deep house jams by dj jus-ed, fred p. and labelhead dj qu.

go hiyama has always been a very interesting artist for me, ever since he emerged in 2002 on james ruskins coda label. both his musical & production style have changed a lot since then and i personally feel theres still no one out there who comes near to what he is doing. we planned on working together since a long time now and i am glad we finally made it work with this brilliant 4 tracker. no fillers. all 4 tracks have been tested thoroughly in my sets and always stood out as highlights.
no compromises on these fierce punishing drums, delivered by one of the most promising talents in techno the last years. hope you will enjoy playing these tracks as much as i do. (kr!z)

massive open air tunes for all fans of villalobos, loco dice & luciano. first release from the italian youngster hooved on kammer musik. he belongs to a new group of young italian producers which are establishing a their own house sound made in italy. lets see what there comes next from hooved.

who is noa siano: a face in the crowd, or a ghost in the shadows? we dont know ourselves, but this intriguing newcomer has an affinity for deep soulful house that has the spirit of what house music is all about leaking from every orifice.

after the more then excellent label debut fit 001 (pittmann) we have the follow up for you by jamal moss (iamthatiam, aka hieroglyphic being aka the sun god aka jack-fm.) as iamthatiam, moss builds upon the sounds of his citys rich musical legacy and directs it into an area that is his most definitely his own. his sound is expressive, experimental, emotional and powerful. within this ep there are three deep, dark and dirty tracks that blend the boundaries between techno, house, industrial and ambient electronic music. fit sound is a label that strives to push the experimental nature of dance music, and that is exactly what moss has done right here.

i know, i know… these tunes can really not be classified as house tools. martin beume, who also released the fabulous texgreen ep on outils, presents three unorthodox house tracks packed with the two winner components: weird melodies and mighty basslines. step right up! - the first cut on this release, gives you the feeling of being in a khole in the middle of a freak show carnival. catchy and odd melody snippets rotating diffusely on a never ending marching groove - absurdity in its most elegant form. slowly but steady – its a telling title! old school to the core, this track builds up steadily and adds layer for layer of jazzy samples until the tune is completed to an alluring dancefloor killer. flowing ribbon – what a lovely and sweet tune.

the return of klakson!! mesak delivers a full length (soon to be released) and this is a limited advance vinyl copy of that album. mesak delivers great nordic electrofunk and of course marcel dettmann delivers what people expect... phat berlin styled basement style techno tracks that will be many peoples favorite! must!

z is hitting you with 3 tracks from the debut album by akabu, dave lees pseudonym for his more electronic housey material. the debut akabu album >the phuture aint what it used to be< is due this year and is filled with deep, musical, properly underground grooves but which still posses enough energy to keep the dancefloor busy. boom clap bachelors - a collective of producers, live musicians and djs out of copenhagen / denmark. the collective was founded in 2005 it provided the outlet for future collaboration. the music spans from electronica, disco non disco to leftfield, new wave, soul and indie influcences. remix comes from the mighty motor city drum ensemble

summer is on the horizon, peeps. its time to pump up those sounds. so open your box as sexonwax returns to the source. staying true to our name, our essence. presenting special vinyl ep for your aural excitement only. first up is the massive toon of four-track goodness, paralexia. feel our groove. really, what could be sexier? despite the name there can be no misapprehension of whats going on here. the patterns of omids paralexia see fractal flurries of melody sprinkled with insane piano tinkles. these ivories are driven upwards by solid synth gold and old skool drum builds. with a whirling breakdown that feels like a waterfall crashing over your head. it all adds up to a proper prolonged derangement of the senses. so much so that the party people of miami went ballistic when it was promod by sos during their set at dj mags pool party. check the link. show us yer shimmy! cos bites without teeth is more of a builder, folks. and if the beats dont grab n shake you in their grimy grip, then the wonky bass will. claps like a funker. phases like a wrong ‘un. builds like a bastardo. its food for thought… a bonus here from sexonwaxs popular april release in the form of lilly and poppy. except this time mr o brings a vinyl dub to the table: a reliable beauty with a dramatic and yet delicate bouquet >du jour<. in fact, its almost as epic as >the epic<! so there you go, guys. paralexia is a real package. boasting more beef than argentina, more heat than technotonics and more eruptions than iceland. all of em sure-fire floor shakers with an ultra-modern/vintage sound, best served with sunshine and a smile. feeeel the difference.

doppelschall is back with its 2nd vinyl instalment. and its clear what the label is aiming for... high quality modern electronic dance music with a warm soulful edge. jazzy injected mordern house tracks from mr bozeman is what they present after the more then excellent release of dollkraut. hypnotic and pulsating house with a dusty sample aesthetic that ads a warm flavor that makes this sound like a record that one knows like its own pocket. brandt brauer and frick committed to do the remix and come up with a brilliant jazzy work out of the title track. needs no recommendation!

bringing the virtuosity into contemporary dancemusic, two protagonists found themselves as being the new dreamteam of the scene: thomas melchior and bruno pronsato. and it works perfectly- melchior, the perfectionist who always sets new standards regarding minimal house music and pronsato, the scientist who discovers the unheard and the unbelievable. both living in berlin, melchior & pronsato connected their world of sound and built one of the loveliest records in the whole universe of reduced deepness. on >puerto rican girls< melchior & pronsato play the most wonderful rhodes-line ever created connected with a never-to-stop-rhythm that could last for ages. it features the voice of ninca leece, who just released a super sweet record on bruno pronsatos imprint thesongsays. pure love! on the b-side >we make it right< brings together what belongs together- a fluffy bassline with that kind groove which makes the sun shining brighter.

ooooooh yeeeaaah!!! haasten is here! one of technos fastest rising stars brings his strongest ep to date with two huge tracks you will be hearing lot of this summer! egbert returns to gem… >haasten< (translates into hurrying) has been destroying crowds during egberts live sets around the globe for the past few months. a dark commanding bass line that skips over the beat is accompanied by a retro sounding orchestral jab to create what is looking to become one of this years biggest techno tracks! the b-side >yourself< has also proven to be a crowd pleaser and is paving the way for the future of percussion based techno. the punishing drums, deep basses, narrow mids and rattling hats kick ass throughout the track before taking a break for 30 seconds to introduce some melody and continue on mercilessly afterwards. a mean f*cking package!

huge package with 8 mixes for bones classic >music< speech. >what happened to the music? i remember when we used to dance.< dj bone, trench, samuel l. session, dj 3000, rennie foster, santiago salazar, aaron-carl, stephen brown. colored vinyl.

2 funky disco cuts by stargard, made in 1977/78.

steve summers is back with his third ep, this time around for greeces echovolt label. summers continues to play with his main inspirations, the energy and grit of hardy tape edits, melodies of larry heard, and deep bass tones of william s. this four track ep manages to capture a feeling of experimentation and authenticity thats often missing in modern dance music. strong 12 with timeless chicago house tracks! very cool!

tracks with the license to drive you mad! nothing less what you can expect from this ep from germanys upcoming sven kegel aka drehkontrolle. sharp production with sound(e)scapes that are weird but straight at the same time. real hidden secret weapon for your case, thx god you have it on vinyl to listen to this nice bass!

duijn & douglas return to nowar for their second release >quiche l hik<, this time teaming up with vocalist berenice, and anonym on remix duty on the flipside. >quiche l hik< is a solid dancefloor work-out that will get you hooked from the very first beat. the rolling bassline simply sucks you into a hipshaking groove, funked up by tight oldksool tush-moving hihats. the whole thing builds up to berenices warm and sexy vocals and a most funky chord progression that will glue you to the dancefloor. this cut is a full body and soul work-out! on the flipside detroits anonym pushes it into a more throbbing affair. raw, stripped to its sexiest parts and with slightly warped chords, the remix is a sweaty and sultry groover, mentally gripping, simply good ol fashioned house! this release perfectly reflects what nowar is about, deep and raw house music.

tbd first made a noteworthy noise with the release of >what is this?<, their 2009 debut that found favor with critics, djs and audiences for both its seditious take on dance music – and avoidance of worn-out conventions – and sheer sublimity. it was fitting success for an outfit founded by two musicians who, bored by the sounds around them, set out to >create something new, fresh and not confined by restrictive genre pigeonholing.< on the heels of that pitch-perfect release, as well as remixes for luminaries including permanent vacation, runaway, 2020 soundsystem and populette, to name just a few, tbd – comprising rong musics lee douglas and ex-!!!/outhud bassist and producer justin vandervolgen – is back with a 12 inch of idiosyncratic new music.

sabb has definately become an important player on the electronic music scene over the last couple of years and his talent has now shown he will be around for many years to come.
on this fine piece of music he hooked up with good friend dark beat to create a beautyful piece of music with a quite melancholic undertone to it. this track has dc10 ibiza moments written all over it and will without a doubt get many plays this summer.
mendo delivers yet another high quality mix with his unique sound and clever remix skills. on >ballkanika< he took us by surprise by making a quite uplifting hook from the dark clarinet instrument. once again he showcases his talent for hearing what others dont and making this track an even more summer-ish tune with a hands in the air feel to it.

praezisa rapid 3000 are robert guschel, david junghans and henrik jacobsen. coming from different styles of music they found each other to start making music. loving techno, drum & bass, dubstep and indie they created the praezisa-sound: complex, harmonic, organic, which eradiates quickness through native instruments. in doing so there is much humor in this supposed to be earnest music. this ep tries to depict the spectrum of what the three guys love: from bass-music to easy listening – and house: good guy mikesh & filburt, known through releases on permanent vacation, liebe*detail and mirau give the debut of praezisa rapid 3000 a remix.

every so often a new talent pops up out of nowhere and delivers something special which grabs everyones attention. so, for its 12th offering redux is very proud to present an exciting new artist with his first ever release and what a debut it is. christophe, known to his mum and dad as christopher rees is not only a dab hand in the studio but a talented graphic designer in the day and dj with the futureboogie crew at night. after playing a demo of >make a mark< to tristan one hazy morning in his hometown of bristol, the track was quickly snapped up by redux without haste. drenched in classic house sensibilities and showing astounding amounts of skill and taste for his first foray into the world of production, the future looks bright from this point on for christophe.

inally, this club smasher from londons underground blog merchants venom and damage is due for release! having cut their teeth in londons gutter house bass movement with tracks like >love in the club<, >paradise slugs< and their >maximum carnage< mixtapes, venom and damage drop a new take on the uks house sound, in the form of >deeper<. its hard edged production, syncopated rhythms and anthem-like synths are recognisable from a mile off and are no doubt what has been causing such a stir in the clubs. if youve seen modeselektor any time in the past 12 months, chances are youve gone nuts to this track – so big, the guys included it as a focal point of their recent global live sets, and featured it on their resident advisor podcast. it has also and gained support from djs such as adam freeland, marcus nasty, martyn, brodinski, jackmaster, xxxy, julio bashmore and more. deeper becomes the first release on the ten thousand yen imprint, co-run by the uks rising star doc daneeka and its the man himself who delivers on remix duties, keeping the strong melodic feel, but giving it that more oppressive basement vibe.

nice price deal !!! this is dasein, the opening potion of milyoos (aka tommy wilson) debut ep and the second release on subeenas new opit records. dasein attempts to grapple with existence, temporality and substance and what could be a more perfect description of these warped sonics- perpetual motion purely of the moment. multitude makes you feel like a tourist at an off-world bazaar, a strange landscape with a slug-bass bubble undercarriage and inquisitive wide-eyed synths. fayoh leads in with in a harold budd doing house piano before being pounced on by clipped vocal tics and odd blocks of cubist sound all underpinned by a funky beat and quite frankly its gorgeous. if there is a strand of coherence across the ep then its an almost exotic one- these are curiosities, virtual ships in bottles, they are not narrative pieces even if they are in constant motion. only two releases in and opit records is clearly going to avoid easy categorisation- milyoos debut is something to get mighty excited about and i await further transmissions with baited breath...

reference (planet e / echospace / beretta) consists of the detroit-based artists luke hess & brian kage. in the first reference vs project we squeezed some of the party out of seth troxler and some of the percussion expertise from ryan crosson to create the still sought after tracks >the fade< and >the bumps<. in the second installment of our reference vs series we wanted to get a bit more soulful, & deep with the music, and highlight two of the worlds finest dub techno artists - stephen hitchell (cv313) and marko furstenburg (surphase). stephen hitchell aka cv313 is first a sound engineer. his experiments with synthesis create a warm, ethereal, and organic analog sound all his own. in the reference vs projects we seek to extract the natural strengths of the artist. when we received the files from stephen we knew we were packing heat! we structured our zone around the life-like chord structure that cv313 so effortlessly creates and gave it some more dance floor flavor. we believe the track titled >the wake< will fill dance-floors over the summer months on the beach as well as in the clubs. what can we say. markos shuffled dub stab style has been in demand since the artist started releasing on thinner back in 2002. mr. fürstenbergs deep and emotional music is an extension of his character. we were happy to receive what we expected from marko, super percussive, cavernous, and soulful soundscapes. again we referenced the package out with some drones, new analog rhythms, and eureka. the zone continues relentlessly in >the swell< to carry the dancer through the night into another summer day in the sun

limited edition one sided 10inch. a tune. and a voice. and a simple choice?. be my husband and ill be your wife. i can hear it playing in clubs from newquay to east fife. >what is that?< they say, >i know that, im sure<. but theyve never heard it played like that before. its all about the drop, let the music talk the talk. no one ever gets paid. never run before you can walk. and its all about the music, love the trouble, love the strife. because i will love you for the rest of my life. busted by:(the tea drinking) scruff,(the diminutive yet mighty) geiom,( the masked wonder that is) sbtrkt

please welcome one of the most promising dutch artists on souvenir027, onno. a one-way ticket to india awaits you with the a-side, >bombay palace<. onno is storming the dance-floors with mystic vocals layered with club friendly drums and beats. a must have crowd pleaser for the early sunshine of the day! daniel sanchez (remote area, 100% pure) flies the original direct to chicago - encompassing spacey and vocoded vocal sounds. he genially injects soulful elements into >bombay palace< and turns it into a stellar skyscraper rooftop for >8 minutes of love…< - deep deep deep! on the flipside, onno delivers with >chants< - dizzying on the forefront, all driven by cosmic waves and stomping drums - a singular piece of electronically modified funk. sante happened to be onnos first remixer of choice for the track - a great choice, as he infuriates the original with what the tech-house genre offers best, turning it into a devastating peak-time take. well done!

this is the first of two vinyl releases of the channel x debut album >the x files<. andré and mirko decided to put four smashers on this first ep: it kicks off with circus-infused polka minimal tech track >freak show<. next up is >strange girl<, the tooly and soulful vocal tech-house that channel x have become renowned for. on the flip its channel x show how deep their house approach can go on the super sweet male vocal track >snug descent<. last, but surely not least this ep finishes with >we love the x<, a perfect showcase of what channel x stand for: vocals, effects, big basslines and strong loops.

the 8th studio album by jay-z, released in 2003, shows the man at top of his game, old-school and modern, constantly re-inventing himself. produced with rick rubin, timbaland, kanye west, the neptunes, just blaze, eminem and more.

with her new album, dust, ellen removes the sense of remoteness entirely. a warm immediacy takes centre stage in place of distanced artistic abstraction. as such, what is perhaps ellens most personal album takes the form of a complete spectrum of her creative output to date, a cross-section in time which also looks ahead to previously untrodden paths... the world according to ellen!

groove charts # 3 !!! >sex ×technology = the future< ( jg ballard) wires are the arteries of the modern world, connecting and supplying practically everything that defines our lives. we channel our desires like an electrical current through our machines. musically, the concept is about drawing together the different strands, from techno and minimal to house to ambient and experimental. there is a common thread that runs through these different genres, linking them like the roots of a tree. this diversity is what keeps everything fresh for me. the >raudive< project explores techno and minimal, further releases will feature >atlas<, a new project created by myself and co-producer tommy gillard which moves into more detroit house territory. later there will be music from >zov zov< music that references pan sonic, coil and sunno))).

its a bakers dozen for ray mangs ever reliable mangled imprint! despite being more than adept at mining out long lost classics & wielding the edit scissors, ray has asked us to make it clear that this ep, much like the last couple of mangled releases are original works (sure there are a few samples here and there, but hey!) what you can be sure of is that this mighty trio are super effective where it counts, thoroughly road-tested and very much in demand as with everything on mangled the revived label and rays recent smash on dfa, not to mention his accomplished dj sets, has pushed him back to the forefront of a scene he was instrumental in forming. having been behind a plethora of releases on cult uk nu-disco labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc over the years he has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more.

first on decks.de !! t-bet records is glad to introduce the duo mr. bizz, a project with house and dub sonorities. even though its a young project they have already had plenty of releases. among these the track eternity has been used in the compilation ten years cocoon ibiza mixed by dubfire and loco dice. strong irreverent percussions, kinda hypnotic, deep bass lines screwing in your ears, disarming melodic patterns mixed with elated voices all contained in dreamy atmospheres. its easy to be taken away by esta manana and to be enraptured on the rolling wheels of oasi. you know, we have decided to bet on techno and what would be more satisfying than to embody on this ep two great remixes from from andrea ferlin (1/2 of duoteque) and diamond dog (contexterrior)

>privilege< deals with the fortune of living out a dream in a world that does not grant all people with the same opportunities. over the last year i had the fortune to visit places around the globe in which i felt the obscene wealth of opportunities i have in life. its hard to bear that the majority of humanity will never have the chance to even dream of who and what they could have been. (glitterbug about his new album)

maybe >grandfathers clock< is the most house influenced release from the german duo piemont so far. going more deep dirty and housy this time... they turn towards a more relaxed and slack approach. chopping up bits of vocals and sounds, tight and funky, this is what piemont is all about. >running mirror< refers to giorgio moroder respectively hi energy influences and is a hypnotic cool groove monster that will convert spaces into soulful places. frederic and christian have released a good dozen of records now and have been very successful. with >peak time tracks< such as >carbonat< being played by the whole lot of ibiza djs and big names around the world. >running mirror< definitely manifests a turning point in their musical spectrum... to deeper grounds of electronic dance and will get other djs involved in their manifold world of music.

filth & splendour are cuasing a bit of a stir at the moment. with their >hot pick< release on cr2 & puerto banus ep, on berwick st, both released last month, kicking up a flurry of intrest in these guys.
