streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

canadas answer to the mamas and the papas

timmy regisford house take on this all time soul classic

williams is back with a brand new 12inch for get physical, el baile. the lead track immediately enthrals with its galloping kick, snare and analogue bass pattern, before a typically williams-eque, fat but understated electro motif, phased chords and crisp percussion edits propel it onwards into the heart of the dancefloor. >the unbearable truth< is a thrillingly modern, moody take on the straight-up acid track. a devastatingly simple, bending acid line lies at the heart of the track, but its the way the uncompromisingly linear beat and one-note bassline play off it that really makes this track fly. house music to get lost inside. >kiss of life< sounds every bit as vital and reviving as its title implies. its beauty lies in the intricate and expressive interplay of synths: beginning with a lowslung melodic motif, a more nimble, staccato bassline emerges, before the deep, kosmische-style chords arrive ahead of a powerful breakdown into heads-down techhouse strut.

avocado # 1 was the secrect weapon in dc 10 last summer! big with: ame, matthias tanzmann, tanja volcano, steve bug,…!! #2 comes even stronger ! a: peter pan: following up from the immense track >elephant<, >peter pan< does not betray rune and sydenhams tough deep tech sensibilities. grinding along, this track blurs the boundaries between tech- house and techno. b: snow bored: >snow bored< is a deep and sophisticated piece of tech effervescence clearly demonstrating the serious approach sydenham and rune take in their search of new techno pastures.

the second freak n chic release of 2008 brings the premier release from long-time fnc dj collaborator dyed soundorom. 01 >question< lays down a dubby slow-moving groove from the start, as the grooves pick up the questions land, letting the pace take you up and bring you down to the deep-grooved finish. 02 >infection< instantly creates a deep and dubby late-night vibe that holds back the pace and keeps the funk grooving. support coming from.. claude vonstroke, ali schwarz, anja schneider, damian lazarus, kiki, sebo k, shonky, shinedoe, camea, chloé, jennfier cardini, todd bodine, benno blome, anthony collins, jamie jones.

ealier support by chloe, giles smith and karotte. maik loewen was already infected by musiccalitis in early years. and there was also his increasing fascination for beats. it did not take long till he started playing the drums and synthesizer. with the tb 303 being one of his first instruments he immediately became addicted to electronic sounds and became quite skilled in using these new devices in his own productions. during his apprenticeship at the recording studios he produced his first tracks. at the same time he started his collaboration with oliver hacke and gabriel ananda. they supported him to get his first record deals. following his first releases on tonsport >arnika ep<, karmarouge >mezcal ep< and trapez >one year one month< and remix projects for walter dahn und jorge gebauhr, his latest ep on poikerflat >even if you sleep<, maik finally appears on karmarouge: the >backcountry camping ep<. his deep understanding for functional sounds and extremly pumping beats, combined with the right mixture of genius and insanity, enables mike to playfully produce upfront club-compatible music. >i dont like musical restrictions, what counts is the feeling of the moment, expressed in acoustic waves<. a perfect mixture that metamorphoses the dancefloor into a seething gladiators arena and wich become one of this genius minimal techno anthems who seems to fly higher more and more. not to forget the huge portion of groovy funkiness. the three tracks on the ep nicely explore different nuances of maik loewens present sound

funky hipshaking housemonster-mashup that will take the floors by storm!

another bomb that will definitely not make it through airport security undetected. explosive kicks serenade a nasty acid line over a signature dalessandro-style vocal. this peak timer is no holds barred techno armageddon. new york based clink rec artist elon makes his debut appearance for the siteholder team with a storming remix. twisted effects, a unique take on the vocal, and a pulsating bass line define this hard-hitting approach. fearless in its pursuit and certainly without any room for prisoners, this re-working of >are you there< comes out of the gate sprinting and never lets down. another successful new york-chicago connection has been made. rounding out the ep, brian ffar follows up his highly successful >ballroom hustler< ep with a take on the single reflecting his cultivated production style. an atmospheric tech house approach reveals well-placed synths over the drawn out vocal from the original. but dont assume this is child s play, ffars kick drum isnt afraid to pummel a club systems subs. the avalanche inducing bass line that follows caps off this fifth siteholder record with a very clear message: >are you there< is serious business

jedesmal wenn einer im büro diese platte auflegt, frage ich: >was ist denn das nochmal ? ist ja total geil.< die antwort steht schon oben und heisst sascha funke - mango !!

this is the second release on erol alkan and dan staceys phantasy sound label, after the debut release - la priests >engine<. this limited 12inch is debut single from primary 1 aka joe flory, who makes the kind of sleazy electronic pop that will have pharrell looking over his shoulder. crammed full of punchy guitar riffs, heavy kick drums and with distinctive falsetto vocals - this is 21st century disco for the ipod generation, a fresh and unique take on a classic sound, also includes remixes from future french talent in the shape of yuksek and the shoes, yukseks effort is aimed squarely at the dancefloor jugular, whereas the shoes have gone for a more understated punk funk approach - all cowbells and throwback synths, plus a handy yuksek dub is included for those of you who prefer less vocals

death is nothing to fear 3 is the third installment of spectral sounds compilation series, focused on bringing forward new voices in the world of techno. brought together by an equally brash and nuanced take on tonal manipulation, the four artists presented here - finlands sami koivikko, berlin- by - way - of detroits seth troxler, chicagos kate simko and ann arbors 2am/fm (james t. cotton and d marc cantu) - contribute a vast yet tightly controlled understanding of the compilations theme. what unfolds is a tough and modern ride through international techno and house.

one of the stand out tracks from osunlades excellent artist album elelments beyond from early 2007 hits the shelves with a plethora of remixes from dj gregory, deetron and manoo stella. dj gregory does what he does best, building and layering tribal rhythms with techy beats with a touch of off key xylophone action thrown in for good measure. the manoo stella mix starts deep before big pads and synths take it in a near progressive direction, while deetron strips things right back and does away with most of the vocal for a pounding house rhythm perfect for the late night clubs. a great track made better by a set of slick remixes makes this a promising start to 2008 for strictly rhythm and osunlade.

the tracks from the recently released full length of nublu orchestra beg for remixes, and the underground resistance militiamen take up the task for sketches of nyc. the i 80 mix is a big thumper, using a scatted vocal line and dissonant horn hits from the original to add drama to the build of an acid bassline and some tastefully tribal drums. the seventh tunnel mix falls squarely in the tech jazz genre that was essentially invented by the detroit collective. the original elements of sketches are used generously, with what seems like a grace note on the upright being turned into a looped bassline, over which the lead vocals and saxophone ping back and forth. must have!!

remixed by whitenoise, knightlife & zzz last time i wrote about the bag raiders fun punch i went on some rant about me being in ibiza, on the floor in the main room at pacha, listening to erick more morillo play filtered french house, i had my hand s the air, the lasers were in full effect, the italian girls were looking fine and my ecstasy was working overtime. i declared that it would of been the best song of the nite, a song so great that you would of bathed in ericks sweat and wouldn t feel at all weird about it at all. now after caning this every set all over the world in the last 6 months i take it back. all of it
