This newest Wagon Repair is a real treat, with label head Mathew Jonson collaborating with Stockholm’s Adam Beyer, who also lends his remixing talents to Mat’s signature track ‘Marionette’ on the flip side. With ‘Big Dipper’ the sum is arguably even greater than it’s parts. Adam’s pounding percussion is distinctively present, with Mat’s acute ability to develop suspense eminent throughout. Throbbing synth melodies ebb over unrelenting drum patterns, mutating in pitch around a needling static bass and a dissonant lead melody. Surveillant pads loom above the mix, isolating and overpowering elements as the drums grow in stature to climax. Adam Beyer’s interpretation of ‘Marionette’ is a crunchy number, strutting with eerie resonant keys and tight, thudded percussion around the original’s distinctive undulating lead melody.

Wow… we’re expecting big things of this release. Just take a glance at the artists involved and you’ll no doubt feel the same. Matthew Dear, Carl Craig, Kelley Polar, Au Revoir Simone, Susumu Yokota, Emperor Machine and more besides all cover David Bowie’s numerous works in their own style. And the results are strong, leftfield, outre covers and reimaginations of some of the best pop tracks of the last 30 years. Stunning.

welcome to the allien world.
sool is subtle and mysterious.
sool is the new - 4th soloalbum by ellen allien.
“created in winter 2007/2008 in berlin, intended to be a valve, a loophole. winters always have been a very creative time for me; in particular, after this past hot and crazy summer and autumn 2007 in berlin. i do not have any gigs, i never
stay at one place for such a long period of time. instead, i push buttons at the studio, and sing. yeah! minimal what does minimal mean for me?
minimal is just there. permuting that, shaping this kind of immediacy with my own hands - that was close to my heart. a whiff of positive, but nevertheless abysmal energy creates room for the ears. for yours and mine.
what is sool? how is sool?
sool is everything, everyone and none - sool is a phantasm, a creation, which reflects the album�s atmosphere, and also my person. i am me; but i am also what you made me for, what you do with me and what i do with you. and, sool is curiosity, room, and architecture. sketches; drawing; adhering.”
(ellen allien)
dress yourself! - because music is lifestyle.
exclusive for her latest release, ellen has designed a special sool fashionline.
it´s special, it´s hot, it´s ellen allien fashion.

Ellen Allien’s dj-skills are made available again in her fabulous boogy bytes 4 - mix - both en route and everywhere else. according to her contribution to the fabric mixes (fabric 34), and ‘my parade’ (bpc094), an update to her label bpitch control has been done.
And we have to say a big ‚yes!‘ at first, because ellen allien possesses a striking intuition for being directly on the sound of the present - but she never subdues herself to a certain ‚zeitgeist‘. instead, she is known for her shaping of an own typology of sound, that sometimes is a bit too far, maybe crooked, more abstract or technoid than others, and which is moreover understandable as her personal reflection of the now - only out her point of view. as a dj, she stays in a long tradition where the emotional and direct contact to the audience always comes first - likewise, she tries to wage all feasible facets, which are possible in the interaction between dancefloor, airports, studion, office, and living rooms.
It is important for her, to ‚memorize‘ her favourite tracks for the club - but besides that, she never stands idle during the week, and so the motif of motion is formative for the mix too. she describes it in her own words as ‚emotional, noisy, trippy, weird, and sexual‘, which means boogy bytes 4 became impulsive but subtile too. the bass drum is not set into the foreground obviously, neither should it dominate the feelings of the listener. rather, ellen allien sketches a voyage that consists of bass lines, effects and the arangement of the tracks among each other. out of it, enough ‚void‘ is left for the listeners own perception of the music and his personal add-on‘s. not only the last year has been a special year for her, but also for electronic music ‚made in europe‘. and so, that element resonates within the mix, which ellen allien begins with the poem producer agf (who also produces her new longplayer ‚sool‘) and finishes it with the ballad ‚twice‘ of peacefrog‘s little dragon. in between, space is left for the development of concrete moves - and the last club nights appear in mind.
Furthermore, with the current Boogy Bytes 4, Ellen Allien queues seamlessly in the successful series of mixes by Bpitch Control artists. The photographer Axl Jansen, a friend of the Bpitch Control universe, did a perfect instant-action shot for the cover. Whereas in the previous releases Kiki, Sascha Funke, and Modeselektor stood behind the decks, now it is time to give room to Ellen Allien!

Laurent Garnier delivers his first dancefloor 12inch release in five years, ‘Back To My Roots EP’, released on Âme and Dixon’s Berlin house imprint, Innervisions. And what a track - this eagerly awaited EP has had everyone talking about it for months! A huge track - unique, not hip, not old school, not modern, not minimal - just an anthem! Sounding like Herbie Hancock, Mad Mike and Harry Thurman have been making a track together with far-out jazzy keys, out there synths, mad percussion & that solid house bassline.And thats not all, the “Panoramix” sounds like a completely new track - dedicated to (where else?) but Berlin’s Panorama bar - a throbbing cinematic epic. Destined to be one of the tracks of the year - welcome back Laurent!!
////
First part of Ricardo’s new constribution for Perlon entitled “Vasco Ep”. Two original compositions by mister Villalobos, that get remixed on the B-sides by Shackelton and San Proper. As always, Villalobos’s productions are always eagerly awaited and these don’t disappoint - elongated, trippy, minimal techno that transports you. And this is bolstered by an astoundingly deep Shackleton reworking. Brilliant.
////
Did you ever wonder why remixes, usually confined to 12” releases, never made it onto cd’s? Seems like Alter Ego and Klang thought the same thing, so they’ve gathered all the remixes from the singles taken off “Why Not?” and voila, “What’s Next?!” was born… Carl Craig, Tim Deluxe, DJ Koze, Joakim and Supermayer all make an appearance plus you get previously unreleased remixes by Tiga, Adam Sky, Deepgroove & Jamie Anderson and finally Nerk & Dirk Leyers. Not bad, ey?!

Together with his longtime mate Peter Jürgens, he gives us two definite killertunes: “Scoville” for the peaktime minimal techno set and “Manolo” with its rolling house groove and deep bassline for a wicked buildup of the night.

Rother shows off a different side to his productions with two big, electro house meets techno corkers to usher in a new project, Telekraft. Solid, bass-heavy techno with synths and robotic voices aplenty which is just perfect for the more druggy, twisted floors. The biggest and best Rother for quite some time!

Harthouse
Boris Brejcha exclusive Podcast on www.harthouse.com
Born in 1981, Boris Brejcha started his musical education in his childhood. He was educate playing drums and keyboard which had been a perfect schooling for the follwing chapter – producing and performing electronic dance music.
Boris Brejcha began producing and dj-ing in november 2006 and with his first online MP3 debut “Monster EP” and the following EP named “Yellow Kitchen”, Boris Brejcha reached on many download platforms place 1 and became the new techno shooting star playing gigs not only in his home country germany. And so, Boris Brejcha was called “special talent of the year 2007” in the magazine raveline.de. He inaugurates a new era in “high tech minimalism”.
After the successful story on Autist Records, Boris Brejcha reached Harthouse Mannheim at the beginning of 2007 with the digital releases “Outer Space”, “White Snake”, “Die Maschinen sind gestrandet” and “Die Milchstraße”. Short time later the first longplayer named “Die Maschinen kontrollieren uns” reached the stores and became a big success for this fresh artist. The future was focused on this album. A chain of surprises, known elements of electronic dance music and some attractive ingredients from the laboratory of Boris Brejcha. After this Debut CD on Harthouse, Boris Brejcha was getting more and more popular, as well as a remixer, and short time later his first Vinyl Maxi “Who Is Your Man” was published on Harthouse. From now on Brejcha did Remixes for Alex Flatner, Maskio, Zoo Brazil or Stanny Franssen (just to name a few), he licensed tracks for a couple of compilations and you will find his tracks in a lot of famous DJ-playlists.
His sense of humor resonates in his resonates as well as his predilection for unconventional parts. Continuously avoiding conventional sounds, guitars and conventional instruments he always concerned with research into elements which one had never heard before.
So keep an eye for this surprising and upcoming artist!

“Never Say Never” comes along with three powerful remixes, all featuring the vocals of Princess Superstar! These mixes were made by Fetisch himself, as one half of Terranova, by Rampa Mayer, a Berlin based newcomer who’s about to release a 12inch on TNT and others. The remixes are as danceable and bursting with energy as the original.

Bpitch
Lee Van Dowski returns to Bpitch with what appears to be a departure from his ultra-bleepy and ultra minimal sound… “The Last Run” is all rolling techno with big basslines and deep stabbing chords. The kind of techno that just keeps building and doesn’t just sit around and simmer. Great stuff!
myspace.com richard bartz
gigolo records.com
Richard Bartz’s first solo release on Gigolo since his ‘Midnight Man’ album in 2005. The single starts with the deep and powerful ‘Voyager’ and really gets off on the B side with ‘Minimax 1′. ‘Minimax 2′ takes the pace even higher with punchy snare beats and spaced-out effects. Every one of these tracks is ideal for the dancefloor - just what you need to get the crowd jumping.
////
Matthew Dear aka. Matthew Dear, returns under his Audion guise with the follow-up to “Noiser”. “Billy Says Go” is three proper Audion techno belters but the big news is the b-side “Against All Odds”. It’s a slow-building mega-rave monster that develops into this dark overbearing machinistic, driving techno corker. Those of you that found his slightly poppier album under his own name a bit, well, not Matthew Dear-like, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The Audion is back!

ALTER EGO/OGANKU
Alter Ego are bringing out one big remix after the other to go with their latest album… After Joakim, Carl Craig & Tim Deluxe they’ve enlisted the Kompakt armada to work their magic on “Jolly Joker”. First up is the Supermayer version - say what you like about their album but you can not fault a single remix they’ve done. This one follows suit with it’s rather low-slung bassline that bubbles away, the chunky drums and the slow build-up. A beauty! On the flip Herr Koze takes over with equally blinding results… His version is much more playfull and percussive with pads and the occasional off-beat riff punctuating the whole remix. Another slow-builder, it takes a while till it kicks in, but once it does…
////
Two cuts from Oliver Ho under his Raudive guise, delivering a jerky, driving techno bouncer that really works with its machine grooves and trippy bits and pieces. More smacked out on the B side but still with a nice, bright trippy feel. Strong!

Beautifully packaged CD release of this excellent debut album from Dice - who has come a long way from his hip hop roots. Based in Dusseldorf, Dice has been resident at Ibiza’s DC10, released the huge “Seeing Through Shadows” on Minus and been behind some stunningly prodcued tracks on Cadenza. Moving away from Dusseldorf for the streets of New York, Dice created this album over the last year or so - this should suit both home listeners and djs wanting some good club tracks. The album starts with the sublime “Breakfast At Nina’s”, loose, intricate beats and a sweet vocal combine then change for an excellent, organic start. “How Do I Know” is another Cadenza excursion into rhythm - never straying too far from melody and percussion & that all important simple - organic style. Hypnotic and fascinating. “La Esquina” is another highlight - an upbeat, good-vibe track built using two house piano riffs that intertwine each other perfectly. Never completely leaving his hip hop roots behind “Pimp”

musick 21 – 12“ - out March, 28th 2008
SHRUBBN!! is back!!
musick (shitkatapult´s clubload label) presents RUMPELRITTER - an epic tekkkno 12″ by schieres and t.raumschmiere aka SHRUBBN!! this record contains four basic techno tracks with a zero tolerance policy against all odds. Opener BASSTOELPEL presents a straight 4 to the floor beat with a great hook-melody line. KUCHENBLECH and THEMA 2.0 follow this idea combining rave and rough and musick. last track on this ep is the giant ambient piece EBENHOLZ that has been made of pure sound progression and not easy logic plug ins. after all RUMPELRITTER remarks a great follow up of the first musick 12″ by SHRUBBN!! who are able to merge the “good old” t.raumschmiere techno punk vibe with a crystal clear techno beat. please also look out for the amazing SHRUBBN!! remixes of APPARAT (on shitkatapult´s upcoming strike 89 -apparat remixes double CD) and depeche mode singer DAVE GAHAN (on mute). feel the taste of musick – with SHRUBBN!!

shitkatapult strike 91 – CD - out 2nd of may 2008
LARS FENIN has been a shitkatapult artist right from the start. his first ep “container“ (strike 19) already displayed his unique dub techno trademark sound in the late nineties. several eps and one wonderful album (“grounded“) later shitkatapult proudly presents his second album “been through“ in may 2008. and FENIN truely developed: “been through“ steps out of the dub techno circus to involve much more.
firstly rhythmwise you can recognize that the dub step era influenced the berlin producer: 4 to the floor beats have been replaced by strong broken patterns that still deal with a dancefloor feeling but with ltheir subtle breaks and moves develop into a very own approach to electronic dancehall.
secondly and more important: just as other shitkatapult artists like T.RAUMSCHMIERE and APPARAT for example, FENIN developed his songwriting skills that already led him to his most impressing track so far (“none of them“ from “grounded”). the track “A TRY“ is far out! heartbreaking lyrics on a wonderful conscious tune, that easily merges dancefloor and listening approach. fenin’s charming comrade GORBI, a berlin based singer from ghana, lends his unique voice for this beautiful track. far away from being a ripping wanna-be jamaican reggae toaster, GORBI showcases a real african singer spirit in his work. as a whole “been through“ contains 4 tracks with GORBI: the very african “colourfield“, the majestic “a try“, the silent “I guess“ and the smiling cover version of “red red wine“ mark a line of tunes, songs - not tracks.
FENIN also released on labels like ECHOCORD, METEOSOUND, REVOLVER, HÖRZU, EINTAKT.

shitkatapult strike 89 – 2XCD - out april 4th, 2008
This is an amazing double CD from one of our favorite labels.
Some of the best music we have heard this year.
sascha ring aka apparat remains special: this new double cd release on
berlin label shitkatapult presents a first and fine collection of apparat´s
remix work until today.
cd 1 showcases 11 giant mixes he did for artists like paul kalkbrenner (w/ ellen allien), francesco tristano, swayzak, boys noize, lusine, nathan fake, meteo/thiel, nitrada, raz ohara and himself. Plus an unreleased live apparat re-version of “let your love grow” by moderat (a cooperation between modeselektor and
apparat) feat. the great tikiman (aka paul st hilaire).
cd 2 assembles 11 re-mixes done for apparat plus several apparat remix 12″.
all of them appear on cd for the first time: telefon tel aviv, modeselektor,
chris de luca vs phon.o, thomas fehlmann, monolake, boys noize, lusine and
many more are featured artists. also this cd features a previously
unreleased mix: shrubbn!! remixing hailin from the edge.
btw:
shrubbn!! is a new techno monster project by hamburgs digital punk producer
schieres and t.raumschmiere. strange as usual (see also the great dave gahan remix on mute) the shrubbn!! remix presents a
half beat double bass heavy tune that kicks floor and brain. hailin from the
edge on the corner of what you can roll on.
all together remixes - and parts to be frickeled is a giant showcase of
nowadays electronic music pioneers merging their ways of making music. club
killer tracks as well as silent epics and musical wonders find together
in apparat´s musical cosmos. this cd is not meant as a follow up of the
successfull “walls” album, rather a way to understand apparat´s background,
friends, influences, work and ideas. if you like “walls” you surely love
this one - and even more you can step into this new motion of electronic
music that takes both steps: loops/tracks/club music vs. songwriting,
soundscapes, and new ways of experimenting and understanding what is
possible with bits and bytes, instrument(al)s and vocals.

Greek duo AirbusModular will be releasing their debut record “Destination” on Traum in
April 08´.
The 3-tracker features the title track on the a-side. The brainy melodic avalanche track
“Destinations” has sequences wandering up and down randomly creating a seemingly
Latin like flavour.
The b-side holds the tracks “Poise” and “Manoeuvres time seconds”. “Poise” is a technical
but energetic track with lots of different parameters and small details throwing you gently
from one corner into the next. As the track evolves it develops into a dubby relaxed techno
house track.
AirbusModular´s shift from one genre into the other is achieved by a fantastic loose sort of
jam session like structure.
The b2 track “Manoeuvres time seconds” is more experimental and occasionally hits with
organ stabs und cool breaks.
Tracklist:
A. Destinations
B1. Poise
B2. Manoeuvres time seconds
////
Bukaddor & Fishbeck´s forth EP on MBF is again another step further into a slightly
different direction. As we have witnessed everyone of their record´s has been different so
far. “Nachtexpress/ Long distance call” stood for hypnotic repetitive contemplative music,
“Less/ Polterabend” for dynamic rocking heavy duty techno house, “Supaglass/ Campus”
added a touch of pop and smoothness… their new record “Live is Life/ Mr. Floppy” is
definitely the most stripped down percussive record they have done so far.
The beat phreak track “Live is Life” evolved from their recent live gigs in Rome. It is a very
direct “hands up in the air” monster.
We think Richie Hawtin will be able to relate to that tune since it evokes feelings of the past
which arouse when dancing to Plastikman records. Now with “Live is Life” the force is also
the unbelievable heavy bassline which is the motor for the track together with the
determined percussive onslaught.
“Live is Life” is definitely a DJ track which will mix in well with a lot of minimal records, but
the fatness of this one will show for sure.
“Mr. Floppy” is closer to their track “Campus” much bolder and softer, but very percussive
and funky. Probably the track which is less extreme but will work in many sets since it´s less
demanding, has cool breaks to relax and dynamic shifts which are all very well thought
out.

As a workaholic DJ in the 90s, Arne Michel traveled throughout Europe and created
‘The Announced’ parties when most people had no clue what impact techno was to
have on the musical world. Back in the days releasing as “Thee Engineer” he returned
to the party circus in the last years without an alias. Now working in the independent
film business in Berlin and spinning at many a fine underground club on our vibrant party
circuit, he’s finding the time to put out some fine tunes for us.
‘Danke, Goodbye’ is Arne’s second release on Exercise One’s Lan Muzic imprint. The
title track is remixed by the mysterious Chat Noir - who is this black cat of minimal?
None other than Pan-Pot’s Tassilo, launching here his solo alias which he’s found the
time to create in between releasing the debut Pan-Pot album and touring all over the
world. Busy kitty!
On the logo side we find Arne’s beautiful charming and melancholic “goodbye / / danke”
to gently pluck your heart strings. But in the hands of Tassilo it gets a classical extended
remix, with Arne’s beautiful melody a bed for new punchy percussion and noise. To go
a bit darker….Black Cat Style!
On the info side Arne Michel shows the know how he’s collected over the years.
“Ignore” and “Osmose” are both serious all round club tracks. „Osmose“ has the focus
more on the beat and percussion. Osmosis is an exchange of energy, and can be made
to do work, as when a growing tree-root splits a stone. ‘Ignore’ takes us to a darker,
trippy side of the music without ignoring anything you might need to fall into its
deepness. Can you hear them? No - I ignore them!!!

We are ecstatic to welcome Octopus to the Tailored family!
A modern electronic music imprint maintained and curated by Sian
(Aus/Pokerflat/Karmarouge), Octopus has to date worked with artists of the calibre of
Gui Borratto, 3Channels and Calculus.
Their fourth release welcomes French artist Herve AK, well known for his seasoned
and delicate techno compositions. Resident DJ and artistic director of Lyon’s renowned
DV1 club, Herve has to date released on everyone from K2/Kompact, Stirsound and
Obsolete, picking up a reputation as the ‘Louis Vuitton of techno’ along the way.
A side ‘Sorry But No’ (Rippertons D3 Remix) invites cultured Swiss artist Ripperton to
reinvent Herve’s original. Opening with clattering percussion, live electronic signals
coalesce into a melodic push, with euphoric pads and an off beat bass climb pushing the
mix to the edge and beyond.
On the B side, Herve’s original pulses and crackles with flickered percussion and patient
melody. Ethereal pads slowly approach from a distance, enlivening the composition and
agitating the dormant static into a frenzied climax.

Persona label boss Stewart Walker returns with his first
12” release since last year’s well-received album
“Concentricity.” On this release he continues to seek the
correct balance between power and detail in high,
medium, and low intensity versions.
The powerful A - Side, “The Stiff Materialist” kicks off the release with at least a thousand sounds
and a clearly defined dynamic narrative which shifts between many unique-sounding peaks and
plateaus.
B1 – “Free Association” has become a staple of Stewart’s live shows over the last 6 months. It’s a
little bit more subdued than the track on the flip, but it gains intensity with a pull on the pitch-slider,
and at slower pitches becomes more groovy.
B2 - “Mint Tea with Honey” is the most peaceful track of the EP, and one for those who really
enjoyed “Getting Drunk was the Right Thing to Do.” from Stewart’s last Persona 12” “Druid Hills.”
In case you are drifting away from your spaceship, completely helpless and without any gas for the control
nozzles, please follow the points given in the manual:
1. Get in a straight hovering position and smile as much as you can now.
2. Try to throw any particulary precious equipment towards the space ship.
3. Press the button „Winter“ on your control board and in the following dialogue window, press „Dump“.
Within the next 7 nano seconds, you will be completely frozen and of course, not alive anymore.
Thank you for your co-operation.

After an excellent feedback for its first release, Renovatio Records presents an ep made by young and rising producers from Sardinia.
The first track “Techno inside Me” is produced by Andrew KK, a new talented and promising artist from the sardinian techno scene who already released on 4line records from Barcelona. His track for Renovatio is obscure and obsessive, with a lot of synths that impress with its epic and agressive atmosphere.
The first track on the b side is “Techno is brain”, from the label manager Alessio Mereu, characterised by a deep bassline and a pressing groove, in which the hypnotic synths and a sensual voice are perfectly puzzled in and destined to keep the dancefloor crazy.
On the same side, “Morale della favola” by Danilo Carboni is characterised by a funky groove and deep sounds getting a surprising impact, with a particular evolution and great rithmics.
Don’t miss it!

A product of an intense artistic exchange between Parisian producer DJ Yellow and
New Yorker Astrid Suryanto, ‘The Intermission’ catalogues a story of burning desire
and accursed love.
The concept was clear from day one. The duo would write a love letter, and sculpt an
album from its contents. Within the letter was a tale of a character so tormented by the
possibility of her relationship losing colour that she decided to leave, eternally
preserving it’s resonance but tragically separating the star-crossed couple.
This bitter-sweet contrast of beauty and melancholy is ever present in ‘Intermission’,
with Astrid Suryanto’s soaring vocals adding shades of light and dark to DJ Yellow’s
blend of cold metallic techno and uplifting electronic pop.
Tracks like ‘In Your Voice’, ‘Light On Me’ and ‘T
