nice price deal !!! that the dutch producers and her music are fashionable, nobody doubts, proof of this, is the union of forces from patch park and joeri jamison, after passing through little mountain and renaissance, delight us with their new theme in the factoria. the original one reflecting a shift toward techno influences of the two protagonists, as its original title of the song itself, it is accompanied by remixes from oliver moldan that makes a wonderful remix after his success with misfits and nicole moudaber (viva music, plastic city) pure underground sound ... enjoy it

usually i disagree with almost anything fashion designers have to say, but when i was compiling this ep i remembered this quote by the iconic german designer and finally exactly understood what he means. i realized why i react so strongly to den haans music. like proper italo disco its so wrong it must be right. the two glaswegian producers do everything right when it comes to pushing buttons on the dancefloor. to follow their releases on dissident, optimo music and their own imprint courier of death, they have put together this ep that sums up their impeccable feel for hi-nrg / italo fueled dancefloor madness.

the longawaited counterpart to the world famous: eve by day !! big with: anja schneider, adam beyer, joris voorn, steve bug, joel mull, dominik eulberg, james holden, laurent garnier, solomun, ripperton after admired releases on poker flat and of course connaisseur, things were a bit quiet around patrick chardronnet. these days are over now! patrick returns with a big bang offering this wonderful double a-side on connaisseur recordings and opens a new chapter of his delightfully, trippy & emotional adventures. enchanting, mesmeric and deeply touching, these two up-building tracks are reinforcing chardronnets hypnotic side once again. boggler is a simple and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and an endless arpeggio hypnosis. the track works highly effective only with a few elements until the beat comes back after a massive break. underlined with a strong sub-bassline, the whole track starts to fly away and is taking the whole dancing crowd with on its journey. eve by night – a counterpart to >eve by day<, patricks biggest hit so far, starts rather smoothly and upbuilding. then the track turns to a skipping, complex and meandering monster, which is jacked-up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme. the theme deconstructs more and more and a logarithm assembles the parts of the theme to a new and unexpected melody experience. sophisticated !

dj deep with his 3rd city to city selection !! top notch tracks from deep house to chicago !!
ps : tracklist on the cover backside is wrong, our tracklist with soundfiles are correct.

on the occasion of martin eyerers north-american debut, airdrop comes up with in my house, a blockbuster of a track like only this one man can craft. literally showing the rest of the world how he gets it done in his house, or studio rather, martin blends house vox and chords with his signature technique and groove. maetrik pushes the staggering effect even further with a remix that will stay carved in dancefloor history! also on the record is nycs crazy larry, bringing his very personal analog interpretation to the in my house theme. with a new vinyl coming out on hallucination ltd, threes label, and new glacier productions - with partner pier bucci - profiling on the horizon, larry is the man of the situation! two bonus versions come rounding off a full package. punisher, detroits princess delivers a roaring remix using all of martins elements, processing them through her crazy machines and adding up her raging touch. finally, bostons techno vet, mr. pat fontes brings his famed shuffles into the game.

nycs adultnapper hardly ever lets his foot off the gas… and this is no exception! straight back into the driving seat and ready to roll with his next ep for poker flat recordings, slowly is a typically spooked out 2 tracker from the east coasts master of the dark and funky arts…. lead track slowly is full of the type of crazy textural soundscapes that have become synonymous with adultnappers bass infected sound. winding, twirling cables and messed up electronic whir away in the background as a stoic kick-led percussion array works the funk. jazz influenced hooks, sultry vocals and horns-a-plenty, it all makes for an incredible workout! gold and forgetting is a touch more mysterious, with a floating chicago-esque synth theme at its tender heart. of course mr. napper still piles on the funk, and this amazing afterhours anthem to be wins us over hands down. emotional strings swathe by over a meandering 9 minutes of pure and precious metallic sheen

the burner with the theme from the german tv series loewenzahn !!! after his latest remixes for heatloverz (ministry of sound) und howard & stereo ? dixieland (karatemusik) a real slammer from jaques raupe !!

dope piece of 80s sounding disco/ boogie with fragile melodies, blasting bassline and rolling drums by dubious with munk injecting some avantgarde disco antiques and a nice grand piano theme.

matt moroder - one half of the team that brought you the short-lived but no less notorious glossy series - unearthes his new ambitious -little leaf- project compiling other producers and his own reworks of songs that are not your usual disco/ boogie fare but demand a true diggers and imaginative djs mind to spot their dancefloor potential. matt moroder proves this ability right away with the blinding, hypnotizing >secret secret< - an interpretation of a cut by one the biggest, most avantgardistic 70s rock/ pop icons. he extends a short portion of the originals beat, loops the jagged guitar riff and throws in more layers of congas, shaker, handclaps etc before revealing the tracks secret by throwing in parts of the chorus sung by this totally distinctive, instantly recognizable voice. flip over for spanish producer nelues take on >porque te vas< - a one hit wonder song that had worldwide success after being the main theme in carlos saura cannes-winning movie >cria cuervos<. already an unusual mixture in its original form - breathy lolitaesque vocals gel ingeniously with a more 60s bubblegum orchestration of horns, big beats and folky guitar - nelue does a great job with sublte loops and additional bubbly synth overdubs while keeping the sing-a-long charm intact. both tracks already recieve well-desereved support from mark-e, gilb-r ( chateau flight ), beppe loda, tim sweeney and more main players. these two big cuts shouldnt need extra arguments, but since mr moroder is a generous guy he also throws in some extra special, lush artwork for this vinyl only release

2 funky disco cuts by stargard, made in 1977/78.

a1 – the price of the beat: balearic funky percussion beats, dubbed out vocal, mellow chorus hook – chilled taste.
a2 – they dont tell the truth: starts off with killer percussion then goes into soul territory, raw groove business.
b1 – we love the theme: serious groove with beautiful strings arrangement comes with beautiful male & female vocal structure…

put your seatbelts on! after hitting toys in slow motion, bot.ox puts it into gear and takes to the autobahn, with uptempo drums, mad synth lines and freaky naive melody at the next left turn. >overdrive< could have been a perfect horror movie soundtrack, something like the pop corn theme covered by d.a.f.

h-productions has cultivated a reputation over the last two decades for consistently delivering cutting edge material across a diverse range of styles.
the titling for the second single taken from cari lekebuschs forthcoming album >state of the art<, continues in the horror tinged theme opening with the epic >bodysnatcher<, a nine and a half minute odyssey into the outer realms of rolling, glitchy techno. tight percussion and deep end bass set the tone for a fervent mix of resonant and modulated riffs and fx, exquisitely produced and deftly mixed this is another great example of lekebusch at his best.
the flipside of this release brings us the excellent >shivering<, a heady blend of oscillating bass and relentless synth lines over minimal drum patterns that has you hooked from the off. this is a big record that is bound to find favour with techno jocks and house djs alike with its perfect balance of dark and light.

mikkel metal aka mikkel meldgaard is back on echocord with a new powerfull ep. after the latest succesfull full length album with tikiman here comes the next ep on >passenger ep< mikkel metal tries explores new facets of his sound and take a detour from the dub-technom, thats his usual trademark. while obviously still retaining a metal-signature, theres an opening towards a more raw dirty detroit sound here, thats clearly new to his production. opening track >further< is slow tough track with a heavy kickdrum and simple theme. in its austerity it might actually remind one of very early metal productions like >eight< from echocord 01. remaing tracks >no stars today< and >i dream< both build on a dirty simple groove and layers synths and distorted themes on top.

worship recordings with another solid ep release, this time featuring cuts from chris udoh and gary beck. udoh is up first with >hear da muzik<, a driving house gem with a definite dubby flavor, as delays are left to run over solid drum patterns, strong chords, and a rumbling bassline. on the reverse, gary beck keeps the dubby house theme rolling with >stick to the reggae<, which has more of a skank to its rhythm, as dubby delays are again left to exploit stellar percussion, stabbing horns, and a wandering bassline.

trinity all-stars, aka hipp-e and solomonic sound (rob paine & zack eberz) with this cracking newie on worship. as with a bunch of the recent worship releases, >dem a come< is a dubby deep house number, opening with skipping beats and spacey effects before a wicked sub bass comes into play alongside stabbing synths for a sublime basic channel-esque groove. on the flip, the theme continues with >wind up your bass<, again leading in with hi-hats before a ragga rhythm establishes itself, joined swiftly by another superb dubbed out bassline and echoy beats on a track that puts even maurizio to shame! if you like your dubby gear, this release is essential!

supported by: luciano, ricardo villalobos, steve bug, karotte, josh wink, nick hoeppner, dj sneak and more.
raw and soulful deephouse anthem with an outstanding mod.civil (ornaments) remix. around the brilliant voice of suzi q. smith, suedmilch builds up such a deep and flowing groove that you cant hide of it. feel the pure emotions of this track. brilliant work for the upcoming summer time and smooth open air celebrations. on the flipside the mysterious guys around mod.civil pitched down the vocal into a dark mood, which gives the original theme a whole different story - just a cosmic soul explosion - how true !

valyom aka filip vandendriessche dropped this ebm 4-tracker for dbn in 2004.

the in the box e.p. is a fine example of niedermeier & whiteheads no-nonsense style, combining melodic, muscular grooves with deep basses and balearic percussion, the e.p. is a slice of raw tech and deep house class. with a relentless funky beat, in the box pays homage to classic tech-house form whilst maintaining a tracky musical edge that highlights the pairs dj background. with their penchant for diversity, short fuse is something truly unique, quirky pads and filtered fx gives this track a deep house vibe whilst a smoky lead ensures the techy theme is maintained. tales of old has all the essences of modern deep techno, it rolls along with a straightforward beat and a clean unpretentious production flavour. the simple vocal stabs and smooth fx hits are driven along by a wonderfully deep timpani that shakes some air but never interferes with the warm, round sub bass pining the groove together. lastly is out of place, a deep grooving track with an aggressive manner. through a series of dynamic peaks and troughs, technoid percussion and funky vocal hits, this track provides an appropriate addition to this perfect release

lil tony is hotter than hot. while starting to dj and produce years ago, tony has been a staple in the scandinavian club scene since the early 90s. an amazing dj (actually one of the favourites around the moodmusic hq) and a talented producer, tony started with the fbi project with roberto rodriguez and kimmo oksanen before dropping some serious damage on raw trax vol. 1 last year on moodmusic. caned by everyone from luciano (he edited his own version of semble) to dj hell, tonys raw grooves cut the crap and moved people when other producers had to take a leak. hardworking, never forgetting his gentleman manners, tony is here to stay and raw trax vol. 2 is a bold new statement, and his best work to date. solid state takes the classic detroit influenced drum machine vs piano theme a step forward, a impeccable jam of 15 minutes with the beat keeping the pace, this has been roadproofed the last 6 months to good effect. the b-side karamba is a dry, tight driven tech-workout, perfect mixtool for the deeper techno as well as housier sets. it just works well. the closing checkpoint charlie is a tale of >lost in helsinki< – dark mean bass wanders around and gives space for the chuggin main line, monotonic body music at its best.

james braun is one of the new exciting producers out of denmark, with his strong productions he have earned great respect amongst djs like jesse rose and claude vonstroke. this is the second release from the danish producer on tartelet. the original is, like usually, a combination between solid house, great producing skills and james’ urge for experimenting with genre and sounds. with detroit-ish string theme and bass driven groove the original is fun, intriguing yet powerful. on the b-side tartelet are proud to present a remix by claude vonstroke, who wanted to do it after heavy support of brauns earlier material. the remix features many of the original elements but in updated and very danceable version. label-man tomas barfod shows us his darker sides on his remix. barfod takes symphonia late-night with string pad, dirty drums, spacy synths and deep-bass.

dj sneak once again captures the true spirit and soul of chicago house music for his magnetic imprint. timeless 4-tracker from the windy city.

this time its >the greasy beat<, the famed cvs / bootsy collins collaboration. continuing with the theme of claudes favorite producers - robag wruhme steps in for his first appearance on dirtybird. we are honored to have him on this release as he has heavily influenced both claude and justin martin over the years.
the other side features the young j. phlip, delivering her mad breaks/house version that always raises the roof at dirtybird events.
also, a super cool appearance by dop who made their debut on mothership last year as guests on the catz n dogz album. we are very happy to have them back for this special record.

the release, has two original songs and two additional remixes. funky chicken is a powerful and profound theme very well produced. we remember the old school house will surely be a pump for the club! the remix of arnaud le texier follows the line of detroit house, forceful and elegant at any time. namaste has a base of high quality with great pace and a lot of groove. the remix by mirco violi has a great personality with a base and a very marked rhythm, this ep is a vinyl indispensable in any club.

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.

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

the ep kicks off with the title track >we rock non-stop<. tight kick drums layered with pitched 808 subs set the basis of the track. chopped up machine and voice samples are then layered with smooth pads and delays to complete the track. the second track of the ep >solvent abuse< sees sync 24 sticking to his dark roots. distorted vocals, haunting pads, trippy sequences and dirty bass combined with rolling beats and subs!
the reverse side of the 12 inch is slightly deeper, techy affair. >chosen module< is a spacious wash of delays and pads mixed with robotic bass and crisp round beats. the final track >marios mushroom< carries on the spaced out trippy theme of the side with more spooky pads, bubbly bass lines and hypnotic rhythms.

the yore captain returns to his own yore imprint on the labels 21st release. shadow city presents different visions of funky house grooves. the a sides the y theme gets deeply moving with a funky house pulse before stoking the fire with the addition of speaking voices (trippingly intoning the q&a what are we doing this for? and the music), a move which single-handedly jumpstarts the track. after the voices appear, the grooves intensity escalates and plunges deeper, its gyroscopic house swing becoming more dizzying and torrential with each passing bar before coming to an acidy storming end. in its opening moments, shadow city opts for a deeper and more serenading vibe by comparison, but thats traded in for a slinkier attack at the three-minute mark that grows progressively more ferocious as the track makes its drastic upwards ascent. a trippin dangerous murder weapon to say the least. watch your heads! the b sides b2 track, mumbai dweller keeps the focus primarily on the bottom end, specifically a strutting tribal-house funk groove thats dragged even deeper by a throbbing bass undertow, adding dark chords to it, giving this ep a darker feeling towards the end. to sum it all up: this is raw house music at its best!
