spring 2006 was both cruel and exciting. radiating hot helsinki nights, too much light and vivid, restless dreams about music. while chucking down a glass of cheap brandy in a local bar the idea finally materialized: lets start a record label! a label that would bring people together. proud people. people thinking of music. people doing their own thing in their own way in their own basements. and most importantly, people who understood the meaning of space between notes. after 5 years, 16 records, 85 tracks and 44 artists from 13 countries it goes without saying that those restless dreams became reality. and so did the music.

the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.

thieves like us is a musical vehicle - an elegant starship, pointed straight to the heart of the listener. they align themselves musically with europe, and consider paris their home (although none of them are french). pontus berghe (drums) and bjorn berglund (keyboards) are from sweden. andy grier (vocals) is from the united states. they met at a picnic in berlin. people often ask them to describe their sound, and although they encompass a variety of influences, they ultimately consider themselves to be a pop band. but no matter how you interpret thieves like us if you have a pulse, youll know their songs by heart already.

united by a simple question as what is electro?, the two young english producers of joe and will ask? have spent the last two years creating dirty, cutting edge productions and taking over the london club scene. with an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, theyve won over fans from the band / indie scene, as well as diehard clubbers. they inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to justice, soulwax, dim and popof. after several eps, acclaimed by the likes of brodinski kris menace, vicarious bliss, casper c and autokratz to name a few, here comes their first release on kitsuné. claymore, delivers a tensed and breathtaking swoop with obsessive rhythms, while take me away with its strong rock energy and vocal hook, will set all the dancefloors on fire

after their first single, guns ‘,n’, bombs are back on the dancefloor with riddle of steel! a new techno classic from usa forefront producers, para one brings it back to french house. unpretentious and unforgivingly badass, l.a.s guns n bombs (including an ima robot member) put the united states outside new york back on my techno map, blow current german electro standards out of the water and give paris’,s new french touch a run for its money. on the dancefloor, this enormous riddle of steel becomes huge! a dark and relantless new track with discreet mainstream sounding excursions that make this take no prisoner techno roller. para one worked more on the entertaining vibe, balancing out the rougher edged electro techno tendencies with welcome moments of daft punk esque levity.

as a taster, this is a splendid dj friendly 12inch that makes a pretty good attempt to capture the spirit of the chair in just 3 tracks.

played by hell / troy pierce / tiefschwarz... third instalment of the overview serie, >united for the best< jay haze, james unk, mossa and chaton are drawing on the outer edges of where techno comes

over the past few months i have been closely watching the american presidential race. although i am canadian i have been inspired by the words of barack obama, so much so that i wanted to produce a release to show my support for his campaign. i believe when he becomes the next president of the united states he will not only change the country for the better, but will help unite the entire world. his perfect union speech lead me to the computer one afternoon and i hope you enjoy playing this release as much as i did producing it. believe in change. yes we can. - christian alvarez

2nd part of the mix the vibe series selected by quentin harris!!

the name of the midwestern state of the united states ohio is derived from the seneca word ohi:yo, meaning beautiful river. khoibas music is also like a river, with a beautiful melancholy, with many crooks, rapids with deep and shallow water, with riber beds of sand and stone. ohio is a bitterweet song about a love crisis. about the good and the bad things of relationship. the hightrope walk between all or nothing. the desire of a new start, with the fear, that noting realy will changed.

>after his very well acclaimed debut on orphanear with >jujuy&salta< and his impelling and chartbreaking remix for tocotronics latest 12 >imitationen<, pawel is back with >gabriel< on orphanear. both tracks have it in oneself to provide the autumn soundtrack for deep and dark house loving clubs all over the globe. the a-side with >gabriel< mixes classic house-strings with some xylophone and bell-sounds rather known from hamburgs scene around dial and smallville records. these elements built up in beautiful layers to culminate in a furious rather ironic break. the b-side with >early bird< begins with an airy beat that brings pawels 2004 vocalhouse lover >grab it< back to mind. after the softer intro the track mutates into a synthspiral which home has already been defined by pawels 12 >ceramic<. some abandoned industrial city in the north of the united states. a timeless record.<
