QUALITY CONTROLS

SOUTHERN COMFORT *TROYDON* (DROP MUSIC) 12  - 104298

SYNTAX EXCLUSIVE! Quality Controls are none other than Troydon and Joshua Heath. When Troydon first played at LA's premier house night; Balance, he met resident Joshua Heath, and the two hit it off to say the least.  Having such similar tastes in music and outlook on life, they decided to try out a joint project. After passing a few ideas back and forth online the dynamic duo cranked out what would become the "Southern Comfort EP" in a matter of days. Four tracks that define both artists musical diversity, penchant for funky beats, quirky rhythms and locked on dancefloor grooves. The Inland Knights absolutely love this one (like we had to tell you that) but the ep has also received massive support from the likes of Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Chris Duckenfield, Dj Sneak and Hodges to name but a few.(DRM053)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

CULTURAL VIBE

MA FOOM BEY 2007 *PEACE DIVIS* (EASY STREET) 12  - 104667

DJ/producer Justin Dake of Peace Division and accomplished dance music enthusiast and producer Nicole Moudaber join forces to remake this legendary house track and aim it directly at the 2007 Ibiza crowd. Both mixes stay faithful to the original while tweaking the classic elements for maximum appre ciation. The dub side really strikes out on it's own with aneerily pleasing added synth line and a rumbling tribal(in the original sense) finish.(EZS7636)HOUSE- 6/14/07-US

 

SINDEN & COUNT OF MONTE CRISTA

EVERYBODY ROCKING (COUNTERFEET) 12  - 104954

Joshua 'Herve' Harvey aka 'Count Of Monte Cristal' and partner in crime Sinden are fixin' to blow your mind with their funk and bass-infested 'Everybody Rocking'. The lads fuse together a shedload of sharp ghetto beats, rude rave bass stabs, spurts and vocal edits to create one of their nastiest floor assaults yet.(COUNT004)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

JAMIE ANDERSON

TIME IS NOW *INLAND KNIGHTS* (NRK) 12  - 104324

Following the 11 minute epic Radio Slave remix of Jamie Anderson's "Time Is Now", NRK enlist another of today's biggest underground producers to have a go at it. Drop Music's Inland Knights deliver two outstanding mixes, very much in the vein of the bombs they put out on their imprint, jacking, beefy, undulating, melodic and super super funky.(NRK122R)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

BLACK BALL VOL 1

TIGER STYLE / SO SICK (BLACK BALL) 12  - 104601

From the same camp that brought you the Popular Peoples Front aka Swag comes this new slab of crunked up house and acid bashing for dirty basement floors. We've got some nasty hip house action, Switch styled jacking funk and underground mash up mayhem. This is limited as fuck so jump on it, ya heard!(BBR0001T)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

JUSTICE

THE CROSS *DLP* (BECAUSE / ED BANGERS) DP  - 104786

Justice debut album is here , "CROSS" which is a wonderful twelve track album which opens with 'Genesis'. A dark baroque beginning that introduces a mind fuck of an album that proves  that Justice’s unique talent is to be found where least expected. Take for example 'Let There Be Light' and its strident angry electro driven by a jabbing bassline, 'D.A.N.C.E', a pure piece of vicious house sang innocently by a choir of children, 'Newjack' a funky parody of the opulent times of the French Touch. 'Phantom I' that takes over where 'Waters of Nazareth' left off to drift towards 'Phantom II' and its head-swirling disco violins. 'Valentine', an erotic melancholic nursery rhyme, like a tribute to Vladimir Cosma and 'The Party' a pure electro funk track where the sexy Uffie plays more than ever the cheeky Lolita. 'DVNO', a lesson to anyone trying to fuse electro with rock. 'Stress', a hectic race that would drive the Chemical Brothers insane with jealousy. Or the finale, 'One Minute to Midnight', a parallel to the 'Genesis' opening, which closes the album beautifully.(BEC5772110)NU RAVE- 6/18/07-FR

 

TOMMY LARGO

THE ROBBING & STEALING *DESMET (KOLOR) 12  - 104804

You'll likely recall Tommy Largo from his wicked outing on the Lost My Dog label. Here for the Kolor imprint Tommy gets busy with a track that sounds like Cricco Castelli mixed up with a bit of Spiller and some Da Sunlounge thrown in for good measure. Deep, funky, jazzy, jacking and quite the west coast house number. Remix comes courtesy of Amenti's Olivier Desmet & Oriental Funk Stew who toughen it up a bit adding beefier beats and a more dubbed up funked out vibe.(KR005)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

MANOO

AGOE (EARTHRUMENTAL) 12  - 104851

Ultra deepness from Deeply Rooted House/Buzzin Fly/Real Tone producer Manoo. The title track "Agoe" has a similar deep and hypnotic vibe as Mano Calda's "Eddy's Theme" with dubby stabs, haunting strings, trippy effects and pushing deep beats. Both "Slum" and "Others" have a similarly deep and percussive vibe perfect for fans of Franck Roger and his crew.(EM05)HOUSE- 6/18/07-FR

 

MANUEL TUR

PORTAMENTO *PALM SKIN* (FREERANGE) 12  - 104943

Manuel is back, following the success of his 'Acorado EP' with an even more mind-blowing concoction of deep, warm house music with his certain irresistable 'something' sprinkled throughout. 'Portamento' is a slow burning atmospheric groover with ultra-warm synths and hypnotising bassline, one for the floor. The remix from Palm Skin Productions works that original into a synth-fueled frenzy that lies somewhere between Kerri Chandler and Daniel Stefanik. As a bonus Manuel includes 'Slumber', a minimal & moody jam thats been a personal fave of Dirt Crew's James Flavour, amongst others.(FR091)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

CHEMICAL BROTHERS

DO IT AGAIN / CLIP KISS (VIRGIN) 12  - 104304

OFFICIAL RELEASE! 'Do It Again' features Ali Love on vocals and is the first single to be taken from The Chems' forthcoming album 'We Are The Night'.(CHEMST25)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

TRACEY THORN

RAISE THE ROOF *BEYOND THE WIZ (VIRGIN) 12  - 104586

SUPER LIMITED! Beyond The Wizards Sleeve remix and two Cagedbaby remixes on this one. Get these quickly as the last one from Ms Thorn sold out and has yet to be repressed!(VST1944)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

TERESA JENEE

REMEMBER *YORUBA SOUL/KARIZMA* (YORUBA) 10  - 104843

Yoruba Records continues with the heat and is proud to present their latest artist, the talented Teresa Jeneea. This first lovely offering "Remember" is a heartfelt soulful vocal of promises and memories of love gone wrong, beautifully captured by Osunlade in true Yoruba style, heavy percussion, sultry melodies and warm instrumentation. Karizma also pitches in a mix getting seriously deep on his "Kaytronik" dub which is a favorite of Kerri Chandler and Ferrer right now.(YS15)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

DIGITALISM

IDEALISM *DLP* (KITSUNE) DP  - 104847

Eagerly anticipated debut album from the rockers of the electronic world, Digitalism. For the past two years, Digitalism have been the go-to-guys when it comes to indie remixes having reworked Klaxons, Cut Copy, Futureheads and The Test Icicles to name a few. Their string of releases on Kitsune have sent ripples through the nipples of both the electronic music scene and the indie scene as well. At last comes their debut album, filled with all their single hits as well as quite a few more unreleased ones.(KITSUNELP9)PUNK/FUNK/DISCO- 6/18/07-FR

 

GLACIER

FULL RIVER ROAD (WAGON REPAIR) 12  - 104900

Pier Bucci & Crazy Larry team up for a solid batch of hotness! Their first outing ends up here on Wagon Repair and boy, does it FIT! 3 techy jams that remind us a alot of the early days of Mathew Jonson's stuff, before it got mostly song based productions. Lush grooves, as well as jackin. We can expect great things from these 2 if they continue to team up.(WAG027)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/18/07-GE

 

SERGE SANTIAGO

CYAN EDITS *ROXY MUSIC* (ARCO EDIT) 12  - 104936

Ex Radio Slave guy and all-around Italo champion Serge Santiago presents the latest shade of edits to a classic track of yesterday, this time namely Roxy Music's seminal 'Angel Eyes'. Snippets of Bryan Ferry's distinctive voice interact with Serge's all new percussion loops and basslines on both the 'Epic Edit' and the punchier 'Phillips Dub'. Must-haves!!(ARCOED205)ELECTRO DISCO- 6/18/07-UK

 

BURNSKI

POP 3 (20 20 VISION) 12  - 104944

More choice tunage from Ralph Lawson's mighty 20:20 Vision imprint who continue to lurk at the forefront of the electronic house sound. Burnski's outings for Infant, Trapez, Morris Audio and Dirt Crew have won him a huge following which he cashes in on here big time with the tracks 'Pop 3' 'Arsid' and 'Sensation', currently caned by Chris Duckenfield, Justin Long, Paul Woolford & Satoshi Tomiie.(VIS152)ELECTRO HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

D RAMIREZ

LA DISCOTEK *EMERSON/CAGEDBABY (UNDERWATER) 12  - 104542

The original's huge tribal/tech sound gets boosted even further into the stratosphere thanks to a pair of new looks courtesy of Darren Emerson and Caged Baby. Emerson's remix is a filthy, steamy tech/freak workout that sees the spoken vocals get bathed in nasty reverbs, lashed by dirty electronic beats and dominated by a grungified electro lead. On the flip Caged Baby's mix is a darker affair with a sleeker electro house vibe thats just right when its time to shift your set into mental overdrive.(H20080R)TECH HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

       

TURBO CRYSTAL

FRENCH GIRL *ESCORT/MAMMARELLA (TINY STICKS) 12  - 104787

The original mix of "French Girl" has an Emperor Machine meets Tiga with a touch of LCD Soundsystem thrown in for good measure. The remix comes from our very own live disco outfit Escort who take the track deep into funk-d-fried disco waters with a full motion arrangement that features slick new horns, fat disco bass, dope percussion, funky guitar licks and an ESG vibe. On the flip "Another Glass" has a nasty no wavemeets rock feel reminiscent of some of In Flagranti's work. This in turn gets a twisted disco reworking from Bear Funk's Fabrizio Mammarella.(STICK012)PUNK/FUNK/DISCO- 6/18/07-FR

 

AGORIA

LES VIOLONS IVRES (DIFFERENT) 12  - 104816

Words are not enough to describe how beautiful and deep this one is, shit it is dope! If you're into Ame, you're going to love this. It's like Ame with even more emotion if you could imagine that. The violin on this is tear jerking while the synths and slick beats lock you into a soulful rump shaking groove. Again, this one is brilliant what more can we say. This is an extended version not found on the album.(DIFF1074T)HOUSE- 6/18/07-BE

 

SPINCYCLE

DRUG GAMES *BRETT JOHNSON* (LEFTROOM LTD) 12  - 104909

Originally out on the Geek imprint five years ago, this Spincycle joint was a major tune for a slew of top dj's, one of those secret squirrel jams that sent trainspotters to the booth everywhere. Leftroom unearths this hidden classic and gets Brett Johnson and Audiofly X to drop some heavy remixes. The original sounds just as relevant and hot as it did in 02', The Audiofly X mix is a warped acidic mix that fits in nicely with recent RZ material or say Dj Fex shit (go back and check his "Acid Forever" on Brique Rouge people you're sleeping!). Brett Johnson gets Chicago bleepy on his mix which utilises some freaked out synth bleep action, shuffling beats and dirty pitched vocal bits.(LEFTLTD006)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

TREVOR LOVEYS & SINDEN

ORGAN GRINDER (DUBSIDED) 12  - 104714

Another absolutely massive new jam from Dubsided with Trevor Loveys and Sinden doing the damage this time out. This 4 tracker leads off with the bumpin' title cut 'Organ Grinder' with its fierce jackin' beats, squelchy acidic bassline from hell and all manner of wonky, cut-up and generally abused samples and sounds- easily one of THE best Dubsided tracks yet, and thats only the FIRST of 4 tracks on this EP!!! Loveys follows suit with 'The Crossing', 'Can't Stop' plus a new edit of 'Finger Jackin' that makes damn sure you get more than your money's worth.(DSD013)HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

 

INLAND KNIGHTS

HIGH RISE (RAISE) 12  - 104272

Brand new imprint from the Inland Knights kicks off with quite the collectors item. "High Rise" comes on limited edition colored vinyl and is a sure fire funky dancefloor filler. It features a slick undulating bass groove, cool bits of catchy vocals, skanking bits of guitar, jacking beats, a nice touch of filter freaking and slick effects. Inland Knights in top form as always.(RAISE01)HOUSE- 5/29/07-UK

 

FRANCOIS DUBOIS

I TRY *J ANDERSON* (URBAN TORQUE) 12  - 104719

2nd remix disc from Mr Dubois aka Funk D'Void is an all-star affair featuring contributions from Jamie Anderson, Steve Ferrand and Aqua Bassino. Jamie's mix fittingly leads off the package, a deeper than deep excursion with sublime taunting synths, uplifting chords and rounded techy beats that've been gaining rave reviews from Laurent Garnier, Digweed, James Talk to name but a few. Dessous producer Steve Ferrand follows nicely with a wicked tech house workout thats all about the sharp, surgically precise beats and laidback chords. Finally F Com's Aqua Bassino comes wtih a moody techno finisher that is worth the price of admission all by itself!(URTR035)TECH HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

 

DUB PISTOLS

OPEN *TREVOR LOVEYS* (SUNDAY BEST) 12  - 104834

Solid Groove fans head straight for the Trevor Loveys "Open All Hours Re-Jig", it's an insane fidget styled remix that takes the original into a whole new galaxy with warped jacking bass, jacking beats, great use of the vocals chopping them up & re-arranging them nicely and simply MASSIVE dancefloor energy. If you're a Switch fan, DO NOT MISS THIS!(SBEST47)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

GREGOR TRESHER

A THOUSAND NIGHTS (GREAT STUFF) 12  - 104841

Tresher returns to Great Stuff with one of his biggest releases PERIOD...the rolling, bass-fueled 'A Thousand Nights' thats been a huge part of John Acquaviva's set for the past few months now. The deceptively simple bassline stabs, subtle pads and crisp percussion all unite to create a very Booka hade-style vibe!!(GSR049)ELECTRO HOUSE- 6/18/07-GE

 

INFANT PRES SIMON BAKER

PLASTIK / JITTERS (PLAYHOUSE) 12  - 104884

Heres one we had a couple weeks ago as a 1 sided release from a 20/20 vision sublabel. This one here comes to us from Playhouse and they threw in a B-side thats right up there with it's a-side. Said to be getting MASSIVE play from RICHIE HAWTIN and RICARDO VILLALOBOS, and we can see why. HUGE record here, folks!(PLAY137)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/18/07-GE

 

TIGER STRIPES / SOLOMUN

HOOKED / JUNGLE RIVER (LIEBE DETAIL) 12  - 104892

Another top notch split 12" for the Liebe Detail crew. This one is lead by Tiger Stripes who KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK on this one! The best way i can describe it to you is if Ferrer & Sydenham did Ame's "Rej". But it doesnt come across as a complete ripoff or anything so I wouldnt let that sway you. Its probably the strongest thing we're heard from Tiger Stipes in a LONG time, if not ever! On the flip, Solomun keeps it in the same general vein for organic deepness. Absolutely SURE to please lovers of the deepness.(LIEBE017)HOUSE- 6/18/07-GE

 

ROBERT & DORNROOSJE

THOM IN THE CITY (THOM01) 12  - 104898

Heres one that should get some attention. An unofficial 2 tracker of remix/edits. Side A is a remix of the opener from Thom Yorke's full length LP called The Eraser. On the flip, a reworking of Robert Hood's "Minus". Who could do such a thing? We hear it's a producer by the name of Henrik Schwarz, or something like this. Ever hear of him? Order FAST, folks! This one probably wont be around very long.()EDIT- 6/18/07-GE

D RAMIREZ & MARK KNIGHT

COLOMBIAN SOUL (TOOLROOM TRAX) 12  - 104942

'Colombian Soul' was one of the big tunes at this year's WMC and now makes its vinyl debut along with two more brand new bangers from D Ramirez and Mark Knight, 'System' and 'Throb'. 'Colombian Soul' caters to the tougher floors as you might expect, with electro/tech and house flavours mixed in and mashed up, causing intense club tremors out there!(TRT28V)TECH HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

MR OIZO

TRANSEXUAL (ED BANGERS) 12  - 104466

2007 is set to be as big a year for Mr Oizo as 1997, the year in which "Flat Beat" was released. His productions as of late have been the driving force of the nu rave movement and this five tracker provides a funkier edge to that sound. The title cut is a speak n spell styled bomb that is catchy as hell. "Ovoma" gets raw and funky with synth grooves that are off the wall and quite infectious as well, sounding like a quirky movie soundtrack meets dirty underground funk. "Patrick 122" is already a huge one for Justice, Dj Mehdi and the rest of the Bangers crew, cut and paste disco meets nu rave meets Daft Punk and Outkast. Rounding off the ep is "Blind Concerto" a trippy electro disco tainted number that gets crazy on the synth arpeggios and effects.(ED016)NU RAVE- 6/11/07-FR

 

CYPRESS HILL VS FILTHY RICH

GOT NO BRAIN (WHITE) 12  - 103360

Another hot exclusive from the same people who bought us Micky Slim's "Jump". Another huge Hip Hop infused electro house track this time filthy bassing up Cypress Hill's classic "Insane In the Membrane". More hard bass lines , electro beats and huge breakdown into the original. Tried and tested formula like "Jump" this will be signed...Get these early whites quick before they're gone.(INSANE001)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

PHAROAHE MONCH

BODY BABY *SINDEN & COUNT OF M (ISLAND) 12  - 104597

The lead single from Pharoahe Monch's long awaited second album 'Desire', 'Body Baby' is a proper cross over record in the vein of Outkast or Gnarls Barkley. Count Of Monte Cristal & Sinden provide the jerky Switch styled mix while Optimo opts for a dub that gets all Headman / Fine / Relish.(1736972)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

D CLASSICS

V/A *24 HOURS CARGO/W.T.T.P.D* (D CLASSICS) 12  - 104789

Fourth incredible offering in the D Classics series (a favorite of Doc Martin) features a Ron Hardy favorite (He used to open up the Music Box almost every night with it). This track is as relevant now as ever and is a must for fans of Serge Santiago. On the flip a French 80's chart topper "24 Hours Cargo" receives two wicked make-overs, definitely one for the Harvey / Jeno fans out there.(DCLAS004)HOUSE- 6/18/07-FR

 

UNKLEJAM

LOVE YA *HERVE/ELEKTRONS* (VIRGIN) 12  - 104809

'What Am I Fighting For' is the massive follow up single to the debut 'Love Ya'. With their instantly recognisable unique electro-soul sound the trio are quickly establishing themselves as a force. They're currently touring with Justin Timberlake. We're loving the Herve (Dubsided) mixes on this 12" with MASSIVE Switch / fidget house action that induces hysteria on the floor with mental bass, jacking beats and twisted use of the vocals. Elektrons tune in with two pretty swank mixes of their own, beefy electro rubs that are quite funky and use the Gnarls Barclay styled vocals nicely.(VSTDJ1937)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

BEN WESTBEECH

DANCE WITH ME *SWITCH* (BROWNSWOOD) 12  - 104819

Lace up your dancing shoes for the sizzling, summery new single from rising star and multi-talented musical force Ben Westbeech. This is taken from his recent debut album and features a mix from a man who can do no wrong in our ears as of late, Switch. Switch does the typical fidget funked up house thing on his mix, funky, god damn funky. Not groundbreaking shit but it works so well you just cant fuck with it!(BWOOD017)HOUSE- 6/18/07-UK

 

BEROSHIMA

HORIZON *PIG & DAN* (COCOON) 12  - 104837

Frank Muller aka Beroshima has been combining techno and house in his productions long before everyone began tossing around the 'electro house' and 'electro techno' tags and his sound naturally fits the Cocoon label like a glove. 'Horizon' is a moody, energetic rolling track with layered sounds and vibes, pumping electrofied percussion and a wicked climax. Vath favourites Pig & Dan deliver a dark, electronic re-write that adds an arpegiated b-line drop thats off the hook.(COR038)ELECTRO HOUSE- 6/18/07-GE

 

SIDESHOW

AFRICAN CHERI *GOLDMANN* (AUS MUSIC) 12  - 104885

Sideshow with a shuffly but deep house jam perfect for early morning house sessions. Lots of organic percussion and a soft bassline. On the flip, Steffan Goldmann comes absolutely correct with an ultra mental remix thats as funky as it is scary.(AUS0705)HOUSE- 6/18/07-GE

 

KOTEY & MAMMARELLA

LOVE SPRINKLE (BEAR FUNK GOLD) 12  - 104887
