wandering the mojuba sublabel welcomes a new project named tyche for its 2nd journey. like the first jc freaks record these two tracks on two paths sound fresh but classic once again! overall both tunes have a very hypnotic feel, which is capable of making your body move, although the approach of the tracks are diametral … but you better take a listen on your own

featured on mr tejadas fabric mix cd ! >fractals< explores the inner musical geometry of john tejada’s electronic productions in 3 varieties. the opening track >fractals< builds driving, rhythmic layers, evolving modular blips and atmospheres which then reduce to reveal the elements that lie beneath. >the open< is a featured track on tejadas fabric 44 mix. just like a warm cup of morning coffee in your hand, it gives the feeling of a fresh new day and the possibilities that lie ahead. an ethereal piece that may remind some of tejadas classic melodic moments. continuing the nostalgic theme is the aptly titled >better days< a piano chord driven track which brings to mind classics from long ago, but with a tejada twist.

bates 3rd single >forever running<, gets remixed tim healey, better known to some as one-half of coburn, adds some dirty flavour and turns the track into a dirty heavy weight cage fighter! new kid on the black eelco ladan surprises with a quality mix

while the woolfy vs projections album got great feedback and is still running strong, we re happy to present you the first remix 12inch from the album with stunning remixes of absynth and the return of starlight by innervisions marcus worgull, whose much talked about remix for the juan mclean is out now and the invisible conga people, who had their impressive debut on italians do it better earlier this year and did a great simian mobile disco remix, which is featured on the recent remix album. both remixes make the track suitable for the dancefloor without loosing the spirit of the original track for maximum pleasure.

just when we think hes exhausted his stockpile of secret weapons!! heres another duo of killer edits from mr mang!! ray mang better known to his buddies as raj gupta is the behind the scenes guy who has had a hand in some of the uks finest discoid moments ever released! a plethora of releases on labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc have cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right and engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys & many more. the newly revitalized mangled label has given us an excuse to unleash these classic re edited and totally remastered cuts into the community.

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

t.b.s. (initials of the bloody sisters) is a band based in paris and, unlike the appearances, exclusively composed by men. they&#146,re about to release their first ep >time machine ep< on the label sismic music. already supported by new scene names such as mr flash, naive new beaters, this first ep with a definite electro-funk groove will feature the track time machine already available on the compilation ever better released by emi and an exclusive remix by alyoa aka guillaume manbell a half of teenage bad girl band.

the soon to be massive den haan are releasing their first 12 with dissident. this one contains 2 killer tunes, the sleazy hi -nrg ode to the worlds oldest profession and the italo-esque instrumental theme, night shift has been road tested by optimo for a few months now and absolutely smashes it every time and if anything theme is even better and more versatile. this is a 12 that will stay in a wide range of djs boxes for ages will be one of those that flies out fast so get your orders in quick, as you know, there will be no re-press.

rmxs by clouded vision & noob ! i met brodi early last year, he had a track called >bad runner< that i had been playing incessantly. it leaked onto blog sites months before its release on mental groove in october 2007. it found its way into erols box among many others very early on and the hot fuss began. as a dj, despite hailing from france (reims, lille), unexpectedly brodis taste is broad. if your expecting banging gnarly electro bombs… unlucky. he can play anything from noisy techno, bass heavy house through to more melodic minimal. plus, if you think you spend more time searching the net for new tunes than anyone else, think again. this guy is committed and now his second, and even better ep is here and he has saved it just for turbo

early support comes from loco dice, mathias kaden, after wba010, which was played already by ricardo villalobos, troy pierce, mathias kaden and also luciano, a role reversal takes place. this time chris lattner gets thechance to show his remix skills. frank leichers original track is hiking very calmly and dreamy into the evening. floating sounds are blending into melancholy and emotional euphoria cutted by short breaks. chris takes these floating sounds and switches them into deep voluminous basslines and ends after breaks, which are getting longer and longer, into a greatclimax. a great night cannot start better !!

beretta grey presents the second record by detroit duo >reference< a.k.a. luke hess & brian kage.. >reference vs. vol 1<, consists of collaboration with other key beretta grey artists ryan crosson and seth troxler. each song was carefully developed by all artists simultaneously. sessions were held at interstellar studios in detroit with all artists present. the initial musical concepts were recorded and written. next, the songs were sent back and forth until the finished product was agreed upon by all parties. in this fashion, the music created provides the character and soul of each artist, but fused together in a way that creates a more detailed account. one perspective alone does not capture the whole story. in this release, a feeling is captured by four artists, giving the listener a bigger picture, which helps to better capture the concepts of sound as it relates to a moment in time

the long awaited trentemøller debut album - maybe one of the most anticipated independent albums of the year. trentemøller is one of the hottest artists on the electronic circuit - the man of the moment! a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece, that will leave you breathless. the tracks form a story, almost like the soundtrack of a movie. it manages to capture a whole range of emotions in subtle melodic miniatures, dreamy ambiences, dusty beats, deep dub-tracks and driving groove-excursions. an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours and moods, -the last resort- without a doubt contains trentemøllers best work to date. although its an electronic album, it also incorporates live-drums, guitars, bass and other acoustic instruments like celesta, glockenspiel, melodica and even dj scratching to create a more organic feel

heavy plays by sven vÄth for this two cool techy groovin monster tunes...

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

this release has support from: sander van doórn/johan geilen/ernesto vs bastian & armin van buuren

a brand new ep from the count & sinden, which showcases their love of all sorts of club music, from garage to r n b, from hip hop to grime. lead track hardcore girls is the sound of the much hyped baltimore breaks scene, evolved, displaced and mutated as only the count & sinden know how. fronted by the hottest thing out of b more since the wire, 17 year old wild child of the mike, rye rye. she has been touring the states with mia and, now signed to interscope, she is set to do big things. her unique and energetic vocal is treated to one of the duo’s best bumpy bass grooves and the combined effect is nothing short of devastating. another new school talent picked up on by the count & sinden is ny. bubbling on the uk underground, she fronts the hardcore, jungle inflected soul that is fool in love. this is pop music for the now and tomorrow, a classic love song set to a raucous jungle inspired backing track which has become a live favourite over the summer.finally we have jme, a legend in the grime scene, known for his tight flows, guest appearances and his boy better know franchise. industry gives an overview of the pit falls of getting involved in the trickiest of games... the music business. and who would want to get involved in that shit!?!

here we have three tracks from the >some other country< album (k7 records 2007) smile and receive - roger 23 mix : featuring cassy (panorama bar) on vocals . remixed by the analog freak , roger 23 (playhouse /240 volts) hailing from deepest saarbrucken . super sub chicago house track , perfect for late night early morning playing .......pure analog heaven! imagine a morning at studio 54 projected into 2008 - wonky goodness. claktronic - experimental live percussion, flutes, and strange ramblings from the voice of daisy densham (aged 4) , add atmosphere to this swiss inspired house tune . why swiss you ask ? well i keep hearing cowbells! a very trippy vibe that gets into your brain, you will be hearing the loop all day. distress and calling - a blissful philip glass inspired sub bass growler , euphoric arpeggiated voices pad over the deep bass and tight snare drum , making up a fine ep of classic swayzak ........ the bigger the system the better this one sounds. crystal clear production all the way

following up from his widely acclaimed ep for workshop and his first solo-ep on mikrodisko, two new tracks emerge from the abyss that is kassem mosses studio, striking fear and awe in the hearts of mastering engineers. aqueous haze, his new ep for mikrodisko, starts with >no peace no love no unity<, an 808 driven stomp through landscapes of derelict synths buried in vintage and broken device chains. the track finishes off with a brief reminder of the past. the sixties? the seventies? they never sounded anything like this. >578< on the flip is out on a roll, straight ahead, not turning back, pushing towards a better tomorrow. the utopia that time forgot. we call it techno

this vinyl pack just gets progressively better with this subtle, sophisticated rich tapestry of melodic synth lines & sublime drums. ‘madhouse is already a favourite with the scenes heavy hitters. ‘sensei barks deep housey stabs combined with soulful chord progressions to make a this sexy dancefloor mover. funk dvoid & toby bearing no surprises here with yet another quality track. enter ‘six hours later - galactic textures & dubbed out chords make the finale of this bedrock series a hypnotising aural journey.

hailing from p diddys bad boy stable, carl thomas is getting favourable comparisons with ne-yo and the raw boys re visit the theme of their tenth release with this latest overhaul. the masters of r&b house, no one does it better and this smooth groover highlights their killer production, which comes with full vocal or stripped down dubstramental- another raw productions masterpiece to add to the collection.

kevin alves better known as gift, originally from chicago but living in denver, became the resident dj for silver saturdays at soma at only the age of 18 and held that residency for 2 years...djing alongside the likes of sandra collins, chris fortier, nick warren, timo maas. with previous releases on pure music, vapour recordings & lost language. gift currently holds a residency at denvers club lotus and has now signed up to the baroque label group! melody laided house music is the key to his sound & learning the art captures the sound of now perfectly. complete with heavier mixes from blue room project & echotek, this is a massive package from method!!

mr lee presents his better days series back again under a new guise of dj travel insurance 3 superb disco tinged re works of classic grooves some you know - some you wont

itamar sagi from the be as one label really made a name for himself with his black gold track that was released earlier this year. inspired by the warmer and more emotional side of detroit techno he very much captured something real and true in that song which certaintly paid off in the end. here he has done something a bit different. not less good though. actually better. this is a record for those moments when you need to increase the pace but still wants to keep the soul. perfect!

the clubby summer season of 2008 is just about to explode and the creme of electronic dance music is all but departed to their summer positions. while already packing their suitcases, jesus loved you crew still found time to release yet another in their grand series of records. the occasion was right and so was the choice: what better way to start the rockiest time of the year then to make public this exquisite collection, put together by one of the ibizas finest! guys like wally lopez hardly need to be introduced: playing with the most excellent and producing for the best position, wally lopez is widely considered to be one of spains leading deejays and producers. although he is working in london most of the time, mediterranean temper still runs through his veins always making his music sound positive and cheerful. in wideband wally lopez gives way to his love for bouncy rhythms and dramatic bridges taking us on a journey through his ever-changing soundscape. with a fine touch for the more relaxed ambience of summer partying, he keeps his base line low and gives way for his exciting melodies to develop freely

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …

the 15th release is another original from label boss james harcourt - and a summery house/tech track which features a strong bass line & piano based groove and the right ingredients to be a right little party starter! australian favourite and master of fat, funky genre-blending beats anthony mansicalco - better known as hook n sling - was been drafted in for the remix.

this japanese technopioneer has done some masterpieces last year on well respected labels such as audio assault and zwart. now its time to hit back with a stunning and pounding ep on the new label dynamic reflection. this kid is the headchef of mindcrushing synths, steady pounding beats and crispy percussionloops as the first track so clearly shows. the guys from radial put out an awesome remix on the a2! their rework leads you into the dark paths of techno, a true dancefloor killer! before checking the flipside you better insert your earplugs, cause here mr. hiyama comes up with an narly mind blowing stomper. he shows us how stuff like this is meant to be done and has no mercy on those eardrums. secondly there is another remix from the spanish wonderboy reeko, who takes you into the deep and dark dungeons of his spanish artgallery. with his heavy basslines and his extraordinary uplifting percussion loops he pushes himself to another level with this one! all n all a superior first release on this new and pure techno label, which perfectly reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come

mark e is simply unstoppable at the moment!! this is the fourth release in about 2 months and they just keep getting better… two epic slo-mo edits on jisco it is then. those of you that might remember the >smilling / for love< 12inch, this is in a similar sort of vein. slow, chuggy, with a gradual build-up thats tantalisingly sweet! as with all jiscomusic releases, this is highly limited so grab one quick!

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart

classic re-press of unbeliveable, killer 4-tracker from the legendary jersey champion. holds something 4 everyone: from summery house with live-strings and steeldrums (!), to an unearthly, melancholic vocal piece, plus one deep instrumental with shifting organ chords and pumpin drums. >reprise tha dread< is probably the hit here: rolling, dub reggae inflected jersey house with a sweet roots vocal (horace andy?) on top. house cant get much better than this!!!

over the past few months i have been closely watching the american presidential race. although i am canadian i have been inspired by the words of barack obama, so much so that i wanted to produce a release to show my support for his campaign. i believe when he becomes the next president of the united states he will not only change the country for the better, but will help unite the entire world. his perfect union speech lead me to the computer one afternoon and i hope you enjoy playing this release as much as i did producing it. believe in change. yes we can. - christian alvarez

played by c-rock, d julz, gregor tresher, 2000 and one, minilogue and many more… like no other german producer, hannover-born martin buttrich has been decisively influencing the sound aesthetics of electronic dance music since the middle of the nineties. having been more in the background for most of the time while working for and with timo maas and loco dice among others, his benchmark releases for carl craigs label planet e or poker flat have also spotlighted his original name in the public. buttrichs second ep for cocoon couldnt prove better his prediction that in 2008, minimal techno will be containing more warm and melodic components. strangely familiar but always surprising, again and i lost my wallet provide us with bassprone reduction somewhere in between techno and house, and harmony bits that remind of caribbean calypso sounds provide the feeling of the approaching summer which makes both tracks perfect for the final of the open air season 2008. at least, buttrich will be an integral part of the season closing between ibiza main river and spree.

uk electronic to breakbeat tunes

finest electronic beats mixed with deep male vocals in englisch + german language, telling a story of a silent and relaxing day in the pure nature. the lyrics are made very clear and simple and people will be able to feel this track for sure. in the middle of the track after the break, the track is having his peak time and it gives us the creeps. on board is a incredible kaiser souzai & nudisco remix which does fit better for the harder djs who play techhouse. playlist already: david penn, bad boy bill, victor simonelli, gabi newman, sandy rivera, disco boys, grant nelson
