the 25 year-old montreal native became a dmc world champion in 1997 and has toured with the likes of q-bert and craze until he was hand-picked by kanye west to be his tour dj. a-trak might have been on the scene for 10 years already but somehow it feels like he s only just getting started. kitsune releases now his >say whoa< which features remixes from his friends boys noize and sinden

go hiyama has risen quickly to a position of international respect that few japanese techno producers can match. from his debut release on james ruskins coda label to his recent surgeon remixed single geometrical he has attracted continuous support from oscar mulero, james ruskin, surgeon, gayle san and many other djs at the cutting edge of techno. his sound is powerful but with an intricacy and ear to detail that shames most of the loop techno from a few years ago. for his first perc trax release he delivers 2 slices of powerful, detailed modern techno that follow on perfectly from geometrical. for the b-side remix perc trax is proud to have a deep dub techno mix from norman nodge. norman is resident at berlins infamous berghain club and the only producer apart from marcel dettmann to record for marcels own mdr imprint. norman has also just released the well-received track native rhythm electric on ostgut ton, which also featured on dettmanns recent berghain 02 mix album. as a dj, norman moved to his berghain residency after organising parties in easy germany, now as his production career flourishes he is starting to make his mark on the international circuit. this is normans first release on a non-german label and is a real coup for perc trax

support from efdemin, loco dice, sebo k, shinedoe, dave dk, agnes, d julz, serafin, ame, ben watt, ray okpara, sasse, luke solomon, peace division & ashley beedle, among others... anonym is the one who is anonymous. his music, however, is anything but anonymous. hailing from the mecca otherwise known as detroit and with releases on his very own anonymous releases and on sushitech, anonym embraces in his music the ways of future past of the motor citys unique techno scene. anonyms new release arrives exactly when detroit techno is again paving the way to the future by transforming the now: post minimal strategies and a desire to find its own place in the tradition, make the music signed by anonym a strong creative statement, something that could only be cooked by a detroit native, but that resonates all over the world. for remix duties, we asked our good friend patrice baumel to take it amsterdam style. detroit techno has a strong hold on amsterdams music makers but the natives of the city of the best coffee shops in the world have also always shed a different light on their own productions. patrice is a perfect example of this: his originality and fierce work ethic has gained him a place in get physical and trapez. we were hoping for something special from patrice and he definitely delivered, taking shanghai express in a completely new direction, making it something else, but also his personal tribute to the city of cosmic cars and vital underground resistance

without a doubt, chicago native huge hephner has garnered quite the reputation as an international playboy - pimpin and whorin his way into the electronic music worlds stream of consciousness. however, behind the tough guy persona is a highly underrated producer with an unbridled passion for music and love of the analog gear he uses to produce such increasingly in-demand sounds. it is this perversion that lends meaning to the title of his debut album, nymphotech, released on none other than the label that helped launch his career, siteholder records. unflinching in its house vibe, yet relentless in its dance floor attack, nymphotech is a highly impressive debut album by a producer who continues to up his game with each successive release. hephner kicks off part one of a two-part vinyl album sampler with the chugging acid burner sharing the same title as the album. nothing less than 4 a.m. packed club material, to play nympotech at any other time would be a failure to recognize this bombs full potential. jack n coke is undoubtedly huges nod to his hometowns house legacy, showcasing a flirtatious bass line that screams funk in all caps. wheres the acid? fans of hephner might ask. leave that up to freaky $ean da don, featuring the vocal debut of huges body guard and reputed hitman who bears the same name as the tracks title. if nymphotech is any indication of whats to come from mr. hephner, we can only hope huge will manage to stay out of jail long enough to produce a follow-up

played by karotte, l.garnier, steve bug, sebo k, mike shannon, layo, d julz !!! we are pretty sure that maetrik sent us his latest ep from a grow room orbiting the earth. his space chronic ep combines the innovation of techno with a sense of fun missing from your average four on the floor banger. its a little shocking, but the results have been exactly what wed expect from the dallas native - mass freaking on the dancefloor. the albums lead single, sex with bass, explores the type of low frequencies that usually occur when suspension bridges tear apart. all the while a subsonic voice repeats its desire to have sex… with bass! stab jockey throws a techno curveball at the start, utilizing rhythmic synths over a simple beat. dont trust it! midway through, the line clears out for full-frequency busting bass drops. on the flip, crawl machine immediately builds a head-nodding groove that wastes no time firing off its boosters – half the track is a sneaky buildup. by the time the kick slams back in, youre already back in orbit. cuban born maetriks techno pedigree is bulletproof.

together for one cause: spreading love of house music in yours ears. the patsada soldiers take by storm the floor by salvo of love and irresistible groove. no surrenders! face a1 monoman - motion: chunky beats lasciviously carried by an obsessing melody. face a2 dav - monterey jack: this montréal native smash monterey with his jacking sax. face b soul circus - you re my friend: these belgian guys knows the formula: vocal + beats + emotion = dancefloor killer

support comes from hosh, karotte, dave dk, tom clark, jamie jones, sasse and many more.. it’s been a while since james flavour released his last full artist single ! after numerous releases for labels like highgrade, brique rouge and other remix dutys on his own labels plus the work on dirt crew’s last album the bavarian native, residing in berlin for 14 years now, really took his time to bring you these three full on club tracks. taking a different approach to his sound we know from his last two singles on dirt crew recordings, the idea was to create a more reduced minimal groove with dubby influences as they can only be delivered from berlin city.

sao paulo native rodolfo wehbba has been making a lot of noise in the past year with his skillfully crafted+ energetic floorfillers released by red-hot labels such as great stuff+ jesus loved you. with his debut on missile he ups the ante even more to deliver possibly his finest moment on wax to date

for the third time adam proll has released a 12 for cocoon recordings. and just like in the two predecessors, >hummel< and >adamantido<, the native pole is at the pulse of time and, with >flight 407<, creates a beautiful and dreamy summer tech house track, which seems to be made for the forthcoming open air season. warm, soft beats are as skillfully and elegantly used as trippy half time snares and thus make the a side sparkle of life. in contrast to this, >abbadon< is more something for the neverending after hours of this summer. the warm and deep detroit sound reminds of sunsets at the beach and is bringing back this special feeling to the dance floor - may it be in frankfurt, berlin or everywhere else.

normans >native rhythm electric< auf der a-seite kommt mit fein moduliertem oldschool-geklöppel der soviel dreck unterm fingernagel hat wie kaum eine andere platte zur zeit. >vangel< auf der b-seite ist 100% techno, ein sturm & drang track, der mit seinen charakteristischen glocken die rave-apokalypse einläutet

earlier support comes from ewan pearson, funk d void, satoshi tomi, tiger stripes, troy pierce, laurent garnier, danny howells and many more.. the tenth release from aus music is a tasty little bomb from sian to kick off the new year. graham goodwin aka sian is a dublin native raised gypsy style in southern spain. he released two albums and many singles on labels as diverse as pokerflat, dessous, karmarouge, dirtcrew and einmaleins. wear your scars like medals - has a very different vibe to sians first outing on aus, his lush, melodic >apple tree<. >wear your scars< is an all together darker, more brooding affair. with no bass line to speak of and sirens and toms carrying the majority of the melody this can be classed as a truly tribal excursion. roland appel remix - taking the pitch of sians sirens as the melodic starting point roland builds a hypnotic deep techno track that is reminiscent of early planet e releases.

dj onionz needing no introduction to house heads, this prolific dj and producer began his career in the early 80s, playing parties in his native queens, nyc before taking his music across the globe. >play dat song< is an electronic jackin house monster with a bass hook that grooves throughout the track. it s latin tribal drums and electronic stabs cause mayhem on the floor and a cool vocal sample raises its head. >pokin u< has the same quality production and bass driven groove with great breakdowns and more of a techy vibe that would rock sets from carter to pete tong, whilst keeping the trademark onionz latin influences... limited backstock
