Complementing this month's excellent 'Berghain 04' mix from Ben Klock, Ostgut Ton serves up a split release from Martyn (3024) and Roman Lindau (Fachwerk). Martyn's brooding contribution 'Miniluv' is backed by Lindau's warehouse monster 'Keppra'. Killer tracks.

In preparation for his new album, flying Dutchman Aardvark unleashes a new platter of heavy, dub infused beat slices much like in the vain of his acclaimed Bloom series, even featuring the Gaslamp Killer on one cut. After extensive listening we concluded in unison: Aardvarck for President!

Arguably the most innovative producer currently operating in the Netherlands, A Made Up Sound (a.k.a. 2562) is blazing his own path, crafting a hybrid sound of house, techno, dubstep and broken beat. Here he presents his latest dancefloor-aimed mutations, 'Alarm' b/w 'Crisis'. Brilliant!

Legowelt and Orgue Electronique revive their Chicago Shags alias for this new five-tracker. 'Flamingo World' is old-school acid house crossed with the pair's obsession for hyperactive rave sounds, italo disco and horror movie soundtracks. Highly addictive stuff!

Applescal follows up his 'A Mishmash Of Changing Moods' album with a bunch of fine remixes. Nuno Dos Santos turns 'Black Spiral' into a deep and hypnotic dub-house track, Umbral, Sistema and Mig Dfoe round off the bill.

Always pushing the boundaries of techno music, Speedy J unleashes 'Trails', a slow-burning, washed-out 14-minute monster of a track. Comes with a more functional bonus beat dub, and not one, not two, but four different versions by Glasgow's Edit Select.

'Soba', a track you could just listen for hours on end, and its counterpart 'Udon' further raise the bar for this home grown artist of Amsterdam's label Delsin. His second EP this year after his Benny Rodriguez collaboration for Smallville, we can only hope he continues in the same vein.

Prime-time material coming from Rotterdam's Joris Voorn, who delivers a clear-cut disco-tech bomb for Cocoon with 'The Secret'. Think Paperclip People's 'Throw' with an extra Ibiza edge and you get the idea. Quite likely not a secret much longer, so better get this quick.

Two functional house tracks by Bart Skils aimed for prime time dance floor use. Nice atmosphere throughout and quality production just as we are used to from this man. A solid piece of work you definitely can't go wrong with if you have to entertain a crowd. Check.

Building atmospheres and dubby elements played a key role on the debut album, 'Elemental Assets', by Amsterdam's Estroe. Again on Connaisseur, its now down to artists such as Steve Rachmad, Audiofly, Roberto Rodriguez, Ripperton and Joel Mull to contribute to this huge remix package.

Cut from the freshest cloth of new Spanish artists, Tadeo continues to work the links between techno and minimal, bringing in a wide range of influences from Jamaican music to original Detroit sounds. All of which are very apparent from highlights such as 'Oasys' and 'Indiferencia Ante La Situación'.

Pulshar (a.k.a. Aphro Sainz and Pablo Bolivar) have been amazing us with their idiosyncratic vision of electronic dub. Their new single has remixes by Workshop's Even Tuell (which is utterly brilliant!), Spanish dub-techno act Deeps Edayar and a strangely catchy take by Sistema. Check!

Imek & Xpansul serve up 'La Salud' for remix duties from Pfirter & Grindvik, Marko Fürstenberg and From Karaoke To Stardom. Pfirter & Grindvik's is a slow grinding techno track, incorporating its clicks and bleeps, alongside its swirling pads to maximum effect. Also check Fürstenberg's dub house take!

A rather international set of producers take a stab at remixing Barcalona-resident Pablo Bolivar's second artist album, 'Recall'. Billy Dalessandro (USA), Nhar (France), Audision (Germany), Noah Pred (Canada) and NOP (Japan) all fish in the deeper end of the techno pond. Check.

Getting rave reviews across the press and an invitation to this year's Sónar, John Talabot is quite the man of the moment, and 'Matilda's Dream' is definitely another reason to check out his work: Epic, drifting acid house with a deep and melodic cosmic disco vibe. Nice Jaques Renault remix too.

Pablo Bolivar takes a look back the past 8 years worth of releases from the Barcelona-based House/Minimal label, Regular, and compiles a set of their most essential cuts. Included are tracks by René Breitbarth, Maetrik, Oliver Koletzki, and Bolivar, himself.

For their thirteenth release Dubhe records compile an exclusive compilation of mostly unreleased material from young talents such as Oren Bi, Eartone or Superferric diving deep into soulful house territories with a pinch of electro funk. Consistent compilation through out.

Alongside his brother Dubbyman, Above Smoke represents the new breed of Spanish deep house artists - this time on Cologne's excellent Yore label. Nice dubby vibes give way to disco references, deep downbeat, and late-night atmospheres on the concluding title track. Ace!

Paco Osuna is one of the most prominent DJs in Spain, and rightfully so, as anyone who's seen him play can attest. He's been for years associated with Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 camp, and 'Crazy' is one of his fine releases for the label: functional, beatdriven minimal techno. Classic DJ tool.
