With RETAKE ONE Berlins Moodmusic label is kicking off a new Mix CD series. The first edition is being delivered by Moodmusic homeboy Dave DK.

The idea for the Retake series was born, when label head Sasse has released the Starstyling Mix on the occasion of the Fashion Week 2009, including only releases from the label.

RETAKE ONE contains some classic and new unreleased Moodmusic tracks as well as influential material from the past 10 years. Besides Daves edit off Sasses Wrapper track (Penner + Muder Remix) the mix features three new exclusive tracks that will also be released on a separate 12: Dave DK - Will Be Gone, Axel Boman Cinquenta and Citycobra - Fresh Simple.

To present an 80 minute overview of his DJ style, Dave has handpicked some of his favourite tunes from his recordbox. To present a modern and organic sound, most tracks have been recorded from Vinyl, partly from Vinyl-only-labels.

With the focus being put not only on the music but also on the packaging and design, Retake One stands out in the present flood of mediocre media and music releases. Top designer Matthias Egil Last (awardee of the worlds best designed newspaper) has been called in for the artwork. No less than two photoshootings were necessary to come up with the final result. Last is also responsible for the design of the Watergate Mix CD series.

After his residencies at Tresor Club since 1999 as well as Panorama Bar since 2001, Dave DK has been a key figure in Berlins music community. Spinning nowadays regularly throughout legendary clubs in Berlin, Dave is also playing gigs all around the world.

Having released his first 12s on Raum Musik in the late 90s, the long players SENSORY OVERLOAD (2000 Müller Records) and LIGHTS AND COLOURS (2007 Moodmusic) were the highlights of his career which is now being crowned with RETAKE ONE.

Long-serving Scottish label Soma have announced details of Soma Compilation 2011, scheduled for release this December.

Beginning life back in 1991, the label founded by Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle (better known by their production name Slam) have been responsible for releasing such classics as Daft Punk's "Da Funk," Funk D'Void's "Diabla" and their own "Positive Education." 2010 has been another fairly substantial year for them: in addition to putting out music from Joris Voorn, Gary Beck and Silicone Soul, Soma proffered The Black Dog's Music For Real Airports — an LP that will likely prove to be among the most highly regarded in electronic music this year.

Contrary to its title, Soma Compilation 2011 rounds up this year in the life of the label. Music from perennial Soma producers Silicone Soul, The Black Dog and Funk D'Void rubs up against tracks from newer names like Harvey McKay and Gary Beck. Joris Voorn's remix of Samuel L. Session's 2006 club smash "Can You Relate" makes an appearance, while The Black Dog remix Slam's "Azure" which did similar damage of dancefloors in 2007.

Canadian techno artist Jean-Patrice Remillard, known as Pheek, will release his 10th album on Archipel, his own imprint. After waiting 4 years to produce a new album, Pheek worked on nailing down a technique of automatic writing to his music.

Once the concept in place, he used it to bring his intricate techno into a tale of surrealism, where non-sense take a fragile signification in the end. if the album were a painting, it would be a detailed landscape, rather than a focused portrait unassuming, until you take a step closer and realise the detail with which the brush strokes have been laid down.With a precise focus of not censoring himself, Pheek dove into archives, using discarded sketches, mixing old ideas to new ones into a dense collage.

While trying to detach himself from old patterns and not necessary having DJs on his mind, the album is made to slowly create little abstract worlds of rhythmic dreamy textures, where every excursion is a new one.Since he first started to release music, Pheek has been known to have a sound you can recognize in the first moments through his unique signature.This album will surely bring things to new grounds while keeping the same flavour.

Well produced, high quality Electro House like it should be by Gregori Klosman & Danny Wild. In their immortal words: 'please let me work for the NASA because I'm a Space Banana' will light every dance floor on fire. No doubt, check it out for yourself.

DJ Mes & Sonny Fodera present the 'One Night IN Oakland EP'. Together they have crafted a monster EP composed of three tracks that offer a little something for everyone, alternating between Jacking, Tech and Deep House. First up on the A Side is a storming re-edit of T-Connections' Do What You Want to Do.

With its distinctive funky touch, there is absolutely nothing about this track that doesn't call for some serious play time. The B-Side gets down and dirty with You Nasty. With its sick tech-house sound and addictive vocal hooks, You Nasty will keep those heads bouncing all the way home from the club. The third cut Feels Alright gets a little sexier and a lot deeper with scintillating percussion and a huge baseline that will creep into your ear and make itself right at home. This is a great package for all house lovers. Enjoy!

Support by: Richie Hawtin, Nic Fanciulli, David Labeij, Ronan Portela, Someone Else, Mirco Violi, Afrilounge, Sasch BBC and many others!
