AGAVE0719 : Jazzy Eyewear vs Toka Project
All Spun Up - Agave – US
Jazzy Eyewear residing in the
sunshine state has brought his attention to you through the potent So Sound
label of which he devised some time back. He now makes his debut here on Agave
with a potent three tracker with the help of his friends across the pond, To-Ka
Project. The long side reflects the initial spark to this project for Agave’s
A&R with the Spinning original. It’s simplistic rhythm and mono bass
stabbing are the foundation of which this puncher is built. Subtle vocal riffs
and clever edits roll through the entire track giving the floor many tidbits to
shake to. The UK’s To-Ka Project takes command of the B1 with a jazzy
edit of the Spinning title. Swinging bassline and shaker rhythm make this
outside cut a real gem for the flip. It was a real toss up for team Agave as to
where to place this remix as it truly works on either side. Jazzy makes his
return on the inside for a new track all together. Temperature rising is a
chilled out ringer with a delicate male vocal not heard too often. It calls out
leaving the loop stuck in one’s ear for much time to come.

GFR007 : Slum Science
Strikes EP – Goodfamily Recordings – US
Great EP from Hudd Traxx label owners Slum Science, this time on San Fran’s own Good Family."Right Up My Street" on A1, is indeed just that - tight percussion and a sweet rhodes riffs galore. "Strikes" on A2 features a short disco-guitar loop, heavy bass, and a definite Chicago sort of feeling. Flip over for "Taking It Back" on B1, another dance floor friendly track with cool piano and vocal samples. Last but not least on B2 we have Jason Hodges taking up the remix duty of "Taking It Back" which delivers exactly what's expected: tight drum programing, filtered vocal bits, and loads of dancefloor appeal

FAR-OTRS6 : Herb LF
"Fruchtalarm (Wighnomy Remix)" : FARSIDE – DE
Farside Records presents “Fruchtalarm", the second 12inch from Herb LF. With heavy plays of his “Miles/Jam 2 Tha Mother” release by DJs like Rainer Trüby, Jimpster (scored top 3 in his charts), Jazzanova, Osunlade or Marcus Worgull, “Fruchtalarm” comes along to fill the floors with a hypnotic dope-deep-detroit-tech-house grower & beautiful chords/strings. Everbody who knows Herb LF as part of the duo Westpark Unit (with Ingo Sänger), Gush Collective or house, freestyle, drum & bass DJ, could not overlook his fable for booming bassline business. When the “Fruchtalarm” bass drops in every party is a rocking place, but still with the necessary dosis of deepness, soul or jazz. Another highlight of the 12inch is the breath taking “Fruchtalarm” remix by our friend and one of the most famous German electronic masterminds to date, Robag Wruhme (Wighnomy Brothers, Freude Am Tanzen, Mute). By the way, the complete label catalogue of Robag has been mastered by Herb LF. The “Fruchtalarm” mix of mighty Robag Wruhme is one of his best so far! You might call this jazz, minimal electronic, house or whatever. With this wonderful vibe and the irresistible groove, the “Wighnomy Obstkokktailie” rework of “Fruchtalarm” should find its way to all floors and could be magic even in loungy sets. Did I hear someone shouting St. Germain?? An Herb LF record would not be Herb LF without the right dose of dopeness. “City Rush Boogie Dub” features the vox of Matt Flores (Compost, Combination) and is so easy and fresh. House with an hip hop vibe, dubsounds and jazz appeal. Jus’ cool!

COMP256-1 : Koop
"Remixes By Drumlesson, SIRS & Beanfield" : COMPOST – DE
Third installment in the “Koop Island” remix series comes with hot club mixes by Christian Prommer’s Drumlesson (a 7 minute tech jazz meets classic house workout) , SIRS (aka Daniel Klein aka Gucciman) and Beanfield. Played by DJ Karizma, Laurent Garnier, Jamie Odell, Ben Watt, Louie Vega … Three is the magic number! As a matter of fact the third installment in the Koop remix series brings you not only some more floor friendly reworks of everyone’s favourite transvestite jazzers but at least two sureshot bangers! On the A-Side we got the mighty Drumlesson Remix by Christian Prommer. The producer of Fauna Flash and Voom:Voom fame picks up the bonus beats of the album to transform them into a 7 minute tech-jazz-meets-classic-house workout that drags “Drum Rhythm A” kicking and screaming onto the dancefloor. The B-Side once again sees Beanfield’s remix of “I See A Different You” but this time sweet singer Yukimi Nagano gets left behind on the excursion to Detroit. And yes, the much requested instrumental version sounds even better without the vocals! Last but not least there is a nice version of “Let’s Elope” by SIRS - also known as Gucciman or Daniel Klein, co-founder of Flamingo Discos. He pushes the right buttons to build a grooving deep house tune around the warm vocals of Mikael Sundin. So, let’s elope today with Koop!

GM19 : Glenn Coates
Waking up the Gimp EP : GUESTHOUSE MUSIC – US
After recent sucess on Greenhouse, Glenn Coates steps over the pond and joins Guesthouse Music for a solid 3 tracker. A1 is a head turner with smooth keys, a proper deep bass and a wicked horn solo. The second track on the A side is Touchy Feely, a bouncy track w/ vocal stabs and nice punchy bass lines. B1 is the pick of the lot for me, with some herbie hancock samples, proper programming and a solid synth basslinse that rides with the groove the whole track. Guesthouse does it again, House music at its best.
TANGO054 : Casey Nefcy vs Jessica Marquez
Put it back “Remixes by Juke Joint and Dj Dealer” – TANGO RECORDINGS – US
Longtime Om Records engineer Casey Nafcy teams up with Uneaq's Jessica Marquez for a deep vocal cut ideal for the Tango crowd. The Original is a moody late night track with perfect vocals from Jessica and deep bass highlighted by smooth distant keys. DJ Dealer takes things up a notch reminicent of his Pound Boy fame. With plenty of vocal stabs and synth riffs, this is definitley a peaktime track. Props to Tango, another quality release!
LINGO004 - MATT SHREWD / SLATER HOGAN & JOHN LARNER
UNDERWATER / HIPSHAKA LINGO RECORDINGS US
Matt Shrewd kicks of this 4th release from Lingo Recordings with some Jacked up Funk, "Underwater". As well as a classic Funk bass line Matt also adds a pulsating electro bass to drive this tune along, add some snippets of funky horns and Rare Groove piano stabs, finally add some Male & Female vocal harmonies edits which all combine to create a Jackin gem. First up on the remix duty is the one and only Chuck Love. Chuck’s remix is reminiscent of his recent Tango outings while he blends old school and new school. A Must have! Flip it over for Hogan & Larners "Hipshaker" a tight little jazz roller with Jackin beats and bass. The boys know how to work a melody to the max and the simple rhythms and melodies create hooks that will stick in your head and enter the conscience quickly. Last up is Lingo’s own William Alexander, who is already making a name for himself off his recent Ringside EP. He puts his unique blend of choppy beats and heavy basslines to create a sound that’s sure to get your head noddin.

SIDE POCKET EP - TASTIE MUSIC UK

Craig Hamilton Jacks up on the remix with steppin' beats and bumpy B Line.

BOB SINCLAR PR FIREBALL
WHAT I WANT (YELLOW PRODUCTIONS) 12 - 104986
New killer club friendly hit by the man who can apparently do nothing but make hit records, Bob Sinclar. This anthem features a ragga fuelled vocal laced over a typically monster groove with a sound not too far off from Masters At Work's "Work". Dis gonna be big but did we really need to tell you that?(YP236)HOUSE- 6/25/07-FR
JEFF SAMUEL
FIRE *VONSTROKE* (POKER FLAT) 12 - 105061
Fans of Jeff Samuel should be pretty pleased here. Jeff has hit on something BIG in what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest tracks of the summer, and possibly his breakout hit! "Fire" has an acidic groove that builds and builds over a period of 3 buildups that will easily get the floor JUMPING aand going absolutely berzerk! Throw in a couple of rock solid remixs from Claude VonStroke and St Sebastian and youve got yourself one hell of a Poker Flat record!(PFR86)HOUSE- 6/25/07-GE
DENNIS FERRER

He has reworked and defined classic records for everyone from Blaze (providing the key mix on the anthemic 'Most Precious Love' a UK top 20 hit) to Martin Solveig, Copyright and Reel People. He is also considered a leading force in the whole "urban house" movement. "Touch The Sky" features the vocals of Mia Tuttavilla and features a deep soulful urban house vibe. This package also contians two new mixes of the absolutely massive 'Church Lady', Dennis' own dub and the Rocco Late Night Mix.(DFTD156)HOUSE- 6/25/07-UK
DENNIS FERRER

Yass gets to grips with Ferrer's "Touched The Sky" adding a dope Dj Deep meets Franck Roger vibe on his first remix, adding slick percussion, deep tribal beats, cool new pushing keys and perfect use of the original vocal.

COBBLESTONE JAZZ
LIME IN DA COCONUT (WAGON REPAIR) 12 - 105065
2 tracker here from Cobblestone Jazz, which is supposed to be a precursor to the LP coming out later this summer. Mathew Jonson and his crew never dissapoint with this project. Last years "Dump Truck" and "India In Me" still get lots of re-orders from us, as well as tons of play in the clubs. These 2 cuts are the more housey side, jackin and jumpin. Certainly expected to be part of the soundtrack of the summer for guys like Ricardo Villalobos, Josh Wink, or Luciano.(WAG029)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/25/07-GE
JAPE

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 WHIP
DIVEBOMB *CRYSTAL CASTLES* (KITSUNE) 12 - 104981
NME described "Divebomb" as the greatest song Daft Punk never made, and we'd have to agree. This is some epic energetic dancefloor gear that has hooky acidic synths and melodies that will stick in your head the instant you hear them. Crystal Castles provide the remix providing an equally epic more electro / italo disco flaired rub that has Simian Mobile Disco written all over it.(KITSUNE52)HOUSE- 6/25/07-FR

JOHN DAHLBACK
EVERYWHERE *LTD* (JOIA) 12 - 105027
Extremely limited release on Joia from the one & only John Dahlback!! 'Everywhere' is a male vocal-driven electronic house anthem that was heavily tested at this year's WMC to overwhelmingly positive acclaim.

John and cousin Jesper then provide a mighty Hugg & Pepp remix that turns the original into a wild jackin' affair that no soundsystem will be safe from. Finally France's Sebastian Leger twists the original even further toward the dark side with a warped future disco version that will blow your mind.(PICK025P)ELECTRO HOUSE- 6/25/07-GE

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
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

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
MISS KITTIN & THE HACKER

On the flip Mazi dons his Audio Soul Project guise and unleashes an equally jacking dirty house bomb of a mix. Proper dirty jacking house business here all around!(BRLTD02)HOUSE- 6/25/07-FR
BEN WIJAY
AYRE TIME (PHREAKIN) 12 - 104931
You might better recall Ben Wijay as Just Muzik and his release a few years back on Inland Knights Drop Music imprint. Here for his second release on Phreakin, Ben drops three tracks of chunky dancefloor funk. 'Ayre Time' is disco tinged barnstormer with an intense breakdown and a Black Science Orchestra meets Tom Middleton feel. 'Sleepwalking' delves deeper into the misty area between house and techno. With its seductive bassline, chugging drum arrangement and undulating chords it sits comfortably between Motorbass and Matthew Johnson. 'Osmosis' is a collaboration with Schmoov's Andre Bonsor. After two days of kamikaze clubbing they sat on a cold English morning, bleary eyed at their keyboards. Energy was low, but the creative juices were haemorrhaging. As the sleep fairy drew ever closer they captured the moment with this monged out after hours slow jam that oozes with sauntering soul.(PHR002T)HOUSE- 6/25/07-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
ALTAR FT JEANIE TRACY

Ida Engberg is the freshest member of the Pickadoll family and 'Disco Volante' is a super freakin' debut release! Grinding the edge between bullet-proof electro house flavours and more melodic trancey elements, it's beautiful and jacking all at the same time. Rounding off this top package are remixes from Sebastien Leger and Hugg & Pepp aka John & Jesper Dahlback both of whom provide rocking psychedelic adventures.(LMFLF007)HOUSE- 6/25/07-BE
TEK BOX
EXPRESS *IDJUT BOYS* (GLASGOW UNDERGROUND) 12 - 104953

The Zones (Breastfed) provide the remix, another cosmic Italo ride perfect for fans of Serge Santiago.

AMPLIFIED ORCHESTRA
SATELLITES ARE SPINNING (AO) 12 - 105014
Big one for all the Italo and Cosmic disco heads!! 'Satellites Are Spinning' is an amazing disco odyssey that outs you in mind of Prins Thomas meets Patrick Cowley and Cerrone. The Cowley-like electric bassline rolls out over crisp drums and spaced-out keys as the Orchestra takes you on an epic disco voyage!! 'U Can't Help But Dance' is a full-on disco workout, right down to the 70's inspired female vocal snippets, funk bass guitar and pumping electro grooves. Finally 'Zweap' takes a page out of George Clinton's handbook with its downlow gutter-funk bassline and vintage synth riffs- so damn funky!!(AO3)ELECTRO DISCO- 6/25/07-NL
AMPLIFIED ORCHESTRA
MOON VOYAGE (AO) 12 - 105015
2nd release from Amplfied Orchestra this week as they take you on another non-stop Italo/space disco journey, one which we dont think you'll ever want to return from!! 'Moon Voyage' is based on a super-obscure disco-funk track, dripping with rolling bassline funk, crisp beats and a unique whistle-like synth lead. Wigged-out disco at its finest!! 'Asteroid' then kicks into a higher gear with its jackin' Chicago influenced beats, ultra warm bass and key stabs cut loose on this sensual, laidback groover. Finally 'Lets Have A Ball' comes like a cross between The Whispers and Chas Jankel, nasty!!!(AO2)ELECTRO DISCO- 6/25/07-NL
ROBERT BABICZ
LOSING MEMORIES (SYSTEMATIC) 12 - 105035
3 more tracks from Rob Acid's 'A Cheerful Temper' album!! 'Loosing Memories' is a warm dub house stomper that combines the fuzzy analague warmth of a Plastic City release with the abstract cuts, clicks and glitch patterns you'd expect from Mr Babicz. 'Milo's Groove' is even hotter, a pumping heads-down house track with rolling sub bass and piercing sounds. The 3rd track 'Warsaw' is no slouch either. This one is rocks a liquified bassline, gentle tones and unique squelchy synth riffs over a trademark jacked 4/4.(SYST083)TECH HOUSE- 6/25/07-GE
KING AMIR
SAMIRS THEME *ERICK E/TIM LE* (TIGER) 12 - 105040
Could the Tiger label come any more correct than this? King Amir's 'Samirs Theme' sports a bhangra-style synth lead that is in your face from the get-go, so catchy like something you'd expect to hear on the radio. With beats to make the girlies jack and those wild synths doing their thing expect instant mayhem when this tune drops! The big mix here comes courtesy of Erick E who really blows out the a-side, aided & abetted by remixers Sidney Samson and Tim Le El.(TIGER39)ELECTRO HOUSE- 6/25/07-GE
KIKIORIX
PLASTIC HOUSE *PHONIQUE* (LADIES AND GENTLEMEN) 12 - 105058
Housy stuff here from Kikiorix. Nice chord stabs, Stiff percussion and a soft vocal. On the flip, Phonique gets busy and freaks the original out a bit more, putting all the usual Phonique trademarks on it. Has a sort of Metro Area vibe about it that works really well. Definitely has potential to be a bigger one for this summer.(LG02)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/25/07-GE
CYRO
SCORE A MILLION (LITTLE MOUNTAIN) 12 - 105075
Cyro is a nu breed producer duo recently discovered by Sander Kleinenberg and signed here to his LMR imprint.

SANDY VEE
IN CONTROL / LESS IS MORE (PACHA BLACK) 12 - 104751
Sandy Vee has been quiet for some time but returns with a vengence on Pacha Black. "In Control" is a rugged electro tinged track with hard edged beats, strong synth riffs, funky guitar licks and some great "moments" on the floor. "Less Is More" on the flip is a straight up electro house rocker with a killer electro synth hook, more stomping beats and great sound design that keeps this one funky from beginning to end.(PN005)HOUSE- 6/25/07-FR

The Fenou label has but together another stellar split 10" together for us. This time, they got Mos' Ferry main man, Dapayk on one side, and newcomer Dredl Kibosh takes the flip. Dapayks is a lush and minimal house tune with soft kyoto-esque sounds and sweeps throughout. On the flip, Dredl gives us something truly exciting. Starts off as a softer minimal house tune, but after a couple minutes a broken beat comes in turning it into a more intense party bomb! Fans of what has been coming from the Real Soon label, or the Rush Hour/Aardvark stuff, should take note.(FENOU04)MINIMAL HOUSE- 6/25/07-GE
THE DOSE
IM YOUR DOOR (FUMIKILLA) 12 - 105053

Coloned Red has penned the vocals for many a deep soulful house hit and here provides the dopeness on "Take My Love".

THE HACKER
SPACE TRAVEL *GINO S/SNAKE* (NOTORIOUS ELEKTRO) 12 - 104842
The legendary Hacker comes to Notorious Elektro with an absolute kicker of a release that brings some stunning grooves to the electro techno floors out there. 'Space Travel' works a funky surging bassline, crashes, filtered synths and Kraftwerkian keyboard bleeps with retro 80's drum fills. THe Gino S & Snake remix reworks the synths ala Depeche Mode 'Behind The Wheel', one for the more minimal floors!(NOTO011)ELECTRO HOUSE- 6/18/07-GE
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

Raphael Ripperton and Mirko Loko aka Lazy Fat People rip it up one last time with the awesome 'Low Profile' that comes on the heels of the still massive 'Pixelgirl' on Planet E.

ALEXANDER MAIER
TOM (ROBOTRONIC) 12 - 104934
Alexander Maier (Buzzin Fly) delivers a beautiful and quite hypnotic one here, "Tom". It's a perfect example of deep melodic electronic soul with hauntingly gorgeous trancey melodies, soul infused bass and deep beats. Alexander provides another mix that is a bit tougher with dark and dirty bass, and nice atmospheric build ups. Ben Watt, Carl Craig and Justin Martin are all over this one.(ROBOTRON09)HOUSE- 6/25/07-FR

BUGBITE *MARCIN CZUBALA* (LEFTOUT) 12 - 104924
We've been leaving most of the minimal gear alone lately but couldn't get past this clever rump shaker from Reagen for the sophomore outing on the Leftout imprint. The original mix has a wicked Roman Flugel-esque quality about it with subtle melodies and beats woven together creating a quite funky production. Mobilee's Marcin Czubala provides the remix, manipulating the original melodies and twisting them into a stomping party vibed minimal bomb.(LEFTOUT002)TECHNO- 6/25/07-FR

On the A-side, Rafael Garnica gives us a deeper and moody side of minimal techno thats primed and ready for the late (or early) hours.

PLAN K
THUNDER (KINDISCH) 12 - 105055
The good folks at Get Physical started this sublabel a while back probably to handle to overflow of great demos they have been getting sent since the sucess of the label has been has been huge! This way, they can take the newcomers on and give them their start. This time, it's Plan K, who have given us a solid 4 tracker with broken beat party jams, as well as a darker gritty techno-ish track.

OLIVER KOLETZKI
GET WASTED *DP* (STIL VOR TALENT) DP - 105063
Oliver Koletzki is known for going all over the place in his productions. So, it makes perfect sense that this full length showcases exactly that! If you had to narrow all the cuts down to one style, it would be strong tech-house with rougher edges ala Green Velvet, but not so over the top the whole time. Quite the solid release here. Lots of gems to choose from....(SVT014LP)TECHNO- 6/25/07-GE
