detropolis (original mix) is optic nerves take on detroitís infrastructure rebuilding. detropolis opens with the unmistakable optic nerve strings giving you a sense of riding on a futuristic people mover in the night time summer air. the dark and twisted growly baselines makes you long for partying in the new downtown detroit.

usually, the purpose of a piece like this is to tell other writers, music mag editors, distribution people and record shop clerks why they should like a certain release and buy, hype, review it. often these encomiums are not really honest and sometimes you even feel like attending an attempt to sell a flat tire. as for i:cubes new longplayer m megamix things are – of course! – very different. being its fifth solo album, an introduction of a man like nicolas chaix or even his biography (another popular brick of sales sheets) seems rather unsuitable. if you dont know what you should know, just use your internet search engine with any of these terms: chateau flight, versatile records, french touch, disco cubizm or parisian prodigy.

this release represents the inception of aniligital musics curator series. limited edition vinyl-only releases of exceptional music. chocolate penthouse is a musical collaboration between jean-claude bertrand and julian juju barber. they refer to themselves as self-loathing frenchmen in pursuit of dance and music perfection. the bands >whitney houstons bathroom ep< is a product of their braguette dissertation at juilliard. the san francisco-based duo melds punk rock roots with modern-day dance d ontologie. electronic music that reflects the spirit of live performances, where themes and phrases emerge while transitioning organically, inspired by the moment rather than a pattern. also included on the record is tal m. kleins manchester inspired remix of the bands >quiche aux trois fromages<.

from franco cinellis main remix to his nyc bass line mix going through the hatapella tool, the man in charge takes all the glass original elements remodeling them to higher grounds. franco cinellis genius blend of dubby techno with original 90s nyc house synths and bass lines proves once again to be the perfect balance. this re-edition record follows up on two brilliant edits on aux-rec, baker man by soul clap and caught up by childhood 87. by aux-rec criterion, it will only come out on 12 inch vinyl. franco cinellis nyc bass line mix will be accessible as bonus to record-buyers only.

re-issue of this timeless 1977 electronic release by michael bundt, way ahead of its time.

detroit, 1993. the burden brothers, known for their octave one project and 430west record label, start a new sub label called direct beat. it was created to release the techno electro sounds of inner city detroit. in 1995 the label was in full effect and released music produced by friends such as tommy hamilton, keith tucker, mad mike banks, will web and them self.
now 15 years later we know that direct beat was one of the big influences on how electro and techno is today. together with underground resistance, axis, m-plant in detroit and some like minded people in europe and artists such as drexciya, aphex twin, autechre and dopplereffekt it changed the way people looked at techno... it broke away from the dominant 4/4 kick and brought back the funk and emotion that disappeared once house and techno became popular and mainstream music in the early 90s.
we are happy to bring back direct beat records by making some of its classics available for a new generation. this is a part of techno music history we may not forget about! especially in these days that people consume more and more of the format tracks. this shows that emotion, passion and energy creates much more then just a dj tool... it creates tracks that become part of peoples life! and not for just one or two months in your i-pod... but for the rest of your life in your record collection! timeless classic collection... must have!

it is a task that detroit native aaron-carl has done consistently since 1996. as one of detroits most in-demand producers, his signature sound crosses genres -- from soulful, gospel-infused house, to the dirtiest ghettotech anthems. aaron-carl is hailed as a powerhouse in detroits electronic music scene. with a discography to die for, he has remixed some of the motor citys biggest names – underground resistance, scan 7, aux 88 & kelli hand, as well as international artists like chicago house legend dajae, icelandic techno stars gus gus, and african jazz great manu dibango, to name a few. as a vocalist, aaron-carl showcases a broad range. from the haunting chill of >crucified< and >sky< to the seductive whispers of >down< and >21 positions<, to soul-stirring shouts of >alright< and >my house< ac prides himself in not just making records, but classics. his >let me tell you something about house music< acapella (appropriately titled >the word<) is one of todays most sampled house vocals, while >down< is still a staple in the clubs – for more than a decade after its release.

moving away from the multi artist approach of the previous 7 releases, ir-008 sees jason brunton take a more direct approach to the dancefloor with this straight up techno workout. stabbing chords run amok over a xxl moroder-esque bassline-hints of basic channel, carl craig and the shuffling rhythms all combining to create something both fresh and familiar at the same time. since his initial outings on headpace and iridite many years ago, marco bernardis career has went from strength to strength with a string of releases on glasgows soma records and a fruitfull relationship with the dutch masters clone- here he takes mixed metaphors in a new direction- crazed synthetic vocals combine with ice cold strings and electro beats worthy of any aux 88 or kraftwerk release! rei loci turns in a superb reworking, moving into deeper realms and coming off like early robert hood crashing into maurzios back yard!

after 3 years of his success on electrix records - max is back to collaborate with keith tucker… this time on a groovy but hard track >electrotech<. you can feel detroit 4/4 floor beats with cold robot synths and the hot voice of the aux 88 front man

model 500 and drexciya mixed together gives dynarec.. probably the most productive guy in the electro/techno scene at this moment. dropping one hot release after another... must have for all fans of model 500, drexciya, aux 88 and underground resistance!

the french trio evergreen (previously name we are evergreen) grew up listening to pop music from the us and the uk. yet, like many of the most influential artists of todays french pop scene (fishbach, halo maud, etc.) they value both french and english to deliver their message. this new album Ôoverseas was recorded with ash workman (fran¨ois & the atlas mountains, metronomy, christine and the queens), and see the band use a warm sound loaded with synthesizers and draw influences from the likes of django django, air or metronomy to craft percussive electro-pop songs.

features the same tracks in the same order. short info: since 2016, rˇmy poncet aka chevalrex sits among the top new french songwriters to watch thanks to futurism (vietnam, 2016), an intimate sophomore album critically acclaimed by the press and on which he plays all the instruments. wondering how one finds his/her place in todays world while staying true to him/herself, chevalrex offers his answers in this third album and leaves behind his minimalist compositions to raise his ambitions and push his music into a whole other dimension. recorded this time with additional musicians and even a whole string orchestra, anti slogan compiles ten songs meticulously crafted in which the worlds of jim orourke, vincent delerme, tindersticks and boris vian collides, showcasing a level of refinement hardly ever heard in the french pop scene.
