after being influenced by mix-tapes of artists such as richie hawtin, dustin began writing music purely for fun. shortly after, dustin met future-partner ian lehman, who was established in the mid-west rave scene. ian explained to him that music similar to his was played at parties called raves. ian invited him to one of his shows and dustin took his offer to see what he was talking about. after being exposed to just one party, dustin knew this was his future. dustin started doing a live pa at various local parties and quickly became a favorite. after a year, dustin stepped up to the decks and won just as much respect as he did with his productions. in early 2001, dustin and ian both agreed to take things to the next level. they put a halt on bookings and concentrated on the studio. a year later their work had emerged onto vinyl and all over the internet, creating a serious buzz. abiotic was born, and the duo formed the attack people. a few words can easily describe dustin zahnÆs style: moody, tribal, dark, and hypnotic. since dustin co-founded abiotic recordings with ian lehman in 2001, heÆs finished projects for labels such as livewire records (detroit), analytic trail (italy) and invasion (belgium). his tracks have been received support from techno producers such as redhead, adam beyer, danilo vigorito, tim xavier, ben sims, chris liebing, dave clarke, umek

support by: adam beyer, speedy j, emerson, brian sanhaji, joel mull, perc, steve rachmad, the advent, paco osuna.... true type tracks starts here with two artists that have created a very distinctive sound both together and solo, and represent a way of understanding techno music in which we firmly believe. our dynamic duo meets again to continue what they started on the ad ltd imprint. two tracks that define their own sounds and as the two artists behind them fit so well together they have to be in the same plastic. as a is for alexi, time out fills this side with powerful, dirty, jackin driving techno. alexi delivers a track were the classic flavour of techno is completely infected by his characteristic twisted futuristic sequences. the track grows full of tension and it s a sure killer. it s funk, it s dark, it s strong. on side b, xpansul signs a playful techno track full of swing and funk, hip techno a la xpansul. jackin beats and dubby bass support several freaking melodies that build this trip to dancefloor madness. we love techno!

nice price deal !!! dutch duo pacific & van dyck teams up with the talented anna montgomery and deliver something very nice. the original has been doing the rounds for a while now gaining a constant buzz.alex romano adds his magic and sets the original on fire. it is all about that infective baseline. alex romano is known for delivering solid tunes, but what we are hearing here is ridiculous!

villa nah makes pure electronic pop with plenty of emphasis on catchy melodies and meticulously crafted soundscapes reminiscent of the 1980s. stylewise, villa nah is related to 80s bands like heaven 17 or new order, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. once you ve heard their debut single, you ll know that villa nah is about nothing else but their own style and sound. the single opener ways to be is built around a synth bassline, handclaps and the kind of irresistible melody that you cant shake out of your head once you ve heard it. envelope is a tad more dark with an uplifting synth melody serving as a hook. daytime, in contrast to its title, evokes a strong sense of night time. villa nahs vocalist juho paalosmaa is a very charismatic performer, whose great sense of stage drama brings to mind a young glenn gregory or philip oakey. indeed, villa nah is not merely a production duo but an actual band with a live show that is not to be missed.

big with ken ishii, jeff samuel, kabale & liebe, sweetncandy, markus kavka and many more! karateklub recordings is presenting itself in top form with a powerful duo. >vast delight< is an unbeatable combination of womanly charm and a manly charismatic sense of rhythm. two creative heads unified in one release. an immeasurable delight

fenou #8 - dapayk & padberg on fenou - yes! following up their brilliant >black beauty album< on fenous parent label mos ferry in 2007 and the two album remix records last year this is something new, and different. ok, the duo already had a fenou-like moment with the remix of island (feat. caro) by noze. but this a-side >sugar< shows exactly what the genre description cute minimal electronica actually means. its somewhere between clubby, but distinctive electronica beats, a vocal taht reveals a definite pop-appeal and some lounge-like tunes. the b-side >soir< by dredl kibosh is quite different from that. its a deep and relaxing track developing very slowly to leave a feeling of zero gravity in the end. thereby its not as complex as ezekiel honigs seaside pastures pt.1 on fenou06, but continues the laid-back side of fenou in a perfect way. consequently, the fenou no.8 is presented as a limited edition of 10 records

first release for this new italian label, who claim to bring techno back to its top level. we re inclined to agree with those sentiments, as are the others who have received promos of the release. the a side consists of two deep and dark techno tracks, that should also find favour with more minimal djs. they are apparently by a popular northern european artist, going under the guise of ????. the label has kept such a secret that we dont even know who it is. on the b side, we have a soz adams (esperanza, archipel, gumption) remix of label head obtane and fris, which is a retro chicago style excursion, and german duo sebastian herre and obscure close the ep with a more detroit techno inspired track.

its all eyes and ears on the red hot production duo deekline & wizard this month as we get set to release their key single back up (love for the music) on limited edition, against the grain buzz saw shaped vinyl.

minus has released a first rate selection of home grown artist albums over the past 18 months, with heartthrob, false and gaiser all creating long players of real substance and this trend is set to continue in 2009 with arguably the label’s most significant release of recent times. louderbach’s long awaited second album autumn represents another jump in the evolutionary cycle of minimal techno, having developed from the largely instrumental project that gave us enemy love into a fully-fledged song based outfit. as a result, autumn has a much deeper feel than its predecessor and indeed breaks new ground, with the dark metaphors of gibby miller’s often chilling vocal performances fitting hand-in-glove with the ominous landscapes and broken architecture that troy pierce constructs so effectively. drawing on shared influences such as bauhaus, coil and joy division, the duo have conceived an album of emotional depth and exquisite detail, appropriating the best elements of these early-eighties pioneers and reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens to achieve a perfect balance of style and content. it’s the result of an unspoken understanding that spans thousands of miles from their respective homes in l.a. and berlin and this distant intimacy is a naturally occurring theme throughout the album, manifesting itself as dark, twilight tales of melancholy romance, burning obsession and the slow, disintegration of desire

designer drugs is a new york based electro-house duo focused on making stadium rocking bangers. currently designer drugs is signed to iheartcomix records and has done over 23 remixes this year for labels such as iheartcomix, kitsune, dim mak, fools god, warner brothers, flamin hots, hail social, iamsound, etc etc, coco machette and calamity jane for artists such as little boots, the veronicas, thieves like us, treasure fingers, mariah carey, jupiter one, hearts revolution, mission control, freezepop, hail social, protokol, iamx (formely of the sneaker pimps), and fake shark – real zombie

bearweasel are london-based duo dean muhsin and louisa page, a pair who in less than a year have a string of singles and remixes for some of the best labels around including 8-bit, tsuba, supernature, perc trax and murmur. the >sorry for nothing ep< is build around two original recordings, >risk< and >many more< and also features a remix from moon harbours dan drastic. first out of the gate is the original of >risk<, a track built around a shuffling percussion led groove. the spacious arrangement, intense stabs and low-key bassline lend a depth and quality to this cut that make it truly sublime. simple, understated yet devastatingly effective. next up, dan drastic reworks >risk<, turning in a remix that stays true to the original whilst imprinting things with his own sound. the drums are toughened up and the vibe is a little more dubbed out, providing an alternative that sits perfectly alongside bearweasels primary production

brussels-based duo yves de mey and peter van hoesen presenting three varied techno tracks. system policy features a continuously evolving layer of dubby chords, carefully placed in a rich, resonating musical space. at first it seems appropriate to call it dub techno, but crisp percussion and a keen ear for arrangement lend this track an extra dose of funk

fresh from a recent round of absolute killer 12s & a bestselling mix cd on their revitalized noid label, the idjuts are further cementing their purple patch in production with the launch of a no doubt sporadic, though eminently collectible and club friendly imprint. droid exists as an outlet for the boys more electronic releases, something for a little later in the evening (or morning !), a selection of tracks which apply the duos patented dub ethic to the late night world of hypnotic dancefloor secret weapons. this huge second release sees the idjuts deliver a duo of heavy, dubbed out acid trax….a 21st century nod to the early & seminal chicago acid tracks which rattled the foundations of ron hardys musicbox club and changed electronic music forever.
