played by dinky, karotte, trevor jackson!! these new tracks venture to the deeper, often evocative ends of techno and house. the title track fuses an percussive old school house groove with deep techno chords. so when the organ line kicks in, it gives you this very orginal emotion of timeless house. in keeping with einzelkind s unpredictable tendencies – he used to make drum n bass before he switched onto house and techno – you still can hear something of his former musical alter ego in the second track, >bonnieland<.based on a low-slung, growling bassline, the track gradually evolves to reveal a trippy sequence and lush chords, which sounds like the fusion of a detroity atmossphere with the dynamic of a drum n bass-track. a strong release, that consolidates the unique fingerprint of the two einzelkind-boys from frankfurt

new born label hertz records, sprung from the depths of scanian no-mans land, begins its crusade towards world domination with a release from detroit dutchman orlando voorn. the fix man genuinely delivers his best release in years, bringing the high energy funk as usual with two deadly dance floor killers. >enter< is a driving techno monster, with an old school detroit minimal groove akin to rob hoods productions on m-plant or even some of the more tame blacknation releases, updated with a modern freshness in voorns own unique style. but as this music does not translate well into words in our opinion, descriptions are useless until you hear it for yourself

stunning hardtechno to burn the floor !!! volume two is definitely a true treat for those sick of the other part of today s scene, which is exploring there way into the infinite abyss due to their search for the ultimate minimalistic sound. in the end there will be a few clicks and cuts left and most of those in need for percussive music will be begging for rock-hard, cut the crap sharpness like this new fatalic resignation !!

repeat orchestra (aka stefan schwander aka antonelli electr., rhythm maker, one half of the duo swimmingpool as well as being behind >a rocket in dub<) returns with another 12inch in his purest form of his electronic soul, based around live-performances, orchestral instrumentations and deep house. in a post-modern manner, the >asafa chords ep< operates differently as opposed to the standard sampling clichès of standard house-tunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. the two pieces follow a minimal yet above the norm musical approach, with tricky and advanced rhythms and a strong groove that lets the listener dive deeper into the world of a one-man-band, who likes to express his version of afro-futuristic housemusic by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and lots more of his personal flavour into his production. . the result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor that will guaranteed stand out from the rest.

new get physical sublabel !! these tracks are powerful and somewhat sinister affairs that make most sense when experienced as a blinding strobe light cuts through the back drop of dry ice in a darkened club.marsha sets a completely different tone. its still based on the same blend of windy city funk and intricate electronic rhythms, but the way that the seductive, chiming chords and dreamy break down unfold over the steely drums suggest that einzelkind has fallen in love. certainly, itll be hard not to be seduced by this layered, evocative track, especially if you hear it after a long night spent listening to intense techno.so there you have it: get physical has dragged a new label, kindisch. kicking and screaming into this world: let it be the place where you go to get all your teenage kicks!

as always with block, minimal, electro-ness is what s provided but this time with a subtle class that will simply blow you away. >killaz< slowly builds around an amazing melody, which changes with every turn. but wait till you hear >smoke<. jeeeezus! this is built round the mother of all bass lines and i dare anyone to try and stand still when this is playing
