big hit! stunning minimal techno from berlins underground producer scene! the subdub label owner and berlin based techno activists heinrichs & hirtenfellner, have already released numerous tracks and remixes on labels like lordag, supdub, tonkonsum, römer and freshly squeezed: karateklub! violet rain on the a-side is a deep groovin’ track with melancholic atmosphere rounded up with an amazing pumping bassline. on the flip drop to the warm ground is a funky and intense track accented with bleepy textures. for peak time play, no question about it! “under the water surface” starts with a smooth beat combined with nice melodic elements. but after the break: a dirty and pushing bassline rolls over the whole track - the monster awakes and send the dancing crowd to the moon and back! amazing 3-track ep - buy or die!

i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!

up-and-coming minimal star dinamoe (aka rico puestel) who is about to release several records on big name labels shoes us a variety of his producing talents: from crisp and elegant complexity to harsh and sinister straightness. always pushing as youd expect from schieber..

nice and chunky, keep up doing what you do so wellintroducing deadset: an act that crafts house music in some of its many disguises. the two man team used to do a lot of that, and a little bit of this. before deadset1 and deadset2 came into being, they played in the sandpit with the likes of muse, miss kittin, royksopp, tiefschwarz, justin timberlake, scissor sisters and with labels such as fine, blue fin, souvenir, made to play, wall of sound and tsuba. now they do a lot of this and only a little bit of that. disregarding this, that and the other, their tipping point has arrived… they have also been allowed to play around at the likes of weekend (berlin), panoramabar (berlin), fabric (london), the end (london) and countless other joints. lovingly nurtured, their forthcoming album, keys open doors, is about to be released into the wild from the arms of jesse rose and his front room label. music for now, with an eye on tomorrow, made with sounds of then. deadset 1 is tom mangan. deadset 2 is cass. cass + mangan is dead. long live deadset

and so we have, >irst_te?< the word is bay area fillmore slang for >thirsty?< worthy saw it painted on a fence somewhere and made a track about it. this could be a breakout year for worthy who has already had multiple plays on radio one of his >whistler< remix and >that funkin noise< from his digital label, katabatic. >irst_te?< is bouncy and fun and it sounds kind of like it was inspired by the band in the original star wars with the alien clarinet players and the blue elephant on keys. claude vonstroke takes it darker and more techno, with an epic sounding build that could fit into almost any set

with shyza minellis last 12 still at the front of many bags, and indeed the first track on many worn out cds, tuning spork is back bringing a need for more bagspace and new cds. this time it is blackwell who is grabbing your attention and making your friends jealous of your twisted house music sounds. this time it is blackwell who is telling you that >you are entering the twilight zone<. blackwell is a new producer in the tuning spork family. he grew up in north wales and is half finnish, but rest assured that that is the only thing thats fishy about this man. (sorry). inspired by the likes of luciano, jay haze, and ricardo villalobos, blackwell likes his house music to be minimal, but always funky. we can also reveal that ricardo villalobos himself has tipped this record to be a hit, he is seriously feeling the >you are entering the twilight zone< ep

after productions with sven väth and dj hell, anthony rother continues the tradition of mutual sound enrichment in an ingenious way, including the current publication for the sublabel datapunk limited. this time, no less than xenia beliayeva is involved, up to now the only female producer on datapunk thanks to her highly acclaimed >ultra glamour ep< of last summer. the 26-year-old muscovite by birth has regularly worked as a disk jockey already since 1996 and is considered as one of the hottest german dj insider tips since her support gig for kraftwerk at the zkm opening in karlsruhe. a part from brilliant breaks, xenias remix of rothers retreaded super space model hit >dont worry< is mainly characterised by the interplay of beliayevas and rothers voices, >love s gonna change your life for good<, who would have ever dared to doubt about that. with the flipside, rother once again did a solo revision of >roses<, available up to now exclusively on the cd version of the album >super space model<, and created a highly dynamic synthesis of classical datapunk sound and sporadically interspersed reminiscences of the romantic synthpop of the past century

the new half cousin single big chief comes with an exclusive remix by the earlies. this is the lead single form the album and sums up in four minutes what the band is all about. the single also comes with the first ever remix the earlies have put their official name to, and a electronic upbeat offering from the fantastic dextro. half cousin also deliver these songs to captivating effect live with acclaimed artists martin slattery and anthony genn (the hours), jamie morrison (the noisettes), jimmy hogarth, the earlies and fellow scot kt tunstall all lending a hand on stage in developing this fierce reputation

nerven is without a doubt one of the most outstanding hard techno imprints about. for the latest cut labelboss marcus remus signs mastermind bold, who dropes a huge slammer in the true nerven style you´ve come to expect

the light has finally shone on this spoken word treat after laying in the vaults at defected for nearly 3 years.based on an mjb single this heavyweight club track is a major refreshment from the overblown bellowing preacher tracks that are no longer hitting the mark. its all about free range recordings boss jimpster though as he rolls out a remix of stunning proportions, the production that surrounds the sublime voice is instant, epic in fact without clouding the track with too much studio trickery. a driving analogue bassline and pulsing chords all ensure main room devastation is simply inevitable

>where were you..< is taken from their cd >astral weekends< forthcoming on bear entertainment. so turn your dream machine on, get off your psychic asses and start walking on the laser s edge…. all aboard the space train captained by tin pac-men from toy planets.1972-1977-1978-1979-1980/// berlin-munich-london-paris-new york…they ve seen the best minds of those generations crisped and motherfunked by the active oxidants of brainium zythernitrate. the diaphanoids (visible division) are: andrea bellentani and simon maccari. no aliens nor humans have been harmed during these recordings. remixes for their debut single come from the exciting talent of toby tobias (rekids, bear funk gold, hi-phen…) in 2 forms: his epic proton mix coming in at over 10 minutes long and the superb lazer-disco dub mix. this boy’s on fire! massive and excited reactions already from padded cell s richard sen, idjut boys, tim sweeney (dfa, beats in space), lindstrom, prins thomas, toby tobias, stevie kotey, arturo capone, simon lee (faze action), chicken lips and fabrizio mammarella… they re silver, how about you?

something slightly different perhaps, but probably even more cutting edge and effective. from definition records we present christian fischer. he is probably one of the most open-minded techno artists around judging his numerous releases which covers just about all aspects of techno music. miracle places is solid stomper with electroid influences and dreamy vocals. this would definitely not be misplaced in a dj hell or terence fixmer set. the b-side is a collaboration between fischer and newcomer the ascent. this results in a dark driven and steady stepper with freaky melody. a solid b-side track for the little hours accompanied by smokemachines in full throttle and full on strobe-action

its not minimal techno, its not electrohouse, its not progressive, its italian freshness…if you surf the cool electronic club sound and follow djs like steve lawler, seb fontaine, hernan cattaneo, satoshi tomiie, john digweed, you definitely know what are we talking about alex dolby & maskio is one of the hottest duos in the electronic club scene right now. here they combine the best out of their recent underground hits monday and airball and you get tokyo zoo and u make me sick, two timeless floor burner

a new project from elusive musical tag team duo alexis taylor and joe godard of hot chip. doubleshaw is an anthem of love and disbelief for a dear friend of theirs, a party animal of great intelligence and wit. twist myself again is about legal highs and super hero hulk out lows. two brilliant sides of jerking, surging, electronic madness with a myriad of vocal gyrations and mutations plus plenty of acoustic instrumention to ground things a bit

another superb two tracker from the french master, 2 tracks designed for the best dancefloors around the globe, the title sounds a bit scooby doo but the track is all about deep soulful underground house. franck hits the spot on rawsome with a perfect balance of hypnotic electronic elements and souful deep house attitude. a must for fans of kerri chandlers recent output. on the flip the spot hits just that and is another perfectly balanced deep electronic soulful house anthem. unmissable!

two armadillos are giles smith and martin dawson. their sound can loosely be described as deep house with more techno influences, whether that be detroit or modern minimal sounds. their tracks have warmth, depth and groove, yet have enough energy for the floor. “tunnel of light ep” on dessous is their first release working together. with more material ready expect to hear more about two armadillos very soon. tip

big with: damian lazarus, kiki, jimpster, ripperton, p.toile, m.monday daso franke, a fellow well known not only for his fantastic releases on mbf and connaisseur, but also for his furious live-sets, sets out to bring the noise again. after having been inspired by the nerdy world of old-schoolish adventure games for his last release, he uses the dissolute world of absinthe as an afflatus this time. he takes us to a land where alluring little green fairies buzz around and people cut their ears off under absinthe’s massively woozy influence. thujon: the impact of well-made absinthe depends on its concentration of thujon. it can best be described as a kind of heightened clarity of mind and vision. and this is what this track is all about - 100% thujon! louche is the name of the cloudy effect you achieve by adding water to spirits, which contain anise, like absinthe does. this track starts with a low-key groove, which forces up to a mental dance affaire, including a genuine rocking daso-esque break

this follow-up to 1999s >dark of heartness< album (tresor.125) attacks from several angles beginning with the hell-bent, club wrecking ball, >dirty old face<. >blackout< in contrast works dub influences around a chicago groove while the massive p-funk stepper >no one<, the balladesque >work< (featuring schmidt on vocals) and >wagging tail< will definitely kill off any skepticism about this albums huge potential

a stunning 3 track ep. >enter the night< provides a very funky vibe. with minimal feel, typified in cuts (yeah, shake a leg!), this records kicks off with a house rhythm before a bristling bass really starts driving the piece along. a smoke filled voice soon comes in, throwing the listener off talking about nights and exits or no exits while the track >no exits< on b2 is a fine and dark mixture of crisp beats and glitchy percussion to create a forceful groove as spluttery synth stabs keep up the incessant pressure. cuts of mazi s vocal twist things just that bit more evil as the house edged mood continues its push further into new depths of mayhem. the driving melody in >sarabbath< on b1 is quite a head-turner and should create a stir in the clubs, using the more minimal and melody side of this great 12inch

three tracks on this single there is the slope remix of daniel maggs o bah, which with its delay loops offers something for the deeper moments on the dancefloor. apart from that theres two remixes of tracks taken from the last slope album komputa groove. while house grooves ruled on the first 12 to be taken from the slope is dope compilation, this new single is more about broken beats. charles websters remix of nothing like this feeling embeds ovasoul 7s vocals in a playfully distorted, grainy synthesizer arrangement which is driven on by a nervous snare. the want choo longa edit by bugz in the attic members daz i kue and afronaught goes even further beats with an afro touch and a typical bugz bassline makes for an absolutely compelling recipe

joaquin durrieu aka paradoxxx is a producer hailing from buenos aries, argentina that already has a reputation for music that is freshly electronic and futuristic in its appeal. this is definitely one of the strongest 3 track eps to surface in the progressive house genre offering an upbeat approach that is all about zooming fx, layer upon layer of synths and melody sweeps anchored by crisp, crunchy beats

hit alert !! the debut dance single by the proxy aka yevgeny aka >the russian kid<. 3 tracks of nouveau pub-techno in a moscow stylee. already being championed by djs as shockingly diverse as erol alkan and 2manydjs, the lead single destroy might be the best russian song ever made. lada than a bomb !!!
