after the huge success of the catalogue number 005, formatic records has carved the next dance board. the beginning of the new year gives thanks to the constructing dj madskillz- presenting the bottom of a noble carnival-wagon, which drills itself through the castle walls of lethargy like a trojan horse. behind it the client in person jumps out of the bellies strong vehicle and brings the format:b remix, making even more tumult in the- without a doubt from luck traced- party bodies. the communal phenomenon that dj madskillz describes as >carnival chaos< is also being picked up by ramon tapia, who (as usual) bits the celebrating horse from behind making it spit fire in front during peak-time. a movement with pyrotechnical potential in the yet young post new-years-eve-2010-era. cheers!

hotel motel is the brand new dance music project from bill brewster of dj history/low life fame and alex tepper. heavily soaked in old school vibes, while plugged right into contemporary developments in the underground house music scene, hotel motel make excellent home tapers! for their first release on the imprint they work an absolutely killer house groove around a raw old school sample to produce the totally wicked >eye no<. this cut has classic grooves written all over it. simple, but 100% effective. it defines exactly what home taping is all about. on the flip, the burnt island casuals (aka the revenge and legendary sub club resident dj harri) throw all of their joint experience and love of house music at the original, bounce it off the studio walls and rework it into a warehouse bomb that will have you licking the walls for more. 100% house music with bits. play it all night long!!

as part of the 2010 rebirth of vladislav delay-as-sistol, he has recorded a bold, poppy record, more like luomo than vladislav delay, & club friendly, too-boot. reworking by scuba, faltydl, oneohtrix point never, & walls. 180 gr + pic sleeve.

named after the bird that graces the cover of watergates latest mix cd the, >peacock ep< contains all the exclusive tracks from the mix compiled and blended together by club resident lee jones. the a-side is handled by matthias meyer and lee, who team up for a peak-time killer laden with warm chords. this one has already proved itself on watergates main floor by getting butts shaking on multiple occasions. >kreuzberg 61<, musically is clearly inspired by lees experiences in watergate and his home for the last 8 years in berlins kreuzberg district. the reduced tempo and warm melancholic strings are an audible representation of looking through watergates glass walls out upon the river during the wee hours of a saturday morning. wrapping up the ep, is the after-hour anthem collaboration between lee and daniel dreier, >lullaby<. the perfect track to hum on your sunday morning stumble home.

already tipped to be one of the biggest club tracks of 2010, from berlin to ibiza to detroit - >exodus earth< continues arts new dance division series in style. hear this one bounce off the walls everywhere this summer & beyond.

the b.t.s are a detroit deep house live act crew. this is there first release in the world. the ex-member of underground resistance, derwin hall bang the dam walls down with this groove. this remake track with the late ron banks vox sample >treat me like man< is a detroit killer! derwin had some extra production on the drums by delano smith. this track is so hot, me (eddie fowlkes) and my momma had to get this for the cityboy music. what a great track for their first release.the black exterrestrials come back with >the journey< on the flip side. this deep minimal soul house groove has that element of a underground banger with euro flavor - with lead vocal by angie sexy ass!

first on decks.de !! founded in 2009, time has come for the 1st release, >plusminus1<. whereas berlin dj sid wrote a track for the a-side, both, rohrer & siegel from potsdam, have their own track on the b-side. b2 >deepdownover<, created by alexander siegel, is a piece of art that goes back and forth, unifies high and low. his track can be said to cause emotional ups and downs. if the year had four musical seasons, >deepdownover< could be one of them. b1 >dr. pepper<, wolfgang rohrers track, a creative tool for the dancefloor, is deep and funky and has a bassline to tear down walls. with its groove, >plusminus 1< on the a-side is in the position to set fairly everything in motion. reduced to the essential

resident nick höppner returns with his third release for ostgut ton. after last years >makeover< come three new detailed excursions, plus a remix by lee jones. almost entirely constructed from field recordings taken within the walls of berghain, >brush me down< is a raw and textural jam, uncontrived and jostling with energy. jittery, shuffling and shaking, höppners love for funky, off-kilter percussion shines through as he pieces together a mysterious audio puzzle of found atmospherics, club nights and concerts otherwise committed only to memory yet now preserved and recycled. it also is a hint at what is to be expected from ostgut tons 5 years anniversary compilation this autumn.

the second half of the great lengths remixes package offers 3 more vividly contrasting interpretations of album tracks. almost a year on from the release of his debut album >one< and with >saviour of techno< plaudits still bouncing off concrete walls, berghain lynchpin ben klock turns in a remix of is this insanity that distills everything inspirational about both the club and city he calls home. spaceapes cracked vocal is welded to a sort of cavernous piston driven groove while traces of the originals melody fractured into the briefest of shards fight their way to the surface only to sink back into the percussive smog. located well outside of the heavily scrutinised uk hype centres, manchesters rising star illum sphere continues to hone his already distinct sound on the flipsides brilliant orange reworking. a clanking off kilter groove rubs up against an extended mutation of the original melody that pushes the track towards a poignant climax, evoking all the ache of reaching for the stars and landing squarely on ones face.

the 9th release on excentric muziks off-shoot rekluse brings with it a very welcome edition to the rekluse family, we are sure matt cooper is somebody who you will be hearing a lot more about in the nearest future, that is if you havent heard of him already...
from his mixmag >future hero< tag, to his efx1000 tutorial videos for pioneer (he has been likened to james zabiela but with bigger bass lines) and his ongoing residency at the dirty disco in leeds (the northern light was the original home for the club night which the ep title pays homage to), the only piece missing from his jigsaw was the production side of things, until now. he recently teamed up with spektre to launch their new respekt label with the >cuernos cubanos< collaboration, and now we are very proud to present matts first ever solo productions, brought together as >the northern light ep<.
>pack your trunks< is dark twisted statement of intent, with a hearthrob-esque hook giving off the feeling that the track is ever so slightly on the brink of loosing it, before that tough gloomy groove reminds you just why you were listening in the first place, and why you have to listen to it just that one more time...
>triptup< attacks with a driving upbeat vibe that also arrives with a crazy tinged edge to it, keeping the dance floor bouncing off the walls, this has never failed to receive anything less than devastating reactions during its many roadtests on our travels.
>the swinger< rounds off the ep with a kinky tech houser that swaps the power of its 2 harder brothers for some chirpy tomfoolery, without compromising on its absolute effectiveness to well and truly rock the party whilst getting completely stuck in your head. and dont forget the breakdown...

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.

the first release features nobody else than the nice guy and techno-preacher eric sneo (masters of disaster / beatdisaster) from frankfurt, germany. after a lot of smashers on well known labels like kombination research, clr, patterns and abstract, eric is now back on driving forces recordings with a massive 2 tracker. on the a side you can find a mainstyle braincracking track called vintage force which will drive the crowd totally crazy. with a rolling beat, the sneo typical driving percussion and a wicked leading sound, this one will heat up every mainstage all over the globe. the b side features a track called coming home, a dark and evil bassmonster with a tiny percussive melo, strong enough to break down the walls of all the clubs out there. modern techno for the peaktime is what you get. it lets you forget the hype about the minimal kind of music. next to the austrian local heroes, a number of big names of the international techno circus were signed and thats why a good and diversified start of the label will be sure.

nice price deal !!! essential & deep album by the man monoder aka jussi pekka! timeless beauty ! monoder. born in the cold north among industrial warehouses, people wearing only gray and random rabbits crossing the streets. his home town has two-lane streets which were made for the mass movement that never happened. physically close to civilization but mentally light years away. with the economic regression hitting hard, the town is filled with unemployed and old people wandering the streets and trying to find out what went wrong. like zombies of a mental desert. monoder. though the name sounds familiar, he has nothing to do with italodisco or electropop. the music, as the name, is filled with cold, stripped down and hypnotic atmospheres. taking you on a trip filled with hunger, cold breeze, forests and frozen tundra. the studio is on the roof-level of abandoned rubber factory, where disillusioned entrepreneurs try to get their daily bread doing what ever. moist pushing from the sealing and walls. water dripping during the mixdown. someone pulling cargo in the hallway.

throughout the entire record is a pleasurable, weighted atmosphere that has a peculiar glow all its own which feels like it could bead up into a phosphorescing condensation, dripping down dark concrete walls.

repress: debut solo album from karin dreijer andersson (singer of the knife).

nice price deal !!! wipe the needle consisting of swedish mikael nybom and london man lee gomez, have done a lot for themselves through the defected sublabel 4th floor and now with a full length album coming on soundmen on wax. but its their first raw fusion release which is truly the cr?e de la cr?e of house music! the release starts off with a high resolution gospel banger done with the help of swedish resident, via lusaka zambia, mr aaron phiri aka zulu gestapo (last of the gris gris) from the raw uncut concrete jungle hip hop duo hearin aid. his vocals break down the firmest of titanium walls when mashed up with the organs and jacked up kicks of this soon to be peak hour business.

part man, part machine, part cockatiel, cage & aviary take flights of fancy whenever they can. jamie paton is a dj, a one finger keyboardist, and a pot tickler. nigel of bermondsey is a musician, south londons finest oscillator, and a dedicated dabbler. together they are winners of the cosmic lottery. having put out releases to mini acclaim on the ltd editions that are dissident distribution, they are now set to spread their wings with new ventures lined up for paris based astro lab recordings, and nycs mighty dfa, to name but two. also in the pipeline is a series of ltd remix 12s on their own the walls have ears imprint - watch this...

the young band cours de performance presents us their debut - release on phonothek. its called one! this varied and extremely good produced record tunes in the club season with a beat of a kettledrum. certainly you hear the influence of the three guys - berlin! the result is a super functional ep, which is played from friday until monday. hammerfall charmed with the warm synthie and the oily clap, which even let the crowd freaks out. white walls the fantastic hands up track, which you never will forget. the amazing song you are thee is definitely produced for the peak time and shakes the sound system with a playful kick. petre inspirescus trash is a small homage to sakadat, but the guys show us how to get more groove from the metaphysical - bomb. rise, listen and start to dance. were excited to hear more of course de performance

waves of human suffering is exactly what the title implies, a non stop assault to the senses decrying the horrors humanity ritualistically bestows upon itself. but amidst the controlled chaos created by benumb leader pete ponitkoff and vulgar pigeons alumni jeff lenormand and john gotelli, if you listen beyond the walls of intense riffing, double time percussion and hardcore ethos, you can clearly hear that agenda of swine optimistically retains hope for future change. the best grinding metal has always been punk as fuck!

jackmate hat den groove im hintern sitzen, das zeigte er uns schon auf pokerflat, morris audio, resopal, oder auch unter soulphiction. hier auf >blackbox< gibt es tracks die zwischen 1997 und 2007 entstanden sind, also nicht wundern wenn euch der ein oder andere sound bekannt vorkommt.. jackmates chicago house charme ist natürlich auch hier verbreitet

dj support: karotte, josh wink, john selway, jeff samuel, chloe, laurent garnier, sebastien leger, sian (pokerflat), simon baker (infant).... just as klaus kinski once saw the jungle, minilogue see their sound as a multifaceted and highly fecund place whose nevertheless existing and complex matrix does not show itself in any apparent order. two new tracks on wir make their way through tight, slippy and steeply ascending paths, working to see the daylight in the befogged territory of the peruvian rain forest, or they ride on rapid amazonian rivers looking for el dorado, while unknown dangers lurk behind. bushwacking beats slap through the thicket, wandering on the trails of ancient cultures, not fearing any frazzle. minilogues trademark sound already overgrows the dance-floor, wriggles over sweaty walls, into the corners and beneath the turntables, and theres quite a chance to lose oneself in that labyrinth when not paying attention to where the exit once was

bastian heerhorst and patrick meissner from hamburg, first met each other in the end of the 90s by their common love for graffiti. inspired by the hamburg night live, they decided very soon to work creatively together, also for their music productions. because of bastians long time experience in electronic music and the revolutionary development of the virtual instruments, the two guys were fast able to obtain quite dancable results, also with a small budget. begun with the rather modest possibilities of a 4-tracker on the amiga and the first live-acts with a groovebox, bastians liking to produce and to experiment with all possible styles grew. since also patrick came in contact with electronic music in hamburg s scene already early, it was somehow predetermined that in the future not only walls, but also dancefloors gonna be rocked. the project >heerhorst & meissner< was born and with kompass musik a label was found, which was courageous enough to publish the first tracks of duo…

thom yorke is the pen, voice and soul of the rock group radiohead he has just released a solo album the eraser and that is where this story begins. abandoning his guitar get-along gang for the cold warmth of his computer and underhyping an album that should be plastering the walls and buses of your local city, the anxiety ridden and morose yorke cuts to the core of the dark state of humanity, unapologetically commenting on the zombies that were once humans. on this extremely limited 12,the album title track the eraser( already big with timmy regisford ) gets remixed in a distorted detroit style by slow to speak, following up on the recent bjork, u2 & arc gospel choir reworkings. on the flip is various acapellas of thom speaking on the current state of society and commerce and the radiohead song climbing up the walls, which in some strange dysfunctional way is married lyrically to the eraser. comes in a hand made silk screened jacket

dirty, experimental and abstract electro tunes !!

program 1 sets precedent for bass and distortion by giving zero respect to gravity with its displaced click-clock. the plane is minimal, creeping and crawling behind disorientating moves. program 3 bumps and pans around unpadded walls, snapping and reversing itself into a twilight zone episode of darkness. closing out the session is program 2, a ten-minute throb that echoes with dulled-snares, muted hi-hats and tone pulses that allow the bass in as the melody. influences of hawtin s concept 1 and plastikman (closer-era) projects float along, but jpls (aka jeremy jacobs) draws his own perspective with subtle lines, disjointed rhythm and evolving surprises of tone
