Artist:	HOLY GHOST
Title:	Mad Monks/Buttrich & Adultnapper RMX
Label:	FLYING CIRCUS (GERMANY)
Format:	2x12"
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	FCD 001EP

Super obscure double pack release, with remixes from Martin Buttirch and Adultnapper. "'From a time when there were few 'rules' in the production of dance music, this track combines all sorts of elements that were heard in the music of the time. Subtle use of a sampled breakbeat, layered over the deep pulsing kick, give the track an irresistible energy on the dancefloor. This carries the listener while the gorgeous heavy atmospherics completely entrance them. The use of a simplistic single hit piano line at a couple of points could put the integrity of the track in jeopardy, but it's not so cheesy and lasts for a short enough time that once the deepness kicks back in it just forms a strange memory, like passing lights leaving a fading trace on the retina. At the track's climax the 'drainpipe' sounds rise up again, and are for a few seconds enveloped in one of the most intensely beautiful synth washes I've ever heard. You want that moment to last forever, but as quickly as you have been lifted up, you are dropped straight back into the beat, and that snappy break sample sets you off again.' --Max Dudley, Discogs.com. The track 'Mad Monks On Zinc' has been on Tobias Lampe's memory of a glorious club night in the very early '90s at the legendary Planet in Berlin. When Sven Väth played out this track he was freaking out on the dancefloor, but asking Sven for the track's name didn't lead to success, as Sven pointed on the record with a grin: the 12" only had a big question mark on it! Finally Tobias got a copy of that record during one of his regular record-huntings in Soho, but it wasn't until 1999 when he finally discovered the actual artist & title. At this time, Holy Ghost Inc. were better known for true splendid techno with releases on e.g. Berlin's Tresor label than for their early '90s releases, when 'cutting edge DJs like Andrew Weatherall were pioneering the Holy Ghost Inc.'s Mad Monks On Zinc, the fourth and best in a series of deeply underground, eclectic EPs' -- Mixmaster Morris, in Mixmag 1992. Now, here we are, almost 16 years after the original."

Artist:	HUMATE
Title:	Love Stimulation: The Radio Slave Mixes
Label:	FLYING CIRCUS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FCD 002EP

"Flying Circus Music, returns with its second release, this time rocking the deep, extended, dramatic house vibes of Radio Slave's interpretations of Humate's 'Love Stimulation.' The new Berliner Matt Edwards took his popularity from underground to overground, and right back round again. The world-travelling DJ founded his solid, big room production style while his infamous bootleg and remix work was a mainstay of the UK electronic scene. Now, with the strength of his Rekids label and his unmistakable production approach, he re-works this early classic of German techno/trance 'Love Stimulation' into two remarkable slow burning epics. The 'Full Length Vox Remix' builds from very opening bars, carefully combining classic house sensibilities with a totally free and organic, long-flowing arrangement. At over 15 minutes, it's a heavy weight tool for those late, hedonistic hours! Carrying on the blissed out theme, we're also treated to a 'Panorama Garage Remix,' that bears a more raw, jacking house vibe, with its straight up beats and deeply-swung chord stabs. Radio Slave is a master at keeping things ear-tinglingly stripped, yet still filling the room with power, energy and tension. These two remixes certainly pay their dues to classic days gone by, but they also stand out as superb examples of the modern state of house. Judging by this release it's still as strong as it ever was!"

Artist:	ENERGY 52
Title:	Café Del Mar (The Ricardo Villalobos Mixes)
Label:	FLYING CIRCUS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FCD 003EP

The timeless classic that is Energy 52's "Café Del Mar," first released in 1993, has been rejuvenated and re-invented with two brand-new remixes from Germany's leading beat scientist, Ricardo Villalobos. Mysterious like a deserted bay at midnight, and blissful like the balmy white sands of Ibiza's hidden beaches, Ricardo's main mix meanders over 9 minutes of pure minimalist magic. The dub mix focuses on the pulsing bassline, while gentle and subtle harmonic elements float underneath the warm staccato beats.
