NATURAL RHYTHM
MUMBLE MOUTH
*STYLE OF EYE* (DOTBLEEP) 12 - 107575
Style of Eye provide two devistating mixes of Natural Rhythm's
monster 'Mumble Mouth'. The original mix was and
continues to be a HUGE track for Heather, Derrick Carter, Farina and Brett
Johnson. The first new mix, 'Less Talk Mix' is pure jack with a mumbled vocal
and wearing the trademark Style Of Eye thumping groove. The bassline hits with
great force and the bleeps and bleeps are bleeping nasty. The 'Lets Talk' mix
takes it to another level with more use of the original weirdo vocal cutting in
and out, the track takes a mind of its own with weird and wonderful noises
setting the tracks tempo.(DBR020)HOUSE-11/12/07-UK
ROLLING STONES
START ME UP *SFB*
(WHITE) 12 - 107136
We're surprised that no one did this sooner. Very big and funky
house retooling of the Stones classic using just a touch of the original vocals
and that unmissable guitar
hook.(12STONED01)HOUSE-11/12/07-UK
JT DONALDSON VS EDDIE LEADER
THE TACKLE TRUCK

ETIENNE JAUMET
REPEAT AGAIN
AFTER *AME* (VERSATILE) 12 - 107839
BRACE YOURSELVES! This one is a fucking MONSTER! Ame do it again
for one of their strongest pieces since
"Rej". This one is based around a deep rolling bassline, and some
nice percussion work to get things moving. Then, slowly the horns come in.
Saxophones, tombones, french hors and god only knows what else... all building
and building and building to the point where you just HAVE to scream! We heard
it in action late in the summer season when Dixon came through to play in our beloved L.I.C. for an outdoor
party and it was all we could talk about the whole week! Make no mistake, this
is one of if not THE best record of the week. Maybe even the
month!(VER054)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
SATINE / NIRVANA
CORRUPTED
*JUSTICE* (WHITE) 12 - 107887
Someone went dumpster diving for DAT's & CDR's and found this
incredible and unreleased Justice mix of Satine's
"Corrupted". You know the score when it comes to Justice, aggressive,
noisy funky ass shaking business with relentless energy, raucous beats and
grooves. On the flip you'll find a Patrick Alavi remix of Nirvana's "Smells
Like Teen Spirit" which is a tough and rugged electro
makeover.(SATINE001)NU RAVE-11/12/07-UK
DEADSET
TICK TOCK *JESSE
ROSE* (FRONT ROOM) 12 - 107834
The Deadset stuff has been blowing us away lately. So groovy and
fun that whenever any of their cuts are on, its hard
not to bounce along, and even sometimes scream! Tick Tock is one of those
choons. Bouncy and playful, but strangely hypnotic. Jesse Rose gives the
original the flare it was deserving of for this stellar outing on the Front
Room label.(FRM019)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
BOB SINCLAR FT STEVE EDWARDS

great live bass and party rocking beats. Les Petits Pilous as with the Riot In

licks and off the wall interludes.(TURBO045)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE

WOAH boy, Trentemoller is up to his old
tricks again here on his remix of Tomboy's "Flamingo", a monstrous
mix that tilts in the Dirtybird / Dubsisded direction with mass low end
rumbling action and nicely edited and bleepy grooves. Very Herve / Switch meets
Claude Vonstroke!(GOMMA097)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
AUDIOFLY X
BLINK (GET
PHYSICAL) 12 - 107673
Get Physical has been one of the most consistent imprints around,
always finding the cream of the crop of cuts. Here Audiofly X return with a
double A sided ep of pure deep house delight. The title
cut 'Blink' has a sophisticated sound that starts off with a slow drum groove
before the urgent sounding synth riffs and effects find their way into the mix
to pick up the energy. Very cool. 'Below The Surface' will please fans of the
recent In Loving Memory series, minimal dubby deep house
business.(GPM078)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
BIG FACE
I WANNA BE A
STYLE CRUSADER (KITSUNE) 12 - 107808

Klaxons with this debut release on the Kitsune imprint.
'I Wanna Be A Style Crusader' is a must for fans of Justice etc and is a
rocking slab of funky dirty, fun funky rock indie dance gear with clever
vocals, gritty guitar hooks and raucous noisy synths. David E Sugar provides a
mix for the bearded disco / no wave fans out there ala Rong Music, Brennan
Green & Prins Thomas. DatA's mix is more of a nu rave romp for the
Sebastian fans out there.(KITSUNE61)HOUSE-11/12/07-FR

*PEARSON* (BUZZIN FLY) 12 - 107572
As a precursor to their artist album due out in 2008 on Buzzin
Fly, Mlle Caro & Frank Garcia deliver this beautiful taster. 'Always You'
is a deep brooding vocal track with emotional melodies, a melancholic vocal and sweet beats. Ewan Pearson provides the remix, kicking up
the beats a touch and adding a lovely hypnotic edge similar to Sonar Kollektiv
/ Innervisions styled gear. 'Lost' which appeared exclusively as a a stand out
track on Ben Watt's 'Buzzin Fly Vol 4' mix cd is also included on this fabulous
taster.(031BUZZ)HOUSE-11/12/07-UK

EURASIA
(SYSTEMATIC) 12 - 107679
Oh my god! What is this? Incredible but true, this is a wicked
collaboration between Mister Systematic Marc Romboy and
Brasilian Kompakt figure Gui Boratto. Both icons provide mixes of 'Eurasia' on this release, the
only problem we have with this record is which one to play first. We say buy
two copies and play them back to back!(SYST039)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
TOCADISCO
BLACK SERIES PT 2
(SUPERSTAR) 12 - 107687
'Morumbi' is a MASSIVE, deep and hypnotic tune sounding like a

Don't sleep on this!(SUPER4006)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
OLAV BASOSKI
NU GENERATION
OLDSCHOOL MUGGAS (ROOTZ) 12 - 107772
Basoski's 'Nu Generation' series continues with its third
offering, 'Oldschool Muggas'. As with the previous editions, Olav introduces
some spanking new talent and provides a killer track himself. Not surprisingly, Neil C's 'This Is The Way' sounds a
lot like an Olav production with huge dancefloor beats and much funky melody
and groove action. Next up is Jazzy Bronze with 'Evil You' a dope filtering
funky house number with hard edged pumping beats, edgy guitar/sunth action and
full on aggressive filtering and effects. Olav's tune 'On My Mind' is the
deepest of the three while still managing to provide a huge building over the
top moment that explodes with dancefloor energy.(RTZ027)HOUSE-11/12/07-NL
IMAGINATION
JUST AN ILLUSION
*LINDSTROM* (JUNO) 12 - 107857
Lindstrom demolishes this classic from Imagination here for
Juno's fourth classic re-issue. Slow, sensual and super sexy, his mix adds a
brilliantly deep italo touch perfect for the bearded
disco crew. He also provides a dub on this platter and the 1982 original also
is featured here.(JUNO4)HOUSE-11/12/07-UK
IMAGINATION
BURNIN UP
*DIMITRI FROM PARIS* (JUNO) 12 - 107858

well.(JUNO4R)HOUSE-11/12/07-UK

GET ILL (RISING TRAX) 12 - 107567
Chris Lake’s Rising Trax imprint returns with a double A sided
bomb from King Clip. Heavily supported by Morillo, Leger and Roger Sanchez all summer in Ibiza 'Get Ill' is a chunky and quite funky urban house meets
electro house gem with tough swinging beats, bleepy synth work, edgy layered
bass and a great infectious vocal that gets the party started. 'This Ain't Hip
Hop' on the flip has a jacking Freaks meets Jacob London vibe with tough
aggressive beats and bass, off the wall sounds / synths and another perfect
vocal hook on the hip house tip.(RISING005)ELECTRO HOUSE-11/12/07-UK

most established Finnish techno and house producers with releases on 20:20
Vision, Poker Flat, Mood Music and F Communications to

UNDERGROUND MINISTRIES
I SHALL NOT BE
MOVED *MEME* (SOULFURIC) 12 - 107806
Originally released on the now defunct US label Flatline Records,
'I Shall Not Be Moved' is a prime example of dancefloor oriented Gospel House
at its best. Featuring vocal legend Kenny Bobien with a truly inspiring performance, the track is set to make its mark once again
with a set of brand new mixes. Meme's Classic Vocal Mix 2007 is a fresh take,
which combines the original elements with uplifting new drum sounds and soaring
keyboards, making it a modern day classic. Also check out his Special Reprise,
a beautiful broken down delight and his Beatzzz if you're looking for a
percussion fuelled gem. Brian Tappert also provides a remix on this
platter.(SFR0034)HOUSE-11/12/07-FR
CHRIS CARRIER
COMMUNICATION
BREAKDOWN (CATWASH) 12 - 107827
Chris Carrier is back with another slammin outing for his own
Catwash imprint. The lead cut contains beats lifted straight off of the Paper
Records classic "The Book", which if you arent familiar with, you
should know that it rocks. Anyhow, rough beats combined
with little acidic stabs and FX bits here and there. Next up, a sleek early
night tech houser simple and to the point. And to close, a bass heavy cut on
the shifty side good for transistions into darker housey
things.(CATWASH012)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
PHONIQUE / SIMON FLOWER

LIMITED PICTURE DISC! Plant music returns with an essential
package on their 19th release. First this picture is quite a cool and unique looking picture disc, but lets get to the
music. Ed Bangers fans should not miss out on the TEPR & Yuksek 'Highspeed
On The Highway Remix', it's a noisy, raucous and lively mix that has been
getting run by Justice and Sebastian. The original mix is pretty cool as well
and sounds like a Daft Punk / Basement Jaxx hybrid. Kitsune's DJ Shinichi Osawa
also pitches in a mix on this awesome package.(SEED019)NU RAVE-11/12/07-GE

THE WHIP
SISTER SIAM *J
ROBERTSON* (SOUTHERN FRIED) 12 - 107769
Kitsune act The Whip returns to Southern
Fried for their second outing. 'Sister Siam' is a punky, raucous slice of rock
/ indie dance with a definite nod to the French Nu Rave sound featuring a slick
and super catchy vocal with synths to match and big dancefloor energy. Justin
Robertson provides the remix, a mix that fucks with the vocals nicely and
washes out the synths through some dirty effects while building energy nicely.
Please note this 12" is limited to a pressing of
1000!(ECB131)HOUSE-11/12/07-UK
NACHO MARCO
CRASH TEST (PACHA
BLUE) 12 - 107778
If you like Nacho Marco's recent Freerange release, you'll
completely dig this next deep electronic burner for the Pacha Blue imprint.

effects and dubbed up melodies.(PB007)HOUSE-11/12/07-FR

Laidback Luke is enjoying a huge
resurrgence with his productions popping up on loads of todays hottest
imprints. Here we're treated to an older title of his revamped for the 07 by
Rene Amesz and Don Diablo. Luke's own update is simply massive with a crowd
frenzy inducing vocal part, filthy synths and big stomping beats. Rene Amesz's
mix has breakier beats and has been a staple in Micky Slim and Chris Lake's sets. Don Diablo gets
wild on the editing giving the track a Mason meets Herve wild
feel.(MIXMA004)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE

Next up on the newly relaunched 4th Floor imprint are Wipe The

CLUSTER OF BLUE
SET UP MY LIFE
(GREEN LIGHT RECORDINGS) 12 - 107835
Heres a rock solid 3 tracker with something for everyone who
fancies their beats around 130. The A-side is a long detroit influenced cut with lots of freash and interesting sounds. Perfect for
late nights and early mornings. Followed by a nice atomospheric Electro cut
that should please most who fancy things a bit deeper. If youre not familiar
with the label, there was a Carl Flinlow released about 5 months ago on it that
still gets plenty of reorders around here. If you were feeling that, then you
will be feeling this as well.(GLR002)TECH HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
AUDIO WERNER
GETTING UP AFTER
THE DAY (HELLO REPEAT) 12 - 107836
2 stripped down and nasty things from

heard in quite sometime.(HELLO008)TECH HOUSE-11/12/07-GE

1976 (LEENA) 12 - 107837
Following the success of the Catz N Dogz record, the Mobilee
Sublabel Leena bring us another rocker from the likes of Mr Paul Brtschitsch.
This one is a meaty dark dancefloor oriented banger. Deep on the bass, heavy on the beat, and tweaky on the percussion.
Kinda a no-brainer!(LEENA03)TECH HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
SLOWHOUSE
ONE (SLOWHOUSE)
12 - 107838
This ones for the heads out there. Deep and moody house stuff
from a nameless figure. Sounds like classic Detroit flavoured house
music. Mike Huckaby, Rick Wade, or even some who carry the torch like Kerri
Chandler or Sascha Dive. Really nice, rowdy stuff.(SLH001)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
SUM *CARL FINLOW & DJULZ*
BRAIN HOOVER (KLANG) 12 - 107843
Carl Finlow & D'julz come CORRECT with this offerring for

youre pretty damn close.(KLANG126)TECH HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
NAVID TAHERNIA
SPEICHER 56
(KOMPAKT EXTRA) 12 - 107844
Navid Tahernia whipped up this masterpiece for Kompakt Extra and
damn are we impressed over here! The A-side is a loopy mechanical cut with lots
of noisey build up things and a very scary undertone.
Really good for picking up the pace. On the flip, our man brings the 303 out
for a stunning acid line (not unlike old Mike Ink) and dusts off the 909 for
what sounds like it very well could have been produced 10 years ago, given the
spirit of the track. This one is a winner! Thanks Navid!(KOMEX56)TECH
HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
SLG
EARTHWORM
(TRAPEZ) 12 - 107847
SLG bring us another tweaked out slab of playful sounds for your

Peak hour bounce with afterhours sensibilities.(TRAPEZ81)TECH HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
SOIL & PIMP
AIE *COBBLESTONE
JAZZ* (BROWNSWOOD) 12 - 107865
The masters of in your face Jazz serve up a typically funky and frenzied affair for this, the second
single taken from their latest album, 'Pimpoint'. Tugg's Walking Beat Edit is a
storming re-edit, while next up on remix duty is Cobblestone Jazz, the Canadian
trio of Mathew Jonson, Tyger Dhula and Danuel Tate. Cobblestone Jazz soften
some of the spikier edges of the track and warm it up. They pare back some
parts, introduce new layers and a bubbling bassline and give 'A.I.E' the full
dubbed-out electronic treatment as only they can.(BWOOD024)HOUSE-11/12/07-UK

RICHARD GREY FT SIR GREY
DONT TAKE MY LOVE
AWAY (PACHA RED) 12 - 107779
'Don't Take My Love Away' features both
Sir Grey and powerhouse Duane Harden on vocals and Richard exploring an old
school synth riff (you'll know it as soon as you hear it) and providing a
modern production that will certainly cross over to your more commercial club
floors. Getting major support from David Guetta and Antoine
Clamaran.(PR007T)HOUSE-11/12/07-FR
DAVID TORT & DJ RUFF
LA GIRLS *FUZZY
HAIR* (SPIDER) 12 - 107780
Fuzzy Hair turns in two rocking mixes of David Tort & Dj
Ruff's filthy house anthem 'LA Girls'. His mixes both a
full filthy vocal and a dub turn towards the darker side of the electro house
spectrum and work the hell out of a freaked out infectious sound, trippy
effects and builds energy like an atom bomb.(SPIDER011T)ELECTRO HOUSE-11/12/07-FR

HEART LIKE A
DEMON *SLAM* (DK7) 12 - 107810
The third installment in the DK7 remix series.An across the board

MIJK VAN DIJK
BOA / MAMBA
*ZENKER* (BLUFIN) 12 - 107821
Mijk Van Dijk returns from his killer offering on Brique Rouge
with two dope joints for the Blufin imprint. 'Boa' is a
dark and menacing tune with an evil shaking bassline, sparse bits of
electronics, driving beats and dope effects. 'Mamba' is as venemous as the
snake its named for and is a filthy jacking slice of electro funk that gets
remixed by Esperanza's Dario Zenker.(BF032)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
OLEG POLIAKOV
DATCHA MUSIK
(CIRCUS COMPANY) 12 - 107828
You just cant put a label on Circus Company these days. It used
to be all really clunky and tracky sample based stuff. Now, when you put the
needle down, it could be straight up house flavors, or Detroit influenced techno,
or mind bending minimal. With this one, its sorta a mixture of all! The lead
cut sounds straight out of old Kevin Yost type stuff from way back in the day.
The following cut feels like old Kenny Larkin from the "Azymuth"
days. And the closer is somewhere between the 2.(CCS023)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
JORGE SAVORETTI /KASPER/PAPOL
MAGIC KEYS
(ESPERANZA) 12 - 107831
Jorge Savoretti teams up with Kasper and Papol for a sick deep
minimal tech house cut that you can hear his influence
in throughout the entire piece. Perfect basslines, with trippy FX work and
gentle but rhythmic claps. On the flip, Franco Cinelli does his magic to make
it more of a shuffly and more uptempo cut suitable for the
party.(ESPERANZ08)TECH HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
DAVID GILMOUR GIRLS

MARASICA & DUSTY KID
PLUMBI / ATTRE

Marasica & Dusty Kid team up for a dirty lil affair for the Boxer Sport label. The A-side is a blippy minimal
builder complete with hypnohouse-like tones, dirty mechanical drums, and
sophisticated blow-ups! On the flip, things get more mental and maybe a tad
neo-trance. Both sides are A+ efforts.(BOXER053)TECH HOUSE-11/12/07-GE

KILLER SERIES 7

Finality for Pan/ton's Cereal Killers series. And he's saved the
best for last! Reinhard Voigt steps up for a simple yet quite effective trip
down the delay effect with a groovy tech jam focused
around a solid beat with a delayed blip thing that shifts the whole track in
many different directions. Frank Martiniq is next with a moody and creepy cut.
And to close out his series, Pan/ton delievers one of his better productions to
date. A psychedelic indsutrial influenced techno monster!(CERAL07)TECH

WRECK THE DJ (BIG

'Wreck The Dj' is a hot tune that sounds a lot like Fatboy Slim material. It borrows the break from
'Apache' and quite a few more prominent breaks and laces them into an
aggressive funky house number with powerful synths, a hip hop vocal hook and
some old blues vocal samples. The cut and paste house/break hybrid sound will
definitely go over with fans of Hyper, Meat Katie

original mix of 'Yohkoh' features heavenly pads that give the track a deeper
Orbital-esque vibe with quirky synth riffs and cool electronic beats. It's
already on Dave Seaman's latest mix compilation and is a favorite of Danny
Howells. On the flip, Pitch & Hold provide the remix, a darker, chugging
progressive tinged monster for the dirtier, druggier times of the
evening.(CURFEW006)HOUSE-11/12/07-UK

drops two slices of slick deep old school Chicago house. Both 'Walkman' and
'Deja Vu' feature sparse production with deep analog
bass, shuffling hats and soulful vocals which bring us back to the heydays of
Cajual / Relief. Fans of recent Buzzin Fly will love this soulful deep house
gear.(8BIT006)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE
ZOO BRAZIL
PARANOIA (JOHN

Swedish production phenomenon, Zoo Brazil
deliver a nasty builder in the form of 'Paranoia'. It features filthy
psychedelic sustained bass that is a total freak out with equally freaky
effected breakdown moments and sparse trippy melodies. This on will go nicely
with the Get Physical release this week. 'Dirty Disco Boys' on the flip has a
ravier vibe while still keeping it quite psychedelic and
dirty.(JOHN008)HOUSE-11/12/07-GE

This is a one off pressing of 500 only and will not be repressed! To celebrate

providing equally massive versions.(AROMALTD01)HOUSE-11/05/07-BE
HERVE
CHEAP THRILLS
(DUBSIDED) 12 - 107643
Herve is a fucking force. His releases and remixes have all been
furiously funky, edgy, underground and most importantly ass shaking. Here the
force delivers three mind blowing rump shaking numbers starting with the cheeky 'Cheap Thrills' which borrows a snippet from Michael
Jackson's 'Thriller' and works it thoroughly through his jacking tracky off
kilter beats and grooves. Next up 'Lets Get Dirty' does just that with a great
hip hop sample laced into an off the wall hard hitting funked up fidget house
explosion. Last but not least is 'Rocky Raver' that unsuprisingly grabs some
excellent old rave samples and demolishes them in a hard hitting production
that breaks into the guitars from Rocky and only gets wilder and better. The
editing and production on this is intense and if you're a fan of the French Nu
Rave sound ala Sebastian this one's a must!(DSD015)HOUSE-11/05/07-UK
UNDERWORLD
OBLIVION WITH
BELLS *DLP* (DIFFERENT) DP - 107335
GATEFOLD DOUBLE ALBUM. Underworld are
back with a soulful, contemplative, yet typically uplifting album. The single
and album opener 'Crocodile' is simply as good as they get. 'Ring Road' sees
Hyde off on one of his famous psycho-geographic jaunts (this one around
Romford, on St George’s Day), marking time with his compelling word rhythms, while
the treated found sounds in 'Cuddle Bunny Vs Celtic Villages' conjures a
decidedly non-cuddly, almost menacing atmosphere. The lusciusly lowering
'Beautiful Burnout' features Underworld's trademark synth swathes and swells
with a somehow doomed beauty, but the minimal 'Holding The Moth' boasts such a
bass-y spring it practically bounces clean off the vinyl. 'Glam Bucket'
meanwhile, shimmers like a sheet of liquid crystal and 'Best Mamgu Ever' offers
a sliver of downbeat, Balearic bliss at the album’s
close.(4511081012)HOUSE-10/29/07-BE

a three track ep of deep jacking funky house action.
'Illusions' kicks off the festivities and is a bumping slice of Inland Knights
styled chunky house with clever samples, a smidgen of funk and a touch of jazz
and disco to boot. 'Be Bop' is next up and features a prominent vocal hook and
more bumping jazz inflected chunky grooves. Rounding off this amazing ep is
'Say What' a deeper more shuffling monster with a super fat analog bassline,
sweet beats and great touches of effects, pads and
soul.(DRM054)HOUSE-10/15/07-UK

Australia's Bump Music deliver another intelligent & exciting
release with three spanking mixes of The Redhead's "She's So Dirty".
First up is Lil Mark who turns in a shuffling gem of a mix with acid power and much funk in the trunk. Vernon &
Dacosta's mix is a deeper more lush house journey sounding like old Phonography
or early Classic material. Rounding off the package are Style Of Eye who also
turn in a dope and quite deep mix.(BUMP04)HOUSE-10/22/07-UK
COMPOST BLACK LABEL VOL 26

Alex Attias is riding high with his recent bomb for Planet E and
here drops the next offering for Compost's "Black Label" series. This
wonderful three tracker kicks off with an instrumental of 'Let The Rhythm Get
In', with heavy percussive rhythms and deep jacking
beats. Hypnotic Ame styled melodies ride over the top giving the track a deep
electronic soulful sound. Next up Beanfield remixes 'Everchanging Times'. Their
rub is a tough funky slow broken soulful vocal mix that brings to mind Amp
Fiddler / Jimpster material. Rounding off this excellent package is a Quarion mix
of 'Finding Who We Are', a beautifully deep soulful electronic house cut for
the Ferrer / Chandler fans with a whispery vocal, deep analog bass, deep
effects and swinging minimal hypnotic beats.(COMP272)HOUSE-11/05/07-GE

Places' which eventually landed on Defected to critical
acclaim. Here Julien delivers the second offering on Solid State of House's
newly formed sublabel Back To Fundamental and shows off a bit of the sound that
has influenced his productions. 'The Stock' pays hommage to a few of Julien's
heroes, Mr Fingers and Lil Louis. It's a deeply hypnotic and warm euphoric
house trip with heavenly pad stabs, entrancing synth grooves and deep shuffling
beats. On the flip David Duriez pays tribute to his biggest influence, Dj
Pierre and drops his modern take on classic acid
house.(TIRK030)HOUSE-10/22/07-FR

kicking it off. It has a soulful NYC deep vocal house vibe ala Timmy Regisford
/ Tony Humphries and has gotten early plays from Little
Louis Vega and Dj Spen. Next up Fudge gets super deep on 'Midnight Sun' which
has a slick Kerri Chandler / Dennis Ferrer hypnotic soulful electronic edge
with hypnotic rhythms, deep analog bass and trippy effects. More soulful deep
NYC flavored gear on the flip perfect for fans of Franck

PT 2 STEINGARTEN
RMXS (SCAPE) 12 - 107564
Part 2 of the Pole Steingarten remixes. This time around, it's
The Mole and Frivolous giving the treatments. First off is The Mole with his
deep and dark sludge house stylings. Slowtempo with a bassline so thick it's
sexy. Frivolous' mix is more of a party jam. Different
stylings and definitely on a more playful tip. As far as remixes go, it's
probably the best proper remix of both parts of the set. And considering how
good the Huckaby, Dimbiman and Melchior remixes were, thats truly saying
something!(SCAPE48)TECH HOUSE-10/29/07-GE
MELCHOIR PRODUCTIONS
DON JUAN / IN THE

Yeah, we're loving this little taste of what's to come from
Melchoir Productions forthcoming full length 'No Disco Future'. The a side's
'Don Juan' features a mesmerising deep and warm house
tune filled with soul and funky, dubby grooves. On the flip Melchior takes his
grooves in a slightly more abstract direction, a current biggie for
Luciano!(PERL065)HOUSE-11/05/07-GE
BURGER/VOIGT
BRING TRANCE BACK
(KOMAPKT) 12 - 107695
J Burger and Wolfgang Voigt (aka Mike Ink) team up for a rhythm
based beater thats unmistakably Kompakt. Loop driven basslines with stiff
percussion and guitar(?) washes to complete the groove. The title is a tad
misleading, as we really wouldnt call this Trance.
Well, at least not modern day trance. On the flip, things get a bit dirtier and
a little more driven, but still maintaining a rhythm rooted in tech house. Also
has kind of an Animal Republic or Mike Ink LIVEEVIL feel to it, for those who
rememeber that era of German stuff.(KOMPAKT163)TECH HOUSE-11/05/07-GE

2 WAGON REPAIR releases in 2 weeks!?!? Last weeks Missing Link
was a winner, and this one is right up there with it.
This time around, it's Minilogue with their strongest release yet. Shuffly with
some jazzy dark deep synth action going on. Sounds like if Mathew Jonson's
"Marionnette" was more of a housey tune. On the flip, things are
deeper and trippy, to say the least. This one grows and growsinto a true Detroit influenced
classic.(WAG022)MINIMAL TECHNO- 4/23/07-GE

stabs making up the rhythm, as well as some other added FX thingys. The coolest
thing is a snare roll that kida rides underneath the whole time, but never
really comes to the complete forefront. Nice trick!(WNW014)HOUSE- 7/02/07-GE

Stunning track from newcomers Marbert & Rocel. "Beats
Like Birds" has a gorgeous Charles Webster vibe with laid back breezy
jazzy grooves and a breathtaking vocal. The chords are warm and fuzzy and the
track has a delicious delicate vibe. Douglas Greed
provides the remix, a slightly tougher yet no less soulful mix which has more
of a Herbert vibe about it.(COMP271)HOUSE- 9/24/07-UK

exclusive track "Wisconson 95", followed by a remix of
"Down" by TEENAGE BAD GIRL. Nice full package for those who are a fan

for even longer!(BNR017)ELECTRO HOUSE- 8/06/07-GE
RIVA STARR
BUBBLE
(DIRTYBIRD) 12 - 107115
Riva Starr follows up his debut house ep on Jesse Rose's
Frontroom Recordings imprint with a killer for the red hot Dirtybird label. If
you're a fan of Switch styled tech funk, 'Bubble' is an
absolute must. It features booming warped filthy bass, edgy beats, grungy synth
grooves that start screaming and shaking wildly during the killer breakdown /
build up. This sounds like what a collaboration between Switch and Basement
Jaxx might sound like. 'WTF' on the flip is a favorite of Claude Vonstroke who
has included it on his 'At The Controls' mix compilation, a realy jacking slice
of raw powerful funk. Rounding off the ep is 'Baddassbass' which as the title suggests
has a truly killer warped bassline and tough funky
drums.(DB014)HOUSE-11/05/07-GE

PT 2 TEN YEARS OF
TREIBSTOFF (TREIBSTOFF) 12 - 107703
Here is part 2 of the super sick Ten Years of Treibstoff compilation. All 3 of these are really great, by the way.
But, here for the second outing, we have Swat Squad, Rene Breitbarth, Alecs
Marta and Todd Bodine. All 4 cuts have that almost trademark Treibstoff sounds.
Stiff and direct beats, with plenty of bass rhythm and percussive elements. The
exception here is the Todd Bodine cut, which is a tad more acidic than usual
but still fits right in there. Sick tech house for dark dark
rooms.(TREIB075)TECH HOUSE-11/05/07-GE

The Dirt Crew have been kinda silent lately. For a while there,
it was remix after release after remix and we were wondering if they could keep
their momentum up. Well, it seems the hiatus did them some
good because this one is a winner. Very deep, but still very Dirt Crew. The

RE BIRTH (REAL
TONE) 12 - 106572
Franck Roger's delves into more Spiritual Life styled territory
on 'Re Birth'. It features gorgeous pianos and strings, emotional chords, slick
minimal percussion and some epiphanous moments brought
on by melody not the obvious drum build or drops. 'Serenity' heads down a more
Osunlade route going with the some great afro percussion, deep chords and some
sweet live instrumentation. Rounding off this must have deep house ep is 'New
Hope', a slightly slower but no less beautiful or funky number. BACK IN

PULPFUNKTION
(LEFTROOM LTD) 12 - 107633
Deep dirty driving hypnotic house action very much on the Poker
Flat / Steve Bug tip. Remix comes via Dirtybird's man of the moment Worthy who
adds more swing thanks to metalic percussion, a
plodding bassline and a reduced vibe. This mix is pure filth and has a wicked
John Tejada / Palette vibe. But wait, there's more. 'Congobudders' also heads
down a funky swinging Palette street with deep bleepy jacking grooves, trippy
sounds & effects. But wait, there's even more! 'One Way Ticket' has a deep
delicious Liebe vibe, minimal quirky, funky and deep as funk.(LEFTLTD009)HOUSE-11/05/07-UK

reworking which keeps all the beautiful strings and melody of the original and
adds a rolling liquid vibe.(RCR1203)DRUM & BASS-11/05/07-UK
WAHOO

Another fine party rocker here from the Wahoo group. The original
mix is a a sort of broken beat, yet still 4/4 house cut with a hot vocal and some chord stabs that are a throwback to "Pump up
the Jam", so to speak. Also icludes remixes from Freeform 5, as well as
Michi Lange. This one should easily be a big one.(886971402)HOUSE-11/05/07-GE
MAETRIK
FUTURE WILL
*BREITBARTH* (TREIBSTOFF) 12 - 102053
Maetrik has been on fire lately! This 12" would be right up
there with the best of them for him. Future Will
Survive is a groovy minimal jam with some deepness to it, with some really
random sick ass basslines thrown in, resembling some MISC stuff. Also a vocoded
voice spelling things out from time to time. On the flip, Rene Breitbarth give
it his special touch making it a bit more streamlined, and definitely
solidifying its home on this label called Treibstoff. So, if you like the
Treibstoff stuff than you wont be disappointed here.(TREIB70)MINIMAL HOUSE-

The new Smoke City imprint kicks off in fine underground house
fashion, with this hot split EP from the Slum Science
lads and the Hoodfellas sharing duties over three cuts. Slum Science’s “Down
Time” is a serious groover here, with hypnotic horn samples and a chunky bass
loop swirling around in a dense and dubby dnacefloor haze. Meanwhile the
Hoodfella’s “3 Way” goes for jazzy approach with plenty of cut-up samples and
choppy drums keeping things creative. Danny White’s re-edit is more of a
stripped-down and tasteful approach for a nice late night mover. Excellent
label debut for Smoke City.

deep jacking beats and serious effects. The breakdown furthers the psychedelic

quirky, off kilter synth line that gets into your head

Seriously weird but funky shit that has already found plays from Marcel Woods,
Phynn and Tiesto. 'Prominent' features a more galloping and traditional trance
feel with energetic tough beats, slick synth work and nice effects. Leon
Boiler's mix of this steps up the beats giving them a breaky building vibe and
layers the synths and effects to give the track a more melodic and driving

that debut and most certainly have."Wide Lens" kicks things off in
ideal fashion, a lush synth build up warms it up nicely until BANG you are into
a bassline straight out of murksville. Like the vintage techstep dons of yore
it's a stubborn groove which demands movement on the floor. Switching things up
"Cold World" burns white hot with half time pressure that will turn
heads, featuring Inja on vocal duty expect this to be a massive hit with the
more underground selectors - crossing over into the dubstep domain nicely. With
lasers set to stun "Glitch" provides you with even more variety. This
slow burning masterpiece is a jaw dropping piiece of future funk, with glitchy
bitcrushed synths and some heavyweight reese bass pressure jostling for
attention. The awesome foursome is rounded off in spectacular fashion with the
filtered cyber stomp of "Spotlight". The sound of the future once

energetic futuristic beats and a gnarling bassline. For the moodier floors,
'Feeling Blue' from Duo Infernale is a seriously clever blend of hard beats and
delightfully intertwining piano keys and strings. Like Jazzanova on steroids. A
class 10" in the the true Soul:r tradition. Check the Factory inspired
artwork.(SOULR030)DRUM & BASS-11/12/07-UK

BLACK LOTUS *4LP*
(CITRUS) 4L - 106487
FULL FINISHED COPIES! Black Lotus is the long awaited Citrus LP
which has been doing the rounds on dubplate for ages
now. Both the first two samplers were instant anthems and now the full story
comes into focus. The title track 'Black Lotus' gets a mighty remix from Break
who provides subtle edits, deep vibes and absolute pristine production. This
track sets the tone for what this album is all about. a great diversity of
styles and sounds ranging from a dirty, noisy rave track produced with a brand
nu talent from Budapest called Mastif to solo productions like 'The Vulture'
which takes us right back into those early Virus vibes. Pure quality stuff.
Noisia steps in and delivers one of the finest rollers with his remix of 'No
Escape'. More collaboratins and solo efforts complete this masterpiece bound
for greatness.(CITRUSLP02)DRUM & BASS-11/05/07-UK

SUN EMPIRE* (SOM MUSIC) 12 - 107801
FINISHED COPY PROMOS! New Zealand's State of Mind finally kick
off their imprint in fine style. For the A they team up with Axiom on 'Dead
Zone' which begins with State Of Minds signature ethnic vocals before dropping big time into some seriously grimey club business. Perhaps
the toughest tune from State of Mind so far. On the flip you'll find a Black Sun Empire mix of
'Realy McCoy' which was originally released on CIA and found its way on to
numerous compilations including High Contrast's 'Fabric Live' mix

FINISHED COPY PROMOS! Propaganda returns from his huge Position
Chrome release and drops a doozy for Offkey. 'Blu 82'
starts innocently enough with haunting stings and a series of punchy breaks,
but the mood is completely turned on its head by a roaring beast of a bass line
that shocks the track towards a more sinister direction. The bassline resonates
mercilessly while Propaganda injects heavy industrial breaks and
beats.(OK009)DRUM & BASS-11/12/07-UK

FINISHED COPY PROMOS! 'Warriors' was originally scheduled for
Goldie's Metalheadz imprint but now finds its way on to
Seba's own Secret Operations label. It draws much influence from the early
Metalheadz sound. 'Legion' on the flip is another dark number from Seba with
horror movie strings, horn stab mayhem and ever evolving breaks that give the
cut a Source Direct feel.(SECOPS009)DRUM & BASS-11/12/07-UK

Connection cooks up two bad ass productions for the Celcius imprint. 'Dimension
X' on the A shows what kind of bass manipulation
Atlantic Connection is capable of and we have to say, it's quite impressive.
With samples lifted from old sci fi flix the track has a killer Martian virus
vibe. 'Mindslip' on the flip reminds us of early Com
