john talabot is a youngster from barcelona with a rather special way of approaching music. borrowing his schools name for his alias and the most diverse samples for his music, he produces expansive and iconoclastic housey tracks. his influences range from flamenco to northern soul, from african music to traditional asian songs and he s inspiration sources go from the profound and sensual house of moodyman and labels such as sound signature or kdj to disco music, chicago house, pop or techno, whatever he likes. sounds like a bass kick and a sampler, he says us in his myspace, no less. this young producer and tireless musical tracker has the ability not just to find the appropriate samples but also to conjugate them wisely. in a great exercise of sonic inventiveness, guitars, strings and keyboards are combined in his tracks with rhythms and vocals with african reminiscences, to give us his own vision of house music, original and personal, but yet very effective. cliche allergic, songs like naomi, korlee or afrika sound cosmic and tremendously emotional without losing sight of the dance floor (thats what we call fat beats). his tracks are organic, human, full of life, the kind of music that keeps not only your foot moving but also your heart tingling.

bongard problems is classic cornish influenced breakbeat techno with squidgy roland bass and 8 bit dirt percussion. motion studies is a swingy non linear acid disco trip with moody chord backdrops and some unexpected twists and turns along the way. pixel wrap is medieval echo techno with inhuman voices that give way to a late 80s rave breakdown that builds up into something else again. excalibur is a camelot techno galloper, complete with arthurian lyrics. blank expanse is the kind of music depeche mode ought to be making if they hadnt turned into u2.

after a longer gap than intended, part two of the cage & aviary remix series lands with a bang. truck are an enigma of a band, only forming when the astral alignments deem it appropriate - the next is due in 2012. cage & aviary take the brilliant vocal into proto/acid house territory with a killer bassline ready to move any dancefloor. crude vocal cut ups add to the 80s remix feel, while guitar licks, god pads, and all manner of prophet warblings come and go in a patchwork of angled sounds. sinister strings cut through at the mid way point before the superb outro vocal takes you home. for the dub, ape into jam & leo zero put their heads together and push the track into more of a dancefloor place, employing arpeggiators to keep the cut and paste elements rolling along. leo is a man of many excellent edits, productions, and remixes - watch out for an exciting new vocal project coming from him soon

cynosure flag ship artist and label navigator mike shannon reaches into his archives and selects the much-anticipated “the box ep.” “the box is open” was always a highlight of many of mr.shannon’s dj sessions and live acts. this cut delivers nostalgic, old school of detroit, soulful, techno jack. a ton to digest there but there really is no other way to sum it up. adam marshall graces the ep with a stormer of a remix. taking things a step further, adam really explores a different use of the chords given to you in the original. a smooth kicking set of drums and ever elevating sequences of synth keep you on your toes never really knowing exactly when things will drop. definitely a production trait that adam is best known for and it never fails on the floor. howie mangel

vinyl exclusive release! no digital !!!story02 brings you more tales from the deepside that have no author attached to them and rather sound like deephouse traditionals secretly and orally passed down from one wise deephouse initiate to the next. free from superficial glitzy effects, showy noodling or even the slightest nod to the latest fad in clubland every single one of these 3 tracks is like a condensed version of what deephouse is about and revokes mystic memories of nights in dark, bassridden basements. >deepcut59< is a manifest not for minimalism but simplicity where only the slow swelling of a chord can make you burst with joy and just the addition of a hi-hat will stir you into action with new vigor. >on the way back< over on the b-side features a relentlessly pushing, driving rhythm with abstract, piercing piano chords scattered all over while the title of the closing >rhodes on drums< says it all: sweet wailing, rhodes musings on >love and happiness< for those blue hours in the morning. this story is an epic!

a new gleaming star in the sky, intending to point the way in the promised land, abates the first misty-eyed, playful publication. nonetheless jackin, house-bounce red threads twist thru all tracks, which could not be more divergent. excellent, then each one is a grandiose dj-tool destined to keep the hearing nerves back in time. diversify guaranteed and impossible to keep still. label owners are the always-on-top swiss dj and producer steve cole and the berlin born robert stolt, charactering a part of the dj- and producing team with the pathbreaking name tagträumer2. it was his original contribution, impudent, vibrating propelling was unmistakable jimi hendrixs muse. like his mentor, he cleverly combined rock n roll with reveries, today an explosive mixture. the remix of tigerskin aka dub taylor is a psychedelic sound, that remind us of the best years of bordercommunity, like a nice lsd-trip known in to those days. the cream on the cakeis steve coles remix, maximal in defiance of minimal. he compiles the language of the woodstock heroes into the >sound of berlin< and wrapped it into a story, which can be patiently eavesdropped.

hot natured represents a sunny and modern take on classic and future classic music. subtly changing, and adding a new edge to some of the many different genres that have influenced the east london wideboy and los angeles newcomer who are behind the label. along the way hot natured will serve up disco through techno re-edits, pop remixes even slices of hip hop injected with the kind of dancefloor knowledge only a seasoned dj can tap into. whether its the reimagining of seminal artists like radiohead to kanye west, or chic to notorious b.i.g, the main goal is to do this with a certain level of sophistication and class, that is often lacking in the >unofficial remix< world.these artists and their work have represented unique points of inspiration for hot natured and its aesthetic. some might argue, >why mess with perfection?< well that attitude isnt much fun, is it? so please sit back, or rather get up and enjoy the first serving of hot natured, two naughty groove riddled versions of possibly two of the best pop records of 2008, chopped spliced and funked up by a well known london techno youngster.

fame and zouk imprint owner mischa daniels has chosen his direction. the only way is up! with the success of his another place still fresh in memory, hes now hitting back hard with all that mattered. the original vocal sample comes from a memorable classics: de nuit- all that mattered, which had its first released in 2001. more than 8 years later, with the steady beat, the shivering vocals and a hypnotizing synth on top, this mischa daniels remake is about to break down the house and tear down the clubs. all that mattered wont easily be forgotten. dj support: steve angello & ingrosso: on it! supporting this new track of mischa! tom novy: looks really good to me! john dahlback: support!

schieber continues its way into more easily grooving realms and comes up with these new, elegantly sparkling tracks by berlin resident drei farben house who has already caused a stir with his delicately balanced releases on force tracks and brut!. for schieber drei farben house gives two different insights into his understanding of house music: sander is more tracky and relies on looped chords which bring you closer to house heaven with every repetition, while manifold percussions together with the beats provide the necessary injection of funk. in contrast, anagram expands the frame of grooves and chords for finely ramified bell sounds and softly glowing melodies. for his remix of anagram house routinier prudo (moodmusic/dirt crew) reduces the melodies and displays a firework of funky sound bits - a perfect tighrope walk between minimal and house which combines the best of both worlds.

played by villalobos & raresh !! what a way to start off 2009, a very strong ep delivered from catwash aka chris carrier & dj w!ld with remix from lemos & kreon. groovabilisme (original) hits with its’ crafty tech-house stomp, killer kick, and fun tribal groove. a very interesting concept on this production, as the deep grounding rhythm is super floor filling, yet the space between gives it the perfect air for the huge sub that just rolls this cut to the top of the charts. a sure shot for all players. kreon’s mix stylizes with more jack then jack himself. his vox arrangements give his cut a pop, lock, and rock it knack for the true school dancer. this remix takes any spot in a set, it’s got the capability to kick it big or be slow & deep, depending on how a player wishes to pitch it- a brilliant & effective production. lemos rocks the bells a for main lead rhythm, an excellent perspective to make for a clever & diversity ep. his mix creates a driving hypnotic bender with enough thump & smack to keep the bells intact and still lead the floor into a seductive sound scape of a moving utopia.

spanish producer and dj nacho marco comes with the next big thing >estefania<. the man behind loudeast records released on labels like freerange, pacha recordings, ryrallo, so sound, odori, aloia, future groove/mute, shinichi, exun or hypnotic music and remixed tracks for shakira, fangoria, vince watson or satoshi tomie. now he is back with the great >estefania< maxi to spread some romantic house flavour. a1_>estefania< (original mix): simple but powerful this soft and gentle track goes its way through musical sexyness. this track touches the listener very soft and comes up from behind.

after the well received dvk remixes subsitenz thought its only fitting to pair up one of dnbs hardest and bulgarias biggest export cooh with the two south london stow aways dvk. there fruits of their labor as you would expect is fooking insane. off the leash is not for the faint hearted or pregnant a relentless driver of a track with beats that mutate and evolve constantly over subs fatter than dawn frenchs ass. with the signature dvk rolling percs and pumping side chained filth matched with coohs lethal arrangements and movement of beats off the leash is one pissed pit bull in a poodle parlor. once bitten twice shy is a techy affair still relentless to the core with all the twist and turns that are synonymous to the likes of cooh and dvk. filthy stabs and hits are thrown manically around like a poltergeist having an epileptic fit in a china shop adding chaos to the already frantic bass and grooves. the main heart to his puppy is banged home half way through of its unnatural life were it warps from chilled pads to a nodders delight. dvk and cooh have started the fire and will be back to fuel it very soon!

weird soundmixture as used to from paddo, and this time a banger is on the way. we even have support from real technoheads like perc or technasia in addition to the usual freiraum-pickers as ricardo & co. this is a must have again!

theomatic celebrates its 10th release with an-2’s epic ‘viajero’. spanish for ‘voyager’, ‘viajero’ is a dedication to all travellers and the spirit of travel. it’s about the fact that every traveller searching for better place on earth every time ends up with the same - meets himself. the track is a result of a long work, waves that you hear in the background is pacific ocean recorded at machalilla national park in ecuador while guitar was recorded in izhevsk, russia - an-2’s hometown, it’s performed by ramil vafin, keen guitarist, guitar maker and big friend of an-2, finally it all found it’s way together in an-2’s st.petersburg studio. the remix comes courtesy of the ever excellent duo acos coolkas

aint no stopping us now. even if you might feel that the release pressure is on, we just cannot help to put out these gems (at least, we think thats what they are). what you hold in your hands (or on your laptop) is neo-house of the finest order. rhein-main kid robert dietz (cécille, be chosen etc.) was so kind to share his definition of h-muzik with us. to put it in a nutshell: >forward snipping< slices and cuts some nice vocal bits in a true ear candy way. even my brother gets goose bumps. >witness< sounds like a lost k.o.t. track resp. them being on the right track again and to round it all up, >faber mix< is a disc jockey tool that brings you from a to b or even z. and please, always keep paul >trouble< anderson in mind: a house is where you live in and a garage is where you park your car. loop d loop! already played by everyone…ha, ha, ha

after a very long break afrobutt is back! many will recall the wonderful moments he brought us with offerings on big bear and noid. this time afrobutt jumps ship to the bright young things at electric minds. afrobutts life has been dedicated to two things and they are disco and butts. he spent the last 15 years researching these two subjects so he could then report his findings to the rest of his tribe. the journey has been a long one, but on his travels afrobutt would make recordings and rearrange them in way that would not offend the rest of his tribe. heres a 3 track ep tacking from the full length cd, shimmering in their full disco glory no stone has been left unturned to reach his goal of providing sexy, dubby disco music that will have you butt shaking at home or on a disco friendly dance floor.

following up his well-received works for statik entertainment, dublins leonid proudly lands at sistrum with three new tracks, crafted in his signature style of mature, classic depth. on the first track >sadim< a gorgeous bassline leads the way into gentle percussion and warm strings, as slightly acidic synth stabs take you back to the simpler days of dance. honest, unpretentious and deep. classic vibrations abound on the following cut >potsandpans<. the bassline sets the tone as sonic layers slowly build into a timeless groove that could easily go on forever. a beauty, by any standard. the ep closes with >shortwave<, a low-slung, shuffling groove, >shortwave< bumps along with the help of a round analog bassline and sharp claps, as shimmering chords swirl hypnotically. this one is destined to define many a late-night dancefloor moment

techhouse, progressive, forward but everytime with a soul in it, minimal trance for the good feeling moments, tribal grooves, define robin hirtes tracks is quite impossible. a mix of different genres that explode into an ep with 3 club oriented tracks. pickin only one is impossible too, and this is the reason way this vinyl is yet on the dj bag of so many djs!!

the new white release comes with a fundamental change: it s an artist ep. the faces series was a very radical and honest way to launch an artist. but for the artist eps we wanted to give them space, so they can share deeper insights of their artistic development with us. says oskar offermann, who runs the label and does all the a&r decisions. the kick-off ep comes from german-peruvian nu , who stood out already with his last white release voca (white004). he was desperately in search of a musical identity for his peruvian roots. so he decided to join a group of shamans during travels through his home country. and they took him on a spiritual journey, in order to find his lost roots on the other side. a trip to hell which lasted a few days.

watch out for s-max new project ?osmo anarchy? the vol.1 here has an old school chicago ghetto trax flavour all the way - 3 minimal-funk tracks with killer groove! the b side really stands out with this strong analogic house production track, the a1 and 2 are funky, strong grooves with freaky atmosphere in the following of boogizm? best releases! after the fantastic make somebody happy ep released in 2005, s- max comes back on telegraph with cosmo anarchy presented in 2 singles released in a row. both ep? are a blast for dj s! s-max productions differ between house (moodymann/ jovonn/ nugroove), minimal (dbx/ todd sines), crispy+funky (herbert/ ark/ perlon/ akufen/ morgan geist) and funky techno (christian vogel, tobias schmidt, neil landstrumm, claude young). generally influenced by classic detroit/ chicago/ early warp and the whole brighton- stuff

reissue of album from 1975/a satisfying dramatics collection that includes their revised, campy version of me and mrs. jones, which had remained a staple of their live shows. astrology was riding high in the mid 70s, and (i m going by) the stars in your eyes provided fodder for astrological discussions as the guys poo poohed the differences in personality traits associated with the signs. a good balance of fast and slow tunes helps make this album a winner. good things dont come easy and never let you go are two frantic dancers that chug along faster than a speeding locomotive, while trying to get over losing you succeeds in treating losing your lover in a positive, uplifting way. the guys must have been loaded with material to keep this one off a 45. likewise for the aching, painful i cried all the way home, one of tony hesters best compositions, and easily the best ballad on the album.
