Title:	Mirror Of The Future
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	3x12"
Price:	$26.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 012LP

"Electronic Injection and Active Agent had been more than simple label compilations where just a cross section of artists added a track. Harthouse is setting a really high standard since their relaunch last year. The sound parts are a pretty good match, interlock and have a quite reasoned basis. Harthouse has been one of the most important electronic institutions for the last 14 years with names around as Sven Väth, Alter Ego, Der Dritte Raum, Spicelab, Hardfloor or Resistance D. -- to name a few. Therefore it's not surprising that as a corollary the Mirror Of The Future shows you the meaning behind Harthouse! Mirror Of The Future is the new groundbreaking composition from Harthouse -- highly epidemic and instantly causes addictive behavior. Quite varied artists unify within a incomparable fusion which resembles a suspenseful myth. Mirror Of The Future quickly spreads through the whole body and lets appear everything in a clearer, more powerful and detailed way than one is accustomed to. This triple vinyl is a mixture of techno and minimal as you have rarely heard before! Within an hour, the pearls get connected between minimal and techno-sounds and closes the necklace which stands for the concept of the whole compilation. Der Dritte Raum, Hardfloor, Braincell, ADJD, Spicelab, Dachshund, Anderson Noise Scan X, Gámez and many more aim at the bull's-eye and definitely hit it!"

Artist:	ZIMMERMANN, JENS
Title:	Reduction, Seduction
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 014EP

"Zimmermann alias Jens Zimmermann aka Tyrell Corp. aka DJ Gargamel is constantly changing yet always the same: a damn good producer. Now, in 2007, after years of noise research and sound sculpting, he is re-emerging as Zimmermann which stands for 'new German minimal sound.' After three much-celebrated releases, aptly called 'Zimmermann #1,' '#2' and '#3' on Room Recordings, which were severely hyped up by Germany's house fraternity, and releases and remixes on Boxersport, K2, and HiFreaks as well as on Harthouse Mannheim, the future is looking bright for Jens. Something he is proud to share with all of those who tune into his reduced, contemporary sound. A1: 'Reduction, Seduction': the art of seducing lies in the tiny changes and the fine sound-shaping capabilities Jens displays with this slow but very potently grooving track that gets them all in the end. Subtle yet powerful. B1: 'G.L.U.X.': Talking about tricky, tiny modulations, this is where Zimmermann, at his finest, dishes up a whole armada of strangely bleeping synths, which, in stark contrast to the dark and rumbling, compelling bass, lead the head astray while the body pumps away."

Artist:	DALESSANDRO, BILLY
Title:	Soulchaser
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 018EP

"After having published more than 20 EPs and two full length albums, Billy Dalessandro arrived at the first league of worldwide respected producers. His third album, Into The Atom, can be seen as a milestone of the Chicago-based musician's history. He publishes a mixture of Chicago style funk and deep minimal electronic style. Here are 3 gems born out of his virtuosity you can't miss. A1: 'Soulchaser' Undercover Mix -- highly addictive and percussive, slightly forward-oriented track with great spheres. 'Great' has to be written with triple 'e' because it uses a dramatic element which pokes out of the deep and tricky basement. Playful effects and intelligent beat programming sum up to a really special atmosphere -- somewhere between -- but precise as hell!"

Artist:	BRAINCELL
Title:	Absorb
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 019EP

"Braincell already set a high standard at the last Harthouse V.A. by 'pneumatic(s)' work and sound. The Swedish top producer and label owner presents another labor of love -- Absorb. This is the most emotional EP you have ever heard from Cari Lekebusch -- highly addictive stuff! A1. 'Absorb:' calm and gentle percussive structure and wide atmospheric effects mixed with tiny play-arounds attracts the listener's attention. Comfortable groove-friendly shaker which is built up to a melancholic and cinematic milestone of electronic music!"

Artist:	DACHSHUND
Title:	Bon Appetit
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 021EP

"Today, Dachshund is one of the finest examples of Geneva's top quality minimal techno scene. He released most of his tracks on different labels such as Num Records, Platzhirsch, Mental Groove, 60sec, and many others. His releases Somehow & Water Game have been acclaimed by the whole scene. For his thrilling and creepy tracks he uses many spatial effects and therefore he creates very abstract sound buildings that are standing immovable in a well structured landscape of weird minds. A. 'Asparagus': Like it or hate it, this vegetable sticks out of the wet earth and looks around, realizing that the world sometimes isn't as beautiful as it seems. A cloudy sky signals a storm of bended and twisted melodies and then the hail of sharp percussion sequencing begins. Be careful not to be hit. B1. 'Turbo Fish': This fish is fast. The slippery animal sashays through a canalisation of dirt and mud searching for the daylight, but it won't find it. Then the panic rises, the speed increases and the claustrophobic heartbeat explodes by a hit of aggression. B2. 'Ugly Tartare': For dessert we have 'Ugly Tartare.' Spoon it and enjoy the acid burning on your tongue. But be careful not swallow. Otherwise you will reach spheres you didn't know existed."

Artist:	SCAN X
Title:	Prism
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 022EP

"Harthouse is proud to present you the new single of the French primary rock Scan X. Beginning his career in 1993, Stéphane Dri released numerous tracks on numerous labels since then and created an intellectual style of electronic music combined with pure dance floor power. So be prepared for the next dance floor smasher from Scan X. 'Prism': Starting with this licking kicks and the moldy synthesizer purr the prism starts reflecting all the dust and dirt that is hided in the doomed corners of the favorite underground dance machine placed in the basement. And now Stéphane, who also worked together with Laurent Garnier to create the soundtrack of the Cartoon 'Globi,' unpacks his secret weapon. The explosive and driveling bassl ine licks your meninges till every clear thought is digested and transformed to something undefined that will proceed the dance floor range. 'Prism (Alex Kid Remix)': Here the label mate of Stéphane, who did the big Mint longplayer and is very successful with the actual album Caracol these days, did this very gushy interpretation of the original 'Prism.' He's taking time to build his strong architecture of his remix. At the beginning of the track you will ask yourself: Where has all the energy gone? But then the kicks and high percussion arrive and make this beat construction roll like there is nothing else to do than dropping trees."

Artist:	BELTRAM, JOEY
Title:	Shaking Trees
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 023EP

"Actually Joey Beltram needs no introduction. He is one of the leading international techno heads for a decade who characterized the music with his voluminous tracks that included razor-sharp melodic elements. Born in 1971 in Queens, New York, he started DJing at the age of 13 in 1983. Since releasing his own tracks in 1989, the triumphal procession of his music was sealed. Since then, he's released tracks on labels like Transmat, Trax, Tresor, Warp and more. His remix for Adam Beyer's 'Swedish Silver' burned the floors, the releases on R&S are legendary and we are looking forward to the first mix compilation Lost In New York on Harthouse. And it's definitely time for him to enter Harthouse. With 'Shaking Trees,' Joey combines the modern minimalistic style with some old school acid screws. With the brutal acid lines paired with a heavy synthesizer base and a whirring, psychedelic horror mood, he creates a track that can only be described as pure energy. Here we are entering the cold, dark and damp basement with strobe lights and the magic atmosphere of the early days of techno. In the beginning of 'See Through Accordion,' one could suppose now relaxation takes place. But we know that there is always a back door in Joey's music (who gave his talent also to the soundtrack of the Playstation video game Ghost In The Shell) where a little monster waits to scare the dancefloor. So the creepy and aggressive synths come up to create a discomforting feeling of insects crawling inside your head. Here we have less adornment in the music -- just the elements, some little effects and the pushing and immovable bass line."

Artist:	TIGERSKIN
Title:	Capsule
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 024EP

The Berlin based artist counts to the most busy electronic heroes from Germany, with numerous releases on countless labels like Forcetracks, Müller Rec., BCC, Raum Musik, Komfort Musik, Tongut, Lebensfreude, Highgrade, Deep In Rhythm, Mood, Opossum, Sender and more. He collaborated with artists like Detroit Grand Pubahs, Phonique, Thugfucker, Erlend Oye ore Rosenstolz and remixed Kings Of Tomorrow, Denki Groove, Oliver Koletzki or Umek. With his pseudonyms Korsakow, Dub Taylor, Vincent Belgrano or Magic Soul Orchestra (to name a few) he sounds out the numerous styles of electronic music and is on tour at the moment with his new Dub Taylor longplayer Humatron through Asia and Europe."

Artist:	BREJCHA, BORIS
Title:	Magic Gum
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	HHMA 026EP

"A: 'Magic Gum': Another sparkling tune which is full of surprising variations and effects. Deep bass and drums -- pure energy which gets messed up in a magnificent manner. Crackling sounds go against the clear structured beat and the background is peppered with various spheres. B: 'Desire':This sounds like a role model for a b-side track. The break in the middle, stressed by the male voice is like a turning point -- again perfect for dance floor use but also for a long journey by train or plane -- listen and enjoy it!"

Artist:	LEKEBUSCH, CARI
Title:	Merry Go Round
Label:	HARTHOUSE (GERMANY)
