volume two from mcedits shows a slight expansion of his concept, but mostly hews true to the rows he hoed on volume one. his method is basically to take lovely ballads and slow jams and add a little house heat. its really remarkable how such a simple methodology can produce such effective results but the proof is in the grooves so drop the needle on these for some rich rewards.

two well known london producers provide these 3 tracks, amazing edits from kid creole and two other lesser know disco tracks. the producers have added a nice modern to 3 disco jams and kept the music heads happy with their dj friendly format. already causing a stir with toby tobias, stevie kotey, faze action, yam who. prins thomas has also been dropping the test press at berlins weekend and other recent gigs.

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his superb debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year. the twelve pieces of minimal detroit sounds you are about to hear, were sent to us as one package. we were blown away and there was nothing else to do but surrender to its quality and sign them all. now join us…

with the electronic justice 12inch, james t. cotton and d_marc cantu saw off another thick slab of classic chicago acid. opener >1mg< is a relentless teutonic grind, tightly constructed yet engraved with enough subversive tweaks to hint at the most experimental urges of james t. cotton_s other persona, tadd mullinix. >werkin house< and >static vision< follow close behind with the brooding squelch of a 303. and if these take us deep inside the darkest warehouse, then the title track reveals the inner depths of the artists themselves. >electronic justice< may well be 2am/fm_s manifesto, a rolling vocal creeper whose laser-beam pulses ebb and flow around a synthesized mantra: >experimental vision/ this is us, who we are/ this is our religion.< fitting words to chant, shout, or whisper in the flicker of a strobe at 2am, after all..

rmxs by peter horrevorts and budai & vic , plastic city brings you two absolutely hot remixes of >flicking pages<, the track from the timewriter album >soulstickers<, and one new track that doesnt appear on the album. the man who had his first plastic city release in 1996, and his very first record >soul freak music< out on the plastic city sub-label suburbia in 1995, gave his track into very good hands. now its your turn to decide whether they got it or not, but were sure youll rock the place with these tracks. so put the needle on the record…

nice price deal !!! big with mickey moonlight, tensnake, cosmo vitelli, todd terje, joakim and the permanent vacation crew. they ve been called one of dance music s best kept secrets jackpot. in 1983 italian experimental sound artist marco donatello and swedish synth pioneer gleen asp made recordings together. their ambition was to put sound to an art-project but the result was an erotic cocktail of italo-esque melodies, ebm rhythms, and filmic arpeggios. legend has it the music was made as an excuse to press records off a narcotic solution in order to smuggle drugs, and that a mishap during the operation explains why we haven t heard these tracks before. in any case, this is an exclusive document of unknown yet truly unique swedish dance music.

a brave move, some might say, for 2 such high profile djs to be championing a drum n bass track!!! yes you read right.. so here it is, in its original drum n bass format from quivver himself... and with mixes from glenn morrison & bruce aisher, glenns recent work with deadmau5 & bruce making up one half of brancaccio & aisher means these guys know how to work it large! their bolshy beats & rock rhythms have made an ibiza classic we reckon... while shifter & carvel have given the package a classy, no messing, progressive workout for all those thaat just need 4/4! large!!!

in 2007 recyver dogs released their second ep hotel brenzone, which featured two tracks from their momentous live set dvd filmed in the basement of the original tresor club. one of these tracks bud sees a burning re-working here on a1 by chicago techno legend dj rush and the result is a sneering, penetrating work of percussive action. this is either searing high-hat mastery or fiery cymbalic wizardry however you choose to reflect on the brew.

essential tech-house interpretation of the jazz standard! tip ! at the core of >take five< is a warm, fluttering piano loop that wouldnt sound out of place on a nina simone record. around these rich, faintly jazzy chords, jona builds a thrillingly direct, percussive track which nods to the passion and polish of classic 90s house music. a shuffling snare pattern and a tough, buoyant kickdrum combine with the keys to give the dancefloor a workout it wont forget. this is smart, optimistic stuff from jona, a ready-made soundtrack for hands in the air at late summers parties. >sunset< is a darker but no less seductive affair. its skeleton is a supple, minimalist groove, undercut with a raw, rangy bassline, and topped by tight snares and a steady, sibilant rush of hi-hats.

having established a cult following on the strength of their previous eps the coyote crew have crafted another blissfully laid back ep of the highest quality. chugging and dreamy in equal measure, these four cuts range from spoken word narrated grooves, to dubbed out acoustic guitar led genius. they have even drafted in the dub disco maestro that is rune lindbaek to supply an extra special remix! coyote back doing what they do best. is it balearic? oh yeah!

breakin boss ed dmx supplies six tracks of freaked-out modular synth madness mangled through the macintosh into some weird high-velocity electrofunk. edmx is eds alias for the more hard and fast stuff, these tracks are experimental but with lots of sub-bass and high tempo beats with unusual grooves. edmx can be seen performing around the world, recently played in japan with breakin artists ceephax acid crew and also appeared this year at the bang face weekender, the bloc weekend party and will continue to play out globally throughout the summer

ultraphat 2 track ep with perfect hyptnotic & groovy summer tunes, just a big one

if youre looking for the definitive compilation of birmingham techno, and a cross section of downwards early contributions to the worldwide techno and minimal scene, then look no further. including early surgeon classics electric chicken and argon (both favourites with jeff mills, dave clarke and countless others, and long deleted) as well as regiss massive ital, not to mention groundbreaking minimal masterpieces from female, this is top quality gear from beginning to end. available on an initial limited clear vinyl pressing, and fully re mastered by the ridiculously talented matt colton at alchemy studios, these tracks laid the groundwork for a generation of techno producers.

karateklub suprises with hugh tracks from jenn, fantastically remixed by rebekah (criminal/uk). with >cheeky<, jenn presents a groovy and much more minimal side then we allready heard on her last ep. suprising and reduced, her sounds looping up and down, embedded in a clonky basedrum structure. the remix, made by rebekah, well known from her releases on criminal records, is just fantastic and completes the ep brilliantly. she desinged a hugh groove and pushed it forward. by adding her ideas she creates an excellent new track. the interface original is specified by stomping and jigging beats, which get intermitted by smooth voices and melodies, before pushing it up again. these girls have it and paint the town red!

3 great tracks for the big techno floors by sergy casttle, sergy is one of the rising stars in spain. after his releases for the label of christian varela / pornographic he s showing with these tracks why!

again a eastern europe e.p on dolls with techno stars from 3 diffirent countries. dejan milicevic is probably the most welknown of these 3 techno pioneers from the east. but veztax and edy are also one of the early and most active techno pioneers in their own countries. a techno e.p. in the true eastern europe format. groovy and danceable, with good structured rhythms and stabs. allready played and charted by valentino, umek, carl cox, dejan, sinisa tamamovic, mladen tomic, marko nastic, etc. etc.

elevate, if you remember, is the deep house label from daniel bell that put out a series of influential records in the late 90’s including the first 12 from theo parrish. these releases are still very much in demand and are going for high collectors prices online. it is now the summer of 2008 and elevate is proud to present a new release, this time from baaz. baaz is a new artist with only a few releases so far including tracks on sascha dive’s deep vibes label and a full e.p. on sthlmaudio. baaz may hail from southern germany but you would swear he grew up in the same detroit neighborhood as mike huckaby or moodymann when you hear his warm, gentle and deeply hypnotic house music.

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

these two scorchers have been doing the the circuit for the last few months and getting support from bassbin twins, groovediggerz and ali b to name a few. rumpy pumpy is plumpy and chunky. hit n hope is a quality crowd hyper!

at salad is the new alias of dj/producers leo elstob (a mountain of one, faith etc.) and rupert lyddon (grand national - sunday best)..... theyve spent the last few months trawling their 50.000 strong record collection and carefully re-editing, re-mastering and re-working everything that fits the rat salad musical junket.... the platform for these amazing reworks is leos new glorys label (see further info below) theyre using traditional methods, old school tape edits and tracks fed half-speed through prehistoric valve amps & compressors to give them an extra rich sound and a unique rat salad double dollop of wallop

alphabet comes back with the long awaited 00f. a lot of hype has been put on this stomping ep after om licensed tinas groove to their coveted om dubai cd. getting full support from: mark farina, lawnchair generals, swirl people, inland knights

tom neville and gower ramsay come together to on the latest release from the phenomenal love minus zero. these two peak time tech house & techno tracks leave you wondering why there arent more tracks out there this good! mechanical ballet has a wonderfully techy groove with synth sounds of old. imagine dark rooms, red lights and sexy people and youve got the right idea.

long and sleepless nights were the inspiration for slaapgebrek wich means sleep deprivation in dutch. the results of these sessions are two moody & hallucinogenic tracks, wich represent a state of mind only to be experienced after many restless nights. the original mix with its freaked out shuffled drumpatterns, rave stabs and maximal modulated bassline is peaktime dancefloor fudder for any crazed techno night. frustrated bleeps and fx give it a nervous twilight zone like feel, climaxing and clashing throughout the track. the flipside takes things on a lighter, more emotion ridden tip. the rhythm is stripped down of all nastiness and the bassline friendlier and melodic. halfway through the break the violins kick in, resembling the break of dawn after another night of turning and twisting without getting any much deserved rest. perfect afterhour material.

songs from the source is a lost and found 1973 recording of the source family. these twelve songs were recorded live in the hollywood hills as a rehearsal for a concert date that spirit of 76 - aka yahowah 13, the savage sons of yahowa, yodship, and firewaterair, now known as children of the sixth root race - had at the whisky. a 1/4 tape copy of the recording was found in chicago in 2006, though no one is really sure how it got there. djin aquarian, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for spirit of 76, recalls being sent on a mission to chicago later in 1973, where he believes he left the tape with an old friend. djin wrote most of the songs in the year before he joined with the source, as part of his solo mystical quest to help enlighten the world before it might annihilate itself, adding, im glad both the album and the world are still here.though this rehearsal wasnt meant to be released at the time, there are probably no other recordings as complete of the band doing these songs. the spirit of 76 had a different sound than the one yahowah 13 made with yahowa. songs from the source has more r n b grooved energy, with splashes of synth and organ, a female vocal chorus and streamlined fusion rhythms backing the uniquely yahowan lyrical populism of songs like godmen and lost dead but hoping. songs from the source is a miraculous missing piece of the sources positive musical movement. the members of yahowah 13 (djin, sunflower on bass, octavius on drums) were joined by family members ahom, aquariana, cinderella, rhythm, vibration, and zoroaster on lead guitar, to create the ecstatic sound of spirit of 76.

finally here two new remixes of the great track originally performed by patty smith and wrote by bruce springsteen! these two remixes are produced by the well-known nello simioli & raf marchesini, the first version includes various fender guitar-gimmicks, the second one more basic!

new zwart release is packed with mhonolink and radial remixes. zwart is dutch for black - the label which was recently brought to life by the twins of tormenting techno stefan and vincent de wit. the style you can expect is a twisted dark combination of furious beat programming and full on percussion. these men support the dutch scene by offering a platform for true dutch product which can easily compete with any other techno movement

beautiful minimal techno music is what these guys want to bring you and once again: succes! very very very nice tracks beautiful melodies and arrangements and never dull on the dancefloor! cooool stuff!

one sided killer application!! some tracks are so weird, that they can neither be fit into a regular release schedule, nor an appropriate b-side be found. for these black sheep we have decided to create a small niche on connaisseur supérieur. the cnss black edition will sporadically present tracks that are way out of our usual categories… with >numb<, daso finally opens his >panteras< box and again proves his ability to rock reeeally hard. the track actually consists of two seperate tracks whose combination has proven itself during several of dasos live performances. it is the transition between the two tracks that makes the crowd go mad. the clonky intro (already published on ware records as mud max - zampone (maderfotor rmx)) morphs into a giant breakdown with perhaps familiar sounding spoken words before it suddenly reincarnates as a ravey monster from hell! numb shouldnt be taken too seriously and is definitely not for all occasions, but dropped at the right moment, this atom-bomb will cause serve damage on dance- floor-gro

another wicked hard techno slammer from the rework boys!! these germans sure know how to rock and they proof it every time. this time a pulsating beat transforms into an evil vocal anthem!

another wicked hard techno slammer from the rework boys!! these germans sure know how to rock and they proof it every time. this time a pulsating beat transforms into an evil vocal anthem! andy lee, known from his releases onfrisbee tracks, i220 and his own label, register and also well known for his very long dj-sets especially in frankfurt at the u60311, but also in the rest of europe, is the new artist on byron bogues s label, eruptive records. 2 technoid trax with sophisticated arrangements and very good designed sounds, made for the peak time. byron bogues s remix is a percussive rocket. a very nice mixing-tool for all style of techno and house

its rare these days that a song can rock the dance floor while maintaining quality and integrity but also leave you inspired by the message in the music. house nation is a prime example of this combination. double impulse delivers a groovy chicago beat with a gritty electroish bassline filtering in and out while layered sweeping synth pads glide on top. house nation strips it down and moves into slightly more techy territory with a bouncing bassline and dubbed out cut up vocal snippets.

full support by angel molina, dub kult, mathias schaffhäuser, jeff bennet, xpansul, oscar, remute. after releases on the own label, now the first excursion to the well-observed european realms follows on karloff rekordings. analog beats, bleeps and white noise - in sunny california these popular ingredients of minimal techno get brewed together with surprising facility, to a fresh, jacking a-side track with a sturdily nodding groove. on top of that, >azizam< doesn’t lack a clearly distinguished climax - for the good of the dancefloor! on the b-side >off my mind< first appears organicly floating within a warm and fuzzy scent of detroit, before >backwards on pony< finally unwraps classic sawtooth sequencer techno, however properly purged und worked up percussively, to a seething cauldron that you simply have to like!
