perc trax returns with its 30th vinyl release with a split ep showcasing the works of both its newest and most established acts.
first up is ben gibson with 2 tracks that feature on his forthcoming perc trax album >in a realized luck of immanence<. both tracks instantly demonstrate what made jeff mills sign ben to his axis offshoot 6277. bens sound is a dense, atmospheric take on the now-classic uk techno sound of surgeon, regis, ruskin etc and both the rolling bass of >vanished between< and the sharp stabs of >wirklichkeit< prove that he is an artist to watch out for.
on the b-side label boss perc hooks up with the labels canadian connection metalogic to deliver 2 tracks that flit between broken beat and 4/4 rhythms with ease. both tracks feature an attention to detail that both perc and metalogic are known for with endless dubbed out synths and effects keeping the tracks interesting but never getting in the way of the crisp beats. these tracks have already been road tested around the world by perc in recent months and will be a key part of a launch party for this ep in toronto in october.

3 straight up techno tracks, tough machine funk for the anti boring minimal massive! the first solo release from ben sims on theory for a very long time and it s a move away from his usual sample driven dj tools, what we have here is 3 straight up techno tracks, tough machine funk for the anti boring minimal massive. already getting hammered by james ruskin, paul mac, dj bone and of course, mr sims. this is one of many new projects lined up for release in 2009 from ben, so expect more theory action very soon.

mark brooms and dave hills rue east project remixed by ben sims and james ruskin.

james ruskin teams up with karl o connor aka regis to reactivate blueprint records with a deep and dark techno 3-tracker!

release #100 by tresor records, made in 1998, comes with 9 classic techno tunes by artists like christian vogel, regis, pacou, infiniti, heiko laux, blake baxter and more.

big with speedy j, luke slater, cari lekebusch, james ruskin and many more.. audio assault returns with their first release in 2009. on this 32nd cut labelowner bas mooy delivers a banging fourtracker in the well known audio assault tradition. for quite a while this rumbling beast has been waiting to be unleashed, so be prepared for some peaktime dancefloor damage, not for the faint hearted!

minimalplus is an underground project that started quite a while ago and it is back with a new release. on the record minimalplus give you a legendary dutch underground dj called noes. it one of those guys who was there from the beginning. for a long time he had a solid residency at the transistor nights in the south of holland where he played with almost al big techno names like, jeff mills, joey beltram, surgeon, james ruskin, johannes heil, ben sims, robert hood, steve rachmad and the list goes on. now noes launches his first release on this underground imprint. one the aside the is hd which is like the man him self a little hyper. rolling percussion with some upwards movement. rocking but also a useful dj tool. one the bside there is the shit and it is! a rocking minimalistic rave sound, freaky sequence and easy to get a crowd going.

go hiyama has risen quickly to a position of international respect that few japanese techno producers can match. from his debut release on james ruskins coda label to his recent surgeon remixed single geometrical he has attracted continuous support from oscar mulero, james ruskin, surgeon, gayle san and many other djs at the cutting edge of techno. his sound is powerful but with an intricacy and ear to detail that shames most of the loop techno from a few years ago. for his first perc trax release he delivers 2 slices of powerful, detailed modern techno that follow on perfectly from geometrical. for the b-side remix perc trax is proud to have a deep dub techno mix from norman nodge. norman is resident at berlins infamous berghain club and the only producer apart from marcel dettmann to record for marcels own mdr imprint. norman has also just released the well-received track native rhythm electric on ostgut ton, which also featured on dettmanns recent berghain 02 mix album. as a dj, norman moved to his berghain residency after organising parties in easy germany, now as his production career flourishes he is starting to make his mark on the international circuit. this is normans first release on a non-german label and is a real coup for perc trax

der londoner dubstep-pionier und hotflush-labelbetreiber scuba aka paul rose beweist seine einzigartigkeit mit einem 75-minŸtigen fabric-set aus 42(!) Ÿber- und nacheinander gelegten tracks. unterschiedliche kŸnstler wie pearson sound und patrick cowley, donato dozzy und midland treffen in einer dŸster-verfŸhrerischen atmosphŠre aufeinander, so dass man sich zwischen pumpendem lo-fi techno und subsonischen bŠssen im rave-kosmos verliert.

das belgische techno-label token prŠsentiert mit aphelion eine brandneue compilation mit neuen, unveršffentlichten, exklusiven tracks derzeitiger techno-protagonisten wie surgeon, james ruskin, luke slater (planetary assault systems), rodhad oder lucy.

function ist der techno-mann der stunde! parallel zu seinem soloalbum auf ostgut ton lŠsst der wahlberliner, der in den 00er jahren zusammen mit regis das legendŠre duo und label sandwell district betrieb, diesen alias wiederauferstehen und liefert mit seinem partner ein fabric-mixset in bester berghain manier ab: staubtrocken, reduziert, fokussiert, deep.

ben klock zeigt auf no. 66 ein schonungsloses insider-set, wie eine entdeckungsreise. statt der hits waehlt er raritaeten und unveroeffentlichte tracks wie zb. von staffan linzatti, sagat, k-hand und dj bone werden kombiniert mit oldskool-favoriten von josh wink, robert hood (aka floorplan), luke slater (aka planetary assault systems), dvs1 und technasia, die wirklich nur ein langjaehriger trainspotter kennen kann. dazwischen mischt er den uk dubstep-helden burial, brandneues material von mathew jonson, sigg gonzalez und sagat, eigene produktionen, edits und reworks, sowie neue cuts seines labels klockworks. ein fantastischer mixtrip von au§ergewoehnlicher und kompromissloser qualitaet!

little nobody Ð in fact australian expat andrez bergen, whos been based in tokyo these past 10 years Ð then decided to ask justin robertson (lionrock) to remix. while counting on robertsons experience rebooting bjšrk, happy mondays, fatboy slim, luke slater and felix da housecat, andrez is also a long-time fan and suspected the mix-master would have an absolute field day here Ð which he apparently did, giving the ingredients a good hearty shake and delivering a concoction that stunned everybody.

detroit legend robert hood!! following last years triumphant >omega< album that saw robert hood envisage the 1971 film >the omega man< as a techno science fiction opus he now translates the suspense and tension of charlton hestons last man on earth battle for survival into the frenetic energy of his own new live show. in 2011, omega comes aliv

surgeons fabric-cd sprŸht vor leidenschaft & imagination. zwei eigenschaften, fŸr die diese techno-legende steht. in seinem set verbindet surgeon bewŠhrte rave & techno-sounds mit moderner bassmusik, stellt links her zwischen oppression & reduktion, die bislang in dieser form noch nie decodiert wurden und erschafft so ein einzigartiges, generationen Ÿberwindendes kunstwerk!
