Liner Notes: SINGLE OF THE WEEK - DMC Update CASINO - GOOD TIMES "Casino just keep on delivering the goods. Their unique brand of contemporary northern soul has got an authentic flavour, but manages to deliver the punch of today’s recording techniques. “Good Times” is their third single and it keeps up with the pace and quality of “Floorshaker” and “Running On Back To You” with no worries whatsoever, as soulful vocals work their magic over stomping beats, swelling brass and irresistible key riffs. Well sprung dancefloors are taking a hammering." 5 stars "Imagine if northern soul had a heavy house kick. 'Good Times' is the sort of feel-good stomper that will have asses shaking and hands raising for the heavens. If you're after an unashamed feel-good summer record, this could well be it." International DJ Magazine

Liner Notes: "Hot Chip meets T-Rex" - 5 stars International DJ Magazine (iDJ) "Modern Touch" is taken from the highly acclaimed debut album from IDC called "Overthrow The Boss Class" which has been dubbed "2008's We Are The Night" in iDJ's 5star "Recommended Album" review. "If you don't already know his material, I strongly suggest you start now..." iDJ 5 stars 'Recommended Album' "A sense of delirious enjoyment that gives it an instantly accessible appeal - don't be surprised if the festival crowd soon fall at IDC's feet" DJ Mag 7/10

Liner Notes: Release Description: United Sounds of Europe - Colssus Release December 25th 2008 - Corsair Records cat CR019 Yes, released on Christmas day for those family-bored Beatporters and iTunes gift token kids alike! "Colossus" is the second single from Angel Tripiudo's 'United Sounds of Europe', featuring two mixes of the track by the man himself. Getting some fantastic early DJ feedback citing the likes of Boy 8 Bit through to Deadmau5... USofE's double 'A' sider debut on Corsair earlier this year was decsrcibed as "not a million miles away from 'Higher State Of Consciousness' getting fed through Mr. Oizo's beef grinder, and a brilliant racket all round" and "hypnotic, melodic electro-tech stripped down to just its pants and socks. Very Berlin, but playful with it" in iDJ. Mixmag reckoned "US of E go for the jugular with a slate of KLF-esque rave madness that'll have the kids stomping".

Liner Notes: Casino 'That 's The Way The World Is Today' Debut album out on Corsair Records March 30th 2009 "After releasing a string of excellent Northern Soul influenced singles, “Running On Back To You”, “Floorshaker” and “Good Times”, it was pretty obvious Casino were on a roll. So, on to the eagerly awaited debut LP “That’s The Way The World Is Today”, which features all three singles and then some. “Really Really Love You” has got the soulful gospel tinged vocals, but this time they are worked over big funky breaks and hooky keyboard stabs. Fatboy Slim better watch his back. “Penthouse Affair” is another 4/4 stomper with soul smoothie vocals and soaring strings, and “Whatcha Gonna Do” takes the spring loaded dancefloor to another level, with horns to die for. Casino have taken the soulful elements of the 1960’s & 1970’s and revamped them, “That’s The way The World Is Today” is good time party music with substance and comes over like a breath of fresh air in a clogged up sewer." DMC Update 'Album Of The Week' 5 stars "Casino's nitrous fuelled debut full length album, 'That's The Way The World Is Today', a stompathon aimed straight at dancefloors everywhere. As well as enjoying the entirety of the album as a contemporary slant on classic northern soul melded with more recent forms of dance music. Hints to the sound of Mirwood records, Countdown Here I Come, Bok To Back plus a blistering cut n shunt take on Sam And Kitty's I Got Something Good are detectable, among others on this unmissable album. Guaranteed to have all but the most narrow minded grinning rictus like, 'That's The Way The World Is Today' is unquestionably 2009's first must own at all costs release." Scootering March 2009 Recommended Listening From heavy rotation on MTV Dance to a live radio session for Dermot O'Leary's Radio 2 show heard by one and a half million people; from John Kennedy's 'Single Of The Week' on XFM to Pete Tong's 'Essential Selection'chart on Radio 1; from the dance press to the broadsheets; Casino's appeal seems to be universal. Perhaps this has something to do with the uplifting tunes, or maybe the massively danceable beats, or possibly it's simply that no-one else is doing anything quite the same way as Casino.

Liner Notes: From sweaty nights in UK clubs in 1999 to 150,000 people on a Thai beach in 2009, from the first iPod TV adverts to a pivotal scene in ER, Lo Fidelity Allstars have been the soundtrack for a generation who find the idea of mixed up genres and rocked up beats the norm rather than the exception. The dance/rock pioneers are back with their first new material since 2007's hugely well received 'Best Of' compilation, of which the NME said "it's easy to forget how influential genre- mashing electronic mentalists Lo-Fidelity Allstars actually are - their fingerprints are all over everything by Kasabian to Klaxons, and they are adored by everyone from Rage Against The Machine to the Prodigy". 'Northern Stomp' is their brand new album. It begins with an acerbic anti-hymn to the south coast town they adopted and ends, quite literally, with a firework display. In between the spirits of Al Green, Funkadelic, southern swampland blues, Brian Wilson, northern soul, DFA and even the late great Barry White are conjured up in a spell binding mixture that could only be the sound of the Lo Fidelity Allstars. 1. Northern Stomp 2. I Know I'm A King 3. Your Midnight 4. The Good Times 5. Weather 2 6. Southside Lowdown 7. As Good As Dead 8. On My Mind 9. Smash & Grab World 10. Valentines Boast

Liner Notes: Drive By Constable by Dragunz - Catalogue number CR025 Everybody's talking about dubstep, and the people who know about dubstep are talking about Dragunz' track "Drive By Constable"... Their debut cut is already a crowd-pleaser at huge Dubstep nights in the UK and the release comes complete with a version that swaggers up to you like a 21st Century take on a classic Studio One b side. Keith Richards said that too many people forget the 'roll' and concentrate on the 'rock', but Dragunz most surely put the dub into Dubstep.

Liner Notes: New York City band The Hidden Fees met Leeds ex-pat Lord Warddd on his adopted home turf of Queens whilst he was DJing at his Brooklyn Bowl monthly residency recently. One of the tracks he spun out that night was a version of his next single "The Heartaches", a big room dance beast that will be released in August. The band loved it so much that they went away and learnt the tune. The next month they went along and gave him a CDR containing their own version of the song. Lord Warddd was bowled over by their ingenuity and passed the stunning re-interpretation on to the A&R team at Corsair Records. Equally impressed, the label decided on the unique idea of releasing the cover version as a single on the same day Lord Warddd's original version comes out. You could say that music is in the DNA of the Hidden Fees. The Brooklyn band have an impressive array of close family ties to generations of NYC's best bands, including relations that were members of Blondie, Liquid Liquid, The Van Pelt and the Rapture.

Liner Notes: Coming straight out of Jackson Heights NYC, Lord Warddd's 2010 single 'Hoot'n'Holla' was loved by Mixmag with a 4 star review in the May issue - "This is a messed-up kind of gypsy ghetto funk in a similar vein to, say, Major Lazer's 'Mary Jane'. If Annie Mac's not on it yet I hope she's reading this. Very distinctive." New single "The Heartaches" is going to take things to a whole different level - an uplifting big room belter that looks to make the same kind of club/radio/mainstream crossover as massive tracks like The Shapeshifters' "Lola's Theme". "The Heartaches" will feature on the debut Lord Warddd album "Saturday Night Is Ours", recorded and mixed in New York and due for release later in 2010. Lord Warddd - born out of Leeds, booming out of Brooklyn... Lord Warddd's recent remix releases include a rare 10/10 in International DJ magazine and tracks for MTV Award winners Matt & Kim. "Lord Warddd's remix really does the business. There's a touch of early Beltram to his militant styled beats that drive this from day time bojangles to 3am depravity." 8/10 iDJ May 2010 "The only remix an electro fan needs is the Lord Warddd remix of 'I Know I'm A King'. It's a beautifully sung falsetto number; their label-mate does a peachy job of not going crazy on the synths but complimenting the vocal melody with enough bang on key changes to let this gentle track soar. Really nice." 4 stars Mixmag June 2010 "Ghetto, scratchadelic and totally original" DJ Mag Lord Warddd DJ sets have been described as "Sinden & Hervé on steroids" in Mixmag and"spectacular sonic collisions of acid energy, rock & roll attitude and psychedelic sounds" by DJ Mag. Recent club dates range from Belfast to Bangkok to Budapest to Barcelona, and festivals that have seen him play to 150,000 people on a Thai beach through to a couple of thousand in a Cumbrian field with Dizzee Rascal dancing in the wings throughout. www.myspace.com/djlordward

Liner Notes: 'Money Shot - Electro Single Of The Month' "If this unique 'Baroque-electro' style catches on, USofE could well be 2011's Riva Starr and this his very own 'I Was Drunk'" DJ Mag Mar 2011 Pan-European hedonist Angel Tripudio returns with his third single as United Sounds of Europe on Corsair Records. "The Statute of Anne" sees Angel's musical talents come to the fore, playing some of 'Handel's Variations' (on his own lovingly self-reconstructed harpsichord), laying it over his trademark dancefloor-destroying noises and in the process inventing a whole new genre of 'Baroque Electro'! "The Statute of Anne" takes its name from the world's first Copyright Act from 1709, also known as "An Act for the Encouragement of Learning." It was enacted in 1709 and entered into force on 10 April 1710. It is generally considered to be the first fully-fledged copyright statute. United Sounds of Europe provides the featured artist 'guest top ten electro chart' in the Feb 2011 issue of DJ Mag

Liner Notes: The polyglotic-titled 'Eins Deux Tres' is a summer dance-pop explosion of T-Rex strings, Daft Punk 'One More Time' rhythm stomps, Strokes-like melodies and 10cc harmonies. "IDC is genius and 2011 will be his year" DJ Magazine It's the lead single from IDC's second album 'The Sun Is Always Shining Above The Clouds' which follows later in August and has already been called an "electronic punk-funk opus" by DJ Mag. "Clearly one of electronic music's finest purveyors" iDJ March 2011
