burkhardts latest stroke, including the hit delight. now we are back again with a charming selection of remixes, including work by tobi neumann and julien veniel aka djulz. tobi neumanns remix reminds the attentive listener to the old days of oslo. it is so to speak on the point. its light, but still complex in a special way. tobi carefully unhinged the catchy vocals of delight, added it at some points and put his glance over it. the b-side is home to djulzs interpretation of pianissimo. a dark and powerful house track, that finds its glory in its simplicity. a subtle piano sample is the basis for a forward moving drum pattern. here and there an eerie vocal shot rises and guides the dancer through the musical mind of djulz.

following the world premiere of his new live show in london last weekend and with latest release >talk torque< still on heavy rotation, hotflush label boss scuba isnt wasting any time in returning with new single >hardbody<. premiered by jackmaster on bbc radio1 show earlier this month, >hardbody< has quickly become the subject of fraught anticipation.
pressing on translucent, dark blue coloured vinyl, smokey marbled.

ftw recordingz proudly presents the first solo release of elia vens!
with making his solo debut on ftw recordingz, elia vens only reveals a small fragment of his musical diversity. on side a, he really pulls out all stops with the track >jamon<. the distinctive baseline and the pumping kicks on this track will definitely light the fire for an inferno on the dance floor. high spirits guaranteed!
in contrast, the flying flute edit doesnt come like a bull at a gate and initially appears slightly atmospheric and subtle. the deep toms and analogous drums still care for a drifty groove and colour the track in a fragile paint of house. emotions culminate in the hypnotic flute playing right in the middle of the track which hijacks you to a journey of elia vens. enjoy your flight!

with the back catalogue burned to cinders and the last few dog eared copies at freerange hq looking more than a little shabby, here is your opportunity to grab some of the labels highlights on the blackstuff. the complete boxsets have all gone now but you can still buy the box with part one and add the individual releases. here we have part three including marcel wave, jimpster and the classic solid groove remix of only freak.

the >just for fun< ep starts with the title track just4fun, which in fact breathes fun and doesnt take itself too seriously. the funky and highly infectious keys and the butt shaking groove will remind you of a track that moodymann never made, but wishes he had. next comes unlimited01 with a joyful piano melody that would fit right into a french disco with a funkier version of alain delon behind the decks. still, the rhodes chords, the slow sexy groove, the vocal hooks will get you moving in no time. thang then goes into a more detroit beatdown direction with its deep chords and smooth pads. it creates a mellow atmosphere with an almost relaxed summer feeling. this is what a funky pimp would listen to on a night car drive. the ep ends with spiritual almost tribal rhythms. inspiration would be a nice soundtrack to a 70s orgy orchestrated by a groovy guru, surrounded by a magical circle of mystical dancers. over the top? sure, but the track would certainly get this party going.

following on from the slow it down & elijah collins release comes a new addition to the retrospective family in the form of elias tzikas. better known for his house music production, elias has been a global name since 1996 with his numerous productions gaining support from the likes of osunlade, maw, moodyman, kevin yost, joe claussell, kerri chandler & dimitri from paris to name a few.

prplx continue with four new tracks of the highest quality exploring the deeper side of the breakbeat spectre. these tracks still reminds us of early bluenote & speed days but definitely with modern production skills, wich can be heard in the mysterious & deep mask track (also known as the ufo track, samples where taken from an old sci-fi documentary, exploring unidentified flying objects). part two comes with full coloured artwork, limited to a 250 handnumbered edition on 180 gram crystal clear vinyl (customized 75mm labelcopies and 75mm innersleevesholes)

minor rain is bringing the heat. this smoothly progressing clubtrack with a heavy impact is staggering and everything you would expect from a psych syndrome release. the new era is here. not the typical sound but a refreshing style within the labels genre. the b side is somewhat more mellow but still has that scorching bass. get rinsing!

with this release the obscure but legendary boerft records from sweden starts releasing some interesting electronic dancemusic again (after some resting years). the new format is minilp, longer playtime than an average 12 but still dj quality! peel md is first out with this acidios travell that will make no resting moments but powerfull cruel groovy acid mood... through their common appreciation for acid-artists such as phuture, bam bam and unit moebius, as well as artists of such diversity as autechre, eurythmics and killing joke, they started to blend these influences with their own respective styles to come up with the concoction that is peel md. this is their debut release on vinyl. limited edition of 250!

three cities, three artists, three definitions of modern deephousemusic. fm delivers a great journey for all deephouse lovers out there. helly larson are known for his awesome releases on labels like plastic city, acryl, shayan music, lucidflow and many more. here he comes with a truly deep-tech monster. cassique still run his own net-label supafeed. his percussive hypnotic track >deepware< offers a catchy vocal lines to let the crowd moving. marc cotterell still have released on soul industries, peng, deep pressure music, um records and more. he bring us a sweet and soulful track with an incredible sax line, played by jonny vasquez.

definition of d is a little tribute to detroit, the city that influenced and later embraced my music in the mid/late 90s. this ep is an attemt to make music that is closer to the sound that i started out making but still different from the old detroit releases. high tech soul and is hopefully the key here. available on vinyl

having swiftly carved a niche for himself amongst the likes of perc, ben gibson returns to sect to deliver more of his brooding and engaging techno. there is a great emphasis on sound design and atmospherics in the two tracks on quien es?, as ominous clangs and tense tones hang heavy over rugged drum workouts. >ceased to gasp< is the more industrial of the two, but still allows for a melodic slant in the cavernous echoes that define the track. >remain< adopt a swirling, psychedelic approach to sonic decoration that draws you in just as it continues flooring you, like all good techno should. highly recommended.

after having blessed the world with >soarex< released on our sublabel irr (international records recordings), including a remix by ada, we would now like to welcome von spar to areal. and this time, the remix comes from no other than techno legend john tejada. with >jon voight<, the hamburg-based artists have created another epic masterpiece in line with their earlier electronic tracks: great emotions, melodies you will never forget... in other words: a track that will send something of a shiver down your spine. tejada, of austrian decent now living in the united states, shows full respect for the original version and comes up with a remix that has proven immensely effective on the dancefloor. it so effective that we still find ourselves awestruck in the studio. well, in the meantime, we have to admit that we went out to one or two parties, but only to find ourselves back in the studio again, still awestruck.

were still recovering from our big five oh milestone, but the music never stops and this time we have something new from souvenir wunderkind re.you.

after all efforts were put into jacob korns debut album during summer 2012 uncanny valley strikes back with namesake jacob stoy and his very first solo ep after his s51 for the uv010-compilation. everything starts with redensart, a sunny piece of music with a sneaky bassline and easy synth pads that come across like a warm rain shower: its house in the end but feels like so much more. hauswart is an impressive example of how one can create a whole atmosphere of sound within two minutes. its short but feels so comfortable that you really like it to go on and on forever. start is maybe the most conventional deep house track on the ep and seduces with catchy synth chords and thrilling drums. finally gegenwart brings things to a jazzy end with tipsy synths and tripping percussions. the artwork comes from none other than jacobs father olaf stoy, who is a painter, lyricist and porcelain designer still working in jacobs hometown rabenau near dresden.

with the sounds of seba still fond in the memory, nu directions returns after a brief haitas. the next release comes in the form of a split 12 from 2 burgeoning production outfits that are causing a stir on the drum & bass scene of present, june miller and heavy1.

here is ditongos new boogie. for your family business! ditongo is the batongos alias for disco editing, less obscure, more groovy. not much is to be known about batongo, previously an active euro dance producer, released a bunch of hits in the nineties. 10 years ago, after a traumatic experience he escaped in perù and retired from the music business, during this years, on his spare time he made a lot of music, not meant for the public, just for himself. now he is still in perù, not willing to move back to europe but barely broke, he sold us the rights on his entire collection of unreleased recordings with the condition of not revealing his real identity. we will unveil a series of eps ranging from obscure deep to psychedelic disco.

bastard jazz is proud to present the debut ep from brussels based production duo eric p & luigi aka monkeyrobot. coming to light through their work as 74 miles away (melting pot music) and tall black guy, who selected their standout >basement infusion< track to be on his tempo dreams compilation album (released in june on bastard jazz), and alliance between the label and m.r. seemed natural.
here on their self titled 12 inch, monkeyrobot deliver four diverse tracks that showcase their skills behind the boards, the keys, with a keen ear for the dancefloor. kicking things off, >brick stomach< is a synth-heavy four-to-the-floor 120 bpm joint that comes off like a floating points visit back in time to 1980s detroit with its rolling snares, arpeggiating synth bassline and cloudy pads. next up, >northern light< filters shimmering space disco vibes through big, thumping instrumental hip-hop drums and moody analog bass. on the flip, >rose gris< takes things in a funkier direction at 100bpm with its syncopated drums, irresistible lead, squelching bassline and all manner of synthesizer explorations. rounding off the ep is >last days<, which still manages to inject a funky 80s analog sound into its melancholy downtempo vibes.

vienna based dj and producer roman rauch doesnt like to compromise. hes constantly pushing his musical boundaries: house, techno, disco, funk. rr mixes the shit together like on his full 12? for quintessentials! keeping a raw edge on all 4 tracks, roman still provides club appeal. yes, we think hes talented, thats why he already released on philpot, endless flight or tenderpark. may the haus be hoch!

deep house emporium ornate music cast their worldly gaze to the far east, calling on japanese producer sai, a graduate of agness sthlm audio imprint, for a killer four track ep entitled bedroom eyes. the sultry, suggestive nature of the title is translated into the tunes on offer, with opening cut >2am< offering the most subtle of acid lines alongside piano flourishes and a spoken word vocal snippet. better still is the afterhours bump of >blue lingerie<, while >mr< toughens things up on the flip with a analogue grit and cooing vox. the 12 inch is rounded off with another original cut in >another myself<, which is dripping in classic motor city house vibes with gently oscillating bass tones reaching deep down inside.

with the back catalogue burned to cinders and the last few dog eared copies at freerange hq looking more than a little shabby, heres your opportunity to grab some of the labels highlights on the blackstuff. the complete boxsets have all gone now but you can still buy the box with part one and add the individual releases. here we have part two including bassforts dixtritt (never previously available on vinyl), axel bomans remix of lovebirds (also, for the first time on vinyl) and charles websters classic deep house reworking of subjekts come on.

it has been four long years since glissando released the critically acclaimed >with our arms wide open we march towards the burning sea< and the duo finally return this november with a new record >the world without us<. the new material bares glissandos trademark of ethereal voices and tip-toing piano melodies but the overall sound is richer and more expansive. epic swells of strings and guitars sore above the drones and field recordings to create an intense yet fragile noise. this lp is a highly limited deluxe package of just 300 copies, including code for free mp3 download of the full album.

german producer vertical67 debuts on lunar disko records, with a 10 inch consisting of 3 deep & dreamy tracks, crafted somewhere in berlin. the uplifting >in space< covers the a-side with bright and protruding soundscapes, glistening like stars in a far away galaxy. the b-side opens up with >craic memories<, portraying a house groove throughout, yet still retaining an electro mood amongst some delicate and twinkling melodies. finishing up the ep is the affectionate >mutuality<, displaying adept drum programming alongside a lush female voice which rises sporadically above dreamy melancholic sounds and a soft brooding vox ...

kastil takes the a-side with the title track >paraside<, a classic deep house chicago jam that exudes style, while >17th street< has the same deep us flavour but with more drive and purpose. on the flip, mr. cinelli creates a trippy and subtle reinterpretation of >17th street< but still retains the bouncy flavor in a way he only knows how to do it. watch out for those snares.

hailing from ireland, shane linehan is committed to showcasing the finest that new jersey-styled house music has to offer. having impressed with his release for local talk, he returns to his own basic grooves imprint to get the good times rolling with aplomb. >ilinx< wears its heart on its sleeve with a crisp beat that makes all the right moves, while a slick organ chord line takes centre stage in an upbeat revelry written for the start of the weekend. >so now you know< on the flip is a more contemplative affair, although no less steeped in bumping house culture. the keys are played in a more downbeat refrain and the beats a little more restrained, but this is still very much a dancefloor burner

with the >blame it on the dutch< ep, mwm delivers his 3th vinyl release. this 3 track 12inch contains 3 of hollands most respected dubstep producers/djs. >blame it on the dutch< started as a radioshow on the american internet station glitch.fm almost 3 years ago, and is still on air. this is the first of a collection orange pressed vinyls with dutch bass producers only, resulting in a impressive collection.

die musik ist eindeutig an den heavy-jam krautrock der fruehen 70er angelehnt, ueberwiegend episch, spielfreudig und angeheizt von treibenden vintage-fuzz/wahwah-gitarrenriffs und einer massiv marschierenden rhythmussektion. ihre psychedelischen improvisationen von teils weit über zehn minuten lassen auf geschmackvolle art ebenso platz für experimentelle passagen in denen sphaerische orgel / sax / gitarren soundeffekte dominieren, um intensive, originelle und facettenreiche klangbilder zu erzeugen. hier erscheint nun erstmalig das komplette neu zusammengestellte material von spaceship landing inklusive drei bonus tracks mit einer laufzeit von 79.5 min, welches auf authentische art, rein analog produziert und re-mastered wurde.

the copenhagen based producer and dj, is back with an exceptional remix package on hfn music. having dropped the stunning fool album earlier this year, we are now treated to several stellar remixes of one of the standout tracks, the third official single >bohemian soul<.

keeping with tradition, the second italojohnson release of 2012 once again presents itself in the likeliness of a 12inch wax with three tracks. the one-track mind repeats the same funk-nationalistic character of italojohnson and once more shows its simplicity. this tune comes to its rite where it is loud and dirty but even headz sitting at home will be able to feel the sun rise. boom shakalaka. the double-track side has some surprises in store for its listeners. for those in the know, the first track is also known as >bootytrack<. this track always pushes the low end to the limit and under the right circumstances guarantees some hip swing. number two may sound familiar, but even if you dont know its rootz, youll still be down with each other

supported by: basic soul unit, ygal (versatile records), jerome derradji(still music chicago), bowly, sal principato (from liquid liquid), ddd, mr de (detroit) and many more ...

with tok024, tonkind presents a wonderful collaboration work,in between the australian team shades of gray from sydney and and melbournes shiny kid uone. best think about it, for this production they did not met in sydney nor in melbourne, but in prag. here, the one part of shades of gray, czech national michal schwa still have his studio. long time ago, back in summer 2005 he landed in australia with a bag full of vinyl, a string of dj gigs and the promise of unchartered territory ahead. soon after he met there local producer nick west, their common passion lead to a collaboration. besides their shades of gray project, they formed the label beef records. since then they have made a huge impact on the house music scene, shur-i-kan, miguel migs, luna city express, miss kittin, jimpster, pezzner, laurent garnier, smash tv and the timewriter are just the tip of an iceberg of fans. their debut album and career pinnacle to date, soul machine, was critically acclaimed by the press, receiving glowing reviews in dj mag and debug. to carry on this journey they keep on meeting good producers and djs all around the world to share and develope their skills. katoomba is the outcome of such an exchange. further more uone who is even more a walking music normad, gave his best ingredients to this release. what we hear is a shaking, colorful ep, which will arrest attention out there...for sure

twelve years ago tresor records released terrence dixons debut album >from the far future< - a personal homage to the art and ancestry of techno, culminating in a discursive and dream-like course through the genres many tomes, complete with subtle nods to key protagonists such as kraftwerk, derrick may and juan atkins. a luminescent and ethereal catalogue of tracks awash with shimmery synths and taught rhythmical programming - that still holds true today, >from the far future< made for a stunning first full length that cemented dixons already proven credentials from his population one work and utensil records foundations. after a string of stylistically rich releases - including another album, >train of thought<, this time for cologne-based label yore records - the detroit native returns to tresor records with >from the far future pt.2< - an ambitious, scopey and deeply personal sequel.

another piece of swissness here! long anticipated and finally here. animal trainers new ep for their very own piece of gold: hive audio. sure they were also featured on the 6 years hive compilation, made several quality remixes & released on labels such as pokerflat or stil vor talent, but its still special to present your music on the self-made label. besides 3 originals there is another very talented producer to find on this record. &me delivers like everytime. it looks like he started where the 2 guys from zurich finished. a lot of energy which comes together in a very strong beat which makes this one a dancefloor-thing for sure.

dope me / does caroline know? is a slightly clubbier affair-less sun ra and more soul capsule-but still possesses the air of strangeness that makes the duo so unique. each artist leaves his mark within the first few measure of dope me. the steady high-hats and flawless kick drum are straight out of dazes playbook, while the nervous piano and 3 chairs-style claps are unmistakably bruno. as for the slurred vocal pleading >dope me..dope me<, thats anyones guess. the track carries on for a solid nine minutes as half-melodies and quasi-hooks slide in and out of the mix. the b-side, does caroline know?, takes us deeper and darker. the drums are plodding, the mood is ominous, and a series of dreamlike flourishes add to an already eerie groove. like the a-side, its a surrealistic style of house that only these two could deliver. the artwork, as usual, is done by daze maxim.

one of the most anticipated comebacks on local talk is finally here! their debut on local talk >moody< caused a big stir on the house charts and made the #01 at traxsource deep house 100 and still gets praise from djs all over the globe including karizma, steve bug, joey negro, the revenge and kerri chandler. the dynamic duo is now back with a even stronger ep doing what they do best, delivering two stunning vocal house tracks. the reaction mad mats & tooli got when they heard >trapped!< was unanimous -­- tune alert! using a colonel abrams acapella from 1985 and fusing it with a jacking track that retains the spirit of the dirtytwo sound & can only cause one thing, dancefloor mayhem. on the flip is >i m feelin< - a slighty more modern house burner that features old friend and pre dirtytwo fame spanka! vocalist frosche.

ripperton & agnes are friends, very good friends, close friends. theyve simply striked again at something timeless, like their still remembered 1st collaboration, tchang beers, back in 2007. you can expect lush grooves, building up experienced house music along their superb and yet distinctive production style. groove and dedication are keys toward everything the two are musically crafting.this is vinyl exclusive until the last record is sold!

blank code presents bcr002 - beta ep from the plant worker (also known as a. trebor), released on 12 inch vinyl with custom made silk screened jackets and available with an additional track found exclusively on the digital release. beta 01 represents merciless techno, with a pounding kick and unexpected drops that leave the listener gasping for breath. the luis flores remix introduces a subtle swing, making it more danceable than the original while still retaining the ominous tones imbued in the track by the plant worker. beta 02 stumbles in with anxious acid synths and urgent hi-hat patterns, slowly building to a massive climax. mysterious chimes wandering around the sonic space give a haunting feel to beta 03, the eery conclusion of the vinyl version of the release. the eps digital exclusive, beta 04, returns the listener to the original themes of beta 01 – open, reverberating bass accented by the sounds of echoing metallic decay.

there s only one thing that matches a new my love is underground 12 - a remastered pressing of one of the label s certified hits! paris underground trax volume 1 was one of the records that catapulted the french label into the spotlight - at the time produced anonymously, it later emerged that mr brawther was the man behind the four retro house cuts. it s a wonderful homage to the deeper strains of 90s new jersey, nyc underground and sexy thing remix still smack of kerri chandler at his most bumping, with fat pads, sultry vocals and gritty basslines. the b-side features uptempo gem hardcore deep house , while gtfo! glides along with warm, embracing chords. if you missed out first time round, don t make the same mistake again.

for our 40th release we are very pleased to welcome on deeply rooted house argentinas own jonas kopp (ostgut ton, curle, krill music, ear to ground, traut). this 4 tracks ep gives a good example of his diverse and still very defined techno recording skills. a side goes from the very straight forward and somehow mental reforce to the deep and abstract journey of proteus 81, while b side kicks of with the somehow balearic and positive green fingers to end up with the quest of light!

groove heavy synth funk reminiscent of dmx krew and dreamy string- laden rhythms suggestive of standout tracks on carl craigs >more songs about food and revolutionary art< occupy side a. the flip side is filled with deeper dance floor friendly tracks sonically reminiscentof the transmat catalog along with an injection of uptempo tech-house swing elements evocative of akufens >skidoos<.
recorded in the winter of 2011 in metro detroit, >more than a marathon< marks the debut release for super public. predominantly re- corded with analog hardware, the ep has an innate familiarity while still maintaining a focus on the 2012 marketplace. rudi thornburgh has been independently producing electronic music for over 10 years under various names but, most notably, clocklife. brett cimbalik has been playing jazz guitar for the better part of his music career and has transferred his chordal knowledge to synth guitar and electronic production. together, they form a sound reminiscent of the golden days of detroit techno while still exploring new terrain and bridging new ideas.

very limited and mysterious one-off emanating, as you might expect, from the big apple. put together by a legendary ny record store owner from a personal stash of edits constructed for back in the day club play, which still sound super fresh and effective today !

almost 25 years have past since his first release, yet >the true story of house music< is the first time elbee bads catalog gets compiled for re-release. although the best and most prolific part of his catalog is his late 80s and early 90s output, booker never stopped producing (and djing). he is currently residing in berlin, from which he still manages his studio and travels throughout europe to dj.
prior to the compilation we release a vinyl only sampler which features two exclusive and previously unreleased mixes of two tracks which are to be found on his only solo nu groove ep, from which we took the title of this compilation.
this is another winner from the true history of house music.
