in 2002, carl craig was at the centre of a collaboration between some of detroits most talented musicians old and new, including motown session players percy hughes and ron otis - the result of which was the spellbinding detroit experiment. one of the highlights of this session was their re-interpretation of donald byrd and larry mizells classic think twice, which was transformed into a sublime and unique jazz-house hybrid by this disparate ensemble of techno and r&b heavyweights. to continue the theme laid down by the detroit experiment, we have enlisted the skills of the multi-talented henrik schwarz - no stranger to fusing musical styles. his amazing remix effortlessly combines organic and electronic elements, to create a stirring piece of modern electronic dance music which has already taken the roof off parties across europe and the us, with pre-release plays from djs as diverse as ame, giles smith, justin martin, dixon and kev beadle.

ultraphat raw and hardish dirty acid / techno... record 1 = unreleased tracks, record 2 = repressd classics

killer hypnotic techhouse / techno!!

fine arranged melodies from multiple sound sources, as stated in his biography, are the building blocks of which daniel mehlhart considers to be the essence of good music. putting what he preaches into practice has affirmed the 22-year-old swiss born, frankfurt am main resident, as one of the most exciting new talents in the underground tech-house movement. his most acclaimed release was the harp-tinged origami, released last summer on kindisch, which catapulted him into the record bags and charts of a slew of seasoned djs during the end of last summer. >scharade< is an example of young daniel sticking to what he does best, mixing and blending techno. atmospheres and sonic images while still animating an organic and natural vibe over the tracks. liberal amounts of percussion and a middle eastern or asian vocal dramatically pitched this tune beyond recognition watermark with a style and a vibe that he has helped to advance. the house roots of >distracted conscience< are present right from the onset. using a double pump kick to inject a pinch more of energy into the already flourishing habitat of off-kilter and spooky sound effects. so many in fact it is easy to see how he came up with the name, >distracted conscience<, as there are more effects floating around in this track than thoughts in the head of an 8-year-old who forgot his daily dose of ritalin. he turns to an ethnic vocal on >alura< again, but keeping the overall mood of this outing a bit deeper. he pulls out even more percussion instruments including extra shakers, toms and bongos all marching along harmoniously. this is a head down, hands-up, side-to-side bopper that just keeps quietly elevating as subtle elements are added and subtracted throughout the duration of the tune. a coherent composition and dj tool all in one. although this is his second release there are no signs of a sophomore slump anywhere in site, as daniel mehlharts talent lies in his unique, but subtle ability to gel different eleme

after the incredible first hardmunich release animal kingdom - he strikes back with some great tracks. hard techno meets oktoberfest!! great!!

bangin underground uk techno !!!

already supported by johnny d., someone else, laurent garnier, jennifer cardini, florian meindl, david keno.. erich lesovsky is the newest addition to stil vor talents exciting artist roster. here comes someone who is totally fascinated and absorbed by technology, someone who only performs as a live act in the clubs and - in the time of digital machinery - still works on constructing his own devices to make music with. after singles for wba and keno records, it is now the time for his first release on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent imprint and mr. lesovsky is very happy to be part of the family. so are we, of course! not only, but also because his first ep is a killer display of musical wizardry. it stars off with >bell a donna<, a minimal funk-laden piece of music that is mainly based on some crisp beats, many warm effects and sounds and a melody so simple, yet so encapsulating to capture the heart of every dancer in the club. this is oldskool minimal funk at its best! next up is >93 percent<, a title that might be misleading at first, because this track sounds more like 150 percent really. a great loop made of fidgety techno hi-hats and some wonderful warm analogue sounds - this could well be termed a new form of fidget techno. last up is >riot beatz<, an experimental display of minimal sound design, yet still very danceable. lots of crystal bashing beats, a pumping bass and many little effects - this will definitely be one for the dancefloor in the morning hours. not only does e. lesovsky seem a master of sound, his expertise seems to cover the perfect creation of warm, yet basic tech anthems and his influences seem to come from all sorts of musical directions, from hip-hop to funk to house back to techno. it is the easiness with which he delivers his music that makes his sound designs so special!

after 2 successful eps and massive remixes for metronomy and whomadewho its now time for more discodeine vinyl action. this third ep called tom select is definitly dedicated to the dancefloor... frankly, the track speaks for itself but if you need some influences lets say smith n hack/lfo/frankie bones... but you should know by now that discodeine is only sounding like discodeine right? the remixes are provided by some people that we admire for a long time: la horse (danton eeprom & ivan smagghe) and joakim. la horse provided a trippy remix, with live drums, electronic wizzardy and insanely beautiful pop harmonies while joakim is more on that nasty techno vibe we all love.

michael forzzas is one of the most important techno djs from belgium. like figure head len faki, michael forzzas speciality is to play extended sets which develop an individual athmosphere. figure 015 is forzzas first international release, and forzza sent two unique tracks to berlin, the tenor & the monkey is destined to turn the dancefloor into a frenzy. it puts you in a state of fear and euphoria at the same time. while the tenor & the monkey puts the roof of every club on fire, high on this is more cautious. the powerful groove unfolds its energy in many contexts. the pulse of the track immediate, it feels like the music is talking to each dancer personally. the tenor & the monkey and high on this don t show any effort, yet the tracks rule over the dancefloor: they both manage to focus on the essence of club music, a rarely achieved task these days.

the cologne based grossprojekt arose in 2006 from the rather coincidental neigbourship and clubbing friendship between techno dj and live act bastian bue?r and breakbeat producer alex cwicek. the year 2008 marks the end of their deliberate reluctance: their debut release on debox combines the different roots of the two artists to a new creative entity, resulting in an amazingly effective piece of techno in querschlaeger. raumkruemmung on the flipside works a bit like its own, streamlined transmission onto a straight bassdrum monotonous, raw and uncompromising.

a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented

alec is one of the most-promising acts from east germany at the moment with a very own unique style crossing reduced techno with epic and mystical influences. his debut single >passengers< on etui records brought him very good support from various key-djs like karotte and his last ep >sub aquers< on ipoly music is dreamy grooving the clubs at present, played by laurent garnier etc. >orville< is matching with a teeting drive and its beautiful spheres while alex carbo puts the theme into a powerful minimalistic remix. >not in violet< is a well freaky dancefloor track with some vocoded voices
