For 'Verse 2' expect deeply burnished and heavyweight house from Hunee's 'Took My Love' to The Lost Men (aka label head Alex Dallas with Bernd Kunz) on 'More Of That', Soultourist's well-toned dancer 'Fo-Eva', John Daly's excellent highlight 'Lonely Beat', and more from Quarion, Cavalier, Langenberg, Azuni and Crowdpleaser.

12. Cortney Tidwell - Watusii (Daphni Remix)
13. Ame - Setsa
14. Tokyo Black Star - Sepiaphone

DJ Dixon’s “Temporary Secretary” is his first “official” mix tape, since he put “Body Language Vol. 4” (Get Physical) together and portrayed all the different aspects during the course of a night and its particular dramaturgy in great detail. This selection is a conscious snapshot. Neither obliged to be a strict club set that has to work for any given dance floor or act as an addendum to “Body Language” nor designed to follow a certain concept like Henrik Schwarz / Âme / Dixon’s “Grandfather Paradox” (BBE) did within the annals of minimal music, “Temporary Secretary” is the third gender.

Shackleton - Three EPs

Label: Perlon
Catalog#: PERL 76
Format: 3 x Vinyl, 12", Album
Country: Germany
Released: October 2009
Genre: Electronic
Style: Abstract, Dubstep

Tracklist:
01. (No More) Negative Thoughts
02. Let Go
03. It's Time For Love
04. Mountains Of Ashes
05. There's A Slow Train Coming
06. Moon Over Joseph's Burial
07. Asha In The Tabernacle
08. Trembling Leaf
09. Something Has Got To Give

Since his relocation to Berlin a couple of years back we've witnessed a marked shift in tempos and style from his more dubstep compatible productions on Skull Disco towards a tempered blend of that city's house and techno modes sharing a common theme of dubwise rhythmic experimentation. Now a resident of the Perlon camp, home to the unique productions of Ricardo Villalobos, Stefan Goldman and Soulphiction among others, he's created a set of rhythms that reinforce his status as one of the most interesting producers - dancefloor or otherwise - in operation right now. All the familiar hallmarks of his style are present, from the often claustrophobically tactile bass weight, to industrial tainted atmospheres and intricate percussive programming, forming loose patterns peculiarly at odds with the metronomic heritage of Berlin but fully in tune with the physical urge that drives so much of it's music.
