Review: "Body Language" by Berlin-based producers M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade is a classic gem of electronic music. Released on their esteemed label Get Physical Music back in 2005, the track's catchy bassline and hypnotic melody create an infectious groove that has captivated dancefloors worldwide since its release and serves as a testament to their enduring legacy in the electronic music scene. As well as a new remaster, here we have two modern reshapes of the track optimised for today's crowd by Dutch veteran Patrice Baume,l and another great re-rub by Diynamic co-head H.O.S.H.

Mandy vs Booka Shade
Review: It's been 12 years since M.A.N.D.Y and Booka Shade broke through with "Body Language", a single that did much to define to Berlin tech-house sound of the period. Here, Madrid-based producer and Infamous Recordings label boss Danniel Selfmade gets a chance to re-build the much-loved Get Physical classic in his own image. There's much to admire about his Infamous version, which wraps the original's bouncy, tactile synthesizer motifs and undulating synth-bass around a proto-house era drum machine rhythm. In some ways, a feels a little like a long lost Metro Area track, which is no bad thing. The accompanying Dub is an altogether chunkier and more tech-tinged proposition, though it does still showcase the original synth parts in between blasts of heads-down groove theory.

Review: Berlin tech house heroes Booka Shade deliver their new EP for John Digweed's Bedrock imprint this November, featuring three electrifying cuts. The Blaufield Music founders Booka Shade have long been respected figures in the contemporary electronic music scene, having racked up a handful of crossover cuts amongst their regular output aimed towards more underground realms - here we see them focusing on the latter. "Rosebud" sees them employ their idiosyncratic style of melodic and emotional groove, while the hypnotic and entracing "Lust 2.1" allows for more introverted moments under the strobelight. Finally, they lunge straight for the jugular on the moody and epic dancefloor drama of "Velvet".

Review: The Berlin-based duo Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier aka Booka Shade return to Bedrock to unveil their second EP for John Digweed's imprint. Following up last year's Rosebud EP., the Get Physical staples and Blauefield Music bosses open this new EP with the moody yet evocative dancefloor drama of "Understanding" complimented by some passionate female vocals. This is followed by the slinky and hypnotising tech house cut "Somus" powered by its ethereal melody and razor sharp bassline. Ending with the powerful peak time cut "Retox" with its adrenalised arpeggio that takes it all the way home.

Booka Shade feat Daudi Matsiko
Played by: Juno Recommends Minimal Tech
Review: Berlin undisputed legends recruit Nottingham based vocalist on "Neon Gods", a sublime serving of pop-inflected tech house for late night superclub dancefloors courtesy of Hot Since '82's Knee Deep In Sound powerhouse. The original version is a dark and sleazy kind of groove for 6 AM hedonism with a rough and gutsy bassline and it's this version which is used for the dub. The "Vocal" mix has that famous Booka Shade bassline over some dark, moody and epic synth work for added suspense. This is one of those dark journey tracks you need for added pre-peak time impact. There's a convenient "Radio" edit too which effectively distils the essence of the track into three minutes.

Review: The latest release on Hot Since 82's label comes from German duo Booka Shade. On this occasion, the pioneers of the 'trance house' sound turn the controls over to the remixers - with excellent results. French producer Olivier Mateu, aka Rodriguez Jr is best known for his releases on Mobilee and follows a similar approach to that work here. A pulsing, hypnotic groove and crisp drums provide the backdrop for a velvety vocal that rises like plumes of smoke over the arrangement. At the other end of the spectrum is the Denneyas ERD remix. More steely and driving, it still features evocative vocal lines like 'I tremble, you falter', but these breathy niceties are aligned to detuned but catchy hooks that recall Booka Shade's own sound.

Review: Wherein Kaiserdisco gets to grips with music from some of house music's biggest names and emerge smiling. The take on Steve Lawler's "Distrait" is classic Kaiserdisco, with heavy bongo drums leading into shaking percussion and later on a dramatic, string-led breakdown. Meanwhile, the take on Dualton's "Face Off" is slightly more understated, with stripped back, minimal rhythms underpinning insistent vocal sampling and an infectious disco filter. But the killer remix here is the re-rub of Booka Shade and label owner Marc Romboy's "Every Day In My Life". Over tribal beats and a huge filter, an unnamed woman sings the catchy refrain "I got something for your mind, your body and your soul /every day of my life". It's the kind of vocal refrain that will seduce even the most hardened purist.

Review: Following releases from 8Kays, Pongo and Moonwalk, electronic music legends and pioneers of the scene Booka Shade return to their Blaufield Music label with a new single! Still full of progression and that undeniable melancholic, uplifting streak of trance that runs through their music; melodies, overtones and underlays converge in the subdued epic "Acid Brain". "Red Medina" reduces itself to a bassline house number perfect for the Ibiza dancefloor or setting the scene for the duo's next smoke filled, laser lit arena. Booka Shade bounce back.
