2011 is going very well for shlomi aber, having started the year with his dj sneak collaboration on be as one, followed by his acclaimed double album-remixes pack on ovum which are still all over the charts and dj boxes. now shlomi is back on his own label and takes things into a summery mood with the opening track >coconuts<, which is built around an hypnotizing synth melody, and shlomis uplifting smooth drums . on the other side is >who said that<, a rare vocal cut from shlomi which is a proper groover on the floor, with its minimalistic architecture but effective elements, surely something that will be picked up by many

onno is a highly dosed dancing pill, pop one and your rubber legs turn into those of fred astaire. his last release already proved that he knows how to make you put yo hands up in da air! now, heres his latest little treat >hablando loco ep< upon you number 048. the title track opens with some sweet vocals and then drills into your a1 memory banks with the spanish monolog from el commandante. on b2 hes quite content with the few words : >i like that beat<. but onno likes the repetetive use of vocals like a fitness trainer trying to squeeze that last drop of sweat out of you. gavin herlihy, who some of you know from cocoon, takes a subtler approach to the track with his remix that writhes in the scented oils that is house-deepness.

max essa is a producer who has been shipping over his extremely coveted brand of disco and balearica from the land of the rising sun for some time now. having had a long running string of sought after releases on labels such as bear funk, nang, to is it balearic, max is now making his needwant debut with >how do you feel?< which includes an awesome remix from kim ann foxman

this latest lovebirds ep on winding road records is another absolute masterpiece of chilled house soul and deep rave. a really excellent package and a must-have lovebirds release. on the a-side track, >want you in my soul<, lovebirds teams up with vocalist stee downes. stees acclaimed debut album >all in a day< was released on sonar kollektiv in 2008, and who has worked and performed alongside the likes of motor city drum ensemble, amp fiddler, dj spinna, and bugz in the attic. their collaboration for winding road is a driving vocal house bomb that will rock your world. the b-side kicks off with the dirty tech tune >give me a dubf*ck<, an injection of dark rave that has been causing serious explosions on dancefloors for a few months now. perfect chemical material for the harder floors. the b2 track is hot toddys remix of >want you in my soul< - a chrome-plated disco dimension to the track by crazy p man chris todd, which was licensed to tensnakes >in the house< compilation before it even saw the light of day. hot stuff indeed.

yam who?s ism label come through with a four track slice of disco centric futurism, featuring the man yam himself alongside pbr streetgang and ron basejam. its the latter who takes the lead with a remix of alenas >changes< that sees her sultry vocal teased by a most excellent of analogue synth leads that splurges brilliantly across the crisp mid tempo chug. yam who? teams up with vocalist natasha watts for the similarly bottom heavy bump of >i m in love< which has a certain warehouse appeal to it. on the flip, pbr pay respect to the godfather of soul james brown with the gritty flex of >j2thab< with the sadly departed mr brown strangely sounding at times like he wants to go to tesco. we always took him for a waitrose man, but regardless this is probably the track you will reach for most! finally brothers young do their thing to a trammps classic, with little more than the bassline retained.

a1: just cant get enough - funky track. really cool disco feel, easy going. proper funky vibe, cool bass and a great vocal!
b2: someday - really smooth track. killer vocals, nice bass and beautiful brass! awesome!

yambee! is the first collaboration between dancefloor giants ashley beedle and yam who?. chemical love is an epic sampledelic jazz dancer with detroit overtones (think theo parrish or moodymann) thats sure to mash up any dance. natural off is a lysergic disco monster which gives a nod to the hard times we are living in. this will be the first of a series of yambee! 12inch platters that will be coming out on ashleys out hear audio imprint.

such is the importance of russells contribution to the modern music scene that many consider his work to be untouchable but several modern day producers have carefully picked out key elements of his songs whilst recording entirely new and up to date soundtracks. yam who?, faze action, singer mary moore, nycs pocketknife have worked hard to create entirely new instruments and vocals with additional remix work coming from radio slave. in addition peter gordon who worked with arthur russell on many of the original releases has collaborated. adding his musicianship to the newly created cover of >go bang<. further collaborations from arthurs friends and musicians, steven hall & joyce kirby, also provide a new version of >lucky cloud< which is produced by nycs pocketknife.

the three tracks for this release go through a wide range of our sound. >cyclone< by samuel dan and feygin is a throwback to the way dirtybird records sounded back in 2006, raw and fun with big drums. but >cyclone< sounds amazing compared to the sound quality of some of those old records we all love, a definite update to the old db vibe. b-jus >babbel net< is his follow-up appearance to last years bomb track >my sneakers< that all of us played 1000 times. this is more in the smooth 808 style of dirtybird while still giving you some punch and melody. this record works really well for me and this groove crossover into a house set no problem. last but not least is maelstroms >you play<. this is a real monster, not so much for the house heads but instead for those of you who like to cross genres and explore the bass regions during your sets. definitely not your friendly deep house record this one is a real db banger in the tradition of big dirty bass we love here in san francisco.

emerson todds second release on upon you. the likable new zealander who moved to berlin via australia seems to spend his nights dreaming of the homelands. the cover and title of release number 046 are both inspired by the original natives of new zealand. emersons specially crafted sound is somewhere in-between jungle and metropolis , wild with details yet still beautifully melodic. the a1 track, >you got to< proves that a piano can kick you and a lovely little digital-topping can then combine everything into sweet dub-ness. as to be expected, the b-side is also alive with the artists agility and perfectly timed and placed thing and what-nots to turn any dance floor into an intense experience

repress in black vinyl... clone west coast series continues with more hot releases! after tyrell and mr pauli its the hasbeens (tyrell & overdose) who deliver the heat!. this is as big as you can get it! we could do a lot of talking about the track and the daily struggle of human beings etc... but just listen. top production leaning on classic italo but in a new modern jacket with sharp production... the clone west coast sound :-) simply irresistible

after an impressive debut with thugfuckers >disco gnome<, life and death returns for round two as it once again gives us its slightly psychedelic after-hours take on dance pop. here it s with a remix ep that features two stellar remixes of danish band whomadewho. the first remix comes from tale of us, the young italian duo who were quickly recognized for their incredible remix of disco gnome and who are already being recognized as one of the most promising new electronic acts to come out of italy in the last 5 years. the second remix comes from michael meyer, a pillar of dance music and an outstanding producer who truly needs no introduction. with a dreamy voice and haunting melodies that creep into your brain and stay there until well after the lights have come back up, >every minute alone< seems set to establish the new label as strong voice leading the charge into new territories along the borderline of dance and pop.

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe

incl fred falke remixes

with the release of ruede hagelsteins >emergerncy< souvenir released one of the floorfillers of 2010: >emergency< has been hailed as one of the best singles of the year in the reader polls of groove, de:bug, resident advisor and many more. no wonder why! ruede hagelstein knows how to treat an after-party stomper. >emergency< is the perfect early morning pick, the sun shines on his bongos, the nonsense raves with his lyrics, the horns roar with delight, and a plane flies over a crowd of happy, sleepless dancers. due to popular demand for this record souvenir now brings you this fabulous tune once again, remixed super flu and re.you. re.you once again proves why souvenir loves his music with his outstanding remix and super flu who are feliks thielemann & mathias schwarz perfectly proove their philosophy: >lots of herzblut and a great traum behind, nothing can harm you anymore….!<

big with dj koze, superpitcher, julius steinhoff, dorian paic, marc schneider, sven vt, melon any many more... maybe i should give it another chance? i could go early in the morning... maybe the party isn t the real highlight... maybe i am just longing for the condition before and after... maybe i am just tired, maybe i need a little push... who said party anyway? i did... but i also said maybe

matt tolfeys cutting edge, underground uk base house and techno label leftroom, prepare to release the commemorative 20th leftroom release with fantastic new distribution! this four track 12inch ep features several artists who are closely linked with the label and have come together to contribute something special to this great ep.

this is the third single taken from boohgaloo zoos devastatingly good self-titled debut album. >i got< is a relentless disco groover while >come to this< is a slow-mo exotica house bomb (whatever that may mean) with some hints of exotica. two fat and funky joints. this time, the remixes are courtesy of mugwump and aardvark. mugwump takes the original and turns it into an electrifying discoid tour de force. aardvark does his thing, which lately means taking a song, and giving it an electronic shock treatment. those who like forward thinking electronic music will go bananas for this one. post >nameyourfavourite<?

2017 repress, wlb with some serious edit business! its emo edit time!

aaah lovely dovely, its that time of year again, the city is covered in snow, chestnuts are a roastin and wee little elves are working away busily pressing the annual home sweet home compilation for your listening and dancing pleasure. yep, its nearly that time of year again, the famed hsh new years rave at the arena/treptow in berlin is just around ye corner. yay! this year we have invited some dj and producer friends from berlin that are playing at the party to contribute to the compilation too! the lovely frenchmen shonky who has played at a few of our shindigs since moving to berlin and is known for his funky techno style has even named his track on a1 >madame moustache<, how very sweet ! snapping at his heels on b2 is our good friend from way up north (maybe he knows santa) and also a berlin resident agaric with his kicking track >after it all< which we are very pleased about. the flipside features some of our homies jens bond and tigerskin with a furious track on b1 followed by nico stojan our little bar 25 flirt with a nice melodic house track on a2 to round things off nicely.

the latest from thesongsays brings back one of our main players - bruno pronsato. whats he been up to you might ask? aside from completing his album lovers do, working on music with thomas melchior and daze maxim and putting out records as pubic lover with our leading lady ninca leece, not much… maybe hes been in the rafters sipping coffee or understudying for bigger roles. who knows. nonetheless he’s back. these two new tracks come from his upcoming lp, lovers do. its a single, sort of. but not really. because when has bruno ever done a single like we know a single? this 12-inch is about as far as you could get from club fodder. rather, its a pair of subtle grooves to soundtrack you cutting carrots, sipping whiskey, or dancing at some intimate afterhours spot

heres the next installment of our edit series. although is it an edit - can you spot the samples and who or who actually did it (if indeed it is an edit) ? limited edition run of 500 copies on clear vinyl.

12 inch from yam who? on the demo disc imprint. side a: hi steppin yam who? rework >> brilliant reworking of classic track hi steppin, very chilled disco feel. glittery synths, hypnotic vocals and lots of funk from the bass. killer track! ... side b: come on and do me re-edit --> italo discoy bass, lovely female vocal and wait for percussive breaks!!

again a new fresh talents lands on be as one. italys sehou is indeed a well promising artist and the israeli imprint surely has a careful ear when it come to signing its artists. >to who love< is as simple as it is beautiful, a true house masterpiece with a classic touch, to stand the test of times. >dark side of the sun< turns things darker and deeper, phat bass, phat grooves, sure effect. to complete the package gel abril strikes back again on be as one after bein gmissed for long on the imprint. keeping things basic but effective, the israeli brings funk to the floor in his own unmistakable style

passion has always been one of marcus meinhardts favourite subjects. he has managed to secure the singer fabian reichelt for his latest release on upon you, fabian has intertwined the theme of eros and thanatos delicately within the beats. fabian is known for his collaboration with marek hemmann, who recently produced his album with him. >dont look into my eyes< is a typical meinhardt styled club track that has been sweetened by fabians voice giving it a certain pop-appeal and funkyness that is sure to get the hearts pumping faster on the dancefloors. his producer partner andreas henneberg adds his more cantankerous style to this track with his the glitz remix on the flipside firing the whole thing up with some strategically placed strings

we bring you a special one this time: >got a soul< is a rework of todd terrys classic >house is a feeling< that has been brought right up to date by warren fellow & michel steinbach who have done an amazing job of giving this track everything it needs to rock the dancefloors of today whilst still keeping the infectious funk of the original.

gunnar stiller has always been known for producing dance floor >destroyers<, even if >far from okay< sounds a bit like a floor wax accident theres no need for the timid raver soul to get worried about slipping and falling. soft accords sedate the mind, the bass pumps in the adrenaline and a voice softly whispers that everything is going to be just fine…all you need to do is dance. when the janitor loko mops over the uy 038 floor with his remix you can even walk over it on the highest of high heels. it does in fact, get a bit rougher when the lights go out on >some kind of weird< and the smoke machine goes starts pumping. thats when its >black piste< time and thats no place for heidi klum or techno beginners…but who wants to be a model anyway, right?

a1: >i want to love you< €rix big screen mix. – only available on vinyl – well… it is moody to say the least, it could/should remind you of a detective movie or perfume advertisement: perhaps both?
a2: tyree coopers extended dub reemix ( – only available on vinyl – ) takes a spin on his chicago/berlin base, pushing the periphery theory, >who cares as long as its jackin!< which tyrees reemix is doing right down to the summer vibe piano ho-down in the middle!
b1: royal mix by dirk leyers. dirk submits a striking take on the title disregarding structure entirely, turning it into a submarinal practical knowledge, stadium ready!
b2: reedo mix by the maertini brothers. the mix they rendered is pure love! laid back, with a variation on the vocal neither angie nor €ric were prepared for, listen closely to the bassline!
