About Group is a band comprised of members of Hot Chip, Spring Heel Jack and This Heat.

Alex Tepper returns to Saved and this time round presents a solid EP that showcases his quality production skills.

First up is "Got That". From the filtered intro the listener is instantly hooked and the record progresses with perfect programming and sublime percussion. The rumbling bottom end and stabs seal off this peak time bomb.

On the flip is "Breathe In". Like "Got That" the track has a powerful subby bass that brings energy to the record alongside the crisp percussion and leading onto the drop with the effective vocal.

The fledgling Udacha imprint hit the right spot in calling on Rawax alumnus A5 to head up their first release, and the standards are maintained here with Dices at the helm for a four track drop. Those of you with a good memory (and swift fingers) will no doubt recall Dices from the most recent Leleka 12", collaborating with Vakula on that record's standout track "Bug Powder." On the evidence of this full debut EP, Dices has learnt plenty from his time in the studio with Vakula, veering through various moods and expressions of the house form with a similar attention to detail. Equally adept at glistening, crystalline moments imbued with afro feeling such as "Confuse" and shuffling, disjointed rhythms ("Travel Bug") Dices is clearly the latest graduate from the East European school of house music excellence.

A - Side: I Love My Lady (The Black Bahia Version) Ashley reworks an unreleased collaboration between Chic and lounge legend Johnny Mathis. What!!!! This has summer anthem written all over it. Beedle waves his magic wand over this future classic beach groove to create a joyful sing-a-long.
B - Side: Addis Ababa (Afrikanz On Marz Kosmik Rework ) Ashley and his musical partner Darren Morris add their trippy AOM vibes to this rare Studio One classic to create an afro/reggae/drone/psychedelic monster. It pulls you in and does not let you out. This is an essential rework for all the true heads out there.

limited white coloured vinyl edition !!

Sam Irl is a talented producer from Vienna to keep an eye on. After a few releases on various labels, amongst others a 7" collaboration with Dorian Concept and a featuring on "Kutmah presents Worldwide Family Vol. 2" (Brownswood Rec.) with Ritornell, he is releasing his new EP on Jazz & Milk

Long time friend of Yousef and his Circus Events, DJ SNEAK steps up on Circus Recordings with two classic 'Sneak' offerings.

"COMING WITH DA SOUNDS" sees Puerto Rico's finest let rip. Clattering techno beats with an authentic trademark vibe power towards a (dare we say) 1991 rave break down. Big Synthy sounds make way for the straight up power house that our man is renowned for.

"TIME TRAVEL" A track so close to Sneak's heart, he wouldn't let anyone remix it. The groove is relentless and character warm, just like the great man himself.

On remix duties - Circus and Circus Recordings main man Yousef steps up with a slamming remix of "Coming With Da Sounds," backed by label mate Tom Flynn who takes the cut into a trackier stripped back groove with big drums and lively bass. Another great ep from Circus....

The Belgian Duo Stereo Express is the very promising discovery from Shaker Plates. After releasing their
debut EP 'Gypsy Ride' on Atmosphere Records it´s time for the first Vinyl - and hell yeah...what a 12 !!!
Completed with Monster Remixes from René Bourgeois (Supdub, Lordag, Moonplay) and Filtertypen
(Yippiee, Einmaleins Musik).

the piano is a wonderful piano housetrack, kerri chandler smash with his remix

Third album from Germany's Marbert Rocel, a three-piece combining deep electronica, minimal house textures and jazz with classy pop music.

Marbert Rocel spend most of their time looking out of the window and smoking. Then they make music, someone draws for a while, and they soon go back to looking out of the window and making music. Marbert Rocel are twinkle-toed, and yet hardly tangible when you try to grasp them. They combine dance music with songs, songs with cookies and, in turn, cookies with dance music. Therefore, Marbert Rocel spent a lot of time touring - playing gigs in Germany, Holland, Italy, Poland, indoors, outdoors, on the roof, in the cellar, in small groups, in front of many people, and in front of very many people. »It greatly influenced our music. This is the reason as to why we now make ballads at 130 bpm.« At a concert on Enceladus in 2010, Marbert Rocel met Martin Kohlstedt. He seemed to fit perfectly to the band and behind the Rhodes, thanks to his constant eight-armness and his tiger stripes.

One of the labels that caught our eye in the last months was Lonesome Hero. Here their third release and its another quality one. A more then solid house track that kicks off with an intoxicating metalic bassline that hypnotically segues into The Rasundas' staple groove-heavy drums, with an achingly timeless piano peppered all over the top. green vinyl pressing

Rogue Edits is a new label born for the love of the dancefloor. Always with famous artists under a secret alias, its the music that matters. We release only on vinyl, once there gone there gone.

The latest in the Dubplate series cleverly combines a cunning brass band take of an R&B classic with its original version, whilst the flip sees a blues legend get re-flipped for the dance floor!

Centric Music is proud to present 2 gems from Manchester's finest Moodymanc

2 cuts of forward thinking deep house with remixes from tech house don and artform label owner Jamie Anderson, rising Berlin star Elef, and the mysterious Pryor, with a bonus dubtastic mix from Berlin's Falk music founder, James a. Shaw!

State featuring Kuntri Ranks comes will a full yardie vocal from roots reggae star Kuntri Ranks, combining ragga tinged percussion with angelic rhythms a unique mixture which works like a treat. The Jamie Anderson remix takes the Ragga theme even further with well placed samples and his trademark tech house sound, whilst Centric new signing Pryor brings the head nodding chunky b-line, with a great re-arrangement of the vocals.

Glasgow meanwhile is a straight up high-class deep house work out that's draws you in with a slow burner of a build before moving you with a heads down hands in the air groove. Berlin resident Elef takes the track on a completely different tilt with a Deep Disco style remix including a snare to die for.

Promo support from Brothers Vibe , Lars Behenroth, Timo Garcia, Rasmus Faber, DJ Pippi, Mr V, Ian Pooley, Cj Mackintosh and Nikola Gala to name a few

In Moodymanc own words
'State' is dedicated to 'those who pass in and out of our lives but shall remain in our hearts forever whilst,'Glasgow' is dedicated to the warmth and soul of the people and city of Glasgow: a truly great music city'

Hailing from Central African Republic (C.A.R.), Boddhi Satva vowed early in his career to make a statement through a signature sound of his own. Ancestral Soul was born.

Damn another supa strong Audiotrix reach the wax. In the mood of prevvious Audiotrix 14, in between dancefloorish and soufull bootlegy sound, this nu output is sure to devastate danceflloors. Funny Ox is a bomb no doubt, and Sunka on the flip provide 2 suppa efficient tunes, slightly more teky. Must have 12''

cooler sampler !

Slz's debut release on Organic label is marked by three tracks, which differ stylistically but are united by the
original signature of this young and talented French producer currently based in Berlin. His rich musical palate
makes ORG002 EP versatile release that can always be handy to have in the record bag.

Kasper Bjørke is the Danish multi-talent whose second album 'Standing On Top of Utopia' was recently released on hfn music to much international applause. The beautiful, classic-analog meets cutting-edge-futuristic sound of the album has kick started a revolution in post-electronic stylings where songwriting and genuine musical ideas stand in the forefront of tough beats or unnerving trippyness.

number 2 on the limited series vinyl !!

Alex Barattini, the wellknown Italian DJ, presents his new project compilation, including his main House & Dance hits & few previously unreleased tunes. 13 unmixed tunes .

After Marc's really successful "Purple" Release on Kostbar Musik in 2009 and
several EP's on Labels like Deich Records, What What, Enter Records,... he
is back with a new 2 Track Tech-House Slammer called "Anionen" and "Catch
it". Oscar Barila & Oscar Sala delivers a fantastic groove Monster Remix for
"Anionen".

after 3years Djuma Soundsystem comes back on track !!

Following hot on the heels of DSCNTD 002 the chaps over at Disconnected Sounds drop another forward thinking EP.

This time it's the turn of Hugh Pascall, who's track 'Joy Padding' from the Disconnected Sounds debut EP, can still be found residing in some of the more discerning DJs record bags.
After 002 was supported emphatically by the major record shops and and also featured on the Rob de Bank show, 003 had to be a top draw release.
Luckily, Pascall's classical jazz training has ensured just that. He brings three tracks to the table all with a coherent sound and the variety we have come to expect from the DSCNTD releases.

The record goes from the peak-time dance floor friendly 'Chasing Heat' to the more abstract 'Absence March', which features some incredible live trumpeting. 'Varia Falls' is certainly a track very much of its time, resonating with the current cross fertilsation of music genres. The haunting, atmospheric techno ambiance of Max Cooper also features on this release with his remix of 'Absence March'. Max takes the original and gives it a twist for the dance floor. As usual this record is available as a limited edition 300 press 12", no re-run, hand stamped, individually numbered... a digital release will follow later in the year.

300 single pressed, hand stamped & individually numbered records.

Supported by Steve Lawler, Kolombo, AKA AKA, Hanne & Lore amongst others comes the third Powder & Louder vinyl release directly from Berlin. The Chosen Two Remixed Vol.1 features four massive remixes of established The Chosen Two tunes: Ryan Dupree from Stil Vor Talent mixed up "Dampfwalzer" and made a groovy tech house tune out of it. Ardalan (Dirtybird/Gruuv/USA) who was responsible for the infamous Mr.Spock bootleg together with Justin Martin, delivers a more deep and bass driven version of "Alte Frische". The Chosen Two's rolling "Neue Mattheit" was revamped to a funky stepper by Frogs In Socks (Southern Fried/Erase/UK), who describe their music themselves as frogstep ! And now finally on vinyl, the huge Sascha Braemer remix of the Chosen's classic "The Concert" from autumn 2010. Timeless and still very fat !

Supported von Steve Lawler, Kolombo, AKA AKA, Hanne & Lore uvm kommt die dritte Powder & Louder Platte an geflattert um sich dauerhaft in euren Plattentaschen einzunisten. The Chosen Two Remixed Vol.1 featured vier remixe einschlägiger Chosen Two tunes : Der Dampfwalzer wurde von Ryan Dupree (Stil Vor Talent) zu einem smoothen Tech House Groover verarbeitet, jederzeit einsetzbar und sehr lange haltbar. Ardalan (Dirtybird, Gruuv/USA) welcher zusammen mit Justin Martin für das berüchtigte Mr.Spock bootleg verantwortlich war, liefert eine deepe Version von "Alte Frische", während Frogs in Socks (Southern Fried/UK) "Neue Mattheit" ziemlich funky und mit viel sub bass durch den Fleischwolf drehten. Nun endlich auch auf Vinyl, Sascha Braemer's remix von dem The Chosen Two Klassiker "The Concert", erstmals im Herbst 2010 erschienen, zeitlos und immer noch sehr fett !

This is also the fourth (of five) manually colored limited and numbered vinyl editions.

As the so-called independent, underground club music scene continues to self-police with market trends, unconsciously mimicking the mainstream music industry's demise, we try our best to ignore these unwritten rules and to take risks with unexpected output. In the T-Bet tradition, our latest 12" brings the first collaborative release from two established artists: Gabriele Carasco and Angelina Yershova, who offer the intricate, slowly unfolding Beyond Colors EP. Italian born, Zurich-based DJ/producer Carasco has already released a handful of solo EPs, most recently on Andre Crom's OFF Recordings. Meanwhile, Kazakhstani-born, Rome-based Yershova has a more academic background, having brought her experimental performances to festivals throughout Europe and North America. Does this mean suede elbow patches will become the new club fashion trend for 2012 We do hope this EP paves the way for more reflective moments on the dancefloor....

New Rekids! With 2 new tracks from French electronic music artist Lee Van Dowski, 'On' and '1977'

CocoonClub-Resident SKAI and label scenery darling M.In acclaimed for his work on labels like Loco Dice's Desolat and OFF join the Circus Records family with the release of their Mediterranean flavoured Ultima Tromba EP. The release sets off a new era reviving the label itself in cooperation with Darmstadt based club Magenta, SKAI's home for his monthly event Re:Fresh. With a stunning original gaining early support from the likes of Alex Flatner and Mark Reeve the EP is backed with three remixes. Whilst Dragosh serves us with a reduced version of the original in his hailed Desolat style, Remerc's approach finalises with a Tech-House bomb in the way his recent productions on labels such as Trapez or OFF jar the dancefloors. Label-head Mikel closes the package with an accentuated make-over of the original version representing the House heads on this EP.
played by: Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Joris Voorn, Robert Owens, Alex Flatner, Hermanez, Kabale und Liebe, Paco Osuna, Someone Else, Gel Abril
