next eklektisch anthem. edu imbernon & los suruba pres number 5. punset sees the trio in full-on-goosepimple-enducing mood. each copy of the record should include the instructions - one to be taken, at sunset or sunrise for heightened effect. the boys have encapsulated the finest of balearic moods and brought them to the dancefloor once again. the deep throb of the progressive bassline, whilst allowing the track to breathe, has enough power to drive the track. the fluid sounds in the breaks, together with its simple piano riff and bell chimes, bring us down before the synth melody and weighty bass shoot us to the stratosphere on a wave of smiles... on remix duty is none other than hamburgs finest and diynamic music head honcho, solomun. turning punset on its head, yet maintaining its epic feel, the german produce

kapitel 2, and once everything is new! the collaboration of talented young producers and skilled heroes of the scene provides a colorful picture of the current sound development of the label in 2011. between tempo throttled, acid infected dancefloorkillers of l kubic and old school groove monsters of tokra thaan in a remix of james flavour up to grinding minimal beats with hypnotic-flashing sounds of trockensaft, to chameleon tracks from swen weber, which welcomes you with a dancehall impregnated beat in a 4/4 beat corset, which is ironed in the course of its construction and stay suddenly like a stomping and snorting steam train in the ear canal. and if then hardy hard mates early nineties rave influences with house vocals and flat-fuzz comes with a ghostly- kicking sampletrack around the corner which is just as hip hop as electro, it is clear, that these pieces are absolute killers of their guild, from the first to the last track, and each of them is conspicuous by its own distinctive aesthetic. originality is all

the focus energy / motive order twelve inch takes seamss lush electronica in a new direction. having captured the essence of the berlin summertime with the tourist ep, seams returns with and altogether more dancefloor orientated release. driven by a desire to make audiences at his live shows dance, a much more propulsive sound manifests itself across the two tracks, both built from the same ingredients but taking them in two very different directions. focus energys minimal percussion and vocal stabs pushes seamss sound further towards the techno production hinted at in hung markets, whereas motive order rearranges focus energys parts into a much more dense wall of sound, filled with arpeggios and noise, evoking the sound of the border community fold.

finally ! the new ep from gopher. this one is a follow up from a bunch of remixes that alex had released over the last few last months for autokratz, etienne de crecy, light year, alb, pacific & sovnger. it gives us a good idea musically of what his album with patrick devin could be about !! some of the reactions about these remixes were >amazing< (boys noize), >brilliant< (groove armada), >absolutely love it< (david, autokratz), >quality !< (spiller), >favorite track !< (reset !), >on adore, ça tue< (soulwax)… ok, >invasion< is electronic music, but above all, thats f… good music ! vintage synths, harmonies, vocoder and other surprises ! who are the invaders? if they are as fresh as they seem, then we welcome them with open arms! >virages< takes us where the mastery of alex is well known. a track more radical, more oriented towards the dance floor. a funk and dirty bass line that drives until the arrival of a big 303 lead. mmmmh, yes !

he s now back with a new 2 track ep, wait & see, that gives a sneak peak into his album that wil be released in october.on the a-side, wait & see, a secret weapon already triggered by agoria on his recent sets. the track opens with a steady but slightly dizzying rhythm pattern that eventually makes way for an androgynous chorus that build and lift your hands in the air with them. on the flipside, -love birds- a night owl, minimal and graceful and which waves its wings of synth arrangements and nocturnal chants till the first shines of the day

slamming remix ep. the first track of this ep is a special vinyl version which is a bit more trippy than the 2010 original. the second one is a remix by solan who take the vocals and pitch them down to create a fantastic detroit-styled remix. matthias meyer and patlac who are well known from their latest releases on labels like cecille, liebe*detail and baalsaal contribute with the second remix, an incredible tech-house bomb that will surely do the job on every floor of this planet. last but not least filtertypen spice up the original with their unique rhythms and some fresh new chords.…

the 3rd various artists on ostwind records, >secrets part 3< presents 2 new artists making their debut on ostwind. quinto and jeahmon, introducing themselves with incredibly convincing tracks, were taken into our hearts quickly. attaching utmost importance to sound, feeling and heart, we extend a warm welcome to them. sandru and josh are well-known faces of our house and will complete this vinyl with their unique tunes.

grammy nominated hannover producer martin buttrich gets down to business with this sharply delineated four track ep, his first release since his >crash test< lp on desolat. buttrich is known for his deft hand with spacious, warm tracks that crackle and snap. his propulsive techno and house music re filled with compressed living sounds. on tracks like >fireball< and >magic market<, crisp percussion shimmers around snug-fitting basslines, with snares and toms moving the speaker cones insistently. >fireball< will quietly smash the dancefloor, with rhythms so taut you could bounce nickels off them. the heavy kick of >rocket< anchors it to agitated drums slowly enveloped by a melodic soup, inflected with disrupted noises as it sweeps over the listener. >20 ways< has a reflective and fresh feel, like city lights seen through rain, with a peppy beat that swaggers along. then theres that bass again, bringing disarming warmth, and always with the underlying influences of reggae, hip hop and soul... music lovers who purchase the vinyl release will be treated to a free download voucher for all the digital versions, as well as additional bonus tracks. the 4 bonus tracks wont be available to digital-only customers at this time

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

the good the bad the ugly the evil is a full on and brandnew 4 track ep from our cologne artist roland m. dill. roland has worked here with a stronger live-set up resulting in tracks more organic. developing from within rather than being developed, the tracks seem to have a stronger hypnotic edge to them. according to the titels the track all show diffferents characteristic. starting with the evil this track is not very obvious but works very much by itself, whereas the good is a perfect intermezzo for djs who really build up their sets with a lot of skill. the ugly is a mental track... it has stunts, it screams, it sees no end... this is mandness on the highest level and also the bad is written in this veain.
played by: martin eyerer, umek, sian, stephan bodzin, patrick pulsinger, orde meikle/ slam, paco osuna, mihalis safras, dubfire, john digweed, deepchild, jens lissat, blind minded, sebastian russell, gow, zidan, scott byrne, danny tenaglia ...

new label by third ear records and what a cool first release!!! groovemental is bringing explosive jazz versions of two classic dance tracks! side x: dumb machines version of theo parrish,s falling up is based on the carl craig version of the track rather than the version recorded by theo. one of the biggest house tracks of the 2000s and a recognised classic. dumb machines have introduced words. the word falling is intoned throughout the track and the second stanza from louis macneice,s poem snow is recited. side y: written by tori amos. dumb machine,s version is based on the armand van helden remix. he created an irresistible dance groove, selected a few choice vocal samples, which became part of the clubbers lexicon, to create one of the biggest dance records of the 90s. dumb machines have gone back to tori amos lyric, taken various lines from the lyric and cut and pasted them together. two very inspiring jazz tracks for the house and techno generation, and for everyone else too of course! been on high rotation since we got it in stock!! recommende

mule music happy to announce the joe claussell remix of kuniyuki >all these things<. we have been waiting almost 4 years…. we have asked him when we were going to make the remix package kuniyuki-remixed. now finally his remix is arrived! joe claussell invited his favorite instrument player and let them re-performance the original version of kuniyuki. the remix is 22min which is composed of 7 parts.the first half is quiet and beautiful,then after the speech of martin luther king during the break,then emotional second half come. we think this great remix is one of the best work of joe claussell. on b side,kuniyuki made self ambient version. the painting of record sleeve is by kuniyuki father! so dont miss this beautiful record.

cool, dark underground club monsters. being a top player in the music industry is not an easy task! but with 15years in the business and over 150 releases, 50+ remixes & 300+ compilation appearances the numbers of jeffs output speak for them self’s. jeff started creating music in 1994 and got hooked on it directly, but it took until 1998 before his first single was to come out on his own label maskros music. since that single he has released on labels like poker flat, night drive music, episode, treibstoff, kickin music, konvex konkav, plastic city, global underground, regular etc.

in just a matter of months, life and death has swiftly established itself as purveyors of quality contemporary dance music, made by artists who would undoubtedly make anyone s short list of who i d like to invite to my afterparty . it seems only fitting then that with their newest release they ve recruited the undisputed kings of late night mayhem and madness for a paen tribute to that beautiful party after the party, the continuation of all things good and twisted.. the afterparty itself. not to take the issue of such a joyful celebration lightly, dop has gone on secret missions over the last 6 months, quietly (and often not so quietly) infiltrating afterparties worldwide and secretly extracting pituitary secretions from the rowdiest party goers at each of them. they then took these secretions, burned them in a special voodoo ceremony and immediately went into the studio to create a fitting tribute to the after-hours festivities we all hold so dear. once that was complete, friends were invited and even more deviants came to the party for some dirty late night remix action. clockwork (who s recently released it s you again on hot creations has already been the soundtrack to many an after party) are here, french wolf+lamb collaborator le loup is here, mas collective (who recorded on seminal nyc label strictly rhythm) is here and marius & david are here too.. everybody giving it their own special flavor. what an afterparty indeed.

with the new release on maruca music we welcome a trio from moscow: b.a.d.
it stands for bvoice, anrilov and danilov (denkbar). all three of them are well-respected artists on their own and now they joined together with the label owner pier bucci to create and crossover between russian culture and latin-american soul.
the title on the a-side >musica moscow< is like a night in moscow: trippy, mysterious and lots of rhythm.
the second track on the other side is named >the poem<. it is a deep and thoughtful track complimented with a russian poem by arseniy tarkovskiy which was taken from a movie shot by his son and one of the greatest russian directors ever andrey tarkovskiy himself.
early support by: andrey tarkovsky, fiodor m.dostoyewski, g.i. gurdjieef, antonio velasco pina, lev tolstoy.

two tracks from alden tyrell which he played in his live sets a couple of times. produced without the intention to release them or do anything with it beside using them a few times in his sets. however after we played the tracks from cdr we just needed to get them on vinyl! so here they are... two basic chicago house trax ready to be played out loud!

onwards and upwards for the section8 clan as they get ready to deliver possibly their biggest release to date with a mighty, thunderous dubstep assault from one of bristols brightest up & coming production duos, dodge & fuski. having built up quite a reputation already with some killer releases on labels such as never say die and rat, this one looks set to earn them even more attention, get ready for the sound system bangers! ethereal pads open up aerophobia before an epic, grandiose synth enters the mix to set the scene for whats to come and youd better be ready because its quite simply, sick! watch the dance go crazy as we kick into an absolutley heinous bass riff that grabs by the throat and doesnt let go with a smashing break holding it all together. it only goes on to get even better with a totally funked up 4/4 switch up too! more bassline manipulation ensues and the dubstep break returns to complete whats sure to be a massive club anthem. a lot of fun. onto the flip and the tranced-out intro vibe continues with another awe-inpsiring arrangement of twinkling synths and fx on fuckem all. though the ravers are gonna love it and thats really what this is all about. bangin!

dj karotte support !! when benno blome and jens bond were hanging out in bennos studio the other day they suddenly found themselves on the floor looking for their heads. they must have fallen off, while producing some new bond & blome-beats. having found their heads again, and put them back on, they continued, and finally came up with the lose their heads ep. after a couple of 12inches for sender records (tentacular, control your soul) during the past years, they now armed forces to release on senders new sublabel senzen. also thanks to the fantastic remixes from onno and acumen, this whole package is ready to rumble all over the dancefloors of the universe. you can leave your hat on, while you lose your head!.

this is techno 2011! donato dozzy comes back on prologue with his mate neel. the new brilliant collaboration between them shows how techno sounds today. the 4 drop tracks are deeply emotional designed and each of this drop have his own unique character from ambient to techno!

claque musique ready to unleash their latest offering, from an artist who has become a key member of the claque family, rio padice. having in recent years devoted time to learning the production techniques of the 90s, blending the use of software, hardware and sampling, his productions, unlike so much of the current trend for looking back, have a mature and studied classic sound and feel to them. his work this year has seen firmly rooted in the front of the most discerning of record boxes.rio follows his remix of micro_on (claquemusique10) with his very own woodland ep. as we have accustomed to, rio delights us with another selection of tracks that see him exploring and bringing together the best in classic sounds with his very own fresh contemporary spin. the beautiful trip through woodland opens the ep. a dreamy bass-heavy acidic number. much different is ocrons land, with its static sounds and almost industrial feel. mutant camels with its bubbling bass, rasping hats and dromedary movement rounds out the originals. remixing the title track is padova born alex picone. renowed for his releases on bass culture, mus and cadenza and fresh from the success of his fahrenheit single, alex ramps things up for the dancefloor on woodland, replacing the original acid line with some fresh guitar licks. perfect!

on this release we have two goddesses of drum & bass, the queens of the jungle ... diane charlemagne (goldie >inner city life< / high contrast - >if we ever<) and ladyroller (ez rollers >tough at the top / walk this land<) and what an honour to have worked with them both. still as much talent now as back in the day.
here we present to you 2x 140bpm straight up bass bangers ... simple as that. you know the protocol, turn it up load and keep it rolling till the morning...

this is it! 2 tracks from the forthcoming/work in progress/almost finished rub n tug longplayer. this is original rub n tug music put together with a lot of love & help from our talented group of friends...
rub n tug have pulled together quite the all-star team from the many life members of the party itself - among them american alt guitar hero matt sweeney of bonnie prince billy and zwan fame. as well as his cousin spencer, a major figure in new yorks art world. justin vandervolgen of! & tbd is the man on bass. for some native rhythms rnt call on rene lopez a native of nyc who s father was ray barrettos trumpeter (acid), its in his blood...

it would be very tough to dispute the phrases >good things come to those who wait< or >less is more< when talking about the impeccable standard of sebo ks productions over the years. looking back at the very first mobilee too hot, and other hit releases such as diva and spirits, as well as a collection of remixes on some of the most respected labels – he is given name in any serious house music collectors bag and now we have another wax to add! mr. duke is nothing short of a summer anthem…opening with a delicately constructed rhythm pattern that eventually makes way for beautiful synths that build and lift your hands in the air with them. it warms you up just as the sun does, re-appearing from behind a cloud and covering your body in its rays. summer and sebo k – the perfect combination.

following ryan davis debut >routes of life< on traum in january 2011, his high acclaimed follow up shows ryan is a real tastemaker but also a real club rocking musician. few artists in the electronic modern dance scene of today make music that seems serious and intense... and still accomplishes to have club people go wild on it. it is a bit of a lost treasure of the golden techno days, ryan always reflects in his music when he creates moments of beauty with an collective fee to them. ryan davis in one of them and his new ep shows that side even more than his debut. a-side track supernova brings images together of psychedelic west coast soundtracks of the 70ies, pop art, shoe gazers and maybe salvatore dalis surrealism.

could spinner be days of being wild first ever french touch 12 inch? well not quite… although all producers involved here are french, this release rather shows how far away the french are from the famous touch that made them so popular more than 10 years ago!
support comes from matt walsh, rub n tug, danny tenaglia, deepchild, photonz, diskjokke, magda ...

after a well deserved winter pause, darek is back with a new vinyl edition, perfect for the start of the mild and sweet sunny days! this time, the swiss/argentinean label offers something smooth and fresh. sakro who is a young producer from mexico, delighted us with these deep house gems. for the vinyl, he produced two original tracks, one of them is featuring asylum. we are also very lucky to have sierra sam, marcus vector as well as the midnight perverts featuring gionny on board, for the remixes! but now, lets talk about the music…

kieren dickins aka dels is a new type of rapper (which is another way of saying that heãs more than just a rapper). applying the kind of attention to detail, micro-management and macro-vision which jay-z used to build a business empire, dels makes art. popular art mind you, but art all the same, an album of emotional peaks, musical innovation and surreal, brilliant lyrics, held together by such a unique, such a strong vision that it sounds almost silly to suggest itãs just a debut. already causing a stir with the tasters ¶shapeshift÷ and ¶trumpalump÷ (and the videos he masterminded for them), everything is now ready to show how these pieces fit into the bigger picture.

jeremy glenns >new life ep< is filled will sun-drenched euphoria, it comes bearing soul, embraces jeremys natural pop sensibilities and celebrates the underground scene thats shaped him as a dj. the title track takes us down to the beach with its 90s pads and thumping bass line to hang out with mitch buchanan, >found a love< reminds us of a rare vintage cut that the revenge or jacques renault dig up (check that acid line!) while >overtime oozes of prince. alex barck of jazzanova also rolled out a cheeky feel good remix of new life. its sure to make you grab a partner, throw them into a twirl or two and play an air bass guitar. already jeremy glenn has shared the decks with james murphy, tensnake and andy butler as well as performing live alongside dam-funk, aeroplane, and alexander robotnick. check the video by dakota of >new life< and take in all 80s boobs, 90s muscle, yachts and tiger fades

benoit & sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. in the washington dc duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for dfa (the acclaimed boy trouble ep) and visionquest (the lovelorn where the freaks have no name ep), dc duo benoit & sergio return to spectral sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. and >let me count the ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that ive loved.< as the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey. the b-sides >let me count the ways (autumn version)<is a vastly different take on the original?s maximalist swell. stripping the beat back to its bare essentials and building them up again over nearly 12 minutes, the >autumn version< recalls arthur russell?s more minimal moments down to its wobbly bass filigree and mumbled vocal samples. by the end of the track, the claps are falling on the twos and fours like crinkly foliage, synths are sizzling like firewood, and benoit & sergio?s newest banger is revealed in its full glory once again.

played by: len faki, hot chip, seth troxler, terence fixmer, zdar, technasia, deetron, dj feadz, joris voorn,... darkroom dubs re-issue two early 90s techno monsters ! we are delighted and honoured to have the opportunity to re-release two of our all time favourite records on darkroom dubs. both really shaped our love and appreciation of electronic music when we first heard them at the arches and the sub club. ..

mister saturday nights eamon harkin dishes out another dose of rocking revamps on this the second release from his subway series imprint. this time the throne of blood man takes three numbers which should be somewhat recognizable to discerning ears and mutates them into jams designed firmly for the dance floor. >party out of sight< is a superb re-work of the bill withers seminal harlem. this edit made its first mark a few years ago in an earlier guise on mp3 but has now been further spruced and improved for wax. >the better kind< stretches out joy divisions >means to an end< and underpins it with a rocking drum pattern whilst >turn up the funk< is an excellent re-work of the proto hip-hop number >shoot the pump< from back in the day. a real bumper package!

nice price deal !!! we are very proud to announce the debut release of a truly outstanding new musical project called >the goon show<. not much is known about this project, as the tracks reached us totally out of the blue, so to speak. the project consists of two experienced electronic wizards situated in berlin and is the first joint effort in the music world. their debut 12 inch features the wonderful and almost impossible to categorize track >angel band<, or as american music journalist philip sherburne put it:> the production on is really spongy and weird and enveloping, and the voice works so well with it, , this is really good, and i dont say that lightly!<. further admirers and supporters are the djs and producers osunlade, efdemin, adultnapper and many others. >angel band< comes in three versions, an acappella, a dub and the blasting original. as a bonus track, which is not just a b-side, but would be an amazing a-side on many other releases comes the beautifully melancholic >the grass<, of which our dear friend aksel schaufler aka superpitcher has said: >i love it and was in tears while listening to -the grass- !< . limited copies, get them while they re out there!

there are certain songs that are so very good, the only singular word that accurately describes them is satisfying. >wait & see< is one of those: an aural pleasure that scratches an itch and hits the spot so precisely, it almost feels like self-denial not to listen on repeat. on holy ghost!s latest ep, the absurdly catchy single from their self-titled 2011 debut gets a makeover from three of dance musics titans: cfcf, kris menace and richard x. and while this batch of remixes finds the artists behind each track steering in new directions, each finds a way to capitalize on the irresistible danceability of the original.

kompakt has always been partial to belgium as they have been tremendously loving to us ... leading the charge of support have been our friends mugwump – the dynamite duo that comprises of geoffoy and the star of our show today – kolombo. we have had a great strain of releases with them over recent times and many will remember kolombo from a number of big tunes for turbo, vice versa and boxer recordings. kolombo pays tribute to the spirit of slo-mo belgian new beat with >waiting for<. a 105 bpm driven concoction of classic house, balearic disco lead by the voice of 80s pop maestro howard jones of his memorable hit >everlasting love< means yes, we have a winner!

the ever on point citrus recordings is stepping up for its 5th artist lp. after having released the debut albums of mindscape & jade wich all went on for critical acclaim its time for citrus to get ready for its 3rd artist album. this time its time for the debut album of fourward!hailing straight from lower austria the four men collective fourward started out producing music in early 2007. the boys knew each other for quite a while and shared the love and passion for drumandbass music. for them it wasalways a main issue not to stick to any particular tiny subgenre only, but to develop a sound of their own. all members have different musical backgrounds which fit together perfectly and provide a great studio vibe. days went by and the boys finished a couple of tunes properly and it wasnt long until austrian drumandbass producer duo body&soul showed interest in their works.also international artists like bbcs very own crissy criss began to support their music giving them airplay on his radio show. as a result of their effort fourward has released quality tunes on labels like subsonik sound, planet funk and fokuz. the year 2010 they experienced the so called breakthrough with releases on nasca recordings and fokuz followed by an epic 12inch for the legendary label virus recordings! the guys definitely didnt stop there and being on the road now broadened their horizon even further. resulting in a series of tunes perfectly fitting together in this 4pack 12inch. diversity and musicallity are keywords for this album. listen from low blow to you and me, quality drum n bass!

clandestine techno/house imprint, meanwhile records reveals a one-off opus from two highly respected techno producers, niels luinenberg (delta funktionen) and samuel van dijk (mohlao). the deeply mystical >inward content< session represents the leuwarden sound of their native north holland (also former home to another master of hypnotic repetition ((of the graphic type)), m.c. escher) with an elegant, classically informed and deeply refined brand of 4/4 also identified on celebrated 12inches for ann aimee and delsin. the albums six tracks use an economical production palette, but we wouldnt call them minimal. the emphasis is on subtly monotone melodic shades, from the rippling black masses of bass which power each track, to the bluest hued pads and unfathomably expansive atmospheres which lend them their spectral grace. listening to this album is almost a mystical experience, like hearing the results of a seance conducted in low-lit surroundings calling upon the spirits of basic channel, convextion and the black dog circa 1995. >inward content< took over two years to assemble and techno connoisseurs can clearly discern why. recommended!

without a doubt it is one of the strongest pieces so far to come out of the mind of matt star. morphology, the title track is a trip that is leading us directly into the center of the dancefloor. it is characterized by its enormous dynamic, a deep & dirty roughness that comes up alongside an unstoppable kind of a mesmerizing groove - this one, for sure, is going to be loved by all fans of the usual suspects that are playing in the global champions league of modern high quality techno music. mttstr on the flip side seem to be building up a bit more subtle. both of them show matts talent for patiently modulating sounds creating almost extraterrestrial fluid grooves. both sides of the record are bringing an overall energy containing several well placed breakdowns and carefully crafted moments of high tension before matt is letting things kick back into full force again.

after releasing some highly acclaimed records on delsin tel aviv-based yoav b. releases three new tracks on the belgian meakusma label. gently rubbing shoulders with detroit techno (the way anthony shakir produces it) and hiphop, built on crazy loops and raw rhythms, the tracks are enhanced with psychedelic and playful sounds, that give them the feeling of being in continuous flux and movement. the mood here is absorbing yet ambivalent. on top of this, protect-u, from the fantastic future times camp, delivers a remix, pulling the music away from reality, firmly aiming it for the universe. with a mid-tempo house feeling, a crispy bassline and abstract synthesizer pattern, they take the listener beyond the infinite.

frijsfo beats are proud to announce the latest single from uk bass badman, sully, entitled >toffee apple<. picking up where his 2010 keysound single >in some pattern< left off, it sees the versatile pirate vibes-imbibed producer take purple synths and twist them into dizzying contortions. a rude drop roots the track firmly in uk soundsystem culture while a tough steppers beat drives it forward. sully is one of the most treasured yet under-celebrated producers in the uk today. finding a space between 2steps swing, dubsteps edge and breaksteps drums, his versatile productions perfected styles and vibes four or five years before the future garage movement had begun to investigate them. as the rest of the bass family are now embracing house, 2step, uk funky, purple synths and juke, sully looks to have a big 2011 ahead of him. >toffee apple< is the perfect sweetener. limited edition single-sided 10 inch release with etching on flip.

desolat is proud to present a release where veterans meet manon aka manon maeder has been part of the swiss techno and house scene since the early nineties. starting with illegal parties in bern, later involvement in legendary early days afterhours at the >oxa” in zurich, followed by first productions in 1996, residency at >hive< club and her involvement with the >vision< festival, manon is today probably more thrilling than ever before. for desolat, she delivers remarkable tracks that sound like a sonic snapshot of a balearic sunset. pat carnal speaks about manon getting lost in brasil 20 years ago and the conversation was recorded at one >formbar< afterhour. guitar virtuoso mats küpfer added his part at studio willeneger in bern. we d like to tell you more about >que cara é essa” but its probably better to listen to the music. first remix comes from another veteran and one of our heroes, stacey pullen, a kosmik messenger and an innovator from the second wave of detroit techno. he takes vocal snippets from the original and wraps them up in his trademark percussive, driving, stripped down sound. second remix comes from desolats own tini representing a new generation of electronic music talents. she turns manons original in a dark claustrophobic shaker that will gently take you by the hand and stay on your side until the next sunrise

yes borique tribez back in da house selecting the freshest techno beats for his basics imprint! gueststar david moleon got the chance to take his favourite tracks by kobaya and turned them into his style. original were killers, but these two fine gems here a masterblasters! big from start till end and will turn more heads than kate and will.

small world disco is back from a slight vacation since their last release, bring with them a massive treat! memoryman is back in control of swde013, two big tracks. ltj played the a side at the low slung party in london last month and it went off! cannot stress the brilliance of this enough.

skinnerboxes first bpitch 12 inch >anapol< is the culmination of about seven years of performing experience. iftah gabbai and olaf hilgenfeld casually juggle colourful house, jazz and funk elements like its their second nature. and the metamorphosis from anarchistic improv chaos to form and structure in no way impinges on the level of energy in their music - in fact, just the opposite is the case, as the newly discovered sense of auditory space in the tracks allows them to significantly concentrate each tracks power.

label bosses are back in tandem for the sixth release on micropunto: wine ep, which also marks the beginning of micropunto schallplattens vinyl era. wine ep started as a back to back game after a spillage incident. ikkaku and d-gelo started producing two separate tracks in their respective stations and every half hour they swapped seats, building the tracks as they went along. the result is this musical experiment that sets the trend for all things to come from the micropunto clan. they spilled wine on me kicks in with a deep lead stab from the catacombs. the elements appear on the scene in a stride to resurface. it goes up then down, left, rigth, it gets dubby, then back in your face. in i spilled wine the beat unfolds steadily like a bulldozer coming up to the surface in search of the true sound. next we meet the preacher. with a subtle housy piano lead he puts us in the right track, reminding us that the dance floor is made of sand and we are on the rivers bank. listen to the flow. lord techno, you are my music. originally inspired from a dub tune featuring ras ajay from the spaceship sound crew in london,dubwine closes the triangle with a huge dub flare. fat subsonic bass and broad stabs make this track a serious contender on the dub techno charts. its the producers blink of respect to the reggae culture that has inspired them all through the years, hence the vinyl release.
