mufo has garnered attention a few years ago with his c.l.a.u.d.i.a. 12-inch for kompakts k2 imprint, and sounds set to do so again with colors. anything but monochromatic, >one color< opens with stripped-down, tech-house swing before adding shuffling pulses and melodic accents that are both jittery and robotic. working itself up to a skittish, metronomic broil, the track exudes an android relentlessness that?s offset by repeated change-ups. on the b-side, di francesco brings the funk on >two colors<, six minutes of swizzling electro-techno whose palette is anything but muted. the tune squawks and sputters like some incessantly sneezing synthesizer apparatus in what could pass for a fractured 23rd-century techno take on zydeco. with this release in hands, its again proven without a doubt, that persistencebit continues the global hunt for quality. supported by: robert leiner (www.leinermedia.net): >good use of the korg wavestation on both< andrew duke (andrew duke in the mix radio brodcast since 1987): >excellent my favourite track is one color< ryaz khan (ww.chry.fm / myspace.com/diversionsradioshow): >solid release i love both cuts<xpansul (minus,plus 8 records): >two colors is great. thanks.<

hier steht der spass im vordergrund, bitte reinhören

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.

beautiful combination of house and folk music. on the flipside there s a haunting remix by kalabrese

cd format cocoon recordings presents q - the new edition of one of the longest running techno compilation series worldwide! we do not want to start again by mentioning how unbelievable it is that we have reached letter q already and we do not even want to imagine how fast we will probably arrive at xyz, if time continues to fly like this. the actual thrilling part of this compilation series is simply the fact that techno seems to not grow any older in this form - isnt this amazing? here, in the truest sense of the word, we have a compilation of timeless material before us. with a broad bandwidth ranging from futuristic-deconstructive compositions such as da dang by alex & digby and fragile by carlos nilmmns or the many contributions to q that fancy almost anachronistic acid and trance influences: everything sounds fresh and forward thinking!

it is almost hard to believe and we are looking for that wormwhole that brought us here as we are already looking at the arrival of compilation number * o *. and we rather do not start thinking about the endless wordplays we could do with the * story of o*, however we have to admit that this special * o-edition* comes with an extra portion of deepness, soul and yes, even sex

motorcitysoul are frankfurt veterans and deep house pioneers matthias vogt and christian rindermann (aka c-rock). a feast of lush melodies and harmonies, lovingly crafted beats and percussion, ambient excellence and smart vocal numbers. on the albums title c- rock explains: >its an elegant word that refers to the way we work and hopefully how our music sounds. were very technically focused yet we aim for our music to have genuine soul and warmth. we also do everything in the studio so technique is the key to that.< .the start/deliver me kicks off the journey into the motorcitysoul sound, enlisting the vocal talents of swedish vocalist ernesto to complement the soulful, summer-tinged house grooves. as the lush chords build and the vocals progress, its clear this uplifting opener is one thatll have you rolling down your car window with a smile on your face. >maybe its a risk to start a house based concept album with such a soulful track but we dont have to justify it, because of the soul in our name<, says c-rock wryly. >space kŠtzle< was originally a hit last year on aus music, >space cats< (as it translates) sees matthias and c- rock use their studio expertise to layer together lavish arpeggios and harmonies that treat you to an almost cosmic house voyage. solar is the first >ode to the cinema soundtrack< offering on the album and sees the guys get experimental in the studio with deep trippy keys layered with mad aquatic sounds. .c
