It is that time of the week for you to pre-order music for your upcoming gigs. There is a nice selection of titles available next week in all genres. We can't order everything that we would like, so we send this out so you know what is available. We order what we know our regulars are going to buy, and using this list gives you the ability to sound unique. We add your request to our existing order, and that is where it stops. If you have any questions about or beyond that, please feel free to ask when you stop in, or give us a call, or send an email, or whatever.
%10 discount if you pick them up on Wednesday or Thursday and we still have that awesome deal that Touch Supper Club is offering!
ORDERS ARE DUE BACK BY SUNDAY NIGHT TO ENSURE AVAILABILTY & DELIVERY ON WEDNESDAY!
Wednesday, I sent a list from a company that Frankie Vega runs. He really puts extra effort into finding underground house/tech releases. He concentrates on seeking out titles that are only available on wax, along with all out of print and hard to find tunes that you love. Not to mention he reps the sounds of Chicago. DO take some time to go through that list with sound samples.

HOUSE/ELECTRO/MINIMAL/TECH
OLAV BASOSKI
DA BEAT KICKS (ROOTZ) 12 - 101650
Once again Olav Basoski storms the clubs with another fat release. 'Da Beat Kicks' has a chunky, jacking vibe to it that reminds us alot of Jark Prongo's stuff. Thick, gritty bass and cut up vocal stabs give way to a nasty keyboard lead and thundering 4/4 drums- at this point the track is dripping in funk. Alongside a rippin' dub comes the all-new track 'Rock Da Beat', again on the Jark Prongo meets DJ Dan/Blow Media tip- massive!!(RTZ022)HOUSE- 2/19/07-NL
MARTIN LANDSKY
LET ME DANCE *SEBO K* (POKER FLAT) 12 - 101743
Martin Landsky is one of Poker Flat's shining stars and here returns with a track that explores Martin's old school roots. "Let Me Dance" features a freaky spoken word vocal hook, bumping retro juno bassline, nicely programmed old school beats and beautifully layered pads giving the track some real deepness. On the flip Mobilee's Sebo K dubs things up nicely keeping the old school vibe going strong with a mix that sounds a lot like old school Round One / Main Street gear. DOPE!(PFR82)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
FEDDE LE GRAND
TAKE NO SHHHHHHHHH *RIVERA* (DEFECTED) 12 - 101675
Man of the moment Fedde Le Grand follows his huge number one hit 'Put Your Hands Up For Detroit' with another pair of storming electro house joints for Defected. Treading a similar path to the recent hit, 'Take No Shhhhhhhh' is all about a squelchy bassline and crunching beats and should see the Dutch maestro's star continue its ascent. The release also includes a stunning remix from Kings Of Tomorrow super producer Sandy Rivera and a second, equally heavy, track in the shape of 'Ah Yeah'.(DFTD151)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
STYLE OF EYE
ROCKETT (TINY STICKS) 12 - 101740
Style of Eye aka Linus Eklöw always saves his best work for Tiny Sticks and here returns with the wickedly stripped down underground bomb "Rockett". In its original form, "Rockett" has a jacking bumpity vibe blending the dark chaos of Black Strobe with the groovy warmth of a Jona release on Get Physical. Super cool! Next up "LDR" features a lovely bouncy shuffling groove and expanding spacey keys and then getting more and more pumping as it goes on with giant drum rolls and shouty vox. Another big one for the underground heads.(STICK010)HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
AMP FIDDLER
RIDIN *CARL CRAIG* (GENUINE) 12 - 101490
A cracking 12" remix package of two standout cuts from Amp Fiddler's acclaimed 'Afro Strut' album. Opening up this double a side limited release the album opener 'Faith' is given some Germanic bump and grind from Berliners Jazzanova, complete with a firing new verse from the indomitable Miss Yolanda. On the flip, Carl Craig gets to grip with "Ridin" and flips the disco funk out of it. Huge package here!(GEN053T)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
JUNIOR JACK
DARE ME *KUPPER/W CLARKE* (DEFECTED) 12 - 101738
Junior Jack, legendary producer and DJ, and the man behind crossover dancefloor smashes including Room 5's UK #1 'Make Luv', unleashes a new vocal version of his classic 'Stupidisco' record, now starring singer Shena, as featured on Michael Gray's 'Weekend' hit from last year on this cover of the Pointer Sisters timeless 'Dare Me' disco monster. Main room filtered house with a hugely uplifting song is the order of the day and takes the original sample led version to a whole new level. On the remix front Eric Kupper supplies throbbing peak time versions while Warren Clarke adds to his main club with a slamming electronic dub for the electro house fans.(DFTD150)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
LUCKYSTARS

LEE JONES
THERE COMES A TIME *P THOMAS* (AUS MUSIC) 12 - 101281
Lee Jones was responsible for one of the most requested releases on Liebe Detail and here unleashes the deepness on Aus Music. His original mix sounds like a mixture of Mathew Jonson's "Typerope" on Itiswhatitis imprint and Vincenzo material on the Dessous imprint. On the flip Norwegian twisted disco god Prins Thomas drops a haunting reworking, trippy and twisted to high hell and beyond!(AUS0604)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
FRANK HEBLY
TUINSLANGBOOGIE (MAGNETRON) 12 - 101494
If Derrick Carter, Radioslave, Funkadelic, Prins Thomas, Chicken Lips and Harvey collaborated on a slow funk jam, this would likely be the sound of their output. The A side here is a massive, slow and sleazy boogie meets disco meets acid that is all live with the exception of the fat ass meanly programmed drum machine beats! On the flip more discofied funk action very much on the Emperor Machine meets Lindstrom vibe. Essential release for fans of Eskimo, Rong etc and played out by Theo Parrish and Derrick Carter.(MAG004)PUNK/FUNK/DISCO- 2/19/07-BE
SHLOMI ABER
CROP DUSTER (RENAISSANCE) 12 - 101936

Add to this the Original Vocal and Instrumental mixes from the Trackheadz and you have one tasty double pack on your hands. Originally out last year on a strictly limited promo, 'Feel' tickled the ears of DJs such as Kerri Chandler, Franck Roger, Joey Negro and many more.(NRK127)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
MOTIIVI/TUNTEMATON
SPEICHER 46 (KOMPAKT EXTRA) 12 - 101859
New one from the Speicher series from Kompakt. #46 to be exact. The A-side is more on a kind of electro house/italo tip with heavy dark basslines. On the flip, things get slower an deeper with some very tripped out background FX and a nice warm synth line. (KOMEX46)TECH HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
DISCO BOYS
WHAT YOU WANT *LTD PIC DISC* (SUPERSTAR) 12 - 101891
Limited edition picture disc on Superstar!! Kris Menace and Disco Boys join forces on this massive electro house weapon thats already been menacing European floors with its hoovering synth leads and heavy house beats. The remix from DJ DLG is an absolute stunner, adding a much tuffer vibe that would eat Fedde Le Grande or Eric Prydz for lunch!(SUPER3080P)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
B TEAM
ITS YOUR NIGHT GIRL (MOBILE TRAX) 12 - 101545
SYNTAX EXCLUSIVE! Mobile Trax finally find a new home with our friends in France and this biggie from B Team (also known as All Good Funk Alliance on Aroma).

FRESH & JUICY
BLOW THAT DOOR *M TEN VELDEN* (STEALTH) 12 - 101944
Absolutely massive big room tune on Roger Sanchez' Stealth imprint. The original works an amazing vocal over huge drums with a massive b-line drop while on the flip its Martijn Ten Velden taking the vibe to dirtier techy territories.(STEALTH41)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
THE CURE
LULLABY *HOXTON WHORES* (WHITE) 12 - 101952
The Whores do damage to this Cure classic injecting it with dirty underground house power playing with the melody of the original and adding a big growing Spanish / Peter Gelderblom styled groove to the mix.(NOCURE)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
CARETTAS JOSE FT DEE
THAT BEATS SOUL (SPACEKAT) 12 - 101320
Spacekat Records bring you another slice of underground house featuring the vocal talents of South London's 'Dee' who is a regular vocalist for Basement Jaxx and performed with them live at Glastonbury in 2005. Produced by one of the newest talents from the Restless Soul camp 'Jose Carretas' who was responsible for remixing 'Finger In The Sockeck' last year that's now near impossible to find. This also features additional percussion from Phil Asher and Toni Economides. Deep beautiful house folks!(SK026UK)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
SHINY GREY
WHY *WILDER & CLARK* (YELLOW PRODUCTIONS) 12 - 101688
Hed Kandi's Wilder & Clark update Shiny Grey's smash hit "Why" turning in two smoking rubs, a vocal and dub mix both packed with hard edged electro house power.(YP227)HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
FUSIPHORM
YOURSPACE EP (FOUNDSOUND) 12 - 101858
Absolutely stunning new release for FOUNDSOUND out of Philly. This one is from Phusiform. Taking a poke at the whole My Space phenomenon in his titles, but taking no prisoners with the music itself. 3 cuts of super hot stripped down minimal techno. Easily one of the best Foundsound releases to date! (FOUND12)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
UNDAH DUB & BREEZE
WELCOME 2 NO YORK *JAIMY* (FATAL) 12 - 101886
'Aint got no party, aint got no services, aint got no peace of mind' is the vocal hook from this druggy, sleazy tribal anthem that typifies the underground tribal house sound. Sizzling drums, twisted bass sounds and fat tribal rhythms all in full effect here for all you Tenaglia/Tomiie fans. Jaimy's remix adds even punchier drums to tha mix.(FM015)TRIBAL- 2/19/07-NL
NU TROPIC
VOCE SABE PT 1 *FRANCK ROGER* (JAZZMIN) 12 - 101760
The creme de la creme French deep house producers line up for this first installment on the Jazzmin imprint, a collection of remixes for Nu Tropic's incredible tracks. Franck Roger is first up with a fabulous remix of "Sambador" provides a perfect balance of deep and soulful and electronic elements to this latin beauty giving it a Dj Gregory meets Osunlade feel. Playin For The City rework "Bump In The City" giving the track a lazy smoked out house vibe perfectly utilizing the rap and adding warm chords and beats reminiscent of Charles Webster. Japan gets in on the action with Jazztronik reworking "Sambador" as well giving the track a more broken jazz vibe.(JAZZMIN001)HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
PARIS TIM & TEKEL
DOG OR VODKA (CRACK & SPEED) 12 - 100804
Tim Paris joins forces with Tekel for a second time and drops some dark druggy funk on the Crack & Speed imprint. This track is more fitted for the LSD & Paranoia imprint and is meant for those truly fucked up moments of the evening with haunting melodies, the darkest of basslines & synth licks and grooves that change up and meander so much you forget where they started, NASTY! On the flip the duo get all Sebastien / Ed Bangers meets Boys Noize with a distorted hard edged number entitled "Pompier Bon Oueil".(C&S018)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
LUCIANO
NO MODEL NO TOOL (CADENZA) DP - 101103
The originator of the Split Composition series, Luciano lays down the virgin catalogue number with this double hunk of vinyl - wherein he uses the space afforded him by 48 inches of the black stuff to explore the competing tributaries that sculpt his experimental approach to the art of Djing. Kicking matters off with 'Keridos', Luciano does what Luciano does what Luciano does best - chiefly delivering a lithe and serpentine set of beats that wriggles to kingdom come through a studio full of polyrhythms, sci-fi effects and syncopations on all sides. Similarly the back of plate one delivers the vim filled 'Saulitude', wherein Luciano again proves his reputation is fully justified through prime beats and gracious soundscapes that stretch well off into the heat haze for maximum layering potential. Recalling his work for Candenza, Luciano is here dark, brittle and stripped to the core - reveling in the room to breathe as the tracks spiral into double figures. Swap your disc and side C offers up five concise vignettes that differ in style and length - with graceful vocals one minute and air raid sirens the next whilst the final chapter is provided by 'Somewhere Near His Heart'; a slow mo drip-feed of morphing elements that never settle on a form. Unsettling but deeply satisfying. More please!(CSC001)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
RITON
HAMMER OF THOR *ROMAN FLUGEL* (SOUVENIR) 12 - 101261
Third offering on Tiefschwarz's Souvenir imprint courtesy of Riton who gets very Get Physical on his "Hammer Of Thor" with a delicous and quite infectious synth harmony, perfectly programmed drums and dramatic effects creating some wicked dancefloor moments. Roman Flugel makes a rare appearance and provides a remix on the flip, a smashing tougher rub for dirtier dancefloors.(SOUVENIR03)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
SUGIURUMN
X TAXI *S ANGELLO* (BRICKHOUSE) 12 - 101615
Steve Angello wrecks shit here in his own Swedish House Mafia stylee with a driving electro-spurting remix of Sugiurmn's 'X Taxi'. Led by a driving synth stab and infectious pumping drums, 'X Taxi' is a no-nonsense club track and mixing tool which no serious club jock should be without.(BH029)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
TOMBOY
SERIOS DJ ALBUM SAMPLER (GOMMA) 12 - 101677
After several well received singles for Gomma and a huge outing on Kitsune, Tomas Barfod is about to deliver his debut album as his alter ego Tomboy. This four track sampler is a wicked teaser and if it's any indication of what's to come, we're very excited. First up is "Something" which has the feel of Tomas' releases on Get Physical, slow, funky, sleazy and perfectly suited for a wide range of dancefloors. Next up "Swan" has an even sleazier and slower dirty disco vibe complete with a slick female vocal and total Chicken Lips vibe. Two more gems on the flip in a totally different vein although both are quite dirty,(GOMMA089)HOUSE- 2/15/07-GE
BLUE OYSTER CULT VS STIRFRIED
REAPER (WHITE) 12 - 101708
LIMITED COPIES! Stirfried turns in a wickedly deep and rocking electro house reworking of Blue Oyster Cult's classic tune "The Reaper". This has a wicked SFB / Dirty Funker vibe and is set to be as large as Eric Prydz vs Pink Floyd.(REAPER001)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
MISS DADA & THE NY KING KONG
KRISPY BELLY (BEND IT) 12 - 101710
The first release of Bend It Records, (pronounced as bandit) delivers a smashing cross over EP of some old skool classic hip hop tracks, bent into some banging house music, done very much in the style of Solid Groove's "A Bit Patchy" with more of that cut and paste hard hitting funk!(BENDIT001)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
DAVID VENDETTA
LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY *RMXS* (PARADISE) 12 - 101762
THE man of the moment David Vendetta has two of his current hits remixed all on this lovely slab of wax. On the A, David's "Love To Love You Baby" receives loving retouches from Nick & Danny Chatalain and Yann Kriss. On the flip David's extra large "Unidos Para La Musica" gets retouched by David C Redlight and R Slane who provides a huge tribal mix.(PARADISE44)HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
PEDRO DELGARDO VS TONE LOC
TONE LICKED EP (LICKED) 12 - 101804
Pedro Delgardo aka the UK's Pete Gawtry is normally known for his techno gear on his Yin Yang label but, in the words of Monty Python, its time for something completely different! Pete takes apart Tone Loc's one-hit wonder 'Funky Cole Medina' and turns it into a thumping Eric Prydz-infused monster!(LICKED001)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
3 CHANNELS
TOGETHER EP *PHAGE & DREIER* (CHANNELS) 12 - 101826
Hailing from Poland, 3 Channels have been getting alot of attention lately. With releases on Crosstown Rebels, Trenton and Trapez, these guys are heating up dancefloors all over the place. 2 original cuts here, both riding in the Crosstown Rebels/Border Community vein. Also containing 2 excellent remixes. 1 from Phage & Daniel Dreier, and 1 from Lineas de Nazca. All in all, an excellent package for a brand new label!(CHA001)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
MARKUS LANGE & D DEXTER
SHOOTING TIGERS *PLAY PAUL* (CRAFT) 12 - 101829
Markus Lange & D Dexter come CORRECT with this hot electro house number on Craft Records out of Germany. Sick arpeggiated basslines with ultra sleep percussion. On the flip, things get a bit more acidic and even a bit crazier with the bassline. Also contains a remix of the first cut done by Play Paul, who brings an even more accessible vibe to the package. Should be getting some major play from guys like John Acquaviva, Steve Porter, and James Zabiela.(CRAFT018)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
STARZOOM
BILLIE JEAN *HI TACK/MOUREAUX* (GUSTO) 12 - 101846
Originally released as a limited white label in Belgium, now licensed to the mini major Gusto and available in full quantities at a super nice price!!!(12GUS45)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
ANDRE KRAML
DIRTY FINGER*KIKI/SILVERSURFER (FIRM) 12 - 101857
Set of remixes here of Andre Kraml's "Dirty Fingernails". Ifrst up we have Kiki & Silversurfer with a clunky bit of deeper tech house, while keeping the original vocal. Lots of really great FX work here with tons of other fun tricks as well. On the flip, Dirk Leyers takes things a bit harder with a louder darker bassline while using a bit less of the vocal. (FIRM22)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
FISCHBECK TI & BAGGY BUKKADOR
LESS (MY BEST FRIEND) 12 - 101863
Here we have a new release for the My Best Friend record label. An ineresting release for them, to say the least. A bit heavier than what were used to out of them. Dark and loud kicks, and heavy on the clicks. On the flip, things get back to MBF world, even though still a bit meaner! (MBF12028)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
ILIJA RUDMAN
UMMA *SIMON BAKER/BOOGIE DRAMA (INFANT) 12 - 101937
Wicked electro house workout from Rudman here on the 20:20 sub label Infant run by Simon Baker, who also contributes a remix here along with Boogie Drama. The original mix of 'Umma' is a spaced-out techy affair with soft acidic bass, rising synths and deep pads- 80's retro meets the future sound of Detroit. The remixes add a more bouncy retro feel perfect for the clubs.(INFANT009)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
SEXY BROKEBACK *RITON* (WHITE) 12 - 101954
Justin Timberlake's 'Sexyback' given the re-rub from the hands of Riton. Super limited one sided 12"....(JTR1)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
BROOM MARK/SHUBAKA
SIMPLE (PURE PLASTIC) 12 - 101956
Holy s**t!! Techno legend Mark Broom says 'wait a minute, you think YOU can do this techno/house fusion thing?' and then promptly goes OFF here! 'Simple' is a pounding main room destroyer that blows away the competition with its rough n' raw electro synths and relentless 4/4 beat drive. The punch from these kicks is strong enough to deserve a restraining order!(PP065)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
SOFT ROCKS
LOOK EAST / MIDNIGHT DRIVE (SOFT ROCKS) 12 - 99599
Achtung! This new outing from the Soft Rocks venturing into Krautrock territory on "Look East", a big tune for Emperor Machine at the moment. 'MIDNIGHT DRIVE' on the other hand is a beaty electronic (dare we say) blade runner-esque journey through a buzzing metropolis that is not of this earth.... WE'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS ONE A LONG TIME AND IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!(SR004)DISCO- 2/19/07-UK
YUKSEK
COMPOSER *SURKIN/VICARIOUS BLI (RELISH) 12 - 100814
Yuksek returns to Headman's Relish imprint with two productions that fans of Boys Noize are going to find quite appealing. "Composer" is found on the A and is a rocking slab of punky house with aggressive synth licks that get heavily distorted, rough beats and a grinding sustained bassline. Surkin (Institubes) provides the remix a wild reworking that has been a favorite of Justice & Sebastian. On the flip you'll find "Little Dirty Trip" a more Daft Punk inspired number with catchy dirty melodies and a perfect little vocal part. Remix on this comes from Ed Bangers Vicarious Bliss who smashes it to pieces in a punky, live sounding mix.(RR023)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
APENDICS SHUFFLE
THE SAMMY BAKER DAVIS JUNIOR (MOS FERRY) 12 - 101099
Apendics Shuffle return to Mos Ferry with their second ep, a wicked three tracker of tough funky minimal jackers. All three cuts feature something lacking these days in minimal tunes, soul and swing. "Seam Damaged" the B1 is fucking nasty with choppy bits of freaky vocals, swinging bottom heavy b-line, breaky shuffling beats and wild effects. Tried and tested by label boss Dapayk and NYC's number 1 techno dj Derek Plaslaiko.(MFP026)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
MICROFUNK
PECAN *PIG & DAN* (ELECTROCHOC) 12 - 101695
Microfunk's "Pecan" was an instant success thanks to huge support from Richie Hawtin and Ricardo Villalobos. It was picked up by an Italian imprint and more recently appeared on Electrochoc's fourth various artist sampler. Here it finds two spanking new releases from Cocoon's Pig & Dan who pump this micro house bomb up a couple of notches with two slick and pumping club rubs.(CHOC018)HOUSE- 2/15/08-FR
HEKO
PANDORA (OD) 12 - 101707
With early support coming from the likes of Prins Thomas, Agoria, Joakim and Headman, Heko's Pandora ep is blowing up large early on. It starts with the deep italo stylings of "Primavera" and moves deep into Feedelity land with the slow disco burner "Voyager" which could easily pass for a Lindstrom or Emperor Machine tune. On the flip "Energy 3000" is a tougher dancefloor disco meets 80's gem and rounding off the ep is "Ms Butterfly" a 80's electro joint with a modern Hacker edge. Tres cool!(OD008)ELECTRO DISCO- 2/19/07-FR
PIERCE
DAS GROSSE KLICK *JUSSIPEKKA* (BLUFIN) 12 - 101709
Deeper than deep tripped out electro house from Pierce (not Troy although the quality is right up there!). The original mix features a wicked droning bass groove that locks you in while psychedelic synths build tension along with deep effects and a whispery vocal part all laid down and programmed perfectly over driving sparse beats. Poker Flat / Frozen North artist Jussipekka provides the remix a more jacking acid tinged rub that has been getting support from Mr Steve Bug!(BF020)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
GUS GUS
MOSS *TIM DELUXE* (GUNG HO) 12 - 101739
Moss is the first single to be taken from "Forever", the fifth studio album from Iceland's Gus Gus. The track is already climbing the UK charts thanks to plenty of plays from Mr Tong and here is featured with remixes from Tim Deluxe and Greg Churchill. The original is a landscape of clear, crisp beats, a simple, memorable melody and a deep, sexy vocal courtesy of ex Gus Gus member Daniel Agust. We're loving the Tim Deluxe remix, it has a stripped back moody vibe that sounds a lot like Depeche Mode. Greg Churchill turns it inside out to create a twanged electronic dancefloor destroyer!(GENGHIS008)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
RIMINI DON
TIME TO PANIC (RISE) 12 - 101741
Paris based Dj, Don Rimini fuses all his favorite elements on "Tutto Va Biene" including hip hop, rock and electro resulting in a track that has been garnering attention from Sebastian and others in the Ed Bangers camp. Pure rocking club gear on the rest of the ep, mosty of the electro house nature.(RR006)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
JUNIOR & DEE
13 *ROBERT M* (CHATEAU FUNK) 12 - 101753
The new Chateau Funk and a whole new sound for the label! Old school electro house bizness from Junior & Dee featuring a massive reworking by Robert M aka Electro One thats getting hammered at the moment by Da Fresh.(CFUNK13)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
ROBERT M
YOSHI (KING KONG) 12 - 101754
The man like Electro One, Robert M, delivers this throwback 80's electro house bomb for Sharam Jey's King Kong label. Here he sounds like Tocadisco on steroids with a serious groover featuring massive synth riffs and bass that would make Eric Prydz green with envy!(KK024)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
GAUTHIER GREG & TONY L
BAMOUN KWELE (KIF RECORDINGS) 12 - 101761
Greg Gauthier & Tony L team up once again for some deep afro funk. The title cut "Bamoun Kwele" features a wicked afro chant that was sung by children laid down over deep beats, awesome percussion and dope bass. This sounds like Franck Roger teaming up with Martin Solveig with a touch of Osunlade. "Niokolo Koba" is a percussive house treat with more Osunlade vibes and some quirky West London licks thrown in. A great beat tool is included on this baby as well.(KIFSA047)HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
TIGER STRIPES
KAYOKO *KIKO NAVARRO* (PROG CITY DEEP) 12 - 101768
Tiger Stripes have been making a lot of noise lately with fantastic releases on Slip N Slide, Large and Dialect to name a few. Here they drop the deep and soulful afro influenced gem "Kayoko" which has a great afro chant, beautiful moody melodies, slick percussion and a upbeat vibe. Kiko Navarro provides the remix a more Julien Jabre flavored mix with deep hypnotic grooves and slick new electronic elements.(PCDMS018)HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
MASTER KEV & DAVID TOBON
HYSTERIA *T PATTERSON* (CODE RED) 12 - 101784
Master Kev and David Tobon join forces with beat master John Crockett in laying down the hypnotic 'Hysteria'. This cut is all about the swirling organ lines, driving Garage beats and chunky key stabs, while NYC legend Tedd Patterson delivers a percussion-heavy total rework that adds some sick builds and drops into the equation.(CODE09)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
SOLAR
AONE EP (LOVE TRIANGLE) 12 - 101790
Wicked electro houser on William's Love Triangle label. This one will of course appeal to the fans of Get Physical, Great Stuff, Systematic etc. 3 dope mixes to choose from including the title track plus 'Low Enchance' and a bonus Love Triangle remix.(LTM003)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
ALEXANDER MAIER
INO *SIAN* (CRIMINAL) 12 - 101798
You might remember Alexander Maier from his outstanding offering on Ben Watt's Buzzin Fly imprint. Here Alexander brings the same deep and luscious deep house aesetic to the Criminal imprint with "Ino". It features beautiful subterranean melodies drenched in reverb with moody sustained bass, shuffling beats and grooves that build with epic upbeat vibes. Poker Flat's Sian delivers the remix on the flip, a mix that adds even more brooding moody energy for those late night fucked up moments.(CRIMINAL08)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
OSCAR
RAKETE (CONFUSED) 12 - 101827
HOT new release for the Confused label. This one from Oscar, whos last EP on Confused is still a favorite. This time around, things get dark with borderline industrial percussion with some synth lines that will mangle ANY dancefloor!(CON062)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
OLIVER KOLETZKI
MUSIC FROM THE HEART (HELL YEAH) 12 - 101830
New release from Oliver Koletzki on HELL YEAH. Deep stuff bordering on progressive. Heavy on the kick, light on the synths and tasteful on the bassline. On the flip, things get a bit crazier with mangled basslines and a nice big build up.(HYR7003)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
JOACHIM SPIETH
CONNECT*M EYERER/SILVERSURFER* (PASO) 12 - 101833
Joachim Spieth hits us with a new one for the PASO label. His original is a dark and hypnotic and acidic number good for any hour! Deep and minimal, but with a sort of anger rarely seen in minimal techno. Martin Eyerer sumbits a remix that takes things a bit harder and meaner, making things a little heavier on the kick and bassline. Finally, Silversurfer comes with a remix that stacks up to his usual work for Crosstown Rebels.(PASO009)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
MAETRIK
SEXUS EP (REGULAR) 12 - 101834
Maetrik is a favorite amongst techno lovers these days, as is Regular Records. Combining these 2 elements always gets good results! Let me tell you, this fucking record is a MONSTER! Heavy on the drums and just downright putrid with the basslines! This one is a heater, folks! This one is for everyone complaining how minimal techno is too soft anymore. Let me tell you, if you could put into music what the term "having balls" sounds like, it would be this... exactly.(REGULAR28)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
GIORGIO GIGLI
PLANET EARTH EP (MENTAL GROOVE LTD) 12 - 101860
New release here from the Mental Groove stables. 2 cuts of minimal bangin techno. Somewhere between old school Sweedish/drumcode type techno and minimal glitchy but bangin stuff. (MGLTD017)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
HANSEN & DJ DANIEL
GIVE UP (MULE ELETRONIC) 12 - 101862
Hansen & DJ Daniel slide a couple cuts over to Mule Electronic. Both are some of the most Detroit influenced techno weve heard in quite some time. Side A is very Jeff Mills influenced, while the flip is pure mid to early 90's Carl Craig. (MULE027)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
ZENKER DARIO
SEVERAL EP (NUM) 12 - 101864
Dario Zenker does it again with some sick dark, and almost tribal minimal techno on the A-side. For the flip, he gets stripped down and whips you into the twilight zone. One of the stronges NUM records releases to date. (NUM15)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
CHRIS PUNK VS HUMAN LEAGUE
DONT YOU WANT ME (FUNKPUNK) 12 - 101933
Chris Punk takes apart this Human League classic and turns it into a filthy jacking electro house workout ready to take on the likes of Eric Prydz, Fedde Le Grande and DJ Delicious. Phil Oakey's original vocal and instrumental work gets augmented by some punchy electro beats and a nasty bassline attack.(FP005)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK

NOZE
PIANO (MILNORMODERN) 12 - 101861
Noze here with a funky but really quite fucked up rocker of a EP for Milnormodern. Side A has a dark piano think going on with some nice oprganic percussion and minimal FX stuff going on in the back ground. The B-side gets very ubbeat. Think along the lines of that kick ass Mikael Stavostrand & Big Bully record on Mo's Ferry from a few months ago and youre pretty close. (MMR012)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
TODD BODINE
CODEBREAKER (HIGHGRADE) 12 - 101280
Holy minimal bumping acid bomb batman, Todd Bodine breaks out with a wicked bomb in the form of "Codebreaker". It features one hell of a nasty acidic bassline, backed by heavyweight swinging minimal beats, freaked out sounds all over the place and one of those grooves you just cant help shaking your ass and bopping your head to! Two more slick pumping Berlin house flavored bombs on the flip. As always, top quality from the Highgrade label.(GRADE037)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
KELIS FT CEE LO
LIL STAR *LINUS LOVES* (VIRGIN) 12 - 101241
Produced by and featuring Gnarls Barkley's Cee-Lo, 12" includes a rugged electro house mix coming courtesy of Breast Fed's Linus Loves.(VST1922)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
DAN CURTIN
PERPETUAL LINE STEPPERS (METAMORPHIC) 12 - 101697
Dan Curtin kills it again with this shaking slab of freaky off kilter house action. Very similar to his offerings on Tuning Spork the A side is a real floor mover that fucks with your mind with grooves that sound like they're slowing down because of the way Dan fucks with the pitches. It has wicked percussion and a total Samim & Michal flow. This shit is bad ass!(MET021)HOUSE- 2/15/07-FR
ALEX PARSONS & CD
BLACKSCRATCH *ZOO BRAZIL* (BRIQUE ROUGE) 12 - 101698
Alex Parsons has been delivering some of the most exciting releases on the Brique Rouge recently and here returns with a tough and funky house gem that has a perfect touch of acid and an equally rocking remix from Zoo Brazil who drop a sinister shaking and shuffling bleepy mix that reminds us of early Freaks material with a Berlin tilt.(BR061)HOUSE- 2/15/07-FR
PINK CITY
WEAR IT OUT / KEEP ON JUMPIN (DISCOBALL) 12 - 101702
Pink City go to town on two retro disco hits, the a side uses the same certain hit Pete Heller used on "Big Love" and rinses it out Clamaran stylee. On the flip another big time disco classic receives a similar update.(DISCOBAL11)DISCO- 2/15/07-FR
JURI TORNER
SORRY *MARTINI BROS* (AROMAMUSIC) 12 - 101755
Berlin based and raised artist Juri Torner drops some groovy electrostyle house here on Aromamusic {not to be confused with Belgium's Aroma imprint!} featuring Turbo artists Martini Bros on the remix. The famous Martini Brös, also known as Mike Vamp and Cle {Pokerflat}, take the vibe into a more stripped-down electro universe that we are diggin' ALOT!!(AROMA013)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
JUAN FARCIK
PARA TODOS *APOLL* (PRESET) 12 - 101756
Theres little doubt that the Argentinian scene is leading the way as far as the clicks n' cuts reduced house scene is concerned; case in point this amazing track from producer Juan Farcik. Brilliant drum slicing and sequencing sets the groove on fire here with angular rhythms, oddball sounds and a real dope groove. Tongut label head Apoll then graces us with a fine re-rub on the flip which adds even more 'oomph' to the original.(PRESET05)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
RICKSICK
MESSENGER *LAURENT WOLF* (DIAMOND) 12 - 101765
Laurent Wolf and Eric Lavelle provide some slick electro house reworkings of Ricksick's "Messenger". Laurent's mix is a peak time banger that works the hell out of the infectious synth hook while building tension nicely and providing big dancefloor moments. Eric Lavelle (Academy) goes down a dirtier route with galloping slightly glitched up beats sounding like your speakers when the cellphone rings.(DR03)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
RUFUSS
OBSIDIAN SOUL (QALO MOTA) 12 - 101767
Rufuss returns to bless us with more of his deep spiritual house offerings. Here he gives us three such magical tracks bordering on Spiritual Life material with a touch of Gil Scott Heron on one of the tracks that features a brilliant flute solo. Played out by Franck Roger and Dj Fudge.(QMT023)HOUSE- 2/19/07-FR
ZANDER VT
MEMO 6 (MEMO) 12 - 101801
Zander VT returns to the Bpitch sub-label Memo for his 3rd release, resorting again to his wicked signature micro-tech house style made for wrecking dancefloors. 'Memo 06' is all about the low frequency sounds and retro-Detroit synths given a proper 2007 upbringing.(MEMO6)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
LUCI
VEILLEES CANADIENNES (TITBIT) 12 - 101807
Morris Audio Citysport's Luci follows Jacob London on the Titbit label with a bumpin sophisticated three tracker with a bonus remix from Quiroga. All 4 cuts float in the same quirky house vein. Riding somewhere around the Derrick Carter/Rob Mello/Phil Weeks area of things, while also containing a bit of the Montreal guys' sound.(TITBIT06)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
THEODOR ZOX
RUN AWAY (TRENTON) 12 - 101811
Theodor Zox with a very solid 3 tracker for Trenton records. Deep and stripped down, yet still with plenty of bouncy house energy. Guys like Daniel Bell, John Tejada or Luciano will be all over this one. Definitely a good one for the very early morning hours.(TREN017)HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
SEUIL/IT IS
SPLIT FAXIN EP (60 SEC) 12 - 101825
A new split EP for the 60 Seconds label out of Germany. Seuil heads up side A with a stripped down tech house number with all the heady trimmings. Lots of FX work, clicky percussion and overall a good solid minmal groove. On the flip is the new project from 1 half of Pan/Pot called IT IS. How does it sound, you ask? Lets just say you wouldnt have any trouble believing it was Pan/Pot related. For those unfamiliar, some of the best is darker edged late night tech house out there.(60SEC005)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
SATOSHI FUMI
8 VA *SIAN/HANSEN & DJ DANIEL* (CONNECT FOUR) 12 - 101828
Satoshi Fumi nabs the first release for a sublabel of TIC TAC TOE called Connect Four. Sian is first with his remix. Deeps and synthy with a pretty hypnotic groove. Next up is the original mix, which is along the same lines but with more bouncy percussion. Finally an even deeper cut in the vein of Phonique or even Luomo.(C4001)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
IVAN ESCURA & TONI VARGA
MY POCKET *VINCENZO* (WOW) 12 - 101835
A healthy dose of the electro house variety here. All containing nice basslines and heavy percussion. (WOW003)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
MARC MAC
HEADSPIN / THROWDOWN (TWISTED FUNK) 12 - 101873
Marc Mac aka 4 Hero gets old school breakbeat hip hop breakdance on the mix of "Headspin" on the A, fusing loads of old school hip hop samples, breaky / broken beats into a Coldcut sounding bomb. On the flip "Throwdown" keeps the old school hip hop vibe going with a track that fuses retro electro synths, hip hop samples and broken house beats correctly!(TF1209)BREAKBEAT- 2/19/07-UK
BLOODFIRE
TO KNOW YOU IS TO LOVE YOU (BLOODFIRE) 12 - 101874
Syreeta and Stevie Wonder's uplifting soulful classic gets reworked in a Bugz In The Attic style and mostly keeps true to the original arrangement. They've added some new drums (mostly a thumping kick) making it more dance floor friendly, but even this is added with a subtlety that others in this field could learn from. The dub takes us in another dancefloor direction altogether and you would hardly recognise the original in this mix...(BF005)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
BLOODFIRE
ROOTS (BLOODFIRE) 12 - 96180
The long awaited 4th installment of the Bloodfire series features two fantastic new reworks of the classic from Lamont Dozier "Going Back To My Roots". This is reworked in a Bugz In The Attic stylee with drums very similar to Seiji's huge classic "Loose Lips" that still to this day is a broken beat classic! REPRESSED!(BF004)NU JAZZ / BROKEN BEAT- 7/17/06-UK
JEFFREY & CALMANI
GOING DEEPER (TIGER) 12 - 101892
Excellent Jamiriquai house/ big room electro house remake, taking the vocal hook from 'Deeper Underground' and working it to the bone here. 4 equally killer mixes, from the electro house, electric-guitar-riffed madness of the 'Underground Mix' to the squeaky, wonky house of the original version, a must-have for the Fedde Le Grande/Dave Spoon heads.(TIGER31)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/19/07-GE
IAN CAREY
LOSE CONTROL*R RIVERA/RINCON* (GFAB) 12 - 101935

LISSAT & VOLTAXX
ARCSHKATZEN (PERC TRAX) 12 - 101939
Lissat & Voltaxx continue to burn their unique techy sound into the collective consciousness of the James Holden/Funk D'Void/Josh Wink fans out there with this killer release on Perc Trax. Tough Germanic electro house/tech sound with tons of low end and simple yet deadly effective hooks to keep the floor busy.(TPT014)TECH HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
FIX
MEDICATION TIME (YEAH NO) 12 - 101951
Big buzz on this one at the moment, a peak time electro house shuffler sporting a catchy 'medication time' female vocal hook and clashy drum groove. A sharp lead riff slowly builds in as the pressure builds and the track morphs into a wonky tech/electro builder.(FIX99)HOUSE- 2/19/07-UK
STARCHILD
BRAND NEW DAY *M TRUST* (SOULMAGIC) 12 - 101953

NOEMI / MALIBU STACEY (FOUR ROSES) 12 - 101711
Four Roses hits the ground running with this brilliant debut release from Mojuba. The label is set to release high quality deep house, boogie and techno and sounds like it will be giving Sonar Kollektiv a run for thier money. The A side's "Noemi" features strings that sound like "String Of Life" with warm chords, loose funky drums and emotional melodies. "Malibu Stacey" has a deep and slow boggie feel heading into Amp Fiddler / Moodyman land.(FRR001)HOUSE- 2/15/07-GE

Volume two in the Gourmet Redux series sees label head honcho Mazi turn up the heat on two projects. The first is Replika's "Different Nuance" which sees Mazi get all Samim / Tuningspork on the mix with bumping bits of bleepy gurgling percussion, slick shuffling beats and playful melodies.

NO WAY BACK (SEASONS) 12 - 100679
Killer instrumental here with a slick Roy Ayers feeling intro, just keys and then vibes and percussion are introduced followed by a thick chunky bassline that moves the track with a determined drive. Keenly paired synths and horns give the sound a rich classic soul jazz feel plus some added vocal bits complete the allure. The vibes float on top of that serious bassline throughout. B-side track "No Way Back" has the same huge bass thang going on with big congas, haunting keys, spacey popping synths and the line "No Way Back" repeated for maximum effect. Flawless double a-sided release.(SL31)HOUSE- 2/14/07-US
FREQUENT FLIERS
WONDERFUL WORLD OF AIR TRAVEL (JACKIN TRACKS) 12 - 101444
Yet another Joey Youngman alias project, he returns once more to Jackin' Tracks. Very diverse Ep starting off with the jaw dropper "Selfish" a groovy disco adventure complete with massive R&B vocals. When Joey hits the spot he hits hard and this is a perfect example! "Sun Don't Shine is a token new school jack track. Flip for "Past , Present, Future" a journey through the different trends of house music-sort of MAW meets Todd Terry meets Joey Youngman vibe. Last up is the latin tinged "Vamos A Disco" working an undeniably Sneaky beat and latin loop, catchy vocal hook and masterful filter automation as only a true house veteran knows how.(JT011)HOUSE- 2/09/07-US

More cloak and dagger cuts from the new school's favorite mystery label.

NICK K
UR ASS IS GRASS (SHINICHI) 12 - 95044
It feels like it's been ages since Shinichi dropped a bomb for us, and now Nick K (Hooj, Airtight) steps up to the platewith this slamming doublepack of tough, tribal-tinged big room grooves. Four cuts here, each receiving their own side. "Hardknob Tribe" is a nasty bass-driven builder with some dramatic wild-pitch strings over tough beats and hypnotic synths, while "Citadella" packs a high-energy punch before breaking into some hands-in-the-air synths. All the tracks are guaranteed to cause serious dancefloor hysteria. This is a proper record for DJs bemoaning the lack of "prog" on the shelves these days.(SHI032)HOUSE- 6/07/06-US
