2010 has seen some juicy, off-the-wall techno/electronic vinyl goodies from the head space of little nobody, including the acclaimed >metropolis how?< and >robota< records - with remixes by the likes of james ruskin, justin berkovi, inigo kennedy, dj hi-shock, si begg, patrick pulsinger and steve stoll. but its the originator of the tracks who continues to push the perimeters, recently leading hi-shock, the prolific innovator behind the essential elektrax empire, to suggest that honestly, i think you are at least a couple of years ahead in your musical vision compared to other producers. little nobodys alter ego andrez bergen has also had his head buried this year in the creation of a hardboiled/noir/sci-fi novel called >tobacco-stained mountain goat<, and it was in the midst of this project - with these heady influences - that the get away from it all 12-inch project came to light. thus we got on board bas mooy (planet rhythm/audio assault) and dave tarrida (tresor/musick) to do the two scintillating re-takes here, which are downright brilliant. meanwhile little nobodys troll, on the flip-side, lives up to its claim: its hardboiled and devastatingly dirty electronica. all up, think streetwise, smack-your-glitch-up techno - dark, uber-bassy, dirty and pulsating - just the way we like it, with sardonic samples and a freestyle, postmodern attitude thats invigorating. matched up with the cool artwork by marcin markowski, this is an essential slab of wax for 4:00 am head-caving techno!

franklin de costa is someone we have been following since his first releases on trapez ltd. we still believe >kronn< on curle014, franklins debut for curle, is one of the strongest tracks we have released so far on the label. this >fragile ep< gives again a great taste of franklins qualities as a producer. whereas the title track is definitely the one on here with the biggest peaktime dancefloor potential, the three other tracks show franklins firm talent and diversity in crafting organic deep house tracks that step out of the ordinary. truly a special ep.

do you know this uncontrollable hunger to penetrate the grooves with a record needle? well, good news for all vinyl junkies. german based geoff bell shows his unique talent on >the freddy eiser show< ep while he starts off our brandnew series of 12 inch records! his music is excellent dodgy crisp & very authoritative. on the other hand he is combining euphoric, funkiness that is crying out for sunshine-barbeque with tofu burgers.

hailing from lexington, kentucky, matt mason and rick nielsen, better known as the corduroy mavericks, are quickly smashing the stereotype that the midwest is lacking in prolific house music producers. with their quirky range of jazzy, soulful, techy, deep and funky house, new york, chicago, the west coast and other dance meccas have been put on notice via the sonic enthusiasm of a pair of corduroy-loving trailblazers from the bluegrass state.

deep teknologis t. williams is back with his biggest and best track to date.

the fourth release of >lets get lost< which is started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this new release is by thomas bullock aka rub n tug/map of africa/welcome stranger. i guess the introduction about him is not necessary. on the a side, thomas edited the disco version of jolene by olivia newtone-john (original is country rock from dolly parton 1974). on the other side,its a rework of >zz top-i wanna drive you home < . this rework is like a thomass original production.you can comparevery easily with map of africa or his another moniker. both tracks are very cool rock oriented disco stuff. dont miss this rare thomas s edit release

dan ghenacia steps up with a stunning double solo offering with globe/ gentelized, a rare production offering from the parisian star, this time lending his brand of freakiness to cdr (crosstown digital rebels).globe takes you on a 3am dance floor journey, its steady, driving beats riding the swelling ambience of abstract melodic effects. psychedelic elements cry in unison, unravelling a blanket of swirling synths in descent and crescendo. gentilized finds its heart in heavy rolling bass and soothing sumptuous female cries. inspired by dans kwality years at batofar, this production oozes aquatic sonics and fluid chords, with deep and dreamy layers of percussion pouring over each other. forging an effortless groove in the bass and hypnotic sweeps of melody, this track is dan at his playful best. one of the undisputed pioneers of the parisian house and techno scene, dan ghenacias influence is undeniable. through his productions, revered freak n chic label now in its seventh year, notorious parties at batofar in paris and legendary residencies around europe including dc10 and space in ibiza, he has remained at the forefront of the scene for over a decade.

its been a while for mr lovebirds and also the label teardrop to serve some fresh slices of homemade house jam. well, we think it better not to put out every bonus beat we program and rather wait until we have something that really deserves to be thrown in todays pool of musical randomness. do we sound bitter again? sorry, for that … must be the age. so … love & happiness. yeah, i want that and probably everybody does … well here ya go: its a slick slow house bomb with proper oldskool 909 drums and some sliding portamento chords that wont never leave your head!! at least until the breakdown when this track takes you even further back in time to that beautiful intro that has rarely been used more beautifully. its been tested for months now by vincenzo, phonique and mr bird himself and devestated every floor so far. let me put it this way - this is biiiig!!!! flipside is the rain - classic 90ies deephouse with a touch of kerri which we all love right? this has the typical lovebirds warmth that we all need in these modern techno times. and in this autumn too. none other than mr steve bug took care of the remix and delivered a superb very 90ies new yorican style version. keeping the warmth he added some percussion to it and turned this into a nice builder. enough talk … we are very excited about this release and looking forward to your full love on this one. play it loud and everywhere!! and maybe even chart it if youre a good lad!!

the green door studio opened its (confusingly black) doors to glasgows vibrant music community at the end of 2007. set up by three glasgow-based musicians emily maclaren (michael dracula/the lady vanishes), sam smith (mother & the addicts) and jamie greer (park attack), who, sick of using other peoples clinical digital studios and being told by engineers >you cant do that..<, decided to create a musician-friendly space where >actually you can...<.

denmarks most forward thinking export trentemøller announces a new single on his own -in my room- label, twisting 60s psychedelia into a modern electronic-punk beatdown, complete with remixes from none other than andrew weatherall, lulu rouge and trentemøller himself. packed with overdriven synth and guitar textures, live/processed drums and a pacy, apocalyptic vibe, the original version of the remarkable -silver surfer, ghost rider go!!!- taken from the new album ,-into the great wide yonder- is perhaps anders trentemøllers ode to some of the many other spectrums of electronic music and noise that he loves

throughout a recording career spanning almost two decades, dj stingray aka. sherard ingram a.k.a. urban tribe has consistently avoided the mainstream to create a musical world of his own. responsible for the early techno classic >covert action< on retroactive (reissued on planet e), ingram was joined by carl craig, anthony shakir and kenny dixon jr. (moodymann) for urban tribe s debut album >the collapse of modern culture< on mo wax and their latest project >program 1-12< released on kenny dixon jrs label mahogani music and the recent >loyal opposition< releases on planet e. touring as drexciya s official assault dj, stingray collaborated with james stinson for the >other people place ft. mystic tribe a.i.< project on clone in 2002. his two recent albums (>authorized clinical trials< and >acceptable side effects<) and singles for rephlex have remained true to their drexciyan descent, not through imitation but through remorseless innovation in electro aesthetics.

two more missives from the leng stable, a stable basking in late afternoon sunshine the whole year round. here we have two remixes of cantoma tracks. on side a is ray mangs remix of under the stars a subtle disco groove, with a sweet rolling bass and a languid horn line that gently eases into the back of your mind, luring you into a hypnotic swirl. over on side-b lexx steps up to deliver an equally stunning take on gambara immdediately setting out a more electronic lilt, the track steadily builds into a mid tempo throb as the vocals wash over proceedings, while flute and acoustic guitar make way for each other in the melody stakes. timeless sounds on both sides evoking the summer just passed

following up on the bo tweak project with art bleek in 2009, plus other releases, trevor & chris are back with a vengeance in 2010 with the b4u know it e.p.

donovans are back with >freakshow / krosscut<, >freakshow< is some kind of a cathedralistic anthem, with which they often start their dj set as this particular track can face any big tune, combining quite slow syncopated bassdrums, a killer melody, getting in your brain... >krosscut< is more a classic track from donovans, done on purpose for the dancefloor, ultra efficient, a bit fidget, naughty, the kind of nu techno we like here in citizen records ! fukkk offf & chaos in the cbd (duo from nu-zealand) are in the story too! fukkk offf gives some of his technoid skillness on >krosscut< a bit >à la fukkk offf<, then chaos in the cbd proposes us an old school house remix, using the current production tools, this will give all the music lovers a remembrance from the old days (this remix is already played by teki latex & many other frenchy!) >the french duo comes back with a bump-house bomb, hysterical breaks, extatic horn & powered bass, you got all< tsugi

the smptm label keeps on running and this time takes on a lighter approach. still on point as always and ever future thinking. dose takes on the a side with his stripped down roller >control me< this subtle piece of funk is one for the oldskool massive. crispy breaks and snappy high hats make this the ideal record to get the people in the mood for the early hours. fans of shogun audio should definitely peep this! the b side is a rework of bulletproof, teknik & doses >thaw< cern gets added to this already exciting group of people and that means its time for a sidechain rework. thaw gets injected with highly addictive viral sounds that will infect your eardrums like no other. big rolling stabbing beats are the core with almost >bacteria-esque< sound. spmtm shows that theyre still alive and kicking with this slamming 12inch a serious purchase for the serious people!

triple visions flagship label planet rhythm is going on strong with another blasting techno release. a.paul is next in line releasing for the planet under his other famous alter ego: loudon kleer which he uses for his releases on labels like parallel 125 records, synewave and dirty ego records to name just a few. while his a.paul releases are strictly banging releases for the dancefloor, loudon kleer takes us into the darkside of his mind. although he takes you straight into the dungeons of techno, in de dungeons they also like to dance. the crazy funky edits and shuffles into the beats make sure the feet will move according the rhythm. yes planet rhythm is fully ruling the scene like we used to and get ready for more strictly techno soon!

maarten van der vleuten iss an old school dutch techno producer known for releases on r&s, tz, djax, signum etc. nice to see him back on vinyl with >lost control<, which is an electro version of joy divisions >she s lost control<. and some other cool tracks he did in the last year. cool electronix with some techno influences... somehow even reminds of some aphex twin worx. limited to 300 handnumbered copies with a cover that is silkscreen printed, colour print on the inside and free download code.... nice package!

solabs music is inspired by the detroit legacy, both in a musical and theoretical approach. the duos tracks have an otherworldliness to them, providing a glimpse at other places, imagined or real. indeed, on celestial tales, the feeling pervades that while the intricately woven melodies and complex beats are beautiful in their own right, they are really just providing pointers to a hitherto unexplored place. the beautifully evocative sounds of this ep work purely on a musical level. solab combine techno & house in a brilliant way making this a sure-shot follow up to their previous lifeworld twelve distant galaxy!

leonel castillo is undoubtedly argentinas most gifted producer. while his releases remain extremely rare, his daily creations keep adding and adding onto the thousands of tracks he produced over the past 20 years. on this very special artist ep - leonel castillo, the great engineer, sets some intricate and complex rhythmics in motion, forging el salon de los espejos into a highly feverish hotbox of a record. get this right: no other man can develop such elaborate and throbbing patterns as he does. from his lucious grooves featured on sushitech, to the stripped aesthetics as heard on illian tape or even the dubby techno textures from his record last year on greener - needless to say, leonel covers a wide and complete musical range.

austere can mean >lacking trivial decoration< and >not extravagant< which is exactly what the ethos behind this esoteric new label is about - raw, real and underground. the first ep from laak (pronounced >lock<) is true to the roots of house music. warm pads, discreet analog melodies and vintage drum patterns. along the way giving a huge nod to chicago, detroit and the forefathers of the genre. already receiving support from jus ed on his underground quality radio show and quite a few other players, dont sleep!

nice price deal !!! the final 12 inch vinyl taken from the turn the page album. whilst other tunes have hinted at it, >metroplex< fully embraces their inherent love of techno with huge half-time 808s and synths that would make juan atkins chomp at the bit. one for those who know and a lovely surprise for those who are yet to know. on the flip >future shock< sticking with the vintage outboard gear sounds the guys then up it once more for one final drum & bass rollout that has killer written all over it. turn it up, close your eyes and get marching!
