despite the advent and cari lekebusch being two of the most enduring names in techno, the release of sonic intervention is the most high profile product to date of a working relationship that has that has spanned almost the entire history of techno. something of a landmark for all concerned, not only is it the first full-length album from the advent since 2005 s t.r.i.n.i.t.y long player for berlin s tresor records but for h-productions and its founder, the project is the highlight thus far of the labels resurgent release schedule. as lekebusch commented, to have known and respected cisco and his music or so long it was of course a great moment to get to release this album. the blend of old and new styles with high caliber the advent production has created a strong album with depth and variety that i think new and old fans alike will really enjoy .

new label from berlin - who could that be?

ron carroll & (byron stingily) - two legends from the early house era. their voices have been an instantly recognizable signature on countless records from that time. these two heroes are back now with paskal & urban absolutes. the duesseldorf / berlin-duo has been busy in the studio for the last few months working on new tracks and remixes.

as the title suggests the new before the show album depicts beginnings and endings. we believe that life has many different beginnings and endings, and that the various journeys we take from one beginning to one end are filled with detours – and it is these detours which continually shape and define us as the people we are. musically years&years&years picks up where hearts and heads left off, however, it has developed towards a bigger and more complex sound image. it can best be described as a combination of sting and peter gabriel on one hand, and smashing pumpkins and radiohead on the other.

jack dixon follows a string of critically acclaimed releases for apollo (r&s), take and losing suki (hypercolour) with his debut outing for hotflush. influenced by the sparse atmospherics of wolfgang voigt, the playful intricacy of autechre beats and the off-kilter grooves of uk garage, the berlin-based producer is unconstrained by genre or place, pioneering a modern, progressive sound that has already garnered him a glowing reputation. in turns colourful, ambient, melodic and driving, his new ep feels right at home on scubas label. beginning with a deceptively clean and minimal rhythm, >e< slowly gives way to lush glacial drones, skittering beats and huge euphoric drops to form a bold production that sits somewhere between the early morning techno dancefloors of berlin and the murky sweatbox raves of late-night south london. on the flip, he delivers the soulfully taut >find shelter<. warped vocals weave in and out of an insistent, jazzy house groove, backed by a tapestry of glitches, vinyl crackle and live drum flourishes. it all leads to one of the most delirious and ecstatic drops you will hear this year.

the next musical offering from no.19 comes in the form of robot heart. a record almost destined to be a classic before its creation. this is the same robot heart that burners chase through the desert on bikes deep into the playa to partake in one of the worlds most enigmatic events. it s been praised by the likes of rolling stone magazine as one of the best parties on earth and continues to top the lists of dj s lucky enough to play atop the legendary mobile soundsystem..

the new bomb on echocord colour comes from nick höppner and scott monteith aka deadbeat. this is the first ep by nick höppner on echocord colour. nick is maybe most known as being the manager of one of berlins most infamous record labels, ostgut-ton, höppner may not always receive the same lavish praise as ostgut artists like ben klock, shed and marcel dettmann, but there is an argument to be had that he is the best of the bunch. höppner only releases sporadically, but whether it is solo or alongside lee jones as mymy, his records are always remarkable. the 2 tracks for this release are both peaktime tracks. deadbeat did the remix.

for the first solo ep on horror boogie, fedka the irritant steps up, after his outstanding track on horror boogie 01. fedka the irritant is probably best known as the trombonist in the excellent band pest (ninja tune), alongside ben pest (panic bridge, victim, bonus round). he is also a seriously original and versatile producer in his own right. he has released on panic bridge, alongside the other pest members and his trombone techno live sets are something to behold. here, he drops four varied tracks, starting with the behemoth >words for friends<. a heavy slice of wonky techno, with a big kick and rasping synth. next up is one uncertain eyebrow. a building, funky, fuzzy acid-laced track that drops harder and harder as it goes on. on side b, calypso-flavoured, jazzed up >stick it< progresses on to a become a warbling bass effort with a smooth hip-hop vocal. last but not least, is >you only die once<, another funk-laden monster, with a killer slap bass line.
