fresh inspiring minimal techno / techhouse .the a side is for sergio parrado, who offer us, a tech-house track, direct to the dance floor. tanto mini me vuelve maxi is one of those atemporal tracks, with a powerful and groove bass, crispy synths, awesome efx and a melody that twists itself in a surprising way. a long duration track ready for the more demanding dancefloor. on the bside, we meet 2 tracks from the valencian guy oscar barila. the first one is anxiety, an authentic bomb that, with no doubt, we will listen to many of the big ones. the song has a phrenetic rythm, a wrecker groove and psychedelic and mutant synths, that convert the track in a mortal weapon for the peaktime. the second song of the b side is giro tutto, powerful and smart techno in constant evolution. its percusive rythm is adorned with an acid and bubbly synth that unleashes in 2 explosive breaks.

amsterdam hits up the scene with a new imprint once more. after some years of friendship and some projects in the studio together, kabale und liebe and lauhaus team up again. this time to launch a new label. soweso records. with soweso records kabale und lauhaus want to put out new school house music. first up is the young and talented makam from the hague, holland. with his vintage sound he builts the perfect bridge between old- and newschool house music. the a side, the hague soul, is a real chicago house stomper with a character of its own. heavy beats, nagging synth sounds and a raw voice, all on a mission to prove that the hague is the soulful city. the b1, exception, is like a young thomas bangalter meets moodymann. here makam is freaking with his filterknobs, leaving the crowd waiting until he is ready to burst. bomb! on the b2 kabale und lauhaus pair up for a deeper remix that gives a more chemical end flowy vibe to the original of the hague soul. early support by karotte, nick curly, matthias kaden, johnny d and matthew dear

claque musique present their fifth release, which is a technoid gem from hugo (already responsible for the brilliant third 12 inch on the label, entitled born to bop) called strobo revenge. another zany electronic bullet that is destined to cause mayhem on dancefloors worldwide! on the a side, jumping beats, vocal mirages and compressed synths create the groove on the original mix of the title track. a fizzing bassline and echoing whistles enter later on and they give the track a slice of claque musique zaniness. a2, prismatic visual, is a powerful floor filler, which is slightly less crazy then its musical partner. hugo uses dependable percussion, watery synth action and inviting vocals to create this musical treat. on the flip side, carola pisaturo brings us a moody version of strobo revenge that squeezes something else out of those whistles. she employs heads down percussion, vocal shards and smooth synths on her version. portable/bodycode heightens the intensity with a jackin rerub that sends the track in another direction completely. marching beats, acidic synths and hollow bass drops work wonders on abrahams revision

the next installment from the new beyond imprint is with us, featuring two newcomers from the thriving us underground, kapuchon & benny rodriques. the pair bring a magical detroit infused collection of warm, urgent and modern house music into our peripheral vision where its simply hard to ignore … like a well loved vintage drum machine tweaked to perfection, or a dusty old synth rejuvinated, >and again< draws inspiration from the rich synthesised landscapes of classic detroit techno, however adds a totally fresh and modern aesthetic, through its use of precise drum fills and beatifully crafted harmonies. on a more thoughful, soulful tip, >unexpected< unravells itself with smooth chord atmospheres, driving, solid-state percussion and teasing delay fx. the story might be a familar one to those who have their ears firmly pressed to the dancefloor, but for good reason, as these two fine storytellers have crafted a golden moment for the late, late hours. the acidic ride of >potato tomato<, with its pushing sub bass and glistening crescendos is perhaps the toughest cut of the e.p, and delivers the energy where its needed whilst still holding onto that classic, deep-as-dawn chicagotodetroit vibe.

back on the heels of his first installment of hot tracks and beats comes vol. 2 from the most over-looked producer in the dance music industry today william >reelsoul< rodriguez. night flight is somewhat futuristic with a funkiness vibe too it as strong kicks and funky synth stabs and techy rhythms give this track a must play for all djs to vibe off of, while >phuture< brings the funk reelsoul is known for with a furious 4/4 stomper that will be sure heavy for all major djs in the dance music industry

the debut record of ritmolider kaleidoscope is a traditional studio work with live performance and classic analog sound. being in the era of nu disco and re edits the author has tried to find his own way of making music based on traditional methods of performance. and hes got a beautiful symbiosis of instrumental improvisations and electronic melodiousness. at the begining of the record theres a superb remix by the beat broker - deep, groovy synth disco, highly recomended for dancefloor! the second track is a journey into obscure psychedelic funk with lots of improvisations and atmospheric tunes....a pity so sweet percussions are added so late. b2 tonight at the discotheque will carry you away by the real soviet disco vibe. a beautiful arp solo softly flowing through amazing effects and acoustic drums focused on free played funky basslines. the original version of kaleidoscope is also a very interesting one. a mood of this composition is changed all the time. the first seconds of the track you hear a tender melodic solo which makes you feel calm and relaxed, then you get the groove coming from an agressive arpeggio and dinamic percussion. soon this feeling gets interrupted with a sudden slap bass impromtu playing together with a synthy accompaniment, and it turns into another feeling, and so on... this really reminds of kaleidoscope effect!

the first release on this new label is from gatto fritto who has released records on dissident and electric minds and recently remixed subway on souljazz. the a side hex is a nine minute, mid tempo, atmospheric, bearded disco trip taking in falsetto vocals, straight to video synths, acoustic guitars and the budget, analog death rattle of a vintage siel cruise. the bmside beachy head is a teutontastic tribute to the uks favourite suicide spot. a 3/4 krauty synth builder that spills into layered waves of guitars and unforgiving rocks of heavy analog bass...think klaus schulze and steve reich rolling off a cliff in 1983 datsun cherry.

amazing disco boogie holy grail was released on tim mabins own sapphire imprint back in 1984. because of the fact that tim was forced to work with a limited budget, he only could press up 500 copies, just a few copies were exported out of the country. this became a real crate diggers treasure, changing hands for $100 and more. we are really proud to offer you this official re-issue. jimmy jam is a true dance floor burner. solid lynn drum machine beats, fat grooving minimoog bassline, crazy synth work and amazing vocals make this tune a must have! the instrumental is included too. floorfiller

der thal is been playing all over germany and hes been trying to build up his own sound and skills. after making a great remix of reynolds track >craft< on trenton 027 he is now giving us 3 great tracks for a full maxi. mentona ep is a bit of a journey into what trenton use to be about at the very beginning with a techno that is very close to the old school detroit vibe… in der thals music there are a lot of melodic sounds and tough tight beats to keep us on the ground. >mentona< and >maszo< are floating on air with strings and synth lines when >puston< reminds us more of some >tejada< grooves! a great ep anyway from der thal who is definitely on the way to become one of these great young gifted producers that care about music mainly.

ruede hagelsteins the modest theme has proven to be one of souvenirs most provocative releases so far. released in the summer, the tracks dramatic horn hook is so epic it belongs in a science fiction film and as a piece of forward thinking techno, it ranks among one of souvenirs best. now the track is back with a remix from souvenir spearheads tiefschwarz alongside a new track from berlin based ruede. semikolon is another dark and dubby deep tech-housy outing for ruede that begins with a dramatic spoken word by naneci and ominous organ stabs. as the track progresses it takes on a chicago house vibe re-imagined at 10am in the panorama bar. an urgent bell begins to ring through the track raising the tension as the vocal intones a surreal chant before giving way to huge synth stabs that lead the track into a slow motion emotional explosion. just when things can get any more hectic the crescendo sinks to silence compressing the energy before the beats emerge back in their earlier deep house guise. ali and bast schwarz take their turn at remixing the modest theme fresh from their incendiary remix of emad kamandians kamanche for souvenir 012. the signature dramatic horn riff remains albeit injected with new percussion lending the track a tough tech house appeal that places it within the context of 2008s underground house sound. both tracks are another addition to souvenirs impressive collection of music aimed at the head just as much as they are at the heart and feet.

the berlin based dj and highgrade-artist jens bond presents with his new ep >hypochonder< his latest work. bond is allready known for his percussive tracks beside that the resident dj of berlins watergate club is well established thanks to his collaborations with benno blome (sender records) and guido schneider (pokerflat). in the namegiving titeltrack for this new ep for highgrade jens bond gives it all: stakkatos of rolling percussions meet pearling synth-lines, creating a jacking, neverending groove. >got some…< develops this recipe for success more into a slightly darker direction, while keeping up beeing changefull with the same >hands-up<-factor. instead of a break mr. bond serves us with >paulista grill< the next highlight of this ep. massive, with a touch of darkness, build on a strong fundament of a funky, dry-asa-bone groove. three tracks, simultaneously eventfull and homogeneous, carrying clearly jens bonds signature.

after a wait of 15 years and numerous 12es, e s, random compilation tracks and remixes rude 66 has finally finished a full length album and dare we say it s his most cohesive work to date? sadistic tendencies begins where 2005 s three faces of fear ep ended, with 18 tracks that slide like snails on the edge of straight razors, exploring the dark side of the human condition. thematically connected, deep, dark and mind bendingly analogue, sadistic tendencies is both tense and full of release, sometimes brooding and encroaching at other times exploding into throbbing synth laden dance floor bombs. superlatives aside, sadistic tendencies works exceptionally well as an album and is one of those rare 70 minute journey s that can be enjoyed from beginning to end – like a good horror movie that scares the hell out of you, but keeps drawing you in.

lunar disko records from dublin hits the streets with an ep from berlin based producer sneak-thief. two space-disco tracks to warm your heart and move your feet! the hagues mr pauli is on remix duties with his trademark basslines and sweeping analogue synth sounds. the hagues disco-master delivers another masterpiece to set the dancefloor on fire! dont pass the flipside with not a ghost as my secret highlight for that vinyl!! only 500 copies available.

whether it is early december or late august, gel abril keeps it hot or cool - depending on which side of the equator youre on - with an exceptional 12inch of synth soaked, bleep saturated and tech drenched house. all exclusively produced by the talented shlomi aber in their hometown of tel aviv, israel. collectively they have released on josh winks ovum rec as well as their own acclaimed be as one imprint. eerie sounds meshed with techno chirps are trademark elements of the be as one crew sound, but it is the dramatic synth chord breakdowns and perfectly plump and rounded kick drum that stand out in this outing. so plump and juicy in fact, one can almost get lost in >miranda< through the rhythmic thudding of the pristine bass drum. suddenly a parade of jumbled synth snippets frolic and bobble around like umpa lumpas randomly jumping on a trampoline. think this track is all fun and games? play this peak time and watch the crowd do the >tel aviv shuffle<. don t know what that is? watch it appear before your eyes as the hypnotic sound washes over the ears of the captivated crowd

one of the finest deepest tearjearking jams ever to come from the brains of the legendary american producer stinkworx! coelacanth is a piece-de-resistance of soulfull technoblues where moody synth riffs play over an irresistable funk baseline. on the other side we find the track amira another huge deep detroit techno jam where basic channel-esque chords evaporate over a sauce of delicate electronics. two beautifull tracks with which stinkworx continues the great american techno legacy. to finish everything off there is a syncom data remix of the track coelacanth where the baseline is squeezed out to the max!

sometime chicken lips collaborator and full time disco don stevie kotey keeps the momentum going on his longstanding and ever consistent imprint by going slightly off piste with the latest bearfunk 12inch. for my friends is the work of lusty zanzibar aka alex cordiner, cabaret voltaire fan and former holistic artist, and we re struggling to describe it effectively to be honest. its a simple concoction of fluttery synth riffs and fat bottom end, but has the sort of quirky melody that you just dont expect to hear in a noo disco record, or a house record for that matter. it is, however totally infectious, and destined to be one of bearfunks biggest of the year we reckon. solid mixes come from kotey and lusty himself, and all are dominated by the riff, as will your brain be after listening to this package a few times. beginning of the night, end of the night, all night, all aboard the wonky disco train to zanzibar

a huge tech house output!! the a side proposes >welcome to the moon<, a pure underground anthem with his instantly recognisable and wicked drum programming style. then the track drops a huge and energetic bass line with a screaming 90s rave-influenced synth loop. the dark voice rises among random effects giving that spacey atmosphere when the break push it up to the standout climax. are you house heads ready for this? the b side drives us to another planet >mars<.this progressive-tech track stands into dark-prog line. packed with loud bass this is another big room tune that everybody should play. the bass line rolls on a simple drum pattern giving to the synth the main objective to make you shout. then the whole track is served up by a constant acid line creating a sinister feeling to this club monster

the wurst edits gang has inducted yet another ny disco acolyte to the fold, the inimitable irishman-in-new york, eamon harkin. known for wild dj sets not to mention his innovative bookings at such parties as sunday best and fun, harkins no stranger to dance music. no wonder the mans shared bills with such legends as afrika bambaataa, juan atkins, grandmaster flash, the egyptian lover, and kevin saunderson. on his debut single, the man heads straight into peak-time territory with the sinister sounds of >john boy<, where synth toms jump out of the shadows only to punctuate an incredibly propulsive groove. >innit< takes a decidedly different turn down edits lane, rejuvenating an early 90s house gem in magnificently wurst fashion.

not a lot is known about who is behind the amplified orchestra moniker, although there is a chicago address stamped on the vinyl. cosmic slope is a spacey number, with bubbly basslines and a full retro synth workout to challenge the likes of moroder and co. it has a great cosmic vibe to it, with some lovely sounding synth solos and a bubbling bassline. the title track, on the flip, fun thing is a sick acid work out with a mean and aggressive 303 bassline, housey stabs, cool strings, superb sy

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

die dritte & letzte 12inch auskopplung vom >peaks and troughs< album wird im dunkelblauen mamorierten vinyl ausgeliefert. mit vocalunterstützung von paul st.hilaire und einem remix von mike huckaby

panormous nusic finally got the chance of releasing its first vinyl which is care by wellknown sicilian dj flavio lodetti with the ep called saratassi...

nice price deal !!! this record is the finale in the three part 12 inch single project from brooklyns free blood. first up is the club friendly parangatang. broken house beats with increasingly hectic vibes are accompanied by an old time piano melody as the duo continues their onslaught of head scratchingly unique pop singles that maintain a fierce rhythmic consistency. the original is followed by tummy touch records tim love lees remix. lee strips away all but the essentials and adds a heady analog synth melody in place of most of the vocals, creating a proper dance dub version.

brand new mixes of the this years soulful gem!! dj pap aka black mamba presents its the music that features a sensual vocal by cei bei over a melancholic synth and guitar, deep yet mellow groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys. early tastemaker reactions: halo: bro, the sampler is really hot bro i love all the tracks on there, full support from me marlon d, roland clark, rocco...

>dis poesy of jah< is the 1st ep of krispaglia, french artist, fascinated by the athospheric sounds and abstract dub, we offer 4 tracks in these environments. one enters the a side with >the jah< a track dub house african roots with african voices and drums accompanied by sustained athmospheric synth to continue in these environments with >je prie pour vous< track gospel dub house or broken drum mixes and gospel sample voice and abstract synth. the b side leaves speak dub tinged with afro.

super split 12 inch showing the diversity of current neo-disco / balearic stuff. beat brokers >cactus< is a synth laden spiraling tune that ows as much to italo disco as to early techno. it comes with a more string dominated citizen kane remix. on the flip lars behrenroth (deeper shades, freerange) presents with >the beach< a different side of himself with a sweet laidback balearic tune that comes with a equally nice jazzier mudd remix.

bang on house music! kez ym is a japanese producer and hosts his own club night in tokyo and plays along side jazzanova, gilles peterson, jimpster, ame, jazztronik and many more. sweetly confused is a 12inch with deeeep house groovers with phat basslines, solid key- and synth work, dreamy leads and a catchy vocal sample. maybe the strongest house banger on the ice versatile 4lux label! this easily fits in dj sets next to tracks from moodymann, theo parrish, rick wade and the like. simply timeless house music. another winner.

steffen baumann & stefan hollaender got the inspiration for that track from the shant of an unknown shaman. the hypnotic vocals and the massiv bassline make the track to an bomb somewhere between deep-house & tech-house. the >taste t meets wishes & dreams remix< on has much more progressiv-house elements. the bassline of the original tracks is picked up by a warm but also pumping synth line. the track is released on a 10 inch record.

an extremely tasty 4 tracker from the massively talented par grindvik. the a1 is a real killer with its rising synths and sledgehammer drums whereas the a2 is a perfect contrast with its slow intense minimal groove. the b1 again is a real floor burner with its driving groove and clever synth edits halfway. the record closes with a superb more minimal interpretation yet agin. drumcode again proves it is still one of the most cutting edge imprints around... limited backstock available

darkos productions have attracted the attention of djs from all over the world. his remix of the title track of nina mirandas (smoke city) album shrift in 2005 was one example, earning him critical acclaim when the remix reached the top 10 in the us download charts. more recently mr rakas has joined darko and his strange worlds collective. together they have embarked on a musical mission, blending deep minimal house and techno with eastern european romani gypsy jazz. simplicity is the operative word best to describe this release. the over sexed sax solo of sexaphone (a one take wonder performed by ben hadwen) takes house music to a new level, whilst danote on the other hand reflects on the hypnotic repetition of the hook, building a solid groove around a repeating synth line, appearing here in two versions, the stripped back extended mix and the more immediate club edit. another great release from the up, coming and one to watch label universal vibes.

franco cinelli, one of the most gifted new producers coming out of argentina, presents here six uncompromisingly quirky club bombs. his previous releases on milnor modern and telegraph have just warmed you up to his sound. now dive in to >profundo amor< and get familiar with these intricately programmed club stompers. you can call it minimal, but when these tracks go ripping through a big pa, thats the last word that will be on your mind. with the opening track >flog<, you get a taste of the freaky after-hours grit that alphahouse records is becoming known for. >m26< is a robotic hair-raiser for the new generation. think minus on steroids. >twisted machine< features a stompy groove and some snare work to drive the dancefloor. >vertientes< is a great dj-tool with a low-slung bassline and dancing synths. >c3d< bounces along with a razor bassline and some tricky transitions. and >project 64< finishes off the lp with a synth line that falls out of the ceiling and straight onto the dancefloor. truly inspiring stuff here, from franco. no filler tracks. all of these are a-sides

the truesoul imprint represents the somewhat soulful side of its owner - adam beyer. here, cari lekebusch takes up the challenge and produces two wonderful tracks. on the a side we are treated to a wonderful deep 808 driven groove with eerie pads, neat reverses and cool cowbells that creates a wonderful intensity. on the flip side again the deep groove is apparent with neat vocoded vocal samples and fat bass before there is a cool break and the main synth sound appears in the track to give it a seriously intense lift

pumpin bassline and a very emotional synth hook something for those who like border community

adam beyer imprint. a stunning two tracker by agaric and steve logan. the a side is a fantastic chugging track with razor sharp production that just builds and builds with key elements like swirling vocals and synths and a funky bassline. the flip takes a much darker approach with its reverse bass line, synth pattern and super sharp hi hats. this is another fanatastic release from one of the hottest labels around at the moment

in our opinion alex bau is one of the best harder techno producers out there. his material over the last 5 years has been both energetic and groundbreaking. his material for zenit has been particulrly good and this is new release is is no exception. both tracks are different but equally effective. the a side is a driving hard edged techno cut with its pounding kick drum and sharp percssion. the track is punctauted with catchy synth riffs and stabs to great effect. the flip side is truly monstrous with its dark dirty warehouse feel and fat sub bass and string edits. great, great record

this year adam beyer s seminal drumcode label celebrates its 10th anniversary. to commemorate this there will be a wealth of material coming out this year as well as some special drumcode parties after the summer that will feature hardcell and grindviks amazing live act. this follows their live cd release from the end of last year. as part of this the gain series will now continue with more material from these 2 and this is the first 4 tracker to continue the series. the tracks themselves are a fresh and varied ranging from the hard synth driven anthem that is salt and the harder driving rhythm gate bay to the exceptionally subtle groove with deep chords that is plankton to the sublime fish tank with its clever building feel and uplifting pads

after the success of the beautiful and sultry ‚move with me‘ on poker flat 97, alongside patrick chardronnet‘s blissfully deep ‚days like these‘, david durango is back with three mesmerising tracks on dessous. like a dark, empty night made warm by the pure, reviving light of day, ‚striptease‘ is an epic tale of love and resolution. skipping, light percussion flourishes are joined by memorable chord phases that wash through and over the senses. a tender and sincere detroit style breakdown is then skillfully danced out with teasing, climactic moments of tension. ‚human‘ is by comparison a lighter journey, as durango trusts his rhythmic instincts and pulls out some fresh and airy hypnotising synth stutters and a rich palette of spacious percussion. neo-chicago stlye, ‚japanese revenge‘ is a faster paced deep-down groover that works chugging organ stabs and jacking beats along with glorious room-filling bending synth glides. it‘s a versatile track that sums up durango‘s unmistakable talent for creating an atmosphere and a celebratory, old-school vs new school vibe. durango‘s skilled, un-rushed style is the key here, and leads to three very unique dancefloor excursions, each with their own directions, moods and tingling electronic atmospheres.

deep atmospheric synth driven house - roger sanchez/dj chus playlist

hot on the heels of her last feel good smash these times, comes kimaras latest jammer far away, with two very distinctive remixes, the first by distant musics jon cutler. one might think we picked jon because of his coincidental label/song title relation, but one would be wrong! we picked jon because his superb production skills. the man behind the worldwide triumph its yours, as well as many others, brings a good bit o bounce to the dance floor on this remix. his lush piano chords, funky percussion, and synth zaps are a perfect bed for kimaras strong vibrant vocals to lay upon. he also turns in a truly slick dub for those looking for a bit less vox. for those looking for more tech, one of our favorite new dance producers out of japan, hideo kobayshi, slings us with a tougher, warpier punch (and dub) that ll get hearts and feet movin in synch.
