played by: martinez, 2000 and one,tadeo, stare5, jeff samuel, karotte, matt star, x-pansul. cray1labworks have arrived to their tenth release. to celebrate, they have chosen none other than the copenhagen based theodor zox. thick, liquid bases spread over theodor zoxs >whats in a number<. the blips and crackles playfully dance around the base line while the main melody slowly comes into shape, creating a delicious danceable song strolling between minimal and sweet old school techno touches, following the path that cray1labworks have always laid. the volatile sound of >whats in a number< is overshadowed by the strong, mysterious, seductive synths of the minimal tech >feed me lies<. a song thatll make the ladies sway their hips on the dancefloor

born and raised in tokyo, living in berlin since may 2007, akiko kiyama presents on neo010 two wonderful minimal- tracks, synthetic, acrylic, rough and raw, sober and straight, shy and yet damn clubby. akiko - whose delicately reduced musical style is partly defined by some earlier 12 inch releases on m-nus creates a fragile and surprising cosmos of subtle rhythmical structures and wobbling guttural waveforms, all this combined with this very special female approach that people all around the globe seem to love more and more. for those who like it a little bit less minimal, there are two remixes included. we have one by humantronic, the minitech (or tech?) berserk from france, who re-establishes an industrially strict balance of pumping and knitting sounds, with almost trancy elements good and healthy food for the club community

producer holger behn aka h.o.s.h. is back on stil vor talent with his third release and second 12 inch on oliver koletzkis imprint. his latest two tracks are all about house music, while always keeping a strict eye on the dancefloor. it starts with the tech-house anthem >grünanlage<, the name of a sunday afternoon open air in h.o.s.h.s hometown hamburg that he co-organises. the tune features a great clappy snare and some wonderful balearic guitar melodies, which swing over the fast loop. this tune is going to put a smile on your face wherever you are. on the flip there is >blaupause<, which translates as blueprint and is a dreamy housy pusher that keeps grooving with its synthie-stabs and warm bassline. later in the track h.o.s.h. adds an oldschool piano that pushes the track into another state with its drifting melody. it reminds us of so very many great rave moments. however, h.o.s.h. never gives in to the temptation of drifting off into cheese, stays cool at any given moment and keeps the seal of quality for his music very high. >blaupause< is a wonderful summery teaser that never explodes, but keeps imploding! h.o.s.h. once again does what he does best: delivering two wonderfully melodic tracks that fluctuate perfectly between house and techno. just the way we like it

imagination of the shape draws a new skyline while not abandoning the roots of the city. the tracks this time obviously point towards the future of course a bright one! the mixture of established artists and newcomers declares that plastic city has many great names and artists inside the city limits and nevertheless searches for new flavours, techniques, sounds and people but this time something is really different. all artists mentioned on the double 12inch compilation come up with neverseen creations which all have a new flavour and perfectly fit together. imagination of the shape sounds like science fiction house music something you never heard before. high quality tech house touches new spheres and instantly grabs the listeners attention. approved artists as terry lee brown junior, the timewriter, greg parker, rob pearson, colin dale or eddie richards prepared a row of pleasant surprises as they left the old centre of their city. slightly more minimal but still housy and groovy the tracks are connected to each other as it has always been greatly compiled at plastic city. theres much consideration behind the artists works as well as behind this chapter. imagine the shape imagine the future

compost black label #25 is some kind of premiere, because this is the first remix ep in the whole black label series. the protagonist in this one man play is the bavarian jack of all trades christian prommer in a new staging of wagon cookins start to play. in the past prommer has been co staring in classic performances like trÜby trio, fauna flash and voom:voom. right now he is stirring up waves of enthusiasm with his own drumlesson project on sonar collective and his floorshaking tech jazz meets classic house reinterpretation of koops drum rhythm a. but now draw the curtain and experience prommers play going through a real strong development giving each of the three acts a significant and distinctive character. from the slowly building ecstasy in the main mix and the uplifting joy in the piano scene to the sublime floating and jamming in the closing act he convinces in every role. great deep house theatre!

peter has already graced numerous labels with his unique yet constantly evolving studio style. after numerous afterhour situations with the doc family, we caught wind of grummichs new productions. we believe that the therapy ep continues the development of peters uncompromising underground productions. the title track, therapy, is a nine-minute journey into dancefloor dynamics. slowly building with concentrated breaks, therapy works it out and then some. label boss, aaron hedges, has been giving it heavy dj support and has found that its been quite some time since well placed hat crashes can drive an audience crazy. minimal, sexy and sleek, but at 7 minutes the listener is surprised with a full on new-rave lead which takes the song in a different direction. get it is a nice tech-house track with building percussive patterns and highly concentrated synth breakdowns. this track is only for the most sophisticated house djs that know when to drop a track like this. drymilk is a seriously twisted hard minimal track. nasty sound effects and perplexing pitch shifts will keep you guessing. is it genius or insanity? you be the judge!
