Since Beatport honored Nero with “Best Dubstep Act” in the 2010 Beatport Music Awards, things have been relatively quiet for Nero. Lucky that quiet time is over as Nero returns to the front of the pack with this solid dubstep number featuring the vocals of Alana. We’re sure you’ll be hearing this in mix sets until the middle of the year.

Deadmau5 and his merry gang of hit-makers round out 2011 with one final bomb of a release. This time, Feed Me joins the unstoppable rodent crew with an 8-track mini-album of bass-heavy tuneage called “Feed Me’s Big Adventure”. Mixing everything from electro house and dubstep, this latest offering follows a similar path as the Skrillex release, with equally as devastating results.

Phil Kieran re-releases the Skyhook EP. First released on Novamute, he has decided to re-release on his new label Phil Kieran Recordings. With some great remixes.

We welcome back Applescal with another techno stormer.

We started to work with Amsterdam based Traum artist Pascal Terstappen with his „Paul For President“ 12" in spring 2009 and introduced his clubby side.

Later we also discovered his dark electronic side and released 2 albums on Traum with him: "A Slave's Commitment" and a "Mishmash Of Changing Moods". He has meanwhile established himself amongst the forward thinking artist on Traum and it all also lead to the opening of Traum´s ZAUBERNUSS imprint for modern new electronics.

Now Applescal thought it was time to rock the floors again. With his new "Welcome To The Woods" EP. Pascal takes you by the hand and shows you his own personal world.

Painted by numbers, this melodic but highly dramatic colourful world of club music follows his own rules.

It is a fine blend of old school vs. new school, especially notable in the twist and slides.

With a skilful precision Applescal rises the level of intensity in the title track "Welcome To The Woods" with a light hearted and gentle approach... twisting the knobs in a dynamic and explosive way, bringing in melodies and twists.

"Forced Angel" connects well "Welcome To The Woods" in a way that gentleness and high dynamics meet here again. In contrast to "Welcome to the woods" this track has an alluring altogether feel to it. In a kind of felt "slow motion" the track reveals romantic images.

"Your English Song" seems almost folk, with a bagpipe full of lush sounds and enough tiny melodies to make it a full ballad, the track shifts dynamics, jumps from sadness to euphoria... this track shows all the greatness of Applescal.

Alec Tronique has been described as a multifaceted musician with releases on various labels such as Etui and Broque and Ipoly. He has remixed "Your English Song" in a way that has Kraftwerk and the Aphex Twin come alive. A pearl of elctronica that expresses his attitude to write modern "free form" dance floor music.

Traum´s artist ThermalBear has chosen "Forced Angel" for a remix. The English artist at times seems to hit sequences which could have come from Joy Division but then jumps into next gear and makes the cross over to an advanced breathtaking dubstep like track.

Showcasing our best tracks of the year, all bundled into one massive release! Includes tracks form MYNC, Umek, Dan Castro, Jacob Plant, Chuckie, Bar9 and many more!

Having released leftfield dance tracks as Skat on labels like Karat or Sthlmaudio, his records on Circus Company established Oleg Poliakov as an internationally renowned House producer. Continuing this string of releases, the 'Comet EP' introduces another view on his musical approach. With 'Stellar', Oleg tightens his grooves to a maximum. Creating an irresistible energy, the beats create an ideal stage for a reverent fanfare and a sexy voice only admitting: Shit baby, you got me mesmerized. With a contemporary and personal musical language, he matches the sublimity and dignity of the first House tracks of the mid-eighties.

The title track 'Comet' is conveyed by a deep bassline that puts one into a deep trance. But Oleg doesn´t let the crowd drift away: The whirl of a snare drum and the anthem-like saxophone hold the dancers firmly on the dance floor. 'Exoplanet' is one of these very special tracks that defy all stylistic boundaries. The furious beats astonish even longtime Broken Beats aficionados. The frenzy of the grooves is absorbed by the grace of detached Detroit sounds. Grown up in Rouen, France, Oleg Poliakov looks back on a lifelong exploration of electronic music and sounds.

Having worked at radio stations, he developed a sensibility for unusual, unique tones. His sonic library disclaims the stereotypical House sounds which one has listened to much too often. Developing a sonic language of his own, Oleg´s music is seductively beautiful and deeply mesmerizing. Another thing that makes his musical experience special is his former occupation as a HipHop producer. Having worked as a beat maker for a couple of France rap groups, he investigated the languages of rhythm profoundly. On the 'Comet EP', all these influences are not directly obvious to the listener, yet they enabled Oleg Poliakov to create such singular House tracks.

Man-like-Martijn Deykers slinks into motion with two outright killers on 3024. Remarkably, this is Martyn's first solo 12" of 2010, a year in which he dropped a crucial Fabric mix and expanded his label's horizons to draw blunted and Techno sounds into the fold.

With 'Left Hander' he cuts in from a broken house angle, sharing certain rhythmic traits with Altered Natives while firmly retaining his feel for soulful, classically-informed Detroit melody in grand style. On the other side, 'Shook Up' goes one step duttier, dragging the drums down to a gruffly accented swing while sly strings, twinkling keys and fluttering synth motifs imagine some infectious fusion of mad effective South London and Detroit disciplines. Basically, this 12" is lethal and your turntables want it, badly!

Superstar producer and live act Deadmau5 will release his next album in early December, entitled 4X4=12.

It's been barely a year since Deadmau5's last full-length, For Lack of a Better Name, and during that time the Canadian artist has continued his meteoric rise. In addition to churning out a half-dozen 12-inches since the beginning of 2010, he's become a fixture of festivals and big room clubs, thanks in no small part to his eye-popping live show, which The Guardian has grouped in with the likes of Daft Punk and Kraftwerk. It was his rigorous touring schedule that led to to one of the few low points in his career: a mid-concert collapse and the subsequent cancellation of nine tour dates.

4X4=12 boats 11 tracks by Deadmau5, several of which will be familiar to anyone who's followed him over the past year. "Some Chords," "I Said," "Sofi Needs a Ladder" and the Wolfgang Gartner collaboration "Animal Rights" have all been previously released on Mau5trap Recordings, while others like "Cthulu Sleeps" and "Raise Your Weapons" have been staples of his live act. Deadmau5 will support the album with a winter tour around the UK, which includes four dates with dubstep collective Magnetic Man.

With his Pattern Repeat releases and a clutch of 12"s on his own Baum Records label Dennis Bøg aka Resoe has made an impression on the DubTech scene. Backed by a chilling Sigha remix, he drops the rugged undulations of 'Minus & Plus', never quite settling into 4/4 but keeping the swing and roll simmering with loosely synced dub chords while 'Demoon' is more of a straight-up digital Dub tune in the vein of Andreas Tilliander or Echologist. If you've got a 'floor to put into submission we reckon the Sigha remix will come in very handy.
