, help it stand out from the crowd. on the remix front we have brought in some of the swedish techno elite.
agaric, who is frantically busy in the aftermath of his highly respected album on ovum, delivers and arena shattering remix. nima khak (drumcode/truesoul) takes the original on a more thought provoking, deeper journey. and to round out this release we have the swedish minimalistic masters, kretipleti, who twist things up and take it dark.

one of the stand out moments and most in demand club tracks from the simon baker >traces< album returns in remixed form, alongside the vinyl edit of simons original. its taken us a while to get pokerflat head honcho and all round german house music legend steve bug on board for a remix, but its worth the wait as he delivers a lesson in refined, deep house music. next up burnski and robert james deliver a mammoth, hypnotic jam that twists and turns for 10 minutes and still leaves you wanting more.

some may have thought the trail was cold, but battant (chloe raunet and joel dever) have just been running as far as they can. not running away from something, just keeping on moving. from the headless wave of their first lp, towards the strange shores of their second album, as i ride with no horse that is produced by its a fine line (aka ivan smagghe & tim paris) and will be released worldwide in october 2011. first glimpse: shutter. this is one of the many places where they now stand. a dry, sparse yet catchy romp. on their own edge (between early cure and meth country if you need ready made tags), electronics still dance in the corner, reigned in by the sharp its a fine line (tim paris & ivan smagghe) production. the live take of clearcut is what it says. ghosts in the machines, spookiness never in vain, this is a real song. the idea of a cover of westbam and nenas classic old school, baby had been in the mind of the team for a while. this track is a part of our history. not an easy tackle but we like to think they have made the anthem theirs. going beyond the anecdote, here is a seriously rocking wink with early support from optimo, james holden, tiga, chloe and more.

dachshund is a living example of a musician who doesnt take himself too seriously: his lively productions, where his passion for experimentation in rhythm and sound are clearly evident, stand out as a welcome departure from the sterile work of so many other heads in the scene. besides humor, an easy-going jamaican feeling characterizes his sets and tracks: the swiss dj, producer and label owner has his musical roots in reggae, which he has followed all the way to the sunny caribbean. no wonder then, that we can hear the dub influence in his current musical output. true to form, dachshund presents his latest release on the berlin record label, highgrade records, where the beats will blister through the speakers in unexpected combinations and grooves. around every corner there seems to lurk a new mad idea or sound sequence from dachshund, who leads his listeners equally as he misleads them on the dancefloor. with a sly musical wink, he offers us three tracks >shall we<, >soul free< and >tell me< produced with sophistication and elegance. these tunes switch almost imperceptibly into a grooving mind-trip that perfectly fits the title of the ep. this is the equivalent of a relaxing invitation to dance: >shall we<? … but, of course!

delivered here is phillip charles >controlled input< ep. a collection of phillips music as orignal as it is danceable. while the tracks contain unifying elements, they each stand very clearly apart in their own sound. as we move towards 2011 reference points of mathew jonson, carl craig and redshape spring to mind, but make no mistake... this release is in a sonic space all its own. a true gem for lovers of forward thinking techno and house.

terry francis... a perennial focal point of the tech-house sound in its purest form. a sound of detroit-inspired melodies and hypnotic bass lines impossible to resist. a sound never losing its purpose on the dance floor. these two tracks are signposts for the genre and stand out as two of terrys best to this day.

**vinyl only release - 500 hand stamped & numbered copies** , support by: nina kraviz, levon vincent, dj qu, jus ed and many more. the cherry on the cake is a stand out remix from patrice scott. there will be no repress and these tracks will not appear on any download stores! the third tsuba limited 12 inch sees tazz (underground quality) team up with giovanni for >welcome to dub<, a journey into the dubbier realms of house centering around a swirling melodic riff and raw analogue production

big with timo maas, reboot, butch, paco osuna, hermanez and many more. coeur de lion is a deep techno and mental track using dark voices to give a kind of religious atmosphere. on the remix the cadenza artist salvatore freda, and his friend yvan genkins, inject a dose of percus and synths which give another dimension to the original and should push it to the top. on the flip the original of stand is another driving number. deep with some acid touches using pads to give a floating sensations before sticking us on the dancefloor with dark speaks. the desolat artist m.in gives more muscles and groove to the original using his talent to deliver a dancefloor hits.

such an intense, variegated, and singularly saccharin sound can only come from the mind of someone whos in love with life and music. its what puppy love sounds like for our generation. following the paul woolford remix of t. williams and terri walkers heartbeat comes local action 006, the first 12inch release by an amazing new artist from manchester, uk, called damu. after this, hes got material penciled in for blackdowns keysound label and more. the title track, a stand-out from girl units xlr8r podcast last year, is one of the best tunes weve put out yet, full of colour with just the right amount of lushness to it. while a lot of uk dance music right now seems to use colourful synths in an unimaginative way, damus drip, glow and fizz at every turn in the same way that ill blu or funkystepz do. listening to mermaids like diving head-first into a lagoon. after that youve got three more killers: the iron assault of >beat of zen< and the few-more-intense >sequinny<, plus a ‘beat of zen remix by chicago juke titans dj rashad and dj earl. early support comes from lv, girl unit, sinden, brodinski, starkey and more

norm talley is delivering some heat on delano smiths mixmode records! norm, known for his awesome tracks on trackmode, third ear and the detroit beatdown series, drops 4 dope detroit house tracks with different vibes! powder and more powder are the peak hour house tracks with classic chords and a steady uptempo groove. then we got two beatdown tracks lost and private party that both stand out.

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

the still sound remix 12 inch sees one of the stand out tracks from toro y mois critically acclaimed sophomore album get a reworking from the electronic mastermind that is toby tobias. on the flip side we hear work from a new name, voodoo bear aka khaled bourguig, a french graphic design student who started making music 6 years ago. initially inspired by hip hop, khaleds voodoo bear project blurs the line between electronic and organic music.

fantastic limited reissue of this amazing self-titled afro-funk lp from ghanaian singing and percussion star sidiku buari. originally released in 1975, this super-rare album features an all-star cast of top funk instrumentalists playing alongside buari and boy does it show! blending heavy african rhythms with funky disco grooves, the arrangements and the playing are incredibly tight and the album is chock-full of killer tracks including advice from father (sampled by everyone from kenny dope to groove armada) and ku ka maria with its intense funky breaks and awesome drumming from legend bernard ‘pretty’ purdie, which made these tracks huge on the b-boy/breaking scene also. other stand-out tracks include the wonderful disco-tinged afro monsters karam bani and iro le pa plus the cool laidback groove of them yebtheget. top class!

pional alias miguel barros ist wohl spanien am besten gehütetes geheimnis in sachen elektronischer musik. der junge multiinstrumentalist, der auch sein eigener sänger ist, eroberte die welt aus dem stand weg mit seiner debüt-maxi. die erschien auf dem in barcelona ansässigen, von seinem freund john talabot betriebenen label hivern discs. die drei tracks der >last house on the left ep< erforschen eine house-musik, die von krautrock, moodymann, miguel aguayo, caribou oder grizzly bear beeinflusst ist. mehr als nur empfehlenswert!

breakin bread continue to support the specialist soul and funk scene with a release from edenheight. they are not a new band, these guys have been gigging hard all over bristol and the south west, but it is their debut vinyl release. its not just another new funk offering, the band have a tightness from all the gigs and 2 superb female vocalists that make these tracks stand out from the pack.
edenheight are a deep-groovin and original outfit with a soulful urban sound. forged in bristol, their list of influences favour more percussive styles including afro, funk, hip hop + dub, and as such dance-ability is a precedent. this standard owes as much to an evolution in the citys underground live scene as to their appreciation of high energy musicianship and production.

the x-man has been locked away in the detroit psychiatric hospital for the last 30 years. as his release date drew near ppu had a moment to sit down and talk with the man behind the mask. ppu - how did you end up here? xman - my music style, often described as aggressive funk, was deemed by the state of michigan too mental for the listening public. ppu - what does the x stand for? xman - x is an executioner. ppu - what do you plan to do after your release? xman - i am here to eliminate everyone in funk.

limited to 500 copies on black 180-gram vinyl. includes album download code.

2017 repress, the r&b ep is a selection of ground breaking, genre blurring bootlegs / edits. these tracks continue our mission to change the way we dance, from the minimal 2-step to a much freakier marcy grind. all three cuts have been a major part of our dj sets over the past few tours and everything is dance-floor approved (in some cases even with sing-a-long). it is with great pleasure that we can share this with you for this limited edition pressing! extravaganza - a guaranteed >ladies-report-to-the-dancefloor-for-booty-shake< anthem, this tune tells the story of the romance/heartbreak from a one night stand. sex in the kitchen – over by the stove, put you on the counter by the buttered rolls… its rare to get into such fine details about the culinary arts while raving, and now this bass heavy edit done changed the game. dreams of tomorrow – take one colombian jam session, add a sprinkle of lee curtiss drums and a whole lot of lonnie liston smith and what do you get? mo money
