First volume featured now established talents like Alex Attias or Rollercone, both now living in London and signed to prestigious labels. During four years the scene has evolved from jazz & funk coloured music (popularised here by Gilles Peterson) to a more electronic, modern & updated approach, supported by many clubs and improvised block parties around the lake, not mentioning the explosion of virtual studios." Featuring: Luciano, Velma (Jan Jelinek remix), Gunga, Lee van Dowski, Plastique de Reve, Le Coeur, Stephane Attias, //DIY, Cassy & Dave the Hustler, MPC, Bauchamp, Katewax, Welcom, St-plomb, Honey for Petzi, AD's.

Reflections of the Dark Heat
Label:
MENTAL GROOVE (SWITZERLAND)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
MG 009CD
"There is no shadow producer/boyfriend lending a hand to her music except on occasion, and that helping hand is bound to get slapped a few times: Kate Wax is in control. A much-impressed Felix da Housecat won't tell you otherwise. Her first self-written and produced album on Mental Groove Records,
Reflections of the Dark Heat
features a rich blend of styles: up and downtempo minimal techno, electro-punk grime, ambient-industrial blues and more, all driven by her unique, warm and seductive vocal delivery. From old-school rapping to whispered lament, Kate Wax reveals a wide spectrum of emotions."

CATANZARO, GABE
Title:
Nothing To Loose
Label:
MENTAL GROOVE (SWITZERLAND)
Format:
12"
Price:
$9.00
Catalog #:
MG 029EP
"A hypnotic (tango-like), effective, elegant, deep and yet percussive fat-free groove for the ladies with subtle chorus added on the top. On B-side, Gabe goes full on vocoder with two little jewels. First 'Robot Love', which starts where 'dadada' by Trio ends, and, to end, a more relaxed melodica groove, 'Still In My Heart', which finds without trouble his place between King Tubby, Black Dog and Alexander Robotnick. A versatile EP for every moment, which has received strong feedback from the usual suspects."

MG 038EP
"Born near Reykjavik in the late 70's, Gustavo Hjindervsson was somewhat destined to become an extraordinary music maker. As his passion with pop or experimental music and jazz grew, he recognized the sound of his generation in early 90's dance music : being too young to have lived the beginning of pop or hip hop, he enjoyed LFO, Juan Atkins, Maurizio, Autechre, GE+GM, Plaid or Plastikman as the soundtrack of his teenage years."

Catalog #:
MG 043LP
"His first appearance on Mental Groove was in 2003 for the CD
Hosomaki:mix volume 2
, a compilation introducing up and coming artists from the Lemanic Riviera. Since then the half Polish-French producer has come a long way, making himself a name by releasing two very successful singles on Luciano's label Cadenza and recently his own label (Num records) with his partner Phil Quenum, whose first release is doing serious damage here and there, and here again, kind of Autechre meeting Robert Hood in 7th Sky. Soma records immediately signed them on their new sublabel for a handful of releases... this mini-LP comes together with a special free album CD of different electronica, not far from the sound of Schematic records."

"Three tracks taken from critically acclaimed Kate Wax debut album on Mental Groove! First time available on vinyl. Morphing into the sexy vamp, the unruly teenager, the melancholic girl-next-door, the club freak and a whole cast of characters you wish were your friends, her lyrics touch upon the subject of women in electronic music in a charismatic and self-affirming way. Goodbye plastic puppets, hello Kate Wax."

MG 068EP
"Mental Groove & Delicious Gutter are proud to present some next-level blitzkrieg heat. Four tracks of intercontinental ballistic beats and sweat-soaked hooks, captained by the new jam-master of the Paris' underground. It's the
Kick'n Run
EP from Don Rimini. After last year's classic
Let Me Back Up
& his current monster remix of Young MC's classic 'Bust A Move' for Delicious Vinyl, both supported by Busy P, Mstrkrft, Crookers, 2 Many DJs, Digitalism, Tiga, DJ Mehdi, Sinden, Brodinski, A-Trak, Aaron Lacrate, Diplo, Fluokids, Count of MontCrystal, Bloody Beetroots, DJ Gorky (Bonde do Role), enter the
Kick'n Run
EP: 'Rave On' chants 'we've come to kick your ass!' with the purposeful brutality of an Ultimate Fighting Championship punch-out and the joyous butt-bumping of a sweaty French discotheque. 'Hools' is a hooligan-thrashin', rave tent trashin' rush fit for both an intimate club crowd and huge summer festivals. 'Nervous Breakdown' is a funky crack-up in audio form. And 'Ohow?' with it front-burner synthesizers and four-on-the-floor beat, is simply undeniable. Frisky Frenchman Don Rimini (aka Xavier Gassemann) has been lighting up the ghetto clubs of Paris since he was a teenager with sweaty-assed DJ sets combining the best of hip-hop, electro, and upstart rock'n'roll, devoted to the union of the best in hip-hop thrills and body-banging club beats. So is Don Rimini's
Kick'n Run
EP."
