Artist:	AURAL DISTORTION
Title:	Plasma
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 013EP

"This is the third Aural Distortion single for Tsuba following 'Fragmented' and 'Overlap' last year. The original mix is perfect for summer with a real Balaeric feel giving a firm nod to the lush electronic house of M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade. The fabulously named Peter Dildo, aka Andre Rozzo, goes deep and tracky on the remix. It's all about the groove, which is so tight and hypnotic, you'll want to play it forever! A real heads-down affair already a classic at Fabric in London and the Panorama Bar in Berlin. Support on this release from Tobi Neumann, Sebo K, Laurent Garnier, Ripperton, Shinedoe, D' Julz, Clive Henry, Rob Mello, Ralph Lawson, Jeff Samuel, Prins Thomas, Sander Kleinenberg, Sasse, Mike Monday, Misstress De Funk (Radio One)."

Artist:	DAVID K
Title:	Three Arches EP Part 2
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 014EP

"Huge Samim remix! Support from Claude Von Stroke, Tiefschwarz, Ricardo Villalobos, Laurent Garnier, Steve Lawler, Radio Slave, Sebo K, Simon Baker, Ripperton, Misstress De Funk (Radio 1), Kiki, X-Press 2, Cari Lekebusch, Guy Gerber. This is the second part of the Three Arches EP from Freak n' Chic and Cocoon star, David K. The deep and dub mixes were made with the afterparty in mind and center around a low-slung bass line, hypnotic grooves and a tripped-out melody. In David's words 'This is one my favorite productions this year fusing the best elements of deep house and techno -- I love to play these tracks.' Samim ups the ante and delivers a killer club mix, adding a heavier bottom end and old skool riff while maintaining the dubby vibe of the original. One of his best mixes yet!"

Artist:	GRIFFITHS, KEVIN
Title:	Jaguar Shoes
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 015EP

"Huge with 2000 And One, Oxia, Shinedoe, Audiofly, Raudive, Gregor Thresher, 3 Channels, Claude Von Stroke, Laurent Garnier, Tyler Stadius, Adultnapper. Tsuba label boss steps out front with a track up his sleeve and, naturally, its pretty damn good. 'Jaguar Shoes' is a sparse, tripped-out bleepy ride made for late night shindigs -- Panorama bar style -- complete with stripped-back pads and panning electronics and a house groove that's part Guido Schneider, part Argy. Respect. The Ripperton mix has been described as his best-ever with shades of deep house and techno, building towards the melancholy mandolin string riff of the original."

Artist:	GEDDES
Title:	Trial & Error
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 016EP

"Tsuba is proud to present the debut single from Geddes, one third of Rekleiner alongside Audiofly and the man behind London and Ibiza's infamous Mulletover parties. 'Trial' and 'Error' show two distinct sides to Geddes' musical personality -- 'Trial' is atmospheric deep house with a lighter vibe and 'Error' is darker, moodier tech house with shades of Konrad Black. Dynamic and Kindisch Records rising star H.O.S.H has delivered a super hot remix. It's deep, hypnotic and spacey house underpinned with that all-important jackin' bassline. As a DJ, Geddes now holds international prominence with appearances in 2007 at Berlin's Panorama Bar and Watergate, D!Club in Lausanne and the Loft in Barcelona. Past performances have brought him success with large crowds as well as in modest spaces."

Artist:	HACKER & ERIC BORGO, THE
Title:	Zone
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 017EP

"What better way to start 2008 than with the huge 'Zone' by The Hacker & Eric Borgo, already licensed to Jennifer Cardini's new Kompakt compilation. The Hacker needs no introduction -- a true pioneer with album releases on his own Goodlife label (with his friends Oxia and Alex Reynaud) and with Miss Kitten on DJ Hell's Gigolo imprint. In 2001 at the dawn of electroclash, they were booked all over the world with Miss Kittin appearing as a dominant nurse and The Hacker cold as ice behind the machines and decks. In 2007, Michel describes his style as 'classic Detroit-style with Jeff Mills in mind.' Long term friend and Tsuba artist Eric Borgo teams up with Michel on the moody techno of 'Zone.' For the remix, it's a great coup to have the first mix from Ivan Smagghe & Tim Paris' new project 'Its A Fine Line.' The result, as you would expect, is a club mix that's typical Smagghe -- brooding, moody electro with a super-tight groove and eerie synths. It's a big one!"

Artist:	LAWLER, STEVE
Title:	Sleepwalking Remixes Part 1
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 018A-EP

"Steve Lawler is a definitive DJ and producer, renowned as one of the world's premier and most respected talents. From his legendary residencies We Love and VIVA at Space in Ibiza to Viva Harlem Nights at The End in London, and his Lights Out and VIVA tours of North America, Lawler is one of the most powerful touring names in electronic music. He hasn't had over 500,000 plays for his music on Myspace for nothing! Steve Lawler was once hailed the pioneer of twisted house, but his sound has evolved through the years although the main elements still remain, meandering through deep, dark, sexy house tracks. 'Sleepwalking' marks his debut single for Tsuba, following the hugely successful 'Courses For Horses' on Renaissance. Part 1 -- The first 12" serves up the killer remixes for the Tsuba faithful. Will Saul & Tam Cooper's mix is deep, sexy & driving house music and one of their best mixes to date. Following his own Jaguar Shoes single label boss Kevin Griffiths steps up with a deeper, tripped-out mix with a killer groove for the afterhours."

Artist:	EEPROM, DANTON
Title:	To The Bone
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 019EP

"Danton Eeprom made his Tsuba debut last year with One Thing Leads To Another and has since released records on Freak n' Chic and his own Fondation imprint. The follow up for Tsuba, To The Bone has already been included on the Steve Lawler Viva London album and has Danton's trademark dark funk throughout. The vocal is what really makes this and Danton stand out from the crowd. This man is going to be huge! For the remix, Jamie Jones delivers a stunner, adding his trademark trippy and hypnotic touches to the original. With Danton and Jamie on the same 12", it's another big Tsuba release."

Artist:	DAKOTTA
Title:	I Need Help EP
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 020EP

"Dakotta's Tishmongo label has released music from some of the world's finest talent including Guy Gerber and David K. In 2008 he's making a name as a budding producer with releases lined up for Francois K's Wave records and the UK's mighty Tsuba. 'I Need Help' is a psychedelic house trip that would equally be at home in the sets of Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos or Giles Peterson and DJ Koze. 'On A Roll' is atmospheric house that is the perfect warm up track. Following the success of his Steve Lawler remix (still hot with Loco Dice, Konrad Black, Martin Landsky, Steve Bug & John Digweed) label boss Kevin Griffiths steps in with a deep, tribal tinged percussive interpretation of 'I Need Help.'"

Artist:	PEACE DIVISION
Title:	Presents The Lab
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 021EP

"2007 saw Peace Division turn in a superb and heavily supported 12" for Crosstown Rebels as well as impeccable remixes for Audio Soul Project and Kerri Chandler. 2008 sees them kick off a brand new project for Tsuba: Peace Division Presents The Lab. Devised as an outlet for deeper, sample based experiments within house music, The Lab's first creation is a 5-track EP for the highly regarded London based imprint. As you'd expect, the undeniable Peace Division groove which has made PD one of the most respected duos in house music is in full force throughout this EP. The beat-perfect arrangements that Drake and Henry are known for are here too but there's an increased warmth throughout with the use of sparse chords, subtly used samples and gentle layering of sounds. From the heavy John Ciafone-esque vibes of 'Theory' and 'We Want You' to the smooth liquidity of 'Get Over It' via the futurist updates of the traditional house template of 'Basik' of 'In My Mind' this EP is Peace Division at their very best. With well over ten years experience at the top of their game as DJs and producers it's no surprise that Clive Henry and Justin Drake have a constant stream of support in all they do."

Artist:	BORGO, ERIC
Title:	Mopti
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 022EP

"Eric Borgo is no stranger to Tsuba, having released one of the biggest tracks on the label, 'Another Man,' alongside fellow Frenchman, Oxia. Mopti is clearly influenced by the sound of Basic Channel and is an excursion into deep dub house with a classic feel. Oxia was executive producer on this project. For the remix, Pier Bucci teams up with Matthew Styles for a deep Latin-tinged mix complete with soaring strings and club-heavy groove. Bonus track '1900' with Yannick Baudino is a more energetic affair, with crisp percussion and throbbing bass-line."

Artist:	DYED SOUNDOROM
Title:	Tapioka
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 025EP

"Dyed Soundorom is a breakthrough artist, following his debut releases for Freak n' Chic Questions and Remote Cocktail. The combination of killer deep & dubby house grooves and hypnotic melody and rhythm is an intoxicating one, making Dyed's productions stand out from the pack. For DJs, these tracks work early, peak-time or late and have a real timeless feel. The likes of Tiefschwarz, Claude Von Stroke, Damian Lazarus, Anja Schneider, Sebo K, Shonky and whole host of other DJs agree. For the remix, Agnes delivers a deep house gem with a distinct Chicago house vibe. An essential Tsuba release!"

Artist:	PEACE DIVISION
Title:	Junkyard Funk Reconstructions (Part 1)
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 026EP

"Junkyard Funk was one of the seminal house albums to come out of the UK in 2000. Masters of the deep groove Clive Henry, also resident at DC10, and Justin Drake are one of the most respected duos in house music with over 10 years experience in the business. Whilst many contemporaries have fallen by the wayside, Peace Division have remained at the forefront of underground house. Following 2007's seminal Soft Heavy EP for Crosstown Rebels, 2008 has seen them release a second Coast 2 Coast compilation for NRK and the critically acclaimed The Lab EP on Tsuba. Part 1 of Junkyard Funk Reconstructions sees Jamie Jones and Rozzo update the classics. Jamie Jones has always been heavily inspired and influenced by Peace Division so when the opportunity arose to remix the seminal 'BU4T,' he was more than a little excited. The result is his biggest remix to date. Rozzo, aka Peter Dildo and also one half of Mountain People alongside Serafin, delivers a truly awesome interpretation of 'Gotta Have You' that's sure to be one of the biggest tracks this winter. Just wait for the stabs in the break."
