Mikael Pfeiffer lands on Phobiq with two hot techno productions plus a very elegant remix. First up is the Dictated Television and starts with some delicate beats. A droning bassline featuring some eerie effects make this production really good. On remix duties is Jon Gurd, full of percussions from the word go while a groovy bassline introduce some twisted effects. Closing this release is the second original Example and starts off with a massive bassline alongside with rolling percussions. Dark beats and some groovy effects making the whole difference to this one. Another winner release here from Phobiq and a great introduction from Mikael Pfeiffer.

The next release on the always upbeat Phobiq coming from a very special duo LowKey and Kardinal. The title track &#8216;The Sentinel&#8217; is quite energetic from the beginning. It builds with some pretty smooth drum patterns and continues with a heavy bassline which turns this production into a pure winter anthem. Next on is the remix by Thomas P. Heckmann and this production beefing up with some twinkling synth patterns. The track provides a bit groovier feeling and makes this one a spatial take. Closing this exquisite release is &#8216;Black Orchid&#8217;. This track is more focused to a tougher sound mixed up with seductive bassline creating a dark flow. Stunning stuff. This is another amazingly release here from Phobiq and from the boys LowKey and Kardinal.

The next release on Phobiq coming for the dynamic duo Luis MF and Johan Smog. First up is the original mix of What The Wind and from the beginning you can feel this production have a nasty feeling. A bouncy bassline and some stabbing pads make this one simply great. Next on remix duties is Skober. Tight, chunky beats and a rolling bassline featuring some intricate percussions. A rocking production. Closing is Blood Drive and what we have here is another techno treat where quirky elements and a seductive bassline make the difference on this track. Overall a solid release again from Phobiq and Luis MF and Johan Smog as well.

Our favorite heroes are back on Phobiq and start things off with the bang of &#8220;The Grudge&#8221;, which boasts an unmistakeable riff and chords that remind us of the good old days. The locomotive groove provides the momentum while the boys show off their skills with some distressed synthesis and clever, spacious arrangement. 
&#8220;Thoughtcrime&#8221; picks right up with a grinding rhythm section, and the spotlight is geared towards even more chord goodness. Cavernous effects keep reminding us of who we are listening to and persistent hi-hats drive this one all the way home.

Something is brewing in Belgium where Tom Hades teams up with Kostas Maskalides for two juicy cuts. The title really says it all on the opening track, so, of course, you can expect the all-time classic sample over a monstrous, rocksteady rhythm section with some grooving percussion thrown in for good measure. &#8220;Break Up&#8221; picks up from there with some serious vocal chopping and stomping drums to get the temperature rising and the momentum going into hyperdrive.

Eekkoo - Warren Avenue (Original Mix)

Pascal Nuzzo teams up with Subjects for a three-fold rollercoaster into the shadows and the title track sets the tone immediately via a dislocated bassline that is the star of the affair, together with futuristic stabs, vocals reiterating the title and an apocalyptic breakdown. On &#8220;Maybe&#8221;, mutated chords complement the rocksteady rhythm section, while live snare edits are sprinkled alongside spoken-word passages. &#8220;Transporter&#8221; picks up from there and seals the deal with juicy sub-bass, hypnotic electronics and even more warped vocals.

Steve Mulder - Dye Dye (Original Mix) [Orange Recordings]

"Total Departure" was originally released on Drumcode in 2008. While the minimal techno hype was in full swing back then this track was totally different and instantly became a big hit. With Adam Beyer's approval I decided to update this track, because I felt the production could be more tight and the original could do with an update. I kept the main elements that made the original so special and built new groove and implemented a shorter but equally powerful break. Its been a weapon in my recent sets. Hope you like it!"

Christian Smith & John Selway - Total Departure (Christian Smith Remake)

The boys return to phobiq with three furious tracks in their inimitable, trademarked style and the title track is all about the shadowy stabs and chrome-plated electronics as the juicy low end gels everything together. &#8220;Kangorus&#8221; delves even deeper into the hole with warped effects and riffs from a dismal future, reinforcing the cavernous vibe with mangled vocal snippets. The subliminal &#8220;Orcandas&#8221; seals the EP in the same vein, employing a subtle synth melody which evolves graciously, and a spacious breakdown playing a major role in the impeccable arrangement.

We heard a while back that legendary NYC DJ-producer Erick Morillo was gearing up to relaunch his iconic label Subliminal, and we were delighted to know that one of house music's longstanding pioneers was going to be back at it and giving the new generation of clubbers a sense of how it was done.

We've snagged the premiere of the label's second release 'Something For Carl Cox', a high octane, old school techno weapon, which is due to be released on July 27.

Premiere: Erick Morillo 'Something For Carl Cox'

Storming his way back onto Drumcode Luigi Madonna closes off the Summer with a four track smasher that will see him welcome in Autumn with a bang. Each track contains the solid, raw drums that are the backbone to each track Luigi has conjured up. With a brooding undertone, the simplicity found in each track gives the lead lines and ideas more space to breath, which overall creates a unique and charismatic submission that can only be found from the Italian.

The Slovenian powerhouse known as LxS makes his phobiq debut and &#8220;Feed The Cat&#8221; kicks things off with a steamrolling rhythm section and otherworldly synths slapped over a tougher-than-though bassline. The title track is up next, offering a bit more bounce and picking up momentum, as the ever-rising arrangement transforms the affair into a climactic, chromed-out ride. On &#8220;Distant Drums&#8221;, the frantic programming keeps everyone on their toes, letting off-kilter samples take center stage alongside menacing stabs. Closing up, we have the low-end heavy &#8220;Soul Fever&#8221;, based on percussive elements once again, while busy cymbals add fuel to the fire.

From Claude VonStroke: "I had dinner with Breach in London and he told me "Hey, I have a track that is really dirtybird. I would put it out but its really sounding right for you guys." I took this with a grain of salt but then I heard "Let's Get Hot" and I found out he was right. It's got the swagger and the sound. It makes girls grind their asses into boys crotches on the dancefloor. Perfect. Signed.

So I then asked him to make something even more sexual, thinking it would be ages before I got something back. 10 days later the A-side came back to me as a 2 minute clip while i was on the train to warehouse project in Manchester. I liked it so much that i edited it on the train to stretch it out to 5 minute. As expected, it slayed the room and the final version Breach has delivered is one of the best records of the year in my opinion. With the simple title of "Jack" you can see for yourself when you play it. This is the real deal.

Love,
VonStroke"
