drum n bass legend decoder is still at the forefront of underground dance, and continues developing his rolling, progressive breakbeat sound on ricochet this autumn...

an extremely tasty 4 tracker from the massively talented par grindvik. the a1 is a real killer with its rising synths and sledgehammer drums whereas the a2 is a perfect contrast with its slow intense minimal groove. the b1 again is a real floor burner with its driving groove and clever synth edits halfway. the record closes with a superb more minimal interpretation yet agin. drumcode again proves it is still one of the most cutting edge imprints around... limited backstock available

adam beyers drumcode label has its ten year anniversary this year and there will be many releases as well as a massive compilation album project later in the year featuring brand new tracks from many of the label s key artists. one of the newest additions is the producer of this new release - tor lowkrantz or mighty thor as he is known. this 4 tracker again demonstrates the open musical policy of the label. the last hardcell release was a fine piece of work demonstrting influences from both hard and minimal techno sensibilities. this release focuses more on the harder end of the scale but still remains fresh with its almost old jeff mills and rob hood influences. all 4 tracks have a fat groove and are saturated with funk yet still pack serious punch in any set. another winner from drumcode

it is a task that detroit native aaron-carl has done consistently since 1996. as one of detroits most in-demand producers, his signature sound crosses genres -- from soulful, gospel-infused house, to the dirtiest ghettotech anthems. aaron-carl is hailed as a powerhouse in detroits electronic music scene. with a discography to die for, he has remixed some of the motor citys biggest names – underground resistance, scan 7, aux 88 & kelli hand, as well as international artists like chicago house legend dajae, icelandic techno stars gus gus, and african jazz great manu dibango, to name a few. as a vocalist, aaron-carl showcases a broad range. from the haunting chill of >crucified< and >sky< to the seductive whispers of >down< and >21 positions<, to soul-stirring shouts of >alright< and >my house< ac prides himself in not just making records, but classics. his >let me tell you something about house music< acapella (appropriately titled >the word<) is one of todays most sampled house vocals, while >down< is still a staple in the clubs – for more than a decade after its release.

excellent hypnotic detroit house at it best... soulful, disco flavoured and still made 4 rocking the crowd

after the first aspekt of marcio kantana at large and positive response follows now is the disengagement of the new labels. the guys from digital report deliver with the strange ep an amazing starting debut. the tracks are rich variety in the style produced from 1001 nights and include oriental elements, bright beats and deep sounds. this record is hardly a plate suitcase missing. just as the track sahara says he is dry and will be produced each party guest to bring sweat. this much is certain. the b-side bakara is rather for 8uhr morning, to relax, celebrate with you but will not stand still. on the record are remixes of marcio kantana and dan reed

simon baker & jamie jones have been long time dj s in england s underground electronic music scene, who have within the last couple of years emerged as respected producers and have seen their works signed to labels such as crosstown rebels, 20/20 vision, freak ‘n’ chic, poker flat, cocoon, get physical and connaisseur just to name a few. kaskazi is their first collaborative effort and proves their individual strengths are even more formidable when unified in the studio. the three versions of kaskazi all invoke a different mood and style, but still retain that jubilant flavor of the original that caught the ears of m.a.n.d.y. and dj t. early in the summer. praise has come from all corners of the dj spectrum, as the combination of a galloping funk fused bass line, with the infectious vocals and clever effects have erupted many club dance floors into a frenzy.

underwater is a true breakthrough a song so undeniably laid back and catchy, the duo came up with the term cosmic sea shanty to sum it up. with its undeniable madchester/beta band delivery, dfa decided it was more of an e shanty, especially the dub on the flipside, which blends warm keys, euphoric piano, and a killer bass line. underwater is more unique magic from the tiny sticks men and a new page in their still evolving career.

his this years 2nd album >heavy day< still heavily resonates in peoples ears, now that falko brocksieper already delivers an appropriate follow-up. on >fresh 727< brocksieper finds back to raw, sketchy arrangements, evolving their full energy just from deep, rolling basic grooves, as opposed to the close examination of each tiny sound and every dramaturgic peculiarity in the recent longplayers production. on the title track >fresh 727< noisy, maurizio-esque house chords encounter futuristic vocal messages, while edgy, classic drumbox-riffs rip up the dense atmosphere of the track again and again. a deep, marching groove and the freeminded combination of elements signalize special club moments from the very start. on the backside >request< turns out to be an equally organic, sizzling counterpart, which can promote its sustainable cheerfulness alone by its ongoing bouncy bassline, in a way that all accessory parts get dispensable - to the benefit of a well-balanced blend of rattling percussion, carved vocals and quirky atmo...s

hip shaking funky and disco infected house tracks with nice filtered parts for good messure!!

rare remixes from sebatian for artists such as daft punk, klaxons, bloc party, the kills, revl9n, mylo and many more..

itamar sagi from the be as one label really made a name for himself with his black gold track that was released earlier this year. inspired by the warmer and more emotional side of detroit techno he very much captured something real and true in that song which certaintly paid off in the end. here he has done something a bit different. not less good though. actually better. this is a record for those moments when you need to increase the pace but still wants to keep the soul. perfect!

the clubby summer season of 2008 is just about to explode and the creme of electronic dance music is all but departed to their summer positions. while already packing their suitcases, jesus loved you crew still found time to release yet another in their grand series of records. the occasion was right and so was the choice: what better way to start the rockiest time of the year then to make public this exquisite collection, put together by one of the ibizas finest! guys like wally lopez hardly need to be introduced: playing with the most excellent and producing for the best position, wally lopez is widely considered to be one of spains leading deejays and producers. although he is working in london most of the time, mediterranean temper still runs through his veins always making his music sound positive and cheerful. in wideband wally lopez gives way to his love for bouncy rhythms and dramatic bridges taking us on a journey through his ever-changing soundscape. with a fine touch for the more relaxed ambience of summer partying, he keeps his base line low and gives way for his exciting melodies to develop freely

played by 2000 and one. her massive >phunk< international club hit still played over the world might have brought the attention to nike that shinedoe is one of a kind and ready to convey the grooves of back in tha days

after some very well received releases for the likes of renaissance and kickboxer records, stephan hinz, who has also turned out some hot tracks alongside martin eyerer, presents >bacala<. its a cheekily warped excursion into hinz‘s deep and melancholic dancefloor world, spurred on by a great theme melody, as if you found yourself in the middle of a medieval rave after a long and victorious battle! tight, familiar percussion works the groove, building towards a dramatic break which introduces more layers of synthesised wonder! check this in the main room for maximum effect. audiomatique key player adultnappers remix comes on strong, with a tougher drive and a slightly more freaked out vibe. trademark hissing percussion works over a finely tuned minimal groove, eventually allowing that haunting melody to show its colours. designed for the more freaky floors, yet still focused on melody and progression, its another great example of adultnappers remixing skills

anne amiee continue to represent the forward thinking abstract dub sound…. marchos enochson (maw records, sonar kollektiv, still music) teams up with fellow swede, the subliminal kid on the prettiest looking label around. two solid tracks of delta funktionens mix takes things into murkier territory. bad

a single sided release of this classic italo track, blending both parts of the original plus additional beats for the demands of todays djs and dancefloors while still retaining most of the original sound and feel of the original.

with a riff thats too good to die, nitro deluxe finds its way back on todays dancefloor, via a rather brilliant re spray from julian neopolitana. with chicane also getting more of the same and of course, ruff loaded vol 1 still doing the business everywhere, expect volume 2 to do even greater damage file under large!

axel karakasis is the main man in the groovy techno scene these days. with numerous releases on upfront labels like patterns, yin yang, omega, techhead, adult and many more he is building his impressive discography. the funky greek decided to keep the best tracks for his own imprint remain. 3 solid rocking technobombs is what to except. rolling like a train on full speed. no stops, just full speed all the way.. try to keep standing still on this bomb!

alex gaudino, still on his world tour, found the time for a new hit: im a dj with nari & milani.

inferno is the title of the new album of miss djax. the album contains only new tracks and also a remix of hells bells by pet duo, queensteppin with dj rush and the floorfiller still dominating together ith human resource

no worries! theres no doubt the last work it baby project still reaches the same height of catchiness that omega man did a couple of years ago. every joint on the ep is just as great in its own way. nightbreed is championed by felix da housecat: track of the year!!!! unreal pure genius i love it!!

the debut release from monkeybeats still reverberates, and number two is equally as deadly. the 1 extra anthem made even wonkier, also features ian round in the house- a ridiculously large record with heavy support from the radio 1 xtra crew

the man behind some infamously amazing and joyful live sets, a successful first album for musique risqué, a great ep for oslo, and a brilliant debut on circus company with petit djinns-including the underground hit >sous l arbre<, guillaume & the coutu dumonts is now back on cc with >i was on my way to hell<. a delicious two-tracker for different moments, covering two distinct vibes perfectly. on the a side >i was on my way to hell< is a jam that bubbles over like a volcano with a marvelous synth pad melody building along with a gospel preacher sample. all the while a heavy groove powers away underneath- he’s got the secret! on the b side, we are taken to a more quiet but still melodic environment. >can’t argue with silence< opens up with a rolling bass line, a simple refined groove, and then gradually sprinkles tasteful acoustic hits and ethno-styled synth stabs on top. close your eyes and feel the heat of an >arabian night< inna guillaume & the coutu dumonts house sylee!

the new release on the mojuba sublabel features two classic and timeless moments of dutch techno music. the main track >spadet< was also one of the chosen tracks for the legendary x-mix by kevin master reese saunderson on studio k7!, and even after more than a decade since its original release, there are still goosebumps while hearing the magnificent sounds of that tune! the b-side might be less know but it still captures that special feeling and the power of true detroit techno which never left our hearts. the whole package was remastered to today’s standards by no other than the sound connoisseur monsieur redshape!

arctic monkeys were already massive way before they inked a deal with domino in june 2005. people obsessing over the songs? sold out gigs full of stage diving nutcases. hardcore fans pressed up against venue windows, just hoping to catch a glimpse such checkpoints have all been ticked. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well trodden brit rock path.

short after the latest (develish) dapayk single mos ferry fields the dutch guy henk van zwol aka olene kadar again. his label debut >vakbekwaam< (mfp035) is still fresh and we do remember him playing his liveset on some of the spring-time mos ferry labelnights where he was soaked in sweat during his performance. all this established a solid relation between amsterdam and berlin, which is about to be expanded. the new release >paying billl< presents two new olene kadar masters. on the a-side theres >sarg wualb< taking the subject of >i-modulate-that-siren-until-everybody-gets-up-from-his-seat< to the next level. on the flip side called >betrokken< the young man proves that a track with extensive usage of edgy >frickelsound< elements doesnt have to end in a top-heavy electronica-piece, but can be directed to the floor, very straight forward and impulsive techno. these two tracks show once more what henk van zwol demands from his body and his consciousnes when playing live

for this seventh release samuel let someone else bring the music, and it s actually the first time since he started klap klap for a bit more then two years ago. claudio mate has really delivered something special here, and you can hear in the title what he s going for. it s classic detroit techno made for 2008. warm and rich melodies combined with funky and driving percussion. it comes in three versions that are connected but still has their own stories. should appeal to all those who appreciates things that is made with lust and passion

jericho records continues its return to the forefront with this amazing new release from the hottest producer in dance music right now - eric prydz. using his cirez d moniker here eric has created a sublime, deep yet pumping masterpiece with hints of planet e with its simple building groove and enormous pads yet still due to tjhe immense production managing to pack an huge wallop. as if they wasnt enough on the flip side pig and dan pick up the pace with an amazing pumping groove perfectly utilising parts of the original to superb effect. already mercilessly hammered by eric prydz and pig and dan themselves as well as jon digweed early on - many others are now picking up on this bomb and this will feature heavily on house and techno floors alike. devastating!!

peaktime goodness built for the dancefloor. >k5000< expect some manipulated beats with an amazing drive ending up with a climax of snares, this has all the right ingredients to make it another einmusik classic. we defy anyone to stand still when this one drops >ehrfurcht< has more epic proportions with delicate and subtle layers of melody washing around a threathening bassline... one hell of a mental track

mia lädt auf ihrem vierten album nicht nur zum tanzen, sondern auch zum nachdenken ein

the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

dj support by : james flavour, jamie jones, karotte, sebo k... hamburgs chris gruber and nils nurnberg have been doing an array of production and mixes for multiple labels lately but these two tracks stick out. both sparkle with a dense and intense still airy and reduced approach to modern deep electronic house. oz yavooz enigmatic skilled vox raunt gives >c mon & dance< a demanding twist to it, mixing old school new jack swing with a bright metreuropean attitude. a typical wasnotwas relerase mixing classical sound quotation with vibrant forward thinking music. gruber & nurnberg drop the ballistics here with a double a side rocking the cradle & floor with style and ease not often heard lately. the rest we leave up to you to decide being sure we wont disappoint

after the smashing baaz release, were creaming the bred once again with a buttery fat n nutella filled round wax ! omega midi is again (as was lazar) a disguised dood that signs here a perfect 120 bpm old backed house tune. its raw, groovy, sweet and funky and yet achieved with so much panache! on the flip youll find a ray valioso rework of the title track which enhance the boundaries of deepness while still keeping the beat right up for your dancing needs!

ladies and gentlemen... the house kingpin dj sneak once again delivers a 4 track banger with a remix by nyc 1200 warriors. get ready for the best sneak signature sounds that bring dancefloors alive from the dead. on the a side i am sneak a heavy todd terry style influenced rhythm track with chants about if you re down with me count 1.2,3... & well, well, well... sneak comes back with a smoother but jackin house beat with some old college radio interview from the early 90s, sneak gets an introduction to the track itself and gives many props to the people that still love and do house music. the b side we have cant take no more and a remix by nycs 1200 warriors to complement this house ragga hi energetic house dance floor killer. these hard hitting chicago - nyc influenced tracks have the elements of pure street sounds, bangin beats as usual and the sickest 1 bar loops that only sneak can put together. this 4 track ep brings back the serious sneak sound that is much needed in danfloors across the globe.

after a little break, christian hoffmann - lately more involved as a part of the ambitious abonné project (opossum) is back for good with a butt moving techno house smasher, programmed together with toni vokado. some of you may still know toni from his infamous audioworker ep and few more phat and headstrong releases on monika kruses electric avenue label few years ago. rico henschel a.k.a. sweet n candy delivers a incredible epic 10 minutes interpretation of the people with the obvious intention to make the peebs go mad. enjoy!

excellent detroit tracks from 1997

superb reissue of ron trent s all-time deep techno classic altered states. made when he was still school-age, and released in 1990 on armandos seminal warehouse label, this record was an immediate underground club hit, turning ron into a local hero, kickstarting his hugely successful production and djing career and making him probably the only chicago house producer to rate one of the best techno singles of all time! this classic acid workout is stunning in its simplicity and has been described as one of the most perfect and moving tracks ever heard. the other tracks are also very beautiful in their own right despite having been overshadowed by the epic altered states - the afterlife was included on dj hells x-mix-5. all tracks digitally remastered for superb sound quality

big with alex picone (cadenza) for phonica records london. the record has already been played by dj s such as james pennington, dj buzz goree (underground resistance) dj jus ed, radioslave, cassy, pacou, mad max, ricardo villalobos, luciano, prosumer, marcel dettmann.... their third ep on there independent label is a manifesto of their purposes: to provide to the dancefloors solid analagoue fat sounds not following the trends but always digging deep into their roots with the eyes on the future. the future is the past and the past is the future. restoration is an anti-digital media corporation who fully believe which the only useful ammunitions for djs are vinyls
