vrajitoroo. now the frightening thing about our boy razvan aka. vrajitoroo, is that his is only 17 years of age. born and raised in romania, his passion for electronic music first came to light at the age of 11. since then he has followed closely the careers of not only fellow romanians rhadoo and raresh, but a host of other stars of the techno circuit, including the heavy-weights, hawtin, vath, loco dice, carola, luciano and villalobos. the more he listened the more his passion grew, and soon his urge the make music could no longer be ignored, he set on his production journey. the first fruits of his labour are now here for you to check out. sent to lawler, it took him a very short time to decide that he wanted the tracks for viva music, and so, vrajitoroo becomes the latest new artist to join the label.... the three tracks din nou iar, tzushca and mai hai!, represent a new modern take on a classic tribal sound.

black rocket is a banger in the vein of the dirty 98 bristol sound that was cherished by folks like decoder and tech itch. a reverberating wood block snare, a big fat distorted bassline and dizzying white noise to fill up any frequency space that was left make this track a tough pill to swallow.

andre harris returns to large music with another slice of his trademark chicago deep house sound entitled >what i feel inside<. retro keys and tight percussion frame the lead vocals and live guitar in the >vocal mix< and >vocal dub< while andre gets deeper and techier with the >dub mix< and >dub instrumental<. a stellar package from one of chicago s rising stars!

ah! kosmos – das ist ein beständiges wunder, in dem wir hier mittendrin stecken. beim hören ihrer tracks bleibt immer wieder nur stauen. den soundtrack zu love & awe spielt seit einem halben jahrzehnt basak günak, sound-designerin, produzentin und multi-instrumentalistin aus istanbul. auch auf ihrem zweiten album „beautiful swamp“ verbindet sie elastische bis hart knisternde percussions mit melodischen soundlandschaften. dabei gehören der universalismus der musik und persönlicher freiheit untrennbar zusammen: tief im gewebe ihrer tracks aus downbeat und deep house, aus türkischen klangtraditionen und exotischen revieren stecken auch Ängste, glück und düsternis: günaks musik fängt auf, was sie in ihrem leben zwischen istanbul und berlin verarbeitet und überwindet. den hörenden bleiben so nicht nur soundscapes zu erkunden, sondern vielschichtige, emotionale kosmen, die mit jeder neuen klangschicht ihre widerhaken ins hirn schlagen.

didier allyne embodies a certain kind of underground already in the mid 90 s : a record store clerk, distributor, artist and dj, he cross-cuttingly approched the scene even back then, when -french touch- was massive. embracing the new trends from a sideways perspective, he emerged with his own blend of broken beat, soul jazz and warp style electro, always keeping the groove in sight, basicaly what techno is all about, as deep and singular as it gets he began the parisian shop traffic records in 1998. this compilation will be in several volumes that have been flagship pieces of this shop influenced by fat cat records, wally s groove world in others ...this first techno volume highlights the influence that didier received at fat cat by the introspective piece stasis -so-lar- on time in right in 1993 & ritchie inkle, one of the designers of nu loop & whose piece - happy face -represents the techno sound represented by traffic records
