big with mihalis safras, piemont, afrilounge, phonique, someone else, anthony collins, stephan bodzin!! slim, sporty and very casual- thats the way in which current number 18 on acker records sneaks into listeners ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in europe. other than the name justin side implies, its even two dudes from denmark who conjure up this unusual voodoo. bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. beside the original mix, the groove of the a-side includes a minimal club mix by mister mollono.bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. on the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his summer mix. last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local mecklenburg version of a mighty voodoo magic.

ooooooh yeeeaaah!!! haasten is here! one of technos fastest rising stars brings his strongest ep to date with two huge tracks you will be hearing lot of this summer! egbert returns to gem… >haasten< (translates into hurrying) has been destroying crowds during egberts live sets around the globe for the past few months. a dark commanding bass line that skips over the beat is accompanied by a retro sounding orchestral jab to create what is looking to become one of this years biggest techno tracks! the b-side >yourself< has also proven to be a crowd pleaser and is paving the way for the future of percussion based techno. the punishing drums, deep basses, narrow mids and rattling hats kick ass throughout the track before taking a break for 30 seconds to introduce some melody and continue on mercilessly afterwards. a mean f*cking package!

first on decks.de!! phonothek is back with a smashing summer bomb release! incl. remixes from frank leicher & david august.

marius mevold aka mindflow is 25 and hails from trondheim in norway. his nsd debut was picked up early by 1xtras mistajam and when you hear it you?ll soon see why. mindflow has created an absolute monster of a dubstep track thats so catchy even your mum will be dancing her socks off to it: fact. switched has all the elements of a festival anthem, lush old-skool piano chords, soaring diva vocal cuts and huge sub bass wobbles that will shake any summer sound system. just when you think it cant get any better, the half time dubstep beat switches into rolling uk funky vibes. really and truly, this tune is a beast and has already had huge club and radio support from mistajam (6 weeks running on his 1xtra show!) as well as annie mac, kissy sell out, scratch perverts, oneman and caspa. of course a never say die release wouldnt be complete without killer remixes and this one is no exception. d&b men of the moment and remixers extraordinaire, dc breaks, have taken switched to new lofty heights with their super production skills. in line with the old skool vibe of the original, the crisp beats and breaks underpin an awesome sub driven roller that is sure to be on heavy rotation for the summer. dj support: anne savage, cut la roc, excision, far too loud, flux pavilion, freq nasty, futurebound, general midi, high rankin, jaguar skills, kid kenobi, pendulum, reset!, rico tubbs, riskotheque, starkey and more

now we are very happy to bring to you his latest creation for break new soil: the title track >streamvision< kicks off with a subtle melody, easy-going at first but then growing stronger and stronger to finally explode in the breakdown – we can already see this one setting dancefloors on fire from rome to tokyo! on the flipside ilario shows a new side of his production – with >origami< he sets free a chicago-inspired monster groove that certainly will tear the roofs off the clubs its played in to finally let the summer in!

reference (planet e / echospace / beretta) consists of the detroit-based artists luke hess & brian kage. in the first reference vs project we squeezed some of the party out of seth troxler and some of the percussion expertise from ryan crosson to create the still sought after tracks >the fade< and >the bumps<. in the second installment of our reference vs series we wanted to get a bit more soulful, & deep with the music, and highlight two of the worlds finest dub techno artists - stephen hitchell (cv313) and marko furstenburg (surphase). stephen hitchell aka cv313 is first a sound engineer. his experiments with synthesis create a warm, ethereal, and organic analog sound all his own. in the reference vs projects we seek to extract the natural strengths of the artist. when we received the files from stephen we knew we were packing heat! we structured our zone around the life-like chord structure that cv313 so effortlessly creates and gave it some more dance floor flavor. we believe the track titled >the wake< will fill dance-floors over the summer months on the beach as well as in the clubs. what can we say. markos shuffled dub stab style has been in demand since the artist started releasing on thinner back in 2002. mr. fürstenbergs deep and emotional music is an extension of his character. we were happy to receive what we expected from marko, super percussive, cavernous, and soulful soundscapes. again we referenced the package out with some drones, new analog rhythms, and eureka. the zone continues relentlessly in >the swell< to carry the dancer through the night into another summer day in the sun

big with: basic soul unit, ame, ingo sõnger, oliver hafenbauer, dixon, sevensol, dirk rumpf,roland appel,.. back from the initial mild pitch release >this feeling< last year, ribn deliver their overdue follow-up entitled >light black ep< - three tracks as ambivalent as the title suggests! the title track is a mesmerizing house/technohybrid of colourful darkness, reminiscent of classic early ribn releases: meandering synths and hypnotic sound fragments crawl around a stomping beat while the crunchy bass loop keeps moving things forward irresistably. first up on the flip side is >sin & figs<, a warm and pathetic summer gem that is destined to soundtrack any sunrise over the next couple of months. rich layer textures and sweet little melodies make this piece one of the most emotional moments of the mild pitch catalogue to date. closing the ep on b2 is >stonedrum<, a slow-motion house treat with oddly pitched vocals, a subtle groove and heavy low-end. its masked and fragile funkyness and crackling background noises complete a complex image that requires more attention than a 30-seconds preview clip to get a clue..

raw and soulful deephouse anthem with an outstanding mod.civil (ornaments) remix. around the brilliant voice of suzi q. smith, suedmilch builds up such a deep and flowing groove that you cant hide of it. feel the pure emotions of this track. brilliant work for the upcoming summer time and smooth open air celebrations. on the flipside the mysterious guys around mod.civil pitched down the vocal into a dark mood, which gives the original theme a whole different story - just a cosmic soul explosion - how true !

filth & splendour are cuasing a bit of a stir at the moment. with their >hot pick< release on cr2 & puerto banus ep, on berwick st, both released last month, kicking up a flurry of intrest in these guys.
next up from them is this techy little deep house number, a strong house vibe runs throughout, with cool melodic riffs and summer feel about it! on the remix is timo garcia - needing no introduction, you know what you are going to get from timo. a more sparse and techno influenced slice of heavenly house music.

after a short hiatus, misericord is back for 2010 with more off-kilter missives for back-room massive. first up is the welcome return of mr al usher. his >gnanfou< ep christened the label back in the summer of 2007 and was rapturously received / licensed all over the place. al has been quiet of late, busy being a dad and doing a proper job, but prins thomas put his out of the loop gem >lullaby for robert< out again in 2009 to much acclaim. this new release >hilversum< is very much its follow-up: al at his most unashamedly gorgeous, re-contextualising an old deutsche neue welle melody and weaving it into a characteristically intricate and beautiful piece of post-balearic loveliness. for the flip we commissioned a remix from one of europes most exciting new producers, barcelonas john talabot.

driven by many musical styles both, herbst & blecha spend hours sitting in their small, freezing basement studio, twiddling knobs, djing on weekends and drinking loads of sweet, cheap and sticky orange lemonade. now the work of these two talented producers is rewarded with their first common release. jove is a melodic tech-house piece containing one of those catchy bass lines that will still be sticking in your ear long after the track has finished. well fitting to summer the track ôshilpaö takes you on a smooth trip and will form the perfect transition from your club night experience to watching the sunrise afterwards. the zoo brazil rmx of ôjoveö is a crisp piece that shall evoke your best summer nights you have spent this season. each time the kick drum lets go of your body in a break, you will just get carried away, throw your hands in the air and then fall back into the beat and just smile!

chris is very happy that his long term friend adam beyer from sweden, who runs the drumcode and truesoul labels (as most of you may know), has contribute to the 10 year anniversary label compilation. chris said >he managed to give me an amazing track that i have already been playing up and down since probably the beginning of last summer<. you have to know that most of these tracks have been collected over a period of at least the last six months. this one from adam is called >antistius< not only is chris out for having international artists on this compilation but also his home base in frankfurt equally has some amazing artists to offer. this track on the b-side is by clr artist and mastering engineer brian sanhaji who has also recently released his album on the label. his contribution to 10 years of clr is pretty phat. this one is called >higgs< and chris had already been playing it, all over the place, with amazing responses.

a lot has happened to blm since his last solo ep back in 2008, fatherhood being the main factor for his absence. thankfully the nappy changing musical magician didnt stop tinkering with his synths in that time has come back with a string of forthcoming productions that mark a real step up in quality for him. so, first up blm releases on home soil on his own fof label. garage is back keeps things silky smooth – simplicity is the key here, the percussive elements building slowly before the evocative vocal of suz brings a hypnotic sexyness to the whole affair. step to this is the logical progression from his last fof release (believe in love) with its skippy beats and uplifting stabs being a sure winner for the coming summer. mulletover promoter / dj / all around sexual dynamo geddes provides a rather splendid dub remix of garage is back on the flip. cleverly using key elements of the original to keep the flava but dipping the tempo to give it more of a groove based feel. we think its a high watermark for the man.. check it

banging hardtechno remake of the 90s classic stereo murder. hard rolling beats and a monster break. at the b-side a live version recorded at miss djax live performance at u60311 frankfurt germany. just in time for the summer festivals and heavy supported by pet duo: >its a hit!<

another bit of fantastic space disco by slowenian producer ichisan. comes with a acid drenched monster of a remix by off key hat and a super deep take by walter jones of dfa and westbound fame. heavy package for the open air season. summer bummer!

who is maetrik and just how does he get his beats and bleeps to sound so good? we cant be the only ones asking this question as recently eric comes on a string of big hits for audiomatique and mothership. erics been banging out stormers of late, but with dumb-unit its different. here we do our typical du magic and present something a little bit slankier, a wee bit dirtier, and a tad more tripped out. something that dancers and freaks can equally get their head around, something that will blast through the sound systems straight through the summer! and so without further ado we suggest you dig in ... and get ready ...

without doubt 1 of the biggest tunes of wmc 2010 a cover of the donna summer classic from the mighty rhythm masters & mync!

we are proud to introduce 2 new talented guys from amsterdam: max & kalle aka specker music. 4 amazing tracks inspired by a crazy weekend stay in ibiza. it has a massive tribal remix by our matteo milleri. b2 track >allright< will be released as vinyl only.

this time martin woerner invited his long time companion and partner basti pieper (labelhead of herz ist trumpf rec and level 6 club resident) to let off steam on his imprint inclusion records. without hesitation, mr. pieper grabbed his friend atilla and the two guys from darmstadt/germany delivered a real tech-house killer track named - bob! after the big success of i love you (basti pieper feat. eddy pirax/hito001) in summer 2009, basti pieper shows us this time in cooperation with atilla once again how things really should be done!
on the b-side marches the reinterpretation of bob by martin woerner in the well known mannerand so this ass moving two tracker is completed.

claremont 56 goes back to its balearic roots with a 12 inch that fills you with wonderful summertime feelings. >mudd & pollard - vincent< is a lush rhodes driven groover with a bass that sounds like its been played bernard edwards of chic fame. on top of that is a multitude of analog synths that bathe this beauty in warmth & loveliness. mark e continues his rise to the king of all things midtempo with one of his best remixes to date. what a great way to kick off the summer...

italojohnson greets the dance floor with his first vinyl release embodying three functional tracks appropriate for any party mood.
the a-sides systematic drumming maliciously rumbles through the prime time floor as the mellow waves begin to take form and surge into a hysterical tsunami of beats. an emotional sunrise paves the tracks finale.
a similar functional sound continues on b1 and soon after, exposes itself as a percussive chicago house track as the 707, 727 and abyssal bassline protest against loungy house.
the dubbier interpretation of the italojohnson concept can be found in the final track on b2. the 808-thunderstorms and melancholic pads have lived through more than one summer, yet have only triumphed through charm and optimism.

the amazing situation return with two sides of love – gangster love and sutra love. the gangster side is an amazing clash of a skit from american gangster (heavily inspired by the eddy grant produced >funky like a train< by the equals) with donna summer. the resulting blend is as inspiring and surprising as it is unlikely. but with their usual disregard for boundaries and rules, situation seamlessly melt the two original cuts together into a perfect slice of discoid boogie that absolutely sets fire to the dancefloor. on the flip side, love of a deeper and groovier type oozes from sutra love. its a case of yet more top class, bass led disco action thats firmly focussed on maximum dancefloor reaction. this is without a doubt one of the best situations ever! and with heavy releases on disco deviance and their own imprint already under the belt that really is saying something.

after her massivly supported hitrelease on suchtreflex 6th outing, hamburg based djane >hey karolin< returns to the suchtreflex camp withanother fresh qualitytrack. >oh horse< will definitely catch the crowds by storm this summer! on the flipside you ll find a rework by piemont, the 4th one they did for their own label. the result is one of their typical >piemontish< funkmonsters!

fat! records are back! this, my friends, is jolly spiffing news – especially when they return with something as resoundingly large and summer-specific as this uk funky-tinged number from foamo. carnivalesque mischief abounds as horns and infectious afrobeats weasel their way through the mix of whistles and bass on >centavo< while >jookie< takes things even further south of soa paulo with an epic horn fest doest dissimlar to unitedeyess >sambana< if you can remember that far back. to say welcome back would be an understatement. idj mag review 10/10 and top tune feature! rob da bank played foamo >jookie< saturday on radio 1. mistajam drops “centavo” on bbc 1xtra 17.03.10

new hit for australian band, 2009 revelation. after the success obtained with >sweet disposition< (2 in music control chart for 2 weeks), here is a new dancefloor hit, with their music contaminations. elektronic.pop...progressive rock sounds! summer hit!
