Eric Davenport is a producer / DJ from Long Beach, California who has released EPs for DoubleDown, In Tha Mix, Dulce, and Red Menace. Besides his original material, Eric has remixed for artists such as Roy Davis Jr., DJ Dan, and Gus Gus just to name a few. Twenty Twelve (known to his mother as Nick Rapattoni) is also from Southern California and has had releases on labels such as Red Menace, Twitch, and Life Music The �Original� mix is a solid, dancefloor burner, that soulfully moves thru spirals of mind-blowing filtered riddims and perfectly placed vocal stabs. The addition of funky guitars and live Rhodes keys sets this EP apart from many. Distinctive peak time gear to be played during the height of a set. The �Comfort Zone Mix� is definitely a mad dancefloor freaker and a must-have for any tech-house DJ. Tight percussion, wicked phat bassline, added with the seriously INTENSE filtered key and guitar riddims make this mix one of those trax that make you lose all sense of what is going on around you except for the mind-controlling, droning funk effect this mix offers. As phat as the original and just as rockin�, this version is also peak time material. The �Nice �n Easy Dubwize� mix is a more simplified affair. A deep funky tribal-tech groove chugs strongly with snippets of dubbed-out vocal & synth stabs. Perfect for a more chilled, late-nite affair.The �HATIRAS remix� is a deep, FUNKY, tribal groove-chugger with positively nice-and-soothing key riddims, solid breakdowns / buildups, and excellent use of the bassline as well as the fender Rhodes key lines.

Jez and Charlie have been signed to Tidy Management for over a year now and within that time have established themselves as DJs to watch for the future. They are of course, residents at Sundissential North in Leeds and have already had a number of releases on Vacuum and Sundissential Records. Their first release on Tidy is 'It's About Music' which, judging by early reactions from plays of the CD, is by far the best track they have ever done, obtaining noticeable support from Anne Savage in Ministry magazine (June issue) who put it at number 2 in her Top 5 of the Month. The Tidy Boys have also offered their support and have been quoted as saying that this is "one of the top 5 tunes of the year so far." The original has a very 'techy' feel with quirky percussion and sketchy vocal leading to the breakdown. This is where the fun starts with the introduction of the main vocal, before the awesome riff comes in and does the damage! It�s a no-messing track that has all the right ingredients to become another Tidy anthem and at the same time establish Jez and Charlie as rising stars on the circuit. On the remix front we have the Stimulant DJ�s who, to be fair to them, have had a well earned break, spending a lot of time in Australia and the USA. The guys don�t hold back and deliver a complimentary remix, which will leave all the Stimulant DJ fans amongst you smiling.

This is the latest release from Melbourne production duo Gab Olivier and Ivan Gough. You may have caught their last track, the sublime double A-side on ZT from last year - '2 Heavy / Dirty Logic�, which earned props from all who checked it and found it�s way onto numerous compilations. In these days of prog-by-numbers and re-hashed loops, its refreshingly different and subtle sounds will no doubt earn it a spin or two around the globe.

"A lot of people talk about dark music these days, and a lot of people claim that they produce or play dark music. But after listening to Zero Tolerance Records from Australia everything else sounds like commercial happy pop fodder. You can�t go any druggier, darker or deeper underground than this: low bass-lines, loads of reverbs and echoes, backwards satanic-sounding vocals. It makes you wonder what kind of dope they�re on over there. On both tracks the production is ace, the mix close to perfect and, despite the overall scary atmosphere, they even manage to keep it funky. The guys are never in a hurry: at 7 minutes there are still new sounds fading into the mix. And in Blackphunk for example, the first hi-hat starts at around 4 minutes, but there are enough subtle effects in the background to keep it interesting all the way." - FREDERIK � PAKO & FREDERIK (MAJESTIC RECORDS)

Majestic 12 is a name that needs no introduction. Famous for 'Sound of Today' and the 'Thunder EP' on Subliminal and not to mention 'Robodrop' on their own label Phenomenal Records, Majestic 12 carry on their recent good form for with this double-header release for Untidy. Both tracks are very strong riffers that just stick in your head and both have already received massive support from a number of key players but judge for yourself.

No Religion is one of Switzerland`s most popular crossover bands. Merging rock with tech-house has been the band�s trademark for years. So far they�ve released 2 albums and several singles / videos on EMI / Virgin records. During one of their tours they were invited by UCF (centre for the recording arts) to produce a show in Orlando, Florida, which was the first concert by a European group in America to be broadcast on the net. The band then charted in the US for over 20 weeks on commercial radio. This summer No Religion will be the first live act to play on a float at the famous techno and house festival in Zurich. This new track again melts electronic with rock elements and describes the path of the festival leading over the famous 'Limmatbridge'. An interactive video will visually support the track.

Their remix combines all the Greed trademarks with the fresh and pumpin' grooves that Absolut is famous for. Don't forget to check out his debut singles on Mechanism Recordings and SOG Records. Pow-Low's 'De Zurich' remix on side AA starts off with a stomping tribal groove that pushes strongly towards the mid break.

As before, there will only be 1000 copies of this limited release, so grab them while you can! The Phat Controller kicks things off in typically bouncy fashion. All the trademark elements are here � the crisp hi-hats, the tough kick drum, the rumbling bassline, the cheeky vocal sample and a seriously funky lead riff. It all comes together for the ultimate party tune � this will send the crowd dizzy. Avis Van Rental finishes off the package with a slightly more serious track but still with that party vibe. The rolling bassline takes center stage from the outset and is joined by the vocal and cool fx before a warped lead riff is introduced. The break builds and builds to a �thunderous� climax that bursts out of the speakers. Another limited edition not to be missed.
