party breaks unabashedly shows its colors with 4 new brilliant marcos cabral edits. with samples ranging from boogie, to piano house, to a beefed up disco ballad, marcos layers sounds and phrases in an effortless manor for major effect. sometimes robin s will peak through, sometimes bob-a-rella…all within a strict drum machine groove. all the tracks were clearly built with the dj in mind, repetitive when wanting to hypnotize, and pop when wanting to catch listeners.

hailing from ireland, wicklow and dublin to be precise, solar bears are john kowalski and rian trench, the sole producers and musicians on the album >she was coloured in<. they met and formed at pulse sound engineering school, started recording and were swiftly picked up by planet mu. the album follows in the wake of expectation laid down by their recent >inner sunshine ep< and a series of remixes.

one year after his debut album on dial records cofounder pawel is back with a surprisingly fantastic remix package. patrice scott the shooting star of detroits house scene drops a version of crillon which represents the magic sound of his beloved sistrum label. osunlade the one and only yoruba soul priest into house music is one of the big influences of pawel and his label mates. and he is deeply in love with the dial sound himself! offering a remix which is already now a bright star supported by house masters like little louie vega is a miracle to be true! last but not least john roberts comes up with a version of kramnik to raise the origin to another level. this tune is so sweet and special as if we all were waiting for it. happy new year has just begun..

greg wilson dips into the vaults and reworks two tracks from the pre-disco era of funk & soul on his latest ruff edits release. willie hendersons the dance master (1973) and happiness is just around the bend by the main ingredient (1974) were both cult favourites with black music aficionados way way back in the day, even before greg started deejaying in the clubs first time around. greg originally extended these tracks for his vintage future retro mix earlier this year, before he began to play them out as ruffs

big with: luciano, loco dice, anja schneider, dubfire, laurent garnier, d julz, daniel sanchez, ryan crosson, simon baker, karotte, mathias kaden, danny tenaglia, stephan bodzin, coyu, tim green, julien chaptal, .. jay hazes bearly legal ep was such a success, but with just two tracks, our circle of producer and dj friends were asking us why we didnt release any mixes! well, ask and you shall receive... >no need for loops< was the original eps b-side, but with positive feedback and play from ewan pearson and ellen allien, weve decided this time to let it have the glory of a-side status with a top-notch rework from ilario alicante (cécille, tenax) who combines a busy, pulsating rhythm with the lulling undercurrent of melody for a hypnotic effect. >take your hat off< gets the remix treatment in the hands of several adept producers: first shaun reeves (wolf + lamb) and duo tale of us (barraca music) team up for a sly, seductive version, while amam label boss alessio mereu offers a punchy, revved up take to give the 12inch some welcome contrast.

>3.652 tage< : the track a day originated after my 10-year-old djs jubilee. from the mood of the eve, there originated thus the acoustics-percussion beat with emitter surfaces. >zeitfenster< : this track with miguel aka electric gloss, to a friend from portugal produced. he has visited me for two days in frankfurt, meanwhile we were diligent in the studio. the sound capes remind me of a typical summer thunderstorm. >eureka< : this number has something incredible for me. a kind of space-electro with quite futuristic melody. if somewhat is inspired by the film barbarella. unambiguously one of my favourites on the album.

lol is a bit of an unusual project, its just a thing in its own right, its not for anything or anyone in particular, its just an lp made by three bored people who like music that sounds like it did before the advent of the internet. the project was recorded in the bedroom of a warehouse conversion in hackney wick (bedrooms can be incredibly creative spaces, seeing as most of us were conceived in one). they wrote about self-obsession, social anxiety, drug abuse, and failed relationships using pre-21st century recording devices such as vhs tape, 70s valve microphones, analogue synths, cheap argos catalogue guitars, and 80s drum machines.

following the critically acclaimed debut-release of bob bhamras west norwood cassette library alias teal recordings presents blonde on blonde as its seminal release. this one is surely ment for the dancefloor: an addictive bassline, and a stomping house beat executed as were it a hidden gem dug out in a new york pawnshop. the ubiquitous ramadanman hits the flipside under his pearson sound monkier, with a rehash of blonde on blonde, with subtle references to the original version david kennedy takes the remix to quite different, but equally interesting, places. lush early morning vibes! - a must have! support from, untold, 2562, ben ufo, shortstuff, mosca, pariah.

das niederländische duo tj kong & nuno dos santos setzt seine suche nach dem perfekten house-groove fort. diese ep auf compost black label enthält remixe zweier tracks ihres im sommer erschienenen albums >after dark, my sweet<. kirk degiorgio verwandelt >where were you< (vocals: robert owens) in einen warmen deep techno track. außerdem enthalten ist ein unwerfend guter mix des amsterdamer newcomers melo

a stunner like this, deserves the highest quality of remixers. we are very proud that steve rachmad and estroe were keen to do the job and boy did they deliver inspiring and original takes on the original.. wolfskuil says goodbye to 2010 with a bang!

mitzi are a 4 piece of awesomeness made up of dominiqe bird, jad lee, charlie murdoch and cale suesskow. they all hail from australias most laidback and sunny city brisbane. some people call it brisvegas because its sexy too. after playing in various killer bands such as bmx (2009 unearthed parklife winners), comic sans (2010 unearthed st jeromes laneway festival winners), charlie why! (recent bang gang 12 inches signing) and the gallery kiss all the dudes have united to create some genuinely exciting australian music. the three tunes on >all i heard< fuse the sounds of garage disco, nyc indie and the light heartedness of australian pop. jono ma (lost valentinos, tracy thorn, teenagers in tokyo) mixed the record at ewan pearsons studio in berlin and made all those trumpets, snares, keys, whispers and vocals sound ridiculously tight. future classics history has always been rooted in bands and were pretty stocked to be getting back into it. plus its our 50th release!

the third instalment of the bitches brew limited 10-inch series is the darkstarr remix and darkstarr dub of >dont do it< by salvador santana. the 10-inch is designed and hand-printed by artist james morrison so that each record is unique. salvador santana is a hip hop / soul singer / songwriter / keyboardist and is also the son of carlos santana. his debut album >keyboard city< saw contributions from bay area legends such as del the funky homosapien, gza of wu-tang clan and beastie boy studio wizard money mark who also co-wrote >dont do it<. the darkstarr production duo of ashley beedle and cosmo were asked to do a remix and bitches brew has released the results on vinyl on this special 10-inch series. their darkstarr mixes have received big support from musical selectors as diverse as the lofts david mancuso all the way to shit robot.

here we go again! driving forces recordings is proud to announce another great release by our friends chris hope & andre walter, who again shared forces to create 2 pure and evil techno tracks. the original version of >i take< is a super long & hypnotic tune with great and endless rising synths. this is pure peaktime madness for crowded club nights.
the remix comes from nobody less than naples uprising superstar sasha carassi. with releases supported by the ones like adam beyer, alan fitzpatrick, joseph capriati, len faki and countless others, sasha stands for quality in every respect. no question that he delivered a real bomb here too in his very special & unique trademark big room style.
>collateral damage< is another brutal piece of music in the typical way only andre walter is able to do. with all its rawness this track perfectly reminds on his early days and works with frankfurt based technolegend chris liebing. this is simply sick! be aware!all tracks were heavy road tested for months now and are 100% club smashers for sure!

ltd blue vinyl repress! this is what we were waiting for... 7 dirty, jacking & stomping yet warm & deep acidic analog jam-attacks from the the hague sewers only mr. smackos can deliver. served on two 12 dishes, monster release!

earlier this year they got together at martins studio in derby to create this classic deep house number. the parts were then taken to their respective studios to create their own versions. freds mix has a more straight forward vibe to it while martin takes things to the deep end, adding dub elements to the mix.

jeremy duffy (duffstep) brings us back to the deep, the spacey, the atmospheric, the groove. imagine blockheads, fly los, fingathings, mount kimbies and von ds sound, slightly reduce the beat to the soulful side, add synths and mid/heavy weighted bass and your almost there. as well as releasing music on his own label, join the dots, duffstep sent a copy of his demos to electric minds and after hearing >close< we immediately got in touch to sign the single. the track is one of the most powerful productions were heard this year and proved its worth when we heard it played as part of duffsteps av show on cargos huge system. big beats with a huge bass line, close is a powerful track that crosses the border of house and dubstep. to compliment the track we commissioned hreno & the mole to provide their take with a stripped back house version. in addition yam who also steps up for remix duties providing a killer boogie track. touching dub step , house and boogie the 12inch provides 3 sounds from the different corners of todays dance music scene.

2010 repress ! paul ritch and his quartz music label return with a very special treat! the first release on quartz was pauls own >split ep<. the response to the music on this ep was incredible. not only from specialists, but also from the public. how do you improve on the package? well, draft in one of the biggest names in world of techno to not only provide a remix, but take the two biggest tracks from the release, combine them, and remix the mutant off-spring. indeed! this is just what dubfire has done. taking >walk the line< and >split<, melting them together, and then reworking them to provide what will, from now, and forever more, be known as.... the >split the line - dubfire mega remix.< 2008 proved to be a wonderful year for dubfire. his releases and remixes filled the top spots in many end of year charts. no more than they deserved. his >dios< & >diablo< tracks alongside oiiver huntemann were instant smashes, and his remixes took him to a whole new level. radio slaves >grindhouse<, minologues >jamaica<, gregor treshers >a thousand nights< & booka shades >charlotte< all received the dubfire treatment, and all, went on to be smash hits. 2009 is set to be even bigger and better for everyone involved in this e.p.. is that possible? just watch this space!

mzo bullets track >casablanca< has become a sought after underground classic over the last 18 months, so when it landed here as part of our township funk compilation album we thought we would do it justice and give it a full vinyl release. as our friends hot city were jumping around to it when they heard it, we decided to let them loose on the remix. already picking up plays from benji b over at radio 1 plus dj support from the likes of diplo, kissy sellout, doorly and andy george.

we would like to say it was all part of a big bombastic plan… the biggest selling bearfunk artist, a top song, the prague philharmonic, 40 piece strings and some great remixes all to celebrate bearfunks 50th release, but alas, it was not! bfk050 is actually the 67th single release on bearfunk. the strings were done in the lunch-break downtime of a session in prague with strings-chappie, john bryan. make good music and occasionally, just occasionally, good things happen to you! so the knife-edge karma of indie record labels flows.

the third in a series on theory featuring previously unreleased tracks that have been doing damage on the floors around the globe in sets from a select few djs, plus 2 remixes that were digital only now see vinyl action.
from the seriously intense remix of dj t-1000s classic to the heavy acid house rework of tim baker, this ep is peak time material, tried and tested tough club cuts that we are happy to finally release. enjoy!
dj support from: ben sims, paul mac, dave clarke, christian smith and more

hailing from the free swinging hills of san francisco, established dj and producer alland byallo has created his own unique sound out of a love for deep, soulful house combined with more edgy techno moments. from his own successful nightlight label he has released a quality catalogue including his debut artist album last year. of course it was only a matter of time until his talents were noticed by poker flat boss steve bug, and the results are this briliant 2 tracker, which also marks alland‘s arrival in his new home of berlin. welcome to town mr byallo! ‚discovaries‘ has a healthy amount of berlin‘s reduced techno affinity rooted within its phasing, growing p-funk waves. tense, moody and of course drenched with attention to detail, this is a grower in the true poker flat style. the sunken, murkier undertones of ‚shipwrecked‘ begin as a darker moment in techno, however gradually unfold and surface into a shining, tripped out afterhours anthem.

the most favourite of italian producers, bottin, returns with an old project. tinpong is a collaboration between bottin and swiss singer joy freypong. these tasty masters were just gathering dust on an old hard disc in venice but when we heard them we just had to get these gems out there.
the first of the tinpong material is a cover version of a duran duran classic. set dials to 1982, >new religion< is of course one of the standout tracks from the classic >rio< album.

with exclusive tracks from oskar offermann, edward, moomin, tristen & jason... watch out! the latest release from white features the innercircle among the berlin-based label. people like oskar offermann and edward might have become the figureheads of the white label sound. but there are also producers like tristen or moomin, who were very successfull with only a few releases out. or mr. >jason< who has been a part of the label family for years, organizing parties together with oskar and who debuts on the label with his beautiful track >linger on<. a real family thing for sure, and so it makes perfect sense, that all of these guys will play together with dj jus-ed at their labelparty >white sparkle in her eyes< at horst krzbrg / berlin on dec 3rd

based in buenos aires, toomy disco (real name mariano iliuta) represents another success story in the rise of bedroom electronica in recent years. the full album and the tracks here on age of the jaguar ep were recorded entirely at marianos home with relatively basic computer software and, while he is still only 22 years old, the resulting music is every bit as compelling as contemporaneous efforts from like-minded electronic artists daft punk, mylo, mstrkrft, alan braxe and tensnake. age of the jaguar helps to cement toomys status as a leading light in the next generation.

kelley stoltz, now a veritable godfather to the burgeoning san francisco under/over-ground (folks like thee oh sees, sonny & the sunsets, the fresh & onlys), has blazed a path since the late 90s as a home-recording guru and multi-instrumentalist. and, while stoltzs nigh-religious reverence for all things beatles, beach boys and kinks has been at the fore on recent albums below the branches, sub pop) and circular sounds, sub pop), his new album, to dreamers, blends a bit more post-punk abandon into its layered everyman pop. this new album maintains the kaleidoscopic core of sounds heard on kelleys previous records, while making inroads into new sonic terrains.

4 selected tracks have made it onto the black gold, even were loving each tune like a mother loves her umh.. eight children. mathias kaden presents a 2010 edit of his first ever solo release ‚circle pit (va004!), followed by dewaltas deep but yet bouncing stinger bell string experience. on the flip, this ep opens up with nico purmans ‚xpress yourself which lands somewhere between rick james and francois k, followed by alex smokes freaky ‚i-73 night which, to quote vakant pal tolga fidan, is a reminder of how dance music should have been if it hadnt gone generic…its punk.

after his >bare feet< ep dropped out of the blue last summer, max has been delivering track after track to the ramp offices. so dumbfounded we were at the utter breathtaking beauty of this music, that we have no words to describe it. with that in mind, we hand you over to the man himself – maxmillion dunbar.

on the back of shakes retrospective frictionalism 1994-2009 compilation, we have asked some producers from the new generation who were influenced by shakes music one way or another to remix his music. since shakes catalogue is such a diverse one, we looked different directions for remixers. the first 12 embodies the whole new beat scene (dubstep, future house, wonky, what do we call it these days). faltydl is on fire lately so we asked him to remix assimilated. the result is an up tempo stepper that both offers a look into the past as well as into the future. banging business. next up is space dimension controller. this uk young buck has been surprising many with his first few releases and remixes over the last year. he transforms the down tempo detroit state of mind into a mid tempo techno-soul affair that will have you grooving all the way through. second part will feature the new techno generation with mixes from mrsk and skudge

this outstanding piece from jackie misfit, london based deejay, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist presents a harmonic collision between primal africa and western culture. complex in its structure, based on polyphonic singing technique called jodel and articulated together with the dance, pigmy music has much in common with contemporary dance music. the concept was to create the impression that the instruments were played by the tribe to give the impression of being around them. to gain that, jackie used a variety of drums, whistles, harps, instruments built of coconut shells, animal skins and sanza wood by pigmies and vocals recorded in congo rainforest during the tribal rituals. its crafted in the western manner but the inspiration. basic repetitive patterns, vocals and instruments used in this production are original. together with the title that translates as the community of love, and works as homage to the humanitarian organization in congo that is focused on preserving pygmies and their culture.

released on the always reliable hit farm neon gold, which has given the world marina & the diamonds, ellie goulding, your twenties and penguin prison among others, starsmith is a super-hip young producer who has worked with ellie on her album, as well as remixing marina, passion pit, nerd and loads of others. its a scorching electro-tinged pop demon, glam without the cheese, and reminiscent of the kind of smashes that the french house lords of the mid 90s (like fred falke and alan braxe - more on him later...) were ruling dance music with. great sample from an old ritchie family (clip below...) disco stomper from the 80s which powers the whole thing with a undeniable hands-in-the-air vibe. a big autumn hit!

roel funcken, one half of dutch electronica duo funckarma, delivers the >daze flextone ep<, his solo debut for eat concrete records. these four tracks highlight the latest take on his dubstep-fused electronica experiments. the result is energetic, original and extremely heavy. three of these tracks were previously released on cd only thru berlins ad noiseam but we couldnt resist putting it on vinyl for obvious reasons. extra track is a funcken remix of a track by dutchman krampfhaft, watch out for more!

missing days and that ghost built the foundation for stefan goldmanns steady grip on todays state of the art in electronic music. both tracks were produced in 2001 and became the key works of his early years.
