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

big one! spins from mandy, sebo k, dyed soundorom, glimpse, rob mello, jennifer cardini, adam beyer, anja schneider, h.o.s.h, ripperton, konrad black, martin landsky, afrilounge, dorian paic, matt tolfrey, kiki, mathias tanzmann, jimpster, nick curly, david k, eric borgo, okain,… ‘junkyard funk’ was one of the seminal house albums to come out of the uk in 2000. masters of the deep groove clive henry, also resident at dc10, and justin drake are one of the most respected duo’s in house music with over 10 years experience in the business. whilst many contemporaries have fallen by the wayside peace division have remained at the forefront of underground house. following 2007’s seminal ‘soft heavy’ ep for crosstown rebels, 2008 has seen them release a second coast 2 coast compilation for nrk and the critically acclaimed ‘the lab’ ep on tsuba. part 1 of ‘junkyard funk reconstructions’ sees jamie jones and rozzo update the classics. jamie jones has always been heavily inspired and influenced by peace division so when the opportunity arose to remix the seminal ‘bu4t’ he was more than a little excited. the result is his biggest remix to date.

hailing from p diddys bad boy stable, carl thomas is getting favourable comparisons with ne-yo and the raw boys re visit the theme of their tenth release with this latest overhaul. the masters of r&b house, no one does it better and this smooth groover highlights their killer production, which comes with full vocal or stripped down dubstramental- another raw productions masterpiece to add to the collection.

short after the latest (develish) dapayk single mos ferry fields the dutch guy henk van zwol aka olene kadar again. his label debut >vakbekwaam< (mfp035) is still fresh and we do remember him playing his liveset on some of the spring-time mos ferry labelnights where he was soaked in sweat during his performance. all this established a solid relation between amsterdam and berlin, which is about to be expanded. the new release >paying billl< presents two new olene kadar masters. on the a-side theres >sarg wualb< taking the subject of >i-modulate-that-siren-until-everybody-gets-up-from-his-seat< to the next level. on the flip side called >betrokken< the young man proves that a track with extensive usage of edgy >frickelsound< elements doesnt have to end in a top-heavy electronica-piece, but can be directed to the floor, very straight forward and impulsive techno. these two tracks show once more what henk van zwol demands from his body and his consciousnes when playing live

moving away from the multi artist approach of the previous 7 releases, ir-008 sees jason brunton take a more direct approach to the dancefloor with this straight up techno workout. stabbing chords run amok over a xxl moroder-esque bassline-hints of basic channel, carl craig and the shuffling rhythms all combining to create something both fresh and familiar at the same time. since his initial outings on headpace and iridite many years ago, marco bernardis career has went from strength to strength with a string of releases on glasgows soma records and a fruitfull relationship with the dutch masters clone- here he takes mixed metaphors in a new direction- crazed synthetic vocals combine with ice cold strings and electro beats worthy of any aux 88 or kraftwerk release! rei loci turns in a superb reworking, moving into deeper realms and coming off like early robert hood crashing into maurzios back yard!

aka matti heininen and erkka lempiäinen. over the last 12 months these two finns have established themselves as the masters of 80s inspired melodic house music, first with shadows movement, one of the highlights of sos excellent balance compilation, and more recently with their remix of paul keeleys a sort of homecoming, which picked up bbc radio one airplay on james zabielas glastonbury essential mix
