yore welcomes ibex to the yore family. tony ollivierra aka ibex, who is no stranger at all to the world of detroit house music, known for his outstanding releases on carl craigs >planet e< or his hot gems on 3rd ear and rushhour, returns in full effect on our 26th release. here he brings us four tracks, so deep (and yet grooving without a doubt), unique and full of class, that it still leaves us simply speechless. the music on this ep is so rich and full of musical ideaÆs, like we havent heard it since a very long time. one can tell you need history and expertise behind to drop something like this and ibex sure has what it takes. hes been releasing high quality house music since early 2000 and has been touring as a dj since the mid nineties, which all you can sense in his music. this is one of our personal favourite releases so far and we can only strongly recommend to get your copy while they last. killer ep not to be missed and already a classic today!

the something vinyl series continues this time with seductive house tunes and deep moments for the dancefloor and places beyond. five tracks and four bonus loops makes this the next typical warm vibrating something record, you have probably already expected. as the title suggests, its not a perfect clean and faultless production. there is the dirt and a sound inhabitant, for what stl records are well known for. experimentations in the worlds of hardware based tone generators and at the limits of analog signal processors. the tracks also deliberately dispense much static computer arrangements and were recorded mostly in live sessions to capture the actual feeling for each song. every being is a universe of its own, with all it s known and unknown places. there are mistakes and inner strangers which are made to learn and grow. this record is a recent snapshot from someones life, where the love for music and sound is maybe the most beautiful mystery!

after 3 years of long and painfull waiting our firiend jichael mackson is now back on musique risquee with 2 new great songs that we are happy to present here with this new release entitled just in time . on the a side locus pocus is what you can call a hard edged hypnotic techno track: loopy, bleepy, trippy and squiddly diddly. the b side, entitled sugar hill mountain, is what you can call a deep, warm and moody ambiant song: shiny, airy, velvety and mushy gushy. check it yourselves. its really worth the listening as it was worth the waiting.

after the success of >slow burn< as well as the licensing of >dirt< to mr. ben klocks berghain mix compilation, echologist returns with another slice of psychedelic dub techno with remixes by frances techno king terence fixmer and arguably moscows finest producer, anton zap. the original mix is a slowly builds into a blaze of cavernous chord changes and a 4/4 groove powered by an unelenting sub bass. the distinctive sound of this track is what seperates echologist from all the other dub techno composers out there. terence fixmer takes the elements and transforms them into his signature techno workout that packs as much punch as it does finesse while anton zap strips things down and builds a super spacious hypnotic house groove that has become a trademark of his ethereal sound. all round another essential release from echologist.

finally, the live virtuoso olene kadar is back again with release #4 on his homebase mos ferry! not only the really massive kick makes the a-side >deal< a true stomper, that might put a smile on every detroit fans face also a guy called gerald would be thrilled! kadar uses common sounds and styles to stack his own unconventional sound-building - his own >house<. driving is probably the adjective that can express most accurately what constitutes the eight and a half minutes track with its funky organ chords. the b-side >sot:2< contains an equally virtuoso ass-shaker. somewhere between industrial aesthetics of the reverberated snare and the indefinable squawking sound its elements combine into a multi-dimensional piece of >club therapy< full of extremes. the unity of groovy kick and bass constitutes a high contrast to the vast extending percussion that moves at times in dramatic and absurd dimensions. approaching the drop, the almost out of control snare rolls and percussion drown any crowd in their own sweat dripping from the ceiling.

hailing from leipzig in germany is an artist whos music has been pricking up many ears across the global underground over the last few years. its hard to put a finger on what it is about kassem mosses productions that make repeated listening a must, but the intricacy, fresh arrangements and musical depth definitely play a part in attracting labels such as the highly respected techno imprint workshop, the legendary soma records and now nonplus are honoured to present his latest 12 inch. a) kassem mosse – >we speak to those< first up on the a-side we have >we speak to those< a 4/4 track of the highest quality that keeps you guessing from start to finish. the rugged and raw kick and bassline immediately set the foundations for the incoming awkward chord stabs whilst reversed beats lazily slur in and out over the main groove giving the track the unnerving feeling that its almost changing tempo. random sound effects and a non conforming arrangement make this track about as predictable as the english summer. one listen to this and youll immediately understand why this artist is getting love from some of the scenes biggest players at the moment. aa) kassem mosse – >hi res< phased drum machine breakbeat patterns and stutered percussion redolent of the early detroit techno uprising give this track an outstanding quality of being able to conjure up the same feelings of hope and optimism for electronic music that the aforementioned era managed to. thought provoking chord progressions take your mind on an excursion to the future and leave you gagging for an extended trip. think skyways, flying cars and towering metal buildings footed with dark abysmal underworlds and youll get the drift. they don t come much deeper than this one

what an absolute stormer, for those of you who have never heard this record, get ready to be blown away. initially out in 1992 inner citys pennies from heaven was just the most perfect house anthem, i think it was kevins tunnel mix which was the killer mix, here it has been strung out just a little by the slow to speak people. all the crucial elements are still there, amazing vocal, the most uplifting of pianos, ridiculously simple yet deadly bassline and fantastic crisp garage beats. really they dont get much better than this, watch em go on nye when you drop this. awesome!

straight from cologne, we proudly debut with our first release on technology gap 001, with some deep as its gets straight up house music acompaning your personal summer madness. anyone wondering what oliver kochs breitbandkater projects all about need only turn to the eps opening cut, >warm and wet<, wherein the cologne-based producer proclaims, >i want the best for you / so everything i do / is house music.< yep, technology gap 001 is house music all right, and a particularly fine sampling of it too. the aforementioned >warm and wet< immediately declares itself an ep high point the moment its thumping bass pulse kicks in. sleekly designed, the cut begins with a tight minimal swing that swells into a jacking house fireball while serving up six minutes of chunky chords and cracking snares. the second track, >wonder why<, tips the balance in a slightly more soulful deep house direction when monojoe spreads an exuberant vocal ove r breitbandkaters lush backing. warm chords and a sweetly grooving pulse provide a soft cushion for some old-school cymbal patterns and a radiant synth hook in the smooth stormer. adopting a slightly more atmospheric approach, with house group of the hour, morning factory winds up the ep with a trippy remix of >warm and wet< which finds kochs vocal drifting through the slow-building mix in a semi-entranced daze. lovers of classy deep house should no doubt find much to admire about breitbankaters three-tracker. go hunt, its good for you

italians do it better owner/traveling dj salesman/heavy record collector mike simonetti takes an edit to three very obscure 90s house tracks. we were able to recognize the a-side with some help. the track was altered significantly and intro extends and builds and builds and builds... the two tracks on the b-side sound like 90s japanese piano house and a happy house rave track flipped on 33 but to be honest, we have no idea what they are.

support by: adam beyer, technasia, the advent, dave clarke, dubfire, chris liebing, secret cinema, justin berkovi, joel mull.... here we go with the roots of dark techno, michael schwarz now shows up with the basic track of fauna, that was remixed on pt. 1 of this package by justin berkovi. fauna is nothing less than a masterpiece, so it draw the attention of alex bau immediately and he hook up with man behind the secret moniker floom. the guys delivered what you would expect anyway whenever you read their names: total dedication to techno in its basic sense. big support from all the techno-guys around!

espania fast becoming the techno capital of europe! slight exageration perhaps, but maybe those days won t be too far away. the transhuman label bursts onto the scene with a very impressive 5 track ep from arcanoid and the transhumans. from the off, the label plants is flag slap bang in the middle between detroit and berlin, which geographically may be somewhere in the mid atlantic, but musically, you ll probably know what we mean. check postindustrial for a killer slice of techno the likes of which robert hood could be making these days

nice price deal !!! andnotors fourth vinyl release sees rubadubs very own line idle laying down a hefty techno workout, which combines analogue crispness with distorted synths and a brooding vocal for maximum dancefloor devastation. mixing land cruising-era melodic bounce with a dirty electronic throb, tense slowly builds to a crescendo as the vocals rise up through the mix until the hook kicks in and it all gets messy. on the flipside, nu42Æs acid remix does exactly what it says on the tin, arpeggiating the synths, adding a healthy dose of squelch and fracturing the vocals to make a much more grinding long-player. whilst the original is a peak-time techno beast, the flip is pure warehouse material, nine-minutes of slowly-evolving drops and breakdowns designed for an early hours of the morning after-party. tense is andnotors fourth vinyl, after limited-edition releases from cledus snow, tj kong and aleksandr jurczyk, and each copy comes individually hand-stencilled. previous releases have gained them a substantial following from djs like tom middleton, kenny larkin, mark bell (lfo), mark moore (s express) and erwin van moll.

some things seem to have a symbiotic relationship. prime example: a low-key electronic soundscape that leaves room for roaming thoughts, inhabited by an ethereal voice that colours in the musical silhouettes conjured in the minds eye. for his first ep since the >mango remixes< in 2008, sascha funke calls upon russian nina kraviz to make a feature appearance. with her releases on rekids, b77 and underground quality, this young woman has brought a rare combination of talents to bear: she sings, plays and produces with an equally astounding level of expertise. so what we have here is an encounter between of germanys most incisive techno producers and a singer of considerable charisma.

usually i disagree with almost anything fashion designers have to say, but when i was compiling this ep i remembered this quote by the iconic german designer and finally exactly understood what he means. i realized why i react so strongly to den haans music. like proper italo disco its so wrong it must be right. the two glaswegian producers do everything right when it comes to pushing buttons on the dancefloor. to follow their releases on dissident, optimo music and their own imprint courier of death, they have put together this ep that sums up their impeccable feel for hi-nrg / italo fueled dancefloor madness.

analytic trail has been instrumental in creating what is now recognized as the neapolitan techno sound. the labels dynamic and inventive approach is the key to their success. marrying raw basic elements with fun-loving party vibes, the name analytic trail is synonymous with the italian big-room techno sound. launched in 2001 by markantonio the label currently sits proudly at the head of italys vibrant techno scene. rapidly approaching a landmark thirtieth single release, june 2010 will see analytic trail release their debut artist album >save my soul< by the super-talented joseph capriati.

excellent funky chicago house licks , feta inland knights remix on the flipside
