after the success of the nothing special events a label of the same name begins. the events so far have been held at fabric of course and new york. the concept is simply that craig plays all night around live acts. previous guests have been pole, deadbeat, moritz von oswald trio, emperor machine, convextion, dopplereffekt. 2652, shackleton and conforce. the depth of craigs musical knowledge as a dj provides a sense of structure to the parties. the nothing special in weekly radio show format commences imminently. first release is by radionasty - the combined force of billy nasty and keith tenniswood.

the debut ep from mysterious parisian techno duo, kartei, starts off with the renaissance style >lichtgarten<. in its unreleased state, the 15th century style arpeggio and driving beat already turned heads with appearances on some legendary legowelt dj mixes. sure to be a hit. check!
but that is not all, you get more bang for your buck. the record continues on with a modern track reminiscent of >hot on the heels of love<, and the heavy kicked aquatic space styled >transponder<. and that is just the a side. the b side is big room convextion/basic channel style techno and a gentle come down ambient track. fresh, classic sounding techno from france.

ultralimited !! killer minimal detroit techno ! already support from convextion & anthony shake shakir ...

clandestine techno/house imprint, meanwhile records reveals a one-off opus from two highly respected techno producers, niels luinenberg (delta funktionen) and samuel van dijk (mohlao). the deeply mystical >inward content< session represents the leuwarden sound of their native north holland (also former home to another master of hypnotic repetition ((of the graphic type)), m.c. escher) with an elegant, classically informed and deeply refined brand of 4/4 also identified on celebrated 12inches for ann aimee and delsin. the albums six tracks use an economical production palette, but we wouldnt call them minimal. the emphasis is on subtly monotone melodic shades, from the rippling black masses of bass which power each track, to the bluest hued pads and unfathomably expansive atmospheres which lend them their spectral grace. listening to this album is almost a mystical experience, like hearing the results of a seance conducted in low-lit surroundings calling upon the spirits of basic channel, convextion and the black dog circa 1995. >inward content< took over two years to assemble and techno connoisseurs can clearly discern why. recommended!

this is the second single release from hardfloors last album >two guys three boxes<. after the highly acclaimed >texas trill remixes< in 2008, e.r.p. (aka convextion aka gerard hanson from dallas/texas) returns withan epic collaboration that gravitates... theres a dynamik bass system remix to round up the package. thomas werner (from munich) had his debut 1998 on international deejay gigolo records. after >dont stop compute< on lone records 2004 and >robotmachine< on monotone he released 2008 his longplayer >the mighty machine< on dominace electricity. latest attention came from his project >heliopause< (a collabo with detroits aux 88) on his new imprint robotmachine records. the vocals on his remix were performed by dj maaco from detroit in effect.

conforce is the moniker of a 22 year old bloke from the island of terschelling in the netherlands. he is currently living in the city of leeuwarden where he works as an audiovisual designer. at the end of 2007 rush hour released his first 12 inch >our concern<, which got big support from people like josh wink, rolando, derrick may and laurent garnier. >junction< followed in 2008, with again raving feedback. to quote resident advisor: >quite simply he s a rising star<. now there are 4 amazing tracks from him on curle, hope you like em as much as we do!

its been almost a year since the release of efdemins fantastic two-tracker >america/the pulse<. >america<, that was also used on his curle mix-cd >carry on...<, became quite a big tune and even ended up on the number one spot in groove magazines chart. therefor efdemin preferred that no-one touched that track anymore, and we decided to give >the pulse< a remix treatment. john beltran is a highly respected artist that has been around since the early nineties - r&s! peacefrog! styrax! - and when we heard the ultra-funky mega-bomb he made from >the pulse<, we knew we made the right decision to ask him. another one of our long time favourites from accross the ocean is convextion aka e.r.p. he did some ground-breaking stuff on matrix, down low and frantic flowers. we asked him to do a remix of crcs amazing take on detroit techno, >vaskitsaherra<, originally on curle 009. the result ended up being nothing else than a timeless piece of art.

gerard hanson hails from the unlikely environments of dallas, texas usa. his music has influences from derrick may, stefan robbers, red planet and carl craig.. he released his first 12inch in 1995 on matrix / detroit. after that he released on labels like tektite recordings, down low, ai records, frustrated funk, frantic flowers and aw recordings. he is very careful about sharing his music with the rest of the world. in the last decade he only used the aliases convextion and e.r.p. (event related potential). e.r.p is an electro-edged moniker....
