It’s appropriate then that one of the founding fathers of Flamingo Recordings should choose to release NYPD as the next single on the European-based imprint. Revitalized for the 21st century by DJ Delicious and Till West and following on from their huge smash hit Same Man, the track comes with additional remixes from Funkerman and Alisson & Turner.

A progressive beast that has become a trademark sound for DJ Delicious and Till West, NYPD rolls with techno beats and an electro chic. Sitting comfortably on the most hardened dance floor as it would the most glamorous NYC hotspot, its bassline intertwines with its high synth sisters to make for a driving late night main room rocker.

Funkerman’s own remix not only captures the groove New York is famed for but offers up a succession of beats straight out of the techno manual. A darker affair than the original, he showcases an ability to capture the sound of the moment yet not distance himself from his funkier roots. Fierce vocal stabs, a driving melody and a string of sounds effects ciphered straight from what could be a 1980’s computer game, he delivers a perfect peak time tune with no hint of the NYPD blues.

Last but by no means least, Allison and Turner take the synths and multiply ten-fold to serve up another monster fit for any club. Enhancing those synths and the bass line from the original makes for a more intense experience whilst loading up on yet more techno beats.

What a difference a year makes… 12 months ago Garuda was but a word & a concept in the mind of a DJ/Producer. Now it’s a record label, a club night and a rapidly crystallizing sound in its own right.

Much the same can be said of its creator, Gareth Emery. This time last year he was a challenger, No.23 in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 chart and starting to put pressure on the established trance hierarchy. This year he’s there, ushered through the door and into the inner sanctum of the world’s Top 10 DJs.

This winter ‘The Sound of Garuda’ compilation will again define and underline Emery’s musical outlook. On both its ‘2009’ & ‘2010’ discs you will instantly get to grips with the sound combinations that have made both he and Garuda such a breath of fresh. The forward-gazing 2010 disc kicks off with man-of-the-moment Ashley Wallbridge’s sound-scaping ‘Harmonies’ and snakes a 80 minute passage through tunes including Wippenberg’s just-promo’d ‘Pong’, Sander van Doorn’s ‘Ninety’ and Marcel Woods & Artento Divini’s super-banger ‘Inside My Time’. You’ll also find previously locked-up-tight exclusives from Pulser (with the meditative, majestic ‘Broken Universe’) and Slovenia’s finest Beltek churning up a slow-burning transcendental storm on ‘Niagara Falls’.

‘The Sound of Garuda’ though is as much about the year still with us, as it is the one to come. In essence a condensed musical retrospective of what has been the greatest year in Emery’s career; it brings together the top 1% of the tracks he used to build states of sweaty synergism on dancefloors around the planet. In a super-fluid mixed manner Super8 & Tab’s ‘Elektra’, Jorn van Deynhoven’s towering reconfiguration of RAM’s ‘RAMsterdam’, A&B’s Club Mix of Oceanlab’s ‘On A Good Day’, Purple Haze’s ‘Bliksem’ and a dozen tracks more besides all lay down direct challenges to the speakers.

Naturally enough both discs are fuelled by a fair measure of Emery’s own production output. ‘Metropolis’ & ‘Exposure’ (the first Garuda singles) are both featured on the album, as is his forthcoming Emma Hewitt vocalled track, ’I Will Be The Same’ and his halcyon, lamenting remould of Oceanlab’s ‘Lonely Girl’.

The renowned DJs and producers are once again displaying their muscle and combining forces with illustrious talent to create nirvana in Nightplay, a truly unstoppable album. VANDIT’s New York boys offer something for every listener and know how to keep the hits coming.

Powerhouse vocalist Eric Lumiere kicks off with Back into our Lives and Off the Hook, delivering a swift one-two punch to amp your energy and set an electric scene for the album. A transport to the shimmering wonderland of Caicos Bay is complemented by Linnea Handberg’s graceful melody in Let You Know and Fisher’s ethereal notes in You. Soul and the Sun transcends perfect balance, again featuring Lumiere’s warm, delicious groove – juxtaposed by Fisher returning for All I Ask’s swimmingly cool interlude.

Around the corner is full-body, hypnotic stimulation with Bright Lights and Aruna’s stunning emotion in Ashley. Nick Stufano assists with heavy-hitters Music Matters and The Majestic – a tag team of chunky, whipping beats grinding their way across dance floors. Air in Phase strikes the iron while it’s hot, a vigorous stunner to keep feet moving. Fellow New Yorker Mike Saint-Jules takes the stage in Far From Reach, delivering the doctor’s orders: pure trance! Filo and Peri save some of the best for last with the slick driving beats of Black Ice and Amp’d Up – a smashing track that lives up to its name, forcing hands in the air and the volume dialed to 10.

Release: November 6th 2009

after moon harbour’s first artist album, the much commended “restless” by matthias tanzmann in spring 2008, comes the long-awaited ‘hello from planet earth’ by luna city express!

marco esmann and norman weber have been an integral part of the moon harbour inner circle from the very beginning, and have made themselves indispensable during the last four years as a dj and producer duo – consummate purveyors and subtle innovators of house. in the last few years the duo has forged quite a distinctive sound and their first album shows off the various facets of their love for this music, by keeping the balance between classic house with its us american roots and contemporary european developments.

“hello from planet earth” is an eclectic work which displays the essence of their sound – the key being the shape and ease of funk, a high musicality and a cheeky sense of humor. tracks which brim with this classic luna city express style house sound are “celebration of life”, “dream in berlin”, “ms gera”, “mr. jack” and “parish fair”, all filled with depth, organic funk and the right drive for the best hours in the club. in these tracks the berlin-chicago axis is clearly apparent, all done with the right amount of reverence while still looking to the future.

the album also delves further into an unseen side of the duo: introverted, dense tracks, inspired by dub and downbeat, like “plata”, “heaven’s gate”, “time & space” or “orange softcake”. the short interludes, „floripa“ and „magic bubbles“, 2 experimental ambient tracks, connect the dots and complete the package.

with “hello from planet earth”, luna city express have really come into their own, and the result is a more impressive sound than ever – reflecting both their respect and passion for house music.

After a some big remixes and a nice original outing this summer on Get Physical, Catz ‘n Dogzreturn back to their home label.

This time the guys team up with their friend, the hot producer Pol_On while also featuring the candid vocals of fellow mothershipper, Monty Luke.
This is a great single to check out as we wait for their new 2nd album for mothership due out inthe spring of 2010. The sexy analog sound of the original mix will fit well within any proper houseset, but I particularly prefer the “Drama Queen mix” which breaks into a beautiful melodic section3 quarters of the way through.

Label: mothership
