Robbie Rivera drops his brand new single “Departures” on the legendary Black Hole imprint, with Lizzie Curious delivering the vocals.

Robbie’s own vocal mix of “Departures” is like a refreshing breeze on a hot and crowded beach shore, full of people enjoying the good times and dancing to the powerful beats of a solid and well prepared live DJ set.

Stunning remixes come from Cosmic Gate, First State, Chris Kaeser & Stonebridge, The Stafford Brothers and Billy Paul Williams.

Ending the year with a bang is the last offering from Juicy Music for 2010 - Jesse Voorn's "Everything is Possible" single. Four hot and heavy electro house bangers from the always ready to rock imprint, complete with a remix from Juicy Music man himself, Robbie Rivera. Big storming percussion, buzzing bass and party ready arrangements make this a must-have release for the big room NYE parties.

Popof is a French DJ/composer/arranger hailing from the rave party scene. A former member of the free-party underground collective “Heretik System”, Popof has now participated as a solo artist in countless events throughout France, other European countries, North America, Latin America, the Middle-East, Asia and Australia. In 2009 Popof created his own label ”Form” to express his artistic ambitions more freely.

To assure you a fresh start on 2011 Form releases a brand new EP by Popof called 'Wax Machine' just before the New Year’s eve. It will definitely make your first party of the year!

The EP includes four original tracks that vary from a playful sound in Wax Machine to a darker mood in Wash It! taking you to a traditional rave atmoshere in Devil Monkey ending the release with a fun track named Pasta Lemon. 

Reuter has played in various bands, from Punk to alternative Hip Hop and he certainly has already released remixes on MBF LTD before. He lives in the coal mining district of Oberhausen... home of eccentrics such as Schlingensief and Helge Schneider and he says: he is here to stay. He studies art and classifies himself as an abstract painter with a post modern attitude. Musically he connects influences from the past without totally disconnecting them from the roots. He likes to keep things simple and likes the technical limitations of the past. He would love to create timeless classics, but that is not up to him. With his solo debut, Reuter pays tribute to the “world of early house and jack”.

Starting with “Jack My Life”, this is a real stormer... it flies low level in full effect connecting the two worlds: the club and his spiritual contemplative side.

You can’t avoid seeing the classic references from Armando to Ron Hardy to... but the way he puts together all of this is new school. Keeping it raw and tough, he keeps the House music burning.

The follow up track “Backupinthismother”, focuses more on the spiritual side, finds its energy in what he calls “a quiet force”.

Recording artist and DJ... Nico living in the same district as him, has released on the sub label of Tiefschwarz “Souvenir music” called ”Souvenir plus” and “Slash” before.

She is known for her soulful vocals and unorthodox arrangement which she keeps up in her remix of “Backupinthismother”.

Nico´s remix has it’s best moments when the string joins her vocals... creating an impressive explosive cocktail of modern house music.

Resident DJ in Essen's “Gold club” Marcus Sur has released already an EP on Trapez ltd and one on MBF LTD just a month ago.

We think Marcus remix is a phenomenal uplifting rework of “Backupinthismother” slightly crossing the border of what he stands for with his own releases.

Finally Reuter rounds up his EP with “Night Of The Lunar Rainbows”, as there are rainbows that are created at night by the moonlight, he rides the beams with a synth driven deep pumping hell of a house track. This might be the most musical of all of his tracks.

”Spiritkeeper“, expresses also the position that there is a lot in music which you cannot verbalise.

Italy's MiniCoolBoyz shuffled onto the mainstage of techno in April, with their explosive SCI+TEC Digital Audio debut EP ‘You’.

The duo’s first release on Dubfire’s label since the US techno DJ proclaimed them “future stars of electronic music” [in a Beatportal interview], captured the techno zeitgeist perfectly, and the sound of its label head.

It is no wonder then that the MiniCoolBoyz seek to relight the EP's huge percussive-driven groove 'Rimmer Man' once more, with a sparkling new remix (out today) from Venice newcomer Marka T.

"This remix is a great rework of one of our most popular tracks," said Angelo Manicone from MiniCoolBoyz. "Marka T managed to express the dancefloor hummer mood of our minimal techno style perfectly with this version."

His rework breathes new life into the original's rim-mad centerpiece - it’s fast, dirty, and pleasingly fuel-injected, the kind of insane fist-pumping techno rhythm that Dubfire might drop after a toe-curling build up come 4AM. A techno bulldozer, if ever there was one.

There is also a new bonus track called 'Bounce' on the same release. Unexpectedly sensible, the cut is a further refinement and counterpoint to the MiniCoolBoyz' tough, unfettered rhythms that have so far landed on the likes of Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records and Italy’s Amazing Records.

"'Bounce' is a track dedicated to our fans," explained MiniCoolBoyz' Michele Colombo. "On the cut we used some dark vocal samples with massive snares and a powerful bassline, and we think it'll be perfect for the new parties of 2011."

The bassline on 'Bounce' is a sleazy, wheezy, pulsating monster. It pushes the track's analogue drum rolls and stripped back house beats down a straight path, before a cavernous reverb-laden breakdown lumbers onto the horizon pulling the rhythm out from under itself.

For a while the MiniCoolBoyz leave the dancefloor suspended, as if frozen in mid-air by a spell, immobilized, waiting for fireworks, as the groove is rebuilt out of individual drum hits and vocal mutterings before continuing along as though nothing had happened at all.

A purposeful anti-climax, it has a powerful hypnotizing effect, and proves that there could be more to MiniCoolBoyz than meets the bassbin.
