signals is the label from the guys behind the newcastle based club night road to rimini in the uk and for their first pressing they present uk duo the one. the one are drummer joe ryan and vocalist emeson nwolie. for this, their debut 12inch, they offer two sublime cuts that give delicate nods to the vocal chicago house of fingers inc and the 80s soul of alexander o neal, jam & lewis and the s.o.s band. remix comes courtesy of den haags finest, legowelt (aka danny wolfers) who provides a deep chicago, smacked out version of the title track. an edition of 200 hand numbered, 12inch black vinyl with limited a3 artwork insert.

if god created men and if the ancestors of men are monkeys, then god was a monkey! this is asrs 3th release on simplex records. the original mix is one for the stronger bodies and minds, full of energy & power, balancing between dark crazy techno and solid minimal. the syncopated percussion is pivoting on the berghain based groovy sound. the melody is sparse and therefore a natural step in asrs evolution as a recording artist. the structure of this track embraces well placed developments and sonic changes. the sound of all tracks is coherent and vigorous hypnotic. asr hired minus artist jpls for a remix on the a-side. result is a typical jpls sound. abstract & subtracted. asrs friends, rising smallroom artist mike wall gives a dark dreamy mysterious point of view and japans tech & minimal talent shin matsura hits you straight in the face just like the original mix does. these two producers are the personnel on the b-side.

vibrations is a new label set up by christopher galloway and piers harrison of roots unit. the first release comes from the ever-dependable and very busy mark e, who drops two killer jams for the dancefloor. escape is a bassline driven banger that drops into a hefty loop half-way through – large. the flip, midnight fires, is a more introspective, techno influenced cut, with crazy jazzy drums and swirling synths. we are thinking about early morning dancefloors for this one. escape is also remixed by roots unit, who add chicago house elements within a reggae aesthetic.

the latest release from the fizzy duck label features carlos nilmmns and ian elgey joining forces on two deep sounding pieces of music. with a nod to their love of the detroit sound on >its because< and >thought pattern pt. 2<. the third track on the 12 inch comes from a new band intrasound from glasgow with mesuma on remix duties.

12inch full of music with a definite sense of place. eerie synthesiser pulses, funk-infused drums and languid guitar-scapes have been part of the musical topology of düsseldorf since the early seventies: and this particular release pays full tribute to that legacy, with jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag) comprising an eerie piece of swampy lazer-forest rock. this sound is also a modern day staple of düsseldorfs nightlife at the salon des amateurs, a small bar attached to the kunsthalle art gallery that is an oasis of hypnotic disco nightmares. the salon is where der räuber und der prinz made their first live appearance in 2008 (when the original composition for moogwalzer was debuted), and both members of the band frequently play there: ralf beck with his bodyrocking club act unit 4 and sebastian as half of art-rock duo noblesse oblige. meanwhile two of the guests on this release - detlef weinrich also known as toulouse lowtrax, contributing words about a ghostly maiden on moogwalzer, and thomas klein contributing drums to jagd auf den hirsch - are both original members of the quintessential düsseldorf act kreidler. salon dj resident vladimir ivkovic also had a hand in the creative clarion call for the jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag). to complete the circle, düsseldorfs new resident and desolat mainstay guti wrote his remix in the middle of the night in buenos aires, as a kind of letter to his new home-to-be. there we have it: a true tribute to a city we love, with tracks for the dancefloor as well as moments of melancholic contemplation.

philipp >santé< maier has made some crucial intrusions on souvenir: almost a brother-in-law for ali and basti schwarz, he has been fine-tuning tiefschwarz latest album >chocolate< , plugged the power to their new live-act and contributed daily to the good-working order of the imprint at kremmerer straße. as a producer on his own, philipp has got the soul as well as the muscles, two elements perfectly combined, which have made his live-sets one of the most exciting performances of the current berlin scene.

first on decks.de !! >when you dont have a single home, the no man s land of being in transit can be strangely comforting.< heimwehg is a mixture of the german word heimweh (aching for home) and heimweg (the way home). these two words represent the sound of hannes smiths first own release. hannes, born in the former german communist area in 1986, lived in reykjavik for the past two years and wrote this ep about the way back home to germany.

2010 has seen some juicy, off-the-wall techno/electronic vinyl goodies from the head space of little nobody, including the acclaimed >metropolis how?< and >robota< records - with remixes by the likes of james ruskin, justin berkovi, inigo kennedy, dj hi-shock, si begg, patrick pulsinger and steve stoll. but its the originator of the tracks who continues to push the perimeters, recently leading hi-shock, the prolific innovator behind the essential elektrax empire, to suggest that honestly, i think you are at least a couple of years ahead in your musical vision compared to other producers. little nobodys alter ego andrez bergen has also had his head buried this year in the creation of a hardboiled/noir/sci-fi novel called >tobacco-stained mountain goat<, and it was in the midst of this project - with these heady influences - that the get away from it all 12-inch project came to light. thus we got on board bas mooy (planet rhythm/audio assault) and dave tarrida (tresor/musick) to do the two scintillating re-takes here, which are downright brilliant. meanwhile little nobodys troll, on the flip-side, lives up to its claim: its hardboiled and devastatingly dirty electronica. all up, think streetwise, smack-your-glitch-up techno - dark, uber-bassy, dirty and pulsating - just the way we like it, with sardonic samples and a freestyle, postmodern attitude thats invigorating. matched up with the cool artwork by marcin markowski, this is an essential slab of wax for 4:00 am head-caving techno!

alek stark teams up with some of electros freshest talent for this potential electro hit. the original version here is a full-on workout to get down to, with agitated vocal and hard beats, while next in line is the totally sublime >i can see the lights< featuring victoria lukas of zerkalo (heinrich mueller & victoria lukas). not to be over-shadowed however are two stealthily executed reworks from proto 70 and jauzas the shining - most definitely forward thinking electro for the body and mind. this is one ep not to be missed!

short about the label:. a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we are gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it… id love to tell you a lot of things about frank agrario but only a few things are known… his real name is francesco brini he lives in bologna he used to play percussion with swayzak the cheesy italian he is he runs a label called mozzarella recordings(where we also snagged >upgrade<from) last but least, hes handed in two tracks for us. both slightly re-strung in the full pupp k16 lab in oslo, both lethal partystarters now go buy it...

deep underground techno trax goes round two .. tipp!

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.

throughout a recording career spanning almost two decades, dj stingray aka. sherard ingram a.k.a. urban tribe has consistently avoided the mainstream to create a musical world of his own. responsible for the early techno classic >covert action< on retroactive (reissued on planet e), ingram was joined by carl craig, anthony shakir and kenny dixon jr. (moodymann) for urban tribe s debut album >the collapse of modern culture< on mo wax and their latest project >program 1-12< released on kenny dixon jrs label mahogani music and the recent >loyal opposition< releases on planet e. touring as drexciya s official assault dj, stingray collaborated with james stinson for the >other people place ft. mystic tribe a.i.< project on clone in 2002. his two recent albums (>authorized clinical trials< and >acceptable side effects<) and singles for rephlex have remained true to their drexciyan descent, not through imitation but through remorseless innovation in electro aesthetics.

as we are preparing for tom tragos new album, which is due early 20100, we close off toms voyage direct release with the third and final remix ep. this time up and coming amsterdam local dj and beat maker fs green comes up with two remixes, giving both tracks an surprising, new feel. while the more downtempo vibe of his remix of voyage direct wouldnt have been out of place on a beat dimensions release, his remix of lost in the streets goes uptempo and has a cross over dance floor potential. banging! it comes as a limited edition, green vinyl edition.

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011

paul bowens north of england based imprint, luna records, follows up material from justin drake, matthias tanzmann, so inagawa and chris lattner with >supersoul ep< from santorini.
santorini, real name andrea santoro, has delivered material to the likes of upon you, district raw and little helpers in recent years and has won over many djs and floors with his intricately rhythmic house grooves. after remixing paul bowen for lr005, the 26 year old italian was invited to contribute his own single and the >supersoul ep<, comprising two original cuts and a lazy dub from bearweasel, is the result.

two more missives from the leng stable, a stable basking in late afternoon sunshine the whole year round. here we have two remixes of cantoma tracks. on side a is ray mangs remix of under the stars a subtle disco groove, with a sweet rolling bass and a languid horn line that gently eases into the back of your mind, luring you into a hypnotic swirl. over on side-b lexx steps up to deliver an equally stunning take on gambara immdediately setting out a more electronic lilt, the track steadily builds into a mid tempo throb as the vocals wash over proceedings, while flute and acoustic guitar make way for each other in the melody stakes. timeless sounds on both sides evoking the summer just passed

first on decks.de!!! hija de colombia is putting out its second release in the middle of november. after great dj, radio and press reactions on its first release - >loco suenos ep<, there was no need to change much. el nino andres is again the artist, but the music he provides for this releases is a step further in deepness of tech house. anton kordic, who records under the name el nino andres, provides the somophore release, a two track fusion of south american, detroit and berlin influences. title track is a intensive orchestral affair, going for full 14 minutes of drums, big piano hooks and sax layers. b side >illmatico< is a percussion monster, that builds under a catchy organ melody. the cycle repeats every 2 minutes, and tracks subtly builds layers and layers of rhythm.

first on decks.de !! a two tracker of smashing minimal poetry.
a: daegon – subcon2 : shady minimal sounds turn into vivid dance floor intensity. a gently boosting track containing shivering bass lines and nifty rhythmic compositions.
b: daegon – subcon2 (octave remix) : french fellow octave turns the original to a full throttle dj tool, using cushioned basslines that create a massive dancefloor alternative.

intense, deep,raw and dirty tracks by marco bernardi. his first release on clone records in a while and what a record! two tracks build around unpolished rhythms and open beginning that dont reveal immediately where its going. quiet unpredictable is the a-side that slowly opens up with a sultry string and then completely bursts open with a shiny melody that is in beautiful contrast with the raw percussion. broken silence is another deep track founded on a basic rhythm and metallic detroit bass line. topped with spoken words (by keith tucker from aux88) and bleepy melodies, underlaid with a deeper sexy bassline. a track rooted in the best traditions of techno... weve played this one over and over! machine music by men!
