producer toby leeming is making quite a name for himself. after a year of sowing the seeds on the underground, this london-based artist makes his first high profile release on arts newly formed dance division series. >messier 66< contains all the classic elements of pure dancefloor techno. driving ur style beats merge with basic channel chord delays - all underpinned by a menacing acid line. techno doesnt get any more sci-fi than the alien soundscapes of >anadine< - its classic detroit-inspired string stabs and abstract vocal washes are highlights of a frantic, scattering track that will keep the feet busy on the dancefloor. >paucity< ends this no-filler ep with its majestic, sweeping pads and uplifting melodies. the beats are still tough and relentless - making a perfect finale to the second release on arts dance division series.

we have never done a project like this before where the artists choose all the remixers themselves. but for the crazy italoboyz album >bla bla bla< we found ourselves not really knowing what to do. so instead of forcing our own ideas for remixers we went back to the source and let the artists run wild on the a&r. marco and fede commissioned all the remixers themselves. the producers they chose are a very diverse bunch and the vinyl 12inch takes a sampling of the best material from two very big underground names. on the a-side das kraus duo turn it a super jackin yet also very haunting rendition of >oh mio dio.< it sounds like pitched up chicago house meets demon days. on the b-side old school master dandy jack turns in one of the oddest records ever on mothership with some unusual sound design, voices and semi-dischordant note runs. super weird for the super weird! whatever you think of this odd lot no one can deny these remixes definitely carry the indistinguishable mark of that ever so quirky duo, the italoboyz
