paskal & urban absolutes sind mit ihrer wunderbaren (slow) house-variation derzeit in aller munde. das duo aus berlin / essen mit aktuellen releases auf labels wie room with a view, prags visky recordings und foul & sunk präsentiert seine zweite ep auf farside records. als besonderes zusätzliches highlight ist farside stolz darauf, zwei großartige manuel tur mixes zu verkünden. der freerange / mild pitch künstler verwandelt limits in ein grandioses house monster. old school, new york city meets sound factory. dazu die tollen vocals von aniya ouu. boom!

the young record label foul & sunk from zurich and freiburg im breisgau leaves the winter behind with > still in love<, an ep from the producer-duo paskal & urban absolutes. alexander kastner and adrian hoffmann, the heads behind it, have both opened their hearts and fell in love: they fell in love with steady house grooves, based on a powerful bass foundation, in love with warm tones that convey sensuality, as well as sensitive vocal loops and fragile percussion.

after the excellent boris hottons >love is ep< it is time to present to you the second release of prague based label visky recordings! we would like to welcome warmly the two-men german project paskal & urban absolutes with their >our smile in your face ep< as a part of the new establishing visky family. a contribution to the ep has also been made by farsides henry l with his fabulous remix of the title track.

2012 will be a good music year! dark descent start of with a release of sei2ure. this well known artist began his career at enzyme records and is now broaden his vision with releases on several labels. we are proud to have him on the label. expect some heavy tunes in a way only he can produce!

highly recommended! marieu comes back with an amazing solo e.p. on his own label enlightened wax after the worldwide success of his first work, heavily played by the most appreciated underground djs. as usual, this record has been written, mixed and produced only on dusty machines and recorded on juicy magnetic tape. the opening track, >ancient times< is a capturnig fat deep house track with a subtle female chant and space-station pads a2, >heat eninges< is build on an heavy ground shaking bass, a wagging latin piano riff. big claps, and sharp cymbals. funky and relentless, its just an essential choice for every swingin dj. on side b,>radiant< develops on a solid bass drum a filtered house groove making a breach to a charming jazzy piano and a blues voice. a complete feeding for every hungry dancefloor b2, >spectrum<begins with a dark hypnotizing groove enlightened in the middle of the track by an uplifting motorcity pad. striking and suggestive.

part of the 839 remix project we have the one and only pfms remix of touch feel and the epic jason os remix of solomon by justice & metro forthcoming pressed on vinyl packaged in a hand screen printed sleeve.

the new phoenix g (pg039) is an excellent deep and hypnotizing release. relying heavily on one shot chords and thumping vintage drum machines this is one for the bag. the a1 concequences is a real deep one with nice open hats and good places chords. a real open mix for the late / early hours. the b1 is a real vintage percussive slammer with nice one shots that together create a real oldschool vibe. the latin vocal in this track gives it a somewhat different vibe,really good for the dancefloor.the b2 is a dark peak time anthem. this will go off at any quality house evening. what a strange but wonderful vibe those rhodes in the middle are giving.true analog deephouse by mr.g

out hear audio is back with another far out offering for the modern dancefloor. the second release for the label this year following the killer yambee! – chemical love/natural off

4 track white label with little or no info. on the more experimental side. sheet reads >all tracks produced by urban tribe with additional production by kemetrix<. limited pressing will sell out fast

die mächtigen deep house-sounds von paskal aus berlin waren bereits auf labels wie wildtrackin oder room with a view zu hören. gemeinsam mit urban absolutes aus essen, der gerade auf phoniques label ladies & gentlemen für furore gesorgt hat, heuert er nun bei farside an. das original von >need love< ist ein heruntergebremstes percussion-monster, während der henry l-remix das tempo anzieht und mit einer reese-bassline den boden erzittern lässt. außerdem dabei ist ein funkiger disco-dub von ingo sänger und henry l.

just one word: killer

this part of the urban graffiti saga focuses on the elements that make up our sound. covering all aspects, these tracks have been sourced from some of the most prolific artists in the scene over a period of time right up until the present, almost cataloging the progression of the scene as far as this side is concerned. this will take on the form of two 3-track eps with two additional tracks available for free download. if that isnt enough, we are also going to be giving away a free mix courtesy of d-man and h.o.d featuring tracks from the elements series including exclusives and forthcoming material.

detroit label 6one6 returns with a superb ep from myles serg with a remix from berlins mike dehnert aka md2.

not much really needs to be said about a new release on mahogani music, especially since it involves contributions from some of detroits greats, including kenny dixon jr, anthony shakir, carl craig, and last but not least, the main man sherard ingram aka stingray. its a single lp which contains 12 tracks. a couple of shorter skits, but most pretty much full tracks. time to state the obvious.. !!attention!!!: this release contains some clicks , maybe not good enough for high fidelity fans... sound is raw and analog!!!

2002 classic from canadian ultrasound imprint!

european percussionist and afro-urban concept leader eric thomas performs live in clubs with music partner dj celyan for more than 10 years. they recently put their creativity together to make their first vinyl. the result is a tribute to some popular brazilian rhythms such as capoiera and samba adapted for clubs and djs.

multi instrumentalist and singer maryja symone johnson and percussionist eric thomas joined together at the rhythm sticks festival in london in july 2004 to create new sounds that have been influenced by afro-caribbean origins. they have successfully performed at different concerts and festivals throughout europe. their first single >je suis music< edited by thiaba records is an adaptation of the original disco hit written in 1978 by international artist cerrone. afro-urban concept completely transformed this song by playing soca grooves with new melodies but the dance floor flavor stays alive. on side 1 is the vocal version with some extended piano, drums and percussions improvisations at the end. on side 2 the first track is an instrumental version recorded with the typical 70s sound where the drums and percussion are in evidence. the second track is more an hypnotic london drum n bass version.

support comes from steve bug, shinedoe, karotte, james flavour, gruber & nuernberg, paulo olarte !! highgrade goes east! with homm & popoviciu the berlin-gang grows in the eastern direction - to be specific: romania. their musical..output..of both wasn..t hard to spot, because markus homm and mihai popoviciu made a name for themselves for quite a while. no wonder that their output spreads across several..high-class..labels like dj hell..s international deejay gigolos, pascal feos.. non zero records, as well as the british immigrant and the spanish sub conce label. after their first strike - highgrade digital number 009, this is their first vinyl ep on highgrade. without any doubts they take the chance to demonstrate their most.. appreciated.. skills: on the the titletrack >urban ballroom< they send a massive..house-groove..to a trip, alongside with a swinging bassline, decent melodylines and some springy percussions, combining perfectly funkyness and deepness. >contact< and >wipp< on the flipside are convincing in the same versed way. the former slightly more dubby, the latter comes up with a little more speed. all in all forming an ep cast from the same mould, while the title >urban ballroom< says it all. homm & popoviciu are delivering a new housy shade for the labelsound, which suites highgrade perfectly
