Brushes introduces suspense with Hitchcock-like strings. Excellent bass works keeps the floor shaking balance. Uproar on the dancefloor. At Plants things get warm and dark. A pounding mild basedrum gives a »who forgot to loosen the handbrake?« appeal. A check at the low frequency control shows »this place is crowded!« and the deepness of the track hits you. Nylon is most typical goldfisch + der dulz. Hopping rhythm, rolling basedrum, sample cuts just before recognition. Straight track language for a busy dancefloor. http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20268 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20268 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21440 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21440 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21499 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21499 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21513 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21513 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21444 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21444 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19658 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19658 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20735 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20735 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21105 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21105 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21195 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21195 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Only two weeks after the release of their first vinyl EP on Lebensfreude Records, here they strike again with a digital release made of selected remixes of their Make/Shift (hammer) track... Indeed dancefloors won't escape long from that concentred selection of sweet remixes coming straight from UK and Berlin. Britain is well represented in this remixes EP, in the name of Paul Loraine and Bigger Than Jesus, who both tailored their tastiest squeeze for our freshly new family members. Paul Loraine worms here in your mind a really sweet mental tune while a loudy groove is being delivered to your basement, kind of Bigger Than Jesus Xtra power for your body finest pleasure... Gunne brings us along with his own version full of personal know-how into a dreamlike sphere, that will let you choose either you're mind or body controlled ... http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20202 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20202 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21523 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21523 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Doppel Gänger is an italian duo based in Valdarno, near Florence. Their long time friendship and old-dated passion for electronic music made them start the project in 2008. Always seeking for new approaches, their formula is based on exploring the »grey area« in dance music, looking back at when styles were not so separated from each other. Great attention is given also to the narrative side of music, without forgetting the good old rule: »Less is more.« At Haseland their track »Cornstarch« introduces the new digital only release line. These releases feature one track and a bunch of remixes in a wide variety of styles. Lars Wickinger starts off by picking up the hard and dense energy level of his »Black is Back« (HAL 003) release. Do you call this techno or elektro? Berlin dubstep guru Mr. Boogie carries out a straight and scarcely decorated version with lots of bass. The english dancestyle ambassadors Fedupfaction from Osnabrueck add a large amount of diversity in the second dubs- tep remix. http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20267 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20267 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20660 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20660 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20871 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20871 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20873 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20873 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20780 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20780 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20791 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20791 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20136 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20136 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20903 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20903 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Just in time to warm the winter months up north (and soundtrack some seriously dreamy summer nights down south) comes a very special remix package for Mirko Loko's album Seventynine, featuring three certified legends of house and techno: Carl Craig, Ricardo Villalobos and Cadenza's own master of ceremonies, Luciano. And when we say "very special," we mean it: these are big tunes with a deceptively subtle touch, and their sleight-of-hand moves are going to turn all types of dance floors upside down. On the A-side, Planet E's Carl Craig tackles "Love Harmonic" and turns in what might just be his most expansive remix since Junior Boys' "Like a Child." Stretching to nearly 12 minutes and following a long, gradual buildup of rolling congas, you might not immediately realize quite how mammoth this tune is. It's only once you're in the thick of things, with those trademark C2 sawtooth drones slicing through a glistening haze of strings, that you feel its full impact: this isn't just a journey, it's a trip around the world in a hot-air balloon. On the B-side, Ricardo Villalobos takes us to a place only he knows how to reach with "Takhtok 'Hilery's Chant' remix (edit)," placing the chanting children's choir of the original at center stage, and framing them with a velvety curtain of fuzzy synthesizers and shirred, crumpled beats. The groove assembles itself around whispering shakers and a crisp handclap, with tiny percussive scraps left floating in the air; everything feels at once close up and faraway. Time doesn't so much stop as congeal into a swirling, bubbling gel; the liquid pulse is inside you and all around you. This is Ricardo at his amniotic best. http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20634 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20634 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Here they are, Monoblok & Pussyselektor are the brand new french members of the Lebensfreude family ! “ The underground is what the politically correct devastates. Being able to make a step aside, daring to make what the times do not take in count”. This is the leitmotiv that defines best the work and state of mind of Monoblok & Pussyselektor, an upcoming explosive duo composed of two activists of the electronic scene from the north of France. Yann Aubertot aka Monoblok is a born experimentalist and a master in the science of obscure audio plugins with a solid classical music background. Founder and curator of Rodoid netlabel, organiser of Paysages Électroniques festival, Monoblok has been playing around with electronic textures for the most part of his life and today he produces hybrid minimal techno with an experimental edge. Benoit Mascot aka Pussyselektor has been setting dancefloors on fire at many clubs and festivals in France and in Europe alongside the main international djs & live acts. Party promoter/Resident DJ at the famous underground Kiosk Club in Lille and resident DJ at N.A.M.E. Festival, he is also part of Signaletik Records as promotion manager for this new French techno label already supported by some of the greatest electronic artists. Since they decided to join forces, Monoblok & Pussyselektor have been busy producing and defining their own personal style by synthesizing their respective ideas and influences and putting them in synergy.

The result is a conspiracy of four sound frescos of peculiar beauty; and indeed they deserve the title ABWEICHUNG (engl. deviance) - named after Voigt’s painting featured on the cover. This is minimal art techno that raises questions.     http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20177 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20177 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20218 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20218 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20255 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20255 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20307 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20307 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 This is a debut on EYE, Fabrizio Pettorelli starts his new venture on EYE with this new release, very exiting indeed. You may have noticed it includes the Stefano Frisoni Remix of Baklha. http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21390 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/21390 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Romanian producer Mihai Popoviciu returns to Highgrade Digital and delivers music for the techno kids dancing sweaty in the strobe lights. “Recycle Soup” pushes forward in consequential harmonic phases. “Double Watt” keeps the pressure on with an ever reliable energy, withourt getting too carried away. While “Telematik” combines a crisp, dry sound palette with a suble funk bass. This is a release that grows and develops  with every listening. http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/17833 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/17833 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20018 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20018 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20069 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20069 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20070 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20070 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20024 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20024 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20132 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20132 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20137 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/20137 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Andromat 3000, aka DJ Mahatma makes a thrilling return on Highgrade 72. This is a release featuring three great tracks, with real hit potential. “Beatroot” opens the show with a classic aural landscape and a secure sense of style. “Brique” weaves it’s intoxicating rhythmical magic into Indio-Eastern vocals which make the atmosphere impossible to escape. And “Cheepnis” is the offspring of funk. Wide basses meet a chic disco fanfare sample for maximum effect. In addition to the vinyl comes a digital only remix of “Brique” from Mihai Popoviciu. If the original weren’t so hot, this might even be better! http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/17831 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/17831 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19741 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19741 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19738 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19738 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19664 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19664 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 n/a http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19601 whatpeopleplay.com, people@whatpeopleplay.com http://www.whatpeopleplay.com/albumdetails/null/id/19601 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Tino Boa now on Plattenbau-Music!
