a new beginning is always an euphoric and scary step towards the unknown. the euphoria comes right after the original idea, when first signs of feasibility are shown. then comes reality. i think that nobody is able to eradicate reality (or what a common society sees of it) out of his mind, though art allows us to escape temporally this fiction. its not an easy task to achieve and artists hold in their hands, intellects, souls and guts a great responsibility. terpsichór? will be a support that transfers this responsibility to others: the artists, the public, the crowd, the souls, the dancefloor

second album after the multi-million-seller >come away with me<, full of melancholy and emotions in blues, jazz and folk.

after several months of hard video- and filmwork, and several awards, french-vietnamese cutie tk.kim aka. pop-3 will finally release some new tracks, on vinyl and online, and by the way, she promised to release more stuff in 2009! so, the new release, chicks and cuts, with 8 tracks online and a 4-track vinyl 12, is definitely dancy, clubby and loud. definitely in the tradition of pop-3s former releases, that never perfectly fitted a precise music category and prove that tk.kim still refuses to be house, tec or minimal. shes all of them or none of them. and what does chicks and cuts sound like, then? boomy squeaking analog sequences combined with delicious samples of her sweet voice will delight the dancefloor, lo-fi audio splinters coming out of old analog drummachines play something like very reduced melodies, and well shaped bassdrums and deep synths will delight your tummies. the very minimal lyrics are in french, as usual. and, goodie: sonja moonear and akiko kiyama contribute with amazing remixes to this fine girls-only oeuvre, rhythmical and minimal but still very harmonious the one by akiko, deep and mysterious the one by sonja. and by the way, the cover is really sweet, people say.

lets remixer speak! >it was great to be asked to do this. originally, i wanted to do something really quirky and funky with the strange vocal in human bond, one of my favorite old tracks. i tried a few times but i couldnt really get a vibe going in the funk realm. so i listened to the original over and over again and then the lightbulb turned on. i realized that the original was a monster rave track, like what you would hear in a warehouse in detroit in the 90s. so i threw out my original idea and went crazy with a huge techno builder, something to hype a big rave just like the original. maybe this doesnt sound exactly like what i usually do but that was the fun of making it< claude vonstroke. aa: >bounce your body to the box was one of the first kms records that i owned and it was all about the mike >hitman< wilson mix and force field on the b side. the production on the original was huge. the 909 groove just pounded everything... when that came out there was nothing that came close to it. so it was an honor and a challenge to mix it myself. first came the futurist bounce mix... not released on vinyl, anmerkung, ... which is more of a cover version than a remix. i had a lot of fun with this one but it definitely has a signature that steps away from the original. so i had to take a run at it one more time to pay a proper homage to the original with the flashback mix< mike shannon...

the highgrade-collective welcomes a new member in its rows, marcus sur, who until now has released one ep on highgrade digital and contributed one track to the >our thing< label-compilation. as-well new on board is the berlin based simon beeston, coming to us from new zealand. it was high time to dedicate a various artists to the newbies, alongside with the old hands tom clark and daniel dreier. marcus surs >gold< heralds the ep hypnotically, simultaneously delivering the proof how perfect his tracks fit into the highgrade label-sound. welcome on vinyl, mr. sur! in the following simon beeston drags us with >idle housewives< into dark echo chambers, teasing with weird sounds, which finally melt together into to a unique groove. label-boss tom clark in alliance with daniel dreier use their >13 cookies< to explore, what happens if you lock two versatile producers like them into one studio. the result is nothing to sneeze at, a massive groove, which keeps three feet on the floor while having the head up in the clouds. adding another facet to this varied ep!

>theres a rat in the kitchen what am i gonna do? theres a rat in the kitchen what am i gonna do?…im gonna teach that rat thats what im gonna do, im gonna teach that rat, thats what im gonna do<… sang ub40 back in the day but these days the best way to teach a rat to dance is to hit it with the latest made to play release from jan driver. the shadowy figure that is jan driver lurks in the depths of the berlin dance scene and only exposes himself to strangers in the park and via the medium of unleashing massive sonically charged dance floor bombs like >rat alert<. for more than twelve years he has been producing on labels as diverse as polydor, am:pm, virgin, southern fried and klang elecronik as well as his own imprint, grandpetrol. this release is causing a massive stir with the heads that matter including roland rat, ratty out of wind in the willows, stuart little, splinter and most importantly dean gaffney aka rat robby out of eastenders who uses it to ease the pain of being an unemployed actor. whether youre a cat, rat or straight up t*at you need to buy this, love it, play it and scare the sh*t out of the local vermin in a club near you.

der thal is been playing all over germany and hes been trying to build up his own sound and skills. after making a great remix of reynolds track >craft< on trenton 027 he is now giving us 3 great tracks for a full maxi. mentona ep is a bit of a journey into what trenton use to be about at the very beginning with a techno that is very close to the old school detroit vibe… in der thals music there are a lot of melodic sounds and tough tight beats to keep us on the ground. >mentona< and >maszo< are floating on air with strings and synth lines when >puston< reminds us more of some >tejada< grooves! a great ep anyway from der thal who is definitely on the way to become one of these great young gifted producers that care about music mainly.

following joels apperance on sister label reverberations with his mix of the inhabitants he gets a full ep on wrong records 2 tracks of jackin bumpy squelchy beats exactly what we expect from wrong

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

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!

can deadmau5 get any bigger, with what has been a meteoric rise for the young canadian in 2008, 2 greatly acclaimed albums and best newcomer in dj top 100 poll along with a string of dancefloor monsters to his name, he has set the dance world ablaze. one of dm5s biggest tracks is handed to his cohort adam k who keeps the peak time sensibilities, with alternative takes from noir & the house moguls giving play records another big hit for release 10!

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.

whether it is early december or late august, gel abril keeps it hot or cool - depending on which side of the equator youre on - with an exceptional 12inch of synth soaked, bleep saturated and tech drenched house. all exclusively produced by the talented shlomi aber in their hometown of tel aviv, israel. collectively they have released on josh winks ovum rec as well as their own acclaimed be as one imprint. eerie sounds meshed with techno chirps are trademark elements of the be as one crew sound, but it is the dramatic synth chord breakdowns and perfectly plump and rounded kick drum that stand out in this outing. so plump and juicy in fact, one can almost get lost in >miranda< through the rhythmic thudding of the pristine bass drum. suddenly a parade of jumbled synth snippets frolic and bobble around like umpa lumpas randomly jumping on a trampoline. think this track is all fun and games? play this peak time and watch the crowd do the >tel aviv shuffle<. don t know what that is? watch it appear before your eyes as the hypnotic sound washes over the ears of the captivated crowd

plays-sander van doorn,what a bomb*dave dresden,filterheadz did a great job on this!! *carl cox,great ! *blank & jones,this is awesome *marco v,big remix love the flow! *tiesto,woh pumping rmx!!!thrillseekers,this is big !

coyote return with a 4 track ep featuring the remix power of the mighty windsurf. >single handed< is a melodic uptempo percussion led groove, pianos and lush strings combine to uplifting effect whist still maintaining the balearic/dub vibe. >mongolia< is a more moody affair, a slo-mo voodoo trance stomp that takes you to the darker side of the balearic beat. >lay back< is a caribbean beach boogie featuring all the usual coyote elements, a slice of sunshine for the winter. windsurf step up to remix lay back to create a beautiful slice of pacifica, keeping up the high standard of remixing that is it balearic is becoming known for. the revolution continues… coyote back doing what they do best is it balearic…?-oh yeah

jackpot embodies chicago house and electronic elements with a voco-vocale telling you how to jack until you hit the jackpot ... pure. dancefloor. cash on acid builds and builds to a stabbing/ hand-clap acid frenzy... and what comes up must come down.

this massive track has now been remixed by steve rachmad and martin h! and what a package it is! it has been worth the wait for sure. no doubt. the way these two have tweaked and changed this anthem is really interesting. what came out of it in the end is more or less two new songs. two different forms. two new interpretations to absorb. wicked!.

the second release on important hardcore records and after the huge success of the first release (masters of noise) we can assure this one will score big time in hardcore land too! this powerful 3 tracker is produced by a new, highly talented producer from germany: dj hurricane! his feeling for innovative sounds and melodies, gadgets and arangements are simply amazing. the ep starts on the a side with rock a party and the track does exactly what the name says,a pure party tune which will cause total mayhem on all international hardcore floors!the flip side starts with listen up which is a bit harder & agressive, yet still it remains quite mainstream as soon as the terrific break drops in. to finish the 12inch we find keep the crowd jumpin which is basic yet dedaly effective track full of cool melody lines. another fine piece of hardcore work presented by important hardcore records, top notch release for all hardcore lovers out there!!

supported by richie hawtin, onur Özer, dj hell, butch, dan ghenacia, stephan bodzin, gel abril, john selway, kiki, groove rebels, joseph capriati, bjoern scheurmann, adam (made to play), mikel mckay, owner of the wiesbaden-based circus records presents his debut on bigcitybeats techno and what an incredible introduction this is! amigos ep is started off by the good-mooded angma that takes you back into the 1930s, which is how old the sample is mikel and eddie cut in from a native american singer and flute player. with a crazy and yet in itself contained arrangement it has all necessary requirements to be one of these big tunes

also played by sven väth, marco carola, dubfire, richie hawtin, nick curly, loco dice, 2000andone, karotte, monika kruse, d julz... cécille records presents with the italian guy ilario alicante one more fresh talented producer. what you get are perfect peak time monsters paired with a huge emotional markus fix and robert dietz remix. hope you enjoy...
