DIAL 048EP
PAWEL
Berkeley
DIAL (GERMANY)
12"
880319437816 Dial co-founder Paul Kominek aka Turner aka Pawel presents a taste of his full-length, inspired by almost two decades of Detroit's Planet E-era and Dial Records' 10 years of existence. Pawel's music can be regarded as the essence of the label's work: deeply outstanding pearls for a dancefloor in love with the dancers.

SUPER FLU
Puma Okay
HERZBLUT (GERMANY)
12"
807297412918 Germany's Super Flu duo are back on Herzblut Recordings after a successful start on their own label, Monaberry. These are big, building tracks tightly constructed for the dancefloor with plenty of pop and swish.

HFN 002EP
BJORKE, KASPER
Young Again
HFN (GERMANY)
12"
4250382401070 Kasper Bjørke, one of Copenhagen's most renowned producers and DJs, gives a taste of his second album, Standing On Top Of Utopia, exclusively for HFN. Featuring the mesmerizing vocal talents of Jacob Bellens, and bundled along with 3 unmissable remixes from WhoMadeWho, Lopazz & Zarook and Serge Santiago, "Young Again" is a heart-warming tale of love and life. Kasper's unique instrumentation, catchy melodies and studio production finesse make him one of the most important young musicians emerging at the moment.

HIGH 067EP
SCHNEIDER MEETS JENS BOND, GUIDO
Getting Sleepy
HIGHGRADE (GERMANY)
12"
827170294363 Eijajei - Aye ya yay! This is a hit record! But what else would you expect when two of Berlin's hottest DJs and producers, Guido Schneider and Jens Bond, are working together? "Getting Sleepy" reclines into a laid-back groove that hooks straight into the rhythm, creating a perfect atmosphere for the psychedelic vocals and hypnotic groove. "Eijeijei" is the highlight of the record: warm drums, siren-like vocals, and incredibly smooth beats which make this track so special.

LPA 005EP
LA PEÑA
Volume 5
LA PEÑA (GERMANY)
12"
N/A "La Peña is back! All killer, no filler! Played by: Reboot, Ricardo, Dorian Paic and many more!"

MSHIP 025EP
CATZ 'N DOGZ (FEAT. POL_ON)
This Is What I'm Doing
MOTHERSHIP
12"
184254000174 Catz 'N Dogz return to their home label. This time, the guys team up with their friend, the hot producer, Pol_On, while also featuring the candid vocals of fellow Mothershipper, Monty Luke. The sexy analog sound of the original mix will fit well within any proper house set, especially the "Drama Queen Mix," which breaks into a beautiful melodic section 3/4s of the way through. Groovy.

TRAPEZ 102EP
UNDER, ALEX
Muscle Tracks II
TRAPEZ (GERMANY)
12"
880319445514 Alex Under releases a stunning follow-up to Muscle Tracks. "Mustang" is fast, deep and cool, with a nicely-controlled pace. "Charger" is massively rocking and seems to suck up all the air around it. "Firebird" is a fat-sounding house track which can be played by house DJs as well as techno DJs, using a walking bass-line and a super-tight, slapping snare and cool house vocals. It develops into a hi-energy, appegiator-driven track, showing Under's talent for moving between genres.

APNEA 027EP
LEROSA & DONATO DOZZY
Snakes At Number 2
APNEA (SPAIN)
12"
880319417412 "Stellar collaboration between Lerosa & Donato Dozzy!! Snakes at Number 2 is a beautiful exercise of deep and dark housey vibes. Four super-classy tracks built on subtle rhythms for special dancefloors around the globe."

CADENZA 042LP
LUCIANO
Tribute To The Sun
CADENZA (GERMANY)
3x12"
827170306769 Previously released on CD+DVD, now available in a special 3x12" edition, including full-length versions. On this format, you'll have the chance to get the full versions of "Celestial," "Conspirer," "Los Niños de Fuera," "Africa Sweats," and "Metodisma," which aren't available on the CD version of this album. Cadenza presents the second official studio album by Swiss-Chilean DJ/producer and Cadenza label-head Lucien Nicolet (aka Luciano, Lucien-N-Luciano). Since his first record Blind Behaviour in 2004, Luciano has earned his place among electronic dance music's most celebrated names, and with Tribute To The Sun, Luciano delivers one of the definitive highlights of his career. Not merely a "dance" or "electronic" record, Tribute incorporates musical styles from around the globe with Luciano's inimitable rhythmic sensibility. Its moods run from the heavenly grace of "Celestial" to the outright madness of "Metodisma" in a diverse mix of world and techno beats. Includes guest contributions from Keren Ann, Ali Boulo Santo, Bruno Bieri, and Omri Hason.

DBIRD 029EP
VONSTROKE, CLAUDE
Bird Brain EP
DIRTYBIRD
12"
184254000709 Here are two teaser tracks from Claude Vonstroke's Bird Brain full-length. On "Vocal Chords," CVS constructs a mad vocal pattern up and down through 4 octaves and all the vowel sounds of the live human voice. Then he creates a "chord" out of the notes all together for an even bigger surprise in the second half. On "Big N' Round" Claude makes an ultra-wide filter sweep sound like a pair of humongous tits bouncing up and down on a trampoline.

GPM 119EP
SCHUMACHER, THOMAS
Slow
GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
12"
844216011906 Thomas Schumacher has been on fire for the past 20 years, and so it continues with "Slow," a slowly-building, mild Balearic groove with a hypnotic vibe. Applying effects to the female vocal snippets while shuffling them forward and back against the groove indicates his ability to use simple effects towards intricate results. "NYC" uses percussive elements, a "tick, tick" clock sample, and the sound of speeding cabs to sonically evoke a bustling cityscape. These are one-two punches of DJ artillery.

KOM 202EP
GUS GUS
Thin Ice
KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
12"
880319041211 Gus Gus presents the second 12" from their 24/7 full-length (KOMP 073CD/KOM 197LP), with "Thin Ice" being revisited for dancefloor purposes. Wareika's take is an epic journey into contemporary deep house, and Matteo Esse and Sant aka Analog People In A Digital World deliver proof that they know exactly how to make dancefloors happy. Lastly, we get Ben Frost's very first dance track -- radical, modern, and possessed of a sonic austerity like Pan Sonic in an elevator with Ryoji Ikeda.

LDS 012EP
PORT FEAT. GIGI, ADAM
Enoralehu EP
LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
12"
827170273665 "Berlin-based Adam Port, part of the Souvenir family and already a well known name in the capital, hands in a wonderful, rejoiceful slice of future afro-house for Liebe Detail Spezial. The tracks are based on the original 'Enoralehu,' performed by Gigi (Ejigayehu Shibabaw), which was released in 1996 on her Album Gold & Wax (produced by Bill Laswell). A: Adam Port feat. Gigi - Enoralehu (club mix). Featuring the haunting, near-angelic vocals of Ethiopian singer and songwriter Ejigayehu 'Gigi' Shibabaw, and a colorful handful of original percussion borrowed from Gigi's original, 'Enoralehu' is a richly woven treat for the senses. Uplifting, beautiful and solemn, the track begins with a long snaking intro capturing the unmistakable vocal hook, before unwinding and opening up into a dramatic tale of modern ethnic-inspired club music."

MBF 12060EP
BUKADDOR & FISHBECK
Bonusmeilen/Riffpunk
MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
12"
880319441219 Bukaddor & Fishbeck pay tribute to the funky side of disco using modern techniques on Bonusmeilen. The title track bursts with energy right from the beginning, skillfully including lots of small sounds and mini-breaks cutting into the rhythm, creating an unbelievable tension. A trumpet makes its way into the track and tears it apart. "Riffpunk" has destroyed dancefloors during the duo's live sets with its slapping, emotional chords and funky guitars. Similarities with Daft Punk are purely coincidental.

MULE 064EP
FOOG
Nino
MULE ELECTRONIC (GERMANY)
12"
880319437410 Foog is a new project of Japanese veteran house music producer Yukihiro Fukutomi. His previous release on Mule Musiq was played by Michael Mayer and Cassy, amongst others, and his albums released in Japan have been supported by Carl Craig and Loco Dice. This is the first 12" cut from a forthcoming full-length. "Nino" is dark, experimental deep house. "Manya" is hi-tech Detroit techno.

OSTGUT 029EP
VINCENT/STEFFI, LEVON
Panorama Bar 02/Part II
OSTGUT TON (GERMANY)
12"
880319424717 This is part two in a vinyl series of exclusive tracks off of Panorama Bar 02 (OSTGUT 010CD), mixed by Tamo Suma. On Levon Vincent: "I really like his rough approach to music; the deep sub-bass, his dubby touch and his epic, hypnotic arrangements. It all sounds very edgy and dirty." On Steffi : "I like Steffi's sensitivity for music ... We share a love for deep and melodic music."

SFV 001EP
MOELLER, BRENDON
Escape EP
STEADFAST RECORDS
12"
880319440014 Brendon Moeller's seamless integration of genres along with an accomplished production style have garnered him much critical acclaim and a worldwide fanbase. This first release on Brendon's own imprint features 4 strong house tracks that possess all the groove and atmosphere necessary to keep heads bobbin' and feet tappin'. From the jazzy and disco-infused title-track to the techier electro bounce of "Phazed & Confused," this EP is solid all round.

TRAUM 117EP
COOPER, MAX
Stochastisch Serie
TRAUM (GERMANY)
12"
880319445415 The title of Max Cooper's Stochastisch Serie EP refers to his use of stochastic methods, also known as non-deterministic or random methods of sound generation. The stochastic elements refer mainly to real vocal experiments matched with sampled sounds which create a rich complexity. His dancefloor rockers "Stochastisch Serie" and "Mnemonic" work in a more functional way, but do include bits of this randomness and therefore are part of the superstructure. The remix by Leeks is full of swing and groove.

MACROM 011EP
SALAZAR, SANTIAGO
Arcade
MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
12"
827170288461 Santiago Salazar is a member of Underground Resistance, a Planet E recording artist, and producer of Los Hermanos. He is also known as one of Detroit's most forward-thinking producers and DJs. "Arcade" is an anthem that's 0% retro and 100% euphoria, spreading warmth and enthusiasm everywhere. Stefan Goldmann's remix is a 15-minute monster -- a fully-composed journey from deep reverberation, to drum machine-fueled peaks, to a Japanese flute and koto workout. Depth on a new level.

MACROM 012EP
KRUDER, PETER
Chordal/Law Of Return
MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
12"
827170288560 Peter Kruder is an emblematic name that inspires DJs, producers and clubbers worldwide. While he has enjoyed unprecedented success with Kruder & Dorfmeister, he has made only 3 solo singles. Kruder's debut on Macro showcases his deep, dark, dancefloor side. With a crisp harmonic sequence reminiscent of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, "Chordal" hijacks brains with its vacuous depth and sizzling details. "Law Of Return" is his signature take on deepness -- solemn chords wrapped around a hypnotic groove. Masterful.

MACROM 013EP
COWLEY & JORGE SOCARRAS, PATRICK
Soon
MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
12"
827170304963 This is the first single from the Catholic full-length by Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras. "Soon" is a dark proto-techno track with hypnotic lyrics and warped synths, while "Robot Children" builds on a rigid sequencer bass line and futuristic sound-design. The first remix is by Morgan Geist -- who transforms Cowley's trademark production sound into 2009. KiNK's remix is derived from the original's drum machine sounds, crossing boundaries from techno to dubstep to experimental.
