we welcome this fantastic producer on trapez with this piece of music which is quite different from most of what we get today. the title track >ghosts< feels like as if klaus nomi and kraftwerk were performing together... something we would have loved to have seen but which never happened. this track is not for the people who love it safe but for the adventurous and the wicked. voices like sirens striking with high pitched tongues being counteracted by basslines with a surface that can only be described as rough as chunks of splintered steel. a brilliant stop and go feeling shows that christian martin is the master on the steering wheel when it comes to controlling the movement.

its still like that: even though digital is everywhere there is still something very special about having your own tracks on a vinyl release. so this is it again: the very best of the last releases on koletzki_s sublabel stil vor talent digital on a double-sided vinyl edition. starting off with two tracks by bruch & junior that couldnt be more different: while >fiesta de la residencia< sounds like somebody threw some spanish vocals and trumpets into a pool of tech-house beats and basslines at a maniac afterhour on the white island (ergo: great),>sunset< is the deeply euphoric sound for the morning after. the synthesizers so crisp and all around you, the beat and bassline so warm and seductive: this is purely magical music that will make you forget when the sun went down or up the last time while still making you want to shake your legs to the strong bassline and chunky loop. hit! on the flip then comes a re-work of a massive hit on stil vor talent: a 2010 version of nicones >una rosa< complete with the original spanish vocals, but a much more grooving loop that turns into an absolute percussion fest. claps turn into effects and we all raise our hands to those reverbed original vocals. last up australian murat kilic with the wonderfully oldskool house anthem >summer traffic<: great melodic pads, a superbly harmonic bassline and when the breakdown kicks in, an ever-indulging xylophon melody. this whole record has got summer written all over it and helps us all get through this icy winter.

break new soil loves italy! and not only for the famous cooking everyone knows about, but also for the fact that some very inspiring house-music is coming from there right now: after romano alfieri & luca bears über-massive >moved to love ep<, we are happy to present the next dancefloor monster from our italian friends!
marco effe & romano alfieri, both based in livorno, seem to become two of the most promising newcomers of the young italian house-movement. marco proves this fact with two original tracks that will work any dancefloor out there, and additionaly romano delivers another stunning remix, that has already been massively tested in gregor treshers sets - we are more than happy to finally present them to you today.
early support by gregor tresher, karotte, dubfire, joris voorn, martinez, nick curly, fergie, dj madskillz, shinedoe and many more...

lil tony is hotter than hot. while starting to dj and produce years ago, tony has been a staple in the scandinavian club scene since the early 90s. an amazing dj (actually one of the favourites around the moodmusic hq) and a talented producer, tony started with the fbi project with roberto rodriguez and kimmo oksanen before dropping some serious damage on raw trax vol. 1 last year on moodmusic. caned by everyone from luciano (he edited his own version of semble) to dj hell, tonys raw grooves cut the crap and moved people when other producers had to take a leak. hardworking, never forgetting his gentleman manners, tony is here to stay and raw trax vol. 2 is a bold new statement, and his best work to date. solid state takes the classic detroit influenced drum machine vs piano theme a step forward, a impeccable jam of 15 minutes with the beat keeping the pace, this has been roadproofed the last 6 months to good effect. the b-side karamba is a dry, tight driven tech-workout, perfect mixtool for the deeper techno as well as housier sets. it just works well. the closing checkpoint charlie is a tale of >lost in helsinki< – dark mean bass wanders around and gives space for the chuggin main line, monotonic body music at its best.

some still know very little about t&b artist josefine jinder, so let us introduce her to you. in august 2008 we saw the debut ep of little jinder, >polyhedron<, and soon after in october 08 we gave >polyhedron< the remix treatment with loads of t&b producers. in june 09, after countless gigs and production work, jinder returned to the t&b catalog with >youth blood< on their scion comp. the tune was such a hit t&b had no other choice but to give this epic blood sucker disco house anthem the same remixing treatment as >polyhedron<. as usual, t&b remixes are all over the board from a joker-esque dubstep remix by 12th planet & flinch, a monster mash heavy bass electro remix from sharkslayer to a remix by tomas andersson, who graces this 12 inch with a smooth rolling disco remix straight from the dub factory. this is one of many releases to come from jinder, this is her first single in support of her full length record to come out in 2010. definitely an artist to watch.

their debut perc trax release opens up with noson, a track which perfectly demostrates their sound, with tough but clear 909 drums underpinning a dubbed-out industrial soundscape that continually evolves as the track runs its course. on the flipside comes the 2-part indifference. part 1 featuring intense echoing synth stabs over clipped drums whilst part 2 goes deeper, but still with enough muscle to work in the sets of most djs. watch out for donor / truss remix of forward strategy group, coming up on perc trax in early 2010.

full energy techno! dancefloor burner!!

spiros kaloumenos presents his new installment, focus records. after many years of hard work including over 40 vinyl releases, gigs around the world, radio shows with dedication and focus on techno music, spiros decided to create a new label that will reflect his sound as it developed nowadays through the new modern influences of techno. its like, his personal touch to the sound that established him all these years, but this time he wants to take it one step further..straight, forward thinking techno blended with future elements and some groovy minimal influences. this is our focus!always faithful and focused to the techno sound be sure that this new imprint will again be the one you should definitely watch out!!be prepared and stay focus.

these two tracks have proved to work wonders on dancefloors across the planet, support from all the usual players and a massive follow up to the previous two >club tracks< releases in the series, which have received plays and praise by djs from all various styles such as laurent garnier, d julz, heartthrob, luke slater and dj hell to name a few. a-side track >nobody home< grows into a huge build using an oldschool moog-bassline, whilst the b-side chops up and pitches around an edited voicerecording over straight forward beat, resulting in a very unusual, groovy and hypnotic jam for the late hours.

kink - bitter sweet
kink has built up quite a reputation recently with some amazing work on rush hour alongside neville watson, and two slamming old-school-vibed remixes on liebe*detail. now we present his debut original track for the label, and >bitter sweet< really shows off his tender, heartfelt approach to house. raw, beautiful, melancholic and spine-tingling, this is modern house with a harmonious nod to the pioneers, connecting with us on deeper levels and remaining within us forever.
tom demac - draw me in
wales tom demac has already proved prolific as a producer constantly putting out genre defying, funky and ingenious hybrid house. also his debut for liebe*detail, >draw me in< takes on a strong and bass-heavy approach, with tight drums and freaky vocal-snippets melting together into a mutant jam of seismic proportions. reduced, casual and yet deadly cool, its a welcome additions to toms excellent production catalogue!

we are so proud to welcome the talented producer from chicago, kate simko, known for her great work on spectral. kate send us 2 amazing pieces of music... a-side, >lost in time<, made during a trip in argentina, shows the deep, intense and intimist sides of kate music. dark grooves lead by an amazing atmosfere made of pads, synths and keys... like dop said... they were in love with it, and wanted to remix it badly. on the b-side, the dop remix is a great reinterpretation of the track with a pop feeling, where jaw bring his vocals. another version of the remix, a really and special one will be released in 2010 on eklo. the second track gets in a more housey feeling, but still deep with famous kates rhodes/synthssounds, and a great toms hooks leading the track through her groovy organic and analogue rhythm.

the soul square were born in 2005, when 3 french hip hop beatmakers (arshitect, guan jay & permone) influenced with the same musical roots (mainly jazz, soul, funk?,) decided to work together. on the same year, they released their first remix album, the fresh touch, available for free on the web...

with accumulated success of the first installment from us based fragmeted audio, the highly anticipated second release arrives after a brief hiatus.
featuring the title track from las kj gibbs (i.e. apendics shuffle) and remixes from berlins dilo and berkeleys j. tonnissen (i.e. davros, praxis), this release is a full-on hypnotic sensory exploit into mind twisting late night techno. kj gibbs delivers a shuffled up head-spinning funk jam laden with precise hits, live acoustic samples and heavily modulated effect work. taking a slightly deeper approach, dilo offers up a much more subtle journey through deep hazy loopy drum bits, morphed vocal hauntings and a progressive yet solid drive. completing the mix, label boss j. tonnissen kicks it up a notch with a monster low-end bassline, menacing analog synth loops, clever vocal edits and huge floor power.

coloured vinyl! yoshihiro hanno aka radiq is a highly acclaimed musician and composer from japan, now living and working between tokyo and paris. he did releases on imprints like sub rosa, logistic and progressive form. hanno worked with the new japan philharmonic orchestra as well as arto lindsey or ryuichi sakamoto. besides he got international fame as a composer for different film scores including work with asian movie master hou hsiao-hsien and film director jia zhang-ke. radiq is since some time well aligned with the philpot camp. when he and soulphiction met again last year during the philpot tour in japan, co-operation was affirmed and tracks were committed. two of those funky nuggets are released here, one coming with a brilliant soulphiction remix treatment. >thanks for purchasing a real copy!!<

bangin uk prime time techno! truesoul starts 2010 with a strong return to form that stands proudly next to recent releases by adam beyer, cari lekebusch and joel mull. debuting on truesoul in 2009 with the emotive sky is falling ep, dustin zahn has received critical acclaim for his work on drumcode, rekids, and his own enemy records. a keen experimenter with sound and style. the restrained tension that runs through this ep is testament to zahns desire to evolve techno beyond the norm.

gadi mizrahis first ep embodies the kind of musical promiscuity that informs the parties and label output generated as one half of nycs infamous wolf+lamb duo. a languorous, supple pulse, before introducing a surprising degree of musicality and complexity-the nominal disco doesnt just reward frequent listens, it demands it-for such an effortlessly inviting work. all told, i can never get enough makes for a wild ride and a blindingly bright debut from mizrahi

spectrum recordings returns after a lengthy break to bring in the new year with a bang! 2 brand new tracks with the vibes straight of detroit circa 1993, brought up to date in a 2010 style, all courtesy of mat puffett - aka future beat alliance.
>diagram< has already caused a stir with its gruff roaring bassline juxtapositioned against the warm uplifting strings and pads. this is an intelligent and beautiful piece of electronic music, but still has the weight to work on the dancefloor and will appeal to a wide range of house and techno djs.
the flipside >crying sine< is a hypnotic groover surrounded by lush, atmospheric pads and spacey percussion: its also very dj friendly and across the board support is expected.
spectrum have taken a look back to move forward, and manage to sound as current as ever in an ode to the glory days of techno.

ladies and gents, a round of applause for max essa >2 be the one u want<. max has been behind a slew of classic releases over the years, including his recent and amazing work with the bearfunk label in collaboration with owner and international disco svengali stevie kotey. max is a true soldier of the balearic cause, the isit boys are more than pleased to have him at the helm of their tenth outing.

it was only a matter of time. two genre-defining artists together ... pop music and dance musics most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. dj hells >u can dance< is an interpretation of an unreleased bryan ferry song, but its one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.
hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of >teufelswerk<, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. one that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as siberia, opening up the cannes film festival ... basically just being bryan ferry.
and now here they are together ... it all started in 2006 when hell dropped in to meet ferry at his west london studio. at first they discussed hell remixing an old roxy music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (u can dance).
they had similar impressions of one another — hell: >i was impressed by his aura and his look.<, ferry: >he impressed us with his sophistication and charm.< fast forward a few years later, and hell is hard at work on teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the aforementioned song titled >u can dance<, a serpentine moroder-esque disco burner. with the help of old friend peter kruder, of kruder and dorfmeister fame, hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc set, in which ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.
ferry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but hes been going to clubs since he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career hes worked with legends such as nile rodgers of chic and david williams from michael jacksons band. >its always a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove.<

support by phil kieran, chloe, electric indigo, xpansul, terence fixmer, david keno, herve, ... the underground is what the politically correct devastates. being able to make a step aside, daring to make what the times do not take in count. this is the leitmotiv that defines best the work and state of mind of monoblok & pussyselektor, an upcoming explosive duo composed of two activists of the electronic scene from the north of france.

supported by: george g, elon, robert owens, mihai popoviciu, ethil and many others!
jazzy tourism is the first work that establish apparel music in the electronic music market. apparel seeks to combine differents hemispheres, trying to impress on vinyl every mood and emotion. every song is built for narrow audience, mental, impatient, just like jazz, get something of magical on the dance floor.

>sax on wax< by sabb & s. elezi is a delicious slice of deephouse with sax snippets and a solid, deep groove. perfect for the warm-up hours but will also work a treat for the late-night morning sessions.
