slg schmiedet eine stilvolle waffe für den dancefloor die vor vitalität und musikalität nur so strotzt. da merkt man, dass der gute seit 10 jahren musiziert

>earthworm< ist eine moderne version von dem was daniel bell mitte der 90er auf accelerate herausgebracht hat. ein gnadenlos linearer aber zugleich funkiger track, der einen in den bann zieht - ob man nun will oder nicht

hammered by steve bug, ralph lawson, simon baker, mike shannon, tommy four seven, phonogenic, so strong! after a fab 3 track ep on 2020 vision in the last couple of months, burnski is back with his second ep on morris audio. >skip tha< is a great peace of house music, which sounds great in either the warm up or grave yard slot of the night. with smooth melodys, funky bassline and a great groove, is has everything to get people jackin! on the flip comes a awesome remix from slg (trapez, channels records), who speeds up the pace and gets things moving with his trademark tricky patterns. a absoloute must have record for two artists causing alot of hype at the minute - this record shows why!

the a-side, >slap back< is a peak time, funk packed rave destroyer with all the right moves. shuffled grooves, doubled kick drums, slick edits and a monster hook equals a prime time bomb. tried tested and true, this cut is sure to raise the roof. >fridge funk< takes things slightly deeper on the b-side but follows suit to >slap back<. in its ability to peak and burn a dancefloor. layers of swinging percussion build up to a deep melody that breathes and filters up to the essence of funk, purely expressed in the monster bassline. to cut it short, this selection is simply massive and is sure to be part of your soundtrack to many a summer night sessions . dj support by tom clark, jeff milligan, laurent garnier

teil 1 eines umfassenden remixtributes für die aufstrebenden polen. der florian meindl mix von >coffeine< ist ein flachleger vom allerfeinsten. keule. keule. keule. bülent gürler lässt es etwas entspannter, geradezu deephousig angehen. spitzending, das

slicker geht nimmer. zweiter teil des slg tribute-pakets geht los mit einem blitzsauberen sandiego minimal mix um dann auf der b-seite etwas ravig-verschrobener mit oliver hacke und reduziert-trancey mit larsson abzuschliessen

das polnische gegenstück zu jeff samuel mit einer viererpackung hüpfender techhouse treffer

with his second 12 on trapez following his brilliant debut ep >nine hours< released august 2006, the top polish producer slg aka lukasz seliga takes it one step further proving his skil of producing finest post detroit techno music that can rock the clubs worldwide. both tracks are hypnotic techno groovers with a soulful and depp energy. they move very gently and every step is chosen thoughtfully

zwei wundervolle post-detroit stücke die zeigen das minimaler techno noch nicht tot ist. in diesem fall riecht er noch nicht mal schlecht !!

wunderschöne kombination von techno und house mit einem wahnsinnig geilen stück das auf den namen 'anymore' hört. das hätte ein richard davis nicht besser hinbekommen

4 track ep with superb minimal tech groover, fresh sounds !!

the debut ep from seltron 400, aka, polish dance favourites eltron john (uncanny valley / transatlantyk) and slg (studio barnhus / step), arriving on most, following a recent appearance on catz and dogz pets recordings. stemming from a run of well-received back-to-back sets, these close friends emerge from the studio with two imaginative slices of house and contemporary electro, alongside a jackin bonus beats accompaniment. after a well-received boiler room set, the duo will promote their officialdebutin summer 2017with aproper live act.

chmara is an artist better known for the duet chmara winter, which created a number of releases for pets recordings. currently he is producing by himself and joining forces with otake records. *spring* has its unique position in the catalog of young label from warsaw. the vinyl is original, surprising, flourishing and simply beautiful. some herberts or dj koze inspirations can be felt, however, a solid character of these tracks gives a clear understanding that chmara has his unrepeatable unique style that can not be faked. lyrics, wonderful chmaras timbre plus accompanying female vocals give an image of surreal order. it is a beautiful, harmonious hallucination caused by nothing but music. the record also contains two remixes from slg and piotr bejnar - the owner of otake records.

deo & z-man, the blood-brothers from hamburg, pulled off one of the most creative feats of last year with their debut album, no bullshit , with zero bs but plenty of inspiration, the pair melted together a range of influences with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humour for their underground opus. the remix lp to follow this ep solidifies their commitment to the eclectic, drafting in friends and family like lee burton, erobique and tigerskin to rework the magic.

born in australia but moving to japan in 2000, luke le mans is the main organizer of the night >quop< in osaka which focused on bringing big international djs and contribute to create a scene in the roughest japanese city. after releasing his debut ep on trapez luke is back with this 2 tracker ontrenton. much more mature, his talent as a producer are undeniable and we hope that this will be the beginning of long series of old school but yet modern minimal material for trenton. >dark helmet< has dry beats and a funky bass line with a crazy chords pattern that has some sort of a b horror movie vibe… like a minimal techno version of a dario argentos soundtrack, dark helmet will bring you out-there! the second track called >lisa< is a bit more old school but still rules and the endless loopy bass ramp that just keeps on building up will make your legs feel a bit less heavy and your mouth a bit thirstier… slg is back on trenton, but for a remix this time. after is very first ep on our label we are proud to have him back. his version of >dark helmet< is just outstanding… pure slg style, it has it all: detroit, minimal, forward, groovy… if you are still sitting in a clubs corner after hearing that on the p.a…. means that you have serious issues with being able to feel the funk!!

sandiego ist ein frisches talent aus milano. das a-seiten stück >axum< ist martialisch, sehr rhythmisch und geschickt in der ständigen veränderung des grooves der eine >clonkige< note trägt. >rogoredeo< verbindet post detroit einflüsse wie sie slg auch aufgreift, setzt sie aber in einen zusammenhang der europäische einflüsse zur geltung bringt und lässt nicht zuletzt deutlich mediterrane rhythmusvarianten einfließen, die auch ein wenig an alex under erinnern

der traum artist kommt gleich 5mal in den genuss den interpretationen gewiefter spezialisten zu lauschen. als da wären: slg, fax, jeff milligan, anders ilar & daniel fritschi
