this record is just so wooow it hurts to close the gap. it s like it says on the tin of cliches: >the definition< is giving you a concise description of where soul clap, the humorous boston-based house duo, is heading. well, not quite: more where they have arrived, actually. they have found their style. eleven out of ten! this is light years away from the sick >puppy crack< anthem that left you with wobbly legs. get ready to be completely overwhelmed as the sassy producers beamed themselves into futuristic groove heavens while staying firmly grounded on the proto 90s floor. right on!

a temporary sabbatical from gigs was taken and the band wrote material for where were you when it happened in new orleans midtown district, where their rawboned compositions resembled the katrina-pummeled surroundings. with their girlfriends with them in as close to a stableenvironment as they d been in months, they were able to tap a darker, more personal side in songs like as noise, and hunt you down, with its mournful, organ drenched air belying monotonixs typical good time charlie posturing, while fulfilling the albums need for a climactic, balladic moment. where were you when it happened? finds monotonix visiting a greater diversity of places within their sound while still retaining their minimal appeal. mostly though, where were you when it happened works up a sweat with raw rock and roll, acid guitar licks and riffs, screaming choruses and, in general, the wildness of monotonix in a way that makes for repeated album listening (and pummelling). where most bands refine their production sound as they go forward, monotonix have reverse refined themselves, playing dirtier and more energetic to capture the lightning they are known for.

roxour is proud to present fresh music from r-04, a very talented mid 20 boy from downtown tokyo. for r 04 things started about 10 years ago when testing out his first syntheziser. from japanese fascination of composing and living game music soon he was fascinated by the magic of detroit techno. aside from that, he plays on the grand piano with that jazzy - and funkyness of an early stevie wonder. r-04s music is reflecting the city where he comes from. he says many tall inorganic buildings and night scene always inspire me. his first official release gazing at the moon is somewhere between jazz and techno. its a kind of tribute to the so called chu shu no meigetsu convention, the autumn time in japan, when no one can ignore the beauty of the big shiny full moon. also i composed this track meaning that we had better keep emotional leeway to enjoy the full moon no matter how busy we are. patrick alavis ace remix is turning the jazz and detroit techno rooted original into a deep roller.

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

the 2nd ep vinyl preview of the highly anticipated italoboyz full length bla bl bla (out in september) on mothership. not everyone is aware that both marco and fede migrated north to london from italy several years ago. this move has influenced their sound, hence the where is london? ep this ep also marks the start of their new live instrumentation work. where is london draws its title from a big ben sample put in reverse, but it also features experimental live piano work (piano strings struck with paper mallets) re-twisted into their addictive drum patterns. on the other side, lanagramme features salvador dalis voice and the interesting dual piano work of their good friend angelo. italoboyz are always pushing the boundaries and testing the limits of traditional dance-floor music and this is no exception.

after releasing numerous classics such as novamens >lies< (with mr.pauli), the hasbeens >make the world go away< (with alden tyrell) and dreamdiscos >take me home<, the >dose< is back with another haunting solo lp on strangelife records. and this might very well be overdoses magnus opus so far. beautifull filmic melodies and tr808 beats tell us stories where charles bronson and john carpenter deal with sopranos mobstyle adventures somewhere in a cold war 70s timeframe. tragic, defeatistic drama only overdose can deliver!

kyle geiger has enjoyed a rapid rise up the techno ranks thanks to two very well received releases on adam beyer s world famous drumcode label and a handful of high-profile remixes including reworks for marco bailey s mb elektronics label, la techno dons droid recordings and of course perc trax, where his recent remix of material object won the support of joey beltram, paco osuna, xpansul, laurent garnier, nihad tule, ivan smagghe, michel de hey and many more.

this will be a big one in both techno and disco circles... do not sleep!
subdance is proud to announce their debut ep by the italian techno music legend lory d! last year we already heard some brand new things from lory, when, after 6 years without any new releases, he published two new twelve inches on the scottish label wireblock. æplisskenÆ on subdance is another stroke of genius from the roman as he comes up with two more classic examples of his unmistakable trademark sound, sombre and enigmatic, disturbing and fascinating, euphoric and energetic, powerful and direct! the a sideÆs æbank robberyÆ is a fresh interpretation of the track of the same name from john carpenter s æescape from new yorkÆ soundtrack. lory musically transports carpenterÆs apocalyptic visions of the last days into the new millennium. the brooding bass line and haunting atmospheres push the listener to an otherworldly dimension. this is loryÆs own masterpieceà lory d in technicolor and cinemascope! the b sideÆs ædisso bassÆ aims for the dance floors immediately. a perfect techno-electro track where exploding synthesizer cascades meet fragile melodies and archetypal lory d bass lines, each with a mind of their own. redshape, another techno music legend, is responsible for the mastering of both tracks. amazing stuff!

with electric rescue, the french dj d jedi, who is known all over paris, becomes a part of the cocoon family. he is connected with the development of techno in france already since the beginning of the nineties. despite being busy as a producer for commercials and soundtracks, he always finds some time to release exciting electronic music on imprints such as f comm, communique, elp media and paul nazcas label scandium, where he has released his debut album >el.ue< three years ago. with the two tracks on >the darkest star<, electric rescue succeeds in the daring feat of transforming the energy of rave tracks from the early nineties into the present time without producing an anachronistic impression. besides a tectonically shaking bass drum, the title track relies on the power of sound, a superlative of raw club energy with a twist of irony, which can set a surprising climax with a steadily rising noise level, even after almost ten minutes. >the devils dance< is grafting a comparably brute state-of-emergency techno in a somehow restrained way, rhythm-wise, but is no less effective with its distinctive acid sound effects. and who said that modern techno cant use the tradition of belgian rave-signal-floor-burners?

delusions hits the spot once again with number 3, this time highlighting the production skills of a certain zepp001. the seattle based disco obsessive has been leaking out high class edits over the years under a dizzying array of deliberately forgettable pseudonyms but feels the time is right to push his original tracks. who better then to make these beauties available for you discerning djs than delusions of grandeur. dont sleep is a dark, brooding groover with throbbing bass, cute cuica fills and intense strings that lalo schifrin would be proud of. a real heavy mood setter and as good an introduction to the sound of zepp001 as you re likely to need. next up we have the mighty revenge in for remix duties on dont sleep. the much hyped master of the edit keeps the vibe of the original well and truly in place but opts for an even more stripped back approach leaving all the space for crisp claps, slowly building strings and bowel wobbling bass. flip over for giraffe, a more upbeat affair where the filtered keys come to the fore and things steer in a hyped up deep house direction. show your luv...

intimacy is paul woolford s own label, which will see him experiment and innovate whilst simultaneously hitting the dancefloor where it hurts with no-nonsense, club-destroying house & techno, custom designed for deployment in basements, warehouses & systems the world over. after making waves and critical acclaim with his superlative reworking of morgan geist s the shore on environ, plus some fevered experimentation over the last year, paul woolford returns directly to the dancefloor with 4 tracks custom built to rock basements & warehouses the world

stephan laubner s stl project returns on his something imprint with another great, deep and soulful vinyl release where he illuminates even more corners of his universe. retro stylish melodies between raw and rough house beats with the unstoppable affectation for long evolving grooves. these tracks easily break through the sound barrier and moving supersonically on dancefloors and places beyond. a voyage, which has it s roots in the dark. at a place where spirit comes from. music out of the inner galaxy where emotions and thoughts get born, all captured and channeled through oldschool equipment direct to your speakers. these sounds are part of something. something you can not see, but somehow, you know it s definitely there. get inside, and enjoy the unseen voyage.

infine celebrates with its xviith black chrome release the advent of the town and its >new innerstate strategies<, packages douglas best deep, house and techno beats and features the voice of 2009 springs awakening! the >tofu on ice edit<, a-side of the 12 inch, synthesizes german deep-house sound at its best. led by percussive beats, the voice of delhia reaches the heights of the stomping pleasures without losing the refinement of the original version. on the b-side, >sapphire< is a track which fully deserves its name. as hard on the dancefloors as the peak time should sound like. as blue as an unleashed sea, where dizzying waves break into bubbling beats, spreading the most compelling techno foam.

this is the fourth release of the future roots series, the trials and tribulations of the first three download releases overwhelmingly convinced producer dj deep that a vinyle series was of an utmost necessity to authenticate the project..the aventure thus starts here..future roots is dedicated to new talents and is a subdivision of deeply rooted house .....future roots is very happy to welcome english artist alexander ross to the label. born in sheffield and now residing in berlin after a number of years traveling and working throughout the world, ross credits his formative years in his birth town with its rich, diverse musical history and world renowned community of passionate musicians and promoters as his greatest influence and the place where the foundations where laid for his dedicated and inevitably lifelong relationship with quality music in all of its many forms. ross first official release earlier this year on these days records saw him collaborate with greek artist argy on the hugely powerful see no evil which gained widespread praise from a broad range of djs and fans of the label alike. the apparent line...ep is made up of three spacial, driving drum tracks which draw influence in equal parts from alexander ross interest in reverb washed dub, deep techno and the cyclic, rolling grooves of percussive african music. the pieces utilise tight dynamic rhythms and expansive, echoing reverberations to create three striking and effective moments. support from carl craig, josh wink, laurent garnier, loco dice, argy, manuel tur, martin landsky, manoo & more!

taken from the drumattics forthcoming album hammer & tongs comes back to the old school. a piano driven, hands in the air tribute to where it all began. with bambaata influenced strings to take us from the old school to outer space. the aa is drum thunder, with compelling orchestral stabs that drive right to the heart of this belting underground workout. a signature bassline squelches around the lead vocal, before an almighty breakdown twists the glitch to the max and propells us straight through the nearest dancefloor.

after the brilliant albums by alex cortex, cim and lucky & easy, now the swedish volunteer dribs comes with this warm brilliant debut album. the ann aimee label specialises in warm, originally crafted, electronica sounds. where the two first albums had a touch of the detroit sound, the album by lucky & easy and this new album by dribs go more along the lines of plaid, autechre and boards of canada. the full sleeve artwork for this release comes again by delta.inc, who gave all releases of the label their remarkable outfits! as introduced with his blending ep, dribs is the newest scout on board. dribs, on earth known as fredrik stling, comes with this full 12 track album with beautiful carefully crafted electronica. all tracks come in gentle and easy, and in sound come most close to arovane or boards of canada. intruiging rhythms, together with the soft beautiful melodies, make this a perfect listening album for the autumn and winter to come. beautiful

the enclave of both established artists and fresh undiscovered talent whose shared passion of deep underground detroit influenced house and disco are reflected in the quality output you will come to expect from the label. franc spangler, the revenge, zepp001, john daly, alpha child, 6th borough project, tuccifunk and pezzner are just some of the producers creating their work with tender loving care for delusions. dog01 will be setting the standard with the soul part ii from craig smith & the revenge. these boys are currently riding a wave of successful releases, mainly in the form of their disco and boogie edits under their 6th borough project guise on instruments of rapture. here we see them move into original production territory with a bass heavy slice of brooding and grooving floor friendly house but with their own unique twist. tempos are kept low, drums are kept live sounding and the subtle italo synth lines all ensure this track keeps true to their roots in disco. for their 6th borough project dub they dive head first into a slowly building, drum and percussion heavy workout which has a beautiful tension to it. this is music for small basements with big sound systems. finally we have john dalys beautiful interpretation where he opts for a blissed out, understated and hypnotic sound that wraps you up in layers of warm, echoing synths whilst the groove chugs along masterfully. a true mood setter or after hours classic

the final record from oakland, cas psychedelic quartet, the gris gris, was recorded live at the warehouse where greg ashley resides. the twilight had come and the fat lady sang. the final bell tolled for the brightest sons of the oaklandish psychedelic revolution. here is the final piece to that hazy, mysterious, yet strangely familiar sound this band created. with songs from both records played with ferocity and sonic mayhem, the story of the gris gris is here. bright. swirling. gnarly. electric...

french artist, lee van dowski of num and cadenza lowers eyes and draws lips to partial smirks with his charming and witty release. „the variable man,“ based on the title of a science fiction story series from the 50’s, is brilliantly transmitted through a tunnel of sound engineering and audio design by lee van dowski. lee’s electronic rendering of „the variable man,“ distinguishes several dominant male voices accumulating a rhythmic momentum to the peak of the track, a peak where an orgasmic flow just stops short of the central explosion, fundamentally, fading the instrumentals before revamping again. the b-side of the track, „thomas coles lives,“ co-produced by agnès, comes alive with a fascinating mix of symbols and keyboards. „the variable man“ is lee’s second release on leena music, after his first 12“, „louder elvis,“ in collaboration with agnès appeared on leena in 2008. both tracks express very minimalistic tones yet are characterized by rather divergent
