Title:	C30
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	IF 001CD

2008 release. Japan-only edition. Jens Zimmermann's unique sound could be defined as a bubbling, hypnotizing groove monster that fits together with labels like Cadenza or Perlon, except for the pure roughness and intensity that make his tracks kind of special. By being reduced-to-the-max on the production level, his tunes have an almost spiritual character and they develop an enormous power when they emerge through the world's most proper soundsystems. Ever been to Fabric when Ricardo, Richie or another member of the crew was dropping a Zimmermann-tune in there? Chaos. Jens Zimmermann's name should be on the lists of all serious minimal techno lovers in the world, as he has created a whole bunch of underground techno hits and all of them carry his special kind of Zimmermann'ish trademark-sound. Also includes an unreleased 17-minute version of "ModModBlubBlub."

"We are more than proud again about being able to offer the latest masterpiece by Mr. Matt Star to the global underground club music scene! The almost unbelievable success of Matt Star's debut release The Art Of M showed everybody who's involved in the electronic music business how hot this young gun from Offenbach, Germany is. The feedback he received from top players like Loco Dice, Luciano, Magda or Dominik Eulberg was completely overwhelming. With 'Anin' Mr. Star proves that he definitively is not just one of these one-hit-wonders! We expect a similar buzz to be going around the globe caused by Matt's new phat pumpin click-tech-weapon."

"It's about time to write some lines again, this time we're announcing episode 6 of the International Freakshow theatre! We would be glad if you'll join us welcoming Mr. Jens Zimmermann back on board! With his experience & knowledge of producing electronic music for more than 20 years now we are very confident that -- after his stunning debut on Intl. Freakshow last year (Modmodblubblub / O.N.Y.X.) -- he surely will drive everybody insane & touch your innerself again with IF-6 called C30. Jens' unique sound could be defined as a bubbling, hypnotizing groove monster that fits together with labels like Cadenza or Perlon except for the pure roughness & intensity that make his trax kind of special. By being reduced-to-the-max on the production level his tunes have an almost spiritual character and they are developing an enormous power when they are emerging through the world's most proper soundsystems. Ever been to Fabric when Ricardo, Richie or another member of the crew was dropping a Zimmermann tune? The people go absolutely nuts on the floor. So it was just a question of time to find Jens Zimmermann on the legendary Fabric mix compilation as well. Before playing Jens' trax you should make sure your P.A. will be tough enough for these dubby pumping creatures pressed on the black plastic we all love! Besides his debut on IF-3, Jens Zimmermann's name should be on the lists of all serious minimal techno lovers in the world as he has created a whole bunch of underground techno hits during the past 4 years & all of 'em carrying his special kind of Zimmermann'ish trademark sound if we think of his output on Room Rec., K2, Treibstoff or Snork -- plus the various remixes he has been responsible for. So if you also love organic microphunk techtrax & you think you'll be capable of handling these heavy pumpin sounds, you are definitively making no mistake with grabbing a copy of International Freakshow number 6!"

Artist:	BEROVIC & LEICHER
Title:	Ognobclub - Masomenos Remix
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 007EP

"We welcome back Berovic & Leicher! After their previous releases on Intl. Freakshow, Level Non Zero, Balkon or Einmaleins, they deliver the 7th chapter of International Freakshows' discography with Hollahoppa/Ognobclub! The two new tracks on this release, come along in a very tight & powerful shape and they do not leave a doubt about on what Berovic & Leicher are aiming for -- forward is the keyword! These techno-house-microtic tunes are hyper-hypnotic in a punching way! You'll find both of 'em on the 'There-side' of this record. That leads me to introducing if-7's 'Here-side.' Hereon will get in touch with some really talented and nice guys from Paris! Masomenos created an amazing remix of the 'Ognobclub' track. This version of the tune reminds a bit of André Kraml's 'Safari,' but without all the elephants, apes and other jungle sounds. It's a really top-notch dubby mix!"

Artist:	VIVANCO, ALEJANDRO
Title:	Nachtstring
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 010EP

"Vivanco is no stranger to us as he delivered a stunning remix some time ago for International Freakshow's mother label Weave Music No. 14 (Rosselot&Ferante ? Los Andes). On the title track of IF-10, 'Nachtstring,' Alejandro immediately shows his intent, after a short intro consisting of spooky, dark piano sounds, he's hitting the floor with a (still) dark but also tribalish hypno-groove full of pumpin, crisp percussive elements that make it almost impossible not to start moving to the beat straight away. The A-side of the International Freakshow's 10th episode -- 'Nachtstring' -- offers a maximum of danceability & it is without doubt one of Vivanco's finest works to date. On the flip Vivanco presents 'Cicatizante,' which is another mind-trippin floorbomb that occupies an altogether different headspace, kicking off with a less dark but also perfectly rollin groove with amazing percussion patterns and an embedded rhythmic psycho synthline that says hello from time to time during this tune."

Artist:	GORJI, NIMA
Title:	Azul Y Verde
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 011EP

"September 2008, Nima Gorji is spending 1 month at the house of his friend babalow Baba Ifa Leri Oma in Ibiza. In Cuban Santeria, a babalow is the father of secrets, a shaman, a spiritual guide. The philosophy of IFA was brought by the slaves from Afrika, especially Nigeria, to the Caribbean islands. It became Santeria in Cuba, Vodoo in Haiti, Condomble in Brasil. The Yoruba language is used in the Santeria's books and the ceremonies as chants. Nima assisted some ceremonies where the babalow is cleaning someone's soul, energy, or aura, and established a direct connection with a special energy called orisha. Each orisha has specific attributes like a color, tools, beats, and various patterns of percussion rhythm. Nima is listening to all these beats coming directly from Cuba, he samples some parts, and produces a new EP: Azul Y Verde. 'We Are Blue' is a tribute to Yemaya, the mother of the sea. She represents maternity, fertility, and life on earth in general. Her color is blue and her number 7. The chant is performed by Lazaro Ross a Cuban artist who died in 2005. Lazaro was a legendary Akpwon, or lead singer in the Yoruba tradition. 'Warriors' is a tribute to Oggun, another main orisha. He represents the force and the work of human kind. He is working with metal, and he always carries a knife. His color is green and his number is 3."

Artist:	VIOLI & FABIO GIANNELLI & SERCAN, MIRCO
Title:	Chainletters EP
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 012EP

"The International Freakshow theatre is opening its doors for 2009's spring season. Coming along with the sunny weather, we bring you another minimal house weapon that is deep, dark and dangerous! The 3 producers who are responsible for Chainletters EP belong to the next generation of the clubmusic business. These young guns are Mirco Violi, Fabio Gianelli & Sercan. During the last year they already were able to proof that the sound they are creating is definitely more than capable of competing within the international club music scene. With releases on imprints like Underground Limited, Off or Welt Sounds they gained tons of positive feedback. The well-balanced and textured grooves these guys deliver are all carefully crafted while the subliminal vocal samples and stunning effects keep the perception fully occupied as well as offering various mixing opportunities in the process. On the flipside of International Freakshow no.12 you'll find another phat, tribalish minimal house tune done by them called 'Mugatu Says' as well as some more hypnotic house remix of 'Get Around' by Berlin-based Till Von Sein who also created some really successful tracks in the past on labels like Dirt Crew records, Morris Audio or Trenton, that gained full support of various top names."

Artist:	GRUB & DJ W!ILD, BASTI
Title:	Marchgang/Balkan 2
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 013EP

"The International Freakshow theatre is raising its stage curtain for opening a hopefully hot summer season 2009. With our 13th release we bring you two young guns who -- so far -- are new to the International Freakshow's roster. Nevertheless Basti Grub from Frankfurt / Germany and DJ W!Ld from Paris / France will definitely show their skills with 2 massive tracks on if-13! Both tunes are properly carrying the spirit of an hedonistic summer party! The A-side comes along with Mr. Basti Grub's 'Marchgang.' His trip into the depths of electronic music lead him through all the wellknown clubs in and around Frankfurt city in the first place. Nowadays he runs his own little label called Hoehenregler, releasing quality house & techno music. His track on if-13 feels like a journey into the wonderland of minimal fusion techno. Basti's tune is one of those that are making you smile while you are rocking our socks off hard on the dancefloor! His tune 'Marchgang' sounds a bit like being the clash of 1920s music with the 21st century minimal house sound! And do you know what?! The crazy combination fully works -- give it a try folks! The flip side delivers DJ W!ld's 'Balkan2.' DJ W!ld's musical career started 13 years ago in France with his first DJ-attempts behind the decks. Today the French mastermind is presenting his sound from one continent to another, as a tireless traveler he is spreading hot underground music to the people with his technical mixes. After having started his own label Catwash together with chris carrier a couple of years ago, his reputation as a producer is constantly growing all around the planet! For if-13, DJ W!ld brings us 'Balkan2' -- an epic and massive rollin' samba-esque techhouse bomb, that has the dynamic and power to make you go nuts! This track is pure Latin groove in a postmodern shape that will deeply satisfy all of you who are into the style of artists like Ricardo Villalobos or Luciano, to name a few!"

Artist:	M.IN & PATRICK KUNKEL FEAT. HAROLD TODD
Title:	Frauen & Blumen
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 014EP

"What you will get with buying this record is an extraordinary kind of culture clash in electronic music. We have the young guns M.In, Patrick Kunkel and Basti Grub in the red corner and the blue corner comes up with no other than the legendary DJ Sneak accompanied by Mr. Harold 'Lenny Kravitz saxophone god' Todd. Some might say that the combination of names who contributed their skills and creativity to the production process of this release alone should make any electronic music freak become desperately interested in this record but if that ain't reason enough to at least give it a try, you will find 3 timeless state of the art house tracks on intl. Freakshow's 14th vinyl release, from which each one has it's unique, carefully crafted structure and arrangement. All of them manage to develop a superb uplifting energy, ideal for the upcoming hot summer nights and the daytime parties, too!"

Artist:	MESSINA/JACKSPOT & DIEGO MIRANDA, FAUSTO
Title:	Bafile Street/Muchen
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 015EP

"The 15th Freakshow release should seriously be on the wantlist of everybody who is searching for timeless electronic dance music that is aiming at the peaktime moments of the night. It is grooving like hell by having a minimalistic approach wrapped in carefully crafted high class arrangements, hypnotically pushing & uplifting all of your senses. On the A-side, Fausto Messina comes up with 'Bafile Street', a proper microphunk stormer slightly sounding like a tribute to Baby Ford's all-time classic track 'Make a Move.' 'Bafile Street,' is a track that is more than predestinated for being found in the peaktime moments of one of Ricardo Villalobos' DJ-sets. The flipside track is a contribution coming from 2 real techno-wizards. On the one hand Jackspot, whom we know from Datapunk or Highgrade releases alongside his mate Diego. Their track, called 'Muchen,' slightly reminds us of evergreens in techno history from Mathew Herbert mixed with a bit of Wishmountain. All in all one must quote that IF 0015EP is crossing the borders of techno, techhouse and minimal techno, thus making it possible to satisfy the needs of a lot of deejays playing different and versatile styles of electronic music."

Artist:	STAR, MATT
Title:	Ravedub
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 017EP

Matt Star evokes the Arctic chill sound with "Ravedub," a track that sounds like it was recorded inside of an ice-cave. You might be reminded of the legendary Basic Channel era by this seriously hypnotizing groove monster. "Hypno's Back" can be called a worthy post-modern homage to Detroit-style techno in some way -- the artist took some of these ingredients and combined them with his individual brand of the new generation techno-style productions.

Artist:	GREEN, TIM
Title:	Iotan
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 018EP

Tim Green's latest strike started to hit the floors in December '09, when his second single Lone Time came out. People STILL go nuts when this house tune is dropped! 2010 looks set to be another huge year of growth for him. "Iotan" is deep, funky, melodic and warm the whole way through, constantly guided by a splendid specimen of a bass line! "Crispy Chair" shows his more minimalistic techno side by hitting you hard with this hypnotic groove monster.

Artist:	AFFKT & ALBERTO SOLA VS LOS UPDATES
Title:	Pobla
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 020EP

AFFKT and Alberto Sola present a hybrid of pop and house with tuba from Alberto Cuartero, orchestra director of Hoya Gonzalo in Albacete. Added to the paella is a bit of percussion and keyboards. The main course may represent a typical Valencian plate, but by adding a little Chilean salt, it becomes international. Danny Fiddo and Felipe Venegas present an elegant and deep remix, while Darlyn Vlys' remix features a lot of groove and percussion. Finally, AFFKT gives his funkier version of events.

Artist:	STAR, MATT
Title:	Morphology
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 022EP

Matt Star's "Morphology" is characterized by its enormous dynamic -- a deep & dirty roughness that comes up alongside an unstoppable kind of mesmerizing groove. "MttStr" on the flip side builds up a little more gradually. Both tracks show Matt's talent for patiently modulating sounds, creating almost extraterrestrial, fluid grooves. Both sides of the record contain several well-placed breakdowns and carefully-crafted moments of high tension before Matt lets things kick back into full force again.

Artist:	YOUANDME
Title:	Something
Label:	INTERNATIONAL FREAKSHOW (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	IF 024EP

DJ and producer super-duo youANDme present their debut on International Freakshow. "Something" is a raw & pure monster of a track, like being morphed into a party of ghosts and dungeons. An ultra-phat hypnotic techno-tune from Berlin, full of peak-time pleasure for sweaty walls. The very special remix version is by techno music veteran Literon, responsible for numerous club-hits as a solo artist (Gerd) as well as being one-half of joint ventures like the Collabs 200 project with Speedy J.
