3 years ago patrick & frederic started their marvelous career as kaiserdisco and made it to one of the most interesting acts in the global underground scene. they are not only a techno or minimal act, kaiserdisco is fascinating people all over the world cause they are producing music from lazy deep house to groovy techno, always with the right sense for the dancefloor. in the last years they remixed artists like booka shade, kosheen, extrawelt, sebastien leger, 2000 & one...., and had releases on legendary labels like drumcode, 100% pure, strictly rhythm, my best friend, global underground etc... and now it is time to start their own imprint. the first kd music release la famillia ep comes from kaiserdisco themselves. the a-side la benjamina is a typical kaiserdisco anthem. strong beats, groovy bass and a hypnotizing melody. you can feel it in every second of this track how much fun it was to produce this piece of music. especially the big break will make you go mad!! hija major on the b-side is a heavyweight techno layout. a massive rolling bassline catches you from the first second! the hole track reminds you of a fast rolling train packed full of wood. it rattles from first to last and when it falls into the breaks you can imagine it pushes the train even more and more and more...

get ready for a new exciting collaborative project on electric deluxe! >workshops< is a new experimental series of releases by phil kieran and jochem paap (aka speedy j). the idea behind this project is to explore the recording techniques used in the middle of the 20th century and dating right back to the mid 1950s. famous inspirational places like bbc radiophonic workshops in england and philips lab in holland have seen some of the most innovative production techniques, experimenting with the first use of stereo, modular synths, found sounds and reel to reel tapes. the end result was always something space age and promisingly futuristic and still to this day fresh sounding, crisp and exciting. phil kieran and jochem paap have decided to use this inspiration to effortlessly accomplish marrying the past, present and future in an innovative mix of old ideas with new.

once upon a time there was a girl called matilda, she loved to sing and dance and play music. one day she was making her way through the big dark treptow wood when she came across a magic electronic harp standing in a shaft of sunlight by the lake. she sat down to play and it sounded like summer... exone boss exercise one provides a tougher extended remix that retains the deep flatness of the original, while deadbeat keeps the full harp arrangement with his own frenetic bass arrangement

supported by. laurent garnier, gregor tresher, audiojack, maxime dangles, chris wood. after releasing their second album sand hills in april, piemont pushes forward with a remix edit sand hills remixes due july 20th, available on vinyl as well as digitally on their own imprint suchtreflex. rather than asking around for remixes they invited artists that they really respect to give it another touch and you can feel it! hugo (tuning spork / mobilee) remixes rundown in a slow and sexy house with an element of latin percussion and melody grafted on by 4/4. tuning spork and contexterior label owner jay haze makes the track with small pupiles a bumpy version with original breaks as only he knows how to do. the spanish, uner (diynamic) get his hands on instead of multiple adding his own twist, organic sounds and classic beats. you definitely feel his classical background. philipp aka sante fine-tunes the track self of sense. some nice and fresh remixes!!

big with: chris carrier chris lattner, chris wood, nick curly, jimster, luke solomon, varoslav, mr. statik, tini, technasia, steve lawler, robert dietz, retrac, osunlade, dan drastic,.. our second imprint on >deep series< features an up-andcoming artist from moscow. as a studied pianist kammerton knows the fine art of funk and soul, which serves him well in writing mesmerizing deep house and dub techno. his dj-sets have been compared to the likes of moodyman or theo parrish, giving you high quality unapologetically. on the a1 you will find >take off<, a funky house tune founded on subsonic bass-rolls underneath gently tweaked sequences. this groove to make you move will get any floor going with its characteristic live arrangement. >infuse< on the flip is somewhat slower at 110bpm and surprises with broken beats, chords and vibras - the real funk. the b2 >fosters hats< has shown its full potential in the club, with a steady build-up of drums and chores. this peace of black gold belongs into every house-dj bag!

oliver hos label wires returns soon with the third installment, >nothing ep< by raudive. this release sees oliver pushing the raudive sound into a darker area featuring industrial influences within the techno grooves. the ep starts off with >shiver<, featuring an organ drone overlaid with bursts of resonance and feedback, with the repeated vocal phrase, >the sun sets inside you<. next comes >>nothing<. a strange wood block sound rides over the heavy groove, with synth stabs and echoing vocal sounds, it is relentless and hypnotic. we continue with >sigil<, the combination of monotone bass and synth stabs with the strange primal moan produce a creepy groove, - gothic techno maybe... finally we have >dial<. the last track finishes the ep off with heavy drones and white noise feedback, bringing to mind the relentless tones of lou reeds metal machine music.

up next on balans is a brazilian old school house & techno talent extraordinaire. he operates under the monniker betek and has only one release on black stripe under his belt so far. this is about to change, because he will be a regular on the imprint from now on.
hailing from beautiful rio de janeiro, you might not expect an artist who is dedicated to old school roland drumcomputers and bassline machines. betek clearly has a big love for the edm past, but takes it well into the new millennium with a fresh angle.
you can expect more of betek this year!

drums have been discovered in almost every part of the world. drums first appeared, however, in excavation from the neolithic era. the oldest recorded drum is from 6000 bc. mesopotamian ruins contain small cylindrical drums that are as old as 3000 bc. egyptian tombs have yielded small drums used for ceremonies. several caves in peru contain wall markings depicting drums in various aspects of societal life. it is strongly suspected that indian drums from the middle east are as old as 5000 bc. the american indians used a series of wood and gourd drums for their celebrations and some of these drums are still used in ceremonies today. drums were not always used for music. in africa, where music is simply an interpretation of everyday life in sound, drums were used as speech. simply a pattern of beats played in a certain way could communicate vast amounts of information. jeff mills creates the drummer (pm-022). 6 track 12 vinyl ep. mills communicates through only a classic roland tr-808 drum machine, exclusively made for the purpose maker/axis. each track dedicated for the masters of the art form of drumming like: neil peart, billy cobham, buddy rich and others, mills explores how drum patterns and rhythms remain communicative on a higher level that has endured through evolution of humanity.
