another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

here we have three tracks from the >some other country< album (k7 records 2007) smile and receive - roger 23 mix : featuring cassy (panorama bar) on vocals . remixed by the analog freak , roger 23 (playhouse /240 volts) hailing from deepest saarbrucken . super sub chicago house track , perfect for late night early morning playing .......pure analog heaven! imagine a morning at studio 54 projected into 2008 - wonky goodness. claktronic - experimental live percussion, flutes, and strange ramblings from the voice of daisy densham (aged 4) , add atmosphere to this swiss inspired house tune . why swiss you ask ? well i keep hearing cowbells! a very trippy vibe that gets into your brain, you will be hearing the loop all day. distress and calling - a blissful philip glass inspired sub bass growler , euphoric arpeggiated voices pad over the deep bass and tight snare drum , making up a fine ep of classic swayzak ........ the bigger the system the better this one sounds. crystal clear production all the way

monotone darker minimal techno by dj slip (parotic music/sub static)

this time its all dope ammos own work with >cold rock a party<, a track which will do exactly what it says on the tin, and >rumble< packed with plenty off sub-bass to do just that on the dancefloor

new sub label from membrane recordings, blues + acid! in a human world, even the machines get the blues. discarded debris turning backs on the dusty strewn mess of cables and circuits in the corners time passes with calloused wind. random ghosts from the mississippi delta to chicago seem to find their way into the dusty boxes. a temporary home to let loose and vent.

conforming to abnormality unveiled a style of extreme metal that was completely unique in its makeup: blending mind melting guitar technicality with inhuman drumming, a wildly schizophrenic vocal attack, smatterings of jazz sensibilities and devastating sub bass blasts.

sonotheque is david campanini and alexi dendias as a producer and live duo that already has released a couple of reputable records on tenax records and on their own label sunplay. >get in trouble< is the name of the first 12 produced for doxa records that reveals two tracks from their sonic laboratory in florence and one remix by akiko kiyama (contextterrior, safari, lick my deck). get in trouble on side a is a sensitively produced minimal house track driven by a positive sub feeling. circus fm and circus fm remix on the side b keep it funky, minimal, but have got more a trance spirit that leads directly into after hours.

siteholder sub-division, you get what you expect !!!

canadian label hotbox digital brings us adam k and addys superb >sub-cultured<. this collaboration is one not to be missed, adam ks signature subby bass lines and minimal groove, cross addys exceptional technique and >sit-up and listen< attitude. this is certainly a tune to keep dancefloors heaving and bouncing throughout the night. on the flip, we have >whatever<, a solo effort from adam, a more twisted and less minimal record, making the perfect compliment to sub-cultured.

straight up bent techno. a fierce jacking groove with an outrageous sub-bass element and awesome live drumming. this one has echoes of funky industrial stuff like nitzer ebb but is 100% of the moment.

killer modern house from depths of deep space. adam marshalls original mix takes swinging chicago drums and paints them a dark black, while chord stabs morph and evolve in a tough, organic style on this 11-minute journey. mike shannons impressive re-working tightens everything up and funks the hell out of the groove with sizzling dry hats, sub-bass ruminations, and one serious breakdown. one of his best remixes yet by far. both are serious club killers

taken from the upcoming mix cd!! already big with: stephan bodzin & dubfire oliver huntemann has been doing his thing for quite a while, under various guises, as dj and producer. since 1995 he has been running the confused rec. label (plus sub-labels). >play! 01 live - sao paolo/brazil< in 2007 was the predecessor of his current mix album >play! 02 live - rex club/paris<. especially for this event oliver has produced a new single: >play! 02 ep - paris/la boum<. it seems that these two tracks are able to be the next big thing. already played by big names such as dubfire, stephan bodzin and many others!

the enigmatic bulletdodge brings forth their debut release by up and coming glasgow dj/producers loweck, glasgows well known remixer electro voodoo and chicago house legend gene hunt. the >misdirection ep< is an exciting release that conveys vibrant techno magic. the first track to dawn the wax is lowecks original mix, which is a certain floor filler that drives with a dark bassline and explodes with an exciting arpeggio that will cause a frenzy on any dancefloor. track two is electro voodoos mix which is a more deep dubby mix that delivers a more layed back intelligent techno feel. the e.p. culminates with gene hunts mix which, fuses the essence of the original mix with a sub bass line and minimal bleepy effects to create a killer remix. the e.p. has been supported by terrence dixon and k alexi and is set to be a great success in 2008!

uks ben wijay starts canute music, a sub-label of phreakin recordings displaying his more adventurous techno and tougher house music concoctions. bringing a slightly harder feel than the phreakin output, but remaining left of centre with quirky melodies groovy percussion. >poisoned potato< starts in dark techno waters with a deep acid bass line, then blossoms into almost border community territory with anthemic distorted chords and quirky breakdowns.>feke< delves deeper with an arrangement that goes from hauntingly minimal into an aggressive staccato riff, then morphing back into itself with deeper melodies. definitely aimed at the 3am dance-floor and will appeal to lovers of the detroit techno sound through to the more obscure villalobos territory. gathering big support from the likes of charles webster, john aquaviva, aldrin and mixmags >house single of the month< (feb 08)

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

inxec (contexterrior) & jpls (minus) remixes !! the dark and twisted throb of inxecs >poisoned truffle< remix of >fungi< hits you with a sub low bassline that rocks back and forth building into a pulsating infectious beat. on the flip side, m_nus stalwart jpls has evolved >the misidia monarchy<, stripping it down to its bare essentials with a series of syncopated minimal beats creating a journey of funk with an intense military edge.

twice high quality dark atmospheric techno deepness. nebula is the more straight forward track, thick pounding rhythm and vibes make it ending up somewhere between mills & maurizio, raw straight techno. estuary gives some deeper dubby vibes. revived is the delsin sub-label ann aimee! once again outlet for the more experimental sides of delsins electronic music. after the superb fine release by james kumo, another fine debut ep. this ep is done by delta funktionen, who goes in real life by the name of niels luinenburg. 23 years old - living in the northern part of holland. hes inspired by maurizio, basic channel, convextion, carl craig, steve rachmad, jeff mills, robert hood and others. the superb artwork is done by another delta, namely delta inc

elons latest release on clink is another peak minimal groover, properly set to kick off their 2008 catalogue! these tunes are a great addition to the label, following the compelling tripped out burners from the afternoon coffee boys and camea at the end of last year. noose is a fantastic extension of these releases and will appeal to the techno, minimal and techhouse folk. elons unique sound and courageous combination of these three sub genres make him one of new yorks most interesting new producers, and he has become an established and valued contributor to this imprint.

on this release carsten franke comes with more reduced minimal techno, styled up with some detroit chords and melodic electro-pop elements!! again on the remix-side we have our ostwind friend john spring from sub static records. he turned carsten s ramba samba in a more peaktime friendly and more topical & hypnotical techno version. all in one a solid timeless minimal techno to techhouse four tracker...

in 2007 tom dazing established himself as one of the most up and coming artists of belgium. at just 21 years of age he can count richie hawtin, josh wink, james zabiela, marco bailey, ambivalent, gabriel ananda, seth troxler, dominik eulberg, skoozbot and many more to his supporters. toms first heimatmelodie-ep was sold out after 3 days so its about time for more insane minimalism! the ep is opened by >sweet lady luck smiles<, a deep and dark sub-bass-mover featuring one of the filthiest synths you ever heard. quite contrary is >pun intended<, a quirky and uplifting party-mover destined to cause major damage on your primetime-dancefloor. the b-side offers 2 deeper tracks, the original of >visually hungry< is a hypnotic and slowly building groove-track, while arnaud le texier delivers a truly mental and dark technointerpretation. toms trademark outstanding sound quality shines through on all the tracks and finally turns this package into a musthave. all tracks written and produced by tom van der kelen

hyperdub kick off 2008 they way they intend to proceed, with new tracks from a new artist. on her debut release, ikonika comes with her own very unique, warped yet soulful bleep sound. with shape shifting beats that switch styles every few bars its hard to pin these two tracks down... cos if it was easy, it just wouldnt be hyperdub. both tunes are one minute minimal, one minute maximal, driven along by ikonikas special combination of wonky synth and deep swingin sub bass melodies that place them somewhere between an early, blocky grime instrumental and the sweeter side of detroit techno ? except with better bass of course! who needs a vocalist when your synth can sing like this? quite how kode9 manages to keep unveiling new producers of such abundant talent is a conun drum, but one to be cracked some other time when we?re not so busy keeping up with his astonishing labels ceaseless march into the future.

now, after almost a whole year martin moeller strikes back with his second release on aspik. cool sub-heavy minimalism two tracker
