right on the heels of our previous bass/electro smasher, we hit you with the most anticipated house/disco record of recent times. helsinki 78-82 is a project by top billin team members flipper & koobra, whove always been active and always been down to bring something new to the label. while flipper is part of the top billin dj team and has always been the most high-flying of us, so no wonder the the new 12inch is some musical bliss thatll leave you feeling that good good. this is what we call big city house music, when youre cruising the streets at night with the top down - no words needed. in a manner michael mann would be proud of. so lifelike is a sort of remake of lifelikes great so electric (under permission), although this time it comes with vocals from our great helsinki new wave partners villa nah. if you are in need of a new end-nighter, this is it. cruising is a tune full of that pumping big city feel with driving drums and great synth work that will get them ladies on the floor and will fit into those funky house / modern disco sets. we even have a video for it, but its a different kind of cruising than you think (no al pacino)…

nice price deal !!! back from the dark streets of manhattans west side scndl comes creeping back into the picture. reminiscent and inspired by old chicago house from the likes of master c&j, need to know asks you, what gets you in. this time around theres a devastating set of mixes from across the atlantic. the uks lee mortimer takes the main riffs and raves it up with his turbulent basslines while markus lange & sterofunk keep it on the deeper side of dark electro. fukkk offf wraps up the package with a simple yet effective edit that fattens things up on the bottom while keeping it glued to the floor. what gets you in?

its been a hot minute since we dropped an official street bass release, but the wait has definitely been worth it. this ep is a preview of the heat that will be the >street bass anthems volume 4< mixtape, hitting on cd and digital this fall.

the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.

sven tasnadi is a producer who, with every release, audibly and gracefully takes his style down the many different avenues of house and techno cityà his latest, brave work for poker flat then could perhaps be described as a midnight drive down main street, tempted by and lingering at some of the darker side streets, yet journeying on regardlessà.! its a fantastic ride from tasnadi, that sees two versions of the title cut plus a perfect b side track included for good measure. >habanero< is a tough, tracky concoction of thick bass led percussion, warbling, building sci-fi synths and classy hi-end hats. the unmistakable groove begins low and simply builds upwards, creating a 10 minute cabride through ultra-modern tech house, cuba style! we wont spoil the fun with the tingling breakdowns key momentà but theres also a (without trumpet) version on the b1à.! carrying on the chunky, dramatic vibes, >piri piri< dubs things out as a blissful and unique synth line carries this beautiful journey track along its honest and respectful path. a wonderfully resolute deeper moment from tasnadi, the phasing vocal stutters and pads play together with the central in delightful harmony, reminding us of the producers ear for touching and timeless arrangements

nice price deal !!! essential & deep album by the man monoder aka jussi pekka! timeless beauty ! monoder. born in the cold north among industrial warehouses, people wearing only gray and random rabbits crossing the streets. his home town has two-lane streets which were made for the mass movement that never happened. physically close to civilization but mentally light years away. with the economic regression hitting hard, the town is filled with unemployed and old people wandering the streets and trying to find out what went wrong. like zombies of a mental desert. monoder. though the name sounds familiar, he has nothing to do with italodisco or electropop. the music, as the name, is filled with cold, stripped down and hypnotic atmospheres. taking you on a trip filled with hunger, cold breeze, forests and frozen tundra. the studio is on the roof-level of abandoned rubber factory, where disillusioned entrepreneurs try to get their daily bread doing what ever. moist pushing from the sealing and walls. water dripping during the mixdown. someone pulling cargo in the hallway.

dickie is no longer prepared to stand idly by watching the current team failing to live up to the high standard set by the great den haag team of 75, how he longs for the anthem that is fc den haag to be on every city radio station celebrating the feats of the current team. sadly though todayÆs team does not live up to dickieÆs expectations, so much so in fact that dickie brings us the anthem to try and induce self belief in the team, æfc den haag, we are the bestÆ, so upset is dickie that heÆs considering coming out of retirement and offering his services to the team. following the anthemic opener, morwyck blues resonates with the sadness that dickie feels on matters close to his heart, while the hague jam is the perfect track for driving from den haag to scheveningen (or anywhere) at 3am. full of his trade mark 808 beats, vocoded vocals and searing melodies, dickie has produced tracks suitable to be played loudly on the cassette player of every bmw as it cruises around the city streets at night, searching for young souls to be evangelised to the ways of the 808 beat.

monster electro tunes from a new artist straight from the cold streets of moscow. polymorphic came into the spotlight late last year with his devastating remix of proxy s >raven< on turbo.

time to look busy again, as function aka dave sumner comes rampaging through the streets of downtown berlin, kicking aside lesser producers and mauling all who stand in his way. not that you would know it from the supremely controlled affair that is his edit of >variance<. moody in the extreme, this edit sees beautiful interplay between delays and reverbs but without the track sinking into the predictable mire of dub techno. space is indeed the place..

another hard techno anthem in the p-series is about to hit the streets !!

ray valioso (aka swiss producer agnès) returns to real soon with the 4-track particles e.p. on the title track particles, ray uses a moog-like synth part and a treated rhodes piano to weave a hypnotic melody that drifts in and out of focus over a clatter of loose, live percussion and distorted voices. on tocar te, basic house maniobras and groove memories, ray is in less experimental territory and turns in three quality pieces of warm, percussive, luxurious deep house. this is ray valiosos second full release, following up on his well-received einladung e.p. (real soon, 2006) - featuring the excellent >get the strings?< - and his recent appearance on the deep vibes recordings compilation >in the streets<.

million dan is the man of the moment. with his killer album on the streets he is quite rightly regarded as the top uk mc right now. this little 7 inch is not as cheeky as it sounds. sam webster (aka sloth from headcount records) was working on some admin with the million dappa records team and when he heard the scream out original track he was really into it, but felt it could do with a re-rub that brought the energy out of million dans vocal delivery.

the first track on the single, heart of dem, is an ode to the youth and the struggle they face growing up today amongst the chaos on our streets. chemos production and the brothers melodic chorus make it an upbeat track despite the serious nature of the lyrics. bollox sees brotherman oozing bravado over a bouncy reggae groove with a deep dub bassline courtesy of hot new producer tea jay. the tracks are taken from brothermans first full length project, which will take the form of a double ep, the dark and the light.
