modernista returns with new music from paul bennett aka duster valentine! modthree features two tracks - *overtaking on the inside lane* is a sparse, wild pitch-style rhythm track built around modulating chord sounds. on the flip *apologies apparently unnecessary* is a more individual take on the melodic deep house sounds of chicago that paul first hinted at on modone.

modernista make a very welcome return after dropping their now classic debut 12 on us last year the architect of that raw late 80s machine music homage, paul bennett is back in charge here one of pauls formative influences during his youth was the music made by the first wave of techno producers from detroit. this release attempts to bring back some of the drama and pure funk of that sound. electronic music for the head, heart and feet. immaculately programmed maydayesque drum machines, emotive & expansive pitch bent synths, thundering low frequencies and clanks galore. this is a supercharged rewiring of the detroit blueprint in three startlingly well executed flavours.

absolutely superb debut release from paul bennett on the new modernista label. he shares his love for raw machine music as exemplified by mid to late eighties labels like trax, dj international, dance mania & hotmix5 across these four tracks of expertly constructed retro deep house, acid and emotive electronic disco timeless music, which totally redefined the clubbing soundtrack, revisited and rendered in glorious modern production technicolour homage, yes... but with enough noughties nouse to win over a whole new generation.

warm grooves, a solid thump and infectious rhythm and melody comes here on the new minimo with hot tracks by jeff bennett, paul eg, color switch and gadjetfreak

rebuilt album is a lp from ethnik groove that includes 6 new remixes from some of the classic tunes (funky moment - gotta go - unexplicable life) produced by paul eg with two bonus tracks. after several singles in collaboration with international renowned artists such as eriko tanabe, quantec, jeff bennett, davide squillace, florian meindel, markantonio and umberto carmignani, ethnik groove has invited benja, david lazzari, paul eg, reto ardour (switzerland), lee burton (greece), philip braunstein (brasil), jeff bennett (sweden). they frequently release outstanding lp on various international labels. these artists were chosen for their musical feeling and for their collaboration on brilliant tunes released on ethnik groove and minimo imprint, our techno-minimal division. musical approach the concept was to regroup artists with a diverse range of musical flavour in one lp to obtain a non -superficial album. the original tracks have a different approach from the techno tunes produced nowadays. the idea was to keep the same groove with a current trend to allow the artists to add their own musical flava in a defined style between techno, minimal and tech-house.

endlich erscheint das lang erwartete neue album der erfolgreichen us-amerikanischen reggae/rock-band rebelution bei easy star records. in den usa füllt die band mittlerweile große hallen, hierzulande gelten sie noch als geheimtipp. nach 12-jähriger bandgeschichte mit über 350.000 unabhängig verkauften alben wirkt das neue album kraftvoller als je zuvor. seit dem release ihres vorgängeralbums -count me in-, welches platz eins der billboard reggae charts und sogar platz 21 der offiziellen us billboard charts belegte, tourte die band um eric rachmany (gesang/gitarre), rory carey (keyboard), wesley finley (schlagzeug) und marley d. williams (bass) unermüdlich über alle kontinente. das album entstand unter mithilfe eines all-star produzententeams, darunter dwayne -supa dups- chin-quee (bruno mars, eminem), sam hollander (train, fitz and the tantrums), yeti beats (los rakas und rebelution vorgängeralben) und donovan -don corleon- bennett (rihanna, sean paul, vybz kartel).

following hot on the heels of paul bennett’s ‘modthree’, the next release on modernista comes from russian multi-instrumentalist and producer yuri shulgin. after releases under his own name and as mistanomista, alongside collaborations with anton zap, yuri joins modernista for a three-track 12 inch that effortlessly pieces together elements of acid, house, dub and jazz fusion into a very personal sound.
