Title:	Neowoogie
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 003CD

"Welcome back to the global amusement park of Boxer Recordings, and again it's Frank Martiniq who takes us on a fantastic ride through haunted splitter house. His third album Neowoogie is a masterpiece of weirdo shuffle funk and -- according to Tobias Thomas/Spex magazine -- 'one of the most striking minimal techno-shuffle-boogie-Michael Jackson-disco-jazz-noise-records around....'. Respect! Neowoogie is another great milestone in Martiniq's success story, after the first two albums pmf8 and Schwingkomplex, not to mention his dancefloor-killer-tracks 'Adriano' and 'Gigoletta'. Even higher scores for Martiniq's terrific precision when chopping up his songs into single notes which he later engraves, displaces, and processes in transparent, glimmering microfibre layers. The result is a most amazing complex groove structure."

Title:	State Zero
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 008EP

"'State zero' -- Node 1's first track. A record like finest espresso. Strong and beautiful. The a-side featuring a track to die for. Half a century of friendly synth sound planes where Jost Menke and Oliver Grunau remind you and themselves the good times when computer music was regarded and discussed as both a blessing and a Curse. Node 1's reply is a cuddly techhouse track, extremely vital. A track that turns everyone immediately into real fans. The perfect pass forward on to 'Sweet' Reinhard Voigt: in the loop generator, he mercilessly chops up the bass and snythie bits until they turn into straight dance monster. The result is a straight floor shaker you can only say yes and amen to. A track for all those dancefloors around the world feat. The minimal Cologne-style."

Catalog #:	BOXER 019EP

"This is round two at Nîmes' Tempodrome with Delon and Dalcan again boxing full of pressure towards the bright side of the dance-floor. With their new record 'The law of Silence', the two guys from France not only come up with three dry and hefty, really rocking deep hits, but they also prove that -- thanks to the unbelievably straight synth sequencer funk spiced here and there with their characteristic, nice little shuffle breaks -- they will very soon compete in the same weight division as Tiefschwarz and Blackstrobe."

Title:	Late Night Toolz Pt. III of III
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 020EP

"'Use Fuse' is the warm up which takes us on a long trip into minimal techhouse: 7 minutes and 35 seconds of endless, delicate, crispy strings accompanied by a steadily rolling, comfy bass. 'Baffle', baby comes along in the beloved stirring-weirdo micro boogie style, a hot and sweaty piece of understatement, the secret wolf in sheep's clothing. And at the end of the play time, Martiniq shows us again how good he is and presents us a track of genuine cologne shuffle folklore in western boots: 'Dope Dot' will take even the last head nodder off his bar stool and straight on to the dance floor, right in the middle of the speakers and with his air banjo guitar in his hands. So here come your new and third master tools made of chrome-vanadium-steel by Frank Martinq."

Title:	Tuning 1
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 022EP

"Viva la tuning! According to Brockhaus, the term 'tuning' is defined as follows: 'the upgrade of a vehicle as far as performance and a styling is concerned' we, the Boxer team, have chosen the term tuning and asked the masters of the turning and screwing guild to re-style some of our Boxer's tracks. Tekel and Dirt Crew start this show race from the front row and presenting us most stylish and refined tunes. Team 1: Tekel the French duo Delon & Delcan manage not only to deconstruct the whole set of 'No Speak', but also to re-construct this track again by adding a new, powerful bass drum, spiced with loads of talent, routine and experience. The result is a new type of minimal techno smoothness that takes over the dance floor on the fast lane. Team 2: Dirt Crew and here, it's the other way round. A new body combined with the old powerful motor of James Hoel. And really, this is the lightest way of going through the wind tunnel ever. This is purest functionality! And at the running-in, we sway the acid flag."

Catalog #:	BOXER 023EP

Remixes by Misc and Robag Wruhme. "A great artist who has been -- and hopefully will stay -- loyal to Boxer since its first catalogue number. 'Boost', already a hot hit on the 'Late Night Toolz Series', has been re-mixed and re-shaped and comes up in a really knacking and kicking remix double pack; simply perfect for the best time of the night. Misc turn on their stylish equipment and have the full demolition charge run through the original version. The result can be defined either as wide-legged nuance rock or detail-loving wide-screen techno. Robag Wruhme, who has already made a helluvalot of fab remixes, just let things slide...experienced but nevertheless minimal and functional, Rogab W. presents us a really stunning hit."

Title:	Tuning #02
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"

Catalog #:	BOXER 024EP

"The second race for the Boxer Tuning Trophy 2005 is about to start. Both teams have presented an outstanding qualifying race and will now start from the pole position. Here comes the starting grid: team 1: M.A.N.D.Y the drivers Bodmer & Jung, at the booka shade box, again and as usual will start from the pole position. Their rather rough style is remarkable and unusual for M.A.N.D.Y. maybe this will be their new start for 2005. In a groovy and unerring way, they are chopping up the track 'Donauwellen' by Wessling & Schrom until the VIPs at the tribune take off their fur coats and start indulging in the finest, excessive champagne celebration. Cheers! Team 2: calmer in the beginning comes Frank Martinq. Four years after his first race for Boxer, he finally is raring to go for his second one with stunning revolutions per minute at the sudden kick-down of the inner side -- full of grip and grit."

Artist:	DUOTEQUE
Title:	EP One
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"

Catalog #:	BOXER 025EP

"After the terrific name-dropping on the recent Boxer 'Sport' 12" releases, for example M.A.N.D.Y, Robag Whrume, Tekel and the really hot Dirt Crew, you may now wonder: 'who the hell is Duoteque?' And here comes our immediate answer: Duoteque is Andrea Fearlin and Dusty Kid, two Italians from Sardinia. Sounds charming, dreamy and idyllic, doesn't it? But that's what it is, indeed. The minimal tech house sounds they present us with EP One/ Boxer 025 are fresh and easy going: whizzing high-heads, whispers and words, deepest bass lines and most unusual sounds. After you have listened to the record for the first time, you will think of one only word to describe it: trippy."

Title:	Little Fluffy Crowds
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 026CD

"The master of minimal Shuffle-Michael-Jackson-Disco-Boogie-Jazz-Noise-Techno is back and right in time for the new bathing season at the house of Boxer. After Martiniq's various trips to BoxerSport, Sender and Areal, he is back at Boxer and comes up with 11 new tracks. Yes, it's him, Frank Martiniq and his new, compact treasure of music lives up to any expectations of his fans in the CD player world; not to mention that he is already among the most favourites on both sides of the global record players thanks to his three 'Late Night Toolz' 12" series. And his moving from Neumuenster (up in the North of Germany) to Cologne -- the metropolis as far as electronic music is concerned -- was definitely the right decision. Here, Frank Martiniq, inspired by the vibrating night clubbing scene and the revitalised fun to party, more and more commits to the 4/4 beat with its inherent dance-guarantee. He is famous for his precision in elaborating his songs to the smallest score and shifting them into transparently shimmering micro fibre layers. The songs thus created are always amazing, always new and throughout funky. His music is both, great for the dance-floor and good for the mood. But one thing is for sure: Pop music will save the world, and this should be reason enough for us to love this record. And you will certainly love it, too the more you'll listen to it."

Artist:	DELON & DALCAN
Title:	Hush Is Not My Friend
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 027EP

"After six months of cease-fire, the tech-electro mafia is back. In the meantime, they have rocked every single rave around Montpellier, Nîmes or Marseille. Their names might not sound that familiar to German ears, but Andre Dalcan, the man behind Scandium, and his buddy Greg are omnipresent in France and famous for their great tunes. Their numerous DJ gigs are the motor of their productions. Preferences for certain sounds are adapted and processed, and technical procedures up-dated. Whoever knows Delon & Dalcan's other records, will not be amazed that Tiefschwarz & Black Strobe again have spun off for this third release. But one thing really is striking: the merciless straightness. 'Panik' gets out the smart rubber mallet, 'Friend' however, is more minimal and laid-back, and both tracks prove that Delon & Delcan have come to the point and got the principle of cause and effect within all the cables and blanks. Well, big words for two extremely nice guys, and I will put these on the assay-balance at the jewellers later myself. The third track of the album, however, is perfect for lovers of Blackstrobe sounds. But now again in brief: Delon & Dalcan present us three straight French tracks with full synth power that can be matched with the crème-de-la-crème of the techno studios in France."

Title:	How We Gonna Fail Now?
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 028EP

"On Boxer Sport, Johan Fotmeijer aka Claudia Bonarelli comes up with an unusual shuffle hip hop track that is far away from the functionality of his 'Televerket' tunes released on Italic. But how can we call it when after 30 seconds of consequent shuffle beats, the MC of superscientifiku starts with rhymes that sound as if this guy would spend his whole life in an effect box? Maybe shuffle-effect-hop-house? But no matter how you call it, fact is that we are deeply convinced. And Boxer artists Frank Martiniq and Delon & Dalcan round the whole thing up. A kind of homemade style! Without hesitation, they put the shuffle straight and let the MC rampage in the effect box without electricity. In other words: straight, funky, functional, essential and a class on its own."

Artist:	GOLDFISH UND DER DULZ
Title:	Ding Dong
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 029EP

"Joerg Fischer & Maurice Dulz, aka der Goldfish und der Dulz. If on Playhouse, Moon Harbour or Boxer Sport (with their recent release 'Higher Energy'), whatever they do, der Goldfish & der Dulz always come up with a real hit. 'Ding Dong' might sound a bit of a bell you can get at your local do-it-yourself store. Far from it! 'Ding Dong' is an ode to stylish rave music with sound planes that are full of butterflies and hypnotising bass lines that unmistakably tell you: 'Move your ass!' 'God is a Producer' on the flip side, it is a bit more romantic: 'I Wish' -- is a deep, soulful, and damn sexy track. 6:37 minutes of purest techno pop for you to dance around your lovely at the club in order to meet him/her later in a bar to have a pint of beer together. So, what are you waiting for? And finally, in the injury time, the guys from Bremen come up with a real smasher. As worthy as Tejada in sneakers and a trendy coat, they celebrate techno as a most gallant, diversified form of intelligence. Internal dynamics all inclusive! Our result: this is light-footed tech-house with the special charisma."

Catalog #:	BOXER 030EP

"Team 1: Hemmann & Kaden. Hemman & Kaden from the racing stable Freude am Tanzen / Musik Krause excel in perfect teamwork. Notebook-based and by systematic fine tuning, they have managed to present a dream start at the third grand prix de techno. Tuning is fun and that's why this track is called 'Bassboxer Mix.' Underneath, there is a mighty buzzing and above, there are smart hi-heads. In the second and third sector in particular, the duo shows the best lap time with merciless efficiency. The inevitable pit stop/break is professionally done in 9 seconds, drum roll inclusive. Go for it! Team 2: Patrick Chardronnet. Patrick, known for his races for Raum...Musik & Poker Flat, has become one of the top newcomers thanks to his most elegant driving style. After a smooth start, he drops a bit behind, but his fans don't care. Because everyone knows that his turbo bass is going to detonate in lap two. The pit stop box is vibrating and the fans at the grandstand are mafficking. He is catching up, but the driving style is really exhausting: Patrick has to come to the pit stop three times. He meets his stony-faced fans with a rhythmic motor howling and an almost unbelafter his finish."

Title:	You Know All About Drags
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 031EP

"And this time, Andrea Fearlin and Dusty Kid have produced a stunning first class record. 'Drug Queen' is a real pusher perfect for the prime time, it's the ultimate weapon with a killer bass. At the moment, Michael Mayer, Tiefschwarz and Dominik Eulberg are all playing this track again and again. Whoever thinks that we are exaggerating excessively again we recommend listen to this record very loudly ... really, really loudly! And then, any further comments will surely be unnecessary. Duoteque's second track 'Elektronischze' comes along in a devil-may-care and fresh style and is our insider's tip on the flip side: a deep, smooth, electro-like hit that slowly comes from behind and surprises you at the front. Spiced up with finest vocoder voices, Duoteque have managed to create a bit of '80s retro music that doesn't sound retro at all. Got it? 'Moma' is even deeper, it's more soul, it's more ecstatic."

"Dear friends of Boxersport, the EU expansion is still going on. And that's fine! Because otherwise, we wouldn't have had the pleasure to experience this nice town in Poland called Sosnowiec near Katowice where -- completely insulated -- Maximilian Skiba, our new signing, has been producing great tunes for quite a while now. When listening to the demo we thought great Jean Michel Jarre has moved to Poland now sending us, the little nice label in Germany, tracks under the pseudonym Maxim...but far from that! Inspired by good-old Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk and Liaisons Dangereuses 12" releases. And his tracks are so incredibly fresh and funky, you won't believe your ears! A real phenomenon! And with these four electro tracks he has managed to give you a better understanding of Sosnowiec and his music. He has taken our hearts by storm..."

Catalog #:	BOXER 033EP

"It's really amazing that this guy, next to his innumerable DJ gigs and live acts, still finds the peace and enough time to produce such stunning tracks. Thank you, Frank Martiniq, great job. This time, Frank comes up with two minimal-techhouse long-range bombs. Two sweaty tracks of purest understatement. 'Extrashark' is the legendary wolf dressed in sheepskin. It's Boxer's kind of Mike Tyson of the straight bass drum and again Frank Martiniq proves that he has neither lost his bite nor that his straight bass drum is always straight. Rumbling very angrily and smashing everything, this bass monster is closing in on us. 'Dumb de Luxe' however, rather hits the sweating techno-funker straight into the disco heart. Frank's characteristic, hypnotizing and uncompromisingly slick rocker offers everything you need for a typical mayday atmosphere."

Catalog #:	BOXER 034CD

"You will ask: why on earth another compilation? Well, we have to admit that no one really needs another compilation if you look at the flood magazines, CD stores and other sufferers have to face. The situation is rather inflationary...but.. we have to reply at this point, up to now, we have been completely innocent, apart from some sampler contributions. That's why we are washing our hands of it and think it's more than alright -- after 32 12" maxi releases and 4 albums -- to finally come up with a representative cross section of our label work so far. So here comes a selection of 11, well matching tracks on CD that are not meant to give you a complete overview, but rather an idea of our style and taste. From Boxer 01 by Frank Martiniq that made a great start thanks to Michael Mayer's contribution, the early 2004 12" releases by Frank Martiniq and Delon & Dalcan who paced the style and way for the following two years, to the new entrants Duoteque & Maximilian Skiba. This CD is a cruise through the different Boxer volumes, from the prime time A-side to the beloved, wacky B2 track." Artists include: Johan Fotmeijer, Duoteque, Delon & Dalcan, Goldfish & der Dulz, Frank Martiniq, Ada, Michael Mayer, Stefan Schrom, Maximilian Skiba."

"Shortly before the turn of the year, we abandon ourselves to this 'Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle,' too. Here comes a hot sound mixture of Revival-Rock-Techno tunes blowing straight into your well-groomed headbanger's hairstyle. The UR-version on A1 is so simple and rough, it's brilliant. The brute force of rock and techno make a perfect match. Headbanging and air guitar included. Cranque, Unique and Nicol from Hamburg-based label Einmusik however, present are more minimal rework. The bass line is the same, but the techno bass has been added. Sometimes straight, sometimes spiced with a bit more shuffle. Nevertheless, the track is really pushy and after 9:26 minutes, it leaves its very own marks, too."

"Finally, now in the early days of 2006, 'The Boys are back in town' again and come up with remarkable sounds: straight and functional, pushy and full of synths. Simply: perfect! Now, they regularly meet with Tiefschwarz & Black Strobe at the Business Class check-in, off for the next Ibiza rave, chatting away on music productions. 'Sorry, may I have another tomato juice on ice, please?' That's the way life goes, now, that they have become part of it. And we think, they really do deserve it!"

Title:	Leave the Juno Planet
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 037EP

"Duoteque! Andrea and Paolo, the two hell-raisers from Sardegna, are exactly what we like. With Leave the Juno Planet they seem to have gotten a taste for it and keep on driving down the road of success. 'Adyra' is a 9-minute trip going deep into and through another world. This track creates a very own psychoactive ambience, yet it is still so easy and fleet-footed that no one will get lost or will even have time enough to get a drink at the bar. Please follow the straight bass drum and see and be amazed what is happening around you and what 'Adyra' is for the senses, 'Amacord' is for the body. If you like, take it as the yin and yang of a 12" maxi single. Here, the white shark meets their earlier hit 'Drug Queen' -- and it is nothing but consequent that this is going to be a life or death battle. And it is nothing but consequent, too, that your role as a gazer turns quickly into the one of a complice. But watch out, don't get caught."

"The two young and lively sunnyboys from Sardegna are producing one hit after another. This time, it's 'Daki Theta.' The original version is charming, cocky and with loads of pop appeal. Enlivened by the sun, the sea and the everlasting party, Duoteque allow a deep insight into their souls. Just perfect! 'Kyra' is a classic disco tech stomper: challenging, full of bass and funky as hell. And at sunset, you will see the seagulls nodding their heads in the picturesque sea landscape...far from having anything to do with bird flu."

"'April showers bring forth may flowers!' -- and Boxersport keeps on rocking you! Well, it's neither showers nor flowers, but actually three smart tracks from Italy and after the Duoteque release, we proudly present: Mauro Alpha! On the A-side, you'll get a deep & dubby original version and a remix produced by Lucca Moris & Paul C that pleasantly reminds us of Alex Under sounds. The flip side, however, with the remix from NDKJ is a real, heavy sledge hammer. Fans of science fiction will say: 'Scotty! Energy!' up to now, only the Kompakt staff had the pleasure and chance to listen to this stunning record."

"here are Goldfisch & der Dulz -- they are back and still on top. 'You Never Walk Alone' is what the two nice guys from Bremen want to tell us. And they mean it, as far as the champions league is concerned! All four tracks have passed the qualifying with flying colours and meet up in the finals: the offensive 'Uhu,' the aesthetic creative team 'Elkino,' the surprisingly flexible 'Meet the Monsters' where the goal keeper is actually an indie bass guitar, and the constantly active power wonder 'Teenage Confusion'. But as is generally known, there will be only one -- and it's up to you now to decide. But hey! The year after next year, Cologne's soccer team will surely be back in the national premier league. And till then, it's our music straight from the heart of the cathedral town!"

"The Cologne-France connection is at full speed again. After Delon & Dalcan, Hoel James and Soon Matzak, it is now up to Paul Nazca to follow his Scandium label partner André Dalcan (Delon & Dalcan) to Boxer. And if we have a look at the statistics, it all looks really promising to us. Not only the ones mentioned above have become widely accepted and appreciated in Cologne, but also the recent French initiative on Kompakt (Oxia, Tom Pooks, Bastien Grine, Steadycam, Florent) was a real smasher. After a three-year break, Paul Nazca came up with his Ranran EP released on F Communications. And now, he presents his second one on Boxer. Starting from the smashing trance hit 'Sleeping,' to the staccato-like track 'Western,' which is a real physical experience and the pure dancefloor burner 'Svell' -- all three tracks prove that Paul has finally arrived in 2006. Zinedine Zidane retires, but Paul Nazca is back! A great deal!"

"Well, the title of the original track 'Kill the Disco' is not what the music is about. Henrik von Sivers actually uses hand claps, synth power and drum rolls and the result is purest, stunning 4/4 Swedish disco music. This is finest high energy. So let's stomp, clap your hands, step forward with your right leg, step back with your left leg and find yourself on the ceiling. Oh là là! 'Kill the Disco' -- long live the disco. For everyone who prefers the more minimal and dry way, the 'Meaty Minimal Dub Mix' will be just perfect. This track is rocking through the speakers, packed with loads of bass and acid-ish knarzing sounds. A perfect match to the original version! Misc. adds the necessary aggressiveness for the large-scale rave party, but still with loads of charme and esprit. Unerringly, this track will rock your club until the walls break down."

The result are two stunning tracks that can be regarded as vehicles for the transport of personal thoughts, feelings and perceptions with a strong focus on Frank's reawakened love for Detroit sounds. Frank Martiniq takes us on a trip into his most private world of sounds and emotions so far...and suddenly, it's summer again!"

Lee and Nick are spinning over the curvy, asphaltic track, unblushingly thwarting their competitors' effort. They are famous for their delicate groove and optimum sound density, and with a watchmaker's precision, they dissect and reconstruct every single sound... so it looks as if they will do it in the training. Team 2: Zimmermann Jens used to drive for Room Records before. In this Boxer Tuning race, he drives with his eyes blindfolded and under the influence of some hallucinogens, but still -- and of course -- like a sovereign.

The result was a really smart minimal track that was considered the highlight of this release. Really hot and appreciated in Italy for their numerous records, it is now high time for Luca & Paul to conquer the German market. The title does not want to polish the apple, it's rather meant to be an omen for the the EM 2008.

"Finally, after almost two years, mother label Boxer Recordings proudly announces its new album release: prospective pharmacist Nicolas Matuszczak comes up with 10 of the world's finest pearls, full of sparkling charm, sense and sensibility, lightness and elegance that only a young French debutant from Nîmes can create. Matzak seems to be in good company in this pretty little town: Delon & Dalcan, Paul Nazca, Florent, 22 Crew and a number of the most successful producers who live and work in Nîmes.'Might Is Right, his first and only 12'' on Kickboxer, was praised by DJ Koze, Dominik Eulberg and many others and entered the charts. And this is exactly the point where his album continues: electronic, playful and cosy, home-y sounds. But Matzak is far from being an outmoded songwriter. He knows very well where and when to place the sound planes, he knows the inherent beauty and details of the drums and the powerful energy of the piano when placed at the right time. And apart from his impressive musical skills and his extraordinary feeling for the right moment, his strength lies in the nice and intimate stories he loves to tell in his tracks. His album Life Beginnings is literally pregnant with meaning: it has been created over a period of nine months and accompanies a growing love and the growing new life of his daughter. Ultrasonic scan by scan, feeling by feeling."

Since 1358 precisely, when Bremen entered the Hanseatic League. That's for optimizing your knowledge. And apart from beer, coffee and fish, here comes another superior export article from the Hanseatic city: the maximum of minimal techno music made by Maurice and Jörg."

Catalog #:	BOXER 056EP

Marascia presents two cocky prime-time smashers. He is known for remixes he did for legends such as Todd Terry, John Aquaviva and Richie Hawtin, and those achievements say a lot about what this guy is made of: finest, precious wood from Italy. Precious wood is characterized by a beautiful and strong coloring, striking contrasts and breathtaking grain. Other particularities are its heavy weight and high density. Altogether characteristics that -- if transferred onto his music -- would produce amazing interfaces.

Title:	Dirty Tanzer
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 057EP

Delon & Dalcan come up with a kicking, mouth-watering 12" herald: "Tanz! Dance, baby!" Solo, with or without, animal or flowing, extrovert or completely withdrawn. Modern or nostalgic, Rhythmic or off-beat. Eyes shut or absorbed in artificial dust. Twitching, arms rotating, hair-tossing or nagging at the beer bottle. Drenched in sweat or flirting and intriguing. Bare-footed or wiggling the bum. Shining or knotty. Don't care as long as you move your ass along with the music. And Oxia and Kolombo help Delon & Dalcan to keep you moving.

Artist:	DELON & DALCAN
Title:	Tanz
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 058CD

This is the debut full-length release by French artists Delon & Dalcan (Greg Delon, André Dalcan) -- DJs, sound artists, organizers and mainstays of the Nîmes house scene. Tanz expresses the unusual symbiosis between these two men: the sound is full of warmth and full of grooves, in spite of its apparently technoid features. Who knows whether it is the mild climate or the region's wonderful red wine, but surely Greg and André's passion and unconditional love of music, the 1980s, and current club tunes have contributed to the wholesome melding of genres on this record. Each track has an inherent flair and develops an individual homage to disco, techno, house, electro, pop or rave... everything has an influence on how they think, what they do, what they produce and vice versa. Addictive minimal stompers perch next to delicately-mixed classic French house to form a perfectly working sound/ecosystem where everything is in its right place. It is music not only for the small-scale habitat, but also for new biotopes with similar structures, for other clubs and other countries. Also, one of Kompakt's best-selling acts Oxia comes on board, fitting perfectly into this synthetic entity created for a simple yet omni-liberating purpose: Tanz (Dance!).

Artist:	MATZAK
Title:	African Roots
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 064EP

Matzak is back, presenting African Roots, and the title track is deep, full of soul and passion, heralding his second longplayer that will follow his earlier and extremely successful Life Beginning LP. Rodriguez Jr. has created his own version of "African Roots" by adding more melodies & pop appeal to the track. "Who Killed Punky Brewster" is a Detroit-ish groover that fits perfectly with the overall release, thanks to its stunning deepness.

Massive support by DJ Hell, Peter Kruder, Sven Väth, Michael Mayer, M.A.N.D.Y., Richie Hawtin, etc.

Artist:	DUSTY KID
Title:	A Raver's Diary
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 070CD

This is the hotly-anticipated full-length debut release by Italy's Paolo Alberto Lodde aka Dusty Kid aka one-half of Duoteque. Do you still remember the moment when you first stepped into the warehouse, right into the fog, and into the churning eye of the dancefloor? Do you still remember the first bass drum, the first break, the first strobe flash? Dusty Kid does, and celebrates the club folklore of rave kitsch on Raver's Diary, for those who remember and for those who wish they did. This record wears its heart on its sleeve, without any minimal-technocratic business. The music he creates is great sound cinema, always direct and focused. "Here Comes Techno" and "The Underground Persistence" pushes the dancer right in the middle of the dancefloor, heading towards the first peak. The sound quickly turns into banging synth attacks and marching beats that end in the psychotic glissandi of "Lynchesque" and its high bass wave. "Klin," and its unexpected, flashing emotionality stops the free-fall, and almost unnoticeably shifts the direction of the whole album. "Cowboys," for example, used to be a B-side track, a kind of wallflower. On A Raver's Diary, it has become a secret hit: a smooth, magnetic organ fest with a catchy bass that will kick you off your chair. The spherical sequencer techno of "Moto Perputuo" pays homage to the great melodies of the past which have been pimped up with an incomparable and innovative bass design. "The Fugue" is Dusty Kid's approach to weirdo instrumental pop music, and "Pluk" and "America," too, do not shy away from any productive risk: the first is a tribalist club smasher, the bone-breaker from the fog; the latter is a melancholic magnum opus, and even the hardest raver will be stunned by its emotional power. "Agaphes" is a style-study in two parts, and "Nemur (Walls Of Guitars)" is the pop gem, the great techno chanson, and the best farewell you can imagine. A Raver's Diary is an album for any DJ: the perfect mix tape, the soundtrack to the ultimate party that everyone is talking about.

Artist:	DUSTY KID
Title:	America

Catalog #:	BOXER 071EP

"America" is the ultimate road-movie soundtrack for a sunny journey through the Midwestern United States. Open your window, feel the breeze, and listen to a perfect song. It's surprising and thrilling, it's relaxing and deep, it's graceful and full of beauty. After a long day riding, you deserve a great track for a wild party at your favorite motel. "Train No. 3" takes no prisoners, so freak out and let yourself go. Tomorrow, you can relax again by listening to "America."

Artist:	GOPFRICH, HAITO
Title:	Fiat Lux
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 072CD

This is the debut full-length release from Berlin producer/DJ Haito Göpfrich -- the man of innumerable faces and the Doctor Mabuse of German dancefloors. Hooked by the eclectic early DJ-work of Hans Nieswandt and Eric D. Clark, Haito is now well-trained on Berlin's Loveparade vehicles, and as a result, his work has been pressed onto vinyl by labels such as Kickboxer, Malatoid, Spagat, Low Spirit and Acker Records. With Fiat Lux, Haito tells us his stories from the club in a colorful, thrilling and filmic way, emphasizing a diversified, round dance of styles, genres, ideas, sounds and beats. From the exhilarated groove of a gritty high-school comedy ("I Ro Love"), over the sticky heat of a foreign marketplace demolished by a wild chase with James Bond ("Pusher"), to the fizzling noise of a motor in a SF manga road movie, Haito seems to know how to set everything to the music he's got in mind. The hardcore continuum is cultivated by elegantly-rushed drum patterns ("Drugpeople"), Alfred Hitchcock's shower curtain knife-scene is shot into the universe via electro-funk ("Freedub"), and a harmonized depth of field meets a roughened, saw-tooth discourse ("Disconnect"). Even the Yakuza smasher with Renaissance costumes filmed in Andalusia finds its true destiny in the spinet rave of "Non Plus Ultra." And above all, intelligent sample editing, four-dimensional, fluffy synths and springy percussion sounds can't be wrong. The peak of the album is the 2009 version of "E-Love," a revised version of the 2008 hit released on Kickboxer: a couple of tricky samba piano sounds are smuggled into the pockets of a subtly-bouncing clapper trailing a comet-tail of synths. Last but not least, after the Wall Street psycho thriller "Mummy," and "Komm Mal Klar," you'll find "Good Times, Bad Times" -- a hymn for the closing credits with vocals by Eric D. Clark that pulls out all the emotional stops to keep the audience enthralled and teary-eyed.

Artist:	DUOTEQUE
Title:	Neon
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 077EP

In anticipation of a Duoteque retrospective, Boxer Recordings proudly presents this 12" teaser that is truly amazing. Apart from the gorgeous, mind-blowing "Intro" and the vibrant, house-y "Neon," Marascia and The Dolphins make themselves heard with remixes of classic Duoteque hits. Worth mentioning is Duoteque's not-so-secret star: the bass line. It's either fat and mighty, or fluffy and easy-going. And once the spark has ignited the flame, the party is on fire.

Artist:	MATZAK
Title:	Bring Me The Moon
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 078CD

This is the second full-length album from France's Matzak. The smart Frenchman and full-time professional pharmacist knows best about the alchemy of an eclectic combination, and the well-balanced mix of the necessary ingredients. His open-hearted and inviting debut album Life Beginnings (BOXER 047CD) was a kind of "omnium gatherum" he skillfully combined with a most appealing result. On Bring Me The Moon, Matzak applies a far more broader spectrum: he makes the sounds literally breathe, and gives each track its very own, individual pace with alternating straight and broken beats, smooth, delicious melodies and perfect bass lines. In other words: marvelous swinging sounds for your body and mind. The album-opener "On The Sofa" starts with a fitness-clubbish bass. Sometimes it pretends to be the illegitimate grandson of the Beastie Boys, sometimes to be Moloko's secret twin-sister. And without feeling guilty, Matzak even turns the radio on in order to entertain the first guests -- Californian singer Tori adds a few superbly-placed vocal lines, in addition to Sourya and Forensic. But instead of getting stuck and well-fed at the foyer, "Unpredictable Sunday" and "Disco Mobster" start boarding the main floor. Rolling strings and a fresh monster bass are the first signs of a deep euphoria. Matzak slows down and starts all over again in a completely different way with "In The Jazz Garden," featuring a virtuoso piano. Matzak enriches the romantically rainy "Argos" and the precisely funky title track with so many vitamins, that in the end, the listener is convinced that he has discovered a long-lost DJ Shadow song. But apart from the nicely pastel-colored atmospheres, Matzak never forgets the floor: with "Stockholm 1973 Rework," a vivid vocal song, or "Magneto," a funky, stumbling track, he presents two stunning draft versions of what might become the best club tunes ever. You won't believe your ears when you listen to this wealth of ideas.

Artist:	PIG&DAN
Title:	On A Train
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 079EP

Pig&Dan bring the summer to the dancefloor with a heavy drumbeat. As if after an endless winter, you look out your misty windows, and suddenly, the door bell rings -- you look through the spyhole, and what you see is bright summer light. And this is exactly what happens when you listen to this release -- it goes straight into your heart -- cozy, deep, touching and intense. Includes a vocal mix, a dub version, and a remix by Werner Niedermeier.

Artist:	DUOTEQUE
Title:	Duoteque
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 080CD

No doubt: Dusty Kid's album A Raver's Diary (BOXER 070CD) is among the Boxer catalog's highlights where the most versatile talent from Sardegna proves his excellent skills as "Master of Dramaturgy." However, this album almost makes you forget that he is the other half of Duoteque, a project founded together with Andrea Ferlin, and which has been put on hold since their enormous success in 2007. In the meantime, Ferlin has been busy, too. Together with Francesco Assenza, he has founded another label with the apt title Sleep Is Commercial, has released a number of EPs, and has been DJing at a number of fantastic clubs worldwide. Since 2009, Dusty Kid and Andrea Ferlin have been working together again, and now, in order to adequately celebrate their reunion, Boxer presents a great Duoteque collection on two CDs. Apart from many bonus tracks including some exclusive remixes of Duoteque hits made by Marascia, The Dolphins and Pig & Dan, it is Dusty Kid's Duoteque megamix that may be regarded as the centerpiece of this release. It represents a collection of the best of the complete Duoteque oeuvre, and it is the first time that some of the greatest Boxer releases are now available for non-vinyl spotters, too. Next to all three tracks released on the best-selling Boxer 12" so far -- You Know All About Drags EP -- Dusty Kid adds a number of other jewels to the mix: the spooky spoken-word track "Lola" for example, top tracks such as "Adyra" or "Bilk," and the basement funk of "Amarcord" -- the whole spectrum of Duoteque embedded in a fantastic flow and a variety of layers that once again proves Dusty Kid's narrative skills. An endless cycle of opening and closing spaces, a gradually rising temperature, and percussive workouts are followed by highly inspired space-opera melodies. But Duoteque's (not that) secret star is the bass sound that sometimes comes along deep and mighty, and sometimes in a rather light-footed way. The audience is immersed in the kicking, hypnotizing sounds and breaks that explode right into your face. In the past, every single track already laid waste to dancefloors, and you can imagine what will happen if they're presented in a whole bunch.

Artist:	EXTRAWELT
Title:	Vorsprung Durch Hektik
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 081EP

Wayan Raabe and Arne Schaffhausen aka Extrawelt present deluxe versions of premium techno. Both title track "Vorsprung Durch Hektik" (trans. "progress through stress") and "Wasteland" offer an abundant vision of futuristic melancholy constantly in motion while at the same time smooth and well-balanced, like the perfect mix between neon colors and different shades of grey. With "Yummy_Unbroken," you will be irresistibly drawn onto the main dancefloor.

Artist:	VA
Title:	Different
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 082CD

The Different compilation is the result of meticulous and thorough work by the Boxer crew, with "otherness" as its overriding principle. Different is far from being just a hoarding of leftovers, it is rather conceived as a poison cabinet with doors wide open, a playground for free spirits and artists, and an open space far beyond the dancefloor dramaturgy and its rigid rules or common expectations. Some candidates involved in this project are already familiar with this freedom: Kreidler, for example, who come up with their full panoply of subtleties and the microscopic funk track "Venusia"; or Frank Martiniq, who reinterprets urban myths about intelligent cars or genetically-modified monster crocodiles living in the city's sewer system, and of course, in slow-motion and high-resolution. Others are obviously enjoying their time off from the 4/4: Pig&Dan present charming, smooth lo-fi pop; Extrawelt adjust their bore holes; Gui Boratto adds sound to psychotropic thrillers in the Brazilian jungle, and Florian Meindl meditates upon string ensembles taking a walk on the beach. Altogether, the quality of these tracks is exceptional, thanks to the pioneer spirit that drives the journey into unknown territories, and all electronic music artists know exactly what we are talking about. Even some of the artists involved are somehow different from Boxer's regular label artists. Nevertheless, the end-result of the Different compilation is coherent and thrilling, and might as well be called a masterpiece. Other artists include: Patrick Chardronnet, Goldfish & Der Dulz, Airbus Modular, Stephan Hinz, Matzak, &Iz, Popof, Arno Joey, Van Rivers, Paul Nazca, Fix & Fertig, Haito, Dean Demanuele, Khan & Mahmoud, Markus Lange, Dusty Kid, Odyzë, Rodriguez Jr., and Martin Eyerer.

Artist:	DUSTY KID
Title:	Argia
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 083EP

Dusty Kid presents an unusual acoustic near-death experience: Argia is the name of a spider indigenous to Sardegna. In Sardinian culture, there is a traditional dance that represents the various states of Argia poisoning, and it is used as an antidote against the spider bite. Dusty Kid comes up with a contemporary version: the slow-acting poison gradually builds up, creating hallucinating sound experiences until a trance and paralyzed state is reached. One-sided, limited, 180 gram vinyl.

Artist:	BORATTO/EXTRAWELT, GUI
Title:	Tuning #08
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 084EP

Today, the pit lane is decorated with red carpet and golden leaf for two exceptional talents: from the Black Forest, Patrick Chardronnet for the Gui Boratto (BRA)-team, and from the Westerwald, Dominik Eulberg (GER) for the Extrawelt-team. The Gui Boratto/Patrick Chardronnet-team focuses on deep bass lines, a slightly shifted ideal line, and only one pit stop. Team-Extrawelt acts a bit more flexible, either putting on the handbrake or driving at full speed. His elegant turns make the audience go wild.

Artist:	DUSTY KID
Title:	Beyond That Hill
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 085CD

Paolo Alberto aka Dusty Kid loves travelling, no matter whether it is a trip through his own sensuous spheres of experience (like on his solo debut album A Raver's Diary in 2009), or a real road movie. Beyond That Hill takes the straight bass drum out of the club and plants it on the roadside. Beats are rushing past like power poles, a fresh breeze is blowing in your face, both literally and figuratively, and in front of you there is nothing but the vast horizon, a shimmering dance of coordinates. Dusty Kid wanders through luscious, epic landscapes of sounds. Hence, it is not surprising that some of his tracks hit the 10-minute mark without being tiring or exhaustive. You will rather find yourself gliding above the sounds, yet still close enough to admire all the wonderful details, and high enough to get a good view. The sounds are far more than just pure metaphysical mumbling or a series of meaningless loops and effects. The opener "Nora Nights" already starts at a tight pace, yet with a well-defined and delicately-balanced structure and ambience. Every single second, every single sound bit is essential. On "Jknoussa," Dusty Kid first plays the Grand Canyon tourist at the coin slot telescope; then, in the 14-minute floor-hugger "Argia," he turns into the adventurous mountaineer climbing between the jagged rocks along the abyss, suspended between heaven and earth, yet absorbing both at the same time. A little break at the campfire offers "Chentu Mizas" and "Beyond That Hill" with a rhythm guitar that invokes the ancestors under the moonlight, and helps you to get mentally prepared for "Polybolo" -- the monster that drags the mountaineer into the abyss, and hits the dancefloor like an avalanche. Gone are the friendly and crackling nostalgic sounds where vocals and strings were exchanging soft cotton balls -- now, the time has come to start the survival training that every raver who calls himself professional should have passed in the acid shower. Constant knocking wears the stone: like the peak bagger who finds himself awe-struck by the earth's elemental forces, "Polybolo" reveals the pure longing, the archaic natural forces, only by means of pure synthetic tools. But soon after, the traveller gets his guitar back from "Cheyenne," peaceful and organic, but still pushing, thanks to precise footwork and a superbly-arranged frequency spectrum. And finally, "That Hug" pulls out all the stops again to sensibly recapitulate the way the audience has travelled so far. With grand gesture and universal aspiration, this unique and unforgettable trip comes to an end. And once again, Dusty Kid proves that he is the master of the album format. An ideal mix tape for some, highly imaginative cinema for others, but the result is always the same: it is a story to dance to, a road musical for adventurous people.

Artist:	DUSTY KID
Title:	Polybolo
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 086EP

"Polybolo" is a monster that drags you into the abyss and hits the dancefloor like an avalanche. Dusty Kid starts the survival training that every raver who calls himself professional should have passed in the acid shower. "Polybolo" reveals the pure longing of archaic natural forces only by means of pure synthetic tools. And in case you are not such a hard-raving member of society, you will find your satisfaction in Popof's stripped-down monster groove remix of "Argia" on the flipside.

Artist:	CHARDRONNET, PATRICK
Title:	Karma
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 087EP

This is the first solo release on Boxer Recordings from Patrick Chardronnet. As soon as you hear the first sounds of "Karma," your feet begin to tap along within the rhythm, you will lift your hands in the air, and your whole body will start dancing in the light breeze of the sounds. And although "Shanti" on the B-side may paint a picture of tranquility, serenity and happiness, it is spiced with enormously deep bass lines and a pushing groove.
