Artist: MEYER, MATTHIAS
Title: Reichenbach/Voltage
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LDLTD 001EP
For the first time in the label's 5 year history, Liebe*Detail re-releases two of its biggest hits on a strictly limited 12". Both tracks have been produced by Matthias Meyer. "Reichenbach" is a concisely-crafted peak-time track. Its metallic, urgent drive builds up a lot of tension leading up to an inevitable, massive climax. "Voltage" is on a slightly different, yet highly energetic tip, featuring trance-y pop harmonies which culminate in a goosebump-inducing breakdown, abashing the Border Community camp.


Artist: LAWRENCE/JICHAEL MACKSON

Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)

Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LDLTD 004EP

Format: 12"

Catalog #: LDLTD 005EP
Here's the 5th round of Liebe*Detail's hand-picked re-release series. This time, the label combined two very special tracks from outstanding artists Tiger Stripes and Ed Davenport together on a strictly-limited 12". Both tracks haven't been available for more than 3 years on vinyl.


Artist: KOIVIKKO/BEESE & SCHMITZ, SAMI
Title: Meander/Tanake
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 004EP
"After his acclaimed 'Kut Pulatin'-EP's on Shitkatapult and a 'Firm' EP on Festplatten, there's a new sign of life of the talented Finn Sami Koivikko finally. The bassline rolls fresher than ever besides the kickin bassdrum. A metallic sawing drills its way and comes more and more to the fore. Groan, hi-hats and the famous Koivikko-Chords add to success and turn 'Tanake' to a real electrical storm on the dancefloor. Don't miss this energetic tune -- it will hit the crowd! With their debut on the flip producer Jens Beese and DJ Maurizio Schmitz take us for a ride through mysterious sounds and groaning melodies. On its way to the surface 'Meander' trails from a spheric groove to a funky slammer after a incredible breakpoint in the second half. A pushing track, which leaves astonished faces and causes muscle ache on club's dancefloors. All this without being crude and brash."


Artist: SERAFIN/VINCENZO
Title: Starship Discotheque / Scope
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 007EP
"In the past, Vincenzo has been known for his delicate deephouse productions, though lately, he developed a second musical identity, which definitely caters more for hedonistic clubs around the world. A few months ago, 'Valium,' his debut track for Liebe*Detail, has been a first hint at things to come. With 'Scope' Vincenzo explores his new path even more. He only takes the best from dance music's history. His arrangement is inspired by wild pitch, his basslines marry disco with Italo and his sound design is clearly referring to the here and now. 'Scope' proves that Vincenzo has understood the dancefloor's needs perfectly. Ever since the days of Sun Ra, Parliament, UR and Star Trek, the starship has become a projection screen for a political utopia, as well as for escapism. These issues have always been closely linked to techno. Now Swiss DJ/producer Serafin picks up on this theme and creates a potential soundtrack for the first Mars mission's board disco. His liquid, crystal beats build an airy foundation for a spine tingling melody, perfectly fitting the fact that there a billions of suns in space, always shining..."


Artist: MEYER/NDRU, MATTHIAS
Title: Reichenbach/ A Pony Named Clipklop
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 008EP
"'Reichenbach' is a concisely crafted peaktime track. Its metallic, urgent drive builds up a lot of tension leading up to an inevitable, massive climax. This definitely is excessive maximal techno. Its sheer precision and power will leave dancefloors breathless. In direct comparison, young producer Andre Gansebohm alias Ndru's track is more relaxed. With a duration of more than 11 minutes, it is not only the longest track ever released by Liebe*Detail so far, but it is also the one with the strongest narrative concept beyond the usual tales of the dancefloor. Ndru develops the story of a pony named Clipklop working as a cashier in a supermarket. Most of the track's sounds consist of field recordings, Ndru actually collected in supermarkets. Stylistically, the track sticks to minimal as well as clicks'n'cuts traditions, but Ndru manages to balance the genres' artificiality by adding warm, low key harmonies."


Artist: KARIMANI/LEE JONES
Title: Incubatio/Wax Off
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 009EP
"Denis Karimani -- 'Incubatio': Although Hamburg's Denis Karimani has already released an EP for Dial under his real name, he might best be known under his alias Remute (Areal/Trapez/Weave). With 'Incubatio' Karimani delivers a dark, swinging track. Developing it from a rolling groove in a very intuitive and spontaneous way, it clearly shows the experience Denis gained from uncountable live sets. Lee Jones -- 'Wax Off': Lee Jones might not exactly be a newcomer, but his debut for Liebe*Detail is a premiere anyway. Compared to My My's more playful approach, he focuses on a more electronic and cleaner aesthetic here. He creates a psychedelic and dubby flow without sacrificing his crystal clear sound design."


Artist: CROM & TIGERSKIN/JICHAEL MACKSON, ANDRE
Title: Fluff In the Bellybutton/Notaufnahme
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 011EP
"Since several years, Andre Crom is known as resident DJ of Düsseldorf's Harpune club and the monthly clubnight 'Heimatmelodie' at Essen's Hotel Shanghai. The first result of his cooperation with Alex Krüger (aka Tigerskin, aka Dub Taylor aka producer of Phonique) is an instant peaktime slammer. That the guys know very exactly what drives a dancefloor is obvious after just a few seconds: the beats and bleeps are crisp and clear. And when the mad flange-sounds set in, dancefloor madness is guaranteed. That's also the opinion of DJs like Magda, Troy Pierce, Jay Haze, Kiki or Jesse Rose. The journey is the reward -- that's something Munich based producer Jichael Mackson seems to have had in mind while producing 'Fluff in my Bellybutton.' This is like an extensive ride on a pogo stick in slowmotion. Additionally, 'Fluff...' is the musical equivalent to a branchless patchwork vita, comprising anything between minimal, deephouse, breakbeats or acid."


Artist: BATTILANI/EFDEMIN, ANGELO
Title: Empty/Lohn & Brot
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 014EP
"According to their policy of promoting fresh talent, Liebe Detail feature 20 year-old Italian Angelo Battilani from Ravenna on the flipside. His tack here is not as empty as the track title suggests, although you can certainly label it 'minimal,' in which 'Empty' is not referring to the genre so much in a deranged afterhour sense. It rather focuses on highly dynamic beats, which slightly shift during the course of nine-and-a-half minutes. Using only a few, precisely set elements, Battilani turns this one into a rocking tool that, despite its straightforwardness, manages to roll flexibly. After Phillip Sollmann aka Efdemin has finished his studies at the Institute For Computer music in Vienna, he moved to Berlin, where he has found a lot of opportunities to engage himself intensively with techno and house again. Where Efdemin's earlier production work was rather focused on slow, abstract house in the vein of Theo Parrish, he has now turned to a more functional approach without losing his special sense for deepness. Efdemin's sound design has become a lot more unobscured and differentiated. And he knows how to adjust old school influences to contemporary listening habits, which makes 'Lohn & Brot' the sublime hit one could only expect from Efdemin."


Artist: SEBBO/LARS WICKINGER
Title: Beirut Boogie/Villa Incognito
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 016EP
"DJ Sebbo from Würzburg is and has been a big influence on the scene in his hometown, where he holds a residency at the club Airport. He also started producing in the late '90s. Last year he made waves with releases on Trackdown and Fullscale. His track 'Beirut Boogie' for Liebe*Detail is a reduced and rolling affair, using orchestral horn and trumpet samples in a very innovative way. By adding a sparse breakbeat here and there, Sebbo manages to enrich his track with unobtrusive funk that emphasizes the general flow of 'Beirut Boogie.' Lars Wickinger lives and works in Berlin. He's considered one of the up-and-coming new school minimalists, having released on Traum and Opossum so far. His 'Villa Incognito' digs deep into an elaborate groove, which creates an improbable undertow. Single, swelling synths wash over the track every once in a while, creating subtle climaxes without stealing attention from the flowing, delicate percussion work."


Artist: TIGER STRIPES/SOLOMUN
Title: Hooked/Jungle River Cruise
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 017EP
"Tiger Stripes is Mikael Nordgren from Sweden. In the past, he has also been producing as D'Malicious and 12th Floor on influential labels such as King Street, Ibadan and Wave. He also collaborated with Kerri Chandler and Jerome Sydenham. As Tiger Stripes he dedicates himself to the fusion of soulful house and garage elements with a more grabbing techno aesthetic. In doing so, he manages to cover all sorts of intensity levels, whereupon 'Hooked,' his contribution for liebe*detail, definitely resides at the upper end of the scale, as it is a very electronic, pushing track which still is aware of his roots in the North American house triangle New York/Chicago/Detroit, but also manages to infuse it with a European techno sensitivity. On the flip, Mladen Solomun from Hamburg, owner of the label Diynamic Music and promoter of a party of the same name, explores a similar musical terrain, but he does so in a more deep and laid back way."


Artist: VINCENZO & JOEL MULL/ED DAVENPORT
Title: Stocktown/Eyespeak
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 018EP
"Having contributed two tracks and one remix for liebe*detail already, Vincenzo now returns as a team with Joel Mull from Stockholm, who alongside Adam Beyer, is rated among the most important DJs/producers in Scandinavia. Their track 'Stocktown' is a lesson in techno-infused precision and sound aesthetics. What starts with a more than tight groove in a rather dark way, surprisingly develops into a very uplifting track, basking in beautifully crafted synth harmonies, which won't fail to unfold their euphoric qualities. Their dry, technical knowledge meets with an absolute intention for huge emotions. This equation definitely works! Ed Davenport is also not a stranger to liebe*detail anymore, because after 'Swantalk',' 'Eyespeak' already is his second contribution to the label. Comparing his debut to his sophomore effort, 'Swantalk' still was much more anchored in the minimal area. 'Eyespeak,' however, displays an unmistakable enthusiasm for warm and driving house chords forming the linchpin of this track. Ed doesn't deliver a classic house track, anyhow. He rather takes a huge chunk of inspiration from Chicago house and turns it into a very modern sounding, kicking dance track."


Artist: TOUANE/ULYSSE
Title: Chamber/Sometimes
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 019EP
"Ulyssse is a young producer from Paris who regularly hosts his Puzzle parties at the Batofar, but his debut for liebe*detail doesn't associate itself with recent trends from the French capital like Ed Banger style rockrave or the eccentric funk from labels such as Karat or Circus Company. 'Sometimes' rather establishes a perfect groove with only a few elements creating a hypnotic undertow. Sonically, the track bass heavily moves under water, perfectly crafted for the time when the dancefloor has long forgotten to go home. Together with Donato Dozzy Marco Tonni aka Touane is among the most excellent Italian producers coining minimal dance music from southern Europe over the last few years. Where Dozzy focusses on progressively-tinged, hypnotic techniques, Touane rather is a tireless explorer of unheard of textures and harmonies, which he perfectly proved on his album Figura on Stewart Walker's Persona label. 'Chamber' seamlessly is picking up his album thread. The track puts together a rangy percussion work sitting on a bed of discreet and feastful harmonies turning it into candy floss for hyper sensitive dancers."


Artist: TASNADI/BRAUNS & NURNBERG, SVEN
Title: A Run Into Flowers/Delicious
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 020EP
"Sven Tasnadi has released a solo EP and a collaboration with Daniel Stefanik on Cargo Edition so far. His work can be classified as minimal in a wide sense, but not in that aseptic way, as his tracks are more groovy, deep and always have the human touch by his use of elaborate yet loose percussion patterns. For his track on Liebe Detail, he is holding up to those virtues, but follows a path clearly inspired by deep house. The track lives on one irresistible synth theme navigating 'A Run Into Flowers' towards discretely euphoric moments. Hamburg-based producer Holger Brauns, who has released his music in different constellations on labels such as Gumption, Kostbar Musik and Dimmer, takes a similar approach with his partner Nils Nürnberg. 'Delicious' fathoms the concept of deep house with regards to its validity in the here and now, arriving at the conclusion that the genre's vocabulary is so universal, it will never go out of fashion. This track is perfect for the early and/or late hours of a soulful party."


Artist: ROSE/ANTHONY COLLINS
Title: Macadame Shamanbo/Bricolage
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 021EP
"A-side: Rose - 'Macadame Shamanbo.' Rose, girlfriend and DJ partner of fellow Parisian Ulysse (whose track 'Sometimes' experienced great success last year on Liebe*Detail 19) keeps things rolling with the tribal edged techno of 'Macadame Shamanbo.' Dense, funked-up percussion and a driving sub bassline ensure the energy is maintained while an array of other-worldly samples float above the groove, making each new powerful transition even more exciting and refreshing! B-side: Anthony Collins - 'Bricolage.' Following on the Parisian theme, young scenester Anthony Collins takes control of the B-side with a lush, synthy afterhours jam, full of warmth and classic sentiments. Phasing, skipping synths layer above deep house chords, which in turn twist around a lovely shuffling groove. Certainly one for those special early morning moments, Collins' musical abilities shine through, and he creates a track that sends tingles of positivity pouring through the speakers."


Artist: GRASER & NOTIC NASTIC/WILLIE GRAFF & TUCCILLO, PATRICK
Title: I'm Very Close/Paru Paru
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 022EP
"Patrick Gräser & Notic Nastic: 'I'm Very Close': Berlin newcomers Patrick Gräser & Notic Nastic team up on this burning, dramatic track that fuses edgy building chords and jittery synth lines with a slow pumping arrangement. A solid and continuous dancefloor moment, the insistent bassline and synthetic drums merge with layered melodic-acid phrases that suggest a central theme, building an intense trip. 'I'm Very Close' is a worthy title in fact, as the teasing effect of each of its sensual builds reminds us of the joys such a 'plateaux' of pleasure can bring? Equally remarkable whenever aired throughout the night, Patrick Gräser & Notic Nastic have cooked up a versatile clubtrack with a definite and deliciously addictive carnal aroma! Willie Graff & Tuccillo: "Paru Paru': Diving deeper, but maintaining a grooving energy which will warm the floor beautifully, New York's young Cielo resident, Ibizian Willie Graff joins forces with fellow Ibizian house activist Guiseppe Tuccillo in this late-night tantalising offering. Willie proved the duo had created something special when he gave the track its first airing at Panoramabar, and this super deep cut of classically inspired minimal house really came into it's element.


Artist: MEYER/STIMMING, MATTHIAS
Title: Tout Va Bien/The Anger
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 023EP
"Hamburg resident and rising star Matthias Meyer has already released two huge tracks on Liebe*Detail, which gained him much praise from both the media and DJ world. After a long break, he's back with his long-awaited follow-up. Now its time for him to show off the more psychedelic edge of his sonic adventures with the aerated and deeply spaced 'Tout Va Bien.' An immaculate, streaming introduction draws us far into the tunnels of Meyers's percussive world, with long, drawn-out passages freezing time and working the reduced groove into a serotonin-heavy oblivion. Don't miss it! Fellow Hamburger Martin Stimming has developed quite an armory of hits in the past year, showing off his unique, jazzy and classically inspired floor-burning sound as one of the central artists on the acclaimed Diynamic label. 'The Anger' is an exclusive gem, which builds up an expertly crafted club arrangement, full of teasing peaks and twisted drum breaks, amounting to a dramatic and unforgettable 'string quartet' climax. A true hybrid of house, techno, disco and soul, it's another reason to keep a careful ear open and catch the detail as it flies freely and in abundance!"


Artist: TASNADI/REMUTE, SVEN
Title: Saturn Return/Decubatio
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 024EP
"Leipzig-based rising talent Sven Tasnadi delivers a swirling, rushing blend of atmospheric future deep techno. His debut 12″ on Liebe*Detail 20, A Run Into Flowers announced his love for warm, groove-led house music with positive and melodic tendencies, which was followed by a string of equally musical EPs for Cargo Edition, including an acclaimed collaboration with Daniel Stefanik. 'Saturn Return,' his second track for Liebe Detail, is a magical whirlwind trip, perfectly designed for the dancefloor, and utterly mindblowing! Hypnotic and irresistible synth patterns combine, layer and build in an unstoppable and dramatic extended moment of elation. A solid and celebrated favorite amongst the minimal techno scene, his floor-rocking live sets and productions have brought Denis Karimani (aka Remute) the reputation of a force to be reckoned with. 'Decubatio' follows on from the brain-twisting bomb of 'Incubatio,' featured on Liebe*Detail 09. The track is a hyper-produced mass of machine funk mixed with beautiful phases of subtle melody and atmosphere."


Artist: FREDA & VOLTA/JUNO 6, SALVATORE
Title: Bombolone
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 025EP
"Part of the growing crew of Swiss DJs and producers proving they know what's at the cutting edge, these two producers, also new to the Liebe*Detail family, have begun working together to great success recently, and this is one of the sunniest cuts you'll hear as we approach the winter months. Rolling, beautifully-constructed beats and FX merge with organic percussion and a chanting, haunting female vocal refrain. Bound to go straight to the top, and already causing a huge stir amongst those in the know, this was a hit even before it left the studio! Juno 6 06 - 'Molto In Basso': a newcomer to Liebe*Detail, but already an experienced electronic producer and live performer, Juno6 is a Leipzig-based artist with real deepness at heart. His track 'Molto In Basso' builds from clear-cut bass energy into a complex and emotional ride full of rich, textural synths and uplifting percussive phrasing. Its an unpredictable trip whose roots are firmly implanted in deep-house and yet manages to rise up and surprise us with its attention to detail and clarity. We're proud to present yet another A-class piece of music from Hamburg, with love."


Artist: PARKER, SPENCER/EKKOHAUS
Title: Untitled Head/Learning To Fly
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 026EP
"Spencer Parker -- 'Untitled Head': Having been firmly introduced to the scene through his numerous releases and remixes for the likes of Rekids, Buzzin' Fly, Tsuba Records and NRK, London's own Spencer Parker is another new addition to Liebe*Detail's astounding and always growing artist roster. His pure peak time, straight-up house offering, 'Untitled Head,' pushes the pressure and really possesses the power to rock. A tough rolling, tribal groove pumps from the floor upwards, carrying this 9 minute monster through all of its exciting, expertly controlled phases. Balancing somewhere between an essential mixing tool and a strongly original dancefloor statement in its own right, it's a tried and tested winner, from a musician who is quickly climbing the ranks with his classic-meets-future house sound. Ekkohaus -- 'Learning To Fly': Deriving from Greece, Berlin resident Ekkohaus also built his reputation in London, forging his way alongside his contemporaries in the vibrant underground club scene. This, his first release on Liebe*Detail, is an energetic roller that also works on many different levels. On the surface, 'Learning To Fly' is a functional, solidly constructed track that will surely ignite the dancefloor in some of the world's more discerning house clubs. Listen deeper, however, and you'll find a wealth of detail and lovingly created off-kilter sound scapes, expressing Ekkohaus' background in more experimental fields. This track further cements his rightful place as a name to watch over the coming year!"


Artist: FREDA & VOLTA/LANGENBERG, SALVATORE
Title: Wild Beach/Ideosami
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 028EP
"Swiss residents Salvatore Freda & Volta return to the pleasant shores of harbour city Hamburg's liebe*detail. After their mesmerizing first appearance; Bombolone, for the label last year (liebe025), and fresh from their stunning Western Spaghetti EP on Freerange, the duo have cooked up another real burner here in their new track 'Wild Beach.' Rolling percussion and classic house-club rising strings propel the energy forward over 8 minutes of intense, modern hybrid-house delights. On top of this, its distinctive lead riff and totally solid club-assured production gives us something rather exciting to lift our hands up to...! Whisking us away into the dizzying heights of their electro-organic world, the two very promising producers once again make their mark. Essen's Langenberg marks his debut on liebe*detail with a brilliantly constructed moment of house that not only works very well as a functional tool, but whose complex, swelling atmospheres full of vocal snippets and of course the wonderful rising synth melody convince us that this is an artist with real talents. After his warming, diverse releases on Dessous, Sthlm Audio and Drumpoet, 'Ideosami' marks a new level of maturity for Langenberg, successfully creating a vibe that could happily continue for hours, as we dance away into the blissful morning."


Artist: MEYER/WAREIKA, MATTHIAS
Title: Infinity/Smiles
Label: LIEBE DETAIL (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: LIEBE 029EP
"Riding the wave of the recent success of tracks like 'Tout Va Bien' and 'Skipper,' Matthias Meyer continues his deep exploration into rolling, uplifting house bombs with 'Infinity.' A classy, hypnotizing vibe is built from the outset, with smooth chords and subtle arrangement tweaks lifting the tension higher as we approach the arrival of a very catchy hook indeed! Teasing and yet fulfilling all the while, this is truly one for those heart-stopping, timeless moments. Meyer once again pulls on our heart strings with an emotionally charged modern house classic. Wareika - 'Smiles': These three deep-afro-house experimentalists are atop a newly cast wave bound for the shores of underground stardom. After their superb debut 'Men Village' on Connaisseur last year, or the recent 'King's Child' on Motivbank, the trio have really built a unique and stand out sound for themselves. 'Smiles' is a typically trippy, wonderfully meandering cut that takes us on a mystic journey through funky jazz licks, smooth piano and synth textures, Arabic undertones and psychedelic waterfalls of richly produced sound. A treat for the ears and for the mind!"

Arsy is a promising talent from the former East German town of Dessau. With a solid foundation of tracky, hypnotic releases he now comes to Liebe*Detail with "Hoppla." Smooth and swinging, it evolves over 9 minutes with an addictive tonal theme at its core. Hot off the press, Mexican producer Rubinskee drops his vinyl debut with a super-deep cut named "Talk." Tripping after-hours vibes and an inventive mixture of tight drums, vocal manipulations and jazzy melodies combine with surprising results.

Catalog #: LIEBE 042EP
Matthias Meyer is back with another EP on Liebe Detail. Well known for his silky-smooth arrangements and emotional, building tracks, Meyer offers us a dreamy, enchanted synth 'n' strings package on this EP. The title-track combines Meyer's trademark production values with an ecstatic, hands-in-the-air disco vibe. Patlac turns in a delightful remix, concentrating on a more reduced palette of sounds. "Phoenix" winds together submerged, stretched-out strings and hypnotic, padded synths in a snaking journey perfect for the early morning.
