we are proud to announce that no one less than greeks firstrate techno artist, axel karakasis, is featured with a huge track on technopassion number six. >buggy< is, as you d expect, a quite funky track that s packed with a ton of rhythm and cool synth lines with a oldschool feeling. another must have from axel that will please every crowd! on the flipside are two tracks from austrias uprising techno hero george le nagelaux. >steam engine< goes unstoppable forward like a steamroller. the baseline is really monstrous and accompanied by a catchy synthline. surely a number one prime time burner! >industrialisation< gots a proper base too and mystic sounds mixed with driving beats: dark, atmospheric and well donne. >industrialisation ep< is a solid, highly playable three tracker that no one should miss out!

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.

>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn’t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke’s 2nd album, “bird brain.” if you haven’t heard of bootsy we couldn’t write it better than rolling stone… “bootsy collins’ rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton’s eternal p-funk circus, and that’s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk – if he weren’t such a genius of the bass, you’d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb’s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.” it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that’s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there’s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

technopassion release number five delivers a tremendous blast of techno sound from george le nagelaux that no one can resist. the a side features a massive remix from belgiums ambitious techno star stephane signore. he made a truly energetic version of no resistance that goes forward with melody driven raw power. surely one of the top tracks of the year! the b side features the straight funky original version and our species will not survive , a track that is, as the name suspects, pretty dark. rumbling bass, catchy oldschool synthlines and propulsive beats are the outlines of this piece. no resistance ep is a solid, rhythm packed bundle of uplifting techno music, so go and get your vinyl copy of this one before its out of stock!

marco petralia: his sound is deep, dirty and twisted – his dj sets are energetic and impulsive! as bigcitybeats resident he played already side by side with international dj stars like george morel, roger sanchez, steve angello or mark knight and further is responsible for mixing the very popular bigcitybeats compilations which hit the top ten of the german compilations charts each time they are released. marco can refer to a row of successful releases on labels like open bar music, miss moneypennys and of course bigcitybeats. the baggi begovic remix of his last single >getting deep< got massive support from roger sanchez! without exaggeration you can call >breaking all the rules< marcos best release so far featuring stunning vocals by the young and beautiful us singer taleen marie and a bunch of rocking remixes from superstar d.o.n.s, uprising newcomer cold n what, abel riballo & dj kds and robert heart & christian gimbel.

imagination of the shape draws a new skyline while not abandoning the roots of the city. the tracks this time obviously point towards the future of course a bright one! the mixture of established artists and newcomers declares that plastic city has many great names and artists inside the city limits and nevertheless searches for new flavours, techniques, sounds and people but this time something is really different. all artists mentioned on the double 12inch compilation come up with neverseen creations which all have a new flavour and perfectly fit together. imagination of the shape sounds like science fiction house music something you never heard before. high quality tech house touches new spheres and instantly grabs the listeners attention. approved artists as terry lee brown junior, the timewriter, greg parker, rob pearson, colin dale or eddie richards prepared a row of pleasant surprises as they left the old centre of their city. slightly more minimal but still housy and groovy the tracks are connected to each other as it has always been greatly compiled at plastic city. theres much consideration behind the artists works as well as behind this chapter. imagine the shape imagine the future

big one for all the italo and cosmic disco heads!! >satellites are spinning< is an amazing disco oddysey which kicks off with a patrick cowley like electric bassline and the builds slowly. more and more synths are laid down to ensure for a mighty climax half way true when the lead melody kicks in. on the b-side we have this amazing vocal booguie tune called >u cant help but dance.< this can be compared with a moodymann meets theo parrish meets dexter wansel kinda song. whatever this may be, rest assured this nugget moves booty when dropped in the club. this awesome package ends with an electronic p-funk track called >zweap.< the mighty linndrum computer reminds of earlier prince productions and the crazy synths sound like amp fiddler playing on another dirty and energetic george clinton meets parliament gig
