Tracklist:

01. In Love
02. Gum Stew


Opinion:


Physical Music released the second Tim Green-only EP out on their label, but the UK-based artist has been present on Miami 2010 Sampler and the 8 Years compilation. With the talent he possesses, it`s no wonder that the huge German label is helping him release his works to the public.

Opinion:


The third EP of the Cosmic Cowboys marks the 3rd review on a Musik Gewinnt Freunde release here at my blog. And it`s not the first time I said that Kollektiv Turmstrasse are one of my all time favorite acts when it comes to music, so it is normal for me to keep an eye on their label.

Name: Brick House
Genre: house
Label: Get Physical
Catalog: GPM166
No. of tracks: 1
Type: unmixed

01. Brick House


Opinion:


A simple 1 track EP, that is what we get from Physical today, but in the end it is worth it, and you will find Dice, T., Sneak, Schumacher and Troxler playing it in their sets.

[digital] John Dimas, UGLH - Impress Me/Funky Mood EP

Artist(s): John Dimas, UGLH; remixes by Anonym, Kruse & Nurnberg

04. UGLH – Funky Mood (Kruse & Nürnberg Remix)

Opinion:

With support from Loco Dice and Laurent Garnier, followed by names like Tim Green, Anthony Collins, dOP or Italoboyz, it`s hard to miss the 3rd vinyl release of Cosmic Cowboy`s label, Back and Forth.

[digital] Mazu - Love This EP

01. Love This
02. Love This (UGLH Remix)
03. In The Deep of my Soul

Opinion:

If you want to hear a bit of true underground music you should definetly check Caramella out. 13 is a special number, and it`s worth checking out as it already has positive feedback from guys like Richie Hawtin, M.A.N.D.Y., Darius Syrossian, Leon, Mihai Popoviciu, Mobius Strum, Kruse & Nuernberg, Claude VonStroke, and many others.

Since I heard him on Loco Dice`s Lab (find it here), his name stuck in my mind, and now I saw his new release on Plastic City, that includes an original track and 2 remixes.
