nach dem überzeugenden debut von eve white folgt nun das zweite release des in hamburg/berlin sitzenden labels contentismissing. 2008 erhebt sich crowdpleaser aus dem genfer underground. sein album >2006<, mit dem er in kooperation mit dem lausanner st. plomb auf mental groove ein meisterwerk vorgelegt hat, wurde auf ganzer linie von der presse gewürdigt (album of the year.. in pitchfork media, etc.). zahlreiche albumtitel wurden für dj-mixe von michael mayer, m.a.n.d.y oder hernan cataneo lizensiert. nun folgt eine 12&#8243, maxi auf contentismissing.

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<

huge minimal deep & detroit infected techno !!! berlin underground style

nice price deal !!! berlin-based dj kaos has been producing twisted disco tunes for a number of years and has been an integral part of the berlin underground scene. last year’s single cerebral tremolo was released by nyc’s rong, but was also picked up by parisian tastemakers, kitsuné, and his newest single panopeeps features a killer remix by shit robot. his turn at remixing has proved fruitful as well, including work for rodion, tom vek, chk chk chk, roxy music, and new young pony club. he has also been part of the faith recordings ’collectors series’ mix cds, with danse, gravite zero which he co-produced with sal principiato, of the legendary liquid liquid. his latest project called ’ bingo volume one ’ and features various edits of the good old times . expect nothing short of amazing, with a range from acid techno to true-blue disco.

supported by agaric, dave dk, deetron, seko k, sian and many more... yet another cutting edge minitech release from berlin based avant-garde label minimood, this time feat. upcoming swiss underground artists liviu and gregorythme.

detroit artists seth troxler & patrick russell join forces for their first ep >valt trax< on circus company in what is obviously a successful piece of teamwork. seth troxler, now living in berlin, has been attracting attention with his spacey, funky atmospheric releases on labels such as spectral, items & things (as thrill cosby), omarss fxhe ( as young seth), esperanza, beretta grey, leftroom, and dumb unit, moving into more and more interesting territories with every one of his releases. the idea behind the ep was to recreate a vibe identical to that of the heyday of underground dance music and instant insanity of the early 90s on a record that sounds like it was lost in a dusty vault for 20 years and just rediscovered.

unique production duo teams up with acclaimed holland-born producer nicolay for a remix of their popular underground hit. feat. victor st. clair

uncompromising underground techno tunes between genres like detroit and chicago acid-house

3 minimal techhouse vibes...really underground tunes!!

sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

3 track hardcore massacre

a two track 12 inch of electrifying, catchy and simply deep underground music. side a, espac ( the shorter name variation of espace), is a funky, moody and cosmic sound sculpture that fits well into the minimal tech category. this track contains a bass-laden brass morphing sound which converts to a more trumpet horn like sound. the loudness and resonance of this lead sound will definitely grab the attention of the audience. strings from outer space, claps with a live funky feeling, shuffled hats and a radioactive background noise >wicked!!! side b, f.e.b., contains more morphing and electrifying hi pass resonance chord sounds. these sounds are combined with a warm stringful waving wall sound, a heartbeat like pulsating bass line and a simple offbeat playing open hi-hats. this track is relaxing but exciting at the same time which is sure to pack the dance floor!!

support by gregor tresher, karotte, james holden, oliver huntemann.... another stunning extrawelt ep. >disttheme< is the name of this long awaited 3-tracker. the last two years have been busy for the two hamburg based extrawelt guys. single releases on cocoon and traum and remix work on labels such as underwater, confused, different and global underground on the one hand and heavy touring all around the globe on the other hand - that have been busy times indeed. besides this extraordinary schedule, we got the chance to pick these three energetic tracks and now we got them pressed on vinyl finally. this is a high quality mixture of techno, neotrance and house, choosing the best ingredients of all three styles in order to create top notch club music. a fantastic follow-up on kompass musik.

next hit from the spanish label suruba, spektre presents the next heavy bomb after released on labels like dance electric, global underground, ufo... great tracks for lovers of audion, dubfire, tiefschwarz or audiofly

the ron hardy tribute juggernaut rolls on with two more flashes of enlightenment. a slice of salsoul scorcher is paired with the cooler vibe from chris & cosey. >i remember ron hardy dropping nitzer ebb (hard industrial band) in between records by marshall jefferson and adonis.< says scott k. (more club, los angeles >in urb magazine theres an article on felix da housecat where he mentions frankie knuckles dropping cuts from bands like new order. he then credits (rightfully so) ron hardy for starting that.< >ron was more adventurous that frankie knuckles. frankie would play straight disco but ron would play all kinds of stuff. hed play eurythmics, he play man parrish, hed play shannon, right along with the disco. and man, he just stole all of frankie knuckles crowd.< - marshall jefferson deep underground chicago staple of music played by the chose few to the ones who truly know how deep it is. now its time for the masses to feel the real deepness of the true chicago 80s era of music. only ten percent of what happened here in the 80s, is known to the rest of the world. dont you want to be a member?

anil chawla is relatively a newcomer on the uk scene, having emerged in 2004 as dj to watch, he already released productions on such labels as global underground, saved, cubism, or berwick. anil has been sending me his work for quite some months now and everytime there was a track to play. so its naturally that we started talking about a possible release on kill brique. anils music got the necessary energy to move any dancefloor, he knows the game, and he knows how to shake your ass. this ep is here to prove that : >together< is an acid monster (reminds me, oh surprise, some of the hardfloor stuff) that builds into a very nice breakdown

two new brilliant deep techhouse underground club tunes!!!

the homewreckers sound deep funky, peerlessly adventurous, with elaborate clicking beats, beautifully organized riots of ideas crowding every track. their first album american ruhr will drop first half of 2008. the first release of the homewreckers feat. kemo its about time on unique records is a beautiful monster jam that will destroy dance floors all over the world. the homewreckers style plows right over any preconceived notion you may have about the current funky underground grind. its about time is such a lusciously deep track where tradition and innovation meet. tradition as in the soulful roots of 70s funk and house music, innovation as in the streamlined, sparse arrangements and shrewd use of technology. the homewreckers truly master rhythm and space - and hawaii born kemo fully adapts to the music and the atmosphere with his amazing spoken word poetry.

hustle & flow are brian anderson and ryan kick from new york city and they are debuting on european soil with this crispy 3 track funkster. this city is the home of artists as masters at work, armand van helden and so on but lately a new wave of underground house music producers has been emerging from the big apple with fresh names like troydon, 1200 warriors and these guys. the room service ep serves you 3 ultra funky modern house tunes that will be played by your house heroes derrick carter, dj sneak, dj heather and jason hodges. first track play it again is the most boompty cut of the lot with its melting sub bass and one of the most danceable house cuts of the last months, no doubt. untouchable has this amazing double theme that puts instant smiles on the dance floors worldwide with its great jazzy sax break. the deeper cut on this ep is locals only which has some slick rhodes action going on, a favorite amongst many house deejays. another winner for the tracky sister label of aroma recordings.

after the hugely popular conf006 (inc bitch fuck) comfortable records returns with three choice underground cuts. 76-79 (aka label owners vigo & tomski) show they are adept at creating 3 totally fresh and edgy house cuts that will appeal to a minimal or tech house floor. however if house/minimal is not energetic enough for you, check >six ten< for a record that llies halfway between techno & house & is layered with some very nice old school sounds. this ep really breaks the mold!! in the past when these artists have released tracks they have had a massive amount of praise from the likes of laurent garnier, rob mello, mr scruff, charles webster & fabrice lig. this release is a prime example of why they deserve such high merits & is destined to becoming just at large as comf006

incl michael gray remix !! splittr is the meeting of minds of martijn ten velden and mark yardley (from stanton warriors fame), two of modern dance musics biggest production heavyweights. as splittr, mark and martijn combine their collective skills and tastes to produce a dance/rock hybrid (new order infected guitar part) and a very fresh take on electronic music. in fact they started the project to give them the opportunity to split awayfrom any preconceptions people may have of them and any musical restrictions dance music genres can create. their first release, >all alone< (which sees mark take on vocal duties), has already created an underground buzz, with pete tong playing it on almost a weekly basis from the start of the year, regular spot plays on radio1 and major support coming from the likes of roger sanchez and deep dish. splittr are clearly set to take their sound worldwide

the p-posse cracks two more tunes and turn them into propelling dancefloor tunes. starting with a special trip the a-side pulls a well known rock formation back into the underground. this will amuse you for sure. the flip should definitly ring some bells. the biggest smasher from techno legend mills gets a rerub and is injected with some rollin funk

raiders present an awesome electro techno track that starts from a atmoshperic string piece and slowly builds to detroit influenced techno, electro track.. very nice! galaxy 2 galaxy (aka mad mike, underground resistance) who gave the track extra energy by turning this into a classic galaxy 2 galaxy track with the typical knights of the jaguars (mad mike) strings and a smooth funking beat. last version is a stripped down and effective los hermanos mix

sistrum recordings, out of detroit , is back with another deep underground ep from label owner-producer patrice scott. the new release * motions ep* , is the forth installement for sistrum recordings and once again the deep house heads will not be disappointed.

dark & melancholic underground tech incl margot remix and a more dancfloor orientated christian pugliese & sandro russo remix

rmxs by paul ritch & guillaume & the couto dumonts >2 fast 4 u< was one of the stand-out tracks from kook kook, a tune positioned somewhere wonderful between techno, house and disco, and of course it appears on this 12” in its original form. but for the lead track, lopazz hands over the reins to paul ritch, whose string of fine releases over the past year or so – for labels like resopal, fumakilla and get physical – have made him one of the scenes most sought-after names. a single-minded 4x4 pulse sets the pace, providing the basis for increasingly intense, tribalesque percussion, and dubbed-out samples of lopazz s original instrumentation. this unbelievably deep, hypnotic remix demonstrates an allegiance to both classic detroit techno and the razor-sharp vanguard of modern day minimal techno. on the flip, lopazz offers >2 4 fast u< to another underground techno visionary for re-interpretation,this time guillaume, also known as guillaume and the coutu dumonts. beautifully produced, exuberant eps for mutek and hartchef discos have seen guillaume become a producer of note to those in the know

just touched down on the runway and pulling straight into the music response exec s arrivals is a brand new label, imprint music. founded in early 2007 by dj and producer joshua hewitt. based in manchester, england, the label has been set up with the aim of injecting a new life into the underground house scene and to keep the house music we all know and love alive. imprints music policy is to put out the freshest house tracks ranging from the deep sounds of the undergound, to more straight up jackin music. the underlying sound will always be driven towards deep, jazzy, tracky and funky house music. imprint music is concentrating on only bringing you quality house music from both renowned and up and coming artists from around the globe.
