after shock from the pain state of emergency returns with a new hardcore stomper! on this 3 tracker everybody gets served! call it music on the a side is a party tune with phatt kicks, a cool melody, catchy raps and a huge break! on the flip we find the darker and more uptempo track vanity. this one is for the ones who like it a bit darker. a simple but effective melody combined with a pounding kickdrum will do the trick for sure! last but certainly not least we take it a bit further with a stunning broken rules remix of game time. the man from l.a. delivers a rough stompin remix only he can do. hardcore with a techno twist is what he serves us! so this raw fuel release covers it all!

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks

dj dealer & grant nelson = dancefloor mayhem!

244 km!! thats the distance between berlin and hamburg. this is what hauke freer and matthias reiling do as often as possible to visit each others studios and start fighting over bass lines and kick drums. after some top notch releases on the real soon and morris audio record labels we are very pleased to welcome a four tracker from the duo at hairy claw hq. the boys open up the ep with swashbuckler, hypnotic, minimal grooves with snatches of percussion and spun in samples. very go round carries on the minimal grooves but juxtaposes jazzy snatches and wonky stabs. foot the bill introduces tribal rhythms and samples, whilst drum fest black betty rounds things off with a percussive and left field slant. a varied and impressive debut from hauke and matthias on hairy claw.

you cant fool me, david is the starting point for the new founded label called what! what! records and especially for mike okay himself. the release is dominated by the interaction of electronic sounds and organic samples which, as a unit, builds up a sporty groove hilariously. the package is completed by fat remixes of tom deluxx, the sexinvaders and silkersoft.

what to expect from advent & indy. is that their productions seem to get bigger & bigger & t1 has too many good points to mention... enjoy.

huuge classic!! mixes the white duke, trentemoeller and vitalic

the right side up ep is the first solo record release from frankie j since his departure from the famed sound republic duo that spatula city records knows so well. what you can expect is all the flavorings of the style you know so well but will leave your breath with long lasting freshness. on the a side we have shuck n jive, which is a super bouncy throwback to the classic ghetto house sound that keep asses in the air and feet working. the flip side burns with a tasty new school jacker called phat soul kicks.

the vision & rokit....what a blast into 2009 for abyss & judge!

very limited pressing of 500 copies only. this is a spacial release. tiedye remix of the all girl indie group rubies. its an absolute balearic disco workout that is rather reminiscent of their fellow swedes studio...

breaking the rules and beeing anything but mr. nice guy - with this massive new ep on karateklub blood & tears shows his straight, trippy, disturbed and mindthrilling way of getting a dancefloor boiled, slaughtered and painted blood-red. blood on the dancefloor is a hypnotising anthem, a bow to the sound of frankfurt of the mid ninetees, pounding more than nine minutes, combining the catchy grooves of todays- and the spirit of oldschool techno with rising pads and pushing sequences. this was made to be played on big floors on very high volume, so turn it up and see what happens when the drums return after a breathtaking break...because blood will follow blood - flip the disk and drop the needle. another advanced dj tool awakens the b-side - your truth was just another lie, something like the beautiful silence before the storm which is the heavy and absolutely non-compromising i wish you were dead. eight minutes of hate and destruction, of nothing but pure techno and a statement that needs no fucking explainings!

its been a while since the last release by mark august on connaisseur, but now hes back with an extraordinary one. two tracks, both like a fairytale of a country far, far away. a fable, with mystic and mysterious animals and creatures, might best describe what mark had in mind while working on the tracks. the wasps from tunisia and the silver piggy – the main track on this release is an uncommon piece of music. it starts moody and with a stoic pumping beat, yet also a somehow laidback feeling. it then unexpectedly and surprisingly builds up to a monster of a track, working manically towards its climax. then however, over the length of the track, it completely transforms again, coming back to its beginning, as though nothing had ever happened. scorpions groove is a deep and dubby affaire.

disco feel and classic in the second release of this awesome re edits label.

a new essential release from the april77 combo. describing themselves as trash pop, this prolific avant garde indie band is always looking for more weird sonic experiences. what makes the songs different from the rest is that finberg finally found the right accomplices. the current incarnation allows him the perfect balance between the four track seclusion of his bedroom punk and the rough and tumble real world.

so this is what hardcore sounds like: fierce as a sharp knife and melodic like a returning nightmare. the wishmaster makes his first appearance on the third movement with back forever. three outstanding tracks to do the job at hand, an italian hardcore experience to follow! included are get out of my way, no skinny bitches and the title track back forever. all produced to deliver maximum hysteria in the crowds. a down right audio attack by italian hardcore master the wishmaster, it doesnt get any better than this!!

with 2 remixes from chicagos legend derrick carter.

support by dj disciple - mixes by: hardsoul, samir maslo & tucillo** the hardsoul brothers and the extremely talented michael canitrot have just hit astralmusic. as always, the only way is up and thats exactly what the track is doing at this very moment: climbing the charts! this release consist of a smashing remix package, courtesy of samir maslo, tucillo and of course a proper hardsoul reconstruction

stefanik ist ein alpha- männchen in seiner spezies, ausgestattet mit jeder menge neugier bewies er bereits in der vergangenheit (bitte discogs wälzen), dass sein antreibender bass mit diamantener strahlkraft von den wänden zurück zu prallen scheint. auch hier funkt und treibt es dynamiken empor die wolken am himmel tanzen lassen

a tribut to the detroit and the chicago sound with an italian touch, together with the excellent remix from cabanne this record is a sure shot !!

ziemlich lässiger detroit sounds mit den sexy vocals von blake baxter auf der a side !! die flipside kommt acidic old skool daher

mr. p!nk presents his new club-smasher. a wonderful remake of the classic dance track: what is love. raina june, is the singer of this after-summer hit. a must have for all house-freaks. on the b-side you find another track by christopher s & mike candys baby hurt me

once upon a time there was the wilderness ep part 1. what follows is the second band of this futuresque music fairy tail-continuing the journey through the dark forests and gardens of the cheapers in which the >hunter< on a1 claimes his territory and eagerly is looking out for bass-devils in heat. thereby the fun drunken rifleman shoots down the rave-bird and even a flock of house-sparrows are being stampeded into the underwood. on the other side of the forest play the busy intricate bees in the vaults of the >fortress< on its mystical fantasy plug ins and a bewiched quake is coming through the deep b1- cracks until the magic tree of dreams starts to flourish

incl gorge & nick curly rmx.. pierce & twirdy team up as s.c.a.l. for their 2nd ep on yellow tail with a tremendous deep but forward thinking techhouse tune

cool ltd picture mashup release a side feat madonnas hung up vs gwen stefanies what you waiting for

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …

hertz presents his brandnew release for the fall of 2008. the man himself shows us once again what an excellent producer he is. perfectly engineered and mixed resulting in a cristal clear sound. heavy kicks, acid like sounds on the a-side that reminds us a bit of the megasmashing hit recreate on reloop. groovy and uplifting all the way, in typical hertz style, with all his experience he knows how to make the crowd move! the flip is of equal strength and turns a wicked bassline into a crazy grooving track. building and building to the climax, you can hear the crowd screaming for more when played in any dj-set! hertz stands for pure quality and you know it!

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart

played by: from disco to jazz and funk, italians have acquired a solid reputation in the making of dance music along the years. those last months seing them firmly back on the blocks, some 20 years after the worldwide domination of the so called spaghetti house!!! what is it then to expect on this 3 tracker? lectrodeep post-disco such as delivered by marcoradi on firefly? abstract phonky house on the shot by upcoming producer mr mama?? synth led deep n sharp tech influenced vibes on the fascinating hidden diva by the likes of tresca aka pastaboys??? who cares as long as its good. and it definitely is...

arctic monkeys were already massive way before they inked a deal with domino in june 2005. people obsessing over the songs? sold out gigs full of stage diving nutcases. hardcore fans pressed up against venue windows, just hoping to catch a glimpse such checkpoints have all been ticked. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well trodden brit rock path.

this release is becoming one of our favorites of the year! there are 2 mixes to compliment this massive original. the first mix comes from canadian underground breaks mastermind evan michael who leaves nothing behind in this peaktime mix. the evan michael mix is filled with dirty breaks, raw basslines and a massive breakdown fit for any big room dance floor. last up on the flip is fabian schumann, another underground sensation who brings a more chilled mix to the table, adding crisp bouncy melodies and a soft bassline.

more super crazy mash up bounce booty power from the finnish jet & trend setters! we were discussing about the records we put out and since we play a lot of sweet stuff, not just only the club bangers and rave numbers, so why dont we put some our sweet favourites on a 12? you all remember girlfriend by dj techics? a huge record for us. the new ep is of course entitled sexytime as its got some joints for the ladies (thats what our club night is all about, see it for yourself if you dont believe it). we wanted to put out the secret weapons we play all the time such as bounce camps big dancin and fuck n tell by dj j.laini (whos one the best hip hop djs in finland and a long time associate)

shogun is a full on relentless progressive bomb, dirty beats & rough & ready soaring synths. 2 slammin mixes that give a taste of what to expect from this mans album!

this vinyl is very special - especially for kaoz and ewe! both of them had a lot of fun producing the tracks together and recording the vocals. those guys know, what a great hardtechno record really needs: dark and stompin tracks, including rough vox to fulfill everything the crowd desire! this vinyl is absolutely fun and all what music is about: 2 the floor!

huge package of remixes by fredeux and teo moss, warren clarke and dons & dbn!! not to be missed

yoshi goes back to spain to hook up with d-formation, one of the hottest producers of the year, whose recent records have become a staple of many big djs sets this summer. >what u want< is an unforgettably hooky cut by dformation & david ferrero that incorporates the best of the minimal techno movement with groovy tech house elements for an extraordinary experience. ismael rivass remix is a high voltage peak time mix while mindskap takes things deep and techy. right out of the gate, supported mark knight, hernan cattaneo, nic fanciulli, behrouz, cedric gervais, dubfire, sharam, tommy boy, eddie thoneick and dj vibe. this one is so good, it might just stick around for miami.
