OUT NOW :: Exclusively at Beatport :: AUDITION AUDIO :: BUY "One of, if not, the BIGGEST tune of the year." [inthemix Magazine] Long-time collaborators and lynchpins of the tech-funk scene, Elite Force & Meat Katie, are back with another top notch single on U&A, and this may well surprise a few people who claim they've fallen out with breakbeat. Their last joint effort, 'Dark & Deep' topped the Beatport charts, and this time they set the lasers to STUN with this head-turning tough-nut breakbeat missile, more reminiscent of primetime Prodigy than anything else, with a jackin' drop to ramp up the tension. Support has been pretty much 100% from breakbeat royalty on this single with Plumps, Stantons, Krafty Kuts, Freestylers etc... all backing it to the hilt. "Great tune. Best bit of breaks i've heard for a long time. 5/5" [Andy Plump DJs] "Strike a light! Some of the best breaks I've heard for a while. Makes me want to smash stuff up. :)" [i-DJ] "Tuuuuuuuuuuune!!!!"

The Loops of Fury - Flick A Switch (Original Mix) [uAA025] OUT NOW :: Exclusively at Beatport DIRECT LINK "This literally just blew the jam off my toast. Magic. 5/5" [i-DJ Magazine] This is massive. No mistake. U&A celebrate their quarter century of releases with what is surely destined to become one of the underground anthems of the summer. The Loops of Fury are a brand new signing to U&A. Two Brisbane boys, previously known as Hyperion, reborn under a new banner, with a mighty sound that perfectly encapsulates their ELECTRO-TECHNO Manifesto. Imagine the Chem's Battle Weapons mashed up with the turbo-charged drive of Marco Bailey or Brodinski capped off with the production skills of a Dyson or a Gartner and you'd be in the right ballpark for their debut single 'Flick A Switch'. DJ & Radio support from Kissy Sellout, DJ Dan, D Ramirez, Meat Katie, Annie Nightingale, JJJ Australia, Plump DJs, Dopamine, Lee Coombs, Christopher Lawrence, Calvertron, Stupid Fresh, Laurent Garnier etc ...

Zodiac Cartel - We Don't Play That (REMIXES) [uAA023R] OUT NOW :: Exclusively on Beatport DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK Hot on the heels of the chart-topping jump-up anthem of the original, General Zod has enlisted a most trusty band of freaky cohorts to re-rub the living heck out of 'We Don't Play That'. In case you haven't yet bagged the original, DO IT NOW! Aniki Mix :: CLICK FOR AUDIO :: BUY "Aniki Playground mix is rockin'!" [DJ Dan (Instereo)] Aniki is hotter than the sun right now. He has embraced the blueprint of WONK and run with it, screaming through the Norweigan Woods, hung like a dubsteppin' donkey and chargin' like a coked up rhino. Er, touchdown!! Mike Hulme Mix :: CLICK FOR AUDIO :: BUY "Can't decide between the Aniki & Mike Hulme remix as favourites." [Hatiras (Hatrax Records)] Mike Hulme is the techno legend you've never heard of. Yet. Having immersed himself in a vat of ACIIIEEEEDDD at birth, he's just now surfaced with eyes poppin' like lysergic catherine wheels and bowling headlong down a deep dark alleyway with the first in a series of CLASSIC techno-driven peaktime business. Pablo Decoder Mix :: CLICK FOR AUDIO :: BUY "The Pablo Decoder Mix is awesome..." [Chris Healings (Hybrid)] Pablo Decoder is the nu-elektro-don. With a series of flawless releases to his name on labels such as Lot49, Big & Dirty, Spirit & Azuli, he's delivered an epic slab of electro-erotica to give the tastiest of new spins to the anthemic original. Think D Ramirez getting down with a bigroom bulldog and you'd be nowhere near. Richard Dinsdale Mix :: CLICK FOR AUDIO :: BUY "Richard Dinsdale mix is sweeeeet!!" [Aston Shuffle (MOS)] Richard Dinsdale is already a legend. Following on from a series of redhot & fancy free tech-house anthems, it's just as well he's not a sufferer from vertigo, given the amount of time he spends looking down on his peers from the heady heights of chart-topping superstardom. Beyonce? B*llocks. Dinsdale? Yes please. U&A are on a ROLL! Grab yer dice & be a part of the clan, man.

Zodiac Cartel - We Don't Play That [uAA023] OUT NOW :: Exclusively on Beatport DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK AUDIO : We Don't Play That : http://soundcloud.com/zodiac-cartel/we-dont-play-that-taster AUDIO : El Maestro : http://soundcloud.com/zodiac-cartel/zodiac...-maestro-taster "Grrrrreat production, throbbing, sizzle, moody mumbles and eerie chords that make you wanna jack off like an old jerry hatrick. Stinks like a Tenaglia Miami moment back in the day, which is a very good thing! A standard to aspire to. Awesome" [soul of Man] "Zodiac Cartel maintain a massive dominance & freshness that is very much lacking within this massive scene" [inTheMix Magazine] "Solid as f*ck house music with a twist. I REALLY like 'We Don't Play That', but then you probably knew I'd fall for that bassline! Big." [Lee Mortimer (Wearhouse)] "This guy is UNREAL! Badass as ever. Slammin' these out fo sure" [stupid Fresh] "Gor Blimey guvnor - Zodiac Cartel is OWNING it at the moment. Will be supporting the face off it!" [Kristian Dando, (iDJ Magazine)] Taking the cooler end of the fidget blueprint and merging it with the techier filth of the likes of Deadmau5 & Dyson, this is a sound with perfect crossover potential, and this could well be the single to propel Zodiac Cartel to the very top of the electronic firmament. With radio support coming in from Radio One, Kiss FM (with interview & ha;f hour mix from the Cartel) & all the major online stations, not to mention scheduled reviews in DJ Mag, iDJ, Mixmag (feature coming soon), M8 and all the major online mags & blogs (such as Australia's huge inthemix - see review attached). 'We Don't Play That' is a jump-up-future-anthem, and in it they take the sound of pilled-up latino scooter gangs doing battle with the MONSTER RAVE MACHINE, emerging bleary-eyed into a napalm dawn under a haze of battle-scarred euphoria. Oh yessir. When the track was initially leaked out on public promo site, Soundcloud.com, it quickly became the hottest track of any genre, racking up close to 2,000 plays in a matter of days and deposing Royksopp's new single from the top spot. As if this were not enough, they then hit the desert road on their bombed out scooters and head DUE SOUTH to the South American Peyote plains, where they fully immerse themselves in the joys of San Pedro, a legendary hallucinogen prescribed by the shamanic legend 'El Maestro'. Massive priority for us at the label & I'm sure you'll agree, worth of full support! s

Dustbowl - EP#02 [uAA022] OUT NOW :: Exclusively on Beatport DIRECT LINK "The last Dustbowl EP has been an ever-present at the front of my CD wallet since I got it last year, and this more unabashed quality which will probably do just the same! Selecting a pick of the bunch, but I think St Petersburg edges it - but only just. Peerless." [i-DJ Magazine] Dustbowl may well be a new name to many of you, but for those clued up enough to have 'discovered' their first EP which appeared on Lot49 at the beginning of the year [ http://bit.ly/IJFAP ], you will no doubt be eagerly awaiting the release of their second. Rather than ramble on, with the likes of Sasha, Stephan Bodzin, Timo Maas, Jon Acquavia, Fergie, Will Bailey & James Zabiela backing this EP, I will let the music & the DJ testimonials do the talking! AUDIO SNIPPETS Listen to : Tipton Listen to : St. Petersburg Listen to : Ain't No Grave SELECT DJ REACTIONS "Very good EP all round - thanks!"

Rektchordz - Feed Your Head [uAA020] OUT NOW :: Exclusively on Beatport DIRECT LINK "I just wanted to let you know that I've been playing the Elite Force 'Feed Your Head' rmx everywhere. It's massive!!!!! Definitely one the tunes of the night everytime. LOVE IT." [James Zabiela (Everywhere)] Rektchordz will be a new name for some, but for those in the know, Jamie Smithson is one of a select bunch of emerging young stars from the tech-funk firmament. With several top notch releases & remixes under his belt for the likes of Play, Mofo, Epidemic & Bombtraxx, it was only a matter of time before his classic techy breaks-orientated stylings found their way onto Elite Force's U&A imprint. The original mix of 'Feed Your Head' is a slice of classic genre-bending electronic music, already finding favour with top house & breaks heads in equal measure. Remixes from U&A's label boss have been few & far between of late, despite a catalogue of classic reworkings that include the likes of Crystal Method, Grandmaster Flash, UNKLE & Stereo MCs, but Elite Force was so smitten by the original that he remixed it himself into a furious, techno-orientated breakbeat anthem. Last but by no means least we hand over the remix reins to none other than Lee Mortimer, one of the brightest & most sought-after producers from the nu-skool-of-wonky-house music. The Wearhouse Records boss turns in one of his finest works to date with this twisted, jackin’ take on the original’s slow-burning grooves. AUDIO SNIPPETS Listen to : Feed Your Head (Original Mix) Listen to : Feed Your Head (Elite Force Mix) Listen to : Feed Your Head (Lee Mortimer Mix) "The Original is definitely for me" [Laurent Garnier] "Two absolute corkers here! Will be playing both, my crowds will LOVE them!!" [Dopamine (InStereo, Title Fight)] "The EF remix absolutely smashed it on friday " [Meat Katie (Lot49)] "Rektchordz delivers a headthrobblingly magnificent debut on U&A,. Complimented perfectly by the two kings of their respective genre's, Elite Force & Lee Mortimer." [inTheMix Magazine] "EF remix is wicked" [soul of Man (Finger Lickin')] "Lee's mix is Very grooooooooooooooooooooovy!! Love it :)" [Mikah Freeman (The Aston Shuffle)] "Very nice mix - reminds me a bit of JuJu!" [Rennie Pilgrem (TCR, iDJ)] "Lee always delivers the goods. Will be supporting this for sure." [The Bulgarian] "Great start to the new year! both mixes are great" [General MIDI (Distinctive)] "Lee is still on fire I see!! Quality stuff." [Danny Carro (Hijack)] "The original is sweeeeeet" [Dom Kane (Xeton Records)] "I dont expect anything less from Lee - great remix!" [Chris Santiago (Santiago & Bushido)] "Lovin' the original - full support!." [Habersham (Lobotomy Records)] "boom shank!!! 5/5" [Will Bailey (Bass Weasel, Rudi Stakker, Twocker)] "I'll be banging the EF remix out for sure." [Vandal (Lot49)] "Badass as ever from the Mortimer.

Elite Force - The Early Years (Remixes) (Re:Vision 009) [uAA018] OUT NOW :: Exclusively on Beatport DIRECT LINK The end is nigh for the Re:Vision series, and it's been a pleasure to showcase a whole bunch of classy talent this year, from Miles Dyson to Bearweasel & from Riva Starr to Broombeck, there's been something for everyone in these packages. On this final installment, we feature mixes from a myriad of up & coming talent. First up are Heavy Feet who have broken through in the the big-league fidgsters this year with some high performing remixes. Favouring a twisted, roughneck approach to the world of JACK, these guys will knock you sideways with their bumping re-work of 8-year old classic 'Here Come The Flow'. We then serve up a driving technoid missive from Northern newcomers Autophase, who have already set numerous DJ charts & dancefloor alight this year with their serious, heads down, bubbling techno. Here they stare down the 6-year old epic, 'Krushyn 4', the original of which was licensed by James Zabiela & played by DJs all over the world. Next up is Gella who ventures down the kind of dark alleys favoured by recent Bassbin Twins works, and he nails 'Here Come the Flow' perfectly with a snaking, imaginative breakbeat re-take, the kind of which the scene has been crying out for. Last but by no means least we also serve up a raucous, techy remake of 'Reclaim the Airwaves' from the twisted mind of 'Core Overload', whose recent output has found favour with the likes of Marine Parade amongst others, and you can see why with this pHat, chunky and compulsive mix. AUDIO SNIPPETS Listen to : Here Come The Flow (Heavy Feet Mix) Listen to : Here Come The Flow (Gella Mix) Listen to : Krushyn : 4 (Autophase Mix) Listen to : Reclaim The Airwaves (Core Overload Mix) "Krushyn is whoresome will play to death!"

[Tom Real (Disco of Doom)] "The Autophase remix is the pick for me here, wicked stuff!" [Kid Blue (Lot 49)] "As always, this is working fantastically. Loving the nostalgia and the nu-skool takes on the classics. Both deep, wonk-tastic thumpers!" [inTheMix Magazine] "Krushyn:4 remix is quality" [Dopamine (InStereo/Title Fight)] "Gella.

Slammin' stuff from the Autophase lads." [Mike Hulme (Introspective)] "Yeah both Gella & Core Overload are really nice, top marks, on a personal note i've really enjoyed this series!" [Cut La Roc (Skint / Rocstar)] "Core Overload's agressive take hits the spot! Always love hearing reworked EF Classics." [scott Kirkland (Crystal Method)] "Loving the Gella Mix! Bravo!!" [Dave Jenkins (Editor, i-DJ Magazine)] "Love the Gella mix, sounds like early garage, i love that swing, rollin groove, wikid stuff, will definately play this out. Core Overload mix is a banegr aswell, can't decide between the 2. Top stuff mate" [Rob Savage (Breakin' Even)] "Kickin' new remixes of some of my old faves right here! Core Overload mix is like a techier Bodysnatchers, while the Gella mix of Here Come The Flow takes things steppier and with added swing, giving it an awesome groove!" [Neil (High Eight)] Many thanks for your support on this, the FINAL in the epic Re:Vision series!, sHack

Tom Real & Black Russian step up to the plate first, and deliver a bowel-bothering ripper of a mix, which slams with a FURY. Peaktime would be to understate the impact of this mix, and a number of crowds at Elite Force shows have been pushed over the edge in the past couple of months with this as their soundtrack. Next up, Zimbardo & Zigmund Slezak get locked & loaded and take us for a glitch-strewn adventure with a hard-edged jackin’ groove that punishes & pleasures in equal measures! Jesse Rose’s mixes originally came out on Adrift Recordings shortly before their sad demise, but despite the passing of several years since their first, brief appearance, they sound as fresh, vital and exciting as ever before, and we’re as excited as we were back in the day to be presenting them to you once more.

Elite force - Jack The Joint [uAA014] With Remixes from Zodiac Cartel, Deepgroove & Introspective. OUT NOW :: Exclusively on Beatport "Loving this new bumpy weird fairground ride smith & hack stylee" Sasha "Elite Force’s eclectic, but always pounding, U&A Recordings lets fly another belting remix package with the allusive Zodiac Cartel once again turning up and running away with the show. His mix of ‘Jack the Joint’ is one hell of a filthy, groovin’ monster, which is how stomping, head down and ankle deep in mud would sound if it were a noise instead of a scenario…hmm... Ok, also Deepgroove turn in another nice version which is a little less sludgy, but pleasing all the same, and we also have a cut from Introspective who sit somewhere in the middle, with their pulsating big bassline interpretation." K1 [iDJ Magazine] ***** Recommended AUDIO SNIPPETS Elite Force - Jack The Joint (Zodiac Cartel's Bumpin' Mix) Elite Force - Jack The Joint (Zodiac Cartel's Flowin' Mix) [EXCLUSIVE to BEATPORT] Elite Force - Jack The Joint (Deepgroove Mix) Elite Force - Jack The Joint (Introspective' Mix) Elite Force - Jack The Joint (Original Mix) THE LOWDOWN After a brief, summer breather, the U&A Empire strikes back, light-sabres at the ready, with the next in their series of untouchable re-works of classics from the Elite Force vaults. Under the remixers' scalpels this time, is ‘Jack The Joint’, the bumping acid-house driven epic that originally appeared on the Kingsize imprint back in 2003. Whilst the original still oozes a timeless charm thanks to the ubiquitous, bubbling 303s and euphoric strings, the re-workings take us into fresh, uncharted territory, stretching the original into fresh & fascinating forms. First up is self-confessed ‘House head with a Techno soul’, Zodiac Cartel, who has been in great demand from the likes of Instereo, Cubism, Coco Machete, Wearhouse & TCR of late, following on from his massive reworking of Elite Force’s ‘Used & Abused’ from late last year. His reworkings of Jack the Joiny, both take different courses, with the Bumpin’ Mix crafting an epic, fidget-orientated journey through the world of the JACK (this mix has already appeared on Meat Katie’s recent ‘Sessions’ mix album), whilst the Flowin’ Mix will appeal to those looking for a smoother form of filth, pulsing as it does right to the wire (this one is to be exclusively available from Beatport). Next up are Deepgroove who need no introduction, having been the darlings of the new-school-of-house-music for a number of years now with releases on Jesse Rose’s Made to Play, Alter Ego’s Klang Elektronik and Darren Emerson’s Underwater imprints. They take the original twist the Jack into new late-night forms with their heads-down take on a deeper groove. Last but not least, Tech-Funker uber-kid and Ministry of Sound / Sinister darling Introspective, comes correct with what is surely his most engaging and complete work yet. In a huge big-room electro-house mix he conjours up an epic remix with grinding basslines and huge, emotive breakdowns that is sure to get jaws dropping & floors burning. DJ VERDICTS "Loving this new bumpy weird fairground ride smith & hack stylee" Sasha "Possibly the best release yet ... and thats saying something!"

Hyperion - Gotta Hold It [uAA013] With Remixes from Calvertron, and Lee Coombs. OUT NOW :: Exclusively on Beatport AUDIO SNIPPETS Hyperion - Gotta Hold It (Original Mix) Hyperion - Gotta Hold It (Lee Coombs Mix) Hyperion - Gotta Hold It (Calvertron Mix) THE LOWDOWN Since their debut on U&A Recordings sixth release, Brisbane-based beatsmiths Hyperion have won fans aplenty amongst the big-playaz, and now they return with arguably their strongest work in “Gotta Hold It”. Complete with remixes from Lee Coombs and Calvetron, this is an impeccable package. With cracking reviews in DJ & iDJ and airplay across the board on some of the world's largest radio shows, this single is a must for anyone with a taste for the techy ... from the pounding electronic verve of the original, to the nu-fidget flavour of Lee Coombs's ravey-but-organic remix and to Calvertron's Dubfire/Popof-styled techno throwdown, there's something here for anyone who wants a taste of the future. BONUS MIXSET As a special bonus from the boys, here is an exclusive one-hour MIXSET for your listening pleasure, and you can find the full tracklisting at the Tech-Funk Manifesto. DJ VERDICTS "It's hard to believe how much this duo from Brisbane have exploded into our minds this year - their debut 'Expressway' single has been one of the highlights of my sets for some time. This wicked package features an original that oozes class with its sonic quiggles, bass throbs, and almost techno-esque leading bleeps. Lee Coombs takes it into nu-fidget territory with his genre-hopping-yet- organic slammer, and Calvertron's techno re-work is equally punishing and satisfying" Meat Katie (Guest Reviews in DJ Magazine) "Bloody hell, this release isn't messing is it?! The original is just fantastic and I really like the Calvertron remix. Top stuff, will indeed be playing.": Mike Truman (Hybrid) "Yeah this is a wicked package, all mixes are strong - forced to choose, I would go for the Calvertron mix i reckon" Rogue Element (Exceptional) "Love the Hyp's new tune ... rockin' - gonna blast it in the States.
