both tracks written and produced by chris liebing at studio one. (a1) supported by ali (deepdish)!! the a-side >bangpop< is at first obviously driven by a central bassdrum. little by little, it steps into the background and makes room for the fine and striking, hypnotic sequences. that sounds good already, but gets polished by a snaredrum that simply makes you happy. a little hit? we wouldn t be surprised. on the b-side we are facing >puckelbop<, a 12 minutes long monster. a good example for how efficiently a bassdrum and a sequence can clear an aisle into a forest. no tree will remain standing – theyll move! clr20

monster!! the a side of this new drumcode 2 tracker produced by belgian artist ortin cam could possibly become the biggest harder techno record of the year. it is simply twisted in the way that it builds towards a massive mid break point, continues to build in intensity and then a gut wrenching rave hook comes from nowhere to blow you away. this then warps and pitches up until the drop back when crowd responses that weve witnessed have been nothing short of demented

big berghain sure-shot ! striking again from the mountains of nagano, japan jerome sydenham and hideo kobayashi (nagano kitchen), serve up a sizzling ep. the track >gsxr 810< is straight up techno beef stew! where as >no traffic in nagano< goes deeper with humping beats and sultry overtones. last but not least >climbing tateshina< is simply driving with many intricate layers that really do take you on that journey. enjoy!

first single from the stunning hunterville long player from rodney hunter. guest remixes by the neighbouring germans adds to the rightfully expected release on this 12inch. man of the moment christian prommer takes wanna groove on the more gentle percussion trip at first that simply builds and builds into a classic education process. elegant programming as you would come to expect from voom voom/fauna flash/trüby trio team member. it ends at just over ten minutes but the ride spanned a minor evolution in techno terms. wahoo boys, aka georg levin & steffen berkhahn bring back some of the bounce and shuffle and a tambourine shake or two. again, these guys know a thing or two about moving feet and hips and making people heat up their body temperatures.

what do you get when two international top artists meet? fireworks! for the first release on the brand new sinuz label peter luts teams up with house dive barbara tucker. one is the kind of catchy house tune that spreads so much energy that you simply have to start dancing! no wonder it was chosen to be the anthem of brandnew antwerp based club noxx, where peter has a weekly residency. other remixes are delivered by dizkodude, dj ward and peter luts himself.

with tuomas salmela aka phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish techno and house producers, with releases on 2020 vision, poker flat, moodmusic or f-com-munications. salmelas sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. he does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks n cuts or doing too much sound research. phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that dont need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. similarly to guy gerber, phonogenics productions also are somewhere in between techno and houseand even use elements of trance. however, salmelas productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody

an incredible full album from dinosaur l the legendary new york dancefloor project of arthur russell! the groups a punky, funky, chunky amalgam of bass thumping, guitar riffing, keyboard filling, and sax honking all very much in the spirit of russells best quirky club work of the time, but with the added sound here of a more expanded approach one that takes the tunes in a whole new territory than the more famous 12 inch singles! the tracks on the set are simply numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on and come across almost as free jamming instrumentals! totally great stuff as experimental as it is funky!

adam beyers drumcode imprint is about to go through something of a rennaissance with some simply sublime material about to hit the streets this autumn/winter. traditionally his labels would always have a very swedish bias - something which has now opened up to include new exciting producers from further afield. one of these producers who adam greatly admires is perc who has delivered this devastating 3 tracker for drumcode. perc has his own label perc trax and his recent remix of dj hell on kickin records was a firm favourite in adams sets for many months….

its been a productive month for the mood ii swing boys. the follow up to last months passing time, a collaboration with vocalist lauren, is a fantastically deep disco record that moves and shakes along with the best of them. the bouncy, wobbling bassline of the main mix simply demands to be grooved to, while laurens husky vocal glides along the airy pads and cheeky synth stabs. the dub foregoes the bassline of the original, opting instead for a more top heavy sound and taking the record in a pleasantly techy direction

>baby show up< shows olivers strength in crafting a vivacious floor-rocking beat, with a deeply cavernous kick and sharp stabs forming the groove before simply gripping synth melody gives the track a sparsely wistful atmosphere. as the bass bounces the track along, a precisely executed break leaves no doubt as to the peak-time quality inherent in this production. >baby show up – elegant universe remix< demonstrates the appropriate name of these young remixers, with a track that falls nothing short of a nearmasterpiece. textured melodic soundscapes float gently over an entrancing and slowly lumbering bass-kick combo, purveying a level of passion rarely found in such a graceful piece

canadas last step unleashes his debut album called simply last step. these tracks are all created using original analogue equipment like the roland 303, 606, 707 and jupiter etc. they do not know much about last step as he only communicates with me anonymously and via vocoder. all his royalties (if he ever makes a profit) are destined for the st. bernadettas synth hospital.

fresh hot booty from the pimps! johnny cash s version of depeche mode! simply magnific

mr. hawtin, locodice and the whole minus bunch is simply loving this one !!

goodlife, gigolo, hot banana or turbo are just four of the countless labels, where kiko has released some of his most eclectic productions. now it’s time for him to rock huntemann’s confused label. his sound is always trenched with electro, ebm and intergalactic disco elements - a certain ratio of retro. faces of life is no exception from this rule. saw-tooth basses a raw drumming and spaced out melodies pave the way for this rave club weapon from the outer rim of uranus. galaxia is another example for his approach towards electronic dance music – comparable to the dutch legend legowelt he simply knows about the analogue sound world. this is a big rock band shrivelled into a moog space ship

"dust science returns with fresh blood for 2007 on the faith is fear ep. weve been fans of fabrice lig for years her at dust. hes released an avalanche of great techno on classic labels such as kms, 7th city, fcomm and playhouse and hes done us produ with his first release for us. "access denied" is a surging, swinging, darkside monster thats relentlessly tricky and funky. the detroit pads are seriously tripped out and swamped in glitchy beats and stepping hi-hats, and theres some serious low end; its a hell of a track. regis and female are responsible for some of the best uk techno ever made. here they contribute c/chaos; performed live at the orbit in leeds, its simply massive, propelled by downward twisting strings and utterly slamming, intoxicating electronic rhythms. techno luminaries the 65d mavericks are renowned for their driving but innovative techno. "wiretap" is well up to their high standards."
