arriving as the third outing of len faki’s recently established non-profit platform lf rmx, these previously exclusive edits take on a raging classic by courtesy of frankie bones, godfather of the north-american rave scene. the new hardspace mix bolsters up the characteristic vocal and synths for even more frantic effect but trades in the percussion for faki’s signature assault of claps and hats. these also dominate the stripped-back hardspace tool, which carefully builds momentum only around the sirens and some seriously sizzling low-end rumble. both of faki’s personal mixes capture the original’s raw energy, yet manage to appear in both sleek but powerful presence. as with all releases of lf rmx, the proceeds of this record will be donated to the berlin charity project straßenkinder e.v. to be used in actions against child poverty.

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainlly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut. just the way we like it...for int005 we bring you a slow house chugger in the form of break the barriers, done by malaysian born and berlin based frankie flowerz. i have to say, its not by choice i decided to put this track out but a calling... upon hearing this track in frankies myspace player i knew i had to put this out over 12 inches in full scope... i spent some time trying to come up with the perfect match for remix duties and i think weve succeeded with the choice of man of the moment(and soon to be legendary)john daly of galway who turns in a slightly faster, darker and a bit dubbier affair.
played by jesse rose, incl, monster-remix by frankie !! well, it might be frozen up north, but that doesn’t stop jussi-pekka to keep the jackers coming! our man from nokia has a long list of releases, and his first release for floppy funk is another cracker. >regression< is a magic old school slightly acid house track. >depression< is more modern and techno, keeping a deep edge. the >regression< remix courtesy of frankie (the man who keeps jackin and freakin with his franke label) is another fine crazy tune to go nuts!
salute! is an amazing 4 tracker ep by frankie we start with the eponyme track a1 salute! is a groovy & freaky tech house piece with raw synths and sweet funky melodies defo floorfiller ! ... follow a2 transfer with darky oldschool bassline cut voices and quirky melodic sounds heady and so powerfull ...on the flip b1 ezit funky minimal techno track and b2 blaz is a more minimal house track wtih weird heady melody and an original break don t miss!
playlist by alexi delano, karotte, claude van stroke, perc, jeff samuel,.... 2nd release from faste by frankie. a side dontact is a perfect floorfiller techno piece with unpredictable elements raw melodies and quircky weird sounds...intense & crazy. b side brize track is a more mentally track with deep hypnotic crispy synths and distorded sounds... groovy aswell and perfect for hypnotizing the floor
