one of japans most intriguing graphic artists >baiyon< has also been producing ethereal and engaging tracks since 1998. having journeyed through cut up hip hop house and dub regions under his conceal moniker, d1 invited him to perform two ecstatically received live sets as baiyon at dublins deaf festival in 2005 and in 2007. now for our 41st in the d1 catalogue we are presenting 4 flawless minimal >trecks< of deep space activity. first up is >s soup< a slick fusion of traditional japanese block grooves and drum machine that climbs its way up into a cloud bursting deep dub house melody explosion. side a is completed by a remix of aforementioned track by south african dj/producer >shane berry< of synewave and trapez fame. the mission continues through >the middle< showing a slightly tougher side to this usually light hearted artist. the plate concludes with a stunning bouncy deep jerky house number >can ride, can walk, cant wait< sweet deep melodies dubbed out over club chuggin beats and a red hot squidge bassline

we are very happy to present you a long time buzzing release finally out on sismic music. its called bloody rain signed under the name of the heels to give it a special flavour as it sounds pop with a strong and melodic hook! various artists put their hands on very original & stylish remixes such as fat phaze (who has remixed the daft punk), slow motion (one of sismic music rosters) and the two winners of the remix contest from october 2007: jonathan perea and leeroy daevis.

minority music follows up a string of strong releases with this dope 2 tracker from label boss hector moralez & floridas hottest new talent latenight society. the original has all the elements we love of moralezs previous work on labels like hudd traxx & robsoul, combine that with latenights nu skool sound and the result is a sure fire dance floor hit. slick soul cuts and synthy stabs along with a dangerous bass line make the a side a must have. jt donaldsons on remix duties under his jtilla alias and lives up to his reputation as one of the best in the business. jts solid signature beats accompanied by deep disco vibes are sure to keep the heads nodding...

debut album by indie rock n roll band correcto from glasgow/uk

finest two tracker full of synth tricks & dynamic percussions !! the german duo of christopher bleckmann and hannes wenner join the hidden agenda family under their main handle misc. best known for their works on sender, klang, kompakt and early asthe alias niederflur this two track ep they offer up is sure not to disappoint fans of their music

a very special compost release with two very rare tracks! the a-side features a great remix of beanfields >tides< with amazing vocals from bajka - of course its not quite up there with the unbelievable carl craig mix but then that would be an uphill struggle. ripperton from the lazy fat people adds his moody, deep slant to the track, less anthemic than carl craig but a more than welcome alternative. this mix was available for a short time as bootleg with ricardo villaloboss remix of depeche modes >sinner in me< on the flip and sold out quickly despite the poor sound quality. finally, one year later, this great tune sees it official release completely remasterd in chrystal clear sound - get it, play it, love it! in 2006 the duo tom wieland and marc frank - better known as 7 samurai - crafted a fine remix of invisible sessions under their panoptikum moniker. when michael reinboth considered this remix for his new future sounds of jazz compilation the guys decided to contribute even a little bit more: an excusive new version which became a definitely highlight of the whole compilation. the panoptikum 2007 remix surprisingly takes a leaf out of innervisions book for a smooth deep houser with a slighty techy sound and a touch of detroit in the vein of Âme or henrik schwarz. in contrast to the vocal version included on fsoj this 12inch features the trippy instrumental version. ace stuff! two must have tracks - all killer, no filler!

with this release the spring buds sprout on upon you. lee jones, member of mymy and daniel dreier have delivered two great early blossoms which- like we have expected, holds no house-spuds under the ground. inspired by the facet richness of the sounds in >a man< on a1, marco resmann went on to plant his special note of funkyness on b1

the rebirth of finalfrontier has brought some new friends within the production circle. carola pisaturo is a long time friend from naples, she has been djing around since 1997. her sound is warm and funky but still very technoish. >passione extra< is a perfect example of her skills. to celebrate this first collaboration with the neapolitan artist, marco passarani steps in with a re-work of the track under the moniker >bass-a-rani<, adding his characteristic synchopated techno beats to the original version.

television rocks is proud to announce that no one less than acidkids aka daniel dexter and markus lange have joinded the family. and they come up with solid rock/disco tunes for all you wild boys under the huge disco ball out there !!

great 3 tracker on 6th studio !! finest driven minimal techno for fans of alex under on the aside > check.. on the flip you will find a also driven remix by alessio mereu and a top head banging tech dub weapon

probably the most popular hard techno imprint around and the brainchild of jackmaster marco remus! the precious pressings were sold out in no time and the crowd is still craving for more jacked-up beats. dj urban (pro-jex, kne deep, 6 feet under) straight from the usa steps and delivers! jackin beats, nasty samples and pure dancefloor mayhem

great 6 track ep with excel. blue electro & tech house by stinkworx, dreesen a.o

g dub get back to their own label under the double zero guise with the absolutely huuuuuge forum fannies a cunning mix of digital bleeps, rolling breakbeats and distorted bass. one that will get the messageboards flashing and no mistake!

as we found this fabolous track from bruce lenkei, we couldnt believe that this was not an original from the cosmic era, instead it is a new production. this track immediately came on to us very strong with its magic sounds and the great atmosphere, which describes the title best. after we included the moonlightzombiedance into our mix for the d.i.r.t.y soundsystem from paris, we got crazy feedback from around the globe and so we decided to put it on wax. on the remix duties we have the hot talented michoacan, who earned himself a very good reputation with 12inches on labels like bear enterainment, grayhound recordings, tiny sticks and lektroluv under his belt. most recently he also got remixed by the almighty dj harvey and the glimmers. he speeded the tempo of the original way up and transformes it into a crazy krautrock stepper in the vain of goblin. it makes the people dance like zombies on speed - we experienced :). if you dig the zombiezombie stuff you will love this one.

back in march 07, drag city issued rtxs second ball busting album, under a title that we all really loved and you did too. but the man! the man came down on them, telling drag city that in a court of law the album with that title would be struck down and that they must cease and rethink. thusly armed, drag city went to rtx and told them that a rebirth was at hand. fortunately, they were up for the change - and ratx is the inevitable result! containing the exact same contents as its former self, ratx has the additional benefit of being released in a super limited vinyl edition.

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

felix dickinson and toby tobias team up to great effect under the name of the mythical beasts on the newie from hector works. low slung funk bass and disco claps and synths make the original a sleazy discoid workout par excellence and as if that wasnt enough both q burns abstract message and nick chacona & anthony mansfield are on the mixes too. q burns mix is nothing to write home about in truth but chacona and chum do good things on their take, upping the tempo and aiming it squarely at the floor. hot!

nice price deal !!! techno, minimal and techhouse under one label! dj support: dj angelo, torres, mauricio vittielo, uto karem, ogi gee cash, darko veble, synchronized, nince leece, ewox, dj sun e,electrik buddiez, sthlm soundmachine, devilfish!

what can i do for you? its been a busy year for yapacc. released a handful of quality releases on wir, the green empire and lessizmore, remixed dole & kom, german pop-duo 2raumwohnung, co-produced three releases with good groove, the studio wizard is also working currently on his very first solo debut - coming out in march 2008 on neutonmusic. with >n!ce< yapacc returns to neutonmusic on where he has collaborated with fadila demirtas. ex-repeat repeat member, mark rutherford, shows his first solo work under his object object moniker. and proves easily why andrew weatherall calls himself a fan: this is dark, somehow trippy, much weirder (and faster) version of the original - which reminds us of submarine raves from back in the late 1950s... played by sven väth

after several successful releases on labels like traum schallplatten, liebe detail, opossum, dimmer, curle rec. etc...he finally releases 3 fascinating and pulsating as well as hypnotic minimal techhouse tracks on killa beat. he is also known for productions under his aliases c.i.t. or schatz & wikinger. this ep shows his sight of minimal techno, either with percussive drumsounds or moody melodies and is a must have for your box.

bomb warning!! well now, the original track should need no introduction here as it was one or eric prydzs biggest productions under the cirez d moniker which originally came out on joia recordings. here we have 2 devastating remixes from possibly two of the biggest producers around at the moment. on the a side deadmau5 really takes the track to a new level utilising the main two original elements of the ravey synth and vocal refrain and created a nuclear bomb by adding his own synth sounds and huge drops.!

with only a couple of releases and remixes (incl antena >bye bye papaye<) under lexx and his more house oriented alias kawabata on drumpoet, he became one of the key figures in the ever growing neo disco scene. we are very proud to announce his first full 12inch on permanet vacation. >axis shift< is an absoulte space boogie bomb. think of innervisions goes disco. sure shot on the floor. >el sueno lucido< is a psychedelic balearic affair with a great guitar play. support comes from lindstrom, bill brewster (last night a dj saved my life), mock & toof (dfa), toby tobias (rekids)...

limited one sided edition !! far out is just that: a track that goes the distance, but without pretension or unnecessary fanfare. more understated than your typical anthem, it cruises in stealth mode, winding a refined, percussive groove ever tighter, threaded onto a pattern of needle-nosed toms that glides almost unnoticed under your skin. unnoticed, that is, until the tracks main riff comes crashing down like an awning full of icicles, sharp and cold and heavy. but sebo ks sense of restraint is such that he never beats us over the head with it, so to speak. instead he lets the groove spiral on, tightening it as he goes and whipping up chilly little sinewave twisters along the way. you can leave your mittens at home, though, because theres enough heat in the rolling bass line to keep you warm all winter long

canadian producer glenn morrison normally teams up with deadmau5 but he is making some great tunes under his own name as well !armin van buuren: support on circles on my podcast and radioshow!sander van doorn: love circles, full support!

jason little only just launched his very own label called jasons mask and already the demand is huge! to celebrate the start of a very successful enterprise he drops the bomb on us ahead of the initial planning. jason collaborates with probably the most popular techno duo of hard-techno: pet duo of kne deep fame! this is a monster - do not consume under the age of 16 and do not use when submitted to a history of heart problems! these pets are hard to handle!

step forward dubfire (aka ali shirazinia from grammy winning dj and production duo deep dish) whos already hit top form this summer with some tasty releases on desolat, funkwelle.net and whose thumping >emissions< features on the minus compilation >expansion contraction<. the beauty of this rework is that it doesnt stray far from the original vibe. dubfire pays the track the full respect it deserves, adding contemporary beats, bass and hat patterns, subliminal efx and tweaks that perfectly compliment the eq sweeps and machine gun snare rolls of the original. panikattack (originally released on plus 8 in 1996 as the b side to sickness) gets a more radical overhaul with guido schneider turning in a typically pragmatic version. by excavating and enhancing the gritty funk that lies buried under the feverish textures of the original, he discovers a totally new dimension. combining the plastik elements with his own trademark swing and razor sharp percussion programming, schneider coaxes the track out of the shadows for some serious peak time action as the bassline bounds forward relentlessly occasionally enveloped by stuttering delays, to negotiate its way through the dubbed out breakdown and on to the end

massive house / electro house tune from down under. includes axwell remix and dirty south dub

played by anja schneider , tiefschwarz ... voodeux is the deep techno moniker of tanner ross & kilowatts (from dirtybird.) on >the curse< ross & watts expand their catalog of sound beyond the funk and into the sublime. instead of swiggles and bounce, we get creeping basslines and chilling echoes. with >thriller< as a distant relative, side a1 makes for the graveyard, zombies in tow, and as the track matures, so do the chills on the back of your spine. >the spell< goes one step further, taking the sound of a distant train, shards of ghoulsound and an ancient wind under a pulsing beat and chiming melodies. its halloween on wax. mike shannon, founder of cynosure and master of all things trippy, puts his own well-crafted stamp on this dark sound. shannon has recorded for ~scape, force inc. and many more. and no ones gonna save you from the beats about strike

off-key limited is a new subsidiary label of off-key industries whose aim is to give exposure to new artists alongside established producers and to bring a wider range of genres with less of a focus on the dancefloor. each release will be strictly limited and will not be repressed. we start by raiding the off-key vaults to unleash a series of releases entitled >the dust off<, featuring material written in the off-key studio over the years by matt o brien and various collaborators and associates. matt kicks off the ep with >a new page turns<, a bangin dubby detroit techhouse cut driven by a low slung rhythm and analog stabs dripping in reverb, overlayed with a melodica riff which calls to mind the smokey refrains of augustus pablo. next up is >untitled< by newcomer mat gates, a beatless slice of electronica whose understated melodies conjure up thoughts of late summer evenings of times gone by. on the flip, o brien and gates combine under the artist name kimble to bring you >epiphany<, led by a shimmering melody underpinned with haunting strings which combine to form an electro track of rare beauty. this diverse ep is completed with mat gates second contribution, >in a hole<, a drum n bass track with a disjointed, skeletal rhythm, sub bass drops and fragile, melancholy melody.
