unreleased tracks by the chicago master ...
ron maney also known as dj skull lived in the southside of chicago (il, usa). his musical career started during the summer of 1986, while recovering from a broken bone. during the following years he homed his craft, djing first at basement parties, building his reputation to go on to larger events such as, loft and hotel parties, and eventually the infamous music box and power plant clubs. at the age of fifteen ron shopped his first demo at trax records. there he first met chicago s legendary dj ron hardy, working as a&r for trax records. two years, and a new alias later (dj skull) later while at the power plant, chicago s own steve poindexter heard a dj playing one of rons tracks, and met ron. steve was now a&r at saber records and invited ron to release some tracks. so in october of 1991 dj skull s first record -n.r.g. music- was released. in 1993, he released the ep -the stomping grounds- on djax-up-beats, which was more noted than the first one. over the years that followed dj skull released lots of ep s on several labels. he has become well-respected producer and dj in the techno industry

after releases on john osbourne’s label tanstaafl bill youngman once again rips it off for killekill with our catalog number 019.from straight forward, hard hitting techno as in levitate he crosses over to the typical youngman style 2-step/techno hybrid as in magnetic. broken beats and playful me- oldies as in teardrop turns to solid are definitely not new to him, but the combi-nation of these two elements, as we find it here, definitely is. a beautiful masterpiece that works for the lonely hours as well as for the peaktime dancefloors.

russian producer sanys has impressed with a series of raw techno records on his downfall theory label - and his latest release further showcases his talents. dominance starts with atmospheric synth washes before a granular bass and relentless percussion propel it forward. like previous sanys releases however, this is not straightforward linear techno and a rumbling vocal and insistent drums will keep the listener engaged. my concern sees sanys opt for a different approach, with a pulsing bass and a crystalline synth line going up and down the scales, intertwined with a vocal snippet, while told you so features another stylistic shift. on this occasion, it s back to the darker sound that was audible on some of the earlier downfall theory releases. tight, snappy drums and robust, insistent claps provide the basis for a droning, murky bassline that cuts through the arrangement like a lighthouse rays in the dark of night. finally, irish producer eomac, one half of lakker, delivers a version of dominance that centres on lithe broken beats, ghostly melodies and insidious tonal shifts. as its title suggests, dominance shows sanys has become a master of the techno form.

relating back to the etui records roots of monomood, abstract animal presents the remixes of absolute control that originally appeared on etuiltd 003. who can be more suitable for transforming the heavy chord sounds of the original into a forward pushing floor behemoth than 50 weapons multi talented sound artist benjamin damage? in addition to that monomood took a re-edit of his own track and put a even more dark and industrial feel on it. to close the circle etui records mastermind and dresdens very own insect o. converts the originals four to floor rhythm to a broken beat machine funk monster.

killekill is proud to present eomac’s “spectre”, the debut album from dublin-based producer ian mcdon- nell, a rising star in the techno scene. spectre also marks the label’s first full-length album release. ian is better-known as half of the irish duo lakker and this album is certainly carved from the same cold slab of stone. his music has already gained huge support from the likes of tommy four seven, ellen allien, thom yorke and the one and only aphex twin himself. bleepy, slo-mo synth lines, dense textures, saturated bassdrums and hand-sliced vocals dunked in cavern- ous reverb – spectre is all about eomac doing what he does best, taking our concepts of club sound and contorting them into something that is truly his own. the melodies are slo-mo and lo-fi, the pads, exquisitely lush and textured. ian’s amazing sound-design (bordering on the intense in some places) and incredible attention to detail makes this an album where each listen reveals a deeper layer. spatters of noise, shards of broken beat and relentlessly pounding techno rhythms also make it a dancefloor-decimating weapon.

rising label releases its second ep with an original track by victor martinez, another artist from the agency, that gives life to this record and gets completed by remixes from oscar mulero, ness and adriana lopez. the original track by victor, -anything called dead consumerism”, is all about visceral and obscure techno with broken rhythms and high levels of hypnotism. following, we can find oscar mulero’s remix, a version that suggests another groove but maintains the essence of the original making it a serious and effective weapon. on the b side we can find ness’ remix, a track that captures you since the beginning. deep, elastic and elegant at the same time where hypnotism reigns and this few characteristics of the italian producer. adriana lopez closes the ep with a more percussive and energetic version. fine techno that catches you from the first beat, a perfect track as a dj.

the 9th vinyl release is here and we re very glad that, after a long time, we finally have the noisemaker back on the label. and this time on wax. the noisemaker, new label / agency regular member, has putted all of his finesse in 4 new outstanding productions. this new ep is an experience with various feelings emerging from the different moods of the tracks. sometimes it goes on with broken beats, sometimes it is just straight and it always comes with hypnotic, tripping raw and acid synthetizers, entertaining rythmics, all wrapped in dark atmospheres. the ep is supported by a high quality remix from american techno legend paul birken that delivered a real cutting edge rework of the original track -processing-. more than a remix, we could call it a reinterpretation. paul s very own flow is immediately hitting with patterns running crazy and an intense energy which is raised by heavy bass drums and slashing percs.

dehnert has continued to steer his fachwerk label through the techno undergrowth and it has now amassed more than 25 releases in all. at the heart of the labels output has been dehnerts own increasingly experimental techno and this new album is testament to the producers continued exploration of the form. where framework was, in the words of mike himself, focussed on the heavy techno form, this album explores broken bass, swinging house and beatless electronic experimentalism amongst other things. i love to release music. i still enjoy the album writing process very much, says mike, before adding, i have noticed that sometimes the succe ss of a track depends on the light at club, which is why the album is called lichtbedingt, meaning depends on light! the album starts off with a suitably sombre intro that features cold, slowly shifting synths.

after 20 years of experience, gary martin couldnt resist a 12 inch that is also the 50th release for teknotika: a label from detroit that didnt exactly stick with the game when it switched to the mp3 format. *basking in blackness* is a composition of textured broken beat then classic four on the floor old school soul. *synthotika* is what would happen if a synthasizer could take over an orchestra. a track inspired by detroit peers no doubt. *every bit as beautiful* goes sensative deep house piano, a lil latin percussion and soaring eno-esque synths to top it off. the title is a bit sarcastic, let us face it, there is no life after techno!
