superb minimal hypnotic techhouse ride... incl minimal and still melodic sleeper thief remix... already played by anja schneider, karotte ...

..... if minimal was this summers techno then metric is this winters scarf and mittens. warm, subtle & enticing deep house, >holding< is a concoction of pulsating pads, strings and deep grooving bass. on the flip dani koenig provides an excellent compliment with a haunting remix darker, edgier whilst still relying on the lush strings and pads from the original

the restart of the legendary evolution/universal language label! the first 3 mind blowing releases (re-mastered) and presented as a limited 3x12 package (the reload ep, the autoreload ep and the biosphere ep). mark pritchard and tom middleton released in the early 90s some highly limited records on their evolution label which later became universal language. all records were groundbreaking releases and tom and mark continued to produce many great records as reload, global communications, jedi knights, harmonic 33 and several other projects. these 3 records represent the beginning of the electronica movement which they started with like minded artist such as aphex twin, the black dog, autechre and some others. deep raw and forward thinking techno in the same style as aphex twins early releases, as one or balil. mark and tom were strongly influenced by derrick may, juan atkins, carl craig, kraftwerk, mike dunn and richie hawtin to name a few and they produced some amazing records which still are not outdated almost 15 years after their original release. among their fans of their releases is a huge list of big names who all recognized the quality of the music made by these two guys. this is a great package with all three of the ultra rare original releases together. must have

the beginerz drop a very dark, electro mover for those gritty 4am moments in the form of no way a swift move away from there well rounded, pumpping funky house sound but still very good and will appeal to all you house djs outhere. bounce however is a classic beginerz tune that will be straight into your sets

the fifth 12 is the best of his seven days album, wich was released in 1997. paranoid as the title sugests is haunting while - the bar- still will cause mayhem on the dancefloor as it has done for years. - eclectic- takes you on a trip to wherever you want to go

its quite refreshing when a new label imprint comes along and the first release absolutely blows us away. this is a new sub label of zenit being organised by none other than alex bau. the sound is a refreshing take on techno with the tracks leaning heavily more towards a modern minimal sound but with still enough in to pack a serious punch on the dancefloor. the first release is a breathtaking 2 tracker from alex bau himself. the first thing that strikes you is the level of production with the a side, a deeper minimal tune with outstanding soundscapes and dubbed out basslines for the after hours set. the flip being a driving pulsey techno floor burner with acidic riffs and a seriously groovy bassline and percussion pattern

at the moment we cant get enough of our favourite brasilian. on his new single gui goes to a little bit more minimal tech but his southamerican touch is still guaranteed.. techno toughness meets sexy hip action !!

les bandits du temps who consists of underground solution first capo ollie grabowski and switzerland senior house don mirco esposito throw some weight around and hand out a righteous disco funk beating with some lovin dropping a beat heavier like an anvil, slightly smoothered with some love sounds is only a short foreplay before a hard slapping bassline, wild sweeping disco strings and piercing horn choruses chase you through a enduring pleasure session with numerous ups and downs testing your stamina to the max. if still got power reserves in your loins to go another round flip over for a deeper dub, stripped down and centered around the pounding bassline with more filtered strings in the background. studio 45 pick up the pace and intensity again to send you back to sweaty peaktime frenzy

excellent deep grooving house 3 tracker with nice strings and amospheric synth riffs

dave offers us 2 club bombs with okinawa dance and ocean club. the refined sound of dave dk has been lately on alot releases in the form of remixes but it is still the original productions which shines through. both tracks groove like hell with the familiar funky bass and tricky synth production we love him for

señor villalobos is back again on playhouse so roll out the red carpet for his >fizheuer zieheuer< monster which is no longer than 37 minutes!!! of course we had to divide it into 2 parts to bring it on the vinyl, but it still is a wicked tune. its around for a while now and a special secret weapon in ricardo s sets all over the world, causing mayhem wherever he plays it! 100% pure hypnosis, this track plays with certain sounds that you would not really expect from this minimal master in the first place... but it s the way he s using these east european horns which is done so well and their integration in the beats that makes the track so exciting

as a coproducer of jennifer cardini he could already rest on some laurels, but he still has own plans. after a lonesome 12inch on freak n chic this likeable party terrorist, not goes free of charge with paris anarchos like dj:terry: co-operates, now to the attack. sub static presents two properly psychedelic minimum racketeers as they could hardly fall out more individualistically.correctly fitted with spring beats deliver the through ball for precisely placed schizo chords and who is still responsible there, has missed the takeoff. hypnotically the sounds mill themselves by the bodies and hatch behind the diaphragm, only to press ahead at the right moment like alien out of ripley. techno, how he raves and dances. to one howls, yesyes

hot on the heels of the prins thomas mixes come these wigged out house versions from parisian franck roger, plus the original and legendary >la stache< mix. franck roger is carving out a great reputation on the house scene at the moment, his releases on his own real tone records have set the benchmark for other productions on sonar kollektiv/innervisions, seasons recordings and kenlou records, as well as remixes of blaze, roy ayers and jazztronic. franck opts for a sophisticated house rework of >moustache<, its techy moments peeking in and out of the rattling percussion, with oodles of funk layered on top. the >la stache< original mix from blackjoy is included on this release also, a huge underground cut with the nu-disco/balearic/cosmic crowd on its first release on bob sinclar s yellow label last year, and still sounding just as vital today

great classical loop touched minimal detroit techno tracks by techno legend robert hood !! incl remix by ur atist los hermanos..

the first three releases from this label are still causing quite a stir on the heavier side of the scene and if this release is anything to go by, it looks like this label will be another big contender come breakspoll! the fourth release comes from more fresh new talent state side. and features two bady boy mixes on the flip from glitch artists soteg and datapusher & modolus two artists who are pushing production techniques further than previosly thought possible

chicago pioneer tyrone latrelle comes back to house music after 15 years ! having establish himself as one of the most important originators in house music, producing such important acid records as acid my mind (together with bill mösley) or bang the 303 while we still havent managed to meet him despite a few trips to chicago, we get this dat tape in the post a few months ago. it seems tyrone is back on track or may be hes just sending his archives

patrik skoog s deeper minimal side agaric give his debut on the mikael stravoestrand label sunset diskos !! two funky floating minimal and bassfull tunes in the agaric style and a very hot remix by mister east berlin jay haze !!!

the incredible ibiza mega club hit of 2005 and 2006 returns with two brand new remixes from no one else than martin eyerer and paul woolford! martin eyerer shows us a completely new shade of the track as he puts the distinctive vocals into a driving and very reduced but still kicking drum pattern. definitely something for never ending dc 10 nights. however paul woolford demonstrates that the trentemøller remix of 2004 is not the only version for peaktime action. >wooly< is succeed in giving the track a stark new and fresh kick..

2 album tracks ft. paris the black fu !! combining sams love of house, classic techno, electro, latin and jazz influences, >twisted< is a beautiful journey through an electronic landscape littered with orchestral sweeps, delicate pads, sublime robert owens-esque vocals, dancefloor beats and heart tugging strings. deetron shows us that techno can still conjure moments of beauty whilst still keeping us on the dancefloor

henrik van sivers actually uses hand claps, synth power and drum rolls and the result is purest, stunning 4/4 swedish disco music. for everyone who prefers the more minimal and dry way, the >meaty minimal dub version< will be just perfect. misc adds the necessary aggressiveness for the large-scale rave party, but still with loads of charme and esprit !!!!

originally released on dark house music s seminal >trackhead series< some years ago this monster of a track receives the remix and remaster treatment on its own 12inch courtesy of mark williams and terry mitchell . not in his usual style at all, rush takes an atmospheric, and yet still extremely tough journey through the brazilian outback.

according to dan curtin: this work shows history and knowledge of the music that inspired most of what we listen to today. every track demonstrates a rich and thick production that perfectly compliments the musical contents. ranson definitely pays homage to the sound of the detroit originators but still displays his own direction and identity. this is future soul with emotion unbound to our planet. so far full support from dan curtin/ fabrice lig and funk d void!

die titelhelden diverser magazine mit ihrem neuen album. schnuckelige musik von schnuckeligen jungs !!!

aroy dee strikes again. after his gorgeous track on the magnificent planet delsin compilation, two more spiritual old school chicago house movers from the amsterdam architect. the man aroy dee, still making his music on the same few pieces of hardware as 15 years ago, comes in with two gorgeous pieces of music. dark day brings back memories to old virgo tracks, the legendary group on chicagos trax records. hypnotizing synth lines along the smooth drum patterns. embrace on the flip has a more 80s european vintage feel to it, with its darker repeating synth line. a great record for all people loving old school chicago

back in stock! deep minimal atmospheric tracks !!

inc cassy remix (perlon, panoramabar), first up is the more jackin minimal tune of the lot.… the second tune of the a-side takes on a more trancey and bleepy approach as string-like pads are brought in to mellow out the feeling of the track and support the crunchy and vibrant bass line. the major elements of b1 are comprised of an acidlike bass line and a staccato house piano. for the fourth and final track of the ep, cassy is brought in on remix duty and does a makeover of bleepy creep (a1) that introduces new elements and new energies. the remix is based on minimal references and stays low and repetitive

this time, still with the same >electronic pop< feelings and new waves, lets get back in the 90s! here s the follow up 12 inch inch of the already well known shiny grey. pavle kovacevic and raphael soudre are the two parisian artist discovered by bob sinclar. >heaven can t wait< & >i m a dreamer< comes right after >why< their first single which included a sample of >sweet dreams< by annie lennox and dave stewart

kraze aka. richard jean laurent began songwriting and performing in 1985. in 1988 he created >i say shut up< and >the party<, who became a house music classics even before that term existed! these songs catapulted kraze into one of house music s first bonafide stars, making him performing at venues ranging from the best clubs to wembley arena and the prince of tunesia s home. he reached top 10 all over the world, but especially >the party< is still used from george clinton to david bowie to political campaigns to radio themes to coney islands.

nice price deal !!! quests rather fresh tech funk imprint have recruited the experimental stylings of d&b artists sunchase, whos ditched the neck snapping hi hats and tearing blines and delivered a mighty double a of filth ridden tech funk. >cpu< tips its hat to the farty b-lines of dirtmonger d.ramirez and builds really well. its a shame the flipside >motherboard< isnt so strong, but this is still worth checking

just brilliant pumping mix by o.koletzki (we are still speechless...)!! plus more mixes by mxs by mr oizo and add noise mix

the original crazy gang album from 1983 plays like a soundtrack of a fictive trashy 80s teenage movie, we ve taken 2 of the stand out tracks for this 12inch, remastered and extended. produced by claudio simonetti (some of the most memorable italo-disco productions and one of the founding members of cult-horror band goblin), along with 2 fellow goblin members (walter martino and massimo morante). every sunday is a unique blend of horror-disco and robot electro. deep vocoders in contrast with the child chorus turn this into a dark and intense track, surely one of simonetti s most electronic productions and an obvious wink to his goblin background. the original recording has been extended to 8 minutes, exclusive to this 12. telephone computer is a quirky electronic disco track with a bassline that sounds almost like ebm, which still has a very modern feel to it. includes the original album version plus a more dj and dancefloor friendly edit. delicious italo electro

damon proves he s still got it, revisiting his subtractive synthesis project for an eighth time. the ep takes us on a spaced-out journey into the future with tribal beats, ethereal sounds and a sometimesquirky nature. on the a-side >space time< is a haunting track with a galloping feel and mesmerizing bass line. >evolute< is a masterful track that s both deep and funky...

multi vitamins gives birth to its third baby, mv 03: 4 tracks, 2 brains, conceiving some of the freshest and most forward thinking expressions in nowadays electronic dance music. sebastian russell leads you to some exotic, fascinating and still dopy territories. den adds some japanese folk to his cyber-minimal style. sebastian s misbehave breaks in with a reverberating crash and a rapping sample. to follow, while a low-fi soul penetrating bass line keeps the hips shaking, the combination of twisted mechanics, computer sounds with thirst-quenching vocals creates a mixed effect of drunkness and sensuality. sebastian s fusion of contrasting elements follows with chinese squid, where the warm melody of a canang ibu floats over a line of raw funked-up drums. den s sister 1 represents the most minimal piece of mv 03 dance output, characterised by a solid 4/4 bass kick, ultra filtered hi-hats and glitchy subtle electronic textures. n 23 to the beach is featured by a heavy slow-pi ched kick, spaced out with drills and chirurgical noises. a female vocal pattern kicks in humble, but after a hiccupping stage, the geisha is on fire

spanish dj s living in madrid,they came together in 2000 to make the band >women affair< to share their irresitible desire to make music and gigs. >dance like a whore< is released in 2003 on >still fucking with the star whores records< compilation. they brought out a new ep in 2004, >frame by frame sex< which was playlisted by par ascii disko, napsugar et hakan lidbo. in 2005, they signed with od records. >my cousin blowjob< ep contains 2 original tracks from the duet,a remix by ascii disko and further one from dick voodoo

ably assisted by vegas new percussion pal luisito quintero master at work louie and the blaze boys complete nine and a half minutes of sublime jazz invested offbeat house joshuas jam has the us house legends at their most esoteric literally jamming for their own pleasure yet still coming up with the goods like a late 90s claussell production the dub mix feels as if it has slightly more bottom end due to numerous occasions where the bass drops out only to return stronger for it

new get physical sublabel !! these tracks are powerful and somewhat sinister affairs that make most sense when experienced as a blinding strobe light cuts through the back drop of dry ice in a darkened club.marsha sets a completely different tone. its still based on the same blend of windy city funk and intricate electronic rhythms, but the way that the seductive, chiming chords and dreamy break down unfold over the steely drums suggest that einzelkind has fallen in love. certainly, itll be hard not to be seduced by this layered, evocative track, especially if you hear it after a long night spent listening to intense techno.so there you have it: get physical has dragged a new label, kindisch. kicking and screaming into this world: let it be the place where you go to get all your teenage kicks!

wer burial im allgemeinen und auch die remixe mag, dem sei das hier wärmstens empfohlen !!

exotik gefällig? wie wärs mit einem finnischen portugiesen, der verdammt deepe latenight tracks bastelt? das ganze wird auch noch mit einem ultraslicken gui boratto remix aufgefettet. aber hallo..

idj calls them the next big thing and they could just be right, with a sound unmatched by anyone else on the scene, these boys prove blood still runs thick through the veins of breakbeat and theres no sign of it fading just yet

the dutch techno label found it was time to revive one of his biggest smashers called >birds on e< the title gives us quite a good idea of what this stuff is all about… this time there are two brandnu remixers in this new djax-pack including the original version! please give these men a warm welcome: sandy warez & the edge of motion crew fire away two mind-blowing nukes and show that the heart of acid music still has a pulse… and it s getting stronger

audio assault is still hanging strong, fighting their guerrilla battle to put quality dark techno back in the place where it belongs, total domination

silversurfer delivers to ntrop >lay down< a hypnotic techno track filled with his known moving drum sets besides his psychotic sounds. to prove his diversity on the b-side comes >one step<, deep, ethereal but still thirsty

as always with block, minimal, electro-ness is what s provided but this time with a subtle class that will simply blow you away. >killaz< slowly builds around an amazing melody, which changes with every turn. but wait till you hear >smoke<. jeeeezus! this is built round the mother of all bass lines and i dare anyone to try and stand still when this is playing

legendary series to be continued with 2 acts from the uk. first >cool cuts< releases have been much in demand, and peeps are still trying to get hold of them - if you are lucky! a side is a brilliant track by the b-siderz - in the vein of some more proper house sounding stuff with nice sublime guitars struggling their way thru 2 big breaks complemented with an pushing b line and sophisticated acid sounds in between. other side is our beloved ma saski from manchester with an already massive electro tinged primetime stomper. the guys from the >tribal gathering< camp play around with some b lines emphasising those little but most effectual breaks through a wicked male poetry. mind you, that tune goes on and on without getting lame - dj linus always starts his sets with that tune - big!
