all the hype around xilents skills at 140bpm should in no way overshadow his skills at other tempos. the dnb juggernauts of >spectre< and >multishapes< have been tearing up the clubs in the hands of those lucky enough to have the dubs, with dj hype and crissy criss also both dropping >multishapes< on their kiss and 1xtra radio shows. the single most exciting thing about this ep is the future possibilities for xilent. a star is quite possibly born.

originally born in the south of england into a musically gifted family, mark reeve received the major order to be a dj and to play electronic dance music when he moved to the rhein-main area in 1998. mark is now known today as a non stop dj and producer , as an artist he has now had his most important releases on cult label defected with with düsseldorf-based tapesh, solo on traumschallplatten (sep 2011), for monique musique or neurotraxx - marks tracks are always a mixture between dancefloor moovers including groovy rhythms and big baselines. in his cocoon debut, reeve presents himself in all his stylistic bandwidth: >daybreak< combines a highly-functional tribal bass pumping station with such mighty dub chords that make the sun shine even in in the most remote corner of the club, while >morning on mars< gives priority to the hypnotic effect of percussion. mark reeve is definitely a name to remember in 2011!

in 2010, when we started to revitalise the tresor label, we reached out to some of the greatest artists, not just in tresors history, but in techno. late 2010 we sat down in a paris cafe, just off the pompidou centre, with jeff mills, on a rainy, otherwise unremarkable and miserable day. but on this day we were given two very strong pieces of advice. >hire a fanastic a&r and sign sleeparchive<. so here we are, an artist that has been on the underground radar of the hacker, miss kittin and richie hawtin makes his debut on tresor records with >ronan point<. >the tracks developed from parts and loops i had created for my live set and always wanted to make tracks from. after a little break i took with the sleeparchive project the record for tresor was a great opportunity to make these tracks.< sleeparchives live sets have graced the dance floors and sound systems of berghain, arena club and bloc weekend, so it is fair to say that the 4 tracks that make up ?ronan point are not just tried and tested, but actually born on the dance floor. >> press: dj magazine techno single of the month.

set time-dials to 2011 and engage. here we have two slick, italian producers bottin and rodion, they both may have (professionally) lost their first name, but they sure both make up for that with their italian style and extra analog-burbleness. their original vocoder nugget and dub both feature on the vinyl. for remix action we teleport over to argentina where toomy disco (a pretty spacey name already) delivers us some remix action. slick grooves, flowing bass guitar and more shine than a sparkly new saturn 5.
unless an intergalactic born space-plague fuses our brains back to reality, expect more cosmic lunacy in 2012. get your submissions in now producers.

horror disco melds these soundtrack and aural ideas with a 100% disco album. one that drifts away from most of the soulful elements of disco and one that is dirtier, warmer and less polished than contemporary scandinavian nu-disco. the album is wide and varied - slashdance gives us a goblin-esque robo-vocoder-disco, roger bacon is pure cosmic groove, whilst the italo-disco-thriller disco for the devil features the vocals of italian-based, uk-born session master douglas meakin – who back in the day was lead vocalist in simonetti s easy going and crazy gang cult disco projects.

reissue - cass mccombs, singer-songwriter born in northern california in 1977 and currently residing somewhere in that state, is set to release wit’s end, his fifth-and-a-half album and third on domino, on april 11th. the result of two years recording in various homes and studios in california, new york, new jersey and chicago, wit’s end was produced by cass with ariel rechtshaid, with whom he also created catacombs.sounds that conjure the colors purple and black, this is his darkest record to date. it seems he is going deeper into the mania of a man buried alive inside his self-made catacombs, banging the stone walls, crying to be let out, and enjoying the quiet away from the outside world. however, he is not a man afraid of his own shadow, for in this environment of complete darkness, no shadows can be cast. this is a world of total feeling. here, words become a catalyst away from the slavery of arbitrary thought and toward feeling.

summer 2010. neuland. here, we were met schieres and his machines. lovely. this ep is dedicated to neuland and zucker. we love you – we miss you – we will miss you. dont think about what you have lost. warm nights, between burning couches and nothingness. empty ideas were born. we are lost and people are sure to forget.

somewhat of a metaphor for britain, welcome to goon island is born from the great british art school tradition, the core of the band having met at art college in sothend, vivid, interesting, expansive and far-reaching, an aesthetic that seeps into everything they do from their other-worldly videos via intriguing photos to extra curricular activities such as training dogs to dance. yet such apparent frippery shouldn t disguise their uncanny ability to pen rather fine songs, as welcome to goon island attests.

london-based thomas feriero, aka avatism, didnt buy his first vinyl when he was ten years old, nor was he born out of the love of two underground jazz musicians. he had an extremely dull and standard childhood and can barely play the drums. yet somehow, he is able to formulate techhouse tracks that are classy and artful while remaining dancefloor-functional.

nice price deal !!! the music of the cologne based duo kitbuilders can be described as electro with scifi-punkrock-energy and a grebo edge. a remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of female singer ripley. in the kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the sparks in their moroderphase, chris and cosey, neu and devo. but their music is not 80s retro stuff, they include a lot of futuristic and fresh elements in their songs. after a handful of 12 inch singles and compilation appearances on labels like electrecord, world electric, vertical and ersatz audio, >wake up< was the debut full length from the duo. the us magazine xlr8r called it >...an excellent hybrid of the past and present<. alongside american outfits like adult. and fischerspooner, kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. equal parts moroder and liquid sky, the duo of benway and ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness.

tin mans voice is infamous, romantic, an expression of love, life and beauty, but also slowly fades away, covered in sleaze. and so is his music, a melodic and rhythmically bass driven art work somewhere in between acid, house, electronica and synth pop. great. don t miss his album perfume which is set to release in spring 2011.
