d passion had some guests over at his studio, and heres the result! the collabs, a special release featuring 4 collaborations of d passion with artists from all around the scene. the first one might be a combination of 2 of the youngest, yet most thriving forces in the harder dance, take the risk is d passion and italian mad dog kicking it with bassdrums, tight melody and sharp vocals. together with promo, d passion sat down and created the last track of the night, a track with a large intensity grade shows their view on how the last 5 minutes of an event could and should sound like. the b-side might be a familiar one to many. last year, d passion and unexist provoked each other to non stop hardcore antics, and the two tracks which resulted from this session might be some of the hardest out there! bring the noise and what the hell are the best examples of how intense the combination of the unexist style and d passions production skills can be.

for this second release the indigo raw crew proudly presents >dominus< who are dominic & mirus, two fresh and upcoming producers from barcelona. their first release tarantella ep is a three tracker that brings you directly into the deep chemistry of modern tech-house. on the a side >skin< is a driving warm up tune with deep cords and rolling grooves while >tarantella< builds up with pumping beats and fluffy pads. sian (octopus/poker flat) also delivers one of his best remixes so far adding hypnotic atmospheres and rolling baselines that makes it a perfect peak time tune for the crowds

>beaten< is the first track to be released from random factor’s new album and comes with excellent art of tones remixes.carl a finlow again shows his history and pedigree as well as his refusal to jump on bandwagons and trends by producing timeless electronic music inspired more by kraftwerk, yello, stockhausen, tomita, prince, sakamoto, brian eno and the white noise than by what’s playing this summer at dc10. ralph lawson used >beaten< as the last track on his recent 2020vision compilation. this jerky sporadic groove gives a nod to the forefathers while holding down a beat anyone would be proud of. the single comes complete with remixes from art of tones, fresh after last year’s huge >praise<. this mystery outfit has now signed to 2020vision and this is the first of many bombs from them. art of tones take the track directly to the dancefloor and produce two versions that would slay berlin’s panorama bar at 9 on a sunday morning.

zombie-zombie is a crazy scientist and musical project based in paris, lead by two people, professor etienne jaumet and cosmicnemanusing sound and rhythm to explore the feeling of fear growing deep inside of you

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers

the second release on this hard techno label presents some of the big upcoming stars in the scene. the record starts of with the intro and track of label owner orman bitch. orman is defenitely on his way to the top with big releases on cannibal, jli, fatallic and more. next on the a-side jason little who is creating a big stir in the scene with the releases on jasons mask! he is known for his ultrahard style and even sneaks a few dirty samples in.. on the flip we find two equally hard productions of dj hamy from hungary and schranzao da santos...

after the genre-smashing, seven vinyl pressings deep (and counting) success of viktor casanova, there is no way that the italoboyz could possibly top their first appearance on mothership, right? wrong! we are happy to report that they have created an organic techno masterpiece in >bahia<, enlisting the help of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - john coltrane. youve never heard the master like this - the italoboyz have molded the original >bahia< into a stomping peak timer as only they can. their trademark monster kick underpins stuttering jazz kits, a playful piano line, and an insistent, soulful tenor sax sample from the man himself (cleared after four months of intense negotiations). bahias intro leads into one of the most surprising and euphoric breaks you will ever hear. there are two versions to choose from - the party swing mix gets right to the point, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck. the flip sides mucho lungo mix is perfect for those late night warehouse moments, taking its time to deliver the sweet payoff

amp fiddlers vocals set the stage for 3 different styles of remixes. their individual energies create a diverse set of remixes that can be used to compliment one another on the dance floor. you ll need two or more of these 12inches in order to tease and play with the crowd...! brian & ketch aka strand are old skool producers with 15 years of serious underground producing, and for this track they have laid a simple yet effective chord drivin mix bringin the east side of detroit to berlin. eddie fowlkes and niko marks, have collaborated on numerous tracks before, as we all know, but they came together this time to put a nice deep dubby cross vocal bottom pit feeder ass kickin mix for their third detroit wax release. alton miller, name needs no introduction, brings his cool, smooth, cigar smokin percussion mix. you get 6 minutes of mr. millers let your nuts hang vibe.

cheeky fania style re edited 7inch. part 1 turns willie colons plastico intro into a fully fledged disco cut, simple and effective. part 2 kicks off from where part 1 ended in an original salsa style. two copy pressure could be required.

excellent disco electro !! great follow up on the finger food ep. on the a side a smooth grooving disco affair they are known for. working the floor with some great melodic disco that sounds impressive on a big system. on the flip side two amazing tracks... >mirror men< is a totally unexpected electronic disco funk track with some wave influences. very classy and masculine track! >autumn abyss< is a sweet and soulful track we would expect on a kool and the gang album, think summer madness style, with its incredibly warm sounding instruments

two building up monsters with very precise production and clear mixing. these tracks will dominate the floor for sure and drive people crazy with their hypnotic style. the return of a. mochi, who made his name not only with releases on luke slater s >mote evolver< imprint, also his last kumo-release was a massive success by finding a way to combine shaky minimal grooves with the energy of clearly arranged, straight techno

ltd re-release/classic..later lincensed to bpitch control. unavailable for some time, we are happy to be able to offer again this gem from mark broom...two tracks of typically cool techno, ruff beats but with dark, atmospheric string arrangements and fx.

taken from the upcoming mix cd!! already big with: stephan bodzin & dubfire oliver huntemann has been doing his thing for quite a while, under various guises, as dj and producer. since 1995 he has been running the confused rec. label (plus sub-labels). >play! 01 live - sao paolo/brazil< in 2007 was the predecessor of his current mix album >play! 02 live - rex club/paris<. especially for this event oliver has produced a new single: >play! 02 ep - paris/la boum<. it seems that these two tracks are able to be the next big thing. already played by big names such as dubfire, stephan bodzin and many others!

dark but somehow funky techno killer. after having massive support from all the major players during 2007 (hawtin, garnier, 2000 & one, mr. c, wink, troy pierce), esperanza strikes back in 2008 with the comeback of franco cinelli to the label. franco introduces us two oldschool infused bombs with intricate sounds that won t go out of your mind for a long time.

third ep from this old skate buddy of the ed banger guys who develops an own extremly funky style of hip hop ghetto disco. the first two 12inchers created a huge hype on blogs such as bigstereo, headphone sex & slutty fridge. golden bugs 1st single was supported by many djs such as jori hulkonnen & cajuan and also featured as the opener on the latest dfa mixtape (mixed by shit robot)! golden bug is the king of ghetto disco! ...its the hardest hip hop disco you ever heard...booooom!

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.

pan-pot’s debut longplayer pan-o-rama turns out to be the gift that just keeps on giving. first there was the lead single >charly>, backed by an infectious remix from lady mobilee herself, anja schneider. now they hand the baton to marco resmann and zander vt, who each perform their own magic on two more killer cuts from the album.

not only is franklin sharing his flat with yapacc these days, hes also remixing the likes of peter grummich, colorswitch, ricardo villalobos or pheek, the berlin resident is also releasing constantly persuasively arranged and produced music on crack & speed, sender, trapez, immigrant and on his own imprint the green empire (which is he co-running also with his long-time friend yapacc). >this is probably the best cadenza release which hasnt been released on cadenza<, said a journalist a week ago - and who are we to deny this? these two tracks are beautifully towering tripped-out, post-minimal techno pieces which are not only suitable for late night moments.

myna music is back on the scene!!! first release in 2008 comes from da sunlonge feat nica brooke on vocals!! happening now is a deep grooving soulful piece of house music, that gets its remix treatment by non other than nottingham house dons inland knights and shrewd head honcho matt shrewd himself!! a must have

the enigmatic bulletdodge brings forth their debut release by up and coming glasgow dj/producers loweck, glasgows well known remixer electro voodoo and chicago house legend gene hunt. the >misdirection ep< is an exciting release that conveys vibrant techno magic. the first track to dawn the wax is lowecks original mix, which is a certain floor filler that drives with a dark bassline and explodes with an exciting arpeggio that will cause a frenzy on any dancefloor. track two is electro voodoos mix which is a more deep dubby mix that delivers a more layed back intelligent techno feel. the e.p. culminates with gene hunts mix which, fuses the essence of the original mix with a sub bass line and minimal bleepy effects to create a killer remix. the e.p. has been supported by terrence dixon and k alexi and is set to be a great success in 2008!

deep and funky techhouse to house on the aside with influences of tribal and deep melodies. the flip comes more technoid with dj noiz. he delivers two tracks with africanism vibes and smooth detroit chords..

dj support by : 2000 and one, karotte, james flavour, tobi neumann.... after already four strong 12inches on audiomatique we proudly welcome back robert babicz with his fifth audiomatique release: >dark flower< is a shiny groover accompanied y a beautiful remix from rotterdam based techno-veteran joris voorn. the a-side features two new tracks by robert, >dark flower< & >spiralboogie<. >dark flower< showcases roberts typical handwriting: a dry, but funky groove construct with melancolic and deep synths while some highly seductive bass slaps create this very special babicz feeling. >spiralboogie< spreads its magic on a2. slowly building, having the funk in the trunk and fully focussed on simple, but reliable qualities. forward ever, backwards never. the flipside holds our chefs suggestion: an extraordinary joris voorn remix of >dark flower< which already stirred a huge buzz when steve bug tested it on his recent japan-tour or robert played it out in brasil last month. joris voorns mix perfectly combines floating harmonies with a thrilling drive. simply irresistible

stage 6 for the d classics crew...and a sure stike again. back to back re edits from nico (on his own this time), getting back to the rawest side of discofunk. a side opens it with o2 party. nico come up with a kind of mash up, taking best bits from both versions from the original 12inch pressing, fill it with advance thinking efx, and make it into a proper floor burner. cosmic disco funk of highest order we say. b side is called solutions. here we have a total re arrangement from this early 80s slice of pure disco funk, still keeping the original feelgood touch from the original, but with a real modern thinking and great use of efx and tools tweeking in the making of the re edit. if you re not dancing on these two babies... you re probably already dead.

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

heiko laux (kamzleramt rec) and alexander lukat teams up and releases two massive minimal techno tracks. heiko laux surely knows how to keep the groove going. a must have for all rejected fans out there

waldhaus and x-tension both deliver two tracks for the 13th release on this hardtechno imprint. for those who like it rough: this is what youre looking for !! waldhaus previously released work on crowbar, artillery and toolterror and is obviously very talented and upcoming in the scene. x-tension (aka thomas nordmann) is known from releases onartillery and madhouse - still going strong with this release on combat skills.

luscious, epic and british are not words you would usually associate with an emo band. but i was a cub scout are not your ordinary emo outfit - they re two hardcore souls with passion and emotion dripping out of every pore. and its this passion that has captivated audiences up and down the country. the duo, made up of todd marriott and william bowerman, have come a long way in the 18 months they ve been together. they ve supported bands like babyshambles, panic at the disco, editors and forward russia, played to packed out audiences at download and the carling reading and leeds festivals and made one of the most life affirming albums of 2008, i want you to know that there is always hope, which has been produced by hugh padgham . in a climate of indie band soup, i was a cub scout stand apart. a very british band raised on a diet of american music. a duo who manage the feat of being both indie and rock, punk and prog, small yet big...

the term >ballad< is written similarly in many languages of the western hemisphere. it is a antique word. you can find its etymological origin in the latin verb >ballare< - which means >to dance< - and the greek verb >ballein< - wich means >to move<. a ballad is always a story told through music. in recent times the term >ballad< is often associated with greasy / absurd pop music. what a shame! ballad inc. releases tracks that earn the label >ballad<. on our first release >exile< you can listen to the epic story >high hopes of salvation< by quietpoint and to two short stories by xdb. >anilem< and >jupit< got everything a ballad needs. of course you can dance to it. of course you can move your body. but this should not be the main issue! there is so much more in modern instrumental music. who needs words to tell a story?

two massive hardcore tunes for a.o.d., the dark side side of dj d!!
