superb new ep from chris carrier with jazz paterns & old school influence. played by dj sneak, kreon, dyed soundorom, dan ghenacia, djulz, italoboys, jt donalson, mark farina, luciano...

rezkars fascination with music began with his parents record collection. listening to local radio stations as a child, he heard 80s tracks. as an adult he discovered the magic of 60s and 70s jazz and funk. one day, his cousin played a track that he immediately fell in love with. he later learned that this was house music. he discovered the fruity loops sequencer software and thought, why not try to make my own tracks, after all, it cant really be that hard? deep house can sound deceptively simple. its a bit like japanese anime, rezkar says. it looks so cute and easy to draw, but try to actually draw it, and you will discover its even harder than realistic drawings. the thing about house is that if you try too hard it can come across as being very cheesy, but then again, if you dont do enough it can sound incomplete. finding the balance is not easy, rezkar admits. after hearing his music, one finds that he is learning this lesson quite well.

the pump ep is a typically genre-bending mixture of pumping, groovy house tracks, exploring the many sides of this highly regardedproducers fruitful repertoire. lead track the pump is a vivacious number that takes a clean, modern house aesthetic as a base and later infuses it with a dirtier, earlier morning vibe, with phoniques playful use of the resplendent chord stabs. its a slow burner indeed, and yet another example of his effortless arrangement talents. fancying a spot of fresh air and a trip into the audio countryside, bike ride is an even more playful journey into the kooky electronic world of phoniques studio outings. solid drums and warm sub bass provide the energy for all manner of pops and tweaks to unfold. its another deeper track but be warned it still has the power to lift a crowd up onto its tip-toes. going down more of a techno route, tooltime completes the package and breaks out the big guns for some serious heads down dancefloor ignition. urgent and tight late night action, not for the faint of heart, the tracks title is too modest - it should really read ‚ peak time

follow up to the massive speed up on defected dutch bad boy funkerman is back with rene amesz mixes too.

after his huge >pepper exchange vol. 1<, anton zap is back with more spicey house music. moscows finest offers 4 warehouse esque deep house groovers and proves that without a shadow of a doubt hes one who you need to keep close tabs on. on quintessentials 05, anton keeps his >pepper exchange< style: stripped back, & raw! its pure, back to its roots simple groove quality which works so well with anton zaps new 12inch. but like a lot of antons music, deep atmospherics play a big part and this is why his music has that standout from the rest feel. its not often that you come across a ep where all the tracks are playable, but even less often where all the tracks make you step back and appreciate them much more than you normally would. essential house music for those looking for the simple soul filled stripped back house feel

killer tribal house action , for electr fans too... incl rmxs by victor magan, grgor salto, dons...

electric arguments is the first fireman album in 10 years, and this song based album couldnt be more different than its predecessors. for those who dont know by now, the fireman is a collaborative project between music icon paul mccartney and revered producer youth. the pair first worked together in the 90s when they made two ambient dance albums. originally the firemans identity was anonymous and was eventually revealed by the press as being paul and youth. in september it was announced that the fireman would this year release their first brand new material in a decade and this time there was a big difference - the duo had found their voice. speculation began, one studio insider was reported as saying the new songs sounds like arcade fire meets led zeppelin. certainly so far, anyone who has already heard the album has commented on just how accessible electric arguments is, compared to the first two fireman albums. this album is an eclectic and diverse collection of songs that show paul is still interested in pure musical possibilities. each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. the fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. the project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

amazing disco boogie holy grail was released on tim mabins own sapphire imprint back in 1984. because of the fact that tim was forced to work with a limited budget, he only could press up 500 copies, just a few copies were exported out of the country. this became a real crate diggers treasure, changing hands for $100 and more. we are really proud to offer you this official re-issue. jimmy jam is a true dance floor burner. solid lynn drum machine beats, fat grooving minimoog bassline, crazy synth work and amazing vocals make this tune a must have! the instrumental is included too. floorfiller

kenneth james gibson is a man of many different personas. the list of his releases over the past years is way too much for this infosheet, so lets skip this part for now. under the moniker of apendics.shuffle hes visiting mos ferry prod. for the third time. >you got my harmony< is not only a title for this e.p. you can take this phrase literally. his sound fits the label like few others. along with his two extremely grooving tracks >finding harmony< and >you got my< the package also contains two remixes by tim xavier and olene kadar. they definitely share our faible for >frickelsound<. tim turnes the original track in a dry, more driven techno version. olene - with young ambition and restlessness - starts quiet relaxed, but carries his arrangement of the given samples to the extreme, again

limited speedcore 4 tracker by bonehead & prince ov darkness / from 240 to 880 bpm

if you secretly believe that all of the best dance music has an undercurrent of melancholy then you are in for a treat. 0.5, the debut ep from the fascination movement, doesn?t skimp on either the dancefloor rhythms or the windswept yes-we-remember-new pop romanticism. the fascination movement is looking forwards, not backwards: just because this is music that adapts the same vocabulary created by bands like new order or early orchestral manoeuvres in the dark doesn?t change the fact that from the first arpeggios of ?just pretend? you feel the shock of the new. of course, you may be too busy humming along to the choruses to notice how slyly the band makes a classic sound fresh again...

phutura is a name you don t hear too much about, a unique name much like the artist who owns it but i think its adagio duty to exploit one of the most exciting artists today! phutura has been making quality underground minimal electronic house on adagio itself, minisketch, globox and registrazioni italiane

the princess of hardcore strikes again with thunder and lightning!

after several remixes and longtime waiting our artist h.o.s.h. releases his next own ep. and he is back with a real banger! >the valve< sounds connected to steppenwolf, but feels more like a coninue: more modern, more pushing and more groove. like hell! a balkan- flute plays sometimes, but very harmonic to the track. heebie-jeebie! >super sick bowl< is a fantastic groove, too, but a bit more housy like classic recordings. awesome, never boring housebeat spiced with two cool and sick breaks. this loop could run forever. single words work perfect with the beat and provide a stimulating sexappeal. under a fig tree starts more technoid with the sound, but has still a groovy house for 3 minutes til the break - and out of this break a new sound is evolving. on the one this track continues with a warm bass hook, leaving the technoid sounds behind. what a twist! just beautyfull! thanx hosh

great forward going techno mover

dubbyman is at his best on this >dubless ep< and surely proves to be a man to look out for

another serious result from our warehouse rummaging! si begg is a man of many musical personalities, his list of aliases is impressive to say the least (bigfoot, buckfunk3000, lenny logan, s.i. futures, zygmunt janowski...). but one of his oldest, and certainly one of his strangest, is cabbage boy. in fact i confess i am old enough to remember his releases in the early 90s on cassette tape under the umbrella of the >cabbage head collective< (which also included such techno notables as cristian vogel & tim wright) - and pretty mental they were too. the lost tapes vol. 1 doesnt disappoint on that front, containing such gems as a remix of 80s pop mysteries frank chickens>we are ninja<, and an electronic cover version of >king kong< by frank zappa (ask your parents...). totally out there, but totally cool at the same time...highly recommended to anyone looking for something with some real personality amidst the hard-drives full of faceless (and usually nameless) digital fluff

slamming new school breaks mix by pinch that ll appeal to electrohouse jocks too!!

last years breakspoll best single winners far too loud take their audio toolbox and set about dismantling the vocal monster innocent from the album. featuring the distinctive vocals of yolanda and some ungodly sonic trickery, bass action and arrangement tweakery this mix is really quite special.

a massive anthem and a perfect answer to the question too!!

since the akai s1000 came onto the market in 1988, loletta holloway and love sensation in particular must be one of the most sampled voices of the last 20 years. cevin fisher anthemic treatment of it is back on playlists too, toughened up with a trademark tribal dub from dj chus, with housier takes on the b-side. a very big set of mixes, this will seriously move floors for a long to come, simply awesome.

including 2 mixes from the man himself james curd, as well as 2 remixes from dan x and lil marks.... little bonus with the accapella too.... great chicagoan package.

sexplosion, the new ep from lenfant terrible of sophisticated techno, seth troxler-here recording under his debauched alter ego sex trothler-is a complex, multifaceted, and yet decidedly horny affair. these are the sounds of doing unspeakable and anonymous things to girls in dark backrooms and being too confident to regret it the next day…the sounds of your favorite sexual memory transformed by your overactive fantasy life into scenes of utter perversion. the first track, jusyour, combines troxlers signature use of the classic, organic sounds of detroit house and techno with an avant-garde, fragmented, almost mournful sensibility. its a contemporary jack track as appropriate for a dark, seedy club as it is for an afterparty orgy on your friends broken futon. its almost as if music could yearn and sweat and think all at once. its followed by a brief vocal internude to remind you that being a good lover always means having enough of a sense of humor to laugh at other people laughing at yourself. think tinkertoys meets the wu-tang clans black shampoo. humor aside, the final track, face, utilizes airy percussion and deep, almost cinematic chords (reminiscent of troxlers remix for another precious youth, nicolaas jar on new yorks wolf+lamb label). its masterful and restrained use of processed vocals manages to leave behind so much of the pointless darkness that has plagued techno, whether minimal or otherwise. it builds slowly yet aggressively, like a hard, focused grind with someone you cant actually even really stand. this is music for people whose time at art school was spent getting naked and not hating themselves for it.

techy infected new school breaks!! includes ben hash key and cut la roc mixes!! will be big with techhouse/electrohouse jocks too!

dan is a german producer and dj with impeccable taste. previous output for highgrade has been superb and he has some amazing stuff due to drop on moon harbour (where he takes care of promotions in fine style) so hairy claw have handpicked him for the first release of 2008. deep, groovy and with just the right amount of drive, xibeca is a mordern house cut of the highest order. supernature and tsuba artists bearweasel take the techier elements of dans original and twist them into a flowing techhouse cut too - so theres something for the heavier crowds too. there are big things afoot with hairy claw, we ll keep you posted.

mystery surrounds hot new electronic property burns. his myspace suggests a friend and fan base consisting of the likes of calvin harris, dj mehdi, mr. oizo and mark ronson and by the sound of this cheeky white label his future is very bright. we cant say too much about these two tracks but what we can tell you is that both are guaranteed to destroy the dancefloor! heavy french filtered house is the style and boy does burns do it well.

with a riff thats too good to die, nitro deluxe finds its way back on todays dancefloor, via a rather brilliant re spray from julian neopolitana. with chicane also getting more of the same and of course, ruff loaded vol 1 still doing the business everywhere, expect volume 2 to do even greater damage file under large!

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

the 3 jagged guys come from a different background, but they all love and live quality music for many years already! so the best time they have cooking things up in their studio – and as a result, it sounds like >hello kool nice<. analogue equipment plus the mpc, thats the sound of jagged and quintessentials 02: organic, raw and real! the remixes courtesy of colognes harry swinger & dc (rushhour) with an old school deephouse edit and man of the moment quarion (drumpoet community) with a great summerish uplifting rework are pure dope too. essential

ncl. remixes by gino & snake! supported by: stephan bodzin, oliver huntemann, pascal feos, lemos, butch, kolombo, steve bug, hennon, the glitz... etc. apropos apricot - some unknown ladys apricot colored dress simply flapped away when andreas first new bass line left the speakers. it was the tunes premier and, needless to say, quickly became its name. we hereby thank ms apricot - who had a fruity booty, too! also, a close friend named rikardo was part of the team that magical night… and oh well, he sure liked her, she liked him back - and soon the follow up was born! thumbs up for prorikardo!

support by djinxx, jichael mackson, tobias becker, pelle buys, rulers of the deep, dave mothersole, laurent garnier, leandro gamez, james talk… gedankensport signed a new amazing artist for you. with his sense for minimal techno and house arrangements he bursts every brain, because he will start the real sport of thoughts in your mind. christopher rau, who came in contact with electronic dance music in 2004, produced three poetic minimal housetracks reduced to some kind of essential form of electronic music. a: gribuntal: this track is pure minimalism. based on this monotone organ chord that seems to make you insane during the nearly eleven minutes, there is kind of tropical feeling, too. the easy tribal percussions put this track in warm, windy and relaxed beach surrounding, nobody wants to leave..

support from artists like: adam marshall, solomun, d julz, brothers vibe, alejandro vivanco, tadeo, dubfire, davide squillace, alex dallas, butane, 2000 and one, cassy, len faki, lauhaus, dario zenker, matthias tanzmann, luca bacchetti, sebo k., mikael stavöstrand... its not a surprise that mathias kaden releases a terrific and energy-loaded track for the young label gs zurich. too many all-nighters and a close friendship unite the label - also well known as one of the best party labels of zurich - with this exceptional artist. on the b-side is a track from the young zurich producer knor. with >la plage< he reflects the perfect atmosphere of a mild summer evening on the beach with all its surprises. knor also causes quite a stir as drummer of the band rizzoknor, which recently played one of the best concerts this season at bar25 in berlin

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! cynosure is proud to present the debut ep of one of italys finest house and techno djs, andrea fiorito. hailing from the southern city of bari, andrea brings new warmth to the otherwise ice cold italian house sound and delivers a timeless deep house original. things commence on >moderato mistico< with a subtle tribute to a close a friend that has some serious issues with partying called >boti world<. a stripped down minimal house groove with several different monster bass hooks. a killer bumping, grinding, walking bassline that heats the floor with every change up. but as we all know this is not enough to really push things to the limit, so andrea answers the call and brings the furry with givan on the sax. imagine that moment where things in your night boil over the edge and you begin to loose control. thats when givans post punk style sax attack begins to push things past the threshold of insanity. next we have the lovely >betty loop< feat the sensual voice amelia saul. a layer of percussion a la spring reverb set the pace leading into some piano chords and a giant bass hook that make up the foundation of the groove, laying the sonic rose pedals down for amelias presence to be heard. with a voice sweeter than honey and some twisted lyrics, she creates a sexy yet warped feeling in this track. and of course if the vocals were too much, you can play the dub version >betty goes to gio< and mix your heart out. with >moderato mystico< andrea fiorito lights the deep minmal house flame for cynosure closing the summer releases in style by producing heat that only a southern italian can. howie mangel

deadmau5 is on fire again with this huge vocal electro house track i remember featuring kaskade. the haunting vocal of kaskade has you a million miles away whilst the space age keys and tight rhythm keep you locked in. for anyone not fond of vocals there is a handy instrumental in the package too..

after the successful debut of danilo vigoritos >napoli underground part 1<, we proudly present an new talent from argentina - guillermo suarez is our man from buenos aires
