#3 of mr mills tribute to ufos, night lights, and unexplained phenoma from technos king of the inexplicable.

>lazers< is a dark, mounting stormer, whatever that means ... it just builds and builds and then all comes together with (surprise) a clap.

originally recorded and produced in london by liam watson (white stripes, holly golightly, james hunter) at his analog mecca toe rag studios now treated and mistreated for a driving psychedelic dance floor stomper without comparison.

limited to 350!!! this is the remastered 2010 version of the marko fürstenberg tracks >juni kk< and >without you<, remixed by kollektiv turmstrasse and sven weisemann.

tiefenschoen as an lp is a complete whirlwind having a raw and dirty feel to it, albeit without losing focus on the original and well-known jean f. cochois sound. this is an extremely strong club album with a powerful recognition value – not only musically, but also visually thanks to its album cover. it stands out as it has an overall concept and, throughout it, a sense of continuity from beginning to end.

fourth hideout release from the man himself, luca bacchetti. following his recent release on ovum and the successful remix on be as one, luca is back once more with an ep and two tracks ready to be the centre of attention on this summers dance floors. luca has got us used to surprises, and his vision of music without rules where everything goes - the only common denominators are his trademark sound, his touch, and his feel. nothing to take for granted here as he describes two emotional states at opposite ends of the spectrum: the sunny brightness of endless summer and the dark introspective world of what your soul sings ... endless summer is also his first solo effort on hideout, after the west side story ep collaboration with his label co-owner davide squillace

ultracool old school inluenced house ltd 2010 repress !!

who is maetrik and just how does he get his beats and bleeps to sound so good? we cant be the only ones asking this question as recently eric comes on a string of big hits for audiomatique and mothership. erics been banging out stormers of late, but with dumb-unit its different. here we do our typical du magic and present something a little bit slankier, a wee bit dirtier, and a tad more tripped out. something that dancers and freaks can equally get their head around, something that will blast through the sound systems straight through the summer! and so without further ado we suggest you dig in ... and get ready ...

1993 release by mary j. blige, produced / remixed by sean puffy combs and dj eddie f.

without doubt 1 of the biggest tunes of wmc 2010 a cover of the donna summer classic from the mighty rhythm masters & mync!

this time martin woerner invited his long time companion and partner basti pieper (labelhead of herz ist trumpf rec and level 6 club resident) to let off steam on his imprint inclusion records. without hesitation, mr. pieper grabbed his friend atilla and the two guys from darmstadt/germany delivered a real tech-house killer track named - bob! after the big success of i love you (basti pieper feat. eddy pirax/hito001) in summer 2009, basti pieper shows us this time in cooperation with atilla once again how things really should be done!
on the b-side marches the reinterpretation of bob by martin woerner in the well known mannerand so this ass moving two tracker is completed.

ltd 2010 repress !!! marco carolas string of recent releases on plus8 and his own 2m imprint are now effortlessly hurtling forward under the weight of their own momentum and the bloody cash ep shows no sign of relenting. in fact if its possible, this collection of four new combustible tunes adds another dimension to his already substantial repertoire. on the title track bloody cash, carola immediately shows his intent, letting fly with a spiraling tribal groove full of bright, crisp percussive elements that stretch skywards towards the sun. the tough, earthy beats keep everything rooted to the ground as he taps into some age-old hedonistic urge, creating a universal groove that rolls out across the oceans before breaking on the shores of each continent with an all encompassing call to dance. the main body of the track incorporates a straight synth stab doused in reverb that sets the scene for the finely crafted main keyboard riff, which is an accomplishment in itself. alternating between two complimentary parts, it elevates the backing track to another level. perfectly balanced and enhanced for maximum danceability, its without doubt one of carolas finest works to date

the second release of >vibes - new&rare music< brings rick wilhites long time friend and fellow 3chairs producer theo parrish to the table. theo gives us an adventurous ride like only theo can. starting out on a blues tip, this track morphs into a string laden jazz affair without missing a beat. epic stuff!
on the b-side its a one-way ride to chicago with ricardo miranda blasting on the car stereo. this relative newcomer, who has recorded for hour house is your rush and vega records, really outdoes himself on >urbanism<. as we cruise into town, heading straight to lakeshore drive, this track kicks off so soulful, yet so raw! it reminds us of the best days of prescription underground, on which this easily could have been released. addictive.

the amazing situation return with two sides of love – gangster love and sutra love. the gangster side is an amazing clash of a skit from american gangster (heavily inspired by the eddy grant produced >funky like a train< by the equals) with donna summer. the resulting blend is as inspiring and surprising as it is unlikely. but with their usual disregard for boundaries and rules, situation seamlessly melt the two original cuts together into a perfect slice of discoid boogie that absolutely sets fire to the dancefloor. on the flip side, love of a deeper and groovier type oozes from sutra love. its a case of yet more top class, bass led disco action thats firmly focussed on maximum dancefloor reaction. this is without a doubt one of the best situations ever! and with heavy releases on disco deviance and their own imprint already under the belt that really is saying something.

already receiving support from the likes of richie hawtin, adam beyer, mark broom, and dustin zahn, this follow up to psyks debut ep (on minus no less) shows the heavier, peaktime side of his productions.>cubes< is a massive and hypnotic show stopper which will easily find its place in the biggest festivals and clubs this summer. >clockwise<, like decimals >freekout< ep, is a massive 909 workout similar to the plastikman material of the past. this is without a doubt, one of the biggest releases for the label so far! future classic!

odaka (also known as rawakari) delivers some nice abstract techno in the best idm tradition. he dabbles here with a flurry of machines, to obtain that distinctive analogue sound to go back to the basics. even the graphic design is the result of a more back to basics technique, without the assistance of a computer once again, but rather via sketching and plain and simple drawing. a very sincere and sympathetic release on this belgium label (brussels to be precise, wallonia, roughly same areas as confined). record is mastered by pascal demez (herrmutt lobby, kadah/vresky) check!

dolly continues after the great jakob korn release... steffi and old klakson label partner dexter colaborate. dexter drops dolly 2 with some mad old schoolish detroit influence called 1992... this is what we would have loved to hear from reese! with the trade mark sharp beats of dexter injected with phat funking kms techno (including reese bassline). redbox is the same recipe. dancefloor orientated old school house and techno influences with powerful production skills. big peaktime tracks without doing the standard tricks... pure dancefloor blizz!

bitten, co-founded in 2009 by amsterdammers sandy huner and dylan hermelijn, focuses on the techier side of techhouse life.
daniele tignino is without doubt one of the most famous and prolific italian djs and producers. already in 1991 he started releasing tracks on important italian labels such as umm, palmares…
for the 4th release on bitten he delivers woodanza, a tech-house track phat on the tribal beats, with a layer of mumbling vocalsnippets across the top.
oliver klein then drives it down a more techier route, while chart-topping duo doomwork and award-winning neuroxyde, take the track on the deep and grooving road.

slamming floor remixes, gui boratto turns sycamore feeling into a convincing club-track, with lighter colours and a straight four to the floor drive. using cut-ups and snippets of fiskers vocal, he transforms the mood of the original without losing its great melodic feel. thomas schumacher takes the track even further and comes up with a driving minimal techno workout, stripping away many of the original layers, yet using the vocal to great effect.

part 3 of 3 from the 3 years tanzbar musik compilation! after 3 years hard work, its time to resume! more than 30 releases on vinyl and about 40 digital releases, tanzbar musik and kostbar musik are not possible to imagine one without the other! in cases from top djs all over the world, like steve lawler, tom pooks, rodriguez jr, loco dice, monika kruse, marc depulse, dj hell, matt star, patrick zigon, sven väth and many many more... on part three of this 3 years anniverary sampler you can find 3 exclusive and unreleased tracks from renato cohen, mollono.bass and chris fortier! happy birthday!

after releasing on labels like tuning spork ( as bunkers with signor andreoni), contexterrior ( with andrea ferlin) and on popof s form, alessio mereu returns with dissolved in the black on his new label amam . it includes 4 techno-techhouse tracks expressing a softer style in respect to his preceding productions without abandoning the techno groove enriched with vocals, real percussion and dark obscure synths. on top of it the release is made more precious by the remix of jay haze that presents a dark, slow, deep and intense track.

second part, incl jay haze rmx! after releasing on labels like tuning spork ( as bunkers with signor andreoni), contexterrior ( with andrea ferlin) and on popof s form, alessio mereu returns with dissolved in the black on his new label amam . it includes 4 techno-techhouse tracks expressing a softer style in respect to his preceding productions without abandoning the techno groove enriched with vocals, real percussion and dark obscure synths. on top of it the release is made more precious by the remix of jay haze that presents a dark, slow, deep and intense track.

the hot name on the berlin underground right now is david keno and the track that you are addicted to without yet knowing is >upside down<. you are the first people to be getting this release as its been kept under wraps since label boss riva star first started playing it at the end of 2009. after recently being featured on rivas radio 1 essential mix and bagged super early for dj hells gigolo compilation, the buzz around it has now reached breaking point with enquiries coming daily on where people can get their hands on it. it could be one of the most anticipated eps of the year so far so it s a very fitting release to start the label with. snatch! is riva starrs first label project and the aim behind it is to push new talents and well-established forward thinking producers. expect slamming fresh house cuts!

well ok, no rule without exception... this beautiful joint from johannes albert is a little web 2.0 fairy-tail: the white rookie & cratedigga no. 1 moomin found a youtube clip of a dj hammering a super-deep, rough piano track in a club in the german city of paderborn. he didnt know the track, so he sent the dj a mail asking and a few mails later, the tracks from johannes were blowing away mr. offermanns ears. so the labelhead decided to make this the next white. of course first of all johannes & oskar had to meet a few times to make sure they understand each others vision well and after a few meetings they eventually became friends. so the labels movement towards the direction of house is continued by this release. wooden pearls is pure housemusic to the core. very wooden & grounded in the lower spectrum and crystal clear up in the sky. these very honest and timeless tracks tell us a story. the story of johannes alberts passion for house. since he was 15 years old, he is a fan. from the german franconia he follows house throu his local recordstore >swing king<

electro-disco made by adam sky & shafiq ettienne in 2004 for crosstownrebels. comes with remixes by frankie flowerz and glimmer twins.

limited 7 inch !! produced by joe claussell!!!

minimal techno which is primarily made with expensive soundsystems in mind, these tracks are about chunky rhythm, melody and colour, built to cut through under any circumstances without pandering to cliché

first release for this new label which starts up with the debut of the emerging duo doslive, with the first ambitious project >lemons ep<. this ep consist of two tracks: >lemons< on the a side, reflects excellent deep grooving house with a irresistible vocal style ready to take on any dancefloor. while on the other side >use me< builds up a new concept of house music, without limitations, with an irresistible groove and variety of voices so that you will not be able to leave the room until the song is over!

the stl project continues with warm, soulful and dirty sounding tracks from the basement. this record features five moving deep chicago flavoured house tunes, plus the always appearing dope loops on the b-side. oldshool stylish melodies between raw and colourful beats, channeled through vintage hardware equipment direct to your ears. evolving percussion patterns will make you get inside the groove and feeling of each track. things for the dancefloor and moody listening places. ruff house music without any frills! besides the great stl tracks, there is also a dubby rmx from intrusion echospace.detroit on the flipside, which will get you even deeper into sound. something vinyl series 11. grab yourself one copy as long as you can!

played and support by brothers vibe, gorge, mendo, acumen, nick curly, felipe venegas, jackspot, ptoile, monoroom, martin eyerer, someone else and many more. his successful releases and remixes were published on labels like kiddaz fm, spinclub, cecille, 8 bit, session deluxe or glückskind. his tracks got remixed by world famous artists like marek hemmann, billy dalessandro, nick curly, chris liebing or tom pooks!! first move is helmuts typical fragile minimal tech-house funk. a sweet lullaby with mantra like vocals thats too minimal to be tech house and far too funky and sexy to be minimal. and helmut is never satisfied with doing things like all the other producer around do it right now - he is always looking for the little things thats different - so expect a surprise or two if you are listening carefully. cut b1 is so typical for helmut again you would know without any doubt where these funky track comes from. reminding of his old classic dub la chord or his yellow tail release this is his typical cleaned up tech house with his own vocal snippets you just cant get enough of.

encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

here we roll after a long pause back to musik krause. toting three nuggets brought to you with care which are somewhere between gentle hardcore with a weakness for the horns, and a warm coolness that finds its place without the chocolate cake. whoever thinks that what i am doing here is again on a peppermint accordion ditty got it twisted. dark, complex and almost avant gard-ish hearty.

excellent groovin deep dubby techno!
a couple of weeks ago some records were delivered into our warehouse in error. i put one of them on the turntable, preparing to ridicule it. how surprised i was then when it turned out to be as good as this. when i tracked down the label owner and asked him for sales notes i was sent the following:
>sales notes: limited to 200 copies worldwide.<
techno music without hype, as it should be.

brut! records baby sister label, pop!, sees its second release with popnonames spaces. an eclectic line-up, including joerg burger, freund der familie and paid for fame, remix the original three times over to offer a varied perspective of the same brave track. revving its engine, spaces drives you to experience things. it invites you to crack yourself open so that through that voluntary rift some new future might pour. bold, beautiful and formless it emerges, washed in a golden light. a baby nebula, perhaps if you are lucky, cradled in the spiral arms of a distant galaxy patiently building mass as it clumps gas and dust together. the important things often creep up silently…recognized only once they are there, even though you had given them no shape in your mind prior to their arrival. space gives possibility to what these forms might be, boundless in four-dimensions. its that expanding medium that allows imagination to roam without end…where the need to distinguish between what you know and invented evaporates and flows pure and clear as an ice cold stream.

adultnappers original mix of monitor is a minimalist, atmospheric house outing with warm, evocative piano chords. percussive and synth soundscapes wash over the groove adding a stylish textural dynamic. conversely, mkl vs bgss (members of the group brazillian girls) step onto the scene with a live, organic funkafied jam that steps skillfully through afrobeat and retro disco/funk territory without missing a beat.

big with: llorca, trickski, deetron, djuma soundsystem, ante perry, laurent garnier, .. for its 3rd release lany recordings turned towards we play house recording artist san soda to provide the goods. this is no coincidence as we play house recordings is run by red d, maxim lanys lany partner in crime. this means that lany 03 take things a bit deeper than the previous lany releases, without losing the direction lany recordings is aiming for. on this untitled e.p. san soda teams up with friend just nathan for two tracks. just nathan is another experienced belgian dj who has something to offer to the world, adding further proof to the fact that belgium has more skills than just making waffles and harassing children

seasoned producer, musician and dj, mike monday has always been at the forefront of the uks electronic music scene. his skills have been honed and developed through years in the late 90s spent producing a variety of styles of music. time well spent indeed as this fertile training ground prepared him for the presentation of his critically acclaimed 2nd studio album, songs without words. heavily influenced by the dubstep and funky scene, yoppul has the ethnic sounds of london written all over it. its warm drums sounds, hefty bass and quirky melodies epitomize mikes signature sound and are a tribute to the soundtrack that is currently ruling his citys streets

the berlin-based dj and producer eva be is no newcomer to the international dance-music scene. 2 years ago she released her long-player >moving without travelling< on bestseven / sonar kollektiv records creating her very own trademark dub-influenced electronic sound. this ep is the logical continuation of her musical output as she has been djing quite a heavy 4/4 sound in the last years playing alongside best works records djs andre lodemann, roland appel and alex barck of jazzanova in places such as goa/madrid, cookies/berlin, dampfzentrale/bern, etc.
>new crack< combines an electronic dub driven bass sound with classic old-school house influences - dancefloor business. darko essers mix is more intrecate giving the orginal a more dramatic crystalline twist. last but not least andre lodemanns previously unreleased remix of eva bes tune >she walks alone< sees the light.

after his hard hitting remix on the hydro 13.8 vinyl 12inch a.p. is back on plastic with an original release for d.a.v.e. the drummers all conquering hydraulix label. this has intelligence, forward thinking ideas and subtle arrangements all set in a hard hitting production package. this is techno you cannot afford to live without!

excellent dubby deep house ...

la mezcla is without a doubt last summers smash hit! played by almost everybody and voted as the ibiza track of 2009!

supported by tolga fidan, someone else, the mountain people, 2000 and one, renato cohen, karotte, butane, bloody mary.... following the hot release from chris lattner…einmaleins musik introduces a very special release from new added artist aldo cadiz (chile) which spreads again our very unique trademark style of music. each track shows aldos ability to create an efficient and deep sound from a few sounds without a lack of feeling.

after releasing tevo howards >move< hhyr is back with more music from the howard family. this release sees tevo producing his father rick howard again. after working together on the first beautiful granville release about fourteen / without your love, the duo returns with the >i wont lay back<. vocal chicago house just as we llike it deep and raw! i wont lay back is possibly the best track they have worked on so far. comes as original and underground mix. the b-side features a remix of about fourteen. classic stuff! raw and dirty house music. when music is this good, let there be renaissance! our house is your rush!

part three of the cocoon 10inch series is all about the modern british techno scene, and the first hypnotic exclamation mark is set by yousef from liverpool. after collaborations with carl cox and x-press 2, >come home< - which can also be found on sven väths current ibiza review >the sound of the tenth season< - seems to become one of the most important tracks of the winter season 2009/2010: with a steadily rising crescendo, yousef is weaving around a >strings-meet-piano< motive with massive reverb that gives the tribal beats a deeper meaning and thus will be enchanting the clubs. the flip side belongs to london-based dj and producer tim green. he is releasing on labels such as four twenty, sci+tec and trapez for more than three years now and his co-production with emerson todd, >exercise<, even made it to cocoon compilation i. >lone time< lives on metal-like percussions that are loaded with adrenaline and once more prove the fact that modern techno cant go without tribal elements

this is the second release by antonelli for dreck after his boogie ep in 2007. in classic antonelli working method the material here is made without a cpu, just with hardware. this gives the tracks a warm feel and a sense of an older mode of production, but nevertheless the two tracks are fully rooted in the now! stefan schwander starts out with the idea of the bassline as a genre-defining element in music. he then works from this central idea towards an euphoric and a reductive version, resulting in the two tracks here at hand, >disconnected< on the a side, and >operatore< on the b side. they both feature a beautifully analogue disco (if not moroder) bassline, build up continuously without ever meandering or loosing direction - very straight and pushing the dancefloor forward with >operatore< being the more bouncy and carefree track of the two.

hello and welcome to the new decade. we are kicking off the 10s with a smash from the 00s - as a hinge between the decades, so to say. adas >lovestoned< was everybodys favourite track from her fabulous >adaptations< album, a milestone of romatic techno with vocal support by raz o hara. one of this songs biggest admirers is president bongo of gusgus fame. together with jack shidt he forms the dynamic duo gluteus maximus which already caused a stir with their amazing remix for sigur ros >gobbledigook< on kompakt pop. their lovestoned remix is astounding, too. sex, modern, efficient without losing one gramm of soul. the flipside is taken care of gui boratto who is never far away when techno meets pop in such a sensitive way. his remix makes all great things from the original a bit greater and its pushing the romance factor to the max.
great job, comme d habitude!

the 9th release on excentric muziks off-shoot rekluse brings with it a very welcome edition to the rekluse family, we are sure matt cooper is somebody who you will be hearing a lot more about in the nearest future, that is if you havent heard of him already...
from his mixmag >future hero< tag, to his efx1000 tutorial videos for pioneer (he has been likened to james zabiela but with bigger bass lines) and his ongoing residency at the dirty disco in leeds (the northern light was the original home for the club night which the ep title pays homage to), the only piece missing from his jigsaw was the production side of things, until now. he recently teamed up with spektre to launch their new respekt label with the >cuernos cubanos< collaboration, and now we are very proud to present matts first ever solo productions, brought together as >the northern light ep<.
>pack your trunks< is dark twisted statement of intent, with a hearthrob-esque hook giving off the feeling that the track is ever so slightly on the brink of loosing it, before that tough gloomy groove reminds you just why you were listening in the first place, and why you have to listen to it just that one more time...
>triptup< attacks with a driving upbeat vibe that also arrives with a crazy tinged edge to it, keeping the dance floor bouncing off the walls, this has never failed to receive anything less than devastating reactions during its many roadtests on our travels.
>the swinger< rounds off the ep with a kinky tech houser that swaps the power of its 2 harder brothers for some chirpy tomfoolery, without compromising on its absolute effectiveness to well and truly rock the party whilst getting completely stuck in your head. and dont forget the breakdown...
