nice price deal !!! passions was formed in the summer of 2006 by ben deitz, after attending a rave in berlin. passions reside in brooklyn, ny, ny. passions has between 2 and 5 members at any given time. while ben deitz is the only band member who will reveal his name and face, each member of passions brings a unique history to the band. from deitzs being mentored by a former member of snap in high school, to other band mate s experiences in the the early 80s la punk scene and practicing chaos magick. all of passions, however, share a love of dance music, from 90s hardcore, to electro-house, to grime and anything in between emergency is a punk electro stormer climbing to the max thanks to a huge funky bassline and addictive vocals sung by star eyes. the reach-for-the-sky construction leaves you no chances. melodic as hell, it will no doubt catch all the ears. passions is what happens when you stop controlling yourself. passions will not protect you from what you want. if you wake up everyday and listen to this song, you will become a millionaire. we guarantee it

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

reworks by ata, cassy, arto mwambe!! steve bug charts + big support from all over!!! fact is that ata/sasse rework a jahcoozi track,upvalues this 12inch with extra rarity bonus points, because usually ata only produces very infrequently and selected remixes. they put your record player in shallow, well-tempered water, while fine sand tickles the nail. now and then you can listen to a groovy, fart-sounding simmer when a warm dubby summerbreeze waves through your ntilnian head. the ex-nord ntiln dj arto mwambe puts all eggs in one basket: modern-bombast! a jingling glockenspiel and fucked-up stottered vocals – all covered up with a squelching drone…

wink is back at it again with the long awaited follow up to >516 acid<. this is the first time these tracks will be released on vinyl. >swirl< was featured on josh wink s acclaimed mix compilation profound sounds volume 3, but this is the first time a full version of the track will be released. in wink s signature style of creating tension, he full delivers on swirl. the track slowly builds and takes off when wink adds in his signature 303 bass line. like one of wink s dj sets it goes through many peaks and valleys, but it is the tension that is created that will drive the floor nuts. the b side is >have to get back<, which had been released on minus records min to mac comp, but only in an instrumental form. this is the very rare vocal version of that track. again wink provides the tension in this dark affair. the addition of the eerie vocal will remind people why he is the master of the bugged out production

played by dinky, karotte, trevor jackson!! these new tracks venture to the deeper, often evocative ends of techno and house. the title track fuses an percussive old school house groove with deep techno chords. so when the organ line kicks in, it gives you this very orginal emotion of timeless house. in keeping with einzelkind s unpredictable tendencies – he used to make drum n bass before he switched onto house and techno – you still can hear something of his former musical alter ego in the second track, >bonnieland<.based on a low-slung, growling bassline, the track gradually evolves to reveal a trippy sequence and lush chords, which sounds like the fusion of a detroity atmossphere with the dynamic of a drum n bass-track. a strong release, that consolidates the unique fingerprint of the two einzelkind-boys from frankfurt

this ep is rock solid from top to bottom. rock. solid. even rhythm plate say this is their best ever release. this means - 4 tracks of burning, pumping, forward-thinking house music. every track on this ep is a killer tune, whether it s dark warehouse soul, throbbing deep house or early 80s disco dub. silence is sounds like dfa playing at a berlin warehouse rave. techno, live bass and wild vocals - crazy anthem. hard times is tight, heavyweight house which will tear the roof off when played in a sweaty club. remember the days is an instant dancefloor-filler with life-affirming rubbery bass movements and warm squidgy chords. node out is stripped-down underground disco dub with chunky 80s beats and jiggy piano stabs. absolute winner

marc schneider comes around with a new 12 inch on hamburg based label was not was called >sniper ep<. the a side starts like a shot, to be thinking not to arrest somebody. groovy percussions, claps and hihats open the round dance, mysterious strings and a cryptic nice little melodie rounding this tune. when you get to the part of having to turn the record over you will be pleasantly surprised by what you find.. another assassin, hell yeah, hard pumpin basskicks, a dusky bassline, dark vocal snippets and psycho-soundscapes stand for for their own, party hard! the >sniper ep< is an unusual record, clever mixture of banging minimal sound and ravey structures, at the end there wont be survivors, only shoot dancers.. tip

its quite refreshing when a new label imprint comes along and the first release absolutely blows us away. this is a new sub label of zenit being organised by none other than alex bau. the sound is a refreshing take on techno with the tracks leaning heavily more towards a modern minimal sound but with still enough in to pack a serious punch on the dancefloor. the first release is a breathtaking 2 tracker from alex bau himself. the first thing that strikes you is the level of production with the a side, a deeper minimal tune with outstanding soundscapes and dubbed out basslines for the after hours set. the flip being a driving pulsey techno floor burner with acidic riffs and a seriously groovy bassline and percussion pattern

maschine number nine integrale - inside features two tracks by solieb. integrale on the a-side is a bleepy pumping track that s filled with small effect and percussion gadgets topped with a melody that takes control from the middle of the track and turns it into a remarkable musical trip. inside on the b-side is a freaky minimal electro slammer with a fat-ass groove and a load of glitch on top getting transformed into an serious floor shaking beast when the bassline comes in

although he keeps his head just under the radar, jon cutler is not exactly against producing really big club tracks when he puts his mind to it. south slope sees him channel his energies into the kind of show stopping tracks that the likes of kerri chandler, dennis ferrer and quentin harris are famed for, but with a deft jazzy touch which they often ignore. the ibadan style groove is bedded in with a wonderful organ solo that serves to take the tune to the next level, while the dub mix drops the organ for a more shelter friendly tool
