Pre-Release: 10/6/2009
General Release: 10/27/2009


SPEC0907 – Ascion & D. Carbone “Shaved” Spectrum Recordings UK – TECHNO
Spectrum Recordings returns after the summer months with a fantastic deep dark two tracker to take us into those shorter nights of the year from Italian duo Ascion & Davide Carbone. The a side 'Shaved' is a stripped down dubby groover, with eerie vocal stabs and spacey edits. This has a seriously tripped out vibe, which is perfect for the after hours, but still with more then enough punch to work at peak time, with some layered percussion or effects. The flip side 'Spectral Town' is a minimal funky track, superbly produced and once again perfect for the after hours. A very cool and classy record from a label stamping its mark on the scene, and still only in its first year of releasing music. Look out for future releases from Ramon Tapia, Gui Boratto and Alan Fitzpatrick... Big things to come!

GrooveSource Cycle 172

Pre-Release: 9/29/2009
General Release: 10/20/2009


DFD019 – Jonra “Telephone Man EP” DesignForms – TECHNO/DEEP HOUSE
Revolution ( deep house)
What do we love most about black licorice pizza? Why, all the different toppings, of course! And for this slice, selector and sequencor extraordinairre Jonra Babi- (racki if you're nasty) takes it down a notch and reminds us that, as much as we love to dance, we must chill. This is the one you always put on after the club, the voice of calm after a chaotic day, or on homemade compilations so your friends can hear how deep you like to go.

Dr Filth vs Octomom (techno)
Upon examination, Dr. Filth vs. Octomom is one serious psych session. For this track, Freud is disregarded and lithium is no cure for the clinically-insane bassline, industrial clangs, and twisting noise effects brought forth from deep in the chaos of Jonra Babiracki's noggin.

Faith (techno)
Techno magnus Jonra Babiracki shows us his spiritual side on Faith. That is, like the name implies, he is keeping the faith by sticking true to the sick old days (with a twist, of course). This track stomps, clicks, wobbles and slithers down a bass-lined O.G.techno tunnel. You'll find yourself wondering what event will you be at when called upon to dance to this track? It's a question of faith.

Feedback:
Orde Meikle (Slam/Soma) - hard as nails - end of night madness
anthony shakir - very technno-ey sounding chicago release.
Alland Byallo - Cool stuff from Jonra. LA!
jim masters - 3 deep journeys into darkness
Aubrey - Love the sound....great ep and production
C.Smooth - C.Smooth will spin it on his radio show Live from London on Nova Radio in Germany.
Matt Rissi - i like the overall tone of this tune... will definitely play it.
Ale Castro - Nice Tracks !!!


IRD012 – Dich “Finding Myself EP” Itinerant Records – TECHNO

Orde Meikle (Slam/Soma) - dark deep moody
Aubrey - Yeah good job...great ep..thanks
antonio pocai (Wagon repair - tenax recordings) - Deep !!!


DIFD038 – Zarbeat “Fantasmoso” Difusion – MINIMAL
Like the old good times back when difusion was just starting this is original track made by Zarbeat that after passing it over to the Difusion original members crew became a remixed EP. Three very talented mexican artists instantly became part of this project. The original track was composed by Zarbeat and it was influenced by pure 8 bit synths and gated kicks. Track number two was remixed by Difusion's very own Gusgo. This version of the track is the interpretation of this very talented artist showing his very complex beat programing and manipulation of virtual instruments driving the track into the dark alley of minimal techno. Track number three remixed by Maxson is completly full of 4x4 loops using his production skills he remastered each sample to achive maximum control over the track. A very bouncy track is the final product. Track number four was remixed by one of the most requested artis in mexico, Edgar Medina aka Transistor. His resulting mix is a very organic and spaced out track having new elements incorporated in to the 8 bit crazyness.

Feedback:
Orde Meikle - tough tough - super
aubrey - wow....great...love it
antonio pocai - nice pac man !!!
Lee Holman - gusgo mix best for me on this package! thanks again !

KGB021 – Nima Gorji “Groove Control” KGBeats – TECH-HOUSE
While Europe and it's American Colonies where marching to the drum of the minimal drummer, a new house scene was brewing in cities like Barcelona, Ibiza, Amsterdam, Chicago and Paris - it's the "going back to old school" scene that took you back to the future of the original booty shaking ways - where mighty Chicago house meets Mediterranean flavor and hot-blooded southern playboys got wild together with your slender offsprings of European burguase. In our book - players like Funk 'd Void, Nima Gorji, Martinez, Tanzmann, Wasted Chicago Youth were able to capture attention of the new clubbing generation as well as to suggest a strong case for return of the proper school! Today we are very pleased to offer you a pair of new tracks from one of our favorite artists. Nima had one of the best summers in the business playing only the hottest parties and releasing mega hits on Murmur, International Freakshow, Suburban tracks, Welt - From London to Istanbul - Nima's signature style of Mediterranean-influenced-tribal groovy house won over hearts and minds of clubbers around the world! We hope You will enjoy Nima Gorji's new offerings for KGBEATS.

NS010 – Udachi & Jubilee “Paypur” Nightshifters – ELECTRO HOUSE
We are so proud to present our next Ep, this time a collaborative effort between two of New York Cities Hottest DJ/producers Udachi and Jubilee! A beast of an Ep, Paypur features two incredible original tracks by the duo and five stunning remixes, and seeing how the tracks are already being played by AC Slater, Fake Blood, and Tommy Sunshine (to name a few), we think we have one of THE releases of the summer!

An original old-school Florida raver, Jubilee has been tearing up Dj sets across the USA this year on two coast-to-coast tours, and co-hosts the Brooklyn monthly Flashing Lights party with Nick Catchdubs and Dj Ayres. Anyone who has seen her play can attest to her skills and deep understanding of how to launch a party into a frenzy. Similarly, Udachi builds on his old-school rave past as a producer and DJ, and has made a big splash this year with his solo productions and remixes for Audio Bullys, AC Slater, and M83.

And while the two original tracks featured here are both quite simply amazing, the remixes are equally incredible. Nick Catchdubs enlists hot-as-fuck lyricist Daytona to re-construct Paypur into a screwed dirty south style filled with swagger, Venezuela's Cardopusher pushes the bass to the maxx in his mosh-pit-dubstep remix of the same tune, while Thunderheist's Grahmzilla flips the vibe into an expansive techno affair ready for your next sunrise session. Breakbeat hardcore legend Luna-C turns Smoke Rings into a dub-bass filled rave anthem of the next level, and while a rave vibe can also be felt in DreSkull's incredible remix, he pushes up the Funky snares and adds a sinister breakdown that's sure to get shirts flung off the dance floor.

Feedback:

DGRS001 – FDK “Under Sol E.P.” DG Label – MINIMAL
The first release for the DG Label Reverse Series features FDK for all of the analogue deep minimal techno prowlers. FDK tunes bring the light and the most out of a rhythm. This duo's talents are on full display as they unleash modern sounds that do nothing but emote throughout their length while the beat pounds away in the background. This "Under Sol EP" provides just the right amount of atmosphere within it's sparse surroundings.

Feedback:
Oscar G (Space/Nervous) - love how it continues to build..

4TRK021 – DJ Hyperactive “Reptilian Tank Revisited” 4 Track Records – TECHNO
The story began on DJ Hyperactive's Chicago based label Contact in 1996. At the time the release only saw the light of day on vinyl but soon thereafter and 10,000 units sold the track that carried the EP, Reptilian Tank, gets it's first re-working on the Uppercut label run by Frankie Vega. The Original Noise Maker release didn't slow down the momentum the single track had and nearly 20 years later we're at it again giving you another pair of remixes from two of the busier techno producers in the US. Audio Injection settles into the smog induced control room and transports back in time and cracks the code of the 101 that did all the heavy lifting on the original and conjures up a different dialect of the original warping, lfo laiden, synth assault reminiscent of the original with a bit more effects and sinister kick. Submerge 101's mix comes out of the gate with a heavy swinging percussion ensemble to quickly turn the corner with a rolling synth line to keep the energy peaking. The arrangement builds on layers of original elements until the ugly beast rears it's head again after a decade of hibernating!

Feedback:
laurent garnier - "will bang the box with the original mix Great dancefloor monster"
ORDE MEIKLE - BEEN A SUPPORTER FROM THE START - THOUGH SHIT - THANX

ANM020 – Tony Senghore “Fork / Knife” Anonyms – ELECTRO HOUSE
It is footloose, forward thinking and quite often a bit odd. Sprinkled with curiosity for exploring new ways to the purpose of making people shuffle their tired feet. Pugnacious, belligerent and slightly gung-ho with a definite taste for blood. What do we speak of you ask? Well it could only be the music of Tony Senghore. Tony has a diverse discography that counts up in the hundreds. It is colourful and full of contrasts. Never reluctant, always different. Out side of his own productions, remix treatment has been given to a wide range of artists like Bodyrox, Audiobullys, Lady Sovereign, Ladytron, Bent, Til West, Portobella, Syndicated People, John Dahlback, and many more.

IM040 – Audio Injection “Interface Activated” Impact Mechanics – TECHNO
Audio Injection is making serious moves in 2009, and this newest original production shouldn't do anything but continue to build his reputation. Aside from the fact that I loved the last release "Cell Injection" Audio Injection provided Impact Mechanics with Three appealing tracks. A colossal, slice of driving techno, while "Ministax" is a similarly dance floor destroyer. "Freak the box" leads off the B Side with a strenuous, straight techno killer, featuring underlying beats, sinister bassline and wicked undertones. The EP wraps up with featured track "Interfaced Activated", a hard percussion affair, with a long tension building breakdown and ton of rugged flavor. Class material all around.

Feedback:
Richie Hawtin - download for R Hawtin
Dubfire – Excellent! Download.
alex bau - nice one!

RCP021 – Teef “Dirt” RaceCarProductions – TECHNO
Born in Scotland in 1985, Andrew Bowen (Teef) was influenced by the early electronic sound of the UK which led him to start making music at the early age of 16 using a program called Acid Pro. He then cycled through many genres including Drum and Bass and IDM. Finally he settled on the sounds of techno, specifically the sound of Sweden and stripped down minimal. His music relies on soaring basslines and addictive and catchy melodies. Moreover, he is inspired by charting his own path. He delights in finding his own sounds and his own styles. Teef now resides in Ohio and has just made the move to Race Car Productions. His introduction is a new remix of Evan Scott's Onosphere set to release in late November; however, his first single entitled The Substitute is ready and being played by a select few to great review. We welcome Teef, our muse, to the label and expect him to forge new paths and keep everyone guessing.

Feedback:
laurent garnier - great tripy acidic monster ep will play a lot
Dubfire - Excellent
michel de hey - nice oldskool with new flavour
DJ Hyperactive – dirty 5/5
Chris Udoh - All Around this ep Sounds really cool

General Release: 9/8/2009

A7014 – Aubrey “Aqua Warrior EP” A7 Records – TECHNO
A7 is the new label by long time player in the Techno world Aubrey of the UK label Solid Groove Records. With over 20 years making underground music on his own, four vinyl labels Solid Groove, Textures, Dark, and Super Disco Fakes he has clocked up over 75 vinyl releases.

A7, was set up to re-release Aubrey's older unreleased material, but this release is a groundbreaking 4 tracker of new music! His first since 2003!!!

Aqua Warrior is a serious mix of Chicago and Detroit techno / house with touches of deep house and driving beats. African Song is a track in the style of Aubrey's deep house label Textures but with a fatter and more dubbed out style. Wanna Do That is a nervous, deep, pounding acid track for 2009. Play this at your own peril, with its deep bass and twisted sounds its on par with his classic track Marathon on Leftfield's Offshoot. Rounding out the package is Beat The Clock. This is a more upbeat track aimed at the underground dancefloor with heavy audio edits and acid lines, this will be sure to work in a lot of situations.

This ep is a refreshing mix of old school and new school recorded to the max quality. With Aubrey remixes coming up of Marky Star (feat Tyree Cooper) and a remix for Dimitri Pike (Wildtek Concept) on the desk, plus a vinyl reissue coming in November this year of his classic Dark 4 with remixes by Mike Parker (Geophone recs) and PendleCoven(Modern Love) this looks like a come back from a long overlooked artist.

SC002 – Aaron Chase “Touch” Supa Cutz – ELECTRO HOUSE
The second release on Charles Feelgood's label Supacutz Recordings features an original offering from Chicagos own Aaron Chase. Chase being a producer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist his talents definitely shine through with this release. Aaron describes his sound as "electronic industrial" and these influences really come though on "Touch". With dark, distorted vocals and dirty synth lines, Touch brings forth some serious attitude to the dancefloor.

The first remix is by Chicago based DJ/producer Brian Boncher aka "Breakdown B". Boncher drops some serious funk on the remix. With absolutely sick synth lines, chunky, jackin beats and dope edits on the vocal, this one will cause some serious damage on the dancefloor.

Next up is a remix by South African DJ/producer Raymond Mather. Remixing such acts as Defunct! and Kyle Watson not to mention releases on labels such as Destination?, Junky Trunk and Champion Beats, Mather has put out some serious fidget house tunage and this remix is no different. With jackin beats, dirty ass fidget basslines and some seriously insane breakdowns this one is a must for any fan of fidget.

Last up is a slammin remix by Los Angeles based DJ/producer Jayvon. This one is serious peak time gear. Bangin electro beats, funky samples and crazy edits give this remix an insane vibe that will create havoc in any peak time set.

Another diverse release from Charles Feelgood's label that showcases talent from the US and abroad. From pumpin electro to jackin techno house to fidget and back this release will appeal to djs across the board.
