here at bearfunk hq we firmly believe in perseverance. we keep asking questions until we get the right answer and with 6ft bear by our side the answer is usually yes. we kept asking ilija rudman to get in the studio and write us a killer lp but being the busy bee that he is it was hard for him to take the time out. we kept asking until he eventually caved in and went underground to record his first lp, >the reveal<. ilija is a devoted and passionate man when it comes to music. one of his prerequisites for recording an lp was that the recordings had to be made with the same techniques and equipment that inspired him to make music in the first place. so ilija hooked up with one of his studio mentors and got his dream line-up of synthesizers, roland jupiter 4 & 8, minimoog, roland sh2, juno 60 and his dream drum machines linn and oberheim dmx. these analogue machines fire up to create a warm and authentic vibe across the whole lp. we are reminded here that machines do have soul if used properly. we start proceedings with the wigged out boogie of >inspectors drive< which might be a little nod in the direction of wally badarous classic chief in< have all the ingredients of dj friendly hits. the lp reveals all the influences that ilija has experienced and it shows the talent that runs inside him as he is able to make such an amazingly retro lp sound like something from the future. we are sure in years to come this lp could become as important as the influences that inspired mr. rudman to make it.

believe it or not !! new hardfloor album ! with acid !! killer !! mastery is distinguished by the difference between being able to create something because you know about it, and creating something because you are it.hardfloor are the masters! masters of what? masters of the -sound of acid-, the style of techno they invented and infected the world with by unleashing the groundbreaking and infinitely imitated -hardtrance acperience ep- in 1992. that unmistakable groove, that pumping house bass, that swirling modulating melody, that throbbing acid house vibe and those climactic builds and breaks - a new sound for the dancefloors of the planet. yes, this is 2010 and that was 18 years ago. a lot has happened since then and music has changed

you just wouldnt write a weird piano melody, put it through all your distortion pedals then write an epic post-disco jam around it. basically that doesnt work… or at least shouldnt… but das moth (aka: tokyo-dwelling dj, producer and punk bassist tim sullivan) has provided us with proof to the contrary in his debut 12 inch release featuring >moon< and the aptly titled >wrong<. yes it works, and its genius. we wont do any more head-scratching on how to describe this release, except to say that the vinyl is an absolute must-have, also featuring proto-house workout from heavyweights kink & neville watson.

is it balearic come back from their summer holidays with a release that is showing their intentions to set the standards in the world of balearic music. max essas latest 12inch for iib has the 20 (yes 20!) minute odyssey that is panorama suite. a sunset soundtrack of lush pads, guitars and synths that takes the listener on a super chilled balearic slo-mo disco magic carpet ride over the mediterranean. turn the page for something a little different. reminiscent of the talking heads/tom tom club 80s nyc funk boogie sound and with a killer sample - a little bit steinski ,uptown vibration is a slice of pure laidback dancefloor goodness. the man that is mark seven steps up to remix and mould the original into a (nu) dub disco classic. dancing to the vibrations through the floor indeed.

no stranger to straight up, tracky techno - the cuts on adam marshall’s third cynosure release are pure evidence of his familiarity with the genre. >searching< on side a is the slick, dj-friendly, jacker - reminiscent of detroits early sound. a relentless, but never tiring, deep analog bass sequence backed with marshalls signature grooves are the recipe here. killer just about sums it up. on the flip, >jamming the unit< is another tracky workout designed for the long-mix, followed by the kick-less basic channel-influenced builder, entitled >champion<. a perfect weapon in any techno set. yes, another timeless, ace of an ep - packed with mix appeal from adam marshall… order now!

yes people, like dillinja once said, its time to get grimey! at the end of september, the man, the myth, the legend, mr terror danjah blesses rwina with the reinforced ep. a storming 3 tracker of top class grime for the connoisseurs, the ep is fully equipped with lazershifting bass-terrorism and high-end sonic manipulation.the lead track,reinforced,switches from sweet but dark r&b vibes to classic acid-esque rave touches, guaranteeing a proper reaction on the floor. peanut punch, a collaboration with regular sparring-partner d.o.k., sprinkles neon highlights over a minimal, bass-led beat, while the ep finishes up with stomp test - 4 to the floor club music designed to kill any dance. rwina & terror danjah - a perfect fit.

bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk

deeeeeep ... and we love it. vinyl only! we predict future classics with these 2 tracks from comfortable records new secretive line of 12 inches, infectious vocals, dusty cord stabs and ride-the-horse grooves ... yes!

produced by visti & meyland

anybody never heard of moullinex? we can t imagine. blogs, music mags and dj s have been getting mad about the digitalfunk of luis clara gomes - better known as moullinex. and all this with only one official release! (breakchops ep 2009). the remix for two door cinema club (kitsune) has been a real club hit and his sebastien tellier remix was the one that had been most featured on playlists (along with a–trak s remix). yes: the remix for cut copy on modular was a bomb, too and his telonius remix is currently playlisted all around. guess that s the reason why so many labels have been chasing moullinex to sign on them. some have been really pushing him hard to join their roster, but luis preferred to stay with his munich buddies at gomma. and so now it is sure: this new moullinex ep is only the beginning of a whole series for gomma records.
