jose rico and dj f are responsible for the second release of eleve label, two of the heads of the madrilian emergent scene of producers. the synths and sequences of 5 minute before and la verdad show that dj f is partial to detroits flavours, specially robert hood, among many others. for the last track, out of the energy, he builds together with jose rico a gem of atmospheric analogue house with claps that remind to chicago. a productive collaboration that has just started off with this release along with freebeat 02.

the debut release of swedish artist combo (he is half of s.u.m.o. which is well known as jazzy house artist in the beginning of 2000). probably some people know his excellent edit of robert hood >minus<. the title track of a side is modern beatdown house with the emotional piano loop sound. if you like the release of the revenge or mark e, you will like this song. b1 is an old school house version of the title track and >uptown< on b2 is early new york house sound.

one year ago boys noize released his second album >power< and here come the last singles: the double a-side trooper / nott plus remixes by robert hood, paul chambers, shadow dancer, phon.o and strip steve. listen to trooper and you immediately feel part of a movie - a dark, powerful tech strenght, big drum sounds and the scary voice machine system is something you haven’t heard before, for sure! boys noize had the big honor of getting a remix by techno-godfather robert hood.

marcus sur lives 30 minutes from cologne in essen and has recorded for several labels in the past like pottheads with whom he reached no 1 in the dcc charts with his >stop the junk< release. his latest tracks were released on highgrade and keno records. marcus sur played bass in a band but stopped in the 90ies to get involved in djing which lead to famous residencies in clubs such as >rote liebe< and >baikonur< where he was also responsible for the musical programme. with his release >down with the ship< on trapez ltd he shows his love for minimal music. his definition of minimal though has more in common with robert hood than with recent developments due to the fact that his love for rare groove and deep house music has been part of his life. his 2 track vinyl is authentic and cool and speaks the language of the coal mining district in germany, the ruhrpott. house music has always been big there and lead to the founding of one of the first house distributers in germany, ntt . marcus sur is momentarily resident at the gold club in essen where he will celebrate his release on the trapez label night (26th of september)

since it’s inception in 1991 on the streets of glasgow, soma records has stood for uncompromising quality of the highest level in every area it operates. stuart mcmillan & orde meikle formed slam during the acid house explosion in the late 80’s and then together with friends glenn gibbons & dave clarke they forged one of electronic music’s most widely known and well respected labels. with mcmillan & meikle as the figureheads with their slam project and influenced by the early detroit techno scene, soma quickly began to develop it’s own sound and with their eyes firmly fixed on a vision of the future, the team began the quest to instill their unquenchable thirst for electronic music into the world around them. soma quickly became an international brand as slam’s anthemic “positive education” brought about an electronic renaissance that saw the group thrust into the limelight and green lit the furious rise of the label.

quasi reminds us of the mid-90 s us styled techno from the likes of synewave and even some robert hood tracks from that era, but optimized for the floors of today. on the b-side, parallel goes into familiar skudge territory, with a brooding and haunting atmosphere - twisted up with some of that well-known funk that skudge has been pushing for a decade now.

four tracks of taut, relentless techno grooves rooted in the late 90’s tradition of energetic and ravey & jacking tracks to rock the dancefloor. no surprise there are passionate and skilled dj s behind this project... ben sims & truncate have formed to create assailants. their new studio and b2b dj project’s first output comes on the new imprint, obscurity is infinite. early support from robert hood, ben klock, luke slater and mark broom. all killer!

floorplan delivers two excellent reinterpretations of radio slave ‘feel the same’, the title track from the rekids founder’s forthcoming album. made up of former underground resistance member robert hood and his daughter lyric, the detroit duo needs little introduction and last year saw the release of their illustrious album ‘victorious’ on hood’s m-plant. the first remix of ‘feel the same’ extends to eight minutes long and is a journey, incorporating echoing chords, intricate percussion and a medley of esoteric effects whilst cackling laughter ebbs in and out of the mix. meanwhile, the flip sees a more up front interpretation with its heady hook, rolling drums and energetic claps.

berlin based arttu has been dropping his dusty fat beats across numerous techno labels including philpot, clone and 4lux for a few years but it was 2016’s track ‘hoodies’ on arttu’s own imprint cyblo that caught the attention of accidental label boss matthew herbert (and which remains firmly in herbert’s record bag). arttu was invited onto the accidental jnr roster and has delivered a chunk of techno with so much swing it made donkey kong blush. arttu takes the most simple of jazz bass hooks and loops across a rigid kick, it’s when those hats kick in that the groove goes fucking wild. the presence of us native roberto q ingram on vocals brings a full detroit gangster flavour to the party. initially arttu and roberto had an idea to record a simple and sweaty track with roberto on the mic and arttu at the control of some dusty old machines. the result, ‘bass trakk’ is exactly that: roberto dropping lyrics over a raw beat and a massive bassline. the ep is rounded off with a deep bit of techno ‘debris’ with all the trappings of the darkest hour of a berlin winter in which it was recorded.

this is not fake news: robert hood and jimmy edgar have remixed italojohnson..

another slamming cut selected from kelli hand s impressive discography, this time she dons her etat solide pseudonym for some raw, no nonsense, jacking detroit techno. with 4 mixes to choose from -think about it- is an essential weapon for any dj worth their salt. released on the mysteriously named uk house records and boasting the text - -special thanks to underground resistance-, mixed by mike -agent-x- clark and featuring the engineering skills of one robert -the vision- hood you know this is some serious business. -think about it- captures the early essence of detroit techno, it s nagging, raw bass-line and backwards drums sound like they are about to lose control any second, the record sounds somewhat unhinged and is all the better for it! this style is often imitated but never bettered, pure %100 dance-floor energy from 1990, rare and essential! released with the permission of and in conjunction with kelli hand and acacia records, detroit usa. re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released for 2015 s dance-floors and record bags.

limited copies, analog lovers hinode offer three distinct soundspaces to lose yourself in and never come back. linear equation drifts in the same heady atmosphere as stls lighter flights of fancy, suspended loosely in a pillowy cloud of pads and oscillating bass thats perfect for warming up the senses. the detroit thump of cubic parsec sees that simmering tension break through into outer space, its deadened kicks and rushing snares evoking robert hoods seminal nighttime world vol 1. lastly, hinode slow down and stretch out for the sensational time travel, an ultra-refined and precision-controlled electro killer that will take afterparty dancers on a trip beyond.

johannes heil and markus suckut team up for the new cocoon release and what they came up with is simply amazing! a techno monster! the two high profile producers seem to merge various techno influences out of the last 15 years here but they manage it to do this with their very own hand writing. the opening track intuition appears like robert hood and speedy j helped out triggering the right sounds in the studio.
