Our series Love Songs for Dragons welcomes a debut from the romanian artist Dragos Ungureanu, signing PFR003 with his Opus EP.

This new vinyl from Gynoid's sub-label Translucent is a strong dub techno EP from Kristian Heikkila featuring the lovely Petra Valej on moody vocals. Added are remixes from legendary Samuel L Session with a techy uplifting version, Advanced Human with a sharp, dubby techno version and to round off the release we also get a tooled up, instrumental dj edit. All sure ingredients that make this wax complete, dark and beautiful.

With Moon Harbour boss Matthias Tanzmann's latest and greatest album Momentum still making an impact on global dance floors, his label now looks to remix some key tracks from it. Getting the nod on the first of two such packages is returning favourite Andrea Oliva, plus new school stars Andhim and the legendary figures that are Josh Wink and Jesse Rose.

Swiss tech house titan Andrea Oliva has been kicking out the jams on labels like Relief, Moon Harbour and Rejected for years. He opens things here with a turbocharged, bass-driven take on 'Shake Shake' that is mischievous and filled with ever more tension. When it finally gets released the 'floor is sure to explode as the drums kick once more. Ovum boss Josh Wink is a pillar of the global dance community who always comes correct, and he does so once again here with a heartwarming take on 'Laika' that marries incendiary hi hats with deep house drums and cosmic synth stabs. Running through it all are some classic acid sounds for that full on Wink effect.

By now Andhim are one of the most established modern tech house acts thanks to their inventive beats on labels like Get Physical. Their version of 'Coffee Clouds' is wonderful bleepy and melodic, with rain-like keys and globular synthesised sounds all layered over jumbled drums. It feels tribal and colourful, organic yet trippy. Last of all is the Jesse Rose, who for many years has been an ever-evolving producer, boss of Pay It Down and Made To Play, master of myriad club styles and king of the quirky groove. But, after one final album that is due soon, he will leave it all behind and head off into retirement. Before that, he comes correct on his wonky version of 'Rybu' with its low slung drums, curious vocals, neon chord stabs and playful and fun sense of groove all popping out of the speakers.

All four cuts here really pack a punch and prove that Moon Harbour exactly have their finger on the pulse when it comes to fine remix talents.

For our 21st edition of our Limited series, we have decided to fuse the creations of label regular Mattias Fridell, the always relevant P.E.A.R.L and the ever prolific Antonio De Angelis. The result is as pleasing as we hoped for. While Mattias conveys two of the most important originals works
he made to date, P.E.A.R.L shows the authentic spirit of Spanish techno and Antonio De Angelis tears down the structure to rebuilt it into an emotional masterpiece, with their remixes. So here it is, hopefully you'll enjoy this purist 12" that aims to set the standard for the sound of techno 2017.

Germany's favourite house duo andhim return to their Superfriends label with Icelandic singer Högni for a new double single, 'Stay Close To Me'.

We have always been big fans of Högni whether his musical project GusGus or Hjtalin, so it was really special for us to work with him. We really took our time in creating something new with him in the studio and we are more than happy with the result' - andhim

'Stay Close To Me' features Icelandic talent Högni who fronted prolific Reykjavik band GusGus and whose voice and compositions have appeared throughout his homeland, from television to radio and theatre stages. Adding a human layer to andhim's colourful production, Högni's vocals and vivid lyrics on 'Stay Close To Me' float above an ominous bass line while assortments of synthetic sounds erupt into a crescendo of deep and dark kinetic energy.

The second release of Girasole Records is made by Daniele Temperilli. He released before on SlapFunk Records, Quality Vibe Records, MLH and Kakudo Records. Now on his own imprint Girasole Records with 4 housecuts. A1 is starting deep with a slower vibe. A2 is more energetic,
but still has that lazy vibe. The b-side is more rough. B1 is a straight going track with a profound twist. B2 is the most rough and energetic tooltrack of the EP.

MR063 - Phil Fuldner - Stashbox:
MOTHER RECORDINGS barely let a month go by without serving up some new club ready heat. And so it is that they serve up another two track sizzler, this time from PHIL FULDNER. The German has been making beats since the late nineties on labels like Get Physical, Stereo, Kitball or Snatch! and as such he has a fresh house sound that is honed to perfection.Up first here, STASHBOX is another driving house cut with more vocals stitched into the arrangement. Here the percussion is loose, the bass is driving and the whole thing feels clean and modern. floor. On the flip, START ME UP is a party starting tune with big stabs and cool vocals. The beats are lively and inviting and the whole thing will get your hips swinging thanks to some infectious claps.Once again then this is an EP that is sure to detonate any dance floor.

MR064 - Ordonez - Children Of House:
The non stop hit factory that is MOTHER RECORDINGS is back with a new EP, this time from ORDONDEZ. He is an Ecuadorian producer, resident of the Lost Beach Club / DJ Mag Club #52 and well known in South America and someone who has played with the biggest DJs in the game. He has had plenty of Top 10 hits on Trackitdown and releases on labels like OFF Recordings and Armada Music also. CHILDREN OF HOUSE is a nice atmospheric house tune with fresh bass and infectious claps. A breezy vocal line up top really gets you singing along and brings some summery heat to the beats. On the flip, CRITICIZE feat. AJ LEWIS is a much more physical

Having paved the way for bass-ridden, garage-garnered old school-ish house, coming crisp and mighty through the vinyl dust, Kakudo Records offers you a pressurized pressing of Various Artists here. Another timeless drop of our beloved vintage style!

A1: Librarian - Free Ice Cream
Librarian lives up to his name and comes hot on the heels of his Waxtefacts imprint's former tracks. Raw but full of melody. Discofied synths and strings full of sexy dust n dirt take us back to the sample-fied early days of housemusic. The bass keeps joyfully rumblin' while Latin percussions and vox power the deeper spheres. In the end, It's all hands up. What else, when the offer is free ice cream!

A2: Wouter S. & Firdjel Medar - Breakin' Habitz
Dutch House young shot Wouter S. has been raising stakes, whether with a podcast for Feel My Bicep or a guest mix for Shadow Child on Rinse FM. The collabo delivers what may not only be a Rinse anthem. Medar made himself another Utrecht force to be reckoned with by releasing on Slapfunk. Techno, House, early UK rave sounds - a holy communion, fueled by 909 machinery. Active, even psychoactive jackin' - all over!

B1: Jizz - From Underground
Jizz is hailing from Mexico and coming with a blast: straight and undiluted he represents from the revered Underground that keeps bass-ridden house funky. With a bass that is the riddim and a riddim that is the bass. Call it garage or call it whatever, this sho nuff will be movin' hips and shufflin' feet!

B2: Kolja Gerstenberg - Our World
Venturing slightly into minimalist and low slung house grooves, wonderkid Kolja Gerstenberg (of late Boiler Room Debuts fame) makes some vocal chops in hiphop manner and moody organs the order of the day. While he keeps a percussive beat taking its relentless toll. Forward ever, backward never. That's our future world at Kakudo!

This is the Birth of B00M JACK's New Baby my dear friends 'n freaks...

being asked to describe the 22 year old german musician Kolja Gerstenberg - one possible answer could sound like that he might be the lost twin brother of Jamie Jones (but it's just one among any other suitable answers) the youngster and music student (he's studying drums at university) Kolja is a total opposite of the typical modern-music-scene-kind-of-guy as he sticks to his assion, which is House Music in it's classic disguise like 20 years ago. Kolja is not interested in following hypes or trends. what he loves are raw & dirty US House like trax or disco house flavoured tunes with loads of jazzy smell and glitter all over. Kolja is and will stay real & authentic by keeping this behaviour. He is not aiming at superfi just for the higher potential of success or money or fame . . .
This is the Birth of B00M JACK's New Baby my dear friends 'n freaks...

being asked to describe the 22 year old german musician Kolja Gerstenberg - one possible answer could sound like that he might be the lost twin brother of Jamie Jones (but it's just one among many other suitable answers) the youngster and music student (he's studying drums at university) Kolja is a total opposite of the typical modern-music-scene-kind-of-guy as he sticks to his passion, which is House Music in it's classic disguise like 20 years ago. Kolja is not interested in following hypes or trends. what he loves are raw & dirty US House like trax or disco house flavoured tunes with loads of jazzy smell and glitter all over. Kolja is and will stay real & authentic by keeping this behaviour. He is not aiming at superfi just for the higher potential of success or money or fame . . .

Being deeply connected to the funk/soul & disco era back in the 60' / 70's or early 80's, the era of studio 54 & the times of the discoball & hedonistic nights without limits is an evidence that prooves the existance of some kind of legacy within Kolja's family. It's like if his extraordinary talent & feeling for grooves and rhythm was planted in his DNA Code. Why.. Just because already Kolja's father has been one of the very early techno music pioneers being known & popular in the underground music
scene as he was part of the technoproject called AFROTRANCE" with vinyl releases more than 20 years ago on worldwide respected labels like R&S Records or Sven Väths Harthouse back in 1993/94 (!) with these facts in mind it is no wonder or miracle that B00M JACK RECORDS is proudly presenting the result of Kolja's DNA Code as he - more than 2 decades after daddy's artist days - steps into his fathers footprints by delivering the LIBIDO EXPRESS EP for the long awaited launch of BOOM JACK RECORDS. There is no doubt about ... his dad will be proud as fuck!

On the A Side one gets caught by the records title track LiBiDO EXPRESS - which actually is a co-production by Kolja Gerstenberg & his partner-in-crime, Yannic Krauß. As a duo they are working under their moniker F.K.K. This tune is not wasting any time as it immediately takes you by the hand, dragging you straight to the dancfloor, leaving no chance to escape. It's simple but perfectly used ingrediences like the strength of a pumpin kickdrum, the raw and mean bassline plus its beanfield'esque kinda vocal samples doing a propper job untill a well hidden Monster of a 303 acid sequence suddenly emerges out of nowhere to drill holes even through thick concrete walls! This is a truly stunning tune guys that will make loads of people go nuts on the floors around the world. the flip side delivers two extraordinary convincing Space-Disco-House tunes that are playing in a totally different league. But this league is Kolja Gerstenberg deepest love when it comes to music. listening to "Diggin Digger" & "Let it Whip" automatically reminds of house music's hall of fame members like Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May or Juan Atkins. Quite weird though - because they wrote history with their work, founding a never heard before kind of sound back in the day, when baby Kolja G. wasn't even planned by his parents. These US House Pioneers who invented the sound we all are addicted to could almost be Kolja's grand fathers today but this young talents tracks, born in 2014/2015 somehow sound deeply related to the 30 year old hymns from Chicago or Detroit... Amazing - as we think!

Out of the south american continent Colombian producer duo Uron appears for the
first time on Black Brook Limited. Two tracks of the original and three remix versions
completes the EP. The tack titles Hiperion and Leda are multiple terms. One of
Saturn's moons is called Hyperion and one of Jupiter is called Leda. We don't know
for sure if there is an intended meaning to their sound involved. What we listened to
is what you get now. Pure energetic techno, signal sounds, heavy drums. The
upcoming EP contains more than 30 minutes quality music. Responsible for the two
remixes is Greek producer Endlec. Hyperion and Leda are also two terms leading
into the world of greek myths. Is it the bridge to Endlec While travelling through
space your soundtrack should be the 9 minutes groover of Leda - Repressed Mind &
Escape to Mars Remix is the perfect piece to float.
