the power of lauer is indisputable. blessed with the uncanny ability to make hooks that would make bone thugs-n-harmony jealous in their heyday, phillip lauer is – pardon us – the melody man. his newest tour de force comes in two parts for our beloved live at robert johnson label. similar sounding to the legendary harmonizer (as if you would care), h.r. boss is new- romantic -italo -not -italowave that puts love on top of love (i.e. the aforementioned melodies). wouldnt sound out of place in sophie marceaus notorious la boum walkman. forbidden fruit is the sweetest. a little less full-bodied, yet as disarming, banned goes straight ahead with its ripply bass line, wheezing strings, a killer arrangement that completely deserves the tracks name plus a groove that wont stop. feels like delta nrgs filthy little brother. delectable! put on your red shoes

everything from a small room. a few friends joke and start to record something.. something strange, indecipherable, or maybe just their souls. a voice begins to sound diffuse, catchy, distorted, hot. what happened to them on in that room don t know, but it was enough to convince us that this was a true story, unique ,inimitable. hooved was amused to construct a simple, yet many artists have come out of my mind, since the scsi-9: anton e maxim have made a pop song like this phoebe, that seems to be everywhere, but didn t think hitherto.. barrytone, new project of korablove, we delight rolled, cuts batteries and more pressing reason, unlikely to fade in your shelves. echonomist in greece seems to fall after many years in his bedroom, and start playing with the same old things, but with the eyes of this. finally tuccillo helps us find a very specific connotation, destination, disco. vinyl seems to sail on his last tour, but in the digital ve rsion will still expect the memories: l original track of hooved, version reinterpreted version of the cool voice hvoya, and the last train, the remix of dualism. a man and a woman summed up in just under 13 minutes all monsters and insecurities, words and glances, the soul of a gesture that turns into projects, loop, hours, bpm, second. apparel is pleased to present phoebe ep.

it only takes one listen to jee days >like a child< – and its whirling, hypnotic rush – to recognize the know-how that has made studio whiz dennis dj mcnany a go-to source in new york citys dance music scene. over the last decade, the sound architect has become a musical jack-of-all-trades: fine tuning releases from outfits such as the rapture and turing machine, working on early output from dfa records, maintaining his own run roc label, remixing artists like panthers, ghostape and digable planets ladybug mecca, and contributing keyboards and percussion on tour with the juan maclean. in light of the already impossibly long list of credits to mcnanys name (including the numerous pseudonyms under which he has released his own music) the jee day debut 12 inch is a bit like a first listen to an artist who audiences, ironically, have already heard many times before.

sam sallon is a hugely talented singer songwriter, whos acoustic-led folk-pop brings to mind legendary uk artists such as nick drake & john martyn, as well as more contemporary artists such as devendra banhart, iron & wine, vetiver, etc. two of the uks finest producers have taken samÆs beautiful, delicate original song and taken it into new territory. leo elstob a.k.a. leo zero transforms samÆs acoustic original into a chugging, footstomping, sing-a-long balearic end-of-night-anthem. think the beatles baby you re a rich man meets the aliens robot man, with a subtle hint of (and donÆt let this put you off) wonderwall! begin is the new recording alias of back ii basics & bugged out resident, chemical brothers tour dj, apprentice fishmonger, and officially funniest man in europe without his own stand-up dvd to sell, james holroyd. james applies that subtle, euphoric begin sound to the mix, which is destined to be the soundtrack to all your sunsets this summer. this is sure to be one of the records of the year

oh ruin is eoin o ruinaigh, originally from dublin but now residing in london. having started out playing in a host of bands, at one point embarking on a tour supporting morrissey, he has now gone solo and is turning out such six-string gems as the two tracks collected on this single. a beguiling melange of untempered blues and campfire songs which draw on a rich irish folk tradition, eoins songs are intricately drawn sketches accompanied by deftly finger-picked melodies, even performed on guitars made by eoin himself.

the droids beamed down to planet earth in the year 1978. yves hayat aka droids, was a young label manager at the seminal french disco label barclay in the seventies. >star peace<, originally released in 1979 is his concept to the classic sci fi movie >star wars< out that year. featuring the french space synth classic >(do you have) the force<, in both parts, this lp goes from strength to strength with spaced out lullabys >inner space< & >tchough fou<, before kicking back into the groove with >be happy< an assault to the senses with its manic synth lines running riot over heavy funk overtones. the flip kicks off with >shanti dance< parts 1 & 2, sleezy robot-funk work outs that are inter-joined to make a 6 minute continually evolving piece of music. the closing eight-and-a-half- minute >renaissance de l amour< is a tour de force of cinematic synthscapes, bleeps, bloops and world rhythms, before dropping in the drums 6 minutes in to ignite any dancefloor. this is light years ahead of its time.

incl ron flatter rmx!! das neu gegründete label mittel zum zweck releast dieser tage die erste vinyl. aconite, cert-8 und dj steven-x sind die macher und väter dieses projekts. nachdem sie bereits letztes jahr eine gemeinsame tour mit 19 terminen absolvierten, folgt nun das eigene label. ohne viel schnickschnack soll es sein, deshalb trägt nicht nur das label diesen namen, sondern auch das musik-projekt selbst. der titel >kankar punsum< war schnell gewählt. es ist der name des höchsten bislang unbestiegenen berges der welt. die drei jungs von mittel zum zweck wollen diesen nun musikalisch erklimmen und stellen sich in der heutigen zeit großen herausforderungen... um das packet abzurunden, haben sie sich ron flatter mit ins boot geholt, der einen amtlichen remix anfertigte, der ebenfalls wie die drei anderen mi xe durch feinsten tech-house und minimal-sounds eine heiße electro-nummer abliefert

kremenerstrasse in prenzlauer berg, north-east berlin, five hundreds meters away from the mauerpark, not far from the flea market of arkonaplatz and the famous kastanienallee, right there stands the souvenir office. just a quick guided tour for you! the kitchen shared with the boys of turntable rockers has the best café latte of the street, and with entertainers of the likes of ali and basti, you always get extra spices (and funny anecdotes) with your meal. just book your table in advance. next-door, you will find the souvenir studio, the audio empire of philipp “santé . behind a two-meter-high wall of machines, surrounded by computers screens and synthesizers, you can imagine him working away on some funky keynotes and well-chosen kettledrums with ali and basti. it may well be stomping and uplifting but there’s still something missing… that little extra something, which turns this new tfschwrz track into a breath-taking floor filler comes from the office at the end of the corridor. where hundreds of 12? records collected by tiefschwarz over the years are stored and also where retty works, the jokester of souvenir, the good mood behind the desk of souvenir booking and the good moves behind the decks of souvenir’s dj booths. retty is otherwise known as the whistler

this man cant currently be stopped. following his releases through the 2nd season 2009 (>marvin” on compost, >smaul 06< & >smaul 07<) in january 2010 acid paulis >riverboat tour< came out. now, it seems he opens this years summer season with these two psychedelic thrilling tracks. even though he had been touring a lot with the notwist last year, acid pauli was pretty often an invited, musically refreshing guest in berlins minimal techno (what ever) scene. den mahlstrom rauf leaves no doubts about. great build up he does by keeping tension over five minutes to unlash finally the madness charge with a levitating reverse-ducking-compressed melody. den mahlstrom runter (a play on words of travelling on a boat and getting milled…) seems to be the return from the trip he gives on side a. it is the same track reworked. his musical drama goes faster but deeper under the cortex – but >how lucky a fate< deliverance comes at right time taking the track over to a known housy and deep realm.

support: steve bug, jay haze, someone else, mark henning, matt star, pan pot, agaric, jason emsley!!! 2009 has been an extremely busy year for billy dalessandro. on top of having recently relocated from his hometown of chicago to montreal, the year has marked his most engaging yet in terms of gigging and musical output. along with a successful three-month european tour, billy released a string of highly acclaimed singles, and his latest artist album (not to mention his growing catalog under the huge hephner and tyrone aliases). however, it should come as no surprise that the producer has saved the best for last.
>strombooty< (for details, consult your local urban dictionary) is the modern dalessandro sound, combining heady experimentation with dance floor prowess. the eps title track is a deep, yet explosive number that creeps in subtly like dark clouds on the horizon, before raining down a devastating thunderstorm over the speakers.
the latin-flavored >el tapatio< and super-deep cut >speak to me< make up the b-side. although the tracks represent different aspects of the dalessandro sound, the commonality they share is a thoughtful approach to dance music that much of the formulaic output these days lacks.

ending the brief hiatus that followed the >great lengths< lp and accompanying world tour martyn and 3024 usher in the new decade with a brace of remixes from the deepest recesses of the quasi-house community. first out the gates is 3024-006, helmed by a pair of artists as unique as they are elusive, zomby and redshape.

vakant continues its valt series with the third installment of uncompromising club tracks. started in 2008 with onur Özer and followed up by tolga fidan in 2009, dario zenker brings up valt3 in 2010. vakants representation in the decent south of germany locates belfort as close to detroit as its indefinite in time. was it written by little dario in the 90s? or maybe on a us tour in detroit itself with some helping hands? we dont know, but surely have a timeless piece of music here

played by karotte !! as if the year 2009 hadnt been eventful enough for berlin label highgrade and its french counterpart freak n chic , both camps have found space in the program for another very special tour de force this november. based on the similar philosophies of label founders tom clark and dan ghenacia, the two labels utilize the skills of their existing artist rosters while continuing to discover new talents, and togheter, pay tribute to almost all the artists from both labels with this fresh musical collaboration.

supported by monika kruse, adam beyer, jakob hilden, dave seaman, laurent garnier, kiko, john digweed, nic fanciulli, barem, chris liebing, danny tenaglia. yes, the world can be a cocktail and kaiserdisco are surfing on a wave of success following their track espandrillo. espandrillo made it into the richie hawtin us bus tour 2009 chart and has been re-entering charts worldwide for numerous times since. we think that with amalfino kaiserdisco will be hitting the top 10 charts of many dj s again. amalfino is a strong driving percussive track that builds on child vocals, creating a bit of a fairy-light atmosphere within a massive production. bailetteo is a track that can be understood a bit as a continuation of amalfino working with similar vocals but has less of a peak time formula. with >carachillo< kaiserdisco have added a cool and deep, housy track with indian vocals and samples, which could be cool for the house community.

superhero by the glass, the second single off their upcoming album, is a pop leaning dancefloor track with an infectious hook. remixes come courtesy of uks luke solomon, founder of classic recordings with derrick carter, and all round house music champion. lukes mix is an old skool rave dub with pulsing percussion, trippy synths and a wonderful retro bassline. esl recordings ursula 1000 plays up the hip hopelements in the original production with 80s electro feel, shimmering hats and a 90s ravey vibe. finally newcomer bit thief brings an amazing nu house remix to the table with an incredible conga heavy mix which includes tenor sax honks and much much more… the glass are on tour in the usa in september and europe in october and december!!!

juke and ghetto house hero dj gant-man was part of the fools gold family from the start - his remix of kid sisters >damn girl< was on the back of our very first release, quickly followed by production on kid sis >switch board< and shows around the country as her tour dj and hypeman. so naturally, we are very proud to present gants new solo single and debut fg artist release, >juke dat girl<.
from his earliest 12 inches on dance mania, to rocking parties around the world on the rave and club circuts alongside legends like paul johnson, gant has been pushing his signature chicago sound for almost two decades - mixing up rapid-fire juke beats while referencing all the house and disco classics that first paved the way. >juke dat girl< is the latest development of gants hybrid approach, slowing the bpms down to a more universal tempo but keeping the hyper, party-starting energy intact.
the banging original also comes backed with two massive remixes - an amped-up rave version from the heavily buzzed dc duo nadastrom and a groove-filled uk funky house rework from ex-bugz in the attic producers greenmoney. the entire single is a dj must-have, so pick it up and work! and juke! and work! and juke…

after their new york city debut earlier this year, the buzz on jessica 6 began to brew. the group which features bassist andrew raposo, keyboardist morgan wiley and singer/songwriter nomi ruiz (of hercules & love affair), who all met while on the 2008 hercules & love affair tour, have been hard at work in the studio cultivating a sound that is equally dark as it is sexy, soulful and ready for the dance floor.

high on the heels of their brand new album >24/7< gus gus serve us the second single outtake. >thin ice< is undeniably the key song on the album and therfore screamed for being revisited for dancefloor purposes. the a-side belongs entirely to the hamburg based trio wareika, which is not only sharing the tourbus as support act with our icelandic heroes on their extensive >tanz mit mir< tour but also raised some eyebrows with excellent releases onlabels like tartelet, connaisseur, liebe/detail or eskimo. their take on >thin ice< is a wonderful, epic journey into contemporary deephouse - approaching the original from its intimate, emotional side before taking a total different turn in the last third of the track. we have no clue where this angelic voice transcended from but for sure it gives us gigantic goosebumps. on the flip, matteo esse and sant aka analog people in a digital world deliver proof that their brilliant remake of st germain, >rose rouge< was not just a one-hit-wonder. it was and still is hammered by the top league djs like pete tong, luciano, michael mayer and many more. they know exactly which buttons to push in order to make this worlds dancefloors happy.
