from its hallmark opening bassline, to the synth heavy powerchords of the whistle along chorus, theres no straying from the fact that metronomys future single heartbreaker is catchy as hell. its an electronic ode to male heartbreak that ll both cut you to the quick and have you dancing all the way to the therapists chair. sonically, heartbreaker is perhaps metronomys most precise, radio friendly, and sure fire hit single to date. it best represents the straight forward genius of a band who ve been sitting on sizeable chunk of pioneering electronic ideas since mount first began recording under the bands moniker in 2005. they ve maintained a wholly modest approach to stardom whilst amassing an army of strangely obsessive fans. with a full package of club floor fillers and luxurious disco mixes, heartbreaker is the most zeitgeist capturing record of the moment, a must have for pop lovers, dance lovers, indie kids and the discerning music consumer.

without a doubt, chicago native huge hephner has garnered quite the reputation as an international playboy - pimpin and whorin his way into the electronic music worlds stream of consciousness. however, behind the tough guy persona is a highly underrated producer with an unbridled passion for music and love of the analog gear he uses to produce such increasingly in-demand sounds. it is this perversion that lends meaning to the title of his debut album, nymphotech, released on none other than the label that helped launch his career, siteholder records. unflinching in its house vibe, yet relentless in its dance floor attack, nymphotech is a highly impressive debut album by a producer who continues to up his game with each successive release. hephner kicks off part one of a two-part vinyl album sampler with the chugging acid burner sharing the same title as the album. nothing less than 4 a.m. packed club material, to play nympotech at any other time would be a failure to recognize this bombs full potential. jack n coke is undoubtedly huges nod to his hometowns house legacy, showcasing a flirtatious bass line that screams funk in all caps. wheres the acid? fans of hephner might ask. leave that up to freaky $ean da don, featuring the vocal debut of huges body guard and reputed hitman who bears the same name as the tracks title. if nymphotech is any indication of whats to come from mr. hephner, we can only hope huge will manage to stay out of jail long enough to produce a follow-up

with the sweet voiced jw on vocals. on the remix duties, brighton wonder boys prok & fitch, who deliver a great peak-time mix

while for many of his contemporaries repetition became a new standard rather than innovation, jacek sienkiewicz with every release seems to be broading his musical horizons and challenging new territories. beacon seems to be even more organic than previous recognition releases, and the warm, yet unstoppable beat workout suddenly goes all jazzy and cinematic, with irresistible saxophone hook. big surprise here, but jacek blends the sounds into one of his trademark, 12+ minutes long, massive club anthem. another surprise is brought by the flipside - this remix is courtesy of the man of the moment michel bauman, here applying his soulphiction alter ego to dark, smoky and very tropical variation on a familiar theme. all over, another very impressive release from jacek sienkiewicz, man who never fails to impress.

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his superb debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year. the twelve pieces of minimal detroit sounds you are about to hear, were sent to us as one package. we were blown away and there was nothing else to do but surrender to its quality and sign them all. now join us…

neues label aus griechenland, mit axel karakasis, dj mika und vortechtral sind die richtlinien klar vorgegeben! innervate records is started at the begining of 2008. label is the brainchild of bosnian techno master dj mika who is allready known to alot of techno fans around the world. he did some storming releases on labels such as mastertraxx, planet rhythm, pirate audio, definition, submissions, yin yang etc. idea of the label is to keep pure techno growing as it deserved in all his forms. label will mainly work with known names in todays techno scene, but it will be also the tool for promoting upcoming producers who deserves to be promoted

rhodes accents and analog synth melodies, while a vocal chorus ups the soul ante during the marching strut of who am i, a beautiful example of timeless house music if there ever was one. in futuristic funk, a looped voice incessantly repeats too late now, thereby adding a touch of delirium to the tunes stomping swing, after which the vocal line expands into the chanted pray for brighter days / too late now / lose myself in the future / too late now. warmed by old-school synth flourishes, congas, and rhodes melodies, millers rich and seductive club music makes surrender the only possible proposition and a release so rarely deep and musical, which is therefore not to be missed.

glaswegian alex smoke aka mr. menzies, the man who helped kick start vakant in those blissfully uncorrupted early days, returns with a fresh no-frills attack since his last hanged man ep, va013, 1and half years ago. a sides whirrfless funky abrasiveness stomps heads in a way alter ego would if they were happier people and saw more sun. b1 fud paces along with sprightly spring in its step half cheeky, half roboadventure reminiscent of the early days of perlon. b2s onomatopoetic flingclunk zealously jacks for itself. it is all glory minus the glam and trans-fats. smoke, adding to the current relentless vakant onslaught, makes every reveler feel as limber as 14 year old russian gymnast

we are pleased to welcome dubnoodles whose previous releases on milnor modern and rundlauf musik certainly grabbed our attention. on this ocassion, dubnoodles shows two different sides of his music: the a side is funky as hell. both tracks show highly elaborated grooves with a very pleasant shuffly jazz feel. a must for adepts of frank martiniq, akufen, treplec.., and for those who enjoy playful forward thinking grooves. the b side really gives us the shivering. it unravels extremely emotional melodies, powerful strings and intense crescendos. fans of dial and neo detroit will appreciate. all three tracks are a real blessing. as usual, we tried to pack as much amazing music as possible in this release. enjoy!

lcd soundsystem returns with a song written for the soundtrack to the sony pictures film 21. james murphy’s concept of what a big rock song made for a movie could sound like more than a balls-out big rock song, the track delivers in unexpected ways, from the edgy opening two minutes that alone could serve as the score to a car chase, to the sudden explosion of choirs, blissful harmonies, and larger-than-life chorus. babytalk, who has created quite a buzz with two top-notch releases and is currently the toast of underground dance music and disco heads, remixes the track into something seemingly slower and definitely more sinister

finest electronic beats mixed with deep male vocals in englisch + german language, telling a story of a silent and relaxing day in the pure nature. the lyrics are made very clear and simple and people will be able to feel this track for sure. in the middle of the track after the break, the track is having his peak time and it gives us the creeps. on board is a incredible kaiser souzai & nudisco remix which does fit better for the harder djs who play techhouse. playlist already: david penn, bad boy bill, victor simonelli, gabi newman, sandy rivera, disco boys, grant nelson

funky influnenced earlier techno, dub & tribal tunes by thomas brinkmann.. ltd backstock

with the electronic justice 12inch, james t. cotton and d_marc cantu saw off another thick slab of classic chicago acid. opener >1mg< is a relentless teutonic grind, tightly constructed yet engraved with enough subversive tweaks to hint at the most experimental urges of james t. cotton_s other persona, tadd mullinix. >werkin house< and >static vision< follow close behind with the brooding squelch of a 303. and if these take us deep inside the darkest warehouse, then the title track reveals the inner depths of the artists themselves. >electronic justice< may well be 2am/fm_s manifesto, a rolling vocal creeper whose laser-beam pulses ebb and flow around a synthesized mantra: >experimental vision/ this is us, who we are/ this is our religion.< fitting words to chant, shout, or whisper in the flicker of a strobe at 2am, after all..

first new r & s release since over 10 years... and who are better artists than radio slave to celbrate it!?

after his pretty succesful debut on drehmoment with his acidic >hallucination<, milenko puts it onto another level now with his new ep for the label. groovy, scratchy techno and a flip with harmonics that went mad, this is the menu for today. jonas kopp is the guy for an outstanding remix, just in the way like his works for spectral or 20:20 vision. contemporary techno for those who are not afraid of giving the dancefloor a bit more energy as most jocks would ever imagine to do

rmxs by peter horrevorts and budai & vic , plastic city brings you two absolutely hot remixes of >flicking pages<, the track from the timewriter album >soulstickers<, and one new track that doesnt appear on the album. the man who had his first plastic city release in 1996, and his very first record >soul freak music< out on the plastic city sub-label suburbia in 1995, gave his track into very good hands. now its your turn to decide whether they got it or not, but were sure youll rock the place with these tracks. so put the needle on the record…

minimal phreak out strong release by this swedish dream team of clicks n cuts.. after the fantastic gez varley and geoff white releases in the past few months, persistencebit returns strong once more with the swedish minimal techno artists johan skugge and mikael stavöstrand, who work their collaborative gear into a feverish lather on a new trio of high-octane cuts. immaculately constructed and executed with precision, the duos material isnt as skeletal as one might expect-ample noise and commotion appear alongside the tunesgrooves-and, in its acidy moments, pink phantom sometimes sounds like audion, albeit in a slightly less raucous frame of mind

luciano rmx !! in anticipation of open wide, his upcoming debut album, we are proud to present the first taste of dave aju’s mouth-based wizardry with >crazy place<. a deep, extended journey into aju’s vision of slow-burning melodic space disco. the warm vibe, building synth lines, and catchy choruses are guaranteed to please. on the flip, we are blessed with a great remix by luciano, who stretches the track out even further, traveling into the sublime musical territory of his finest work, perfectly complimenting the original. a strong and truly balanced 12 with >future classic< written all over it! label standard sleeve / jacket

the chaps at off-key hq have been busy digging out the old dat tapes from their attic and sorting out the wheat from the chaff. for this release they go way back to bring you four more tracks courtesy of kimble, a collaboration between matt o brien and matt gates (aka minor planets). kicking things off is the beatless sketch of >lycius<, spiky alien synths flicker and pierce through detached ethereal pads moving in the surrounding weightless space. next up is the ep s lynchpin track, >state of shock<. proper techno is the order of the day here, this is an authentic old school minimal track first recorded in 1996 but left gathering dust ever since. immerse yourself in the subtle dub inflected melodies swirling in your womb bubble while the slamming rhythm track provides the heartbeat. over on the flip we chill things out with the haunting strings and aquatic bassline of >amb<, providing a delicate counterpoint to the upfront style of the a side. the ep is completed with a stunning remix of >state of shock< by minor planets, who layer on a towering bassline and transform the original into a laid back dub workout.
