goodlife, gigolo, hot banana or turbo are just four of the countless labels, where kiko has released some of his most eclectic productions. now it’s time for him to rock huntemann’s confused label. his sound is always trenched with electro, ebm and intergalactic disco elements - a certain ratio of retro. faces of life is no exception from this rule. saw-tooth basses a raw drumming and spaced out melodies pave the way for this rave club weapon from the outer rim of uranus. galaxia is another example for his approach towards electronic dance music – comparable to the dutch legend legowelt he simply knows about the analogue sound world. this is a big rock band shrivelled into a moog space ship

incl. rob acid aka robert babicz mix, after it has been a long time since a record was released on our favourite label fq inside, is it more than time to bring one out…here and now we come with a really fine acid track. it was produced by gabriel fiebelkorn from cologne. thats probably the reason why it was named >burn cologne<…but cologne isn t burning, but for sure the track is – it pumps and pumps and pumps, that it is a really great pleasure to listen to it. it is a very great acid track without being oldschool. the rob acid remix comes along with his typical hypnotic style and flies with you around cologne. close your eyes and enjoy! fantastic!

nice and chunky, keep up doing what you do so wellintroducing deadset: an act that crafts house music in some of its many disguises. the two man team used to do a lot of that, and a little bit of this. before deadset1 and deadset2 came into being, they played in the sandpit with the likes of muse, miss kittin, royksopp, tiefschwarz, justin timberlake, scissor sisters and with labels such as fine, blue fin, souvenir, made to play, wall of sound and tsuba. now they do a lot of this and only a little bit of that. disregarding this, that and the other, their tipping point has arrived… they have also been allowed to play around at the likes of weekend (berlin), panoramabar (berlin), fabric (london), the end (london) and countless other joints. lovingly nurtured, their forthcoming album, keys open doors, is about to be released into the wild from the arms of jesse rose and his front room label. music for now, with an eye on tomorrow, made with sounds of then. deadset 1 is tom mangan. deadset 2 is cass. cass + mangan is dead. long live deadset
