fist of facts began life in a basement studio on ludlow street, downtown manhattan, in the mid-80s. the bastard child of liquid liquids salvatore prinicipato & ken man caldeira (part of the liquid liquid extended family and original liquid idiot member) the band lasted nearly a decade during which they created a uniquely downtown new york sound. these tracks sat in storage on cassette tape for 25 years are a part of music history. none of them have ever been heard by the public and it will be released as a hand numbered, 4 colour sleeve limited to 500 12 inches.

on their introductory minus ep, click box offers a refreshing return to a bygone era of classic instrumentals, full of experimentation and passion generated by that ongoing love affair between man and machine. berlin shades starts out in a jittery minimal fashion but soon dives much deeper as the tough electro bassline expands and contracts dragging the dancer to and fro. the cascading hook and in-your-face sci-fi synth motif add a sense of tongue-in-cheek drama to a dynamic arrangement that incorporates steep inclines, sharp drops and snaking pathways. as the short staccato bass riff gains momentum and the hook comes round for the second time you just know somethings lying in wait and the boys certainly dont disappoint. lost road is anything but a blind alley, kicking off with some low-slung interplay between a two-note bassline and a whiplash snare that dishes out a serious spanking. hi-hats fizz across the audio spectrum, cleverly pitching up and down before a drunken bass sequence ushers in the main section with its sliding, twisted synth distortions primed for surprise and immediate disorientation. once all the elements are in play, the fun really starts with so many objects of interest competing for attention. the arrangement is pulled and pushed to great effect extracting maximum effect from this tough little unit. more electro flavour to the fore as the loose, broken beat intro and robot sounds of some toys make for some slick moves on the dancefloor. the retro synth riffs and dark spiralling pads conjure up images of some early 80s lab full of computer kids in white coats twiddling knobs on huge mainframe monoliths. the bouncing bass and analogue belches make this a must for all retro-tastic electro-boogie fans. the theme continues over into voxer as rising filtered bass tones playout over another trademark click box drum pattern, this time doused in heavy reverb and delay. an array of analogue bleeps, screams and laser beams keep the motor ticking over.

second installment by berlin based mri who successfully cultivated since 2002 some serious dance terrains. this release carries two outstanding and rare remixes as well as one original track. by taking techno deep into the mine shafts of dub, chain reactions / basic channel artist fluxion created an eerie, full-circle remix of the latter. you can hear that a man is at work who knows his gear well and is good in what he is doing. the production is brilliant, the selection of sounds superb, set-ups are constructed with caution, superimpositions are finely layered, propagations and ripenings are get going in a well-considered manner. dreadnaught bassline, steady hi-hats and lo-fi clips – a must for basic channel fans ! on the flip, young talented producer u.e.s. delivers the meanest blend of modern techno style and reduced shaped subs that just creams it on every system. and as well as both guys together does mri with original track rough. the „el castillo“ ep separates the styles over two sides and with „rough“ functioning as a wicked minimal techno track with shifted groove hinging on a grinding bassline - drives the track into abyssal techno territory. fans of basic channel and modern electronic music enthusiasts will be all over this beauty.

d. diggler alias andreas mügge gehört zur guten alten frankfurter schule. er hat übrigens das erste release auf raum...musik veröffentlicht und unzählige folgten. releases auf cocoon recordings, resopal und force inc. folgten.
bei negotiator und behind the curtain entwickeln sich der funk der tracks durch die dub ähnlichen einflüsse und entführt einen in eine housewelt, in der man die dichte in fast minimalen strukturen entdeckt, die aber doch nichts mit minimal zu tun haben. sehr eigenwillig und auf unscheinbare weise spannend.

oliver dahl returns with another premium ep on noir music. his outstanding productions have been getting serious attention ever since his very first rien on noir music.
on this new 3ep we got the typical techno rolling oliver dahl track mira , the noisy and driving havardt and the melodic sako to show all the colours of the oliver dahl techno world.
we believe this man is up there with the best and if you hear a little dubfire and gui boratto in these productions, well - you might not be wrong.
the elite will be rocking the 3ep all summer - what about you ?

listeners who are familiar with the ex-bizarre inc and chicken lips man s previous material will know exactly what to expect from andy meecham s latest record. the staffordshire-based producer wears his penchant for vintage analogue synthesizers firmly on his sleeve, creating a melange of hard-hitting disco beats and throbbing cosmic melodies. entitled space beyond the egg, the album sees meecham exploring a few new territories, with the swinging kananana even featuring a catchy vocal hook, marking it out from his previously instrumental solo material. prepare yourself for plenty of strutting and shuffling percussion as well as mindbending synth workouts that should send you firmly into space when the record drops in june.

excellent techhouse inspired tracks , contains remixes by jay haze , chaim & visionquest aka ryan crosson, lee curtiss, and man-of-the-moment seth troxler!!

duff mckagan. a man with a big reputation through his involvement with major bands. guns n roses and velvet revolver...you know the drill. but this isnt about mega headlines, superstar status and volcanic ego mania. loaded isnt a band merely to fill in time, to allow the famed bassist to massage a hyper publicity drive. this is all about music!

waren die letzten platten von tele fragen oder aussagen, so ist das vierte album der in berlin lebenden band aus freiburg ein tier - und zwar jedes. eines, das haken schl?gt zwischen club, lagerfeuer und ballsaal. eines, das nicht schafft und nicht stempelt. eines, das liebt ohne zu frieren. zw¬lf lieder finden sich auf jedes tier , einem album, mit dem die band um texter francesco wilking nach zwei major-platten wieder zu tapete records zur?ckkehrt. es sind lieder f?r in und nach der krise: die nacht ist jung, genau wie wir, du bist so sch¬n, ich nenn stra?en nach dir. und die musik? da sind die tiefen beziehungsgespr?che der gitarren, deren kinder, s?sse orgelmelodien, auf bass und schlagzeug liegen wie auf einem sofa und sich zur?cklehnen - so weit, bis fast die lehne bricht. man h¬rt: die band hat gearbeitet wie ein tier, hat geprobt und gespielt, anderthalb jahre lang. 2008 waren tele mit wir sind helden auf tour, f?r jedes tier traf sie sich zusammen mit neuen und alten guten leuten wie u. a. patrick majer (wir sind helden) und moses schneider (beatsteaks, tocotronic).

from out of a clear blue sky comes ?my electric family?, the second full-length and third all-round release from new zealand?s bachelorette. bachelorette?s music beams to us through a universe of unconquered pop music, where long beams of sunlight extend to infinity, and blue moons rise wistfully in the deep purple expanse. she stands in the cradle of modern songwriting, that of psychedelic pop music. the sense of infinite possibility felt in those songs, the desire to manipulate a collective sensation to become anything at all, informs bachelorette?s journey. bachelorette?s song structures are traditionally examinations of love and longing, the exploration of self versus self and in relation to the surrounding, silent universe. the songs of ?my electric family? emphasize a particular fascination: the meeting of man and machine. ?my electric family? is an arresting development in the world of sweet pop music.

he s the man of the moment. james nidecker, rising star of the dutch technoscene, is always sure to raise an eyebrow or two. not only his djsets, where the amsterdam based artist is often getting the crowds wild with his dark gothpunklike outfits, but also his recent productions can be called mindblowing. nidecker perfectly knows how to combine his dark vocals with uplifting beats, combining influences from electro and minimal techno. s.t.a.l.k.e.r is the culmination of his talents, a hit record already wandering around the dutch clubscene for a while, now finally released on alexander koning s upstruct imprint.
the aside of this release provides a more than outstanding remix from dave ellesmere. renowned for his collaboration with producer 2000 and one under their name microfunk, but nowadays also reaching international fame under his own guise, ellesmere turns s.t.a.l.k.e.r into an ideal dj tool. with a length close to nine minutes, his mix slowly takes the funk of nidecker s rhythms to an upwinding, more techhouse based floorburner.
the other side of this ep is more about the clubs, with dutch dj producer georgio schultz and alexander koning together transforming s.t.a.l.k.e.r into a housetrack like there s no other. here, the unique vocals of nidecker are combined with more melodic, sometimes crazy sounds, always keeping the original flow of the track alive, but taking the best parts of this clubhit to a next level.

plays by:shlomi aber, alexander koning, karotte, shinedoe, namito, dubfire, raresh, ellen allien, bart skils, gel abril, laurent garnier, anderson noise, nuno dos santos etc

the groundbreaking black album!! produced by bob rock!! includes enter sandman, the unforgiven and nothing else matters!!
