produced by elektro guzzi and patrick pulsinger recorded directly to analog tape. no edits. no overdubs.
elektro guzzi redefined the meaning of performing techno live. with just guitar, bass and drums, they take the most unusual playing techniques and put them together into a rigid mechanical form where everything makes instant, evident sense. if they had not performed live extensively, becoming audience favourites from mutek to sónar and from berghain to fabric, it would have been hard to believe this is really how the music is created. that said, it seemed impossible they could go even further in this direction. yet thats exactly what they did. parquet, their second studio album sees them in monomaniacal, claustrophobic techno mode. throughout the nine tracks the distinctions between instruments and roles are totally vaporized.

already played by sven väth, seth troxler. joris voorn, tiefschwarz, reboot... the london resident ross evana already excelled as dj at pacha nyc, at ministry of sound london or in the we love space series in ibiza. his track >thrilla in manila< first takes its time to build up before it sets a tremendously powerful exclamation mark on the dancefloor with its tropical-hypnotic percussions. with its second track, the ninth edition of cocoons 10 inch -series leads us to the land of the midnight sun. the two stockholm-born cousins alex caytas and aleks patz have started their musical collaboration only in 2007 but can already look back on a hand full of very good produced releases for the stuttgart-based label parquet recordings and the italian label caremella, as well as on remixes for martin dawson/king roc and voltique. >blue sea< shows the duos affinity to the energetic deep house techno of the nineties: with its organ sound, blues vocals and a highly infectous bass line, this track could almost pass as a modern and uncluttered version of st. germain, being predestined for warm summer nights. this is how techno sounds in 2011.

new electro-tech-house label founded by norm (king kong records). parquet recordings starts with an electro-tech-house peaktime track from the label-leader himself with his new project solee. next to the original mix there are 2 stunning minimal-techno mixes... the first remix comes from yassin & arne, one of the hottest newcomers in the minimal techno, scene at the moment. they already released on 3rd floor records next to trentemøller and duplex 100. 2nd rmx by schatz & wickinger (releases on elektro komfort & traum schallplatten), who work closer to the original but adding some new flavour. great start for this new high-quality label. don t miss it! full dj support by: satoshi tomiie, martin landsky (pokerflat rec.), joachim garraud, dms (great stuff rec.), joe t. vanelli, mijk van dijk, flash brothers, monoroom and others…

full 3 years have passed since indy toureau released his last ep on solees imprint parquet recordings and after remixes for beroshima, xenia beliayeva or johannes heil hes finally back home on blackfoxmusic. melanchromantic is a kind of >retro-new-wave-techno< : melancholic and romantic at the same time! with an 80s-infected electrotech-style, the perfetctly setted movie-samples and his emotional melodies the track pushes himself on every technofloor to blow the speakers out and destroy it!

if the parquet album saw them delivering a unified vision of dancefloor purity to massive acclaim, cashmere now takes elektro guzzis signature man-machine sound up a notch!

debut single from james teej (rekids / my favorite robot) in collaboration with aaron santos on parquet recordings. atmospheric & melodic 10 minutes anthem! including a brilliant nhar remix!

after the release of the second single by solee, here comes the next top tune out of the parquet recordings camp. it s dejonka, who already released on labels like klang gymnastik, hammarskjoeld, karate musik and bikini tracks with –memento-. this track is a pure high-energy dancefloor burner. the kicking beat, the funky bassline and the dirty electro sounds create a groove that nobody can resist on the floor. a true sure-shot for the peaktime! ryan davis & lanny may use the strongest elements of the original adding some minimal beats and sounds to create a new underground flavour. yassin & arne create a true minimal-techno masterpiece creating a nice bubbling synthie melody out of the original harmonies. again a great package with remixes for every flavour and occasion!

supported & played by: ame, acid pauli, lou cooper, bara bröst, riva starr, secret cinema, tom fndley, piemont, edu imbernon, daniel mehlhart, marc poppcke. blackfoxmusic is celebrating its 10th birthday with its 25th release. our new compilation „kapitel 5“ comes in a rebellious outfit, but holds a variety of electronic music. as usual it features eight exclusive tracks from exceptional artists, who haven’t released on blackfoxmusic before together with brand new music from our well-know label artists: douglas greed (exploited, parquet recordings or bpitch control), wareika (connaisseur, compost or visionquest), tagtraeumer, masterton, mitja & daniel mes, toureau, radiothérapie, dominik häring
