italojohnson starts the new year punctual with his third stroke. this record will have something suitable on it for everyone out there. without batting an eyelid, its crosseyed and selfconfident, looking at three different floors at the same time: the a-side focuses on the chicago house floor. it begins with a recognizable toolish sound. slowely but surely the theme of the track opens – the track works through a breakdown, a classic drum roll sneaks in and jack grabs again. the b1 provides an unusual turn on the third italojohnson production. theres no space for compromises here. the track stomps on the steam engine warehouse floor. a flowing acid hookline is settled in the industrial drumline and gives the track its meaning. the second track on the flipside completes the whole package and is destined for the late night hours. thats everything there is to say about this track – the strength and emotion can only be experienced by listening first hand. love, peace and happiness

we present superb deep house treat from alex danilov - framing the ear worming lead refrain around a robust ny house bass line and crisp, punchy percussion with his seal of vintage touches. it kicks off with the track >pool< in which alex builds a chunky chicago/ny styled house cut with silky smooth synth pad and hypnotic vocal loops that carry on to theme of the b side chicago tribute >get old house<. this ep rounds up with the deep and playful >sequence smoke< poem track that will keep you going through the late night. we bring the funk !

new ep from cliches camp by mysterious binary chaffinch, delivering an epic masterpiece of 19:33 minutes with >heavenz gate<.

the exceptional quality of these two pieces of music, combined with obvious dance floor appeal and a coincidentally similar theme made this pairing a logical choice. one side is a hybrid hip hop-dubstep monster put together by los angeles based producer bare. the flip is a drum & bass stomper created by accomplished british producer and long time basshead family member dj silver. both songs are a proven commodity for any bass dj and are causing ruckus on dance floors around the globe.

vincenzo certainly needs no introduction as one of the dessous and poker flat camps central artists. now he is gearing up to release his next full-length album in 2011, the first single to be featured is the breathtaking >the clearing<. beautifully warm and overflowing with atmosphere, this anthemic modern ode to introspective moments on the dancefloor swirls and builds with incredible depth and clarity. like opening the door to a secret garden full of wonders, this powerful moment of positivity sends unifying waves through clubland. the equally special dub version works the groove further with a straighter edge and an even later night theme emerges through the blissed out wash of chords and subtle harmonies. veteran producer ian pooley is enjoying a comeback of late with his classic soulful house sound once again brought back to the floors. his stunning remix pays tribute to all the power and emotion of the original, while cutting up some old-school flavours and laying down that classic pooley key-led funk.

nice price deal !!! federico, already known for his productions on labels such as audio therapy and global underground, offers the theme shout, tech house with strong foundation and leading to tension and rhythm. it features with remixes of fabricio pecanha from brazil.

first on decks.de, we got it upfront !!!! such a beautiful theme to start into a next decade. if you followed the two guys around the last months attentively you may already know this track very well. this one will wake up all the tired horses for sure.

this is one of the biggest releases on the label so far: juan pablo pfirter and alex bau team up for a smashing peaktime experience that leaves no space to take a breath. the modulating main synth-theme determines the character of both mixes and while juan stays very dry and powerful, direct sound, alex roughens it down to a dark technomonster as if there is no tomorrow. after release of pfirter on such highclass labels as clr, figure, stroboscopic artefacts and his very own mindtripmusic this is a stunniung debut on dmom.

>good things< marks a shift in methodology from personal to political for aloe blacc, who refers to the project as his report on present conditions - the misappropriation of wealth, pillaging of resources, a universal lack of compassion, and the struggle to survive. ethereal production from truth & souls leon michels and jeff silverman mask a foreboding undercurrent in which aloe blacc crafts thought provoking lyrics. nowhere is this more evident than on lead single >i need a dollar< - theme for hbos >how to make it in america<.

after a lengthy break from the electronic music world, genotype is back with an lp for exit records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias just jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as trouble on vinyl, renegade hardware and reinforced records, its no surprise that he has managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of jungle. many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. the dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for west indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.

tejada and humphrey made their debut together late in 09 with their >marooned ep<. >assimilation< continues the theme of being marooned in los angeles. the four works compiled here are the result of the best moments out of 20 recording sessions. the music is for the most part assembled with analog instruments with humphrey and tejada bringing their modular gear together for the sessions. humphreys knowledge of synths and programming is quite extensive. he until recently helped operate la based big city music, a dealer of modular and boutique synthesizers.

rené löwe prod. essential dub techno cuts in unique rl chords driven sound design - tip!

after a recent short n sweet stint on tensnakes mirau imprint irish ex-pat mano le tough reemerges on internasjonal where he first saw the light of the day as a producer with the much acclaimed warhorn. yet even with such a rather small, straightforward discography mano managed to sculpture his unmistakeably very own style fusing the deeper shades of house and techno with a strong melodic sensibility that one would never even get the faintest idea to file it under the mostly bland tech-house genre. oblique boast a perfect effective dramaturgy with slighty spooky broken melody box theme rising out of a thick mist of grinding chords before morphing into a deep acid finale. french gentlemen of distinction and many styles chateau flight toughen up the beats and throw in some african wood percussions and sparse psychedelic dub effects for a superb rhythmically multi-layered rework.

they are back! the parisian duo formed by cosmic neman (also herman duenes drummer) and etienne jaumet, continues as a ufo his incredible odyssey on the indie scene. an odyssey in the form of meteoric rise. zombie zombie claims since its inception his passion for krautrock and some form of cinematic music. the zombie zombie inevitably evokes bands such as neu, silver apples, suicide, goblin or ... john carpenter soundtrack ... and the inevitable happened!

oscar grabs an old toto tape and takes a trip through africa. flip over for another huge edit of a well known theme ...

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

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
