as one of the leading voices in japans techno and house scene, this dj, producer and live performer knows what dark textures, dirty bass lines and driving beats are all about. this ep arrives as a bit of a powerful undercover tool style installation, full of simple percussive allotments, syncopated synth bass stabs and plenty of swing. hane starts out as a pretty straightforward loop minded drum workout, but before you know it a delicately plucked synth jam ignites the mix.

for fans od richie hawtin !!watch out! this one going to be huge. italian artist rico casazza has a varied musical background of classical, soundtrack and dub, but his core interest is quality, 4/4 techno. his style centers on deep atmospherics, bright as well as stoned melodies and lazy ambiences, with a subtle twist of tension...

aka quantec ! excellent minimal deep & dubby tech tracks, for fans of maurizio / basic channel / deep chord / monolake...

john daly is a young cork, ireland lad currently based in london. the title track is a deep and soothing slow burner of exquisite proportions. melodic keyboards combine with shakers and congas setting a nice vibe-y tech house tone. >do it< is more of a minimal tech house number, topped off with the essence of dub and iron percussion. subtlety is the key hereas this moody number builds with tense strings, deep pads and iron percussion. the last track >too much pressure< takes the classic deep house sound and brings it to the 07 dancefloor. very much like nu groove or chicago tracks, starting off with nice organ riffs, it matches delicate melodies with wooden beats and a 80 s r&b vibe that is as sensual as it is groovy

ultraphat francois kervorkain selection !! now available on triple vinyl pack, limited quantities

nice price deal !!! the infrequent recording career of rob rives resumes with this chunky wave tec 12 which provides for twenty minutes of nice n crunchy electronic house, often verging on the techno side of things. melody attack takes a while to warm up, but once the miasma of jagged keys,grindy synths and clipped drums reaches their optimum level, things can only continue to climb. counter attack is a dubbier eleven minute excursion along the theme of the a side

a hearty helping of tribal house with driving tribal rhythms complimented by a sinister vocal stab and a minimal bassline on a minimal percussive outing on the flipside the dub take sees label boss francois k lending a hand giving the track a bit more peaktime appeal by beefing up the drums nicely and retooling the bass into a funky groove (sb)

tough big room tribal-tech coming right to the dancefloor from new duo gravity beats!! tripped out dubby..

a stellar bubbling detroit-style synth > lines into one big hypnotizing groove on a lengthy minimal tech-house > excursio
