Vick Lavender feat. Peter JerichoWhat A Poor Boy Wants Sophisticado

Having the song “What A Poor Boy Wants“ as basis, Glenn Underground builds is own thing, the unique sound we all can identify after some seconds. “Often imitated but never duplicated”, as the Bad Ass says. Vick Lavender offers a driving conga affair with a tremendous bass. Of course, there’s also the “Original LP Mix” a very interesting smooth song, perfect for those who need to have a rest from 4×4 beats.

Those Aussie masters of the high-quality mix compilation, BALANCE, present the next installment in their ELECTRIC series. Sound-wise it’s completely different from anything they’ve done before, as they raise the bar once more, bringing to the attention of the wider world one of Australia’s finest �” DJ Agent 86.If you haven’t heard him already, you’re in for a real treat. If you have, we know you’re gonna dig this! ELECTRIC_04 is a perfect snapshot of his skills, melding genres seamlessly while bringing beats to the boil. If you’re going to have a party to remember, then you need DJ Agent 86 on the decks.There are very few DJs that can hold a candle to Agent 86. Fact. Sure. DMC champs may have the technical edge, but then how many incessant tweak scratch medleys can a crowd take before losing interest? Put simply, 86 knows how to fill the dancefloor. Yet he’ll do it in such an obtuse way, you won’t notice any obvious anthems. An underground cut here, a lost classic there, and before you know it, the floor is jam-packed. And he’s not even breaking a sweat, yet.In true block-party style, Agent 86 plays Hip-Hop, House, Techno, Rock, Electro, Pop, Breaks, Disco, New Wave, Funk, R&B, and just about anything and everything in-between and outside of the box. His extensive musical palette has led him to share the stage with the likes of James Brown, DJ Shadow, Moloko, Bookashade, Jeff Mills, Gangstarr, Soul II Soul, Peaches, and countless others.A fixture on the Adelaide scene for several years, playing a mixture of tech and old school electro, 86 honed his deck skills and placed several times in the DMC and ITF mix competitions. After a move to Melbourne, he started turning heads on the urban scene, throwing down hip-hop and R&B with all the trimmings. But it wasn’t long before he again demonstrated his versatility, starting long running electro-clash party Roxy, for several years. His DJ sets have been described as “the stuff of legend”, and at this moment in time he’s busy playing no less than 5 nights per week, and squeezing some time in the studio to work on some upcoming releases.Versatile, humble, a skilled technician and (more importantly) a true lover of music, Agent 86 deserves all the plaudits thrown his way. He makes the difficult seem easy, and does it with a joie de vivre not often seen in an industry veteran. ELECTRIC_04 is a perfect snapshot of his skills, and it’s most definitely party time!

Rhythm has always been the string that holds together the vibrant, flowing fabric of John Tejada’s career - even from the age of 8, when he lost himself in a love affair with the drums, or from the age of 12, when he first started DJing. Far too young to DJ at clubs, John spent his youth DJing hip hop (“The stuff that struck me most was always sort of Arthur Baker sound - Planet Rock, Planet Pattrol, Egyptian Lover and the Kraftwerk influence”) at school dances and throughout the backyard party scene in sunny Los Angeles. It’s rather difficult to imagine John Tejada, nothing short of a techno legend - a linchpin in the scene’s development as a seminal producer, DJ, remixer and label owner �” being a hip hop DJ.“The electronic sounds that now would be considered something else were part of hip hop culture; it was those sounds that I latched onto when I first heard acid house and early Chicago stuff. DJing back then, I felt this responsibility to play more mainstream sounds. That’s been a constant battle my whole life: to want to make people get into experimental sounds, but then also having to realise that it’s a party, people want to dance. Finding that middle ground that might make everyone happy is still, to this day, something that I have trouble with.” �” John TejadaJohn certainly has had no trouble finding a core audience despite his experimental tendencies. Even as a teenager, unable to get into the groove of high school because he was obsessed by the grooves of his records, he got hooked up with a college radio show in LA called Fly ID, which instantly (and unknowingly) became a cult sensation. Upon meeting a kindred spirit named Arian Leviste, John ditched a scholarship for a prestigious art school and instead threw himself straight into the studio world, working at a sound library/post-production music company. The two of them put their hand to collaborative productions in ’91 and the chemistry was absolute: together, the expansive pair has produced over a dozen singles and three immaculate albums.As a solo artist, John Tejada’s prolific discography is daunting to behold, with 11 albums under his ever-expanding belt (for labels such as Plug Research, Playhouse and Immigrant), in addition to four as I’m Not A Gun with guitarist Takeshi Nishimoto. He’s also unleashed a myriad of EP’s with a mind-boggingly enviable list of labels (Pokerflat, 7th City and ~scape, to name but a very few), not forgetting his endless remix work for the likes of Ghostly, KMS, Buzzin’ Fly, Gigolo Records and Sub Pop. In 1996, John launched his own label, Palette, as a freeing outlet for his own infinite productions. Now celebrating well over 50 releases, Palette has opened its arms to The Rip Off Artist, Pieter K, DJ Abstract, Dominick Martin, Dave Hughes, as well as John’s highly-celebrated collaborations with Justin Maxwell and of course his old friend, Arian (who he still tours with quite regularly).“My newest project is a band project I do with a friend, ‘I’m Not A Gun,’ which was on a Berlin label called City Centre Offices for 3 albums. It’s almost indie-rock-jazz. I felt like I have a label to branch out the Palette sounds - it doesn’t have to be pinned down to techno or house �” so we’ve just released our most recent album on Palette. I’ve created music that people would call up-tempo ambient, techno house, drum and bass or whatever - people get so hung up on genres. Honestly what I’m producing, even if it’s live instrumentation with the band, is all based on rhythm and melody. Some of it’s faster and some of it’s slower. A lot of people don’t like that explanation, but to me it’s a very honest explanation. The process is the same.” �” John TejadaOn fabric 44, John Tejada swoops in and swells with a deep, pulsating mix that swallows the listener whole. Breeding energetic beats amongst beautifully woven layers and intricate patterns, the mix hypnotises and stuns with complex sonic artistry. A dense masterclass in melodic techno, fabric 44 features the driving feel of the Palette All Stars (Tejada with Arian Leviste and Justin Maxwell), the distinct rhythmic stomp of Orbital, slick harmonics from Beatstreet’s Pigeon, and Tejada’s own synth-heavy bleeps, all wrapped in a warm electronic embrace.“When I finally listened to the mix, I put a lot of attention to detail of the way the tracks came together in and out. I did edit the tracks quite a bit, but it’s really subtle and it just helps with the flowing journey, to take it one step above of what you might hear when a DJ plays out. I wanted the whole track selection to turn into one piece of music: a techno-classical piece that has movements and moods from start to finish, like conducting an electronic symphony.” �” John Tejada

DaScratch™, a.k.a. the SCS.3d, is the latest innovation in the Stanton SC System control surface line. Revolutionary and compact, this controller is a necessity for any digital DJ looking for ultimate control over their software of choice. DaScratch’s compact and sleek profile makes it a space-friendly addition to any existing DJ gear set-up or can stand on its own as a complete controller solution. What makes this guy different from your average controller?Stanton’s StanTouch™ technology allows you to use traditional DJ-style motions and gestures on a touch-pad style surface to take full control over music and software applications such as Traktor DJ Studio™, Traktor Scratch™, Ableton Live™, Serato Scratch Live™, or any other MIDI compatible software. Minimal moving parts ensure durability from gig to gig.See Me, Feel Me - DaScratch’s layout and portability provide DJs with an unmatched level of performance and control. The StanTouch™ interface can be used for scratching, scrubbing, and navigating through digital audio. The tactile buttons, triggers, and virtual faders can also control samples, pitch, effects, cue and loop points, and other mappable functions. Multiple finger touches can even prompt quick kills on EQ’s or transform effects on volume.Hook Me Up - Magnect™ connection system allows multiple DaScratch units to securely snap together, creating a larger control surface with increased performance options.Teach Me - DaRouter™ software gives DaScratch a little brain of its own, allowing customized support for a variety of applications. DaRouter runs on Mac / PC and will automatically load presets that are tailored towards the application the SCS.3d is controlling. A generic preset is also provided for mapping to any application that supports MIDI learn. To learn more about the router and presets, click here.Connect Me - USB connection for easy plug and play connection to your software. Class compliant with Windows XP, Vista and Mac OSX to ensure that drivers are never needed. Bus powered by design to ensure that no external power or batteries need to be used.DaScratch’s center section operates mainly in 3 different modes �” Slider, Circle, and Button mode. These 3 different control layouts can be evoked by any of the mode buttons depending on how the DaRouter preset is programmed.Slider Mode - Slider mode gives the user 3 variable controls (like faders) that can be used by sliding your finger up and down the areas next to the 3 LED meter bars. This mode can be used for controlling many parameters at once, like an EQ. A slider may be changed by dragging a finger across the surface, or you can place your finger in an absolute position on the slider and its position will jump immediately to that point. Two fingers may be used to trigger from one position to the next. For instance, holding one finger on the bottom of the slider and tapping the top with a second finger will make the slider generate the higher value for as long as that finger remains on the surface. Once the second (upper) finger is removed, the slider will generate the value indicated by the first finger position. We refer to this as a “finger jump”.Circle Mode - In Circle mode, there is one slider at the center of the circle, and circular slider going around the perimeter of the touch surface. Just like in Slider mode, finger jumps are possible can be performed to quickly change the parameter in real time. This is the mode most likely to be used to emulate the platter of a deck. Circle mode is also the default mode of DaScratch. That is to say that if you plug DaScratch into your computer without using the DaRouter software, it will operate in Circle mode. But keep in mind that without DaRouter, the Mode Selector buttons (VINYL, LOOP, etc) will only send note data and will not change the operation of DaScratch.Button Mode - In Button mode, the zones highlighted in the diagram will act as triggers to control buttons in the target application. For example, these functions could be assigned to alter loop lengths, jump to cue points, or start clips playing. Multiple buttons may be pressed at the same time in Button mode. Also, you will find some presets use a modified version of Button mode that makes the trigger areas bigger by combining 2 or more button zones.StanTouch™ - In every mode of operation, you’ll find that the touch sensitive areas on DaScratch will respond to multiple simultaneous touches. This is part of its core functionality, and indeed many cool behaviors and gestures can be developed around this capability.

Technical Details:

5 Touch sensitive sliders (3 switchable via presets)

1 Touch sensitive continuous rotary control (switchable via preset)

4 Backlit (red, blue) buttons

It’s been busy times of late for Phillip Sollmann aka EFDEMIN. After releasing his first full-length album on Dial in 2007 and putting out remixes for Dessous, Aus, Bpitch Control, Morris Audio and Lan Muzic, he was constantly behind the decks, somewhere, presenting his idea of music.Ably blending deep and classic house, modern berlin and detroit techno. Where Efdemin’s earlier production work was rather focused on slow, abstract house in the vein of Theo Parrish, he has slowly turned to a more functional approach without losing his special sense for deepness.His sound design has become more unobscured and broad. And he knows just how to adjust old school influences to contemporary listening habits. His DJ style, with its eclectic mix of strict but deeply detailed tracks, provides a continual sense of excitement and creates a kind of grace over the night.We are very proud to announce now Efdemin’s debut mix-cd, including tracks from respected producers such as Scott Grooves, Brothers’ Vibe, Minilogue, Dettmann & Klock, Patrice Scott, Surgeon, Photek and Tobias. Avoiding a selection of easy hits in favour of a well thought out collection of secret weapons, personal favourites and undiscovered beauties, this is a mix that you won’t get tired of hearing.The mix is released on Curle, the label where Efdemin released his biggest track to date, ‘Acid Bells’, that topped last year’s charts. It is the first cd on Curle, a label founded in 2006, with releases from Dub Kult, Mark August, Michal Ho, Anthony Collins and Nico Purman, to name a few, under its belt.

Satoshi hooks-up with Renaissance once again, marking their trilogy with another landmark mix, further confirming why he is considered a true master of house.The Japanese-by-way-of-New-York Don takes us on a sublime, deep tech-house excursion that draws on some of the brightest luminaries at work in the scene today, from Radio Slave to Layo & Bushwacka!, Jimpster, Motorcitysoul, Marc Romboy, Mlle Caro & Franck Garcia, Jeff Bennett and many more besides… The result is a forward thinking musical blueprint, as Satoshi himself elaborates, “My definition of house remains the same - ‘an open minded, evolving form of dance music’”.The mix, which spans two CDs, is further distinguished by the additional production, be it the keys Satoshi plays on the Shur-i-kan intro or the loops and FX he subtly weaves throughout, enhancing the compilation’s mood and flow. However, the cake is well and truly iced by an exclusive in the form of his own, brand new single; under the guise of ‘Mes’, Madrugada is Satoshi at his unheard finest that will surely have aficionados chomping at the bit.Always easy on the ear, this is a mix which can be enjoyed any time or place.

Situated by the river Spree, known for it’s first-rate lineups of international talent and of course it’s famous wall to wall LED dance floor installation, the Watergate Club in Berlin has quickly become one of the world’s leading dance music clubs.Only 5 years after it’s official opening the club now goes a step further and releases a characteristic Mix CD series delivering only the finest DJ Mixes by some of club’s most exiting residents and guests. With the focus being put not only on the music but also on the packaging and design, this series will quickly become a truly sought-after collectors item and will surely stand out in flood of mediocre music and mixes that often dilute the market.“Watergate 02″ is a perfect distillation of the cream of melodic minimalism and deeper dancefloor moments from Ellen Allien’s right hand man, Sascha Funke. Four Tet’s remix of Nathan Fake’s ‘You Are here’ gets the mix rolling with an optimistic Krautrock vibe, followed by the Miss Kittin remix of Ellen Allien’s ‘Alles Sehen’ before settling into Zander VT’s driving tech-house cut ‘Get Down’ and maintaining the housing vibes with the WIghnomy bros remix of Minilogue & Kab’s ‘That’s a nice way to give me feedback’ and onto Dave Aju’s anthemic ‘Crazy Place’. From here on there’s suitably streamlined and luxuriant tech house from Sten, Funke himself, Koze, Patrice Scott’s succulent ‘Visions of Mantanda’ and finishing on a pure ‘95 vibe with Acid jesus’ remix of Milch’s ‘Housefrau’. Guaranteed business-class house goodness.

Since infiltrating the formerly all boys Vakant team this summer with her ‘Move In’ EP (VA020), Dinky has brought with her a welcome infusion of freshness and bloom to the otherwise dank locker room. Now, all nice settled, comes her third album via her new Vakant home. ‘May Be Later’, like the artist, is the prototypical combination of beauty and brawn.It’s been a long ride to get to this point, one that started in Dinky’s native Chile growing up playing piano. Thanks to her musical family, she was exposed to lots of different styles of music whose influence can still be heard today in her production and DJ jet-sets. Dinky experimented with several art forms which brought her first to modern dance and choreography. As a teen, everyone from Brian Eno to Prince shared air time before finding electronic music in the mid-nineties via her sister who was conveniently living in Berlin at the time. Records from Plastikman, Aphex Twin, and Carl Craig were among her first.Around the same time, lifelong connections were made in the Santiago scene to people like Ricardo Villalobos, Dandy Jack, and Luciano. Not long after and while still a teen, Dinky was sharing stages with those same people. Via the Berlin connection Dinky experienced places like E Werk and Tresor and heard the pioneering sound coming from people like Jeff Mills, Hell, and Stacey Pullen.In the late nineties Dinky moved from Santiago to New York City to join the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Naturally, she also got into the NYC scene discovering American House, the evolution of techno, and parties like Body and Soul, NASA raves, and Twilo. Soon, at 23 and armed only with an MPC 2000, her original productions began. Dancing during the day, she was making a name for herself as a DJ by night eventually hosting regular underground parties with Magda until the forced exit. In 2003 due to post 9-11 visa restrictions, Dinky left NYC for Berlin. It was definitely a good move, thank you Department of Homeland Security. With her new home came chart topping productions, mega club residencies, live performances, and international recognition.Fast forward 2008. ‘May Be Later’ bridges sound and mood from the summery and sublime to the dark and throbbing. While ‘Mars Cello’ floats and warms, ‘Burdelia’ chugs somewhere between Chicago and early NYC house. ‘Fade Me In’ zips along with furious kink and dubious vox by Dinky´s longtime friend Jorge González. ‘Seven 2 Seven’, when aimed at 8am Berlin ravers, massive freak outs ensue. ‘She is Moving’ features minimal vocalist extraordinaire Big Bully, together they attain that vital equilibrium of naughty and nice. The album closes with ‘Mind’, an electronic fusion moving, looming, eerie, and reassuring.‘May Be Later‘ is an open door to Ms. Alejandra Iglesias’ development exposing the path, connections, and influences that brought her here. The beach, NYC underground in all its flavors, Berlin, the stage, Detroit, electronic waves from all directions, Chicago, mega-clubs, it’s all here and it’s all her own.
