It`s not the first time Adultnapper joins hands with M.A.N.D.Y. in order to create music, like 201 (find it here) and Kindling (here, here). Now the trio is releasing Bus Ted, followed by 4 very interesting remixes.

Laps, 1/2 of Digitaline, is not a stranger to Cadenza & Cadenza Lab, and now he`s back with the usual 2-tracked EP. You can check him out as he released just a few weeks ago some good stuff at his label, Raoul (find a review here).

Label: Monique Musique
Catalog:  MM077
No. of tracks: 2
Type: unmixed

Tracklist:


01. Mademoiselle
02. Mademoiselle (Martin Buttrich remix)


Opinion:


I know it`s almost 2 months old, but my bad is that I did not hear this track until I heard Darius Syrossian`s VIVa show #019 (a great mix, which you will find at the bottom of this page). Both tracks are in the top 10 for Monique Musique, as it results from Beatport, with the remix being at the top of the chart.

One of the most exclusivist labels in the world, Freude Am Tanzen, strikes yet again with a compilation aimed for the true lovers of electronic music, people who don`t want to hear the same commercial stuff that everyone can hear in the mainstream. And what it`s even better is that you can download these songs for free on their site :D

Some time has passed since the last Hideout, featuring Squillace and Guti (here is the review), and, as its predecessor, the 011th release brings out big names to the front. And now it`s time for some good music...

* on vinyl release

Opinion:

Dominik Eulberg`s nature inspired top class album Diorama (a review here) got it`s second remix pack, not long after the first one hit the stores, featuring works by Stephan Bodzin and Petar Dundov (a review here). With names like Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Gabriel Ananada and Extrawelt involved, there is no chance you can go on with your life without listening to it.

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.

[digital] Maximiljan - Bodymovin EP

Artist(s): Maximiljan; remix by Tapesh
Name: Bodymovin
Genre: tech-house, techno
Label: Monique Musique
Catalog:  MM072
No. of tracks: 4
Type: unmixed

Tracklist:

01. Bodymovin
02. Bodymovin (Tapesh Remix)
03. Ruthless Ambition
04. Gonna Do This


Opinion:


I`ve heard the original head track and the 3rd one being dropped by Dubfire in Holland, for Loveland festival (a link to the live set with video here) and I thought of investigating more, also because Monique Musique is not a new name for me.

[digital] Delete - My Own Nightmare EP

Artist(s): Delete (a.k.a. Sergio Munoz); remix by Fur Coat
Name: My Own Nightmare
Genre: tech-house, techno
Label: Get Physical Music
Catalog:  GPM154
No. of tracks: 3
Type: unmixed

Tracklist:

01. My Own Nightmare
02. Slo-Mo Girl
03. Slo-Mo Girl  (Fur Coat Dark After Hour Mix)

Opinion:

New Physical in town this week, but sadly yet again the old artists in the roster don`t show up to remind us of the good old times. At least, Delete really proves that he is ready, through this music, to bring the label one step ahead.

[digital] Kris Wadsworth - It`s Time EP

Artist(s): Kris Wadsworth
Name: It`s Time
Genre: techno, tech-house, deep-house
Label: Get Physical Music
Catalog:  GPM146
No. of tracks: 3
Type: unmixed

Tracklist:

01. It`s Time
02. Det Sound
03. Connection

Opinion:

New Physical is out today, and I should warn you that this one is special. It may shock the years of a newbie in electronica, but it`s a damn original work from an expert point of view. I`ll tell you why...

[digital] Nick Curly - Sun City EP

Artist(s): Nick Curly
Name: Sun City
Genre: tech-house, techno
Label: Cocoon
Catalog: COR12089
No. of tracks: 3
Type: unmixed

Tracklist:

01. Sun City
02. Green Baize
03. Libero


Opinion:

8Bit`s and Cecille`s own superstar, Nick Curly, is not new to the gigantic label Cocoon, and yet again he strikes to remind us why Germans are so good at what they do, especially when it comes to electronic music. Germany is trully the house of the best underground music I`ve heard, and as a consequence, most of my favorite labels and artists come from that area.

[digital] Smash TV - Steroids to Heaven EP

Artist(s): Smash TV
Name: Steroids to Heaven
Genre: tech-house, deep-house, techno
Label: Get Physical
Catalog: GPM139
No. of tracks: 3
Type: unmixed

Tracklist:

01. Steroids to Heaven
02. Made for Eachother
03. Pleasure


Opinion:

A new EP is out on Physical, with Smash TV being the solo presence, bringing to the game 3 original tracks. So how is the new addition to the well known label family?

[digital] Aka Aka, Thalstroem, Umami - What Matters (Remixes)

Artist(s): Aka Aka, Umami, Thalstroem; remixes by Hanne & Lore, Broombeck, Philip Bader
Name: What Matters (Remixes)
Genre: techno, tech-house

Type: unmixed

Tracklist:

01. What Matters
02. What Matters (Hanne & Lore Remix)
03. What Matters (Broombeck Remix)
04. What Matters (Philip Bader Remix)

Opinion:


Aka Aka`s own label, Burlesque Musique, is always a source of good music if you like the sounds created by the German duo. As I really dig their techno, I decided to add this first EP in my collection. 4 songs, one original and 3 remixes.

[digital] Jake & Amber - This is Mine EP

Artist(s): Jake & Amber
Name: This is Mine
Genre: tech-house, techno
Label: Minus
Catalog: MINUS113
No. of tracks: 2
Type: unmixed

Tracklist:

01. This is Mine
02. Teenpop

Opinion:

We have yet again a typical Minus release, a 2-track EP with one song per part, totaling a small dosage of excellent techno combined with tech-house.
