the multicultural artist arash (with persian origins) made his first contact with electronic dance music in the mid 90s. mainly influenced by the classic house sound of the 90s and the german electronic music scene around frankfurt, he found his passion to house & techno music. as a teenager he started to spin vinyl and got deeper & deeper into the world of dance music and club culture. after a few years of loving & living he started to host & play on his own parties in the region with his own touch and view of electronic dance music. this was followed by appearances in various clubs and off locations. his dj sets are made of a danceable mixture of groovy deephouse and techhouse. 2011 arash started to take his passion on the next level with shaping his own sound. since then he released tracks on record labels like kiara records (barcelona), bla bla (amsterdam), be real (amsterdam) and night drive music (berlin). arash is definitely an artist to keep a close eye and ear on!

the famous >warung< and >d edge< club resident and three times best brazilian dj voted paulo boghosian & torquato make the follow up on the new cecille imprint cic records. the ep starts with the massive >fragments< track, crowing synthesizers evolving into talking vocals. ruff but still moody coming the two versions of >silence & rhythm<. great atmospheric tracks with a special touch of deepness and intensity. the second one on the flip is called >whitegen<, mixed deep and tech house at its best

like the satisfying first sip of soda water spritz, roland tings debut ep, *milky way*, bubbles, barms, and beads through your body. roland tings is rohan newman, a melbourne producer who, like recent rubies holy balm, forces, and canyons, proves there is just more and more greatness behind the great and powerful oz. melodic acid trips doused with swish-ticky-booms, like a rubber ball in space with endless bump and bounce. sweet off his japanese jaunt, speeding things down with sapphire slows shows, newmans taste is pure effervescence and buoyancy. but he has got a percussive stickiness as well, a vim/vigor that raps and rips through trax touch-ups and echo-plexes. not the nineties but the none-ties – no glimmer glam, or sampladelic vocal vacations, or happy house heartbeats. he ends the creamy *milky way* with a brilliantly wonky theme that springs like a wind-up toy gone loose. roland tings, dings, and zings.

new music from the swedish junkyard guys. mr tophat and art alfie delivering two modern house jackers with a little touch of that nordic touch that aways seem to balance things and bring some open space in the music.

benno blome and adrian martin have created a reminiscence of sound. echoes calling from the past into the very moment you are in. *echoes from home* recalls the deepest and hidden treasures lying and waiting patiently inside your soul. creatively complex in movement, the sound carpet is easy and accessible from every point of listening. a touch of incense from the past combined with todays visionary artistry of both performers. close your eyes and follow the echo, the capturing flow from the original version. the nico stojan mix is a sexy combination of the original flow with a touch of bitchy attitude added to the bass line. perfect for a more hidden place near the dance floor while kellerkind has added a deep sassy feel to his interpretation of *echoes from home*. both versions pay tribute to the original mix without losing either the originals or their own character. this is *echoes from home*, the more you hear it, the more you want to play it!

underbelly records return this january with a three track ep from dutch producer wouter de moor, entitled >dx love< and backed with a remix from kris wadsworth.
the kris wadsworths zombie surfer remix opens the ep here and in true wadsworth fashion embraces a raw, dubbed out detroit vibe. punchy drilling beats and underlying twisted melodies drive the track alongside a penetrating arpeggiated bass-line, the result is a moody, peak-time slow bloomer with a touch of class as expected from the detroit master.
pressing on white vinyl.

after appearances on werkstoff and kammer musik neal white is back home on eintakt records with a quite playful while straight ahead thinking 12 inch. we start off deep underwater with the title track, a melancholic dubtechno drifter with a touch of pop called goldfish. enjoyable pianos, a rainy atmosphere, some classic chords and that tasty voice by klavinora make that track a proper name giver. after that wet a-side we come up afloat facing the livefish remix from rhauder (famous artist on the great label ornaments) on the other vinyl side, a reduced (even a bit) stoic floor operator, driving us through the confusions of the autumn sea. coming ashore and meeting queen ema is peaceable after all that. conciliating with the world and weather while getting surrounded by warm pads, curly effects and again the piano hints played by klavinora

pascal pinkert aka dollkraut is a unique specimen in todays world of clean and sterile music production. the dutch producer is best described as an analogue sound wizard with a golden touch for pop moments. his music often sounds like a past that was more beautiful, more broken and more glimmering than it actually was. dollkraut dares to sound like no one else, cinematic and glamorous, rough and haunting. his tracks are driven by a deep love for old lo-fi fuelled recordings,70s space age synths and john barry or ennio morricone fuzziness galore.

2014 repress !! we think we do not have to introduce sven weisemann, but for all of you who are not familiar with his work... sven has released on top labels such as delsin, smallfish, echocord, liebe detail and maybe the label he is mostly associated with is mojuba records, which is based in berlin. his release for telrae starts with elapse a track so detached from everything and at the same time so earthly, it gains that mystic touch some trax radiate. it is again a timeless track on telrae what we think is a quality we strive for. light sway seems harder at first but turns out to be more melodic and light than elapse and so the title fits it just right!

nick sinna has been on the radars lately with his debut release for prime numbers pn13. sticking to the dark corners of the dance floor as of late, we have commissioned the spaced out bass child, conforce and spectrals secret weapon, jtc (aka dabrye) to add their touch with 2 remixes. conforce takes sinnas >real time< further down the worm hole, adding molten pressure to the percussion, and cutting up & reinforcing the vocal samples. while the acid warrior himself, jtc stays true to his roots on his rework of >voyager<, taking the edge off the snap and slicking the groove down to a more deep, melodic trip. pn13 has already received diverse support by the likes of ben klock, marcel dettman, dvs1 and mr. scruff.

foam fangs could be a term used to describe silks preferred take on that too-easily dismissed 70s dancefloor dementia of disco – the soft bite, love nibble, mirrorball on steady/ready perma-revolve. jesse reiner (jonas reinhardts first mister, alongside past/part-time collaborators like phil manley of trans am and damon palermo of mi ami/magic touch), who never quite had the kranky krinkle of his ohm-ambient labelmates, travels head-on, tomorrowland-style, through long-form cosmic moroder constellations of >foam fangs<. nothing frothy about it, though there is a bit of the rubbery in reiner’s bounce-about, cool, funky kraut-disco. suddenly we are beaming back to a time when the world looked forward, envisioning a 21st century decked with silver, chrome, and neoprene. it is a sonic space both transparent and shiny, the metallic ding and cold ribbon of data, scrolling through infinite space. the opener, >foam fangs<, transports us instantly into an ever-expanding universe of sound and light at once fanning out and folding in on itself. variations on that theme continue as the jonas journey oscillates through the beat-beyond.

the record is opening with how do i feel, a deep house master piece from max duke that has been included in the fabric promo mix by dj sneak. with an orchestral background and nice vocals. following we can find the remix of denite (resopal). with a good revision of the original track, adding a good keyboard play and his drums percussion touch along the track. the third song is back to universe. another great tune where instruments keep rolling and rolling in an evolving atmosphere. and closing the release the awesome remix of pawas (night drive music, ostwind, brise). with a massive rework of the original track that gets the track somewhere further. four great tracks for the first vinyl of redlight music

nico purman returns to vakant with his most technoid record since his 2009 va025 euphrasia ep. a cut the bubble reveals the direction nico is taking with this ep. contemporary techno with a classic touch and the distinctive twist that is characteristical for purmans works. b-side blow my mind slackens the pace a little bit and gives room for more trippy yet groovy moments on the floor later in the morning. mind bending.

fuselabs first physical release – a vinyl 12 inch lp of russian/norwegian band onego. onego is igor bogdanov, victor shubin (both from russia), bernt simen lund and gudmund ostgard (both from norway). these guys met together to bring this finest electronica album with natural slavic and nordic touch. and that is what >bukhanka dreams< really is: a thick sonic universe of glitchy rhythms, deep ambience and truly authentic melodies. not just a fast-produced snack you know.

big with: luciano, 2000and one, karotte, monika kruse, steve lawler, nick curly, gorge, meat, simon baker, rills. after his successful new yoork sun ep in 2011 steffen deux returns to 8bit with a powerful 3 tracker. groovy drummings and percussions tiny melodies and uplifting breaks with a little touch of acid in morning dew make this release a perfect club tool.

studio bounces between deep techno and tech-house, taking us into a world of slight movement, resembling some of the typical detroit sound elements. fanon flowers adds the american touch, adding more power and energy to the modulation pads. >analogic swing< by pelacha is a dryer composition, driven by a constant string, pure dance-floor techno.

these two classic house tunes are from marcello giordanis upcoming debut album on endless flight

usually, the purpose of a piece like this is to tell other writers, music mag editors, distribution people and record shop clerks why they should like a certain release and buy, hype, review it. often these encomiums are not really honest and sometimes you even feel like attending an attempt to sell a flat tire. as for i:cubes new longplayer m megamix things are – of course! – very different. being its fifth solo album, an introduction of a man like nicolas chaix or even his biography (another popular brick of sales sheets) seems rather unsuitable. if you dont know what you should know, just use your internet search engine with any of these terms: chateau flight, versatile records, french touch, disco cubizm or parisian prodigy.

the production outfit of daniel varga, michael kuebler and sascha hedgehog, earned their dance music stripes around the turn of the millennium with a series of strong releases, most notably on frankfurt-based techno institution playhouse. describing their musical aesthetic as cabaret-independent-house, the act forged a distinct sound that combines icy minimal structures with catchy euro-girl vocals, anglo-french funk antics and a dash of dancefloor melancholy. this summer, rework return to the fray with a two-sided affair for paris-based meant records that shows they have not lost the electric energy that characterised their earlier work.
