PRZTZ
NUTDISCO *DUCKENFIELD* (DOTBLEEP) 12 -
106462
Prztz returns with a bomb for the
Dotbleep imprint taking just a touch of that wicked old school Classic /
Chicago house sound and taking it to the next level with a furious funked out
bassline, killer vocal part that is one part 3rd Face "Canto Della
Liberta" and one part pure Derrick Carter. SICK Then we have 2 remixes
from one of our all time favorite producers, Swag's Chris Duckenfield who
injects more nasty underground funk on both his mixes. An accapella is included
as well.(DBR019)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK
FRANCK ROGER
CIRCLES (EARTHRUMENTAL) 12 - 106419
The French deep house master, Franck
Roger continues the string of outstanding releases on his Earthrumental seires
with this double A sided bomb. "Circles" has a deep techy and soulful
edge that fans of Karizma, Ferrer and Chandler will undoubtedly fawn over. "The Hills" on
the flip is another rocking deep instrumental with hypnotic key grooves, trippy
effects and that soulful edge that Franck does so well. This tune is getting
serious attention from Henrik Schwarz, Ame and Dixon.(EM06)HOUSE- 9/10/07-FR
PRYDA
MURANYI (PRYDA) 12 - 106425
Eric Prydz's position as on of the
consistently hottest producers in dance music seems to be getting cemented
further and further by his regular stream of fat releases. This new 2 tracker
on his now legendary Pryda imprint is simply devistating. The title cut
"Muranyi" is a constant building bomb that teases and teases with
slick pads and synths before the monstrous drums finally drop and the track
takes on a massive hypnotic and percussive vibe with a killer bassline and
super catchy riffs. The flip side has a similar feel to the '123' track with
its deep trancey intro before dropping into a catchy, funky club groove that is
so infectious its scary. Another killer, another landmark release - say no
more.(PRYDA009)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK
DJ GREGORY
YOU ARE MY FRIEND (BACK TO FUNDAMENTAL)
12 - 106337
The Back To Fundamental imprint is a
new project that takes some of France's heaviest hitting house producers and has them
express their version of early house music, incorporating their influences on
thier current production. First up in the series is Dj Gregory, a man who's
been wowing us with inescapable and timeless tunes for the past five years.
"You Are My Friend" has a wicked hands in the air feel thanks to some
great uplifting synth riffs and pads along with some great retro stab grooves
all backed by Gregory's deep driving beats and some old school bass. When the
vocal finally drops it's all Pete Heller "Big Love" and the track
really takes off.(SSOHB2F01)HOUSE- 9/10/07-FR

An upfront 12" sampler featuring
two classic house tracks, as featured on Louie Vega's forthcoming 'Back In The
Box' compilation. On the A side you'll find the Todd Terry classic, "Hear
The Music", a much sought after gem. On the flip you'll find one of my
personal faves, Black Science Orchestra's "Where Were You", a true
deep & uplifting disco house classic.(BITB02SA)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK
BRETT JOHNSON
ORAM DAZE (PHREAKIN) 12 - 106423
Brett Johnson's production skills are
on full display on all four of the deep house gems on this fabulous ep. The ep
kicks off with 'Paranoia' an upbeat and super smooth melodic number with
soulful vocal stabs and bumping beats. 'Feelings' follows suit and is a piano
led chunky jazz fuelled piece, also very soulful and bumpin. The flip features
'Creeper' a slowly evolving tune that is tripped out as hell with touches of
futuristic disco and haunting synth arpeggios. 'Jitter' rounds off this
fantastic ep with a vibe that fits nicely inot Brett's work on Aesoteric or
Classic, pure Chi-town house funk.(PHR003T)HOUSE- 9/10/07-FR

with his unique brand of left coast with the ultra deep and hip 'Nightowl'.

deep house lover's dream with sweet melodies, dope percussion, fat analog bass
and pushing keys. Buzzin Fly regulars Manoo & Francois A provide the remix,
an even deeper more dubbed up rub which should please fans of the Rhythm &

IDEALISTIC *WHOMADEHO/HYSTEREO
(KITSUNE) 12 - 106418
Digitalism return with a new version
of 'Idealistic', one of the many stand out tunes from the 'Idealism' full
length. Digitalism themselves provide a rocking mix which extends the beats and
jack up the lo fi jagged guitars. Gomma's Whomadewho completely replay and
re-interpret the track giving it an awesome punk/funk/disco vibe that sits
somewhere between LCD Soundsystem and and !!!. Soma's Hystereo inject raucous
edgy distortion into the sauce really kicking this one up a notch. This mix is
HUGE with the Ed Bangers crew right now. A Trak rounds off the package nicely
with a mix that starts off a bit deeper before getting well into the dirty
party vibe.(KITSUNE58)HOUSE- 9/10/07-FR

KEMISTRY EP (SOUL HEAVEN) 12 - 106460
Soul Heaven returns with this fabulous
three tracker from Shack Music's Soy Mustafa & Alex Celler aka Kemistry.
"The Emperor's Clothes" kicks off the festivities in fine fashion and
will undoubtedly appeal to fans of Freerange / Buzzin Fly with warm pushing
stabs, deep dubby effects, funky percussion and a smooth soulful pushing deep
house groove. "Circe 320" is up next and has a tougher syncopated
drum groove and Lil Louis styled key riffs and strings, very "French
Kiss" styled and funky. Rounding off the ep is "House Theme",
the deepest of the three, a retro Chicago meets NYC house number currently getting major props
from Kerri Chandler.(SHR015)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK

KINDA NEW *DIRTY SOUTH* (DATA) 12 -
106382
Originally released on Playhouse
Records, the hefty Tiefschwarz Dub started as an underground anthem and grew
into the track that defines what we now term as "Electro house".

it into a gritty electro monster that brings it bang up to date also includes
Tiefscwarz vocal mix and Simmonds & Christopher remix for the more
commercial floors.(DATA154T)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK

ATOMS *HENRIK SCHWARZ* (GLOBAL
UNDERGROUND) 12 - 106409
Taken from last year's 'Nostalgia For
Hire', Dark Globe's collaboration with Boy George gets a brilliant reworking
from Henrik Schwarz. As expected, Henrik's mix is deep, techy and beautifully
melodic with great syncopated drum rhythms and gorgeous chords. SORRY THIS WAS
SUPPOSED TO COME IN LAST WEEK HOPEFULLY THE RIGHT ONE WILL ARRIVE THIS

UNDERGROUND) 12 - 106189
Fresh from his genre smashing 'Mexico City' mix
CD, Adam Freeland returns with his brand new single for Global Underground. In
its original form "Silverlake Pills" is an aggressive, edgy house
track loaded with breaky elements and a trunkful of funk. In this form it was
featured on his CD. Gui Boratto's remix has been licensed to John Digweed's

dancefloor attitude. Smash TV provide a remix on this wicked package as

HARD FI
SUBURBAN KNIGHT *ANGELLO & ING

RAUDIVE *OLIVER HO*
ZEITGEIST EP *STEVE BUG* (POKER FLAT)
12 - 106374
Oliver Ho comes over to the Poker Flat
label for a STELLAR slab of mental madness! On the deeper side, this one has
all the proper trimmings to really do someones head in, and yet it's deep and
dark too! Think Josh Wink meets Audion in a housey setting and you're there,
friends. Also contains a Steve Bug remix thats sure to please those who are
into his sounds. In closing, the cut Steve Bug remixed in it's original form.
Very bleepy and VERY trippy!(PFR87)TECH HOUSE- 9/04/07-GE
ILIJA RUDMAN

Ilija Rudman follows up his
outstanding release for Rong music with this second offering on the Love Is War
Music. This package comes correct with the spaced out futuristic stylings of
Ilija's original mix as well as remixes from LSB and Greg Wilson. Ilija's mix
features brilliant Metro Area styled synth riffs and bass with beautiful
uplifting pads and cool bits of italo arpeggios. Greg Wilson's mix borrows some
great 80's breaks and samples on his mix, a wicked disco boogie electro
workout. LSB rounds off the package with a techier mix perfectly completing
this outstanding record.(LIWM002)HOUSE- 9/10/07-BE
GREGOR SALTO
MAS QUE NADA *ERICKE* (SLIP N SLIDE)
12 - 106416
Gregor Salto takes on the classic
latin jam originally penned by Sergio Mendes and laces it with a sweet deep
balearic house vibe perfect for these last days of summer, on the beach,
outdoors drinking a margarita. His mix features great batucada rhythms, deep
melodies and that unmissable vocal hook. ErickE picks up the energy in the
beats department and adds a sweet touch of deep effects. Stealth's Jesse Garcia
jacks things up to a feverpitch on his mix with deep jacking beats and a more
primetime dancefloor appeal. His mix has been getting major run from Roger
Sanchez.(SLIP236)HOUSE- 9/10/07-FR
PAULO MOJO
JMJ *WALLY LOPEZ* (OOSH) 12 - 106426
Paolo Mojo’s OOSH imprint blasts back
onto the circuit with the monstrous Ibiza hit 'JMJ'. Featuring the lush original & a techier
mix from Wally Lopez. Wally's mix is really doing it for us (along with Nick
Warren, Dubfire and Eric Prydz all of whom have been banging it). It features a
rocking chunky bottom end, driving beats, sustained sounds and nicely building
parts that explode with dancefloor energy.(OOSH002)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK
MARKUS ENOCHSON
CPT BEARD (RAW FUSION) 12 - 106458
Stockholm based house producer Markus Enochson is currently hot
property on the house scene after some seriously hyped releases on Sonar
Kollektiv, Deeply Rooted and Still Music. Now Markus brings his brilliant brand
of deep house funk to Raw Fusion, and what a release! Markus combines the best
of deep house and techno elements on both cuts here reminiscent of Ame, Ferrer
styled material with deep strings, beautiful melodies and deep driving
beats.(RAF031)HOUSE- 9/10/07-FR
NIGHTCRAWLERS
PUSH THE FEELING *R SANCHEZ* (STEALTH)
12 - 106463
Roger Sanchez puts his whimsical touch
on this classic anthem from the Nightcrawlers, bringing the track nicely up to
date while using all the catchy riffs and vocals from the original. Roger slams
new beats into the sauce along with some fresh new synth grooves creating a
massive club house bomb(STEALTH47)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK
PHONIQUE
GOOD IDEA *WEBSTER/SAUL* (DESSOUS) 12
- 106493
Nice spot of remixes here from
Phonique's latest full length on Dessous. And with House giants like Will Saul
or Charles Webster doing the dirty work, you know it's going to be solid for
lovers of house as well as tech house.(DES073)HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE

from Ida Corr who teamed up with Fedde Le Grand on "Let Me Think About
It". Mixes on this plate come from Micky Slim, Jason Herd, and Eddie
Thoneick.(DATA170P1)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK
MARK BROOM
NEW LIFE *DONACHA COSTELLO* (MINIMISE)
12 - 106541
When we saw the title, we were hoping
for a Mark Broom cover of "New Life" by Depeche Mode. Well, that's
not the case, but it makes up for that by being a huge bomb! A lil different
for Mark. Synthy, but not too much. Nice edits all around, dark piano used for
a bassline. All kinds of neat tricks, actually! But, on the flip, label bossman
Donacha Costello brings it out the best he has in quite some time! Deep and
bleepy in a Mika Vanio/Sleeparchive sort of way, while still maintaining
elements from the original.(MINIMISE33)MINIMAL TECHNO- 9/10/07-GE
DOMU PR PETE SIMPSON
WONT GIVE UP *THE REALM* (PAPA) 12 -
106327
Taken from the forthcoming album 'Look
A Little Further', "Wont Give Up" is a funked up bongo fuelled deep
house gem with a gorgeous vocal coming from singer Pete Simpson. The
musicianship on the original mix is brilliant with jazz fuelled key licks, live
warm bass, warm chords and some inspirational bongo playing. The Realm provides
two remixes on this plate, an instrumental and a dub, both laid back breezy
summery house gems currently getting props from Joey Negro, Jon Cutler and Phil
Asher.(PAPA036)HOUSE- 9/06/07-UK

MICHA MOOR
SPACE *KLAAS* (ROYAL FLUSH SPECIAL) 12
- 106420
Micha Moor takes the same vocal sample
that Prodigy used for "Out Of Space" and laces it into a hard hitting
Benassi styled stormer with raunchy bass, bleepy electro synths and pummeling
beats. Klaas turns in to equally massive remixes perfect for those more jumping
sets of yours.(RFSP045)HOUSE- 9/10/07-FR
GUILLAUME & THE COUTU
DUMONTS
PARISIO 91.90.77 (OSLO) 12
- 106446
Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts'
last release on the Hartchef Discos was a huge tune with a wide variety of top
dj's including Luciano, Ame and Christian Prommer to name a few. Not to take
away from the other two very good tracks on this ep, but 'Mederico' is simply
an irresistable tune with clever and quite catchy glass melodies, trippy pads,
soulful and funky percussion, bleepy synth action and slick shuffling beats.
It's like an afro party meets a great Cadenza record, like Osunlade and
Villalobos doing a track together.(OSLO003)HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE
LUKE MONTY & TASHO
PARANOID *TODD BODINE* (MOTHERSHIP) 12
- 106499
Claude Von Stroke's Mothership Label
is off to quite a good start! First was the Italoboyz with "Viktor
Cassanova" and now this fine release from Monty Luke & Tasho.
"Paranoid" is a jackin acid romp thats bouncy and playful with a
vocal of someone saying "I think I'm parano-o-o-oid". On the flip,
Todd Bodine goes nuts on the original making it even more jackin and
tweaky.(MSHIP002)HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE
JOHN TEJADA /CABANNE
7TH CITY CLASSICS VOL 2 (SEVENTH CITY) 12
- 106503
The second installment of the 7th City
classics series of re-releases on Dan Bell's own imprint. This time around,
John Tejada's "Timebomb" gets the A-side. This one is classic Tejada,
folks! Deep and Detroity with a hint of disco flavor, but not much. It's jackin
and primed for a party. On the flip, Cabanne's "Can't Stand". A
stripped down and dry example of pre-minimal hype tech house. When this came
out, there wasn't a huge demand for Minimal, which is why it's such a welcome
re-release.(SCD023)TECH HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE
U CANT DO IT
NO MEM BRAIN (U CANT DO IT) 12 -
106505
Super secret one-sided deep cut on the

tracks.(UCDI001)TECH HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE
HOXTON WHORES
FAT MOMENT (HOXTON WHORES) 12 - 106509
The Whores unleash another original
production, dirty tribal funked up house for those darker dancefloors. 'Fat
Moment' has a Murk meets Beat Freak vibe drenched in druggy effects, driving
beats and quirky synth riffs.(HW032)HOUSE- 9/10/07-UK
DUOTEQUE/EYERER/DELON&DELCAN
BOXER 50.2 (BOXER SPORT) 12 - 106535
Part 2 of 2 for the Boxer 50th release
comp. This time around, 4 cuts of killer with zero filler. Contains original
cuts by Martin Eyerer and Delon & Delcan. Also included is a Tekel remix of
Matzak's "Burglar" from Boxer #10, and that KILLER Duoteque track
"Logo" that came out as a limited 1 sided release from boxer 49.5.
Solid package!(BOXER50.2)TECH HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE
MODESELEKTOR *2000 AND 1 RMX*
DARK SIDE OF THE SUN (BPITCH CONTROL)
12 - 106536
Modeselektor returns for a preview of
the new record for Bpitch. "Dark Side of the Sun" is a hip-hopish cut
with heavy damn near grime rhythms and a killer vocal. The main reason to buy
it though, is the 2000 and 1 remix. Dark and Detroity with shimmering FX work
and thick drum beats.(BPITCH157)TECH HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE
BUTANE / SWEET N CANDY
VISIONQUEST RMXS (DUMB UNIT) 12 -
106539
Collection of 4 remixes here of Butane
& Sweet n Candy originals. All 4 were done by the trio of Ryan Crosson,
Seth Troxler and Lee Curtiss under the guise Visionquest. Well, 3 of the tracks
anyhow. 1 was done by Lee Curtiss on his own. All of them are sonicly
exceptional. Some darker than others, but all quite twisted in that Ricardo
Villalobos weirdo productuions sort of way. Lee's mix on his own is a bit
darker and heavier than the rest. Definitely reccomended!(DU039)MINIMAL TECHNO-
9/10/07-GE
LUCIO AQUILINA
FEELING PLASTIK (TRAPEZ) 12 - 106542
BOMB ALERT!!!! "FEELING
PLASTIK" is a dark rumbler with tons of playful quirky sounds with lots of
reverberation. Made for remeniscing of the old times of dark warehouses and
loud soundsystems. On the flip, things get more bouncy and even more playful in
that DIRTYBIRD sort of way. HIGHLY recommended!(TRAPEZ079)TECH HOUSE-
9/10/07-GE
KING & ROCK
WICKED *DJ FALK* (TIGER) 12 - 106172
King & Rock have the unenviable
task of following up Ericke's club smasher "Boogie Down" which also
saw some help from Fedde Le Grand. The duo more than hold their own with
"Wicked", a big club house anthem backed by a catchy vocal hook,
pulsating key changing bass, great building moments and pummeling dancefloor
beats, an old school key stab interlude adds a great note of nostalgia on the
original mix. Spinnin's Dj Falk turns in a masterfully crafted remix that takes
the track super deep into late night locked on subterranean
dancefloors.(TIGER43)ELECTRO HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE
PUZIQUE
DONT GO (BOYS NOIZE) 12 - 106360
Puzique return to Boyz Noize for an
absolute ROCKER of an EP. The lead off cut sounds like somewhat of a collab
between Discovery era Daft Punk meets Boys Noize. A feel good hit for the
summer, if you will. After that is an ULTRA dirty rocker with the drums
sounding straight from Chicago in the early 90's. The closer is more of a deeper cut
with the same methods of distortion, but with a darker feel.(BNR015)ELECTRO
HOUSE- 9/04/07-GE
LEIF
CUSTOMER SERVICE *PHEEK* (TRIMSOUND)
12 - 105532
Moon Harbour's Leif gets a wicked
remix of his 'Customer Services' tune from minimal techno genius Pheek here.
Pheek's mix is a bass-fueled micro workout driven by sparse yet funky drum
programming, Basic Channel-esque atmospheric sounds and truly amazing edits and
production.(TRIM006)MINIMAL HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE

CATZ N DOGZ *3 CHANNELS*
ARMADILLO EP (LEENA) 12 - 106368
Duck low! This one is coming STRAIGHT
for your head! The boys from 3 Channels deliever one of the sickest cuts of the
year to the Mobilee sublabel Leena. The A-side is a shimmering yet deep
Detroitish sort of cut with warm pads and chord stabs all around. But, it is
the B-side which is the total minimal MONSTER! Starts off with a simple groove
with a really catchy sequence of edity things and just keeps growing til you
dont even know whats happening anymore! It's like a hurricane of sound getting
more and more and MORE intense through the whole thing! Think of the Jonas Kopp
piece on the newest Spectral comp, but make it less on the hard/angry side and
there you have it. Already getting mad support from Shinedoe, Chris
Duckenfield, Karotte, and Laurant Garnier. EXCEPTIONAL release! Don't
sleep!(LEENA002)TECH HOUSE- 9/04/07-GE

Ulysses has been quietly producing some gems over the years for the likes of
Guidance, My Best Friend, Plant Music (As Neurotic Drum Band with John Selway)
and his very own Scatalogics imprint. Here for the Suicide label, Ulysses drops
a quirky vocal led minimal bomb that would sit nicely next to gear on the

Jeff Bennett has over 90 releases
under his belt including numerous projects for labels such as Poker Flat or Plastic City. 'Gamma

skool Detroit fundaments blended with the elements of modern
European minimal sounds. All three cuts here feature rough but warm melodies,
chunky sparse beats and perfectly programmed grooves that keep asses shaking
from beginning to end.(JLY007)HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE

MORNIN TIDE *DEEPCHILD/SIMON F (CURL)
12 - 106435
Simon Flowers mix of "Mornin
Tide" appears first on this record and it's no mistake, his mix is already
a firm fave of Anja Schneider, Ben Watt and Steve Bug and is a perfect blend of
techno, Chicago house, minimal and jazz. It is the perfect transition from say
Perlon to Poker Flat and has soul, which is far to uncommon in today's crunchy
minimal numbers. Future Classic's Deepchild turns in a mix that fuses deep techno
kicks and dubby bleeps making it a perfect warm up tune while the original is a
stunning melodic number that also is a perfect mixture of deep techno and jazz
with soul.(CURL007)HOUSE- 9/10/07-GE

from Robbie Rivera which has been causing a stir in the clubs this

version that takes the song in a whole new direction with an added haunting
keyboard line, echoing vocal treatment and some synth solos that totally change

It would be cool if the Terminator X
behind these slamming two R&B house boots was the DJ from Public Enemy, but
knowingthe mysterious cats from the Guess Who? Label that's probably not the
case. Either way, you've got another must-have Guess Who release - two thick
tracks of thumping bass and crackling, jacking house grooves. The A-side tweaks
Blackstreet'sclassic "Fix" for a hot prime time mover. On the flip
the Black Eyed Peas' "Boogie That Be" gets reworked nicely with a
hot, bottom-heavy sexy houser; far better than any "official" Black
Eyed Peas remixes, this one. Serious party cuts that will please event the

HAVE A GOOD TIME *SINDEN* (PASSENGER)
12 - 105492
Have A Good Time is Aquasky's first
single in over a year and sees them taking up in the sunny state of Florida
teaming up with local booty bass legend Acafool. Acafool drops a wicked vocal
performance that has a rugged dirty south appeal ala Ludacris over a bumping Miami bass
production that rocks. The Count Of Monte Cristal and Sinden get large on the
flip with a mix that adds a bit of wobbly fidget action mixed up with a dope
speed garage bassline.(PASA034)HOUSE- 9/06/07-UK
HYPER
NO ROCKSTARS (KILOWATT) 12 - 106430
More aggressive breakbeat action from
the inimitable Hyper. "No Rockstars" features dirty guitar hooks

production.(KWTT032)BREAKBEAT- 9/10/07-UK

'Trouble' by name, trouble by nature,
Soul Of Man are back wreaking havok with this rolling slab of breakbeat madness
featuring the inimitable Ragga Twins belting out the rude boy lyrics. Their
original mix is a hard hitting number with incessant over the top stabs, a
rolling nasty bassline, trippy effects, booming beats and the rough and rugged
vocals of the Ragga Twins. Deepcut's mix adds a techier vibe with edgy synth
action, building beats and all of the rough and rugged energy of the
original.(FLR080)BREAKBEAT- 9/10/07-UK
BRANCACCIO & AISHER
FREAK AROUND *KOMA & BONES* (BURRITO)
12 - 106431
Another surprise from the Burrito
kitchen, with a tasty main course served up from Brancaccio & Aisher
(Bedrock/Credence/Renaissance). This is not exactly what you'd expect from
either Burrito or Brancaccio & Aisher but it's quite the funky number
taking 80's funk keys, a quirky vocal and lacing them into a funky little
breaky LCD Soundsystem meets the Scissor Sisters styled number. On the flip
Koma & Bones tear the track apart adding an unstoppable electro meets
breaks vibe that is extra large.(BURR018)BREAKBEAT- 9/10/07-UK

DIGITAL BASE
WHITE LINE (IBREAKS) 12 - 106465
Last Digital Base track on Ibreaks was
a monster and came along with a spanking remix from General Midi. Here Digital
Base goes it alone on two edgy rocking breaks tunes starting with an ode to
their favorite Columbian jungle juice, "White Line". This is a huge
building breakbeat bomb with dirty beats, equally filthy synths, acid licks and
grungy bass. "Miriam" is next up and is a similarly styled funking
breakbeat bomb.(IBREAKS014)BREAKBEAT- 9/10/07-UK

synth action and pure peak time energy. You have to hear the way Speculum fucks
with each and every sound on this tune twisting it along with your mind folks!
