TROYDON
JUMP START *STYLE OF EYE* (PHONOSHUFFLE) 12 - 102104
Troydon jump starts his Phonoshuffle imprint with an action packed package of party starting funky house gems. The title cut "Jump Start" has a wicked Inland Knights kind of vibe with funked up disco bass, clever vocal clips effected very nicely, jacking beats and tripped out effects. This tune is a big one for Dj Heather right now and gets a fantastic remix from Style Of Eye who take it even deeper into funky Drop Music territory. Their mix has been a favorite of Farina and the Knights themselves. On the backside "Jam On" reminds us of early Solid Groove material on the Slip N Slide imprint, funked up disco shit. Rounding off this killer debut release is "I Get So", a deep jacking Jesse Rose styled number...(PSHUF101)HOUSE- 3/12/07-BE
TOKA PROJECT
IVE GOT THESE BEATS (ROBSOUL) 12 - 102242
Drop Music / Mobile Trax and Amenti Music regulars Toka Project drop this next biggie on the red hot Robsoul imprint. The A side's "Gotta Go" is pure bumping funk with wicked shuffling beats, choppy bits of vocal snippets and a wicked vibe that sounds one part Derrick Carter and one part Inland Knights. On the flip "People" is another nasty slab of bumpity house that would easily sit on Tango, Bambino or Drop. Rounding off the ep is the title cut, a track that borrows the bassline from Peter Brown's disco classic "Keep On Dancing" and rocks it out deep and funky.(ROBSOUL53)HOUSE- 3/08/07-FR
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). B Team deliver three tracks that ooze the quality funky house sound of Mobile Trax and the Littlemen. Already a firm favorite of the Inland Knights, Troydon and Jake Childs. BACK IN FULL!(MOBILE014)HOUSE- 2/08/07-FR
JAY WEST
HEAR TO STAY (DROP MUSIC) 12 - 102069
A delicious trio of tunes is the best way to describe the newest from Pablo Sabetta, a.k.a. Jay West. 'Headz On Fire' is bright, bouncy and cheeky as a voice awaringly proclaims, 'There's a lot of funky s*** going on.' "The Problem" sets the tone with moody keys that play off a sliding bass and has been killing it for the Inland Knights for some time now. Rounding off this winner is "Hold Ya" a funky and unfussy production.(DRM051)HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK
KERRI CHANDLER
COMPUTER GAMES (DEEPLY ROOTED HOUSE) 12 - 102318
Kerri Chandler has been turning out hit after hit and here delivers another one for Deeply Rooted House. The "The Invaders" is pure soulful electronic genius, futuristic with edgy Detroit-ist laser synth riffs, great effects and super deep and funky drums/bass. Next up Kerri keeps the electronic soul flowing on "Moon Bounce" which is one part Paperclip People, one part Dennis Ferrer and 100 percent deep and funky. On the flip you'll find two more brilliant swinging soulful numbers more on the straight up NY deep house tip.(DRH013)HOUSE- 3/12/07-FR
BRETT JOHNSON
LIFE IN THE EMERALD*MOTORCITY* (FREERANGE) 12 - 102477
Brett makes his Freerange debut something to remember with the release of these two wonky disco nuggets. The a-side cut 'Cuckoo' more than lives up to its name thanks to a pack of weirded out sounds, samples and ass-shaking beats that are the epitome of 'bumpin'. 'WeR1' features some tidy acid grooves packed into an incredible big room package while on the remix front its Motorcitysoul taking 'Cuckoo' into a whole new direction with some call-and-response shenanigans going on over melting kicks and gritty snare action.(FR085)HOUSE- 3/12/07-UK
TRENTEMOLLER
MOAN *RADIO SLAVE* (POKER FLAT WHITE) 12 - 101684
The second single lifted from his stunning debut album "The Last Resort" sees Mr Trentemoller himself provide a brilliant dub of "Moan" on the A. His mix fuses deep Rhythm & Sound dub house aesetics with pushing trippy electronics and a beautifully moody late night vibe. HOT. As if this weren't enough to entice you to buy one, Radio Slave provides an equally dazzling rub on the flip that goes deep into subterranean waters and sounds so god damn large on big rigs it's hard to put into words. The mood on this mix is dark and brooding as is Trente's and there are some extra nice additions of melody that take this track even further.(PFRWHITE01)HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
TRENTEMOLLER
MOAN *VOCAL/RADIO SLAVE* (POKER FLAT) 12 - 102347
First of two sets of mixes for "Moan" lifted from Trentemoller's incredible debut album "The Last Resort". This 12" features vocal version's of Trentemoller's remix of "Moan" along with Matt "Radio Slave" "Rekids" Edwards vocal remix.(PFR81)HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
FAZE ACTION
IN THE TREES *CARL CRAIG* (JUNO) 12 - 101689
EXPECTED MONDAY! Faze Action's "In The Trees" was one of the catalysts that rocketed the Nuphonic imprint into the spotlight. It sounds as incredible today as it did 11 years ago when it was first released. It has been unavailable for quite some time and is the first release on Juno's new imprint. As a special bonus this release comes with a wicked remix from CARL CRAIG who lends his midas touch to the tune giving it a deep, dark and edgy driving feel before nicely teasing in the beautiful melodies of the original.(JUNO1)HOUSE- 2/12/07-UK
SAWTOOTH SUCKA
PHAT CHANCE EP 2 (DOTBLEEP) 12 - 102485
Lee Mortimer aka Sawtooth Sucka pops back into the Dotbleep camp with 3 outstanding slices of jackign fidget house. 'Crazy' leads off the a-side with its twisted beats, cut-up vocal snippets and wicked Chi-town drums this is a tune to be reckoned with. 'Screwing' is a boompty-esque affair with tons of quirky noises and drips with funk, whilst the closer 'Freaky Dance Craze Music' is, err, well FREAKY!! Cheeky female vocals, crowd noises and full-on jacking beats that give the kids what they want, and more!(DBR015)HOUSE- 3/12/07-UK
JUSTUS KOHNCKE
VS PRINS THOMAS (KOMPAKT) 12 - 102368
Kompakt big-shot Justus Kohncke and space disco master Prins Thomas team up for a delightful big of disco influenced house. The A side is straight up old school sounding disco, while the flip gets more arpeggiated bassline driven. Think of the 2 producers involved and its exactly what you think. Really great stuff to say the least!(KOM153)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
MIGUEL MIGS
MESMERIZED *SOLE CHANNEL* (NRK) 12 - 101674
Taken from his highly anticipated third album, "Those Things", this single follows up from the rather ace Shur-i-Kan mixes with new SOLE Channel remixes, courtesy of Alix Alvarez, one of the hottest producers out of New York right now. Oozing class from every pore, these remixes take the original L.T. vocal and works into a classic house production, similar to those legendary David Morales Def Mix mixes from yesteryear. The Extended Vocal is a well polished vocal interpretation while the Dub Mix offers up gorgeous strings, hypnotic keys, delayed vocals and deep melodic bass. The added Dubstramental Mix strips things down further showcasing the quality production from Alvarez.(NRK129R)HOUSE- 3/12/07-UK
DAZE OF SUMMER
24TH STREET SOUNDZ MIX (WHITE) 12 - 81972
A certain San Francisco deep house producer tackles two remixes of a certain Canadian producer's shuffling summer samba classic. OK, Miguel Migs reworks Nick Holder's "Summer Daze" here, the first in his wicked dub house sound, the second a more MAW styled rub. REPRESSSSSS!(DAZE01)HOUSE- 3/18/05-UK
LANCE DESARDI FT LANDSHARK
MY HEAD SPINS (DEEP FREEZE) 12 - 102472
Lance De Sardi aka The Landshark is in top form here with his debut release for Deep Freeze. 'Head Spins' continues to see the Shark pushing the boundaries of the electro-disco sound, a hypnotically addictive cut working haunting synth chords, warped keyboard sounds and chugging old-school rhythms. On the flip 'Lose Control' works a dark disco vibe and gravely vocals. This cut's already been snapped up by Satoshi Tomiie for an upcoming Renaissance CD comp.(DF026)ELECTRO DISCO- 3/12/07-UK
FIGURINES
SILVER PONDS *BEN WATT* (STRANGE) 12 - 101980
First offering from Ben Watt's brand-new Strange label features Denmark's Figurines getting the remix treatment from Mr Watt himself. Ben reworks 'Silver Ponds' taking the original;s blend of Strokes/Pavement influences and turning out a pair of tripped-out balearic rides incorporating bits of modern techno disco and 70's German feel. Wicked.(001FEEL12)HOUSE- 3/12/07-UK
LOVEBIRDS
MODERN STALKING (WINDING ROAD) 12 - 102337
The "Modern Stalking EP" is a delicious trip through warehouse, funk and 80's boogie and a perfect example of the beautiful and timeless well crafted quality exuded on each and every Winding Road release. Sweet sounds for your mind and for your behind. The EP starts with the super heavy disco beats and filtered live bass of "Can't Get Along" (which was co-written by Vincenzo) nd then goes through the acid-boogie work out of title track "Modern Stalking", the intense conga-driven musical drama of "Behind You", and finally the digital Beatle-esqu diddy of "I Don’t Know Why"..(ROAD018)HOUSE- 3/12/08-GE
DJ T
LUCKY BASTARD *PROSUMER* (GET PHYSICAL) 12 - 102400
T is back on Get Physical with a brand new single, his first for the label in awhile so the anticipation has been building. 'Lucky Bastard' is a jackin' electro workout using resonant synth leads tweaked over a liquid sub-bass line and crisp bumpin' drums. Prosumer's remix stays close to the theme set by the original, replacing the main riff with syncopated key riffs and intricate micro percussion. Nice powerful buildup to this track as the main chords expand midway thru with even more drumming added to the mix.(GPM065)ELECTRO HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
RIPPERTON
A SKILIFT UPSTAIRS (SYSTEMATIC) 12 - 102407
The man behind the Connaisseur label and past releases for Border Community and Wagon Repair now hits Systematic for the very first time with this exceptional release. 'A Skilift Upstairs' is a flat-out emotional record very much in the vein of Nathan Fake, James Holden etc with gentle, sad melodic synths, crisp micro-beats and tight rolling bass riffs. The Vertigo Dub on the b-side adds a deeper bass feel and some Detroit-influenced pads, strings and analogue textures.(SYST032)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
HIEM
CLUBSCENE POPSCENE (ESKIMO) 12 - 102380
Hiem's first release since his massive "Zombie Party" on Crosstown Rebels is a deliciously deep vocal anthem infused with epic italo/electro disco synths, pads and gurgling bass. The vocal starts off unvocoded then slowly gets more electronic as the track progresses. Super cool gear. On the flip is a more poppy mix from Justus Kohncke sounding like 80's new wave material. Big package getting support from Prins Thomas, Rob Mello, Tim Sweeny and Mugwump.(501617)ELECTRO DISCO- 3/12/07-BE
DAVID K
MAYANN (COCOON) 12 - 102399
Freak n Chic's David K returns to Cocoon with an absolute stunner of a track!! 'Tender & Sugar' is a dark, acidic, downright demented beast of a track with a sick bassline and tremendous drawn-out breakdown that kicks back in like a hurricane. If the sound of 'Mayann' reminds you of 'Rej' you're not alone, David's done a wicked job recreating that vibe and adding plenty of twisted flair of his own.(COR032)ELECTRO HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
LUTZENKIRCHEN
MUSIC FOR THE *HUGGOTRON* (GREAT STUFF) 12 - 102401
Really big release comes your way from Tobias Lutzenkirchen on the Great Stuff label, a slice of retro-electro disco pressure from TL that features remix action from John Dahlback {under his Huggotron guise} as well as Deepgroove. The original version works a robotic female vocal hook over 80's synth chords and Italo-shaded basslines. Deepgroove's mix is a total reconstruction, filthy, jacking biz that will raise a few eyebrows wethinks. Huggotron's mix uses a full-on analogue arsenal to create a proper disco-electro jacker.(GSR042)ELECTRO HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
YAZOO
DONT GO *HOXTON WHORES* (WHITE) 12 - 102409
The Whores get all Dirty South on this mix of Yazoo's classic club killer "Don't Go". Getting major support from Eric Prydz and Sebastian Ingrosso already.(DONTGO)HOUSE- 3/12/07-UK

UNIT BLACK FLIGHT
WHERE IS CARLOS *LEGOWELT* (STRANGE LIFE) 12 - 102461
2nd limited 500-copy pressing on Strange Life this week featuring 5 dope electro-disco tracks including a sick Legowelt mix. We strongly suspect Legowelt is behind this entire EP, given its Ennio Morricone meets Giogio Moroder fingerprints that take us back to Legowelt's 'Squadra Blanco' period. Essential dancefloor electronics for fans of the Alden Tyrell/Alexander Robotnick sound.(SLR010)ELECTRO DISCO- 3/12/07-NL
SANDER KLEINENBERG
THIS IS MIAMI*EMJAE/FUNKAGENDA (LITTLE MOUNTAIN) 12 - 102295

The lovely Water Lilly is back with a killer new single following the success of her 'Sputnika' longplayer, including a massive remix from Arnaud Rebotini aka Black Strobe. 'Invisible Ink' shows that this lady can rock out as hard as anyone, a tough John Dahlback-inspired jam with haunting dark sounds and Lilly's enchanting whispered vox. Blackstrobe targets the dancefloor with a laser-guided bomb of a remix, amping the original leads and driving them until they collapse in a sweaty heap!(MG057)ELECTRO HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
MSTRKRFT
STREET JUSTICE (MODULAR) 12 - 101854
'Street Justice' is the third single from their 2006 album 'The Looks' and has all the hallmarks of a MSTRKRFT track; disco beats with punk rock sensibilities. Taking it's cues from ealier singles like "Easy Love" and "Work On You," the song cements MSTRKRFT's position as the premier hipster DJs, sure to fill the floor with skinny dudes in vintage tees. Currently getting played by the entire Ed Bangers crew.(MODVL51)PUNK/FUNK/DISCO- 3/12/07-UK

Here on 'Skydive From Venus' , Paris The Black Fu truly flexes his production muscles with a beautiful soul tinged track of atmospheric beauty, wonderful Underground Resistance jazzy keys and soft building percussion that wouldn't sound out of place on a Carl Craig cut. Simply stunning stuff and an amazing new direction for The Pubahs. Sam Geiser, aka Deetron adds a worthy building remix that will truly do damage on the dancefloor.(DET004)TECHNO- 3/12/07-BE

WHAT *MATTHEW STYLES* (DISCO 45) 12 - 102269
Rob Mello's Disco 45 imprint comes back with another corker, this time courtesy of Classic/Doubledown/Paranoid artist Lil Mark. 'What?' is an absolute handful of a tune, packing jackstastic beats that will have you singing the praises of Chicago along with elements of fidget house, techno and house that've been garnering support from the likes of Mark Farina {signed to Mark's latest Ministry Of Sound Sessions album} and Derrick Carter. Crosstown Rebels own Matthew Styles drops a sizzling remix on the flip that adds an entirely fresh dimension to the tune that we are liking alot.(DISCO003)HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK
KAOS
PANOPEEPS *SHIT ROBOT* (LEKTROLUV) 12 - 102381
You might recall Kaos from his work on labels like Compost, Rong or Kitsune. Here for Lektroluv Kaos gets deep and dirty on the acid tip with the bouncy number "Panopeeps". It features retro 909 drum action and a deep bumping acidic bassline that bounces around the tripped out sounds, twisted effects and meandering synth riff. Very cool shit. On the flip DFA's Shit Robot provides the remix a throwback techy mix with a more minimal vibe and retro techno synth riffs.(LL7)ACID HOUSE- 3/12/07-BE

LULLABAD
MAIN ROOM *JAY HAZE* (CRACK & SPEED) 12 - 102336
Crack & Speed serve up some more fine cuisine with Lullabad's "Main Room", an appropriately titled funky houser with thick bouncy bass, wicked synth licks with a touch of acid and clever programming that leads the tracks into weird and oh so effective drops and changes. Tuning Spork's Jay Haze provides the dirty minimal funk remix on the flip which has been a secret weapon of Steve Bug for a while now.(C&S019)HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
DROIDO
MAKE INSANE *MILTON JACKSON* (SILVER NETWORK) 12 - 102348
The original mix of Droido was produced by both Milton Jackson & Droido, two buddies from Glasgow who've produced for the likes of Freerange, Tronicsoul and Crack & Speed to name a few. "Make Insane" is a chunky freaked out house number that reminds us of Music For Freaks / Freaks material with more of a modern bleepy electro house vibe. Milton goes it alone on the flip providing a deeper more undulating deep house mix perfect for Freerange fans.(SIL023)HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
BENNO BLOME
BREITBANDNUDELN (SENDER) 12 - 102373
Sender Records head honcho gives us exactly what we need on this EP. Deep and dark, and funky as hell! Sounds like getting in the studio with Baby Ford rubbed off on him a lil bit, as this stuff totally feels like some of Mr Fords better works. HIGHLY recomended!(SEND065)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/11/07-GE
PATRICE BAUMEL
JUST ELECTRICITY (TRAPEZ) 12 - 102374
Another hit for the Trapez camp! Patrice Baumel returns with a monster of a minimal EP. The A-side is the party bomb with its deep dark bassline and punchy rhythms. Not to mention the little hypnotic think rolling around in the background. the b-side reminds me of an only F-communications record I cant remember the title of. Or, even Kenny Larkin's "Track" from like 12 years ago.(TRAPEZ73)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/11/07-GE

GANGSTERS REVENGE / CAT PEOPLE (WHITE) 12 - 102497

On the A-side we have 'Gangsters Revenge', this samples Coolio's 'Gangster's Paradise' Mislay does this eloquently combining a bouncy electro-house vibe sparse yet clever use of the originals vocals. Flip over & its David Bowie's 'Cat People' taken from the Soundtrack of 'Putting Out Fire' the result is a deep yet penetrating electronic remix full of Solid Groove styled funk.(LRRF001)HOUSE- 3/12/07-UK

Our good friend Alexi Delano is one funky mother for sure. His tracks are as diverse as the labels they appear on from Dessous, Missile, Hybrid, Turbo, Earthtones, Svek, Plastic City and Wave to name just a few. Here for Audiomatique, Mr Delano provides a deep bumping acidic number similar in style to his "Acid Sessions" on his own AD Limited imprint with more of a Get Physical tilt. On the flip Alexi gets even deeper and darker on "Not My Enemy" a sparse mind boggling acid bomb currently getting run from James Holden and Radio Slave.(AM21)HOUSE- 3/08/07-GE
WILL SAUL & TAM COOPER
SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS *K BLACK* (SIMPLE) 12 - 102165
Will Saul & Tam Cooper team up for an excellent deep house outing on Simple records. This is the first time the 2 have released together, and we hope it's not the last, as this one is well deserving of attention. The drums are slightly techy, but the chords are pure house. Almost sounding like old Global Communication ambient stuff laid over the top of some older Josh Wink type stuff. Very much on the lighter side of house music. So, its only fitting to get the remix on the flip to be on the darker side, right? So, they enlisted Wagon Repair and M_nus big-shot Konrad Black to take it into no mans land. The 808 is on point, and the 101 is in full effect. Kinda remeniscent of his first EP for Wagon Repair, and we all remember just how sweet THAT was!(SIMPLE0722)HOUSE- 3/08/07-GE
REMO
MIZAR *AUDIOFLY* (REVOX) 12 - 102247
Pure filth on Audiofly's remix here with strong synth action laced with heavy effects giving the track a dark driving and quite druggy fucked up beyond all belief feel. The track builds into a HUGE synth fury and breaks big time creating one clusterfuck on the floor.(RX081)HOUSE- 3/08/07-IT
MIKE SHANNON
TACTILE RED (CYNOSURE) 12 - 102163
The second part of the "Tactile" series from Mike Shannon. "Red" features more of Mike's kicking deep minimal funk that made his reputation what it is today. The a side's "8Bit Rojo" is a hard and dirty groover, with straight jacking beats, low res sound and a slick gliding bassline that pumps up the bottom end. Mathew Jonson has been battering this bad ass tune. On the flip "Red Tide" delves deeper and slowly builds with more low rez synth action into a swinging after hours gem for the headz.(CYN021)HOUSE- 3/08/07-GE
MR G

LOS ANGELES TF
MAGICAL BODY (CLONE CLASSIC CUTS) 12 - 102393
Italo doesn't get truer than this little gem previously released eons ago on cult Italian label Il Discotto and formerly fetching some large amounts on Ebay. 'Magical Body' is an energetic Italo anthem with retro female lyrics, unquantised synth stabs and fat electro beats, straight-up vintage stuff!

Railyard's Sean Palm sets the tone with his debut release, some wicked funky electro-tech gear with building pads and percussion that make this track sound like the bastard love child of James Holden and Dan Curtin.

EBE
GROUNDED EP (PLASTIC CITY) 12 - 97730
Time for a little U.S. action on the famed Plastic City imprint courtesy of EBE aka Cali producer Lucas Rodenbush, who's been doing it well for over 10 years now on labels like Grayhound, Solid Grooves and Soma. Led by the a-side track 'Votion' and its soulful vocal snippets, deep piano stabs and ultra-phat dub bass lines, the 'Grounded EP' captures that timeless Plastic City sound while adding some fresh and new twists along the way. A true must-have!(PLAX053)TECH HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE
ZIMMERMANN
#1 (HI FREAKS) 12 - 101616
The thing we've always liked about Zimmermann and his productions is that he has never been with a high profile label, which has allowed him to stick to his wicked micro/minimal house style without being pressured to 'conform' to expectations. Case in point is his newest release, for German imprint Hi Freaks, which features a pair of tracks that we reckon would cause Richie Hawtin to go bananas. We're talking ultra minimal, ultra tweaked and uber-rocking micro-techno shizzle with a nose for the dancefloor.(HIFREAKS05)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE
KAB
DOCUMENT 123 (WIR) 12 - 101883

MIA
BITTERSUSS REMIXES (SUB STATIC) 12 - 102349
Here we have a collection of remixes done for the artist MIA(the minimal techno one, not the other one). First up is Shonky remixing Swoon. Listening to the tones, its 100% pure Shonky. Bleepy and bloopy with deep FX washes, stiff and clicky percussion and some nice vocal samples to round it all off. One of the cooler things Shonky has done to date! Next up is Drama Society also remixing Swoon. They go the more Tiefschwarz route without reaching too hard and going over the top. Very tastefully done! Finally, we have Falko Brocksieper remixing Cant Find You. this one is a deep one too. Really great on the percussion, and very trippy on the FX for the vocal samples. Ol Falko rarely disappoints and this one is one of his finest mixes to date.(SUS63)HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE

THE BEEP (MULE ELECTRONIC) 12 - 102371
Dublee brings some hotness to the normally super deep Mule Electronic label. The A side is straight jackin minimal techno. Easily could see this is one of Josh Winks or Luciano's sets. On the flipside, the italo-ness comes out for an acidy disco vibe.(MULE028)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/11/07-GE

These two guys from Cologne are making a serious attempt to launch electro house into a new direction with this killer release that ought to do some proper damage in Miami this year.

DJ PRINZ & CECEM
DRAMATIC *DJ FEX* (PUNKID) 12 - 102507
Dj Fex is first up on the mix for "Dramatic" and he delivers a deep techy mix with funky analog bass, wicked synth arpeggios and nasty beats. His mix is already a firm fave of Steve Bug who has been rocking it for some time now. The original on the B aint to shabby either, a rough and rugged electro tech bomb of a mix.(PUNK03)HOUSE- 3/12/07-BE
CIREZ D
THEME *J DAHLBACK/S LEGER* (MOUSEVILLE) 12 - 93902
BACK IN STOCK!!!!! Cirez D aka Eric Prydz with the mighty 'Mouseville Theme' on the A and two mixes of 'Knockout' on the flip courtesy of John Dahlback and Sebastian Leger!! "Mous eville Theme' kicks off like a rocket with floor-shaking kicks, big dirty bass stabs and some crazy off-kilter riffs and edits. Eric really outdoes himself on this one as he brings in truckloads of warped bass and twisted synth action. John Dahlback remixes Mouse002 'Knockout' and turns it into a freaked-out electro tech banger. LFO-mangled sounds and a SICK bassline drop bring the energy level to a ridiculous level. We think this is one of John's finest productions, PERIOD. Sebastian Leger gives you a chunkier tech workout with some tasty acid licks snuck in here and there. Like the other cuts there is plenty of energy to spare but Leger brings it all within a tight, tech house framework that will easily cross over to the prog and techno jocks.(MOUSE005)ELECTRO HOUSE- 5/17/06-GE

NEWCLEUS
JAM ON IT*DJ T/C VON STROKE* (DEEPLAY SOULTEC) 12 - 101456
Its rare enough to find two of the biggest names in house today, DJ T and Claude Von Stroke, remixing the same record, but factor in the fact that the tune in question is 80's electro anthem 'Jam On It' by Newcleus and you can easily see what all the fuss is about! T is up first with a crazy electronic house relick that leaves plenty of the original's punch and energy well in there along with his trademark Get Physical sounds and arrangements. Then 'dirty bird' Claude Von Stroke drops a devastating slice of electro-funk, chopped-up and freaked out stuff that will have kids losing their shit. The flip features a pair of deeper techier mixes from Martin Brodin that work great for the cooler rooms. BACK IN FULL!(DTEC013)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE

Remute (Trapez) provides the remix, a tougher number with blasts of wicked synth freakout action, glitchy grooves and nice elements from the original. On the flip, HOSH (Stil Vor Talent) drops "Steppenwolf" a deep funky undulating house bomb that is trippy as fuck with Herbert-esque melodies, Rhythm & Sound styled drums/bass and great touches of live instrumentation. Very cool gear.(DIYNAMIC05)HOUSE- 3/12/07-GE

TURNING LEAVES (DIRTY TRICK) 12 - 101260
Quality track from prolific artist with releases on Bananza, Dot Bleep, Uniform, Inuendo and more. He is also one half of the production duo Trademarq. The track effortlessly incorporates jacking drums with rhythmically manipulated vocal snippets, old school NY piano phrasing and a teched out bouncing bassline that continually builds the tension for pure dancefloor enjoyment. On the incredible remixes is the mysterious NY producer The Good Guy who turns in two separate burners.The real deal here is the "The Good Guy's Angry at the World Mix". A dirty warehouse feel with grit to the track reminiscent of Prescription and Peacefrog releases. Dubsided low end grime. The "The Good Guy on Dubs" mix immerses the listener in a lush world of dubbed out floating synth stabs and lethargic piano meanderings as the bassline dives into late night territory. Getting play from Heather, Fred Everything, Justin long, Diz, The Sound Republic, John Larner, Miss Honey Dijon and Slum Science.(DTR002)HOUSE- 3/07/07-US

On the B-side Eric Stamile provides his "Old School Revival Dub" taking us back to the 80s with it's bright saw synth chord progression and a dirty electronic synth bassline to spice things up a bit. Last but not least is the laid back classic soul sound of the original.(SLT010)HOUSE- 3/06/07-US
LEO PORTELA
FEEL RIGHT (ONE THIRTY) 12 - 101845
Bouncy beats, rubbery bassline, smooth keys, quirky synths and filtering make for a soothing yet upbeat floor friendly jam here with slight vocals in place for a finishing touch. Second track on side A is a polished jazz funker with slick instrumentation all the way. Side B is Jevne's mix which has a punched up bigger sound, hardened up bass and more drive ,added keys and a stompin' appeal to it's energy plus a synth lick that sounds a lot like the hook from the Stardust hit"Music Sounds Better".(130007)HOUSE- 3/06/07-US
