Appearing on labels such as Yosthitoshi, Mark Knight’s Toolroom and Anjunadeep itself with his remix of Boom Jinx & Andrew Bayer’s ‘To The Six’, Matt Lange has been fast rising to prominence with his deep, detailed and intense sound.

Beginning 2011 with his first solo EP on Anjunadeep, the US-based producer opens with the aptly titled ‘A Deeper Shade’. Sonically complex and perfectly produced, ‘A Deeper Shade’ progresses through an upbeat rolling tech groove and weaves in hypnotic electronic textures that add a melodic, but melancholic vibe.

A more minimal and twitchy affair, ‘Other Stories’ is another haunting tech beast where rhythmic intricacy is key. Building to a crescendo of epic chords on the breakdown, the track releases back into a gripping groove as layers of proggy haunting melodies add both depth and detail to the track.

Most notable for his productions on classic label Nervous & Greatstuff, Mike Vale makes a smashing debut on 1605 with “Rising Up”.

The original mix is a massive feel-good Tech House number, with all the ingredients that make up a quality, pumping track. Drawing inspiration from tough, funk-fuelled samples and disco snippets, Mike really hits home with this one.

On the remix, we have none other than the Piatto brothers, who have been holding their ground as a firm household Techno for quite a while now. As expected, they turn the juicy original into a rolling monster, completely reworking the track into a stomping frenzy.

The third Pig & Dan EP on Imperanza.... This release totally fixes with ambitions where Imperanza has to go. This is a huge package of 3 wonderful tunes. Feel the spirit of the Pig & Dan trademark sound.

With a seemingly never-ending conveyor belt of techno production talent coming out of Italy it is a credit to the creativity and hard work of Sasha Carassi that his work can be counted in the upper echelons of his compatriot producers with release on Drumcode, Harthouse, Weave Music, Terminal M, Sleaze Records, 8 Sided Dice as well as his own Phobiq label.

Hexagon sets the tone for this incendiary three-track EP with a muscular groove pumping up the energy. A solid kick and rolling percussion provide a solid base for waves of building energy to tease out a tense ambience.

Tom Hades remix takes the original template and squeezes it hard in the middle to create a more intense build with squealing sirens and rising keys; subtly changing the focus of the track for more peak time deployment.

Octagon sees Carassi roll out a deeper, more linear groove. Heavy on percussion and infused with pulsing melodic riffs, the track is arranged with plenty of space around the elements to bring out the power of the bass tones.

The dons of Italian Techno strike back with their third appearance on Spektre’s Respekt imprint.

Throwing a curveball with ‘Spirit’, the guys have taken a brief departure from their usual sound, to grace us with a monster groove and an almost tribalish workout reminiscent of early sounds, yet once more filtered through the prism of the future.

Sasha Carassi stays true to the vibe and delivers a heads-down stomper with a riff that takes the track straight through proper Techno territory.

To top off the EP, the boys whip out ‘Spectrum’, a quirky affair which definitely reminds us of the familiar Phunk Investigation sound. Featuring a simple loop that is so effective... we can dare call it a Techno worm.

We’re very excited to announce that the last three EPs on mobilee have been produced by three of the biggest female figures in the music industry today.

After Anja Schneider finished 2010 and Miss Kittin kicked off 2011 for mobilee, it’s Maya Jane Coles turn now for mobilee074.

Maya is one of the freshest female talents who’s causing a stir with her memorable DJ- and live-sets, as well as original and unique productions. At the young age of only 23, Maya Jane Coles has burst onto the electronic dance scene with recent releases such as ‘What They Say’ on Real Tone reaching No.1 in the Beatport Deep House Chart and No.1 in Resident Advisor’s Top Tracks for October. Unsurprisingly, she has also won big support from the industry's most legendary DJs and is currently touring the globe on a tightly packed schedule.

Her brand new EP on mobilee “Beat Faster” contains three tracks, Beat Faster, Perfect Imperfections & Play The Game, each packed with energy, hypnotic grooves and an original flare. Maya draws influences from a very diverse range of musical sources, which is evident in this collection of excellent productions.

Justin Berkovi’s 1999 Djax Upbeats classic returns on Perc Trax with new remixes from Forward Strategy Group (Perc Trax / Stroboscopic Artefacts) and label boss man Perc, plus a fresh remastered version of the Justin’s original mix.
