After a hiatus from the releasing scene, Highlive is back with a dark and clubby new three track emission; - You EP'. The compelling title track, a lightly tribalsitic and clear structured sound conception, calls you to the dance floor. A fantastic call out hook when it clocks midnight. *Christian Burkhardt* slightly re-enforces the tribal feel and adds a seductively obscure bass line to the initial sound composition. Both, the original and remix, version of the title track - You' are frisky, fresh and tomboyish in their own special way. Created in liaison with *Zustra* - Last Night' is a bitchy and deeply nasty club air. This composition keeps you stuck between the beginning and the end without ever a chance of escape. Not too mean nor too nice is what generates the addicitive pretention - Last Night' clearly fulfills.

Myles Sergé is back with the 4th installment in his (MS) series, "A Man Scorned" . This 4 track EP showcases the various deep and personal moods of the self proclaimed "reclusive perfectionist".

Mastered by Paul Mac at Hardgroove Mastering.

Gynoid Audio, one of the few female labels around, started her course in
2010. She's now one of the most prolific labels when it comes to a variety
of functional Techno, with focus on drive, mood, dirt and depth. The
amount of well-established veterans (both old and new) who released or
remixed for the label, or newcomers who saw their career start on Gynoid,
is impressive. It also describes why its one of the most charted labels in
it's field of operation.

To celebrate the mains series 100th release and the continuance of the
label we decided to preset a massive V.A. compilation spanning over three
releases. Here is the limited blue vinyl of the third and final volume
from the Gynoid Audio 100 trilogy, featuring brand new tracks by Mark
Broom, Myk Derill, Ground Loop, Pjotr G & Dubiosity.

ESSPAPIER - ein Name, ein Programm. Zwei Absolventen höherer - oder besser - "anderer" Kunst. Fern von Norm. Nah am selbst. Aber eben nur nah. Die zwei Alzenauer Buben sind eine feste Institution in der Hessisch-Bayrisch liegenden Grauzone Alzenau, die dort nur als Gallien bezeichnet wird.

In ferner Zeit einem Frankfurter Kult-Club nach langjähriger Residency den Rücken gekehrt, verschlossen sie sich beinahe die letzten drei Jahre im schönsten Party-Hotel Deutschlands, dem wohl legendären Club Digital - gemeinsam mit Anhängern ihres minimalistisch verspulten Sound, dem sie entgegen vielen anderen treu geblieben sind.

Eine CD-Compilation für den Club, die noch in diesem Jahr auf Audiothentica erscheinen soll, ist der Grund dafür, das die beiden Herren sich für die mittlerweile fünfte Veröffentlichung auf dem lebendigen Label verantwortlich zeichnen.

Die Tracks benötigen weniger eine Beschreibung als die symphatischen Jungs. Auf der A-Seite rückt ein völlig neuer und einzigartiger Sound in den Vordergrund. "Epiphanias" ist eine Explosion - wenn man sie lässt. Auf der B-Seite zieht "Dead Beat" den Hörer in einen 10 Minuten und 23 Sekunden langen Bann. Wundervolle Produktionen, die sich - und auch ESSPAPIER, auf schwarzem Gold verewigt haben!

The third release on Uvar features 2 solo tracks, "Fortuit" and "Perpetuum" signed by co-owner Nu Zau, just in time for the summer season. In tune with the previous releases on the label, both cuts are exquisitely constructed musical landscapes, groovey and melodic, suited for all types of dancefloors. Vinyl only, 180 gramm & original artwork included in shrinked sleeve.

We proudly present to you first and one of the most solid releases on Capodopere Records: Fanfaronade EP. This time the release goes on vinyl only and is produced by Suolo which gave us a perfect combination on A & B sides full of minimalistic sounds followed by some strong kicks. Suolo will take you on a wonderful journey through the sound of his creation which fills the room with some impetuous but at the same time warm vibrations, so join the journey and give it a listen.

It's hard to imagine how the electrifying duo Mat.Joe balances their busy schedule of
gigs and their incesantly prolific studio work, but they keep doin it the right way and
proof of that is their new work here that comes in the form of five inspiring dancefloor
oriented house gems, everyone of them crafted with dedication of two masterminds
in the game of house.
"Light Up" gives the name to this EP, the track builds around a funky bassline but
gets deep and intense with dominating synth work leading to huge breakdowns while
always keeping the swing.

"Street Knowledge" jacks things up a bit more with a more agressive vibe, clever hip
hop samples and mind blowing breakdowns as well while "Morning Snitch" is a
percussive monster with heavy builds and bass stabs that makes any wall shake.

"Growing Up" makes room for a more romantic house vibe, with epic chords and a
feel good atmosphere of vocals and synths over a shuffle house beat. Last comes
"The Soul Inside" with a more classic perspective and a bit of a west coast house
turn, this one truly blends funk and soul using amazing disco samples into a future
anthem guaranteed to make crowds smile.

This EP is bound to be a recurrent tool for djs everywhere in the world trying to bring
their clubs to a higher place, don't sleep on it!

nackig,treibent impulsiv kommt die nächste House Bombe....von Nello Falcitano (Italia)& Pedro Campos(Chile) im leckeren Techhouse Style.what is house..begleitet vom Tholli&Langmisch RMX(Thokadee Rec.)...da kann der Sommer starten...Impulsa011...lets ROCK::!!

Born in Rome at the end of 80's, Stefano Rocchi grows up
listening music with the influence of his brother, Riccardo
Rocchi (DJ too in the 90's and now Professional Guitarist).
He starts working on music like a game, beatboxing' with his
friend Sirio Gry J.

His studies in Mats leads him to learn more and more in
Sound Design and Hardware structures, as sound
engineering.

His music culture through Techno, Detroit style, Chicago
House, as well as Minimal rhythm and Rock atmosphere
guided him into this Contrasto Ep.

Recently back from a season in Spain, he had the possibility to create releases on Love Blast,
Ephedrina, Stato Elettrico and Stencil Recordings. He played in clubs like Rashomon, Circolo deli
Illuminati, Magazzino33, Muzak, Bilbliotechina, Trecentosessantagradi and Animal Social Club in Rome,
plus Russian Bar (London) and Macarena Club (Barcelona). Actually he is going to grow up in the
European scene both for the production and performance areas. He also has recently joined Black Sam
Records family, and pressed his first vinyl on Love Blast, "Contatto".

Half a decade together. OFF Recordings has proudly reached the 5 year birthday mark and we are happy to share our celebrations with our loyal fans with an extended tour and a very exciting release project. We tangled our core acts and asked them to work on some special collaborations to spice up our evergrowing catalogue. A perfect family picture consisting of our amazing roster of talent, the ones that will be carrying our unique party flavor all over the world on this series of parties.

First comes a 3-way collaboration with our label boss André Crom teaming up with breakthrough producer Chi Thanh and vocal wizard Kevin Knapp to deliver "While You Stand" a deep house bass-driven tune with dominating rap vocals and clever synth arrangements to create a hip-house dancefloor vibe.

Next in line we got the praised duo Leftwing & Kody getting in the studio with another couple of brilliant creators, Kruse & Nurnberg, to launch "Turning", a bass-house killer packed with diva vocal snippets and all the ingredients to become a stand out track in any house mix.

Another important part of our family are the guys from Robosonic and Mat.joe...who get back together after their great "Got Game" release and send us yet another fantastic bass-house inspired song, with cool vocal sampling and an infectious flow.

To close up the package, hit-maker Purple Disco Machine and Teenage Mutant pair up to produce "Little Treehouse", a more percussive number, with a great groove, hip hop stabs and string and an overall mysterious yet dancefloor friendly vibe that will sure drive everyone mad...

We are very excited about introducing our whole family to everyone out there, we are OFF recordings and we are here to rock your party!

The next banger on AFU Limited by the uprising artist Electrorite (countless releases and remixes on various labels) with his mate Dolby D ! Three fat Techno tracks to rock the dark holes of the club world !

We love and release on Vinyl !

Although Berlin based producer, DJ and live act Re.You has never had a full release on Moon Harbour
before now, he appeared on the Shades of White EP alongside Philip Bader back in 2013. Now
though, this three track solo outing confirms him as a perfect fit for the label.

In the past four years, German born Marius Maier has won himself a lot of fans and admirers thanks to
his releases on labels like Mobilee, Souvenir and Saved Records, so his credentials are well assured.

Title track 'Don't Stop' is a loose and playful thing that chucks loopy, circular drums, little vocal riffs,
synth stabs and tumbling toms into the mix and lets them all groove along for almost six infectious
minutes. It's a spritely, silvery and slithering concoction that makes you shake your every limb.

'Stare' is a deeper, darker thing with rattling snares rolling over flappy kick drums and wobbling synths
ducking in and out of the space left behind. It's a tumultuous, drum lead affair that toys with your
expectation, threatening to drop or explode but never quite doing so, instead keeping you right on the
edge of your seat throughout.

The final offering is 'Nian' which again has super well defined drums and hits all tumbling and sparking
off each other. It's spacious stuff, too, and the indecipherable foreign language vocals add another
layer of intrigue to what is already a fascinating cut.

If you've ever heard drums as pristine and metallic, as shiny and glistening as these made by Re.You,
then do let us know... they are things of wonder that demand you dance in their presence.

Since we like to bring people together and are always eager to hear new combinations of talent, we have the honor of witnessing Florian team up with another family member, Mr Kevin Knapp, of recent Hot Creations fame, who delights us again BOTH WITH HIS FRESHLY HONED PRODUCTION SKILLS AND with his perfect voice in yet another couple club pleasers.

"The Block" is a heavy drum jacker, with a grooving bassline and deep overall vibe topped with a cool synth stab progression where Kevin gets on the mic with a combination of inspired rappin and speech stabs that turn a track into a whole trip experience.

On a similar synth driven tip "Home" gets more of Mr Knapps rap licks and a very phat bubbly analog bass action for great effect.

Florian and Kevin seemed to have struck a balance both as co-producers and as mates that is evident in their music production.

To wrap up the package we brought Defected's established underground hit makers Flashmob from Italy for remix duties, and they truly delivered turning around "The Block" into a raw drum machine chicago inspired acidic track.

A killer release by some of the industries most respected names, can't be missed!

Having closed out 2013 in some style thanks to the inimitable sounds of Hector Couto, Darius Syrossian and Ben Mono, Swiss label Definition: Music picks up where they left off this time around thanks to British duo Origins Sound, who mark their return to the label thanks to the Detroit Cuts EP.
And as you'd imagine from the title, it's abundantly obvious where the influences for this one stem from. Make no mistake, however; this is no flippant, throwaway revival fare, but is instead a series of tracks that celebrate and pay homage to the Motor City's rich musical heritage. The title track illustrates a case in point, with its well-heeled bass timbres and its spiky yet infectious synths leading us down a stuff and stifling path that's laden with sonic nuances and undoubted flair from the first beat to the last.
Middling effort ''Black'' then introduces us to the duo's more introspective side, with its shining, subtle melodies injecting the EP with an almost tangible human warmth. Stuffed full with unsuspecting twists and turns, it showcases the pair's undoubted eclecticism with some panache.
The final twist in the tale is ''Amery'', a track that makes smart use of some lovely samples and a bassline that flirts with peak-time pastures. Trippy but void of novelty and still discerning, it's another track that leads us down a path that's full of hidden crevices and various other nooks and crannies that are worth getting lost in. An extremely auspicious start to the year for both Origins Sound and the Definition crew.

Pure* Records comes up with there next (double-) strike on vinyl: a big portion of pure sun, love & positive emotions - shaped into 4 masterpieces. An E.P. definitely supposed to banish winter depressions and evil spirits.

Alfonso León is a young dj and producer hailing from Santiago, Chile.
His native hometown exposed him to a vibrant and exciting electronic scene early on, and he soon released his very first track on the Loveparade Chile 2005 cd under the pseudonym Skyfonik to enthusiastic reviews.
Gigs and tours came right after, and no wonder he moved on very quickly to join the international roster of music makers and performers under the wing of Luciano and his Cadenza family.

In 2012, Alfonso was welcomed on board Ibiza's sensational "Luciano and Friends" for a weekly residency on the island's hottest venue, Ushuaïa, and then he was invited to play at the swinging Cadenza Vagabundos parties.
Appearances at Sankeys, Bubbles and Ibiza Global Radio followed shortly.
Back in Chile, he took part in the first ever Vagabundos Party held at Mysteryland Festival.
The spring of 2013 saw the young gun embark on a big European tour along with Luciano, Carl Craig and Dj Sneak to name a few.

This ep on Memento Records sees him take his production skills to the next level. "Vinyl Compresòr"'s soulful melodies and tribal percussions are matched by a deliciously funky and luscious bass line, until acid synth stabs open the way to a low-pitched, creepy, almost manic dark vocal that crawls along the groove.

Fabrizio Maurizi's unique taste resonates hugely in his remix: a computerised, robotic low frequency bounce underpins a loopy rework of the dreary vocal, bringing its more rhythmical and human elements to the fore, marrying them to the relentless beat.

Outstanding works, both tracks.
