get ready for some heavy bass infusion. those who witnessed the infamous audio injection vs. drumcell collaborative 6 hour set at berghain in may could sense the raw and direct path of the uncompromising heavy bass-lines they walk on, yet they possess a subtle sensitivity making this audio experience a physical and mental journey at the same time. with his first ep on electric deluxe, audio injection captured this dark and raw spirit in a perfect way. his tracks move effortlessly from percussive high hat funk to heavy bass-line assault, call it techno coolness. all tracks are dancefloor focused, but contain a healthy dose of weirdness, giving the them longevity while still being functional, spot-on material for the floors typical for electric deluxe releases. the vinyl version of >operation a< is being accompanied by a none other than speedy j himself. the remix has his signature flow, shifting, rich soundscapes layered over a forward bassline sketch. music for minds in dark places.

tremsch & metlzer aka martin maier & daniel fuchs have created their own style of music which is based on new school techno house.&#8232,,it is hard to find out which kind of music exactly has influenced these artists but similar to piemont they are merely occupied by their own world of music in their heads.&#8232,,,,,we are sure they have never heard of such warp legends as >sweet exorcist still their 3 tracks carry that northern industrial flavour and combine it with funk.&#8232,,>20 toes< as well as >head games< perfectly transport this spirit, whereas -development- feels housier with samples of child vocals and cut up reverse sounds that create an semi-acoustic feeling.&#8232,,support comes through a remix by mbf core member piemont who have remixed >head games< and have created through that a fabulous rough and crazy chicago track, that holds all the experience piemont have gained through playing live.

in classical geometry, the triangle is the simplest polygon. the one which can be used to construct all other polygons. the root of them all. three points define a plane in space. thus resulting in the phenomenon that a tripod always has a safe and solid stand. three musicians teamed up to produce the triangle peul. in addition to the well known mr raoul k rollercoaster ride through moods from contemplation to euphoria, producing as part of a team adds a new dimension of dialog to his work. itÆs no longer just the communication between him and the audience, this time the communication that happened during the production process shines through. the fun, the deep concentration and the energy that everyone felt and committed is recognisable for the audience with ease. unsurprisingly, the triangle peul comes in three different mixes including a drum laden beatstramental for those who still like to mix.

michigan central station built in 1913 for the michigan central railroad, was detroit, michigans passenger rail depot from its opening in 1913 until the discontinuance of amtrak service on january 6, 1988. at the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world. the building, located in the corktown district of detroit still stands today, though it remains unoccupied. restoration projects and plans have gone as far as the negotiation process, but none have come to fruition. spread throughout the city of detroit and its surrounding metropolitan area, the decay of once magnificent buildings during the industrial revolution and automobile era now cast a shadow of despair on a once flourishing city. these monuments of achievement now lay barren and forsaken by city government. infrastructural restoration and city development are fundamental elements in detroits recovery, and the recovery of cities worldwide. it is time for revival in our cities, but first, in our souls. the michigan central station ep is a platform for this change.

what an absolute stormer, for those of you who have never heard this record, get ready to be blown away. initially out in 1992 inner citys pennies from heaven was just the most perfect house anthem, i think it was kevins tunnel mix which was the killer mix, here it has been strung out just a little by the slow to speak people. all the crucial elements are still there, amazing vocal, the most uplifting of pianos, ridiculously simple yet deadly bassline and fantastic crisp garage beats. really they dont get much better than this, watch em go on nye when you drop this. awesome!

kenton slash demon is indeed one of the most promising new talents out of denmark. the two guys who are also behind the much acclaimed indie-disco band when saints go machine and have gained massive attention with their ksd act, without releasing a lot of material. why? the answer is simple: all they do is just so good. their sound is both organic and futuristic, and their obvious skills take their productions further than the typical frame and dramaturgy of club a track. still 4/4 rhythmic - but with clever and super melodic bass lines and interesting breaks. >sun< is the first release in a ksd trilogy on tartelet called >schwarzchild trilogy< inspired by the elements that form our galaxy. >the sun< 12inch features a remix from the much hyped alan abrahams aka portable / bodycode, from portugal who made added vocals, deepness and classic mr. fingers juno-6 bass line - deep and clever.

for the 50th release creme goes back to its italo roots to release these two bombs. ofcourse the rotting corpse of italo has been desecrated endlessly over the last few years by predatory hipsters to gain scenepoints, but that doesnt mean there isnt still some joy to be found in the oversatured tearjerking cotton candy sound of true mediteranean peacockery. so it is with some smug gratification that we present to you gino felino. pure, uncut and real to the bone italo - definitely too late for the trend, but perhaps coming soon to an ipad near you. listen and learn, cause none of you clowns roll like the west coast rolls! comes in a ultra neat package!

the oh so secretive and elusive franc spangler provides his first full ep for delusions of grandeur having previously provided mixes for alpha child on dog03 as well as for jimpster on freerange. on our 11th release we are very happy to offer up two variations on forever and a day with the original providing a full length arrangement loaded with deep pads, fizzing synth lines and franc?s trademark disco inspired drums. forever and a dub runs with a similar vibe whilst opting for a more stripped back and rolling vibe. still a very deep and musical track but with some space for the drums and squarewave bassline to work their magic. the arrangement subtly builds with layering synths providing the dynamics and interest. flip over for open eyes which sees franc drop the bpm?s for a loping, looping, sun-soaked epic purpose built for vibe augmentation of your next bbq gig

hot on the heels of releases from edwin oosterwal and io (still available!), rejected ready themselves to drop their latest smash hit. one that we are certain is set to rule this summers dancefloors.

part 2 of the limited edition vinyl series for the >hi five mobilee< compilation is quite a contrast to its predecessor with more hip swingin housey vibes. moon harbours daniel stefanik first appeared on mobilee at the very early stages of the label, with his track >the bells< on the limited edition add-on release to pan-pots >obscenity< ep. back then his style was associated with old school sounds, detroit energy and chicago vibes, and his track for mobilee068 >tripiando los colores< shows that hes still rocking this to full effect. this is one for the summer! on the b-side of this release, label stalwart marcin czubala brings us >spinning la roulette<, which is sure to get the dance floor moving! straight in with a very funky bassline, playful percussion and hypnotic groove, it offers guaranteed fun on a plate. his recent release with hugo, zoo communale, stormed the charts and we hope you enjoy spinning la roulette in the same way!

nycs adultnapper hardly ever lets his foot off the gas… and this is no exception! straight back into the driving seat and ready to roll with his next ep for poker flat recordings, slowly is a typically spooked out 2 tracker from the east coasts master of the dark and funky arts…. lead track slowly is full of the type of crazy textural soundscapes that have become synonymous with adultnappers bass infected sound. winding, twirling cables and messed up electronic whir away in the background as a stoic kick-led percussion array works the funk. jazz influenced hooks, sultry vocals and horns-a-plenty, it all makes for an incredible workout! gold and forgetting is a touch more mysterious, with a floating chicago-esque synth theme at its tender heart. of course mr. napper still piles on the funk, and this amazing afterhours anthem to be wins us over hands down. emotional strings swathe by over a meandering 9 minutes of pure and precious metallic sheen

becoming real is a young producer residing in a forgotten suburbia, busy channeling his very own postapocalyptic vision of london. a spectre-like entity flitting between a range of electronic frequencies, his self-termed >ghost-step< sound is as much influenced by a conceptual future dystopia as by luminaries zomby & mount eerie. re-imagining the iciest of grime synths through a warped k records aesthetic, becoming real has forged a frozen universe that still retains an unequivocally human feel. charged with future-dread, this is music for seas drowned in oil, tar-coated forest landscapes, and a prophesised world of underwater clubs and haunted dancefloors. after a sold out debut white label release last year, becoming real is ready to emerge in 2010 with the release of >fast motion< / jens clock<, backed with a scratcha dva remix of fast motion.

theres quite a bit of talent scouting on this lil lovely compilation. keeping the deep edge, all 4 artists provide dope tunes for your summer nights (and days). up and coming uk producer nick lawson delivers some deep dirty and heavy beats stuff, just right for all the mcde lovers out there. if youre into smooth deep house with still enough drive to be played out then watch the space for the excellent sai from japan. on the flipside there iron curtis (with partner leaves), who has made a strong impression since his debut release on morris audio citysport (49). result: great releases on mule musique, hudd trax, and boe. and yes, a full new 12- on citysport is due soon! finishing off this compilation is mahone from berlin with a groovy tool that can be used...well.....-all night long-!

in the world of factory presets, default settings and copy-paste ethics, there are few artists that actually care to make a difference. and -who told you that?-, 29th release on warsaw recognition label, is certainly a voice to be heard. the title track is another subtle narrative from label boss jacek sienkiewicz. eerie chord and a solid, damp beat from the start are underpinned by sherds of dialogue - snippets of words and laughter keep coming back in the mix, providing some sort of uneasy commentary towards todays minimal house formula. but at some point the voices disappear - and then the tracks gently goes somewhere outside the boundaries of todays club music, somewhere otherworldly. this shift, albeit amazingly subtle, is a leap towards music free of any defined context, far beyond dancefloor and definitely original. if this sneak peak into the possible futures of manmachine induced visions is too much to handle, there is still the b-side of this release. two tracks here - both clocking around mere 5 minutes - are prime exercises in compact, clever, tight and efficient club tools. uplifting -cobalt drive- is bound to to be quoted and reworked into many forms of a late-night burner. patefon, on the other hand, is a peak-time stormer with its stuttering chords and moody samples, supposedly picked from some vintage shellac discs

mb elektronics is still one of the leading techno labels. marco proves again he s still on point with this excellent compilation, featuring tracks by the advent vs industrialyzer, marco bailey & tom hades, angstrom & aalberg and redhead!

mb elektronics is still one of the leading techno labels. marco proves again he s still on point with this excellent compilation, featuring tracks by joseph capriati, wehbba, loco & jam and marco bailey & tom hades!

go hiyama has always been a very interesting artist for me, ever since he emerged in 2002 on james ruskins coda label. both his musical & production style have changed a lot since then and i personally feel theres still no one out there who comes near to what he is doing. we planned on working together since a long time now and i am glad we finally made it work with this brilliant 4 tracker. no fillers. all 4 tracks have been tested thoroughly in my sets and always stood out as highlights.
no compromises on these fierce punishing drums, delivered by one of the most promising talents in techno the last years. hope you will enjoy playing these tracks as much as i do. (kr!z)

two new house tracks twisted, chewed up and spat back out on wax by marcellus pittman on his own label unirhythm. marcellus has had a great year of releases so far with his unirhythm green 12 inch and the well received ep on the fit sound label. this one is slightly smoother, jazzier, and still with that nice masculine pittman groove!

just when it was getting hard to bear anymore lo-fi, dub inspired techno records - along come producers like skudge and newcomer mrsk. both from sweden and now befriended. both turn saidgenre into kick ass, peak time productions that funk like crazy.black keith definitely has thatdrive and swing and groove we love so much. close to me is a little deeper and more classy (detroit), yet still grooves like a motherlicker.. a classic techno release!

the spiros kaloumenos remix on the a-side of this 8th audio family is a great rework of the saimon & mezmeric track. funky vibez with a superb drive full of percusion and energy. a wicked view on how techno should be. just slamming! a favourite for the djs. the flip brings back the rolling thunder original by the guys and still full of the original energy. this timeless piece of techno will always work in any set. dejan milisevic with the cherry on top, great futuristic remix from this man! buy on sight!

support by: christian smith, konrad black, joris voorn, timo maas, brothers vibe, josh wink, michael cleis, dominik eulberg, richie hawtin, rodriguez jr., wally lopez and many more, first up and delivering his take on the wonderful >chordy< is a young producer, cut from the same mold as babicz himself. a student on sonics, valencian, maetrik. staying true to the original, he adds a little grit and gives some teeth to already weighty bassline. spooky and expansive, but brilliant. taking the same track on groovy deep house ride is none other than 8bit head honcho and systematic regular, gorge. the mannheim producer, whos 2009 remix of chelonis r. jones >pompadour< is still a huge favourite, gives chordy a killer strut. matching the growling bassline and smooth as silk synths to fantastic effect. remixing >come closer< we are delighted to welcome the always in form, kollektiv turmstrasse, who turn in a remix that may surprise some. whilst keeping things deep as ever, kt take a more twisted, down tempo path

dj obscurity remix is so called uplifting darkcore with raw beats, drum and bass rythmn and he gave this one his own twist as elements of the original are still in there. dj sim is one of the icons in the early hardcore age!

z is hitting you with 3 tracks from the debut album by akabu, dave lees pseudonym for his more electronic housey material. the debut akabu album >the phuture aint what it used to be< is due this year and is filled with deep, musical, properly underground grooves but which still posses enough energy to keep the dancefloor busy. boom clap bachelors - a collective of producers, live musicians and djs out of copenhagen / denmark. the collective was founded in 2005 it provided the outlet for future collaboration. the music spans from electronica, disco non disco to leftfield, new wave, soul and indie influcences. remix comes from the mighty motor city drum ensemble

puenktlich zu sharon jones diesj?hrigem geburtstag wird die band ihren vierten longplayer >i learned the hard way< auf dem unabhaengigen brooklyner label daptone records veroeffentlichen. das album ist ein wichtiger schritt nach vorne f?r die band, die nahezu im alleingang die r?ckkehr von soul zu (s)einem traditionelleren sound losgetreten hat.

the story of this record includes one day in m(dm)ay, anarchic after-hours, laptops, gurner-djs and the need of pressing something that sounded nice, uplifting, somehow kompakt, pop-trance and just so convincing on a 12-inch. databoy78 thought the same and here we go with a seductive and hypnotizing drama. flip the script for a splendid remix by zurichs super dj lexx (zukunft, sometimes known as kawabata and switzerlands version of dj premier back in the day) who houses tings up and giving away a dope swiss beatz excursion on top of it all. lemonade was a popular drink and it still is.

big with mihalis safras, piemont, afrilounge, phonique, someone else, anthony collins, stephan bodzin!! slim, sporty and very casual- thats the way in which current number 18 on acker records sneaks into listeners ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in europe. other than the name justin side implies, its even two dudes from denmark who conjure up this unusual voodoo. bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. beside the original mix, the groove of the a-side includes a minimal club mix by mister mollono.bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. on the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his summer mix. last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local mecklenburg version of a mighty voodoo magic.
