the third installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series is a showcase for two standout songs off their album stars of zoo. >sf< is a throwback to classic house tracks, with a modern twist - a playground full of joyous children have invaded its sly, bongo-laden grooves. yet these precocious youngsters are only part of the story – the beats insistent and ever-changing swing never lets up for more than a couple of moments. >2< is more ominous but no less effective. its primary percussion enters like springs filling up an echo chamber, gradually morphing into several competing themes that weave together throughout the track. 2s bass is a serious force, creating a physical presence that must be heard on a large system to be believed!

the very first and long awaited album by the bavarian pirate soul kings 7 samurai! >el mundo nuevo< features unreleased tracks and outstanding remixes by 7 samurai, such as their mix for jorge ben, mo horizons, dining room and others. a great mixture of soul, latin, brasil, jazz, swing, reggae, dub, dancehall and hip hop? and a true bomb for the summer! dj support comes from mr.scruff, nik weston, quantic, dj e.a.s.e. (nightmares on wax), mad mats, red astaire, michael ruetten, dom servini, karl injex etc..

directly from detroit by shawn rudiman

selten lagen treffsicherer clubwumms, die essenzen aus dem swing des jazz und musikalischer anspruch so nah beieinander, dass sich die nächtliche gemeinde komplett darauf einigen kann. kopfmusik für die beine mit der glückseligkeit nicht verkopft zu sein. support by: richie hawtin, mathias kaden, laurent garnier, wighnomy brothers, krause duo , troy pierce, tim xavier, monika kruse

one of the first ever-productions from roger sanchez from the early nineties. bleepy proto-house rave action the predates the underground solution stuff. deep, sparse and highly classy original techno. now is the time to fill the gap in your collection! reissue comes in high quality mastered sound / original label / polylined bags / shrink wrapped. tracklisting: a1 world of dreams mix ,a2 r.e.m. beats , b1 deep in swing mix , b2 higher understanding

mysterious and most of all vinyl only whitelabels seem to be the call of the day. if they are as good as this one here i have no doubt - this trend will stay our fried. open produced bassy and sweat boxing, slamming chicago - detroit- chicago style house with great piano chord and slight pitched atmosphere. somehow between early chez n ron and roy davis , dj pierre, kerri, mood2 swing, nu groove, kot. now ive almost named them all. oops… . sinister but oh so sexy!

collection of three remixes by dan x - one half of no assembly firm. meaty, bumping chicago house with swing jazz samples.

civa goes straight to the point with his first release on takuma records...the ipnotic loop around which the track is built will make your body swing all the way!!! civa is ready to drive a long way and you will hear a lot of talking about him...pay attention club hit!!!

produced by matt jam lamont teaming up with chicago legend tyree cooper. the man who brought us from acid house to hip house returns in fine voice, with a groove reminiscent of mike dunn, uplifting beats for those who like to move it.

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

rhodes accents and analog synth melodies, while a vocal chorus ups the soul ante during the marching strut of who am i, a beautiful example of timeless house music if there ever was one. in futuristic funk, a looped voice incessantly repeats too late now, thereby adding a touch of delirium to the tunes stomping swing, after which the vocal line expands into the chanted pray for brighter days / too late now / lose myself in the future / too late now. warmed by old-school synth flourishes, congas, and rhodes melodies, millers rich and seductive club music makes surrender the only possible proposition and a release so rarely deep and musical, which is therefore not to be missed.

dj support by : james flavour, jamie jones, karotte, sebo k... hamburgs chris gruber and nils nurnberg have been doing an array of production and mixes for multiple labels lately but these two tracks stick out. both sparkle with a dense and intense still airy and reduced approach to modern deep electronic house. oz yavooz enigmatic skilled vox raunt gives >c mon & dance< a demanding twist to it, mixing old school new jack swing with a bright metreuropean attitude. a typical wasnotwas relerase mixing classical sound quotation with vibrant forward thinking music. gruber & nurnberg drop the ballistics here with a double a side rocking the cradle & floor with style and ease not often heard lately. the rest we leave up to you to decide being sure we wont disappoint

new masterpiece by multiple award winning british heroes!!

daniel mehlhart steps up to the plate for kindischs seventeenth release, origami - an exquisitely deep, languid house jam laced with strung-out, processed spanish guitar and gently euphoric xylophone arpeggios. >origami< is languid, yes, but not exactly laid-back: its held up and propelled forward by a gently vibrating lattice of kickdrum and snare hits, through which a dubby, molten bassline and taut, time-keeping chords dreamily but determinedly flow. the perfect soundtrack to the mixed pace of summers long days and even longer nights. mehlhart harks back to his acclaimed past releases on karmarouge and neutonmusic for >alles klar alles easy<, which sees brushed drum and shaker sounds edited into a quietly explosive techno work-out with serious swing. >fata morgana< begins in a more linear, four-to-the-floor style, but those percussive flourishes quickly accrue into something more strange, and then out of the ether comes an entrancing, south american-style chorus line. the voices mingle imperceptibly with woodblock strikes and caustic snares, injecting the techno dna >fata morgana< with a sick and psychedelic voodoo funk. with this 12inch kindisch once again proves itself to be a preeminent stable for experimental, expressive dancefloor music, and daniel mehlhart affirms his status as one of our most daring and capable producers

nice vocal house tune with great tribal vibes, deep rhythms and some special swing-flavour!

played by: italoboyz, audiofly, audio werner, chris titjen, anthony collins, kreon & lemos, chris carrier, alexander flitsch, mathias kaden... here is the second release of the masomenos live mix project, snaky ep this time, three tracks by masomenos, that all evokes space & time travel… asided >aftermamas< is a housy & paddy track. as in a space odyssey, the tracks starts with a rhythmical countdown, as if the rocket was about to leave, and then gets you into a trip through the glittering stars…enjoy the trip! on b-side >space flamenco< is a percusiv track that will swing every track it is played with. a great combination with >aftermamas<. for example. >travel master< is a deep & smooth invitation to >take a ride<. perfect to warm up a crowd with a pumping & happy groove

as one of the leading voices in japans techno and house scene, this dj, producer and live performer knows what dark textures, dirty bass lines and driving beats are all about. this ep arrives as a bit of a powerful undercover tool style installation, full of simple percussive allotments, syncopated synth bass stabs and plenty of swing. hane starts out as a pretty straightforward loop minded drum workout, but before you know it a delicately plucked synth jam ignites the mix.

set to become a definite summertime fave from kyoto jazz massives shuya okino & vocalist divinti >shine< is an infectiously catchy vocal workout featuring an array of mixes from the mighty (and much loved!) mood ii swing. spins from louie, quentin & dennis f to start!

funky minimalism and electronica

after the genre-smashing, seven vinyl pressings deep (and counting) success of viktor casanova, there is no way that the italoboyz could possibly top their first appearance on mothership, right? wrong! we are happy to report that they have created an organic techno masterpiece in >bahia<, enlisting the help of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - john coltrane. youve never heard the master like this - the italoboyz have molded the original >bahia< into a stomping peak timer as only they can. their trademark monster kick underpins stuttering jazz kits, a playful piano line, and an insistent, soulful tenor sax sample from the man himself (cleared after four months of intense negotiations). bahias intro leads into one of the most surprising and euphoric breaks you will ever hear. there are two versions to choose from - the party swing mix gets right to the point, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck. the flip sides mucho lungo mix is perfect for those late night warehouse moments, taking its time to deliver the sweet payoff

the 4th release on the label sees whistla wearing his 2-step influences proud with 2 tracks of off kilter garage beats, heaven oozes swing and groove. the bass line bubbles around a twisted vocal line whipping any listener into a frenzy which will see them swiveling across any dancefloor, studio or bedroom

first ep from the upcoming gregory del piero full length album after having several hit records on such labels as subliminal, swing city and black vinyl, gregory del piero comes up with his first full length album i love you more which is already considered by many in the industry as the best soulful house music album of 2007. it took five years for gregory to put this project together and the wait was definetely worth it.

nice price deal !!! once again taken from paris well respected pro zak imprint, this seductive, spliffed out odyssey takes the listener home after a blunted journey through future roots riddims for the millenium. grau one is the first one of a to be continued series. a side: big synthetic rave dancefloor bomb with an on the road again swing bassline. side b: monty rock is an electro elegant hypnotic 80s new wave transe danceflloor hit! dont forget your boots and your slim jeans.

dj support : matthias kaden, jimpster, italoboyz, karotte, tom clark & amongst others !! a 4 tracker this time called >nautical dawn<, theodors square basses are groovy as hell and as usual the swing notch is turned all the way to 16.e j!!! pieces of short and abstract vocal samples appear here and there and some fantastic jazzy sounding melodies played by old instruments like this pseudo vibraphone-guitar on the strong first track called jazzphysics or this 70s wha-pedal arabic strings on nautical dawn. theodor expands his horizon by developing a new genre that we could name something like >smart minimal melodic dry ass funk<?!? so if you like bouncing beats and want to experience serious booty shaking while you play that piece, then this record is >sans aucun doute<

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

two armadillos are giles smith and martin dawson. their sound can loosely be described as deep house with more techno influences, whether that be detroit or modern minimal sounds. their tracks have warmth, depth and groove, yet have enough energy for the floor. “tunnel of light ep” on dessous is their first release working together. with more material ready expect to hear more about two armadillos very soon. tip

detroit techno at its best massive strings and a beat that makes all the hips swing on the a side on the flip you will find a comment to the 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
