ian pooley makes his debut appearance on simple to kick start what is shaping up to be a bumper year for the label. german ian pooley hails from mainz but recently found a new home in berlin. ian is well known as a remixer and for his own prolific output bridging the gap between techno and house, creating superb tracks such as the massive >celtic cross< & >chord memory< on the force inc. music works, as well as recording more housier and disco orientated workouts for labels such as john acquavivas definitive recordings, effective records and nrk sound division. ian has also remixed for daft punk, the cardigans, the beloved, green velvet, modjo, nick holder and many more. ian has recorded two albums for v2 records, his debut >meridian< was a classic late 90s pooley album, full of tech-house delights and including the massive >whats your number< as remixed by jazzanova and bob sinclair. followed by huge albums >souveniers< and >since then<, and most recently >in other words< featuring robert owens, tim fuller and perry colo. most recently hes been busy djing across the globe, producing new music for the likes of us and producing for artists such as get physicals dj t. nightscape - a deep, heads down house groove that locks you in with its lovingly crafted percussion and beautifully bouncy bassline, whilst the wistful, melancholic pads are food for the soul. ians experience in production shines throughout the ep, making the tracks as much of a delight on the head phones as they are on a function one soundsystem. difference (jupiter/eight mixes) - intricate percussive rhythms combine with a rubbery bassline and rich poly stabs to set the tone. strings build and release the tension and a delicate piano riff brings the soul. the evolution of the patterns sees a heady crescendo for the floor. for the >eight mix< ian reworks the stabs and bass-line and pushes out a more straight ahead groove

your know you are doing something right when greg wilson comes knocking at your door for some disco edit action. such is the life now for croation nu disco gem ilija rudmen. after a series of releases on labels rong, infant and deep freeze, bearfunk were quick to grab dance disorder and wasted no time in asking their studio neighbours faze action to step up. their synth bass, low slung and sleazy remix, with a dose of their trademark strings hits the spot. this sits snuggly with ilijas original which mixes in real bass and guitar with his analog heavy funk laden grooves.

anorak 002 from the mysterious fat camp collective heads to the deep south for feeling and rock your georgie, both of which have a gator swamp feel to them with a slight twist of jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo. yum! they are aided in their culinary mission by penthouse disco, whose nipples are rather daringly on display in a wanton admission of fallen virtue.

because of the keen idea to have at least 3 good releases within the first 10 records, it was clear that nobody else but phillip lauer would be able to sort this out on brontosaurus 10. so after #1 & #5 here is # 10 from the man. set your clock! its kinda metric. with 10 releases on his back the brontosaurus is no greenhorn anymore. we found out a few things: 1) we will never know if good music does not sell. >2) printing your own covers is an honourable thing to do but it is a lot of work! > 3) its still fun in the end so lets stick around for the next 10 releases and check this commanding 3 tracker.

pure analogue italo-esque vocoder tackle from berlin that really hits the spot. pretty face is midtempo and slightly menacing and happy birthday shifts the tempo up a bit and treats the vocals to the other end of the vocoder spectrum. they are totally separate but sequenced so you can let the side run thru (a trick we pinched from disconet and hot tracks) or take your pick

big with : loco dice, luciano, sis, reboot !!! the release is the last of the masomenos live mix project... and close the serie of 8 eps that were released for this... a sided les 3 petits cochons is a real dancefloor tune, heavy and funky, as in the tale, you can feel the wolf blowing and the little pigs running... on b side, loco is an old - school sound track, deep and moody, with some crazy vocal asking for some bass... b2 , turtle is back, is a dubby re-do of one of the first masomenos production...turtle trip... same mood, heavier groove....slowly but surely the melody gets in your head to mesmerise you...

yagya has made a new album for us. we cant think of any other way to start this new, promising year as delightful. rigning is the icelandic word for rain and is aoalsteinn guomundssons third full length, the previous one will i dream during the process bestselling on sending orbs, the first one rythm of snow on legendary out of print status on force inc. yes, we think this album is a new step forward for yagya and we think this album has the prettiest and saddest melodies ever on a dub techno/ambient record, but we most kindly invite you to be your own judge. brilliant dub techno ambient album!

sonic, one of the busiest german house-djs, teams up with multi-talent taste t for the 2nd time on amused records. on >eighty eight< they express their musicality by using acoustic sounds in an electronic base frame. a piano plays the leading part and gives the track its name with regard to the 88 keys of this instrument. once heard you will not get this melody out of your head! on the flip the stereodudes add a stronger drumming and a powerful bassline that kicks ass!

after several months of hard video- and filmwork, and several awards, french-vietnamese cutie tk.kim aka. pop-3 will finally release some new tracks, on vinyl and online, and by the way, she promised to release more stuff in 2009! so, the new release, chicks and cuts, with 8 tracks online and a 4-track vinyl 12, is definitely dancy, clubby and loud. definitely in the tradition of pop-3s former releases, that never perfectly fitted a precise music category and prove that tk.kim still refuses to be house, tec or minimal. shes all of them or none of them. and what does chicks and cuts sound like, then? boomy squeaking analog sequences combined with delicious samples of her sweet voice will delight the dancefloor, lo-fi audio splinters coming out of old analog drummachines play something like very reduced melodies, and well shaped bassdrums and deep synths will delight your tummies. the very minimal lyrics are in french, as usual. and, goodie: sonja moonear and akiko kiyama contribute with amazing remixes to this fine girls-only oeuvre, rhythmical and minimal but still very harmonious the one by akiko, deep and mysterious the one by sonja. and by the way, the cover is really sweet, people say.

played by: ricardo villalobos, steve bug & matthias tanzmann minimono delights us once again with two new refreshing tracks. >stay away< is a typical minimono track, with playful cartoon-like sounds, the aesthetics of minimal and a housy groove. sounds like fun, huh? in contrast >el guapo< could be interpreted as deephouse, but the snappy beats keep your feet moving while the chord-like sounds make you want to close your eyes and just drift away.

>was originally called <319 acid<, similar to 516 acid , but it was called 319 as i started this on march 19th 2007. after playing around with ideas, and effects, i had created a panning motion in the track which when listened to in headphones travels in a >counter clock< wise fashion. i was listening to a set of (dj) dixon and noticed how slow and groovy most of the set was, which influenced me to make a twisted, intense track that was in the same tempo range.< josh wink ! chirs liebing comes on board for the remix and keeps a lot of the key elements, but delivers a more in your face version

first vinyl pressing of twin infinitives since the original vinyl issue in 1990. after moving to san francisco, royal trux released the highly experimental double album twin infinitives. this album remains an extreme work on the periphery of rock music, worthy of being compared to lou reeds metal machine music and suicides debut album. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high brow allusions, twin infinitives nearly reeks of vice, a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery.

here comes part 2 of the tuxedo band from livio & roby. grand final evolved from a co-operation with george g. these guys really know how to work the crowd. truly a sure shot. in amonte is a deep and monotone track with a funky bassline and constantly changing percussive elements as well as bells and guitars which define the melodic theme. if the first part was right up your alley the second part will leave you flabbergasted. a simply huge release

stone cold classic funky disco floor filler thats stood the test of time. first time ever on 12inch!!! taken from the hard to find self titled lp by tommy stewart, bump & hustle music is the definitive disco funk party anthem. it was recorded in 1976 in atlanta, georgia, and since then the lp has found itself in the play boxes of soul, funk and jazz djs alike. however, its not until now that this amazing song has finally made it onto the preferred format of dance djs the world over – the 45rpm 12inch single. in 1976 tommy stewart was a busy man, working as an arranger, producer, performer and writer for a host of soul and rnb artists. the lp made for abraxas records was the first to go directly under his name, and although it failed to take off locally, the lp soon became known by djs across the world primarily for the club smash bump & hustle music. as it happens that song in particular almost didnt exist but for tommy needing to come up with something quick in order to fill in a gap in the album. conceived and recorded on the spur of the moment, and with backing vocals by isaac hayes singers hot buttered soul overdubbed later, its a superb example of rhythmic simplicity blended with soulful, catchy harmonies. its just impossible to listen to bump & hustle music without a broad smile coming to your face, and when played loud in a club, its impossible not to dance!
