gui boratto keeps on giving with these three brand new tunes - a true statement of the tremendous talent he continues to bring to kompakt. he bumps up the bass adds a vocal chorus and teleports the original into a new stratosphere. telecaster is a dark and deep floor leveller. the glam is a rocket - elemental percussions play with a low end synth ride that rolls with a menacing delivery but certain to lay devastation on any dance floor.

vaquero is a remarkable deep, dubbed out piece of techno soaked in spaced out sounds, uncompromising and authentic - a glamorous piece of techno. drenched in that analogue and drugged out feeling a real jewel of a track where catchiness meets the abstract end of electronic dance music.

the lead single from the forthcoming debut album from crosstown rebels new leading lady, deniz kurtel, starts the year on a high, with the energising >yeah< featuring guest of nature, complete with remixes from jamie jones.>yeah< is the record that makes your hairs stand on end, the track that you remember from the night, effortlessly anthemic in its delivery.

7inch-vinylsingle vom zweiten album des isl?ndischen indie-folk-kollektivs.aus einem soloprojekt des isl?ndisches s?ngers und gitarristen sindri mar sigfusson entwickelte sich seabear seit dem 2007er-deb?talbum >the ghost that carried us away< zu einem siebenk«pfigen kollektiv. die erste single von seabears zweitem, 2010 erschienenen album >we built a fire< hat wie jede gute 7inch-vinylsingle zwei songs: w?hrend >lion face boy< die st?rken des klassischen seabear-indie-folk-songs neu aufgreift, ?berrascht der zweite song >cold summer< mit einer intensiven und ergreifenden ballade und einer abkehr von dem radikal naiven songwriting, f?r das die band bislang bekannt war.

on his new album, pantha du prince, who lives in berlin and paris, claims: music slumbers in all matter, any sound, even silence, is already music. the mission, then, must be to render audible what is unheard and unheard of: black noise, a frequency that is inaudible to man. black noise often presages natural disasters, earthquakes or floods, only some animals perceive this calm before the storm. black noise is something archaic and earthy. the music on black noise balances precariously on the slippery threshold between art and nature, between techno and folklore, which lends it a certain spectral and intangible aspect. black noise also features a couple of special guests - noah lennox of animal collective sings on >stick to my side< and tyler pope of !!! and lcd soundsystem plays bass on >the splendour<.

fresh 2010 repress !! historia y violencia is a new project exploring the hispanic roots of santiago salazar (dj s2) and j. mendez (silent servant). both producers dissect their latin upbringings as a cinematic theme to create snapshots of the day-to-day blood and sweat that has shaped them as individuals. the sound takes cue from detroit, berlin and chicago to create classic, deep dancefloor tracks. santiago salazar started djing in the early 90s inspired by mix tapes his brother was bringing back from the gay underground scene in los angeles. his style has always been a mixture of house and techno. after moving to detroit, santiago began his music training with mike banks, label founder of underground resistance. he is also half of the duo ican (ican productions / planet e) who have been responsible for some killer techno releases. the central american born j. mendez cut his teeth as jasper in the late 90s/early 2000s, running the california-based cytrax label. a veteran dj from the age of 16, he has performed worldwide in clubs from berlin to osaka. along with technical wizards kit clayton and sutekh, he helped shed light on the small but influential minimal techno scene on the west coast. a chance meeting with karl oconnor in 1999 established a friendship that would later open the door to the sandwell district label in 2006. silent servants sound is a reinterpretation of early 80s post-punk electronics, paired with the deep, metallic sounds of basic channel and downwards.

fresh 2010 repress !! maybe silent servant (aka john mendez) has been at the coloured sweeties and fizzy pop, as the two tracks for >negative fascinations< are decidedly more upbeat than offerings on his previous three sandwell district releases, or indeed his own historia y violencia label. that s not to say that they are exactly cheery though - the string-like drones of >discipline< will doubtless send a shiver up the spine of many a raver - but >demonstration< certainly ups the tempo by a notch or two compared to the much deeper flavours that we have become accustomed to. an accomplished enhancement of his production, whilst remaining true to his trademark textured sound...

fresh 2010 repress !! two more deep but slamming techno cuts from this enigmatic duo. silent servant has definitely been picking up the pace of late, his recent release on techno-label-of-the-moment sandwell district showed a definite progression both in terms of style & >hardness<, and here >la noche < - a throbbing beast of a track - continues that progression. santiago salazar, fresh from a superb release on macromedia, pulls more atmospheric tricks out of the bag, but doesn t forget the dancefloor. cool shit, no doubt!

great new release on the deep house label that keeps on building up and up and up. already acclaimed release by those lucky enough to have already recieved a digital promo. including original version as well as master h. remix. definitely lurking towards the old skool masters as ron and chez...

as summertime comes, exprezoo records squeezes out the best of its crew for a fresh release: youll probably remember george kranzs >din daa daa< (trommeltanz)... this is just a modern reinterpretation by the exprezoo guys that comes to life through a bootleg vinyl with a very limited 100 copies.
the first mix by alexxei n nig, is a dancefloor killing reconstruction of the beatline, keeping most of the original voices. the 2nd one by decoside, takes you directly under the sunrise with a deep soulful synthline and a fine jazzy groove. the 3rd one by quike is a very well working tool keeping the central voice to introduce a pumping reprise

hailing from israel but now based in berlin, ofrin fastly gained more and more fame over the last few years, especially in germany. they preset a unique sound of avantgarde pop that easily combines with nostalgia and modernism, fuelled by the beautiful voice of singer ofri brin and her perfect musical match: composer kd. the how come track was featured on their most recent (2008) album titled on shore remain. we are very proud to present a fine pack of electronic music remixes, done by daso, phonique, tigerskin and tundra, and we even added two edits for radio usage

mike dehnert delivers with this 12 on his own fachwerk label. after the stir of his limited md2 release another piece of black wax with some heavy deep bass driven techno tools. 3 powerfull overwhelming tracks that are still subtile and classy. 3 tracks that slowly push the bounderies of techno rooted in the berlin traditions mixed with some detroit flavor. especially the b track is a true killer with 90s style open off beat 909 hi-hats and great tension. wont be in stock forever... dont sleep!

following up the dancefloor smasher that was i thought inside out, deadmau5 and chris lake join forces once again to bring you i said. the original mix is all about the killer, heads down groove, dirty tom led drums provide a perfect base for the jittery percussion, deep bass and bleeping synths, which all push into breakdown of epic proportions. michael woods returns to mau5trap after smashing his remix of the might strobe

hot from his immensely popular jungle laps track on john digweeds bedrock 11 lp, marco bailey is about to cause a major commotion with this stunning new 4-track ep. watch out! as the man says... its a burning, all consuming drive that can only be calmed down by getting into the music.

toolbox is gideons third album, in the line of many to come. although the minimal hype has surpassed this is minimalism from a techno point of view. no bullshit sounds, just straight up minimalistic techno grooves. inspired by guys like richie hawtin and robert hood, gideon has twisted this knowledge into something of his own. very different from his last album on kanzleramt called >need no permission<, this album focuses on tool tracks. and that is off course the title explanation. toolbox is an 8 track album in the line of gideon his first minimalplus release trias politica. 8 pure danceable tool tracks that a fit for any techno minded dance floor. toolbox will be released on 2 separate 12 inch records minimalplus 010 and minimalplus 011 each containing 4 songs.

support by luciano, reboot, sebo k, raresh, nuick curly.... chris carrier, one of the most respected names of the french underground house scene for more than 10 years, delivers his debut ep for off recordings. la fabourienne is the kind of peaktime tracks that you know and love off for, jacking grooves, a strong bassline and an infectious saxophone theme will turn your dancefloor upside down – guaranteed! jeudi is a completely different affair – a laidback sparse groove, garnered with 100% self-played live instruments and percussions show carriers deeper side, making this outstanding piece of music the deepest and most musical track released on off so far. william kouam djoko, one of biggest fresh talents of amsterdams ever-growing house scene, delivers a unique interpretation of jeudi for his friend and house-hero mr. carrier, straightening the deep original into a twisted techno-jazz-experience for the feet and the heart in two interpretations: the vinyls perky mix is more aimed at the dancefloor, while the trippy aftermath mix is perfect for afterhours. the ep is finished by cycles gladiator, a deep and timeless housetool typical for mr. carrier, perfect for the earlier or later hours of the night

after appearances in numerous end-of-year charts, raffertie continues to meddle with the dna of uk dance music on two ready made anthems. the more ballistic side of rafferties oeuvre is shown on the blazing >7th dimension< with crushed house beats alloyed to swooping bass wobbles and head searing synths, while the oddly affecting >string theory< should only add to his fanbase with an impressive grasp of bassline dynamics and vintage uk rave atmospherics that doesnt sound like much out there.

mass appeal is a true crowd pleaser with its hypnotic grooves, liquid sound snippets that bubble and steam across sci-fi flutes and sensuous vocals. all culminating in an ebbing flowing marathon of massive appeal. already played by the likes of 2000 and one, gregor tresher, richie hawtin

3 track ep of live show favorites that have been floating around playhouse, planet e and transmat for close to ten years but never released. until now. >mysteries of life<, >injury to the enlightened< and >shambhala<. on +++. strictly limited (300 only, no repress) stamped white labels.

in japanese niwa means garden. the concept of what an album should be is really taken seriously here. with >niwa< what you open your ears and emotions to isnt just another loose bundle of tracks. all the single stories, element by element, are constantly fusing together into a greater whole. this is rippertons world. he draws on all the influences that have journeyed with him as a passionate musician on life’s long and winding road. influences far beyond dark booming warehouse parties abound, and are just as likely to conjure up vivid images of dewy lausanne sunsets. folk tinged downbeat experiments peacefully co-exist with delicious jazz blueprints and sublime ambient soundscapes, sitting in harmony with deeply hypnotic house grooves.

it was only a matter of time. two genre-defining artists together ... pop music and dance musics most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. dj hells >u can dance< is an interpretation of an unreleased bryan ferry song, but its one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.
hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of >teufelswerk<, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. one that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as siberia, opening up the cannes film festival ... basically just being bryan ferry.
and now here they are together ... it all started in 2006 when hell dropped in to meet ferry at his west london studio. at first they discussed hell remixing an old roxy music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (u can dance).
they had similar impressions of one another — hell: >i was impressed by his aura and his look.<, ferry: >he impressed us with his sophistication and charm.< fast forward a few years later, and hell is hard at work on teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the aforementioned song titled >u can dance<, a serpentine moroder-esque disco burner. with the help of old friend peter kruder, of kruder and dorfmeister fame, hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc set, in which ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.
ferry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but hes been going to clubs since he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career hes worked with legends such as nile rodgers of chic and david williams from michael jacksons band. >its always a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove.<
the single follows in the wake of hells >the dj feat. p. diddy< which has won over floors and critics alike with its nearly 30-minute radio slave remix and fine work from the likes of deetron, jay haze and others. on >u can dance< hell and ferry have similarly pulled out all the stops for the remixes, gathering up work from the grammy-nominated producer carl craig, dfa mainstay tim goldsworthy and pop electro superstars simian mobile disco.

way ahead of its time and quite incredible to imagine such a modern sounding record could have been made so many years ago... this cult new wave/dance cover of the doors classic was taken off the first of the two long players that la synth band moebius (not to be confused with german electronic maestro... dieter moebius of cluster and harmonia fame ) released on moonwind records, 1979-1980.

sometimes a loop is more than a loop. patterns that appear repetitive arent that repetitive if you take a close listen. adding lopazzs voice to this epic track is the ingredient that injects that next level of energy, the mystic touch, the it. that voice seems to dance with and around the music. and with every twist, the listener is drawn deeper into mr raoul ks world build of warm bass and cautious beats. a place in which someone would easily get lost if there wasnt the voice to lead him throughout the long journey...

the second half of the great lengths remixes package offers 3 more vividly contrasting interpretations of album tracks. almost a year on from the release of his debut album >one< and with >saviour of techno< plaudits still bouncing off concrete walls, berghain lynchpin ben klock turns in a remix of is this insanity that distills everything inspirational about both the club and city he calls home. spaceapes cracked vocal is welded to a sort of cavernous piston driven groove while traces of the originals melody fractured into the briefest of shards fight their way to the surface only to sink back into the percussive smog. located well outside of the heavily scrutinised uk hype centres, manchesters rising star illum sphere continues to hone his already distinct sound on the flipsides brilliant orange reworking. a clanking off kilter groove rubs up against an extended mutation of the original melody that pushes the track towards a poignant climax, evoking all the ache of reaching for the stars and landing squarely on ones face.

mind-blowing singles, eps, remixes (for the likes of simian mobile disco, little boots, royksopp, lykke li, au revoir simone…), a quickly-growing label (fondation records), and the night is his in most of the worlds major cities: danton eeprom had it all, to the exception of a long-playing record. after making a name for himself with hits like confessions of an english opium-eater, grindhouse or face control, it was time to go off the beaten path and show the way once again. would he go for a fairly logical sweat-ridden dancefloor riot? not precisely. not only. danton would make a revolution of his own, in dandy mode.
three words that will soon be on everyones lips: yes is more. in a cloud of smoke, over a tight booty beat and keys delving deep into thirty years of electronic music, the french londoner sings for good and is all axes out on >thanks for nothing<, making things clear from the very start.

we are so happy to finally release this song by chronic flakes aka alex picone & kay sand already on mixworks and cadenza.. this track really represents our philosophy of dance music: extremely forward thinking boogie tech house with strong and powerful 909 drum machine sounds, sensual, jokey and funny vocals, an essential dry feeling filled up of chicagoish memories, so complete and rich of elements that makes it more than a common track, it is really for the girls, no music for techno machos, for us, just innovative and properly coooool stuff... and, being not selfish, we dropped also two other gems by our chronic mates... >easy cure< is a stunning, ethereal and bouncey oldschool/newyorkish deephouse track with a solid groove in the vein of kenny dope and early strictly rhythm, while >output< is a trippy technoid bomb for the likes of hardwax fans and dimbimans >vibration of v< addicts... what more were you looking for? have a listen baby ...

support: steve bug, jay haze, someone else, mark henning, matt star, pan pot, agaric, jason emsley!!! 2009 has been an extremely busy year for billy dalessandro. on top of having recently relocated from his hometown of chicago to montreal, the year has marked his most engaging yet in terms of gigging and musical output. along with a successful three-month european tour, billy released a string of highly acclaimed singles, and his latest artist album (not to mention his growing catalog under the huge hephner and tyrone aliases). however, it should come as no surprise that the producer has saved the best for last.
>strombooty< (for details, consult your local urban dictionary) is the modern dalessandro sound, combining heady experimentation with dance floor prowess. the eps title track is a deep, yet explosive number that creeps in subtly like dark clouds on the horizon, before raining down a devastating thunderstorm over the speakers.
the latin-flavored >el tapatio< and super-deep cut >speak to me< make up the b-side. although the tracks represent different aspects of the dalessandro sound, the commonality they share is a thoughtful approach to dance music that much of the formulaic output these days lacks.

okains dj career kicked off back in 1999, when at the tender age of 15 he began spinning regularly at parties. influenced by french legend laurent garnier, it wasnt long before he was offered his first residency. since then, he has gone on to play at the hottest of paris nightspots, including the rex club and social club. through playing at the now famous dimuschi parties he teamed up with paul ritch. after some time studying in sound engineering, the pair released their first ep under their handycraft alias on kickboxer. since the success of that >le bal masque< ep, okain has gone on to release on labels including robotronic, bpitch control, four twenty, tsuba, quartz and of course jetaime, and has been fully blooded in the art of touring. gigs have flooded in, and his travels have seen play many of europe s finest nightspots. his >blackrock< ep on quartz earlier this year found fantastic success with so many of you, and today our good friend is back, with the awesome >acrobat<.
the original sees okain take the warm, techy path. a lo-slung groove leads us into the melodic strings. matched with sharp efx, strong beats and a demonic laugh, this is a sure fire winner. first on remix duty is label head alex dee. toughening proceedings, alex creates a driving, somewhat tribal work out. relentless beats work brilliantly with the now chopped vocal, to create dramatic tension that builds to a crescendo in the break. a fantastic mix. a great package already, and one that just got even better with the edition of daniel mehlharts incredible rework. the frankfurt producer is hot property right now, and this mix showcases perfectly just why. deep, warm and moody, with huge helpings of classic detroit touches, the originals strings are accompanied by weighty synth stabs, to stunning effect. essential.

luis flores enters the world of hidden agenda. once home to just productions from label boss dietrich schoenemann and tony rohr, the label has added the likes of misc, shokh+star, bau and metalogic. veteran of mexicos techno scene and years of pushing innovating and non-conforming concepts, luis has developed his own production style that is precise and hypnotic with a healthy degree of dance floor groove. his first release on droid recordings was enthusiastically lauded and in put into heavy rotation by the likes of chris liebing and speedy j. already he is gaining momentum with interest from dj heavyweights and international tours in europe, china, the u.s. and elsewhere.

classic chicago house tracks with vocalist paris brightledge (who had a huge hit on dj international records in the 80s). pure house xtc with vocals that sometimes reminds us of romanthony! orginal versions as vocal and instr mix and a blazin remixes by wayne gardiner and tomson & benedict! essential release for those who are into the prescription sound (ron trent) and romanthony. warning... only very limited supplies... tip!!!
