earlier this year, todd sines inaugurated yore with the slamming techno-funk of the .xtrak release back_up ep and now returns for round two with dont stop. without losing the stripped-down, minimal tech-house funk essence of the .xtrak sound, sines ups the acid-house ante considerably in the new material. the old-school title cut makes an immediately vivid impression by repeating the insistent vocal hook >dont stop<-both command and mantra-over a towering backbeat. >cut to the chase< does exactly that with funky handclaps and syncopated swing, while the b-sides low-riding >unreflect< pairs dropouts and bass-crawling boogie. slightly different in character, the squiggly acid-techno track >quantum mechanics< is as precision-tooled as its title suggests. despite the subtle shift in stylistic emphasis, dont stop offers a splendid complement to the earlier release

step forward dubfire (aka ali shirazinia from grammy winning dj and production duo deep dish) whos already hit top form this summer with some tasty releases on desolat, funkwelle.net and whose thumping >emissions< features on the minus compilation >expansion contraction<. the beauty of this rework is that it doesnt stray far from the original vibe. dubfire pays the track the full respect it deserves, adding contemporary beats, bass and hat patterns, subliminal efx and tweaks that perfectly compliment the eq sweeps and machine gun snare rolls of the original. panikattack (originally released on plus 8 in 1996 as the b side to sickness) gets a more radical overhaul with guido schneider turning in a typically pragmatic version. by excavating and enhancing the gritty funk that lies buried under the feverish textures of the original, he discovers a totally new dimension. combining the plastik elements with his own trademark swing and razor sharp percussion programming, schneider coaxes the track out of the shadows for some serious peak time action as the bassline bounds forward relentlessly occasionally enveloped by stuttering delays, to negotiate its way through the dubbed out breakdown and on to the end

following the big success of their debut release >metro gold< berlin based resident dj of bar 25 red robin and format b member jakob hilden have come up with a very hitty and unorthodox big production as a follow up. the two club tracks of the upcoming >tales ep< are straightforward and reduced to the essentials. made out of pure power. >lazy jack< the a-side is another monster of a track. it holds the dark berlin side of techno, with its droning noises and delays. it reminds us a bit of chicago techno house at its best, but this is just one facetted of the track. it gets its other enthusiastic crazy over the top and emotional side from the whistle melody which sets in half way through the track. this leading sequenced is such a catchy tune that its sure to be heard in all mayor berlin clubs and eventually all around the globe. the b-side track >tin soldier< is a marching techno tune, with a cool slight swing programming in the rhythm and drugged out chords. creating a ghost town atmosphere, transforming the club into another >futureworld<

greenhouse is back in full swing with this 4 track monster. win for life is a funky driving bass, skippy beats, subtle pads and stabs, saa solo & urban sound fx track. cant knock it features tasty sax licks, smooth chords, head nodding bass, sound fx, tight beats and summertime nyc playground crowd noise. anyos win for life rmx: solid beats and percussion, filtered sax, deep bass and cool vocal elements. something for the the likes of jason hodges, mark farina and dj heather. rounding off the ep is john larners win for life remix. a deeper house joint with plenty of jazz & funk, tasty stabs, skippy beats and hats, featuring tasty rhodes licks, a variety of vocal elements and deep bass.

producer holger behn aka h.o.s.h. is back on stil vor talent with his third release and second 12 inch on oliver koletzkis imprint. his latest two tracks are all about house music, while always keeping a strict eye on the dancefloor. it starts with the tech-house anthem >grünanlage<, the name of a sunday afternoon open air in h.o.s.h.s hometown hamburg that he co-organises. the tune features a great clappy snare and some wonderful balearic guitar melodies, which swing over the fast loop. this tune is going to put a smile on your face wherever you are. on the flip there is >blaupause<, which translates as blueprint and is a dreamy housy pusher that keeps grooving with its synthie-stabs and warm bassline. later in the track h.o.s.h. adds an oldschool piano that pushes the track into another state with its drifting melody. it reminds us of so very many great rave moments. however, h.o.s.h. never gives in to the temptation of drifting off into cheese, stays cool at any given moment and keeps the seal of quality for his music very high. >blaupause< is a wonderful summery teaser that never explodes, but keeps imploding! h.o.s.h. once again does what he does best: delivering two wonderfully melodic tracks that fluctuate perfectly between house and techno. just the way we like it

3rd ep off the double disc mixed by grammy award winner louie vega. basils classic city streets is up first with kerri chandler turning out his smooth inspirational mix of this nu groove 1991 original classic release. his mix goes a little deeper than the original full spoken vocal but includes a jazzy saxophone and a heavier bass line making the track move along a little easier. some tribal beats and some thunder are added to really create the atmosphere & veritable feel of the rain. the late great house music singer sabrynaah pope sings her heart out on hold on. this is the actual original re issue from 1994 and still being played. other 2 singles that you will find on the vinyl ep are mood ii swing feat. carol sylvan, closer as well as the global no1 dance hit by blaze feat. barbara tucker most precious love. all these well known tunes make for an incredible set of throw backs coming from a very special album mixed by one of the worldwide legends of dance music

style of eye aka linus eklöw always saves his best work for tiny sticks. previous releases have come on the legendary classic recordings, mouthful, doubledown records, sugarcane and eye industries. following the success of his bigger sounding releases, hes back with a more stripped down, underground selection. rockett evolves around a very funky groove, a track with a lot of swing, it has all the hallmarks of a massive tune. sounding similar to john dahlback s huggotron style, a huge distorted electro riff takes over and drives it higher and higher. rockett comes with a dub version too. l.d.r. starts off with a bit more subtlety than rockett. starting with a lovely bouncy shuffling groove and expanding spacey keys and then getting more and more pumping as it goes on with giant drum rolls and shouty vox. another big one for the underground heads
