gaetano parisio gets the funk back with this 4track release on claque musique. dirty talk brings new sounds and adds some sweetness still keeping the typical gaetanos killer grooves! a must have! supported by marco carola, anja schneider, alexi delano, dirt crew, luca bacchetti, paco osuna, margaret dygas, davide squillace, monika kruse and many more!

our man ryo murakami sends over the next transmission in his exciting and growing catalogue of productions. always inspired by the raw and soulful sound of chicago and new york, this next ep puts forward his vision and continuation of this timeless house feeling. lead track >just for this< is a wonderful celebration of heavy slow motion house. classic house references and even a few classic samples meet in a dirty, deep ride into the tweaked out and extended vibes of the late night people. a journey through the city of house, a perfect refl ection of the times, bringing warmth and light in a once colder world. graeme clark aka the revenge, a fi gure who has enjoyed much success with his deviant disco sound, steps up for remix duties - and a fi ne job he does too! building his mix from the bare bones, adding a little more pace and forward momentum, his version is also tightly bound within the roots of emotional, deep vibes house. this is an outstanding remix - functional, clear and fully devoted to the classic sound. on the b side a mysterious original, >untitled<, sees ryo pushing things a little further still. the energy levels climb higher and higher as this modern hypno-houser phases and pulses upwards over nearly 8 minutes of jacking, sample laden freshness. we love to visit ryos house, where everybodys welcome and theres smiles all round

while the first outing on this new label from the italian edit champs is still a highlight in many a djs box another incredible outing from ltj comes along. two more reworks of fine soul and disco tunes that have a strong chicago deephouse sensibility to them. this received a record number of hits on soundcloud and might even be bigger than the first swde!

we are delighted to welcome the mighty russ gabriel to ever expanding dieb family and have him contribute this excellent 3 track ep to our catalogue. fans of russ sound as well as the uninitiated will not be disappointed here as there is a very wide stylistic audio palette on display here-yet still retaining russ quintessential production aesthetic and quality.
ranging from the epic, old school >returning home< with its haunting pad and melodious bass arpeggios to the stripped back chugging tech house workout of >push it along< and the futuristic, techno-infused >narita express< with its modulating stabs and catchy, repetitive bassline it is easy to see why russ is and has always been considered a unique and exciting music visionary equally capable of creating harmonic, atmospheric soundscapes or high energy, functional beats aimed squarely at the dancefloor.
whatever your preference, this package is sure to satisfy even the most discerning ear or demanding club crowd! enjoy!

nach dem ueberwaeltigenden erfolg des ersten samplers dirty laundry aus dem jahr 2004 gibts jetzt mehr country songs interpretiert von afroamerikanischen kuenstlern...

alejandro the argentinian fellow, also known for his monikas >funzion< and >e bridge<, released on lomidhigh, alphahouse and sushitech among others, presents us two energetic musical journeys for the meander imprint. this is warm and funky music, simply pure and rich in its dynamic, drive and groove. stunning and very ajejandros own style. the track selva introduces itsself with a temper didgeridoo eclecticism. followed by lush heavy sub basses with a dash of acid and wandering crispy sounds, his tricky rhythm programmings are blowing us away into dramatic dancefloorbliss. spiced up toms between high frequent synthesizers underline its constant presence. a melodic, organic and crafty piece of house music. on the flipside we have >pampa<. the obviously traditional south american influences of our talent merge with modernism, fluxion and frequency precision. an emotional trip that let somehow emerge images of dreamy landscapes while being still a dance orientated killer tune. with this record alejandro emphasizes his creativity as a standout producer for dense and powerfull creations

played by: dj vibe, 2000 and one, bushwacka, slam, michel de hey, axwell, funk d void ...
mauro picotto returns to spread more of his own brand of italian-alchemy amour! after the fantastic success of >diamond<, picotto returns with his end of summer anthem >love message<. with the success of his meganite ibiza parties still fresh, mauro drops his latest dancefloor gem. the don of melodic techno takes a softer, yet no less powerful route on >love message<. housey beats, and euphoric synth line make the original a sure fire, hands in the air number.
on remix duty and in keeping with his trend of mighty mix packages, the label head has drafted two of the hottest talents of today. first up is belgium producer and great stuff artist ramon tapia, who turns in not one, but two takes on the original. his >first message< is a low-slung tech groove machine, that chops the originals synths and stabs them throughout. his >second message<ups the pace with its rolling bassline and white noise breaks, again the cut-up synth stabs feature.

clone classic cuts continues to dig in the crates to bring back forgotten or obscure records from the past! this is 3 tracks by da posse (produced by hula... one of the outthere brothers... and with maurice joshua, k fingers & martell). strings & its my life are chicagos take on detroit techno... a rare release that sounds like a early derrick may record (think the dance) but maybe slightly more straight forward (as one might expect from chicago). a rare piece in house and techno history since this is one of the rare examples of a record that doesnt show the clear difference between chicago and detroit in the late 80s. this record most likely got produced within 1 year after rhythm = rhythms legendary nude photo and strings of life releases (both 87 and this came out in 88). as extra bonus track we have the groove. a phat bass driven chicago acid track that still rocks it. another fine piece of powerful dance music history back in the spot light!

cityfox moves on and winds up its first label year with a pretty crazy ep by zurichs hottest new talent andri. dive into his funky, weird, psychedelic worldwhile listening to the seven tracks. they all feature andris unique groove, sound and vocal signature. and still, each one of them has its own character: be it the straight forwardness in the change, the cool groove of feel in love with uuu, the catchy funky vox in housers revenge or the hit machine tschege.

played by: richie hawtin, raresh, cisco ferreira (the advent), matt star, xpansul, nicolas duvoisin, mirco violi, frank leicher, sebastian altstadt, locke aka dermaptera, sean o neal (someone else), jon gurd ...
igor jadranin aka en-tropic signs his new ep – >between two extremes<, for the record label underground limited.this release clearly proves igors unmatched talent and maturity in music production. the lead theme of this ep >between two extremes< – a very deep and powerful theme, carefully broken by rhythm and still a gentle and emotional jazzy looped composition – is surely my personal favorite from this release.cooperation with marko vukovic is embodied in the track >back again< – a minimal deep house filled with rhythm, not the kind of rhythm produced by percussions and other drumming instruments but rather by a cut vocal and dirty synth, which breathe soul into this theme.
>zero loss circuit<, which has an expressed club spirit, is the ideal piece for building an atmosphere in a club. igors music definitively deserves a spot on every good djs list.
(zoran petkovski review)

everybody noticed by now that the serious beats work best in the clubs still and this is one of those future classics in the making! big drums, nasty synths, driving percussion and wicked samples. big room techno from the stay up forever boys.

in addition to our first artist album on connaisseur >estroe – elemental assets< and after the first successful vinyl extract >le flaneur<, we present the second single >updraft< with interpretations by joel mull and our man from the big apple tedd patterson. all 12 remixes will be released as remix album in digital plus a few remix extracts on vinyl. look forward to more remixes from audiofly, ripperton, steve rachmad, melon, beatpharmacy, patrick chardronnet, roberto rodriguez and nuno dos santos.
updraft – the second remix extract on vinyl is by true veterans in techno business. the first rework is done by joey mull, who delivers a straight pumping but still melodic dance floor mover.

a1) new love - this elevating new track is deep, funky and sexy. the beat is ever growing, the bass never ending. disco mixes with deep winking and eye to electro. b1) low down - sounds like a completely different atmosphere. still funky, its the perfect tune for a poolside party in la as the sun is going down... smart, sexy ladies get the party started moving to this disco house dance tune. b2) dont stop is the natural conclusion to this 12inch. we re at the break of dawn when this drops, as the sun is rising. slow bpms and vocal intermissions for those whose feet still want to move to the groove.

classic sounding track by two long going and respected techno heads.. fabrice lig and titonton. these guys take it back to the early nineties when techno was still fresh and new... the days that titonton and dan curtin were debuting with their sophisticated techno sound. raw funky 909 percussion, bleepy analogue synths and great warm string sounds and beautiful melodies. purist techno tracks that never go out of style and reminds the old blokes why we loved techno in that period so much. and it shows the young cats that there is more then the standard dj tool techno! beanfield is on remix duty here... and he delivers an updated modern dancefloor friendly house version with a great string section that reminds a bit of knights of the jaguar and a killer bassline after the break. check!

excellent chicago styled deephouse cuts with elements of soul , funk and disco too... very happy feeling.. very very serious dj food

baaz comes back home at sthlmaudio recordings for a rich and surprise full new ep called woodland drive. the 12 inches start right off with sink, a very baaz styled house track which is dance appealing and yet refined and subtle. a raw bassy groove monster track. the next one might surprise the baaz fans out there, yes it’s a hip-hop track featuring the soul vocals of katrina marie. we figured out that it might be fresh to provide some other point of view in the repeating herself dance scene. the b side strikes hard on the house side again, it s gone is one of those pure shining and rolling tracks. once to you uplift it you’d just let it go. a bass heavy subtle and groovy house cut, baaz trademark?! essential. and again the b2 and closing track is an lush and low key hip-hop science out of baaz most retired places

playmobil is celebrating its tenth release with the mastermind from greece mister mihalis safras. with all the work he does for his incredible material labels he still found the time to produce these magnificent tracks for playmobil! 3 great tracks that have been tested over and over on his many trips abroad. you know what to expect..

ed rush & nicos >defect< was originally released in 1996 on the no u turn label as the flipside to >mothership< andfeatured on the classic >torque< compilation album. no u turn not only influenced a generation of drum & bassproducers but the labels sound also resonated with techno producers around the world and that influence can still be heard today. now defect returns on perc trax with 2 new mixes to form a truly unique release. this is the 1st time no u turn has granted a license for a remix and the respect that both remixers have the label is clear from the mixes they have produced.

the artform label began in 1997 formed by jamie anderson as a platform to release his studio productions. artform soon had the attention and support of other music pioneers and released early works by jerome, steve rachmad, dave angel, stanny franssen and jesse rose. the mission for the label was to bridge the divide between genres of electronic music by experimenting with fusing styles and developing new sounds, a legacy which is still apparent today. after a short break artform now returns with a fresh new track by jamie anderson to relaunch the label joined by a huge remix from amsterdam‘s jerome. the pair of have worked together many times with releases on 100% pure and jerome‘s own outland records. this past year has seen jamie‘s productions on labels such as cocoon, rekids, klang elekronik and harthouse, and this release proves to be one of his strongest yet. predator continues in the labels direction of forward thinking tech house with a classic sound of the 909 creating a sinister backdrop of detroit inspired techno.

marco bernardi was an obvious choice for who got to do the first album on frustrated funk. representing his most delicate compositions ranging from freaky minimalistic electro trickery to the sweetest and intense excursions in the field of what they use to call intelligent techno . we simply picked out his best moments along the line and put it all together for this brilliant presentation. with this piece of art we show again that we don t give a shit about new styles, trends and hypes. we just want to deliver a very sweet package that you will still be playing and cherish in 15+ years from now. this deluxe double vinyl album will be sweetened with hand stamped label art, hand made screen printed sleeves and pressed on pretty pink transparent vinyl to make this package extra special. enjoy!!

for the second cassius records and to carry on with the youth speed, trouble, cigarettes adventure we give you four remixes done by talented producers across europe from milano italy… reset! we met the three kids from reset! in magazinni generale while playing, their set was powerfull but also full of respect and influences from hip hop, soul and dance music in general, we finished our sets back to back and since this day love them their trouble mix could have been done by the jbs if they were still twenty something and into house music… it rocks and never stopsno use to present the music from radio slave, the big difference with a majority of other producers is that we both can recognise his tracks in a few bars only, also in the way it streches to crazy length and takes you in a trance that could have come directly from lagos in 1973 matt embrace the same philosophy we all cherish at cassius records the no boundarys way hes more than minimal, more than electro more than techno he stripped down ystc to the max and his remix played at the good time on a good system is a true chicagoan infused gem then after chaos

drums have been discovered in almost every part of the world. drums first appeared, however, in excavation from the neolithic era. the oldest recorded drum is from 6000 bc. mesopotamian ruins contain small cylindrical drums that are as old as 3000 bc. egyptian tombs have yielded small drums used for ceremonies. several caves in peru contain wall markings depicting drums in various aspects of societal life. it is strongly suspected that indian drums from the middle east are as old as 5000 bc. the american indians used a series of wood and gourd drums for their celebrations and some of these drums are still used in ceremonies today. drums were not always used for music. in africa, where music is simply an interpretation of everyday life in sound, drums were used as speech. simply a pattern of beats played in a certain way could communicate vast amounts of information. jeff mills creates the drummer (pm-022). 6 track 12 vinyl ep. mills communicates through only a classic roland tr-808 drum machine, exclusively made for the purpose maker/axis. each track dedicated for the masters of the art form of drumming like: neil peart, billy cobham, buddy rich and others, mills explores how drum patterns and rhythms remain communicative on a higher level that has endured through evolution of humanity.

2nd part with more killer tracks, check it out !!

rippertons perspectiv label with its 2nd split release giving new talents a stage. 1st split is a huge release with two sublime tracks by agnes and johnny white. not sure if this one tops it... but crowdpleaser and entlet deliver both two tracks that stand out of the pack!!. especially the b2 track by entlet needs some extra attention... a contemporary house track that has so much hidden power. phat old school bassline kills it everywhere.. and then the tracks continues to build and build.... like a modern dj pierre wildpitch affair! crowdpleaser delivers two solid tracks that went straight into the dj sets of many influential djs. highly effective and useful house tools (a description that actually doesnt do justice to these tracks which are much more then just tools!) ripperton proofs once again to have a great ear for new talents!!

nachtstrom schallplatten is back with a brand-new ep produced by munichs tobias felbermayr. the vinyl will contain 3 superb techno-smashers in the best tradition of extrawelt, johannes heil and gregor tresher.
tobis career started in the year 2005 under the pseudonym joey approx. at that time he was already playing in well-known clubs such as rote sonne and harry klein - both located in the beautiful capital of bavaria munich.in 2008, he could convince his good friend johannes heil to make him part of his label metatron recordings. his first release immediately was a huge success and entered the top-50 of the techno-charts in europe and in japan even went into the top-10. after playing together with artists such as johannes heil, spektre, acid maria, piatto, tim green, daniel schlender and many more, he is still on his search for that special sound and one thing is for sure: he s gonna find it!
we are proud to welcome tobi as part of our nachtstrom family and to release his first ep on our label.

2nd single from the patrick cowley & jorge socarras album >catholic<. bleeding edge remixing by oni ayhun and noble editing by morgan geist added for your pleasure. while still everybody keeps guessing whos behind the mysterious and burning hot works of oni ayhun, macros got the mans first ever remix! o.a. obscured cowleys >memory fails me< with his trademark darkness and took it to the edge of engineering. and its got all that feeling, too! if you asked yourself what a forward-thinking patrick cowley might have done today - here is a serious offering. >burn brighter flame< is the disco heart of the album. with all disco crate digging of the decade, >bbf< is the ultimate find. since the original artists had intended this one to be a single theres also a stunning instrumental! we just remember how everybody got tears of joy when finn johannsen mixed the different versions of this for the first time at berlins picknick. who could have been asked for an edit of this gem other than metro areas morgan geist? creating a dialogue between the vocal and instrumental versions, his edit offers even more variety for the dj to mix in and out of this great tune.

mothership transmission 027 – maetrik the >space chronic< ep was the biggest selling record on mothership last year and for good reason. maetrik has an incredible knack for innovative and original sound design. he is also able to package these sounds inside great arrangements and very dj friendly beats. this is what really separates his records from the rest of the sound design experts. >show me< is the perfect example of maetriks amazing talents. after several minutes of a super funky techno groove (2 things that dont usually go together) we find ourselves at the drop. and this drop is one of the best we have ever heard. it sounds like an angry wasp is flying full speed through the inside of your brain. the riff will melt your mind. >simpleman< on the other side is a great example of maetriks versatility. you might be expecting a hardcore techno bit but instead we hear a very groovy, almost reserved jazz techno fusion joint, but still with the heavy beats to keep it real for the clubs.

great electro with the french usual twist that appeal to worldwide dancefloor as usual

belgian producers sierra sam & marcus vector return to their house-oriented project d.i.y. (dumb irresponsible youth) for three more sly, sexy groovers, with contributions from dop, big bully and markus fix.
while sam and marcus are generally known for their more techno-focused productions, last years house tools vol. 1 was a minor hit, with tracks included in ellen alliens resident advisor podcast, jay hazes recent fabric47 mix cd, and m.a.n.d.y.s charts. since then, they ve kept busy with their own toys for boys label, meanwhile sierra sam has co-produced the debut album by bloody mary on contexterrior.
still, they ve found the time to crank out these new elegant-yet-sleazy cuts, and while vol. 1 was purely instrumental, for vol. 2 they ve roped in some guest vocalists. first up is their collab with comrades dop (circus company, eklo, supplement facts). >kilimanjaro< features d.i.y.s tribal bounce combined with dops seedy, trent reznor-on-opiates vocal delivery.
the flipside has two versions of >suck my caulk<: d.i.y.s original elevates thelevel of melody and sunshine, weaving in the voice of big bully (known forhis work on spectral, get physical and vakant). markus fix of cecille offers his own interpretation, bringing the track down into deep house territory. placed in the right hands, these tools can do some serious dancefloor damage!

our jazzy multi instrumentalist, dewalta a.k.a. david koch, returns to vakant with another popping fresh release, as earnestly house as house can get. since his first vakant release in 2008 (va021 salgaro/farina) davids music has taken him around the world in black largely covering our earths northern and southern hemispheres. side a is graced by move yo sitting as close to late 1990s baby ford as one can get without a time machine and personal guide to londons underground. david somehow owns this genre while still making it distinctly his. b1 night shade keeps the housey goose bumps going with a drier and more direct approach. cheeky bleeps and chunky bass balance dark spacey vocals to land the track somewhere between night and day. >angels trumpet< at the b2 position closes this stellar ep out with a track that again borrows from the genre, but continues way beyond its standards with melodic elements that push and pull you in multiple directions resulting in no less than dance floor catharsis.

as the lead front room representative daniel steinberg has been one of the main flavours on the label, with this being his fourth release for front room recordings. daniels records frequently land in the crates of artists such as ricardo villalobos, luciano, claude vonstroke, richie hawtin and jesse rose to name a few. his previous releases on front room like cobra limbos, uptown and keep on movin still resonate around the dance floors of the world, proving time and time again that daniels sound continues to inspire djs and club goers alike.as well as having great success on front room recordings daniel also regularly airs his talents on labels such as style rockets, leftroom and grandpetrol. daniel can also be regularly found trotting the globe to showcase his skills at some of the finest clubs throughout the world. daniel steinberg is once again stepping up to the plate with two killer tracks showcasing his own unique take on house that will be sure to keep dance floors pulsing and hands in the air through summer, winter and beyond.

with >pulse vs flex< still in our head (and legs), lil silva delivers again: >power< and >different< are here to keep you movin!

get ready! bulgarian youngster mitaka will lead you through a landscape of pushing minimal techno with maximum danceability. a, mitaka_fear , it is part of the nature of mankind to be afraid, especially when something unexpected is about to arrive. strict structures, harsh basslines yet a still gentle groove make this track so special. a variation of flavoures you might have tasted before. sweet and sour, like a piece of juicy lime, it fills you with desire and dense but enjoyable fear. b, mitaka_look back , imagine the climax of an ancient black and white horror movie. if that feeling could turn into a techno track, it would be look back : full of tension, full of beauty, full of excitement and totally intense.

welcome to the world of mysterious organist & producer dan electro. dan electro is a charming guy who lives very far away from the sytem of babylon. his music is out of time... it carries the reminiscence of a time when people played music simply for the love of it... his touch is magnetic, mystical and inspired. dan electro musics really got soul. but the man has a complex background... for a long time, he played bass for the slow slushy boys, a band that still performs today one of the best rooted rythm & blues around the world. dan electro finds a great part of his inspiration within the universe of geniuses like louis jordan, eddie kirk, the five royales and the barefoot gospel divas sister rosetta tharpe or winona carr... and he is still involved in music that talks to both your ass and your soul... with a preference for the first !
the lucky discovery of farley jackmaster funks >fix me< revealed dan electro the connections between black music at its core roots and contemporary house music. shortly after, he started producing some amazing tunes that felt like love affairs between old church organs and mad computers... sung by ageless preachers & divas. his music has been played by djs such as gilles peterson, joey negro, sumo, recloose, dj morpheus, spiritual south, nick v, michael rutten, rainer truby, nik weston, unabombers, erik rug, philarmonix, patchworks, stevie sole... radios as bbc 1, frequence jazz, xfm scotland, radio fg, compost radioshow... enjoy !

smith & mudd follow their second album, le suivant with something that goes a bit darker. side a is a chuggy affair where the beats drive a bit harder than their usual tracks but the lushness and the bass groove are still there. a beautiful electric violin solo takes the second half to a different place. side b is a deep bass journey that sounds like jean luc ponty and terry callier combined with a but of led zep. fantastic stuff. check

support from: adam beyer, len faki, josh wink, anja schneider, dj hell, speedy j., karotte, monika kruse, troy pierce, stephan bodzin, gregor tresher, oliver huntemann, sian, ambivalent, mauro picotto, nic fanciulli, martin landsky, marc romboy, joel mull, gel abril, pig& dan, oliver klein, perc, edit select, pascal feos sebrok strikes back on his own label paso music. his huge triumph, the ex ep (on dubfires sci+tec label) is still burning up dance floors across the club world. vision (released on david squillaces minisketch imprint and licensed to the 10 years cocoon ibiza compilation) also continues to ride an equal wave of success. and here is the newest addition to this tune-plethora.... sebrok - referred to by clash magazine as the poster boy of berlin techno - has served up two blinding techno tracks for us to savour. and for dessert, mobilée s finest duo pan-pot have rustled up two delicious remixes, which provide a fitting follow-up to their sensational confronted ep.

restoration records highly awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up this hard times. captain power and the soldiers of the future will lead the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom. humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.
third side is the new operative group of restoration, formed by marieu, lucretio and by resident dj of panorama bar steffi (klakson/ostgut ton). >ready to dance< is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but minimalistic at the same time. very essential in its build-up, its bass line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. we are ready to dance, its time to jack!
analogue cops >chamber< is a strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. rushing percussions, piercy hi-hats, a breathless progression. an experiment which turns into a solid club tack.
on side b, >still me< represents lucretios vocation to neoclassicism. the time disappears and a gospel organ full of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on planet earth. dramatic and sweet, its evocative and hopeful. lucretios track on rst006 appears on tama sumos >panorama bar – mix cd<.
>mauzy< is marieus deepest track on restoration. beat-down smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp cymbals, a praising voice. a track for a spiritual elevation, a track to dance until the last second. a track to listen to a million of times.

nice price deal !!! the latest new comers from barcelona are sw eden born pow erduo of marco gegenheimer and jens rosengren aka gegenheimer & jenius. both of them are active in the spanish house scene and have been creating a havoc w ith their record label collective ourvision w hich released the excellent archimboldo from fellow sw ede axel boman. the tracks they offered to moodmusic have a simple message of floor dominance w ith musical values and they?ve proven to w ork fairly w ell on recent moodmusic nights at panorama bar and sonar. starting w ith basic shape, a tech-housey, almost early techno feel takes over w ith phasing keys and dry drumprogramming w ith a big break w ith lends a few notes from detroit city. cadaquÚs has a more house feel to it, still keeps the groove as main point w ith stabbing keys and a beautiful theme taking you on a trip to almost mr fingers territory. the closing track ips has been a sureshot favourite at the moodmusic hq since w e got it, a classic deep house track of pure quality w hich show s the musical roots of these talented producers. watch out

even in these cold days danny howells keeps the summer vibe alive - for remix duties dig deeper hired german wunderkind johannes heil who is still causing a massive stir with his last release on shit happens.

it s good to see there are some folk still out there making proper electro. fans of classic drexciya will love the uhu tracks, if you have heard his earlier releases on gigolo then you will know just how good this guy us.
on the flip is juan pablo whose cinematic style of electro sounds like john carpenter mixed with early viewlexx and nature releases. this gets a big thumbs up from us so don t sleep on it.
