craig mcwhinney is a melbourne based dj, producer and live artist. beginning his techno explorations behind the decks in 2000, his transition to the studio has been swift and fruitful. a string of releases on his own label haul music which he co-founded in 2008 with friends mike callander and christian vance, are now being backed up with remixes and eps for speedy js electric deluxe, and brendon moellers steadfast records. drawing upon his wealth of djing experience, he crosses the boundaries of dub infused techno and house with precision and intent, blurring the line between dance floor dynamics, home listening, experimentation and sound design. he is also collaborating with mike callander as haul music live, fusing craigs rhythms with mikes soundscapes to create unique dance floor interpretations of their individual sound experimentations. wild coast is a low-slung filthy minimal romp that possesses as much primal energy as it does futuristic funk. bassbins and heads are likely to be blown by this demented puppy. echologist keeps things lofi, hypnotic and subby.

the second of two eps from talented californian newcomer, tyler friedman, has now arrived. a night in the woods ep starts of as a murky rhythmic experiment. when released of its bound, it transforms into a hailstorm of sound that builds in melodic intensity towards a final climax. this is scenic and brave electronic dancemusic that over and over again will capture the focused listener. on the b-side rivet for sure push tyler towards berghain. but now the tool is somewhat different. rivet transforms the cinematic original into a very dirty and dry party stomper.

within the context of spirals, elements from the levels take on different meaning and significance. these ancient sources of knowledge combined with scientific and genetic theory, can provide valuable tools that can help us broaden our perspective. spirals are also concerned with correct action. correct action in spiral terms is action that is uniquely suited to the individual and the situation at hand. it places an emphasis on practical tools to guide each individual to correct action for him or herself. it does not tell you what correct action is. it gives you a tool to discover that for yourself: your strategy, based upon your unique design.

eduardo de la calle releases three new records, two on analog solutions, and one on sub label suprawax. musically, the tracks tie in with where he left of, featuring held back percussion, hypnotic and prolonged use of slowly modulated patterns. several tracks even do away completely with hi-hats. once in a while the almost trademark tweak of the delay tears the tracks open that are otherwise reduced to the essence of a deep groove. these records mark a new high point in de la calles musical output: they meld an awareness of techno history - and, let us be candid, sometimes samples out of it - with a tripped-out understanding for the passing time on the dance floor. the result is a form of distinctly contemporary dance music. all the same, de la call’s music eludes present day trends of going overtly retro and being contently at rest in nothing but epigonism. nor are they the maximised-to-death tracks spun of the present day techno functionalist goading crowds by the means of formalistic upbuilds over and over. his sound carves out a niche quite its own: its the ultimate modern day dj tool. all records have been pressed in a run of 320 copies and come in inside-out natural cardboard sleeves. no represses are planned at present.

gabriel ananda was captivated by the sound of classical music by the early age of 8. he was encouraged by his family to practice the cello, but it was through playing the guitar that fueled his motivation to continue to learn about music. the guitar became a useful tool to express his creativity, but gabriel was not finished searching for his musical direction. in 1995 that changed. a dj set by sven väth was the pivotal moment that ended gabriels search to find his passion and two years later, the new producer celebrated his first release for the german label hörspielmusik. he went on to release singles on treibstoff, trapez, platzhirsch, and karmarouge before producing what was for him, a life changing track

achterbahn d amour is courtesy of edit piafra & iron curtis. rooted in nu&#776,,,,rnberg, city of love. jx2 is another slammer, guided by lush pads and some quirky acidish bassline that cuts from your left brain to your right brain and then straight to the next dancefloor. there is no escape, dont even try! the other side of the platter has more to offer: the middle of is a high standard dj tool with heart. repetitive loops all over and no end in sight. but(t)! exactly the right amount of dirt to keep you movin and shakin that hips. oh, we have to admit, no rnb samples were used at all. sorry guys! if youre into pop music with a certain love for jackin house music, youll probably go for into the wilde. this song was recorded just before a mad club gig in berlin and you know what to expect: pitcheddown and pitched-up vocals, a live bass and drum machine workouts galore. frank says: these guys are hot as hades. early plays by gilbr (chateau flight), axel boman, basic soul unit, hunee, san soda, roberto rodriguez, red rack em, sasse, ethyl, patlac, matthias vogt (motorcitysoul), francis inferno orchestra, snuff crew & foffie.

the connaisseur family welcomes its youngest member: ava myra flitsch. the daughter of hilary and alex flitsch was born november 15th, 2011 and both the parents and good friends of the label celebrate this miracle with this release. all participating artists were asked to produce a very personal piece of music. the style was left up to the artists, resulting in a beautifully mixed batch of great tracks. the intro track hello! by dop & masomenos features a little vocal snippet as a salutation by masomenos adriens son and it is an atmospheric, soundscapish and beatless tool.

after several appearances on the label, kareem comes up trumps again with an excellent first solo single release backed by a wonderful remix from white doyen oskar offermann himself.how low can you go the opener track acts as a discreet, structured, driving and some how dubby house tune that keeps a nice layer of grit beneath the fingernails. its loopy character imparts the feeling of virtually remaining unchanged but it nevertheless staidly evolves within its sonic borders and imparts a sensual quality of all-enveloping warmth. oskar offermanns interpretation of how low can you go introduces skipping melodies that are transmitted as choppy discoesque pulses and rhythmic modulated bass sounds are the preferred form of punctuation. indeed the remix is intended to be a dj tool, but like all of oskar offermanns recent house works, it builds smoothly as though every element was simply waiting in the wings to make its appearance at the proper moment, and – just before it finishes up – sounds like it could go on forever.

following cuberas 2011 debut with the imperial ep, kyle geiger embraces a new era for 2012 with the mimetic desire ep–further establishing his fresh and uncompromising approach to techno, with his blend of traditional low-end strength and thoughtful melodies. the feature cut, >mimetic desire<, uniquely intertwines thick, defined bass with geigers signature percussion, and most notably, a searing hook that will easily find its place in the rising, peak-time mindset of a twisted dancefloor–while simultaneously providing just enough delicacy to successfully march through the early sunrise hours.
