sven väth open air burner & also big with steve bug, claude von stroke, mike monday, c-rock, kiki, orlando voorn, satoshi tomiie, dj yellow !! mark august – just exalted by innervisions for their secret weapons mini sampler, known through his outstanding contribution on our compilation >grand cru< and his amazing releases on mezzotinto and curle, he enters our label family fully now with his first own release. his tracks declare his love to detroit techno and house, somehow modern but with a classic understanding. when he goes live, you should be prepared for something extraordinary. a wide colourful and dynamic pallet of sound that may amaze in its deepness but will rock your mind and body nonetheless. old joy – there is no happiness without sadness. this cognition was the initial point for this extravaganza. this timeless track sounds like a fine blend of an old djax-up record and fresh neodetroitish ingredients. its long build-up makes >old joy< a perfect match for the open-air season 2007

digitalism present their long awaited debut album incl. all the big hits. sure-shot ! there are loads of rock bands making music for the dancefloor. digitalism make electronic music that everyone can rock to. heres the first album from digitalism presented in a luxurious gatefold dlp !! for the past two years, they have been the go-to men for indie remixes, having reworked the klaxons, the test icicles, cut copy and the futureheads, to devastating effect. digitalism hail from hamburg. isi, the german born son of turkish immigrants, met jens, the child of a liberal family, at the citys underground solution record store. moelle was the first find employment there, towards the end of the 1990s. when he took leave from the shop to devote more time to his school work, isi filled. later jens returned, and the pair worked alongside each other: jens in the shop, and isi at the attendant record distribution business. they soon bonded over their shared love of dance and rock records.

smashing new urbana! again a huge spanish house track from the label that was brought us so many brilliant club tunes lately! in the same line as deux and penn & chus

incl. pig & dan rmx!! a big epic masterpiece for the open-airs ! with frank müller aka beroshima, we welcome one of germanys senior techno house producers, who is combining the best from both house and techno already since 1994 - long before the implementation of the term >tech-house<. whereas frank müller just like guy gerber was never caught between two stools but rather has the rare talent to reach both house and techno fans with his productions. and so he does again with his cocoon debut >horizon<, an hommage which reminds of the grand ol times of r&s, with xxl suspense, driving beats and hypnotic sounds and melodies

before there was dmx krew , there was 101 force , who released one 12 white label in the early90s on a small underground techno label called infrasonic . now, as acid turns once again, the time is right for 101 force to come back to the scene with the classic squelchy roland sounds you know and love from all those 88-89 classics - plus the uk psychedelic vibe that disappeared from 303 records after everyone started speeding up the tempo and using too much distortion

clectic producer johnny dangerous returns to king st. with yet another esoteric single, only yourself. his unique spoken word vocal stylings are what set him apart from other dance music producers. haunting as they may seem, they penetrate the psyche while the underlying rhythms rev up the body. italian heavy hitting producers, the pasta boys, are on board to give this an effective synthy remix thats perfectly inline with johnnys lexis. edgy, dark, minimal, techy and punchy, their remix gives energy without being overly aggressive. for those who need something a bit lighter, johnny dangerous original mix puts a bit of the funk and soul back into the song with guitar wa was and slapping percussion. theres something incredibly sexy about what johnny dangerous brings into being. is it his voice? his lyrics? his production? whatever it is, its good, and a pasta boys remix to boot? buon apetito

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard…and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling

funky families funky is on was originally released in 1984 on the flip you ll find telex s brainwash an electro classic that was released in 1981 these are the 2007 spaced out disco dj edits a must have

berghain sureshot!! apotek records is born! this new label is the love child of the renowned producer and dj jerome sydenham also know for his flagship label ibadan records. continuing from the existing legacy of the classic ibadan ten inch series, which included monumental tunes like timbuktu (ibadan) and sandcastles (ibadan/defected), apotek was created to push the boundaries of the techno genre. this first release from apotek records shows sydenhams consistent commitment to quality material as also evident in the multiple classic releases from ibadan records. on this occasion, sydenham has hooked up with japanese producer hideo kobayashi leading to the formation of their new techno duo >nagano kitchen< and here delivering their first single >asama<. this innovative techno delight, currently only in the hands of a select group of international djs, is already causing chaos in some of the best rooms in the world

der dritte raum is possibly one of the most innovative liveacts germany’s techno scene has brought forward since the early nineties, the formative years when frankfurt trance was growing into a national movement that would change the course of dance music in germany forever and inspired countless individuals with its take on electronics. with two album releases on the incredibly influential frankfurt harthouse imprint, which was partly run by pioneer dj sven väth, techno germany’s undisputed father figure who still spearheads the scene, and three album releases on virgin, there is hardly any live act and producer duo as successful and innovative as d3r

chrysanthemum ep is the first new recording from kelley polar since his hugely successful debut album released in 2005, love songs of the hanging gardens. the seeds of chrysanthemum are described by mr. polar himself as a confluence of the apocalyptic fear that permeated all cold war childhoods, comic book illustrations of blood and violence abstracted into flora and a b grade science fiction novels portraying two teens in the final throes of lovemaking as the world is destroyed in nuclear apocalypse. yet despite this decidedly dark and unique approach, the song is nevertheless pure pop catchy and indelible once heard. rosenband is lighter in subject matter yet just as deep musically, filled with synthetic layers and rhythms that reveal themselves slowly on subsequent listens. despite the immediacy of the melodies, there is a detail that permeates all of kelley polars work and rewards the attentive listener. a completely reworked instrumental version of rosenband is stretched across the b side and is dare we say it a dancefloor killer, with a long, mix friendly intro building to an incredible crescendo. the track is arranged and mixed by morgan geist and was done so with djs in mind!

disc one brings together three classic cuts from the nrk vaults. joey negros akabu project is currently undergoing a revival, what with new cuts phuture bound and im not afraid of the future currently in the front of many djs boxes. back in 2000, akabu recorded your wildest dreams for nrk, and was accompanied by the 2020 vision mix included here. ralph lawsons punchy, robotic club remix sounds just as relevant today as it did on its first release. on the flip, solid grooves trademark jackin remix of magik js feel alright still cuts the mustard and jamie andersons beautiful oceanic shimmers with cool 909 drums and luscious deep chords.

relatives was started just after the summer of 2006 as a sublabel of adult records. the third cut comes with a wide range of techno jocks. powerfull techno peaktime tracks by p. delgardo & p. walls, sinisa tamamovic, axel karakasis and zoran !!

one of the most influential dance records of all times re-issued on the original label! this record was played to death by all chicago, new york and detroit djs who started the complete house and techno movement!

forteba was born and raised in hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. his early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by german deep-house stuff. he likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. he produced some successful singles in his home country as >the garage< together with gábor pasztoriális and got released at hungary-based underground labels……

connect four records is the new sub-label of tic tac toe records. weve established it to focus on all the brilliant sounds in the deep minimal house neighbourhood – and after 2 very successful releases, were now ready to give you the fabulous 3rd – this time from turkish newcomer murat Özer. murat was born in istanbul/turkey in 1977 and fell in love with music at such an early age that hes forgotten when. he started out his active musician-ship in the 90s as a bassist at a junior high rock band then went on as a guitarist and finally as a drummer in various jazz & rock bands. however, since his childhood, bands like >depeche mode<, >tears for fears<, >spandau ballet<, >human league< and such have always drawn his attention towards electronic music

dj remy delivers again! two new tracks on his own imprint 68 recordings. scrap is a pumping club track and it was the dance floordestroyer dj remy used on his solo night @ panama! wink is a clubby track which fits the warm weather these days! sunny feelings and a feel good vibe together with a catchy piano lead

next sure-shot from the berlin boys plasmik – the success that these two brothers have already had with their first release >eight to nine< and their remix for ripperton is impressing. licensings for steve bugs fuse sampler, loco dices time warp mix and jamie jones get lost mix are just a selection of their current achievements. furthermore, they will release an exclusive track on crosstown rebels. the crowd and the djs love their style. inspired by us-techno cuts from the middle of the 90ies, they transfer and interpretation of this sound into today. with their newest release, they raised their understanding of dance music to a new level. pitch it is a dubby house track with pitched piano elements and a catchy hookline. this outstanding tune, which is already in heavy rotation, was licensed for claude vonstroke s mixmag mix.

back in 1993 munichs into somethin crew started a clubnight entitled maiden voyage. the idea behind it was simple while the successful weekly into somethin sessions set up by michael reinboth, florian keller and theo thoennessen in 1989 kept on providing a take on the current state of dancemusic from a jazz djs point of view the guys wanted to etablish another night dedicated strictly to the classics. jazz, soul, brasil, boogie and disco have been on the musical menu at maiden voyage ever since. michael reinboth and florian keller still love to play a set at maiden voyage every now and then but both guys left the ships bridge to concentrate on their variety of other projects in the late 90s. theo and rainer were joined by roland appel of fauna flash, trüby trio and voom:voom fame instead to form the infamous threepiece that kept on keeping on ever since

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

redshapes profile is still rapidly growing. taken in mind it has been just over one year ago redshapes first ep was released on delsin - a lot of things have happened! nowadays weekly doing performances through europe, and two singles ending up in de:bugs 2006 chart. back to now, this new ep. steam comes in clonky and rough, as the track species on his last ep on redshapes own imprint present. light is a deeply beatless freaked synth excursion. the flip brings more hot stuff - starting with munch, a more detroited redshape as before! sounding as a lost 69 track, with its quircky chopped up breakbeats and whobbling synth bassline. plush at last brings in the otherworldy sounds inline of this ep on styrax. catchy business!!

next smasher 12inch from detroits audion whose mouth to mouth was played by richie hawtin, sven väth, ricardo villalobos, sasha, chemical brothers, dj koze, magda, erol alkan and countless others... here comes two brandnew floorburning tracks !!

incl. rob acid aka robert babicz mix, after it has been a long time since a record was released on our favourite label fq inside, is it more than time to bring one out…here and now we come with a really fine acid track. it was produced by gabriel fiebelkorn from cologne. thats probably the reason why it was named >burn cologne<…but cologne isn t burning, but for sure the track is – it pumps and pumps and pumps, that it is a really great pleasure to listen to it. it is a very great acid track without being oldschool. the rob acid remix comes along with his typical hypnotic style and flies with you around cologne. close your eyes and enjoy! fantastic!

his fans love his flawless productions, his fresh and groundbreaking sound, which has been produced by boris s. since he was 13 years old. now its time for his first release called >back< on t:classixx. its a track which is taken from his debut album >mental disorder< and features beside the original mix an amazing sven wittekind remix and an earthshaking robert natus remix. nothing more to say

in between working on their next album and touring america and australia, booka shade have come up with this new double a-side 12inch that makes the wait for their third artist album shorter. the a-side track, >tickle< is an emotive affair: over arnos shuffling drums and a pumping bass, walter drops a repeating hook and evocative synth chords. the ideal warm, summer tune, >tickle< is sure to be played on the terraces and at all the outdoor parties this year. then they turn their attention to karma car, which was inspired by booka shades us tour

and so we have, >irst_te?< the word is bay area fillmore slang for >thirsty?< worthy saw it painted on a fence somewhere and made a track about it. this could be a breakout year for worthy who has already had multiple plays on radio one of his >whistler< remix and >that funkin noise< from his digital label, katabatic. >irst_te?< is bouncy and fun and it sounds kind of like it was inspired by the band in the original star wars with the alien clarinet players and the blue elephant on keys. claude vonstroke takes it darker and more techno, with an epic sounding build that could fit into almost any set

only unreleased new tracks from dj deeon and slugo....though he s revered among chicago djs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, deeon started small, on chicagos south side. he sold his dj mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. these crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, >for the strippers, for the street<. while tracks like >accelerate< on dance mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local chicago clubs. deeon calls ghetto house the >stepchild of chicago house<. eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. these >techno with a ghetto edge< tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. deeon found his home on chicagos own dance mania label, where he released hits like >let me bang<, >who you wit<, >da dick suck< and >the freaks<. deeon is currently signed to databass records, which is rereleasing most of his back catalog with new remixes!

massive hard-techno lp !! during the last years the labelhead of frown records called not only massive attention to himself by producing acts like felix kröcher or sven wittekind but also by his own records, which were released on reputable and well-known labels like bitshift, abstract or inflicted. his fans love his flawless productions, his fresh and groundbreaking sound, which has been produced by boris s. since he was 13 years old. you will find his vinyls in the cases of robert natus, arkus p., pet duo or dj rush. today boris s. is a class of its own in the techno scene and since two years it is not imaginable to experience any techno event in europe or brasil without boris s.

soulful percussion driven house gem that already was remixed by deep josh mixes on this release by manuel herrero and mod productions not to be missed

lerosa is dublin-based italian producer leopoldo rosa. the title track ruski combines a rough-cut sampled break with a loose, minimal arrangement of sub-bass and liquid synth pads. on the flip, russell and tempio are deep, moody house explorations, beautifully suspended by shifting sine wave pads and rhodes-like chords. born in rome, leo developed a love of electronic music through italian pop music of the 1980s, before discovering hip hop and acid house. he began djing in the early 90s and in 1995 moved to dublin where he got heavily into darker, deeper electronica and electro by the likes of autechre, drexciya and the extended detroit-inspired musical underworld. leo began producing his own music in 2000, concentrating initially on electro but broadening his range into unconventional house and techno styles. his debut lerosa release was the ‘maike ep’ on dublin’s d1 recordings in 2005. as well as this real soon release, leo also has a forthcoming 12inch on enclave recordings (ireland)
