Artist:	TRIPLE R
Title:	Flashback
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	MBF 001CD

"The long-awaited first CD from My Best Friend is mixed by DJ Triple R aka Riley Reinhold. Reinhold, one of the two driving forces of the label, blends his own releases (productions in collaboration with different artists such as Steve Barnes aka Cosmic Sandwich, Jorge Gebauhr and Emanuel Geller from Salz) with early, rough tracks on MBF and with smooth, cool, deep ones, of which some are still to be released. For instance the deepest track so far by Steve Barnes and Riley Reinhold 'Someday', a West coast inspired deep house track, will be released on a full- length vinyl album later this year. Furthermore 'Daybreak' by Cologne's young indie-rocker Dazo, who jams big fat bass lines and synthies in a new style for MBF will be released in August 2005. The CD also features tracks by the established Berlin duo M.A.N.D.Y., Break 3000 (one half of the Dirt Crew), Dublin's Donal Tierney aka Five Green Circle and Cologne's disco legend of the '80s LAX aka Robert Schulze with a Bobby Orlando-inspired track. The CD includes the hit 'Discotronic' written and produced by Adam Kroll and Break 3000 in the original smooth mix. It also includes 'Mondo Cane,' a New Order-inspired track by Riley Reinhold and Emanuel Geller that was not released on MBF. 'Mondo Cane' adds a unique melodic and emotional side to the CD. The mix CD is constantly rocking to the beat and creating nice waveforms, dynamics, ups and downs. It is always cool and in control of the journey."

Artist:	EYERER & OLIVER KLEIN, MARTIN
Title:	Movement
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	MBF 002CD

The My Best Friend label presents a double CD featuring a mix each by Martin Eyerer and Oliver Klein. Eyerer and Klein introduced their works to MBF with their stunning debut EP, Kairo and the follow-up, Tiflis. Both artists have been successful in most genres of electronic dance music, but now their focus lies on minimal. Eyerer made himself a name through remixing bands such as Gus Gus, Delight and Cassius and through remixes for Ministry of Sound/UK. Parallel to this, he always produced for smaller independent labels such as Boxer, Multicolor and Underwater and established his own label, Session Deluxe and his new imprint, Kling Klong. His 72-minute mix is fueled by club dynamics and makes a great home-listening treat as well. He's included some of his all-time favorite tracks, combined with unreleased tracks from his favorite labels. Oliver Klein, based in Düsseldorf, has been a well-known and influential DJ and producer in the Rhein delta for quite a while. His own label, Mutekki, has had a strong impact on the tech-house scene in Europe, making the transition between progressive and minimal tech-house. Oliver is a true DJ who plays and celebrates his sets, twiddling the knobs, working with effects, and providing the mix with a special emotional flow. His mix combines tracks with heavy pumping bass lines and physical presence with minimal modern grooves. Combined in his mix are brand new releases such as G-Flame & Mr. Gee's "Give'n Take," to make it a full night of techno. Other artists include: Duoteque, MyMy, Matthias Tanzmann, Björn Wilke, James What, Rob Mello, Johnny Wagner, Daniel Stefanik, Schlomi Aber, Elektrochemie, Ryan Crosson, Magda, Heartthrob, Konrad Black, Toni Rios, Plasmik, Dusty Kid, King Roc, Sebo K & Metro, D-Nox & Beckers, Mathias Tanzmann, Pascal Feos, Ray Valioso, Random Play, Dachshund, Rejected, Pan/tone, Move D., Dennis Karimani and Chris Gruber.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Strange World Beyond
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	MBF 003CD

This is the debut full-length release by Hamburg-based producers Christian de Jonquières and Frederic Moering-Sack aka Piemont. It's not only their five EPs on MBF and two huge hits which made Piemont decide to record an album, rather, it is their consistency throughout their remixes and releases on other labels as well. They refuse to compromise on style or quality, and the result is Strange World Beyond -- dedicated to the deep sea. The tracks "Carbonat" and "Black Smoker" catapulted Piemont onto many charts and DJ lists and established their unique and outstanding sound. They have been supported heavily in the past by Richie Hawtin, DJ Hell, Dubfire, John Digweed, Deep Dish, Carl Cox, Oliver Koletzki, Oliver Huntemann and more. The duo are not a product of the minimal techno of now, but have been with the scene for much longer, being influenced by advanced technology and sound design as well as the history of electronic music. The duo has a gift for modern sound design fused with a fantastic sense for funky beat programming and a good intuition for clubby moments, developed by their live appearances and gigs. For Piemont, a track is never finished. The doubt of never being able to live up to the ideal of "the perfect song" is a source of creativity for them, keeping them striving for more interesting arrangements and sounds. That Piemont's background is not solely a techno one but includes many influences they can draw on, can be witnessed by their sympathy for different musical styles on this album. Strange World Beyond creates funky rocking moments of clubbiness with tracks such as: "Eyeshine," "Strange World Beyond," "Lighter Than Seawater" and "Talk Flows Like A River," and also includes their hits "Carbonat" and "Black Smoker."

Artist:	KAISERDISCO
Title:	In No One's Shadow
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	MBF 004CD

The truly hyped phenomenon that is known as Germany's Kaiserdisco presents their first full-length album. Minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, ethno sounds or vocals and with a sophisticated, super-strong production, this is the trademark of Kaiserdisco. As their name reveals, Kaiserdisco is about the disco, the club, the hysteria, the nightlife. It is about creating a good vibe, putting a smile on people's faces, making things happen. In No One's Shadow features 10 new, unreleased tracks, plus their biggest hit "Aquja" and "Carachillo." Amazing sound design, funky and ear-catching leads, coupled with sophisticated arrangement nuances make In No One's Shadow a unique dancefloor journey. The album starts with the warm-hearted "Tripping Lure," a Balearic breakbeat track that introduces wonderful string arrangements and vocal snippets, making it a perfect opener for their album. "In No One's Shadow" carries this feeling a step further, introducing a deep Latin-flavored house track with reminiscences to nostalgic New York house music, crediting the wild pitch sound as much as Crystal Waters or Armand van Helden. "Dance On The Moon" is a twisted, Chicago-flavored tune, sci-fi funk influences working on the mental side of things, reminding us of Green Velvet or Grand Detroit Pubahs. "Simplistix" is the most "Kaiser"-sounding track, playful, restless, and full of joy, with some haunting vocals. It nicely blends wild percussion, vocals and squawking synths into an action-packed, yet equally sublime journey.

Artist:	AVITABILE, GRAZIANO
Title:	Lass Mich Los
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12001EP

"The birth of the label and at the same time the first record of Graziano Avitabile, who has been a member of Cologne's nightlife for quite a while. He has released a few records, one on Karmarouge records back in 2001. Since then he has developed his style and has with this release put forward a 12" with existential elements and sounds, timeless as we think, rather than clicks and cuts designed computer music but with lots of emotion, creating friction throughout this tough slamming techno track. The track comes in two versions, paying tribute to the 80s but relying on his hypnotic touch that after all, prevails. A stunning debut and the best way to start My Best Friend."

Artist:	TORO PROJECT
Title:	Planet May
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12003EP

"Toro is an anonymous project of a producer duo. A joined venture, which at the same time shows a bit more of the direction the forthcoming release will tend to do go. Disko-tech-house , deep as well as 'right on - keep the beat going' style. 'Drive To ffm' on the a-side is a house track with a slightly blurred soundscape transmitting a psychedelic feel, deep and strong. 'Jam the Metro Dub' on the flipside is a super dry disco slammer with an ultrafat bassline that will shake the foundation of the club it is played in. It's Chicago inspired 'Lil Louis' sequences is the key for euphoria."

Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12008EP

"MBF is proud to release a brandnew, not yet released track by the Berlin trio , that shows the international interest in the works of MBF as a new house label. M.A.N.D.Y. known through their stunning 12"s on their own imprint get physical release on MBF with 'Naomi', a track that is quite different in style to their own recently released music. Much more strange and rocking , 'Naomi' will shake the floors with it´s fat relent sequential sounds. A 100% night-rider we call it! No one less than the Dirt Crew provide a remix on the flipside which is more Chicago style flavoured with a good finish to the end, twisting the sequences to the maximum."

Title:	Lift Up
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12009EP

"MBF welcomes one of the pioneers of the electronic dance from Germany. Robert Schulze was one of the leading DJs in the 80ies in Cologne, playing the famous clubs such as: Colombo, Ritz Club, Morocco, Coconut and Checker's in Düsseldorf. Robert was influenced heavily by Bobby Orlando, Arthur Baker, Shep Pettibone, Larry Levan and Francois Kervorkian and has produced with famous people around the world. For MBF he has developed a special project which is based on the cornerstones of electro, house and disco, a mere rhythm based sequencer music. 'Lift up!' is therefore a logical consequence of his encounters and his love to early dance music. All tracks are done with real analoge instruments which explains the sexy groove and the warm sound. 'Music Makes You' is a long extended disco mix, reduced to the essentials, with machines at work. And if you listen closely or dance intensively, you can hear the machines speak and roar. Robert is nicely building up tension adding cascades of sequenced sounds and triggering old-school vocals from the early decade of disco and house."

Artist:	TORO
Title:	Phantom Drive
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12010EP

"Toro returns to the MBF line up. Toro are Jorge Gebauhr, famous for his two records on Traum ('modayfatsonnig' EP and 'Living in Another Body') and Riley Reinhold, who is at the current working also with Cosmic Sandwich aka Steve Barnes. The record is a sequencer-hookline driven record, which comes with two extended mixes of 'Phantom Drive' and 'Ohio 69'. 'Phanton Drive' is a slick disco leaper, with cool claps and a deep bassline und .. Cutting snares. A symbiosis of the two qualities makes it a universal ride! Call it : locomotion!"

Artist:	DIRT CREW
Title:	Rok da House Rmx
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12011EP

"The return of The Dirt Crew comes with a stunning freestyle man remix and a remix by Donnacha Costello of Minimise/Trapez/Force Inc. Plus a remix by Dirt Crew themselves. DJ Sasse aka Freestyleman, aka one half of Mr Negative, is transforming the slashing original in an hypnotic monster that rocks. Donnacha Costello having recorded also for Trapez under the name of Pleite was a go on a 303 acid mix, raw and bold. The Dirt Crew themselves throw all their juvenile influences of early acid and house days in one mix, resulting in a party giant. The EP comes in a full cover with a print of a warehouse."

Artist:	KANGO'S STEIN MASSIV
Title:	Ting Ae Like Te Mat
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12012EP

"Norway's most bizarre house producer who has released several wonderful 12"s on Trailerpark, comes with a rocking grinding 3 tracker that shakes up every dancefloor with its bass and crossing guitars chords. 'Ting ae like te mat' can be compared to !!!'s 'Hello? Is this thing on?' on Warp. Post rock electronic ecstatic house with the mighty 'Eddik' and the more psychedelic 'Muskat' and 'Tyta'. Definitely a different style for MBF but innovative and fresh sounding. The EP comes with a full cover by Jacqueline Klein showing the welcoming of Kango in Hawaii."

Artist:	LAX
Title:	B-Boogie
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12013EP

"Robert Schulze aka Lax, Cologne disco icon from the early '80s, has returned with a brand-new 2-tracker. This which the title suggests is a glamorous stomping machine-triggered disco house track, that relies on a wonderful Pet Shop Boys-like string which creates goose-skin throughout the hearing. A track which reveals that Robert Schulze's experience 25 years ago, playing four times a week in the leading discothèques, still proves worthy. The flipside, 'B-Boogie' consists of strong '80s disco to new wave influences."

Artist:	DASO
Title:	Daybreak
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12014EP

"Daso is by far the youngest artist on MBF. He has already produced with German indie rock singers like Jens Friebe (Intro magazine). But with the upcoming MBF release Daybreak, Daso has created his first dance maxi. It ranges from Paris house to German new wave music. Daso has put all of his soul into these two tracks... playing chords that even Moby could be proud of. He has included a rob to vocoder voice.... tragic and beautiful at the same time. Daso fuses a post '80s feeling with the big basslines of today to create a hybrid of a special kind."

Artist:	COSMIC SANDWICH
Title:	Man In the Box
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12015EP

"Following his international success with his self-titled track 'Cosmic Sandwich,' the Englishman Steve Barnes has produced the official answer to his achievement with his EP Man In a Box. Even more surreal, nervous, frenetically and twitching rhythmically at all ends the title track 'Man In a Box' determinedly strides along its path... and so finds his way in to the auditory canals of his fans. Again the vocals come from Riley Reinhold. In 'Man In a Box' they describe the claustrophobic situation within four walls. Antagonism and fascination in one, a regular recurring situation. The flipside track 'You Too' reveals a felicitous contrast to the A-side. With it's straightness it is even more in the style of the first Cosmic Sandwich."

Artist:	SCRATCH MASSIVE
Title:	Girls on Top
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12016EP

"The French artists Maud and Sebastian created Scratch Massive in 1999. Scratch Massive's first full album on Warner Brothers produced by Christian Vogel of Supercollider was released. Maud and Seb start seriously ding, and living in the 4 corners of the world. In 2004 the couple releases a new single 'Make It High' which is featured on hip dance-floor compilations, including Ivan Smagghe's Suck My Deck. In 2005 Scratch Massive put together their first mix CD which summarizes there feeling that 'the dance-floor is a privileged laboratory which omits an irresistible equation of pure pleasure...'. For this mix CD they licensed a track by the My Best Friend act Dirt Crew. With there own 12" Girls On Top on MBF, Scratch Massive managed to produce a massive house hit."

Artist:	ULYSSES & NICKLCAT
Title:	Make You Feel Good
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12017EP

"Yes, the title implies a strong house approach and really 'Make You Feel Good' is a very deep track featuring the unnatural sweet sensational voice of Nick Hallett. Ulysses aka Elliot Taub is not a stranger to the techno-house-electro scene. The two tracks for MBF are different though, neither electro nor techno nor classic house, but a fusion of disco house and DJ Hell inspired electro clash. Feelings frozen up and reanimated within a dark age of psychedelia, with sequences not unlike of what Moroder did. Two tracks not train spotting on any hypes around attached to nothing but the feeling that governs the tracks. MBF has created a new genre here! Enjoy the dark and sweet sensation that will 'Make You Feel Good' a hit."

Artist:	DASO
Title:	Go Upstairs
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12018EP

"With his debut record Daybreak Daso has managed as one of the only producers in Germany to combine his indie past with his new house influences in an authentic and credible way. His first release went straight to many charts. With a lot of elegance and noticeable emotional density, he embodies a youthful version of what Etienne De Crecy and Phoenix represent. The title track 'Go Upstairs' is a accomplished continuation of the Daybreak theme: the processing of subconscious '80s experiences. The tracks combine the bombastic and monumental sounds of the '70s with the airiness and melancholy of the independent scene of the '80s. 'Until I Find You' is also a wonderful swan song to a great night."

Artist:	COSMIC SANDWICH
Title:	Man In the Box Rmx Vol 1
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12019EP

"The crazy original of Cosmic Sandwich's 'Man In a Box' made it into the top 20 of 2005 in Groove magazine. With these remixes the record has received a special treatment from our neighbor André Kraml and our young shooting star Daso. André Kraml is well known for his Safari track on Firm that was remixed by James Holden and for his fabulous remix of Dominik Eulbergs 'der purpurrote sonnenuntergang am schilfumsäumten bergsee'. With his 'Man In a Box' remix André delivers his perspective in a straightened out beat format, having tiny bits of the original pop up here and there, creating a surreal feeling with a strong and powerful analogue sounding production aiming also at bigger dance floors! For the flipside mbf artist Daso made a remix of the Man In a Box track 'You Too' giving it his special post-rock-disco character."

Artist:	COSMIC SANDWICH
Title:	Man In the Box Rmx Vol. 2
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12020EP

Following the successful remixes by André Kraml and Daso of Cosmic Sandwich's hit release, here comes the second part of the "Man In a Box Remixes," by Chardronnet and MBF artists Markese. In this volume, Cosmic Sandwich aka Steve Barnes was caught in his camouflage outfit during his wild and rave-y days in Brighton! Chardronnet's remix features another stunning bassline-driven tune that works, in addition to the original Cosmic Sandwich vocal samples and rhythmical stabs. The flipside track is a Markese & Cosilli remix that is a hypnotic, floating and deep track that uses a powerful bass section.

Artist:	TRIPLE R
Title:	Friends Are Silence
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	MBF 12021LP

Riley Reinhold, part owner of Traum & Trapez & MBF together with Jacqueline Klein, DJ, A & R head and the driving person behind many projects, has finally released a double 12" with tracks he produced with friends and artists on My Best Friend. Triple R aka Riley Reinhold has already released several EPs together with Steve Barnes aka Cosmic Sandwich. He has also produced with Emanuel Geller as well as Jorge Gebauhr from Argentina under the project name of Toro. This project found a lot of support by house DJs in Germany especially Atta from Playhouse. The five tracks on Friends Are Silence vary in nature and range from the deep house track "Someday," written & produced together with Steve Barnes, to the shuffle house rocker "Six Sick Torros," written and produced together with Jorge Gebauhr. The rhythm monster "Tengo Suerte Esta Noche" was also penned by the duo Gebauhr & Reinhold. The Italo disco flavored "Polyester" title was written in a jam session during a visit to Denis Karimani aka Remute in Cologne. And the dark, Konrad Black-style track "Beauty Needs No Wings" was recorded along with Emanuel Geller, founder of the dub house duo Salz and one of Riley's closest friends. Friends Are Silence comes together in a meeting of minds and beats.

Artist:	DIRT CREW
Title:	Silver
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12022EP

The Dirt Crew are back after a long break. MBF was the label to kick off and originate this crew, and Silver takes us back to those beginnings. "Silver" develops a traditional Chicago house into disco, with James Flavour and Break 3000 throwing a little dirt into the mix -- hypnotic, deep and cool. "Lost" proudly displays the darker side of tech house, with an '80s bassline that is carried through the track, pulling atmospheric sounds to the surface, making it a true after-hour pearl.

Artist:	NOZE
Title:	Kitchen Remixe
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12023EP

This track was originally released by the French couple from Paris: Nicolas Sfintescu (aka DJ Freak) founder of Circus Company and Ezechiel Pailhés. "Kitchen" is remixed by Thomas Schaeben, owner of Firm Records. Thomas is actually one of the few guys left in Cologne who experiments with a lot of hardware and guitars in professional studios. He totally re-played the "Kitchen" theme and added some strong heavy delays and nice crazy beat programming. On the flipside, Skat from Paris produces supercrazy funk-house. In his shuffle version of "Kitchen" he manages to cut up sounds like a world champion. A superb rhythmic dance track!

Artist:	DASO
Title:	Daybreak Remixe
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12024EP

The debut track by Daso, which was post-produced by Emanuel Geller and Riley Reinhold, was a small hit on My Best Friend. Now, one of Germany's hottest producers Oliver Koletzki has remixed it alongside the upcoming star Skat from the French label, Karat. Oliver has taken the track to newer grounds, picking up on a totally different beat and adding a more uptempo, electro feel to it. Skat's remix is hard jacking with a lot of understatement on the one hand, and with a strong passion for the groove one the other hand.

Artist:	EYERER & OLIVER KLEIN, MARTIN
Title:	Kairo
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12025EP

German producer team Martin Eyerer and Oliver Klein created a brilliant clubby minimal house EP with a touch of hypnotic trance and madness. The A-side track "Al Quadus" works with melodic and grinding basslines, jumping single notes, warped chords and atmospheric floating background sounds. The outcome of this is a third dimension which creates quite a journey. By contrast, the B-side "Cicada" is very stripped down, light, more joyful and crazy. It holds a mad, really long sequence which creates total frenzy.

Artist:	COSMIC SANDWICH
Title:	Battle Twig
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12026EP

"Battle Twig" is the old English word for the insect "Ear Wig," which describes to a degree the nature of the title track. This is a heavy analog-sounding beast that creeps around the floor, playing hide and seek, with sometimes quite gentle sounds lurking here and there. It's very much in the style of Steve Barnes' track "Cosmic Sandwich." With the much more elegant, almost pop-fueled "Scatter Realm," the idea of two minds in one person appears again. This track is a kingdom of sound, with its melodies being flung, spread, broadcasted, sprinkled and dispersed throughout the track. It is based on synth melodies that fill the air with joy.

Artist:	KLEIN & ZENKER
Title:	Delusion EP
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12027EP

The men behind the newly formed duo Klein & Zenker are the world famous producer Ramon Zenker of Hardfloor and Mutekki label-owner Oliver Klein. It is their first collaboration and the bizarre track "Delusion" already conveys what it's all about. It kicks off as a classic minimal track but then turns slowly into a hi-energy house tune with rocking sequencers and wonderful strings at the end of the track. On the flipside, the Finnish artist Jussi Pekka lends an old school interpretation of "Delusion" with a Detroit trance spin. It will find a lot of friends among the more traditional house DJs as an essential DJ tool.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Carbonat
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12030EP

The producers behind the Hamburg-based duo Piemont are Frederic Möring-Sack and Christian de Jonqueires. They have been releasing and playing under the name of Phunklarique & Dejonka since 2005. Their second release under their newly-formed artist name Piemont on MBF delivers two crazy minimal house stompers with jacking funky grooves that can rock. "Carbonat" is a classic tune, with electro house flair and nervous sequences, hands up in the air madness. "Glycerin" reminds us of Steve Bug's "Loverboy," but is more stripped-down and adds electro house sequences and mighty breaks. A duo to look out for.

Artist:	EYERER & OLIVER KLEIN, MARTIN
Title:	Tiflis
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12031EP

Here comes the follow up to the Kairo EP on MBF by producer-duo Martin Eyerer and Oliver Klein "Tiflis" is a fusion of Dr. Mabuse, Lil' Louis' "French Kiss" and Tim Taylor's "Horn Song," combining the cool with a monster break... waking up the dead. It's an alarm for the dance floors and does big damage. "Lütje" conveys the image of a big traffic jam in Manhattan, when everyone is blowing their horns, bikers go mad and people seem to be rushing everywhere in no particular direction. The track has a strong house touch, especially when the organ is introduced, making the track slightly funky.

Artist:	BUKADDOR & FISHBECK
Title:	Nachtexpress/Long Distance Call
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12032EP

Bukaddor & Fishbeck has had a big impact on German dancefloors and on Richie Hawtin's set at huge festivals. Nachtexpress starts off in an "off beat" mode, but has more of a hypnotic and understated character. "Long Distance Call" is a lot more relaxed -- almost mystical, seemingly non-directional at first, working its way into a post-Detroit track with nice strings coming along after some minutes, like a magnet in slow motion.

Artist:	CHAIM
Title:	Caroline
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12033EP

Chaim by now is well-known for hooky and hypnotic melodies and '80s-inspired synth licks flickering from speaker to speaker, effects, and memorable vocals that are wrapped inside a wall of sound. For MBF, Chaim has recorded "Caroline," a minimal track centered around a mighty chord. Its fat beat pattern is just massive. In contrast, "Same Same" (featuring James Blonde) and "De Move Da Beat" are two weird, over-the-top electro house tracks, destined to be played during those twisted and strange after-hours moments at the club.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Sympathetic
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12034EP

After Piemont's big success with their debut 12" Carbonat on MBF, F. Möring-Sack and Christian de Jonquières deliver a big time follow-up. The driving bass line and massive Moroder sequences make the title track "Sympathetic" an electro-house peak time tune. The break down features melodic stabs that collect the energy before the heavy beat of Piemont returns to rock. "Sick Certificate" is stripped down and rocks through its sick sequences pinching the air, still hypnotic. This slammer is a big techno-house tool.

Artist:	STEFAN & JURGEN POTZKOTEN, NICOLAS
Title:	Musik Bringt Freundschaft
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12035EP

Introducing two domestic young talents from the Rhein delta, Jürgen Potzkoten and Nicolas Stefan. Stefan started as a member of the electro house formation, Turbo and Berger as DJ Nyke, and has released two 12"s -- one on Karate Music and another 12" this year on Moguai's label, Polo Records. This debut on MBF is a serious step towards club culture. "Musik Bringt Freundschaft" is a joyful minimal house mover with cool breakdowns and melodic sequences. The track is very airy and follows a nice collective spirit with plenty of breaks to collect energy. "Man Alive!" is a more classic and tight minimal house track, reminiscent of Steve Bug's "Loverboy" but with the cool, laid-back feeling Nicolas Stefan is known for.

Title:	Supaglass/Campus
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12036EP

Bukaddor & Fishbeck's third EP on MBF, Supaglass, is the follow-up release to Polterabend/Less. After their excursion into deeper rhythmical grooves with their second 12" Nachtexpress, they managed to add another facet to their production style. "Supaglass" rocks the floors with its forward-going movement and speed. The flip-side track, "Campus" is tremendously strong, with a monster bassline, great breaks and wonderful timing. Peak-time quality.

Artist:	CHAIM & JAMES BLONDE
Title:	Roxy Feeling
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12038EP

James Blonde and Chaim present their debut 12" on MBF, a tribute to Roxy Music. "Roxy Feeling" is hypnotic with sequencers creating a super, seemingly effortless dub-groove in a timeless, stripped-down arrangement. The first and original mix of "Crack" is a traditional synth-driven song, with ghostly voices out in the distance. A more minimal remix follows by Hamburg's Pelle Buys -- straight, rocking, stripped-down German techno-house.

Artist:	PIERCE & JERL
Title:	Cuvee
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12041EP

The Cologne duo Pierce & Jerl have been around for years, but only recently joined forces. This exclusive project is all about carnality and savoring moments, and for them, music has to sound rich and bass-y. "Cuvee" is a mighty bass-driven track with links to Chicago's early moments, taking piano chords to another level by repeating them and creating a hypnotic flowing pattern. "Bouquet" is a peak-time tech-house track, with the nervous energy that drives people crazy on the dancefloor.

Artist:	PELE & TOWNSTON
Title:	Requiem For Three Cellos
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12043EP

The producer team Pele & Townston hail from South Germany. Their project is exclusive on MBF and will fit in neatly in the gap between Bukaddor & Fishbeck and Piemont. "The Who" starts off as a groovy stripped-down beat track but develops more and more into a rhythm monster. "Requiem For Three Cellos" is a mixture of cool drugged-out beats and haunting sounds, developing more and more hypnotic qualities which makes it a big club track.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Black Smoker
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12044EP

Piemont's third EP Black Smoker on MBF gives you a glimpse of their forthcoming LP. The EP's theme is the deep sea and the A-side has dedicated itself to the chimneys of the sea, the "Black Smokers," black ugly emissions that create colorful plants that would not be able to "bloom" in such garishness without them. Stoic, slightly funky, slightly psychedelic disco, with ringing bells ascending and drowning again. "Superheated" is a very rhythmic, percussive track, like a crazy sea-monster.

Artist:	CLEIS, MICHEL
Title:	Dixie On Monday
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12047EP

Michel Cleis has an eclectic past rooted in rock and pop, but his love for "shakin' music," humanism, and creativity have put him in contact with like-minded people, and he is now increasingly active as a techno producer. His first 12" for MBF is very strange and authentic and comes with two very different tracks: "Dixie On Monday" is a 12-minute groover with lots of percussion, whereas "Deconstructed" is more direct and Chicago house styled -- dark and weird.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Central Mouth
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12048EP

Piemont presents a taster of his Central Mouth full-length, released on My Best Friend. Frederic Möring-Sack and Christian de Jonquiéres evoke the ghosts of previous releases such as Carbonat, Sympathetic and Black Smoker, but add another facet. "Central Mouth" is a track that genuinely brings rave and percussive skills together, with reductive elements on the one hand and a "hands in the air feeling" on the other. "Retroreflector" possesses stronger percussive elements in a wonderful flow. Enjoy the voyage.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Strange World Beyond
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12051EP

Piemont presents Strange World Beyond, dedicated to the deep sea. They have been supported in the past by Richie Hawtin, DJ Hell, Dubfire, and more. Piemont are not a product of current minimal techno, but are influenced by advanced technology and sound design as well as the history of electronic music. That Piemont's background is not solely a techno one can be witnessed by their sympathy for different musical styles. Strange World Beyond creates funky rocking moments of clubbiness.

Artist:	BUKADDOR & FISHBECK
Title:	Tandem
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12053EP

This is the 5th release by Bukaddor & Fishbeck on MBF and the Cologne-Düsseldorf duo show that there is more to them than meets the eye. "Tandem" could be characterized as a post-Chicago tune with a Germanic twist. With unconventional changes in dynamic and rocking synth sounds, this is a peak-time, off-beat monster. "Monofolder" is understated and bassy, with a cool, slick, minimal groove, lots of percussive elements, and ghostly, late-night chords.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Black Smoker & Carbonat Rmxs
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12056EP

The two biggest hits by Piemont, "Black Smoker" and "Carbonat," are remixed by four German artists. Nils Nilson has added a smooth, house-y deep note and rising chords to the original, creating a laid-back, cool atmosphere. Goldfish & Der Dulz create a heavy afterhour burner, while Soukie & Windish keep it deep and add a bit of an edge. Finally, Helge Kuhl's electro-house remix adds a cool bass line and a wonderful melancholy melody to the original.

Artist:	BUKADDOR & FISHBECK
Title:	Bonusmeilen/Riffpunk
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12060EP

Bukaddor & Fishbeck pay tribute to the funky side of disco using modern techniques on Bonusmeilen. The title track bursts with energy right from the beginning, skillfully including lots of small sounds and mini-breaks cutting into the rhythm, creating an unbelievable tension. A trumpet makes its way into the track and tears it apart. "Riffpunk" has destroyed dancefloors during the duo's live sets with its slapping, emotional chords and funky guitars. Similarities with Daft Punk are purely coincidental.

Artist:	KAISERDISCO
Title:	Cocktail
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12061EP

Kaiserdisco presents Cocktail for My Best Friend. "Amalfino" is a strong, driving percussive track that builds on child-like vocals, creating a bit of a fairy-light atmosphere within a massive production. "Bailetto" is a bit of a continuation of "Amalfino," working with similar vocals but with less of a peak-time formula. With "Carachillo," Kaiserdisco have added a cool and deep, house-y track with Indian vocals and samples, which could be cool for the house community.

Artist:	BUKADDOR & FISHBECK
Title:	Raedereichen
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12062EP

Bukaddor & Fishbeck present "Raedereichen," a track that you cannot estimate before you have heard it loud, or even better, in a club. This is a track with quite a bit of a live experience, with a superb flow and monster bass line -- a new genre of techno-rave! "Rolling Stoned" strongly contrasts and is more accessible, comforting and bounce-y -- it is a sexy beast, a groove machine, a ghost track, a raw diamond with well-polished facets.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Underpass
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12063EP

"Underpass" is one of those typical Piemont monsters that starts off abstract, only to become almost catchy and sweetly soulful. It could be categorized as futuristic post-Chicago techno, featuring an amazing sound design and 1,001 sounds melting together in total harmony. "Twice As Long" is a super bounce-y, uplifting track that will keep all the die-hard MBF fans happy. Finally, "Walkway" is a P-Funk monster that will break glass, featuring rocking, psychedelic dance tools that will seduce the soul.

Artist:	KAISERDISCO
Title:	Pez Gordo
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12064EP

Kaiserdisco present their monster, "Aguja," a breathtaking track riding on spiritual vocal passages, lush melodies, diverse themes, and a strong tribal beat. "Cailon" is a cool groover, more steady, deep, and repetitive with a massive bass line, vocal stabs and deep chords that make the track breathe. Shifting towards hypnotic beats, "Bacalao" explores different states of consciousness with a superb bandwidth of music. This track should be played with a lot of funky deeper house.

Artist:	BUKADDOR & FISHBECK
Title:	Smile
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12065EP

"Smile" is one of the strongest tracks Bukaddor & Fishbeck have ever produced. The track's pop influence gives their dry and fat beat structure a slightly different cross-over feeling. This unlikely fusion works fantastically especially in a club. "Hausnummer" in comparison plays with the vocal elements of old school house in a way that one would not expect Bukaddor & Fishbeck to use -- a nice blend of minimal deep acid house all clad in a modern sound aesthetic.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Grandfather's Clock
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12066EP

"Grandfather's Clock" may be the most house-influenced release from the German duo Piemont so far. Going more deep, dirty and house-y this time, they turn towards a more relaxed and slack approach. Chopping up bits of vocals and sounds, tight and funky, this is what Piemont is all about. "Running Mirror" manifests a turning point in their musical spectrum to the deeper grounds of electronic dance and will get other DJs involved in their manifold world of music.

Artist:	SQL
Title:	Midnight Brunch
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12068EP

SQL's 4-track EP Midnight Brunch is based on magic, stripped-down tracks which seem sparse, but are, in fact, super-funky. A bit of Chicago's house history is incorporated for sure, but Pim van Horssen is definitely also new school. His dry and wailing sounds put him next to Daniel Bell. "Midnight Brunch" is a peak-time rocker, while "Border Dot" is a more sensual mover, with a more recognizable arrangement. "Funky Visa" and "Sunday" represent the more deep end of SQL.

Artist:	TREMSCH & METZLER
Title:	20 Toes
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12070EP

Tremsch & Metzler aka Martin Maier & Daniel Fuchs have created their own style of music which is based on new school techno house. They may have never heard of WARP legends such as Sweet Exorcist, still their 3 tracks carry that Northern industrial flavor and combine it with funk. "20 Toes" as well as "Head Games" perfectly transport this spirit, whereas "Development" feels housier with samples of children's vocals and cut up reverse sounds that create a semi-acoustic feeling.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Chair Or Throne
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12071EP

Piemont inject some soul into minimal on Chair Or Throne. The title track boasts an irresistible vocal snippet-collage, where three different sources of vocals clash with each other in a funky way, creating madness and deepness. This is a techno house stormer for peak-time moments. Definitely a tune for DJs who love to dance behind the turntables to their own music before the club has opened their doors. Includes a remix by Basti Grub.

Artist:	BUKADDOR & FISHBECK
Title:	Glaedys
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12073EP

Bukaddor & Fishbeck return with a 12" that will seduce and baffle critics with its stylistic diversity while winning new fans with its daring refusal to conform to contemporary minimal house. "Glaedys" features euphoric vocal snippets chasing each other, FX sounds evolving from the depth of the bass, and filters opening with the speed of light. "Vocoloco" is a tuff track -- trippy, drugged-out minimalism evolves into a kind of hi-NRG track to set all dancefloors on fire.

Artist:	PIEMONT
Title:	Smoking Cave
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12074EP

Piemont is in tune with their more house-flavored trax with a twist on this MBF 12". "Smoking Cave" conveys "new jack" feeling with cool vocals meeting each other -- clashing nicely and creating a super funky rhythm. House and minimal DJs will like these chords and ascending strings, in the best wild pitch manner. "Animals To Drink" is more techno house, more straight in your face, more tool and will work nicely with the DJs that want more stripped-down tracks.

Artist:	KAISERDISCO
Title:	In No One's Shadow Remixes
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12075EP

Here is a remix 12" of tracks from Kaiserdisco's album In No One's Shadow. DJ Madskillz and 2000 And One reduce the original of "Amalfino" into the essentials while still getting a bit of deepness going. Yousef presents a laidback, melodic version of "In No One's Shadow," keeping it really steady-going but mellow and deep. Sébastian Léger's remix of "Simplistix" is a tough and technoid kind of techno-house-hybrid and F.Sonik's remix of "Aguja" focuses on a tripped-out minimal style.

Artist:	TUBE & BERGER VS. FRANK SONIC
Title:	The Swarm
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12080EP

Tube & Berger vs. Frank Sonic create a timeless dance tune with "The Swarm." Put Steve Bug in a room with DJ Pierre and this is what you might get. Minicoolboyz have crafted a very cool remix for after hours, relying on the steady sound of a mosquito swarm. "Autan" is similar in style and warmth and keeps the beat sexy and attractive until the very end. Small stunts, reductive rhythm, controlled, cool drive... a winner.

Artist:	KAISERDISCO
Title:	Zouk EP
Label:	MY BEST FRIEND (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MBF 12083EP

Kaiserdisco are definitely "Made in Germany," producing modern, cutting-edge tracks with a nevertheless timeless and classic feel. "Kuala" is an ethno-natured track with a lively bass line and uplifting small melody stabs, smithereens of vocals and a superb drive. For the more traditional Kaiserdisco fan, there's "Singa," another powerful tool of a track. Kaiserdisco keep a beat tight and introduce a lot of rising, cool sounds, building up lots of vertical "hands-in-the air" energy.

"A psychedelic highlight once again on the sublabel of MBF, MBF Limited . Break 3000 known for his records on MBF with Adam Kroll and his share on the Dirt Crew project gives us 'Flash'. It is a monumental track, beautiful but at the same time quite deranged and bizarre, a trip on unknown territory . It could as well be a soundtrack for Tarkowskis 'Stalker'. But it's glamorous chords have reminded someone of seals music. So we guess it has that character as well. On the flipside we find a quite smooth and slick house tracks, not as bizarre more nice and almost the opposite. So there is more than one truth in a 'Flash'!"

"'Cosmic Sandwich' the first track of Cosmic Sandwich aka Steve Barnes and the initial track defining his project, comes here in an exclusive remix by himself and on the flipside by Traum's Domink Eulberg. Explosive, warped-crazy house, modulating into nothingness and back to the starting point, comes here with new funky basslines and a quite different mood, triggered by Steve Barnes. The flipside by Domink Eulberg takes the original creating a rave monster on ist on. A true voyage through energy levels that accumulate in a crass turning point, that is a very special one."

"Mateo & Gantelmi are well known in France for their live appearances on many festivals. Their music is very artistic and beautiful. The duo has a stronger band than dancefloor approach. Together with vocalist Miss Anacor they developed a rocking dance track especially for MBF. The A-side track 'Danseur' is unique in the way the deep bassline and the sequencer grind through it providing the force a track needs for club play. For the flipside Daso provided a remix of Mateo & Gantelmis unreleased track 'Guacamole.' Daso has just released his first EP 'Daybreak' on MBF.

Catalog #:	MBF LTD009

"Here we have one of the oddest teams you can imagine. Dirk Leyers, one part of Closer Music on Kompakt and Nerk, aka Benjamin Weiss, a member of Berlin's techno formation Tok Tok. Both bands have achieved cult status within the techno world. Dizzy Monster is a freaked out power house 12" with two tracks that have potential to rock the big floors. The A side is an hysteric, over the top funkerneer with screaming sequences, cool sub-bass breaks and powerful drums that speak their own unique but universal language. 'Monster One' as the title says, is an untameable techno-house track, which contains a bit of the feeling old Berlin techno used to transport. In the style of 'Klang der Familie' the track is definitely a nightrider. 'Monster One' has that special feel to it, is also quite disturbed in its way and leaves you with a bit of goose skin... wow!"

"The Swiss producer Markese had released two exceptional 12"s on Trapez Ltd already when he came up with these deep house tracks, perfect for our house imprint MBF. The a-side track 'Oregano' is a tasteful blend of house and 80ies feeling. Uplifting moments breaking through the melancholic prevailing mood as if the sun has managed to make it's way through the stained glass windows of the warehouses, we grew up with.

Riley Reinhold's 11-minute epic "Hollow Hills" was inspired by the 1968 film The Night Of The Following Day with Marlon Brando. Jittering voices, sounds that ricochet and bass lines that come on like little earthquakes evoke the darkness of long, narrow subterranean passageways. Gohan's remix electrifies the track with his vision of modern, daring electronica, bordering on music the glorious Wishmountain made in the past. Oeler's remix features a tougher and more elaborate percussive beat at its core.
