seamless twelves does it again! set to drop yet another irresistibly infectious summer epic, supaflava blends slinky keys with a bumpin bassline, while the sweeping strings add the sweetener to the mix. sophie cairo adds the vocal touch with a performance set to not only blow you away, but have you singing along with your arms in the air! andro adds his trademark electro sound to the track while still maintaining the organic feel of the original, combining the familiar strings and keys with a fresh bassline so funky that it becomes an extremely potent lead line for the dub. by the time vincent kwok has his wicked way with the track, he adds a further twist, creating a bass driven dub that bumps its way underneath the floating vocals with some serious groove.

alphahouse welcomes kai to the family, with the dazzling 3-track ep >gakuon< his debut release came last year on portables sud electronic label, and put him on our ones-to-watch list. now kai delivers his second ep and its a killer. with so much music in the world following the same patterns, and producers sucked into using the same cheap tricks in the studio, its refreshing to hear that some people out there are still capable of independent and abstract thought. we hope you agree. >ac< is a mutant deep techno piece equally suitable for dark club mayhem as it is for sunday brunch with the in-laws. seriously, try it out at both places and if it doesnt work the next beer is on us. >spacetravel< is exactly that. a micro-sampled ride though the cosmos. tiny vocal spurts and playful melodies surround a throbbing bassline. stripped just to the groove and not over-arranged, theres plenty of room to let your imagination roam free. >gravity< is one of those special inside tracks that we search so long and hard for. delightfully simplistic, yet incredibly groovy. its amazing how much you can do with a few well-placed sounds, isnt it?

lead track, keep control, is a prime slice of club house. this is the kind of tune you can be sure is going to rock any dancefloor, and even raise the mood to another level. solomun s sparse production means the track retains an old school vibe while still sounding contemporary. there are enough breaks to give the crowd a chance to make themselves heard too. another quality of this track is the fact that it fits into almost any kind of house/techno set

the quake has a completely fresh sound, not strictly breaks, house or electro, but possessing elements of all 3 genres, its about the groove, warm synth work and the phonat style cut up female vox. splank! favourite malente provides the remix action for this single. having released the 2 & only on splank! last year alongside sometime production cohort (lars) moston, this year has also seen malente release his fourth studio album on unique records how can you still stand to stand still, and more recently he has remixed coburn. the remix takes a 4/4 route, as malente keeps many of the original parts, but re arranges them into his original production style, and creates an absolute monster that goes into overdrive after the drop.

this is volume 2 of 7th citys classic series. it features one of seventh citys best selling releases, john tejadas funky anthem >timebomb<. when originally released in 2001 it became a massive track played in all the top clubs worldwide. despite having a incredibly prolific catalog of releases, timebomb still remains one of john tejadas biggest and best known records. also included is a special edit of paris-based producer jean guillaume cabannes (better known just as cabanne) >cant stand<. as with so many seventh city artists, his release on the label established him with a wider audience and he continues to have success to this day with his own-imprint minibar and as well with his collaborations with ark and david gluck. this version of >cant stand< is an edit by daniel bell, which emphasizes the tracks loopy flow. the original version of the track was released in 2002.

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

whilst their debut release i like you is still causing havoc on near by dancefloors, shimon & nixon are proving themselves a force to be reckoned with! the burbling bass of around the edge is destined for sun soaked dancefloors and homegrown festival tents alike. shimons junglist influences are evident, minimal keys sit atop warped synth lines and atmospheric vocals. whitenoise is more the instant club banger, taking a trip to the darker reaches. the omnipotent bassline pulsates its way into your brain and builds to a powerful breakdown then bashing its way back to the jugular

bugz in the attic member seiji with the second of 2 vinyl parts of his dj tools selection on sonar kollektiv.with a hint of grime, broken beat, hip hop, 80s funk, but also easy listening, its most clear that fast paced, tight breaks dominate plus typical bugz ingredients such as square wave synths and the infamously fat bass lines. these sounds would suit dj sets from broken beat through to drum & bass and on to electro

the record was born too early, when house music was still very underground, so consequently it passed into house music history with only a very few discerning djs and collectors owning original us copies. in keeping with chicagos musical history, one of the unsung heros of house has been drafted in to keep the new versions feet firmly on the ground. craig loftis aka grand high priest who along with joe promised land smooth on keys! give the track a more understated could upstate from london back to chicago with 3 killa mixes

3rd ep off the double disc mixed by grammy award winner louie vega. basils classic city streets is up first with kerri chandler turning out his smooth inspirational mix of this nu groove 1991 original classic release. his mix goes a little deeper than the original full spoken vocal but includes a jazzy saxophone and a heavier bass line making the track move along a little easier. some tribal beats and some thunder are added to really create the atmosphere & veritable feel of the rain. the late great house music singer sabrynaah pope sings her heart out on hold on. this is the actual original re issue from 1994 and still being played. other 2 singles that you will find on the vinyl ep are mood ii swing feat. carol sylvan, closer as well as the global no1 dance hit by blaze feat. barbara tucker most precious love. all these well known tunes make for an incredible set of throw backs coming from a very special album mixed by one of the worldwide legends of dance music

baobinga makes his mantra breaks debut with shake it. its a rolling bass monster that will literally leave you quaking in your boots! there is also a heavy techno influence with uplifting stabs and plenty of electronic weirdness. label buddy madox has been a busy putting the final touches to his debut album but luckily for us he has still found time to provide a stomping rendition. the growling bassline relentlessly drives this badboy, which will keep the dancefloor jumping for joy

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.

oliver huntemann already presents the 14th release on his dance electric label. but his release policy is far from being predictable or boring. with jens mahlstedt and andré winter he presents two long time dance music protagonists for the first time united under their real names. both started their careers back in the 90ies, and both delivered stunning production work, before there was ableton live and before there were software plug-ins. these 2 tracks on dance electric prove that they are still ahead of time. these dark and floor-rocking electro trenched tracks are spiced up with bits of melody and incredible arrangements. everybody fasten seat-belts – this is a hell of a comeback...

archipel brings in two of its friends from uk, newcomer sozadams and moes ferry superstar croatian luka & lazo, for its fifth vinyl outing >tahiti excursion vol. 2< on which soz takes the a side and luka & lazo take the b side both bringing the dirty warehouse funk. soz starts things off with >broken thought< which is a thumping, sweaty late night floor mover which is sure to bend limbs in ways never witnessed before. >liars chair< is a slightly slower pusher which twists and melts along through corroded vocal snippets and dark polyrhythmic moments. luka & lazo take the same attitude of dark funk from sozs a side journey and shred it into a million pieces. >the safe< is a warmer tinged funk but still keeps things moving and grooving while >mood mode< jacks along and rips up a world of digital fabric. archipel keeps up the quality with ease and this is yet another piece of aural evidence to prove it

born in australia but moving to japan in 2000, luke le mans is the main organizer of the night >quop< in osaka which focused on bringing big international djs and contribute to create a scene in the roughest japanese city. after releasing his debut ep on trapez luke is back with this 2 tracker ontrenton. much more mature, his talent as a producer are undeniable and we hope that this will be the beginning of long series of old school but yet modern minimal material for trenton. >dark helmet< has dry beats and a funky bass line with a crazy chords pattern that has some sort of a b horror movie vibe… like a minimal techno version of a dario argentos soundtrack, dark helmet will bring you out-there! the second track called >lisa< is a bit more old school but still rules and the endless loopy bass ramp that just keeps on building up will make your legs feel a bit less heavy and your mouth a bit thirstier… slg is back on trenton, but for a remix this time. after is very first ep on our label we are proud to have him back. his version of >dark helmet< is just outstanding… pure slg style, it has it all: detroit, minimal, forward, groovy… if you are still sitting in a clubs corner after hearing that on the p.a…. means that you have serious issues with being able to feel the funk!!

mihai popoviciu (romania). after his first single for international gigolo records and some smaller releases, this is mihais first ep in 2007. on the a-side >first contact< he starts the other way round. the sequence bores this time the sequence reaches the head before an undulating bassline arrives. then in the perfect teamwork, nobody could stand still. with b1 >capcana< the sequence and the bassline are running at the same time, and will be differently modulated over and over again. b2 >sharp< is based on a rhythmical grooving which develops later with a sequence on his side to a perfect hypnosis

spanish producer dancelwerk returns with a second helping on sounderground records with a slamming release called >noises<. already gaining favour from the likes of inxec and sian these tracks do not disappoint! on the a side >strange voices< is a powerful, full on track that still remains gorgeously minimal. complete with heavy basses, lots of synth weirdness and a very deep yet dark >strange vocal< hook thst all adds up to a really sinister peak time track. friendly noises delivers an excellent b side with a really up front techy feel, skippy percussion and driving drums with a very very cool break down, lots of weirdness,nice!

jerrald james aka jerry the cat musical career is a typical example for detroit music of the last decades having played percussions with parliament and disco outfit cj & company he early came in contact with the first wave of detroit house and techno producers and began to experiment with these new sounds. his productions today are still evident for the unique mixture of detroit soul history and futuristic electronics. therefore this new sound signature is exemplary for the detroit sound as it skillfully fuses the free flowing jazz inflected vocals of genevieve with jerralds rootsy percussions play, accoustic live bass and a skanking, hypnotic house beat. flip over for the dubby instrumental track vanished

this is the third tuning spork blues experiment. inspired by legends like miles davis and modern day techno producers like dandy jack, andreoni is forging wacked out new house sounds, in the true spirit of jazz. this ep is no exception, and it shows why the likes of ricardo villalobos believe that signor andreoni is an amazing musician. to begin the experiment, andreoni jams you deep into space, with some seriously fucked up effects that will have you hiding under your bedclothes. sleepover is perhaps the most techno cut on this release, but the deep haze of dub still remains, over a banging percussive track. on members the melodies are perfect as you expect from signor andreoni, and here the acid line is more prominent in the mix, over deep warbling bass notes. in borderline, nothing is as it seems. melodies fall down cliffs into weird drones, and everything seems a little skewed. this completes a 4 track ep from a unique talent in the world of deep electronic house music, with 4 distinctive colourful tracks that take the genre far away from the middlebrow. make sure you check out our third tuning spork blues experiment, even if you spent most of science class using bunsen burners as water pistols

the first full release from b12 since 3ep on warp records in 1998. classic b12 deep-space melodics and detroit techno influences still shine through, with 21st century production. slope brings the beats to the dancefloor while magnetic fields and static glitch twist and turn though menacing atmospherics and jilted grooves

italian chums love supreme are back with the follow up to rocquet, their debut from late last year. the elsewhere ep once again demonstrates their ability to combine a range of sounds from moroder style disco to detroit techno to krautrock and psychedelia while still retaining the ability to make the kids dance like little monkeys. you have been warned!

>extreme music< is still a very very funky number this time with an amazing melodic breakdown. the guys are on a roll right now with their label and their releases !on the remixes side you will find another man on fire, mr. guy gerber teaming up with hadas for a trancey relecture of the original on the border of insanity – this will be for sure a favorite for the coming summer. the other remix is from none other than our favorite scottish mate jamie mchugh whose after his huge >arcadia< release last year

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard…and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling

germanys electro purists mas 2008 are back with the elco_16.0 >un-destroyable structures< on electronic corporation. they still fulfill the expectations on real powerfull and danceable electrotracks. machines seemed really being animated by kirchner & mueller on their new 12inch. they keep on track in producing the oldschoolish hardware based way, like back in the old days. no plug-in pings and pongs, just really voltage controlled synthesizers and drummachines with deep, warm and noisy sounds. mas 2008 keep their tracks still based arranged with implementing song structures and vocal fragments – clubby with pop particles. who ever is keen on electronic music of the last two decades, will find all these influences on the elco_16.0

der dritte raum is possibly one of the most innovative liveacts germany’s techno scene has brought forward since the early nineties, the formative years when frankfurt trance was growing into a national movement that would change the course of dance music in germany forever and inspired countless individuals with its take on electronics. with two album releases on the incredibly influential frankfurt harthouse imprint, which was partly run by pioneer dj sven väth, techno germany’s undisputed father figure who still spearheads the scene, and three album releases on virgin, there is hardly any live act and producer duo as successful and innovative as d3r

disc one brings together three classic cuts from the nrk vaults. joey negros akabu project is currently undergoing a revival, what with new cuts phuture bound and im not afraid of the future currently in the front of many djs boxes. back in 2000, akabu recorded your wildest dreams for nrk, and was accompanied by the 2020 vision mix included here. ralph lawsons punchy, robotic club remix sounds just as relevant today as it did on its first release. on the flip, solid grooves trademark jackin remix of magik js feel alright still cuts the mustard and jamie andersons beautiful oceanic shimmers with cool 909 drums and luscious deep chords.

back in 1993 munichs into somethin crew started a clubnight entitled maiden voyage. the idea behind it was simple while the successful weekly into somethin sessions set up by michael reinboth, florian keller and theo thoennessen in 1989 kept on providing a take on the current state of dancemusic from a jazz djs point of view the guys wanted to etablish another night dedicated strictly to the classics. jazz, soul, brasil, boogie and disco have been on the musical menu at maiden voyage ever since. michael reinboth and florian keller still love to play a set at maiden voyage every now and then but both guys left the ships bridge to concentrate on their variety of other projects in the late 90s. theo and rainer were joined by roland appel of fauna flash, trüby trio and voom:voom fame instead to form the infamous threepiece that kept on keeping on ever since
