a decade usually consists of ten pieces, years or days. the decade of techno comprises of 10 releases made by 9 carefully selected producers who shaped the last ten years of techno with their unique sounds. looking back at the last 10 years, techno made a thoroughly multifaceted development. new styles developed out of the old ones, never losing sight of the main principle. this development will be reflected on the decade of techno series, whereas label owner kaoz attached importance to account for every facet of techno.

americas next generation of techno producers make their droid debut on this release. dustin zahn who has reincarnated himself from the stone cold sounds of labels such as compound to the powerful yet refined style of his current releases on drumcode and mindshake turns in one hell of a dark builder. analog god starts off with a sharp rimshot / snare combination then adds just the right amount of tresor style synth menace for a viciously addictive groove that doesnt stop kicking.

played by c-rock, d julz, gregor tresher, 2000 and one, minilogue and many more… like no other german producer, hannover-born martin buttrich has been decisively influencing the sound aesthetics of electronic dance music since the middle of the nineties. having been more in the background for most of the time while working for and with timo maas and loco dice among others, his benchmark releases for carl craigs label planet e or poker flat have also spotlighted his original name in the public. buttrichs second ep for cocoon couldnt prove better his prediction that in 2008, minimal techno will be containing more warm and melodic components. strangely familiar but always surprising, again and i lost my wallet provide us with bassprone reduction somewhere in between techno and house, and harmony bits that remind of caribbean calypso sounds provide the feeling of the approaching summer which makes both tracks perfect for the final of the open air season 2008. at least, buttrich will be an integral part of the season closing between ibiza main river and spree.

without a doubt, chicago native huge hephner has garnered quite the reputation as an international playboy - pimpin and whorin his way into the electronic music worlds stream of consciousness. however, behind the tough guy persona is a highly underrated producer with an unbridled passion for music and love of the analog gear he uses to produce such increasingly in-demand sounds. it is this perversion that lends meaning to the title of his debut album, nymphotech, released on none other than the label that helped launch his career, siteholder records. unflinching in its house vibe, yet relentless in its dance floor attack, nymphotech is a highly impressive debut album by a producer who continues to up his game with each successive release. hephner kicks off part one of a two-part vinyl album sampler with the chugging acid burner sharing the same title as the album. nothing less than 4 a.m. packed club material, to play nympotech at any other time would be a failure to recognize this bombs full potential. jack n coke is undoubtedly huges nod to his hometowns house legacy, showcasing a flirtatious bass line that screams funk in all caps. wheres the acid? fans of hephner might ask. leave that up to freaky $ean da don, featuring the vocal debut of huges body guard and reputed hitman who bears the same name as the tracks title. if nymphotech is any indication of whats to come from mr. hephner, we can only hope huge will manage to stay out of jail long enough to produce a follow-up

is there more to life than house music? for the swedish dj/producer mikael nordgren: probably not. since 2004, he has been steadily churning out some of the best future house tunes from his studio located in stockholm. his productions have been released under many aliases including dmalicious, 12th floor and for get physical under the mighty moniker of tiger stripes. the blacker the music, the sweater the sound. a potential anecdote that fittingly could have inspired mikael when he composed the warm and supple portion of detroit fueled funk that is, blackroom entertainment. yet another presentation of his programming prowess and ability to mold and mend melodies into a sophisticated groove. especially utilizing his signature catchy drums to get the vibe going, then introducing a melodic synth stab before the track takes you away with complex variations of rhythmic lead sounds. abacus may remind listeners of his stellar mad at me ep released last fall on get physical - albeit reformed with a more analog approach. springing tones get the groove rolling before it is taken over by a cabal of sci-fi sounds, at which point a thick, modulated analog bass sound ups the overall energy. the lack of audio imagery is little if none, as the sounds invoke so many moods, feelings and sensations that only a seasoned dj and knowledgeable producer could fabricate such a convincing theme. blackroom entertainment ep again showcases mikaels ability as a formidable contributor to house music

while for many of his contemporaries repetition became a new standard rather than innovation, jacek sienkiewicz with every release seems to be broading his musical horizons and challenging new territories. beacon seems to be even more organic than previous recognition releases, and the warm, yet unstoppable beat workout suddenly goes all jazzy and cinematic, with irresistible saxophone hook. big surprise here, but jacek blends the sounds into one of his trademark, 12+ minutes long, massive club anthem. another surprise is brought by the flipside - this remix is courtesy of the man of the moment michel bauman, here applying his soulphiction alter ego to dark, smoky and very tropical variation on a familiar theme. all over, another very impressive release from jacek sienkiewicz, man who never fails to impress.

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his superb debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year. the twelve pieces of minimal detroit sounds you are about to hear, were sent to us as one package. we were blown away and there was nothing else to do but surrender to its quality and sign them all. now join us…
