as snapshots catalogue grows, so too does the quality. the modest label hits us with five new tracks by johannes volk with a heavy detroit minimal feel, instantly reminding us of vintage robert hood productions built of only the bare essential elements required to move ones body. johannes is currently pounding the floors across europe with his live sets and has released on labels such as jeff mills 6277 imprint (an axis sub label) & gerds life world records.

slam bring us the third chapter in their devestating paragraph series, following up their dancefloor destroyer, hot knives that was played by the biggest djs around and dubbed as one of carl craig s favourites of the last few months. the label s previous releases have already had big support from the rest of the techno fraternity, including legends richie hawtin, adam beyer, dubfire, anja schneider, len faki and francois kevorkian.
paragraph number 3 delivers some deep, bass-heavy electronic funk on the a-side, with one note samba . grooving from the off-set, the percussive elements of the track wind around a solid and heavy sub bass, introducing dubbed-out horns reminiscent of slam s freelance science days. hypnotic and tripped out, slam return to their house roots.
on the aa room 2 , dedicated to one of the world s best clubs, fabric, where slam hold a residency, keeps with the stripped-down, rhythmic and gritty sound of paragraph. whilst constantly fluctuating echoes and delays control the rhythm of the track, a swirling, yet straight to the point synth creates some frenzied and panic-inducing builds throughout, leading to a wholesome and satisfying ride cymbal. room 2 is a killer, peak-time track that will be sure to induce some serious convulsions on dance-floor.

dave huismans aka 2562 with his a made up sound project. archive contains four raw house tracks from the vaults with their roots in detroit and chicago house. ‘bounce’ and ‘disconnect’ combine the best of two worlds: the more traditional sample based house grooves and the spacious sounds and wrenching sub bass that have become his trademark. the same goes for the other two tracks... ‘wire’ is a phat acid track with a great drive. a strange atmosphere and a unique combination of classic structures with new and old sounds. this track will make sure that the sweat is dripping off those basement walls! ‘on&on’ has that catchy drunken beat slightly reminding of some theo parrish productions... finished with futuristic technoid synth stabs and pulsating acid-ish bass sounds that make this a great abstract & stripped-down house work out! killer!

dfa complete the set of black meteoric star tracks onto vinyl with >dreamcatcher/dawn< on the third and final 12 from the album. gavin russom has created a unique tribute to the early days of synth and drum machine experimentation with this project, inhabiting the spirits of everyone from giorgio moroder to ron hardy with hypnotically brilliant effects. >dreamcatcher< is another undiluted jam at 120bpm, sounding like a lo-fi moroder tripout with gorgeous arpeggiations swirling in a pool of shallow resonant tape hiss. >dawn< on the flip is the slowest track on the album, a sub 100bpm psyched electro-soul groove with cracking handclaps and an uncompromisingly lo-fi attitude. dead cool.

nowar has the privilege to introduce this new producer duo from the netherlands, duijn & douglas, composed of esther duijn and steady douglas. their very first outing on the wax comes with a solid deep house monster, pounding steady beats, hip shaking chords and sexy sweet percussion. cat concrete will have you dancing and sweating in no time. close your eyes and lose yourself in the infectious rhythm of this brilliant track. its house music in its purest form. on the flipside you can find baazs remix which takes the track in a more stompy direction. slow jacking beats, a gripping sub bass with a deep old skool touch. its a deep but slow chicago stomper for both warming up the early birds and easing out the afterhour creatures. this record is solid, deep, raw and comes in a very nice artwork sleeve!

its been 5 yrs since the last record was released on tetrode music. (the deep theory ep). the wait is over and the duo of damon lamar and specter have returned. this ep is picking up right where they have left off. deeply rooted in the underwater sound that have made the releases on tetrode must haves by heads around the world. side a is produced by specter and he drops his signature beatdown sound. >bazerko< is a stripped down minimal heater that builds up with 707 drums, sub bass and a hammond organ riff that really bring this track together. >nighthawk< is a beautiful laid out sunrise track. smooth drums, warm pads, and bubbly appregiated synths. inspiration drawn from larry heard and the deep techno sound of the 90Æs. side b is produced by damon lamar. >large crowd< is this beating track pulled and resurrected from the vault. heavy percussion loop, dirty bass, deep chords and a haunting vocal that must be heard to understand the meaning. >put it on ice< is a laid back downtempo track that shows the versatility of damon lamar. lush strings, dubby bass and melodic keys make it a track that just grooves and soothes the ear. tetrode music has returned with this solid offering and one thing for sure is the sound hasnÆt changed ... just more refined.

huuuge percussive electrohouse club tune!!!

show-b is making a triumphal procession through the heaven of arrangements and the musically modernistic housemusic. complex, but fleet footed, his rhythmic structures produce a soulful symbiosis with the music of long gone times of dance music. traditional elements, such as flutes or rhodes unite with sub basses, crisp kick drums and detriotesque bass lines, culminating in show-bs own definition of housemusic. shallowness, ordinarity and a simple sensation of contentment are not part of this definition.

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

dave dk needs no introduction, since his debut moodmusic album “lights and colours” he s been busy travelling the world preaching his trademark electronic deep house sound and remixing florian kruse, tigerskin and seva k for labels baalsaal, global underground and dirt crew among other things. for the new moodmusic release dave packs 2 tracks from the album in new edits as well some major remix biz from ada (areal, irr) and russ gabriel (mobilee, ferox) remixing cinema paraiso was ada s choice, the epic floating, almost balearic feel to it fitted perfectly the fine hand of ada and her perfect production values. starting with a rough 303 bassline, building an intense but deep affair buidling into a hypnotic frenzy of old school acid and modern electronics ! from the feedback from the few selected djs who got their hands on this gem, ada s remix is allready in groove mag top-10 ! the b-side coimbra, a rocking house belter with neat sample editing and the dave dk bassline juggling between the low end and the ultra low sub. russ keeps much of the original intact, deepening the groove with his funk injected beats and some lush detroit influenced chord action like we know and love from him. as a bonus we include the original mix for those vinyl lovers out there !

time to express is pleased to present the first results of the collaboration between italian producer donato dozzy and colognes finest, cio d or. both artists have recorded seperately for labels such as wagon repair, railyard, aquaplano, motoguzzi, broque and treibstoff. a great three track ep with dirty minimalized techno killers that must be played out loud for full effect! somehow reminiscent to the good old days from minimal unit moebius and plastikman tracks.... when minimal techno wasnt about pleasing the crowd (which it did after all). 3 tracks with deep sub bass driven grooves and distant melodies that move in spirals in and out of the mix with a moving and twisting beat. it s sour and dirty, with a touch of that particular blend of mesmerising techno both producers are known for. the peter van hoessen mix is more upfront and in your face. mental introvert techno tracks that will take the party to another level! tip!

for the 8th outing tech itch has 2 big dramatic tracks brought to the table, bi polar has huge beats and killer boomerang basslines, crimson tears has a slighty oriental theme throughout the intro then a big dark soundscape takes control all this paired with low freq sub bass make this one for the big sound systems.

big with: cassy, bo irion, dan curtain, jorge savoretti, electric indigo, mateo murphy, noah pred, pheek, patrick bateman, tomboy, the youngsters, ion ludwig,.. the result is a co-production between catenaccios head-honcho benjamin fehr and falko brocksieper (sub static, tuningspork, leena). inspired to create a laid-back environment between improvisation and restriction, the two are exploring ways to join their different views on a shared passion for deep, dark, organic and abstract techno. the result is >niagara< and >give up< - the first two pieces from this ongoing production cycle. both tracks are developing a long vibrant flow of eclectic structures and agile sequencing of field recordings and analog sound aesthetics

legendary sub club resident harri, teams up with fellow glaswegians and justifiably hyped producers the revenge to cook up this stripped back and relentless raw house joint. already a massive cut for a select few djs serviced well upfront, this track has cropped up on more than a few most wanted lists. its thundering main hook driven along with fierce percussion and a simmering tension that seems set to boil over never fails. the dub mix swaps the ferocious claps for a haunting bell tone, paving the way for a tripped out excursion 20.000 leagues under. vera completes the 12inch with her hypnotising tribal groove punctuated with rising synths that offers a lighter, brighter take on the original.

big with richie hawtin, tiefschwarz, loco dice, dubfire, jeff k ... new sub-division lessizmore limited is the occasion for us to produce new artists and to release their work in a beautiful colored 10 inch, 500 copy limited pressing for audiophiles. the first release is focused on two new hopes of 2009: jin choi and dop. jin choi has released many impressive eps on ware, archipel and roman photo. his tracks are subtle, full of details, he looks for instruments and singings you would never expect in a usual dance tune. carnivores is a long and melancholic trip which cannot let you unmoved. french trio dop does a complete rework of the track, adding their own voices, some punchy percussions and a pinch of sex appeal. they keep the original vocals and instruments but use it in such a different way that makes it look funnier.

autonation s sit on the bass was released on esteemed label r&s , 18 years ago in 1991.. (shit! was it really 18 years ago??)

our third release is introducing to you more intensely the musical personality of dairmount, founder & a&r of our the label. longtime independent music activist born in belgium (formerly known as philarmonix), dairmount is a natural born “freestyler” who embraced anything soulful & groovy since the late 80‘s, playing & travelling the world for 15 years. hamburg is the city where he settled down in the last 6 years and 2009 marks the accomplishment of his personal dream to found room with a view, shelter of his musical fantasies. friendship & challenge are two values that defi ne phil pretty well so it is no surprise that musical collaborations & versatility tightly express his musical approach and personal ethic. after displaying bass-ment tale, an old school house tribute produced with his partner in crime marino berardi, on the fi rst episode of the perspectives serie, dairmount is presenting subakuatik blues on his fi rst ep. recorded in 2007 with his good friend ralf petter, an “old cat” of the hamburg music scene, this track managed to capture the essence of these great studio sessions : phil’s natural obsession to create hybrid club material & ralf’s amazing engineering skills matching perfectly to create this sub-aquatic dream that resulted in the track name. lost in the world of analogue synths of ralf’s studio, they created a 9 minutes odyssey crossing the lines between deep house, disco futurism & detroit infl uences topped by a surprising “ravy” breakdown. phil approached naturally two of his longtime favorite producers to give their own perspectives of the timeless feel of the original : russ gabriel, who phil has always admired for the depth of his output on ferox, planet e or his own soul on wax, has signed a beautiful version of the track. extremely subtle & hypnotic, this remix is a true blessing & a great pride. mood music’s honcho sasse, old friend of phil, retouched with lots of love & care the track that he went crazy for and even realised 2 vers

ricardo villalobos playlist!! the endless white of the far north. the opening melodies of adam marshalls >north at night< can be heard faintly over the whistling wind. a small black dot appears at the centre of the distant horizon. at first it appears to be still, but gradually we recognize movement. over the next few minutes the shape begins to grow until it has defined the image of a man walking towards us. as he approaches, the music grows clearer. like the warmth of the first sunlight >rose mountain< radiates its glow through the use of a flurry of rhodes electric piano chords. adams signature percussion permeates the dub and binds its elements into an infectious groove. >mfb flex< is the counter balance to the organic flow of the other cuts and molts the warmth into a techno roller designed for the long player mix. marshall said… >ive long been intrigued by that incredible tapestry of tundra and taiga which constitutes the arctic and sub arctic of our country. ive read about it, written about it and even pulled up my parka once and gone there, yet, like all but a very few canadians, ive had no real experience of the north. ive remained, of necessity, an outsider. and the north has remained for me a convenient place to dream about, spin tall tales about, and in the end, avoid<
