wolkenreise finds the duo moving away from the dark, peak hour techno to a gentler sound that flirts with emotive deep house for something classy and inspired. the track offers here is built on a raw, unhurried kick. all important contrast comes from the dry, echoing claps (which cut gorgeously through the bass clouds like, well, thunder) at unexpected intervals, a distant, longing and muted organ line (i think) and some heavy hearted synths. it’s melancholic but optimistic, and has a certain classiness to it which i really dig.” -teshno, january 2011. these are just some of the words that have many saying wolkenreise is the single of year so far with massive global support from all over the world including seth troxler, laurent garnier, craig richards and alexi delano to name a few. glistening and glowing remixes are created by the brilliant minds of john tejada, dj qu and rene breitbarth to offer up a vinyl that is timeless

sound-design from a far-away galaxy, functional and intelligent arrangements, tricky elements somewhere between handmade and cinema-scope and continuously surprising ideas - this is the music of an extraordinary talent: boris brejcha.
he is one of the most productive creative minds of this time segment and while constantly releasing a great amount of tracks, his music does not sound like the work of a mechanic following a certain formula. boris force roots from a unique style that has a focus on diversity and still you recognize his hand-writing while listening to his tricky arrangements and breaks that are different as they can be.

easy changes supposed dolls ep is a welcome slice of audio that remains in the sweet spot between clubby-booty-shake and avant-garde-sound-grenade. theres more emphasis on acoustic tones as the sound sources for their audio bending activities. the added acoustic richness is in the service of easy changes love of abstract texture, and heightens a sense of almost tribal funk. will mix in and blow minds.

ndatl continues with a new amazing song created by the minds of justin chapman & terrance downs. the original catches you with its stand up bass & latin rhumble, while mr chapmans guitar serenades you. then terrances vocal then brings a whole other dimension to the song. then dj spinna get his hands on it and lets his galactic soul tranform i got life into a deep floor burner. and if that wasnt enough two crazy dubs by spinna & kzr!

some things seem to have a symbiotic relationship. prime example: a low-key electronic soundscape that leaves room for roaming thoughts, inhabited by an ethereal voice that colours in the musical silhouettes conjured in the minds eye. for his first ep since the >mango remixes< in 2008, sascha funke calls upon russian nina kraviz to make a feature appearance. with her releases on rekids, b77 and underground quality, this young woman has brought a rare combination of talents to bear: she sings, plays and produces with an equally astounding level of expertise. so what we have here is an encounter between of germanys most incisive techno producers and a singer of considerable charisma.

the solid tumbling tones found on this ep are all thats needed as an introduction to these two accomplished producers latest creation. both strong forces in their own right, the pair come together once again on sweatshop to present their vision of dancefloor harmony, and mystery! sirens is the aptly titled track whose crazy vibe is encapsulated by jacking, swinging percussion, wild pitching synth stabs and a haunting soprano soloist letting loose! this needs to be experienced to be believed, but the proof will be in the dancefloor, hands in the air and minds expanded! moirae works the tension with dense filtered stabs and crisp solid state percussion, driving this deep slab of dark dance into blissful moments of release. mellow yet urgent, its a raw, purist electronic statement! joel alter also offers up a special edit which focuses the groove in a slightly more kinetic direction, with reduced, aquatic synth work and a classic club energy that makes it an ideal addition to the package.

mike minds only previous release, >acid machine<, has been tigas most played record since it was made. a full-time turbo employee, he has spent the past few years getting his brain around making techno, and continues to impress us with his output. his debut ep, >resonate<, is something of a departure for our label, and one we are very proud of.
its amazing to have this kind of music coming directly out of turbo hq, it nails a sound that we have always tried to cultivate. minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, and with just enough analog imperfection and warmth to it.
both of the remixers we chose represent different sounds in techno that have influenced mikes sound.
1: sophisticated italian groove*
giorgio gigli is an italian minimal-trance maestro, an incredibly modern renaissance man who is also a trained sommelier.** he is rising in the ranks and catching up in profile to his occasional production partner, donato dozzy. hopefully we will have more of his tracks on turbo soon.
2: m¦n¦m¦l
hobo is a fellow canadian best known for his excellent work on m¦nus. rumor has it, he borrowed richies quad-macro template file to finish the final version of this remix... whatever he did, his second effort came up huge, this mix is excellent.
enjoy!

bodo elsel has only done a handful of records and the two that i have known and loved since 1998 were put out on playhouse, the excellent housey sister-label of mighty klang elektronik. one track in particular, discount baby, has always stood out in my mind as a high water mark in the sacred art of groove (you may have heard of it). punchy accents and resonant bass layered with trippy vocal loops, its dubby acid house of the highest order, made by a mysterious german lego-master, who the a&r team of mike mind and thomas st shindig managed to coax back into activity.
it only took bodo a year to answer mr. minds email, but he eventually delivered three amazing tracks... >haustier< revitalizes piano house. >mai< is incredible, and >mein haus< is one of the top few all-time expressions of the greatness/meaning of germany, putting it in the fine company of the autobahn, sven väth and christmas-market schwein. nice wibes!!
the icing on the cake was that bodo made it very clear he wanted no part in royalties or any of that business crap... he just wanted 42 copies of the record. yes. 42.
we were so inspired by all of this that we decided to put this record out in a different way for us that just feels right this time.... if you want to find out just how good the >mein haus ep< is, you will have no choice but to buy a copy of the 12 inch because this one is a vinyl exclusive!

love from montreal,

history has spawned hundreds of genius double acts – where two minds and talents collide to form something innovative and artistically challenging. unfortunately, spirit catcher are just a pair of european weirdos. jean vanesse and thomas sohet have collaborated under their spirit catcher guise on such notable labels as 20:20 vision, silver network, missive, winding road, and nrk. their electronic disco tech dancefloor bombs get play from an immensely wide range of djs looking to help their crowds freak the funk. we are proud to have this highlyinfluential duo on our 15 year anniversary compilation. beezy operator is pure spirit catcher, and this time they bring an infectious soulful vocal to really spice things up,

the model is no stranger to gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to the model. as a supporter of gigolo records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous gigolo adventure. but in the words of the late george harrison, >all things must pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
the model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: dark-techno-baroque. the sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. it also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the a-side >in the night<. in many ways this could be seen as a return to form for gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. to further consolidate the techno aesthetic look no further then >flex on the b-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by daft punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of djs today.
the >vampire funk ep< is the first release from the models forthcoming album on gigolo. the concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of the model. exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. like classic transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. the result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. as pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. as the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as i type and you read. so we are already part way there. the rest will unfold in the coming months.

played and supported by loco dice, livio & roby, nima gorji, …
new ianus71 introducing new maverick jazzsters autre. >unheard melody<, their 1st ep, is a compelling debut. a viral swinging mix of influences coming straight out of their studio jams, this opus marks again the steady search of ianvs71 for modern and unconventional grooves. from the contagious deepness of the title track, through the latin strokes of >canoa quebrada<, the hypnotic building groove of >masquerade< to the funky subtleties of >mismo< this is infectious material for feet and minds!
