lurifax aka peter visti is known for his love of balearic music. peter is now signed to eskimo recordings where his first ep >balearic love< was a favourite with djs such as todd terje, prins thomas and superstar dj tiga. following on from >balearic love<, mindless boogie released peter visti edits of >jolene<, which went on to be a balearic smash throughout the summer of 2007 and got playlisted by rob da bank on bbc radio one. now peter adopts a new guise as lurifax to drop his debut release for spacetalk records. >afro beach< takes the listener back to the glory days of the balearic scene of the late 80s and early 90s driven by a mellow groove and some choice recorder and accordion parts with hints of detroit in the bassline. on the flip, >need someone< is trademark peter visti, a languid mid-80s throbber that takes in a wonderful guitar solo. a worthy third release to follow on from the success of spacetalks first two releases from kaine and future beat alliance

piemont had a furious premiere at gedankensport. the nightshift ep caused huge waves of response. frederic möring-sack and christian de jonquieres already had an excellent reputation as solo artists the last years but as piemont they brought up an extraordinary standard of minimal techno. they run their own labels suchtreflex, hammarskjold and fingerfoodmusic. their music is suitable for peak time as well as for after hours and listening comfort. their debut gained great public interest and soon top artists supported as thomas schumacher, oliver huntemann, oliver koletzki, monika kruse, deep dish and umek supported the tracks. heavy rotation accelerated by their next act of greatness at gedankensport and now we are proud to announce the follow-up which is another wonderful milestone of minimalism!

the a-side remix comes from the man who is to blame for one of the biggest hits this year, >volta< . but his remix of >herr reporter< is even mightier! already featured on the official amnesia 2007 compilation. the tony senghore sound can be described as pugnacious, belligerent and slightly gung-ho - keeping the elegant xylophone part from the original version and turns into a piece of shuffled madness. previous remix work for artists like bodyrox, til west and audiobullys proves it to be working. apart from being a member of the berlin-based blip blop pop phenomenon slagsmålsklubben, din stalker is the moniker of hannes stenström when being solo. >herr reporter< is his best track to date, a perfect 8-bit electro workout

after releases on sonar kellektiv and melting pot music its now time for jazzanova member (sygaire) to join forces with defcon. this time we re going back way back back into time (jimmy castor style)! as you might guess its all about the old school breaks on this one. with some crazy production skills we get served a massive break beat medley that will be hard to match and that most likely will get those feet in the air with any decent b boy. not much of song, but what a dj tool. b boys watch out! on the flip sygaire goes on a solo venture with a truly adventurous track. the barracuda combines funny cartoon voices, broken beats, uk 2 step styled b lines and lil touch of jazz into one crazy track. its already had heads turned everywhere its been played and is sure to be that special peak hour tune that brings the party barometer into a dangerous red. beware of the bass line drop ok!

third solo ep for vicknoise in factor city. this time, two tracks plus two remixes by undo and mouseup, his teammates. in the a-side we find the track that gives name to the 12 inch, which title (one thousand and one nights) makes us think vicknoise now wears beard and turban, and has converted to islam. this is one of many irrefutable truths that techno has suffered the influence of arabic music since its beginning. in the 80s we had psychic tv or chris&cosey. later on, cylob. and most recently guy gerber and mathew jonson, as number one exponent of modern arabic techno

new label by buzz goree (underground resistance). >oh oh oh< and >first mission< are deep technotracks with a strong influence by the sound of chicago and detroit, delivered by the xenogears, a duo of italian producers (marieu and lucretio) that use the soulpower and analogue fat beats to attack the dancefloor. lucretios solo track is a piece of fine funky minimalistic techno. eduardo de la calles (spain) >tribute to ramtha< is a monster electrotrack, characterized by killers 808 drums and a solo of vintage analogue synthesizers
