san fran producer john howard comes with wiggling, rolling snare-driven beats with mad percussive sounds bouncing in and out, a moody chord that cuts through like a knife, sparkling synth sounds on top and cut-up vocal snippets.. the b side is a favourite for derrick carter fans..

here we go with another wicked release of eric sneo on his label beatdisaster records. to continue the style of his famous hit record >ciao bella<, he chose another well known sample from the 80s, which is processed through several filters and effects. stephen hawking delivers the voice and title >black hole<, explaining some conclusions of his theory...

legendary series to be continued with 2 acts from the uk. first >cool cuts< releases have been much in demand, and peeps are still trying to get hold of them - if you are lucky! a side is a brilliant track by the b-siderz - in the vein of some more proper house sounding stuff with nice sublime guitars struggling their way thru 2 big breaks complemented with an pushing b line and sophisticated acid sounds in between. other side is our beloved ma saski from manchester with an already massive electro tinged primetime stomper. the guys from the >tribal gathering< camp play around with some b lines emphasising those little but most effectual breaks through a wicked male poetry. mind you, that tune goes on and on without getting lame - dj linus always starts his sets with that tune - big!

2003 classic i cube release taking you on a journey through different styles of electronic music a must have

a wicked full vocal soulful cut featuring the vocal talents of uk diva kele le roc following up the massive lesson learnt which was released late last year through us osiris also includes undergrounddub on the flip produced with assistance from karizma

beluga on the a-side is a an exciting mixture of old school house elements paired with pumping modern electronic house sounds jacked up with sophistication, perhaps hence the name >beluga<? >strobe< on b1 is an hypnotizing minimal loopy groove-monster and >u-bahn< on b2 takes you on a ride through the berlin tube system. your sound wagon passes several break stations, soundwise and figuratively. gui chose this name because it reminds me of the movement of an u-bahn while in berlin 7 years ago

bounding out from her hard techno roots, misstress barbara takes off in this new release, showcasing her love for all that is good music. refusing the standard one-genre-one–sound that most djs get pushed into, she walks over her own boundaries and treads off into the world of other genres. while stripping away the hard driven beats her fans relate her name to, she moves through an electro funk tech-house and minimal spell, throwing in her usual floor hitter that she will never really leave behind. with her new release >come with me…<, misstress barbara brings you two fresh tracks that.. dance floor go crazy.

>short life< is a so to say old-school-hook with all those beautiful chicago-sounds, rolling over the clubfloor and absolutely done by a djs mind. on the flipside >dirty hairy< is walking late at night through sin-city, strolling around with some spooky sirens and at least there is no nites end… …for the likes of villalobos…supported by luciano, m.a.n.d.y., ali schwarz, tom clark & woody !!!

we are proud for this repress !!! the album preview ep is claude vonstroke s long awaited follow-up to last summer s smash, >deep throat< which sold through 7 pressings and is still selling strong. claude vonstroke is positioned for an explosion this year and his debut album, >beware of the bird< will be the catalyst. on the a - >the whistler< is detroit booty meets jiminy cricket, a memorable hook that sticks to your shoes long after you ve left the club. it has already generated complete mania at the biggest parties in san francisco and now has big international support from the uk crowd like damian lazarus and nic fanciulli

already played by karotte, an exciting 3-track ep. the a-side >cinematique< starts with a dark bass and a special rave-line, which leads you through the whole track. banging claps and sharp hihats makes this track a good choice for ecstatic moments on the dancefloor. the b-side boasts >praymantis<, a track reminiscent of old 808 state tracks, but stripped down to modern and soulful acid house. the second track on the b-sdie is >domina< which rounds up this versatile ep and has this special oldschool house feeling of releases on hibias or from don carlos from the beginning of the 90s. a smart and relaxed journey from clubs peak time to smart afterhour sessions

summerheadz working from the bottom of my heart into a funky house track that is spreading an uplifting and sunny feeling through the bumpin groove the flipside features helicopters from the tarantualaz which is basically the backing track from the stevie wonder reworking enriched with spacey keys

the danish born producer and dj christian bloch, actually living in san francisco (usa),is well known for his releases on simple muzik, deep night essentials, ll records, tresor records, reconstructed records and on funque droppings (bloch s own label). his edits of two tracks of plastikman s >closer< album and sean deason s >the shit< brought him a great reputation as remixer, too. his musical style ranges from berlin dub through classic detroit beats to english minimalism

classics part one !!! the advent brought thirteen releases into existence through kombination research !!!

following january s sampler 12inch, headspace releases we are the ones we ve been waiting for, a 12-track album of the finest modern techno music. from powerful floor-burners to mellow, laid-back grooves, this is an album at home on the headphones as pumping through a big system. deeply rooted but never backward-looking, dan s sound is as relevant today as it has ever been - and it displays a confidence and maturity few contemporary techno producers can match

the man who along with long-time partner alan braxe has risen through the ranks to become one of the pivotal masterminds in the gallic house movement steps out alone for his debut release (albeit aptly assisted by fellow defender partner savage on the double-a side cut). the midtempo >omega man< opens proceedings and is clearly cut from the same cloth that linus loves used to fashion >the terrace< - a stevie nicks parody that will similarly be used as a musical bed for tv shows all year long. >wait for love< meanwhile is rich in parisian charm - filters set to maximum and compression on extra high - warm, melodic, simple and yet highly complex and distinctly french-sounding making this another bass throbbing must-have purchase

1st time ever on 12inch , the huge michael jackson sampling >lust< which appeared on thomas album from bush . huge filtered tech disco with that massive sample etched the whole way through. includes the >base twelve mix< the flip.

big city music has this very special hip-shaking beat construct. the track just starts with one hihat, one short shaker, dry claps paired with two simple lead sounds. one of them repeating itself until the end and one to be morphed up and down, increasing and decreasing all the time. an exciting journey through changing tone lengths and different faces of at least one melody. on the flip side you find >asanebo<, another unique smasher. again this funky groove, but the sound surrounding comes a bit more spheric and mystic. an excellent track to loose yourself on the floor

aka troy pierce (minus), enemy love ( cover y our face ) is a collection of dark eerie and sometimes twisted minimal techno tracks. all the tracks sit together in a similar v ein, but all shine indiv idually and the album walks the ambigious line between dancef loor hits and af ter hours jams. tunes like the anthemic grace (anxiety ) with its almost post-punk v ocal and hy pnotic, twangy melody is sure to send dancef loors ov er the edge. ref lected and leav ing take y ou down a darker path of introspection with the help of gibby millers dark, brooding v ocals. this album will push and pull y ou through a tripped-out laby rinth of sounds, sad and heavy-hearted at times powerful and full of grace others

the young gun is back and is # 1 with a bullet. after his fabulous circle pit ep. the much talked about newcomer mathias kaden is putting his money where his mouth is with this monster ep. the pentaton ep is another twisted rumble through dark and bleepy terrain. this time mathias steps up the swing and shuffles you furiously around the room like a drunk sailor on a sinking ship. deep bleep to move the most hardened partyier. check!

it should be indicative of how big or influencial a genre is becoming when you start getting dubstep records from sweden probably one of the least grimey countries on this planet apart from issues of genre politics musically this ep has got nothing lesser in comparison to its uk counterparts its dark dirty and not shy to pile up those bass frequencies and its hard not to notice those arabic undertones going on through the whole record (sb)

big bass, big drums, big breaks, big everything! huge melodies growing and running through the tracks..

'voyager' perfectly takes you through different phases of tension and release starting with a irresistible build-up where just the distortion of a simple chord raises the electricity topped for even more intensity by frantic hi-hat action in jazz-drumming style. for 'sucre' he teams up once again with qzen who already refined 'sweat' on pokerflat and 'paranoia' (palette034) and gives another alluring performance with understated, teasing spoken words over this gliding, liquid cut. whos the sugar daddy now?

a colourful music mixture with groovy minimal and poplike experimental song where the familiar experiments of clicking snippets of niklas meet the cheeky, demanding and dreamy lyrics from eva's notebook. just from first brief listen 'close up' is even stronger than expected, dapayks sound is even thicker , intense and more worked out than with his recent singles, eva's voice is even more beautifully blissed and see through , the lyrics more refined. a grown up and thrillingly versatitle 'real' album project, 3 of the 8 tracks are definite and extremely rocking floor anthems

this ep winds through a broad mixture of styles - from instrumental hip-hop to moodymann-esque jazz house, and rolling tech-house - showing vincenzo's versatility as a producer…and a healthy open-minded attitude to music. vincenzo ragone is a resident of barcelona. he lives in the same building as both techno lord cristian vogel, and a former a-ha producer….but his own music belongs somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.

by lance desardi also known as landshark. this time out, under the moniker tiburon he throws you down into the darkest corners of his heavily stretched imagination. the rawest drum patterns and grittiest electro basslines back up by nastily distorted vocals hinting at the possibilty of an increasingly tortured escape. if you have escaped side a unscathed, head straight for the flip for a funkier driving instrumental mission. keep your hands on the wheel for this one though as there are plenty of sharp turns and curves leading you through a state of profound unconsciousness, coma
