tyrees is an up and coming, london born and bred producer and dj with a heavy focus on breaks, bass and pads. his sound pays homage to and is an evolution of the elements that were so crucial in the uk dance music scene throughout the 90s and onwards. his love for hardcore, jungle and drum n bass of the early to mid ‘90s is principally important to the formation of his style. producers like tyrees are taking full advantage of the current wave of innovative and experimental styles of electronic dance music. with great respect and adoration, tyrees is combining percussive elements, rhythms, structures, samples and tempos from many genres and eras, creating familiar but fresh, unique and exciting sounds. aside from electronic dance music, tyrees is deeply interested in a broad spectrum of musical styles, notably the many sub-genres of jazz, soul and funk from the ‘60s and ‘70s, hip hop culture which was so heavily inspired by this music, and anything else from rock and orchestral pieces to world music and obscure osts. this obsession with music is apparent in the overall sound of his productions. “tidy” is a smooth and subtle journey through beautiful sample based pads, chopped breaks, synth lines and vocal samples. it is a gradually rising force, evolving with delicate bass and synth tones and a mysterious vocal narrative. it effortlessly transitions into a melodic latter half, concluding with a climactic, explosive drum

as headman gears up to release his sixth album it appears he is having something of an identity crisis... is he headman? or is he, as his mother named him, robi insinna? either way, he is one of disco s most daring of producers and, monikers aside, anything he releases is well worth your attention. especially this first sampler from the album 6. a collaborative affair, each track sees him teaming up with kindred spirits and friends to forge new groove paths and re-position old references. -work- takes a kraftwerkian recipe and stretches it like a well made pizza dough, -barbarism- dusts off the cosmic guitars for an enlightened star-gazing session, -der- sits happily between black strobe and jeff wayne while -sleep red- cruises towards dfa city limits in a cowbell escalade. each one of them will have you hankering for the album. guaranteed.

andy meecham is a man of many musical incarnations and has been since the early 90s. following on from projects like the now dormant bizarre inc and revived dub-disco duo chicken lips, it is as the emperor machine that he explores his most experimental sounds. to date there have been three full length albums on dc recordings after the project was initially started with the idea of creating music using just one synth, the roland sh-3a. the results lay out the staffordshire mans love of vintage synthesisers for all to see, and combine tough edged disco beats with more cerebral cosmic melodies into alluring soundscapes that bend your mind and drive your feet. as well as a slew of 12s and lps, the emperor machine has also turned his hand to remixes of giants like moby, daft punk and royksopp, and has previously taken a live and inspiringly psychedelic incarnation of the project to clubs and festivals across the planet.

when walter merziger and arno kammermeier head to the studio to work on new material for their long time project booka shade, the result is a winning combination of underground sensation and club hit, as titles such as mandarine girl and body language have proved to great acclaim. its a balancing act that only the most successful electronic musicians can do so successfully over such a period of time. booka shades new single >love inc< is no exception. presaging the fifth studio album release from these berlin transplants,>love inc< is infused with pure club sound created by merging a refined sense of sonance with solid craftsmanship. the duo pays a contemporary homage to chicagos former king of house, lil louis, whose 1992 hit club lonely serves as the tracks sample

all the way to the sun and back to the dance floor – madrid soul-rockers the right ons get the electroshock treatment from the emperor machine and gomma boss telonius.

hailing from new zealand, truth and decoda have established themselves as true heavyweights of the dubstep scene. following releases on several high profile labels, and their hit album >puppets< truth lay it down for wheel & deal.
truth & decoda – the emperor: emperor is the heavy hitting, distorted reese tearout monster with a dramatic intro of horror film proportions. this follows the dark jump up vibe of wheel & deal, and will smash up any dance.
truth & dutty ranks – calling you back: this is a upbeat style track, reminiscent of the older dubstep sound. with a tribal skank and haunted garage style vocal, this is soulful but sub heavy in its own right.
these have had support from n-type, walsh, hatcha, and mistajam to name but a few.

he has been called the baron of the beats, a knight of life, the life of the night, or even occasionally plain mike gamwell, to you and i though, he is only knightlife.
he is cutters records secret weapon and he is back with the 3rd tome in his royal club catalogue, serves you right / otherway.
the new 12 inch follows on from knightlife i (2007) and knightlife ii (2009), funnily enough, both promising quests into the future of dance with a healthy respect of the past from the melbourne-based producer. with a string of distinguished remixes in between times, serves you right / otherway again sees gamwell forge onwards and upwards, adding yet more strings to his accomplished bow.

the title track >radio anatomy< is a synth-laden italo monster, serious dance-floor material. detuned pads fizz under an arp and walking bass, caving in to a tear-away synth lead that pumps the tune into overdrive. the groove has a pace to it and sits on top of the beat and all surrounding articulation and effects keep things interesting.
on the flip we have got a serious remix from none other than emperor machine. this guy has been unstoppable in the remix department for some time, and it doesnt look like he will be faltering anytime soon! we are initiated with brioskis fantastic original bass and pad sequence, but in typical e.m. fashion the build up is sustained and full of suspense. haunting vocal chants ensue before the bass drops and the funk kicks in. what a drop! the switches are clever, the instrumentation is solid and the vibe is out of this world. brioski - >radio anatomy is an unforgiving italo dance-floor release, with help from one of nangs finer contributors.

>how deep is your love< is the first single from the raptures forthcoming album in the grace of your love, their first full length release on the dfa label. the record was recorded in brooklyn and paris, france, and produced by phillippe zdar, who has also worked with chromeo, phoenix, air, daft punk and cut copy. zdar is also one half of the duo cassius.
