marco bernardi was an obvious choice for who got to do the first album on frustrated funk. representing his most delicate compositions ranging from freaky minimalistic electro trickery to the sweetest and intense excursions in the field of what they use to call intelligent techno . we simply picked out his best moments along the line and put it all together for this brilliant presentation. with this piece of art we show again that we don t give a shit about new styles, trends and hypes. we just want to deliver a very sweet package that you will still be playing and cherish in 15+ years from now. this deluxe double vinyl album will be sweetened with hand stamped label art, hand made screen printed sleeves and pressed on pretty pink transparent vinyl to make this package extra special. enjoy!!

vol.2 for your ears

>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.

helmut dubnitzky with his second release on yellow tail, his successful releases and remixes alike were published under labels such as kiddaz fm, glückskind or spinclub. with his own brand brise he gains a lot of respect and support in a very short time. turn the speakers up for helmut dubnitzky s -runaway ep

nice price deal !!! after a summer of midnight studio sessions and surprise shows, da hardy boyz (aka blu jemz, unemployed lloyd, and sterryo) have finally emerged to the bright surface with their debut ep. opener here i a whispers to their formative period as a cheeky german techno - ron hardy tribute band (we re keeping the demos under wraps). dont take it too seriously... but take those arthur baker inspired beats and synths seriously. the instrumental i want you there pays homage to the cosmic disco 12inches the boyz love so much and sets up the club heater hardy time. this club mutant has been getting the hardest love at shows with its hard drums, new wave basslines and echoed lyrics. for the cherry on top, dfas runaway deliver one of their finest remixes, completely deconstructing here i am into a minimal disco hit.

1994 classic by legendary chicago vocal group feat byron stingily!!

bodo elsel has only done a handful of records and the two that i have known and loved since 1998 were put out on playhouse, the excellent housey sister-label of mighty klang elektronik. one track in particular, discount baby, has always stood out in my mind as a high water mark in the sacred art of groove (you may have heard of it). punchy accents and resonant bass layered with trippy vocal loops, its dubby acid house of the highest order, made by a mysterious german lego-master, who the a&r team of mike mind and thomas st shindig managed to coax back into activity.
it only took bodo a year to answer mr. minds email, but he eventually delivered three amazing tracks... >haustier< revitalizes piano house. >mai< is incredible, and >mein haus< is one of the top few all-time expressions of the greatness/meaning of germany, putting it in the fine company of the autobahn, sven väth and christmas-market schwein. nice wibes!!
the icing on the cake was that bodo made it very clear he wanted no part in royalties or any of that business crap... he just wanted 42 copies of the record. yes. 42.
we were so inspired by all of this that we decided to put this record out in a different way for us that just feels right this time.... if you want to find out just how good the >mein haus ep< is, you will have no choice but to buy a copy of the 12 inch because this one is a vinyl exclusive!

love from montreal,
thomas von party

2006 album!!

like his dj status, as a producer, jesse rose is a guarantee. world-renowned for the sound he created with long term mentor and dubsided label boss dave switch taylor, jesse is now the guy you turn to when you want a dancefloor remix, lending his services to the likes of hot chip, simian mobile disco, underworld to name but a few. after the phenomenal success of jesse’s mighty debut album, >what do you do if you dont< comes the third single from the album – >well now<. if you havent already heard the hooky >well now< in the clubs or on the airwaves, where have you been? the original mix is exactly what you would expect of jesse with its cheeky vocal and typical comedy factor make this mix so catchy its hard not to recognise it after the first play. flipping over savage skulls add their remix treatment to the track. these talented swedish boys who already have a dubsided original release under their belt and a killer recent remix for major lazer, give >well now< their bass and bumps whilst putting a kaleidoscope of funk back into electro.

an absolute treat for all the detroit disco freaks from derrick may and carl craig! originally released in 1992 on spiritual records, >simply just a ventage< features the two legends looping, filtering and slicing the f*ck out of john roccas >i want to be real (farleys hothouse piano mix)<, while on the flipside youve got the disco house bomb >ventage (institutional mix)<, which uses the original sample from >no control< on designer music

raz ohara and his odd orchestra return for their second album for get physical. >ii< is the follow up album to the critically acclaimed self titled raz ohara & the odd orchestra cd that is considered being one of the album highlights in 2008. its a warm, organic collection of avant-garde, open-hearted pop music which positively teems with life, a forest of pleasures and possibilities which youll want to lose yourself in indefinitely.
>ii< is certainly less melancholic than its predecessor – its imbued with good feeling, energised by the rhythms and cadences of summer and the great outdoors - but its not euphoric, there is an underlying note of caution, of trepidation. this emotional mix is what makes the record so powerful, especially when allied to a similarly ambiguous musical mix: which imperceptibly melds folk, classic pop, electro-acoustic experimentation and modernist electronics. 10 beautiful songs plus a special download (code included in the artwork) of the single >miracle< make this album a perfect journey through the winter days.

ltd repress !!! 3 stretched out and beefed-up edits of tracks that originally appeared as skits on the brilliant rockwell records label...tried and tested on the dancefloors of amsterdam - these are sure fire head rockers/ankle flexers!! >kutparra< is a contagious banger that makes you want to jump, like kriss kross used to do. >kutwell< comes as a catchy discofied house tune that reminds us of some detroit productions some years back.. this stays from though! >nosestep< finishes off in true aardvarck style.. a stripped down track with a bassline to kill for… bare essentials

this is the first - and probably last - drug test you actually want!

following the great international success of glitterbugs album >supershelter<, everyone has been curious to hear what this unique and unmatched producer will bring us next. and truth is, there is a lot! glitterbug has been working on piles of new enchanting materials, tracks, projects and remixes.
as a first release in a series that will lead to his next (double cd) album, is the >dim flares ep<: a dream-like, intense and deep moody ep that carries that very special glitterbug sound to a whole new level, touching on deep emotional techno with a utopian 4/4 perspective.
this beautiful ep opens with >so much more>, an epic track that releases its melancholic-euphoric mood slowly over the course of 9 minutes, turning itself into a beautiful, hopeful, hand-raising screamer that floods the dance floor with overwhelming warmth and heartfelt love. side a ends with >deadpan<, an intense dark ambient miniature that lets us peak at glitterbugs world of score-like ambient compositions.
the b-side begins with >daubed beams<, a deephouse track all glitterbug. >daubed beams< feels like what mid 90s detroit techno released on warp would have sounded like: unbelievably deep, pensive, warm, divine and pumping.
c.sides latest emotive ep culminates with >be content<, a warm track with a deep drive of warped pads, a dark bass-line, airy percussion and unforgettable arpeggios. this exhilarating dance track is layered with bottomless emotions, the kind you want to close your eyes to, hug the person dancing next to you and wish it would never ever end.
the >dim flares ep< is the first in a series of 3 magnificently moving eps (by glitterbug, christian löffler, and a collaboration between glitterbug & ostgut ton s murat tepeli) to be released on the c.sides label in 2009-2010, all leading up to glitterbugs extraordinary next double album which is currently in the making and will be released in spring 2010.

zoot woman present their third album. things are what they used to be has by no means strayed from the dark and atmospheric, hooky and melodic road, but what we now hear is a strikingly upfront, passionate, and mature development.the euphoric title track emphasises the want to return to how things once were in another state of mind, time and place. while this album takes you on a journey, sometimes introspective and often drenched in desire, each track is unique. from the pulsing hook line of we wont break, feeding an addiction to emotional melody in lonely by your side and more than ever, then to be shaken up by the pounding stadium electro of witness.

the souvenir family grows this fall with two newcomers, two new remixes and four new essential tracks. please welcome warmly the global vibes of cj jeff, m-in and the remixes of kreon and sante on souvenir021. on the a-side, souvenir celebrates the talented greek electronic scene. c.j. jeff aka nikos safiris gradually built his sound through releases on his own label rythmetic or modern love. he signs a remarkable entry on souvenir with the a-side >got 2 b<. wave your arms! take a breath! a tribe of incredible bongos players is surrounding you, when the vocals of an androgyny shaman start compelling you to a never-ending foot-stomping dance. you are right, where you want to be. damn, it s >got 2 b< a hit. kreon has been raising a fair share of interest lately with appearances on cecille numbers, resopal or robsoul. he signed a dub remix and a perfect spell to push to the party to the early sun shines of the day. back to germany on the b-side! m-in aka marcus ferdinand from frankfurt has spread his talents of producer with releases for off or get digital, and early supports from josh wink, johnny d, thomas schumacher or dj t. again we are talking about deep sensations, haunting vocals and afro rhythms. the tiefschwarz brothers have hammered >capetown river boating< on the road this summer. now its your turn to send a blessing from south africa to your crowd. studio partner of ali and basti, philip sante maier has barely released >dambalaa< last month, that he is already back in production. nobody will complain. his trademark, a clearly percussive approach and a dizzying groove particularly fitted with >capetown river boating<. 2 - 2, we gladly go overtime!

kid massives audio damage label kicks off with some heavyweight names in the shape of raul rincon et al

boris ross solo ep on his own luxaflex imprint. after a series of great remixes and releases on labels like oproof (rum), stolen moments and luxaflex its now time for the solo ep! an icredibly funkie house / minimal release for all of the headnodding crew out there. build like only boris can with its funky rhythm and fast edits and chords. some hidden vocals in there for your pleasure.. i want to ask you.. uhm..

nice price deal !!! the songs on yachts debut album see mystery lights from the bouncy, burbling you cant take it with you screed the afterlife (which plays like a less spastic companion piece to the mae shis run to your grave) to the roller rink ready vocoder vocals of im in love with a ripper represent yacht at their most poppy. its a collection of stone jams that finds the band finally as hellbent on experimenting and expanding the boundaries of its sonic scope as it is on having fun. built on electronic foundations laser effects, skittering computerized beats, and spacey synth lines (or guitar riffs that have been tuned or distorted to sound like synths) these new songs are giddy with creative freedom while remaining tethered in service of their melodies. the vocal melodies are bright and buoyant, but delivered (by either band member, or in unison) in a chanted, oftentimes detached monotone that plays up the repetitive lyrics mantra like feel and adds a welcome undercurrent of slacker cool to their otherwise sugary optimism.

patrick begins with his techno bomb “tooth n nail”, a track that showcases a heavy detroit influence with smooth synth work reminiscent of productions from robert hood and carl craig. midway through the track, patrick keeps us guessing with a wobbly synth line that adds playfulness to an otherwise straightforward, moody journey. an understated use of serene female whispers throughout gives this tracks techno classicism a fresh sound. next patrick gives us “davinches”, a chugging tech-house track that pairs a deep, buoyant bass line with a tight, resonant kick, giving it a dynamic groove. patricks tight percussion work keeps things moving with its rims, clicks, and ticks set against a spooky, playful melody that energizes and propels the track to its finish. fans of guido schneider won’t want to miss this one! on the flip, nyc’s elon of clink recordings fame, and a newcomer to klectik, takes on remix duties with a minimal techno take on patrick’s “tooth n nail”. elons version is a pulsating, stripped down mind-bender marked by sub-bass and the sporadic clangs of raw machinery — sexy! this remix maintains the smooth character of patricks original in melodic sensibility, but stands on its own via sparse rhythmic patterns resulting in a deeper, moodier treatment.

cant get a job, dont want a job, fuck work.
the savant guard, brooklyns little label with the big sound, comes roaring back with this summers irresponsibility anthem, fuck work.
on their left field debut, cubic zirconia, a 4 headed genre-defying monster bred in nycs lower east side, effortlessly combine acid basslines, crisp pre-software percussion, and noisy guitar stabs with an all too relevant call to arms. fuck work? we are down.

fuck work, buy records.

der titel legt es schon nahe: >for now<, das zweite album des britischen 60s-retro-trios the bishops, ist eine art bestandsaufnahme. eine referenz an den moment, an das jetzt, das die gruppe aus london seit erscheinen ihres deb?talbums 2007 mit hunderten konzerten ausgiebig gelebt hat - u. a. als support f?r james blunt auf dessen europa-tour. so sind denn auch viele der songs von >for now< auf tour entstanden, aufgenommen wurden sie im sommer 2008 in london vom produzenten brian o?shaughnessey (primal scream, my bloody valentine). abgesehen von den klassischen dreimann-arrangements spielen the bishops auf >for now< auch mit ungewohnten instrumenten wie trompete, mundharmonika und klavier. rockig und im besten stil der kinks und fr?hen beatles ist das allemal, wie nummern wie >hold on<, >free to do what you want< und die erste single >city lights< beweisen. doch auch ein folksong wie >he was a friend of mine< schaffte es auf die platte.

dj and production trio lexicon avenue selected some of their choice house tracks for the nite:life series!!!

moleculez returns to meta4 ready to clear dancefloors with some of his most destructive material to date. you know you are dealing with some serious dance music when none of the tracks on a release have vocal samples. the opening track, future in progress, is blessed with a wonderfully deep kickdrum that would probably even sound good at plus20, although we havent tried that yet. out of a nowhere the track suddenly seems to have stopped when an eerie melody creeps out of the dark. this sets the tone for the rest of the release: dark, driving and threatening. gargoyle is the most driving. lava bomb the eeriest: and future in progress the most threatening. thats what we think, anyway. you decide. the last two tracks on this release are probotector and the haunted. the first is actual textbook honest to goodness industrial hardcore while the latter isnt really anything we can talk about here. highly recommended because we want to sell records

welcome to rebel intelligence - the new label is ready to make you pop like it was 1984 all over again! their first single is by the uks matt whitehead, one half of signal type (along with phil bolland on the cultivated electronics label) and captures the style of early electro funk in all it s analogue glory. so good! the a sides >beat the heat< is the more pacey of the two tracks here, constantly building with vintage synth stabs and the true feeling of electro, reminding us of harold faltermeyer and all those cats so heavy influenced by kraftwerk. on the flip, >tuff city< combines classic b-boy sounds and punchy drum programming to create an authentic listening experience that will make you want to get your lino out and bust some moves. highly recommended.

great wallposter for up to 12 cd s. put in your best looking and favourite cd s. see them, play them, whenever you want.

olmeto, a small town in corsica, is infamous as the birthplace of the family vendetta. we chose the name as it has an air of mystery but also a bit of fire. we felt that we wanted a label with us as the only artists free to do what we want, how we wantà this is release number 23. all have been ours, and range across the house spectrum, vocal, minimal, tech and deep and probably a little of each in all. the raw road and madagaskar whilst different, are made from the same mood. a strong rhythm with elements brought in and out, like a good dj, you lock the groove and then begin to play around it. although all tracks are by us, we do bring in artists we like to remix from time to time. the raw road will be remixed by mark broom and nic fanciullli and they will join artist such as loco dice, green velvet and unkle who have both remixed tracks over the course of the label.

daniel mehlhart is an aficionado. that would explain the cosy buzz emblazoning his >coming close<. the deep bass adept prepares some tasty meal here, just like an accomplished cook, pecking only the best ingredients for his versatile tracks. two soulflul clappers are the radiant result, featuring tenderly restored sequences and carefully tailored samplework. gabriel ananda shows off impeccable taste by firing up the robot beatbox for his remix, tuckpointing the sounds so well, that one might want to rub his ears due to so much rapture. three masterbuilders ftw

this special release is dedicated to detroit dj legend ken collier. his untimely passing touched me personally as he was one of a small few who supported my music and me. because of ken collier, detroit developed a dance scene, which inspired artists & producers to make dance records, which gave birth to techno, which has provided careers for so many of you in the business today. so i dare ask all you techno producers, djs, record labels, record shops, clubs which play techno music and fans of techno to pay respect to ken collier just as you would our other fine music innovators. however, this special compilation isn t about techno, it s about h.o.u.s.e sound - broadcasting it to you from live inside the st-er-eo. this record contains no artist or track listing because i don t want this to be about who made the tracks, track titles, or even who wrote this commentary. this is my personal tribute to him, and how he has motivat ed me to make my contributions to house music. thank you ken collier, for helping me grow, not just as a dj or a record producer, but also as a person. every dj and dance artist here in detroit owes thanks to you for going out into the musical forest, chopping down trees and paving the way for us to build house.

tensnake has been hamburgs best-kept secret. has been! past 12inchs for labels like radius, mirau (which he co-runs) or his gorgeous >keep believin< three-tracker for endless flight speak louder than words. on top he delivered all these nice remixes for the likes of junior boys ( fm÷ is theee one), sally shapiro or more recently toby tobias on rekids. firmly rooted in new yorks sweaty boogie dreams and with a soft spot for dazzling house music, >in the end< stays true to tensnakes juicy techniques and pleases our friends and colleagues (radio slave, robet dietz, prins thomas, gilbr, mark e) alike. we start off with a courageous house tune that has all the qualities of an a-side and concisely defines the dilemma of lovers: in the end someone always has to cry. but as long as it sounds like a cutty ranks rocket launcher, we want test it. the other side of the medal features >holding back my love< a slow-motion disco robot bomb with a crooning tensnake on the mic that makes everyone feel happy like they should. finally, >thethenunknown< somehow melts the moodiness of early factory records (think a certain ratio with a little finger exercise) with the atmosphere of kenneth dixon jr.s >misled< - one for the heart, soul and your headphones. at least, gerd feels and thinks like that. speaking of feelings. if downloads are your thing, you can get the digital bonus track >can you feel it< at all the usual spots. how is that for a change? this guy aint a blindschleiche

hailing from the musical mecca of austin, texas, and following up their brilliant debut album from last year, which featured in our year end top 10, with this already hugely lauded sophomore effort. recorded by the band in their infamous studio/trailer, wailing fuzz guitars, soulful, yearning, emotive vocals, and one of the tightest rhythm sections going provide the currency in which this unique power trio explore their brilliant, unexpected and wide ranging musical ideas. an entirely original, sprawling combination of sixties rock touchstones, free form jazz jamming, and a defiantly post punk spirit, and all performed with a precision, and vibrant intensity not often found on record.

played and featured already by many artists like takkyu ishino, chris liebing, frank müller, laurent garnier, carsten schorr, gel abril etc...

played by mathias kaden, sebo k, tobi neumann, karotte....there is a date this year in autumn you should keep in mind: the release of marcel knopfs first album on mos ferry. being a dj marcel knopf is used to fathom genre boundaries and now and then he dives into dubstep, electronica and realms of pop. with the single dusty dance you get a foretaste of the upcoming congenial longplayer. in its own way, his single enables an acoustic addiction of a thrilling style mix. these two tracks move in between smart techno and grooving illustrious house and points out, that knopf doesnt want to be bound to one musical direction. the title track and a-side of the single >dusty dance< is one of the floor fillers of his album. get ready for an enthralling groove, a monster break and a hook, where any bias against trumpets in the club is blown away. on the b-side youll find the oldschool frickling house track >rec-chord<, which reflects knopfs addiction for the beloved vinyl format. go out and get yourself a physical copy, to hear this nice and comfortable sizzling noise. its the best way to get a charming club feeling. and always remember: who buys first, may listen longer!

since its foundation in the year 1995, reykjaviks gus gus are working hard to make this world a less boring place. initially tagged by the press as the next big icelandic music export after bjoerk, the band swept away all cliche thinking with their highly infectuous metrosexual multimedia pop and secured themselves a deal with the prestiguous 4ad label. &#8233,,,since then a lot of hot water has been ejected by icelands geysers but gus gus miraculously always managed to combine avantgarde with pop, soul and of most prominently - with electronic music. especially with their furious live shows they ve earned themselves a devoted following worldwide. &#8233,,,&#8233,,,this years september will bring us the release of their sixth studio album that goes by the name 24/7. at this point, we dont want to let too much of the cat out of the bag but its certainly right to say that they ve once more reinvented themselves and the result is truely breathtaking. as we re convinced that the world-embracing harmonies and impeccable catchiness of add this song should be heard during this summer season, so we ve decided to already share this with you now. &#8233,,,&#8233,,,the remixes all sound as excellent as their producers: patrick chardronnet, lopazz & zarook and gluteus maximus...

listeners who are familiar with the ex-bizarre inc and chicken lips man s previous material will know exactly what to expect from andy meecham s latest record. the staffordshire-based producer wears his penchant for vintage analogue synthesizers firmly on his sleeve, creating a melange of hard-hitting disco beats and throbbing cosmic melodies. entitled space beyond the egg, the album sees meecham exploring a few new territories, with the swinging kananana even featuring a catchy vocal hook, marking it out from his previously instrumental solo material. prepare yourself for plenty of strutting and shuffling percussion as well as mindbending synth workouts that should send you firmly into space when the record drops in june.

apendics.shuffle’s elegance & malice ep has been reworked by two great talent’s the master of minimalism thomas melchior & ransom note’s adultnapper, both artists have expressed there interpretations to the highest order. adultnapper has taken a darker path, raw & steady drums keep you grounded whilst disassembled voices and eary strings make you realize things are going to get weird. there is a constant hook in the background that sounds like the noise of a sleeping monster but as it gets louder you know it’s about to wake and it does, throwing you backwards in a totally different direction. melchior’s remix takes you on a different journey one that you never want to end. lush melodic sound’s and stunning percussion with deep soulful vocals keep growing and growing drawing you ever nearer all the time never letting you go.
