Greek Techno legend Axel Karakasis makes his debut on Sabotage Records and, as expected, takes no prisoners.

Aptly titled "Torpedo", the original showcases all the fierceness Axel has accustomed us to, complete with intelligent programming and menacing stabs, making this an essential weapon. Like a torpedo, for instance.

The Dataminions remix noises it up a bit, taking it up a notch in their trademarked style, with hard, shuffling beats that bring you straight to the rave.

Youngster Anthony Castaldo has been making considerable waves in the scene recently, and here he offers a more straightforward builder, packing enough punch and darkness to bring a sinister smile on the faces of all technoheads!

Big room heaters from Belfast-based production duo of Psycatron, dropping their 2nd 12" for Planet E's Guilty Pleasures sub-label. Along for the ride, Blake Baxter contributes moody vox to the steadily building vibes and bolshy beats making a bit of a massive tune for anyone with a big club to keep happy.

Fresh from the Form family of artists, Definitive is very happy and proud to release the Crazy Circus EP from the UK duo H2. Check out why these guys are someone to stay tuned to.

Pampa Records is back with its sixth release. This one will be a split 12” of Isolée and Robag Wruhme who each drop tracks of their upcoming artist albums to be released on Pampa in 2011.

Side A: Isolée -Taktell

There it is again - the very unique Isolée feeling. This diffuse happiness that occurs. No matter in which club of the world this tune might be dropped, pure euphoria appears instantaneously. „Taktell“ is a warm, intelligent timeless piece of music. Yes, it's classic mesmerizing, melty, melancholic, terrific sounddesigned Rajko Müller material. Oh, that’s Isolée’s real name. Yes, it’s hard to believe something so beautiful could come from such a wretched species as homo sapiens. This is the kind of music that sounds like it was plucked directly from a dewy-leafed Haribo tree by a one-eyed synthasaurus. It’s an evergreen already and taken from upcoming Isolée album Well Spent Youth, to be released on Pampa Records on January 28th, 2011.

Side AA: Robag Wruhme - Thora Vukk

Robag Wruhme, by no mere coincidence, is also preparing his latest full-length album Thora Vukk, to be released in late March 2011. Robag´s festive anthem „Thora Vukk“, here in a special 12” edit, raises highest expectations on the upcoming longplayer, which guarantees the most exceptional & beautiful material that the world has seen in a long time. On „Thora Vukk“ THX-sounds meet frenzy-melancholy, tardiness on focused half metallic reverberations and half fairy-tale make-out sessions. This is the kind of dance music, that reflects the belief in the movement perfectly.

Manchester’s finest Paul Farrier aka Shadow Dancer is back after his succesful release of his 2 acid-house tracks on Boysnoize sub-label BNR TRAX. He returns with 4 diverse songs for all of us cool DJs.

“Catmoves” is a great mix of modern Disco and House, it’s repetative arpeggio bassline builds through the track and creates an atmosphere you surely fill up the floor with.

“Parallax”, our hit of this ep, is an epic disco-tech song, which gives you warm feelings and takes you on a journey to a sunny afterhour morning at Berlin’s Bar25 or maybe just memories of how good those old electro-disco Legowelt tracks were.

On “Murder Room” Paul delivers a groovy dancefloor murder track, an adventure room full of little sounds to brainwash ravers.

Last but not least “Lo Fighters” is an unreleased Shadow Dancer song from 1999, classic pre-millenium electro with a robot vocoder voice that motivates, the perfect song to close this ep in new classic electro feel. Electro 2011 let’s go!

As a digital bonus track you get Deadstock 33′s version of “Catmoves”.

Toolroom­ Records’ Selector Series returns for its fourth instalment with Rene Amesz delving through the extensive Toolroom vaults. 15 tracks have been hand-picked by Rene Amesz then carefully crafted together into a superb DJ mix that includes recent smashes such as Mark Knight’s ‘Sax’, the Belocca & Soneec mix of Muzzaik’s ‘Fat Patchy’ and of course Rene’s own ‘Balanceo’.

It has taken us some time to have a whole remix record of Kaiserdisco's album In No One's Shadow finally done... so now we can really say we have a good variation of perspectives.

Starting with the 2000 And One and DJ Madskillz remix of Amalfino. We sure do not have to introduce these two artists to you... we have been following Dylan's music for 10 years now since his early Djax Up days and so it makes us happy that he has found his way to us again after his remix for Dominik Eulberg's Grünschenkel remix 2007 on Traum.

DJ Madskillz is right next to 2000 And One a force in The Netherlands and worldwide, so teaming up makes their productions an even a stronger project.

What can you expect from the two other than reducing the original of Amalfino to the essentials and still get a bit of deepness going... fat, dry and to the point their remix need no stunts to rock every floor.

Yousef, who has released on Cocoon recently, has done a laid back melodic version of In No One's Shadow keeping it really steady going but mellow and deep. We can see this remix doing very well with a relaxed crowd like the one at the Panoramabar.

French legend Sébastian Léger's remix of Simplistix is a tough an technoid kind of techno-house-hybrid which resembles Sebastian's new style he is very successful with.

Slovenian artists F. Sonik's remix of Aguja focuses on a tripped out minimal style, which would work very well in a set with Bukaddor & Fishbeck's releases on MBF.

As a digital bonus we have Bart Skills deliver a solid groove with his In No One´s Shadow remix.

Different DJs will find their track on this release. We hope you enjoy this octopus of a release as much as we do!

In recent years the Berlin electronic music scene has become and opaque and complex mix of artists and styles. The city lives up to its reputation as the veritable mecca of techno, and the electronic wall of sound seems to bring people from all over the world. In this virtual ocean of rhythm and beats, Tom Clark and Benno Blome are like lighthouses: Two veterens of the scene who, since the beginning, and through their releases, sets and label creations, have provided musical inspiration for all those who have followed.

When these two dons decide to work on a collaboration, all of the dance obsessed masses sit up and take notice! The four tracks on their collective Highgrade release (including remixes from D.Diggler and Dario Zenker) will immediately flatter your ears. Concentrated, hypnotic and hammering beats subtly develop their own unique atmosphere. Clearly more than just a decorative accessory, the vocals sometimes whisper mysterious and dark, before coming back again deep and urgent. No wonder that they too are from another legend of the scene: British musician and DJ, A Guy Called Gerald. From the first to the last sound the result is a vortex, described by the name of the title track, "Falling". Let yourself fall into these tracks and listen.

Jetaime, staying true to our name, drop yet another large helping of sensual beats, with Volume 2 of our 'Love Session' series. Today's lesson's in love, are provided by some of our closest friends and label regulars. Each delivering a scorchingly hot original, set to send you into sensory overload. First up is Okain who, having brought us the incredible 'Acrobat' back in January, steps up again to reveal, what for us, is one of his finest works to date.

'Corner Boys' couldn't be more fitting for 'Love Session'. Its classic beats, sexy vocal sample and hip-grinding, oldschool bassline make it, ok not 'love', but most definitely, SEX!! Alex steps up himself on track two, and brings us the deliciously sweet and creamy, 'Sundae'. Inventive and ever so tongue in cheek, Alex matches iconic hip-hop, with his modern Parisian beats, to create a perfect party anthem. From the house-party, to the rave on track number three from, Varoslav. As its name suggests, 'Dancing Like Ghost' has a spooky and hypnotic feel.

The constant pulse of delicate synths, pierced by hollow beats and piercing hats, together with its demonic vocal, make it a perfect number for those dark cellar gigs. Finally, and rounding out the EP is Yakine, who delivers a fresh slab of Chicago-inspired house with 'U Dance'. Its killer B-Line, filtered Rhodes and spoken vocal, warms the heart as well as the feet, and make it the perfect track to round out the EP. Overall a quite stunning collection of tracks, that we are extremely proud of. So come and join us, and get down to some serious lovin'!!

"Fela" is the first single from the upcoming Audiofly album "Follow My Liebe". Audiofly's album debut has been a long time coming. Not just because of the nine years of production history that Luca Saporito and Anthony Middleton share, but also for the sheer volume and sonic breadth of the 12 anthems, EPs and sought-after remixes that they have amassed throughout their illustrious career Audiofly are true veterans of the scene.

Follow My Liebe is their long-awaited longform passion project that draws on all parts of the Audiofly spectrum; from dirty, jacking tech to the sleeker, dubbier, minimal shades of Audiofly X, and deeper still into sound design and ambient atmospheres that they have never before revealed. Follow My Liebe spans electro pop, techno, dub and downtempo, but is held together with a consistent vision of deep indigo tones, twilight atmospheres and early morning stillness.

Fela, finds its rhythmic grounding in the organic fusion of chattering voices and the peaks and troughs of Rhodes, for an Afrobeat infused slow-house burner. The ingenious remix skills of Tiefschwarz and David Squillace propel the original on further levels.

Audiofly have followed their hearts and melodic instincts for Follow My Liebe, for an assured debut that makes a seamless transition from DJ fare to home-listening and back again, with expert ease. Follow your heart and play it!

Another huge EP from the one and only Umek! This time, teaming up with Tomy DeClerque, he delivers two monster tech hits.

After the unprecedented success of Umek & Beltek's 'Back In The Race', Umek Uros is back this time teaming up with Tomy DeClerque. 

Already been supported by: 

Thomas Gold, Robbie Rivera, Danny Rampling, Axwell, Joachim Garraud, Daniel Sanchez plus a whole load more!

Piek & Danny Serrano are back on Sphera with a slammin House tune completed with remixes from mister Butch (Greatstuff, Cecille, Noir, Trapez, 100% Pure) and resident Siwell (Formatik, Toolroom).

Deeper than deep tech grooves from one of the masters of the genre. Jay proves yet again that he has the magic touch with atmospheric, hypnotic and groove led house music.

Trapher Keepher kicks things off with a funky acid baseline quickly followed up with claps and symbol rides that give movement and drive. Hypnotic pads lock you in and huge spiralling industrial sounds give this track amazing depth and atmosphere. Trapher Deeper is a stripped down and super deep version for the more dubby DJs amongst us.

Sad and Beautiful World is an amazing piece of music. It is as deep and trippy as they come and played at the right time would no doubt result in a crowd of tripped out content clubbers. Listen and enjoy; this is a special track.

New release by Belgian label Union Match Music: Compuphonic - Sequoia. Remixed by Glimpse & Lee Jones.

How did the lads run into each other? Compuphonic met Lee Jones & Glimpse during our label parties in Brussels during this year. Here's the scene. The club is overcrowded. Beats and shouts, hands up and smiles. It sounds good, it looks good & it smells sweat! It's always the same old story: chitchat, jokes, talks about music. Then Compuphonic played his "Sequoia"... That was the starting point.

This EP is definitely about emotions. The original "Sequoia" is deeply marked by Compuphonic's melodic preoccupation. Lee Jones & Glimpse obviously agree with this commitment to melodies & emotions. They kept that so recognizable melancholic "sound" & they reshaped the structure by taking different ways to sublimate the original track. Glimpse stayed in a housy filmic mood. Lee Jones went a bit more tech-house. Close your eyes & listen to thoses tracks: you might find something cinematographic in thoses remixes.

With his first full studio album in nine years, Play It Loud!, due for release in February, Marco Carola offers a taste of the forthcoming LP with the Groove Catcher EP. Encapsulating Carola's approach to techno in both sound and title, Groove Catcher is the Naples producer at his best, with a rolling bassline punctuated by a percussion pattern that teases out the funk of the track in Carola's trademark style: pacey and direct, but with enough bounce and fluid.

So as we roll into 2011, Systematic Recordings up the ante yet further, yes it is possible, with a string of releases that are not only dressed to impress, but are also set to blow our minds...

To ease us in, warm our cockles and banish those winter blues, the label go house, and welcome Cologne based duo Patrick Keuthen and Robert Glaser, aka Dualton. Whilst their music passion is rooted in Hip-Hop, Rap and R&B, the duo have discovered and developed a love for soulful, groovy house rhythms.

Utilizing the Urban influence in their productions, Dualton have gone on to sign records to high profile labels including VIVa MUSiC, Soulfooled, Defected (keep an eye out for their forthcoming single "Formula", with its Reboot remix) and Be Choosen.

We are excited to welcome them to the Systematic family with the "Face Off" EP. A rough and groovy piano-lead tech house number, backed by an excellent, deep and Chicago-tinged remix from Superlounge (produced together with Alex Niggemann).

Also on the package is the booty-shaking, rump-rippling cut, "Remy". A number that we are so crazy in love with. Check it!

2000 And One, Reboot, Deetron, Marc Romboy, Catz N Dogz, Ramon Tapia, Phonique, Markus Gardeweg, Motorcitysoul, Coyu, Uner, Wally Lopez, Christian Smith, Okain, H.O.S.H., Gorge, X Press 2, Tania Vulcano, Brothers' Vibe, MANIK, Groove Armada, Kaiserdisco and many more...
