Review: A very mysterious release from Berlin, produced by Torsten Pröfrock of the Hardwax crew. Along with Robert Henke, Torsten is one half of the infamous Monolake production team. The sound is deep, textured and rich. Two tracks that will appeal greatly to fans of Deep Chord and Basic Channel etc, but it has that little something extra, pushing it a little bit further. It's very good and is one of those that will be remembered for years to come. If ever the term "future classic" was apt, that time is now. Recommended.

Review: This weapons grade follow up could well be knocking on as a prime contender for single of the year.

Review: The long awaited return of Rick Wilhite, Marcellus Pittman, Theo Parrish and Kenny Dixon Jr. (aka Moodymann), four of Detroit's hottest musicians jamming on live instruments in one studio. The 3 Chairs are back with three new tracks.

Review: A great compilation EP with some beautiful techno tracks. Deep driving percussive techno tracks with nice warm and emotional strings. Amazing tracks for the mind and soul, but without forgetting your ass and feet! A lovely release.

Review: Another beautiful record with some of the nicest techno ever made. Nice warm techno tracks with its roots in Detroit but with its flowers growing in the Eastern parts of Germany.

Review: "Deep In Mind" is a nice EP from this stunning label, Styrax Leaves. This is deep, dubby techno with warm sounds that seem to keep on going forever. It is for all the cats who can't get enough of that addictive sound of Deepchord, Maurizio and Basic Channel.

Review: Redshape's profile is still rapidly growing. Bearing in mind that it has been just over one year since Redshape's first EP was released on Delsin - a lot of things have happened! This new EP, "Steam", comes in clunky and rough. "Light" is a deeply beatless synth excursion while the flip brings more hot stuff. This is catchy stuff.

Review: Vivid Trax brings you 'Lovelee Dae' from Blaze, with amazing new 2007 electro house & deep
house mixes by Bioground & Subsy. Will be one of this year hottest summer house & Ibiza tunes.

Review: "Allied" is dynamic breakbeat techno from T++ on Erosion.

Review: Chymera's debut for Ovum, "Umbrella", is a power packed release with remixes by the legendary Funk D'Void and Spooky. The original mix of "Umbrella" is a beautiful deep techno journey. The track has a very emotional feel and is clearly influenced by the sounds of Detroit. Funk D'void steps in on the remix and pumps the energy up, making this a stormer. On the b-side Spooky funks the track out with a synth bass line that completely changes the vibe. This is an amazing package and should be rocking the dancefloors all summer.

Review: Syncom Data Records delivers three excellent new takes of the excellent, genre-defying and astounding "Beyond The Stars". Speedy J takes off with a deep, dark and minimal techno track from the industrial realms of Rotterdam. This will freak the crowds. Syncom Data go as deep as they can with the pulsating, low-end, trippy "SD Mix". Finally Legowelt proves his love for dirty, pumping Chicago jack with this constantly rising techno mix that builds to a superb climax that will lift the roof and rock the floor.

Review: Boundzound's 'Louder' on Warner repress features brilliant Henrik Schwarz vocal & dub, Martin Buttrich mix and All Mighty Club mix.

Review: In the last four years, Dominik Eulberg has been releasing on his native label Traum. His previous nine 12"s have made him quite a hotbed for music, which has lead to an international following of his unique style of "wild life techno" To copy him seems impossible, as there is no other DJ/producer who can represent this style so authentically. The influence of nature and his domestic grounds, the bird twitter and nature sounds in general have made his music easy to identify with. The "Heimische Gefilde" (native habitat) LP takes the concept of his debut album "Flora & Fauna" a step further and at the same time is a retrospective of his major hits. Dominik Eulberg's music is much more that just a straight bass drum enriched with samples. Every track is presented and each animal is introduced by Dominik, expressed in a lyrical, almost poetic form. Nature does it all by itself as Dominik states.

Review: From the studio of Scott Grooves comes this exclusive repress for Clone of this very hard-to-find house track, "The Journey". This was originally released in 2004 and responsible for countless joyful moments on dancefloors worldwide. On the flip you'll find the beats mix. This was used on Carl Craig's Fabric mix album and with big support from Ame, Dennis Ferrer, Sydenham, Omar S, DJ Rolando, Charles Webster and many others. Glad to see "The Journey" finally available again.

Review: New from tech house producer Adryan, "The Jazzer" features some distinctive one-note organ stabs that drive the tune nicely, with uplifting beats propelling it even further. Russ Gabriel's mix is almost unrecognisable at first, keeping the vibe more intense and hypnotic as the bassy strings grow and swell over the top of a nu-disco beat. "Slight Return" is another winner that winds itself down to just the barest keys and then builds up again.

Review: The success story of the two guys from Karlsruhe Kristian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann (aka Ame) is showing no signs of waning. Having led the annual charts of Groove and De:Bug magazines, provided Pete Tong with a single of the month and even making a DJ mix for said DJ's BBC show, the Essential Selection. Their hit "Rej" has been christened by Louie Vega and Danny Krivit (Masters At Work) as the "Plastic Dreams" of the new millennium. So here is their first official mix-compilation! Their DJ sets are currently being celebrated everywhere from Miami to Paris and Helsinki, so it was only a matter of time until they immortalized one of their kicking mixes for home use on an official mix album. Sonar Kollektiv label bosses Jazzanova delivered the first in this "...Mixing" series and in so doing earned worldwide thanks for making one of their eclectic DJ sets available in digital format for the first time. The duo from Karlsruhe selection is no less varied as they switch from old to new, through house, disco, minimal and techno. Synth pioneer Laurie Spiegel, who already presented a prototype of the Detroit techno sound in the 70s, sets things off with her "Appalachian Grove 1" which was written in Fortran (an old computer programme, long before Basic or C). The unusual track "24 Hours From Culture II" from 80s Dutch wave band New Musik is to this day a favourite of DJs like Daniele Baldelli and DJ Harvey. He later also used the classic "Woman Of The World" by Swiss group Formation Double on his legendary "Sarkastic Disco" mix. "Stand Up" from Nexus could easily be mistaken for a Metro Area number. Besides Ame another name that is often being mentioned with regards to the deephouse renaissance is Henrik Schwarz. His most striking remix to date is also his most timeless. The way he accentuates the voice of Robert Owens with opulent strings on Coldcut's "Walk A Mile" means it'll still give you goose bumps in ten years. Ben Westbeech is the star of Gilles Petersons new label Brownswood Records. His track "So Good Today" unites the typical Yoruba style with analogue Chicago sounds. God of remixers, Carl Craig's version of Jonny L's This "Time" was previously only available as a promo so for some the search for this jazz, house and techno hybrid ends with this release. The latest addition to the Innervisions label which Âme started with Dixon is Gilb'R & I:Cube (aka Chateau Flight). Their wide tune "Baroque" makes the perfect bridge to Luciano's "Stone Age" which has been a central part of the Ame DJ set for over two years so could not have been left out of this collection. "Flashback 86" sounds, as the title suggest, as though it might have been made in the late 80s, however actually it is produced by Jonathan Burnip who can otherwise be found behind the counter of London's Soul Jazz record store. Derrick May's Funtopia featuring Jimi Polo remix was also previously only available as a promo. It was given to Ame by Dominic Capello, manager of Glasgow's Sub Club. Of course Ame's own breakthrough track, "Nia", must be celebrated once more before it gets slightly quieter, although no less exciting, with Jump Cutz "Deep Introspection #5". This track is another true classic and favourite of Needs Crew that has long been almost impossible to get. And as true Manuel Gottsching fans Ame of course had to include an Ashra number in the mix. Their track "Sunrain" has been a big influence on the club music of today. As a whole, Ame's "...Mixing" is not just a bridge between old and new, club and home stereo. It also serves as an interesting connection between various musical genres which are currently dominating the good metropolitan clubs.

Review: Leeds based duo Death On The Balcony return to Seven Music after dropping their 'Party Perspectives' EP on the label in March of this year. Mark Caramelli and Paul Hargreaves have been busy boys over the last few years, releasing on esteemed labels such as Culprit, Pets, Silver Network and Airdrop. Their years of experience as DJ's and record collectors shines through in the pair's productions, but what sets the guys apart from the rest of the rat race is the amount of depth and emotion they manage to pack into their tracks. Music that will easily stand the test of time and sound equally as good on the dancefloor, as it will on the headphones! The 'Audio Escapades' EP is arguably the duo's best work to date. We're sure you'll agree.
