the unforgettable voice by neja is used by lanfranchi & farina to put together their new important single! this release is powered by a remix performed by riccardo piparo!

>fall into me< finally marks the release of the last and keenly awaited single from jay haze aka fuckponys masterpiece >let the love flow<. the album title says it all - >fall into me< sounds incredibly light, yet catchy and full of energy - a free fall onto the worlds softest pillow. this is how house must sound to lovers. house with soul can be taken literally in this case, as jay has called upon the expert support of laila tov and chela simone. the latterenjoys an international standing and has already lent her sublime, very unique voice to kikis hit single >good voodoo<. here she combines inextricably with jays compact sound aesthetic and makes >fall into me< positively shine.with its atmospheric intro and broad musical range, the original on the a-side sees a welcome reappearance of certain must-have features which will have the hairs on your neck standing up... the accompanying video was shotby emmy nominee daniel michael gahr with chela simone and laila tov in the woods of san francisco.
marco passarani has done the honours on the flip side. a workaholic from the eternal city of rome, marco is the linchpin of the italian techno scene. he produces under the aliases js pool, monomorph and ambit 3 for the labels skam, hymen, clone and peacefrog, and also runs his own labels plasmek, pigna and nature records marcos >fall into me< remix is unmistakably influenced by hiscarefully nurtured detroit roots. however, he employs these stylistic elements very discreetly, retains beats, melody and vocals in his arrangement, takes out a little of the decorative padding from the album, then finally hits us with a wonderful, trancey eight-tone sequence to send us into the realm of dancefloor dreams for ever.

the idea of this first maracana was to include the past, present and future of the musical style of suruba, edit tracks from some of the classics in suruba as tigerskin or spektre or even los suruba themselves, artists that have worked well and with whom we are bound in a great friendship like marc depulse and these who are going to a new sound as it is the case with uner.

supported by adam beyer, john digweed, dominik eulberg, ewan pearson, perc, danny tenaglia, dave tarrida. roland m. dill is a passionate dj, trained musician as well as bit of a scientist. this release tells a story of psycho acoustics. so expect >low go< to be something special for your ears and for your soul. roland likes chicagomusic and this track has the chicagoesque feeling in it from the beginning. those who remember green velvet will get a hang also on this powerhouse-techno production! this track will be easily fitted in to every berghain dj set and rock the shit out of everyone on the dance floor. dont expect dubbed out lushness, this is serious dance or die action .
the remixes come from prominent producers around europe, so starting chronological from a2 to b2: sian has appeared on a lot on raves and parties with his surf board. he is an international traveller who loves to be reminded of the times when surfing farmers left their houses with door frames and no doors. his remix works in a way a countdown functions. building up tension at an incredible speed, this track is set out to explode... but sian would not be sian if he had not developed a club friendly torture . sian rides the wave of superfatt basslines and adds a sequence that sounds as if someone had replaced his teeth with thin pieces of metal, creating a humming voice comparable to one of a jaws harp. sian keeps the tension going with very few elements and shows he is a true masterof techno.
secret cinema has been accompanying us since his first releases mid of the 90ies and we truly believe quality prevails, not to mention his mayor chart hit just 3 months ago with “shake ur tech-ass”. well secret cinema is unbelievably massive in his production. we dont see how anyone can fatten up the sound more than he can. but it is not only about tuning and pimping and pimping and tuning... his remix is a masters piece of perfectionbecause it creates something rare... deep emotional hydraulic strength. this is like diving head on into a pool of silicone and getting sucked into it. this track has an hypnotic feel to it that is comparable to radiohead.
darko esser is an icon in the techno scene of the netherlands. his remix takes the track in to a direction you would not expect it could go to. starting rather minimal darkos remix soon takes a turn and brings in jack elements and cool nostalgic melodies that will warm the heart of every detroit techno lover. was it derrick may who played chords like this... these strings are looked up in the back of our heads like childhood memories of having your first popcycle exploding in your mouth. this is soulful music with just enough analogue imperfection and warmth to it.

dollar mambo is a fantasizing. his name is taken from the title of paul leducs film. a movie realized in panama where you find no dialogues but only music and dance to narrate the story. like in the seven dollar album, all tracks have an authentic south colour and are built, not like a film but in a way where everyone can easily imagine a sketch. all tunes are about dancing, intensity, surprising and finally a great tribute to musicians. youll find a lot of sampled instruments from massive percussion, trombone, trumpet, voice (soleil) to guitar, gitarone (gringo) and marimba (wonderful)... like a dream this album is born for those who are searching for something different, illuminating and deeply happy

danish synth-rock band turboweekends first release in the uk is an atmospheric yet heartfelt cry of regret on the a-side and a jumpy celebration of the end of work obligations (with an ironic twist) on the b-side, featuring the royal company of bristols finest, joker, and indie prince russell lissack from bloc party.
- i am tipping them for very, very big things here in uk. the lead singers voice is amazing.(?)this is huge. -mista jam (live on bbc1 and 1 extra)
- natty danes turboweekends angsty single >trouble is< is like one republics >apologize< as seen through the bass lens of blank dogs (?) its an excursion into the dark crevices of your feelings, but dont even try and tell us youre not at least a little emo. ? the fader.com (julianne shepherd)
- wow. most remixes dont do justice to the original song, but this is from another world. this bass heavy remix is the reason i love british music. ? man movement.com (lsr)

dario d attis who reflects his passion for music and his feelings in his productions was attracted as teenager by the us garage & new jersey house sound - especially the one plaid by djs djaimin (coleur 3) & tony humphries (kiss fm radio) infact these radio shows gave him more energy & the love for house music. dario d attis aka the funk ensemble with releases on purple music such as (spanish harlem/skunk and syndia) comes now with his debut release as dario dattis, a fresh signed exclusive purple music artist, joining one of the worlds most amazing and fantastic voice in house music lisa millett. dario d attis created this uplifting vocal nugget including remixes by purple musics ray paxon and swiss dj pad beryll.

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

the voice of the people has spoken. italys independent outlet archive records and french distributor discograph have teamed up in order to deliver deep electronic sound – a sonic eccentric house affair now on vinyl, previously only available on cd.

supported by renato cohen, danny tenaglia, sian, patrick pulsinger, axel bartsch, bukaddor & fishbeck, orde meikle, kiko... let us introduce the new trapez artist deepchild with his brand new 2 track ep on vinyl. deepchild writes bass-heavy machine-music for broken people, disjointed booty-bass for backroomdreamers, fuelled with sweat, jackin funk and tears. >backroom< is such a track, a warm, raw, urgent and sensual. techno at its finest, highlighting deepchilds voice stronger and more delicately than in the other track. his misch-masch of deep detroit futurism, southern-crunk and forgotten space-disco cut with a rusting razor-blade of german tech-minimalism and filtered through a personal collection of odd analogue equipment is a secretformula that has >backroom< come to life! the b-side >death panel my ass< is a masterpiece of a recording with a hell of a tricky production, cool vocal snippets, cool effects over dubs... well a busy track but at the same time at ease and deep.
deepchild is based in australia and has recorded for resopal in the past. he is playing worldwide and on trapez parties in 2010 !

hive audio is here – a brand new label, run by the makers of the infamous hive club, located in the the industrial quarter of zurich. the imprint was founded by samuel gmur and adrian wöllhaf, better known as animal trainer with some great releasing on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent, amongst others. zurich is not only party capital of beautiful switzerland, it is more and more becoming a habitat for talented and creative music producers and djs, who will now get a new international platform. releases will be held mainly by residents of the hive club itself – benja will be given the honour to start off with his track paradose. >paradose< impresses with a funky percussion loop, ultra-brief chords and scantily applied vocal snippets. benja keeps it dust-dry, leaving out every kind of frippery and lifting the track to a real &#64258,,oor-&#64257,,ller without any razzmatazz needed. on the &#64258,,ip we have a remix by christian burkhardt, who needs no further introduction. he turns the number into a real techno loop monster, which will catch you within a few beats, and then wont let loose again. hypnotic and twinkle-toed at the same time, his remix easily will suit any after hour or peaktime set to the same degree. christian burkhardt himself is also one of our favourite guests in the club. this is why, of course, we are double happy to welcome a hive club resident on our hive audio 001.

tom & jerry are tom novy and jerry ropero, featuring the beautiful voice of abigail bailey. goosebumps guaranteed!

a fine collection of interpretations picked from three of todays leading newcomers.
gold panda has been causing a stir with his remixes for health, bloc party etc.. here he elegantly samples the vinyl from >i have the moon...< into a savvy dub-stepped dilla-esque roller.
rainbow arabia from los angeles remake >sequenced< into a moroder-fest with tiffany prestons siouxsie-esque voice crooning throughout.
back in london, walls (sam willis from allez allez and alessio natalizio) submerge >leave it< in a sublime sea with waves of bells, guitars and cello.

this is the track that has been burning down the house this summer, this is punk-funk techno ... this is >fables and fairytales<. a deep, dark and wonderful cut of distorted house music from adam marshall and nicholas murray under the alias n/a featuring the voice of rosina… a creation that touches the heart, body and soul with an intensely passionate sound, producing one of the best crosstown rebels releases yet.
from the vocal chorus so hooky and cool - to the kind of bassline you will be humming hours after the club, this piece of lfo tech-funk brings adonis, the slits and the fatback band into the same room and melts them into one shining gem. falling horns and random stabs, a punk funk vocal that is truly infectious, crosstown rebels #54 grabs you at the beginning and doesnt let go for the next twelve minutes. a faultless anthem for the coming nights…
on the b side, the latest artist signed to rebels, the uniquely talented deniz kurtel, stretches the hook into a dubbed out trip of groove-infused techno. morphing and twisting the ferocious female voice to sensual whispers and heart-felt cries, she works more enchantment into this anthem and builds a serious groove for a dark room.

mr dehnert delivering! after is succesfull releases on fachwerk and the first basement series release its time for another essential techno release by mike dehnert. after the little hype on the many blogs its another release that will create a stir. lautschrift is probably the sexiest masculine techno track we ve heard in a while! a wolf in sheep clothes. undercooled phat techno drive with a nice mellow vocoder voice, soft bleepy sounds and a deep sub-bass... and then slowly the sexy bassline becomes more and more dominant and energetic and the tracks turns into a killer. amazing track! regelschrift and nano are two heavy techno tracks from the neue berliner techno schule. just as we like it!

with the release of their new single, >you got me burnin<, the long wait for the new track from the dj / producerteam, milk & sugar has finally ended. as in their last single >stay around<, the munich duo has skillfully intertwined their typical house grooves with the soulful voice of ayak, who once again delivers a dynamic, energeticperformance. milk & sugar reconfirms with this new song that for a great house track, not much more is needed than a driving beat, a phat bassline, piano and a good hook.
last october, their previous co-operation with ayak, >stayaround<, reached top positions on the club charts in england. this, despite the fact that the track had alreadybeen released in 2007…

already played by ellen allien, cassy, raresh, phil weeks, kalabrese, jan krueger, garnier alex picone, luciano esse, masomenos, demetrio iannice.. enterely produced with a roland 909, 606, voice and effects, this ep represents mass_prod sound full effect! after his successfull realeses on fumakilla, kontra music and ral with that magic edit of paolo contes impermeabili, mass_prod aka martino marini, has probably become one of the most talked about young producers in europe, representing for us the big hope of the italian dance scene. with this exciting three tracker he introduces the original sound manifesto of bosconi records!

in addition to our first artist album on connaisseur “estroe – elemental assets“ we present the first single “le flaneur” with interpretations by kollektiv turmstrasse our weimar homies christian rottler & deer. all 12 remixes will be released as remix album in digital plus a few remix extracts on vinyl. look forward to the next packages with remixes from audiofly, ripperton, steve rachmad, melon, beatpharmacy, joel mull, tedd patterson, patrick chardronnet, roberto rodriguez and nuno dos santos. le flaneur - this vinyl extract contains the original version of the track - a melancholic detroit-pop pearl with the lovely voice of miss kittin on top plus two remixes. the first remix is the mindbending kollektiv turmstrasse wald und wiesenreh mix that shows in an impressive manner that the two rising northern stars developed their trademark sound to even a higher and more grown-up level. with their “stumme apotheker rmx” the infamous duo christian rottler & deer give a lyrical answer to the original, its starts as a rather acoustic guitar tune and slowly morphs into a trippy and charming debaucher.

balearic biscuits remixes and edits from veter pisti (aka peter visti of visti & meyland and eskimo fame). the first is an 80s disco pop mover with fagget fairys thrown in for style. the flipside has a stripped down totally tubular reworking of foreign affair, which is a mike oldfield song, minus most of the lyrics. voice of buddha is in a synth heavy league of its own originally from... yup, the human league.

ryo murakami whos recent releases include dessous and moriss audio and is known for leading the younger generation artists announces his newest release on his very own label panrecords. the promo is already being heavily played on the jus-ed radio show. the tunes of the analog drum machine coming from the bottom of the deep seas along with our friend amrs quiet yet crazy voice sampling echoes on a1s lost it and a deep arrangement is added to the coupling track dive a elevate. the fat analog synthesizer by dublins lerosal that resembles chicago and detroit sounds are remixed with the rhythm machines low range sounds. the sense of flow from beginning to end is at 90.5. the complete 4 songs are sent from tokyo out to the world scene

part 2 of 3 with remixes for simons >free at last (i have a dream)<, featuring the voice of martin luther kig jr. this time with 2 big cuts by futureshock.

>minimal is cool but in the long term a bit too unsexy!< this statement of marcel knopf that is by now quite old, shows his heart does not beat for one genre after all. after the first and more technoid single release from his album >dusty dance< monsieur knopf satisfies his longing for real house with single no.2 >crazy about<. r&b singer camaras soulful voice leaves quite an impression on this powerful beat. in >skinny bitches< marcel knopf processes insane nights: you just want to drink a beer in your favourite pub but then you meet a couple of friends and they take you to the worst disco in town. this high-energy track is uncompromising and must be played during peak time and not during warm-up sets or after-hours.

bot ox is one of many side projects for french label owner and music tastemaker cosmo vitelli, in partnership with julien briffaz (better known as one half of tekel). their last single >crashed cadillac< was one of the highlights from i m a cliches moments of a crisis compilation from earlier this year. this latest effort is a real slow burner, with the misty voice of anna jean flowing over top of lo-fi melodies and blistering rhythms. weve also heard the flip side for the release – >bearded lady motorcycle show< – which is a more aggressive electro growler.

marcus mumford built mumford and sons after his long standing position as laura marlings drummer / harmoniser began to earn him praise from all who saw them play live together. his battered and raspy voice soars with emotion over massive swells of country tinged orchestral pop. lovelorn lyrics filled with hope, anger, fear and every passionate extreme in between mean mumford and sons are sure to achieve a massive amount of praise for their debut album sigh no more, which demonstrates the strength in both song and sound. togetherness is fundamental to mumford and sons. its there in the tightness of the arrangements, and the four part harmonies - its pretty unusual to hear pitch perfect harmonies that are also meaty, masculine and downright loud. and its in the simple fact that mumford and sons get such a kick out of playing together.

>gobbldigook< is the spectacular opener of sigur ros recent album >med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust<, undeniably one of the most hymnic songs they have written thus far. fellow islanders stephen stephenson aka presidentbongo (of gus gus fame) and jack schidt couldnt resist but to transform the complex, polyrhythmic original into an exceptionally ethereal club track. when the angelic voice of jon birgisson unfolds on a club soundsystem it reallyfeels like you are in heaven. the ultraslim percussion groove takes over the tribalistic atmosphere of the original but catapults it some hundered light years forward into the future. thomas fehlmanns remix on the flipside is nothing short but sensational. we have no clue how he managed to turn this song into a schaffel but we salute him and take this as another unmistakable sign that the schaffelfieber is rising again in cologne, berlin, reykjavik andelsewhere ...

out of this world!! the day has finally come!!! we could not be more excited to finally announce the brand new remixes for out of this world from anto vitale and the beautiful timeless voice of tamara wellons. this is one project that has been in the making for sometime and everyone on board has just fell in love with this tune.

belgian producers sierra sam & marcus vector return to their house-oriented project d.i.y. (dumb irresponsible youth) for three more sly, sexy groovers, with contributions from dop, big bully and markus fix.
while sam and marcus are generally known for their more techno-focused productions, last years house tools vol. 1 was a minor hit, with tracks included in ellen alliens resident advisor podcast, jay hazes recent fabric47 mix cd, and m.a.n.d.y.s charts. since then, they ve kept busy with their own toys for boys label, meanwhile sierra sam has co-produced the debut album by bloody mary on contexterrior.
still, they ve found the time to crank out these new elegant-yet-sleazy cuts, and while vol. 1 was purely instrumental, for vol. 2 they ve roped in some guest vocalists. first up is their collab with comrades dop (circus company, eklo, supplement facts). >kilimanjaro< features d.i.y.s tribal bounce combined with dops seedy, trent reznor-on-opiates vocal delivery.
the flipside has two versions of >suck my caulk<: d.i.y.s original elevates thelevel of melody and sunshine, weaving in the voice of big bully (known forhis work on spectral, get physical and vakant). markus fix of cecille offers his own interpretation, bringing the track down into deep house territory. placed in the right hands, these tools can do some serious dancefloor damage!

the title of max coopers stochastisch serie ep, refers to his use of stochastic methods, also known as non-deterministic, or random methods of sound generation. stochastic elements referring here mainly to real sounds including vocal experiments and sampled sounds which create a complexity and richness which has been a trademark of many well known traum releases in the past. the london based artist max cooper sees his new 12 inch as a construction of different moods going beyond club music, as witnessed in the past through tracks such as i and end of reason. it is no surprise that dischordance is another one of these timeless pearls alongside these mentioned tracks that have created a fan base worldwide for him. the friction max generates is created by two sides colliding, the synthesised drums and melodies and the random experiments with voice. his dance floor rockers stochastisch serie and mnemonic work in a much more functional way but do include bits of this randomness and therefore are part of the superstructure stochastisch serie. the remix of uk producer leeks is very hip in style and sound and will please a lot of younger djs who love the cool swing and groovyness with music and will find the functionlism here going very strong.

nari & milani and cristian marchi bring the beats and max c delivers the voice to let it rain on the dancefloor!

a 12inch ep called here we come is filled with funky, groove and latin techno ryhmes from well known and respected artists in today s techno scene. a side contains american express techno machine bryant baker cooperating with croatian dj and producer miche. their track just deserves to be on the pole position spot a1. funky, groove and unique are just 3 words describing their work as a team. a2 spot represented by upcoming spanish star rantan.
da ghetto party is one track among the others which is really special and exclusively done for >beat forming< this lp. nice and smooth, groove and driving techno.
b side has been reserved for a latino dancefloor kicker done by josh love. the track is called sexiest rasta. jamaican rasta voice, nice groove beat and overrated control over everything. josh did a good work by making this happen. great track to jump on!
the last but not the least is a track done by kai aka vortechtral on b2. nice, smooth, groove and melodic techno track to dance on. great one for filling the 3rd deck with >the badman< voice thru the track.
beatformers are sure that this is an ep to keep an eye on. here we come ep is one of the newest on the market. a new era of techno on the 12inch!

aux-rec is being launched by airdrop records as an offshoot label designed with a specific mission in mind: to look back and pay tribute. aux-rec surveys musical history looking for those inspiring pieces of music (famous or forgotten) that carry a very distinctive groove and identity, and that offer the potential to be revisited in an ingenious contemporary way. at airdrop, we love music of all ages and of many genres! we feel aux-rec is a way for our artists and for us to pay our due respects to the origins and the evolution of contemporary dance music.
the existing airdrop roster of artists will be invited to contribute to aux-rec, but different artists will also be uncovered specifically for this project. off to a fresh start, franco cinelli and club rayo (a duo composed by rafael sorol and pablo terreil) engrave their long-time friendship on this record. franco cinellis first productions were released on the duos imprint club rayo disquets at the beginning of the millenium. the club rayo collective has been extremely active in the local argentinean scene for more than twelve years now.
going back to one of music historys greatest classics, >fever<, franco cinelli and club rayo bring their own interpretations to a theme that has known as many versions than people taking a sing at it in the shower! using ella fitzgeralds and elvis presleys voices, club rayo create repsectively the fitzgerald mix - a rocking dancefloor jam looping ellas fantastic voice bringing it to a culmination - and the king dub - a 118 bpm groove punctuated by elvis low-pitched and resonant tone. cuerdas is a short guitar instrumantal rendition of the fever theme. on his remix, franco cinelli creates a 10 minutes drum symphony, especially designed for the post-climatic hours. both producers kept in mind ellas famous quote when undertaking this great enterprise: >i stole everything i ever heard, but mostly i stole from the horns.<
the following releases on aux-rec will also be in the form of bootlegs, edits, re-works or samples (you name it). they will bring back memories to your heads and mostly the groove to your feet. to be true to its mission of a vintage exploration, aux-rec will be releasing exclusively on vinyl, in the tradition of the essential music format of the 20th century. there will be no digital releases at aux-rec. in the pipeline are soul claps edit of laid backs >bakerman< as well as le loups version of sheila es >a love bizarre<, produced by prince.
also played and supported by agnes, butane, ripperton...

nice price deal !!! following up on her unanimously acclaimed debut album may be later (vakant), chilean artist and berlin transplant alejandra iglesias conceived anemik entirely for the wagon repair label after being approached by label head mathew jonson. a musing on femininity and the fine line between romance and delirium, anemik transcends borders in its range of influence and reflects consciousness in the fluidity and tangibly live origins of its creation. recorded using analog equipment and acoustic instruments with a strong emphasis on voice, there is a wisdom and maturity to this work that suggests an artist in the prime of her life.

new stefano pain production on rise records. this time with great voice of kaysee!

restoration records highly awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up this hard times. captain power and the soldiers of the future will lead the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom. humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.
third side is the new operative group of restoration, formed by marieu, lucretio and by resident dj of panorama bar steffi (klakson/ostgut ton). >ready to dance< is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but minimalistic at the same time. very essential in its build-up, its bass line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. we are ready to dance, its time to jack!
analogue cops >chamber< is a strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. rushing percussions, piercy hi-hats, a breathless progression. an experiment which turns into a solid club tack.
on side b, >still me< represents lucretios vocation to neoclassicism. the time disappears and a gospel organ full of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on planet earth. dramatic and sweet, its evocative and hopeful. lucretios track on rst006 appears on tama sumos >panorama bar – mix cd<.
>mauzy< is marieus deepest track on restoration. beat-down smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp cymbals, a praising voice. a track for a spiritual elevation, a track to dance until the last second. a track to listen to a million of times.

matt flores teams up with a true legend of house music: tyree cooper. true school chicago, pimped up for 2009 with the unmistakable voice of tyree cooper demanding you to dance, feel yourself and the energy surrounding you.played and supported demarkus lewis, elie eidelman aka dj humus

little dragon return with a spectacular second album offering in august, a pulsating electro pop epic that prince would be proud of (only fronted by a beautiful swedish lady with a sultry voice). a bold and surprising side/two step onwards from their self titled debut, released two years ago to great acclaim especially among specialist circles. machine dreams, with its nagging hooks and gloriously infectious tunes, should finally see the band break out into the mainstream.

high on the heels of their brand new album >24/7< gus gus serve us the second single outtake. >thin ice< is undeniably the key song on the album and therfore screamed for being revisited for dancefloor purposes. the a-side belongs entirely to the hamburg based trio wareika, which is not only sharing the tourbus as support act with our icelandic heroes on their extensive >tanz mit mir< tour but also raised some eyebrows with excellent releases onlabels like tartelet, connaisseur, liebe/detail or eskimo. their take on >thin ice< is a wonderful, epic journey into contemporary deephouse - approaching the original from its intimate, emotional side before taking a total different turn in the last third of the track. we have no clue where this angelic voice transcended from but for sure it gives us gigantic goosebumps. on the flip, matteo esse and sant aka analog people in a digital world deliver proof that their brilliant remake of st germain, >rose rouge< was not just a one-hit-wonder. it was and still is hammered by the top league djs like pete tong, luciano, michael mayer and many more. they know exactly which buttons to push in order to make this worlds dancefloors happy.

cool elegancy and machines meet live elements, soul and warm loops. subtle deep piecees of house music! hard to believe what jena has to offer: after splashy shooting stars like the wighnomys and their freude am tanzen family, a new act from this small metropolis for artists is coming up on vinyl now. while the team around klinke auf cinch is releasing its upbeat on playtracks the debut track shows the variety and creativity being in the deeply touching musicians heads. invited to the vocal corner was among others the soul voice of ian simmonds, who has already scratched his monument into black gold on musik krause. klinke auf cinch perform in stereopanorama with tenderly sent melody pearls and create marble paths with groove fragments. a live playing trumpeter, the voices of ian simmonds and paula as well as the gifted rhythm and harmony section around clemens kynast and lutz hartmann are the counterconcept to brute force. jack to cinch makes live electronica a valuable and touching concert event, the musicians virtuosity meets the cool elegance of the machines. loop means soul, beat means heart beat.

straight off the heels of his highly successful bird brain album teaser tracks, aundy and beat that bird comes the definitive claude vonstroke record everyone has been waiting for. the a side is classic genius cvs at work. he constructs a mad vocal pattern up and down through 4 octaves and all the vowel sounds of the live human voice. then he creates a chord out of the notes all coming together for en even bigger surprise in the 2nd half. this track is quite simply unique. there is nothing else like it. the b-side resembles the freaky side of cvs harking back to the tech funk sound of tracks like chimps. this time claude makes an ultra-wide filter sweep sound like a pair of humongous tits bouncing up and down on a trampoline. the boob jokes are there but the track is so filthy dirty its hard to even find time to chuckle.

this project started during the 2007 winter music conference when mr. marquez dropped there a selfmade bootleg of michael jacksons billie jean called mikelata and it was a pure happiness feeling on the dancefloors. 1 year later rocco, danny marques & dj fudge got together for a serious studio session with the perfect voice for this production: ricky galliano, a swiss based party and nightlife personality. the project was ready months before one of the sadest day of musics history happened: michael jackson passed away. now we changed the project in a tribute for the king of pop.

incl. chris wood & pascal feos remix!

after their great release on below records, the jacuzzi boys bring us the next bomb on levelnonzero. the original track, called cascabela, comes along with a deep groove and an evil voice which keeps the dancefloor under pressure. but at the latest, when this crazy >cascabela sound< rises during the break, you will see the crowd freaking out. on the flip, chris wood & pascal feos sticked together and created a remix, which is deeper and more into house than the original...

let me do yore starts off in tribal mode and then adds triangle and shakers to its relaxed percussive groove before shuttling off into the stratosphere where sheets of synthetic slivers dart past at lightning speed, the tracks bottom heavy pulse builds in intensity as claps and soulful voice swirls bring a delirious vibe to the proceedings. following a detroit tinged intro, a moment of truth slides into place with congas and claps helping it find its way. sizzling hi hats and a thumping kick drum deepen the groove while a funky bass line provides hip shaking accompaniment and marks the return of a house legend, who’s still at his best. soul never goes out of style, right?!

stroboscopic artefacts 1st vinyl release is an incendiary 2 track ep. label founder lucy gives us a visionary blueprint for the future stroboscopic artefacts releases, etching out the soundtrack for an apocalyptic club scenario. out of the a-sides dark, pulsing beats and itchy baselines, a granular voice rises up. krishnamurtis rasping vocal cuts through, creating a colossal techno track. the result is a hybrid of the physical need to dance fusing with the cerebral. amid resonant piano samples and utopian 60s strings, a crystalline question emerges: why dont you change? in the middle of a hazy, overcrowded dance floor this peak-time guerrilla track hints at a moment of epiphany. on the b-side dub man walking, lucys dub-roots background collides with his techno identity. the heavy drum machine structure is injected with obsessive dubby baselines and intersected by high frequency distortion. the track floats, the elements never fully solidify, instead they surge forward becoming ever more urgent. lucy mixed and arranged dub man walking live using his faithful mackie ms 1202 to keep the texture warm in an old skool way

limited vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. la roux - the red haired one - steps up to claim her thrown as the new pop princess with the release of her debut album on polydor. with influences ranging from prince to blondie to tears to fears la roux is electro pop for the 21st century. elly jackson, the voice of la roux has a distinctive sound but sounds mature beyond her years. her dynamic combination of vulnerable emotive lyrics, snaking off kilter synths and killer hooks are fast becoming her trademark sound and continues to mark her out in a class of her own. the album features the three singles so far - the club smash quicksand, the old yet modern sounding synth pop classic in for the kill and the latest bulletproof. this is pop with a capital p.

ironic? no, it’s dead serious: sally shapiro keeps on dreaming of barbie and ken. sometimes good things come to those who wait, as is the case with sally shapiro. one shouldn’t really imagine the bashful swede from göteborg, who never performs live, setting a new trend for turning down lucrative offers. and the thought that she is working on something hip, is most likely even a little eerie for her. after all, she s just into something, which she’s been doing since her childhood in the 1980s — singing songs in the style of her idol sandra (”maria magdalena“). if she hadn’t met her companion johan agebjörn, who despite his musical socialization with techno in the 1990s has been deep into italo disco for the past few years and is a collector of zyx records, sally’s passion for synthi songs and fairy-like female vocals would have remained private. however, johan was screwing together some italo-style songs when he asked sally (whose voice he’d only heard from a previous christmas party karaoke) if she would improvise on his soft keyboard tunes, their collaboration was a done deal.
subsequent to their first releases on the labels diskokaine and permanent vacation, sally shapiro suddenly found herself in the midst of the ultra-hip neo/italo-disco movement, which is especially big in scandinavia. why of all things on the northern peninsula, where one traditionally listens to black metal and indie rock played with legs spread apart, the peculiar, yet sunny disco music became such an export hit, stays one of the mysteries of the pop business. it’s a fact, though, that next to internationally celebrated norwegian neodisco-heroes lindström, prins thomas and todd terje, the lovely sally has become the scandinavian disco-act in the mean time.

here we go with the new defrag from our brazilian friend gui boratto. >i feel love< is one of those very special records that goes far and further from the boring trends of the moment. as we like to say it is a timeless techno tune, an open air magik track with vibrant pads full of synthetic feelings and processed voice that reminds the best moments of the disco from the 80s or, if you prefer, as our friends at kompakt, you can define it: elegant techno.

zuckerwatte is the second single from oliver koletzkis new album >großstadtmärchen<. and zuckerwatte, which translates as candyfloss is a truly magical tale about love and loss in the big city. the original features juli holzs softly whispering voice that is so very fragile, and so very beautiful. this is a softly grooving electro-pop discovery. but of course this song has also been transformed for the dancefloor on this single that also features two more tracks from olivers album. first up is the remix by david august, one half of the duo august & bachert who delivers a top-notch glitchy tech-house edit that makes great dramaturgical use of the original track. next up is björn störigs vision of zuckerwatte. the drummer of olivers live outfit the koletzkis envisions juli holz perform her sweet and sticky singing over some neo-soul tech-rnb influenced electronica that features a spanish guitar, some great claps and some very nice synthesizers. on the flip there is koletzkis instrumental house-homage kusskompatibel and these habits, on which only seventeen-year-old singer pyur makes her debut. she sings wonderfully harmonic over this down-beat trip-hop groove and it results in a great hit for the late summer. this single is more than a single. its the best thing before the album
