its still like that: even though digital is everywhere there is still something very special about having your own tracks on a vinyl release. so this is it again: the very best of the last releases on koletzki_s sublabel stil vor talent digital on a double-sided vinyl edition. starting off with two tracks by bruch & junior that couldnt be more different: while >fiesta de la residencia< sounds like somebody threw some spanish vocals and trumpets into a pool of tech-house beats and basslines at a maniac afterhour on the white island (ergo: great),>sunset< is the deeply euphoric sound for the morning after. the synthesizers so crisp and all around you, the beat and bassline so warm and seductive: this is purely magical music that will make you forget when the sun went down or up the last time while still making you want to shake your legs to the strong bassline and chunky loop. hit! on the flip then comes a re-work of a massive hit on stil vor talent: a 2010 version of nicones >una rosa< complete with the original spanish vocals, but a much more grooving loop that turns into an absolute percussion fest. claps turn into effects and we all raise our hands to those reverbed original vocals. last up australian murat kilic with the wonderfully oldskool house anthem >summer traffic<: great melodic pads, a superbly harmonic bassline and when the breakdown kicks in, an ever-indulging xylophon melody. this whole record has got summer written all over it and helps us all get through this icy winter.

the motor, the city and soul do return to one of the longest running deephouse labels on the planet. with almost 40 releases and still kicking and keeping vinyl alive this release is no exception. matthias vogt & c-rock join forces again and the two present a heavy loaded package of deep house. with sascha dive and jay shepheard we got two men of the moment to remix -cipher- and all four mixes turned out to be just amazing. sascha dives remix is built on driving beats and develops big time floor potential. vogt re-arranged cipher into an epic musical master piece that incorporates his piano skills. stir15 label head c-rock strips the whole thing down to a deep and tripped out dub and jay shepheard follows his last releases and deivers a stellar deep tech-house groover. a box full of house in different blends. after satoshi tomiees -back to basics- this is another amazing release that already made big waves housefloors around

futuristic and dark minimal-techno from virgil enzinger on the a-side and two quality remixes from french producers octave and brian burger on side b. dj friendly and top class, crisp production skills on all tracks here. this ep is already played and supported by the likes of patrick lindsey, cristian varela, dave the drummer, sam paganini, ryuji takeuchi, dj hi-shock, dj warp and ree.k.

hyperdub has long been a fan of grime don terror danjahs razor sharp productions, his unparalleled, skittering rhythm science, deadly riffs, brilliant technicolour synth squiggles, gremlin cackle signature and general ear for a catchy tune. on this first ep for the label, he showcase two strains of his many skills. acid cranks up the energy, with an ascending synth crashing into stuttering drums and synths. they play hide and seek with each other for a bit, before the track unexpectedly breaks into a 4 / 4 house rhythm, and then shatters into pieces again. on the flipside, pro plus, terror is joined by long time collaborator d.o.k for a slice of their classic sound - an infectious, twisted sickly sweet synth melody wrapped around syncopated, stop start drums to mean effect.

more percussive layered grooves from layo & bushwacka! this time in the form of >the longest day<, a deeper house track for the discerning amongst you. >can i feel the vibe?< - we certainly hope you can when this one growls out of your speakers. on the b side, olmeto take great pleasure in welcoming mirko loko to the growing list of remixers working on tracks for the label. having made great music for wonderful labels such as cadenza, desolat & planet e, mirko takes this release a stride or two tougher - he locks the groove and just keeps it rocking…absolute precision.

first release for this new label which starts up with the debut of the emerging duo doslive, with the first ambitious project >lemons ep<. this ep consist of two tracks: >lemons< on the a side, reflects excellent deep grooving house with a irresistible vocal style ready to take on any dancefloor. while on the other side >use me< builds up a new concept of house music, without limitations, with an irresistible groove and variety of voices so that you will not be able to leave the room until the song is over!

for more than six years now, the dj and producer julian jeweil belongs to the up-n-coming electronic music scene in marseille, cultural centre of the french riviera. with his air conditionné ep on electric rescues skryptom label in 2006, he provided the scene with a true consensus hit, and further collaborations with and remixes for oxia, scan x, danton eeprom or sébastien léger have cemented his reputation as one of the most promising young talents in electronic dance music. his current ep for cocoon stands for uncompromising and demanding techno in its purest form: from the initially more sizzling sound layer in color emerges after two minutes in the first break a hysterically screaming >saw of sinus<, where you almost seem to hear the screams of the people echoing on the dancefloor. >amore< builds up more streamline-like in the style of steve bug, but: dont panic - you will also hear some really demanding breaks in this one. all the hands go up!

the title track (bloody hands) has a unique futuristic sparkle with plenty of funk and loads of interesting effects, characteristic of horrevorts productions. the lead and bassline build up tension throughout the track, subtly climaxing after 5 minutes with some guaranteed hands in the air action!
on the b-side we find >nymph<. this funky deep techey track slots perfectly into those hypnotizing moments of the night. quality production! the b2 is remixed by marc marzenit who captured the subtlety of >bloody hands< perfectly with his monster remix. this monster has a slightly deeper, more progressive flavor than the original yet maintaining its energy. rumor has it that the remix has been signed to secret cinemas first mixed compilation >welcome to my club< (march 2010). one impressive release from two of todays most promising producers!

played and support by brothers vibe, gorge, mendo, acumen, nick curly, felipe venegas, jackspot, ptoile, monoroom, martin eyerer, someone else and many more. his successful releases and remixes were published on labels like kiddaz fm, spinclub, cecille, 8 bit, session deluxe or glückskind. his tracks got remixed by world famous artists like marek hemmann, billy dalessandro, nick curly, chris liebing or tom pooks!! first move is helmuts typical fragile minimal tech-house funk. a sweet lullaby with mantra like vocals thats too minimal to be tech house and far too funky and sexy to be minimal. and helmut is never satisfied with doing things like all the other producer around do it right now - he is always looking for the little things thats different - so expect a surprise or two if you are listening carefully. cut b1 is so typical for helmut again you would know without any doubt where these funky track comes from. reminding of his old classic dub la chord or his yellow tail release this is his typical cleaned up tech house with his own vocal snippets you just cant get enough of.

final daniel wang release on rush hour, incl. 6 tracks not on the recent compilation. the balihu bootleg ep is the final release in the best of balihu series on rush hour. this 6 track ep holds two unreleased tracks (!) and four early works and b-sides. this ep starts with sylver belt which was included on the never released and much in demand balihu 002. not feeling it and east side hustle are early b-side balihu tracks that were not featured on the compilation. side b continues with the instrumental version of if it feels good. this deep, electronic track was taken from the vault of danny and has not been released before. shadows & unhouse are again two early danny tracks that were not on the balihu compilation. and with this limited ep we close off this wonderful project with danny. we hope to see him back one day with new music

after two highly acclaimed releases, enclave recordings return with an outstanding debut ep from irish dj/producer conor rogan. cogan delivers an impressive well rounded package which stands head and shoulders above most of the generic house music thats been flooding the scene these days. the title track >78<, is an infectious, hypnotic number with its roots firmly grounded in the golden era of funk and soul. expect mayhem at the disco when the groove kicks in towards the end where the slapped bass, chopped guitar, and flute take the track to another level.
next up is channels where rogan shows his deep techno influences by weaving layers of rhodes chords in and out of the mix. a low slung funky bassline and tight rhythm section, make this a top notch people mover guaranteed to electrify dancefloors from dublin to detroit.

the official follow up to legowelts >vatos locos< lp, last years magnum opus/tour de force/piece de resistance etc (did we loose your attention yet?). ever since the inclusion of these tracks on the extremely limited (and partially withdrawn) >vatos locos< cd - we ve had many requests to put them on vinyl. who are we to fly in the face of popular demand? so here it is, on glorious virgin black vinyl in a gorgeous sweet n sober sleeve. inside you find four tracks of patented deep(house) jakking wolfers madness .. two bangers and two intropersective low-ridin rolers. not only great for ghetto gardening and home improvement, but also for workin up a sweat on the dancefloor.

a classic deep funky disco track , plus two fresh pete herbert remixes

return to form (take that, haters!) hits at the body repeatedly, slamming away with a lack of abandon and a new sense of protocol. major stars are known for being psychedelic rock journeymen (and journey lovin women), but of late, their rocks psych roots seem to be dyed platinum white, with a truckers cap shoved on top of the whole mess. its jukebox ready hard rock with a hallucinogenic edge, sure ? or perhaps its just the impact of their triple guitar git down, causing your head to throb with concussive force? dont worry, long time star children ? these guys still jam, but they ve got short numbers too, and wailing, roadhouse vocals sailing over the punch ups. a terrific variety, but a return to form? pffft! what form? these guys have been in plasma state forever! whatever form it takes, thats what it is. and major stars are presently shining on in white dwarf style ? compacted, but with a violent gleam.

yore starts the new year off on the good foot with a four-tracker from the dutch duo morning factory thats remarkably accomplished for a first release. expertly manning the controls are two gentlemen from the netherlands, jean-pierre van der leeuw and jozef lemmens, who clearly produce a high-octane electronic body music thats timeless and fresh.

manaboo is a duo made up of brendon moeller and shigeru tanabu. these two friends first met in ny in 2003 and began jamming on music. shigerus guitar antics can be heard on many a beat pharmacy track. it is their mutual love of jazz, dub and techno that is the insiration for this ep.
great support by: dop, 3 channels, swag, jay shepheard, perc, thomas schumacher, glimpse, xpress 2, jeff mills .....
