"Weah! (pronounced: 'oo eh!') -- manifestation of joy, exuberance or surprise (in a very positive way). To be happy or in a state of uncontrollable euphoria. The official Sonic cheer. Soniculture is based in Lisbon and has been created by Expander. It kicks off with two mind blowing tracks from Misc. And Kalkito & Expander. Both of them fit perfectly into soniculture's goal: to deliver cutting edge electronic dance music. Tracklist: Kalkito & Expander -- 'Heinzens Weinsenz Shweinzens'! What does it mean? Well, try holding up your glasses of champagne (or with very good red wine) and just scream it out in unison. It works every time! Paul Kalkbrenner & Expander produced this one. It is an uplifting techno track which takes you higher and higher -- ideal for any occasion. Misc. -- 'Le Weekend' -- Christopher Bleckmann & Hannes Wenner, better known as misc. Begin 'Le Weekend' with breakbeat and then evolve to techno in a way that only they know how to do it. A very original composition that will rock every dance floor."

"This time on an underground mission. Soniculture is based in Lisbon and has been created by Expander. Now it's time for two artists from the American continent to teach us a lesson about attitude. This is as underground as it gets. Tracklist: Billy Dalessandro: 'Flashback Attack' straight from Chicago, Billy Dalessandro, takes acid music to the next level, creating high-tech hypnotic sounds over dark basslines. 'Flashback Attack' will strike you with a message from the future. Jake Fairley: 'Peninsular' from Toronto, the now Berlin-based producer Jake Fairley shows us how he can rock the floor with a Blackstrobe induced techno track produced in minimal style, but filled with maximal energy. Again, powerful and dark basslines become the vehicle used to create a message with attitude. Momentum is then reached by combining these basslines with analog madness."

"Dalessandro & Expander -- '6 A.M. Overload.' It was during a long summer night, that Billy Dalessandro and Expander produced this one, thinking about how the sun rises in Chicago and in Lisbon. A hypnotic acid loop leads us into a passionate anthem that makes you want to reach the sky. It was at exactly 6 A.M. that both of them were able to shout WEAH!...our job is done...please let the sun come up. Midimiliz -- 'Bitpresse.' Arne Schauffhausen and Wayan Raabe are the very hot Extrawelt, who, in this case, disguise themselves as Midimiliz to deliver us a pumping and uplifting techno track, filled with their ever evolving basslines and analog synths, ideal for your open air nights of true madness. A great job performed by two of the most requested producers of today's techno scene, always giving us new ideas on how to create great music."

"Soniculture presents you some new fresh ideas and also a new artist. For all you dear collectors, this is the last release of the CMYK series. After Magenta, Cyan and Yellow, now comes Black. Stay tuned for the next series with new and original ideas! Tracklist: Jake Fairley - 'Sardines' (7'29''). Once upon a time in the underground, both Mr. Jake Fairley and Mr. Fairmont sat down during a bright and shiny day and ordered sardines and a bottle of vinho verde. They congratulated each other regarding their work and then spoke about making a track together and how great it would be to blend the strength of one with the melancholy of the other. It was right after the shots of firewater that they finally reached an agreement. Here is the result. Thinkfreak - 'Human Error' (8'41'') Soniculture proudly presents a new artist. Debut, from Portugal, Thinkfreak knows exactly what to do to make the dance floors burn with excitement. Groovy, minimal, uplifting, with a touch of electro and even Detroit, Human Error is destined to become one of the big hits of the fall."

"Expander & Thinkfreak -- 'Trackum' (9'22'') Get ready for a rush with a very exciting track that this dynamic duo from Portugal has prepared for us. Melancholy rapidly evolves towards an uplifting cascade of feelings that explode into many stars under a constellation of techno. Driven over an ever-evolving bassline, 'Trackum' is a blessing for all fans of emotional experiences and complex melodic outbursts. Suitable for your peak time madness. Ilar & Hedvall -- 'Rush Hour Rumble' (9'24'') From Sweden, Anders Ilar and Fredrik Hedvall give us a treat for our minds with a track that begins quietly but transforms itself into an assortment of elaborated and neatly tailored sounds. We are immediately taken to the rush hour moments of a far and distant planet inhabited by beings that are powered by music and than soothed by an involving melody towards the end. Very ethereal and extremely well produced, suitable for all dance floors in the galaxy."

"Soniculture presents a release that will rock festivals, clubs and beach parties. An all in one solution for high temperature action. Billy Dalessandro is back with another floorburner, charged with electricity coming from his own modern way of Chicago techno. Landberg & Jacobson, also known as Bentobox, have their first release on Soniculture, and keep the energy levels high with a Detroit influenced track from Scandinavia. Billy Dalessandro -- 'Backjack.' With this superb track, Billy Dalessandro shows us how we can enjoy our dancefloor experiences to the maximum. Groovy, jackin' and uplifting, 'Backjack' will put wide smiles across our faces while we party all night (or day) long. Along the way, we may even learn how to bump in the back, Chicago style. Landberg & Jacobson -- 'Admit.' From Stockholm, Landberg & Jacobson bring out the coolness in techno with a track powered by sophisticated basslines and extremely well programmed drum sequences. Detroit-influenced techno moves now to the next level with this outstanding team of producers that are also known as Bentobox. A great debut on Soniculture and a promise of more to come in the near future."

"Soniculture enters the next season with renovated artwork, concept and new musical ideas. We proudly present the debut of Chordian, the new Swedish duo formed by Elias Landberg and Johan Fotmeijer, and -- surprise, surprise -- a remix from Paul Kalkbrenner! A1: 'Closed Eyes.' This is Detroit techno at its best with the right set of synths, bass lines and drum sequences, programmed to provide intense emotional experiences. Perfect for soulful environments. B1: 'Closed Eyes,' (Paul Kalkbrenner Remix). The master of Berlin techno is back with a breathtaking remix that raises even more the intensity of 'Closed Eyes.' With more 'pump' and fatter bass lines, it will for sure color your dreams with a nice touch of delirium. Paul also adds his own arrangements and melodies, making this version unique in its own way. A2: 'The End is Night.' The dreaming continues with a track moved by very elaborate synth sequences that develop in various forms and shapes, building up towards the peak, where emotions will again be the center core of the whole musical experience."

"Our most special dynamic duo, representing the Chicago-Lisbon connection, lighted the fire, and worked on a new recipe. Mix plenty of groove with sophisticated synth lines, throw in a touch of acid and some extra spices. Pump it all up and we are finally ready for the action. Available soon at a dancefloor near you. A2. Dalessandro & Expander - 'Pump Kin Pie,' Jason Emsley remix. Known for his hot releases on Platzhirsch, Jason Emsley brings his own recipe that he learned, back in the old days, in L.A. The result is a nice homemade blend of techno that includes perfect drumsets, the right touch of acid, and of course, the secret ingredient that makes him so special. B1 - Thinkfreak - 'My Good Bug.' This is the new floor burner from Thinkfreak, who, again, surprises us with a groovy minimal track charged with maximal energy and a synth line that comes in at exactly the right time to provide us with the perfect mood for madness. It's party time!"

"Soniculture presents one of its hottest releases ever. Midimiliz aka Extrawelt are back with 'Subtil,' which is also remixed by the minimal master Marc Houle and Expander & Thinkfreak. A1. Midimiliz aka Extrawelt - 'Subtil.' Midimiliz are unique in what they do, and this is the reason why 'Subtil' is not easy to classify. Techno is there, but you also have warm and organic drum arrangements, straight out from real instruments. The groovy bass line makes it extremely danceable and suitable for any sort of dancefloor. For sure, this is a must-have for the summer season. B1. Midimiliz aka Extrawelt - 'Subtil' (Marc Houle Remix). Marc does not need any introduction as he is the creative genius of masterpieces such as 'Bay of Figs' and 'Restore,' both released on M_nus. His approach to 'Subtil' mixes a bit of EBM with acid, and of course, techno, resulting in a special treat for all minimal lovers around the world and those in general who are open to new and creative ideas. B2. Midimiliz aka Extrawelt - 'Subtil' (Expander & Thinkfreak Remix). The owner of Soniculture and Thinkfreak provide a hypnotic and extremely danceable version of 'Subtil.' Using several elements from the original, this approach raises the energy levels considerably, leading several times to intense moments. Driven by pumping techno and using several overlapped bass lines, this is a prime time rocker. HOT!"

"Here is a fresh track from Swedish duo Landberg & Jacobson, who are this time remixed by Maxime Dangles (Kompakt) and Expander & Thinkfreak (Soniculture). A release that blends several styles, be it techno, electro, house or Detroit, they are all here. A1: Landberg & Jacobson - 'Portabel.' This is one of the most interesting releases by Landberg & Jacobson, who are always capable of showing us a very modern approach to Detroit-influenced music. With a very catchy tune and superb synth programming, it can be played on any kind of dancefloor and should please all electronic music lovers in general. A2: Landberg & Jacobson: 'Portabel (Expander & Thinkfreak remix)'. With serious bass line work, this is the grooviest version of 'Portabel.' Extremely danceable, it breaks with a padded version of the synth line, which later on, comes back to provide a warm set of emotions and sensorial stimulation. Dancing with a smile is perfectly okay. B1: Landberg & Jacobson - 'Portabel (Maxime Dangles Dark Remix).' Maxime Dangles shows us two different versions of 'Portable.' This is the techno version, a dark and strong journey that builds up and generates levels of high energy. The melody is fine-tuned and present during the break, only to lead us once again to Maxime's ultra-fine techno. A definite floor-banger. B2: Landberg & Jacobson -- 'Portabel (Maxime Dangles Bright Remix).' For lovers of electro and neo-trance, here is another version from Maxime, this time with the melody as the central core. It is for sure the catchiest version of 'Portabel,' again with superb programming and well-made arrangements, proving that this French musician is capable of surprising us in several ways. A great composer of modern electronic dance music."
