der zweite part des jonzon comebacks in 2010 und dafür einfach hier nicht mehr und nicht weniger als die blanke, ungenierte dokumentation des einschlägigen berlin techno, wie man ihn bereits mitte der 90-er jahre nicht besser hätte erhalten können. die tracks wie >make up< und >see the light< erreichen dabei auf diesem streng auf 300 copies limitierten vinyl mühelos den reifegrad eines abgeklärten alterswerks, in dem die kühle technoide klangarchitektur mit vielen impressionistischen soundskizzen angereichert wird und die am ende dennoch aus dem off jede menge schwingungen und techno-funk auf den boden bringt, der anschaulich, als ganz grosser wurf aus dem nowhere auf einmal wieder ganz dicke prognosen für die zukunft von jonzon, und nicht nur diesem, verspricht. man darf hier jetzt schon gespannt sein, wie die jonzon-story weitergeht. the only way is up!

i.f.m. are on their way to the promised land with this fine drumpoet release!

hi everybody.
profan (...remember wolfgang voigts abstract techno label from the 1990s) is back from the future, and again complicates the situation. like his earlier projects, the brand new sog (strictly limited to 400 copies) release combines seemingly familiar and extremely unfamiliar signs, and in the most unusual way bends them around the utterly familiar bass drum. the result is a conspiracy of four sound frescos of peculiar beauty, and indeed they deserve the title abweichung (engl. deviance) - named after voigts painting featured on the cover. this is minimal art techno that raises questions.
profan 32 will be released before profan 31which will be released a bit later. yet both are heralds of the art publication/double cd compilation: wolfang voigt – werkschau to be released in spring 2010.

limited warehouse found!!! a must have for any fan of good chicago house!! sublabel from minimal wave comes with an official repress wich can be considered by many to be the first full length house record ever produced - tracks from this 1984 album have been bootlegged and re-edited over the years but here it is, in it’s official repress glory!

after his big release on the clone loft supreme series, and great tracks on prime numbers and philpot mr dokes is back in the spot lights. here another intense three track ep with tracks that ll give you goose bumps all over. with his special way of programming, his dramatic strings and light piano play and shuffling house beats this is one of those artists with a special musical finger print that one recognizes out of thousands. a rare talent which puts more value on playing with his moods and emotions instead of aiming in straight dancefloor power. this 12 is building on what he started with the chicago pimp release... pure house tracks with a deep irresistible drive combined with joyful keys and seductive strings. some magic tracks from mr dokes!

first release of john dalys new label called one track. each release dedictated to one track which will be presented in several versions. these are tracks that john loves playing in his own sets and he is so friendly to share these tracks with us. meltdown is a crispy hypnotic tracks that has that lovely mood that mr.daly always creates in his tracks... he combines this with an irresistible updated larry heard groove. fierce classic chi-town drum patterns performed in a crispy modern way. the b-side gives 3 other versions and takes of the track which make it an perfect dj tool. john daly quality!

a warm welcome for gtmuzike! this spanish label has already 3 releases under their belt which were very hard to get on a normal way so they decided to expand.
and thats not strange if you here this fine techno ep by spains most popular techno artists. fer br, toni alvarez, rantan, dj cristiao & pratap are regulars in the techno roster these days!

big with: mandy, pete tong, thomas schumacher, anthony collins...
even well after its may release, damian lazaruss superb debut album, >smoke the monster out<, is still ringing in the ears of those who anticipated one of dance musics most colorful personalities debut album. his third single features two mixes of one of the albums most infamous tracks, >diamond in the dark<. these two mixes - by mr. lazarus himself and dop - keep the diamond out all night, way past its bedtime, and carousing on until the morning light.

fine selection of funky green dogs classics!!

from a land a swim away to the banks of detroit proper comes kero (detund, detroit underground), to add his brand of tech savvy kookiness to the cryovac machines soul. unafraid to change the rules of standard programming, kero does what ever it takes to ensure the freshest product. cryovac works to wrap a tight seal around the many interpretations of the detroit sound and what it should mean. cryovac believes in the truth of the vinyl format, and believes that this is the only way its music should be heard. cryovac is committed to preserving the unique style of the artists that describe detroit.

right now is a bit of a lost record that has never officially been released as a single but managed to make its way onto jt donaldsons dj mix album and mark farinas house of om compilation on om records. now the record is being given the recognition it deserves by being released as a single on rebirth records with a couple of hot new mixes.

lurking in the back of every transportation vehicle there allways is someone who is up to no good... someone who vandalizes other peoples property & wrecks havoc everywhere he goes. their called lowlifes... bullies of the city... scum of the earth! they dont give a shit about anybody else. just thinking where they re at now and how they can raise hell in any possible way. matt-u has stood up and offered his dope ep as a meaning of destruction upon the non believers. the a side deliveres chaos unlike we ever seen before. people pulling and hitting each other, turning themselves into scum of the night... not giving a shit about the rest. flip it over to b1 for heads up - it ll be the last time anything happens unnoticed. keeping the scum people focused and ready for action. take cover keeps everything in check, the announcer warns people of this terrible threat thats gripping itself among the crowds. so run like crazy if you want to be safe. this is not a drill!!

this new ep retraces ceephaxs history and its very own personal and genious way to appropriate a musical style with always such generosity. from the dubstep of souley man, the sunset dancefloor hit bacardi breezer, the drum n bass track dona hue, the break bit track turrican 2 to ticker train, an acid bomb that defies anybody to not let themselves get carried away by these wild bpm.

limited collector box set that holds a best of rick wade deluxe cd, five 12inchs (of which two are exclusive to this set, one will not be released for a while, the other one only available in this box) and a collectors car freshener tree. this special limited to 200 copies collectors box holds the three previously released harmonie park revisited 12inchs, plus a fourth one, which wont be available any other way for a while. it also includes an exclusive 12inch to this box, containing both the vox & instr. mix of >crazy luv< (new track). extra bonus item is a car fresheners tree in the shape of the harmonie park logo.

dub police comes with the goods again. this time its the turn of one of dubsteps founding fathers d1, here to show them what its all about. jus business has been finding its way into the sets of all the big hitters lately. with its dark rave stabs, tripping jungle beats and pounding sub bass its not hard to see why ? serious business from d1. things couldnt be more contrasting on the flip with the energetic party roller pitcher. skipping beats and a quirky lead line, with funky esq. melodies and soulful grooves ? a really bouncing track. all in all another top draw release from dub police and a quality slab of vinyl from d1 showing us just how diverse this artist really is.

get the curse music is proud to present its debut release, midnight madness ep. perfectly embodying get the curse s approach to club music, this release is a one way ticket into the heart of dancefloor darkness with clement meyer at the helm. already supported by andrew weatherall, maetrik, ivan smagghe or sei a, this is an essential addition to the collection of djs into dark and spooky tunes that leave no dancefloor indifferent.
already support by oliver huntemann, stephan bodzin, gregor tresher, toi neumann, deetron, agoria, slam, secret cinema, speedy j, d julz, kiki, samuel l session, chloe, brodinski, nic fanciulli ...

kicking off with a sampler featuring tracks from inland knights and 62 mile high club (andy mcloughlin - one half of kinky movement & bonny wrongford)! dj support from giom, ken ecb, lawnchair generals, mes, miguel migs, colette, oliver desmet, groove armada, annie mac & fred everything!!!

after their great debut >motzbaz / indeed< on afao recordings and the following 12inches >hello kool nice< and <langenthal ep< on quintessentials recordings, which found its way into the bags and charts of djs like quarion, laurent garnier, jimpster and many more, jagged strikes back with a 12 on bonzzaj recordings. this single also contains a hot remix by the dutch multi-talented man aardvarck, one half of the rednose district. jaggeds productions are restrained and minimal in the right way - they doesnt let things get overloaded. they focuses mainly on straight beats and functional house music but always with the right ingredient of soul and rawness. the title track ten to twelve is a heavy cut with a lot of disco influences, funky basslines, cool house-grooves and surprising changes all over the track. the remix of ten to twelve comes from aardvarck, who releases on rushhour, kindred spirits and delsin. he transformed the original in an broken beat stomper, which sounds like it emerged straight out of londons co-op. the b-side contains chicago, a deep house number with forward going percussions, warm strings, oldscool-house-vocals and a slight acid flavour and last but not least the track an orange drippin, which takes you with its deep synth, percussions, basslines, bells and things in the deeper shades of…jagged nation. hot shit gesundheit

rinse fms breakfast show host, dva is a producer with a unique take on the uk funky bug, blending the stiff 8-bar funk of grime with a super-supple rhythmic sensibility, sewing neon colours with a laid back precision into his tracks. >natty< is a prime example, drums stagger like they are about to topple over, squelchy bass synths lock together a tough tribal drum pattern, liquid metal trickles around in the mix, and these contrasting elements react with explosive results on the dancefloor. on >ganja<, a cartoonish ring-tone-friendly synth melody worms its way around tight soca-esque drums and housey organ stabs. factor in the depth-charge 808 subs, steel drums and sparingly used ragga chat and you ve got a technicolour hyperdub debut fresh for 2010.

1st part of the ten city best of series!

this e.p. is a composition by two artists who release their feelings thru their music. g.marcell presents >breathe<. on this side of the e.p. breathe is a musical adventure were g.marcell expresses a time period of release from the everyday drama. sometime in our everyday life we need just a little relief from the everyday pressure of the issues we encounter. this is the reason for the inhale mix and the exhale mix. the inhale mix is the more laid back groove where as the exhale mix is the more energetic groove strictly for dancing. on the other side of the e.p. >necessary sanctuary< is amirs experience of the dance floor when he hit the club scene. the original mix is full of energy and a for sure crowd pleaser. the 3am mix is more of the mellow late nite groove. over all, the e.p. is something for everyone to relate to in one way or another.

round no. 2 for the alex baus credo repaints, this time featuring the long term techno-heavyweight chris liebing and the uprising jonas kopp from argentina. chris keeps close to the original of >full method jacket<, a track he has been playing frequently, adding his own flavour in a very impressive way. jonas turns >lofi micro< into a stripped down and arrangement-wise more relaxed version, but his precise drumming and sound-design makes this remix becoming something completely new. full points again and already massive dj-support from a like abba to z like zz top :-)

must have classics!! includes the amazing thats the way love is!

it was only a matter of time. two genre-defining artists together ... pop music and dance musics most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. dj hells >u can dance< is an interpretation of an unreleased bryan ferry song, but its one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.
hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of >teufelswerk<, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. one that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as siberia, opening up the cannes film festival ... basically just being bryan ferry.
and now here they are together ... it all started in 2006 when hell dropped in to meet ferry at his west london studio. at first they discussed hell remixing an old roxy music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (u can dance).
they had similar impressions of one another — hell: >i was impressed by his aura and his look.<, ferry: >he impressed us with his sophistication and charm.< fast forward a few years later, and hell is hard at work on teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the aforementioned song titled >u can dance<, a serpentine moroder-esque disco burner. with the help of old friend peter kruder, of kruder and dorfmeister fame, hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc set, in which ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.
ferry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but hes been going to clubs since he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career hes worked with legends such as nile rodgers of chic and david williams from michael jacksons band. >its always a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove.<
the single follows in the wake of hells >the dj feat. p. diddy< which has won over floors and critics alike with its nearly 30-minute radio slave remix and fine work from the likes of deetron, jay haze and others. on >u can dance< hell and ferry have similarly pulled out all the stops for the remixes, gathering up work from the grammy-nominated producer carl craig, dfa mainstay tim goldsworthy and pop electro superstars simian mobile disco.

following a number of remix works from olmeto records at the close of 2009, our first release of 2010 puts bushwacka! back in charge. two sublime house tracks with masterful percussion both dripping with style.
>battered< paves the way with tribal rhythms, flutes and chants whilst >sw4< takes an edgier electronic route. olm026 showcases two very different sides to bushwackas personality, both of which are supremely relevant on todays dancefloors…

way ahead of its time and quite incredible to imagine such a modern sounding record could have been made so many years ago... this cult new wave/dance cover of the doors classic was taken off the first of the two long players that la synth band moebius (not to be confused with german electronic maestro... dieter moebius of cluster and harmonia fame ) released on moonwind records, 1979-1980.

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.

nice price deal !!! official release !
mind-blowing singles, eps, remixes (for the likes of simian mobile disco, little boots, royksopp, lykke li, au revoir simone…), a quickly-growing label (fondation records), and the night is his in most of the worlds major cities: danton eeprom had it all, to the exception of a long-playing record. after making a name for himself with hits like confessions of an english opium-eater, grindhouse or face control, it was time to go off the beaten path and show the way once again. would he go for a fairly logical sweat-ridden dancefloor riot? not precisely. not only. danton would make a revolution of his own, in dandy mode.
three words that will soon be on everyones lips: yes is more. in a cloud of smoke, over a tight booty beat and keys delving deep into thirty years of electronic music, the french londoner sings for good and is all axes out on >thanks for nothing<, making things clear from the very start.

6th chapter of xtiluxe by sergy casttle, ivan devero and robben hill!!

nope, this man is not a legend, yet! however he is in fact legendary already for his notorious live sets as well as a wide range of groundbreaking styles and sound he designed apart of the consensus way in the last 15 years.with his now presented astrodymics part1, richard bartz deals similar to the subway concept again with his past and transfers these late nineties space-disco drafts into the wonderful here and now. he delivers vivid funk-supercharged house which is at the same light as a feather and for sure a very sudatory matter.
space-disco rules!

minimal wave: both a genre of underground diy electronic music from north america and europe in the late 1970s and 80s, and the name of the label devoted to unearthing these recordings. the minimal wave tapes is the first official anthology of minimal wave music from this label. most of the songs were originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. they ve been remastered from their analog source tapes and compiled here by minimal waves veronica vasicka and stones throws peanut butter wolf.

time for the next release of the mojuba-labelboss don williams to continue his detroit-series on a.r.t.less after sven weisemanns >shove ep<. the main title >vector dance< takes a different way to approach things than its predecessors on the black and red ep! witness the funk and groove that brought us the city from the d combined with a scifi-feel which embodies the vision of techno for many of us! the second track is a soulful ride into deep glimmering field of hi-tech emotions! detroit-lovers check it out!

with five beat pharmacy albums and almost a dozen vinyl releases on francois ks deep space imprint, this dubby and eclectic project of brendon moeller needs no introduction.
chugging along at 120bpm, underpinned by a thick sub-dub bassline and a modulating maurizio-style synth cord arpeggio, pump is a hypnotic slap of deep smoky house with some memorable hooks to boot. swirling rhodes keyboards and a slick piano riff serve as a lovely counterpoint to the swinging funk of the hi-hat groove. forever morphing and evolving, the stready and unrelenting groove are guaranteed to keep heads bobbing and toes tapping!
the first remix here is by echospace head honcho, stephen hitchell under his intrusion guise. stripping away and re-contextualizing the key elements in the track, hitchell crafts a warehouse-style dj-tool that subtlely weaves its way into ones subconscious via a delightful psychedelic keyboard hook.
londons bearweasel takes a similar approach, except with a much more pronounced beat track superbly trippy atmosphere. a top notch dj tool thats likely to be spun worldwide.
all round a quality release with enough sensibility and character to be played for years to come.

after the success of the debut deadboy ep, well rounded records return to the fray with a seriously funky three tracker by brightons ultrasound.

prime numbers are back with e11.... the latest in the pn e.p series. three exclusive tracks by mr scruff & kaidi tatham, motor city drum ensemble and andrés! this time we feature a heavyweight collaboration between mr scruff & kaidi tatham who provide a smouldering jazz-house production with kaidi leading the way on keys and flute on top of a chunky, bottom-heavy groove. motor city drum ensemble drops a killer raw cut. a heavily smashed jackin’ disco workout with all the markings of a fine cajual dub or early striclty rhyhtm. the track oozes soul and is unpretentiously aimed at the dancefloor. once again danilo plessow proves less is more. andrés completes the line up with a cheeky blend of some classic ingredients. sounding like a track from his early releases, “jack city” has all the essential hallmarks of the andrés sound with an excellently simple but purely effective fusion of house and hiphop ethics

the spanish connection shows their funky skills on this new hot record. hear the caribbean bras bands march through the streets carnival style on the a-side. fer br pulls all his drummers out of the closet and marches till dawn. on the flip tribal all the way with the luky r.d.u. & peppelino!! hot hot hot!

coming from germany, rampa is surely one of the hottest up and coming producers around at the moment. he has a history of producing acts that found their way directly into the charts. his keinemusik label is on a roll at the moment and he is also behind some turntables between berlin and new york, representing his own definition of music

2009 was a great year for these days records, and 2010 promises to be even better. the platform stood out for its innovative yet functional club sound and unique artwork concepts. the new year begins with a new split series under the name universal consciousness, based on the idea of connection between all things, and that all things have been coordinated, and they combine to make up the same universe. the first part is dedicated to two very different takes on spiritual, cosmic space techno. on the a-side argys >sometimes im blind< generates a long and uplifting emotional climax, which features a solo that will forever stay in your heart. the track was recorded at the end of 2008, and despite numerous offers to release the record elsewhere, nothing was finalised and the recording never saw the light of day. soon after the birth of his own label, it naturally fit the platform and seemed a perfect way to start the new year. on the flip side, sheffield born alexander ross, brings forth a cavernous techno piece awash with reverberation and spacial echos that brings a driving yet non the less emotionally captivating moment perfectly in balance with the depth of the a-side.

deep a & biri have been involved in the tel aviv house scene for some time. with this 3 track ep plus digital bonus track they give their debut now.
>twisted tango< is the most stripped down of all three tracks and a real cool groover. one of these tracks that grow enormously with volume and space. these two guys have got a good vision of how dance music should be to clad the clubbers in cotton batting. their cool way of transmitting indifference has always been the carrier of sensuality and sexiness in entertainment and it does create a certain kind of peppermint stench here. the vocals stabs in this one work like dubby elements which deep a & biri drop like things dropping out of your pocket.
>mischievous< is a perfect bassline monster... deep and heavy with a genius >pam pam< vocal stab. we dont know where these samples come from but they are luscious as hell. welcome to the pleasure dome!
>hine gama< is as cool as the two other tracks but but a little more laissez-faire fair. we dont think that anybody will be able to resist this bright light brown colour it shows with all its reflections of intensive sunbeams shining in.
this release fits perfectly to the last release on trapez ltd.

plays by: hawtin, karotte, d.sanchez, osuna, carola, barem, villalobos
this fat house ep is done by the two german alex niggeman and superlounge. in some way it has the sound from way back! but this new/oldschool house groove is a real killer! with a massive io rmx!

the every day fight deep in the inner side of danjel esperanza is such a big antagonism. but its not only in himself, its his life, destiny and his music which he really lives out on his musically diary. and now with his first album ever!
no better place can it be than his label backdoor beauty to describe all the opposed feelings. the album contains nine very deep and soulful songs. deep bubbling pumpin basslines combined with spiritual singing vocals, instruments like violins, flutes, guitars and many more! all recorded together with sounds from outside which gives the unique athmospheric dubby touch and far horizons and it feels at the end like a very hypnotic trip.
inspired and influenced from so many music styles he found his own way in electronical acoustic sounding music to describe the antagonism in danjel esperanzas life and the world...which is like one happy eye and one sad eye....

adonis presents the invite by late invitation, three live tracks from a swiss band. its deep house in a nu-disco meets steppers kind of way. its just this side of metro area and that side of non-american bands paying tribute to a funky, soulful style in their own particular way.

after the critical and commercial success of art8, the resurgence of the legendary art label continues apace with the first release in a newly formed dance division series. signifying a shift towards more peak-time club material, the dance division series kicks off with the >swarm< ep. consisting of three tracks from label-owner kirk degiorgio. >swarm<, >a way of life< and >distant realm< cover the full-range of classic club-techno sonics, with a modern production edge that guarantees an extra punch on the dancefloor.

every year hundreds of thousands of dance records are being made and released. with the output from dance producers at an all-time high and with so many records crossing over it takes something a bit special to break-through from underground groover to worldwide mover. 2010 is the year of >sidney samson – riverside (lets go!)< on data records.
the facts above dont lie, this isnt just a dance record, its a dancefloor phenomenon and theres good reason for the comparisons with >day & night< by kid cudi vs. crookers and fedde le grands infamous >put your hands up for detroit<. its got exactly the same appeal and has had exactly the same effect, i.e. unstoppable support and praise from the coolest underground djs all the way up to the global superstar djs and via every european summer holiday resort. sidney samson is a name you simply cannot ignore right now.

upon yous first release of black gold in 2010 is a compilation shared by the cheapers, mathias mesteno, channel x and onno. the cheapers have given us a track that is slightly more technoide than what we have become used to, with an absolute bass beast called madame sans merci on a1. mr. mesteno has given us the second part of tante dunkel (once again paying homage to one of copenhagens most illustrious night creatures) with this house track. the first part was released on our last home sweet home compilation. after flipping the vinyl, b1 unveils channel xs last offering before releasing their debut album on stil vor talent”in the beginning of 2010, making us all the more pleased about this dependable club track. b2 is reserved for our dutch colleague onnos kicking tech house track that shows that upon you know how to start out the new year in the right way
