For CLR057 sonic wizard Brian Sanhaji from Frankfurt and Southern California´s techno champ Drumcell teamed up to create a mighty big four track EP featuring "Split" and "Structure", two brand new original tracks with their corresponding dub versions. Even for people who are familiar the work of both of the renowned producers, listening to this release will surely end up to be a pleasantly surprising experience.
The outstanding productions combine many characteristics at the same time. They are diversified and intelligent, aggressive but funky and sound simultaneously brilliant and dirty. Both artists are known for pushing the limits of their gear in the studio as well as playing out live, and you can literarily feel the fun they had when they were producing this memorable EP. CLR057 is an explosion of good energy and a faultless manifestation of mind-bending techno.

The restless take a remix break! With their Formatik 008, Format:B presents three artists- each taking on a title of their current album to knit them in their own manner. At the head the berlin buddies Pan Pot, shake the A1 with a breeze of rave-charm as usual right out of their sleeve, rocking the track "Liquid" to it's climax then glazing the peak with the smooth voice of Fran. On B1 DJ PP accelerates. Gabriel Rocha is how he's called in real life, is one of the South-American stars of the scene, who's being celebrated by heavy-weight producers like Mark Knight. He's not only home in Uruguay but also in the Beat-Port charts, delivering an energetic Remix of "Oversexed". Last but not least: the winner of the remix-contest in which Format:B has listened through a house-high pile of promos is Tobi Kramer- a young artist of the neighborhood, who has been casted showing his talent by making out of "Socks and Sandals" one more time a club-hit.

Stefan Goldmann's "Adem" finally brings a new concept of handling melodies to the world of House and Techno. Pushy synths tuned to Arabian intervals, playfully pitch bent around one repeated note that sticks to the kick as if it's life depends on it.
It's as if a parallel universe's Acid has been invented in some lunatic asylum in Tirana. This primitive melody is as alienatingly synthetic as it is offensively brain-dissolving. In the hands of a DJ, "Adem" is like the Captagon formula in the hands of the Bulgarian secret service: many deaths, big bucks. Chalga, Tallava, Manele - call it anything.
The B-side's "Rigid Chain" is as detuned, yet strictly limited to a rogue off-beat bassline pumping in between metallic house drums. That's it.

Phillipe Quenum, Cadenza co-founder and long-time dj & producer emerges on Serialism Records armed with a soulful, four-track EP just in time for Spring. Widely known for co-producing the 2003 hit, "Orange Mistake", as well as a myriad of other first-rate outputs, this gifted producer needs no introduction. Quenum's Another Day EP is right at home on Serialism, a label that's known for its consistent and classic dance-floor orientated releases from the likes of Frank Haag, Sierra Sam and Jin Choi. Laden with emotive, ascending synths, abyssal atmospheres and dubby basslines, this record is the true mark of a seasoned producer. From the percussive and texturized arrangement of Another Day to the Chicago inspired oscillating goodness of My Furious Thing, to the late night deep vibes of Everyday People to the nu-jazz flecked digital only Electric Prayer, Quenum knows how to evoke emotion on the dancefloor. Each track is the perfect backdrop for the onset of the Spring / Summer season, all four cuts melodic and deep, infused with elements of Chicago house, and touches of both soul and jazz. This timeless release further affirms Quenum's rightful place as one of the top producers in the game.

Souvenir is proud to present its 44th EP from a duo of Frankfurt's favourite sons, Chris Wood and Carsten 'Meat' Schuchmann.
Both Chris and Carsten have come up through Frankfurt's music scene, Chris with his long time residency at the infamous Monza club and Carsten having started the city's premier record shop Freebase, still going strong 18 years later. Trained as a studio engineer, Chris cut his chops under the wise wings of Pascal FEOS and joined forces with Meat, who held residencies at Cocoon and Robert Johnson. Last year they dropped the mighty 'Triple S' on Souvenir, which destroyed dance floors as far afield as Sao Paolo to Ibiza.
For this release they offer up another wild percussive workout in the form of the title track, something a little more syncopated on the humorously titled 'Dub Your Step' and a bonus track with an infectiously familiar little melody, not to forget a reimagining of the delirious A-side from the head honchos themselves, Tiefschwarz. 'JR Juniors' itself brings a distinct jungle-era drum palette, rough snares and claps hammering away while a chopped vocal raves it up, the slower house tempo doing little to lessen the frantic stabbing synthline's effect. The brothers Schwarz smooth things over, bring funkier, tribal drums, reducing the vocal to a reverberating echo that ducks and weaves around your headspace. The third track, is like a little woodpecker has just landed straight in your eardrum, pecking out an insistent, wriggling bassline with an off-kilter half-step beat to accompany the track's name. The digital only, is a pile of children's building blocks whose constituent parts slowly come together, with an extremely familiar little melody underpinning the solid drum work.

In no other year was the end of the world as fashionable as it is in 2012. But while Roland Emmerich has to dig knee-deep in trash and throw millions out the window for special effects gimmickry in order to bring drama to the screen, it only takes Sierra Sam a freshly made studio in our comforting Berlin-based Upon You refuge. A newcomer to our crew, this Belgian producer and label owner of Toys For Boys has already established his own decade-plus career, and his experience shines through clearly on UY059. The title track "Welcome to the Blackout" holds up not just on great production, but also from the mystical vocals that Paris The Black Fu offered for this release. That's why we've included the "a cappella" as a digital bonus, for the more adventurous DJs out there. For the flip side, Sierra Sam picked his English cohort Inxec - already known for his numerous releases on labels such as Cocoon, Cityfox, Contexterrior and currently Crosstown Rebels - for a fresh remix. Closing track "Chambers" seals the deal on this singing, ringing hit plastic disc that no survival kit should be without.

The third installment in the Cobblestone Jazz 12" series brings two more tracks.
On the A side we find "Who's Future?". Full of bubbling elastic bass and deep chord swells, it's a laidback affair with a snappy groove to push it along. On the flip is "Across the Nation", a stripped out and up-tempo electro jam with crisp breaks and gated pads. All the elements mingle together to create a thick bed of future funk. Another wheel for your wagon.
