nice price deal !!! a hugely influential figure in the french techno scene for the last 15 years, lady b (aka bruno gauthier) brings his acid house flavors to curfew. a child of detroit techno and chicago house bruno has released on some of the most significant record labels in electronic music history including luke solomons and derrick carters re-launched classic recordings, f communications, dj gigolo, boys noise, citizen records, and the hackers good life label.
le fil du razoir (the razors edge in english) brings a classic techno vibe up to date via a dose of wobbly acid house. the result is a no-nonsense, high impact fusion of spitting beats, evil sub-bass and sharp jacking strings. big…
fresh from a chart-topping ep for sci+tec, reset robot brings his sound-of-now to curfew. pacing out the track to allow a swaying funk to percolate the off-kilter drone of the original the result is an edgy, melodic tech house groove.
kapat sees lady b combine bubbling 80s synth pop melodies with heavy rolling bass and drawn out dramatic strings to create a full-force floor grabbing blend of old and new. timeless, energetic, emotive underground music.

smokestack is all about paolos darker side. intense, minimalist and moody, the game plan here is all about matching understated energy with a compelling hypnotic aura to create a powerful peak-time tech stormer. booming beats, abrasive bass-licks and a wigged out flickering riff create the required mood before explosions of harmonic echoing keys provide the moment in the break. swiss producer michal ho, best known for his work with berlins tuning spork label has been selected to provide the rework

new zealand’s finest returns to king unique’s curfew imprint magik johnson’s last cross-genre mutant release on curfew >asylum sneaker< picked up fans from adam beyer to claude von stroke, sasha to jesse rose and found it’s way onto danny tenaglia’s latest compilation. so we at curfew are grinning from ear to ear as we introduce it’s twisted younger brother >straight face<, complete with two superb remixes to give you a package that we’ve had great pleasure road testing over the last few weeks.

the king unique/junior revival continues on curfew with one of the biggest tracks of 2001, remixed and refreshed for its 08 comeback. aah yeah… >obscene, dirty, filthy, immoral<, a chant that echoed across clubland throughout that year of tribal beats, dark >waaaarp< noises and danny tenaglias dj booth torch-antics. but fuck the nostalgia and get these two superb remixes in your lbag

hinode’ is a tribute and farewell to our favourite club, yellow in tokyo. we’ve played some great gigs there, six or seven hours in the dark with eight hundred people and one strobe light – perfection. endless saki in the bar, obligatory stalkers (“93!” and hedgehog girl step forward please), smoke and heat on the dance floor. finally emerging deafened and sun blinded into the brilliance of saturday mid-morning in tokyo… backing up the original is an exceptional remix from our favourite techno genius - fergie.

king unique are one of the most influential dance production/dj outfits of the past 10 years, and?now the legends that are matthew roberts & matt thomas are back with a killer new single >yohkoh<. a melodic tech/prog/house (or whatever its called these days) gurn- fest of epic proportions, >yohkoh< is kus first single since their year off from the studio – a year that saw them tour their >electric< mix album across the globe, a journey that found matthew roberts marooned in a mud soaked brazilian rainforest and matt thomas cornered by tasmanian devils on a beach at midnight amongst many other (mis)adventures.

asylum seeker + padded cell rmx blackpool refugee, cycling fiend and house music-machine magik johnson joins curfew for obviously his finest piece of music ever. imagine dj sneak, switch and jesper dahlback all kept hostage in a small room under orders to make something really good or be shot. filtered electro riffs build the pressure over a huge rumbling bass-end, then it drops into a techy hook that sounds like richie hawtin remixing a john carpenter soundtrack. paranoid and minimal as you like - and then back to the earth shattering beats & bass..

slamming electro techhouse with harmonic neo trance moments

the curfew label from king unique was started to coinicide with their nights of the same name. the musical ouput has been quite simply stunning with the 2 releases so far being the amazing >2 the left< track and the zoom in/zoom out killer from their alter ego - kupon. this time sees producer tim richards delivber an absolute killer with his track smolder. the track itself is a monster with great bassline and superb detroit like chord sand rising strings. if that wasn t enough king unique way in with a remix of their own that that takes the best parts from the original and reworks them superbly adding their signiture shuffling bassline and razor sharp percussion. what a record!

two excellent rockin techno tunes !!!
