first single taken from the forthcoming technasia album, >central<, with a two-tracker in the purest technasia style. on the a, >esperance< is a funky number in constant motion, with huge chord progression, while on the b, the gritty street-level techno of >innocuous clouds< doesnt forget that dance music rightfully belongs on the dancefloor. all in all an ep sure to become a cherished tool for djs across the house and techno spectrum.

>privilege< deals with the fortune of living out a dream in a world that does not grant all people with the same opportunities. over the last year i had the fortune to visit places around the globe in which i felt the obscene wealth of opportunities i have in life. its hard to bear that the majority of humanity will never have the chance to even dream of who and what they could have been. (glitterbug about his new album)

>afro rock vol. 1< is one of the most important compilations of heavy original 70s afro funk and soul to be released in recent years. originally surfacing on duncan brookers indie kona label in early 2001, the album single-handedly kick-started the thirst among jazz, funk and soul fans and diggers to rediscover lost music from africa made during the 60s and 70s from a time when many countries were gaining independence and celebrating a pan-african identity within their music. the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional ?world music? market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland.

nice price deal !!! 8 years after his first vinyl release georg levin can already be described as a long-time yet unlikely member of berlins electronic music scene. with both his solo project and his production outfit wahoo he is definitely too much on the soulful side to be a typical representative of the techno and rock sound the city is known for. however, it may be this supposedly alien surrounding that gives his compositions and productions a distinctive blend. to his credit georg also had a no.1 on traxsource in late 2009 as a precursor to the release of this, his second album album and debut for bbe.
