Techno:

Cirez D - Laget? [Jericho]

Jericho Records continues its return to the forefront with this amazing new release from the hottest producer in dance music right now - Eric Prydz. Using his Cirez D moniker here Eric has created a sublime, deep yet pumping masterpiece with hints of Plan.

Uto Karem - Trentatre [SCI+TEC Digital Audio]

House:

Kerri Chandler - Computer Games - The Unreleased Files Expansion Pack 0.3 [Deeply Rooted House]

One of the highlights of Kerri Chandler's Computer Games album: "Fortran" gets remixed by Berlin's own Argy, 2 different versions there, the "6'23 mix" which should please any pure Detroit Techno/House fan.  And the "Detroit Big room" mix, heavier but still funky as hell! Each mix comes with a bonus dub for your mixing pleasure!

Johnny Fiasco - Conduction Remixes [Klassik Fiasco]

Golden Girls - Kinetic [Floorplay Music]

Minimal:

Onur Ozer - Kasmir Remixes [Vakant]

Hot off the heels of Onur Özer’s most excellent mind melt album Kasmir, released October of 2007, comes the reinterpretations on Vakant’s VR division. Wonderfully thought out, VR handles remixes exclusively leaving Vakant itself pure to its artists. This constellation leaves everyone free to the corruption of their fancy, allowing the artists to choose their own remixers.
With Onur, finding willing interpreters is not a difficult task and the heavy of the heavies representing the light and dark sides of the force are here on VR04. On the A side Loco Dice, aka Tunisian born Yassine Ben Achour, takes Onur’s instrument laden ‘Eclipse’ and puts it through the treatment. What comes out the other end is popping state-of-the-art tech house with Onur’s depth and Loco Dice’s spontaneous flow.
On the flip things get serious. Jens Zimmermann, the deep, deep, freak out master hailing from Frankfurt, contributes his own spin on ‘Sahara’. What already started out as a tweaked out twilight adventure gets even more spacey. Sitting somewhere between Cologne’s Studio 1, post intergalactic colonization, and seventh century Silk Road somewhere around Uzbekistan, his 15 minute “Wüstenmond” (Desert Moon) remix lives in its own antimatter reality.

Mark Broom, Mihalis Safras - Stone EP [Material]

Material Biggie from the hottest duo around! On the A side grand master Bart Skils does his superb tricks once more! On the B side the well known duet deliver a super hot 2 tracker which is already being played by everyone!! BLUE VINYL

Trance:

Zoo Brazil - The Age Of Love [Vendetta Records]

Tech House:

Duke Dumont - The Dominion Dubs EP [Dubsided]

Lets get straight to the point - as far as new U.K talent goes Duke Dumont is up there with the best of them. Currently riding high off the back of his outstanding Mystery Jets ‘Two Doors Down’ remix (surely a festival anthem?!) and DJ sets the globe over, Duke delivers his long-awaited Dubsided debut. Bringing a little originality and clout back to the box 'Hoy' sounds like nothing else out there at the moment… a full-on burst of reverberating Arabic horns and fervent drums whilst 'Feltham (The Borstal Beat)' is an unruly dancefloor belter with clever samples and a bovver boy bassline. The interludes between are snippets of studio flexin and point towards the depth and integrity of Duke’s debut album due soon… we can’t wait.
In 2006, Duke was crowned Diesel U Music champion, beating thousands of other producers to be considered the best unsigned producer in the world, by a host of music industry judges, including 2manyDJs. Previous winners include Mylo and DJ Yoda. Rising to prominence in 2007 with ‘Lean & Bounce’, featured on his debut EP ‘Regality’ on Turbo Recordings, Duke has also opened shows for The Prodigy and Basement Jaxx with his DJ sets and holds down regular gigs at the likes of Fabric, Razzmatazz and Bugged Out. Forthcoming gigs include Space (Ibiza) and Panorama Bar (Berlin).
