Part 7 of the 15 years Series !!

Always good to see new initiative from the Netherlands. For sure there is no shortage on new labels, but we have great feelings with this new label by the enthousiastic ESHU collective who have showed they got a great musical taste and fine aesthetics with their collaborations with dutch Techno don Darko Esser.

Michael Kohlbecker is a music producer and DJ of the first hour. In 1989 he released his first big hits to Sony Music / Dance Pool. 1994 he have his international breakthrough with the project Eternal Basement on Sven Väth's legendary label Harthouse.

Vinyl Only! Somewhere between Detroit and Far Away Galaxies...Exploration brings you three timeless pieces of electronic music. The title track is a hypnotic stomper for the peak time, designed for these magic moments on the dancefloor. The b-side contains two deeper cuts, full of raw grooves, synth riffs and sound research!

Hotflush presents a special collaboration between two modern-day techno innovators: Paul Woolford and Psycatron. Both maintaining an influential discography on labels such as Planet E, Intimacy, Tresor, and Bedrock, they've come together to produce 'Stolen', a nine-minute techno excursion. Utilising relentless, throbbing percussion that sizzles over growling, acidic synthesis and carefully placed samples, it's presented in three distinct versions, introducing filter-swept chords in the Dub Mix, and an even deeper submersion in the second Dub Mix that perfectly eclipses the raw temperament of the original.

The next floor bomb from Robin Hirte. Hypnotized basslines, rollin grooves and a screaming crowd will make you crazy - as always !
Robin Hirte, DJ and Producer from germany. Well known for his incredible remixes of Phunk Investigations, Robbie Riviera, Lissat&Volltax, Daniel Portman and many more.

Bart Skils 1st Release on Tronic Records !!!

MASSIVE NEW ON FROM FUNK D'VOID

Despite the post-industrial label often affixed to Factory Floor, there's a greater complexity of sound within the band's music that defies such facile descriptions. Yes, there are rigid, fixed beats, and other sounds from the manufacturing plant, as suggested by the trio's moniker. But there is also an underlying danceability that belies the seeming austerity of the sound; a hint at warmth that cuts through the permafrozen exterior. That curious balance has paid endless dividends thus far: they've been remixed by producer Gavin Russom, Liars' Angus Andrew and No Age's Dean Allen; remixed and released by Optimo; remixed and collaborated live with Throbbing Gristle legend Chris Carter; and remixed and produced (!) by Joy Division and New Order's Stephen Morris. It's been a whirlwind few years in terms of musical accolades, and Factory Floor's DFA debut is a glimpse into why.

JT Donaldson should need little introduction. Releasing quality music since the late 90's, he has worked with some of the best labels and artists around. Bang The Box is a collaboration of new and old friends and wouldn't be complete if we did not include him.

Irish house cosmonaut Space Dimension Controller is set to release a 'prequel' for his forthcoming album in the coming months

Komisch welcomes a new act for its ninth release. Tricaustic is a collaboration between longstanding Dublin techno DJs Sunil Sharpe and Jon Hussey, and they bring their experience to bear on these raw and distinctive techno tracks.

Our Techno alliance from Italy - Emanuele Millozzi and Claudio Petroni - return with four
rockin' tracks that will definitely do their damage again ! They delivered absolutely high class rockin' tracks with their first release on AFULAB 16 Outsider EP last year already,
but spared no efforts to top it with this monster four track CARNIVAL EP.
CARNIVAL for sure is a peak time monster that leaves no doubt to be bangin' dancefloors around the globe pretty soon and is already working more than well with a very few selected Djs. Followed by the next great Techno tune VIRUS to fulfill the duty with power on the A side.
Side AA starts off to a bit darker territories with RAUCO and rounds it up with a nice remix treatment by collaborateur Manel Diaz !

We love and release on Vinyl !

Following recent excursions for Adam Beyers Drumcode imprint, Joseph Capriati delivers some hand picked remixes of tracks taken his 2010 LP Save My Soul. Cari Lekebusch, Fergie, Marco Bailey and Hans Bouffmyhre all remix the young Neapolitan producer who has won a host of influential patrons such as Dave Clarke, Billy Nasty, Slam, Chris Liebing and The Advent in recent years.

Canadian producer Kalden Bess makes his debut for Analytic Trail this Summer with the 'Alice in Panorama' EP - a three track release which focuses on dark, heavy grooves.

The epic journey in the world of techno continues for Mkt and his founder Markantonio, publishing a new strong tune remixed by two italian artists, Luigi Madonna and NDKj.

After the old-school inspired "Forward To The Past" that saw a Poker Flat re-visit some seriously jacking zones, we now focus directly on Acid House and the genre's beloved Roland TB-303. That innocent little box created some of the most freaky basslines in dance music history, and we're here to celebrate its unique tone and the legacy of ACID.

Second release in a series of four of this Ann Aimee compilation series, featuring a diverse selection of techno tracks.
Part two of the four-part Inertia sampler again serves up four heavy-hitting techno bangers from different artists of the new-school techno generation. Again, each of the tracks is previously unreleased.

First up is Frenchman Marcelus who offers a heavy house and techno fusion, before London's Sigha goes deep and ominous with 'Finding Myself.' Redshape and Area Forty_One close out the package with frozen, static coated sounds and textured techno respectively.

Reading like a who's who of the day's most pioneering techno producers, Inertia #2 is another connoisseur selection.

All four new and exclusive tracks deal in techno urgency. Delta Funktionen goes deep and dramatic, Peter Van Hoesen offers up his usual dub-wise textures, whilst Lindau pairs icy hi-hats with a heavy stomping beat. Sawlin offers the trippiest techno with his delightfully dishevelled 'Excipidial' and closes out what is an essential piece of vinyl.

Having released the anonymous and enormous F**k Yonkers bootleg earlier this year, the Amsterdam based Audio Culture Label is poised to unleash their first official release,,a piece of music which is the result of the collaborative efforts of Dutch wunderkind Presk and Amsterdam's premier tastemaker Cinnaman. In part, Pieter 'Presk' Willems' support is responsible for the label's inception. In a short space of time Presk has built up a solid and impressively distinct sounding catalogue of work released on respected imprints such as Ramp sister label Fourth Wave and Doc Daneeka's Ten Thousand Yen. Making a name for himself with nothing more than his hands and impeccable taste, Yuri 'Cinnaman' Boselie has become somewhat of a musical institution in Amsterdam. He's the man behind the ground breaking Colors nights and is responsible for the equally forward thinking Beat Dimensions compilations.The B-side features two expertly remixed and uniquely different takes on the original, courtesy of non other than Instra:mental's Jon Convex and Ten Thousand Yen head honcho Doc Daneeka.

All in good time - OBSESSION is really the programmatic title of TOBIAS OLIVER´s work of the last years. Two years after his digital WINTER / SUMMER release in 2009 and the HUMAN TECHNOLOGY debut with his electro band DATAWELT, it is really a obsession of him, to bring out his first solo release on vinyl. If you listen to this record, you will be sure, that TOBIAS OLIVER was born in a electro disco somewhere in this world. The analogy to the old school electro sound can not be ignored, when he reuses the drum and percussion sounds of well known drum machines of the past, combined with bass and synthlines, pads and strings of analog synthesizers from the past and the future - at the latest by then - you will think, that you are really OUT OF SPACE !!!

Agaric, who is frantically busy in the aftermath of his highly respected album on Ovum, delivers and arena shattering remix.

Electric Deluxe is proud to present the new Terence Fixmer EP `Le Terrible'. And as the name already suggests this EP is up for some serious damage. A Side kicks off with `Le Terrible' a dynamic and powerful monster of a techno track which pumps up your adrenaline with its pounding bass drum and hypnotic built ups.

Early support by Stephan Bodzin, Dominik Eulberg, Marc Romboy, Agoria and many more to comeNicolas Masseyeff is to release his debut album, The Motherland, on Stephan Bodzin's Herzblut Recordings. His latest work draws on a wide sonic palate: it goes deeper and more introverted than his previous releases, making it as suited to home listening as it is to club dancing.

As an ally who has been with us from the start, we are delighted to be releasing our first full E.P. from The Third Man. Often recognized for his harder-edged techno output, here he blends some of his warmer and more soulful tracks with some of his darkest.

Freshly arrived at Cocoon Booking, Circo Loco and DC10 resident, playing at festivals such as Burning Man festival (Nevada desert) or Fusion (Berlin countryside), alongside the biggest names in techno... You would think that Guillaume Duchastel de Montrouge, aka DJ W!LD, arrives like a tornado on the electronic music scene in 2010. But these last 2 years rather mark his comeback behind the decks, although already recognized as a producer or International DJ.

Number 5 in this series of broken house twelves from UK production maestro Seiji. Recommended.

After hearing this release, one could ask himself why Petar Dundov and Gregor Tresher never did something together before! Their sound seems to fit amazingly well together! With their debut together for Music Man - and Gregor's debut on Music Man altogether - they deliver two blinding melodic techno tracks that will definitely appeal to fans of both of them. Comes as marbled coloured 10" vinyl!!

Shaded Records present the first chapter of a melancholy tale, together with artwork from the beautiful city of Saint Petersburg. Apocalyptic techno brings us closer to a precipice - in the forms of a collective march.

Quake is best described in one simple word: analogue. Hardware freaks to the core, this Belgium based enigmatic duo makes their tracks with as little use of software as possible.
It's only fitting that this release will be available on a limited run of 300 copies, pressed on white vinyl, and mastered to perfection by mister Cass Irvine at Wired London. His credentials include mastering the likes of Carl Craig's Planet E to Swedish House Mafia, Dennis Ferrer or Ministry Of Sound, to name just a few.

number 2 on the new label Earwiggle with Steve Stoll !! huge !!

priority repress arrive soon!

Opening up the first of two Wicker & Steel remix EPs is CLR's Tommy Four Seven, a producer whose own debut album came out to a great response earlier this year. Tommy switches Start Chopping's 4/4 rhythms for his own broken beat foundation and adds a whole new world of bass to the track. The original's pads echo around the soundscape as each break brings back a tougher version of the beat.

Next up are Warp/Dust Science/Soma legends The Black Dog. Keeping Gonkle's beating heart in place they add subtle synths lines and pads to add a melancholic edge to one of Wicker & Steel's tougher tracks, without ever losing any of the original's impact.

On the flip-side we witness the first ever collaboration between London producers Sigha (Blueprint/Hot Flush) and Truss (Stroboscopic Artefacts/Perc Trax). Combining their love of techno with a
bass music mentality the duo serve up a jackin' semi-broken groove topped off with all manner of drones and rhythmic effects.

Finally ASC, one of the stars of Instra:mental's Nonplus stable makes his Perc Trax debut, cutting up the now familiar industrial drum assault of 'My Head Is Slowly Exploding' into an Autonomic style 170bpm stepper. A move away from the typically smooth Autonomic sound this is something completely new. Industrial -tinged D&B that is a world away from the apocalyptic No U-Turn sound of the mid to late 90's.

"In this month's Resident Advisor label profile, Blackest Ever Black owner Kiran Sande seems conflicted. In a good way. Creating his label, he suggests, was an attempt to address his doubts that, frequently, dance music is an empty pleasure. "Nobody grills a house or dubstep producer on what their music is actually about, because we know from the outset it's not about anything, and nor do we expect it to be. But after a while you begin to crave content, don't you"

"4/4 techno as functional party music is timeless - it quite simply works - but ... does it tell us anything of the way we live or ought to live

I've no idea what Sande thinks of Perc's Wicker and Steel, but if, like him, you are currently looking for electronic music that is more than a simple invitation to dance, then you will find this album (two EPs of remixes are also due in October) one of this year's few essential releases.

In a year of riots, phone hacking and looming economic meltdown, 35-year-old Haringey-based, Ali "Perc" Wells, has created the perfect mood music for the time. Unrelentingly serious, at times tender and vulnerable, Wicker and Steel is a bleak audio montage of modern Britain, created from hard techno, ambient drones and reconditioned industrial noise." - GUARDIAN

great new cd album by Umek and Beltek !!

ABSOLUTELY A MASTERPIECE! 3 x 12inch PACK from the MAN himself: Mihalis Safras! '
Material celebrates 5 years and delivers the first high claimed Album that includs the finest works from Mihalis with his unique diverse style from house to pure techno!

Komisch welcomes another new artist to its fold for its last release of 2011.P.God hails from Naples in Italy. Still in his 20s, he makes music that belies his youth and 'Neptune IV' sounds like the work of a veteran producer

Our twentieth release comes courtesy of London's Randomer. 'Real Talk' highlights his awe inspiring drum programming - a Jungle head swapping teams and taking it in a raw house and techno direction. From the Dance Mania on steroids vibes of the title track, the acid laced 'Lime Pie' and the nightmarish clanging funk of 'Stalker', this is one for the freakier end of the dancefloor.

the new techno smasher by christian smith !!!

Superb debut release on a new label dedicated to showcasing cutting edge new Japanese dance music. All four artists each deliver quality tracks that are quite different from each other in style in a refreshing but not abstract way, and make this a very interesting and soon sure to be sought-after release.

PART 1 OF THE HYPERCOMBO EP FROM ITALY'S SASHA CARASSI !!! great !!!!

October sees the long awaited release of Ben Sims' debut LP, 'Smoke & Mirrors', on Swedish techno imprint Drumcode.

Having developed an impeccable reputation in the past twenty years since delving into the word of turntables and mixtapes at an early age, Sims can be called a genuine legend in the world of techno. As a producer he has remixed Jeff Mills, Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer and Kevin Saunderson as well as releasing on just about every seminal techno imprint there is. As an A&R he's been at the helm of nine labels, including the highly influential Ingoma and KB Records inc, and continues to steward Theory and Hardgroove towards the boxes of the discerning fans.

Most recently the London-based producer has seen his 'Way Back Wednesday' (with Tony Anderson), Funk You' and occasional disco radio shows garner huge support while ploughing further energy into the futurist techno club night 'Machine' alongside Kirk Degiorgio.

For more than a decade Ingo Martens aka Azzido Da Bass is a constant in the international electronic music business. All started 1999, when his first single "Dooms Night" was released and entered the UK Top Ten single sales charts with a rerelease in 2000. "Dooms Night" sold more than 250.000 copies since.
Now he returns with a big club tune "Dooms Day" which is produced together with Phil Speiser who is better known under the name Dirty Disco Youth on Lektroluv. "Dooms Day" includes strong remixes by Tocadisco, Sounds Of Stereo and The Drill which will ensure huge club play.

The original track features on the compilation Balance mixed by Deetron coming in november. Spanish producer Simon Garcia has already impressed with his ability to move effortlessly from techier sounds to the deeper reaches of house music.

SPIDER SILK on the A side is a funky stepper of extreme darkness. Its epic feel shall make it a hit on all techno, idm and dubstep dancefloors.
8 BLIP is a short straight tech stumbler with a kick drum as deep it will only be audible on proper soundsys- tems - which is where we want to hear those tracks anyway.

Music Man Records is proud to present the long awaited second mix-cd from Marcel Dettmann, resident at the notorious Berghain club in Berlin since even before it was called like that, and one of the key artists on their label Ostgut Ton. Marcel Dettmann's previous mix-cd was named best mix-cd of 2008 by Resident Advisor (http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx997). Last year he released his debut album 'Dettmann' to high critical acclaim. In the meantime he's also building the profile of his own label MDR, and of course he stays one of the most in demand remixers around.

Remixes from label owner Kirk Degiorgio and Dutch maestro TJ Kong (Erwin Van Moll aka Max404) of 'Rapture' - the debut release from the Different Worlds duo Claude Young & Takasi Nakajima.
Degiorgio's mix heads straight for the dancefloor's peak time, whilst TJ Kong goes for a euphoric melodic take that is perfect for those early morning sets with it's uplifting feel and gorgeous breakdown.
