the year starts with the 4th instalment of the rising label from germany.>little less more< is the meeting of two musical generations. this fiery track fuses mid-nineties tech electro with up-to-date minimalism. the strange sound effects and minimalistic energy of >jenna s melody in love< create a 21st century techno-journey. daniel solar s and marc poppcke s remix is the absolute contrast. it s deep tech-house grooves like a gentle film score for sunset. watch out for this upcomming artists..

every friday hugg & pepp sits down to have their mid day break after having a sturdy lunch at the partymakers. pepp is usually not late to suggest that something sweet should be consumed during this time in order to get inspiration and joy. hugg, who is also known for his sense of culinary experiences sometimes surprises pepp with exciting creations from all corners of the world. this particular friday, the team has choosen the mormors hosta, a typical swedish bread in wich a special yellow fudge, the hosta, can be found in the middle of this delicious bakery dedicated to our beloved grandmother. pepp, who is specially found of the hosta, also suggested that the two would make a tribute to grandfather so they wrapped the mormorshosta in a farfarskofta into a roll, then split it in half and feasted on this magnificent little piece in a cheerful mood. after this, filled up and satisfied they returned to their mystery machine and started to feed it with this new recepie. at first the machine returned some strange messages but after correcting the proportions between the amount of hosta and bread the machine successfully coughed up a banging bassline.

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we re gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it... second release up is a taste of what s to come later in 2008 when we drop windsurfs debut album. these 4 tracks where initially planned for release on sentrall but where for some strange reason scrapped and made available as mp3 only. too sad as this is some of the finest heady downbeat electronic music to appear in the current baleric,cosmic blah blah blah call it what you want scene. windsurf consists of 1 part sorcerer and 1 part hatchback, both has records out on tirk and thisisnotanexit respectively and they ve also managed to deliever killer reworks of lcd soundsystem and shawn lee s ping pong orchestra(to be unleashed early 2008). crafting their own musical universeout of layers and layers of guitars and synths, never going for the obvious... well, im not gonna spend more time trying to convince you, check it out at wordandsound.de(paste in appropriate link here f.ex....)

played by karotte , reynold... style of eye has delivered one of the most creative dirtybird releases to date. this is a totally fresh sound coming straight out of stockholm, sweden. >the big kazoo< is an epic tech-funk masterpiece that achieves ultimate ass shaking glory while also innovating at the same time. yes, in the past dirtybird has brought you animals, fart noises, bass blips, and strange breakdowns and now a kazoo??? well, all we have to say is that the big kazoo goes a step beyond any gimmicks and brings you the real shit. the beat is solid driving funk just how we like it and the track is destined to be a dirtybird classic. the b-side >hide< aint no slouch either. it mixes in really well with anything you got with congos or any kind of latin shuffle. but hide also has a really hot techno element that makes it very versatile. the beat is rock solid with a strong syncopated pattern and cool synth dropouts that will even bring the socialites and wallflowers to life. check it

dejan milicevics name is spreading fast with releases on patterns, adult, orion muzik and recon warriors to name a few. this record really has 2 different sides. on the a-side you ll find a strange piece of music! its hard and fat, techno with an electro-house-baseline to die for! then the break just tears every thing apart. massive! the flip is a different story, minimal and fat

from the four corners of the globe (sort of) comes a collection of some of the hottest club bangers 130bpm has ever seen. first up is dangerous in the 80s from kid who (brixton) who managers to unite the strange pairing of calvin harris and busta rhymes to make an old school electro tinged post classic combination. t wrecks (toronto) is next out the box with stabs, cut ups and the think break that turns timbalands tune into a baltimore anthem. estaw (amsterdam) takes the hip hop anthem of all hip hop anthems, breaks it down, builds it up, bobs, weaves, throws a right hook, throws some ds on it and throws the dance into a frenzy. last but not least, jim sharp (london / toronto) re animates talib kwelis ode to the fairer sex into a fidgety, bumpy, electro slab of sound that makes feminine undergarments moist.

support by adam beyer, karotte and sven vath!! intacto comes with >intacto on stage<, a serie of intacto artists on one record. part 1 is done by polder and dave ellesmere.dave ellesmere, known from german true electronic dance imprint kanzleramt, where he released two albums. after daves first release on intacto >standing in line< ellesmere is back with a absolute monster track >today, tomorrow and yesterday<. polder aka lauhaus & david labeij, two absolute talented producers from amsterdam whos previous releases >strange ways< and >circulo polar< have been played out by the likes of richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, sven vath, karotte and many more. polder yet with a ultra funky groover >dirty ol bird<

a new label , a new day , a new direction. controversial and exciting , this label is going to be one to watch for anyone who has their brain switched on and who can make up their own minds about music. it is not going to play int o the hands of the minimal techno explosion but it will share the space and the dance floor with most styles of techno and provide your audience with some memorable moments in their lives. this is what we believe music should now be aiming to achieve. you are welcome to tell us if you think we are doing that or not. first track rox the box is almost daft punkesque in rhythm , but the groove is more techno styled with some serious heavy gating in the break giving it a glitchey crackly sound. strange dayze is a more mellow minimal techno experiment , a very cool club sound with some unusual melodies enjoy

a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

the long awaited new unit 4 release (on a highly limited amontillado pressing of 300 copies with hand printed sleeves). deep dark powerfull track with a unusual combination of a dusseldorfer (kraftwerk-ian) electronica loop and a massive techno-ish bassline and funny enough without any hi-hats which gives the track a strange tension. b-side is a stripped down version with a long intro and outro. the very power full bass and a catchy hook line (reminiscent of their body dub) makes this a monster track... check!

big follow up !! the still unknown bowling centre downtown kreuzberg gave the name for this ep - there incognito appearing electronic music lovers of all kind meet occasionally wednesdays for strange tasting kaiserpower beer to strike and spare and celebrate their incomprehensibly bad ball feeling – techno bowling at it’s best. wednesday is bouncy fun minimal with fresh surprises throughout the track - very much what we have come to love about tony rohr tracks. kaiserpower is a trip back to the powerful, trippy, voodoo side of things for mr. rohr, which we haven t seen in a while… drop it like it’s hot

thom yorke is the pen, voice and soul of the rock group radiohead he has just released a solo album the eraser and that is where this story begins. abandoning his guitar get-along gang for the cold warmth of his computer and underhyping an album that should be plastering the walls and buses of your local city, the anxiety ridden and morose yorke cuts to the core of the dark state of humanity, unapologetically commenting on the zombies that were once humans. on this extremely limited 12,the album title track the eraser( already big with timmy regisford ) gets remixed in a distorted detroit style by slow to speak, following up on the recent bjork, u2 & arc gospel choir reworkings. on the flip is various acapellas of thom speaking on the current state of society and commerce and the radiohead song climbing up the walls, which in some strange dysfunctional way is married lyrically to the eraser. comes in a hand made silk screened jacket

after his dessous debut >bona fide< in spring 2006 st. sebastian aka gamal sebastian kaba returns with a new two-tracker. on >genetics< the young talent from manchester perfectly manages to produce stripped down and dark techhouse tunes. both tracks spread a rather dark atmosphere with their vocal samples and an elaborate choice of sounds set in the right spots, but still manage to make the hips shake. the title track >genetics< convinces with a sparse but very effective build up with synthie stabs and a wafting bassline. just as well and cleverly arranged is >backwardsman< on the flipside. the mumbled vocal sample and some spooky laughter hide in the dark behind a punchy kick, a deep deep bassline and some strange chords which make this the perfect soundtrack for your techy ghost train

archipels brand new sublabel brings you its second weirded out slab of wax with uli kunkels singing with rod. uli kunkel,however,is not one single artist. it is comprised of lee curtiss, maayan nidam (miss fitz) and shaun reeves.the record starts off with leethophobia which is an hypnotic breaks like piece of dark insanity laced drughouse very much inspired by the perlonian sounds which have been coming from germany as of late.drugpigs is fat, wobbly, and just as hypnotising as leethophobia and commands that the freaks come out to dance from the shadows of strange early morning corridoors.the flip takes a more direct approach and is fiercely lead by arrival which is an hypnotic take on dancefloor drive influenced tracks and is laced with clever edits and lysergic percussion.sing like rod is a totally weirded out and just as lysergic early morning rhythmic smoothy. kalimari is set to release quality weirdness and here it stands tall from the rest.

cool electronic spain techhouse

real life testing reveals it all, therefore we have nothing to add to serafin s comment about the a side: >i have been playing this in virtually every set for the past couple of weeks, and the reaction of the crowds is simply amazing. this performs extremely well in a club setting, it sounds perfect (and loud!) on every system and people are responding to it instantly. i often extend this with the loop machine to well over 10 minutes, with an absolutely devastating effect. this is a bomb, trust me on this one!< on the flip switzerland s premier dirt funker agnès delivers one of his nasty treatments. the sthlm audio head pulls all the stops on this one: bass action from below underground, weird noises and nicely shuffled hihats compose a charming and warm piece of music, carrying a strange and deep atmosphere!
