we love the way of leeks experimenting with sounds, some are quite edgy others are electronic sounding and not necessarily pleasing sounds as we get them in nearly every production these days. >qwerty< for example does not subdue to the daily routine of >todays techno< but moves upright and proudly. ever listened to jeff mills? you will then understand a bit about whats going on here.&#8232,,,,,

>from the beginning 2 eternity ep< contains said track from the original galaxy studio sessions 2003, and from the same sessions, >bird songs 4 amelie<. these are from the original masters of releases that came out on jeff mills axis/6277 label in 2004. only 300 stamped white label copies

superb doublepack from slam mode on idaban. >signals< combines elements of lush techno, minimal house, and grooving laidback beats into a wondrous array of tracks, ranging from solid floor movers to late night couch dwelling winners. think jeff mills going out on a more organic tip and you will be in the same ballpark - textured, atmospheric, yet with plenty of beats to move the crowds.

this scottish producer puts trapez ltd again on the techno map. after a couple of more housy releases on trapez ltd this release is a tougher one.&#8232,,circular star works techno a bit in a post detroit fashion... the sounds smells of industrial sites, burned rubber and has that certain sexy machine rhythm to it which we always felt was the jeff mills factor. they have little glamour about them, they are true and a direct force.

a little house in the deep blue sea: a perfect title for a tune, this track kicks off with a subtle, tribal groove, claps and deep chords then take the listener into the deepness. hypnotic, sweet and elegant music for the late night movers on the dancefloor. b1. thank you for listening: new york meets frankfurt on main with this tasty tech-house tune. a pounding bass drum combined with japanese vocal snippets, spooky strings and mills like percussion drive this tune on and into the peak time dancefloors. a must play for all lovers of the new school house movement. b2. for the moment: a slow mo tribal electro tune perfect for the morning after the night before. a tune made for all space night lovers and dreamers.

hot on the heels of the excellent bad cop bad cop ep comes the amazing new four tracker from smear, otherwise known as one half of forward strategy group, encompassing all that is good when it comes to hypnotic, rhythmic techno. think old school jeff mills meets marcel dettmann with a bit of throbbing gristle thrown in for good measure, youd be hard pushed to find a more essential techno record this year.

the first release by m_rec ltd is by the dutch man jeroen search. couldn t start any better to show the quality of sound of this label. 4 pure analog tracks that go from a hood style to mills but with a search personality. simply an artist!

perc trax returns with its 30th vinyl release with a split ep showcasing the works of both its newest and most established acts.
first up is ben gibson with 2 tracks that feature on his forthcoming perc trax album >in a realized luck of immanence<. both tracks instantly demonstrate what made jeff mills sign ben to his axis offshoot 6277. bens sound is a dense, atmospheric take on the now-classic uk techno sound of surgeon, regis, ruskin etc and both the rolling bass of >vanished between< and the sharp stabs of >wirklichkeit< prove that he is an artist to watch out for.
on the b-side label boss perc hooks up with the labels canadian connection metalogic to deliver 2 tracks that flit between broken beat and 4/4 rhythms with ease. both tracks feature an attention to detail that both perc and metalogic are known for with endless dubbed out synths and effects keeping the tracks interesting but never getting in the way of the crisp beats. these tracks have already been road tested around the world by perc in recent months and will be a key part of a launch party for this ep in toronto in october.

big electro house bomb from partners in crime: tony cha cha & sidney samson!

as snapshots catalogue grows, so too does the quality. the modest label hits us with five new tracks by johannes volk with a heavy detroit minimal feel, instantly reminding us of vintage robert hood productions built of only the bare essential elements required to move ones body. johannes is currently pounding the floors across europe with his live sets and has released on labels such as jeff mills 6277 imprint (an axis sub label) & gerds life world records.

selected advent deal. - this debut release on new imprint numbercult is sure to make waves, pulling no punches with this weighty production. the series hits off with a anonymous artist (which most likely is not making his debut here, judging on the production skills). the a side kicks off landlines, 11 minutes of driving deepness, an overdriven stabbing subbass and solid percussion give the track monstrous bottom end with the hypnotic lead line almost vanishing in the vastness. this could be descriped as a kind of mid 90s techno... the rawer side of basic channel or fcom. an absolute sexy monster track that keeps pushing forward and remains its funky almost dubby drive. strong! from the b side clonic is a driving mills esque x 103 ish assault, layering discordant acid lines to produce an intense and relentless track, broken only once with soaring beautiful strings. a side is essential! the b side only for the headstrong. a great start for this new label from glasgow releasing limited releases of high calibre deep techno from a dynamic collective of producers. a label grounded on the basics of techno with an open mind to the future. and what a great start. check!!!

after releases on jeff mills axis sublabel mission as counterpart and amazing eps on figure, run by len faki or audiosculpture and outland records, these two guys from the netherlands are not a secret weapon any more: dimi angélis & jeroen search. sending greetings to robert hood, smallville explores deep looptechno with this three highly kicking tracks. dimi & jeroen are smartly driving the dancefloors with this perfect ep: a serious hit on the a side, b1 as a powerful tool and an ultradeep technotune with a touch of house for b2

the first twelve from johannes volk gained support keith worthy, mike huckaby, mills, etc. on this second release johannes drops a mighty techno stomper called internal structure reminiscent of some classic robert hood productions from way back. inspired by a severe an damaging tornado storm in volk?s hometown, this incredibly good, yet frantic piece of dance music is build from layer upon layer: static beats, grooving bassline, sweeping synths and a warm rhodes-esque sound make this a apocalyptic but colourful banger. on the flip we have gerd bringing home the potatoes for sure. his take on volk?s internal structure is a mighty acid stomper reminiscent of those warehouse parties, yet it is done in a very contemporary way. check!

adam beyers drumcode label has its ten year anniversary this year and there will be many releases as well as a massive compilation album project later in the year featuring brand new tracks from many of the label s key artists. one of the newest additions is the producer of this new release - tor lowkrantz or mighty thor as he is known. this 4 tracker again demonstrates the open musical policy of the label. the last hardcell release was a fine piece of work demonstrting influences from both hard and minimal techno sensibilities. this release focuses more on the harder end of the scale but still remains fresh with its almost old jeff mills and rob hood influences. all 4 tracks have a fat groove and are saturated with funk yet still pack serious punch in any set. another winner from drumcode

james hammer storms the a with a bright hypnotic groove on solid beats that displays a definite mills influence that is sure to have the floor heaving & perfect for the mix. flip for label boss gus brown taking things in a darker direction, heavier snares & a buzzing bass used to maximum effect. then techno legend orlando voorn steps ups for the final remix & slams down a harder remix that builds on the original groove & twists it over and over to finish the record perfectly.

mysterious new label concentrating on the finest intergalactic techfunk. johannes volk is a pretty new name to many.. however his first record “the mysteries of tharsis montes” was released on jeff mill’s axis a while ago… now he steps into public again with this lifeworld record. volk enters the delicate world of futuristic techno and combines it with earthly acoustic elements. johannes is producing music in the best tradition of jeff mills and robert hood, but he managed to put his own fingerprint on it. a dazzling deep & funking techno release for peak time play.

killer !!! dead or alive vs jeff mills you spin me right round...

an incredible ep with namlook exploring the edges of minimal techno and deep ambient, while the remixes are pepe bradocks most dancefloor oriented works in ages! macro delivers a stunning release by a man who has not only produced 3 collaborational albums with richie hawtin, but also runs the ultra influential fax label with an artist roster ranging from speedy j to bill laswell to klaus schulze: namlook is a true electronic pioneer in a league of his own. the track >subharmonic atoms< was produced back in 1995 and is re-released by macro as a long out of print electronic prototype on the edge of minimal techno and ambient. but dont think this is a retro affair: subharmonic atoms sounds incredibly fresh and proves it is as groundbreaking, innovative and timeless as jeff mills early axis works or hawtins concept1 series. entirely remastered from the original source and cut in unparalleled sound quality, it is available on a single 12inch side for the first time ever. the release is completed with nothing short but french remix master pepe bradocks triumphant return to the dancefloor. his versions of >atoms< are rocking upfront house burners, which his fans have been waiting for since 2003s intrusion ep. definitely one of this years hottest packages

twice high quality dark atmospheric techno deepness. nebula is the more straight forward track, thick pounding rhythm and vibes make it ending up somewhere between mills & maurizio, raw straight techno. estuary gives some deeper dubby vibes. revived is the delsin sub-label ann aimee! once again outlet for the more experimental sides of delsins electronic music. after the superb fine release by james kumo, another fine debut ep. this ep is done by delta funktionen, who goes in real life by the name of niels luinenburg. 23 years old - living in the northern part of holland. hes inspired by maurizio, basic channel, convextion, carl craig, steve rachmad, jeff mills, robert hood and others. the superb artwork is done by another delta, namely delta inc

excellent deep space media compilation!! an adventure into future dub, spacey vibes and abstract grooves..

the p-posse cracks two more tunes and turn them into propelling dancefloor tunes. starting with a special trip the a-side pulls a well known rock formation back into the underground. this will amuse you for sure. the flip should definitly ring some bells. the biggest smasher from techno legend mills gets a rerub and is injected with some rollin funk

three brand new tracks from the rising star elliot dodge, whos currently working alongside orlando voorn on the newly resuscitated night vision label, while collaborating with rennie foster, quantec and others. weve always admired elliots forward thinking approach to beat driven techno music, which tips the hat to detroit legends hood & mills while retaining a firm understanding of classic uk techno. whats more, we think this is his best output yet

kontra-musik 006 moves the label into the analog domain of electronic dance music. this kind of sound you only get with the good old analogues. the a-side, produced by the master of the modular system, pseudonym scaff, takes us deep down our favorite techno memory lane. if techno was the meeting of kraftwerk and george clinton in an elevator, ssm 440 is the outcome of jeff mills and maurizio having breakfast at tiffanys. this track is warm, dubby and monotonous but with a drive heading straight for the late night dance floor. the b-side gives us two unique sounding tracks from pseudonym aparatus. city tunnel slowly and elegantly grinds, cranks and turns while building its way towards dance floor bliss. x-presso is best described as periodic fluctuations of voltages in the analog domain. elegant details of beautiful sound take us back to the time when minimal music still was interesting. this is >techno< in the sense that the term was originally intended. enjoy cause analog is the bastard
