souvenir records!!! lets just start this introduction with a quote: >we like the idea of seeing music as a souvenir, an impression you take from somewhere. something intimate to remember<. this is how the brothers schwarz aka tiefschwarz set the agenda for souvenir music, which they created with their french companion arthur velasquez and thus finally set up their own imprint after an eventful decade in the musicbiz. even just a quick listing of mighty deeds in the underground dance community would fill up page after page. if the story of king midas wasn t already centuries old, someone would have made it up now to describe the phenomenon of recent tiefschwarz remixes. who would serioulsy doubt that their golden touch also will rub on their own label and turn this start-up into another stellar success? cooked up in their berlin the first course >hey< by the artist ichundu is set to become the flavour of the month, even more so with extra delicious ingredients tiefschwarz added to their remix. yummy !! played by sven väth, sasse, chloe, tobi neumann, karotte...

eveybody s gay... suggests however a musical idea that could not be simpler, a kind of atonal electronic blues with a recurring motif. yet, everything hinges on keyboards riffs and song rendering which allow d.i.p to bowl us over exultantly. if everybody s gay... is playing on self-restraint, on the b-side perfect day launches a head-on attack on the dancefloor with overworked disco-techno-rock intentions…and, present as always, those acid-electro-gut-wrenching tones. we can also notice that florian s personality shines out in broad daylight, as if it was possible, amazingly playing on voices. seducing and convincing. everybody is definitely ok: if a second ep is always a decisive test for a producer, d.i.p. compels recognition on the popular credibility form. moreover those little brats take advantage of the opportunity to sign right through the sheet

main vocal mix already a favourite of greg gauthier, the original by di pascali mixes fender rhodes and soaring strings with elements of funk and a killer baseline. coupled with the incredibly strong and sensual vocals of the talented laïa, the effect is guaranteed to take your breath away!rks dub version dj rorks take on the song is strong on keyboards, with a catchy vocal hook that will keep you going from the start right to the end of the track. definitely to be played to death.support by didier sinclair in love of breathe to fly, amnaye, léo cuenca, yass, greg gauthier, dj rork

underworld strike back & who better to take the helm on remix duties than the king of the alternate groove paul woolford. he delivers two dance floor friendly, quirky, bumping electro mixes. this also contains the underworld riverun breaks-style version that sounds ultimately dirty, grubby & altogether fresh

nice price deal !!! one of the strongest sinister releases to date. deep, phat, bottom end booty shakin nonsense with some twisted electronica madness riding the ridums. pounding beats, glorious riff action and stuttered vocal edits all embrace in perfect production harmony that collectively make an essential dancefloor purchase.spectrometer on the flip sees the beats sharpen up and the dynamics take on a techbreaks formula.spectrometer drives harsher forever building the acidic layers. atmospherics fill the drop out before a solid wall off full force tech frequencies launches skyward maximising dancefloor obliteration.

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

with this release on drumpoet he presents kadena,a track which already acclaimed much attention by the likes of âme and dixon and creates a fresh symbiosis between disco and detroit. an emotional and bootyshaking tune which can take you higher and make you want to move it. on secret playground he goes into the more dubby side of this ep and provides a deep minimal excursion with a warm and almost cinematic feel. lexx is a musiclover so his spectrum is huge, but all we can say is, that this man knows what he does and there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it

the sixth sequel in the traffic signs series convinces once again with its special signature sound. dry, acid-driven, stripped down but featuring enthusiastic structures and well-chosen sounds, this is what traffic sounds is all about.>coming down< on the a-side is a lively acid-packed track. opening and closing filters, delays and loads of nice effects make this a more than useful peak time weapon! >back on crack< on the flip brings a heavy dose of pushing chords, fizzing open hi-hats and cracking snares all around. don t take the track s title too seriously!

archipels brand new sublabel brings you its second weirded out slab of wax with uli kunkels singing with rod. uli kunkel,however,is not one single artist. it is comprised of lee curtiss, maayan nidam (miss fitz) and shaun reeves.the record starts off with leethophobia which is an hypnotic breaks like piece of dark insanity laced drughouse very much inspired by the perlonian sounds which have been coming from germany as of late.drugpigs is fat, wobbly, and just as hypnotising as leethophobia and commands that the freaks come out to dance from the shadows of strange early morning corridoors.the flip takes a more direct approach and is fiercely lead by arrival which is an hypnotic take on dancefloor drive influenced tracks and is laced with clever edits and lysergic percussion.sing like rod is a totally weirded out and just as lysergic early morning rhythmic smoothy. kalimari is set to release quality weirdness and here it stands tall from the rest.

the ultimates are freddie cruger, linn and her brother stefan on vox and multi instrumentalist salem. on their first outing on freddies homegrown they take cherells classic saturday love from 1985 and turn it in to a nusoul celebration of a 24/7 love affair
