delusions hits the spot once again with number 3, this time highlighting the production skills of a certain zepp001. the seattle based disco obsessive has been leaking out high class edits over the years under a dizzying array of deliberately forgettable pseudonyms but feels the time is right to push his original tracks. who better then to make these beauties available for you discerning djs than delusions of grandeur. dont sleep is a dark, brooding groover with throbbing bass, cute cuica fills and intense strings that lalo schifrin would be proud of. a real heavy mood setter and as good an introduction to the sound of zepp001 as you re likely to need. next up we have the mighty revenge in for remix duties on dont sleep. the much hyped master of the edit keeps the vibe of the original well and truly in place but opts for an even more stripped back approach leaving all the space for crisp claps, slowly building strings and bowel wobbling bass. flip over for giraffe, a more upbeat affair where the filtered keys come to the fore and things steer in a hyped up deep house direction. show your luv...

attention - triple album for the price of a double! mothership tranmsission 019 – >voodeux - the paranormal<
two years ago, on the east coast of america, a couple of highly technical production wizards joined forces and created their own genre of strange and creepy techno under the moniker, voodeux. one from boston and the other from philadelphia, tanner ross and james watts first released >the curse< ep on mothership in 2008 with great success. with dj support rolling in from everywhere claude vonstroke soon commissioned them to record a full-length album of this new moody sound. voodeuxs debut album, >the paranormal< is a concentrated vision of myth and mysterious beats, exploring the eerie after-life side of techno like no other artists have done to date. it is a vision of ghosts and goblins hiding in the closet ready to scare the daylights out of you. using dark funk, ghoulish atmospheres and futuristic production, voodeux is staking their claim as the next generation of american techno and >the paranormal< is a techno masterwork for the modern underworld.

peter kruder is one of those emblematic names that lead a whole decade and inspire myriads of djs, producers and clubbers all over the world. while he enjoys unprecedented success with kruder & dorfmeister and crossed into the platinum range (selling 1 million copies of the k&d sessions album), he never lost track of the underground. probably his stellar career would never have happened exactly this way if there wasn’t the other kruder: the adventurous dj, the deep producer, the challenging a&r at g-stone, the producer behind dj hell’s highly acclaimed “teufelswerk” album. in 15 years peter kruder has done only 3 singles under his own name though. when you get your ears around “chordal” and “law of return” it becomes totally clear why this rare outing happens on macro. kruder meets his macro debut full on modernism - showcasing his deep, dark, dancefloor grounded side. with a crisp harmonic sequence reminiscent of tchaikovsky’s nutcracker suite, “chordal” hijacks brains on the dancefloor with its vacuum depth and sizzling details. “law of return” on the other side is a kruder signature take on deepness - solemn chords wrapped around a hypnotic groove give you tears of joy. a masterpiece!
