nice price deal !!! after a year that saw a number of fast paced releases from new co-signings xilent, high maintenance and fourward, the mighty mainframe continued their relentless string of hits in 2012 with a reworking of body & soul and fourward’s classic >authority< and >carnage<. led by dnb veteran and label owner, disaszt, mainframe keeps things moving with yet another massive release, this time an explosive ep from rising star, high maintenance.

>with you< and >nowhere< is the debut single from brighton based producer high maintenance, the newest exclusive co-signing to shimon s audioporn records and disaszts mainframe recordings labels, which have already seen landmark releases by dirtyphonics, ram trilogy, camo and krooked, matrix, tali and the massive >choose me ep< by fellow new audioporn signing, xilent.

this latest single from disaszt is the third in a series of five to be taken from >shadow & lightning<, and delivers two of the dirtiest slices of dancefloor d&b you will hear all year. both tracks here are collaborations, >try me again< sees disaszt link with high maintenance a recent signing to shimons audio porn label, while >ultimate win< sees him join forces with regular studio buddies and fellow austrians kos & tenchu.

san francisco-based dj/producer nick monaco has long been part of the soul clap family, releasing his first 12- on the label back in 2012. mating call, a double 12- set running at album length, is easily his most expansive release yet. it s typically eccentric, delivering a range of songs - featuring his own distinctive vocals - that blend numerous styles whilst retaining a loose, funky and altogether rather kaleidoscopic feel. it s rooted in balearic pop, but also touches on dub, deep house, boogie, dub disco and a strangely deep and contemporary take on the triple-beat rhythms of glam rock. it s hard to accurately describe, but is really rather good, certainly, it s one of soul clap s strongest releases of recent times.

in kooperation mit skiinfo.de praesentiert das renommierte black hole-label die compilation -snow dance 002- mit einem stilsicheren und hochkaraetigen mix aus progressive, trance & electro auf cd1 (mit tiesto, deadmau5, ferry corsten, bt, ronski speed u.v.a.), sowie dubstep und drum & bass auf cd2 (mit noisia, drumsound & bassline smith, serial killaz, metrik, the crystal method, freestylers u.v.a.). die moderne art von apres-ski als 2cd!

schönes listening-technoalbum mit gastvocals von miss kittin und sam leigh-brown
