special tracks have a special story behind them.and this one certainly does. after mario & vidis recorded a couple of tracks with ernesto for their debut album changed they invited him to perform in their home country. during his short stay in lithuania ernesto performed two times and both times closed his set with a track called care. it was kind of a mash-up - swedish singer & songwriter was using lyrics of his old song to sing over metro areas classic caught up to a big effect - leaving the packed dance floors to a sing along to lyrical hook of sisters and brothers, smokers and lovers, care for me every time. big fan of metro areas sound vidis offered him to do a reversion of this mash-up using caught up as a reference and inspiration. the vocals were re-recorded, new arrangement was done, and the song was tested in the clubs as well as live on stage. so here it is - another big tune from the three to sing and dance along

we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.

after the two stunning tenenement yard albums on eye4eye, altered natives comes back on bosconi releasing another strong three tracker ep full of pagan and mythological inspiration called >the fates<. as the artist says, this ep was based on the moirae, the 3 greek/roman goddesses who controlled fate. the greek word moirae literally means a part or portion, and by extension ones portion in life or destiny. they controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal from birth to death, so each track as be named for each one of them.

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.

fur the texan, born bryce isbell, extracts minutiae with precision. his compositions, while airily sparse, are saturated with details plucked from broad of landscapes, whether they resemble the texan prairie or the expanses of industrial germany. isbells composite micro-samples are infinitesimal, soaked in breathless allusion and divorced from their context. the crisp, insistently percussive arrangement oscillates like metal shavings manipulated by an unseen magnet. fur has untraditionally tapped into a eu techno mind-meld, a berlin thought-stream. after his early work with neon indian’s alan palomo as ghost hustler, isbell dove deep into minimal sounds that transported listeners closer to inner city detroit than the mid-west. unos first fur ep cocoon follows several years of isbell silence. after a notable debut with lefse, fur submerged below a sea of techno and came up with a deep analog style that has acquired fans in fred p and firecracker records with twisting house like >knots<. a second part in the fur saga on the way, uno has faith this young westerner will be putting a big texan stamp on the house scene to come.

deep house mestro nacho marco joins forces with sais and fabiani and together they are dropping a balearic house stormer (with a certain jan hammer influence). although they keep the things simple the track relentlessly grows during its whole length to full effect. ooft! is on the remix duties. he speeds up the track, so the purist can call it house without suffering, and he does a great job while doing it, taking the whole thing into deeper territories.

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

formed somewhere in the 5th dimension, acid mondays is the cosmic coalition of fellow psychonauts negghead and lex wolf. brought together by their love for fat beats, inter dimensional travel & cups of tea, they are on a never-ending journey exploring inner and outer space. expect altered states of hallucinogenic house and reality bending techno. it would be a cliché to say they have a great future, but they’ve been there and beyond and have returned to the now to do it all again…

bodi bill - what remixes (apparat & thomalla) in 2011, there was no way to get around bodi bill - and it will continue in 2012. right on time for summer, the band releases two exciting remixes of their hit-single what on their own label krakatau. luminary apparat and young talent thomalla have chosen the smoothest and breeziest track of the album to rework it with verve and experimentiveness. the tracks differ considerably, and yet there are parallels between both artists: they share a vision, an affinity for progressiveness and audible enthusiasm in each track. apparat - who released his very successful album the devils walk in 2011 - breathes autumnal coolness and depth into this summery number.the result is thrilling, unexpected and spine-tingling. thomalla also rejects construction kit primetime-techno and shows his remarkable talent in two very unlike versions of what. with his overwhelming desire to experiment and discover, he created tracks to dance to, that move beyond the typical minimum radius. this record gathers pop and electronic avant-garde: the record-label and artists wanted to fathom the boundaries of rhythmics and harmony - and they clearly succeeded. here, two exceptional musicians show their vision of electronic dance music, enthralling, fascinating and exciting!

in the beginning god created the bass drum. he made it beat 8.601 days. then he left it away. god said: death is the greatest work of art. and its expensive. finally infinite. thats politics and science and art. the art of omission. the art of refusal. death is absolute. the bass drum is absolute. do you want the absolute bass drum? if you manage to convince him, god will be happy to lend you his axe, because what happens is what he wants. just like the people. they want it to happen, too. the most expensive work of art in the world is a skull encrusted with 8.601 diamonds.

the rebirth of cool m=minimal is pleased to release a masterpiece of the early 21st century on vinyl. till the old worlds blown up and a new one is created is an outstanding work of reductionism and minimalism. martin brandlmyar ( radian / trapist / kapitalband 1 ), werner dafeldecker ( polwechsel, david sylvian, autistic daughters) and christian fennesz ( touch / mego / thrill jockey ) on this record created a new kind of cool jazz coupled with a big portion of new york school ( cage, feldman, brown und wolff). its hard to describe the music with words. this work reveals his secrets only after listening to it a couple of times. it grows with each time you listen to it. in this work, silence and noise are never used as an end in itself. as equal parameters they stand in the composition that also has space for some tonal >flower<. our recommended listening time is – round about midnight.

he works of conrad schnitzler will always be important. not only for m=minimal. ricardo villalobos and max loderbauer were so fascinated by the zug that they immediatly accepted to deliver two reshapes of this milestone of electronic music. (we already released zug on vinyl - mm-001lp) max loderbauer is a veteran of the berlin techno scene, who became known with his project >sun electric<. for his current project nsi and as a member of the >moritz von oswald trio< max loderbauer enjoys a worldwide reputation. his great cooperation with ricardo villalobos, for the legendary ecm label, appears in many >best of 2011< lists. richardo villalobos is one of the leading techno dj / producer / musicians. he influenced the scene for more than 15 years. the >aktion< mix targets with 100 percent certainty on the dance floor, but is also suited to wake you up in the morning. djs need this twenty minute mix as a tool. burner. the >sorgenkind< mix is not for the mainfloor but for fans of the broken beats. everybody who enjoyed the re-ecm work of the two will love this 15 minutes mix. schnitzler / loderbauer / villalobos = dreamteam

when the house music phenomenon was beginning, chicago djs like ron hardy and new yorkers such as frankie knuckles and larry levan would edit records for their own purposes, removing the parts they felt to be superfluous, concentrating instead on extending grooves and hooks, often adding their own basic synth lines and toughening up the percussion with what have now become classic synthesizers and drum machines. warehouse classics vol.1 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularised at the music box and rarely heard anywhere else. sir leon greg (another incarnation of perseus traxx) jams out then reinforces some edits of forgotten classics with a raw & personal analogue treatment for a devastating full effect on the dance floor, that is a far cry from the proliferation of over-produced squeaky-clean software edits. these are basic, raw ideas thrown down quickly and capturing the energy on 1/4 inch tape before moving on to the next set of sounds. musically, its as delightfully funky and uncomplicated as youd expect, a mesh of disco tracks and heavy, effect laden, machine-funk. essential item!!

above machine is a record label run by steve lee (the project club). seconds is the alter ego of markus enochson and luciano leiva. together with singer linus lutthi they deliver >another day< which is a breezy, balearic affair with the solemn moodiness of nick drake. it is reminiscent of late end-of-summer days when time seems to stand still, but in the most bittersweet of ways. remixes are provided by lexx - who once again adds that subtle disco blend whilst drinking an estrella at the beach bar. the seahawks dive deep and provide an ambient masterpiece, which lures you deeper into their crazy world of delays, reverb and a studer a80 running backwards in a shoreditch broom cupboard.

the >taste the difference ep< from the excellent slidebar records dishes up something unique where modern techno is concerned. axel sohns the label founder expressed how he wants to mix up the old and new styles of techno and give people back a sound that quite simply makes you not only want to dance and leaves you thinking >how the fuck did they make that sound<

borrowed language returns with their second release this year, and the second collaborative effort to date from chicago-based producer/dj jeff pietro & label owner israel vines. following jeff pietros future classic >still< (charted by surgeon, peter van hoesen, silent servant, and many others) and justin iveys exemplary >apparition bay< (which won favor by the likes of rob hall and dj pete) was never going to be an easy task, but vines & pietro prove that they are more than up to the challenge – this is perhaps an even stronger statement of intent than their earlier joint effort, >distance no object< (blx-2).

big with:ernesto ferreyra, the mole, akufen, vincent lemeuix.. inspired by classic disco and electro, dkmd have already produced several dance music tracks, using old and new technology in order to come up with a unique sound which pays homage to their predecessors without sounding pastiche. echoes of giorgio moroder and donna summer can be felt throughout on the other side, while the playful and sensual taxi cab recounts the familiar story of an early morning phone call received by a girl in a cab, on her way home from a pleasurable night out. perhaps it is their experience playing together as improvisers that adds a special touch to their dance music,as they have grown accustomed to perform almost every element in their tracks using hardware intruments and effect boxes.in addition to their disco project,the two have a considerable track record as experimentalists and the dark,cosmic and mysterious androide is a good example of some of their output in the genre.even though dkmd are only at the beginning of their dancefloor adventures,they show no signs of stopping,and when asked what comes next,they will likely answer

with the beautiful melodic sensibility of borais synth lines meshing with octobers jacking body beats, they fuse to create 2 sublime slices of warm, deep, but propulsive blends of slo-mo house, techno, & bass. >i didnt mean to< has a detroit techno soul feel with bukem style bass stabs and rainforest jungle ambient noises, whilst >palmarosa< is a sure-fire set starter, taking its time to build with cavernous bass stabs adding drama until the heads down jacking ensues.

the byrds were one of the earliest groups who could combine the best of two worlds. they caught on to the energy of the british invasion and combined it with the lyricism & musical elements of the contemporary folk movement.
along the way they pioneered psychedelic and country rock, always keeping things recognizable with their vocal harmonies accompanied by their jangly guitars.
on their third album >fifth dimension< from 1966 they started showing a more lsd-tinged side of themselves with the psychedelic rock of songs such as >eight miles high< and >i see you< and a preference for the indian raga.

fresh out of melbournes reputed house scene, the tortoise is one of the hottest talents to emerge from the current wave of house breaking down under. a side the puffing tortoise captures the 21-year-olds precocious talent and aims it squarely at the peak time. working his trademark airy vocals around a familiar disco refrain and bubbling bass, he works the track into a sweaty climax and skilfully keeps it there throughout the midsection. turning in a late night chugger on their remix, berlin based canadians the mole and hreno ride an insistent pulse and insect like percussion. twisting the samples, they guide the track into a dark jungle of chattering sounds to temper the tortoise youthful exuberance. the analogue melancholy of keep on keepin on is all in the sweeping synths and twinkling effects. recoiling the tension, the chicago influenced track seeps through the speakers and will sound as good at home as it will during specially chosen dancefloor moments. rondenion approaches the title track with fearless disregard for the original, combining the swelling tortoise sound with something entirely his own. his addition of a funk fuelled midsection, really breaks the track down and adds another slice of character to an ep already brimming with it.

keeping up their ethos of dancefloor >edits with the love left in< hmd bounce back on a1 with monster from their 3rd compilation. never before released as a 12 inch and much in demand from djs who have heard it in hmd sets, its a whole horse meat disco original track laid out underneath the original vocal acapella. playable peak time or at the end of the night its as deep as disco gets! on b1 a majestic and imperial take on a classic one more time the hmders push the way too short original track and lengthen it into a luscious, euphoric anthem. hmd take all responsibility for end of the night spontaneous dancefloor hug-ins. on b2 the boys have taken the squelchy synths of a real underground track and turned up the intensity that they felt seem to disapated in the original. keeping the vocals pretty much as they are including all the whoops and yelps that make the track so exciting hmd have stayed true to the original but have just given it the horse meat touch. a bit of added percusion and a whole lotta love.

from gui borattos latest album iii comes >this is not the end<, an indie minded track that convincingly demonstrates guis impressive skill set when it comes to emotional narratives embedded in a distinctively monumental context. like his timeless >beautiful life< and last years album highlight >destination: education< (already remixed to perfection by terranova and tale of us), >this is not the end< features the beautiful vocals of luciana villanova, who seems to know exactly what makes gui tick - which doesnt come as a surprise, as they are married – and possesses this rarest of all gifts, an unique voice that seems to address each listener personally. in his own 2012 mix featured here, gui doesnt so much concentrate on the originals tearjerking qualities (which were already fully formed), but streamlines the arrangement for ease of use on the floor of your choice, making the track even more refined and addictive. those of you looking for a slighty more adventurous approach will find their satisfaction with michael mayers rework on the flipside, where the source materials hypnotic qualities are brought to the fore, resulting in a masterful slice of catchy prime time psychedelica. with both mixes turning out to be instant classics, we can definitely confirm that this is not the end.
