The Deep End
Curses! [Institubes]
13 March, 2009 | 5.55PMLuca Venezia – aka NYC’s bassline champion Drop The Limehttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif – returns with a swagger to the Institubes stage behind his housier guise, Curses!http://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif, to offer a TWA (tune wiv attiude) that will smack you round the face and leave your sorry ass battered and bruised.
That’s a good thing, though. Forget all this softly-softly dance music that wouldn’t even offend your Grandma these days, ‘The Deep End’ sticks it to the man, middle finger up, jeans ripped, nipple pierced.

The Windey Man
Justin Maxwell [Palette]
21 February, 2009 | 5.58PMIt was a cold and indistinct January morn in the Beatportal office. A guest mix John Tejadahttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif put together for Mary Anne Hobbs’ sometimes excellent Radio 1 show was seeping from the speakers.
As Tejada’s mainly solid selection was nearing its conclusion, a horrendous belch of a noise was omitted from the desktop soundsystem; the audio equivalent of a bum regurgitating his mud supper, if you will.

Top 10 DJ Chart
Eric Prydz [Various]
20 February, 2009 | 5.15PMThis week saw a notable addition to the Beatport charts page: the long overdue, first top 10 from Eric Prydzhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif.
As I’m sure you’re all aware, Mr. Prydz/Prydahttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif/Cirez Dhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif has emerged over the last few years to become one of the planet’s biggest producers.
September
Danny Howells [Dig Deeper]
14 February, 2009 | 5.47PMAfter vacating the production limelight for so many years, the trickle of recent material from Danny Howellshttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif should actually be considered a torrent.
Choosing his ‘Renaissance: The Mix Collection’ album to showcase a small collection of original production towards the end of last year, Howells now returns with a fresh offering on his brand new Dig Deeper label.

For The Lost
The Mole [Internasjonal]
12 February, 2009 | 11.11AMWho exactly does The Molehttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif belong to? Disparate imprints have housed his ever-green grooves across the course of his fruitful journey; Philpothttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif, Kompakthttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif, Spectral Soundhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif and of course Wagon Repairhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif have all offered him a room at the inn at one point or another.
The fact is, the The Mole’s output seems to fit glove-like wherever it resides; none more so perhaps than Internasjonalhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif, the sparkling release arm of Mr. Prins Thomashttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif.

Stakes EP
Dinamoe [Alpaca ]
10 February, 2009 | 12.13PMDinamoehttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif is 23 year-old German producer who, for the last couple of years, has been baking the sort of skeletal, bleep-riden techno you could a imagine a hungry Davide Squillacehttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif or Paco Osunahttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif devouring.
The Stakes EP is in no way a departure from the sound Dinamoe has been resolutely pushing for the last couple of years, rather a variation on the theme that brings enough new ideas to the fore in order to maintain his forward momentum.

Equalized #002
EQD [Equalized]
3 February, 2009 | 10.20AM‘Equalized #002’ is the second in a series of releases from an as yet unnamed Hard Wax-affiliated producer.
Arriving almost a full year after its predecessor, #002 is centered around the same rough-and-ready aesthetics that placed ‘#001’ among the most highly sought after releases of 2008.

Volcano
Egotrya [People Of The Sky]
28 January, 2009 | 8.33PMBack when Marty McFly was still jamming to Huey Lewis and the News, Beppe Loda and Francesco Boscolo were getting their musical kicks from an altogether different era – the future.
Fitting then, that Volcano should re-enter the public consciousness some 25 years later; bearing testament to their own time travelling capabilities.

Love Always Fades
Dave Graham [Soundpiercing (Armada)...
12 January, 2009 | 6.44AMWith just 44 friends on his MySpace page, there’s not a great deal of information readily available about Dave Grahamhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif.
A lack of profile information and blog entries give him a mysterious allure, contributing – whether intentionally or not – to dance music’s switch from the superstar DJ era to a more ‘all about the music’ notion, where more and more artists are concealing their identities by hiding behind masks, cartoon characters and pseudonyms.
Garuna EP
Gorge [8 Bit]
10 January, 2009 | 9.25PMFunctional. Hardly a glowing adjective to begin a music recommendation with but this would be the most accurate term with which to describe 8Bithttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif boss Gorge’s latest musical offering.
Confusingly ditching his Reclickhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif moniker he usually dons for the label, Gorgehttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif issues a double dose of ‘floor-focused fodder; one of which works wonderfully, and one that well, sort of does.

Top 10 DJ Chart
SIS [Various]
8 January, 2009 | 3.52PMBeyond his ubiquitous releases last year, very little is known about Turkish born, Frankfurt resident Burak Star aka SIShttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif.
Perhaps taking his media training from fellow press-dodger Ricardo Villaloboshttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif, (who outputted his brass-meets-house anthem ‘Trompeta’ last year through his own Sei Es Drum label) SIS has been flying under the radar since his November 2007 release ‘La Gurua’ pricked up the ears of the electronic community.

Cold Champagne
Phace [Neosignal]
8 January, 2009 | 11.27AMHaving been in the scene for some time, producing some blisteringly hard tunes for Subtitles and Visionhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif, Phacehttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif and Misanthrophttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif have joined forces to launch their new label, Neosignal, to try and establish a stronghold of cutting-edge, neurofunk drum & bass.
The first release, ‘Cold Champagne’ is the ultimate showcase for the label’s future releases; the sound is characteristically dark and eerie but also dynamic and gut wrenchingly heavy.

The Scorpion
Joey Beltram [Drumcode]
6 January, 2009 | 2.50AMNew York-based producer Joey Beltramhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif rose to international prominence with his famous “Ecstasy, ecstasy” whispering track ‘Energy Flash’ (1990), and the warped hoover sounds of ‘Mentasm’, but his output in the digital age has been fairly low-key.
‘The Scorpion’ sees Beltram return to what he does best: drifting bass-heavy techno and evil synthesized nastiness.

Joyride
Pinch [Tectonic]
5 January, 2009 | 11.50AMPinchhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif has really outdone himself on this new Tectonichttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif release, honing his production styles to perfection and making ‘Joyride’ easily his finest work to date.
‘Joyride’ brings together all the best elements of Pinch’s styles, from the tribal beats akin to ‘Qawwali’ to the techno-influenced style pushed through on his ‘136 Trek’.

Moonlight Madness
AF Project [Flashover Recordings]
3 January, 2009 | 2.52PMWith the release of his new artist album, ‘Twice in a Blue Moon’, Ferry Corsten admits that he is less inspired by electro music, preferring to now focus more on melody.
Releases on his Flashover label like AF Project’s ‘Moonlight Madness’ appear to reflect his change of heart.
