rooted deep in a high-rising part of buenos aires, retiro, and in his temporary home of choice, berlin, two of the craziest and most vibrant music cities, dilo is known for his eclectic and exquisite taste in audio. his productions that sound like crystalline experimental upbeat hophop techno drones with a loopy undertone of clicky random shuffle murkiness are, quite simply put, some of the most marvelous releases around

incl rene breitbarth rmx! dubby touched electronic vinyl ep! bicoma, a band formed in 2007 by its components aless and medu (malaga/jaen-spain), part of the toys community (marbella). influenced by the most avantgarded sounds and experimental electronica but always focusing their style towards the dancefloor.

after 17 years of working together, tejada & leviste are back in the studio again putting their modular synths to good work. m tracks (m as in modular) features 4 analog workouts in varying styles. m track 1 features a melodic deep, yet driving track reminiscent of the duos best known work. m track 2 and 3 showcase a trackier sound focusing on basic elements while m track 4 turns in a much more experimental direction. the approach to this ep was a very fun, hands on process. analog sequencers are used to drive the various modular synths and their components. this process allowed for a more organic feel as the unstable electronics change over time as well as the manual changing of parameters over time. systems used include doepfer and frostwave sequencers, and modular systems consisting of cwejman, doepfer, harvestman and bananalogue modules. analog drum machines aided in the rhythms, however m track 3 was generated from pure modular hardware including the drums.

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

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

supported by: mark henning (soma), anthony collins (freak n chic), james priestley, sian (karmarouge), ptoile, daniela stickrofth , luciano esse (kailash), gavin herlihy (mood music) xpansul (minus),.. the sonotheque project was created at the end of 2005 by two producers david campanini and alexi dendias.they managed to create tracks with an experimental, obscure, sexy and spiritual feeling, remaining on that hype wave which is changing the fertile ground of techno and house. their style is a blend of digital and analogue sounds, groovy rythms and carefully researched melodies , with an aftertaste of jazz and funk….

likely ep is tims first release on tiefschwarzs souvenir label. lead track alike sounds like ivan smagghe jamming with richie hawtin in a warehouse rave in london, skirting a line between futuristic tech house and discerning electro. a live bassline holds down the groove as a trickling bleepy melody develops throughout the track. as more and more layers of elaborate sonic trickery are laid down, a driving snare jacks out the groove further before a series of effects laden breakdowns tighten the tension further and further. cowbells take the second phase of the track ever taughter before the groove emerges into a stabbing hook and pulsating synth noises that drive the dancefloor into blissed out oblivion. subtle vocals tease the ears in the background of the final strung out breakdown, never quite dominating the tune before the jacking bass and kick drop back in. ‘unlike shares a similar vibe for mixing live instruments with plug in madness. live sounding bassline and guitar lines open the track and roll out the groove before the main synth hook takes over. as the track rolls in and out of its breakdowns it lurches between reverb heavy, bleepy chaos and futuristic rhythms. think depeche mode writing an experimental instrumental on the moon in 2012 and youre halfway there. like many french artists these days tim lives and works in london and also collaborates with fellow frenchies ivan smagghe and dante eprom. he first caught the attention of vinyl sleuths with his excellent remix of db (8)s future now in 2004 and now runs his own label marketing music as well as pushing the boundaries of spacey electro flavoured tech house with his own solo material.

dark experimental industrial hardcore tech

incl an experimental electro track with a german vocal by mascha hengstermann

jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

experimental and abstract dub trax

a 2002 classic! experimental atmospheric traxx by andreas tilliander!

the munich resident florian senfter aka zombie nation or john starlight is well-known as the creator of tracks like kernkraft 400, souls at zero, space marines and last not least blood angels, which can also be found on the sound of the third season, and is thus a reliable choice for sweaty, energetic eruptions up to the fringe of demolition. this doesnt change significantly on road rage, which was originally released by ukw in a limited number of copies and is now the first sign of life from senfters studio, after three years of abstinence. with timehonoured plus 8 references and acid elements, the original recollects an almost gone quality of techno: to blow away your skullcap with the unashamed joy of telling stories, many breaks, some funky dirtyness and experimental noise playfulness. exclusively made for cocoon was the remix by parisian turbo producer popof who gives the track an even more intense gross-grained feeling. one does not have to be a prophet at all to tell that both versions are facing a great future in club autumn 2008 and beyond

somewhere between techno, experimental and detroit

ray valioso (aka swiss producer agnès) returns to real soon with the 4-track particles e.p. on the title track particles, ray uses a moog-like synth part and a treated rhodes piano to weave a hypnotic melody that drifts in and out of focus over a clatter of loose, live percussion and distorted voices. on tocar te, basic house maniobras and groove memories, ray is in less experimental territory and turns in three quality pieces of warm, percussive, luxurious deep house. this is ray valiosos second full release, following up on his well-received einladung e.p. (real soon, 2006) - featuring the excellent >get the strings?< - and his recent appearance on the deep vibes recordings compilation >in the streets<.

played by: karotte, mathias kaden, sebo k, stefan goldmann... franklins early musical roots began with a taiwan drumset and a hohner organ. after some training years under the influence of metal, jazz, 70sprog/rock and live perfomances as a versatile drummer his transition to electronic music began with an amiga 500 computer. the trackermusic of this machine lead him to the early techno music of the 90s and early production experiments in his fathers home studio. first releases followed in 1995 to 96 on the label fusion records (w/ 303 nation member, patrick vauillaume). later he released as tichy on various frankfurt techno labels until at the end of the 90s his search for inspiration brought him to a very experimental production phase without the 4 to the floor presetting. from this he developed his distinctive trademark sound with straight grooves and frisky sound design. meanwhile franklin was gaining more international recognition with releases on well-known labels such as trapez ltd, karmarouge noir, einmaleins musik and treibstoff. his singles entered the charts of the german groove magazine, german dance charts and the charts of djs worldwide. after his last release on resopal red he is coming up with his debut on leena music.

with the electronic justice 12inch, james t. cotton and d_marc cantu saw off another thick slab of classic chicago acid. opener >1mg< is a relentless teutonic grind, tightly constructed yet engraved with enough subversive tweaks to hint at the most experimental urges of james t. cotton_s other persona, tadd mullinix. >werkin house< and >static vision< follow close behind with the brooding squelch of a 303. and if these take us deep inside the darkest warehouse, then the title track reveals the inner depths of the artists themselves. >electronic justice< may well be 2am/fm_s manifesto, a rolling vocal creeper whose laser-beam pulses ebb and flow around a synthesized mantra: >experimental vision/ this is us, who we are/ this is our religion.< fitting words to chant, shout, or whisper in the flicker of a strobe at 2am, after all..

ltd backstock from 1999.. klunk are andrew weatherall and keith tenniswood - driven minimal techno / electro / experimental

nice price deal !!! big with mickey moonlight, tensnake, cosmo vitelli, todd terje, joakim and the permanent vacation crew. they ve been called one of dance music s best kept secrets jackpot. in 1983 italian experimental sound artist marco donatello and swedish synth pioneer gleen asp made recordings together. their ambition was to put sound to an art-project but the result was an erotic cocktail of italo-esque melodies, ebm rhythms, and filmic arpeggios. legend has it the music was made as an excuse to press records off a narcotic solution in order to smuggle drugs, and that a mishap during the operation explains why we haven t heard these tracks before. in any case, this is an exclusive document of unknown yet truly unique swedish dance music.

breakin boss ed dmx supplies six tracks of freaked-out modular synth madness mangled through the macintosh into some weird high-velocity electrofunk. edmx is eds alias for the more hard and fast stuff, these tracks are experimental but with lots of sub-bass and high tempo beats with unusual grooves. edmx can be seen performing around the world, recently played in japan with breakin artists ceephax acid crew and also appeared this year at the bang face weekender, the bloc weekend party and will continue to play out globally throughout the summer

daniel mehlhart steps up to the plate for kindischs seventeenth release, origami - an exquisitely deep, languid house jam laced with strung-out, processed spanish guitar and gently euphoric xylophone arpeggios. >origami< is languid, yes, but not exactly laid-back: its held up and propelled forward by a gently vibrating lattice of kickdrum and snare hits, through which a dubby, molten bassline and taut, time-keeping chords dreamily but determinedly flow. the perfect soundtrack to the mixed pace of summers long days and even longer nights. mehlhart harks back to his acclaimed past releases on karmarouge and neutonmusic for >alles klar alles easy<, which sees brushed drum and shaker sounds edited into a quietly explosive techno work-out with serious swing. >fata morgana< begins in a more linear, four-to-the-floor style, but those percussive flourishes quickly accrue into something more strange, and then out of the ether comes an entrancing, south american-style chorus line. the voices mingle imperceptibly with woodblock strikes and caustic snares, injecting the techno dna >fata morgana< with a sick and psychedelic voodoo funk. with this 12inch kindisch once again proves itself to be a preeminent stable for experimental, expressive dancefloor music, and daniel mehlhart affirms his status as one of our most daring and capable producers

a third ep on trenton from theodor zox and his copenhagen grooves! >moodswinger< is a bit of a more house-y record but still with theodors recognizable touch, short sounds and shuffled beats. still theodor explores new corners of funkiness while making sure he gives you that bounce. its summer after all. on the >moodswinger< remix, reynolds re-interprets the track with different keys. as its his forte, reynold drops some cinematic shit in the middle before bringing back the funk hard. all that and he still manages to keep the track tight and solid. the 2 tracks on the inside are a bit more experimental and make that record a perfect tool for early, peak time and after hours sets. thanks for supporting us and keep it real

introvert (aka jukka varis) was born in northern finland in 1982. he lives now in helsinki, which is situated in the southern coast of finland. he has been making music for over 7 years, including progressive house back in 2004-2005 and his first own release from aurium records. the words >original<, >emotionally attractive<, >artistic<, >atmospheric< and >experimental< are the best to describe introvert’s sound. it gives people different moods and visions, something to listen closely to and to think about, and it works on the dancefloor too.

dj-support by adam beyer, alexi delano, paco osuna!! on his 2nd ep on aesthetik brian james shows his true colours. dark, deep and stripped down techno with a solid old school, almost chicago-esque feel to it. rubber doll instantly grabs you through its simplicity and efficiency. pulsating beats, a mental bassline with a slight bleepy feel to it. a true techno dj s delight. madrid s techno maestro xpansul turns rubber doll into a harder edged techno stomper. edgy technoid sounds and xpansul s trademark dark rhythmic craziness makes this track essential to any self-respecting techno jock! panic in detroit is again a typical brian james throbbing techno piece for when dancefloors go into >mental mode<. bubbling custard takes a more experimental direction, reminiscent of early dark model 500 tracks, but jacked up in brian s very own wickedness.
