Ice Cream Social pres. Tracks For Trainers "Woven Air" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.PB3009
'Woven Air' was written and produced by Mick Wilson of notorious Tilt fame and Parks & Wilson. This man�s history is too long to even mention, but everyone is familiar with his work. With such huge releases on Hooj, Baroque, Virgin, Perfecto, etc., this is Mick�s first solo project without his studio partners.The Abstract Art Mix of 'Woven Air' is the ultimate prime time record. The deep chunky beats and spacious swirling effects compliment the dark and evil break like no other. Think of Tilt�s 'Seduction of Orpheus' with an added twist. The nasty and disturbing samples will make you shudder with fear, but the crowd response will blow you away. The Deep Drums Mix on the flip is a smoother dubbed out version of this dancefloor monster with the subtle, twisted vocal stabs and effects building intensely into an uncompromising break.

Liam Shachar "Feelings" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.TEK009
Here we have a perfectly subtle piece of cool tech-house, as you would expect from Sunkissed�s sister label, that grooves, twists and turns towards a cool vocal snippet. On the flip Liam provides us with a slightly deeper �tech-dub� that takes a slightly different approach whilst staying in touch with the original. Liam Shachar was born in �76 in Israel where�s he�s working as one of the major DJs in the country. He�s played many of Tel Aviv�s venues including BPM and Downtown and has hosted 2 local radio station shows. He�s also produced for George Acosta�s Grooveman label in the US and Wellwicked Records (Nu Idol) in London. This is his first offering for Teknology since setting up his own recording studio near Miami.

Blue Phaze "The Bell" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.VR12013
This 12� is the 1st of a two disc set and features the original mix from Nash T and and a corking mix from Main Element, a.k.a. Gwill Morris. Gwill Morris has turned heads in the last year with a variety of work for labels such as Bedrock and Silver Planet. His A-side main mix is a Slacker-esque full-on growler of a track with a finale that�ll leave you scratching your head! Disc 2 (released 25th February) features the Oceanwave mix and the Main Element remix.

Organica "Find The Way Out" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.EVE01052
Signed at last year�s Winter Music Conference Eve had to beat various other labels interested in signing this Turkish duo. Already recognised in their own country as well respected DJs and promoters, 'Find The Way Out / Access Denied' is Organica�s first release, but that doesn�t diminish it�s beauty and class. 'Find The Way Out' on the A side oozes class from every pore: from the intricate rhythms and ball-grabbing basslines to the gloriously haunting vocals and luscious string washes, it has that uniqueness and quality that makes or breaks a label�s reputation. The flip is a driving affair, with a filtered stabby riff and a thunderous bassline coupled with self-raising strings and a powerful breakdown. Both tracks are also set to be included in the John �00� Fleming compiled 'Gods Kitchen' CD.

Samuel E Reeve "Rise & Shine" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.HOTWAX015
Sam has remixed and produced various tracks for the likes of Tidy Trax, Kaktai, Vacuum, and many more. Not bad for a 19 year old. Rise and Shine first saw the light of day early last year when Hotwax snapped it up. This track has been a long time coming.This track is a turning point in Sam�s style of production crossing over the usual hard house elements that Sam puts together like pieces of a musical puzzle and mixes it up with a more techie groove. The end result? �STOMPIN�. Duke Hazard a.k.a. Tweek gives us his version which sees his production take a new direction, veering towards the more darker driving side of hard house.

DKMA "Now Witness" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.CHG001
Chug Records introduce a new label with a first release by Dana Kelley. This Boston native is a pioneer in the production of house music in the US. Making records since 1995 under the aliases: Andrastea, Deep Theory, Callisto and DKMA, Dana�s music has always been innovative and at the forefront of the industry. The DKMA signature sound enticed the label to approach two of the industry�s biggest producers to remix the record: Barry Robb, also known as Sphere, with production partner Tim Skinner was asked to do the rework as their recent accomplishments on their own label have been groundbreaking. They come through with an arrangement that creates an even deeper atmosphere heavily fortified with percussive stabbing beats.

Dan has also been guesting at various parties round the country while Anthony has been a successful engineer / producer at Factory Studios, working on various projects with the likes of Brandon Block, Alex P and Judge Jules. �Lost� is an absolutely firing club track with an energy flash bassline, big sirens and some monstrous percussion to tip things over the edge. �Think About Me� is a slightly deeper affair culminating in a beautiful breakdown before it all comes kicking back in to finish things off.

Jon Novocane "Mercury (The Runner)" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.PLAT003
'Mercury' is a big room 'push' style trance floorfiller that has been rocking the likes of Gatechrasher and God's Kitchen in recent weeks. It's full of melody and gives you that euphoric feeling that has been lacking in clubs recently. On the flip is a pumping house version remake of a classic track that has 'hit' written all over it. Both tracks are currently gaining support from some of the biggest radio dance DJs as well as the top trance club DJs and has been heavily charted in all the underground charts.

DJ Nukem "Secrets" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.IMA09
DJ Nukem returns with the 9th Release on Chab's label Imago, and does loads to restore faith in the tribal end of prog. Nukem delivers another twisted piece of house music that has seen Tenaglia hammer this release on TP for the past 3 months. There is more frantic and vicious percussion that makes you dance like a man being attacked by killer hornets and there is also some wicked male spoken vocals that are very dark and haunting, but fits the track perfectly.

O.B.A. "Noah's Ark" Released 11.03.02 Cat No.BLACK03
The second release on Black comes from the darker, edgier side of progressive music and the combination of O.B.A. and Deep Amok means that Black continues with quality production and a distinctive sound to black records. O.B.A. hails originally from San Francisco. Emerging on the dance seen in the mid 80s, it was 1999 when his progressive sound really came together. Thereafter, 'Noah's Ark' was picked up by Black records. �Noah�s Ark� is a bass led cut that drops nicely into Black Records� sound. Driving from the outset, O.B.A�s is a dark cut for the top of the night. The Deep Amok Remix lends a tribal edge to things whilst giving nothing of the intoxicating bass away.
