fantastic air - album... special backstock action

welcome to electric city. am sa 13. 8. 2011 findet im anschluss an die alljährliche street parade erstmals das grösste techno-, tech-house- und minimal-festival electric city im riesigen maag-areal auf vier dancefloors und einer einladenden openair-zone statt, im herzen von zürich-west. von 21h bis 07h werden drei dutzend führende galionsfiguren der elektronischen tanzmusik für euphorische stimmung sorgen. das einstige industrie-areal einer zahnradfabrik ist der ideale schauplatz eines dance-events der extraklasse: electric city. das internationale line up gehört zum besten, was die schweiz dieses jahr zu bieten hat. mit top-acts wie adam beyer (swe), dj rush (usa), umek (slowenien), anthony rother (d), der dritte raum (d) live, felix kröcher (d), kollektiv turmstrasse (d), round table knights (ch), angy kore (i), marcel warren (ch), lars lindenberg (ch), marcos del sol u. v. a.

golden earring have been together since 1961 and the current line-up includes two founding members george kooymans (vocals and guitar) and rinus gerritsen (bass, keyboard) along with barry hay (vocals, guitar, flute and saxophone) a member since 1968 and cesar zuiderwijk (drums) a member since 1970.
they have had over 40 hits and 30 albums, many achieving either gold or platinum status in their home country, the netherlands. they are best known for their 1973 hit single >radar love< and their 1982 single >twilight zone<.
the album >contraband< was originally released in 1976. its the first album that features the former cuby and the blizzards blues guitarist eelco gelling which makes it a very guitar orientated album.

yes ... we release records. yes, its marvellous to see that journey from the spring to the sea, that spark of inspiration in an artists eye as it traverses its way to a beautifully packaged piece of 180g vinyl ... but sometimes, its also nice to remember why we started a label in the first place and to visit that dusty corner of the studio where synths, patch cables and spring reverbs lie in wait, taunting us go beyond that perfect 3am comfort zone of the 8 bar loop, hazy red/orange lights and aromatic combustibles.
in order words, heres what we did last summer ... two new ifeel studio tracks to stimulate your solar sensibilities, guest starring (via the wonders of skype) richard hawleys band, a reclusive mittle european synthesist and (lest we forget) his eccentric and slightly mad octogenarian lawyer.

sampler #3 from the global communication back in the box compilation album, the techno and ambient retrospective selected by tom middleton and mark pritchard, back together again after a 15 year hiatus. opening up this seriously hot four track ep is an ultra rare and often overlooked carl craig remix of yennek, aka kenny larkin. two detroit pioneers collide on this beauty, with delicate oscillating keys gliding over a heavyweight breakbeat and clattering hats, a signature style of carl s. the track really kicks in with the bassline and monumental pitch bending synth stabs. a real must have for anyone with a love for the original detroit sound

from the very start, track one the first thirteen minutes of love opens the album with over ten minutes of ambient unlike anything you’ve heard in years, a long, elegiac composition somewhere between carl craig and the chill-out zone at a bygone rave. it’s a warning: take a deep breath before being swept away by eight tracks that span detroit and berlin, front 242 and carl craig, linking them via soaring trance, carefully-crafted minimal, the sound of the 90s, the sound of the new millennium. it’s hard to imagine the strike force and heart pangs it will inevitably inflict on any club in the know

dials sublabel laid comes up again with a double feature for true house music lovers. catalogue number 11 features tracks by uks juergen junker and our wellknown buddy lowtec. after playing together at the legendary sud electronic/ uzuri parties in london efdemin, lawrence and carsten jost fell deeply in love with with juergen junkers amazing dj & live sets and his wonderful productions. his own label neurythmics was like a secret treasure to be explored. followed by a lovely release on efdemins naif imprint he now enteres the laid zone with two deeply rooted house pieces. lowtec has always been a main influence of the dial/laid family and after his huge underground hit of last years workshop ep (laid07 with kassem mosse) he presents a dirty rhodes stomper to hit the house floors again. freaky alert!

limited run of 300 copies with din-a3 artwork included clear your throat. understand. sometimes. only sometimes. there is this feeling that there are people out there, illuminated people with a plan. where the music, the approach, the images, the design, the artwork, everything is flowing together and leading into a common transcendent theme. meet ctf 2 by bruno gauthier. a (can we say this, bruno?) veteran updating the epic gospel which was started by the mysterious one with a boom - the boom which broke the nothingness. the spark of inspiration has arrived in this universe. >existing reality< is a teslaesque algorithm for the universal prescription of all antidotes. it is basic and complex. it offers a minimal lushness, a universe within a universe. flip this galaxy. >music takes control< is a maelstrom that sucks all gravity away into the anti matter zone. its razor sharp vortex cutting away the peels of space and time, a radical march of nouveau deepness. or is it steepness? ctf is on base 2, the next beachhead for world domination.

planet rhythm is in the zone, slammer after slammer. always on top in charts and aint no dj without some of the planet rhythm tune in his bag. the next hit is by focus and analogmode labelboss spiros kaloumenos. and its another slaaaaaaamer!! big beats, basslines and full of energy. another one that is rocking the clubs all over the place.

part 2 of the trombipolution ep from nycs jerome sydenham

it would be a complete mistake for any house imprint not to include a us talent in his catalog, this wont be the case for apersonal music. on its third effort the label takes his first journey to the grounds of american house. from arizona, michael j collins with remix rework from bostons house-sons soul clap, plus the first collaboration for apersonal from maurice aymard. a side single nothing wrong with holding on show us the most eclectic side of the label so far. looped vocals, broken house with a saxo on top. michaels talent goes beyond genres mixing elements from different styles to create this great piece of music. soul clap delivers, as usual, top stuff! in their remix they speed up the bpm and add a hip-breaker bassline taking the original track to the dancefloor war zone. second remix from maurice aymard, himself at the controls plus venezuelan producer garnica hitting the drums, they take the track to a trippy slowmo version, what maurices catalogs as his best remix so far.

two years after their great received >under the bridge ep< gowentgone are back with their third full release on vidab records. the >walk with us ep< is another deep statement of gowentgones passion for housemusic and techno. >strange light< runs over eight minutes focusing on a central rim-theme that is embedded in a wall of layers. >move of the day< is a dynamic and simple mover that draws us deep into a tooly and mechanic sound. the ep s last track, >burning flowers< ist the pairs interpretation of house that morphs pleasingly into a spaced chillout zone. enjoy this one.

the third in a series on theory featuring previously unreleased tracks that have been doing damage on the floors around the globe in sets from a select few djs, plus 2 remixes that were digital only now see vinyl action.
from the seriously intense remix of dj t-1000s classic to the heavy acid house rework of tim baker, this ep is peak time material, tried and tested tough club cuts that we are happy to finally release. enjoy!
dj support from: ben sims, paul mac, dave clarke, christian smith and more

reference (planet e / echospace / beretta) consists of the detroit-based artists luke hess & brian kage. in the first reference vs project we squeezed some of the party out of seth troxler and some of the percussion expertise from ryan crosson to create the still sought after tracks >the fade< and >the bumps<. in the second installment of our reference vs series we wanted to get a bit more soulful, & deep with the music, and highlight two of the worlds finest dub techno artists - stephen hitchell (cv313) and marko furstenburg (surphase). stephen hitchell aka cv313 is first a sound engineer. his experiments with synthesis create a warm, ethereal, and organic analog sound all his own. in the reference vs projects we seek to extract the natural strengths of the artist. when we received the files from stephen we knew we were packing heat! we structured our zone around the life-like chord structure that cv313 so effortlessly creates and gave it some more dance floor flavor. we believe the track titled >the wake< will fill dance-floors over the summer months on the beach as well as in the clubs. what can we say. markos shuffled dub stab style has been in demand since the artist started releasing on thinner back in 2002. mr. fürstenbergs deep and emotional music is an extension of his character. we were happy to receive what we expected from marko, super percussive, cavernous, and soulful soundscapes. again we referenced the package out with some drones, new analog rhythms, and eureka. the zone continues relentlessly in >the swell< to carry the dancer through the night into another summer day in the sun

following the success of the midnight express single >danger zone<, robbie m and terry patton continued to search for new sounds. over the next few years the duo would produce dozens of instrumental sketches. terry always recorded these backing arrangements to cassette tapes so they could easily listen to them later in the car. cruising the streets of rock island il, vocalist robbie m would write the additional melodies and lyrics.

the essential subsolo imprint drops another indispensable release. on the a side we have >maximum height<: a electroesque static bass tune with cryptic ambience, nautical!. flip over for b side pressure. maximum width subsolos next pitch, not missing the strike zone. this knuckle ball will score for sure. incredible street track that will break bones

nice price deal !!! a deep grooving soulful affair!! includes 2 nice remixes by atjazz!! the remix on a side is a scratchy techy peaktime bomb while the dub should please the morning crowd!! ltd backstock

blackstrobe are back from beyond. their newest dance floor gems are a foray back into the darkest realms of disco with their unique blend of boogietrance, softgoth, gaybiker house music. on their latest release they employ deep gothy hooks that match perfectly with a nostalgic italo flair and dark disco pulses. dancefloor zombies and casual listeners should find these retro-futurist tracks akin to the worlds of john carpenter and the twilight zone. trevor jackson >great release< // chloé >good tracks, will play them< // dj hell >great single<

ricardo jefferson is a producer and dj based in manchester, england. the four tracks on this ep demonstrate a distinctive style. the roots of his sound are in funk, disco, space rock, prog rock, but he has melded them into a sound that is more than just the sum of these elements. this is funky, bass-heavy, trippy techno for the dance floor. a1 a brutal truth. this is a big tune that builds relentlessly. the track has an inclusive, celebrational, feel which simply invites everyone to lose it on the dance floor. 124bpm. a2 persons unknown. this tune doesn t have the relentless build of a brutal truth. instead, this is a tune to drop when everyone on the dancefloor is in the zone and locked into the groove. a finely crafted trip created with multiple delays skittering around the sound field, anchored by the funky bass heavy groove. 123 bpm. b1 the egg part one. a track employing a tight kick drum of differing weights to propel the groove, overlayed with a circular keyboard motif. on the off-beat, add the processed sound of someone hitting a metal sheet, and viola! - one aggressively funky dance floor bomb! 123 bpm. b2 god of the machine. this track has a simple 4x4 kick and handclap pattern pinning down a delicious oscillating bass line, under a classic descending four chord circular chord progression. off kilter ride cymbals give the track its backbone, and fluidity. ricocheting handclap delays add dimension. sly stone would be proud of this groove. now get on the dance floor and strut your stuff! 119 bpm. the cover shows a still image from the music video a brutal truth directed by ricardo jefferson and laura lee.

reincarnations newest release is an ep from italian skillful dj and producer riccardo luchini better know ricky l. ricky is resident of the legendary house club red zone in perugia since 1990. simple & nasty is a massive deep track already tested on the dancefloor of the red zone, simple but very effective. yes week end is more old school house orientated, and lbs 5 a.m. a cosmic, dub, kickless tool. his tracks are released on prestigious and respected labels such as un restricted access, restricted tracks, ibadan, yoruba...

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

first installment of extended versions from the dance classics album. on the a-side is the percussion driven woman , a favorite at ron’s popular event africa hi fi. intoxicate is on the flip, signature 909 drums over a heavy bass and organ sound for those red zone & sound factory fans.

psychoaktiver düster-techno mit groove, kraft & geschick. tolles ding aus der twilight zone

long and sleepless nights were the inspiration for slaapgebrek wich means sleep deprivation in dutch. the results of these sessions are two moody & hallucinogenic tracks, wich represent a state of mind only to be experienced after many restless nights. the original mix with its freaked out shuffled drumpatterns, rave stabs and maximal modulated bassline is peaktime dancefloor fudder for any crazed techno night. frustrated bleeps and fx give it a nervous twilight zone like feel, climaxing and clashing throughout the track. the flipside takes things on a lighter, more emotion ridden tip. the rhythm is stripped down of all nastiness and the bassline friendlier and melodic. halfway through the break the violins kick in, resembling the break of dawn after another night of turning and twisting without getting any much deserved rest. perfect afterhour material.
