A late edition here...

IM031 Monque & Monotek "Hell EP" Released 1/13/09
An Amazing debut on Impact Mechanics for the Italian dual, Monque and Monotek. The original mix of "Hell" is one of the most gripping pieces of techno that has not been heard in years. Lush pads, thick analog chords and compelling riffs that will rip apart any dance floor, in the most musical way possible. Add the killer remixes by Drumcode's own Dustin Zahn, Angel Alanis & Foursquare and Alexx Iuliano" all the tracks have deep basslines with minimal, driving beats, depth charge stabs and lush undertones that do some serious damage. This release is absolutely colossal. For all those Alex Under fans this is a must!

PMP is proud to bring you the second installation of the LINWOOD SERIES. This release has three new remixes of the ANDY TOTH original. The first is a deep cut by PMP regular ITZONE, from Mexico City. Itzone's remix is an ethereal take on the original, with a groovy triplet feel and flighty top-end sound effects. The JOSHUA HARRISON remix is a clean joint with a heavy bass line and a new syncopated synth line over the top. KEITH KEMP adds his signature textures to the upbeat on his remix, and reinterprets the vocals to create a feel that's entirely fresh. Drop any of these tracks next time you need to fill the dance floor. Also keep an eye out for PMP013, with new tracks by COLIN ZYSKOWSKI!

Mossmoss brings a breath of fresh air to a club scene that is usually bent on taking itself too seriously. Scottish born, Mattie Bowen has been essential in the growth of techno and actively inspires audiences through art visually and aurally. His pursuits all deeply exude a level of class, compassion, and charisma. His own breed of minimal techno born from the bedrooms and studios of San Francisco offers a hint of a vast repertoire to come that inspires the mind and body simultaneously. Mossmoss was one of three artists featured on Race Car Productions Volume 1, their virgin effort. Since then he released an absolute powerhouse of a remix for Monocle's Dilleniidae which stole dancefloors the world over in 2007. With a wide open career in both art and music, and a new EP on Alland Byallo's NLMX net label, Mossmoss will become a household name.

Aubrey – “Yeah cool. Will use.” 5 out of 5

Techno De Ultra Tumba is the first project from Kid Perra for Difusion Records. Kid Perra are two talented artists from San Luis Potosi, Mexico who were destined to make music together. This was a very interesting project which was sent to us a few months back and put on hold to be structured and mastered due to the high content of fat bass lines, deep kicks and strong sequences. We find a very intense dark side on all four tracks, dark minimal techno 100 % dance floor oriented. This four-tracker has been extracted from Kid Perra live sets which have received rave reviews all over Mexico. Zarbeat has collaborated on this EP and also remixed Mascador De Fierro showing his dark side.

Angel Alanis and Foursquare - "Drama Club"

Angel Alanis and Foursquare's track "Drama Club" has had a life of it's own as of late. Recorded during the summer, the piece has found new fanbase after a couple of high profile rebirths. Dropped by Dave Clarke at the peak of I Love Techno 2008 (and on White Noise Radio) and now recharted by Ken Ishii, this track seems to be everywhere. You can download it from Beatport at Beatport!. Check it out and see what fans like Laurent Garnier, DJ FEX, Xpansul and more are raving about!

Christmas Break Delays

Dear Labels,

Lots of stores are understaffed [drunk in a gutter] for the duration of the holidays and as a result, we anticipate sparse and sporadic content related issues all the way through the middle of January. We have worked as far in advance as possible to preclude any problems related to live dates and minimize other issues [wanton alcoholism] related to the holidays. We believe that we have cut most of the delays off with planning, but a stray few issues may slip through with store staff being unavailable [unconscious] to make late changes or fixes to deliveries.

Thanks in advance for your patience [resentment] and good holiday spirits [drunkenness] with regard to this issue.

Everyone have a great and safe holiday!

Home to classics like Steve Poindexter's "Computer Madness" and Robert Armani's "Ambulance" as well as cutting edge voices from American techno. It is precisely that voice that he bring to Klientele, the first official communication from Angel Alanis and Foursquare since remixing Portishead's "Third" in its entirety. Submerge's "The Drive" is a strong follow up for the first singles for the label, one of which ("Drama Club") was a finale highlight of Dave Clarke's triumphant set at I Love Techno 2008.

After the long awaited return, DJ Hyperactive jumps back in the game with what many have missed over recent years which the tougher, less endearing side of his production. The man from the Windy City lets loose the first of many projects to come bringing you two mixes of the self titled release, Music Box. Both tracks start quick and get to where they want to go wasting no time. With a rumbling synth bline, that quickly and relentlessly warps into cross a between Dominator and Luke Slater's Forklift. The kick, clap, well if you know Hyperactive, we'll leave it at that. The hats do their own dance and pierce through the speakers in a syncopated flurry reminiscent of Hyperactive's Venus track on Missile!

Bear Who? That man behind international hit "Fix My Sink" which hit the UK billboard & BBC radio charts for 13 straight weeks, brings his next hit to Chicago based Dust Traxx label, which in the course of 10 years has managed to release some of the biggest names in house music today. The "Beatbox Album" is a "futuristic" digital get-down mixed with sexy ladies, sweaty dancefloors and steamy hot beats. It's seduction without romance, penetration without pretense, this is the future sound of hip hop with a house edge, let's face it "sweat" (=sex) sells and that is exactly what you'll get here. Mind crushing pop music from the future. Whether it's the percolating synth stabs and frantic stuttering rhythm or the crisp scratched chicken-greasy funk, there's certainly something for everybody! This is dance music with no boundaries, no limits and dares to go where most haven't dared to explore; the result: infectious hooks and contagious rhymes make this an album to remember!

10,000 watts will become one of the hottest producers on the techno scene! This exceptional 2-track EP for Impact Mechanics will only further solidify there standing in the industry. "Roll" is up first. It combines a straight, driving drum kicks, with synth stabs and rolling bass lines, this track engulfs you as it slowly, yet surely takes over your mind. "Roll" is next and does some similar things, although this time adds some tripped out pads and an even grittier drum track, which is even more energetic and commanding, with relentless beats, subtle and several massive, tension building drops. This EP is strictly for the headstrong and those looking to rip apart the dance floor!

Jon Pegnato and Matty Scoll team up to provide you with a drum oriented, bassbin rocker that will beat any speaker into submission. Fairly stripped, yet heavy, this track focuses on a thumpin kick and jackin percussion, leaving room for the DJ to scratch or throw their favorite accapella over top.

New Info on Mechanicals, Pricing and more from Beatport

"Dear Label Partners,

In January, Beatport will celebrate its five year anniversary. Along with our business planning for 2009, Beatport is announcing some enhancements to our business that better reflect the needs of both our label partners as well as our loyal customers. These changes are in response to the issues brought to us by our labels partners and customers over the past few weeks.
Changes for Labels:

Mechanical Royalties: In the past weeks Beatport has heard concerns raised by our labels about music publishing monies. These labels were concerned that Beatport would seek repayment from them as Beatport itself has been forced to make retroactive payments by the music publishing rights societies on downloads made since Beatport.com was launched. In response to these concerns and in the spirit of unity and a sign of good faith, Beatport is announcing that it will relieve our label partners from all mechanical royalty back-payment liabilities prior to Q3 2008 for the territory of the world excluding the United States. For all labels, this represents an average bonus of about 10% of the total sales price generated by track downloads. Even though the legal responsibilities have always been clearly defined in our existing contracts, we understand that the practical impact of potential back payment liabilities would be time consuming and chaotic for many labels.
Commencing with the period Q3 2008, for sales throughout the world, excluding the US, Beatport will deduct the music publishing royalties payable on downloads from all labels and remit it to the applicable music publishing rights collection society. For sales within the US, Labels will still be responsible for paying all music publishing royalties to the appropriate parties as is contemplated in the Beatport content contract.
Standard Label Agreements: As an additional concession towards our label partners, Beatport has decided to dispose of the allowable expenses charge starting Q2 of 2009. These changes will be stated in a new agreement, which will need to be signed by all label partners prior to that start of Q2 of 2009 in order for this change to be effective.
Exclusive Label Agreements: For our exclusive label partners, we will be offering a more flexible time frame for the sale of exclusive content on Beatport. As with the Standard Label Agreement, the Exclusive Label Agreement will also have any provision for allowable expenses removed and the current higher split of Net Revenues shall remain in place regardless of the agreed exclusivity time frames. Further details will be announced in the coming weeks.
Changes for Customers:

New Pricing: In an effort to stay ahead of the changing global economy, Beatport is making proactive adjustments to its content pricing strategy in the European and UK markets. The new prices are a reflection of the rapidly changing digital environment and the greater economic challenges our customers are facing. Effective Wednesday December 03, 2008, prices will be as follows:
Exclusive Classic / New Release General
USD $2.49 $1.99 $1.49
GBP £1.73 £1.30 £1.12
EUR €2.17 €1.56 €1.30

Lastly, while there may be tough economic conditions worldwide, Beatport will continue to defend the value of your music against market forces that benefit from discounting or stealing your content. Beatport is continuously monitoring unusual shopping behavior, blacklisting customers who purchase to upload music for free downloads and processing take down notices with music blog sites worldwide on a weekly basis.
As always, we are grateful for your partnership and continued support in our efforts to support electronic music around the world.
Beatport Management "
