2002 classic by ian pooley aka john skipper trax!!! banging chi town style tech traxx!!

royal bangs are from knoxville. that in itself is a statement: theres not much that comes from knoxville, tennessees third largest city, and even less that gets away. quentin tarantino made it out, but the last citys mayor was allegedly so desperate to escape he now works as the us ambassador in poland. cormac mccarthy moved there as a child, of course, but by the time he d written his second book he was long gone. only johnny knoxville advertises his geographical roots, and quite clearly hes a glutton for punishment. so while just one of royal bangs currently has a passport, that doesnt mean they dont know that royal bangs is their ticket out of town.

alan abrahams, the man behind portable, emerged out of the ruins of a post apartheid south africa. growing up in an impoverished cape town township, tagged >beverly hills< by the locals, abrahams was always immersed in his sisters ritual of getting ready for a night out to a soundtrack of 80s soul, hi life and hip hop. inspired by the first batch of chicago house records, the foundations were laid for his future in music. experimenting with ways of combining traditional african rhythms with the 4/4 sound of house,abrahams completed various projects in south africa. most of which gave a commentary to the political turmoil of the country at the time. abrahams inevitably became frustrated by the geographic isolation of the country and relocated to london in 1997. in the uk abrahams went on to complete various releases for internationally recognised labels such as context and background records before starting up his own label, süd electronic in 2002

so give us a pat on the back: five years and still alive - maybe was a rule once, but not any more. the idea always was to leave our mark: this is our credo. and thus it is also continued in 2009 cheerfully. the first congratulations on the first part of the compilation series on the 5-year-old existence of the label comes from sweet n candy, with his first track on lebensfreude since his legendary multiplex ep. in addition best of hamburg - sven wegner, also since the day of birth in the house of lebensfreude. besides, label boss gunne in cooperation with spainsh hd substance. modern techno with an oldschool atmosphere. also there s a hope into the future: mariano dc from buenos aires allows to perk up our ears with his evidence of how a bassdrum is screwed in argentine main town

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.

schief, ironisch, aber immer wundersch?n: akustik-folk vom schlagzeuger der babyshambles.

on rodz-konez #4 makaton leaves his industrial ways to find some organic influences. this time its up to harvey lane (house of god / spunky town resident) to follow the darker path in his remix.

iron curtis pieces originate in a place simultaneously tuned to the sounds of detroit, chicago and hamburg. in his home town of nürnberg, johannes paluka is more familiarly known under his surname, which he goes by at the turntable. intertwining deep-house with soulful techno in a disturbingly enchanting manner, his sound moves in the equilibrium of reduced, but never minimal. flashes of kitsch brighten the dark universe of iron curtis, but fail to interfere with the melancholy subtext. profound music for the dance floor!

this obscure lost soundtrack for an even more obscure (and also lost and never finished) italia violenta cop movie was recently discovered when i bought the dusty reel tapes from a restaurant owner in fiumicino, a seaside town near rome. panter 777 aka il labirinto di roma violenta aka the maze of violence, he told me, was directed by gervasio giardano in 1981 and was considered too (politically) explicit by the movie production company who dropped the project after the first screening. the soundtrack, an explosion of wahwah funk riffs and juicy analog synthesizers, was composed by an obscure band called nacho patrol. the restaurant owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was one of the band members and composed most of the tracks.

similiar to some of sleeparchives tougher remixes, this is perfect for dark, scary dancefloors over on the wrong side of town

karateklub suprises with hugh tracks from jenn, fantastically remixed by rebekah (criminal/uk). with >cheeky<, jenn presents a groovy and much more minimal side then we allready heard on her last ep. suprising and reduced, her sounds looping up and down, embedded in a clonky basedrum structure. the remix, made by rebekah, well known from her releases on criminal records, is just fantastic and completes the ep brilliantly. she desinged a hugh groove and pushed it forward. by adding her ideas she creates an excellent new track. the interface original is specified by stomping and jigging beats, which get intermitted by smooth voices and melodies, before pushing it up again. these girls have it and paint the town red!

dj q is back after a four year break, and he delivers here perhaps some of his finest productions to date. dj q aka paul flynn, turned out some timeless music in the 90s for labels like filter, dance mania and glasgow underground, and was championed by artists such as carl craig and derrick carter. superclique is a refreshingly energetic deep house club track, with swinging beats and lush atmospherics, plus a great little vocal hook. blue chicago combines chi town rhythms and detroit musicality, with a heavy nod to the classic sounds of derrick may and carl craig, with enough wobbly minimalism to keep the, er, minimal massive happy.

some of the biggest names around on this first release for mindtravel

inner thoughts is a rolling acid track with off beat snares and broken hi hats while space disco is a deep detroit esque, mid tempo slice of electronic gem. sonja moonear (karat, katapult) has added her own dimension into the release, having reworked space disco into an obscurely deep, heavily bassed broken piece of dance floor wonder. also on remix duties, lasimo (senator/germany) has taken the original from down town detroit to a parisian night club, dropping the main acid line out but manoeuvring the percussive groove and gentle pads to an altogether new kind of experience.

part 2 of this - super package. producer/dj from cape town, mr elastik is the more minimal inspired alter ego of fidget dude the bulgarian!
