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.

the latest from thesongsays brings back one of our main players - bruno pronsato. whats he been up to you might ask? aside from completing his album lovers do, working on music with thomas melchior and daze maxim and putting out records as pubic lover with our leading lady ninca leece, not much… maybe hes been in the rafters sipping coffee or understudying for bigger roles. who knows. nonetheless he’s back. these two new tracks come from his upcoming lp, lovers do. its a single, sort of. but not really. because when has bruno ever done a single like we know a single? this 12-inch is about as far as you could get from club fodder. rather, its a pair of subtle grooves to soundtrack you cutting carrots, sipping whiskey, or dancing at some intimate afterhours spot

mixmode starts the year with a bang! delano had some great feedback on his release and no wonder why! he is one of the most consistent house producers around. delano is only delivering a hand full of releases a year and always the highest quality. overwhelming warm tracks with classic grooves and that fresh vibe. quality house music with the capital h. hearing these tracks we feel like going to a party tonight

being one part of the dj team kassette boys, ferri borbás aka superlover is widely known as m_ferri. he was raised in berlin and after the wall came down he got musically influenced enormously by the then arising techno culture of the mid 1990ies. his early productions have always mirrored the influences of the rough, industrial and dark sounding techno sound which was brought to berlin by artist like jeff mills, laurent garnier or joey beltram. simple, radical sounding and functional: tracks like his >tanzgenerator< or >open the watergate< had shaped these asthetics into a trademark sound. his latest superlover project is slightly shifting his musical coordinates : instead of a reduced and purely funtional >m_ferri sound< his new project presents a rather emotional and energetic mix of warm sounding rhodes pianos and string synthesizers. the three tracks of the e.p. combine those sounds earworm-like to catchy melody riffs and being the metamorphosis of a new disco influenced, poppy superlover sound

greg wilson dips into the vaults and reworks two tracks from the pre-disco era of funk & soul on his latest ruff edits release. willie hendersons the dance master (1973) and happiness is just around the bend by the main ingredient (1974) were both cult favourites with black music aficionados way way back in the day, even before greg started deejaying in the clubs first time around. greg originally extended these tracks for his vintage future retro mix earlier this year, before he began to play them out as ruffs

please welcome a new member to the mojuba label family, sirko müller. to some of you sirko might not be so unknown, because hes in the game since the mid 90s and is one of the founding members of the label tokomak records, which was also founded by mojuba head honcho don williams back in the days, and he recorded also tracks for pure plastic sublabel rewired, styrax and milnor modern. after a long hiatus sirko is now ready for some new action, so to reintroduce him to you we decided to put out some of his classic tracks as well as some unreleased bits! its quite hard to believe that these tracks are from about a decade ago, because they are still sounding fresh but also capture that little dirt and roughness which still remembers to the early years of clubbing!

the dream team return, another sinister slab from these amazing producers ! features trouser-flappin bottom-end mastered by the don, matt colton ! james ruskin and mark broom follow up their previous and serious selling outing (bp029 no time soon) with a stonking slab of the dark techno stuff ! if we are to reference this release then it perhaps could be likened to early surgeon or downwards titles with menacing riffs and destroyer basslines..... just fantastic

three brand new tracks from the mysterious arp 101! this is the producers second release on london based, but interstellarly connected, eglo records. his first release got the official dam funk stamp of approval, as well as gaining support from ramadanman, mary anne hobbs and falty dl. these three diverse productions, ooze with loose, low, funk, holding on to the bottom end whilst the clicks, pops and snares reach for the sky. stick em up!

canadas eddie c (jisco music, endless flight, sleazy beats, karat) with 4 new tracks for the sound of speed label! the 12inch starts with the disco track >migration< that has a solid mid tempo groove going with a break from a soul record. >keepin on< is on a mellow soul tip and reminds of dillas >donuts<. >give it to me< has an upbeat, guitar led groove with stompin drums and seductive soulful vox. >days like these< has organic chilled-out sounds going

!!vinyl only , ltd repress!!! yo hermeneutics! acid pauli (console, notwist, electronist) knows where the shoe pinches: we all need more soul. marvin is like these rare double groove vinyls, where two songs running parallel, (you may think oops the needle is hopping) well, in the middle of the tune the striation crosses, and then it ooze out soul and the sun rise

already huge supports by : laurent garnier, chloé, anthony collins, troy pierce, electric rescue, silicone soul, kolombo, frank kusserow, remain, apm001 ... in control on the fourth family n.a.m.e release, we have one of the founding members of the parisian crew get the curse, clément meyer took place on the electronic scene with dj sets that are as unstoppable as they are personnal. piece by piece chrystalises his passion for moist, misty and definitely techno atmospheres... simply inescapable these last two years, maetrik, the american producer exiled in spain forced upon us a style that is his own. a metallic, robotic and terribly dancefloor techno. a unique sound from which he pulls out the best during his firery lives. after signing the third family n.a.m.e released, the trio elagua are back. addressing piece by piece, they relieve a progressive remix

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

feats kenneth bager experiences >fragment 14 (naked music) - peter zohdy and mr chicago remix< and club mix. naked music is that catchy and instantly recognizable cut featuring children singing. these new remixes push it more towards the dancefloor. limited pressing.

well rounded are extremely excited to announce the imminent unleashing of the 2nd instalment in our r&b refix special series. ladies and gents - cash antics vol 2. this time round we bring you 4 separate artists take on remaking r&b in their own inimitable ways. first up deadboys >fireworks< edit has elicited a massive response already on forums and blogs, its simple house framework lending extra soul, gravity and impact to the beautiful vocals and piano. incredibly effective and affecting stuff. on track 2 gongon & bad autopsy (ptn / ramp) showcase their stripped back luminous garage informed sound on >mag (remix)<. the contrast between the bare bones beat, warm sub tones, hovering chords and earnest vocal make this a highly addictive tune. watch for future releases from these guys. flip the plate for skinnz and his steamy half-step selection >turn u on<. already a regular feature in deadboy dj sets, this wastes no time in seducing the listener with a breathless panting vocal riding a bumping beat, bouncing bass and sweaty synth work. this tune is hot and heavy! finally gatto viola & doc daneekas >backstabbin angie< wraps things up with nakedly emotional vocals riding a uk funky updated take on a classic 70s philly soul groove. a natural closer for a fantastically varied ep united with a common purpose - to drop honey-dipped r&b voices and vibes into the epicentre of new uk bass music fusions.

winter its a cold season. we still remember the beautiful summertime. holidays, beaches, cocktails & unforgettable sunsets. thats still in our minds. but dont worry. zdenko grbavac is bringing us these feelings back. his new ftw017 >aaevum ep< is the perfect memory. nice & warm chords with dreamy guitars let us lost in our thoughts. and no one else as chymera and the ftw homeboys morgenklang can supplement better this atmosphere with some brilliant remixes.

brand new zooloft, limited to 250 gold vinyl. these always sell out quick so pre-orders are advised. each copy is hand numbered & stamped.

real tone throw its sights today on shonky. after his amazing releases on spectral, crosstown rebels or contexterrior, freak n chics muse seduce real tone records with his velour ep and show us a new evidence these two visions merger. franck roger flavours it all with a boiling remix to which only he holds the secret, and that does the trick. if 2010 has seen the house scene reach an undeniable hegemony, 2011 will indisputably mark its zenith. support from josh wink, luciano, jamie jones, delano smith, deetron, sascha dive, reboot, jimpster, sebo k, tony lionni, djulz, mr v, culoe de song, seth troxler

the eerier child, a rotterdam-based producer, now releases 3 new tracks on his newly co-founded label black sunday recordings after previously releasing several successful tracks on labels mindtrick records and redrum recordz. in a still ongoing journey through various music styles, the eerier child found shelter in the bold realms of dubstep. in these very realms, he discovered a world where he could release his full power of fierce rhythms and colorful soundscapes drenched in an eerie atmosphere.

the diversity of the material here is unique as hidden ensures every inch of the techno spectrum is covered from deep, late night insanity to vintage detroit analog electronics for the rare release these days that is broad and well rounded. featuring remixes from franklin de costa (trapez), andrea ferlin (sleep is commercial), alland byallo (pokerflat/liebe detail) and andrew grant (barraca music).

after several hot tunes on worthy’s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke

belgian house mafia keeps up the dancefloor-pressure with these tracks by tim berg, norman doray & sebastien drums, erick morillo & eddie thoneick, bingo players and dabruck & klein and jean elan.

sea power & change is a pseudonym for seminal portuguese producer tiago, a multi-talented musician and dj with his attention split between many musical endeavors, this self-titled ep marking his departure into yet another territory. these are four melancholic songs, each independent in mood yet collectively bringing to life a beautifully vague array of contradictions. with sea power & change, tiago taps into our perverted subconscious, developing a cinematic approach by coupling tragic pianos with slow-motion basslines, slinky guitars against industrial drums and grandiose synthesizers over tropical percussion, all bathed in pornographic overtones

after numerous releases on labels like firm, crosstown rebels and trapez and 15 years of djing all over the world andré kraml debuts on 200 records. mercado de mexico is a trip to the latin american country. >mañana en el mercado en condesa< is a track with field recordings from a mexican market, which is spreading more and more to the absolutely unique andré kraml sound. >el cuclillo y el burro< is a sound journey par excellence from techno to a futuristic disco final. following the mexico concept of this ep, guadalajaras marco balcazar contributes a perfect club remix. >mercado de mexico< contains everything we await from techno these times: fresh and deep sounds, new ideas and tracks, which are eternal.

prompt has been producing electronic music since the mid 90s and during this time has made a string of outstanding eps, some of which have even won awards. but who exactly is this man from madrid: prompt? to stand on a stage and party for hours in his own world is not prompts style. he would rather sit in the background of his studio and create unforgettable and ever more fascinating tunes. his debut ep on highgrade set the tone for his convincing mix of sound design and subtle hooks. these are also the most important elements for his new highgrade release. in >sharing sounds< its all about deepness. expressed through dense loopy forests and deep broken valleys. you have to engage in the sound experience and see the world prompt has built for you. few other techno producers have such a distinctive style or unique voice. with this ep you could be blindfolded on the dance floor and you would still recognize the music. the sound will convince you once again, both in the club and on the turntables at home.

jan driver “gain reaction : you might know jan driver from his famous techno life in the 90ies or maybe for his label grandpetrol, his extraordinary skills in german folk music, high quality mixing for siriusmo, jesse rose and modeselektor or last but not least also from his wmc 2010 #1 hit “tellyfoam” which was featured on the bnr miami noize sampler. here is the first maxi of berlin multi-action-talent and friend jan driver, presenting a selection of 4 tracks including “gain reaction , a good fun heavy bass bleep champ, “cs40m , a slower powerful jam that creates an energetic build up of pink noise and 303 sounds for the very special atmosphere, >hornetbeef<, a tech-house at its best and >mecafunk<, darker techno, big sounds, the right track to close this magnificient production of these 4 tracks. what more do you need
