after several months of underground pressure the orbital classic kinetic by golden girls (paul & phil hartnoll along with mike hazell) is finally getting a full release. one of the most ecstatic rave stabs ever is at the heart of this record and has now been reworked for 09 dancefloors by floorplay music - the label run by hot brighton production duo prok & fitch. the story began a year ago with prok & fitchs golden shower remix. instead of going down the bootleg or cover route they paid their dues and licensed the original track for their new label floorplay and set about getting some hot names to remix it. top of the pile is atfc who takes the original and gives it a tough house makeover. this man has been responsible for a few classic records of his own over the years so this combination is unstoppable. with the original orbital mix included this is an all time classic tastefully revisited.

second vinyl version of the cd album with more magical works of unit moebius. including the funking >beat that perculator< re-arranging >i beat that bitch with a bat<, >its time for the perculator< and >the pressure cooker< into a totally dirty twisted the hague jack track! the flip side contains the more deeper side from their first releases. for those who were there in those years 91/ 92/ 93, at the famous parties in the hague and rotterdam, this is a walk down memory lane, for those to young or living in other parts of the world... imagine these tracks in a dark, very dark sweaty basement with only strobe light and smoke machines, camouflage nets, and jacking acid and techno sounds for more then 10 ours. djs such as i-f, serge, schmerzlabor, peter ptau ptau and live acts such as unit moebius played the hottest and freshest music all night long until you lost your sense of time and place and ended in a total mind trip. the pure essence of house and techno! the golden years.

after a recent remix for andrea parker and work with the palette all-stars, justin maxwell returns after a 2 year solo absence bringing us two monster tracks that make up for lost time.

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

tom dazing is an upcoming artist from brussels who has released on mb selektions, heimatmelodie, coincidence, veryverywrongindeed and toysforboys already and with his new ep >black magic< releases his debut on trapez. tom has a powerful production technique and a cool old school appeal which he fuses with modern sound design. his new release features >divulge< and >cable strap< two peak time techno trax with a heavy 303 bassline that will rock all big floors. >divulge< the a-side is destined to be a berghain hit. the track is a monster. its attitude is down to earth... keeps it simple but effective. >cable strap< on the flipside is a new modern version of music that we believe used to be the post chicago sound manifested by robert armani and friends. >cable strap< is a super cool heavy rocker with a siren sound that will turn clubs upside down, joined by delicate use of 303 basslines. >temper< the digital bonus track has more of an atmospheric deep feeling to it! tom has been voted in belgium in the top 10 chart of the best national producers in 2007 and 2008 and was voted into the to chart top 10 national live acts

killer 2 track ep with anthemic detroit / techhouse

bekeschus is a new project in eintakts artist portfolio. the brothers benjamin and sander present here their first release called >dieser moment<. this ep is a combination of moody electronic styles containing 4 tracks floating between deep, dub, and dirty. the songs connect modern music-to-the-floor with timeless sounds and arrangements that both touch inside and move forward. sound inspirations derive from numerous movements of pre and post millennium artificial sound scapes. especially, early club sessions in berlin since 2000 shaped the brothers view and interpretation of the input and output of electronic culture. >dieser moment< stands for an audiophile time document of their development, and at the same time awareness of >this moment<.in the year 2000 the brothers started to engage their selves in djing...

your know you are doing something right when greg wilson comes knocking at your door for some disco edit action. such is the life now for croation nu disco gem ilija rudmen. after a series of releases on labels rong, infant and deep freeze, bearfunk were quick to grab dance disorder and wasted no time in asking their studio neighbours faze action to step up. their synth bass, low slung and sleazy remix, with a dose of their trademark strings hits the spot. this sits snuggly with ilijas original which mixes in real bass and guitar with his analog heavy funk laden grooves.

time to look busy again, as function aka dave sumner comes rampaging through the streets of downtown berlin, kicking aside lesser producers and mauling all who stand in his way. not that you would know it from the supremely controlled affair that is his edit of >variance<. moody in the extreme, this edit sees beautiful interplay between delays and reverbs but without the track sinking into the predictable mire of dub techno. space is indeed the place..

first vinyl pressing of twin infinitives since the original vinyl issue in 1990. after moving to san francisco, royal trux released the highly experimental double album twin infinitives. this album remains an extreme work on the periphery of rock music, worthy of being compared to lou reeds metal machine music and suicides debut album. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high brow allusions, twin infinitives nearly reeks of vice, a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery.

played by: ricardo villalobos, sebo k, brothers vibe, loco dice, dj deep (deeply rooted), karotte, nick curly and more... !!after the last fantastic release on fumalab we now make a stop in southern america – to be precise: in santiago de chile. there is a lot going on in chiles electronic music scene and dj felipe valenzuela is one of the agitators of the night in santiago de chile with one foot in latin america and the other one in the old continent. he is a fresh, young, and talented producer. we will hear a lot from him in the future … he took piano lessons for a long time and his first producer steps started in 1995. felipe is a dj since 2002. he organized small underground parties in santiago de chile shortly after he travelled to europe, especially spain. from this experience, great alliances have been created with bookings and excellent agencies. >alicante< is a spherical and hypnotic track which takes you on a journey through chile. there are spoken words in combination with a dreamy chorus and typical sounds from latin america. alicante evolved from a team work as rockit-f. this is felipe valenzuela together with fernanda diaz. >dive< is a percussive, mental track with sound snatches ranked together with a very special feeling. its a long trip – call it a lesson into rhythm and drums. the music kicks you discreet the whole time. >dive< emerged from collaborating with felipe venegas. hes also known from releases on immigrant
