a classic bit of space disco from the french scene of the 70s. four long tracks that are all pretty darn moogy, and pretty darn great! the work here would fit nicely with some of the best keyboard heavy club of the us scene at the time! not exactly like some of the work on p&p, or the grooves of el coco over at avi - but not that dissimilar either, and often put together with a spare, simple approach thats a welcome contrast from overblown disco of the time! most numbers build up from a funky bassline and beats - adding in the keyboards with great relish, and really letting them jam and get crazy over the top. theres certainly a bit of cosmic fusion going on here too

played by pete tongs essential selection back in ibiza, shogun has created an excited buzz across the dance community thats about to explode with the release of this killer record! freerange stalwart jimpster delivers a deep and bumpy mix that brings an impeccably classy vibe in his inimitable style, while spanish house king wally lopez turns in an awesome mix that will keep his loyal fans very happy. the package is rounded off with the trusty djembe dub, a driving take on the original with a hook line that will rotate in your head for hours afterwards!

big with: minilogue, dj yellow, luca morris, gregor tresher, davis&may,.. arcobaleni, thats the massive debut single of the talented italian boy spada. hypnotizing bells, sweet melodies and bassline fuse together warmly to create the kind of emotional maripoza stuff everybody loves. as special guest mixer, zakko, who was heavy played by james holden and gregor tresher with his >for her< masterpiece,was in studio to do a deep and melodic interpretation to enjoy…also teatro a devotionful producer created with another point of view for the song a dark, groovy and atmospheric walk

sketch is on a roll with the highly sought after minisketch series. a 10inch concept label with the finest of minimalistic techno sounds. touane is working hard for the past three years and this hard work resulted in high quality releases on labels like persona, liebe detail, trenton and lan music

>be with you< by rogue soul is a big club track thats been getting support from hype, bukem, marky, bryan g, bailey and a host of others. syncopixs >footage< on the other side is more of a homage to the classic bristol/full cycle sound - its all about the bassline.

leopoldo rosas latest killester ep offers a warm, organic vibe in its fusion of electronic and acoustic sounds. in the new eps four tracks, the dublin based italian producer adopts a somewhat sparse and rough edged style thats dramatically different from the sleek polish that characterizes the output of many other producers. deep by design and funky at the same time, these four tracks dive into a analogue deep house pool of sound!!

the new mojuba brings some fresh tunes from the always reliable oracy. the title track >rewound< is a deep and warm excursion into the sound cosmos that was build on the heritage of detroit and chicago. the flipside is called >hold me< and comes along as peak time cut with some hypnotic disco elements and a phat bassline to proof some serious floor qualities! thats how we like it!

a brilliant 3 tracker offering on the a side with >dawn of the stallion< a sureshot. superb shuffling groove, solid synthsignals and a nearly classic pianochord. thats all but thats oh so effective..

bodyrox wowed us a little while ago with their single yeah yeah, and now they return with what planet you from? just like yeah yeah (which also featured luciana on vocals), what planet you on is a slab of addictive electro-pop. bodyrox - the dynamic duo of jon pearn and nick bridges are building a catalog of excellent urban dance music thats on a par with the brilliant disco-pop of booty luv. and somewhere in between lies the future of pop music

helado en globos is the main track for this release, this number has a bassline which is so funky and driving thats going to even make your grandma dance (expect bootlegs of this track with donna summer funzion ones). for the remix, we had no other than the pan-pot guys who kept the original flavour of the original one adding their special touches to the original recipe turning this track into a deep funky stormer. finally, we took one of funzions best works from the igloo back catalogue, his remix of qiks fall. the only reason we did this because its not just a filler, its killer. enjoy your >helado en globos<!

although berlin based dj woody has long been a member of the gigolo crew, having the honor to play at some legendary gigolo nights, this is woodys first solo release for gigolo. and what a fine entry onto the gigolo-scene it is: sure to get people in the know talking... and dancing! woody is the original sonic funkateer whose life is completely focussed on music and his very own definition of funk. hes a genuine kind of a guy, needing nothing more than two turntables, a mixer and an audience to know hes alive. for him djing and making music is not just a job, its his destiny. just one listen to a track like august and you know how much painstaking attention to detail, and love, has been poured into the production of these tracks. august is a cerebral sounding track that will lift you to another level. a version of august is featured on the double cd 10 years anniversary compilation gigolos cd 10 (gigolo210) selected by gigolo boss hell. booty bar is another pumping and raunchy tune thats guaranteed to get that ass shakin. its and slammin beats and funky, almost jazzy, synths licks plus the sexy vocal samples gives this number a succinctly gigolo feel to it. with songs like this, its no wonder that woody is one of the most respected german djs on the international scene

nite grooves continues on its journey for the dark and deep soul tech. enter brisa. previously known as half of agora rhythm, responsible for amazing remixes of joi cardwells be yourself, as well as having 3 of their own delectably techy instrumental eps on nite grooves, brisa issues his first solo project and its sure to be just as well received. synchronicity is an epic head nodding excursion bound to please the deep and the tech dancefloors alike is followed by 10000 miles away, a straight up 4x4 synthy funk track thats just as heady and smooth.

the third release on claque music is one of hugo, an italian rising star who has previously released on tongut, floppy funk, enliven music and tuning spork records. >born to bop< settles into a swinging groove thats propelled by a delicious bassline and skipping beats that are as crunchy as salted peanuts! the jay haze remix plunges into disorienting darkness.. two trippy tunes tailor made for the night crawlers

gavin herlihy has long been one of dance musics most respected journalists and djs, and with two acclaimed releases on mood music last year and more recently a brace of top-drawer remixes for unkle and alexkid, hes fast becoming one of its hottest producers. freshly relocated to berlin, his debut 12inch for kindisch, >opium haze<, confirms his status as a skilled and innovative player on the house and techno scene. >opium haze< is as heady and intoxicating as its title implies, an effortlessly psychedelic piece of music thats nonetheless firmly rooted on the dancefloor. it begins with a clicky, funked-up conga tattoo cloaked in disorienting effects which partly obscure the jazzy melody rising up from the mixs depths. out of that sticky, dubby fug emerges an insistent, upward-tripping piano line and synthesized string stabs - together forming the kind of rave-ready hook that will cause immediate damage in the club. herlihy is superbly heavy on the edit, using an eastern woodwind sample, disembodied voices and various percussive elements to deliver build after build, drop after explosive drop. >opium haze< is a hugely satisfying piece of music, and a club anthem-in-waiting. >professional exit< is a more stripped-down but no less accomplished affair, driven by a warm, rippling bassline and phased electronics. before the percussion intesifies and interlocks, offsetting a sparse one-note synth line which hangs in the air, thickening it with understated drama. at once seductive and unsettling, experimental and club-oriented, >professional exit< is indeed a professional end to a highly professional 12inch

mothership transmission #4… todd bodine has been one of our favourite producers for a long time so we are very excited to be able to bring to you this ep on mothership. todd always brings a swinging groove that works for both minimal and house djs and this release definitely delivers the doughnuts. side a, >secret edge< will turn any stale room fresh and get everyones toes tapping and asses wiggling. its got elements of detroit, chicago, and berlin all wound up into a really nice party starter. you can never underestimate a fun grooving track thats easy to mix and fun to dance to. side b, >back to back< is a submariners dream with bubbling water sounds floating and popping over a low funk groove. this is the track for when you want to take it down a notch without losing any dance-floor magic. its a real dreamy affair with a fat bottom end. thanks todd!

phat blake baxter like chicago trax !! the unlikely anschluss of vienna and chicago results in a mondo jacking anthem thats not quite early acid house, not quite electro, not quite techno – but just plain evil! featuring vocals by marcus mixx. limited run of 300 copies

another banger from nick chacona on the fledgling speak recordings. >gaze< and its flip >hush hush no rush< is chuggy nu-disco thats straight for the dancefloor with old school traum/spectral dudes broker/dealer providing a remix on the flip too!

support comes from laurent garnier, mike shannon and karotte. one year after the release of his first masterful first solo album >foe destroyer<, on musique risquée and mutek_rec, stephen beaupre is back with with >fish fry<. for a first release on circus company we can say that monsieur beaupre is striking hard! on a side, >fish fry< is the tipical powerfull and psychedelic track stephen got the secret. thats the one you need to rock a dancefloor on peak time. we could compare it to a volcano. on b side, >stutter< leads us to a more straight 4/4 beat track

with a name more suitable to a private eye than a dj duo, guy noir is coming at you at full force. born out of a cross of diverse backgrounds and disciplines, the london based duo is spicing up your current techno aesthetics by adding a pinch of house thats sprinkled with the exact touch of sleaze. guy noir is gowers and georges black box that embodies their visceral secrets ranging from their hispanic and greek musical roots to their seductive sound that works the dance floors. raised within the emerging club scene of the late 80s

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

the original mix of tape replay is nearly nine minutes long and can only be described as a journey. its the perfect transition track, able to turn minimal sets into future disco, a house set into electro-funk, a techno set into a live jam-a-thon or a rigid set of any kind (like too many these days) into something with emotional depth. for remix duties we have enlisted our favorite producers will saul & tam cooper from simple records. much like their tech-house revision of phoniques bang, recently released on dessous, here on fresh meat they have put together a subtle yet bassy response to the wow & flutter original. the track builds and builds and at about three fourths through it explodes with lush keys, rich pads and a breakdown thats executed perfectly. these gents are on point and we are more than excited to have them along for the trip.

phat chicago techno techno, official classic

back with a bang for the next boka release is manchesters sno. one of the dubstep scenes heaviest warriors, this ep shows snos full range of styles. first up is >cant touch dis<, a track getting battered at every dubstep rave from london to nova scotia. on the flip is >urb<, a track on a future reggae flex. and last but not least is >fear<, a track thats so dark, its hard to listen to it all the way through with out feeling like youre going to be sick.

the los angeles native kemal continuing the rich vein of recommended productions released on indeependent recording such as medusa & my faith presents now another essential one on purple tracks! city street walking featuring the killer sexy vocal by foxxee includes 3 mixes: the main, the organ dub & the instrumental. a perfect package for every club and every floor. thats house music from the best side & we all at the purple tower are sure - thats the track to dance your ass off!!!

wicked re edit of metro areas biggest hit muira thats been played by everyone from the so called nu disco/edits scene, including prins thomas, lindstrom, tim sweeney, james murphy, bill brewster, nick chacona, rune lindbaek...

half cousin are a new outfit from the uk that do a quite unique blend of electro and folk. or thats the best we can describe it really.occupying the space between hot chip, junior boys and fujiya & miyagi it shouldnt be too surprising theyve roped in the latter to remix them.... what is surprising though, is that theyve got zero 7 delivering a smooth nu-disco mix as well and to top things off its colognes remixer du jour, justus kohncke with a 4/4 version for the floor.

earlier feedback comes from jack de marseille, monika kruse, laurent garnier, angel molina and felipe. tom hades is marco baileys studio partner since years, but of course he also still makes tracks on his own. on his new mbelektronics record he shows us again his very versatile production skills. whereas the a-side is a great electro-tech monster, the b1is a true techno anthem with slight trance influences. hands in the air, thats for sure! the b2 starts of with mnml glitches but evoluates with a monstruously heavy break.

the original track is a fusion between bips, bleeps, aggresive drums and acid basslines – among all this is an absolutely beautiful synth theme that is the key element of the track. yousef delivers the remix thats a raw thing using the syntherzeiser riff from the original and giving it an even more raw sound.

played by miss kittin & laurent garnier !! french electro-tech guru kiko gets all melancholic, delivering a mournful haunting dark tune thats eerily reminiscent of fellow southern french maestro vitalic at his best.

super cool 4 tracker which rocks for sure !! nothing is known about the mysterious force that teamed up to deliver this consistently powerful record that will have you sing along in no time. all thats certain is that it s a collaboration of well-known producers that need to stay incognito as some people might accuse them of selling out making such a non-generic hit record

substance says: no quantity, quality is the thing and thats way this brand new concept label always delivers two different projects to you! catalogue number starts with dada life from sweden and rob mooney from the uk. dada life, famous with their records on pickadoll and gigolo made a club sequence monster that sneaks into your brain so that you cant escape. rob monney demonstrates finest pumpin electro house peak time action at its best. dont read, listen and destroy your clubbbbb!.

support comes from tiga, jedi knight tom middleton, dj naughty, warren fellow, makossa & megablast. the track >disconnected< is a groovy house workout that is typical of mr van moll. it starts with an excellent rhythm track that hooks you in straight away and then drops a deep, rich bass reminiscent of some of the classic house records from eindhoven produced in the mid 90s. this is quickly followed up with a breathy, seductive female vocal that leads you into the synth parts that propel you throughout the rest of the track until the 303 drops at the end. on the flip the track is reworked into a much darker affair with the 303 playing a central role from the beginning. >disco necked it< builds slowly with dubby synths gradually joining the 303 and throbbing bass before a filtered string part straight outta detroit creeps in creating a late night thriller thats sure to have sweaty bodies grooving!

run and operated by laurent pastor from paris, astro lab recordings is home to many artists producing electronic music in many styles. the main idea of the label is to try to find new and confirmed artists in a real full spectrum of music, from electro, hip hop to indie, thats the guideline of astro lab. first on board is pilooski, after his recent collaboration with d.i.r.t.y and his amazing edit of frankie valli >beggin< pilooski delivered for the first shoot 3

one of the stand out tracks from hardsouls forthcoming d fused & digital compilation, self religion (believe in me) further demonstrates the dutch duos talents extend well beyond the dj booth and threatens to be as big as the rest of their back catalogue. mark knights mix takes the package techy and delivers a mix thats bound to get abused in those late night sets. mr penn does the business with his trademark keys, ripping it apart with that classic house sound we ve come to know and love. this is a battle weapon thats not to be missed!

a perfect example for the second category is the lnz013 track rezolution. even though limited on 500 white label copies, this hypnotic minimal trip became an incredible public success over the last two months. not only, but especially on ibiza, the feos & miroir production is regularly spinned by all important tech house djs. not set the dance floor alight or keep it ablaze with rezolution is a big faux pas the party crowd hardly could accept. due to the overwhelming demand for the lnz013 (and the fact that its sold out mostly everywhere) the label decided to press a second edition of this legendary tune. unlike the tria track of the limited vinyl, the flipside comes with a re-edit version of rezolution, produced by pascal feos studio mate chris wood. extended to 8.30 minutes of playtime, he retained all stunning sound elements of the original, re-arranged them, gave great new accents and lifted the track cleverly up to an even higher, minimal house energetic level. thats why we dont call it a b-, but aa-side track

a neck snapping, feet stomping vintage angel alanis chicago hard house record. flip it for some new style minimal beasts, bass and a blast of dirtiness. strong keys that will echo through out a big room and party rocking tracks that will crave the hunger of hard house, electro house and techno djs looking for that in between sounding record thats a sure shot climax

hot four track release of typically sophisticated deephouse cuts from the fine folks at nordic trax. orlando boys latenight society making their nt debut here with this ep,highlighted with the straight up jazzy stomp of back to the bump, which mixes a fat funk bassline with a smooth horn section and some swinging drums. both the main mix and dub have a stripped down appeal that ll work for the heather and inland knights heads. flip for a slick remix from glasgows chris harris and dominic martin who step up the jacking heat, while system exclusive closes out this fine ep with a techy stomper thats a must for the troydon and hipp e heads

the brighton based trio fujiya & miyagi are set to release uh, the first new material from the hotly tipped act since this years sleeper hit album transparent things. built on a solid funk backing and provocative, breathy vocals, uh is a song about space and time, the alphabet and girls, that comes across like prince gone kraftwerk. on the b side, one trick pony ups the tempo with a jogging beat and hushed vocals. needless to say, its another fine offering from the band thats currently conquering the world with their danceable, groove oriented pop

probably the biggest dancetunes for maripoza this year! the opener >a little bird forever< is a huge dreamy melody monster. the recipe of this smasher is the sophisticated arrangement and the amazing hookline of a warm bass. listening spots is a sound from another galaxy with a lightly deepness.. thats all u have to say about it. so maripoza grows with this two tracker to everyones favourite label

their first release after the massive lp on cocoon recordings ! big one! pig&dan have been away with their heads in the clouds working out a new way to make our minds twist. they have finally delivered the new remedy that will enhance our sonic listening systems to the maximum. >magic valley< which is named after the valley in which their studio is situated in, is a full on deep pumping journey, that includes spooky samples of the ambience thats surrounds them. you can pick up the birds and horses amongst the melodies and pumping grinding beats. techno meets nature all together a great feel good factor and fulfillment of the senses.

integral members of the funky house scene for well over a decade, soul avengerz state their mission as simply >to create feel good funky house for the music connoisseur.< dj/producers paul gardner and wayne o connell exude true passion about the scene, testament to their many nights of gigs and hours spent in the studio. >we are, and have been for years and years, true house lovers of a funky style,< says paul. >we play it, we make it, we love it! music is about having fun and thats what we do, and we believe it shows in our productions.…<

the next installment of ape music is brought by the one like 601, this one brings some grymee basslines thats gonna tickle the right places! big bashy beats that roll through and keep ya dancing this one sure to go off every time! the flip has a wicked rmx by the one and only ben & lex! its hard to decide which is the stronger track as both are some kick arse

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

nice price deal !!! thats is supported by adam beyer / mark broom / missterss barbara !! troy pierce styled techno tracks !! next bomb by mihalis safras and syndikaat

e the hot delivers the license to chill ep thats addictive disco. tinged in summery sounds, these dubby disco tracks need to be heard. includes a deep dubby delight by bjoern torske thats perfect for cosmic warm ups or spangled after hours chill out sessions.

who needs an obtrusively acting kickdrum, when the decent wobbling bassline of breezin does the job just as good. right nobody. or, at least peter grummich (shitkatapult/ spectral/kompakt) doesnt, whose proverbial deepness constantly gets the floors into rapturous body rolling. thus it was just a question of time to welcome this man to karloff, the label for everything thats different. here, all medium dated orientation to felt (rather than experienced) standards is gladly left to other persons of great hope, whilst enjoying the border crossing between dorky monkeyshine and serious spirit of adventure. consequently, quick thinking misbehaviour is also the attitude of the (for formal reasons called) b side, where the horizon gets canvassed for both weird and life affirming sounds, in grasp of the groove. summarizing dance music to breathe deeply.

zero cash präsentiert seine neue wunderbox mit rotzigen synth-riffs, treibenden basslines & schmetternden beats. das kann man auch wall of sound nennen
