the music is playful, ambitious, simple, complex, fun and melancholic and not at least. it is extremely animalistic. they have an album >animals< ready to drop in 2007. elephant s parade was played completely live with drum machines, synths and analogue sequencers. the duo like to record this way (compared to stuck infront of the computer) as they get more free in creating a specific and spontaneous feeling. here one might imagine a big gang of crazy elephants getting lost on a psychedelic parade. in the middle of the track things are getting a bit weird, perhaps too much amarulla fruit, which gives the second part its childish and naïve playfulness. on the flipside bird song has a dirty, noisy, trippy vibe with a little touch of basic channel sound. shake a tail feather !! played by anja schneider, karotte, tobi neumann, troy pierce, woody

2 strong electrohouse tracks with a lot of discoid atmosphere via its great flowing synths and keys

supported by karotte !! with the signing of south-german newcomer dizko toaster oliver koletzki rediscovers his old love for squeaky peak-time disco house. toast hawaii is one of those tracks, starting with the sound of the sea breaking and combining filtered disco grooves with sexy techno synths that take you back to the hedonism of studio 54. the track itself is the bomb, but the list of remixers is impressive, too: koletzki as parker frisby turns it into a smashing hit adding his typically strong loops and some hypnotic vocals. on the flip man of the moment remute contributes his production skills and creates an effect-laden driving techno piece full of surprises. stil vor talents own h.o.s.h. then takes a totally different approach resulting in a deep and warmly grooving detroit-style track that immerses the listener into the depth of the tune. this record is a lot of fun

detroit native kevin worthy aka worthy is deep lives up to his name with 3 slices of laidback, atmospheric cuts that ooze with warm pads and synths. >emotional content< is a complete spectrum of emotions put to music. a voyeuristic snapshot that captures the joy & pain of the dance music scene

dreamy progger with a spoken male vocal sample backed with a massive bassline and atmospheric synths

the line in between will be released as three vinyl singles and a cd album. the second single includes two tracks from the album, >lost< and >panamuno <,with two brilliant remixes by zentex and 3 channels. the original version of >lost<is all about minimal hi-tech funk with a jackin flavour, while zentex s (kickboxer)soulseek remix drives on ghostly melodies and a haunting soundscape. the flipside tune panamuno is filled with warm synths, beautiful strings and a hypnotic melody,yet again by the frozen north grand wizard himself.3 channels remix thrives on controversy and begins where the original version ends. a real gem for the likes of progressive approach! martin landsky,loco dice..

after 3 releases on od records and one more recently on initial+, heko is back in force with a four tracker transcending into the depths of electro-fried synths with solid grooves and italo bassliners. a1, primavera: an electro house tune with a touch of metro area will really take control of the audience. a2, voyager: more catchy, this tune is a pure dancefloor killer with its powerfull bassline & dark synths. b1, energy 3000: a definitly disco beat and vibe for moroder fans, electro toms scattered all over the mix with furious high pop-synth. b2, mrs butterfly: dedicated for cosmic old-timers, this butterfly brings you into a magic trip through its funky bass, afro beats & full of love rodhes. definitly the release of maturity, this fatal dance music weapon finds its place in all dj s bag

the criminals welcome alexander maier to their roster with his stunning track >ino<, which comes with a equally strong remix by sian (pokerflat, dessous) on the b-side! alexander maier aka dj all*star has previously released on exun records and has remixed artists like phonique, kris menace, etc. and is also part of kleinkariert. his releases are supported by carl craig, david duriez, fafa monteco, phonique to name only a few.alexander maier returns on criminal with a stunning, a little bit trance influenced, track with beautiful harmonies and melodies. a throbbing, undefined and sexy bassmelody accompanies the beautiful pads throughout the journey. we know it s not the typical criminal sound you are used to, but we had to get our hands on this track as it is simply wonderful! and since we are releasing an ep by sian next year, we thought it d be a nice introduction to criminal to have sian remix >ino<. his remix catches a similar vibe to the original, but features more progressive synths and sounds. but hey… have a listen yourself and you ll understand what we re talking about!

jake childs requires very little introduction to the more discerning house ear. with releases on leading labels including drop music, freerange and doubledown, not to mention his own uni.form imprints, he has taken the house world by storm over the past few years. here he serves up some retro chicago sounding yet stripped back jackers. seems really simple at first, a real trademark of jake s sound, but its bumpin bassline, bleeps and squelches grow around you becoming more intense with every listen. the flip delivers >good times< which incorporates his brand of choppy jackin beats, punchy snares, gritty synths and rolling bass that rips apart any dancefloor. the track flips mid-way and bubbles under as the bass lines compete for attention before recombining for another roof raising moment. the >beat machine< is an eerie voyage into the middle ground between house and pop. once again moody synths and a growling sub bass lead the way, with the haunting vocals of lil prince (who has previously featured on jake s icon and drop music eps) gliding over the mix! hot floor burning shit

played by the dahlbäcks, zoo brazil, c. lekebusch… >couldn t care less<: squelching synths and a ruckus beat that jacks you like a wack on the head pulse through the electryfied bodies until they glide in to an epic, spacious breakdown with sunset synths – and thrown straight back into the twitching beats that complement the fanfares of wild burping basses that push you over the edge. >jattedansen<: if you prefer to happily shuffle on the mad side of things, opt for the chugging, squelching nip-and-tuck of >chunky little thing< that grooves in stop-and-go fashion straight into those hotstepping dancing feet. organ stabs and squeaky, choppy synths make this a mind bending slow burner that grooves without mercy

joaquin durrieu aka paradoxxx is a producer hailing from buenos aries, argentina that already has a reputation for music that is freshly electronic and futuristic in its appeal. this is definitely one of the strongest 3 track eps to surface in the progressive house genre offering an upbeat approach that is all about zooming fx, layer upon layer of synths and melody sweeps anchored by crisp, crunchy beats

audiomatique welcomes uros umek! his reputation as slovenias hottest dj & producer didn t remain unnoticed, as he is receiving glowing praise from djs all over the world. amongst a growing following of international admirers, his excellent and beautiful rocking tracks can be heard on nearly every dancefloor.>akul< kicks off with a percussive rhythm before a dark synth and a charismatic chord are driving the piece along. > complikator< is a relentless and dramatic backing of severe synths, rising pads and swirling noise. the bass is similarly intense, throbbing away before developing for a melodic break. it s quite a head-turner and will create a buzz in the clubs. welcome to audiomatique, umek

poker flat labelhead steve bug returns with a new 12inch, >wet n dry<. >wet< on the a-side kicks off with a punchy kick n shakers and a dark chord which sneaks up from behind and slowly makes your feet move, before the irresistably groovy bassline comes in and paves the way for a slow rising climax. very nice fresh n funky synths take the lead after the break. >dry< on the flip spreads a darker atmosphere with straight up textured cuts and acid reduced elements. synth stabs, a dry bassline and a manic melody sequence characterise the track and start to erupt after the middlepart and tighten the tension

first techno output by this collaboration between mario masullo, already known for his records on defrag and for his collaboration with g man, and maurizio martusciello, one of the pioneer and key figure in the italian electronic scene. woy out lines is a melting pot between different styles with an ear to the past and an eye on the future. on the a side a stylish minimal tune that present a solid, sophisticated groove with 303 pattern interaction and a melancholic and touching pad that give to this track a special taste that reject the abused micro techno trend. on the flip side dogon, here the 303 pattern is the body and the front of the track, the bass line is mind blowing and evolves floating during the whole arrangement, tribal voices, percussions and distorted synths to complete this energetic tune. m203 is a futuristic detroish track where the machines meet the softwares techniques to create an hybrid sound, the bass line is preminent but is well mixed with a lot of small details and concrete sounds. overall woy out lines is an eclectic and tasteful record
