french artist, lee van dowski of num and cadenza lowers eyes and draws lips to partial smirks with his charming and witty release. „the variable man,“ based on the title of a science fiction story series from the 50’s, is brilliantly transmitted through a tunnel of sound engineering and audio design by lee van dowski. lee’s electronic rendering of „the variable man,“ distinguishes several dominant male voices accumulating a rhythmic momentum to the peak of the track, a peak where an orgasmic flow just stops short of the central explosion, fundamentally, fading the instrumentals before revamping again. the b-side of the track, „thomas coles lives,“ co-produced by agnès, comes alive with a fascinating mix of symbols and keyboards. „the variable man“ is lee’s second release on leena music, after his first 12“, „louder elvis,“ in collaboration with agnès appeared on leena in 2008. both tracks express very minimalistic tones yet are characterized by rather divergent

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

another ep on einmaleins by our beloved miskate ! a great 3 track come back. bric a brac comes with weird and trippy sounds with hypnotic voices building and then gets funky funky elements and great groove! whats the point is more tight techno with dark elements that make u think u r in out of space, definatly an after hour track to twist minds! the lazy mouth remix is on the flipside, more stripped down techno, repetitive with crazy synth! one more release ready for the dancefloor!

ray valioso (aka swiss producer agnès) returns to real soon with the 4-track particles e.p. on the title track particles, ray uses a moog-like synth part and a treated rhodes piano to weave a hypnotic melody that drifts in and out of focus over a clatter of loose, live percussion and distorted voices. on tocar te, basic house maniobras and groove memories, ray is in less experimental territory and turns in three quality pieces of warm, percussive, luxurious deep house. this is ray valiosos second full release, following up on his well-received einladung e.p. (real soon, 2006) - featuring the excellent >get the strings?< - and his recent appearance on the deep vibes recordings compilation >in the streets<.

daniel mehlhart steps up to the plate for kindischs seventeenth release, origami - an exquisitely deep, languid house jam laced with strung-out, processed spanish guitar and gently euphoric xylophone arpeggios. >origami< is languid, yes, but not exactly laid-back: its held up and propelled forward by a gently vibrating lattice of kickdrum and snare hits, through which a dubby, molten bassline and taut, time-keeping chords dreamily but determinedly flow. the perfect soundtrack to the mixed pace of summers long days and even longer nights. mehlhart harks back to his acclaimed past releases on karmarouge and neutonmusic for >alles klar alles easy<, which sees brushed drum and shaker sounds edited into a quietly explosive techno work-out with serious swing. >fata morgana< begins in a more linear, four-to-the-floor style, but those percussive flourishes quickly accrue into something more strange, and then out of the ether comes an entrancing, south american-style chorus line. the voices mingle imperceptibly with woodblock strikes and caustic snares, injecting the techno dna >fata morgana< with a sick and psychedelic voodoo funk. with this 12inch kindisch once again proves itself to be a preeminent stable for experimental, expressive dancefloor music, and daniel mehlhart affirms his status as one of our most daring and capable producers

new official thunderdome anthem by dj mad dog & mc justice!!!

karateklub suprises with hugh tracks from jenn, fantastically remixed by rebekah (criminal/uk). with >cheeky<, jenn presents a groovy and much more minimal side then we allready heard on her last ep. suprising and reduced, her sounds looping up and down, embedded in a clonky basedrum structure. the remix, made by rebekah, well known from her releases on criminal records, is just fantastic and completes the ep brilliantly. she desinged a hugh groove and pushed it forward. by adding her ideas she creates an excellent new track. the interface original is specified by stomping and jigging beats, which get intermitted by smooth voices and melodies, before pushing it up again. these girls have it and paint the town red!

nice price deal !!! massive house tune for one of best female voices all over the world!!

legendz records is the normal follow up of famous legendz parties which started in belgium three years ago . for their first release, they decided to invite two belgian producers from two different musical horizons and see how it goes . kolombo is famous for his electro house style with releases on king kong, turbo, systematic, karate, his own vice versa or loulou records. sierra sam is more into the minimal world with music on trapez ltd., einmaleins, his own toys for boys and soon contexterrior the two friends decided to mix their skills on three tracks: alive is based on a fat synth line and rolling bleepy percussions, articulated around a vocal sample. extra voices takes another vocal sample , but adds it a more acid synth line and some more percussive drum soundsscreaming lord is a more aggressive track with more noises and fast percussion lines..

in good old manner of chicago-house-music glare tyree cooper and eric d. clark on site a with discreed harmonies to there familiar seemed voices. the unstoppable forward driving beat with the care sedate bassline underlined the feeling but also the simultaneous unchangeable purpose of the track - to put the listener in motion. the stuff will be advanced by the also announced mix from the label boss himself - stefan braatz - on site b. full cords and a chiselled beat added by a extra acid-line in well known braatz-style.

salute! is an amazing 4 tracker ep by frankie we start with the eponyme track a1 salute! is a groovy & freaky tech house piece with raw synths and sweet funky melodies defo floorfiller ! ... follow a2 transfer with darky oldschool bassline cut voices and quirky melodic sounds heady and so powerfull ...on the flip b1 ezit funky minimal techno track and b2 blaz is a more minimal house track wtih weird heady melody and an original break don t miss!

as one of the leading voices in japans techno and house scene, this dj, producer and live performer knows what dark textures, dirty bass lines and driving beats are all about. this ep arrives as a bit of a powerful undercover tool style installation, full of simple percussive allotments, syncopated synth bass stabs and plenty of swing. hane starts out as a pretty straightforward loop minded drum workout, but before you know it a delicately plucked synth jam ignites the mix.

nice price deal !!! the unhistories sound is psychedelic, but not in the paisley way. more mind expanding/modern...get it straight, singer isnt referencing any past trend in music. their idea involves their (very) original compositions tangling with voices stumbling, clucking, heaving, whipping, shrieking and sighing in a graceful jumble. this is a crux. this is unhistories. by way of introduction, the record is packaged in a way that brings the fun and the fury of singer into your hands, your home, your lap, your eyes, ears and headphones with life, weight and a glossy polish.

for this second 10inch limited edition, we re really proud to present dj kaos and mvdr artwork on astro lab recordings, after many collaboration with warp, kitsune, dc recordings, dfa, and remixes for rub n tug, roxy music and more, kaos delivered here 2 amazing tracks.. the a side is more an uptempo and disco affair, the b side is 8 minutes long with some amazing strings voices, only for open minded djs

new full length from seminal industrial band meat beat manifesto (aka mbm). led by sound sculptor and producer extraordinaire jack dangers, mbm is continually evolving. its tenth album pushes musical boundaries further than it has before, creating a masterpiece of electronica and dubstep. meat beat manifestos constantly evolving musical invention has generated a long string of influential futuristic classics, including such tracks as god o.d., psyche out, helter skelter, radio babylon, edge of no control and its the music. the single, prime audio soup (from the album actual sounds and voices) was featured in the sci fi fantasy blockbuster the matrix and on its platinum selling soundtrack.

originally from columbus, ohio and now residing in new york city, myungho choi issues four new tracks on a touch of class. on these four dizzying tracks, choi again powers his stampeding funk grooves, ecstatic voices, and somersaulting rhodes melodies with classic soul bass lines. his stoked mix of soul, jazz, and house proves exhilarating in the steaming strutter lovin you today and high velocity disco anthem shakin bricks. less aerodynamic and earthier by comparison, the low slung party funk groove in how long till dawn would sound perfectly at home in a parliament funkadelic set, especially when voices chant shake and havin fun and horns blaze over a steaming stomp. the closer we aint leaving revisits the benson funk style of moment by moment by looping a guitar vocal fragment over a relentless minimal disco pulse. this ep. is without a doubt a true disco house infection and a definite one for the dance floor, which is not to be missed.

the follow up to model specific is a heavy slab of dub techno. a heavyweight bass coupled with spaced out fx, loads of reverb and delay, mad robot voices and a healthy dose of rastafarian wisdom.

two more masterpieces of detroit house that will send shivers down the spines of true deep heads. >dirt rhodes< has an uncut, raw afro-beat feeling to it with layers of distorted, delayed, effect-ladden rhodes meandering on top. >yu forgot< spreads a feeling of deep melancholy with voices moaning the blues over a trademark theo parrish beat.repress

when i first started making the drum on my mpc it sounded like a battle of drums i then added some stabs from the machines, trying to make it sound like the oldschool chicago tracks. this track is all about editing, drum programming and of course the inimitable tap repeat touch that only the mpc can generate. the end result is ninted house, a pure floor killer for all you real house heads. the clash is not a reference to the band but i felt the track goes well with ninted house it has the same mpc groove. stabs and hip hop sampled voices that remind us of those kind of tracks, where editing and sound mixing are more important than the musical elements. its that breadth in house music that i love. enjoy those two floor killers and dance ur ass off! franck roger

huge new 12inch from the master himself! >dont panic – its automatic< – a title that is in many ways descriptive for a track that fires the creative starting shot for anthony rother in 2008. recently having been not more than consistent, rother heralded a stylistic reorientation of his music, however, with last years programmatic >moderntronic< ep. on the a-side, >dont panic<, with the vocoder voices that have come back after a long time now, stays closely associated with the sound and the aesthetic of datapunk - a unique vision of a futuristic abstraction between techno, disco and electro. the dataclash mix on the b-side then formulates the stylistic new beginning with a consistency that leaves the listener speechless. rarely before on datapunk has homage been paid to the imperative of energy so rigorously. going against the grain with extremely surprising noise effects, the dataclash mix is tailor-made even for reductionist dj sets in its psychoactive darkness. a thrilling foretaste of the third rother album on datapunk, announced for the coming year

played by: adam beyer, magda, loco dice, tadeo, 2000 and one, miss kittin, laurent garnier, joel mull, xpansul, matt star… groovie, dancefloor friendly and fresh is how the latest martinez reference opens. it comes through cray1labworks, again breaking frontiers, the spanish label counts on the danish genius martínez, banner of re:connected, at the summit of current minimal. >you< is an orgy of sound layers, frequencies and blurred voices. >stavanger< moves faster, with a vibrant percussion, overlapping and ever-changing. dark minimal tech, remarkably complex & absolutely catchy. perfect for even the most demanding clubs. >burning the midnight oil< opens with a rebellious force. drums flying and bodies moving, the perfect mix between ritual & techno percussion. suddenly it transforms into house: thick pads moving down your spine. and you are surrounded. inside martinez latest hit

fenou - the sublabel of mos ferry prod. for more experimental tracks between minimal and electronica leaves the path of releasing only minicompilations with fenou05. kadebostans >grand theatre e.p.< is an homage to fantastic voices from a distant place, as it seems. with his first ep on freude am tanzen he already showed that his music is a melange of longingly melodies, melancholic vocals and minimal instrumented electronics

death is nothing to fear 3 is the third installment of spectral sounds compilation series, focused on bringing forward new voices in the world of techno. brought together by an equally brash and nuanced take on tonal manipulation, the four artists presented here - finlands sami koivikko, berlin- by - way - of detroits seth troxler, chicagos kate simko and ann arbors 2am/fm (james t. cotton and d marc cantu) - contribute a vast yet tightly controlled understanding of the compilations theme. what unfolds is a tough and modern ride through international techno and house.

the beginning of year three in the adjunct chronicles is marked by a 12inch by our own apendics.shuffle. kenneth james gibson has been bombarding the techno scene consistently for the past few years. u_derline, orac, friends of tomorrow, mos ferry, sunset diskos among other labels have served as the carrier for kens deadly weapons. remix duties are taken on by the one and only mathias schaffhäuser , a renowned techno superstar and the founder of ware records. there couldnt have been a better title than >no reduction< to literary describe this monster of a track - ken has unleashed the entire arsenal of his studio for the creation. stern synth patterns pizzicato their way through the track, deep sea signals ring in the background, distorted vocal snippets insist on taking >all the money<. energetic and magnetic dancefloor number dedicated to the real freaks. mathias approaches the rework with smooth drumming and a velvet bassline. the cheeky cabaret vibe however never settles: the diabolical pizzicato of the original returns and the voices continue their demands for (what all adds up to in the end) >no reduction<. oblivious filth brings yet another layer to this joint. beautifully crafted sounds mingle with electro-mechanical noises, layers of melting textures lure the listener into a late night wonderland

gavin herlihy has long been one of dance musics most respected journalists and djs, and with two acclaimed releases on mood music last year and more recently a brace of top-drawer remixes for unkle and alexkid, hes fast becoming one of its hottest producers. freshly relocated to berlin, his debut 12inch for kindisch, >opium haze<, confirms his status as a skilled and innovative player on the house and techno scene. >opium haze< is as heady and intoxicating as its title implies, an effortlessly psychedelic piece of music thats nonetheless firmly rooted on the dancefloor. it begins with a clicky, funked-up conga tattoo cloaked in disorienting effects which partly obscure the jazzy melody rising up from the mixs depths. out of that sticky, dubby fug emerges an insistent, upward-tripping piano line and synthesized string stabs - together forming the kind of rave-ready hook that will cause immediate damage in the club. herlihy is superbly heavy on the edit, using an eastern woodwind sample, disembodied voices and various percussive elements to deliver build after build, drop after explosive drop. >opium haze< is a hugely satisfying piece of music, and a club anthem-in-waiting. >professional exit< is a more stripped-down but no less accomplished affair, driven by a warm, rippling bassline and phased electronics. before the percussion intesifies and interlocks, offsetting a sparse one-note synth line which hangs in the air, thickening it with understated drama. at once seductive and unsettling, experimental and club-oriented, >professional exit< is indeed a professional end to a highly professional 12inch

the title track recalls those half forgotten dreams of positivity and optimism inspired by early us house music… a nostalgic arrangement of arpeggiated synths, high string lines, analogue drum machines and a 1980s vintage, new order like stepped bassline. housemuzik 1.2,3 takes us into much dark territory, dragging a similar palette of sounds into a dense psychedelic mix of acid guitar, pitched down demonic vocals and disorientating spacial effects. dont listen to this with the lights off! fajr dub is an epic, stoned dub collage built around classic space echo delay & feedback tricks, spectral voices and a shifting synth bass pattern, all underpinned by a soft pulsing backbone reminiscent of rhythm & sound productions.

raw & dirty bleep tech house by the supposed mentally okay donk boys ! somewhere between dancemania & daniel bell, the crazy guys bring back the fun on the dancefloor with 4 freaky tracks full of extatic bleeps, nasty hihats, processed voices & a phat killer groove. earlier support comes from dachshund, markus kafka, mike shannon
