connect four records is the new sub-label of tic tac toe records. weve established it to focus on all the brilliant sounds in the deep minimal house neighbourhood – and after 2 very successful releases, were now ready to give you the fabulous 3rd – this time from turkish newcomer murat Özer. murat was born in istanbul/turkey in 1977 and fell in love with music at such an early age that hes forgotten when. he started out his active musician-ship in the 90s as a bassist at a junior high rock band then went on as a guitarist and finally as a drummer in various jazz & rock bands. however, since his childhood, bands like >depeche mode<, >tears for fears<, >spandau ballet<, >human league< and such have always drawn his attention towards electronic music

shlomi aber has delivered his debut release on ovum. coming off his successful releases on cocoon and renaissance. shlomi is one of the hottest producers of the moment and he has delivered a twelve inch that is totally ovum. the original mix is is an absolute roller. shlomi knows how to deliver the groove. he manipulates the percussion to creat a very cool rhythm that builds to a prime time climax that drops back into that infectious groove. on the b side gel abril brings in the 303 to give the track a twisted approach. the acid mix is an absolute stormer ready to devistate any main room set! gel abril tweaks the acid line into perculating climax that drops back in to devistate any dance floor. this record is big!!

i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

first techno output by this collaboration between mario masullo, already known for his records on defrag and for his collaboration with g man, and maurizio martusciello, one of the pioneer and key figure in the italian electronic scene. woy out lines is a melting pot between different styles with an ear to the past and an eye on the future. on the a side a stylish minimal tune that present a solid, sophisticated groove with 303 pattern interaction and a melancholic and touching pad that give to this track a special taste that reject the abused micro techno trend. on the flip side dogon, here the 303 pattern is the body and the front of the track, the bass line is mind blowing and evolves floating during the whole arrangement, tribal voices, percussions and distorted synths to complete this energetic tune. m203 is a futuristic detroish track where the machines meet the softwares techniques to create an hybrid sound, the bass line is preminent but is well mixed with a lot of small details and concrete sounds. overall woy out lines is an eclectic and tasteful record

rmx by audion (matthew dear), fresh from mixing the third installment in the >body language< series, uk dj/producer in berlin jesse rose puts out his debut ep for get physical and he opens his account with a timeless house track. >didn t i< is a seductive, dubby piece of music with a niggling vocal sample and warm, jazzy chords. as the sun rises over scenes of decadence in the panorama bar at jesse s monthly residency there, this is the musical soundtrack that will give the weary party goers some relief. jesse goes in a more daring direction for his own >made to play< remix. it starts to the sound of an orchestra tuning up, retains the vocal sample and makes the jazzy hooks more tripped out. rose s shuffling, twitching rhythms are a welcome relief for any dj who is sick of having to stick to straight 4/4 tracks all night. on the flipside matthew dear delivers a remix of >didn t i< in his audion guise.

uh hugh, this side of the record is a story that tells its self. dirt mixed with crunchy melody and excitement, makes this mix of bouncing bubbly blobs an irresistible must have. low end sub loving bass lines and analogue riffs all together with a voice that tells it like it is >uh hugh<. this side also holds the fort as far as the oldschool is concerned. deep, lush and full on non stop madness. jump in and roll in it. viography. this vibrant electro pumper is another one of pig&dan s more positive good time tracks that has made the duo name more present in the boxes of the less techno orientated dj s. it s feel and vibe still hold the electronic imprint to be expected of their previous works, but with a melodic edge that is unique and has a smile appeal that reaches peaks of musical bliss. this production has its little twists that give it an acid vibe and a feel which was present in the oldshool

one listen to ‘atlantis to interzone’ and the several miles of dots between post punk psychedelic pop and pill popping dance music are quickly joined, where screaming sirens and samples straight out of a field in ‘89 give way to the punked out half-falsetto, half melodic breakneck vocals and drums. klaxons (that s jamie, simon and james) created a chorus that can be both screamed drunkenly and sung quietly to yourself on the bus. this anthem (of the year?) is offered with remixed version by our extra-skills duo digitalism, alongside an extra long industrial technoid mix by nightmoves and a ‘break for love’ mix by dave p and sparkles’

notic nastic is, once more, another newcomer act on tonkind, who has to be watched with highly attention. its predicated individual sound made it become a hype on myspace within a month. so other labels, producers and popular djs already are asking to license and to remix several tracks, although it isn’t even out yet. we can t give to much infos about the backround and identity of the charachter behind this act, due to the fact that there is an aim, to stay anonym. that gives us more space to talk about the music itself and esspecialy about this debut release on tonkind

trimsound is a new label from none other than tom ellis, leif and joe ellis. they have had great releases on labels like morris audio and moon harbour. they give us a solid four tracker, with varying tracks from quirky house on track 1, to more glitchy minimal detroit - inspired grooves on track 2. this is the future of modern techhouse music, cutting edge and seriously funky with new sounds and samples

grandmaster thomas melchior steps along in his lightfoot manner. although with a somehow decent melancholic note, the two deep and reduced tracks should show a similar effect as the announcement >we give away ipods for free on the dancefloor<. these tunes make us extremely corious about his new album, to be scheduled for a 2007 release on perlon

this 12 kicks off with jam 2 tha mother,a track that has been doing the rounds for a while as a westpark unit track apparently. its a fairly nice hiphouse bumper.its all about miles though. the looped piano sample works wonderfully well with the straight deep disco beats. and while the original is good, the soulphiction remix is the icing on the cake. they give it a certain industrial/techy edge, and make the sample stand out even better. add to that some dope detroit beatdown bass licks and beats, and you ve got yourself a catchy tune

the sweetversion of let’s get down is based on a basic spanish guitarmelody with uplifting vocals and funky hihats. the funky guitar even gets a little outof tone sometimes, to give that real 12 inch feeling to it. the low bassline combined with the stabbing kick delivers a groovy summerfeeling to the track.the original mix is a powerful clubrecord with an electro twist. especially the fatchunky bassline puts the dance floor to work.the groove remix started out as a experimental version of lets getdown but the vocals were so catchy, playectra decided to produce a more groovy version of it. the rawsounding guitar and crushedhihats makes the track loose his sweetness to give the track a stronger and energetic feel. the long break in the middle of the track pushes the track to a climax. the filtered guitars and loud bassline makes the track a little bit french sounding

after some 12inch for their mates of goodlife (the hacker & oxia label) or ozone (kiko label), the twice friends give us two titles as a tribute to their favorite cult tv serie of their childhood >galactica<, with an unstoppable killer remix by thier close friend the hacker. a side, « loss », start as a classical oldschool techno track with an acid flavor, big deep ravy voices & hypnotic twisting groove and finish with an emotionnal & melancolic melody . b side >galactica< revisited by their neighboor the hacker, is immediatly identified as a classical sound of the famous worldwide producer : a sharp of straight oldschool electro, a zest of acid, square beats and post new wave sounds for a killer dancefloor result. then the original, to close the 12inch is a classical combination of a big kick and hi-energetic sounds for a cutting vision of contemprary dancefloor techno
