ltd backstock !!! label chief and king of nyc late night mythology, francois k returns with a bit of his patented deep space madness. starting with a tempo reminiscent of a 45 played at 33 1/3, a delicate plucked bell-synth bathed in a medium hall reverb leaves ethereal impressions and late night energy. as the melody drops a minor third, another enchanting counter melody joins the mix and adds a rather divine legato styling. after the lead fades out, a percussive interlude full of syncopated noise hits develops: leaving room for a break that reintroduces the main vibe and instills a sense of resolution. the flip carries a remix from quiet village, who has been starting deep space nights with positively solid performances. taking a more club-hyped approach, this rework pounds forward with a massive rumbling kick drum and an underlying noise wash. the main lead gets some serious filter and delay treatment making for a more progressive drive and a versatile dancefloor hook. tweaking things a bit at the break, the melody morphs into a sort of latin-minded groove with portamento glides, edited accents and sharper hits. still keeping the passion and charm alive, the new demise accents francoiss tasteful tune while boasting contemporary excitement

in contrast to a recurring theme of uninviting releases by labels that seem to offer tracks- so easy to digest they get lost with an un-inspiring and flat feel, the collaboration of hermanez and ramom tapia is a coupling of dark moods and techy deepness, listen even deeper and you?l find a wealth of detail stuffed full of mythical rides push an organ into a dark corner and have it brutally assaulted by a groove-hungry gang of latin approved drums and the outcome is pretty much that of miconns second release. syncopated sturdy percussion and hi hats sit amongst a spring-loaded beat whilst lazy organ keys relax the pace

another 2 great artists featured on naked lunch records. mark williams is one of the most respected artists from the uk. he is truly a veteran, and he has paid his dues over more than two decades on the scene as a dj and producer. he released a staggering catalogue of quality tracks on some of the most respected techno labels in the world including: tortured, dark house, pure plastic, phont, primate, and carl cox?s ultimate trax imprint, to name a few. this time on naked lunch, he delivers 2 huge tunes, funky & hypnothic just how we like it. at this moment axel karakasis is internationally recognized as the best known greek techno dj for his full of energy 3 decks sets and featuring rigorous musical selection that portrays his style.after many years of hard work in the studio and together with spiros kaloumenos he launches omega audio recordings. having made omega audio a very respected label in the scene, axel is now channelling all his energy into his own brainchild, remain records. for naked lunch he specially prepared tetris & rebellion, both beeing played out by many djs, receiving great feedback.

one of technos most diverse and prolific producers ‘mark broomis back again to demonstrate the definition of dub techno. this is a purist record through and through that unashamedly harks back to the classic chain reaction and basic channel sound, something that the world and its djs crave endlessly, and rightly so. all four cuts sail forth in calm warmth and steady bass, massive reverbs and echo are worked intermittently lifting everything upwards like a strong cosy breeze. the listener is forcibly bounced up and down in a gentle fashion, (we would expect nothing less than gentlemanly behaviour from broomer) and through proper application of decibels a full cellular body massage can result. this is essential dub for the techno journeyman out there. not only great to listen to, but also a helping hand with your exfoliation routine.

a new killer selection from the dclassics crew vault... another 4 tracks to die for in their rare original versions, gently and respectfully remastered for full jazz dance classics decerning dancefloor action... maybe the rarest release so far for the soul all timers... impossible to find sweet popcorn part1 and 2 pasted together for incredible drumbreak thru original moog filters action. on the bside, and for more drumsound, we ve choosen to release the killer atmospherique jazz drum number hallucinogene, a beat diggers delight and very hard to locate these days. to top it up nicely, you ll get a psychedelic sitar dancefloor winner, and an amazing planet of the apes cover version for the headz.
