it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision

stacking up an intimidating amount of industry knowledge and skill between them, the spektre monster is storming from strength to strength, taking no prisoners… incl ahmet sendil/koen greoneveld mixes

played by karotte!!! his first release on leena music and old pal, falko brocksieper, jumps straight into the game, spinning heads into you-know-what with his new ep, >oblivion<. these two segments display brocksiepers attention to detail and clean cuts. its classical meets modernistic. >oblivion< is smooth in its nature adding a few tweaks, keys, plus a thumping baseline here and thereû mostly keeping it simple and real. a delightful treat for your feet. its b-side, >chemtrails<, is a melodic tool taking the baseline down a notch and pulling keys in and out of the background as subtle symbols and perfectly cut vocals weave in and out sounds of an evening dust. the digital bonus >breezer< will blow you away into an unknown world of modern electronica with hidden tweaks and minimal influence. former cologne scenemeister, falko brocksiepers leading edge producing skills have landed him recent releases on turning spork, treibstoff and, not to mention, his own thriving imprint, sub-static. the latest of his renderings, >heavy day<, came out after a long five years from his debut album release sweeping the club scene of its feet. of course its no secret that brocksiepers specialty is mixing his time capsuled goods into his new work

the first release by robin jacobs & martex, good rock dancin is a dirty freakin track full of wicked breaks and fx that rock the floor. the release also includes great remixes by john agora (material/ skript), ben ryser (weave) and kaufmann & ferdinand (kaufe musik). already supported by someone else, kaiserdisco...

with recent releases on emergence and token, grovskopa debuts for labrynth and hits the floor hard with treacher collins . re-processed percussion and rolling low end seem to cause sensory overload at every turn. the perfect floor tool. aa/ balamber sees grovskopa maintain the industrial focus, but heads further into darkness and despair. driving forwards relentlessly, a rolling sea of bass and mechanical abrasive tones force us to move and dance! b/ trademark michaelangelo sounds here on the 4/4, reminiscent of some of the mid 90 s synewave recs releases. sirius carves into an immense sonic landscape. chaotic and crackling high frequencies modulate and break up over our heads, while monotone subs meander and bounce with the kick. big room techno. big sound. quality. bb/ massive offbeat techno from telesthesia, a collaboration between michaelangelo & coefficient. complex rhythms continually weave throughout the track. the journey deconstructs and falls into darkness, re-emerging again into precision synths and digital modulations

first vinyl pressing of twin infinitives since the original vinyl issue in 1990. after moving to san francisco, royal trux released the highly experimental double album twin infinitives. this album remains an extreme work on the periphery of rock music, worthy of being compared to lou reeds metal machine music and suicides debut album. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high brow allusions, twin infinitives nearly reeks of vice, a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery.

the third installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series is a showcase for two standout songs off their album stars of zoo. >sf< is a throwback to classic house tracks, with a modern twist - a playground full of joyous children have invaded its sly, bongo-laden grooves. yet these precocious youngsters are only part of the story – the beats insistent and ever-changing swing never lets up for more than a couple of moments. >2< is more ominous but no less effective. its primary percussion enters like springs filling up an echo chamber, gradually morphing into several competing themes that weave together throughout the track. 2s bass is a serious force, creating a physical presence that must be heard on a large system to be believed!

gideon is very well known for promoting his anticlub- parties in his hometown eindhoven and around the netherlands. he released a hell of 12”es on his own label lessismorerecordings, but also releases on other labels like “rebecca loos” on weave music (under alexis tyrel) or just recently “all day all night“ on sino, hong kong. after his 2 pre-lauches on kanzleramt “first impression” (ka141) & “last depression” (ka143), heiko laux picked the tracks for this full length album out of 2000 demo-skits of gideon

ray valioso (aka swiss producer agnès) returns to real soon with the 4-track particles e.p. on the title track particles, ray uses a moog-like synth part and a treated rhodes piano to weave a hypnotic melody that drifts in and out of focus over a clatter of loose, live percussion and distorted voices. on tocar te, basic house maniobras and groove memories, ray is in less experimental territory and turns in three quality pieces of warm, percussive, luxurious deep house. this is ray valiosos second full release, following up on his well-received einladung e.p. (real soon, 2006) - featuring the excellent >get the strings?< - and his recent appearance on the deep vibes recordings compilation >in the streets<.

after the extremely successful filmmusik ep on rompecabeza, holgi star is back with >not for me<. the ep consists of two tracks with technoid crossover potential! on >not for me< bits of african vocals meet functional techno and seamlessly weave together into a quite sexy and rather danceable number. all the while >dont feel it< coolly, calmly, and with just enough repetition, establishes its class and style without unneeded flourishes. both tracks were extensively tested by the rompe crew at sonar 2008 in barcelona, and reactions spoke of the potential both of the artist and the ep itself!!!

with this deft , elegant weave of selected vocal cuts and deep yet undeniably driving melody ricky l creates a unique form of pure, stylish house that takes a recognisable pop aesthetic and remodels it for the soulful, sophisticated dancefloor

ethereal, sultry aspects of the vocal weave around, slide beneath, blade sharp stabs, crawling bassline, & sparse to frenetic kickdrums. 1 sided in hand stamped!!!

the sword is a colossal, high energy powerhouse. utilizing a potent combination of intense songwriting chemistry, eye opening creativity and talent and a distinctly unique vision, the sword is, without question, one of heavy musics most electrifying new bands. more ambitious, more accomplished and simply bigger, gods of the earths huge, mountaintop friendly hooks, thunderous drumming and oceanic bass lines cut through the air like a scythe, while the ominous vocals of frontman j.d. cronise weave fantastical tales rife with myth and mythology. waves of powerful riffs and low end thunder dominate songs. this is a must for fans of all things heavy!

rosselot & ferrante are one of the leading producers of south america and their work for labels like weave have left marks on the circuit. here we go now with a 3-tracker full of groovy basslines, herb sounds, rolling hihats and cute bassdrums.
