VAM, Emiliano Ferreyra - Thinking About (Original Mix)

Mark Hawkins 'Heartfelt'

The latest man to step up to the Definition:Music mantle is German producer Ben Mono. The sometime Compost, Exploited, Stil Vor Talent and Permanent Vacation man is among the most renowned such producers to grace the contemporary house field, and on The Dub Feel EP, he emphatically reminds us exactly why this continues to be the case.

It's the title track that brings the EP to life. Powerful, frantic and bulging with charismatic appeal, it magnificently walks a tightrope that placed between peak-time and discerning flavours. Full of musical charm and blissful melodies alike, it's the sort of battle-weapon that'll spring any dancefloor into life.

On the remix front, Urulu serves up a potent reminder of his own talents courtesy of his 'Anxiety' mix. Unlike the original, it's rolled out at a more gentle pace, and while the throbbing kicks pack more punch than a heavyweight boxer, it's still an altogether different proposition. The whimsical percussion and the canny drums put paid to that fact, while the majestic chords combine to bring you to a place that's teaming with endless fantasies. Mono yes, but monotone? Not on Definition:Music's watch.

Infos :

Its been 6 years since Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble first emerged on the scene with his debut 12inch released on his own MCDE Recordings imprint.
Appropriately titled "Raw Cuts", the two tracks would start of a series of raw house jams Danilo made in his studio using old school samplers and drum machines,
a sound that at the time was far away from being status quo.
Having been heavily influenced by Soul, Jazz, House and Techno emerging from both the Motor City and beyond, Danilo found his signature sound - sample-based, raw,
emotional and mature tracks.
MCDE released two more "Raw Cuts" twelve inches in the coming years and it wouldn't be wrong to call them modern house classics - each of the records found support from all over the globe, from Moodymann to Gilles Peterson, and especially the last record of the series (Raw Cuts 5 & 6) was just everywhere in the year 2010.

What better way to end a concept series than to invite some people for remixing those tracks? People that inspired him to do this music in the first place:
Marcellus Pittman of 3 Chairs fame, Mike Huckaby, one of Detroit`s house heroes and synth nerd per excellence, plus lastly Recloose, whose unique approach to the Detroit sound has been a favorite of Danilo for years.

With a package this strong we will not bore you with more praise - just listen and enjoy.

Dance Petrol Records proudly presents Selected Fuels 05 , the next chapter in its celebrated compilation series, bringing together old friends and new faces for a journey through the ever-evolving spectrum of house music. From the warmth of Chicago grooves to rave-charged progressions and minimal intricacies, this edition captures the label’s spirit  uniting the timeless with the contemporary in one fluid, dancefloor-ready collection.

The journey begins deep in the essence of groove, where lush pads and vocal fragments intertwine over a bed of FM synths and Chicago swing. The spirit of the ’90s lives on, reimagined with modern finesse and that unmistakable sense of soul and motion that defines Etur Usheo’s That 90s Track. As the rhythm flows, the pulse quickens a rush of energy introduced by the freshest face on DPR: Future Freqz: Chunky chords and a driving bassline push forward relentlessly, a no-nonsense invitation to lose yourself in the motion.

Before long, the mood flips into speed and swagger. Jonas Gottlieb injects his unmistakable sense of playfulness with a high-octane garage cut that fuses sharp percussion, pop-infused vocals, and a groove that explodes like dynamite. It’s unfiltered, infectious, and built for full dancefloor impact. Riding that momentum, the energy finds its balance again with Luise’s deep, rolling house flow — her return to the label after a standout remix now delivers a masterclass in groove. Her track unfolds patiently, layering warm vocals and an evolving bassline into a hypnotic progression that just keeps on giving.

The atmosphere shifts inward as Masupilami guides us into his world of minimal textures and precision detail. Emerging from the haze, Passerines lifts the energy once more with a cut that radiates positivity — organ basslines and ethereal pads shimmering like sunlight through smoke, a dose of pure feel-good house.

From there, Sample Samurai launches Buzzbird, a nod to the golden era of progressive and trance. Old-school energy meets rave nostalgia, driven by rolling breaks and uplifting chords that surge forward with optimism and warmth. The current carries into Samy B’s Motown Shuffle, where electro-funk grit and breakbeat precision collide. It’s playful yet powerful — a rhythmic conversation between eras, buzzing with movement and charm.

So.undso step in with Circle Break, a bridge between breaks and the melodic expanse of progressive house. Their piano-driven journey builds patiently, layering emotion over momentum, each chord adding to the sense of forward motion and release. From there, Vinur takes the controls, accelerating into Rhythm of House, an adrenaline-fueled trip through acid lines, trance-inspired leads, and propulsive percussion.

Closing out this year’s edition, Schegg signs off with The Fun Track. Pianos, 90s grooves, and an unshakable sense of playfulness define this finale, tying together the compilation’s boundless energy and heart.

From warm nostalgia to raw innovation, this is a soundtrack for both the floor and the soul with the goal to:

Fuel your passion!

"Minus", the track that would go on to influence generation and an entire culture. Twenty five years after its initial release, Tresor Records is proud to announce the reissue of Robert Hood’s ’Internal Empire’ album, a master work, then and now...

The ongoing importance of this album is indisputable, essential both to techno and to Tresor. It is a history intertwined. This work elevates its maker as master, and remain a cherished moment in the Tresor story, sharing an irrefutable singular magic, sounding as present and indispensable as when first created. To understand this work fully is to stand back and celebrate its impact.

Originally released in 1994, ‘Internal Empire’ marks a point of transition for Robert Hood moving on from his previous collaborations within Underground Resistance. Robert Hood advanced uncovering the power of true minimalism. Deep soul through a simplicity that showed how much could be done with so little. The devastating rhythms of this album forge the unmatched spirit of this sound, influencing generations to come.

"25 years ago, I was faced with the challenge of following up on 'Minimal Nation’. I cancelled all my tour dates for that summer, setup my studio in the living room and began to work on 'Internal Empire'. My intention was to create something distinctively different. Looking out my living room window in Detroit watching people go by gave me a new perspective. It made me look at the world within myself. 25 years later I am still discovering.” – Robert Hood

Tresor.27 releases on CD and 2LP 180g. vinyl on February 8th, 2019.

OOSSHA continues on her path with a second release by G. Markus titled Warning! OOSSHA is an outlet for music that’s dedicated to house and alternative styles while always maintaining fierce and unique ingredients that conquer hearts.

UK producer Ben Gomori revisits his G. Markus alter ego for an EP that pays tribute to the jungle and drum & bass soundtrack of his formative years. The EP takes its name from one of the UK's longest-running (still running!) drum & bass parties, Cambridge's Warning!, which was one of his stomping grounds as a teenager.

On the fiipside, Roger Gerressen turns "Dreemscape 93" into his own interpretation of lo-fi filtered chord sweetness and combining it with hypnotising Rhodes patterns. B2 makes space for the original "The Sleepless Moon" which is all about the rhythms. Intricate MIDI programming triggers acoustic drum samples that intertwine with twinkling ear candy and a jungle break before breaking up the patterns with an infectious bassline.

Warning! is set for release this Friday, June 14th! Pre-order your copy using the link above.

Dave Clark - Southside
