sister label to markantonios analytic trail imprint, mkt records is all aboutproviding a channel for different concepts in techno music. looking forward in to the future of electronic music, mkt is a space for new sounds to develop, evolve and emerge. originally created as a home for markantonios experimental work, mkt has developed into a destination label for all forward-thinking techno acts. unearthing a never-ending conveyer belt of neapolitan techno talent, markantonios mkt records have consistently struck gold with a series of eps from emerging artists such as joseph capriati, mladen tomic and flavio diaz. this time out label boss markantonio takes the controls for an ep of his own.
title track >play the music< kicks off the ep in understated but highly effective style. forged from a brooding low-down bass with plenty of wiggle this track cuts a heavy mechanical groove through waves of sci-fi effects as it builds and drops.
>funky junkie< pumps up the tempo for a full-on ride through funked-uppercussive techno. centered on a groove of big heavy kicks and jacking snaresthis inventive vocal track joins the dots between early chicago house and techno.
>debug< completes the ep by taking a more stripped back approach, laying out a minimized tech house outline around which is added a combination of a bigbouncing bassline and layers of tribal horns, firing percussion and rising sirens.

timmy regisford reworks two modern soul tracks in his unique style.

while on the flip you will find paco osuna taken time out of his dj residency at barcelonas club4 to produce this thumpingly clever remix thats (100%) pure dancefloor.

after a break of 3 years, fear of flying resurrect their limited label to give an airing to a track that has been getting some serious attention at londons uber club fabric, having been a staple in the sets of supa resident craig richards for some months now. tiger tiger is all about the tension as the 3 minute intro builds and builds with the an arpeggiated synth, deep bass and a spanish female vocal hook before dropping, no doubt, to dance floor pandemonium as the kick is introduced. its anthemic qualities are brought to the fore later on with a string breakdown and more lashings of the ultra catchy spanish female vocal. ekkohaus provides two excellent mixes on the flip – the main remix shimmers along in fine dance floor fashion. super slick percussion and snippets of the main vocal keep pushing the tracks along, occasionally dropping into the full vocal hook to get hands in the air and smiles on faces.

big with: dubfire, loco dice, sammy dee, paco osuna, steve bug, ellen allien, alexi delano, ambivalent, konrad black, nekes, pan-pot, butane, someone else, martin eyrer, dustin zahn, dana ruh, alland byallo, bill patrick ...

excellent nyc infected old skool deep house monster !!! well well well

as the third single released in anticipation of scott hansen’s long-awaited full-length as tycho, “coastal brake” may be the best yet—a sweet slice of dream-beat that glides over the ocean surface like a high-speed waverider. “coastal brake”’s vintage synthesizers set the pointillistic scene, blipping and popping around a near-balearic rhythm like melancholy drops in a river, rising and falling and building to a shimmering climax. it’s not quite dance music—more like tycho’s soft-focus take on the escapist beauty of house music. the single’s three remixes do the original ample justice. danish producer (and syntaks collaborator) manual takes “coastal brake” at half-time and shoots it full of feedback, bringing a scorched-earth weight to the proceedings, while hatchback’s “cosmic caviar dub version” turns down the contrast and places the song in a cave full of drugged-out pianos. lusine hacks up “coastal brake” and repurposes the bits for his own stutter-stepping, downbeat funk. listen closely, and you’ll hear shards of “coastal brake” sparkling in between the beats. limited edition (1000 copies) of tychos >coastal brake< on 180 gram vinyl including alternate artwork poster. tycho is the music project of san francisco artist and producer scott hansen. as tycho, hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. known in the design world as iso50, hansen is famed for his bucolic, sun-drenched design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output.

hello and welcome to the new decade. we are kicking off the 10s with a smash from the 00s - as a hinge between the decades, so to say. adas >lovestoned< was everybodys favourite track from her fabulous >adaptations< album, a milestone of romatic techno with vocal support by raz o hara. one of this songs biggest admirers is president bongo of gusgus fame. together with jack shidt he forms the dynamic duo gluteus maximus which already caused a stir with their amazing remix for sigur ros >gobbledigook< on kompakt pop. their lovestoned remix is astounding, too. sex, modern, efficient without losing one gramm of soul. the flipside is taken care of gui boratto who is never far away when techno meets pop in such a sensitive way. his remix makes all great things from the original a bit greater and its pushing the romance factor to the max.
great job, comme d habitude!

repress! this track was already teasing us on one of theos mix cds and now sees the daylight finally!! a choir of children sings a loose line over a raw rare groove/disco like house beat. kicks are deep and hard. again theres a lot happening throughout the track making this an adventurous listen. on the flip a more obscure outing, edgy keys, a vocal hookup on a very moving rhythm track, another example of a long spun out theo trip. tip!!

cometomusic is proud to present the first release on their own imprint. alec and alberto met each other by accident. after some longer music chats they started exchanging track ideas and as a result we can present >yujuuu!<. the track is a real groover with a catchy hook & vocal line. as a bonustrack alec delivers >godfella< that can let you dream of a small fiesta party on cuba – with a allover happy vibe and some nice horns. as remixer they grabbed probably the man of the moment – m.in. after remixing heroes like radio slave or italoboyz and eps on robsoul, souvenir, micro.fon and others he just did another massive dancefloor work.

igor jadranin aka en-tropic signs his new ep – >between two extremes<, for the record label underground limited.this release clearly proves igors unmatched talent and maturity in music production. the lead theme of this ep >between two extremes< – a very deep and powerful theme, carefully broken by rhythm and still a gentle and emotional jazzy looped composition – is surely my personal favorite from this release.cooperation with marko vukovic is embodied in the track >back again< – a minimal deep house filled with rhythm, not the kind of rhythm produced by percussions and other drumming instruments but rather by a cut vocal and dirty synth, which breathe soul into this theme.
>zero loss circuit<, which has an expressed club spirit, is the ideal piece for building an atmosphere in a club. igors music definitively deserves a spot on every good djs list.

classic naked music release by miguel migs!! includes atjazz and trouble men mixes!

the musical evolution of matthias tanzmann as producer is in full swing - a quick look over his releases and remixes of the last year reveals an ease and sophistication, as hefurther progresses the reduction of house music. and with great pleasure we get to provide his pinnacle of the year so far, >chano<, the two versions of the track demonstrating just where house can take you on the threshold of a new decade. the a side concentrates on a percussive rhythm and a lyrical vocal, its carefully placed sounds building the track into a dynamic and hypnotic whole. the b side of >chano< is arranged more classically - a deep chord, a clear beat, accentuated hi-hats and claps…
supported by: luciano, josh wink, karotte, raresh, reboot, mathias kaden, nic fanciulli, martinez, sven tasnadi, davide squillace, ralph lawson, nick curly, anthony collins, simon flower, nima gorji, afrilounge, julietta, justin drake, kabale und liebe, brothers vibe, jimpster, andre galluzzi, julien chaptal, markus fix, lauhaus, boris werner, timo maas, loco dice, tiefschwarz …

big with mihai popoviciu, gel abril, phil weeks, timo maas, dj t, kabale und liebe, nima gorji!! maybe the most diversified ep for the young label! solar & poppcke deliver a full-on floorburner with c mon - a fat bassline, ever-building arrangement and great breaks topped by a catchy vocal - perfect for the peaktime!
a2 is one of those tracks that will cause a lot of fun in your local recordstore when somebody tries to explain the staff the name of this track he is looking for ,-) besides that its a cool minimal-ish tricky groovetool with soulful vocals and a very unique vibe.
b1 is a classic deep and hypnotic chordanthem, slowly building in a hypnotic way and delivering its full dancefloor effect right after the main break.
the sweno n remix is perfect for the bigger floors: clean and straight production, techy vibe, driving chord stabs - this is a perfect dancefloor-destroyer for the middle of the night.

welcome to our latest release.. so impressed were we by chris lattners ep on einmaliens earlier on in the year, wequickly got in contact with the man and asked if he could provide some teched up magic for our lil label.. he dulyobliged with a scorching 3 tracer. already big in the boxes of locodice & matthias tanzmann, main track >sick< drives along in pure dance floor tradition with strong beats, solidpercussion and male vocal snippets.
>house ya< kicks offthe flip side with an equally devastating groove in the same style.
big with: loco dice, matthiastanzmann, luciano, gorge, laurentgarnier, margaret dygas, lauhaus, dj t, audiofly, nic fianculli, afrilounge ...

big ass ep! with hits like bingo players – devotion and exclusive releases like tocadiscos latest single with nadia ali from iio (remember rapture?)! also finally on a vinyl dave lamberts – s vibes which has been buzzin for a long time! with the vocal added! last but not least east & young deliver a massive anthem played by everybody from david guetta to axwell!

another massive sampler from the belgian house mafia! elektrokid comes with a great progressive tune that will turn heads! laidback luke & diplo in a sidney samson remix, do we need to say more? yves v delivers his biggest record to date! a great vocal and a fantastic build up! fireworks guaranteed! and last but not least belgian hot shots dimitri vegas & like mike deliver salinas which has been picked up big time by chuckie!

a1) new love - this elevating new track is deep, funky and sexy. the beat is ever growing, the bass never ending. disco mixes with deep winking and eye to electro. b1) low down - sounds like a completely different atmosphere. still funky, its the perfect tune for a poolside party in la as the sun is going down... smart, sexy ladies get the party started moving to this disco house dance tune. b2) dont stop is the natural conclusion to this 12inch. we re at the break of dawn when this drops, as the sun is rising. slow bpms and vocal intermissions for those whose feet still want to move to the groove.

like roy ayers about 25 years before them those two ny house cuts are paying tribute to their hometurf - the title isnt the only similarity also e mans voice - which already helped its yours to become this years house smash - bares a strong resemblance to the 70s jazz funk master. kerri chandler again proves his unchallenged production mastery with a bottom-heavy, deep house groove - big

percussions, drifty hypnotic beats, a touch of soul and marvellously deep ... house is a feeling and ray okpara has his finger firmly on the pulse, leading the way.
