Heads up, maestro of electronic music is doing a record on Dixon’s Innervisions label.As reported by the label boss himself in his recent Under The Gun on RA he signed one of the tracks instantly as Laurent Garnier dropped it at a party at Berlin’s Panoramabar. That’s also where its name originates. “Panoramix” is the name of the b-side, a weird psychedelic groover. I’m not sure if this should be called house or techno, it’s actually somewhere in between but should definitely work fine sometime after midnight, when the crowd is already drenched in sweat. The other side covers the housy side of things, with a warm groove and a more punchy rhythm, but it’s nevertheless equipped with the same bizarreness. To be dropped on 19th May and I’m sure this is gonna cause quite a stir…

Time goes by quickly, but at least I was able to deliver my tracks (and albums) of the month before it ends. Well, you can go to the charts section and check it out. My definite album of the month must be Aaron Jerome’s “Time To Rearrange” (which I already mentioned earlier on this blog post). There are some really nice gems on there. Despite I’m actually a house dj (at least that’s what i would call myself) it is rather non-housy, to be honest, there’s not a single house track on there…

The other stuff though is mostly straight 4-to-the-floor. I think i don’t have to emphasize the Carl Craig release, self-explanatory. Unlike the Kelly Polar album, which might be rather unfamiliar to the scene yet, judging from the media presence I’ve recognized so far. There’s however a good reviews at Pitchfork.

Another one I’d like to point out is Modern Walker’s release on recently launched Sensual Touch Recordings. Bouquet Of Stars, which was already featured on Essen City’s Supercity compilation, is now beeing accompanied by another fluffy deep groover called First Touch, which is also the name of the EP. Great stuff! Last but not least if you’re into deep, mellow kind of stuff, Joe Rizla’s “Jost One Night” will do it for you. A perfect smooth, ambient vocal track for the (hopefully soon) upcoming spring days.

I don’t know if you have been to this guy’s Myspace profile yet, but if you’re in a kind of laidback mood right now, you should give it a try. Just listen to the tracks on his player and melt away in the beauty of his melancholy, moody, epic, gorgeous piano productions… Why does this stuff not come out as 12″? I’d buy it.

If you’re someone who tunes into radio shows every now and then you have probably heard of the Deeper Shades Of House Radio show on XM Radio - The Move. This weekly quality broadcast of finest deep house music is hosted by Lars Behrenroth who does now raise his musical brand to higher level by - almost logically - launching his very own label.

The first release comes from his buddy and only Deeper Shades resident Jojo Flores and Joe DiPadova. And the title “Yes Smoke” already kind of reveals the ambience of the track: Very lush, clubby, percussion driven, and - hell yeah - SMOKY madness. Definitely the type of music i want to hear in the club. The track can already be purchased on Traxsource or of course on the Deeper Shades site itself. Looking forward to see more stuff like this coming up there in the future.

… and with this in your box you can probably not go wrong when it comes to making the crowd go wild. Three stunning tracks by Milton Jackson, Square One and Manuel Tur, each very successfull appraoches on creating outstanding clubtunes.

My favourite is Manuel Tur’s “Boxed Rivers” but as i said you can’t go wrong with any of the tracks. Very well selected deep house / tech house quality. I will be curious about what part 2 has to offer… (more…)

I was just looking for a decent picture to illustrate where i got my track of the month from. I’m talking about the second part of Gilles Peterson’s In The House Series On Defected and the track i’m referring to is Peter Kruder’s “Coste” or “Nu Costes Jazz” as called in several versions.

Anyway, it’s on this vinyl and i really love that track. Very cool, afro-rhythm driven deep house tune with oriental strings. But also did i find a video about Gilles Peterson and his massive record collection, recorded by someone of Defected Records. (more…)
