hot off the heals of the core series reissue of >i feel the rhythm<, slow to speak offers its latest edition of prescription family represses: glenn undergrounds >mighty real groove<. released under his early moniker, c.v.o, >mighty real groove< beats into even the most stubborn ears the truth of trent & co.s collective of hand-picked mid-west talent. the 1995 masterpiece is a devastating, pulverizing party-rocker that utilizes the used and abused sylvester sample so typical of the disco era and re-cultivates its simple universality in a way that avoids the cliches of discos expired optimism. add the smart chord progression and one of the most un-subtle, chest-reverberating, entrails-twisting, thor-hammering bass lines ever to grace a deep house record and you have >mighty real groove<: a party jam that still wields the musical elegance and warmth of the prescription catalog. hammered to death by theo parrish & so many more, this time-tested c.v.o classic has signed up for a second tour of duty, spreading the true underground gospel to those unbelievers who still dwell in the mansion of shadow and despair

>world music< is the second 12 inch from washington, dc based protect-u. as the title suggests, protect-u grooves to global soundz, but this newest release–once again brought to you by future times–is total mutant house/techno. on the a-side, synth lines bubble like 80s-style francis bebey, then burn up into a space-pulse overdrive. the flip, >u-uno<, is an underwater electro-sitar dream straight outta 24th century india, followed by a slo-mo dub of >world music< that slips back and forth between digital jamaica and european nu-romance.

nocturbulous is proud to present his 2nd release. qubo will be feature from label owner himself, jean bruce with two exclusive remixes, from andr dalcan and david carretta. the sound is again under 80s and early 90s influences. qubois now ready to make the dance floor burn

big with julien chaptal, luciano, gel abril, mihai popoviciu, keinemusik crew, nekes, affkt, meat, anthony collins, luca doobie, mirco violi, varoslav,.. dj sneak-fans, check this one out! the connection between off and italy has always been strong, now another promising act from the italian capital rome will be added to the off roster. >mad & son< is a massive floorburner, possibly one of the most danceable tracks ever released on off. a huge classic italo-disco-sample cut up, looped and accompanied by self-played keys, a massive groove and killer bassline. off-regular dj w!ld delivers one of his classical linear and toolish mixes, taking back the use of the discoloop and focusing more on the groove. >phased< works quite similar to >mad & son<, also working with a discoloop but adding raw spoken-wordvocs. dancefloor-destruction guaranteed. >whats going on< is probably the most sneak-ish tracks of the bunch, an intense filtered loop, jacking beat, techhousy groove and driving vocals.

supported by: radio slave, robert dietz, lauhaus, alex celler, matt tolfrey, slam, anthea, konrad black, anthony collins,.. air london presents the debut solo release from adam shelton. already releasing music with subb-an (either as subb-an & shelton or under their sas guise), air trax marks the first full release for adam in his own right, and its one hell of an introduction. both tracks here have been made for the late night hours as adam shelton really gets into his gritty groove with this speaker-busting double hitter. >crazy talk< starts off with a hypnotic rolling drumbeat and a fixating, echoing vocal that builds until the driving bassline kicks in and leaves you hooked. on the flip >do not attempt< is another killer cut with clipped broken beats and crisp hi-hats. a shady vocal, uttered throughout, is swathed in siren cries and more brooding bassline

this killer release by echonomist proves to be one of his most diverse and promising attempts as he switches in between dance styles like houdini. the collaboration with dans mon salon in isolation is a wondering imaginative road trip into the avenues of detroit, driving in a black car as the boomy rhythmic sequence meets with high end pad strings, a haunting stuck acid bass-line and the vocals of a tortured soul seeking salvation. techno structure with modern tools.

following the shock success of t. williams >heartbeat<, voted #3 dance track of the year by us itunes, local action returns for 2011 with the debut 12 inch by contakt.
contakt hails from the midwest, but now lives in new york, where he helps run the acclaimed turrbotax® parties. the sinden-championed >not forgotten< is an ideal introduction to the balance he gets between detroit techno and contemporary underground club music, with huge galloping drums and fiery synths, while the b-side is dedicated to a stunning remix by rolando (underground resistance / ostgut-ton), and a real sleeper hit in the dark, stabbing >rhodophyta<.

>magic mountain< is a real stunning & sophisticated solid ep. recognition s labelhead intrigues with extraordinary attention that can only come from a history of many years. his soundpatterns find the right balance between order and messiness and he knows exactly when to take things out and when to bring them back in.

repress !! blackest ever black is a new london-based label that seeks to re-establish electronic music as a poetic, provocative and emotionally inquisitive force. music by artists, not engineers. its first release is a self-titled ep by raime, a british duo who draw explicit inspiration from the marginal mavericks of early european goth, industrial and synth wave - artists largely omitted from the current master narrative of post-punk history, and who strove to make music at once cerebral and visceral, futuristic and atavistic. well-versed in the language of club music, but rejecting its typically rigid sequencing and arrangements, raime use technology pensively - to convey a sense of crisis, collapse and longing. transporting and disorienting though their work might be, its narratively taut and has no truck whatsoever with the cosmic, its too aggressive and engaged to be called psychedelic.

iberian records comes out of a hibernation period with the a series of >tax haven< eps. this first ep comes from a group of producers located in the barcelona bass enclave and who have been some of the main players in the monthly b.low events there. dedicated to what the label describes as bass n groove, this ep contains three varied and original sounding tunes with different bpms suited to the leftfield of various bass music fields (dubstep/funky/future garage etc).

after the big succes of hi tech booty, we searched for some really special guys out there to put hand on ahmets bomb. well here it is. a1 comes from maetrik which was a strong desire of ahmet and for sure an excellent choice. he totally brings in his own style while getting a little bit closer to the darkside of the track. a2 is a special collab between rainer, which we know from the last regular stock5 record together with cesare vs disorder and viudez, a mexican guy that seems to have a very nice influence to the production style. the vocal is very present but placed, arranged and transformed geniously. for sure a weapon! b1 is written by our special friend chris sylvester aka inxec. starting with a very housy groove, it falls quickly into a hypnotic mood that is unique in inxec productions. he really knows what the dancefloor requires and for this we are very happy to have him again in our release roster. b2 presents a very new and fresh artist called rico casazza. he interprets the track in a very detroit way, works verz little with the vocal but hits it very perfectly for the sense of the track. after this debut on our imprint you can be sure to hear more of this young guy in the next time!!!

danish producer martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on techno and house. his very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. with his debut record on cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. the mzuzu ep is all about bass. the bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. while the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. the basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in ones mothers womb. it arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. martinez reorganises the structure of house music: the lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. the tracks rarely need anything else. the icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. >mzuzu chant< & >adagio< are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space

gb returns with >the xpander ep< fresh from his recently released >interprets…< project. here he flips styles & produces in the realm of electronic dance & ministers the marriage between analog synthesis & prayer ->the xpander< & >the dreamer<. hot!

keyboard masher came to our attention with their incredible debut km editions 1 ep early last year, selling out immediately through the handful of uk outlets lucky enough to get a few. as a fairly under the radar operation from london town, enthusiasts and champions of the good stuff, km have kindly allowed us to help them move the sensibly titled and equally brilliant km editions 2 ! picking up plaudits from titans of balearia like phil mison, moonboots etc, km editions 2 is a heady mix of early 80s, synth drenched boogie (amor & satisfaction), arabic influenced folk-funk (discotheque arabe) and a beautiful alan parsons style mid-tempo jam in the shape of >tartari< really very special indeed...

to kick-start the fina campaign we literally hunted high and low to find an artist and sound that we felt would represent us and give a statement of intent. what we didnt expect was for this search to take us south of the equator and into to the deep southern hemisphere. this is not the first place that you would expect to hear warm, deep underground house but this is exactly what you get with the melbourne based mic newman. and thinking about it, it doesnt get warmer or deeper than melbourne does it? mic is a young producer who we believe is destined for greatness. at the age of 29, hes already had a string of underground smashes on labels such as murmur, tsuba, dirt crew, freerange, and now for fina records. the intriguingly named live east, die young ep (mic riffing on his time spent living in london) sees what mic doing what he does best and demonstrates why his future is so bright. on die young, the tougher a-side, mic keeps the beats solid, and the groove tight and hypnotic, while the smooth chord stabs get right under your skin. prolonged foot tapping ensues. on the flip side, live east, mic takes it a little deeper with ever so subtle disco touches. the vocal sample asks what your name is and to take off your jacket as if to welcome you to a very messy after hours on this mcde-esque low-slung house groove. on remix duty, the on-form jacques renault and marcos cabral aka runaway, lift the track out of the south hemisphere and take it in a north easterly direction all the way to the caribbean – adding plenty of steel drums and pads on their interpretation of live east

thomas fehlmann is integral to kompakt and the labels history. his solo releases and collaborative work with alex patterson as the orb have been some of the kompakts most revered and cherished tunes. following the success of his 2010 full length gute luft (a collection of re-edited versions from his score to the hit documentary 24hr berlin), we start 2011 off with titan one / dfm. on october 16, 2010 thomas fehlmann performed in montreal, canada at the historic molson coors brewery building together with members of the montreal symphony orchestra (osm). together they sought to recreate a version of gustav mahlers classic symphony no. 1 (titan). kompakt is proud to now offer a new recording inspired by that epic concert of symphonic and electronic with a new recording inspired from that performance – renamed as titan one. the hum of cellos and strings conjoin fehlmanns electronics – held together by the sublime, unobtrusive thump of a bass drum. titan one flows with a beauty and edacity that is rarely heard in both classical and electronic music form. the b-side features a new recording inspired from the second piece of the performance - a new version of thomas fehlmanns du fehlst mir from his 2006 kompakt full length visions of blah. reanimated as dfm, the piece again conjoins the different musical worlds in a way we have never heard to such a high standard. a much more upbeat affair than to titan one (of course) bass and keyboards mingle with the symphony the playfulness of the original song rolls throughout dfm. whether as palais schaumberg, the orb, or 3mb (to name only a few alias). fehlmann may have 3 decades of professional recordings under his belt but he continues to prove to the world as being one of the most fascinating and creatively open musicians in his field. this release clearly proves his story is far from over.

need to warm up? want to dance and you love house music? then your gonna to love this track. david guettas ability to supply a proper dance-pop stonker again evident with whos that chick. feel the adrenaline / moving under my skin / its an addiction, the barbadian songbird rihanna hollers over bolshy beats and swaggering synths, the studio trickery on her nonchalant vocals feeling colder than an ice pop on a snowy day. its a good job, then, that bopping along to this - and warming yourself up in the process - is pretty much impossible to resist.

aardvarck comes with >gloom<, an offshoot of his highly successful >bloom< imprint. >gloom< is the second split effort between aardvarck and dutch beatmaster kubus (opgezwolle, top notch). it features aardvarck on an oldschool techno vibe with deep and greasy beats plus his signature style breaks. on the flipside kubus delivers three insanely loud and bass heavy bangers. limited white label!

the new burek release, yako/leko, finds kink trying to step away from common club-oriented production and present himself in a totally different light. yako is a dance mutant somewhere between speed garage, house, rave and dubstep that rips the dancefloor apart with its bassline and sends the crowd into a dancing delirium!

lithuania based new producers debut release on endless flight. they have released from future classic, under the shade, mantis and own imprint silence music. their debut track >test< was licensed for the gilles petersons mix cd and supported from ewan pearson. this time they teamed up with nu-disco diva >kathy diamond<. original version on a side is dark, dubby down tempo vocal stuff and soft rocks remix is slo-mo ambient house. the dub version on the b side is a club friendly edit.

patrick rasmussens musical worldview goes beyond the adjectives that are continuously used to describe his music - eclectic, accomplished, experimental. he is a restless journeyman who, as raz ohara, has sojourned in collaborations with electronica luminaries such as apparat and luomo, and has penned solo work of electronic downtempo, acoustic, folktronica, and various points between. most recently, under the guise of the odd orchestra, he changed course again and crafted two albums, raz ohara & the odd orchestra and ii, both explorations of hazy, pastoral, avant-garde pop, grounded by rasmussens soulful and heartfelt vocals.

northern structures (troels baunbæk-knudsen and lasse buhl) are a copenhagen based techno duo. troels has been making all kinds of electronic music since the age of 14 but focused mainly on a long international drum’nbass carreer under the excentric pyro moniker. lasse is a longtime dj and has been developing his own productions, with a background in soundscapes and organised noise. both share a love for the harder and deeper sounds of techno not often found in copenhagen, taking in a wide range of influences from the early uk industrial and dub tinged berlin sound to jazz, experimental electronica and rock. the ambition is to create a marriage of industrial and organic textures by avoiding strict rules of programming and aiming for more of a jam based musical playground feel.

with her self titled debut, ana helder bolts out the gates with the comeme party approved classic >complicado< - a morphed track of epic proportions that bring the dive of menacing techno together with the fine line that lies between disco and house. >buena punteria< is extreme body music with a tremendous strobe lit inducing rhythm. >el groove de tu corazon< is full of life - a special track a good dj knows how to use and create a magical moment during the night. >next club< is a frenzy. the inevitable and seducing bass line, anas vocal with the grooviness of chicago house and colombian champeta, making this tune the likely candidate for the most obviously dance floor _hit_ on her astounding debut ep.

very decent 3 track 12 inch on this cool swiss label, lux rec! crossing over into a number of territories on a jak tip... strong release! tip!as drumman, jori hulkkonen is taking his live music back to the roots. illustrating his multifaceted musical skills he is redefining his gigs using drum machines, analog sequencers and synths. after a number of gigs under his new moniker hes delivering an amazing e.p. in the same spirit. the quasar e.p. will make you revisit your perspective on joris work.

a brand new 4-track e.p. from nick dunton, lovingly crafted on limited edition quality vinyl with original artwork from jon marston.
nick is a highly-respected electronic music producer based in the uk, and probably best known for his work alongside richard polson as the 65d mavericks and their own label surface records. he also has a string or releases and remixes under his belt for others such as inceptive, downwards, coda & blueprint.

a somewhat mysterious collaboration between three people from varying parts of the world is finally pieced together after being lost and found over the last two years. the final result being two stripped down and uncompromising tracks that go from chicago to detroit and beyond. also included is legowelts remix of comeback dust which takes the original and adds his signature chicago smudge sound to the mix.

bigbait006 - bigbait006 explores the undefined space between elektro, house und dub-step. on this four-track-vinyl-ep s-max, peter clamat, 2=&#824,,, geweih and citizen funk mingle together to make a statement on electronic dance music. bigbait006 is actually a vinylized idea – the title occurred to the two citizen funks during a studio session in france in 2009. around the head note >dj killed 90 people< the four tracks cristallized into a record in the subsequent 12 months. each records cover is hand-printed individually and therefore unique

shakarchi & straneus are faik and daniel, two bffs from gothenburg who are making some of the most catchy, emotional and well crafted dance music we have heard in a long time. both had been involved in music for a while when they started working together at their hometowns top tapas joint, manana. in between washing dishes and serving patatas bravas, the boys would burst out short tracks and sound experiments in the makeshift studio they had set up inside mananas cloakroom. this led to a debut 12 inch on malmo based geography recordings and now comes their five track ep >dodskallar och korallrev<: studio barnhus second release, the best swedish house record since jesper dahlbacks >what is the time mr. templar?<, something we are immensely proud of being able to release.

for the second release on his own hardrive imprint, terror danjah is joined by joker and nottingham bassline don illmana. a-side >gully goon estate< happened via the power of the internet, td and joker had long spoken about working together, and danjah eventually initiated the collaboration when he sent the jkr the audio stems to his classic >zumpi hunter< riddim. joker reciprocated with the parts for >gully brook lane<, and after much back-and-forth between the two instrumental grime heavyweights, the >gully goon estate< was blueprinted.

first on decks.de!! an outstanding record filled with a harmonic fusion of surprising musical contradictions.
a: ooh zoot: twinkle-toed minimal house spiced up with a jazz-flavoured funkiness. yet turmspringer easily manage to avoid the risk of staying superficial by flavouring the tune with with a unique strangeness.
b1: ooh zoot (laufmasche remix): the remix by laufmasche gets back to the essentials, produced with an elegant analogue feeling dominating the track and leading to an excessive peaktime eruption.
b2: in between 2 cigarettes: berlin based duett turmspringer tickles out the abstract minimal techno undertones >in between 2 cigarettes< garnished with vivid background noises. massive dancefloor capability!

following a rapturous response from all quarters for his debut begin 12 >optical holiday<, james has taken the accolades on board and got back in the studio for release number 2 safe to say he definitley doesnt disappoint ! velocity is another balearic beauty in every sense of the word, already championed by the legendary moonboots & balearic mike (recently played on tim sweeneys beats in space show to much speculation !) and hotly tipped by the handful of players whove received upfront copies. its the musical equivalent of feeling the sun on your face, the crashing of waves on the warm breeze and sand between your toes for many of you james will need no introduction, being the chemical brothers tour dj for many years, as well as the longstanding resident at bugged out during its early manchester days and back to basics in leeds, he opitimizes everything wonderful about a resident dj, paid to make the main guy look good, but often infinitely superior at the job ! as youd expect james musical knowledge is vast, and a firm grounding in the vibrant manchester music scene means he wields it at will, each and every weekend proper
