the environmental radiation dose on the moon ep is the first collaboration between zooloft and aconito records. the two labels are twinned in exploring the limits of techno, experimenting with structures and sequences and ultimately arriving at the place where the deep and dark sublimes. the ep opens with the child that was watching the moon a track lifted right out of the drone-techno hymnal. it starts with muddied, subterranean bass and builds not just outwards but inwards. filled with obtuse references and metallic rasps the atmosphere created is obscure and spectral. on the reverse the moon that was watching the child sounds like its been exposed to radiation. the sounds are distorted, as if created from samples of the genome unzipping. the arrangement is stunning, bells filter in and out and the layers smelt into one another. there is awe at work here, but its an awe that remains underpinned by terror. this release, mastered in berlin at the legendary calyx studio, is something of a record collectors dream. it will be released on solid silver vinyl in a very limited edition of just 200 copies. za000ltd should be enjoyed on wax, this wont be available digitally.

nice price deal !!! this second release from glasgows fortified recordings is a departure in sound from their first acclaimed ep by dundees loops haunt, but all the same in attitude. iranian born, texas residing garagesmith vvv uses his late night musical tests to forge and perfect his sonic output, and deploys a range of techniques not normally found in the often formulaic world of garage and dubstep. this patchwork quilt of laced beats, field recordings and intensive sample editing has made manifest a four track ep that simultaneously references the work steve gurley, todd edwards, carl craig, my bloody valentine, the cocteau twins and roy davis junior via the bastardised strains of 2-step and house practiced by the likes of ramadanman, untold and joy orbison, peppered with that magic elusive el_b swing that only the greats are able to achieve. at the same time familiar yet different (how many times have you heard that?), the four tracks on projects kick with the intensity of the best club music and invokes the cosmic spirit of classic motor city techno with an uplifting and deep soulful vibe that reveals layers of orchestrated natural sound upon repeated listens. in other words, its sexy as fuck. slated for an official release early march , one can only assume this limited 12inch will fly off the shelf much like fortified s inaugural release did

the one-two kick drum beat that starts “in the dark of the night” functions as a bit of a tease. instead of merely establishing the languid pace of the track, it has the power of suggestion, and its stark nakedness raises the question of what will happen after the music fully launches. a few seconds later, a punch-drunk, flanging keyboard is the first clue that the listener is in for an off-kilter ride, the sauntering bassline that next appears adds a springy, funk bounce. but it’s the tripped-out, multi-tracked vocals of fernando miranda rios, aka michoacan, the producer behind this slow reveal, that give the song its peculiar, space-yvibe. it’s like david byrne with funk aspirations and a vaguely cosmic feel. the b-side remix, courtesy of italy’s clap rules, feels like more of a re-build. the song has been taken apart and put back together with brand new parts. instead of more relaxed, dazed funk at the core, it’s a glittery, disco-ball splattered track with glossy keys all around.

kremenerstrasse in prenzlauer berg, north-east berlin, five hundreds meters away from the mauerpark, not far from the flea market of arkonaplatz and the famous kastanienallee, right there stands the souvenir office. just a quick guided tour for you! the kitchen shared with the boys of turntable rockers has the best café latte of the street, and with entertainers of the likes of ali and basti, you always get extra spices (and funny anecdotes) with your meal. just book your table in advance. next-door, you will find the souvenir studio, the audio empire of philipp “santé . behind a two-meter-high wall of machines, surrounded by computers screens and synthesizers, you can imagine him working away on some funky keynotes and well-chosen kettledrums with ali and basti. it may well be stomping and uplifting but there’s still something missing… that little extra something, which turns this new tfschwrz track into a breath-taking floor filler comes from the office at the end of the corridor. where hundreds of 12? records collected by tiefschwarz over the years are stored and also where retty works, the jokester of souvenir, the good mood behind the desk of souvenir booking and the good moves behind the decks of souvenir’s dj booths. retty is otherwise known as the whistler

played by: super flu, karotte, gregor tresher, stephan bodzin, sebastien leger, nick curly & oliver huntemann super strong new ideal !! winter, please, step away! ideal audio is ready to bypass spring and jump right into summer with a wonderful techhouse release from the glitz. >solar< is everything you would want and expect from the perfect summer dancefloor piece. no, no, do not underestimate it and think its easy. >sunstep< graces the a-side. it offers the perfect harmony between darkness and light. it is groovy with lots of energy while intertwined with a heavy bass-line. >feel high< deserves its name a hundred percent. the track develops gradually, leading you to a state of happy intoxication. you just want to grab your tap shoes and tiptoe to the melody. and, finally, >solar< which bears the name of the boys ep rounds up the package real nice, making it the absolute must for 2010. deep tech-house with a trippy melody will definitely do the trick in the early hours of any day, believe me.

the revenge return to hometaping to expertly rework their debut release on the label. the awesome >forever in their debt< got props and heavy rotation on a variety of floors, so its time for round two ! a duo of seriously dancefloor friendly versions, the first >pitched down mix< fuses the early house-inspired vibes of the original version with a slo mo jacking disco feel that will work for disco divas and househeads alike. this version featured on his recent resident advisor dj mix and its release has been heavily anticipated. while on the flip things hit an all together more carl craig inspired deep warehouse vibe that will definitely move your body. two top workouts that will rule the floor! press play and feel the rhythms!

the essential subsolo imprint drops another indispensable release. on the a side we have >maximum height<: a electroesque static bass tune with cryptic ambience, nautical!. flip over for b side pressure. maximum width subsolos next pitch, not missing the strike zone. this knuckle ball will score for sure. incredible street track that will break bones

limited edition reissue of the special disco version of bill withers 1979 classic you got the stuff, a magnificent funky disco cut with a super cool five minute groovin cosmic section that was made famous again in the 90s after being chopped up by dj harvey for his black cock free range ep. still sounding stunning today, this track will rock any discerning floor and remains a huge favourite with disco djs. the original changes hands for top dollar so grab a copy of this stone cold classic while theyre around. dont sleep!

major mainstyle alert! the beat controller is a young, but already well- experienced dutch dj and party organizer (confusion events). besides his dj skills, he already made himself a name with the track >handz on my ballz< in cooperation with angerfist. the track was released on the last angerfist album >mutilate<.
now its time for his first solo ep. both original tracks are rather hard & kickin, but yet still melodic and absolutely dancefloor-orientated. distorted revelation, known for their successful releases on knor, deliver a stunning remix in their unique own style which will also do well on the floor. all in all, a very strong (maybe the strongest) release on important hardcore yet.

after a short hiatus, kelvin andrews world famous stable for his own and likeminded producers (like mark e & mark seven) secret dj weapons is back to the fray with a truly timeless compilation of balearic belters. lovingly compiled by kelvin himself and the infamous balearic mike (creator of the sublime cosmic alphonsus series and head of the fascinating rhythms record label - remember last years >reckoner< rework which sold out in 2 days ?) this is a very limited sampler 12 from the cd compilation (which will be available very soon exclusively to all ears - more info to follow) all the tracks are licensed and 100% legit, so the guys wanted to release a 12 inch treat featuring two of the more floor friendly numbers, knocked into seriously good shape by danny mekanik (one half of soul mekanik with older brother kelvin!). already a hot topic on the blogs and likely to be the cd soundtrack of the summer, this is a superbly curated collection, and a killer sampler.
