the musical evolution of matthias tanzmann as producer is in full swing - a quick look over his releases and remixes of the last year reveals an ease and sophistication, as hefurther progresses the reduction of house music. and with great pleasure we get to provide his pinnacle of the year so far, >chano<, the two versions of the track demonstrating just where house can take you on the threshold of a new decade. the a side concentrates on a percussive rhythm and a lyrical vocal, its carefully placed sounds building the track into a dynamic and hypnotic whole. the b side of >chano< is arranged more classically - a deep chord, a clear beat, accentuated hi-hats and claps…

gregor tresher and break new soil are more than happy to present an exciting new talent from italy: romano alfieri. the two tracks he presents (one of them in collaboration with production partner luca bear) have it all: its house, its pop, its techno, but most of all: its one of the biggest dancefloor destroyers of the winter season already!

classic sounding track by two long going and respected techno heads.. fabrice lig and titonton. these guys take it back to the early nineties when techno was still fresh and new... the days that titonton and dan curtin were debuting with their sophisticated techno sound. raw funky 909 percussion, bleepy analogue synths and great warm string sounds and beautiful melodies. purist techno tracks that never go out of style and reminds the old blokes why we loved techno in that period so much. and it shows the young cats that there is more then the standard dj tool techno! beanfield is on remix duty here... and he delivers an updated modern dancefloor friendly house version with a great string section that reminds a bit of knights of the jaguar and a killer bassline after the break. check!

these two fellas from upstate wanted to party, so we met downtown at the club later that night... fresh off the mystery meat imprints auspicious debut comes ncams double header deep house excursion. comprised of nick chacona and anthony mansfield, the bi coastal duo have reworked seemingly untouchable bits of discos past to come up with two sublime housey reworks. handle this is a firm favorite of one todd terje, and its no wonder what with its slow, hypnotic build. nick and anthony strip down a prelude classic to its core elements to create an otherworldly rework, teasing the female vox before they let loose midway through. the bongers is a not so subtle nod to the original source material, again with the boys retooling a classic from the prelude catalogue with dazzling results.

leeds based audiojack stormed on to the scene with their chart busting single >robot<, back in 2006. since then theduo have stayed true to the leeds house institution that is 20/20 vision, releasing multiple 12 inches and an album over the last 3 years. one can only imagine how giddy we are to finally slot these nice young chaps for a release on get digital. anchored by a smattering of effects, quirky soundsand sliced up vocals - that even a sushi chef would bow in approval of – made it almost easy to crown >kicks forkicks< the a-side. although storming right from the get-go, it is the two break-downs that build up to reintroduce the beats that provide a dramatic tension effect, withoutsacrificing their credibility. a tune equally affective as it is infectious.

nice price deal !!! music designed for the underground! aaron ross & matthew bandy have landed themselves once again on the seasons recordings imprint and we could not be more excited to have them both back working on this one together! last year bandy got hitched and moved from the quite city of denver to the thriving city of london to mix things up and ending up hooking up with mr. ross and the rest is magic! this is the first project these two have worked on together and lets hope for more in the future. this record was designed for the underground!!

wurst are going from strength to strength with another killer 12inch, this time from ulysses. latin combo features pretty much no latin elements on first listen although we think we can hear a few claps and percussion samples from a charanga 76 cover of chic that might be influencing the title. both tracks feature dubbed out drums and a warm analog feel throughout making for a pleasant listen and two solid club tracks at the same time.

number three in this marvelous series features two rare martin landsky tracks from his very own and now deleted label effortil records.
these classic cutz date from 1998/99 and got exclusively remastered for this highly limited vinyl only 12 inch release ... get it while you can!

yc‘s adultnapper has built a reputation for himself that not only commands respect for his highly evolved production skills, but also for his unique musical visions that steer him down his own unique path. not interested in following the current pop-trends, adultnapper turns in a freaky two tracker using a sharp, modular and timeless electronic sound palette. ‚almost nothing‘ is a complex and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and endless tweaked out studio trickery. haunting smatterings of melody, synth texture and paranoid-funky vocals drop in and out of the mix as this deep acidic groover charms you from the inside. poker flat regular patrick chardronnet provides a wicked remix that begins along the same reduced, textural tip as the original, yet builds into a breathtaking organ led harmonic climax. dramatic, uplifting and main-room friendly chardronnet‘s remix opens up the spectrum once again as audiomatique continues to surprise. ‚white fingers black hair‘ is the b side jam from adultnapper. a skipping, similarly complex and meandering groove is jacked up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme that revolves around the track, amongst building strings and gated snares as its freaky climax is unveiled. super, off the wall stuff from nyc‘s chief mindwaper himself

>i have always had close ties with fabric and this time they have really paid off. fabric were putting together a new cd called >elevator music< that featured a lot of the new uk drum n bass/house hybrid material coming out right now. they sent me a couple tracks by a new guy named julio bashmore which i really liked. literally the next night i had a gig in bristol and julio came to the show and gave me even more tracks. these were my favorite two tracks of his. i really like this mix of jungle and house. i also like this new breed of producer who isn’t scared or mired in tradition. i’m definitely feelin it!<

another outstanding deep house release from the naked camp with brilliant remixes from andi caldwell, lance desardi and artist/production team fenomenon. their mix actually leads off as a1 and deservedly so. a slick broken beat excursion that uses the full vocal by ernesto and lifts the track to another musical dimension. caldwell and desardi opt for not using the vocal and creating two pumping dubs that fit the naked mood beautifully. desardi turns out a hot deep tech electronic mix that fans of francois k should check out!

after their release on super flu label monaberry, hanne & lore serve the new dish on superfancy plates. the justamente ep features two crisp tech house tracks, keeping you warm through the winter season. a hot welcome hit from hanne & lore on superfancy recordings !!! the label with the eyes.
