anyone who ever has listened to a live performance or a record of illeist collective knows of the difficulty to describe the sound they come up with. some say its big beat, some say its rock, electro or dance music. and as always, the truth is somewhere in between, somewhere along the lines of bands such as soulwax, digitalism or friendly fire. and the best way to find out is to listen to their energy-loaded, genre transcending and - most importantly - uncompromising music.

a few times a year, a label releases a single that rocks the industry and the upcoming release from hidden recordings does just that. gregory shiff, who has also released off of such high caliber labels as stewart walkers persona label in berlin, produced the original and the label enlisted techno luminaries adultnapper, tony rohr and pheek, along with deepak sharma and dieter krause to add remixes to put together a five track monster that will, and should be in the crates of djs around the world for the rest of this year and beyond. the best part about the release? the remixers brought their a-game and put forth effort that has helped make them some of technos most revered producers and artists. simply put, all five tracks rock and will pound the dancefloor

jack this is a typically powerful and funky slice of peak-time techno from tom hades. the main hook comes from a big descending siren that is worked in around the groove and succession of drops and builds.
loco & jam (1605, mb elektronics) are selected for remix duties fresh from winning best new artist at the 2010 irish dance music awards. their mix takes the groove deeper but still retains the incendiary edge.
barnes bachelor rounds off the package with its linear, driving groove and gentle melodic shifts that lift up the darker, brooding undertones of the bassline. a subtle but effective track for the longer sets / early hours.

the titling for the second single taken from cari lekebuschs forthcoming album >state of the art<, continues in the horror tinged theme opening with the epic >bodysnatcher<, a nine and a half minute odyssey into the outer realms of rolling, glitchy techno. tight percussion and deep end bass set the tone for a fervent mix of resonant and modulated riffs and fx, exquisitely produced and deftly mixed this is another great example of lekebusch at his best.

it is no secret that the 1980s was probably one of the best decades. 1986 was in particular a very memorable and historic year across the world. it also happens to be the year delete was born and the name of the groove laden a-side. >1986< does not boast any sci-fi effects or other worldly sounds, it does however have one of the catchiest bass lines out there. >our generation< pours a real telltale chicago house vibe, complete with derrick carter style vocals and a bone-chillingly infectious four-note pad melody. this is eyes closed, hands in the air euphoric house. the 12 inch rounds out with delete still showcasing his knack for creating funky bass lines with, >lunchbox<. this number runs a bit deeper than the first two tracks, as it is rolled along by little percussion edits and snippets that evoke a more subtle laid-back vibe.
