hum along is one of the earliest productions of mr. mwambe. he started the track in the beginning of 2004 and for the last 4 years it has always been a very important and personal part of his life. only brontosaurus intelligence & ca$h were able to get this masterwork for this lickyboom- boom-down house 12. to complete the commotion full time nice guy, father and electronic innovator move d from the beautiful city of heidelberg sat down to deliver a spontaneous disco version of the track – reanimating the fresh and impro vibe of late 90ies german disco / house productions. the b-side >greatest love< continues where artos mudhutma 12 ends, celebrating the unholy passion of deep housemusic. voila.. a limited number of covers will be hand-printed with another nice torso. as always.

this project was born of the american culture of consumption. field recordings were made in metropolitan shopping centers during the united states holiday season. conversations drifted into ambient sounds of money being spent, commerce being transacted. the results of these recordings were then sent to artists to be turned into music

back in march 07, drag city issued rtxs second ball busting album, under a title that we all really loved and you did too. but the man! the man came down on them, telling drag city that in a court of law the album with that title would be struck down and that they must cease and rethink. thusly armed, drag city went to rtx and told them that a rebirth was at hand. fortunately, they were up for the change - and ratx is the inevitable result! containing the exact same contents as its former self, ratx has the additional benefit of being released in a super limited vinyl edition.

this selection is based on over two decades of deep dj experiences. the impact of seeing jazz dancer, michael knot of idj, dancing to acid trax by phuture, in the back room of a pub in teddington, produced one of those seminal moments that, gilles maintains, radically changed his view of acid house. it is important to say that this is certainly not a club album as some of the predecessors in this series have been.

remixed by whitenoise, knightlife & zzz last time i wrote about the bag raiders fun punch i went on some rant about me being in ibiza, on the floor in the main room at pacha, listening to erick more morillo play filtered french house, i had my hand s the air, the lasers were in full effect, the italian girls were looking fine and my ecstasy was working overtime. i declared that it would of been the best song of the nite, a song so great that you would of bathed in ericks sweat and wouldn t feel at all weird about it at all. now after caning this every set all over the world in the last 6 months i take it back. all of it

cool solid 3 tracker by lützenkirchen !! the production dream team oliver koletzki and florian meindl have managed to convince south german techno mastermind lützenkirchen for the latest single on their collective flash recordings imprint. and how right they were! this release is most definitely among the strongest flash records so far and sets the tone for forthcoming releases. lützenkirchen, who has already released his own productions as well as tons of remixes on labels such as craft music, royal flush, polydor, ministry of sound or his home base great stuff

vendetta makes a few heads turn with a stunning new ep from the hands of one of the most fierce producers around. greg notill has previously released on labels like carnage, cannibal society and definition of mayhem. many of his tracks were also licensed to hard techno compilations like essential hardtechno 2.0, hardtechno vol. 3 and the recently appeared hannibal lp 01

fuck the world and go all in! fuck the world definitely has to be this new labels first output to cause some major attention right from the start and it worked: its hammered by no less such figures than maniax (moonbootique), azzido da bass (luscious sounds), roman salzger (joia/opaque), wollion (fullscale/blufin), tim le el (scream & shout), tapesh (tribebouse/3001), lars sommerfeld (two faces/fumakilla), toby montana (selected works) and juliet sikora (opaque). tube & berger have made themselves a name in the international dance business many years ago and together with ante perry they were responsible for the incredibly successful hit single der urknall earlier in 2007. now the guys have managed to get no less than electroferris (formerly known as ferris mc) on board to produce a pure dance floor bomb that will cause absolute escalation wherever played.

on remix duties this time we have the mighty drumsound & bassline smith combo. the original was screaming out for a d&b rework and we were more than stoked when they agreed to treat it. they extract the essence of what makes the original so good, making it their own stepping up a gear from 128 to 160bpm and into the future.

incl piemont rmx!! after the overwhelming initial outing by amir (bodymusic one) on suchtreflex, the fresh new hamburgian label signed none other than german minimal act lars wickinger, who already had a bunch of mind-blowing releases on reference labels like traum, opossum and liebe datail. lars, who describes his musical style as techno with a spirit from minimal and house, produced 2 extraordinary and modern sounding tech house tunes, which will definitely cause huge waves of response - so watch out! for even more musical variety, each with 2 remixes were added: the hamburg based producer duo piemont (mbf, hi freaks) reinterpreted >spooky farm< on the a1 and the very talented el carlitto (artminimal) of belgium remixed the flipside >quiche<!

mike parker and donato dozzy teamed up for the first time for this unprecedented and eccentric release called excavations ep. starting off with hiss, originally found in 2001, mike parker used his vintage tools to dig the surface of a designated area, reaching sub-harmonic and high frequency symphonies. the excavation continued as mike joined donato dozzy at the ruins of pompeii, with the discovery of fullonica di stephanus. the findings were mysterious

after his first release on flash recordings together with daso on the night express ep, pawas is now back with his very own three-track ep on the label of koletzki & meindl. all tracks were created in pune in india, pawas’ hometown, and the ep is about three different characters. alicia, charlie and edward. each one of them has a certain distinctive vibe about them: alicia is deep and eloquent, edward is more hectic and restless while charlie seems the funky and witty sort. in terms of music, edward is carried on a powerful, deep synthie melody, a big breathing bassline and some great percussive clicks and clacks that turn into a slightly ravey minimal burner later on in the tune. very hot! edward is a little lighter and is pushed forward by a great funky melody that creates the perfect after hour moment. imagine yourself on the beach when the sun is coming up. alicia on the a side is a deeper, more housy affair has a melodic, percussive and detroity appeal. pawas has managed to create a very fresh and unique signature sound and with releases on squonk, connaisseur and flash records, 2007 seems to be the year for him.

the story of steppah huntah is the story of two musicians - steven j, a bass player and oless t, a pianist, and a chance meeting at a strasbourg jazz club one autumn evening in 2002. the duo were soon inspired to work together to fuse their love for jazz, afrobeat & funk in the service of a new driven sound, powered by the seemingly endless possibilities offered by new computer technology. instinctively, the musicians looked west to the emerging beat and kind of jazz style, deeply influenced in their musical experimentation by pioneers such as incognito, talking loud label. remix made by japanese producer and dj whos made a name for himself worldwide in the last few years is mitsu the beats. that makes his beats very original & unique & not belonging to any one kind of music.

token recluse drop their 10th release and its the shit. controller 7 mixes up peter, bjorn & johns young folks with the temptations get ready. sounds like they were made for each other. plays from diplo and spankrock. flip over for ying yang twins vs kanos im ready. limited press of 500!

nice price deal !!! formed of s windett on vocals / guitar and arp on drums, the pyramids are the louder, heavier, seedier little brother of archie bronson outfit. the two members of the archie bronson outfit who, during the long sessions for their remarkable second album, derdang derdang, felt a craving to crank out some instantaneous, lightning in a bottle rock n roll. recorded in a rickety barn deep in the countryside on an old 16 track tape (the same one which recorded pj harveys dry), hunch your body, love somebody is a raw and edgy song about fucking and getting over someone, and a taster of whats to come from the bands self titled debut album, due for release later this year. the songs for their spirited, sulphorous debut were written in a single weekend, observing the pyramids hunger for the moment. the takes captured on the album were often the duos second or third run through the song in question. comes in special pyramid shaped vinyl

another bomb 3 tracker on siteholder !! pumpin minimal chicago techno to techhouse incl billy delessandro remix

nice price deal !!! freddy mas was previously featured on codek records and tigersushi. the arc ep features 4 new tracks that were entirely written and produced byfreddy mas. not sure how to file this music, but its somewhere between electro-rock-punk-funk-house..

slovenian based techno label eternal presents the second release. the first cut by sequan was a true success and many were asking for more. this follow up is a proper jaw-breaker with its nasty bass. these tracks slowly crawl up your spine and once they have reached you neck these are bound to rock your head from back to front like a true headbanger

zimmermann alias jens zimmermann aka tyrell corp. aka dj gargamel is constantly changing yet always the same: a damn good producer. from his early days when he whipped up tracks by culture beats and out of the ordinary into dancey frenzy with well-known german producer torsten fenslau, to his drum n bass-fuelled moments of technical innovation, jens has never been one to stand still. constantly reinventing hilmself, he always managed to keep things ticking, making him one of the most sought-after producers in the late eighties and throughout the nineties. now, in 2007, after years of noise research and sound sculpting, he is re-emerging as zimmermann which stands for >new german minimal sound<. after three much-celebrated releases, aptly called zimmermann #1, #2 and #3 on room recordings, which were severely hyped up by germany s house fraternity, and releases and remixes on boxersport, k2,and hifreaks as well as on harthouse mannheim, the future is looking bright for jens

as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

jose rodriguets last two releases were orientated to a more deep and minimal sound, his first solo release came out on blackout77 under the name of >celula ep< and gained the support of all top jocks from the minimal and electro clubbing scene and then he released alongside xpansul (leftroom, discos de lata...) an amazing electro-tech record on permissive records last year. now he is back to blackout77 with 2 big room minimal-electro anthems full on crispy beats, distortions and groovy basslines. the bside contains a strong, dark and very intense remix by larsson, courtesy of traum and b pitch control

wer auf pumpende beats und allgemeine duesternis steht ist hier genau richtig !! obendrauf gibts ein track vom cadenza act andomat3000/tip

support from claude von stroke, tiefschwarz, ricardo villalobos, laurent garnier, steve lawler, radioslave, sebo k, ripperton, misstress de funk (radio 1), kiki, xpress 2, guy gerber… this is the second part of the >three arches ep< from freak n chic and cocoon star david k. the deep and dub mixes were made with the afterparty in mind and centre around a low slung bassline, hypnotic groove and a tripped out melody. in david s words >this is one my favourite productions this year fusing the best elements of deep house and techno – i love to play these tracks<. samim ups the ante and delivers a killer club mix, adding a heavier bottom end and old skool riff whilst maintaining the dubby vibe of the original. one of his best mixes yet! an essential tsuba release.

supported by karotte, agoria , trickski , chris lake , audiofly . micky slim, lawrence. minilogue & trentemøller remixes! a great premiere on pineapple. klovn is not from iceland like all other pineapple artist, but these gusgus friends come from denmark with a hypnotic deep and slow track, perfect for the summer chill sessions. klovn is more of a hobby than a fulltime project for buda and krede. theyve rented a studio, stolen a sofa of the street, bought the computer and thats basically it. when they have the time, they meet up late hours to produce. klovns friends trentemøller and minilogue were easily convinced to add their remixes with minilogue doing their great minimal clubsound and trentemøller living his love for freaky chilling

promise land is a solid deep soulful groove created by koyla. the demo floated around the bombay itunes player for a few of weeks, we needed someone to tear this track up. we tried a couple of options it wasnt working this groove needed something killer. thats were good friend jrod indigo come into play, san fran neo soul singer decides to come into lovely vancouver to hang for a while at bombay studio hq, and thats were the story starts for this track. jrod writes and lays down his song and creates the promise land over koylas ripping hooks and players. everyone is diggin the direction, timmy comes in and throws in some backups, inhouse producers sean dimitrie and nav take all the parts and put together a b side. the awaaz mix takes the track into a late night bumping funky direction with ambient tripped out textures and hard detroit style chords. overall this is a classic style ep with a real organic disco avour, that will never die for us. koyla and jrod are true musicians and deserve the fullest respect in this genre.

so you know were partial to a pseudonym or two in the dubsided camp. so just to confuse things further we would like to introduce voodoo chilli aka herve aka count of monte cristal. with a remix from mustapha 3000, aka erol alkan, the banging title track >look what you done to me< is accompanied by two more knock-hard tracks on the ep

on the genre smashing what she wants, metrics productions have become more assured, as have the range of influences he brings into his music. inspired by everything from jacques le cont and daft punk to his obsession with bad 80s records and krautrock rhythms, metric chops up the beats n vocals here like if he were prince signed to ed banger. slamming tracks like oh percolate with ironic electro pop synths and brash hip hop attitude, while breakin hearts seduces with chunky guitar glitch given the trademark metric acid wash. the e.p.s cheeky power culminates in the title track, what she wants, a squelching dancefloor stormer whose chunky hooks bring rude rock intensity to electronic club thump

re-release of the 1995 classic album

the spatulacity crew is proud to present some more fresh talent with real time hand motions prime time man lotion ep! these two have been making major waves with blistering originals and remixes over the last year or so, and break ya neck and who got it are probably two of the hottest examples of what these guys are capable of. unbelievable studio trickery in the vein of spatula city label bosses the sound republic, rthm deliver funky grooves, dancefloor firestarters, and were without question one of the most talked about artists at this years wmc. this is only the beginning of what will surely be a long career for this nashville duo. chicagos sexual chocolate (of junky trunk records fame) delivers a nasty dubsided esque wobbly bassline stomper of a remix for break ya neck while the original funks, shuffles, and grooved its way in to the boxes of all of the underground heavy hitters with massive support from dj mes, the sound republic, diz, raoul belmans, justin martin, the inland knights, and more.

kat returns with dj only ze-edits of two tracks from the influential label that fused the parallel nyc dance and punk scenes to create a new sound that they aptly christened mutant disco. kid creole and material are the artists getting the once over from dj greg wilson, the oracle on this vital and misunderstood period in music. creole and the coconuts 1981 hit >im a wonderful thing, baby<. emphasising the driving piano and mid-tempo beats, >wonderful< is in safe hands with greg wilson in control. you have to move to this. on the flip we find materials >over and over< being edited by greg, putting the funk into jazz-funk. material were an early bill laswell project that delved deep into dancefloor-orientated jazz

following up the rem release by luna city express feat. diamondancer, were coming back at ya with a new set of bangin >rem<ixes !!

been impressed by his remix on wall of sound... i loved it. i also heard he won some remix competition. like a grammy, only not a grammy. the tracks he sent were amazing... but his hair, while being orange (no bonus) was not corn-rowed. while i argued vigorously that i had worked too long and hard building up turbo to see it go all >ginger<... von party defended the duke, saying it might show how open-minded we are. when i re-listened to the tracks i decided that it was well worth the risk. so.... what you now hold in your hand is the debut on turbo of duke dumont: the mysterious bad ass from the wrong-side of the tube, the hardboiled london underground pioneer who once had to eat a sampler to survive, the future of dance music, and the past of the future of dance music

adam beyers mad eye imprint has been the quietest of his 3 in terms of its output over the last few years but it has by no means made he least impact. the 5 releases so far have had massive dj support from across the techno scene with the last release being played by a huge cross section of djs. this time adam has really turned on the style with these 2 tracks with the a side china girl being a funky killer with its grooving bassline and drum groove immediately bringing you in before the addictive wooden block melody and warped edits creating an addictive intensity that put simply - just works. hear it on a system and see the dancefloor react and youll see where were coming from
