a classical neil young album mastered from the original analog master tapes

proper disco on 2x 12 inch vinyl

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

droid hit maker david flores aka audio injection has become one of the west coasts most prolific techno producers in 2010 with releases on timefog, enemy, subsensory, 4track, impact mechanics, droid recordings, and an upcoming remix with production partner drumcell on clr. well known for his collab work with drumcell, audio injection comes into his own on droid 10 with a remix by luis flores.

ricardo villalobos playlist!! the endless white of the far north. the opening melodies of adam marshalls >north at night< can be heard faintly over the whistling wind. a small black dot appears at the centre of the distant horizon. at first it appears to be still, but gradually we recognize movement. over the next few minutes the shape begins to grow until it has defined the image of a man walking towards us. as he approaches, the music grows clearer. like the warmth of the first sunlight >rose mountain< radiates its glow through the use of a flurry of rhodes electric piano chords. adams signature percussion permeates the dub and binds its elements into an infectious groove. >mfb flex< is the counter balance to the organic flow of the other cuts and molts the warmth into a techno roller designed for the long player mix. marshall said… >ive long been intrigued by that incredible tapestry of tundra and taiga which constitutes the arctic and sub arctic of our country. ive read about it, written about it and even pulled up my parka once and gone there, yet, like all but a very few canadians, ive had no real experience of the north. ive remained, of necessity, an outsider. and the north has remained for me a convenient place to dream about, spin tall tales about, and in the end, avoid<

after a 2 and a half year wait i finally managed to knock out a new single. its actually only my 3rd solo single ever. im very happy with it but ive got mixed feelings trying to describe it. you spend a year working on a track and a lazy shop worker or journalist will lump you into the >cosmicbalearicspacewhatever< straightjacket in 2 seconds, i can at least resist to do the same… anyway, two are quite psychedelic and one is some kind of cover version of one of my favourite villalobos trax. as you can hear ive had loads of fun fooling around in the studio playing the bass, percussion, drums(badly) and synths(even worse…)…

its about time that i put you all up on some more electro...yeh, i know, ive been pretty biased with all the hip hop & sneaker posts! the blogs going to have a bit of a facelift soon, including some of the content, so stay tuned! anyhow, this gem comes from french duo donovan. to sum up their style, theyve got a chromeo-esque kind of sound to them, crunchy electro with an 80s feel. theyve also banged out some sick remixes for the likes of sebasiten tellier & in the club (their remix of turn you on is straight fire). breakin sounds great dave spoon (radio 1 - worldwide) yet another quality release from work it baby. this label really has developed its own sound release by release and its always a great quality especially in these days of all the same.matteo esse (cosmonote srl / various worldwide) charlie fanclub remix is real nice dj neoteric (many / dubsided records / national + international touring) i fucking love the charlie fanclub mix, totally up my street. i will be hammering it. (and joining charlies fanclub!) jack allsopp (just jack ltd) & more… fake blood, kim (the presets), aquasky, the c90s, matteo esse, colin peters, malente, sammy jo (scissor sisters), jaymo & andy george, john jones (hed kandi)

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

mysterious and most of all vinyl only whitelabels seem to be the call of the day. if they are as good as this one here i have no doubt - this trend will stay our fried. open produced bassy and sweat boxing, slamming chicago - detroit- chicago style house with great piano chord and slight pitched atmosphere. somehow between early chez n ron and roy davis , dj pierre, kerri, mood2 swing, nu groove, kot. now ive almost named them all. oops… . sinister but oh so sexy!

the ma-hooe-ive cheap thrills gets a new vocal and heafty remix package from the data machine!! a sure fire summer smash with support from everyone!

positiver, hypnotischer & housiger minimal-techno der so minimal gar nicht ist. wir möchten luciano (cadenza) zitieren, der sagte: >it s really good ive been digging the track on the weekend , its the bomb and make people smile and dream about a new story.< dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen

the kazey & bulldog picture disc is followed by the first d2s release from our hero rod lee - a baltimore legend in his own right and in our eyes the no. 1 club producer, bar none. this super aggro dude has serious issues. he just needs to open his mouth and kids cry flames. for his first d2s release, rod commits re-mastered versions of two of our favourite cuts produced by the man. we first heard >understand< when we scored a bunch of scottie bs ebay auctions, and to this day its one of the best baltimore tracks ive ever heard. you can play this sh*t anywhere and the crowd just freaks out. hip hop heads love it, techno heads love it, even your girlfriend loves it. we coupled it with rods simple but ultra effective remix of the eurythmics classic, >sweet dreams<. when the catch an attitude tour dropped in on our club in glasgow, a-trak dropped this beast for all of 30 seconds and people went nuts. bannanas even. you could argue that the eurythmics remix thing is overdone and outdated, but if you did so, wed know for sure you hadnt heard rods version. anyway... we tracked it down and got it on the flip, so really this is more like a double a. both cuts are re-mastered (but still raw like the day they were made) and cut loud on heavy 12inch vinyl

peter introduces himself like this, >ive started making music with an oric-1 home computer in the middle of the 80ties, later the commodore amiga was the flagship and then....the casio fz1 and now i use the galaxy of software and the korg mx1, roland tr727, roland jx8p, korg ms20, yamaha tg33, yamaha dx7 so i guess that it makes things clear, peter is one of these producers that uses older analogue machines along more recent software gears. and you can sure hear it in its productions, it sounds huge, powerful while style wise keeping things on to the soul filled part of the dance floor. peter delights us here with two stunning tracks that contain modern beats structures echoing rather old school house patterns and hooks. as always with peters incredible music, originality, surprises and ingeniosity are 100% at the rendezvous

well, ive known markus for a while and hes a damn good producer. hes been here for a while now and has been releasing on labels like maw, raw fusion, sonar kollektiv or deeply rooted to name a few. his music is always elegant and his production has an edge. lately he lets his early rave and techno influences shine through. for remixing, we got lucky to have >redshape<. hes definitely one of the most interesting producers at the moment and has understood detroit techno and house much better than anyone right now. both mixes are lo-fi and dirty, with a proper sexy groove. needless to talk too much about it: if you like real house and techno just.. .

all tracks on arti farti have been tested out the last 6 months by our local heroes, and have been proven to work in many a club:-) a: yesteryear: this one is rough. combining modern tech house with some old school >funky< rythms, and catchy keyboard riff, this one has blown up floors for me for a long time. its full of details, and has that eiry >ive heard this track before< feel to it. a massive hit in copenhagen allready, i hope itl be one for you too. full support from a bunch of big djs b: out run in: as the title suggests, this is yet another return to the olden days. i love records like computer madness, but they absolutely sound like crap next too newer releases. this is my tribute to the days where a 808 and a 101 were enough to creat magic hope you like the stuff, and remember. stay on the scene, like a fax machine!!

the new haiti groove comes with a nice filtered summer house tune by norwegian guys bjorn kaarud and john moss. incl a more electro house proggy flavoured remix by christian sol and a funk driven remix by dj vitamin d. supported by deep dish, jesse garcia and grant nelson

funky loop tech two tracker, a little bit oldskool infected, tracks by javy union & sebastian kramer - for lovers of mark broom and surgeon...

patrice strike comes back with a killer electro house track love songthat even before its release receives great feedback from djs such as joachim garraud ive just listened to your track, i dig the electro-rock version, bravo. the title is already available on the sound of beachmade in ibiza compilation which will be released at the end of june

number 1 in sven väth's dj-lp charts...jay is the clown of the class, a wizard, a passionate dj, a loudmouth and above all an extraordinary observer. ultracool minimalistic tech tracks

cool deeper tribal funk by sandy rivera…played by satoshi tomiie!!

z records continues its commitment to unearthing the obscure and long forgotten tracks from the last 40 years with the much-anticipated follow up to backstreet brit funk. volume 2 has been eight years in the making and continues to showcase the best of the genre from the late 70s to early 80s, compiled once again by joey negro.

a decade has passed since tobias freund and max loderbauer aka non standard institute (nsi) released their enigmatic collection of non-standards. playing with mystery is the name of the game here as well. the new cd, entitled with the code 5863, is the result of collecting creative moments over years and stringing together twenty short pieces that jointly amount to almost an hour of playtime.

langeweile. faulheit. totale teilnahmslosigkeit. ist es nun schon eine so genannte quarter life crisis oder einfach nur eine ausrede, um blo§ nie erwachsen werden zu mźssen? fragen wie diese, sind die eckpunkte jener welt, in die washed out mit seinem ambitionierten neuen visual-album mister mellow aufbricht. fźr viele, viele vertreter der generation y ist das leben derma§en dramatisch und problematisch, dass es mithin schon absurde zźge annimmt. und die methoden, mit denen sie sich von den ganzen unsicherheiten und unwŠgbarkeiten abzulenken versuchen, die zu ihrem alltag gehšren, sind dabei nicht weniger absurd - da ist alles von social media bis hin zu fantasywelten dabei, von drogenexzessen bis zu musik-eskapismus. mister mellow, das erste komplett als multimedia-werk angelegte album von washed out, fźhrt durch all die hšhen und tiefen dieser oftmals lŠcherlichen alltagskŠmpfe und beleuchtet dabei augenzwinkernd auch das gro§e paradox, dem man immer wieder begegnet: wie kann es sein, dass wir derma§en unzufrieden und gelangweilt sind, wo wir doch eigentlich alle erdenklichen privilegien genie§en und somit mehr als zufrieden sein kšnnten? auf -mister mellow- dominieren eher experimentelle collage-techniken � la musique concrŹte. free jazz, house, hip-hop und psychedelic haben allesamt ihren platz in dieser welt, in der auch interlude-artige voiceover-samples aufblitzen, woraus sich insgesamt ein hektisch-chaotischer und karikaturistischer mix ergibt, in dem sich die reizźberflutete psyche dieser generation widerspiegelt.

roman flźgel: i think the first 5 tracks of the album are simply fantastic

following two ep releases on delusions of grandeur the time felt right for thatmanmonkz to get working on his debut lp. the sheffield b-boy is no newcomer to production having been releasing music since the mid-noughties but has seen a definite rise in interest the last few years following essential releases on his own shadeleaf label as well as remixes and productions for the likes of classic, kolour ltd and kons startime. with his first musical love being hip hop its easy to understand how his approach to house turns out so refreshing.

in on my way, a rich cultural heritage has been distilled into an upfront album of burning dance floor action, showing us why the bbe-crowned king of digging has for so long remained a formidable, worldwide musical icon.

tricky is back. back with a new studio album, false idols, and his own label (also bearing the false idols name), but also back in a personal sense. i was lost for ages,he says. i was trying to prove something to people, trying to do something to please other people and also myself at the same time, which is never going to work. to be honest with you, ive been floating around since chris blackwell and island. my last two albums, i thought they were good, but i realise now they werent. this album is about me finding myself again.

syclops is trio sven kortehisto, hanna sarkari and jukka kantonen. first to appear on a bubble tease 12inch in 2001, followed by two singles for tirk and finally with the debut album >ive got my eye on you< on dfa in 2008. >a blink of an eye< is the long awaited successor with 10 tracks of future funk. ranging from the nastiness of >jump bugs< to the fragile beauty >ray & claire< its classic syclops all the way.produced by maurice fulton.

>the mark of a great dj is one who knows that hip-hop came from disco. that is the truth of the matter...<

leicht und luftig, filmisch und doch intim kommt das vierte arctic monkeys-album >suck it and see< daher. aufgenommen hat es die band in den sound city studios in los angeles mit ihrem langjŠhrigen produzenten und mitstreiter james ford. das album verbreitet ein sommerliches pop-feeling und den typischen feelgood-sound kalifornischer wintersonne und vitamin d au§erhalb der saison, was daran liegen mag, dass der grš§te teil der stźcke im januar an der westkźste der usa aufgenommen wurde. passend zu seiner pop-ausrichtung ist >suck it and see< sorgfŠltiger arrangiert als sein vorgŠnger >humbug< und steckt voller songs, die die irrungen und wirrungen von sex und liebe mit elementarer bildersprache, scharfsinnigen texten und gro§artigen pop-kultur-metaphern ausloten. das album steckt voller bezźge zu Šlteren rock n roll-klassikern (you look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel), diversen softdrinks (dandelion & burdock, postmix-limonade) und freizeitbeschŠftigungen des 21. jahrhunderts (laserquest

in february 2010, gil scott-heron released >i m new here<, his first album in thirteen years. produced by xl recordings head richard russell during various studio sessions in new york, the album was enthusiastically received by fans andcritics alike. meanwhile, the last eighteen months have been meteoric for jamie xx. his band the xxs debut album (which jamie produced) received huge acclaim, picking up 2010s prestigious mercury music prize, while jamie garnered respectfor his remixes (in particular florence & the machines >you ve got the love<) and solo productions (forthcoming single >far nearer< on numbers).
so what happens when one of the most exciting young producers around reworks one of the most acclaimed albums from a true legend? the result is gil scott-heron and jamie xxs >we re new here< which sees jamie xx remixing thirteen tracks from the original >i m new here< album sessions.

dj egon von stones throw ist ein fan, und fźr shan ryder von den happy mondays ist andy votel aus manchester >the most original dj ive heard since 1975<. der macher des labels finders keepers hat als produzent mit kźnstlern wie badly drawn boy oder kźrzlich gruff rhys gearbeitet. auf dieser mix-cd gibts nun weniger fuzz, dafźr mehr fizz - 68 stźcke obskuren, europaeischen library-elektro-pops in 72 minuten!
