brand new imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed sleazybeats blog. they ve made a predictably smart move for their debut release by enlisting the services of canadian beatdown disco don eddie c. eddies profile has been on the rise since his magnificent debut record on jisco music. recent releases on wolf music, flashback and seven inches of love cemented the canadian beatsmiths reputation for crafting some of the finest mid tempo disco and electronic funk around. sleazy beats recordings have managed to snap up some of eddie cs finest work to date. from the gloriously deep & dreamy 9 minute space cadet to the heavy slo mo funk of get down and finally the discofied vocals in one with the stars. an impressively high quality all rounder of an ep.

label chief guy gerber returns with a stunning 12 inch double ep on his own >supplement facts records<. all seven original mixes in this release were written and produced during the summer of 2009 and each one captures a particular aspect of this period for guy. summer time meant busy time this year! apart from touring and being based in ibiza for his weekly residence at space, guy managed to find studio time to work on his album (scheduled for 2010) and this release. my invisible romance is an intimate glance into the seemingly borderless music production world of guy gerber. whilst delivering gerbers signature production style this release also surprises with its romantic elements and as usual he teases the listener with his trademark dream-like adaptations. the inspiration for this release came from guys regular performances and majorly from the time spent on the road- as a guest artist in friends studios and from his work in >improvised studios<. >my invisible romance< is a release close to guy gerbers chest, filled with emotions and surprises- a truly intimate collection of musical works

sahin meyers offering comprises 2 very techno-dub influenced deep-house tracks. remixes of >world cup of the future< come from berlin-native eva be, who might be known for her previous work on best seven/ sonar kollektiv and jacek sienkewicz of techno-fame. and now: kickoff

world renowned bbc radio 1 dj gilles peterson compiles a spectacular collage mix tape from the vaults of far out recordings for this fifteenth anniversary celebration. a close friend to joe davis for 25 years, gilles peterson has been a constant supporter of the original and best uk based brazilian record label.

s.c.u.m. is back and with a plate that ll rock you right off your socks! none other then zero g has been selected to drop his long lost ransom tune that has been cained by almost all the bigshots and even was featured in ruskos essential mix! now this tune finally sees the light of day and ready to rock the dance floors on a global scale. dj nicon of rotterdams subway crew was big fan of this tune from the start and was surprised this never got a release. so naturally this got scooped for his personal scum imprint asap! and of course no release is finished without a suitable b side so flip it over for scorpion! a brand new club banger that delivers the dubstep sound ever so crispy! if your into the heavy side of dubstep then get on this!! play support: skream, benga, walsh, marlow, seven, 501, reso, matt-u etc.

mike minds only previous release, >acid machine<, has been tigas most played record since it was made. a full-time turbo employee, he has spent the past few years getting his brain around making techno, and continues to impress us with his output. his debut ep, >resonate<, is something of a departure for our label, and one we are very proud of.
its amazing to have this kind of music coming directly out of turbo hq, it nails a sound that we have always tried to cultivate. minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, and with just enough analog imperfection and warmth to it.
both of the remixers we chose represent different sounds in techno that have influenced mikes sound.
1: sophisticated italian groove*
giorgio gigli is an italian minimal-trance maestro, an incredibly modern renaissance man who is also a trained sommelier.** he is rising in the ranks and catching up in profile to his occasional production partner, donato dozzy. hopefully we will have more of his tracks on turbo soon.
2: m¦n¦m¦l
hobo is a fellow canadian best known for his excellent work on m¦nus. rumor has it, he borrowed richies quad-macro template file to finish the final version of this remix... whatever he did, his second effort came up huge, this mix is excellent.
enjoy!
thomas von party
* i have to include the word groove in every turbo onesheet i write, its either that or washing my hands constantly.

this is the last chapter of the three-part series >join the resistance< by 22 year old tim toh. the circuit is closing with two more deep and sparkling house gems and this young producer again scores with a fresh and forward thinking sound. >six< on the a-side is an epic house anthem: charming organ layers over funky percussion grooves with a stomping kick and smooth strings arrangements…pure sunshine! on the flip >seven< starts with a contained jazz atmosphere then surprisingly changes into a straight but in a way psychedelic house tune…join the resistance! thanks for purchasing a real copy!

egbert van der gugten gehört derzeit zu den vielversprechendsten holländischen talenten im feld der elektronischen tanzmusik. jeroen verheji alias secret cinema, der auf egbert via myspace.com aufmerksam geworden war, lud ihn im vergangenen jahr kurz entschlossen zu seiner party-reihe und in sein studio ein und ebnete damit egberts weg in die holländische techno-szene. nach dem maxi-debüt auf lo-fi stereo war es dann vor allem seine vlammen-ep auf michel de heys ec records aus dem februar 2009, die auf den tanzflächen wie eine bombe einschlug und fest zu sven väths platteninventar in dieser season gehörte. mit >vreugdevuur< setzt egbert da noch eins oben drauf mit einem maßstab setzenden ausrufezeichen in sachen harmonischem und doch konsequent forderndem techhouse zwischen dub, progressive house und detroit. der subsonische bass rund um das zentrale orgelmotiv wird euch in diesem spätherbst zwischen tanzen und träumen ein treuer wegbegleiter sein, versprochen! einen anderen klanglichen ansatz verfolgt indes die flipside >groots uitpakken< mit seinem ungemein energiegeladenen soundgewitter, ein nächtlicher trip durch zeitlupen-vokalfetzen, dem stringbreaks eine unwiderstehliche hypnotische sogwirkung verpassen

lee curtiss and spectral sound have been running in the same pack for years-&#64257,,nally, after suf&#64257,,ciently circling each other and snif&#64257,,ng each others business, spectral and lee have joined forces to release the detroit producers the black door ep, and it s a doozy. lee curtiss traf&#64257,,cs in airtight, undeniable dance tracks with a tricksters sense of experimentation-the black door ep is all that and more, a beguiling 12 inch whose charms multiply with each listen. >black door beauty< opens side a with a touch of chicago futurism, spinning congas, staccato vocal samples, and a swift dusting of hi-hats into a house anthem with psychedelic undertones. berlin producer dyed soundoroms remix minimizes the sub-bass thump and plays up the tracks oddball trappings, tricking out >black door beauty< with the sounds of creaking hinges, neurotic synthesizers, and a particularly creepy chorus of hysterical tittering. b-side >smoking mirrors< guides the listener through clouds of melting organ tones and busy, polyrhythmic click-clack as a sturdy bassline (with a funky, french-house beat skip) cuts through the haze. curtiss lets the rhythm do the work, building to multiple climaxes in the span of seven minutes. at the end of each anxious buildup, there s a womans breathless moan, a let-the-air-out-of-the-tires hiss, and it s time to do it all over again.

pt 2 of our very limited (500 copies) vinyl version of this great label retrospective... so much good music on here! comprehensive balihu compilation with tracks from daniel wang et al.

so the story goes: a few years ago i played a cool underground party in stockholm with my good friend and crazy record collector mark seven. early on that night mark played me this beautiful and melancholic piece of music. mark happily handed me his spare copy and my record collection for a second felt a little more complete… originally released as a b side track to als slipshod ep on out of the loop the track continued to mesmerize whenever i played it and the fact that so many people loved it and equally as many didnt know the record i though a re release could be a great idea. its inclusion on gerd jansons recent sonar kollektiv compilation and the fact that its been played by legendary dj harvey ( o bearded one as hes known to by the initiated) has obviously helped to spread its fame to. the previously issued part 1 with the original and bogdan irkük remixes has gone down a storm with all the cool movers and shakers... oh yeah baby. now its time for the last chapter with equally mindboggling gatto fritto remix, mark sevens version and my own just plain silly rework. toodle oooo, thomas(oslo, 7th of august 2009)

2002 debut album by sweet norah jones!!

stealing thunder so you move that ass, the duo dubbed thunderheist unleashes serious electrocrunk boom bap. ribcage-rattling bass breaks laced with proper rhyming are flipped with digital booty bass, 80s-inspired electronic pop and slowed down southern bounce, all fresh-dipped in serious swagger. mc and singer isis and producer grahmzilla know how to bring it. and once they ve brought it, it stays brung. >torontos shit-hot electro duo< (nme.com) are already a huge online phenomenon, but this first full taste of their forthcoming album comes courtesy of nasty mix records in canada. catchy, propulsive, ecstatic and uncompromising, it s party music of the highest order, utterly unique but sounding like its been in your head all along.

voyage direct is tom tragos long awaited follow up to his first ep on rush hour >live with the bbq<. this seven track mini-album shows his diversity within the genre. it reaffirms that house music can still be sexy, deep, raw, emotional and passionate. the package includes the promo released >passion< plus a host of new tracks. highlights could be the raw >on the side< or the swing of >brothers of string<, but in fact every track is a highlight in its own right. together they make this a complete package. a must have for any house connoisseur.

the first new release from the legendary detroit techno label mechanisms industries since 2004! to start off this new partnership, we offer a very special remake 12inch project from germanys own cult heroes, obscurum. the project consists of remakes of the ultra rare definitive hard techno track dom, originally released on e-com recordings in 1997. obscurum first appeared on mechanisms industries with a ground breaking 12inch called subtle changes. catalog: m1978 and we are proud to release this new project. artist involved in the 12inch release include: exium: nheoma, planet rhythm. reeko: mental disorder, planet rhythm, emergence, and mechanisms industries owner, fanon flowers: warm up, numb.

besides the sublime original version, the >bloodstream ep< also features three exclusive new mixes, each teasing out the songs grace and power in vivid and unexpected ways. the berlin-based producer and remixer henrik schwarz, one of germanys most respected djs, brings his trademark love of jazz and deep house to two separate versions.
schwarz s club mix re-engineers the track as a sleek dance tune, speeding up chris vocal into a restless, nervy, emotionally naked torch song. his dub version, meanwhile, builds into a hypnotic instrumental collage of bubbling beats, twinkling pianos and elastic basslines. at over seven minutes long, not a second is wasted.
by contrast, the chic parisian re-edit maestro pilooski strips the track down into a cubist collage of rhythmic throbs and sparkles, with a staccato piano melody pulsing through it like a heartbeat. it s a playful and vibrant fusion, where soul-baring yorkshire poetry meets sleek french disco chic.

after six years exploring music production in an extended meaning, oscarfly decides to go into the professional field and starts a new project with his friend and colleague zippitcher.they ve been working in projects like www.colorsopenlabel.com a netlabel website designed to promote young promises in the music business. as well in the www.putocolectivo.com a group of musicians, sound designers and video artist who played for a couple of years in barcelona and around. soon after that, they decide to create their own record label >poco< (powered by colorsopenlabel.com) in order to release their best tracks, col s artist tracks and even well know artist tracks. first release of this new label born in barcelona emanate freshness, sexy grooves and these beautiful colors that people love so much at the dance floor. this first work includes a great remix of mihalis safras.

listeners who are familiar with the ex-bizarre inc and chicken lips man s previous material will know exactly what to expect from andy meecham s latest record. the staffordshire-based producer wears his penchant for vintage analogue synthesizers firmly on his sleeve, creating a melange of hard-hitting disco beats and throbbing cosmic melodies. entitled space beyond the egg, the album sees meecham exploring a few new territories, with the swinging kananana even featuring a catchy vocal hook, marking it out from his previously instrumental solo material. prepare yourself for plenty of strutting and shuffling percussion as well as mindbending synth workouts that should send you firmly into space when the record drops in june.

duff mckagan. a man with a big reputation through his involvement with major bands. guns n roses and velvet revolver...you know the drill. but this isnt about mega headlines, superstar status and volcanic ego mania. loaded isnt a band merely to fill in time, to allow the famed bassist to massage a hyper publicity drive. this is all about music!

the 2009 sonic youth album on double vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

the chicks have been busy in the last 2 years, filming video, making art installations, girl monster extravaganzas, reading books, exhibiting all over the planet, making patchwork fashion collections (for insight, crystal ball and yoox.com), building high heeled shoe guitars, high tech super suits that trigger sound and video and other objekt instruments ... and they even found the time to make this new record!

together through life is bob dylans upcoming 33rd studio album (around his 60th album if you count official live albums and compilations). dylan produced the record under the pseudonym of jack frost, which he used for his previous two studio albums, love and theft and modern times. dylan revealed that the new record was heavily influenced by the sound of chess records and sun records. in an interview on his website bobdylan.com, the 67 year old singer compares the sounds of together through life, to the 1950s sounds of blues singers willie dixon and howlin wolf. dylan has a tough record to follow after his 2006 release modern times won two grammys and became his first number one record in the u.s. since 1976.

shit hot release from the super consistent sex tags crew !! footnotes was the bergen, norway based label run by bjørn torske with only two releases, the late 1997 house classic and collectors item “haribo” by erot and the way too underrated dub-house 12” “farlig fiffus” by krisp. in 2002 the laqcuers for the third release were cut and all ready for the press, but for some obscure reason it never made it to the actual pressing. in the end lacquers were demolished and the mastertape got lost. several years later the mastertape showed up in a tower of old tapes and mastercuts. recovered by the sex tags mania crew, now seven years after it’s origibnal releasedate, doc l junior’s two classic and brilliant house and disco tracks are ready for a proper release. as a tribute, a longing for old days, sex tags mania will releases footnotes 3 in april 2009..

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.<

moody house music with a sexy touch, made by laurent collat aka elegia for f-com in 2003.

if there s one lesson we have learned from 2008, it s that techno is not nearly creepy enough. on creep ep, germany s kevin over injects pitch-black dread into the heart of his distinct brand of techno. steamrolling bass-lines, droplets of toxic rain, and ghostly sirens all coalesce into swinging, propulsive grooves that stretch into a never-ending night. mr. over demonstrates his knack for creating arrangements that are both melodious and spacious, crafting an almost seven minutes ride through some of the most banging and infectious techno tracks to date, not to mention some dubby business on surge that would leave lee perry envious. at its most compelling, creep ep paints a picture of a raging warehouse party at the edge of your wildest dreams. including killer remixes by pascal vert and john lagora

following the overwhelming feedback about our first release, we proudly present to you the renaissance ep by berlins honesty (known for his work with daniel paul as slope on sonar kollektiv).

repress: debut solo album from karin dreijer andersson (singer of the knife).

moeller s third, already highly anticipated ep for third ear, following the jazz space ep (3eep-068) and the one man s junk ep (3eep-088).once again we have selected 4 cuts of varying mood and intensity to create an ep offering many possibilities for the dj and a rewarding home listening experience. a1 - traffic (new wipers mix) is a driving wide-screen track which will turn the dancefloor into a heaving mass of frequencies and beats. this is close to a peak-time track. this is a high intensity track that holds the vibe in a state of impending release underpinned with a deep, open groove. 126bpm. a2 - slight transition takes the vibe very deep and keeps it there. a simple (genuinely less is more) drum pattern of a lightly hit snare drum, hi-hat and occasionally shaken guiro over a hypnotic bass pattern, hold the track in place for nearly seven minutes. a masterful control of tension offering the dj a number of options for where to take the dancefloor from this moment s respite. 119bpm.
