second album

we feel very honored to present our new baby rue de plaisance-re issue to the world. we are starting this project to re-release some of our favorite tracks from back in the days, as we believe they need to be made known to the new and upcoming generation. these are our rootz. for our first opus we have invited from the uk the infamous duo >idjut boys< who surely have much to offer with over 20 years of releasing contemporary dance music all over the globe. for our first issue we chose their track >not reggae< supported by forward thinking mixes by varoslav and david k who pushed those classics to another level. we hope, all of you, will enjoy this new project as much as we do. quality timeless music on vinyl...

rockstrohs track licht in 2009 was certainly one of the most striking club tracks. the unusual combination of previously german vocal and smooth house beats made it at once, not in the top 5 of all dance charts but also brought every floor - the club until the metropolitan area - to the quake. the follow up single tanzen was there to seamlessly and made again for many happy faces in the club - not only for ladies. just in time for the new year rockstroh starts the next rocket. wolke 7 will again reach the peak position of the charts with remix support of finger and kadel remix and alex gap remix

on august 29, 2009 around 10.000 hardcore heads gathered in and around the turbinenhallen (oberhausen, germany) for the biggest earthquake event ever! now u.h.m. presents the official vinyl sampler release for this major event in the line of the rave itself all styles are represented on this slammin 12 inch, so we re going from mainstream hardcore to raw industrial sounds.all this wicked stuff is brought by the top hardcore artists tieum (aftermatch rec.), kristof & na-goyah (coolman records), triax (the rising star of u.h.m.) and mr. sinster (the other rising star of u.h.m.) all tunes rock like crazy and will cause total mayhem on the local hardcore floors!excellent e.p. which is another u.h.m. must-have for all those hardcore boys & girls out there, time to do some speaker damaging!

sam ball returns with the tenth release on his ever-successful i-fi music with 2 slices of tech house and techno to suit the heads. with consistent support from carl cox, laurent garnier, joris voorn, john digweed, nic fanciulli and paul woolford, sam has proved consistency and an ear to make the dance floor quake. this next instalment compliments the floor with kamikaze aimed directly for the big rooms and floors, a definitive peak record with a building loop reaching a devastating crescendo. the flipside mad dash is a much more tech house affair which grooves from start to finish and is a definite outdoor summer record. both are destined to move all floors nodding heavily at the underground, and as sam has proved as an accomplished producer and dj that there is defiantly groove left in the music.

once upon a time there was the wilderness ep part 1. what follows is the second band of this futuresque music fairy tail-continuing the journey through the dark forests and gardens of the cheapers in which the >hunter< on a1 claimes his territory and eagerly is looking out for bass-devils in heat. thereby the fun drunken rifleman shoots down the rave-bird and even a flock of house-sparrows are being stampeded into the underwood. on the other side of the forest play the busy intricate bees in the vaults of the >fortress< on its mystical fantasy plug ins and a bewiched quake is coming through the deep b1- cracks until the magic tree of dreams starts to flourish

exciting news from the re-activated hairy claw label that has been lying dormant for a while. as you know, bears shouldnt be taken for granted when sleeping and this one has awaken to devastating effect. laj & quakerman have been dormant (remember what we said about sleeping bears?!) since 2002 and many fans of their tracks on fiasco and the idjut boys u-star will be very excited to hear of thismonster on hairy claw. two tracks entitled >vinyl frontier< and >lust in space< are sure to get plays from the widest spectrum of djs while keeping their old fanbase intact. live drum rhythms, bleeps, moody synths and latino marracas…i can see this freakin out alot of bunnies! its a space party for future bears on a mission to jack. raj gupta (for it is he) has released under several guises for labels as respected as nuphonic, session, noid, r&s, strutt, mr bongo…the list goes on… we will tell you more nearer release date but for now… grrrr!!!!! roooaaarrgghhh!!
