rene breitbarths sphere ep,which brought the succesful start of the primarily digital only-label, is now available as an actual record. the track of the same name is already deemed to be a timeless summer hit for several digital/cd djs, and cant stop to spread a positive mood. likewise, easy cant help to keep your feet stuck to the ground with its fluffy chords and melodies, which again create happiness all over. then hypno gets it really deep - minimal house with swing and a hypnotic approach for floor groovers.

nice price deal !!! after their debut-outing >el prólogo< and the subsequent >cocofai< on barraca music, we are extremely pleased to introduce danny fiddo & affkt on 3rd floor records. after the huge success of >points< everyones attention quickly turned to the two valencians and their distinctive sound. their unusual take on house and techno continues on >el baladre<, but this time around they present us with two swing-influenced tracks, guaranteed to prepare everyone for the summer season. on b2, upcoming dane andreas jørnvil takes >la safa< to new depths with a smooth deephouse-makeover.

mufo has garnered attention a few years ago with his c.l.a.u.d.i.a. 12-inch for kompakts k2 imprint, and sounds set to do so again with colors. anything but monochromatic, >one color< opens with stripped-down, tech-house swing before adding shuffling pulses and melodic accents that are both jittery and robotic. working itself up to a skittish, metronomic broil, the track exudes an android relentlessness that?s offset by repeated change-ups. on the b-side, di francesco brings the funk on >two colors<, six minutes of swizzling electro-techno whose palette is anything but muted. the tune squawks and sputters like some incessantly sneezing synthesizer apparatus in what could pass for a fractured 23rd-century techno take on zydeco. with this release in hands, its again proven without a doubt, that persistencebit continues the global hunt for quality. supported by: robert leiner (www.leinermedia.net): >good use of the korg wavestation on both< andrew duke (andrew duke in the mix radio brodcast since 1987): >excellent my favourite track is one color< ryaz khan (ww.chry.fm / myspace.com/diversionsradioshow): >solid release i love both cuts<xpansul (minus,plus 8 records): >two colors is great. thanks.<

henry l is the new moniker of cologne based producer/dj thats already known to the drum & bass world as henree (with releases on established labels like soul:r, cia deepkut and soundtrax just to name a few). even though hes still busy in that genre (unless others) it was about time to contribute something to a genre he always felt and took inspiration from. the other day at the basement reminds on an early mood ii swing vibe, pitched down to the right tempo. marcus worgull stripped down >the other day at the basement< a little, focussed on dubby stabs and added some wonderful harmonies to this hypnotic tune. when the soulful piano comes in, theres no question that this marcus worgull dub is one of his best remixworks to date. >wake up< is a sexy 109 bpm monster and as funky as house should be. if you need one word to describe this dope jewel it might be bouncing!<. just awesome dope shit, soulful, slow and moving

hand clappin, foot tappin, knee slappin - mr. a skillz presents the latest hot nugget from finger lickin. happiness is a collaboration with south coast superstar dj, krafty kuts. sunshine sounds that swing a punch at the credit crunch whilst the world slips into recession, money wont bring happiness. could this be the anthem to save us from national meltdown? funky brass stabs, jazzy keys and hand clappin beats make this an instant hit, already proven so at a skillzs sell out shows and championed by radio 1s annie mac. on the flip he has hooked up with beatbox legend beardyman who recently performed in front of al gore alongside wyclef jean and will.i.am at a computer convention in the states. a long night locked in the studio with a case of shandys and the dynamic duo came up with this fun tastic jb inspired groove. all vocal dexterity comes courtesy of one mans mouth and anothers nifty talents on his laptop.

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!

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

the flame recordings is proud to announce heimat 35! this is the name of the new ep from the top italian dj and producer andrea fiorito, a lot of experience on stage mixed with a touch of class like few artists untill now. in this work he puted together his passion for swing music from 1920-1940s with a super house groove. the result is something he likes to call swinging cabaret house in the a side. about b1 side andrea fiorito likes to play with some chicago old school techno elements and jazz organs mixed with strong native percussions. b2 imagine to make a trip in america latina, some strong cuban influences together with funk bassline to let you dance when the sun is shining!

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.

dan anderegg & richie heller aka dirty sole release a new superb ep on robsoul. after release on classic in 2002 or carioca music, they delivery a hip house jazz on phil weeks label with a mike dixon fetauring and remix. ever seen on g swing, classic or hudd traxx, mike collaborate with people like derrick carter, james curd & more. first 500 units with limited cover. winner deep release on paris chicago connection!!!

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

funky minimalism and electronica

hot minimalism & electronica with the rip-off artist

incl supergroovin touane remix !! the fourth release onthis supercool italy label is one by criss aka the rain. a very surprising release in a very positive way! minimal with a darker vibe into in and a irresistable swing that can t be missed.

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
