with *believe in love* yousef returns home to circus recordings with 3 cuts that have been turning heads all summer long. the title track features the legendary vocal of roy davis jr who once again, asks the world a poignant question. a rolling, infectious and gnarly groove develops and unfolds into a long and harmonic breakdown before a blistering crescendo. designed for the heads but with still enough action for the people that follow yousefs more musically trickier offerings.
just a beat is exactly that. yousef busts out a stripped back boogie bass over tight drums and oddball acid. no messing around, heads down, hands up. what is revolution is completely reworked by circus label mates acid mondays. remixing one of the stand out cuts from yousefs recent *a product of your environment* artist album, the mondays show how to bring authentic house music into the 21st century.

following their acclaimed debut album, migration, on prins thomas internasjonal label in 2012, jamie paton and nigel hoyle (aka nigel of bermondsey) have seemed relatively quiet save for the odd remix here and there. tucked away deep in their south east london base though, a series of remixes and solo projects have been steadily forming. with new c&a material planned for 2014, plus more to come from jamies new solo efforts, as well as nigel making a long overdue reappearance in maurice & charles, now seems the right time to draw a line under their collective work to date. here then are a collection of unreleased interpretatons, including the sought after vocal remix of psychedlic darlings, in goats anthemic run to your mama. this is followed by a late night dub of 80s pop duo blancmange that mixes strings, guitar and some dub bass with a dose of space echo before bringing neil arthur s classicly recognisable refrain shining through. to finish is a remix of goats label mates teeth of the sea. fx-soundtrack vocal, bubbling 303 and 808 combine on a proper 3am dub that builds beyond some mere drug-chug.

(tom trago, cage & aviary rmxs) on leviathan freeform five teams up with the legendary roisin murphy for an exercise in irresistible vocal power and anthemic, feel good appeal.early support from annie mac, kasper bjorke, boris dlugosch, dorfmeister, groove mag, mighty mouse, and jerry bouthier amongst others!

nach unserem geglueckten label-auftakt in 2013 wollen wir dieses jahr direktdaran anknuepfen. den anfang machen unsere residents der ersten stunde,kuriose naturale, mit ihrem debuet-release. die ep heisst >some might work< und laesst damit eine menge musikalischen interpretationsspielraum.der a1-track traegt den titel >madame psychosis< und hier ist der name dann auch gleich programm. durch seine duestere sound-aesthetik erzeugt das stueck eine einzigartige spannung ueber die gesamte track-laenge, die einen ganz sicher in ihren bann ziehen wird. weiter geht es auf der a-seite mit >up from here<, der deutlich groovebasierter daher kommt. getragen wird der track von kurzen aber doch eingaengigen vocals und einer hypnotischen synth-melodie, die einen fast schon an film-musik erinnert ohne dabei natürlich den fokus auf die tanzbarkeit zu verlieren. die b-seite beschäftigt sich dann ausschliesslich mit dem ep-titel >some mightwork< - angefangen mit dem gleichnamigen original, welches zunächst etwas vertraeumter daher kommt aber spaetestens ab der mitte des tracks seine clubtauglichkeit voll unter beweis stellt. den remix hierzu steuert kein geringer als kellerkind bei, der eine wunderbare oldschool-house interpretation angefertigt hat. durch die vocal-schnipsel aus dem original, die warmen chords und die voluminoese bassline fehlt es wirklich an nichts um auf jedem house-floor dieser welt bestehen zu koennen. wir freuen uns wirklich sehr mit diesem facettenreichen release ins neue jahr zu starten und hoffen sehr, dass ihr die freude teilt!

rivulet 004 is a home run for the young label wich operates between leipzig and berlin. the split-ep comes with 2 tracks by talski and stanley schmidt wich discloses the understanding of electronic music between the antagonism of deep and cheesy, techno and house, melancholia and euphoria that always drove the idea behind the label. stanley schmidt delivers a sample-based deephousetrack, wich opens up from a darker mood to sunshine- inspired >emo-house< using soul-inspired strings and a catchy (but not well known) vocal-snippet by candi staton. >a.brain0030< by talski is a dark, mystical techno-ballad wich comes with a broken beat and a drifting tribal. as always talski proofes his skills by using unusual sounds and a nonconform arrangement, wich always bears the quality of his tracks.

after exploring over 6 hours worth of unreleased original material from the relentlessly prolific and ever expanding production catalog of will azada, cgi is extremely proud to present these 3 stand-out cuts that represent a depth of production skill and aesthetic range unparalleled in today’s over-saturated dance music landscape. confronting the clichés head-on, azada breathes new life into tried-and-true templates of jacking, industrial funk and synth-y groovers with his remarkable ear for arrangement and sense of movement, masterfully exploiting the infinitely renewable resource of subtle variations that he continuously unfolds throughout the tracks’ durations. the material runs the gamut from the stark, throbbing, industrial workout “the whip” to the melody-driven, synth-fueled ecstasy of “michalski’s theme” and the chord-driven, vocal-chopped house of “cliché.” the fact that an ep this unique and diverse can also feel so unified is a testament to the vision on display here.

superb collection of early 90s underground deep house classics by the legendary dub maestro mk. first up is the hard-to-find remix of terence trent d arbys >surrender< which takes d arbys soulful vocal and puts some classic mk fire underneath it to create a awesome deep house banger which received heavy rotation both in the clubs and on the airwaves. next we get one of mks best dubs - his brilliant take on the b52s >tell it like it t-i-is<, a chugging house belter which adds a haunting bass and melody to the bands expertly chopped up vocal chants. the flip side keeps up the pressure with the awesome dub mix of betty boos >thing goin on<, another of his finest dub mixes, and lastly the in-demand classic >bicycle dub< of the pet shop boys >can you forgive her<, only ever available as a limited promo but huge on the underground scene.

we stick with our concept for the second release. putting some of our own and some of our good friends music on a v/a ep. this time we have bartellow, a dedicated musician with several projects and bands. spirits combines his disco-affinity with raw deep house sounds and an ecstatic vocal sample. lewy l is the pseudonym for collaborations within our very family. getting rid of limitations this is the name we put our jam sessions results abigail brought a collabo track with nubody from melbourne from the time he spent living in australia last but not least its einerweniger, long time friend from munich with his typically groovy approach on house music. there will be more of him in future productions.

vessel no 6 is airborn and your cabin crew serves you three gems on wax, road-, air- and space- tested throughout the last six months. a1 is a straight groover with an undeniable feelgood vocal, carfully rearranged for your dj needs. first officer nebraska joint ventures the record on b1 with an emotional, ever building piece of jazz funk and reminds us once more of how the art of editing has to be approached. with so much hoopla already going on, b2 leans back, happy to strip it all down and hitting us with a break that starts, floats, and then, lucky audience, just dont stop. dont stop, dont stop, over and out.

after the great response on his last im a gin ep, we couldnt wait to get another betoko release here at off luckily we didnt have to wait too long for it. mexican man of the moment delivers supersonic, a robotic-vocal infused deep funk monster with his trademark bassline groove

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears !for this new release, we decided to create another sub – label as this seems to us so special ! skylax records extra series #1 will present the wonderful work from house maestro jason grove with some of the most timeless artists from both chicago & detroit. indeed, we get the chance to get on vocals & productions the great merwyn sanders (formerly known as virgo 4) & legendary undeground resistance member niko marks. we felt that those tracks had something we could qualify as timeless, it is simply the best music we have heard in ages. the master is back. vinyl only

after debuting on the limited hamilton dance records, nycs own time reveals lands itself its first starring role. comprised of marcos cabral and susan domelsmith, their new single let my body is aggressive to say the least. super jacking hardware sequenced analog synth lines backed with chanting vocal loop punishes the dance floor.

next up on visionquest is the second single from wareikas righteous and raw wternal album. all little things, here in its club mix incarnation, is another example of the trios hefty musicianship and unbridled eccentric energy, where jazzy textures and pulsating grooves build up with a rising melody to the powerful vocal drop. on the first remix visionquest & nikko gibler develop expansive piano melodies alongside an elasticated bassline and vocal snippets. fred p reigns over the b-side with his raw, deep hypnotic reshape and warmed up spirit dub. this is a distinctly diverse remix package from a rich artistic source.

hot on the heels of bmm 002 comes the latest instalment of the birdsmakingmachine series – bmm 003 – a package combining their signature sine-bass laden grooves, steel drums and oblique melodies. >antonios swing<, as the title indicates, literally swings listeners into its rhythm with dark vocal snippets layered onto soft stabs and eerie melodies. >woodpeckers<, on the a2, takes a more linear approach, an effective dj-friendly tool that will please dancefloors in the late hours of the night/early hours of the morning. on the flip, in >silk road< we find a captivating, yet mysteriously funky minimal house affair that builds and builds until finally erupting following the break. the ep is rounded-off with >dead lines<, a broken themed galloping of bass kicks fused into moody melodies and reverberated far cries, resembling a genuine excavation into the depths of house music – another example that the birds are always trying to redefine the genres boundaries.

i believe uses dubby drums and an infectious vocal to really tear things apart before dropping into a melodic synth section that will make anyone move. tantras melodic groove synths help this early morning track really come into its own before the main melodic section, accompanied by strings, will take any clubber to their own dimension

rough house and detroit techno killer tracks on this new vinyl from vibe me!!! the new member of the family adrian rodd (catwash/movements) signs the single since 1990, a powerfull old house bomb where the groove and the dirty vocal line push loud till the end! simply amazing. big sound from the new techno talent jonas kopp on the first remix of the release. no words needs. he rules. the second remix on b1 was touched from one of the most interesting artist coming out now. whim-ee from france. we are just proud to release her sound. listen to believe. the last remix its from mussen, label manager of vibe me. that close the release with an hard-techno kick and dark bassline. just for clubbers.

then last up to wind down the ep, tuccillo turns in so hot feat. ch brown dropping the tempo slightly and introducing mr. browns hypnotic vocal lines alongside raw rhythms and tweaking acid bass.

there are certain moments and event that can redefine a nation and a culture. the 1987 1988 acid house explosion was such a moment in our time that it did capture a nation and a forged a new era in modern music. acid was such a taboo in the late 80s in the uk that law officials thought that the music insight mass use of acid and everyone would space out, and that was far from the truth. but what is true that some guys from chicago created a sound that the world einbraced and continues to embrace to this day.

we are looking forward to introduce marco resmanns new ep on watergate record, which starts off with a rad-feature: life about to change is a vocal-based track, whose dreamy synth-scapes wind around a deeply reduced beat structure

arttu is back with two tight tracks in his trademark raw jacking house sound. chicago rooted house music drenched in a heavy dose of interstellar boogie. a-side is the shuffling bassline driven ufo funkin that goes all crazy. aa side is arttu featuring detroits jerry the cat. both tracks comes in vocal and instrumental version. instrumentals take things back to the bare essential and are total basement workouts. arttu di it again!

the a1, named after the release title, is a summer techno drive, or a ride through a hot landscape in central america, as the notes of marimba suggest. the subtle but crackling low toms reverb dictates the driving tempo, while the chasing hats warn of a night which is likely to be dirty and sweaty. ready 2 glow opens with an enlightening synth note softly spreading through the air. its the after-hour call, the quietness before a new storm, which is about to boost and bring to surface the spastic contradictions of the drug-based soul liberating after-hour scene. corners goes funk, the quirky and rugged bass line lays at the core of the groove. above, we hear a multitude of spooky sounds and samples ranging from flying saucer sonic surges to playful stabs and bongo madness. the obsessive vocal echo, manipulated according to the abuse of ifferent drugs, is a clear indication of that. alza pure quanto vuoi is almost taken as it was firstly conceived during a jamming session. its twisted, swinging, it breaks the scheme of groove flowing as the tempo suddenly escapes to a faster pitch, jacked out

hamsa intenational are hitting us with some obscure and analog live jams for club use only. rigid grooves that transform subtly by the use of frequency cuts and vocal chops make bodytalk an interesting lo-fi sounding yet energetic jam for peak hours and after. the analog warmth thats filling up the speaker cans comes straight out of old machines and a tape recorder.

the founders of >pfand<, hali and yapacc, met each other in berlin and torontos nightclub circuit. they created the synonym >act natural< and debuted four tracks which describe the actual vibe and feel of berlins club culture. beside the purely minimal percussive tracks (pretty good & action - words), they created a vocal-based hymn, >berlin is killing me<, that perfectly expresses the mood after a long party weekend. for >revenge or insanity<, they invited julie marghilano to give the right punch in combination with a bumpy bassline that kicks you in your ass.

the next slab of soulful house music on foliage records comes from justin stride aka black sonix, featuring the wonderful voice of selina campbell. remixes are delivered by groove assassins and kquesol plus an alternative vocal mix by justin and sean mccabe.

after the vocal treatments and acid lines of tallmen 001, moog feedback comes rumbling through as tallmen 002 kicks in. multi joins as a co-producer for d220 ghosts of guitar and synth lines weave in and out as it picks up momentum, the kick drum planted firmly in the chest plate and swirling high-hats complete this burner of a track. floating ground returns to acid but not as one would expect. a simple melody turns into a strange animal, flying at once into outer-space then landing squarely on the 1, this is not your average acid tune.

bruno pronsato presents his new project, archangel - his first solo release in 2 years. this single highlights the developments that have occurred in the pronsato sound in that time, and features bruno himself on vocal duties.
