edit king leo zero returns with something very special to kick off a new run of no frills dancefloor bombs that have been tried and tested over the summer on a packed worldwide dj schedule from stockholm to tokyo and beyond. first up is an intensive slice and dice exercise on probably the best track from definitely the best band in the world: the clash. leo takes their most disco friendly outing >the maginificent dance< famously spun by mr levan at the garage - and with the more dubby rare levan version he homes in on looped 1 bar sections, skating along to create a new arrangement - added to the brew are bootleg recordings form the clashes infamous live show at nycs bonds ballroom, and even some baseline demos digitally siphoned from people practicing guitar along to the clash on youtube!….. we are left with is an epic labour of love edit that has already found its way into the a-listers record boxes - from derrick carter to laurent garnier who are all spinning this solid as a rock dub disco bomb. on the flip we have a classy house re-work of al hudson & partners >music< which sticks a chi-town kick and snare up its rear end along with some serious sub bass, and in the middle things get all wobbly with some trademark leo zero space echo rides and before we are quickly warped back-in and onto the floor… big with a load of top jocks too including severino of horse meat disco fame.

andreas schulz, (which is andycaps given name), has never been afraid to try new paths, which is highly noticeable in his music. with passionate love for electronic music, he creates an exciting and creative mix of everything from house to techno, and he has released multiple remixes featuring different styles and artists such as steve angello, boeoes kaelstigen, turboweekend, new moscow and others. in 2009, andreas moved to stockholm, sweden, in a quest to focus entirely on his music. this relocation has so far generated a resident dj position at lilla hotellbaren in the form of a weekly house club, called musikbiblioteket (the music library), and a part in the creation of a new music project called caviar. in his latest release for onepush recordings he is moving from electronica to deep house with an ease that you find only in studio veterans >natura< is an electronica masterpiece flirting with deep and progressive grooves with much style and authority.. a must have for all those who want to put some emotion and some colour to their summer sets. complimented with a massive remix from italian house masterminds alexander fog and alberto drago for the vinyl version of this ep. >happy tears< takes you to a journey into the deep with melodies that stick and moving beach house grooves. >agua< takes the rhythm up a notch in a bleepy, techie and appealing way. as does >voyage< taking a more progressive approach by building up on a massive groove and letting the driving baseline, the synth bass and the synthesised pads take care of the rest. a complete pack from an artist you should keep an eye on…

already played by sven väth, seth troxler. joris voorn, tiefschwarz, reboot... the london resident ross evana already excelled as dj at pacha nyc, at ministry of sound london or in the we love space series in ibiza. his track >thrilla in manila< first takes its time to build up before it sets a tremendously powerful exclamation mark on the dancefloor with its tropical-hypnotic percussions. with its second track, the ninth edition of cocoons 10 inch -series leads us to the land of the midnight sun. the two stockholm-born cousins alex caytas and aleks patz have started their musical collaboration only in 2007 but can already look back on a hand full of very good produced releases for the stuttgart-based label parquet recordings and the italian label caremella, as well as on remixes for martin dawson/king roc and voltique. >blue sea< shows the duos affinity to the energetic deep house techno of the nineties: with its organ sound, blues vocals and a highly infectous bass line, this track could almost pass as a modern and uncluttered version of st. germain, being predestined for warm summer nights. this is how techno sounds in 2011.

i fight myself to sleep, my eyelids, heartbeats are lead weights of despair and sor-rows. the years disappeared within loneliness. to manage staying alive i keep my visions to myself. you were once my friend, a sinister. the sinister composition was written by par grindvik during 2009 and 2010. writing sinister was part of a healing process. the original sinister was never meant to be released - and it will probably never be. however, in 2010 par came up with the idea of handing out parts from the original, to a few of his friends, and to release different interpretations derived from these parts. the new interpretations would mark the beginning of a new label project cal¬led sinister. next to par’s own rework of the original, you will find the following interpretations. samuel l session (klap klap, music man, soma, be as one), s100 (stockholm ltd), gary beck (minus, soma, saved), staffan linzatti (stockholm ltd, searchlights), jesper dahlbäck (isl, drumcode, h-prod)

with its corroded, live recorded sound and relentless machinedrum, le coq is a trip to the shadowy, not to say drunk side of dance music. as an acid statement this track is right on the money without ever submitting to any ground rules of vintage acid. truly envelope-pushing electronic wizardry with a dark edge. stripped down to a bare minimum, the flip side hollywood goblin evokes the linear pulse of early body music, while the lead synthesizer adds a touch of cabaret voltairesque arpeggio magic. universal rejection was established in stockholm, sweden in 2011. the label is the collective effort of a closed circle of friends sharing the vision of a parallel universe trough raw, down to the core electronic dancemusic. every new release is a code. it represents a piece of what universal rejection is, and proves that the label will be in constant flux while at the same time always remaining true to itself.

following steffis debut long-player >yours & mine<, the story continues with three special remixes, each re-interpreting a key track, courtesy of staffan lindberg, lone and the analogue cops. swedish newcomer staffan lindberg, already promoter and dj on the malmö/stockholm scene, is a recent favourite of steffi for his tracky, fresh house sound. this hypnotic, rave- tinged mix of >yours< weaves an intricate tale for the dancefloor - nothing is rushed as the classic elements have so much room to shine in his fluid arrangement. recent r&s signing lone is becoming well known for his warbling strings, wandering melodies and glissening old school flavours. this remix is no exception and sees him work the chicago-vibed >arms< into a magical cosmic future-acid trip. berlin based duo the analogue cops aka marieu and lucretio have brought the house down many a time with their stomping live shows in the capitals clubs and warehouses. their pumping remix of >you own my mind< is tight, middly and uncompromising - a perfect example of the rough, tripped-out house vibe they live and breathe.

les freres smith - the smiths brothers - is a paris based 14 piece collective specialized in afrobeat and ethio flavoured grooves. these music smugglers are touring the french and european scenes for more than 10 years, always with the same blasting energy. well known for its explosive live interventions, the band is now releasing its first real album after various collaborations with artists such as tony allen, the souljazz orchestra, kutiman, franck biyong, or kokolo, among others. be a smith, be a smuggler, enjoy it now!

so the story goes: a few years ago i played a cool underground party in stockholm with my good friend and crazy record collector mark seven. early on that night mark played me this beautiful and melancholic piece of music. mark happily handed me his spare copy and my record collection for a second felt a little more complete… originally released as a b side track to als slipshod ep on out of the loop the track continued to mesmerize whenever i played it and the fact that so many people loved it and equally as many didnt know the record i though a re release could be a great idea. its inclusion on gerd jansons recent sonar kollektiv compilation and the fact that its been played by legendary dj harvey ( o bearded one as hes known to by the initiated) has obviously helped to spread its fame to. the previously issued part 1 with the original and bogdan irkük remixes has gone down a storm with all the cool movers and shakers... oh yeah baby. now its time for the last chapter with equally mindboggling gatto fritto remix, mark sevens version and my own just plain silly rework. toodle oooo, thomas(oslo, 7th of august 2009)

in spring of 2006, jackpot began to fester in a stockholm apartment. without fresh air or natural light, the group developed its uniquely mutant strain of italo disco mixed with early 80s body music aided only by the sickly blue rays of late night tv. while the jackhammer rhythms of their music were proliferating in stockholm, jackpot dove into the deepest recesses of the electronic dance music psyche for the most primal of all rhythmic impulses - their own unmistakable sound - the sound of western culture falling apart in a blaze of shudders and hiccups. as late night sci fi reruns colored the room, jackpot also picked and chose amongst the psychotic debris of previous eras - the movies of kenneth anger, the music of suicide, velvet underground and bruce haack, the words of william s burroughs. and then they added the junkiest element of all - themselves. after two critically acclaimed records, the third chapter of the jackpot saga is about to be told. its called greased lightning (also features remix work from such talents as in flagranti and rory phillips). you hear that beat? thats them knocking on your door.

its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

is there more to life than house music? for the swedish dj/producer mikael nordgren: probably not. since 2004, he has been steadily churning out some of the best future house tunes from his studio located in stockholm. his productions have been released under many aliases including dmalicious, 12th floor and for get physical under the mighty moniker of tiger stripes. the blacker the music, the sweater the sound. a potential anecdote that fittingly could have inspired mikael when he composed the warm and supple portion of detroit fueled funk that is, blackroom entertainment. yet another presentation of his programming prowess and ability to mold and mend melodies into a sophisticated groove. especially utilizing his signature catchy drums to get the vibe going, then introducing a melodic synth stab before the track takes you away with complex variations of rhythmic lead sounds. abacus may remind listeners of his stellar mad at me ep released last fall on get physical - albeit reformed with a more analog approach. springing tones get the groove rolling before it is taken over by a cabal of sci-fi sounds, at which point a thick, modulated analog bass sound ups the overall energy. the lack of audio imagery is little if none, as the sounds invoke so many moods, feelings and sensations that only a seasoned dj and knowledgeable producer could fabricate such a convincing theme. blackroom entertainment ep again showcases mikaels ability as a formidable contributor to house music
