two tracks which have been tested to satisfaction in live sessions around the globe during the last months, loved by the girls, envied by the boys, two dense character studies of epic scale where every small detail morphs into a very hookline, relaxed and ambitious at the same time. yep, this guy could even produce a soundtrack to a speck of dust and still everybody would think it’s star wars.

fresh from his recent 24/7 recording sessions comes this ultra powerful double sider destined to blow your headz and keep yer feet dancing on a never ending story. no need being a musicologist to realize where gigolo takes his major influences from sounding like a blatant contemporary response to disco don giorgio moroders classics with a deep cinematic emphasis as created by the synth lines. meanwhile klubhead takes where those ultra magnetic grooves which would make the reputation of the zanzibar such as underground solutions luv dancin or dee dee braves my my lover left in the beginning of the nineties.

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

phil kieran is back again with >missp< on cocoon recordings and continues consistently where he stopped with his contribution to the compilation g: groovy, dark, technoid – a sound that, from time to time, reminds of some fog & strobo parties in the mid-nineties. an electroid bass line and a fascinating drum roll go straight ahead and its still the fine sounds in between that make the music and the rhythm. a track which is perfect for the prime time

when i first started making the drum on my mpc it sounded like a battle of drums i then added some stabs from the machines, trying to make it sound like the oldschool chicago tracks. this track is all about editing, drum programming and of course the inimitable tap repeat touch that only the mpc can generate. the end result is ninted house, a pure floor killer for all you real house heads. the clash is not a reference to the band but i felt the track goes well with ninted house it has the same mpc groove. stabs and hip hop sampled voices that remind us of those kind of tracks, where editing and sound mixing are more important than the musical elements. its that breadth in house music that i love. enjoy those two floor killers and dance ur ass off! franck roger
