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…

Lee Van Dowski Myspace
www.bpitchcontrol.de
France-born Lee Van Dowski presents an awesome statement on the Berlin-based
label BPitch Control with the catalogue number 173, called “The Last Run”.
Within the last two years, the Geneve-based DJ and Producer has been releasing
various records on well known labels such as Cadenza, Soma, Dumb Unit, Num Records,
60sec or Plak, just to name a few. Even as head of his young family, he does not slow
down. In the contrary: he is in demand as he has never been before. Besides innumerable
music productions and remixes, he plays himself regularly and unerringly into the
hearts of exited club visitors worldwide. His passion is (and always will be) electronic
music! True to his motto ´actions speak louder than words´, he pushes things forward
and lets his music talk.With his current single “The Last Run” there is brand new
material dedictated to the club landscape: PLAY IT LOUD!
A :The Last Run
Influenced and shaped by classical British Warp and Rephlex electronica, the A-side
is structured quite complex and moves forward bubbling and grooving. The track
developes slowly and steadily; but the end brings our hearts to beat strongly with his
fat and organically beats.
B: Rave Da House
Apparently, the flip-side starts more relaxed and housy than the A-side; but nevertheless,
this track rocks us down to the ground. The sound is a bit more clean and organized,
but for this reason it possesses an unbelievable hypnotic effect.
////
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”
