6 years after their last release (the known cult « first album » on Gigolo), Miss Kittin & The Hacker are back on goodlife with two brand new tracks: Hometown is a classic electro pop track and DIMANCHE is a ten minutes acid live track for the late night or early morning clubbers .
listen to the tracks on Goodlife records here!
////
Tinitus Pärt (Feliks Thielemann) & Mathias Schwarz are Super Flu! They are in the true
sense of the word wizards! Their ability to lend tracks a feeling that neutralises gravitation
is unique. An invisible and flexible bond seems to exist, linking the different aspects of
techno music.
The two tracks “She” and “Tripple Mapple” on their stunning first release create a similar
energy as Nathan Fake´s “Dinamo”, but have a stronger “fusion” character. The duo
assimilates different styles such as techno and electronic music und fuses them in a musical
way that is breath taking! Both tracks make the transition from machine strength tightness
over acoustic sound cascades to melodies and still remain 100% clubby.
The tracks have an enormous flow to them, are adventurous, dive from heavy traffic of
sounds into a pool of quietness and ascent with dry keys! It seems like a “trip” or rather a
voyage or journey into another world. Contradictions, different levels of dynamic, all are
overcome through an great deal of musicality.
Still both track are not a mere construction of sound, but are full of joy, liveliness and
instinct for emotional music. They reveal that Tinitus Pärt & Mathias Schwarz are no
newcomers to the techno scene. Both of them have been producing music for some years
now. They have released a lot of remixes and some 12″s and work as DJs in Germany.
The “She” 12″ is a grand opener for records to come on Traum in the future and puts them
right next to a people such as James Holden, Dominik Eulberg, Minilogue, Extrawelt.
Last but not least it is important to mention: Super Flu do not limit their doings to music, but understand themselves as part of an “electronic lifestyle”.

‘Shut Up and Dance’ marks the unique collaboration of two of Berlins most important representatives of high art and nightlife, the Berlin Staatsballet and Berghain. They are joined by five of the most influential producers of electronic music who have contributed exceptional compostions. According to the occasion, they present themselves in unusual ways, exclusively for this project and performance.
With ‘Shut Up and dance! Updated’ Berghain is exploring new terrains as a venue and homebase for the Ostgut Ton label. On june 27th, the Staatsballett Berlin will celebrate the premiere of ‘Shut Up and dance! Updated’ in co-production with the club: five members of the Staatsballett will perform choreographies developed to electronic music especially composed for this occasion. The musical results work equally well outside of the venue.
Regular guests like nsi. (aka Tobias Freund and Max Loderbauer), Sleeparchive, me, Luciano and the 7th Plain (aka Luke Slater) have adjusted to the unfamiliar perception of their music and have contributed exceptional and fascinating pieces. Their spectrum ranges from nsi.’s low frequencies and abstract sounds, Sleeparchives icy minimalism, mes epic, repetitive arrangement reminscent of Philip Glass, to Lucianos humorous house grooves and last but not least Luke Slaters beatless lush ambient track under his The 7th Plain moniker.Considering the variety of all tracks, they work astonishingly well as an album. Every artist developed his music completely autarkic. There were no instructions on how the music had to sound.
Eventually, they all opted for a calmer, hypnotic sound (the most club friendly track, Lucianos ‘Drunken Ballett’, will be released on vinyl including a Moritz von Oswald remix in September). This is how Luciano describes his approach: ‘Before I started producing the track, I brought the dancers to mind: how they merge with the sound, how their bodies move to the music and what kind of music should come out of the speakers. I wanted to put dance music in relation to modern dance and I wanted to make physical movement and music correspond to each other.The flirt between high art and entertainment has been inspiring and enriching for all involved.
Ronny Savkovic – Choreography fr me ‘Fiori’ -”Dancing between those old and high walls, is something completely different from what Im used to on the vast stage at the Opera. It really is a unique thing to work with the music of some of Berghains best known artists. I really think it is exciting to present new facets of our work in a new setting to our classic audience.”
Kathlyn Pope – Choreography for Luciano ‘Drunken Ballet’ – “To me, Berghains architecture is the most appealing bit about it. The choreography really uses the space and its possibilities. It creates new forms of movement fitting the ambience and the music. It is very different from what Im confronted with normally. I really like the music Im doing my choreography for. It is very casual and humourous. After listening to it, I immediately had a lot of images in my head. I think my work will have a lot of humour as well.”

Release date 11-06-2007
The double Mix CD “Movement” holds a mix CD each of Martin Eyerer and Oliver Klein.
Martin Eyerer and Oliver Klein introduced their works to MBF with their stunning debut EP “Kairo” and the follow up “Tiflis” which is due on the 21st of May 2007. Oliver and Martin share a lot of the same ideas which lead to the project which is released exclusively onMBF.
Both artists have been successful in other genres of electronic dance music but now their focus lies on the minimal version of dance music.
Martin Eyerer started Djing in 1986. He experienced the early acid house days… and still owns his old Roland 303. But he made himself a name through remixing bands such as
Gus Gus, Delight, Simply Red, Cassius and through remixes for Ministry of Sound/UK.
DoC brings you a very special new release from one of it’s mainstay artists, Jambi.
Flat is a two track EP that offers to very unique and special tracks from the Jambeast. And how the Jambeast has already been busy! Jambi’s recent release for Dinky’s label, Horizontal, turned quite a few heads, with a track also appearing on the new TDK Time Warp mix cd by Loco Dice.
The Flat EP is a new direction for Jambi by combining his traditional sine and tom driven production with unique analog acid lead sounds and complex reverb automations.
There is never a dull moment to A Side “Cracked Ceiling”, whether you are jamming out with your ipod on the u-bahn or sweating buckets with your hands in the air at your discothèque of choice.
B Side “Dirty Carpet” is also a new direction for Jambi. Jambi brings his super deep percussion programming to create a modern hybrid with elements of the triplet driven sound of Cologne. This is a track that just won’t let you down. It’s
slowly building energy will either save the party when you need it or push it over the limit if you are almost there.
We would suggest you don’t let this record out of your case for a while. This EP is definitely a versatile choice for the fine dj.

The world is Ellen Allien’s canvas, and what a colourful picture she paints. Thriving on imagination and inspiration, the Berliner is continually shifting shapes and blossoming under an impressive variety of creative lights.
“I wanted to do an analogue mix, by hand. I used my favourite records of last year and the newest ones. I like analogue! And I like to hear how one has to manipulate the mix until it’s tight. I like the mix because to me it’s the ideal club mix that I personally would like to hear in a club. It’s also a nice memory for me – I can remember every record being played by myself in a club. And when I now listen to the mix I can
recall all the great moments.” – Ellen Allien

RUOK? RUOK? Everyone’s been there at one time or another but no one’s documented it quite so explicitly as Ambivalent (aka Kevin McHugh) on his first release for Minus. Set against a stripped down groove, you can almost feel the back of your eyeballs start to sweat as the pitched down vocals narrate an all too familiar tale of late night over-indulgence (also included in acappella form). The whip-crack snare struggles to contain a sliding, elastic bassline and a fuzzy synth line infiltrates the proceedings like a wasp that’s somehow got trapped inside your head. The vocals grow increasingly demented in the breakdown before the subsequent return really cranks it up a notch. The hi hats double up and the subsonic toms pound the life out of the sound system right through to the end of the track. As with all Minus EPs, there’s a cold logic running through this body of work that may not be immediately apparent by just dropping the needle casually on each track. “R U OK” is a collection that demands detailed consideration and will no doubt make a timeless companion for any DJ.

“Papercup”, by Sleeparchive, is lucky number seven in the Sleeparchive series, and it’s a wee belter. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tracks and while Mr Archive is hardly putting that old cliché to bed, we still like it – love it even. The reverb is perfectly tweaked, the groove is subtly jacking and the white noise is all over the shop. He’s really carving his place into the techno hall of fame.

APPARAT, aka Berlin’s SASCHA RING, presents with “HOLDON” the first 12″ single from his great WALLS album coming in late may (strike 84, shitkatapult, InFiné).
“HOLDON” is a very special track as it shows all of Apparat´s talents in best shape: broken beats, pop music and nowadays club and electronica production merge together perfectly. The 12″ vinyl also includes remixes by Apparat´s close friends:
FUNKSTÖRUNG follow up project CHRIS DE LUCA VS. PHON.O – who deliver a big stomping fat hit remix, hiphop, beats, endless flow that let you think of Timbaland and vocals by RAZ OHARA who sounds like being born for this track. Chris and Carsten underlined the hiphop and pop appeal idea of the original.
MODESELEKTOR, who had a very busy last year after their HELLO MUM album on bpitch control, bring the noise – like a speedy j-t.raumschmiere nightmare of hiphop.
The flip side features an exclusive extended mix of the album track “FRACTALES”, which showcases Apparat´s perfect skills on the dancefloor. “FRACTALES”, will satisfy all club/techno djs world wide !!!!!!!

The influence of International Deejay Gigolos can hardly be
overestimated. Early Gigolo releases from artists such as
MISS KITTIN & THE HACKER or CHRISTOPHER JUST were a turningpoint in the musical tastes of so many; winning over many new listeners to the electro sound. Having recently passedthe 200 releases milestone, in 2007 Gigolo celebrates 10
years on the edge of the ever expanding horizon that is
electronic music and digital culture.
Where would the world of electronic music be without International Deejay Gigolo Records? Fact is the musical landscape would look verydifferent than it does today. Much imitated, never equalled- Gigolo has paved the way for hundreds of labels and artists and earned countless copycats along the way. But the Gigolo concept, just like its visionary DJ HELL, is a true original.CD TEN sees the dawning of a new chapter in a label that has made musical history.

Dachshund is now considered as the Geneva city’s techno scene top new comer but has a long experience in sound making. His love for music first led him to play in a reggae band and then dub happened to be the real revelation.

A 5 star choice clubber meal for sure!
