GREAT SUMMERGAMES STUFF‏

24 anthems by 24 amazing artists from 24 different countries to support their national teams at the Olympic summer games in the Chinese capital Beijing. This is the concept behind the second Great Stuff compilation (after the very successfull Great Carnival Stuff earlier this year) full of wonderful exclusive tracks.

And of course the original Olympic idea (“not to win but to take part”) is inseparably linked to the respect of the human rights. Be it in the sports stadium or on the dancefloor. This ideal is emphasized by the Austrian duo Makossa & Megablast who decided to start for Tibet (instead of their home country) with a Mantra spoken by Konchok Yoenten: Düsum Sangye (The Prayer to Guru Rinpoche for Removing Obstacles and Fulwilling Wishes: Guru Rinpoche, the Buddha of past, present and future. "Dewa Chenpo" - Guru of Gre! at Bliss-the source of all the Siddhis. "Düd Dül Drakpo Tsal" - Wrathful One that subdues Negativity - who removes all obstacles. Grant your blessings we pray! Through them, may all obstacles-outer, inner and secret- be quelled, and may all our aspirations be fulfilled.

Namaste!

Samir Maslo feat. Vincent Valler - "The Vibe"

Perfectly timed for the summer season our supremo Samir Maslo delivers a real killer entitled The Vibe on Peppermint Jam Records. Mr. Maslo has gained critical acclaim for his hi-class remixes on Purple Music, Peppermint Jam and ProgCity Deep over the past few months.

Take Vincent Valler and no less than Alfred Azzetto (who was responsible for "Colors" on Purple Music), mix them up with a great marimba melody and drifting beats and you‘ll get this sure fire dancefloor burner.On top of that Alfred Azzetto's remix takes this into bigger room territory while keeping the ‘Vibe‘ of the original!

Style Of Eye - “Duck, Cover And Hold”

Dear partners and friends,

lock up your genres - Linus Eklow, aka Style Of Eye, is ripping up the rule book with his debut artist album “Duck, Cover And Hold”.Out in September 2008 on Pickadoll.

Linus’ most recent productions on Dirtybird and John Dahlbäck’s Pickadoll label have been immense - “The Big Kazoo” E.P (Dirtybird), was followed up by “The Prophet” (Pickadoll). With a remix for Moby under his belt and a tour in the pipeline, Style of Eye is proof that cutting edge house isn’t Sweden’s only hottest export...

As you’d expect from someone who cites influences as diverse as Stevie Wonder, nineteenth century classical composer Edvard Grieg, and Yello, Style of Eye isn’t keen to be pigeonholed. “Since I take in so much different music and put it in a blender I wanted to be able to put everything I see and that inspires me into one project.

This album is a huge step from my first release but you can still hear that it’s me. ‘Duck, Cover And Hold’ was almost a year in the making, and felt like the perfect time to put things in a bigger perspective. So I wanted to make a dancefloor album but one that could also be heard as one CD, that could travel through different styles, but you could still connect the dots between the first and last tracks,“ says Linus.

Style Of Eye - July 2008 Mix

1 Noze - You have to dance (SOE edit)

2 Style Of Eye - Clown

3 Martin Eyerer - Furthermore (Oliver Klein & Peter Juergens Mix)

4 Style Of Eye - Amelie

5 Vaeth vs Flugel - Trashbindance

6 Steve Mac, Marc Bell - Bells Of Brighton (Popof Mix)

7 Rhythm Code - Rise (Popof Mix)

8 Style Of Eye - Girls Dub

9 Style Of Eye – Psalm

JUAN TRIP' "FIREPLACE"

“Consolation”, his last album, was an opera rock LP which charmed the world of directors (Broken English directed by Zoé Cassavetes and J'ai toujours rêvé d'être un Gangster by Samuel Benchetrit) as well as mainstream rock magazines (Rolling Stones).

Juan Trip’ has been manufactured by the past and “Fireplace”, his new album, is deeply influenced by psychedelic years. Although the production of its 20 tracks is perfectly arranged, well-thought and definitely turned to the future.

2008, Juan Trip’ is back with his new LP crossing Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane and 13th Floor Elevators. To sum up, here is one of the “must have” rock albums of the year which includes tracks with no limit between rock and 3rd millenium trip. Juan Trip’ is always on the run !

This is sure to do well and is already receiving support and airplays across the world.....you heard it here first!!! Offical release date, via Music Response: 8th September (Physical) , 22nd (Digital)

Son Of Decepticon

The City Burns

Camden rocker, techno junkie and keyboard player in the band “The Jonas”, Chris Shield gears himself for a foray away from the usual dingy UK live venues with his first electronica single “The City Burns”.

The original mix plays off his Depeche Mode style vocal hook which simmers on top of the heavy, jilted, layered base line and which builds it’s way upwards through the bleepery towards its dramatic climax.

Ludo provides the B side mix with an energetic house house mix caked with attitude and screaming synth lines.
