12' compilation featuring four slamming early 90s underground garage house classics from legendary producer MK. This is MK at his absolute best showcasing his trademark cut up vocals, swingin' beats, killer synth hooks & deep deep bass. Included first are the highly in-demand remixes of Jodeci & Happy Head. Only ever released as limited promos, these absolute bombs instantly became underground anthems and have been rocking dancefloors ever since. On the flip we get the awesome dub mix of Ethyl Meatplow's 'Queenie'. A notoriously controversial track, it features an incredibly phat bassline and some utterly unforgettable XXX rated vocals. Finally, it's MK's wonderful rework of Bette Midler's 'To Deserve You', another killer mix that became massive on the underground scene and pirate radio stations and is sure to bring memories flooding back for those who were around. Nostalgia at its unmitigated best.

Detroit Swindle are back on Dirt Crew, after their tremendous succes within a year of their first release we are very happy to have them follow up the great - Nothing Else Matters EP' they released in April 2012. So what can you expect here, the same stab driven deep bassy house joints like the previous release of course. The boys are currently ruling the club scenes with amazing releases. With their - Creep EP' on Jimpster's brilliant Freerange label they cemented their place in the House music scene in 2012 for sure. Here you will find three new original cutz and a contribution by Leftside Wobble who remixed the title track. As one of the edit kings in the UK right now, he took the original towards a new direction as in an edit kind of way and kept most of the original feel and sound of the track. As a bonus on the vinyl edition of this release we put their biggest track to date - Jick Rames' that was released earlier this year digitally. So it's up for the next round for Detroit Swindle to even make it bigger in 2013!

FINA Records returns with its sixteenth release this June, this time coming from German duo Tarron Trekka who offer up a four-track self-titled EP.
Daniel Muller-Sachs and Andreas Kriester aka Tarron Trekka have been releasing material via the likes of Freude Am Tamzen, Brut! and Milnor Modern since the late 2000's, although have been actively DJ'ing since the late 90's. Since unveiling the Tarron Trekka alias in 2006 the pair have picked up support from some well respected heads in the underground circuit such as Rodhad, Don't Be Afraid founder Semtek and Adultnapper, so it's no surprise to see the pair snapped up for a single here on the illustrious FINA imprint.

Mit dem neuen Songwriting- und Produktionsansatz legt die 40-jährige Steffi treffsicher nach. Auf Power Of Anonymity stehen lässige, melodische Stücke wie - Pip', - Fine Friend' und das breaklastige Titelstück neben geraden, hypnotischen Tanzflächentracks wie - Selfhood', - Bag Of Crystals', - JBW25' und - Bang For Your Buck'. Abgesehen von den Solo-Instrumental-Stücken sticht Steffis Kollaboration mit ihren langjährigen Freunden Dexter und Virginia - das erhebende, perkussive Vocal-Stück - Treasure Seeking' - als wahres Sahnehäubchen heraus.

Genau wie - Power Of Anonymity' als einzelnes Musikstück lebt das Album als Ganzes von einer Industrial-nachhallenden Struktur aus 808s, spitzen Synth-Stichen, pulsierenden Staccati und düsteren, perkussiven Drumbeats. Mit ihrem zweiten Studioalbum erinnert Steffi an klassischen, bahnbrechenden Detroit Electro während sie gleichzeitig ihren ganz eigenen, modernen und retro-futuristischen Klang entwirft.

Willie Griffin's Boo Williams alias returns to Goldmin Music for the label's most recent release. A vinyl and digital affair, the Living Waters EP sees the Chicago native at his very best, as he combines his customary, old-school, rough-and-ready approach with a newfound approach. The end result is an EP that brilliantly encapsulates all that's great about the label and the artist - as they look to the future but also nod approvingly in the direction of the past.

With Living Waters, Boo tried to capture the label's movement, and we built this record together with him to make it as consistent and different as possible. For example, in this world, water is always moving regardless of whether it's in the clouds or on the ground or at sea or in rivers. So yes, elements of Boo's classic sound remain, but they're infused with a unique excitement and an unpredictability that not many artists are able to conjure up these days.' After so many years in the game, few producers still do it quite like Boo Williams. 

The vinyl release incidentally, also features an exclusive extended mix of ''Distant Land'' which has been previously released on the great American imprint, Fatsouls Records.

Deep, layered, soulful and musical tracks from Laurent Garnier. 2 quality offerings that fit MCDE to a tee..TIP!

the label say" We are very pleased with our latest addition to MCDE Recordings, none other than french legend Laurent Garnier.

In 2014, he begins a new chapter in his career with a brand new series of releases: The Garnier Project.

The cardinal rules behind theses releases being Laurent's constant to reinvent himself, to takes risks, to feed on the extraordinary energy on the current underground scene and his endless quest for new sounds and styles.

It might come as a surprise to some to see him on our label, but his approach to Djing as well as producing pretty much sums up what we believe in: Anything goes. Laurent is just as likely to play a Disco track or even a forgotten Reggae jam at peak time as he is to drop the latest techno jam or a classic chicago house track. His sets and productions have always been surprising and captivating, never stopping to add a fresh and exciting edge to contemporary electronic music. We share a mutual love for jazz music, and his live performances with various jazz musicians are yet another proof that he is always keen to
experiment with new sounds and keep things fresh.

Its very much in this spirit what his latest 12" on our label has in store. "Psyche-Delia", a homage to his wife Delia, was inspired by his deep love for ethiopian jazz. And indeed, it sounds like a modern take on something like Mulatu Astatke. With a baseline that reminisces afrobeat, flutes and live rhodes it feels almost like a live jam session and defiantly way beyond what we would usually associate with the term "house music". The flipside, by no means a regular b-side and hence entitled "side one", sees Garnier go into even deeper territory with the low-key, bass-heavy and trippy track "Whistle for Frankie". In a way, it feels like a modern take on classic Garnier values - a very detailed production, hypnotic sounds that just draw you in from the start and most of all a unique sound that just no other person could have pulled off. "

Nooo Yoikkkkkk

Garibovic is one of the hotest new starz shooting for a well deserved
succes. His new ep is mostly a mixture of nudisco and electronic beats
that are glued together quite nicely.

Even better, Garibovic seems great at picking not only the hottest,
but best remixers around. Washerman provides a deep as can be mix that
is catchy enough mix to hook nearly anyone. Prime time dancefloor
magic or leather chair relaxation music, this mix is pure ice. Clean
vocals, electronic bells, reverse warm pads, and echoes galore are in
great abundance throughout the track. Both a workout for your body and
your mind, the mix is one of those that you can listen to at your
house and not wonder when its over. In fact, I was quite dissapointed
when it was over... Sergio Santos&Tamer Malki are amazingly talented at
what they do, and this one only proves it more so. Many tracks appeal
to one producer, but this is one of the rare ones that will appeal to
everyone. Superb rhythm , sounds, and atmosphere throughout, well
worth checking out.

M A N I K returns to Ovum with In Walks Bourbon! A long-standing veteran of Josh Wink's Ovum imprint, the 'In Walks Bourbon' EP marks MANIK's fifth offering to the label and maintains the high quality we've come to expect from an artist who is comfortably at the top of his game right now. The EP consists of a trio of raw, chunky, house-influenced cuts which show M A N I K diving back in to the underground sounds of his New York roots with a taste of Chicago. The A side track 'Wink KD' lures the listener in with its catchy groove and hypnotic vocal sample. The breakdown sees the track take a turn as Chris introduces and infectious acid bassline, perhaps an ode to label owner Josh Wink. On the B side we find the title track 'In Walks Bourbon' Chris smooths things out here, coming with a more head bobbing groove. Don't let that fool you as the track builds and builds with a rolling bass coming in that takes the track into overdrive. The EP closes on the jacking 'House Cut 2, Chris keeps the energy up with catchy synth stabs and various vocal samples. The snappy percussion keeps the track driving leading to a frenetic build.. An perfect finish to an extremely versatile EP; there's undoubtedly something for everyone in this package.

Die "Full Of Feelings" EP erscheint exakt vier Monate nach Bambounous Debütalbum "Orbiting", ein deutliches Signal für die Kreativität und Spielfreude des jungen Genies aus Frankreich. Der Opener "Filled" ist ein eklektisches Monster, angelehnt an den "Orbiting"-Sound, "Brim" vereint Chicago House und Minimal Techno, bevor "Boarder" die EP als Listening Etüde abschliesst.

Serious heat from Brazil!

Inner Shift Music presents Jacksonville aka Chris Lyth who was featured on their Collective Continents EP with 'The City Sleeps'. Jacksonville has had releases on several labels including Atmospheric Existence, Thug Records, and on his own rather excellent imprint Doppler Records.

The EP kicks off with Fragment One which is sure to be a dancefloor favourite with it's driving kick and bassline, warm pads and a hypnotic acid line that crescendos throughout the track keeping you hooked from start to finish. Fragment Two is on a much deeper tip with a lovely bassline and lush melodic synths that interweave doing a delicious dance with each other throughout. Seberg is classic deep house with driving percussion and a funky bassline mixed with rich pads and melodic lines. Last but certainly not least we get Every Single Word, a more harmonic track that finishes off the EP perfectly.

On this tremendous 4-Tracker Detroit deephouse grandmaster Rick Wade meets Bigbait founding father Peter Clamat. The latest Bigbait bomb is exposing two different generations of groove science and philosophy to each other - forming a synergetic dancefloor orgasm built upon pure dopeness and deepness.
