after the smash that was shatnereffekt one, handsette recordings return, bringing a host of diverse and super talented artists from around the world together on one massive ep and another essential array of electronic music.
kicking off the ep is kritical audios >spandex<, a tune that comes slow on the heels of the swedish duos 2006 braindance monster >krupp<. the swedish duo have come with an itchy slice of razor sharp electrofunk with a burbling acid bassline thats currently being caned by surgeon and rob hall (who says, i ve been playing the kritical audio track a lot. good stuff )... this is a big tune!
next up we have miles tilmanns >spirex< which starts with a wonky off beat that gives way to some wacked-out rubbery bassline action and a lead line that could have come from the keyboard hands of harold faltemeyer or parliaments bernie worrell.
following that is c. mantles >that other eden<. fearsome and delicate, morose and savage, >that other eden< is a serious piece of dancefloor heft with reese basslines burbling under a clattering beat before dropping away into a slightly terrifying double-drop breakdown.
unity gain temples >sahmo< rounds out the ep with a glistening, truly beautiful piece of work. the heavy kicks of the intro are met by a rush of lush chords and deft touches of melody, driving the track into a space that is pure audio luxury and reminiscent of brothomstates, arovane and tippers more contemplative moments.

mystery french producer (dimitri who??) with this cracking edits package!!!

sometimes a track is so hot it just has to come back around again. about ten years ago brett johnson and dave barker (stucco homes) wrote some unbelievably catching house tunes, one of them being temptation and lies. so it just seemed right to give this track yet another life. deadbeat and mike shannon dive deep into a stripped down techno groover, removing the constant use of the vocals and creating a rolling techno dub version. some seriously deep bass in the production that works the subs in all the right places. ernesto ferreyra and guillaume coutu dumont aka chic miniature give you a playful melodic version on the flip. full use of the original chord progressions, combined with the guys signature marimba/latin percussion leaving you with a lush, warm summer hit. then brett dives into the track again giving you the oohs and ahhs mix. a ten minutes work out with bjs patented groove focused on the vocal harmonies in the original. the result is a warped, spaced out, long player that is sure to twist a few heads. mental just about sums it up. of course we had to include the original masterpiece for those who didnt find it the first time round. a favorite of everyone involved on the remix project i think youll agree that the temptation and lies cynosure mixes do the original some justice.

teaming up with the legend that is francois dubois. the first time the pair have worked together since the labels first release. the pair turn out a devastating house workout. deep warm synths, and heavy, killer keys, create a wonderfully moody, traditional workout, ready for all floors. on the flip, h turns to irish don and barcelona resident chymera, who turns in an electrified version of the original. injected with more pace and power than the original, the elements from the lead track hit he floor with added urgency. a great tech-infused cut, that will find favour across the board.

before you dive in the regular sales fodder i would like you to ask yourself this question: what if humans arent the only living creatures who can create & enjoy art...? well, meet a true & genuine artist at heart and take a minute for michaels story. totally moved and inspired by the life & work of michael, the silverback gorilla who talked sign language who unfortunately passed away in 2000 after a fatal heart failure, ronny & renzo produced this incredible song me, myself, good after the same titled painting by the hand of the late and great michael... may he rest in peace. ronny & renzo their original version is a 9 minute+ moving epic that not only looks back in sadness at the pain & horror michaels life started with when poachers killed his mother in front of his eyes. it equally celebrates the love & comfort, the guidance & protection he enjoyed while he and koko were adopted and lovingly raised by dr. penny patterson and dr. ron cohn. because of the serious and delicate nature of this tribute release we couldnt think of anyone more appropriate than dance exotica pioneers quiet village to perform the remix. these two extraordinary gentlemen lead you by the hand into the heart of darkness, to a meditative place somewhere deep in the jungle only they know of... after more than a year of silence, a new king kung foo release sees the light of day throwing the label right back in the leftfield disco game. these amazing recordings will not only have their impact on an ecstatic dancefloor but will also be the ideal soundtrack to a lazy sunday. enjoy! pressed on a limited quantity of 1000 copies and no chance for a repress, this desirable twelve inch with powerful cover art will be sold out in no time. but the most important thing here is that koko needs your help! so for each copy sold a part of your money goes to the gorilla foundation.

almost two years after his highly acclaimed debut, fabian bussmann is back with a release on debox. and the waiting was worthwhile! sometimes i m invisible is a remarkable piece of work and shows a recognizable advancement in fabians production skills. >or else< on the a- side is predestinated to be played on a big sound system: dark, athmospeheric, reverberated with lots of freaky delays and effects and equipped with a powerful bassline the track creates a tension that will surely massively discharge on the dancefloors this summer. the remix on the b- side was created by bastian buesser who recently attracted a lot of attention with his releases on debox and endlich elektro. buessers interpretation of the track is a deeper, more playful approach of the theme. without touching the basic structure of the track he constructs a more relaxed, athomospheric vibe, taking back the tempo and adding a new bassline to the adaption. the title track >sometimes i m invisible< clearly distinguishes from the the a- side and presents a different side of fabians work coming along with a groovy bassline and lots of percussive elements.

computor rockers return after the worldwide hit that was computor interface (brk49) with another showcase of exactly how electro should be put together. all too often retro can mean dull and uninspired (or just lame plagiarism), but anyone who has been following ed dmxs career over the last several years will know that really isnt the way he plays the game. instead he understands the value of songs and melody... the beats are fresh, without a doubt, but it will usually be the tune or the lyrics that will hook you into a dmx production, the elements that turn just another electro track into something unique and valuable. and so it proves here, from the classic computor shock (which helpfully comes in vocal and instrumental versions for those who just cant do the voice thing) to the melodic and hooky electro-funk of how we used to rock and distributed processing. stunning as always!

limited restock on this 1997 ovum release, featuring remixes by angel morales, harry romero and junior sanchez aka nitebreed, cloak going downtempo and jamie myerson himself, who turns the house into drum and bass.

much sort after mash ups/remixes from those cheeky guys at the bye label. a massive rework of the classic alcatraz from swedens axwell on the flip we have the dean coleman (aka scumfrog) & nima nas remix of la rouxs in 4 the kill! who knew that axwell & coleman drive a van in south london?

the original instrumental mix of stardust was one of hed kandis favourites at el divino last summer, and with the new season already taken off with the ims and the opening fiestas last week, ibiza is the perfect place to drop the new vocal mix, which really sounds like the long awaited vocal version of pjanoo that has never seen the lights of the day. this adds a monster loleatta holloway sampling vocal to the large twisted disco groove of the original. a massive bomb that is set to be a big hit for the usuals! skylarks andy chatterley takes to the controls with a powerful interpretation, complete with sharp driving drums and an underlying techno rhythm. a more stripped down dub mix is enclosed also for those who like things a little bit darker and deeper. last but no by means least, tim hudson, fresh from his latest here comes the sun release on hysterical, turns in a hypnotic house groove to make you smile.

enough of this featuring crap, the starring title seems much more appropriate for club siren luciana. as featured vocalist for bodyrox, the hits yeah yeah and planet topped club charts and led to her cheekily titled debut cd featuring luciana. further tracks with mark knight, super mal and martijn ten velden, have cemented lucianas spot as an electro vixen who can deliver hot vocals with a great track. turning her attention stateside, she has teamed up with richard vission & static revenger for i like that. remixes come from new boys meterhead who hail from la and are doing big things in blogland. the track seemlessly blends electro, glitch, rock and hiphop elements with an 80s feel that is both nostalgic and futuristic. limited edition promo get em while you can!!

this time the machine calls upon detroit hero gary martin (aka gi gi galaxy) to do the business. garys clean production style and attention to simple rhythms have defined who he is. this definition is reworked and slanted by the talents of andy garcia on the remix, so as usual, cryovacs components work together to exist, so that our music may evolve.

the first release of the label baud from roger23, who until now was at home at playhouse and volt musik, but also shined with his contribution to the rüts series on meakusma. room with a view pt.1 is a very conclusive and consequent ep, but never seems trivial.

the mind melt keeps melting. pretty soon we will just be puddles of freaky essential oils, reduced down to our effervescent essence, like jasmine, or dry kool-aid. of course we are talking about onur Ízers album kasmir, the gift that keeps on giving. once again renowned artists have come out in full force reworking selected tracks off onurs album for vakants remix-only vr. first up is mr. rajko m³ller, better known as isolÚe, who having spent some time growing up in algeria, continues with the african remixer theme (tunisian born loco dice remixed eclipse on part 1. you know us, as if we even need an excuse to work in africa somehow.) isolÚe takes onurs otherwise chilling innervoice and reinterprets it into a thick warm blanket of reassuring bounce. flipping the record inverts dimensions of time and space. abyssfully deep legend baby ford takes the already ethereal aida and turns it into the soundtrack for finding the god particle. its scary, yes, but ultimately it could explain everything.

disconet was created as subscription program service, which professionally selected and mixed disco music for discotheque djs, mobile discos and radio stations. disconet is called as the granddaddy of all remix services and provided mixed/segued dj dance sets, not only to make the djs job a little bit easier, but to expose club goers to new music. the djs spinning at the height of the disco era were given access to a new creative tool - a different interpretation of current dance tunes to wow club goers. originally, the disconet records were to be issued on a monthly basis which were limited to 1000 - 1500 copies of each volume. the first disconet record was released in october 1977. disconet team at that time was: tom savarese, bobby dj guttadaro and kevin guilmet as well as mike wilkinson. tom, bobby and kevin were dj legends, who had already been awarded with the dj of the year title by billboard. these greatest hits volumes contain their finest work, the original licensed disco edits of all the floor fillers of the time that have been re issued for your listening pleasure. expect many more volumes in the near future.

you might remember collen & webb who from one of the early gamm releases (the jamaican jerk off). the boys are now back with two hot reworks on soul diva pauline?s hit single ?give me a call?. for fans of the soulful philly sound we recommend the ?soulful smash? version which rides on the o?jays ?back stabbers? sample. but if u?r into the amy winehouse sound u definitely need to check the ?northern smash? version with its jazzy loops and fierce rhythms. btw, watch out for more collen & webb action on gamm later this year...they got sum hot motown stuff in their trunks!

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!

mushrooms project are giorgio giri and marco lentano who met back in 2003. their inspiration has come from the idjut boys and the mateo & matos duet. in 2008 the pair had their first production signed by london’s bear funk records. hortly after a new demo arrived at electric minds who were quick to snap up their latest ep for the label. >space mushrooms<, >wilkommen< and >special guest in the camping< are newly created tracks with live instruments throughout. the baleraric and techy sounds provide an original and new sound for the ever growing house / nu disco scene. as an added bonus to this package a remix from toby tobias ( rekids, tiny sticks ) has been commissioned. . check out the sounds for yourself !

olmeto, a small town in corsica, is infamous as the birthplace of the family vendetta. we chose the name as it has an air of mystery but also a bit of fire. we felt that we wanted a label with us as the only artists free to do what we want, how we wantà this is release number 23. all have been ours, and range across the house spectrum, vocal, minimal, tech and deep and probably a little of each in all. the raw road and madagaskar whilst different, are made from the same mood. a strong rhythm with elements brought in and out, like a good dj, you lock the groove and then begin to play around it. although all tracks are by us, we do bring in artists we like to remix from time to time. the raw road will be remixed by mark broom and nic fanciullli and they will join artist such as loco dice, green velvet and unkle who have both remixed tracks over the course of the label.

sven tasnadi is a producer who, with every release, audibly and gracefully takes his style down the many different avenues of house and techno cityà his latest, brave work for poker flat then could perhaps be described as a midnight drive down main street, tempted by and lingering at some of the darker side streets, yet journeying on regardlessà.! its a fantastic ride from tasnadi, that sees two versions of the title cut plus a perfect b side track included for good measure. >habanero< is a tough, tracky concoction of thick bass led percussion, warbling, building sci-fi synths and classy hi-end hats. the unmistakable groove begins low and simply builds upwards, creating a 10 minute cabride through ultra-modern tech house, cuba style! we wont spoil the fun with the tingling breakdowns key momentà but theres also a (without trumpet) version on the b1à.! carrying on the chunky, dramatic vibes, >piri piri< dubs things out as a blissful and unique synth line carries this beautiful journey track along its honest and respectful path. a wonderfully resolute deeper moment from tasnadi, the phasing vocal stutters and pads play together with the central in delightful harmony, reminding us of the producers ear for touching and timeless arrangements

this special release is dedicated to detroit dj legend ken collier. his untimely passing touched me personally as he was one of a small few who supported my music and me. because of ken collier, detroit developed a dance scene, which inspired artists & producers to make dance records, which gave birth to techno, which has provided careers for so many of you in the business today. so i dare ask all you techno producers, djs, record labels, record shops, clubs which play techno music and fans of techno to pay respect to ken collier just as you would our other fine music innovators. however, this special compilation isn t about techno, it s about h.o.u.s.e sound - broadcasting it to you from live inside the st-er-eo. this record contains no artist or track listing because i don t want this to be about who made the tracks, track titles, or even who wrote this commentary. this is my personal tribute to him, and how he has motivat ed me to make my contributions to house music. thank you ken collier, for helping me grow, not just as a dj or a record producer, but also as a person. every dj and dance artist here in detroit owes thanks to you for going out into the musical forest, chopping down trees and paving the way for us to build house.
