played by: baby ford, trickski, julius steinhoff, anthony collins, philip bader, dirty doering, lil tony, kotelett & zadak, karotte,.. _ very special one sided 12 inch_ once again the latest white release is a reinvention of the label itself and pre-announces its early ending years in advance. this release is a very special one... it is from oliver ton and can be understood as the >very last number of the night<, that is why it is catalogued as the white- 999. oliver ton invited many musicians for jamming sessions into the studio of his production partner >ronald christoph<, in order to create a unique sounding. the final results are >hasta el fin< a song, which will turn every afterhour upside down, especially during summer! the song simply has it all. we love its humor and see it as an ironic statement of the minimalhouse hype.... thats why it matches so beautiful to white... or not.... and thats what we love about it, say the creators of white.

tuccillo joins delusions of grandeur for their forth release turning in two tracks of funk injected house that will work wonders on the dancefloor. hot from his releases with willie graff on freerange, circus company, drumpoet and liebe*detail, the ibizan producer delivers once again with a release that will put him firmly on the hype list for 2009. panorama is one of those tracks that will be played by djs right across the board and creates a killer vibe whether its at its original tempo of 118 or pitched right up for peak time action. the rolling beats, looped up guitar hit and siren synths create a mighty track that treads a familiar path but does so in such style that we challenge you not to get bitten by the bug. taken things in an altogether deeper, darker and more twisted direction with have switzerlands finest kalabrese taking care of the remix. his very capable hands and ears, not to mention vocal skills, have resulted in a warped, acidified excursion full of bottom end pressure and brilliant percussion. a real trip this one. finally, on the flip, we have tuccillos this time, taking things back into house territory with a funk filled workout that utilizes a pitched down vocal and horn stabs to great effect. that doesnt sound great on paper we know, but give it a listen cos it works a treat.

fist of facts began life in a basement studio on ludlow street, downtown manhattan, in the mid-80s. the bastard child of liquid liquids salvatore prinicipato & ken man caldeira (part of the liquid liquid extended family and original liquid idiot member) the band lasted nearly a decade during which they created a uniquely downtown new york sound. these tracks sat in storage on cassette tape for 25 years are a part of music history. none of them have ever been heard by the public and it will be released as a hand numbered, 4 colour sleeve limited to 500 12 inches.

per martinsen aka mental overdrive shouldnt need any introduction being the granddad of the norwegian electronic music scene and all... hidden away in a little snowcave near the polar circle hes currently preparing the bits that eventually will become his debut album for full pupp.weve heard some bits and though wed like to keep them all under the lid for a little while longer, heres a little sneak peek of what hes done and hopefully preparing you off his unique take on modern dance music taking in elements of new wave, new beat, detroit and dubstep on the way. per unleashed this on us at one of the full pupp nights in oslo and recently we saw how it took the roof off at fabric... for the b-side we paired per up with the equally detroit-loving blackbelt andersen which gives us a hi-speed samba techno work out with a unhealthy deep bass.

igor from antwerp went a little crazy with one of his favorite pieces of music... but what igor did is not just another cover or re-intrepetation... he did make a highly expolsive track based on stravinsky s classic sacre du printemps. ok we agree.. that sounds kind of corny and pretentious... but somehow this bloke managed to get it all right. sounds like a forgotten techno classic from suburban knight who was recording with laurent garnier in his good old days and had henrick schwarz as studio engineer... a classic take on techno with a break that will revive more than one igor. this is a euphoric hands in the air, goose bumps al over record that works at the right moment.

nowar has the privilege to introduce this new producer duo from the netherlands, duijn & douglas, composed of esther duijn and steady douglas. their very first outing on the wax comes with a solid deep house monster, pounding steady beats, hip shaking chords and sexy sweet percussion. cat concrete will have you dancing and sweating in no time. close your eyes and lose yourself in the infectious rhythm of this brilliant track. its house music in its purest form. on the flipside you can find baazs remix which takes the track in a more stompy direction. slow jacking beats, a gripping sub bass with a deep old skool touch. its a deep but slow chicago stomper for both warming up the early birds and easing out the afterhour creatures. this record is solid, deep, raw and comes in a very nice artwork sleeve!

played by richie hawtin, monika kruse, dj hell !! kiko delivers the number eight in the afulab catalogue with his breathe of summer and three tracks that carry a more than a hot summer feeling. cala rossa starts with a catching melody and this sparkling glockenspiel sounds, served in a nice warm bed of funky strong rhythm and driving percussion! planetary is a prime time modern styled electro track with a slight influence by popof. the killer open air sunshine track is the flipside named musco. this is the definite big floor rocker for this sunshine season. its glitter melody and carrying pads will leave nobody with hands in pocket, but surely hands in the air ! we honestly cannot wait to hear this played by the djs around this planet and dance under sunflooded blue skies!!! make sure youll bring your sun blocker ...

second installment by berlin based mri who successfully cultivated since 2002 some serious dance terrains. this release carries two outstanding and rare remixes as well as one original track. by taking techno deep into the mine shafts of dub, chain reactions / basic channel artist fluxion created an eerie, full-circle remix of the latter. you can hear that a man is at work who knows his gear well and is good in what he is doing. the production is brilliant, the selection of sounds superb, set-ups are constructed with caution, superimpositions are finely layered, propagations and ripenings are get going in a well-considered manner. dreadnaught bassline, steady hi-hats and lo-fi clips – a must for basic channel fans ! on the flip, young talented producer u.e.s. delivers the meanest blend of modern techno style and reduced shaped subs that just creams it on every system. and as well as both guys together does mri with original track rough. the „el castillo“ ep separates the styles over two sides and with „rough“ functioning as a wicked minimal techno track with shifted groove hinging on a grinding bassline - drives the track into abyssal techno territory. fans of basic channel and modern electronic music enthusiasts will be all over this beauty.

phoniques unique vision of house music is continued with the next exciting release on his ladies & gentlemen imprint. serving as a teaser and a taster for the forthcoming >time for house< album, this ep holds three new and exclusive cuts. the album will feature these three lovely numbers, plus more hot new material from phonique, tigerskin, rubini and more. as the name suggests, >time for house< is an open-armed welcome into the blissful, warm and groovy, timeless house sound of l & g! dessous and poker flat key artist vincenzo has his say on the a side, with a long extended cut that gently builds lashings of tension and early morning drama with its deep stabbing push and open, floating breaks. as if we were soaring on the airy breeze of a warm summers evening, or raising our hands at an essential openair in berlin, >return of sha< captures that super elated feeling perfectly. vincenzo refines his sound once again, and marks a beautiful moment for the dancefloor, but also for more relaxed situations. fellow berliner tigerskin aka dub taylor aka alex kr³ger continues the summery, frozen-moment vibes with >too hot<. simple and classic synth hooks combine and layer to describe a chilled house jam that oozes positivity and good times. well known for his many aliases and wide variety of production styles, this track will not disappoint the deephouse heads out there, but will also please fans of his impeccable sound design and tasteful melodic abilities. belgiums kolombo aka olvier gregoire sends off the b side in style with his captivating classic deep dancefloor house exploration named >next dream<. wonderful, organic house sentiments meet characteristic percussion in this wonderfully sequenced conclusion to the ep. gregoire is by no means a newcomer, with countless releases and remixes under his belt, and the warmer-weather vibes of >next dream< works wonders as always!

the original is driving disco house that builds, twists and turns…! jonny had played the track at t bar and it had been heard by mr g (rekids) who requested to do the remix which is a more minimal late night groover that will appeal more to those that are more in touch with their tech side. great release by the sometime freaks

one of rough trades island 50th anniversary selection - 50 crucial titles, specially selected by us to highlight the unique contribution this seminal label has made to british music since 1959. the results of nick drakes solo sessions were as harrowing and stark as anything by robert johnson or charley patton. enclosed in an inner world of psychological distress, drake recorded pink moons dispatches from a private hell that was simultaneously terrifying and beautiful. both the lyrics and the melodic motifs are pared to the bone here, their simplicity making them all the more immediately striking. the most nakedly emotional and disturbing moment is probably parasite, a visceral but mysterious account of a disconsolate soul roaming through the world in search of succor, with drake taking the starring role, ultimately offering, take a look, you may see me in the dirt. this was the end of the road for nick drake in more ways than one, but just the beginning for the scores of songwriters subsequently inspired by his bleak but beautiful visions.

this is the first in a series of three various artist 12 inch releases, that features four of the dublin labels most trusted henchmen. puresthatreds >robbery< is his debut track on mantrap and what an awesome one it is: dark imposing bass and beats meet the sound of smashing glass, rave led keys and all round mayhem, with haunting strings that send this one into deepest hell. meeting him there is magnetize, who in one take supplied this evil vox led synth grinder in >distant observer< , with deft 808s and distorted crackling fx creating both a scary but grooving feel. rory st john pushes wobbly techno eccentricity on >dysentry<, with fluid editing and supreme use of effects proving again why he is one of the most exciting new talents around. sunil sharpes >print more money and shut up!< is a slippery mover, where a succession of unruly lead sounds accompany odd vocals and rasping hats - with a straightforward approach that will penetrate all in its way. so, four top class techno cuts here, all with their own unique character and all for peak time play.

big big big. stumbling grooves matched up with a mean bass line and explosive kick, all mixed up with a very intense zitar that takes the track through massive peaks. this track will blow the dance floor at peak hour ... no chance you will be disappointed.

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!

kirk needs no introduction, as a long serving electronic music devotee, a quick glance at kirks discography shows the scale this extraordinary talent has contributed to electronic music over the years. it is therefore with huge excitement that abstract forms brings you jitter world. featuring three tracks of deep techno business, jitter is a full on, peaktime dance floor mover with extra drive, that will undoubtedly appeal to the djs as well as the deep techno lovers amongst us, whilst back in my head and traject lay focus more toward the deeper end of the techno spectrum. its kirks groove on the dance floor and his deeper experimental electronics that make this ep fit perfectly within the abstract forms ethos.

when he isnt busy touring and recording with various artists as a session drummer (most recently with one beyonce knowles) guillaume jambel aka giom djs and produces deep house music. with only a handful of releases and remixes under his belt on labels such as amenti music, black cherry, tango, eight tracks and aroma its obvious that he is eager not too to spread himself too thinly. this makes us even more privileged to get him onto ornate music. and he certainly doesnt disappoint on blue matter ep which kicks of with bring down the walls a deep house disco builder promoting us to... you guessed it bring down the walls. with a metro area style bass line, warm keys and popping percussion this is bound to make you do exactly thatàin fact it should probably come with a public health warning. i know you were right, probably not something we say very often but here giom says it like he means with a tough kick drum, sweet seductive female vocal, bubbling bassline and a whole heap of other good stuff thrown into the mixer. this phat slab of deep house will brighten up the cloudiest of days, have a listen im sure you ll agree. hailing from brighton c soul are magnus asberg (head honcho of on the house records) and jimmy day. they have appeared on labels such as diy discs, suspect package and have also collaborated with house music legend robert owens on german label plastic city. for c souls on the house remix of i know you were right they strip it right down to the bone and produce a haunting, electronic house music rework. you know we were right!

this summer beni will continue to reign the dancefloor supreme with a new monster slab of black plastic, maximus featuring vocals from the mighty sam sparro. who put the fun in acid-funk you ask? the answer is: beni did. a low-slung exercise in dark and dirty arpeggiated sleaze, maximus marries a sparse bubble-groove that creeps up behind you and licks your ear with a very purple vocal performance by sparro to devastating effect. the resulting track is something akin to kiss-era prince and friends dirty dancing at a toga party while ancient rome burns down around them. on the flipside beni and nicky night time give maximus a night-time re-dub rubdown, taking the track away from the creepy funk freak and towards a straighter slammer jammer, favouring blatant dancefloor manipulation over the subtle and the sexy. also featured (and included on the next kitsune maison 7 installment) is fringe element, which encapsulates the feeling of surfing on a shooting star like never before, with beni sitting proudly at the controls. an electronic orchestra of descending basslines, vocoder snippets, bleeps and acid squeaks, fringe element caps off another compelling chapter in benis lifelong voyage through dance. after the cover of his first ep my love sees you made by geneviÞve gauckler, his new 12 is illustrated by french artist andre.

the mighty beat assassins return on mofo this time with a tidy collab with vocalist sweetie irie, and with a tip top remix from the one they call ac slater this release will put mofo back where it belongs, at the top of the pile!!

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

if you like the disco feeling and dance to house, this mugwump record will be right up your street. the uplifting and percussive original version of >tellakian circles< gets a slightly deeper treatment by the runaway
