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.

barcelona-born rainer grew up in california, but it was his move to london in 2007 which led him to start collaborating with cesare vs disorder, playing out around town and beginning his production career with the popular >neuralgia< under his belt. the obvious next step for him was to hitch his wagon onto the well-traveled route onto berlin where he now presents his second release on cesares serialism records. >x-berg to san diego<, a production in conjunction with the labels head honcho, a paean to his newly adopted stomping ground and the town of his youth. a tough house beat leads with a funky guitar picking out groove along the way, an oscillating vocal hovering into earshot as old-school snares jack it up.

slowdive wurden stilistisch besonders durch noise-rock-bands wie sonic youth und my bloody valentine, aber auch durch gothic- und dark-wave-gruppen wie siouxsie and the banshees, the cure und den cocteau twins beeinflusst.

a boy named suzanne. travelling from los angeles to portland and back to los angeles again, suzanne krafts vinyl debut features four tracks of frenetic sunshine ecstasy. chill rave, pill wave, hypno disco, balearic beats or slow-motion house made by the careless youth of the us-american west coast? call it what you want, at the end of the day or the night its simply joyful music made to make you happy. on krafts >green flash ep<, the contemplative romance of >green flash< counteracts the straightness of >morning come<, while >turning< and especially >femme cosmic< are the icing on the cake. lets face it, old people: the kids are all right! first 5000 copies housed in a killer and tremendously flamboyant sleeve. bite into summer.

it took a while but we finally got this great remix ep together from catz n dogz escape from zoo album. tanner ross flexes his e-funk biceps and shows us that just a little bit goes a long way with huge bass and sparse vox. this remix goes against the grain the right way, showing restraint and power at the same time. the main man of detroit, carl craig also delivers a sparse and beautiful mix, 1st giving us a lesson in how to properly tweak the space echo and then bringing it back with classic strings and subs. both mixes are getting major support from all across the globe from sebo k to troy pierce to ewan pearson to martyn to l-vis 1990 to james zabiela - overall probably the best feedback we had in a while on a record to be honest.. all great for our kids at the detroit youth foundation where the mothership label donates 100% of profits! also, special thanks to matt colton at air studios, london for donating a mastering session for free to cut this record and support our school.

geno records first release comes to you from belgium based dan d. dan comes from a traditional of both classical and jazz traditions. dan also developed a love of latin dance in his youth. once moving to berlin in 2001, dan was further influenced by the house sounds of the original panorama bar. dan himself has continued on to dj some of berlins best parties/venues including beatstreet, watergate, arena, maria, and the new panorama bar. club der visionäre has also been very important to dans musical growth. dan has had the opportunity to cut his teeth playing 10 hour marathon sets during his regular appearances since 2004. furthermore, he appeared in clubs like rote sonne (munich) and decadance (gent, belgium). friends like tobi neumann and dinky got him into production in 2003. dans first vinyl release on district of corruption lead to praise from some of the best djs in the business. the african market is quite an evolved sophomoric release for dan. the title track, african market, is a pulsating but stripped down organic percussive journey. afro-cuban rhythms lovingly exchange energy with warm analog synths and crisp techno electronic beats. the flip side, el baile, is a slow burning house jam. el baile features eerily reverberated studio recorded vuvuzela, crisply saturated jazz keys, and the same pumping afro-cuban rhythms that sets dans sound apart from others.

recorded in the winter/spring of 2009, first released in june 2009. at the time i called it my failed kompakt techno experiment, i started out with that minimal beat in mind but ended with something different. the title was the first thing i started with after watching some miss helen mirror on tv at the period, still love the title really. songs became longer and i discovered the delay while recording. this second record was the first one were i started settling on an sound of my own. some weeks after recording the screaming girls on the last track during their sunday afternoon youth group activity a baby fetus was found on their field with the mother being one of the girls
