the 7th release on mikrodisko delivers the perfect concept for the dissolution of the antagonism between original and replica with kassem mosse’s “musical generics”. while m7&#8243,,, is still available as a single, it needs to be resynchronized according to the time of day from fast forward mode to time lapse disco. this record really fits into the smallest handbag, and: small clubs just need small records!

on this release we have two goddesses of drum & bass, the queens of the jungle ... diane charlemagne (goldie >inner city life< / high contrast - >if we ever<) and ladyroller (ez rollers >tough at the top / walk this land<) and what an honour to have worked with them both. still as much talent now as back in the day.
here we present to you 2x 140bpm straight up bass bangers ... simple as that. you know the protocol, turn it up load and keep it rolling till the morning...

following ryan davis debut >routes of life< on traum in january 2011, his high acclaimed follow up shows ryan is a real tastemaker but also a real club rocking musician. few artists in the electronic modern dance scene of today make music that seems serious and intense... and still accomplishes to have club people go wild on it. it is a bit of a lost treasure of the golden techno days, ryan always reflects in his music when he creates moments of beauty with an collective fee to them. ryan davis in one of them and his new ep shows that side even more than his debut. a-side track supernova brings images together of psychedelic west coast soundtracks of the 70ies, pop art, shoe gazers and maybe salvatore dalis surrealism.

bedroom community broadens the scope with their newest release: en garde by puzzle muteson, a mysterious, intimate record by a fearless songwriter and lyricist from the windswept isle of wight. arranged and produced by collaborators and labelmates nico muhly and valgeir sigurdsson, en garde is a strange, comforting and alarmingly personal record. driven, spare lyrics are hoisted high by vocals of steady, sturdy tremble. each tune swells with plush guitar pluck in a sea of orchestration and electronics. recorded in the greenhouse studios in iceland, the album collects puzzle muteson s odd and beautiful stories - about love and horses, rust and polar bears, heartbreak and birds. puzzle s songs are curious sounds from a troubled heart and his lyrics are urgent and open, striking a note with their vulnerable memories. i was once a horse is an unforgettable song about nostalgia. the first single and title track, en garde , pits puzzle s longing against waves of dense strings and jagged rhythm, while perspex disguise sets his naked, translucent vocals against shimmering piano that refracts off epic chords. in flamingo head he sings, i left your house. you let me. i left you ugly , buffeted by guitar and distant murmurs. not a single thing could take this magical sight. i ll find you still , he sings in medusa , the story of a man tracking down a lost love. like many bedroom community recordings, en garde takes an unexpected and unique voice and elevates it out of any easily discernible pocket. puzzle muteson could be folk or something completely different - instead he s an intense stranger from the isle of wight - at once both familiar and unfamiliar. en garde heralds a haunting and essential new voice, beautiful, earned and yearning

sonicultures label boss expander kicks it with an ep that will rock the most demanding dance floors. oh yes, the sweet sound of techno fills our ears with joy as we listen to two original tracks and a remix from well-known producer tadeo. >the waggler< is a bass driven ride on a roller coaster of madness. nifty synths and processed sounds are combined and mixed in a progressive manner, leading to a journey where flows of energy go different ways. the moments are there. the music is powerful. as it should be. spains own techno master tadeo from cyclical tracks, delivers another approach to >the waggler<, making it more pumping and enhanced with a touch of retro and a combination of futuristic sounds. a great remix from one of the most talented producers in the current scene. with >the wiggler<, expander rides towards a more hypnotic direction, still fuelled by heavy basslines and analogue sounds. the synth arrangements are totally mental and there is a sweet touch of darkness to the composition that makes everything even more interesting. are you a waggler or a wiggler? the choice is your

the response to sven kacireks album the kenya sessions (pingipung 20) was overwhelming. the cooperation between the drummer-producer from hamburg and musicians from kenya links electroni- ca with african recordings in a unique, exciting fa- shion. it therefore has been and still is being praised in various scenes from techno to jazz to world mu- sic. the cd will receive the award preis der deut- schen schallplattenkritik in may 2011, category: nu and extreme. also friends of the label have been enthusiastic about e quality of this material. pingipung therefore re- leases a 10inch vinyl with reworks of the album in the end of may. lawrence, hamburgs most melancholy house artist, co-owner of the labels dial, smallville and laid dedicates himself to the track kayamba tuc tuc. he reduces the track to its essen- ce, without adding anything new, and edit full of wisdom with heartfelt warmth. taprikk sweezee is the best known moniker of the musician nikolai von sallwitz next to gizmog or fussel . taprikk sweezee builds his soul glitch beats with ease, and he is by the way the most convincing electronic performer we know these days. one single track was not enough for his mix. wed love to see him dance with all the kenyan musicians who play on his two originals of choice, kayamba tuc tuc and mariae. furthermore on this 10inch: a rework of paperflowers by sven kacirek himself, created in cooperation with samy de- luxe producer sebastian winkler. finally, less a bonus but maybe the secret highlight: the ex- clusive sven kacirek track takaye village!

number 1 in a series of 3 eps unraveling unreleased classic house tracks by stefan goldmann. victoriaville continues its research into stefan goldmanns sweet back catalogue with the world premiere of a triple vinyl series of never before released house material. revisiting the years 2000 - 2005, emptying the vaults highlights the era of stefan goldmanns uk years. often his actual releases with classic, ovum and front room reflected just a part of the possible. now victoriaville proudly steps in to let the whole thing shine. restored from the original master tapes and cut by d&ms rashad, heres some startling evidence of how deep the roots of house actually were in berlin years before the still ongoing hype set in. >cirque mecanique< is a throbbing groove work out with a dark edge, while >warm rush< brings sweet & pure deepness. >true dub< is an unreleased alternative version to 2002s >true< single - no vocals, just bass. enjoy and look out for parts 2 & 3!

after taking a break for more than 6 months bukaddor & fishbeck return with 2 quality tracks. >camino< unites tight and loose aspects in an exciting modern way of club music. the track works on more than one level and incorporates silly little ghosts of sounds and massive basslines and last but not least: a lot of profound sound shaping. >physx< on the b-side is much more warped, moves in way of a snake, does is surreal dreamlike and still makes these brave cuts that throw you back into life. at times this track seems to be quite dadaistic and maybe this accounts for the most experimentell track they have ever released... but it would not bukaddor & fishbeack if this track did not have a atchy clubby side to it.

**hand-stamped white label, limited edition of 400** four effluvial techno and industrial bass weight remakes of tracks from cloaks debut lp by ancient methods, justin broadrick, oyaarss, and legion of two. >versus grain< was one of the darkest transmissions we caught in 2009, whose rotten and rusted fruits provide brilliantly raw material for the remixes. its worth the cost of entry alone for ancient methods nine-minute viking ruffige remix of >r.f.i.d, the kind of northern european tribal funk workout that makes folk dance like they mean it. on a more crushed and crushing tip, legion of two dole out scorn-strength percussion and muscle tearing bass torsion on a remake of >against<, while oyaarss dismantle >sixmenace two< and rebuild it as frankensteinian dancefloor monster. to polish off the foolhardy few still standing, justin broadrick (jesu, godflesh) detonates >rust on metal< with bombastic halfstep force, giving a bitter taste of what to expect from his 3by3 album, due out next year. heavyweight.

when we heard pompeya for the first time and were told they were from moscow, we were like: - what!? are you kidding? this is probably the first russian band singing in english with such a classy brit touch and male vocal being very strong and sophisticated at the same time. they jestingly describe their style as >melodramatic popular song< and >cheenese< is indeed a very dramatic piece with simple yet powerful composition and lyrics that really make big sense. the original is very well supported by a bunch of remixes each of which is unique on its own. an-2 & samos come with a warm, relaxed and funky instrumental version which is followed by a blockbuster mix from moscow disquo maestro leonid lipelis (an entirely perfect dance version of the original that could ever exist) and finally, for those few sirs and mesdames who are not yet aesthetically satisfied and who still find themselves seated while others jump and shout, here come d-pulse with their paranoid mix that gathers the thunderclouds to the full darkness and - at the end - lets the revival sunbeams break through.

zc008 limited zodiak commune part i zodiak communes special series combines underground legends with the heroes of the present. this three track analog pleasure bomb represents years of underground madness. the music is adventurous, energetic and coming straight from the soul. curious who produced these monster tracks?

the 12-inch sampler for >panorama bar 03< could have hardly been better. hitherto unreleased, the tree tracks on ostgut ton 47 tick all the boxes that make prosumer such a unique dj: house in its various identities. soundstore starts the triptych with >take u<. greatness and frantic fever visions go hand in hand while hitting the core of chicagos second wave: dance mania, cajual, and relief with siren-like hooks in a feverish delirium. irresistible. prosumers panorama bar fellow steffi slows down the pace. >sadness< that surprisingly did not make it on her album debut is not only the opener of the actual panorama bar mix, but also a tribute to that kind of deep house that doesnt take its prefix lightly. in the end, berlins hunee teaches you a freestyle lesson. in a similar way to the young pal joey, he feeds his sampler a well-known dish, but throws in peculiarity, rascality and deviation to get new results. after all the time, this music is still not getting a bit long in the tooth. lets take a love break.

you could probably live without bad jazz, but you don t want to miss the bad jazz troupe! disregarding any kind of mindless rule – musical or otherwise – this reckless band revamps traditional rhythms and styles with modern production techniques. the bad jazz troupe brings together raw afrobeat, jazz and funk elements with the latest achievements of the electronic revolution in the world of music. the result sounds fresh and original and yet reminds one of those days when jazz was still something unruly, naughty and rebellious. what the bad jazz troupe seeks to accomplish, after all, is nothing but bad jazz in the best sense.

in a time where we have seen a full through back to the sound of the 90s where almost every new record sounds exactly like it was made back in the day. its so refreshing to have producers like martin tc around. hailing from montevideo uruguay, former member of the now defunct monoblock project martin tc proves again that its all about the cutting edge of modern funkyness. delivering a ultra funky, jazz injected techno bomb of an ep. we are proud to present martin tcs first solo project and most definitely not his last. in situ on side a is an exploration in chicago style jack combined with a keen sense latin groove and definitely is the money ticket, a sure shot bomb, a burner, a floor filler, a wmd, explosive, techno poetry in motion… if i do say so… side b continues with the funkyness of bukle but takes in further into a more challenging up tempo realm that can go either way in a house or techno set. al fin y al cabo and vice versa are an excellent reminder that techno jazz is still here and that the swing will never die.

christian burkhardt returns with his fourth solo single for raum musik. the title track of this ep which is called >bass horse< has been produced together with reuben woods from cape town better known as mey. if you listen to the tracks that are featured on this ep you will find out that all of them have a different mood but still they all got the non reversible burkhardt funk. all killer - no filler!

taragana pyjarama is 21 year old nick eriksen from denmark, >taragana pyjarama< is his debut release on french house label fool house, following the self imposed death of previous project elm ick, which went onto release on john talabots hivern label (barcelona). the release features three original tracks, ‘,sundanese blonde’,, ‘,ocean’, and ‘,girls’, the breakout track that had the mp3 blog dance community in raptures at the tail of of summer ‘,10. eriksen may feel at home creating deep new house productions but it’,s natural attraction towards the journey in his productions that resonate most, no less so in ‘,sundanese blonde’, perhaps the stand out track on the ep and the sole track to feature a vocal. ricardo tobar provides a pulsating take on ‘,girls’,. as for the definition of taragana pyjarama? we’,re still not sure.
full support from james holden, brodinski, trentemoller, dirtysoundsystem…, ...

when two highly experienced producers and djs like guido schneider and jens bond join forces you can guarantee that fans of electronic dance music will go weak at the knees. no wonder also, that their previous collaborations have always been extremely well recieved. indeed, their dubut release >oh my buffer< from 2004 can still be found residing in many record boxes around the world. after their recent exclusive release >getting sleepy< on highgrade, the berlin label now eagerly awaits the next edition from the super duo. the two tracks >bob & curly< and >out of sight< clearly showcase the rhythmic abilities of former drummer jens bond with crisp beats that get straight to the point. coupled with the ability of guido schneider to create subtle arrangements with original compositions and a sophisticated sound palette, the result is a densely atmospheric work. the tracks travel a path through warm rhythms and psychedelic vocals to the heart of the musical jungle.

the three tracks for this release go through a wide range of our sound. >cyclone< by samuel dan and feygin is a throwback to the way dirtybird records sounded back in 2006, raw and fun with big drums. but >cyclone< sounds amazing compared to the sound quality of some of those old records we all love, a definite update to the old db vibe. b-jus >babbel net< is his follow-up appearance to last years bomb track >my sneakers< that all of us played 1000 times. this is more in the smooth 808 style of dirtybird while still giving you some punch and melody. this record works really well for me and this groove crossover into a house set no problem. last but not least is maelstroms >you play<. this is a real monster, not so much for the house heads but instead for those of you who like to cross genres and explore the bass regions during your sets. definitely not your friendly deep house record this one is a real db banger in the tradition of big dirty bass we love here in san francisco.

welcome reissue of this super-rare 1978 disco classic from greek singing superstar demis roussos. the extended mix of l.o.v.e. got a hold of me featured on this highly-collectable canadian 12 inch pressing from mercury was a massive favourite of david mancusos at his legendary loft parties and understandably so. a tight percussive groove topped with beautiful swirling strings and the big mans soaring sexy vocals, this special long version provides ten minutes of blissful dubbed-out disco heaven which still rocks dancefloors today for any dj lucky enough to have a copy. the flip is also rather good, with i just live, a very useful funky workout with another positive message that includes some fantastic percussion and great harmonica action. top class!

emerson todds second release on upon you. the likable new zealander who moved to berlin via australia seems to spend his nights dreaming of the homelands. the cover and title of release number 046 are both inspired by the original natives of new zealand. emersons specially crafted sound is somewhere in-between jungle and metropolis , wild with details yet still beautifully melodic. the a1 track, >you got to< proves that a piano can kick you and a lovely little digital-topping can then combine everything into sweet dub-ness. as to be expected, the b-side is also alive with the artists agility and perfectly timed and placed thing and what-nots to turn any dance floor into an intense experience

after a few years releasing singles under different monikers, brooklyn producer lou teti launches his own label, tigers on a leash, with the debut >get away< as a certain way to kick things off right. the original is an almost hypnotic electro-builder with an 80s touch, yet with a sound thats still firmly planted in 2011. even though tetis vocals are used more like another instrument than as a center piece, sneaking in and out against the guitars and synths, it s still the kind of memorable vocal line that you will find ringing in your head as you wake up. drop out orchestras club cut is a just that, a cut to get any club moving. in true doo style, they take a great original and create something special, but completely different. jkrivs deep&disco mix takes deep to a new low, with a breakdown thats truly epic. and finally theres mario basanovs remix. a beautiful deep house groover like only mario can supply.

still above the clouds, team skylevel picks up a fellow pilot and drops a package that is all about the raw essence. a1 is a thrilling jazz funk onslaught that hits you hard right from the beginning. an energetic uptempo groove meets the most wicked guitar patterns, teasing with beautiful melody fragments while clearly focusing on its irresistable rhythm section. no jazz on b1, but an uncompromising barebone funk stomper of the highest order that locks you in a cell made of drums and bass holding the promise that you wont find >disco< within a five mile radius. b2 obviously has to reduce the heat and takes you on a ride through the swampy mississippi delta of the early seventies, telling you a truly mystic sunflower county story you might not have heard by now

the third release from tbd, pet project of nycs acclaimed duo comprised of justin vandervolgen (golf channel) and nyc disco don lee douglas features 2 new massive tracks which will undoubtedly do the talking. the ep fronts a noticeably more restrained and mature sound, while still maintaining the originality and power of the previous classic releases.

san francisco-based producer antiserum steps up for dub police with two unique collaborations, featuring local producers ill-esha and 12th planet respectively. his music is a masterfully crafted fusion of influences that results in a sound entirely his own, balancing light against dark and colour against pure bass pressure. showcasing a deft musicality as well as an unrivalled talent for system shaking productions, antiserum is taking the scene by storm. releases on narco.hz, s.c.u.m and argon amongst others have already propelled him to the forefront of the rapidly growing american dubstep scene, with plenty more still to come. on the a side, he is joined by ill-esha on >zephyr<, a sick g-funk inflected roller. skittering hi-hats and tough drums lay the foundations on this one, with the deep, smooth bass sweeping underneath. the vibrant synths weave in and out of each other with ease, swimming around the mix and swelling expansively through the speakers. on the flip he teams up with 12th planet on the massive >purple & gold<. the g-funk influences continue to flow through this track, pinned down by a hard bassline and taut drums. the shimmering synths sliding over the top of the percussion and off into the atmosphere give the track an epic stop-in-your-tracks effect.

with ifumes first ever release >polaroid love< ep still fresh on our decks and receiving many props from around the globe, master-hs exotic komplex de deep imprint, for their next release, turn to a far more established artist in the form of label regular, francois dubois. whilst his techno alias funk d void has taken the lions share of the plaudits for many years, lars sandbergs other alter ego has, in recent times, shone just as brightly. whilst the tough beats of fdv are firmly routed in his scottish homeland, its no doubt the warmer climate of his spanish residence that enthuses and drives the deeper and smoother sounds of francois dubois. releases and remixes from the francophile have graced such labels as urban torque, plastic city, freerange and buzzin fly.

the much anticipated follow up to last years balearic opus >panorama suite< by max essa. >heartache (original 86 club mix)< - this funky early nineties inspired house groove seems to be channeling all the best bits of fpi project yet manages to still sound brand new and wholeheartedly relevant. this track is heading for the dancefloor - unashamedly uplifting and funky - a real breath of fresh air. sample free and featuring max on vocals. i challenge you to not move to this. >feel it in your body< is a more chuggy, dubby affair featuring a vocal chant not dissimilar to e-man grooving. funky guitars groove the track along until the synths lift it up to the next level. trancey balearic synth slo-mo goodness.

sampler 1 of 2 from in flagrantis new album. predictably jacked to the brim full of their signature no-gristle, no-glory aesthetic. succeeding 2006s wronger than anyone else and 2009s brash & vulgar, in flagrantis sasa crnobrnja and alex gloor have left behind their vintage porn-chic sensibilities and instead turn to yesterdays trashed goods for inspiration. >flea markets and recycling parts of our production are really at the center of this album,< said the now london-based crnobrnja. >i like things to be old and run-down,< added alex gloor, who still resides in basel. >so i let myself be inspired by one of my favorite places to spend time: 1970s- 80s new york city.< among four killer tracks, >prelude to chaos< reminisces the days where the finest of 69-cent wines glistened in the gutters outside the arcade.
