sherard ingram makes electro like no other: hi-speed electro soul, reflective soundtracks of desolation, spooky zombie mutations and relentless sci-fi bass is what makes up social engineering, his second outing on trust. a true detroit survivalist, ingram has famously recorded with carl craig, kenny dixon jr. and anthony shakir on the seminal urban tribe album the collapse of modern culture (mo wax 1998). he has since been associated with drexciya as dj stingray and recorded two albums for aphex twins rephlex label.

in the year of punk 1977, the jams exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. the raw, unfettered aggression of the bands approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the mod movement of the mid 60s. singer/guitarist paul weller comes off like a cross between joe strummer and the young pete townshend, bashing unreservedly through slow down, one of the r&b tunes that inspired the original mods. weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture over the raging three chord attack of bassist bruce foxton and drummer rick buckler. the pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky arrangements, which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.

zimmermann alias jens zimmermann aka tyrell corp. aka dj gargamel is constantly changing yet always the same: a damn good producer. from his early days when he whipped up tracks by culture beats and out of the ordinary into dancey frenzy with well-known german producer torsten fenslau, to his drum n bass-fuelled moments of technical innovation, jens has never been one to stand still. constantly reinventing hilmself, he always managed to keep things ticking, making him one of the most sought-after producers in the late eighties and throughout the nineties. now, in 2007, after years of noise research and sound sculpting, he is re-emerging as zimmermann which stands for >new german minimal sound<. after three much-celebrated releases, aptly called zimmermann #1, #2 and #3 on room recordings, which were severely hyped up by germany s house fraternity, and releases and remixes on boxersport, k2,and hifreaks as well as on harthouse mannheim, the future is looking bright for jens

imagine the audacity of fusing, in less than five minutes, the entire history of dance music: from the sexual liberation of 70s disco to the gimmicky black funk of chic, from dark 80s house to the ecstatic electro which lit up 90s raves and also from daft punks french touch to todays guitar riffs that are driving the kids wild. take an innocent childrens chorus backed by pulsing electronics and an arpeggiator that sends chills up your spine topped then top it off with disco violins, nice! and what better way to make bodies move, since it is dance music after all, than a mastery of production that rocks the beat in the mould of great american producers like timbaland, the neptunes and dr dre. this is a hit that is ten years ahead of its time , paying homage to the seminal house music of larry levans remix of sesame street, « d.a.n.c.e » by justice is already a classic as their pop music influences continue to revolutionize dance music culture
