hot on the heels of the prins thomas mixes come these wigged out house versions from parisian franck roger, plus the original and legendary >la stache< mix. franck roger is carving out a great reputation on the house scene at the moment, his releases on his own real tone records have set the benchmark for other productions on sonar kollektiv/innervisions, seasons recordings and kenlou records, as well as remixes of blaze, roy ayers and jazztronic. franck opts for a sophisticated house rework of >moustache<, its techy moments peeking in and out of the rattling percussion, with oodles of funk layered on top. the >la stache< original mix from blackjoy is included on this release also, a huge underground cut with the nu-disco/balearic/cosmic crowd on its first release on bob sinclar s yellow label last year, and still sounding just as vital today

few people have risen to dominate their chosen genre faster than john dahlback. sure, his father was a well-regarded musician in sweden and his brother jesper is one of the most respected names in the world of techno, but john has taken this jump start and used it to lap the field many times over. for wow recodings, he is remixing >opposite sides< the last track of world famous resident dj of amnesia ibiza : dj mar-t

this ep is played by: karotte, tobi neumann, thomas schumacher, afrilounge and more . on a side a experimental oriental guitar track, for friends of ricardo villalobos or luciano. on the flip well known artist nick curly from mannheim/frankfurt produced a tricky minimal tune together with another new artist called reclick. triplet bassline and a catchy melo at the end let the track roll and come to a nice final

>für den garten< is perfect for the peaktime on minimal dancefloors. its huge, jittery riff in addition to cleverly crafted beats and well arranged drops definitely deliver every time. >(nichts) für den garten<, on the other hand, shows the duo from a more comtemplative, spaced out side. this track is the perfect soundtrack for gliding into blissed out mornings. we are chuffed to work with this very talented outfit and are already looking forward to releasing more of their lovely tunes. played by karotte

behind the new release on haiti groove rec are the 2 well known german dj s / producer s toby montana and thomas gold. just to name a few highlights of the 29-years old toby montana, with releases on the label selected works, remix for steve angello and productions together with the german newcomer lützenkirchen. in addition to montana there is the second produce thomas gold, also well known under his pseudonym level k, releases on spain s number 1 house label >vendetta<, dj antoine s label >houseworks<, and remixes for international superstars like roger sanchez and ian carey made him to a big name in the music biz

new born label hertz records, sprung from the depths of scanian no-mans land, begins its crusade towards world domination with a release from detroit dutchman orlando voorn. the fix man genuinely delivers his best release in years, bringing the high energy funk as usual with two deadly dance floor killers. >enter< is a driving techno monster, with an old school detroit minimal groove akin to rob hoods productions on m-plant or even some of the more tame blacknation releases, updated with a modern freshness in voorns own unique style. but as this music does not translate well into words in our opinion, descriptions are useless until you hear it for yourself

the goal of nataural anthemes is to provide listeners with releases that are inspired by themes of sound. antheme 03: showcases the music of tokyo based artists ryo miyashita and hiragi(kazuki mochizuki). ryo and kazuki have contributed releases to well respected net labels unfoundsound and indigo magenta so their sound is welcomed by fans of both minimal and experimental aesthetics

pan-pot take on anja schneider & sebo k s hit >rancho relaxo<. the biggest success on mobilee so far is re-newed by mobilee s shooting stars. the pan-pot producer team claim there territories once again with a funky tune. this is not ponderosa - welcome to the black ranch.aa - gummihz take a scalpel to anja schneider s >addicted< gummi is well known for his talent to break musical rules and borders. his remix for mrs. schneider s >addicted< is laid back in a way but rollin and roll in and bouncin…

barcelona based artists davide squillace and swat squad have been active in the clubscene since years. they have released many vinyls on trapez as well as on labels like treibstoff and upcoming 12inch on josh winks label ovum . the two guys rock the 38 release on resopal and continue its journey to musical salvation and new heights. with their own interpretation of minimalism, davide squillace and swat squad are the choice of the moment... surely generating amounts of positive response and support from world renowned djs

playmaker, know for his releases and remixes on labels such as stoneyboy, illegal beats, slip n slide, subliminal and prog city to name a few, and many compilations such as ministry of sounds clubbers guide. on the a-side you will find the pierre j & subway baby remix, (defected, fluential, saw, deeplay, invent) and they have been adding the well-known arrangement that does the trick! the other side gives you the original work of playmaker. this doesnt need any introduction to his fans

>the rhytm composer< is a well worked track with a lot of surprieces. old school electro sounds blended with analogue elements. >hooked on a g-string< has been played live a lot during the last few weeks, and has always been the park point of mikaels live sets. a great shuffley track with a strong moog loop that change its caracter throughout the song...

floor orientated electro tech compilation with huge & well known tracks and remixes by yoshimoto (trentemoeller rmx), marc romboy vs stephan bodzin, l.y.t.z., coburn (jean claude ades rmx), lars sommerfeld, lindstrom (m.a.n.d.y. rmx) and mathew jonson !!!!

remember the infamous scene from the movie deliverance? the one with the retarded kid and the grown man going all out in a play off, an acoustic guitar vs a banjo… anyway, lindstrom finally got around to play & record the banjo he bought in nyc last summer. it takes time to practise & learn to play the banjo. lindstrom needed a year to make the simple banjo-lick used on >the contemporary fix<, the 9th feedelity release. you might think the use of banjo, autoharp & clavinet together with acid squiggles on top of live disco-drums is a most unusual combination? well, here s the soundtrack to deliverance 2006

amnesia resident paco osasuna shells out another gloomy minimal, kicking double-header proving he s well versed in the art of moving butts. the aplty titled >move< pulls his pressure from the distorted whipping snare rolls that frantically step tumble all over the clicking beat. on the flip paco injects some funk with a short, dangling guitar lick stabbing into a busy beats, a growling bassline and nervously shuffling beats. dj support: dj t (get physical): >a1 is nice moody, it s in my case.<, laurent garnier: >nice funky a side. will play it out! <, tobi neumann: >fette techno nummer, sexy und hart. full support!<

frankie comes back with 4 minimal funky house tracks with this typical >dry< style using just a few sounds elements ( cuts of voices and short sounds) and a fxs…as well inpredictable and groovy. ep already played by dan bell, troy pierce, john tejada, jeff samuel, todd sines,…specially the dbx-influenced tweaky noise stomper titled hunt (a1)

well, well, well… d.classics returns again to spread the funky good news… whatever you want to call funky: sometime pure funk, sometime heavy soul, sometime discofied, sometime electro-ish, even sometime 80s… but sure its funky ! so here we are, on a journey proposed by non-else than parisian sensation dj almost. after years (and we mean yearsss) of heavy activism behind the wheels of steel, almost agreed to share with the world some of his own heaviest re-edits. a side, get straight to the core of two of his 80s fave, stripping them down to the clubiest, most mixable parts. boy! how deep are those bass & beats? perfect peak hour, decerning crowd s dancefloors! b side lurks more into the p-funk direction, with a huge classic winner, full of moog-ish bassline, female choir background voices, and deep dark male gimmicks. well, 3 more classics brought back to you by the dclassics posse

following two massive releases featuring the beatnuts and sway, both of which picked up daytime plays on radio 1 as well as being hammered by pete tong, zane lowe, james hyman, annie mac and annie nightingale, the stantons are keeping up the pressure and unleashing another slab of breakbeat badness on the masses

great house anthem featuring samples from well known 80s artists. just listen

repeat orchestra (aka stefan schwander aka antonelli electr., rhythm maker, one half of the duo swimmingpool as well as being behind >a rocket in dub<) returns with another 12inch in his purest form of his electronic soul, based around live-performances, orchestral instrumentations and deep house. in a post-modern manner, the >asafa chords ep< operates differently as opposed to the standard sampling clichès of standard house-tunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. the two pieces follow a minimal yet above the norm musical approach, with tricky and advanced rhythms and a strong groove that lets the listener dive deeper into the world of a one-man-band, who likes to express his version of afro-futuristic housemusic by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and lots more of his personal flavour into his production. . the result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor that will guaranteed stand out from the rest.

mobilee is on >back to back< mission and presents the first release of a four-piece vinyl remix series including eight exclusive in-house remixes. a - sebo k reworks gummihz s >isolate<. he just took the essential >rave signal<, modified the groove and added some spezial effects. the most reduced sebo k production so far. aa - prosumer gets the upper hand on sebo k, recreating the latter s >moved (featuring prosumer)< in prosumer s own image. and you thought dude was just a singer - think again. >think again< might as well be mobilee s motto, for the way the label lays bare the skeleton of rave music—and the way it amplifies berlin minimal into something throbbing, overwhelming, all-consuming. watch your back: mobilee is coming up from behind, and back to back is the rearview image of the shape of rave to come

harrison crump bounces back with deeper, a full on gospel tinged song featuring dajae on vocals. driving rhythms with 80s percussive licks, along with lush strings, brass swells and a piano breakdown, propel a gritty sounding dajae to new heights, lifting you up on a warm feeling of well being. funk monkeys supply the remix, getting a tad tribal and freaky as they go in search of the k hole

think pro skateboarder, think renowned graffiti artist & think pure lyricist, and you barley scuff he complex surface to even begin to understand the one they call >bukue one<. living in sunny state california, bukue one is some what of a hero and well received thought the us for his emceee performances…

chupacabra is the new project of arno voelker and miguel ayala (known from precision & art of rollin). during their work at the freebase record shop both have developed a strong passion for house music and so they started releasing in that genre as well. here comes the first 3 tracker on raummusik with finest deep minimal techhouse and a federico molinari remix

new kanada follows up adam marshalls >black snow ep< (nk01) with a killer set of remixes from the hottest canadian talent this side of berlin. the a-side is a seriously advanced workout of minimal funk from cynosures mike shannon, who remixes >black snow< into a stripped-down house groove. on the b-side, we have jeremy p. caulfields treatment of >mission<, which continues into the dark and precise mood set up so well on his dumb-unit imprint. ending things on b2 is j. hunsbergers delicate and beautiful rework of >hot spring<. jay spices things up a little with vocal snippets and rocked-out drums, and hints at the sounds he just unleashed on steve bugs audiomatique label<

after a long time friendship and countless over-the-top partycrashes together, we are very happy to welcome our friend and one of our fave djs, mr. jens bond on highgrade. after his vinyl debut with guido schneider on steve bugs pokerflat recordings last year this is jens bond s second record to hit the streets. jens, who managed to establish himself as one of the true top djs within the berlin house scene, delivers a 12inch which represents his musical (and spinning) style of electronic dancemusic very well - dry, compulsive grooves, a very minimal-housy structure with deep aesthetics, perfect sound design and an overall superb float between the hard and the soft, exactly what we wanted from this guy and more!

this 12 kicks off with jam 2 tha mother,a track that has been doing the rounds for a while as a westpark unit track apparently. its a fairly nice hiphouse bumper.its all about miles though. the looped piano sample works wonderfully well with the straight deep disco beats. and while the original is good, the soulphiction remix is the icing on the cake. they give it a certain industrial/techy edge, and make the sample stand out even better. add to that some dope detroit beatdown bass licks and beats, and you ve got yourself a catchy tune

limited repress of this classic tracks from joey beltram feat energy flash, mentasm and other well know beltram tunes !!!

c.i.t. is the newest project of lars wickinger from berlin and michael skelton from hamburg !! the >tomboy ep< is an incredible cocktail of rough techhouse, raw basslines and thumping beats. there are sweet poptunes and funk as well as highend sounds and underground techno !!!

well this little gem has been floating about since late last summer and thankfully will be getting a proper 12 release very soon. balearic disco heaven much along the lines of reverso 68, it comes across like indeep and chris rea in the blender together with it’s driving guitar licks, the unhurried walkin bassline and the soft kalimba touches. bound for big things this late summer and hopefully golden autumn too. theres the added bonus of a mudd remix of the b side track slow burning. i promise you folks its been worth the wait

anders trentemøller, the shooting star of 2005, needs no further introduction. he has been stringing together hit after hit, most recently the -nam nam ep- on poker flat which offered an initial insight into his upcoming album -the last resort-. now the new 12- brings the first full-blown single outtake. the featured album track is -always something better – a vocal version featuring richard davis - and has a calmer, almost dreamy mood compared to the club tracks he s released. an easy-going groove, some wonderful celesta chords (hand-played by anders) and the typical trentemøller sound melt with the outstanding vocals by richard davis, who already graced swayzak s -speak easy- on k7. furthermore, davis is known for his longplayers on punkt musik and kitty-yo as well as an array of singles and remixes.a brilliant track with a beautiful atmosphere.of course the a1 slot is reserved for the -trentemøller remix-, a true dancefloor anthem. a kicking bass drum, quirky sounds and the -trentemøller twist- make this a real summer hit. while the a1 mix is a reduced vocal version, you ll find the -dub mix- on b1. to top things off, the one and only matthew herbert contributes his very own interpretation on the -bubble mix-. he disrupts and rearranges the original sounds and song structures to create a new unsettled, but fascinating soundscape
