this 2 part project from the advent and inustrialyser is without a doubt one of the freshest collection of techno tracks weve heard for quite some time. there are 5 tracks spread across 2 records with this first part being a 2 tracker. the advent aka cisco ferreira needs absolutely no introduction and is a legend in techno circles having produced some truly monumental pieces of work over the last 15 years..

first new r & s release since over 10 years... and who are better artists than radio slave to celbrate it!?

this record is in memeory of dj pitu, one of the best spanish hardtechno producers, who died last year. dedicated 25 years to electronic music.

d1 have come a long way since their first release 14 years ago, morphing from purist techno to sounds that encompass many new and exciting rhythms expanding the scope of the genre. now for the lovers of the original sound that spilled out of detroit and rolled all over the globe we are proud to present the debut e.p. of madrid based annie hall.

standard label jacket... supported by jonny d, john tejada, luciano, samim, raresh and many more.. after 8 years of running circus company behind the curtain, sety is finally releasing sweet & sour, his first ep. the beautiful 4-tracker includes a remix from guillaume & the coutu dumonts, who also released a successful ep on circus in 2007

>work in progress< was born in december 2005 by two french dj, kony & maxime dangles. the first one hold a record store, the other discovers the mix universe. their musical relationship and friendship never stops evolving since they met in 1999. 10 years are separating the duet members but it’s never been a problem, each member is influencing the other melting minimal music with new wave inspirations. after maxime dangles released solo a few ep on kompakt, paso or scandium, here’s a release under >work in progress< pseudo on the french logarythm..

>just a must buy< ... loved and charted by almost everyone !!! next mihalis safras biggie on trapez! after his top notch >interafrica ep< mihalis is going from strength to strength and presents us a record that will be loved and played for many years now....

the talented foundsound-dj ben parris has been seen the last few years releasing tracks and remixes on labels like microcosm and igloo. >toga party< and >pivolganarkotik< and two funky fresh organic-sounding minimal tracks that in a great way complements the flipside by swedish berlin-resident fredrik larsson aka kroppssprak. he delivers the building monster of a track which is >kawo< and the clubbier >ufsi, ufsi<. kawo has been tested to great delight in clubs worldwide in the recent time and received some amazing floor-reactions

a standout track for us is >fantasy<, which was never released on 12inch but despite this has been a djs favourite for over 30 years. the lush layering of instruments and percussion create a track that sounds as fresh today as it would have in 1975. after citing this as one of their favorite records of all time, faze action took this track and have given us some excellent edits which add extra dancefloor elements while keeping the integrity of the original

three years after his debut album basement soul kid returns in september 2008 with his darkest release to date. expect hip hop, sublime style, with guest appearances by camp lo, frank n dank, illa j, defari among others. until then, lets warm things up with this twelve! on the title track kid finds himself in his own world on a beat which was started out life as remix for the brazilian/dutch super group zuco 103. as a result - kid rhymes on the beat himself leaving you exposed to his world. the soulful pityful times appears as an (short) skit on the album while the extended cut is only available on the b side of this twelve inch. besides kid sublime this track features amsterdams finest vocal weapon, ninthe on the hook. kid sublime toured with zuco 103 and guru as a dj, and co founded the rednose distrikt collective, which he left to focus on his debut album basement soul. after that he put out records with frank n dank, les deal, wouda and did remixes for the likes of harry swinger, rob scott, recloose, j davey...

after his last years hit fruchtalarm/city rush boogie dub on farside records, its time for another herb lf solo joint. sunliner takes you on a trip and has a deep melancholic mood with a perfect catchy piano hook. when the reese bassline drops, sunliner takes one step further and creates big dancefloor pressure. expect a very special moment when you play out this wonderful piece of music in the club. dub is the word in down to the sound?. some cheeba cheeba business, a smokers riddim, delayed stabs and a killer bassline is enough for this dubby deep tune. ring the alarm! one of the most groovin 4 to the floor trax that has seen the light recently is named shake!. with a few dubby dancehall snippets and a slightly metallic sounding synth, herb lf adds live percussions from tim friesenhagen. even the sound of a lighter (!!) is used as a rhythmic element. get your groove on this perfect percussive atmospheric tool. shake it, baby!

2008 is going to be the year that joker blows up. hes already been causing a stir with releases such as the recent anthem gully brook lane on soul jazz & last years sell out stuck in the system on earwax as well as remixes for smd i believe & roni size dont hold back (...that frankly, make the originals look weak!). its high time now for joker to unleash his finest works yet on his own brand new bristol based imprint kapsize. kapsize 001 launches with a double aside - both tracks showcase jokers insanely genius production style, a kind of melting pot of influences that take the best elements of neptunes, dirty south & west coast hip hop instrumentals - big !

infadels are back. two years on from their acclaimed debut, we are not the infadels, new album, universe in reverse is the bands youth produced crossover masterpiece. bursting with energy, huge guitar melodies and hooks in abundance, it is, in short, the definitive infadels record and potentially a huge crossover album. universe in reverse is an album packed with soon to be hits reflecting the bands heady year and a half on tour, where they were able to discover the sounds that they would grow to become a re imagining of the new infadels sound. produced by youth (verve, guns n roses), and perfected by the mixing skills of ever dependable cenzo townshend (bloc party, pigeon detectives, reverend and the makers), this is a dynamic ten tracker of lyrically insightful everyman pop.

leena music is going on with a series of exquisite artists. after succesfull releases from catz n dogz, holger zilske, rodriguez jr. and dan curtin we proudly present a mindblowing ep from brendon moeller. this man is well know from his releases on third ear recordings and echocord and is in the business for more than ten years. listen to his new ep and you can hear ist. perfect tunes and perfect moods for a hot summer 2008

played by sebo k, karotte... layo and bushwacka! are equally at home turning out summery housey affairs as they are peak time stormers, and >now is the time / the time was then definitely fits into the latter category. a double header, the loose concept behind the release is to represent the sound of the dancefloor now versus the sound from a few years ago. >now is the time< has its feet placed firmly in 2008 - a crisp, clean techno bassline, topped by hand claps, snatches of breathy female vocal, and full of an irresistible array rattles, whooshes and other indefinable sounds that the duo seem to pull from the depths of their imaginations. it breaks with some simple electronic sounding chords and a stirring martin luther king sample that makes this record so memorable. >the time was then< is based around that same sample, but gives a cheeky nod to a few years back, with a bassline and keys that wouldnt have sounded out of place on their seminal ‘night works’ album. it never goes too far towards nostalgia, though, and either would rip up a late night dancefloor

knock knock, bang bang! minimal neo tech drama is just kicking your doors off! 5.4,3.2,1 action! our hommie jurek przezdziecki from warsaw, (poland) - is making his debut on boshke beats records and you better watch it, feel it and be into it! (we will not give you here a death threat ,but we were close to-please admit it) 10 years of producing under the different projects like big wigs, epi centrum and mass turbo! and lately you could taste of his sound on recently released maxis on whirlpoolsex, bretzel, jacek sienkiewiczs recognition and living records and here is his first boshke debut. we highly suggest to watch this interesting producer closer! he manages to seamlessly lead us through his special and unique fusion between minimal techno and neo trance, dressed with his unique sonic synthesises and topped with a top class sound production. on the b-side is a contemporary re-work of the sink master by maestro robert babicz (aka rob acid), speiced with the dancefloor power and a big roberts character this remix destined for all the modern contemproary djs on the planet earth!.

on the remix front we have three &#128,&#152,master blenders onboard. the first remix is by word of mouth, aka graham lord, one half of top house act audiowhores. second we have scope, aka ric mcclelland has worked his magic on the vocal to superb effect and created one of the coolest tracks you &#128,&#153,ll hear all summer. last but not least we have glide and swerve, formed 3 years ago by ivan clarke and simon glantz, have turned in a stunning chill mix perfect for ibiza&#128,&#153,s legendary sunsets.

would you have remembered? with the debut album of the 32-year-old warszawian, téchnè, cocoon recordings has released the first artist album ever on the label six years ago, at that from an artist who was not well-known to a large extent back then. this has changed fundamentally: with his releases on his own label recognition as well as on trapez or klang elektronik, sienkiewicz belongs to those ambassadors of modern individual electronic dance music who set benchmarks. this is also his demand with the two tracks on “my little place”, meanwhile his fourth release for cocoon recordings. while the over-heated my little place re-interprets the credo of dub with polyrhythmic elements, delays and echo in an somehow unfamiliar way, “com-bat” carries on sienkiewicz tradition of putting hypnotic sound evocations close to the ten-minute mark. with intensive melancholy, the percussive bass rotor of com-bat creates a bewitched hymn for sunrises somewhere in between the urban desperation of detroit, the atmosphere of after hours and balearic bliss

japanese artist kaitaro started his career as a hip-hop-dj at the age of 17. five years ago he started to produce minimal house music and released several records as kai on labels like alphahouse, sud elektronik and audio808

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

5 years ago back in february 2003 in montmartre (paris, france) pedro winter aka busy p created the ed banger record label. most of the artists have been discovered by pedro, and often live near the labels office. over the past 2 years the rise of the label has been something like a phenomenon, with all artists being on a worldwide tour (dj and/or live) at sold out venues, each appearance always long awaited and celebrated like a the coming of the messiah by thousands of raging kids from each and every part of the world. drawing on the street energy of hip hop, rocks explosion and hypnotic compression of techno music, but remaining open to all other influences, the sound of the label, mostly electronic and saturated, has become a trademark, registered worldwide. justice, busy p, uffie, feadz, mehdi, dsl, oizo, vicarious bliss, mr flash, krazy baldhead, sebastian and so: mes post cartoon imaging are practically pop culture icons, especially within the new web media (myspace, blogs, forums) where ed banger remain one of the unbeatable masters of its use. this third volume of the labels own compilation features 12 new tracks and mixes.

support comes from hosh, karotte, dave dk, tom clark, jamie jones, sasse and many more.. it’s been a while since james flavour released his last full artist single ! after numerous releases for labels like highgrade, brique rouge and other remix dutys on his own labels plus the work on dirt crew’s last album the bavarian native, residing in berlin for 14 years now, really took his time to bring you these three full on club tracks. taking a different approach to his sound we know from his last two singles on dirt crew recordings, the idea was to create a more reduced minimal groove with dubby influences as they can only be delivered from berlin city.

he soul mechanik brothers operating under their creative use name have taken a pair of stone cold underground club classics and extended and amended them for modern use. cat stevens >was dog a doughnut< has appeared several times over the years in many shapes and sizes, this definitive extended version has to be up there with the best of them though, allowing the dislocated funk of the original to simmer away before reaching boiling point. similarly riuchi sakamoto’s timeless classic >riot in lagos< should be mandatory listening for anyone with an interest in electronic music, an absolute masterpiece in it’s original form, this version takes the meat of the track straight to the dancefloor where it’s turned into a juicy electrofunk sandwich of tastily huge proportions

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday
