>i keep asking myself where they take all that brilliant music from. its just as if somebody had poked a bees nest and then it all burst out. i feel deeply connected to the pampa style…< (terry hogann, the musical mistress, 10/2010). as was to be expected, pampa is steadily developing into a platform for cross-border electronic dance music. each pampa release sounds different from the previous and still pampa remains a conclusive musical planet. this is all the more surprising in the case of pampa005, which features two completely different artists: side a: nathan fake - xmas rush having reportedly recorded his track >xmas rush< in his london studio during a jam session, nathan fake (border community, traum, saw) has turned in a total brainfuck. its mercylessly exaggerated, psychedelic, inexorable, and at the same time sweet and heart-warming. a very rare mixture. unique in its consistency, we havent heard anything like it since the 90s. its so nice and overwhelming to have your ears exercised the right way again. evergreen… side aa: dj koze pays tribute to michael smith - >mi cyaan believe it< in the meantime, dj koze has moved on to completely different spheres. once again, he astonishes his public with an extremely danceable version of michael smiths >mi cyaan believe it<. having originally started off as a digital error, and recorded within a single night, this tune recalls the ruthlessness, rawness and revolutionary energy of public enemy

auf den 7 tracks auf >pattern & grid world< begegnen wir synth- & vocoder-sounds, schizophrenem ping-pong-electro & nintendo-melodien, klassischem grime, bass- und drum-experimenten und schamanischen zeremonien. die maschinen / roboter / aliens sprechen, singen und erzeugen geräusche, teilweise aber auch eine eigenartige klangwärme irgendwo zwischen vintage dj premier und lee hazelwood (time vampires). entsprechend subtil-psychedelisch fällt auch das von dem bekannten designer theo ellsworth erstellte coverartwork aus

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË

2010 has seen some juicy, off-the-wall techno/electronic vinyl goodies from the head space of little nobody, including the acclaimed >metropolis how?< and >robota< records - with remixes by the likes of james ruskin, justin berkovi, inigo kennedy, dj hi-shock, si begg, patrick pulsinger and steve stoll. but its the originator of the tracks who continues to push the perimeters, recently leading hi-shock, the prolific innovator behind the essential elektrax empire, to suggest that honestly, i think you are at least a couple of years ahead in your musical vision compared to other producers. little nobodys alter ego andrez bergen has also had his head buried this year in the creation of a hardboiled/noir/sci-fi novel called >tobacco-stained mountain goat<, and it was in the midst of this project - with these heady influences - that the get away from it all 12-inch project came to light. thus we got on board bas mooy (planet rhythm/audio assault) and dave tarrida (tresor/musick) to do the two scintillating re-takes here, which are downright brilliant. meanwhile little nobodys troll, on the flip-side, lives up to its claim: its hardboiled and devastatingly dirty electronica. all up, think streetwise, smack-your-glitch-up techno - dark, uber-bassy, dirty and pulsating - just the way we like it, with sardonic samples and a freestyle, postmodern attitude thats invigorating. matched up with the cool artwork by marcin markowski, this is an essential slab of wax for 4:00 am head-caving techno!

for this tune hem and terrible shock take apart an 80s soul lp, add some sci-fi synths, lazy drums and a sprinkling of analogue fx. after many painstaking hours of recording the duo take a well earned coffee break, then return to the studio just in time to see the back of the light-footed blunted robots man shortstuff as he runs off chuckling >your vocals are mine now!<. revenge plans are made, vehicles are fuelled up in preparation ? but these activities are cut short by the arrival of an email from the culprit ? it seems that he took the files back to his hq for what he describes as a refix ? with the engines still running, hem and shox check out the file and find it to be a work of genius ? what they hear is an accelerated kaleidoscopic fusion of on-beat claps and snares in a peak-time northern soul style, super heavy subbass hits and hectic syncopated keyboard chops.

big with: sven väth, mandy, joel alter, laurent garnier, timo maas, deetron, dustin zahn, matt john, joris voorn, claude vonstroke, ramon tapia, shinedoe, martin eyerer, danny tenaglia, speedy j, dubfire, paco osuna, osunlade, ... no matter where you spent your last summer holidays , davide squillace or luca bacchetti were there to rock a club or a festival near you , spreading the hideout sound and life style around europe and beyond . but dont think the two accomplices only spent the last months hanging out on sunny beaches when they were not behind decks or waiting for their next flights. they were plotting for something big : deconstructed revisited. deconstructed revisited is a brand new series of releases , bringing friends and artists davide and luca like and respect into the family.

its been a while for mr lovebirds and also the label teardrop to serve some fresh slices of homemade house jam. well, we think it better not to put out every bonus beat we program and rather wait until we have something that really deserves to be thrown in todays pool of musical randomness. do we sound bitter again? sorry, for that … must be the age. so … love & happiness. yeah, i want that and probably everybody does … well here ya go: its a slick slow house bomb with proper oldskool 909 drums and some sliding portamento chords that wont never leave your head!! at least until the breakdown when this track takes you even further back in time to that beautiful intro that has rarely been used more beautifully. its been tested for months now by vincenzo, phonique and mr bird himself and devestated every floor so far. let me put it this way - this is biiiig!!!! flipside is the rain - classic 90ies deephouse with a touch of kerri which we all love right? this has the typical lovebirds warmth that we all need in these modern techno times. and in this autumn too. none other than mr steve bug took care of the remix and delivered a superb very 90ies new yorican style version. keeping the warmth he added some percussion to it and turned this into a nice builder. enough talk … we are very excited about this release and looking forward to your full love on this one. play it loud and everywhere!! and maybe even chart it if youre a good lad!!

two more missives from the leng stable, a stable basking in late afternoon sunshine the whole year round. here we have two remixes of cantoma tracks. on side a is ray mangs remix of under the stars a subtle disco groove, with a sweet rolling bass and a languid horn line that gently eases into the back of your mind, luring you into a hypnotic swirl. over on side-b lexx steps up to deliver an equally stunning take on gambara immdediately setting out a more electronic lilt, the track steadily builds into a mid tempo throb as the vocals wash over proceedings, while flute and acoustic guitar make way for each other in the melody stakes. timeless sounds on both sides evoking the summer just passed
