supported by richie hawtin, tiefschwarz, loco dice, miss kittin , jussi pekka & many others!! again providing you with two new high quality techno tunes. on the a side we present you the tune: >tuna belly< , which is taken from the forthcoming full lenght, >martinez< album on re:connected, due for release later this year. the track starts off with a pounding deep kick-drum and a heavey roland sh-101 baseline. quickly after some heavey snares, claps and some underwaterish bubble sounds enter onto the groove and the track is steady rolling towards its peak break down. the baseline is filtered and tweaked through layers of efx into just a high pitched noise that is just on the edge of getting too much and right at that time it sweeps back into the full groove with a slaming hihat to lift the track even more. >tuna belly< is one of those track that definitely will make you go crazy on the dance floor in the late hours

incl remixes by matt tolfrey(crosstown rebels/perc trax and craig sylvester aka inxec(contexterrior). >tewa< is a delicate cool house track complete with soft melodic tones and a swingin groove. resonant thips hollow the beats and bass rolls steady. remix kicks up the pulse with a looping bass groove. competing synths climb between each side joining rubberizing effects and white noise envelopes. co-producing by alexi delano

madnurse is back with some great techousy tracks. almost all labels changed their plans and switched over to another style of music. but madnurse sticks to its original flavor. funky techouse with a twist. the original track is by alexander koning and has a more progressive techno feel. while the rmx by mark antonio is straight up funkiness which can be best compared to the new danilo vigorito and rino cerrone stuff. the warren fellow rmx is a steady builder that, wrecks up the dancefloor after the break

brill deep minimal detroit techno (dub) a la hardwax / basic channel... b2 track >minus< is actually a re-release from the 1998 >ll001< single, long out of print. since there was a steady (nearly monthly) request to make this track available again, it has been remastered and included to match the other tracks on this single. the aim of this release is to prove that a certain approach to composing and sequencing with particular sound can end in a timeless production. at the end of this process it should be standing against the times, playable in 1989, 1997, 2007 or still in 2020. individual production methods or media stay behind, as the artistic vision of shaping and mastering the sound come thru. already playing on heavy rotation in berlins clubs by local djs who got whitelabels or cdrs, this 12inch will once more become a classic to people who dont look for hype or trendy fashion but lasting sound quality.

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.

something slightly different perhaps, but probably even more cutting edge and effective. from definition records we present christian fischer. he is probably one of the most open-minded techno artists around judging his numerous releases which covers just about all aspects of techno music. miracle places is solid stomper with electroid influences and dreamy vocals. this would definitely not be misplaced in a dj hell or terence fixmer set. the b-side is a collaboration between fischer and newcomer the ascent. this results in a dark driven and steady stepper with freaky melody. a solid b-side track for the little hours accompanied by smokemachines in full throttle and full on strobe-action

despite of the untrendy moment for breakbeat, italy and mantra breaks remain steady purveyors of quality beats, new talents, and dirty club fun. mowgli comes from belluno but lives and regularly spin fresh beats in bologna. after a few drum & bass productions mowgli moved to breakbeats and hip hop influenced house beats that really work on the dancefloor!the debut on mantra breaks, just be and mowgli comes to town, can be described as the italian answer to the dirty sound switch/jesse rose/solid groove developed in the last months, they fit into breaks but they are not real breaks

again the boys of slam mode are back in the house and this one is no less slammin. >neveah< is a mish mash of volatile electronic percussion that creates nothing less than so nic mayhem. this mayhem expands riding steady underneath melodic yet techy strings. >afuera de sitio< departs through endless atmospheric melodies and piercing synth lines. the rapis linear movement transfers the pulsing microrhythms and hybrid sub bass into the void. another solid outing for fans of deep techy yet soulful and organic releases ala ame >rej< and the new flavors being pushed by claussell and francois k

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

a new drift is emerging from america and she s in the middle of it: kate iwanowicz aka miskate is not only co-founder of the highly respected foundsound-label from philadelphia, but also a high-definition producer in its own right. after several ep s on her s and others labels like microcosm records she now pays a visit to karloff to expand her boundaries and fuelling the eclectic cut-up-funk she s already known for with solid, defined beats, boosting the focus on the dancefloor as another target to be aimed at. however the steady drive obtains the required substance through interspersed well-crafted distractions like filleted choirs and hymnal strings, constantly winding through the structure and blazing it up. brilliantly reflective and ecstatic at the same time this record gives you more than just a seasonal tempest in a teapot

subset is the featured artist for the 17th greyscale full-length. named >this quiet earth<, this 9 track heavyweight of dubby goodness offers a consistent variety of spatialness while the atmosphere clearly surrounds you with its innate charm. heavy chords are consistent characteristic here while the beats are strong and favor more of a steady low tempo. tracks like >the rivers are dry< and >trippy specs< are soaked in reverb with an old skool dub sound while >the community of worlds< and >two halves< are another pair of deep-seated scenic heaters. the steady static over many tracks give off a language of communication to the listener that balances the organic elements extremely well. >lucys sky dreams< is not unlike a classic echospace track with tremendous depth that has you on the edge of your seat. a gentle album across the board that still has a reserved serious tone to it. another fine addition to the camp, subsets debut with us is a memorable one.

in the mid 90s, while playing in bands, max wŸrden started to record ideas on 4-track tapes. amongst other instruments the guitar was his favourite. since then the guitar is a steady constant during his sound production. predominantly he utilizes the intrument in experimental ways: he sticks screws and metal pieces between the strings or let s marbles run down the guitar neck, triggering a feedback, which becomes the foundation of a track. on his album momentum he went beyond the guitar, but he placed the intrument into focus of the production. max creates energyladen and experimental ambient music that always aims for what genre listeners looking for: the ultimate relaxation moment. the tracks are carried by slowly building string-generated sounds. live recordings and complex arrangements find a delicate symbiosis of ambient and strings.
