Claptone was one of the first names on the list of people we wanted to remix Romanthony. Amazingly, right at the beginning of the whole project he agreed. But for some reason or another, it just didn't work out. Each time we put together a new remix package, we would check and see if he was available and each time something meant it couldn't happen. Either the track didn't work for him or he was too busy. It looked for a while like we weren't going to get our man.

Finally, late last year, we sent him the Floorpiece acappella and that was it. Something clicked and he delivered this MONSTER of a remix.

Like Schatrax's "Mispent Years" or Inner City's "Ahnonghay", this is underground house music at its very best. Heavy garage beats, a dark'n'moody bassline and some killer keys underpin Romanthony's unmistakable story about his Dj-ing experience. Get ready Miami, Ibiza and beyond, this is a future anthem for sure.

Next up is Dogmatik main man Alex Arnout. Fresh from his killer 'One Nation' track with Tyree Cooper on One Records, the Circo Loco resident delivers a super deep bass-heavy mix filled with dubbed-out vocals and spacey arps. One for the afterhours...

Kevin McKay follows up his heavily-supported single on OFF Recordings with another peak-time stomper. In keeping with his previous remix on Romanthony's 'Trust', McKay takes Romanthony's vocal on a heavy-duty ride. This time the acid is replaced with cascading synths and heart-melting strings and the overall effect is like a Dixon mix on 4 Es. Serious stuff.

Finally, from the Glasgow Underground vaults, there is an unreleased mix from 1999 where Roman strips his original mix down to is essential components. Killer RAW house music.

Japan's BEATEN SPACE PROBE is back with another killer edit for GLENVIEW EDITS. Three sexy and stylish disco grooves: some recognizable, some a bit more obscure, but all extremely well done and guaranteed to get the party started. "LOVE", "LES FEMMES" and "L IS FOR LOVE". Dope! EDIT DISCO

Max Graef at his best.

This young producer just keeps on delivering the goods, over the course of a handful of amazing releases he has managed to carve out a sizeable niche with his trademark euphoric jams.
These new, expertly cut & pasted workouts, which recall classic Kenny Dope, but take the whole roughed up sample-house ethos to altogether more exciting places certainly don't disappoint

Fierce, energetic and utterly irresistible

On the flip, Glenn Astro did the favour and remixed "Bummse" into a big room destroyer.

Two young producers and DJs who are among the most restless and curious connectors of body and soul.

Max Graef has made the A-side especially for the Brandt Brauer Frick DJ-Kicks.

CAMP INC. are Cologne-based DJs, producers and acclaimed crazies Roland Kaiser Wilhelm and Sebastian Ingenhoff, founders of infamous tape label Camp Magnetics. Revered by local crowds, but feared by club technicians, the duo's live sets consists exclusively of hand-cranked hardware equipment spitting out wild Acid basslines, kicking synths and mad love. Their very first EP does not stray far away from that highly successful formula, featuring three delectable cuts that jump at the floor from all angles and raise even the laziest punter. An impressively idiosyncratic remix hails from fellow Cologne iconoclasts VON SPAR who create an alternate universe where the common laws of physics don't seem to apply - kosmische noise disco is where it's at. For a first time applicant, this release bears witness to the assured confidence of premiering label outfit LOW HANGING FRUIT, a venture of long time DJs Shumi and Marc Lansley aka Truffle Shuffle. No filler, all killer!

Gear appreciating Italian 'Giorgio Luceri' enters the SAFT dome with the machine driven 'Liger EP'. On the opening track 'Liger' Giorgio cleverly paints an elusive ambiance using jumbled drums and an appealing bassline together with a continual synthline that nicely sits on top of the serene pads that give rise to an intense atmosphere.
The B1 side opens with similar soothing pads that gradually change when the immense bassline and full bodied kick drum come in. Giorgio again creates a somewhat adverse vibe which helps to give it a hint of lushness.
For the B2, Chicago legend 'Gene Hunt' contributes with a massive percy remix for 'Liger'. A lot of drum action is present in this club oriented (yet deep) roller. As far as remixes go, Gene Hunt proves to be a craftsman of high stature.

The collaboration between 3 of the coolest DJs / Producers in Milan, The Barking Dogs and Sapo from The Heels of Love, gives life to a new project called Le Macchine that is literally an afro balearic tropical and psychedelic whirl. The Ep contains 3 tracks and each one of them has a different context, all varying in style and technique: Eternal Sample is an amazingly produced deep spacey disco-techy long trip that has clear influences from Moroder, Vangelis and Lindstrom, Orbita Due instead is an elegant, funky and soulful mixture of italo, house and boogie, while the shuffle of the track "TheEdge Of Time" goes through more loopy african and a la steve reich territories ending

After a mad summer full of crazy gigs all over europe we are back for the long awaited release on SlapFunk Records again. Time for some winter sessions in the studio where we'll retreat back to our old stomping grounds. Raw Joints #3 is hitting the shelves hard with 4 bangers! You allready know the usual suspects like Larry de Kat, Anil Aras and Samuel Deep, but for this one we'd like to top it off with our new friends from Amsterdam: U know & The Drill. Crunchy Power House Dancefloor Stuff, you know what to do!!!

More tracks selected by the Running Back head honcho, Gerd Janson, for our continuing Music For Autobahns series. This 12" includes tracks previously only on the CD release plus some exclusives...varied and roadworthy electronics that can also be used in cycle lanes and footpaths...TIP!
We commissioned Gerd Janson for a collection that starts where previous compilations left off. While Computer Incarnations for World Peace (his compilations for Sonar Kollektiv) concentrated on tipsy new wave music done by jazz-funkers or neo disco-ists, Autobahns has an unintentionally strong leaning towards ambient not-ambient, kraut pleasers and codeine house, i.e. Industrial Ambient and Electrifying New Age. It's all new and exclusive material by people who have crossed paths with the compiler at one time or another.

This sometimes unlikely gathering is hopefully unified by its non-parochial view of dance- and living-room floors, ambient noise and its effectiveness as a soundtrack to long rides up and down the Autobahn.

L-Vis 1990 makes his return as Dance System on Clone Jack for Daze. With a special appearance by Chicago legend Jammin' Gerald. More wild jacking tracks for your system.

When Luke Solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with Local Talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we've been fans for a long time and Mats actually booked him to his Raw Fusion club in the late 90s.

He's been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. We couldn't agree more.

Lost Channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby New York inspired house track comes in two versions.
The Raw & Stripped Version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with Luke's trademark percussion sprinkled on top.
The Live Piano Version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. Bubbly FX, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline.

For remix duties it's the return of an old Local Talk friend, Wil Maddams. It seems like Wil has spent some time in Detroit since last time. This remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the D, his clever drum programming holds this track together with it's deep pads and bubbling bassline. It's a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.

Waze & Odyssey return to their label Street Tracks with a double A-Side Real Good Like / Everything (You're Made Of). The release comes with a remix of Real Good Like, and a Trikk re-dub. The EP has picked up early club support from the likes of Huxley, Jimpster, Severino, Skream, Duke Dumont, XXXY, Citizen, Adam Shelton, Maya Jane Coles & Kim Ann Foxman.

SUICIDE CIRCUS RECORDS is a new label connected to the Berlin Club Suicide Circus. The label represents the club in all its musical facettes, ranging from house and tech house to techno and all its derivates.MATHIAS SCHAFFHÄUSER is a regular guest at our club. With Nuevo Romance he has delivered a funky theme for the late night romantics. FALKO BROCKSIEPER, also a regular guest gives us something For The Birds, a classical house piece with beautiful chords.
BENI is one of our resident djs, a true school tech head. His track Growth displays well his approach to the dancefloor: dark and functional. Last but not least D_FUNC. vs MARIO BERGER show off with a strong techno tool. D_Func. is ALEXANDER KOWALSKI's alias for his raw techno output and despite of the raw apporach to this dancefloor monster you can well feel his professionality in production.
