the synkope ep ushers in a new sound for mathias, one that is more full and less percussive than before yet also one that will not leave previous fans in the dark. taking his cue from his keen knowledge of the worlds dance floors, kaden translates this awareness straight on to vinyl without losing sight of todays complex sequences and sound structures. with the flood of faceless releases that threaten to sink even the most discerning record buyer theses days. there is a growing sense of urgency to make records that will remain classic and listenable even 10 years into the future. if you dont mind us saying we think this might just be one

remember the infamous scene from the movie deliverance? the one with the retarded kid and the grown man going all out in a play off, an acoustic guitar vs a banjo… anyway, lindstrom finally got around to play & record the banjo he bought in nyc last summer. it takes time to practise & learn to play the banjo. lindstrom needed a year to make the simple banjo-lick used on >the contemporary fix<, the 9th feedelity release. you might think the use of banjo, autoharp & clavinet together with acid squiggles on top of live disco-drums is a most unusual combination? well, here s the soundtrack to deliverance 2006

>em.pulse< is the long-awaited new release from hanaus most innovative and respected techno producer, d. diggler aka andreas muegge !! it is a appetizing work of staggering genius which forges a very different path from his 1999 debut 12 boogiemonster and his albums >feel my heat< and >atomic dancefloor<. where >feel my heat< was an exaggerated dub influenced collage which was mainly driven by post basic channel sound, >em.pulse< is deconstructing the history of techno and reassembled it into a breathtaking tangle of modern minimal sound..

mesak s 3rd twelve inch on dexter s own klakson records. one half of electro duo mr velcro fastener comes back with his solo project mesak. and brings probably his best release to date.. at least it is his most danceable release ever. our favorite is the jacking let get sum bang which rocks every club for sure!! the other tracks are more electrofied techno-ish tracks which reminds us of some classic carl craig work including the outstanding pak track. like all klakson releases this is another hot one. very much what we like!

dexter and marco passarani team up for one of the hottest releases on nature. kind of dexter meets passarani actually... chicago and detroit influenced trade mark tracks of passarani mixed with the razor sharp beats and phat basslines of dexter. the original version is probably the most advance mix with it sharp beats and funky basslines. the dexter mix is kind of minimal techno-ish funk or something, and the passarani mix is an excellent rocking chicago influenced house/techno track. very strong cuts which are allready rocking the dancefloors

classwork is the very own label by one of our favourite italian s : diego montinario aka. >sandiego< better known as half of >boggie drama< on wasnotwas or >sachi and sandiego< on 20:20 vision. diego favours one real alternative to the frickelfrackle miniclicking today scene. sparkling, dubby kick ass real house, slightly hallucine but full of air and boogiefunk and most of all a dry no nonsense killer production. or in other words - sandiego s tracks fill up the room in minutes - put the volume up and get sucked into - it. tip

if there is one overall trend to spot in the wide fields of electronic music over the last years, it is the reversion to emotion. in a time where tracks are becoming more and more anonymous tools, melodies, references to pop music and recognition are seen as a design element and not as a blemish. to be honest, this recurrence was desperately needed, because music was always at best when feelings and not the mathematic of clicks were at the centre of attention. soda inc. reached this point of intersection already with their debut album >full moon< one and a half years ago. with intense anthems such as flight su 118 babak shayan and jon silva have created the deepest and most pictorial vision dub related techhouse had to offer to our hearts and souls. a solid basis to build up for the early summer of 2006....
