the enclave of both established artists and fresh undiscovered talent whose shared passion of deep underground detroit influenced house and disco are reflected in the quality output you will come to expect from the label. franc spangler, the revenge, zepp001, john daly, alpha child, 6th borough project, tuccifunk and pezzner are just some of the producers creating their work with tender loving care for delusions. dog01 will be setting the standard with the soul part ii from craig smith & the revenge. these boys are currently riding a wave of successful releases, mainly in the form of their disco and boogie edits under their 6th borough project guise on instruments of rapture. here we see them move into original production territory with a bass heavy slice of brooding and grooving floor friendly house but with their own unique twist. tempos are kept low, drums are kept live sounding and the subtle italo synth lines all ensure this track keeps true to their roots in disco. for their 6th borough project dub they dive head first into a slowly building, drum and percussion heavy workout which has a beautiful tension to it. this is music for small basements with big sound systems. finally we have john dalys beautiful interpretation where he opts for a blissed out, understated and hypnotic sound that wraps you up in layers of warm, echoing synths whilst the groove chugs along masterfully. a true mood setter or after hours classic

hot hit remixes by d.i.m. ,tomas barfod & surkin if you don t understand chromeo it s obvious you are a racist. only racists and deaf people are immune to the montreal duo s funky funk. but because everyone at turbo can both hear... and believes in racial harmony and equality for all. we dig chromeo.... and are proud, nay humbled, to >drop< their first single off the desperately anticipated second album: fancy footwork. what makes this >footwork< so fancy you ask? racist scum... step the fuck off and open your heart to the finest distillation of minneapolis groove since mazarati. the chromeo boys are back in the o-sept to heal the fractured soul of dance music. teenage lovers, 20 something blogpoders, 30 something burn-out ex-raver >graphic designers< and 40 something afro-americans can all finally party under one roof... and that roof has a name, and that roof is on fire, and the only ones who can put out that funk-fire also happen to be the guys the roof is named after: chromeo - going to be huge !!!

played by dinky, karotte, trevor jackson!! these new tracks venture to the deeper, often evocative ends of techno and house. the title track fuses an percussive old school house groove with deep techno chords. so when the organ line kicks in, it gives you this very orginal emotion of timeless house. in keeping with einzelkind s unpredictable tendencies – he used to make drum n bass before he switched onto house and techno – you still can hear something of his former musical alter ego in the second track, >bonnieland<.based on a low-slung, growling bassline, the track gradually evolves to reveal a trippy sequence and lush chords, which sounds like the fusion of a detroity atmossphere with the dynamic of a drum n bass-track. a strong release, that consolidates the unique fingerprint of the two einzelkind-boys from frankfurt

tony rohr is at it again with his signature rhythms and glitchy, driving minimal sound that has been steadily gaining him recognition worldwide. as expected from mr. rohr, this ep is a two track burner with spacey cadences, mind bending peaks and groovey drops in all of the right places. as a master of his craft we expect nothing less from him. this is tony s first solo ep on clink, previously releasing with tim xavier as the afternoon coffee boys on 001 and 004. the kreuzberg krunk ep firmly establishes tony as a driving force in the unique and increasingly popular sound of this minimal imprint

the members of my my met and became friends through common interests in music, but it wasnt until they ended up as neighbours in berlins mitte, that a lifestyle of committed partying, cake baking and long studio sessions lead to their debut release on playhouse >klatta< in early 2005. it was the result of previously downtempo producer lee jones (hefner) working and partying with local berlin djs nick höppner and carsten kleeman, who are residents respectively at panorama bar and watergate. following up their recent fantastic 12inch on circus company butterflies & zebras is beautifully tripped-out expansive ambient house, summer after-hours here we come! recorded live with nick and lee layering fx over the organic percussion as the mix develops. an acid infused bassline is slowly opened out as layers of lush strings and shimmering pads are teased into the arrangement. on moneybowl the boys show the more jacking side of my my. taught and lean with a groove that keeps on evolving, while weird and wonderful bleeps and clicks bounce around the mix. for the remix, john dahlbäck twists the pads from the original and adds his own synth stabs. then pulls out a bassline and arrangement that jumps straight onto the dancefloor

box jams remixed part 2. after marcus mixx its p79s turn to get remixed. daniel wang comes with a sweeet new-york disco version with warm sounds and an even warmer groove... very nice! major swellings (aka prins thomas) comes with a nice long building dubby remix with a great additional bassline and loads of percussion added... works like crazy (like basicly all the things he and his buddy lindstrom are touching at the moment). and a new bonus edit by the finnish wonder boys themself. slightly different from the original with a more loose feel.

a side feat 2 slamming tech tracks flip 4 two cool electro grooves

a sublime epic slice of electronic disco this track will draw you in and space you out with its layers of synth pads pulsing bassline and rolling groove jimpster takes the bare bones and builds up a more chunky funky deep house remix with a little help from the jones girls on the flip the spirit catcher boys work up a peak time mix that should please all fans of their pumping futuredisco sound

wildtime recordings usher in 2006 with their second release and once again strobe funk step up to the plate with more jacked-up grooves for the 21st century. the wigged-out acid of >shake your body down< roughs things up on the a side. insistent stabs an old disco vocal, some low pads and a tweakin 303 make this perfect for some sweaty, heads down action. >jump back< thumps along on a mid-paced groove. some 80s flavours are thrown in and a erm, >borrowed< vocal floats in and out of the mix and all the while the acid keeps on flowing. those strobe funk boys, they love their acid!

brique rouge label boss david duriez opening the ep with a funky hypnotic groove on the tech-house tip. catskills man bushy then provides an idjut boys style rolling track with a beautifully catchy bassline. the third mix is a soulful and funky track, closest to the original, with a hint of prince like groove to it. finally a bonus track from the previous single that has surprisingly prompted a lot of interest and praise finishes off the ep in dubby style

krak street boyz the traditon continues , as with the first 3 releases on tsfa ---- the same goes here . humor + funk + serious groove = an ass shaking adventure worthy of a spot on the travel channel.

slammin phreaky fhunky electro (house ) tracks , pure genius material...big feature in groove magazine ,+ heavy support from all the key djs: erol alkan, boris dlugosch, dj t., ivan smagghe, the glimmers, idjut boys...

for tiga (turbo) one of the most important record this year! john starlight returns with an infernal hammer strike. dirty grooves are paired with yet unheard vital feedback orgies. that's the distinctive john starlight sound which he defined in 2003 with the milestone blood angels. organic, eratic (wayward) and massive! already played by sven väth, kid alex aka boys noize, dj hell, miss kittin , frank lorber

classic vocalhouse with much groove and soul feeling
