essential compilation! already played by sven väth, karotte, laurent garnier, jimpster,…. >grand cru< is a term used in the wine business and normally denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of both one wine-producing area and one vintage. the stylistic diversities featured on this compilation arent less refined and versatile. at the same time this compilation boasts of a representative selection of artists who already released on connaisseur as well as up-andcoming new members of our artist pool. this selection is the beginning of a periodical series which will be released on a yearly basis. apart from afrilounge coming along with an elegantly lowered house groove, another artist who has already released on connaisseur, surely jochen trappe will be setting the benchmark with his glitch-rock-tech track. there are more familiar faces to be encountered – for example daso teaming up with his ingenious partner pawas. they both make even the most lame couch potato taste their own very special beaujolais and freak out on the dancefloor - blood , sweat and tears!

in the early 20th century large parts of southeast japan were terrorised by mysterious gangs of highwaymen. these robbers called themselves the nagasaki nightriders and were the subject of many legends. at sunset rich industrials and landowners locked their doors and waited in fear. with an amazing speed the nightriders attacked and ransacked their targets. their incredible pace made people suspect they were in league with the devil. named after a medieval legend, the nightriders were supposed to fly through the sky on glowing he-goats

the cooperation between lindstrom and solale (aka isabel/christabelle) started in 2003 with the release of >music (in my mind)< as the second 12inch on feedelity. now finally they ve decided to do some more music together. this first single from the album that they re currently working on is a slow disco-number based on a 5 minute vocaljam (first-take is always best take…) together with a fat bass-arpeggio and some simple guitars/keys here and there. the lyrics doesnt necessarily pretend to be anything more than a >practise<, but is nevertheless quite good we think ! on the flip-side there s an amazing dub-workout that s given us from a friend that doesnt wanna reveal his identity

carnage is back with an amazing 5 tracker ep, troll and michael random from st.-petersburg/russia (fat-tm records) know to work powerful with their tools, and they are always remember where is the holy devil inside! huge stomping hard techno underground monsters! that´s a lot of powder for the bugs, definitely not for pussys. dj support by greg notill, andreas kremer, o.b.i., leo laker, mario ranieri

in the recent days the label spielzeug goes from strength to strength with releases coming from label boss thomas schumacher although they are receiving tons of demos every day…this fact shows how picky they are when it comes to releases! now an old friend of the label and long time techno activist returns to the bill: axel bartsch. as team with asem shama he produced most successful a few releases on spiel-zeug and at the same time he released 12inches on kompakt extra or sportclub.. and this is just a small excerpt of his vitae.. on spielzeug 40 his presents his renovated and fresh definition of techno with epic melodies, super functional drums and top notch bass inferno... not to be missed!

this ep is pure classic disco dj weapon. a side is from probably the best known disco group of all time, can you guess who? but forget those cheesy vocals! b side is truly classic sounds from 1780 and 1890! but they re beautiful and funky, whats to say? 126 bpm plus 95, and 89 bpm. watch the dancers all go crazy. music you just cant make on a laptop, and thats why its so good

the music is playful, ambitious, simple, complex, fun and melancholic and not at least. it is extremely animalistic. they have an album >animals< ready to drop in 2007. elephant s parade was played completely live with drum machines, synths and analogue sequencers. the duo like to record this way (compared to stuck infront of the computer) as they get more free in creating a specific and spontaneous feeling. here one might imagine a big gang of crazy elephants getting lost on a psychedelic parade. in the middle of the track things are getting a bit weird, perhaps too much amarulla fruit, which gives the second part its childish and naïve playfulness. on the flipside bird song has a dirty, noisy, trippy vibe with a little touch of basic channel sound. shake a tail feather !! played by anja schneider, karotte, tobi neumann, troy pierce, woody

the producers behind the hamburg based duo piemont are frederic möring-sack and christian de jonqueires. they have been releasing and playing under the name of phunklarique & dejonka since 2005.. here comes the second release under their newly formed artist name piemont

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

as adult records is presenting one fine funked up techno release after another, it was only a matter of time before they signed carl falk to the label. carl has built up quite a name for himself in a short period of time, with releases on labels such as hz trax, patterns, pirate audio, zync, mhx, relatives and more. on entry ep he brings his finest work yet, three fresh tribal techno cuts which will rock many dancefloors in the months to come

arturo has been championing the classiest nu disco sounds at his club miocuore in pescara, italy with guests like the idjut boys, stevie kotey, greg wilson, maurice fulton, joakim and alden tyrell and building the most loyal of followings.stevie kotey picked up his album on a recent gig there and the first single svolvaer is destined to take arturo around the world in a bear disco dub spaceship. svolvaer is aptly named after arturos favourite place in norway, a country that has been, in artists originally introduced by bear funk like lindstrom and prins thomas, a musical inspiration to him. arturo adds his own italian flavours though and even bear funk gold artist fabrizio mammarella was enlisted on the guitar lead flipside track rego dancer. its a family affair as they say, but you dont wanna mess with anyone from the capone family

the third output on gelbes billett musik from basel and again they deliver cool minimal funk with a little pop feeling in the c. walt tracks

bastian heerhorst and patrick meissner from hamburg, first met each other in the end of the 90s by their common love for graffiti. inspired by the hamburg night live, they decided very soon to work creatively together, also for their music productions. because of bastians long time experience in electronic music and the revolutionary development of the virtual instruments, the two guys were fast able to obtain quite dancable results, also with a small budget. begun with the rather modest possibilities of a 4-tracker on the amiga and the first live-acts with a groovebox, bastians liking to produce and to experiment with all possible styles grew. since also patrick came in contact with electronic music in hamburg s scene already early, it was somehow predetermined that in the future not only walls, but also dancefloors gonna be rocked. the project >heerhorst & meissner< was born and with kompass musik a label was found, which was courageous enough to publish the first tracks of duo…
