well 20 catalogue numbers and three ôthe cheapersö releases later, our ruede hagelstein dares to perform a solo dance on upon you. in this case- a chair dance. the name ôreise nach jerusalemö stands for the game moving chairs that ruede still remembers from his east german child hood.the principles of the track will be recognized by those who know the game. to all others the a1 side will appear to be a mean techno pusher. ôaron habritö also surprises the inclined listener with unexpected curves of tension but still remains on the house ground of reality and digs like ôlevithanö towards the thick underbrush of pre-christian mythology that ruede seemed to in any way have heard of in one of those brandenburg kibbuzes. shalom!

after three digital-only releases polytone switches to vinyl and has signed new tracks from andreas heiszenberger for its first 12 inch release. heiszenberger has enjoyed great success last year with his release on brut! and links to the atmosphere and beat structure of his predecessor here. for polytone heiszenberger also relies on cool syncopated grooves and his heavy trademark beats as well as abstract pads which mingle with sweet harmonies and his laconic vocal snippets.the record is crowned with a great remix by popnoname who has just scored a hit with his new album on italic. of course, popnoname leaps at heiszenbergers harmonies, but also comes up with a really big surprise in the middle of the remix! cool, well-rounded record and a strong start of the vinyl business for polytone.

after the inclusion of crushed by actress on the most recent prime numbers ep, we return with three tracks from one of our favourite contemporary producers. ghosts have a heaven is a heavily stripped down, minimally constructed piece built on a heavyweight kick drum whilst given movement and accentuated by filtered synth washes and sub bass which change subtly throughout the track. side 2 is taken by two tracks from the actress debut full length release on his own werk discs. hazyville is a twisted piece of electro funk expertly compressed and crackling with static energy. superb locking & popping lace the track sounding something like the avant gardism of subway theme from the wild style o.s.t pushed confidently into 2009. ext up redit 124 provides a deep clipped jackin groove with a glitchy feel. the beats are worked & moulded along with fizzing synths and jerky keys to produce a quality hybrid of sounds with its own idiosyncratic style firmly in place.

markantonio s analytic trail label has been instrumental in creating what is now recognized as the neapolitan techno sound. strongly influenced by their house roots, the labels inventive approach has seen them feature the likes of rino cerrone, valentino kanzyani, the advent, davide squillace and paco osuna. analytic trails its what i like series of ep s has previously featured cuts from a mixture of household names (joy kitikonti, the advent,valentino kanzyani) as well as unearthing some of techno s most exciting new talent. this latest ep focuses on three new names who are making waves with their music. already an emerging name within the naples scene thanks to his work for labels like glowbox and capsula, francesco gemelli typifies the sound of italy with a driving goodtime romp through an array of rubbery tonal synths and acidic bass croatian, vladimir acic has forged a strong reputation playing alongside the techno greats at exit and impressing umek enough to snap up his productions. here he shows why with a fast paced trip through warped flickering tech moods mark morris completes the trio on show on this ep. choosing a style that sits between funked up tech and wobbly minimalism, play with me retains a strong identity with italian techno via a funky bassline but adds a linear restrained vibe.

first release for this new italian label, who claim to bring techno back to its top level. we re inclined to agree with those sentiments, as are the others who have received promos of the release. the a side consists of two deep and dark techno tracks, that should also find favour with more minimal djs. they are apparently by a popular northern european artist, going under the guise of ????. the label has kept such a secret that we dont even know who it is. on the b side, we have a soz adams (esperanza, archipel, gumption) remix of label head obtane and fris, which is a retro chicago style excursion, and german duo sebastian herre and obscure close the ep with a more detroit techno inspired track.

killer three tracker with hypnotic disco edits from elusive artist casinoboy. massive feedback from all major new disco jocks.

after a recent guest performance on seuil’s eklo label, michael melchner - the young producer and dj from nuremberg - is back with another stunning ep for cargo edition. melchner is the resident-dj of the ‘kiss klub“ party series at nuremberg’s famous club ‘die rakete’, and music aficionados will have had their eye on this up-and-coming artist for a while now. this time around michael melchner dishes up three top-notch house tracks for us. “you understand“ is techhouse at its best, where he deftly holds and rides that balance between deepness and the dancefloor. a continously forward-pushing bassline is combined with a mysterious vocal sample and restrained breaks. „wooob“ grabs you with its devastatingly simple rhythm, while the bassline cuts through with a high dose of funk. topping the track off we have a vocal loop that shows off michael’s affection to the musical beginnings of house. this ties in nicely with the ep closer »just a skip« which reminisces over the sound of chicago. profound melodies, skillfully arranged vocal samples and a whole heap of soul suggest that michael melchner may just have produced a modern house classic. so again, just like on his first ep for cargo edition in may last year, michael melchner has managed to paint a musical portrait combining the present and the past into one classic moment.

daniel steinberg continues to have great sucess on labels such as microfon, grandpetrol and stylerockets and is also the main representative for front room recordings. with his last e.p, featuring >keep on movin< and >dont you know?<, enjoying such widespread sucess we thought we should call upon the remix skills of roman flügel and siopis for this release. roman has been artistically active sine the 1990s with his own labels playhouse, ongaku musik and klang elektronik contributing some of the best house around throughout the years. his remixes for the likes of pet shop boys, human league, primal scream and kylie minogue have garnered him a worldwide recognition and now he delivers in true style to front room. siopis, fresh from his get physical release >penny from the lane<, has also recently remixed mr. static which has further pushed his name into the international dance music vocabulary. his work can also be spotted on some of the most prominent labels like get physical, bpitch control and crosstown rebels to name a few. three quality remixes making one brilliant e.p that maintains front room at the top of its game.

on side a: markus homm, mihai popoviciu and jay bliss. three sophisticated artists with releases on highgrade, imigrant and foundation records. this magical trio created this funky, deep house track for us, which brims over with groove and energy. on side b we are ver happy to welcome a newcomer, who is going to be listened to a lot soon. felx feygin grew up in brooklyn new york, and still lives there. about himself he says: äone day i fell in love with jazz, then we got married and had little deep house babies.ô when you listen to this track, you will know what he means! and if that was not already enough, there is a fantastic ôdop -remix. they are responsile for the fresh sound made in france, and brought us a lot of joy with there releases on circus company. and because this trio is something special, the boy sang some lines of the text for this remix themselfes. the outcome is genuine and we are very happy

the follow-up to last years deep in need, the haunting me ep brings three new soulful and sleazy tracks from dirty bee. since house has been a buzzword for the last year or two, old-timer dirty bee shows the kids that its possible to give a shout-out to the old school, while still finding plenty of room for innovation. the title track, featuring bees friend luther on vocal duties, brings a paranoid vibe that crescendos with fluttering chimes and a baltimore breakdown. on the flipside, things get a bit filthy with out of body: pounding bass with conga accents keep the tempo, while a drunken, off-kilter saxophone solo tries to find its way home. finally, the snarling, electrified bounce of work for me closes out the ep. spread the house gospel!
