Stacey Pullen, Red Bull Music Academy Stage [ + ] Tommy Four Seven, Underground Stage [ + ] ???, Made In Detroit Stage [ + ] In order of most enjoyed sets, my blood alcohol level being pretty consistent with selections. Obviously these aren't the actual sets from Movement 2013, but the sentiment is the same. Anyway, Stacey Pullen following Audion on the Red Bull stage was heaven; good people and good [...]

[ Ostgut Ton ] On Panorama Bar 05 , Steffi chose to showcase the smoother side of her DJing, a seductive and distinctly low-key journey that hinted at the long night ahead rather than plunging you straight into the action. Of the 16 tracks featured, six were exclusives, and this EP Ostgut showcases three of them. Much like the mix itself, a sense of adroit solidity graces proceedings here: two low-down [...]
As the 13th annual Movement Electronic Music Festival approaches, with a global techno fan base poised to descend upon Detroit, the Dancing Astronaut editors prepare for their own stint of techno tourism. For followers of techno, house, and other deeper genres in dance music, Movement's lineup is quite certainly a dizzying opportunity to take on the finest talent on the scene right now in arguably one of the most culturally significant cities in the music's history. There are five stages in total that'll be bumping the bass in downtown Detroit's Hart Plaza this Saturday May 25th through Memorial Day Monday. We'll [...]

Jeudi, c'est la dernière soirée de l'année pour la résidence Club Nautique de l'I.BOAT Bordeaux. Pour l'occasion, le club des gentlemen en marinière décide de nous réserver une petite surprise en gardant secrètement le nom de l'artiste invité pour l'événement. Le DJ fera ainsi suite au tout Exploited avec Claptone, Adana Twins et Doctor Dru, mais aussi quelques frenchies talenteux avec N'To et Korgbrain. Seuls indices divulgués concernant l'artiste de la soirée : une ligne musicale Deep-House résolument Club et un nom en 6 lettres qui termine par I. Electrocorp et l'I.BOAT [...]

By Michael Cina (cropped) After running through this really dumb and terribly titled Electronic Empresses: 20 Chicks With Decks You Must Know list, I found myself wondering why the hell Steffi wasn't mentioned. List credibility aside, I immediately turned on her Boiler Room Berlin #002 podcast and got into the correct zone. Long story short, what usually happens, happened. I got stuck around the 37 minute marker, which is where Marco Shuttle's "The Vox Attitude" shows its lovely face, and from there [...]

3024 label head Martyn is back with his first substantial release in a year. 'Newspeak' will be a three-track EP and is to be released on Dolly Dubs. 2012 was rather a quiet year for dubstep pioneer. His most recent album 'Ghost People' came out on Brainfeeder in 2011 and not a huge amount was heard from him since then. Well, now he's back with a new EP entitled 'Newspeak' for Dolly Dubs (helmed by Panorama Bar resident Steffi). Due out in late February, there's not a lot more [...]

This Friday’s set selector is a special promo mix from the man behind legendary techno label Desolat - Martin Buttrich . It’s a mix he’s whisked together ahead of his live show at our fave club Fabric this New Years Eve. He’s included some reworks of his own cuts which who knows, he might play live on NYE. 50 minutes of some amazing minimal techno… as he explains: "It’s a little mix with eight tracks – some remixes and own productions. I’ve made a few dub mixes of songs that do [...]

Panorama Bar resident DJ and music producer Steffi is probably known to most of you Deeper Shades of House listeners for her song "Yours". German DVD magazine "Slices" has produced a nice collection of her views about her own integrity, production, the "rockstar DJ" phenomenon and more. Check out the video right below.

One of my favorite ladies in house music just came out with a quite notable and brand new EP off of NeedWant . Kim Ann Foxman's "Return It/ Hypnotic Dance" release has had me bouncing all weekend and I can't wait to give these tracks a try on the dance floor. Foxman headlined our Nightdrive Anniversary party last WMC at Chalk along with DJ T., Pillowtalk, Maxxi Soundsystem, and Danny Daze (she definitely gave the boys a run for their money). Plus she's by far the nicest DJ Nightdrive has ever booked. [...]
La neoyorquina Kim Ann Foxman nos ha maravillado en sus últimas visitas a nuestro país por su impactante habilidad como DJ. El problema es que es tan buena -una de nuestras favoritas, de hecho- que también se nos olvida su capacidad para producir buenas canciones y, por supuesto, cantar en ellas. Eso es lo que hizo justamente en Return It/Hypnotic Dance , su nuevo EP, que consta de estas dos canciones junto a un par de remixes de la primera. Ya está disponible a través del sello Needwant .

The clues lies within the name and make no mistake about it, The Analogue Cops are militant when it comes to their music: it has to be analogue. As DJs they play only vinyl, as producers they strictly use analogue equipment, and when they play live it is the same. Hailing from a small town in the north east of Italy, Lucretio and Marieu met as teenagers, then formed stronger musical bonds after both living in Barcelona. Disillusioned with the easy-fix role that digital platforms were providing in music, they decided to set up their own record label and start [...]

Photo by Sven Marquardt How much do you actually know about Steffi Doms? The basics, no doubt: she's Dutch, lives in Berlin and holds down a residency at Panorama Bar. You most likely know of her superb debut LP, too. Titled Yours & Mine , it scooted into our top 10 Albums of 2011 and many other end-of-year lists around the globe. Perhaps, you've even seen one of Steffi's diverse sets, the stuff of crate-diggers' wet dreams. Like you, I knew all these things before our interview. But what surprised me was how [...]
Ce soir on fait un petit flashback sur l’EP “ Kill Me ” produit par l’incontournable Steffi en collaboration avec Elif Biçer. Fidèle à elle même, la productrice Allemande multi-facettes (DJ, manager du label Klakson et “Party makeuse”) nous propose des sonorités évasives et maladivement envoutantes. Sorti en Février 2010, ce maxi laisse rêveur dans un style cependant moins hivernal et noir que d’habitude. En effet, le morceau semble plus conçu pour un moment d’intense relaxation qu’une nuit de folie dans les tréfonds de la nuit berlinoise… Bref un morceau qui s’immiscera parfaiteme nt dans votre prochaine [...]

Karl Blossfeldt's "Blumernbachia hieronymi Loasaceae" (1932) [ Aus Music ] With key releases for Throne Of Blood and Love Fever, an oft-updated blog dropping breadcrumbs through their house music universe, and a calendar rapidly filling with big DJ gigs, Belfast duo Bicep are rising fast in 2012. And with musical interests as diverse as rave-rinsed house and sleazy disco, Andrew Ferguson and Matthew McBriar [...]
Après leur superbe titre « $tripper » qui concordait avec la toute première sortie du label Love Fever, le duo Nord-irlandais Bicep crée - une fois de plus - la surprise en opérant ici un virage à 180° avec ce « You / Don't EP » sur lequel ils invitent leurs potes Ejeca (alias Serge Santiago, artiste remixeur pour Azari & III) et Omar, moitié du duo Waze & Odyssey . Buy Bicep « You Don't EP » on Beatport (digital) / Juno (vinyl pre-sale) Alors que [...]

So it's Bloc.2012 tomorrow. We're rather excited. Even more so because our lovely friends at mulletover have an absolute treat in store for us on Friday night. Taking center stage of Bloc's alternative millenium dome will be a mulletover showcase consisting of Steffi , Art Department , Jamie Jones and of course mulletover founder and resident, Geddes . We've got a lot of love for mulletover and with a line up like that we can't but help get even more excited about this weekend. [...]

We may have already mentioned that we're off to the Tsuba Warehouse Party tonight to see the likes of Steffi , Huxley and label creator Kevin Griffiths . We're so excited that we thought we'd do a showcase on the label known as 'one of the worlds key players in underground house and techno music'. Tsuba recently came in just behind Crosstown Rebels as the second UK label in Resident Advisor’s all-time top 100 most charted labels list . They certainly have an impressive line-up of artists on their roster including [...]

Steffi's 2011 album 'Yours & Mine' is a big fave here at TK HQ, so we're very excited to be seeing her play at the Tsuba Warehouse Party this weekend. The lovely lady is not only an ace dj and producer but she also runs her own record label Klakson , with Dexter , which is putting out some great stuff. We're loving jamming to the electro sounds of Mr. Cisco and Art Bleek . We've picked a Steffi fave for you below that we're hoping to hear on Saturday. [...]

★★★★☆ A real alchemist who can do whatever she wants, Nina Kraviz is a figure of dance floor fascination, doing her own thing until she’s wrapped you around her finger with her allure of loose techno and deep house. Her music is not abstract or freeform, but it’s not playing entirely by the rules either. Kraviz has a hidden agenda beyond turning the lights down. A stalker’s mumble on "Ghetto Kraviz" stirs the type of curiosity that flavors cosmic disco with a darkly moorish tang, and "Taxi Talk," over the most basic of deep [...]
