ister smooth steps out with 3 new edits to expand his palette.nightlife unlimited is a classic muzic box favorite, all disco, all the time. the ron hardy version of peaches & prunes appears on muzic box classics volume one, and automan 2. theo parrish used it to create his track mustang 1 which appeared on a ltd white label in 2000. his version of bostich takes a huge swipe at this wbmx classic extending the drum intro into a crowd stoker and encorporating parts of the lp version into the original 12inch mix. guaranteed to stoke some fires in your set. the b side is a 10 minute version of the super rare le cop rock freak, a disco funker thats a deal sealer for those on the edge of snagging this ep

with a riff thats too good to die, nitro deluxe finds its way back on todays dancefloor, via a rather brilliant re spray from julian neopolitana. with chicane also getting more of the same and of course, ruff loaded vol 1 still doing the business everywhere, expect volume 2 to do even greater damage file under large!

the 3 jagged guys come from a different background, but they all love and live quality music for many years already! so the best time they have cooking things up in their studio – and as a result, it sounds like >hello kool nice<. analogue equipment plus the mpc, thats the sound of jagged and quintessentials 02: organic, raw and real! the remixes courtesy of colognes harry swinger & dc (rushhour) with an old school deephouse edit and man of the moment quarion (drumpoet community) with a great summerish uplifting rework are pure dope too. essential

i get deep, i get deep, i get deeper. that should actually read he gets deep. dj roland clark, that is one of the rulers of the sermonizing vocal, roland steps up to the pulpit once again with his latest release, black in my soul, on king street. this man not only has black in his soul but also an excellent sense of humor, including the ability to work it into his productions, and thats something we all have time to appreciate. swedish producer extraordinaire tiger stripes pumps us full of his dark fuel creating an intricate, nicely rhythmic and dancefloor dramatic track. his dub vox retains its deep and dark stature but twist synths rolands voice into a fiendish narrator. west coast producer david hernandez funkifies this tune on his deep west mix but keeps the deepness well intact. say it loud and dance proud!

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! cynosure is proud to present the debut ep of one of italys finest house and techno djs, andrea fiorito. hailing from the southern city of bari, andrea brings new warmth to the otherwise ice cold italian house sound and delivers a timeless deep house original. things commence on >moderato mistico< with a subtle tribute to a close a friend that has some serious issues with partying called >boti world<. a stripped down minimal house groove with several different monster bass hooks. a killer bumping, grinding, walking bassline that heats the floor with every change up. but as we all know this is not enough to really push things to the limit, so andrea answers the call and brings the furry with givan on the sax. imagine that moment where things in your night boil over the edge and you begin to loose control. thats when givans post punk style sax attack begins to push things past the threshold of insanity. next we have the lovely >betty loop< feat the sensual voice amelia saul. a layer of percussion a la spring reverb set the pace leading into some piano chords and a giant bass hook that make up the foundation of the groove, laying the sonic rose pedals down for amelias presence to be heard. with a voice sweeter than honey and some twisted lyrics, she creates a sexy yet warped feeling in this track. and of course if the vocals were too much, you can play the dub version >betty goes to gio< and mix your heart out. with >moderato mystico< andrea fiorito lights the deep minmal house flame for cynosure closing the summer releases in style by producing heat that only a southern italian can. howie mangel

more super crazy mash up bounce booty power from the finnish jet & trend setters! we were discussing about the records we put out and since we play a lot of sweet stuff, not just only the club bangers and rave numbers, so why dont we put some our sweet favourites on a 12? you all remember girlfriend by dj techics? a huge record for us. the new ep is of course entitled sexytime as its got some joints for the ladies (thats what our club night is all about, see it for yourself if you dont believe it). we wanted to put out the secret weapons we play all the time such as bounce camps big dancin and fuck n tell by dj j.laini (whos one the best hip hop djs in finland and a long time associate)

the multitalented robbie taylor dropped this migty piece of musical madness presented on the mighty wasted imprint! a tech house journey, weaving its way into your mind and taking control of your limbs, with a melodic techy groove that builds and builds & finally drops to create total dancefloor insanity!the remix package has been crafted to create perfect reworkings of the original to suit every taste. london based alex celler (cocoon, nrk, buzzin fly, baroque) delivers a deep and bumpy mix that brings an impeccably classy vibe in his inimitable style, with a tech house sound full of grooves, tribal rhythms & relentless energy, he has established his sound well into the 2008 electronica. thats why his productions have been supported constantly by big players such as carl cox, ricardo villalobos, luciano, michel de hey, sven vaeth, dennis ferrer, masters at work, danny tenaglia, pvd, chus & ceballos, laurent garnier and many more!! the package is rounded off with the solar sun remix, a driving take on the original with a hook line that will rotate in your head for hours afterwards!certainly one of the biggest wasted releases so far, already heavily supported by loads of heavyweight djs around the globe...

hey friends, this is going to be a great ride today! slick, red, rocking and housy. today in the box with catz n dogz aka 3 channels, grzegorz demiianczuk and wojciech tranaczuk. and up to now, everybody was deeply impressed by their speedy, red, cool vehicle: from claude van stroke, john tejada or wighnomy brothers. or us! they are really hot and can already choose their favourite international racetrack. but here and now comes a very special floor shaker: outstanding when it comes to style, appearance and acceleration. and extremely funky even at lower speed torque. both pilots promise loads of details, tension and elegance - together with their will to win after a long and exciting home stretch. this is motor sport from another star and should be honoured like it. and it will be honoured, no doubt! sway the banner! award ceremony! champagne, and thats it

yore returns with a true dream team split ep, pairing yore label head andy vaz with sistrum manager patrice scott. vaz is up first with a beautiful slice of old-school funk and soul within a deep house formula, >back to square one< that has a whole lot more in common with isaac hayes and james brown than with juan atkins or any other techno icon. accompanied by a wah-wah guitar figure and claps, a bullet-proof bass line leads a nine-minute charge thats quickly bolstered by a slinkily swinging drum groove. creamy synth chords and blazing horns intermittently spill over the pulsating mix and then vanish, leaving space for the rhythm to intensify and the track to grow ever more euphoric (and even, towards its close, a bit acidy). a true mission into both funk and house, which again showcases vazs ultimate diversity as an outstanding producer. scott titled his second sistrum release beyond deep and the title might just as easily apply to the b-side >aztecal< where the detroit producer slathers shimmering stabs and congealing streams over a thudding kick drum and flickering percussive detail. while vazs cut draws inspiration from the timeless traditions of decades past, scotts looks towards the future when its gleaming shuttle lifts off in pursuit of distant galaxies.

nice price deal !!! kaktus records is back finally with an explosive vinyl! a max of bass and magic melodies, thats the result of the collaboration of these 2 new french artists of the hard dance world. prepare yourself and jump your soul!

if top of the range minimalism with a side order of funk included is what floats your boat then this new ep could well be just the job. the inner and outer space ep follows hot on the heels of the two well received previous releases the hokarangen space project ep and diamondtrack. innocence features the menacing vocals of lucien etori to deliver a minimalist epic, if thats possible. certainly minimalism plus menace equals one damn fine track.

a seriously heavyweight plate from twisted, a member of germanys acclaimed dutty dubz crew. erratic is a grimey monster of a tune, the subtleties of the intro with its pattering bongos and stealthy pads giving no indication of the carnage to come. dropping harder than a ton of bricks, the filthy buzzsaw bass comes swooping in beneath slamming halfstep beats, squirming between the enormous bashy snares and sinister electro riff topline. on the flipside twisted goes a little more leftfield, tapping into the chiptune flavour thats currently permeating the dubstep scene via the likes of rustie and zomby.

this summer mos ferry prod. comes up with a new two-track 12inch by dapayk solo, announcing the release of his second album >devils house< in late september. the title track on side a is already giving directions for this journey – provided that theres a proper bass response – >frickelsound< with affection to the little details, in particular with regards to the bass frequencies. but knowing dapayk thats hardly surprising, by now ... on the b side he presents >a saw attacks< - a track like a recapitulation of certain minimal elements that are around for quite a while now. but only the beginning is a typical sportive staccato theme. after a while a full-stereo sawtooth sound and a demoniac vocal sample take the lead, pushed by a strong punchy kick drum and accompanied by a sounddesign of clicks and sweeps

fast raps , cool minimal beats ! thats hot stylz !!

karolin müller is the first female artist in the hi freaks family and blinky is her long awaited first release. blinky starts with a subversive retro groove, the loop is driven by a flanged hihat and ends up in a funny, funky break, where the theme hits the track and pushes it too the next level. our swedish pac man agaric eats >blinky< alive and gives him a very rough and hypnotic treatment with his remix on the b-side. snake, rattle n roll: the title is just perfect to caracterise this track, imagine a snake winding through a synthesiser modulating itsself over and over again, sounds weired... thats what it is ... a great uncommon halucinating track…

an uplifting record thats equally as strong in its rhythm and drive as it is in its message, melody and harmonies.

hailing from toronto and now residing in berlin by way of brussels. aschka is a rising star on the european music circuit. she makes her us premiere on defchild with two deep and melodic excursions. on remix detail, chicagos kate simko (kupei musika, spectral, peacefrog) delivers an exquisitely evocative downtempo remix of rain, while new yorks stefny (addon, hector works) serves up a mammoth mix thats a playful and jacking reinterpretation of sensoreality.

a1_relaxx, bastien grine is back on scandium with a huge raw and dark ep. relaxx is a mind blowing microtech track with non sense vocals. b1_single barrel attitude. the b side is a darker and even more mental track using weird distorted vocal. thats what french call >le son de la perche<. minimalism at its best!

etched into the run-out groove is the following: can you jump in them bootlegs? tippy hitfactory >ouch thats hot!<

cool summer feeling dj shirt ... thats haiti groove yahh

big with luciano, karotte, laurent garnier , mark broom,... + andre crom & toby deher rmx .. young but very talented - thats mirco violi in 4 words. with releases on be chosen and heimatmelodie the 21 year old italian makes his debut in recordstores around the world. and already his first 2 releases cause a big hy

romance is the first release of the new diecizeromusic label and it represents the debut single for the project fluxx & lola! when you listen to it, even if for the first time, you are fashinated by its fantastic and magic atmosphear, and thats the result of the incredible contamination between the real violinnotes and the techno-trance sounds, that gives the track a unique flavour!!

brand new single from luke solomon and and rekids on limited white labels but its the prins thomas mix thats got us salivating here in the office. its a chuggy monster of a track that ll throw you into nirvana. a beauty!

skinnerbox, thats also two gentelmen, one of them immigrated from a far away country and both living in berlin now. in their boxes theres no devil but there are grandpas old synths, funnily and heavily beeping and bumping beats and basses, joy and fun as in godizllas playroom. and then comes mister humantronic, his remixs, finest tech that will wake up the beast even where no beast was ever before. a record to love and to pamper!

you is a throbbing, hulking monster of a track, a dark and distinctive foray into sound thats already being championed by sander kleinenberg & pete tong. layering strobing, resonating bass with flickering hi hats and insistant synths, the track hurtles out of the speakers with spacey fx and that unsettling, disembodied voice proclaiming you like an other worldly call to arms! german dance legend tom novy heeds that call with a mighty remix, injecting a hip shaking bassline and shaking up the components of the track, amping the sonic intensity to the max & reinventing you in his inimitable style!

playlist: luciano, ricardo, dan curtin, loco dice, raresh.... big, bigger - freiraum....thats the sound of the moment! after big success of freiraum 01 and the current 002- monster, >die vögel gehn zu fuss<, from paddo and his friends, we proudly present the upcoming 3rd genious release. paddo delivers here something very big. you like cadenza ? - youll love >yuhricame<...! take your time - this jounrey is looong! on the b-side we have sis (cecille records, 8 bit). hes release >la garúa< on cecille records brought him into the cases and focus of all big djs worldwide! 2 fantastic track from sis for freiraum003 - thanks!

after an online ep on kitty yo, combination records now releases three new songs by dillon in a timeless classical pop format which i find ideally suited for her: as 7 inch single. ausgabe 11, contact us and on repeat present the spectrum of her possibilities: it has this sensitive cheekiness, it has this aggressive vulnerability, it has the adrenalin beats for kids, and it has some dramatic chords - a great package. and thats only the beginning. we are currently witnessing a rising star!!

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

aeroplane are this years next big thing, thats for sure. after two 12inches during last year that created a stir from lindstrom & prins thomas over mylo and laurent garnier to danny howells, here is their next installment, featuring the wonderful kathy diamond on the vocals. on remix duties we present to you the hottest act of the moment, hercules & love affair, that are receiving high critical acclaim for their debut album on dfa, with of course the incredible single blind. another terrific package brought to you by eskimo!!!

nice price deal !!! art bleek is a name thats been doing the rounds for a few years now. the paris based producer never fails to live up to expectations whether it be deep minimal housers, downtempo jazzed-out loungers, broken beat or straight up hip hop, versatility is the mans game. hes recorded for labels such as rush hour & loungin and now for sick trumpet he brings californian vocalist charlie sputnik along to make the french connection. first up is all night, a mid-tempo nu-jazz shuffler that glides between broken beat and house with a killa groove, walkin bass lines, vocal hooks and scats a plenty from mr sputnik. support already from domu with plays on his 1xtra show zed bias takes the track and turns it into a new jersey house bumper with that added biaspheric twist weve all come to expect - big ! on the flip we have brothers & sisters, an electronic influenced houser with a bassline bigger than the eiffel tower and slicker than platini. with charlie sputnik again on vocals he provides the perfect narrative & melody to this dancefloor smasher ! the dub mix of this is something else…..anyone for dubstep electonica ? check

the second release on this hard techno label presents some of the big upcoming stars in the scene. the record starts of with the intro and track of label owner orman bitch. orman is defenitely on his way to the top with big releases on cannibal, jli, fatallic and more. next on the a-side jason little who is creating a big stir in the scene with the releases on jasons mask! he is known for his ultrahard style and even sneaks a few dirty samples in.. on the flip we find two equally hard productions of dj hamy from hungary and schranzao da santos...

an exceptional ep that goes straight for the jugular on the dancefloor, a release thats set for huge exposure throughout the spring and into summer. destined to become a peaktime favourite for djs and clubbers alike!

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.

after ripping up the rule book once again, the hooligan chaps return with a track thats set to be a classic cut, i dont care which is already becoming a live anthem. on the flip one of germanys electro pioneer tomcraft turns in a low slung work out thats guaranteed to light up many a floor.

sven weisemann who was recently very busy by providing remixes and tracks for the likes of house cafe music, styrax leaves, styrax, liebe*detail, rotary cocktail, freund der familie, progcity deep trax and meanwhile is now coming up with some fresh killer stuff for mojuba the musical place of origin. the a-side kiss of abana is a catchy dancefloor monster with banging percussive drums and trademark weisemann chords. the b-side amity seems to keep it cool in the beginning but thats only the prelude to a funky feast of deepness!

reconstructing essential classic tunes, thats what p series is about, with the sole intention to give some respect and renewed attention to those tunes we will never forget. this is another release that will stir up every dancefloor for sure, like the original versions once did

shrewd, jay west, joshua heath & the candy dealers christian malloni!! probably flavors strongest release to date, with some superb music from some of the industries best new and old, we have carefully hand picked these tracks for the sampler, to make sure there is something on here for every house head out there. and it seems that its getting massive support from every dj we know worldwide...

a track thats been generating some serious heat for a while now becomes the second track of the year to come out on strictly. the original mix is deep house at its very best, with a haunting vocal courtesy of margaret grace while quentins production keeps the track beautifully layered and polished to perfection. but its the harry choo choo romero mix that everyones been talking about, with a peaktime version that builds and builds to a crescendo of big synths and raised hands.

the a side kicks off with the highly anticipated release of party all night from french producers bobby and klein, chanting we gonna party all night over an infectious groove that kicks things off proper! the a2 follows party all night with nashvilles real time hand motion hitting us with their amazing honey tune. all the trademark rthm cuts, edits, and vocal bits come together to deliver a funky analog bassline jam with a really unique dancefloor jam. on the flip, mebourne, australias d t3ch turns in the gorgeously funky meerkat music, a tune thats been killing danceloors and a vocal that puts a smile on everybodys face. not to be missed! and last but not least, label bosses the sound republic deliver a tongue in cheek tribute to jason hodges with a chopped up tracky jam that jacks through rolling pianos, xylophopne backed with a bass bit that is humanly impossible not to dance to. all in all, the 4 piece set ep is kicking off the new year in style!

the title track made a brief appearance last year, garnering spins from the likes of fergie on radio 1. its now primed for full release, retaining its cool stuttering bleeped out hook atop a strident bassline thats designed to make sure no one can physically stand still, whether they want to or not. its also catchy as fuck. mike healey drops a cleaner remix that techs it out some, the first third or so of the track just twitters, phased sounds and hints at whats to come. its 1.00am central trip material until that bass finally implodes. are we alone? is a deeper closing cut, with suitably zoned out vocal samples and more electro tech shenanigans, making for a near essential ep for those who like it dark and trippy.
