Iron Curtis - Soft Wide Waist Band (Text: Gerd Janson) As we all know, there is a first time for everything. In this case, it's even a debut for both: the Tensnake co-run label Mirau and Iron Curtis. 'Soft Wide Waist Band' is Curtis' entrance into the world of long players and the first of its kind for the Hamburg imprint that fittingly put the producer on the map with his 'Solgerhood EP' in 2009. Three years and a string of releases on Retreat, Kolour, Mule Electronic, remixes for Jacob Korn, Ripperton or Mano Le Tough and a move to Berlin later, Johannes Paluka alias Iron Curtis has matured enough as a producer to take on the heavy burden of a 'house music' album - if you want to call it like that at all.

Audiotrix keeps on digging for a newskool Techno, electro, thick and groovy. The wake of the beast !

'Aura Go' rises, opens, rouses not unlike a soft light growing to illumination, a day slowly revealing itself. Synths whisper and ring out - like bells marking an early hour - at the start, followed by a succession of other awakenings: a palpitating beat, vocalizations that repeat like undulations, percussive poundings and ringings. It all leads to full on, acid-infused, dance floor hypnosis, with producer Dennis 'DJ' McNany pushing polyrhythmic, almost tribal beats to the very front. With the addition of husky vocals from collaborator Jee Young Sim - imagine Siouxsie Sioux crossed with Planningtorock - the sound becomes something altogether, and altogether unexpectedly, gorgeous.

Run Roc's Whisper Dub is a more intense revision of the Jee Day original. While the first version of the track achieves its enthralling propulsion through the melding of so many disparate sounds, Roc's version achieves greater alarm with the addition of elements in a higher register. The effect is a song that feels both tauter and slightly more dense than in its first incarnation. Despite the hushed singing that leads off the track, the fiery feel of the music makes the 'Whisper' in the title seem nominally deceptive.

After a two-year break, Detroit producer and wayward star-child Jimmy Edgar debuts on Scuba's Hotflush Recordings armed with an album full of futuristic sleaze. Known for his unique take on jacking house and electro funk, he's recently been splitting his time between the US and Berlin, exploring transcendental meditation and the boundaries of the non-physical. This offering is an extension of that journey, bringing eleven tracks of erotic robo-pop to the table. Titled Majenta, this LP is a departure from his past sound, marking a shift in his own ever-expanding consciousness, as well as another exciting chapter of his musical career.Each track is an aural manifesto, giving well-deserved nods to his varied musical influences. Close encounters with Detroit legends Derrick May and Juan Atkins, Jimmy's 2004 signing to Warp Records, and his early exposure to Kraftwerk have all acted as lynchpins in the cultivation of his sound. With a number of releases on Glasstable, Semantica, Nonplus and long player releases on both Warp and !K7, Majenta reflects Jimmy's evolution as both artist and child of the cosmos.According to Edgar, the making of the album was steeped in countless synchronicities, continuously reminding him he was on the right path. In contrast with his last LP, XXX, for !K7, which took five years to make, Majenta is more raw, more spontaneous and in his words, 'more futuristic ... than my other music, which played a lot with retro, especially R&B.' From the outset, Jimmy's flexing his Kraftwerkian muscle, with vocoder complimenting his own unadulterated voice and '80s synthlines bubbling away alongside jazz-funk keyboard riffs. From the raunchy and sexually explicit 'Take Me on a Sex Drive' ('windows down, legs up high') to the low-lit, hypnotic feel of 'Attempt to Make it Last', to the UK garage rhythms of 'Let Yrself Be', to the Kiss-era Prince vibe of 'I Need Your Control', it's clear that the postmodern is Edgar's domain. The Frampton-esque vocals of 'In Deep' close out the LP and further cement his enviable place in the intergalactic community.Spring/Summer 2012 will see Jimmy playing a number of live shows across Europe and the US in support of Majenta (including major festivals such as Glade, UK), as well as his continued exploration into the world of LEDs and synchronized light technology.

To try to label John Roman is to date yourself - the reclusive producer/DJ whose appetite for innovative music is exceeded only by his obsession for creating it. At 22, his original tracks "Sala" and "Petrified" have already graced Laidback Luke's BBC Radio1 Essential Mix and Brodinski's Fabriclive60 CD, respectively. With additional supporters ranging from Riton, Sinden, Fake Blood, Harvard Bass and even Skrillex, its hard to imagine a sound so unique and widely appealing if you haven't heard it already. Raw, rhythmic, sample-heavy and instantly danceable - Roman's music cuts straight to the bodies on the dancefloor and the mind of the listener. At once a rejection of the mainstream's neon hedonism and the elitist underground's critical constraints, Roman channels the angst and aggression of youth with the sophisticated wisdom of a veteran househead. It's this rare combination that's earned him official remixes for Crookers, Sinden, Defected - and of course also Sound Of Stereo (Quartz, from the Mineral EP). We're very happy to be able to present a full EP from him now on Lektroluv. With such an amazing sound, this guy is gonna be big in no time, mark our words!!

Justin Martin made the very first release on dirtybird records in 20
awaited debut artist album with the very same smile and fun loving attitude he's had since the beginning. "Ghettos
& Gardens" is exactly as advertised - a tender and tough collection of songs that build you up with sweeping
strings, then break you down with earth shattering basslines. It's sunsets vs. cyclones, roses vs. razors, and
bunny rabbits vs. wolverines.

Rocknroll electro techno feeling on the A-side... While B-side makes it Rave dubstep...

Queen of Deep and Soulful House music presents , as usual in cooperation with William Hurley & Flavio "Muscle", a new great edition of this internationally wellknown serie. This time 30 great hits incl. Ron Trent, Cunnie Williams, Aki Bergen, Frankie Knuckles...and many more hits !!!! Enjoy yourself !!

Built For Love is the single that brings the campaign for Kraak & Smaak's third album Electric Hustle to its peak. Previous singles Let's Go Back and Hold Back Love are still mainstays of many charts months after their release and new EP Kraak Beats Vol. 2 is currently held in very high regard as we speak.

Lets Ride is the third artist album by KRAFTY KUTS. On this album KRAFTY has produced 16 tracks with many Featured Vocalists that showcase the many influences of today¹s dance music and show the eclectic side of Krafty Kuts and his world famous DJ sets. Be it hip hop,breaks, Drum and Bass, Rave or Dub step there is something for everyone on this album.

Versatile Lakaband is back, this time for a symbiotic EP with Automatic Tasty. The Automatic Tasty's anemone mix is a spirited and vigorous take on the acidulated languor of the original "Clownfish", Lakaband's smooth track, and the bouncy effervescence of the Irish mogul's "Morning Again" meets the casual nonchalance of Lakaband's track "Protandry".
With all tracks having been under the well advised mastering supervision of Alden Tyrell, and coming in a pretty limited number of copies, this release will be a nice addition to your collection.

The track has just reached its highest airplay position in France (#18), and is set to get bigger as Lykke Li will be over in France in April to do promo work. On top of this it's already been number one in Belgium and Holland.

Molella DJ presents the 7th project for his M2O Club Chart serie. 16 hits selected and mixed by himself, with artists such as Martin Solveig, Daddy's Groove, Mark Knight, Erick Morillo......and many more. In the magazine you'll find all new coming summer club hits !!

repress soon, be fast to secure your copies! After two and a half years of waiting, Marc Romboy and Stephan Bodzin finally return with their ninth single collaboration, "Triton"!!! Yet another wonderfully unique piece of music, "Triton" is the lead single from their debut album "Luna" which is set for release on triple CD and six vinyl record set in February 2011. This is massive !!!!!!!!!!!!!

repress soon, be fast to secure your copies! a great new electro house bomb on systematic records !!!

Astonishing album by Mark du Mosch, who delivers his first full length album on Syncom Data Records and it's quite simply overwhelming. In a true Detroit fashion Mark du Mosch rides that fine line between techno, house and disco.

Causing absolute carnage throughout Miami 2012, BULLETS EP VOL. 2 features 2 tracks guaranteed to drive any dance floor from peak hour to after hour!

This " Minimal Elements " contains 10 elektro minimal tunes ( all unmixed versions ), selected by DJ Moses T . Great project !!!

phatt new album by moonbootica !! dont miss out !!

A new label from some of the decision makers arrives in the shape of Love Interest, promising a release schedule that eschews genres in favour of seeking out international talent that piques their fancy. Minneapolis-based Nyteowl is at the helm for the first release with "Love Of Mine". This clear vinyl twelve inch edition sports two fine remixes from Boy 8 Bit and Mighty Mouse, which naturally take the 80s swagger of the original in differing directions. Boy 8 Bit calls on all his studio trickery with a remix that constantly shifts sonically before dropping into an excellent final detuned synth passage, whilst nu-disco troupe Mighty Mouse are on soaring form, adding some meat to that beat, whilst Nyteowl's vocal hitches a ride on an upwards arpeggio.

Double ten inch pack edition of the debut release from Love Interest, a newly minted label from the Records enclave. Minneapolis based electroboogie crooner Nyteowl has been handed the honour of the debut release with the Prince-leaning "Love Of Mine", and this edition features remixes from both Brassica and Astro Chicken founder Hyboid. Given the nature of their output, both are perfectly placed to tease out the nuances of a 80s referencing electronic soul track and Brassica in particular excels, extracting gleeful new levels of texture out of the synth sounds with a truly twisted remix. Hyboid adopts an outer galactic electro poise reminiscent of his finest output on Astro Chicken, and if vocals aren't your thing, check the B-side of each ten inch slab for instrumental mixes.

Bristol's October (who teamed up with Applebim to tear out a truly cold remix of Skudge last year) comes with his own 12" on the Skudge artist series... 2 Excellent tracks here - 2 moods, both heavy! TIP!
October's new EP for Skudge is one for the warehouse: both in nostalgic and progressive terms, October seem to have recorded the timelessness and his soul into the forth installment of Skudge Presents.

Beautyfull electro breakz tunes, unformated and music. Melodious and progressives. Excellent music !

Uncompromising underground acid tunes going to the raw acid from the early Acid Planet, Bunker days, and having a little touch of sick Gesloten Cirkel productions. A highly limited 200 copies edition release that won't be repressed. First Come first serve!

AKA AKA - Great compilation (obsirnth)
UGLH - Cool music.........thanks (colish)
Andreas Henneberg - swing it like already in my playlist. MONSTER TRACK!
DJ Misk - playlist and support in altroverso radio (deep flower)
Binary & Durden - Chris Lattner's Track is our favorite! Will Play! .... and 20 likes for chris....
Nicolas Masseyeff - Chris and Karina did it well!!! tis one for me here !!!

Shit Robot returns with his first new material since the release of his debut long-player, 'From The Cradle To The Rave'. After spending much of 2010 and 2011 touring the globe with his live show - including a string of dates opening/performing with LCD Soundsystem during their final shows in NYC - the rebooted Robot is back with 'The Green Machine'.

The first result of his Stuttgart/New York studio adventures is a double-header of dancefloor jams, 'Teenage Bass' b/w 'Space Race', which is released on vinyl and digital on DFA on May 21 2012. It's the first in a series of releases called 'The Green Machine', which will culminate in an album early next year.

Lead cut 'Teenage Bass' rides a rude EBM bassline and rave alert sirens, before expanding further with key changing chords and a defining arpeggiator. The hypnotic 'Space Race' is a distant relative of 2007's 'Chasm' - a meandering, melodic, star-gazing Robo-techno workout

The Situation crew have paid their dues with some of the better disco edits to surface in recent times - a particularly slick and slippery revision of a Quantic standard for Disco Deviance still gets rotation from those in the know. It's nice to see the slightly elusive Five Valley crew return to the art of the twelve inch with something a bit more substantial in form of a new label Situationism and some original material for the debut release. "Barcelona" is presented in three different danceable situations (geddit) with the disco version a particular highlight. The excellent Psychemagik are also called on to remix the track in their own inimitable somewhere between house and disco style.

SKRILLEX is on the path for complete world domination and is kicking 2012 off with a bang by releasing a brand new EP 'BANGARANG', which is available digitally now. It went straight to #10 in the UK iTunes chart and very quickly peaked at #2 with it taking the #1 spot in the dance charts. In the US it peaked at #2 and went to #1 in Australia, New Zealand and Canada's iTunes charts. The first single 'Breakn' A Sweat (Skrillex & The Doors)' is Zane Lowe's Record of The Week at Radio 1 and has gone straight onto the A-list.

A legend of Techno music on Tigersushi. We are really proud!
An electro hacktivist since the 90s, French techno pionneer, inventor of what became Electro Clash with Miss Kittin, true Italo Disco lover, legitimate son of Dopplereffekt and Kraftwerk and godfather of the new French sensation Gesaffelstein with whom he runs the label Zone. When Michel Amato (his real name) contacted us with a few tracks we felt so honored. He really got back to his roots here with deep italo and electro, warm analog synths against cold robotic drum machines, great melodies. It would have been a hit on the now defunct CBS radio.

Toolroom presents 'Toolroom Records Miami 2012', the essential soundtrack to the biggest highlight in the dance music calendar, the Miami Winter Music Conference, with a selection unleashed in 2 vinyl samplers.

'Toolroom Records Miami 2012 Sampler 2' has been selected for the house purist, with Luigi Rocca & Manuel De La Mare's chart smashing 'Opa-Locka', Federico Scavo 'IOS', the techier Koen Groeneveld 'Slot' and Sebastien Leger's 'Grey Sky and Yellow' completes the package.
