babylon by car is entirely in this ambiguity, between nostalgia and modernity, between pop and post-punk, electronic music and rock, past and future – its where kraftwerks >men-machines< celebrated an endless future with obedient machines. botox summons the ghosts of the century, from cybotron to wire, from fad gadget to john carpenter, to give birth to greatly personal music and, in all honesty, a rather unique sound in french electronic music. botox doesnt swagger to keep their motors running. both melodic and fierce, >babylon by car< comes as it is. and its probably the best way to take it in

after several releases on mathematics as contra communem opinionem, cco presents his latest release on the promising new label lux rec. with his impressive ep the secret life of a transistor bassline cco proves us once again his ability to space out and rock hard at the same time. what more do you need? this journey starts off in the sewers of a miserable city on the western hemisphere and takes us higher until we freely float in space. as we move at the speed of light but with no perception of time, we eventually land on planet venus. this is where jack inserts his pleasure plug into the acid machine and sets off a dirty romp. in our quest for the secrets of life, we thereafter push boundaries further and explore even far away galaxies. always bearing in mind the infinity of time and space.

awanto 3 drops fire on voyage direct! awanto 3 is picking up where kid sublime and meikbar left off a few years ago and delivers two mid tempo house gems. both tracks are >10 minute long, hypnotic, yet joyful builders. more genius from the mind of steven de peven (rednose distrikt) . tom trago, one of the most prominent producers on rush hour records, who has produced several releases for this label since 2006, curates this series. in 2009 he presented his first voyage direct output and in 2010 he started selecting tracks for >voyage direct<, which presents a collection of his favorite producers & tracks. the saga of >voyage direct< continues

pom pom 34 continues where #33 left us off: dark, electric, without any info, techno! comes as double 12 inch in gatefold cover, all dressed in black.

played by jesse rose, mandy, karotte, lexy, seth troxler, sascha funke, ivan smagghe, dubfire... the producer and dj oliver koletzki and singer fran are still firmly riding on the fast track to glorious pop music. after the first single >arrow and bow< of their new album >lovestoned< they now release >echoes<, both as a maxi single with four different remixes and a vinyl edition that includes three of the remixes. but lets start with the original, which is easily one of the strongest and most powerful songs of the album. it is here where koletzkis background as a producer of house and techno meets with frans ability to create divine lyrics and perform them with her unmistakable voice.

our dutch counterpart onno is known for his dance floor mastery. his after school ep on upon you was a multifunctionalmover that could teach any lethargic raver a few aerobic moves. >hit me< is in the same league and is completely unsuitable for yoga and pilates, so hes succesfully targeted the blonde dance instructor once again. onno brings the a1 fatburner to a peak with his charming impertinence. thomas schuhmachers pimped version of this awesome rave stepper on b1 tugs and pulls at your pants dragging you kicking and screaming to the dance parquet, where you soon realize that you never want to leave, but for those of you that want to lose some weight also know that you always need to condition yourself and >ghetto talk< on b2 is the perfect bouncy tune for that hour or so on the treadmill.

firmly focussed on the dancefloor, the three-tracker is highly percussive and sample-ridden at heart. its a record where a sense of drama comes naturally, so to speak - be it the crackle of thunder in >thundercloud< or the brooding atmosphere in >out in the weather<. while the irish landscape is never far away, its the frenetic high-pitch of a children voice that informs the energy of title track >dramatic disposition<. techno with a pulse and heart and a twist!

naïf .. returnes on number 3 with two of efdemins favourite producers: nina kraviz and bodycode. nina kraviz, the restless dj and producer from moscow delivers a timeless house-track featuring her unique seductive vocals. her second contribution to this label is a reduced tool and is an integral part of efdemins dj-sets since almost a year. finally on vinyl, where it belongs. bodycodes track >a new species< was made in a rush in one early summer night in his apartment in ancient lisbon. like most of his music, this one opens the door to a new kind of music. yes, we are talking about the future here. two timeless tracks for your dj-bag, including acapellas of both tracks

limited white label release. 100 copies only. ever!! from luxembourg but now living in berlin, marc neyen delivers his first album esmeralda on archipel. this vinyl ep is an extract of two of the most touching tracks of his lp. children s corner is a song where marc shows his acute sense of expressing emotions through his jazz training he received in amsterdam. the song might remind you of villalobos or pronsato, but marc finds his personal interpretation to make this smooth, warm tech house song perfect for any moment where you need introspection in a bright way. i move alone shows marc s ability to guitar playing where he brings techno to whole new world with gentle melodies follows tech house grooves

brilliant. full radio support from me (laurent garnier)

jazzy instrumental deephouse tracks by blaze.

coloured vinyl! i met dwight in the desert of nowhere. we somehow knew we would be there at the moment where it took place. no surprise, i mean the crash. 3 times for them to finally got out of nowhere back into nowhere. while i was playing the flute dwight held a ritual, spreading energy through his voice. after the reboot, they took off immediately (i can swear something happened to the power plant controlà). for us it was like a b-movie, like all never happenedàbut the communication, talking to the spirits from language to language planet to planetàand the wind dont forget the wind. after we came home we wrote this oneà. rjc philpot presents this debut 12inch of the reboot joy confession - our brothers from nowhere! the title track is a mindbending spiritual journey hosting the fabulous dwight trible on some next level beatdown xtravaganca while the flip features the massive disconodisco 1999 and the equally heavy <funkin facets<. àmore than a proper statement and the beginning of the rjc aera!! >thanks for listening and purchasing a real copy!<

after a recent short n sweet stint on tensnakes mirau imprint irish ex-pat mano le tough reemerges on internasjonal where he first saw the light of the day as a producer with the much acclaimed warhorn. yet even with such a rather small, straightforward discography mano managed to sculpture his unmistakeably very own style fusing the deeper shades of house and techno with a strong melodic sensibility that one would never even get the faintest idea to file it under the mostly bland tech-house genre. oblique boast a perfect effective dramaturgy with slighty spooky broken melody box theme rising out of a thick mist of grinding chords before morphing into a deep acid finale. french gentlemen of distinction and many styles chateau flight toughen up the beats and throw in some african wood percussions and sparse psychedelic dub effects for a superb rhythmically multi-layered rework.

the original television soundtrack from >star trek<, taken from the pilots >the cage< and >where no man has gone before<.

umami who just collaborated with aka aka now join nicone with this late summer dancefloor smasher on side a: i come to you (incl. nicone remix)! umami who claim to make songs not tracks prove this on side b where they not only remixed nicones hanaetano but gave it an additional catchy vocal line. >im down on my knees<! limited to 500 picture sleeves!!

nice price deal !!! for their fifth release todd bodine (highgrade, treibstoff, mothership) joined the cologne based label klangfarbe schallplatten and created a high-quality ep, which is hard to find today. duplexer (a1) initially allocates with bongos in space, to furthermore stabilize itself with more bass, percussion and volume, which leads into a durable, massive flow that s willing to persist bigger club duties as well. alpha (b2) is structurized akin to duplexer, but celebrates the true force, the true might of minimal by the use of consistently repetition of beat- and sound patterns as also psychedelic acid-parts in good, old plastikman tradition. morning breeze on b2 finally starts warmer and more housy, in a deep and easy lean-back manner, to distinctly cool down after a while and to approach the previous tracks. after all, the from nowhere to somewhere ep constitutes an extremely coherent ep, where it s obvious, that all three tracks mate together - as they are

inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

tahloulas >we play house< in a remix incarnation by chris lattner is at last ready for release after figuring in charts and steadily garnering hype for more than a year. louise marie tüxens charming lyrics are sung on a morphing and modern house beat while a devastating organ-stab pushes the track on endlessly. a classic new york bass-line injects head-nodding and foot-tapping while small vocal snippets and fills create a layered floor-destroyer. a tune that easily could – and nearly did - stand alone, but to the luck of the listeners more is in store for them. emil & chesper, allows us the joy of putting out >the nigerian hustle<. dark and funky with rolling basslines and shadowy percussion, this track is heavily rooted in both berlins minimalism and detroits groovyness.to top off the good fortune is james braun & ubebes >neotony< – a percussion-oriented tech-house track reminiscent of chicago, where banging toms and vintage 808 claps all merge together to form a shining synergy, while blue chords and floating strings engulfs the listener.

first on decks.de !!! lust und freude musiks 6th release is produced by fausto messina from treviso, italy. well known within his countrys house scene, fausto is renowned for his legendary parties where he also started his dj career. his productions have already seen releases on wir, diynamic, big city beats, monique special, suara and international freakshow and have been licensed to sven vaeths >season eight< compilation.

stroboscopic artefacts rip into autumn with a masterful split vinyl. sa006 sees jonas kopp taking to the a-side with the punishingly good >alkitran< and the flip side picks up where the monad series left off with markus suckuts >vary<. >alkitran< writhes hissing and spitting into existence. snares lash across the opening, to be replaced by subaqueous grumbles and whirling from above. the title >alkitran> begs no translation, the tracks sticky, black palette and viscous textures effortlessly communicate the notion of tar. markus suckuts >vary> takes the opposite tact, his dark tones are built amid structures that are suffused with light and dappled with the grindingly ecstatic. this is superbly elegant techno that has refused to sacrifice any of its hardness in order to achieve elegance.

until now duffstep has hidden in the seedy undergrowth of london always in disguise, clandestine and covert, ever plotting his imminent escape. this bid for freedom then, is called >getting to sirius<. sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, in ancient greek times sirius was said to mark the beginning of summer, where women became aroused and men became weak. duffsteps debut album >getting to sirius< is a blend of dub influenced, down tempo beats winding through layers of melody, synths and vocals softening the blow and giving a nice, warm and fuzzy edge to the thick slabs of sonic concrete. though you dont have to wait long before a nice big bass-line knocks you down on your arse again.

alan abrahams is portable and this is his second 12inch for perlon. a pretaste of his forthcoming album, expected sometime in 2011 through this channel. after spending some time in london and berlin, alan recently moved to lisbon, where he continuously works on his very own definition of house. while the a-side, life magically is a stripped down mental monster, the b-side offers the perfect love song entitled >find me<.its all about soul and if you have the chance, we highly recommend portables current live show, its a trip!

the heat of summer into an urban canyons night of fresh air. in berlin. or manchester. maybe in budapest even. it is warm, but not that close and hot anymore. a soft wind blows through the leaves and ripples the surface of the small puddles the rain left on the streets. with relaxed enthusiasm a man walks up to his house where he will decant a well-tempered sangiovese while waiting for the woman with whom he will chat till dawn.
with three reworkings of one of their tracks from the full-length album >13<, the trio from manchester conjures such an atmosphere on their vinyl release on binemusic, inviting you to (day-)dream or relaxedly bob across the dancefloor. and maybe even bear the waiting time while stuck in traffic.

piemont have worked for the last months on the aspect of leaving the trail of minimal by injecting a stronger and more noticeable note of soul, without becoming one of those adult house guys who sound as if they skipped teenage nihilism in favour for a perfect sound.&#8232,,so please listen to chair or throne with its irresistible vocal snippet-collage, where three different sources of vocals clash with each other in a funky way... creating madness and deepness. this is a a techno house stormer for peak time moments!

marco bernardi marks his second outing on the dirty planet imprint with a 4 track ep bursting with emotion and originality. >i feel the lies< has a more laid back approach with deep and trippy grooves and evolving acidy stabs which are complimented with the unassuming and neatly placed vocal of detroit legend and aux88 founder keith tucker, making it one of those truly >special< tracks. second track >giro< (exium remix) is directed more towards the harder techno fans keeping the arrangement simple and the kick big and bold, this excellent remix has seen early support from surgeon with him choosing to feature it on the recently released fabric53 mix cd. flipping the record over sees two tracks exploring different sounds and moods. >msry< builds pace surrounded by an array of atmosphere, hissing percussion and lush detroit sounding synths where as killer track >giro< is a raw, off beat, electro monster laced with acid sequences and dirty bass.

the wise-woman clarissa is a figment escaped from the imaginations of andreaferlin and matteo spedicati. from her home at the very edge of the world, clarissa is master and maker of psycedelic rituals, orgiastic ceremonies and liberating chants. according to tradition, the encounter between the hazel duo occurs in the sand amongstthe looping, grooving sounds of a nearby dancefloor where music of such strong forces,sometimes tribal, sometimes psychedelic, compelling mortals into a gruelling dance thatfrees them evermore from sleep. first ep on sleep is commercial for clarissa hazel duo. face also sign the first appereance on sic of our friend ues.

dmom continues where it stopped with the outstanding release by avex axiom and its remix from dustin zahn: more than solid, floor-shaking techno. this time we head towards some italian connection and we are happy to present a very promising new talent from italy, ralph mirto, who delivers a true masterpiece of minimalized, but powerful techno with his >path<. also >deaths head< hits it perfectly and the remixer for >path<, sasha carassi, needs no more introduction meanwhile. releasing on world famous labels like 8 sided dice, harthouse or weave shows where he plays: on top! what a remix, you will love it!

one year later the label panacustica delivers a slamming second twelve inch rats mother followed by a brilliant prins thomas remix, plus a detroit inspired instrumental by stay gold, argentoÆs alter ego. the record opens with a dreamy version where a plucked string intro and rats voice drive you into a deep, cinematic, adult dance groove. this laid back, psychedelic track flows well beyond your usual dance floor act into eno-esque territories. prins thomass mix is faster, happier and jumpier. its an amazing balearic trip with a live warm feel to it in which a guitar plays along the melody, accentuating the spaced out feel of the track, lifting it into higher states. stay gold gives the listeners a techno version where sparse, mechanical drums and a minimized melody take us to the motor city (citta dei motori) for a night drive in the dark. own it, feel it, play it loud.

lump takes us on a deep and soulful journey in 4 episodes.

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!

charlton ravenberg is the dutch artist who signs the 4th great m_rec ltds vinyl. in this ep he has 4 tracks where he shows his full potential. in tracks such as >basterd< and >slow down< creates trip slow and hypnotic. in tracks like >backwards< and >forwards< trips are a little more techno with detroit school influences. its a release that will sure know more about the label and the artist for its modernity and its substance. big!

once again loeb hit you up with a truly unique and wonderful slice of dancefloor strangeness all the way from russia.id10ts (can be pronounced idiots) is a new experimental beats project that features andrei from alexandroid whose >short cuts< was one of the many overlooked masterpieces released on the lo recordings label some years ago, along with pavel who is art director of one of the best clubs in moscow and ilya who according to rolling stone (russian edition) is one of the top 5 guitar players in russia. so a whole heap of talent on one black disc.the original gold room track is an extended mystical meditation with a spoken intro courtesy of the legendary sun ra whose wise words lead you into a new musical world where skewed electronics glide over persistent beats and delicate guitars chime along with harmonic male vocals that recall brian eno, talking heads and maybe tarwater.on the flip the inimitable dj koze does his funky thing like only he can, turning the original into an essential piece of leftfield dance music that s perfect for summer.

our search for real club music gems has led us to hamburg, where a young man and his nord modular has been attracting our attention for quite a while now: benjamin brunn.
at least since his workshop005 release, he has modulated his way straight in our hearts. unlike other artists, he knows how to let his synthesizers speak and tells us little stories, while always searching for new romanticfrequency ranges. so >my heart< tells us a story, from the in-ear adapter straight into the heart.
