aus einem unendlich reichen referenzuniversum schöpft christian naujoks die inspirationen für sein debutalbum auf dial records

after the great success of his first e.p. “beach kisses , emerging spanish talent dosem delivers two new floor bangers. on the a, dosem presents “silent drop” a highly infectious anthem bound to fit the appetite of djs from a wide spectrum of genres… a track sure to make listeners yearn for more as it builds and builds until the main melody breaks free and all hell breaks loose! massive whether treated as house or techno!on the b, “paraiso” bursts out as if there is no tomorrow… not for the faint hearted, a techno floor killer if you want to call it that, but one thing for sure watch the dancefloor burn when you play this out!all in all a huge e.p. that will set a milestone for a new techno sound to come

one year after his first ep on cargo edition, kostas tassopouls aka ekkohaus delivers to the label another incredibly strong release. the native-born greek, now living in berlin, has developed into an skilled producer who rides the line between techno and house. the combination of reduced, hypnotic and impulsive arrangements with a subtle deepness are typical of ekkohaus’ sound, demonstrated perfectly in the two tracks of this ep. “unsound” is characterized by his smooth, almost elegant rhythm. a repetitive meandering vocal sample weaves through the track, sounding familiar yet haunting at the same time. the track is already played by many key dj’s and is definitely to be heard more often within the next months to come. “moon talking” focuses on a more standard vocal which gives the track some pop-appeal. at the same time the introverted male vocal introduces a very catching harmony which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the dancefloor. with this ep, ekkohaus cements himself as one of the modern-house talents.

autodiscotheque continue their demonstration only series of cut up dancefloor weapons with two top edits from alexandra parade (rumoured to be none other than legendary optimo selector and editor j.d. twitch). first up is barneys bubbles a heavily chicago influenced take on movin by brass construction. on the flip bronski beats classic smalltown boy is chopped and teased into a jackin slice of arpeggiated nrg bliss called ruchill rumpus that delivers maximum impact.

their first two releases sold out instantly and are already super sought after 12inches in what has become something of a crowded market for re edits and amends. after hearing the labels next two releases we jumped on the chance to share them with you! four killer and far less obvious tracks from various scissor wielding producers, head and shoulders (ahem !) above the competition. limited quantities as always folks get your beard on...

two heavy floor-smashers from dirty electro-house-flavour to subtle and bass-driven minimal-sound with great feedback and support by tiefschwarz, david keno, mathew jonson, pelle buys, xenia beliayeva, james talk, perc, claudio ponticelli + many more!

8 tracks, 8 styles - 1 label to bring it all together: dosed recordings by myles serge!

sven weisemann comes with something quite removed from his usual oeuvre for the likes of styrax, mojuba or liebe*detail etc with a luxurious 7 inch, flexing his esoteric jazz and cinematic production skills for the newly minted essays imprint. theres no dancefloor ambitions here as weisemann allows himself some time to explore opulently textured downbeats and dubby ambience on two gorgeously crafted tracks for late night/early morning play. >rootless< is a delicious 5 minutes of melancholy detroit emotions with stunningly spacious sound design, while >garden of fantasy< on the flip sways with a slowhouse rhythm and brilliantly intangible synth pads that will transform the atmosphere of any space its played in. completely lush and utterly seductive, plus it plays backwards! limited copies - hurry.

another 2 great artists featured on naked lunch records. mark williams is one of the most respected artists from the uk. he is truly a veteran, and he has paid his dues over more than two decades on the scene as a dj and producer. he released a staggering catalogue of quality tracks on some of the most respected techno labels in the world including: tortured, dark house, pure plastic, phont, primate, and carl cox?s ultimate trax imprint, to name a few. this time on naked lunch, he delivers 2 huge tunes, funky & hypnothic just how we like it. at this moment axel karakasis is internationally recognized as the best known greek techno dj for his full of energy 3 decks sets and featuring rigorous musical selection that portrays his style.after many years of hard work in the studio and together with spiros kaloumenos he launches omega audio recordings. having made omega audio a very respected label in the scene, axel is now channelling all his energy into his own brainchild, remain records. for naked lunch he specially prepared tetris & rebellion, both beeing played out by many djs, receiving great feedback.

probably the most outrageous promo reaction playtime has ever seen, jazz thang is what happens when you ask two producers to work together who are both just millimetres away from the bigtime. on one side you ve got andre crom s jazz thang, an - unsurprisingly - jazzy number that builds on the wonkier material he s already known for with safari electronique, leftroom, memo and sender. also on the a is gettin funky, a retro-90s house number with contemporary bass. but then on the b, you ve got riva starr s amazingly catchy and fluid re-rerub of jazz thang - which has struck a chord from the nu ravers (massive - tommie sunshine) to the commercial djs like d ramirez and even tocadisco, the ubercool underground types like karotte and marcus vector, and of course the king of wonk, claude von stroke

the ep >black is back< shows no mercy for the house hype, two chord melodies and fluffy cloud beats. the titletrack pushes through the crowd, moves upfront and wants to work, rock and shake the dancefloor. space detective and minuteman may be less aggresive but still they want to touch you from behind and move you. you shall welcome them as intimate strangers when you meet them again. biography lars wickinger music was always his way companion and his passion

stuart li aka basic soul unit is no unknown in the game, but hes new to our camp. after following his output for some time now, we finally could sign two tracks of his raw and edgy techno for philpot. >dank< is a growing piece of pure space funk! resonating basslines and banging drums collide with twisted arpeggios, fall apart and rise again… caused mayhem when tested out! >the stand< starts with some oldschool flavoured breaks to shuffle its way into bleepy heavens of acid-infected wildpitch craze! people, we must rise up from our graves! zeitlos, wie man bei uns sagt

this is the first single cut from the new lawrence album which will be released in the late summer. >jill< contains two deep & melodic house tracks as well as two ambient tracks for your laidback activities

deleted - two deep but smashing house remixes by parisian noze and canadian superproducers the mole

watch ya feet is a beast with two heads as not one to do things by halves gavin has presented not one but two mixes, which both reflect the mood and scene of each of his homes. on the berlin mix, gavin captures the innocent late night energy and rawness of a berlin dancefloor. the twisted bassline, eerie tech house groove and warped noises roll along while the chicago-esque horns shriek out over the chaos. the london mix truly conjures up memories of londons finest venues, whether it be fabric or the end through to the afterhours of kubikle and retox. the groove here is a lot crisper than the german offering with the horn hook taking the to a euphoric climax. ewan pearson is one of the most highly acclaimed producers / remixers around, with past work including goldfrapp and the chemical brothers. his remix is one of pure energy as the track is transformed, through flawless production, into a sinister powerhouse of rising electro-techno that would feel at home in the sets of the likes of smagghe, weatherall, richards and mayer to name but a few.

after the success of >disco trix vol. one< hardgroove continues the party vibes with trix vol. two, yet more familiar classics are wacked thru the sampler by mr ben and pumped up for peaktime useage in true hardgroove fashion. this ep features 2 different mixes of >dollar bill y all< as we couldn t decide of the definative version so lazily put both on, >reject 2< which was commissioned as a remix for spain s >dj nuke< but unused and >in the middle< which in our humble opinion is the finest slice of disco fromage sims has created so far

50 weapons is a secretive project from two superstar german producers who love their moms and recently celebrated a very happy birthday. all releases are anonymous and limited edition vinyl only. no digital release! for the second outing the boys have handed over their most treasured loops to be mashed up by their best berlin buddies... and the result is something quite amazing!... blending dubstep, old school rave and good ole jacking techno. we are sworn to secrecy not to reveal their true identities but we can tell you these remixers have between them recorded on labels like boysnoize, exploited and bpitch control and more.

literon and ovatow exchanged elements for this ultra heavy dub techno release. permutation one is literons original take and is build on an outstanding punchy groove with a sort of oldschool-ish club vibe, and with multiple layers of dub effects sprinkled on top of that. this is peak time techno at its best. ovatow takes us way deeper with permutation two. taking the original elements and drown them in gated effect processors and reshaping it to a deep, smokey, bass heavy monster that carries his unique and delicate sound signature. check!

sounds between dr.rockit and christianvogel! two amazing distorted and filtered club techno cuts out of the mainstream. special limited colored vinyl!!

debuting with >i believe< on the monumental (10 records) compilation >techno 2: the next generation< (alongside carl craig, marc kinchen, and jay denham) in 1990. octave one is the brainchild of the phenomenal native sons of detroit, mi (usa), the burden brothers. the band, (made up of lenny burden and lawrence burden), have had the privilege of touring live and djing throughout the world, including the countries of germany, spain, greece, belgium, vienna, the netherlands, the uk, ireland, scotland, malaysia, japan, the us, and russia, among many other places. throughout their careers they have worked with such artists as derrick may, underground resistance, juan atkins, anthony shake shakir, among others. they have remixed tracks for such artists as massive attack, akabu (joey negro), dj rolando (jaguar), steve bug, john thomas, the trampps, rhythim is rhythim, and inner city. two years of live touring and three years of recording come together for the brothers latest musical offering. reaching back and rejuvenating their pure electronic detroit sound, o1 produce a dance floor heavy techno journey. >summers on jupiter< showcases the burdens signature rough and tumble production style. several tracks are already gracing the decks of the likes of jeff mills, laurent garnier, carl craig, richie hawtin, and claude young among many others. to celebrate their first studio album in four years, octave one take the electronic beat down on the road through 2009.

the first release for 2009 on universal vibes welcomes new artist keep the secrets. after a long history of musical trial and error, john renfrow and deric jones decided that it was time to take a different direction in their musical vision. it started two years ago with a simple beat and a slow jazz guitar, and soon developed into an eclectic fusion of musical expression. each note ebbs and flows with hints of many different styles and genres. both members of keep the secrets have found level ground in creating a sound that ambitiously exceeds the musical standards of today, and have vowed to honor their dreams by releasing songs that they love. with a definite balearic vibe running throughout, they compliment the uv vibe perfectly while adding a new stylistic angle. label head paddy freeform provides two edits which stretch the tracks out into dancefloor heaven.

olmeto’s first release of 2009 takes the flamenco bull by the horns and drops a track of such spanish influence, you’ll think you’re at las ventas! señor bushwackas ‘dromederie’ neatly entangles beautifully mournful spanish guitars, passionate feet stomping flamenco dancers with modern glitches to create a seriously ferocious tune with an underlying feeling of treachery. the percussive elements embroiled in the final three minutes (specially edited as a dj tool for the creative amongst you) are so unique, the reaction evoked on any primed and ready dancefloor has to be seen to be believed…it’s a tune you’re not going to forget in a hurry! side two, ‘the blues’ takes an altogether slower, more winding approach but is sure to draw you in from the off. whilst we are reminded ‘this is the blues’, rising melodies and catchy loops reminiscent of grooving disco transport you to a sleazy den of dance iniquity. marking the twentieth release on layo & bushwacka’s olmeto imprint, ‘dromederie’ & ‘the blues’ are a stunning representation of the forward thinking dance music this label has to offer. not to be ignored.

untill last year sound and stereo were just two words that popped up every once in a while in your hifi-installation s manual. in the beginning of 2008 those two words stopped being just random: sound of stereo saw the light of day. in only a few months time they conquered the hearts of music lovers all over the world. the belgian scene also responded really well to their presence and they were noticed rather fast by the famous lektroluv label. in november their first ep came out and had massive response in belgium and abroad. one of the singles on that ep – supah dupah – is said to be played over 100 times each weekend in belgium alone . a follow-up ep is nothing more than a logic continuation of this succes. the new single heads up! is already being tracklisted by the likes of crookers and bloody beetroots. bloody beetroots liked the track so much that they decided to make a remix of it, as well as dj manaia, a portuguese wonderboy from the kuduro-surroundings of buraka som sistema. at the end of february the new ep will be presented at culture club ghent, one of belgium s most legendery clubs, where international bigshots such as 2manydjs and the glimmers had a residency. in the beginning of march the heads up! ep will be available online and in the shops. so get your rocks off, your heads up and enjoy the sound of stereo!

persistencebit returns with the follow up ep of wang incs meditations for a better world series, which first part on persistencebit has been highly acclaimed and has been given incredible reviews, such as in de.bug magazine among many others. previously on sonig, bip-hop, and context, he now reappears with number two of the series and once you start listening you will know it all makes sense, given how close in spirit wang inc. s fresh fusion of experimental treatments and funk-house grooves is laid down. throughout the ep, wang speckles his fabulous metal machine music with rolling bass lines, high-stepping beats, and brilliant splashes of synthetic colour, whether it s the pounding stepper mind the gap or the pulsating future-funk of you are late a near-perfect fusion of experimental and dance musics, hyperactive dog splatters its house-inflected steam-roller with showers of whirr and click, and animates it with snares that hit so hard they could chop your head off. in the closer track this is the song to say goodbye he brings us electronic noise and beat madness to round things up and create a diverse sounding listening experience

this hot new e.p. for dessous introduces two new artists to its roster, in the form of well known and highly respected producer & dj ripperton, who runs the successful perspectiv label, alongside co-owner and recording artist sam k. this mixed and exciting release is headed off by the deeply spaced and simply hypnotic ‚eze‘, a straight collaboration between ripperton and sam k. its bouncing, deep techno pump underpins the track and keeps the pressure constant, while a wonderful phasing synth motif is explored and unfurled as the journey continues. beautiful atmospheric modern dance music! next sam k takes the reigns alone as he introduces the slower, fantastic world of ‚desperate housetrack‘. the title might be a clue to where the melody takes its inspiration, but this tough little groover has more than one surprise up its sleeve, showing off sam‘s love for slow burning, thoroughly explored arrangements. ‚slipstream‘ is ripperton‘s own unique solo voyage through contemporary acid house. its a stripped, low-riding jam that harks back messages from days of old but still had that fresh 21st century sound going on. a great dj tool and indeed a bold statement about the merits of keeping it deep!
