though classically trained, arthur russells major contributions to the music world is in the dance genre. despite the fact that his pioneering work in the late 70s and on through the 80s was only quietly acknowledged at the time, his long-term impact is best described as formidable. russell died in 1992, but his art lives on and his influence is still felt in the world of dance music and beyond. his innovative, leftfield dance records flew way ahead of what people were used to hearing at the time, due in part to his involvement in new yorks downtown avant-garde music scene.

its a love story: stil vor talent have long been mad about niconé and sascha braemer so that the recent past has seen some very memorable releases by the two producers. now its about time they join forces to release a whole album together, of which the first set of two vinyl packages is taken. known for their often very musical techno and house productions, >romantic thrills part 1< encapsulates this style while adding an extra element of sex and pop appeal, without straying too far from the dancefloor. >pianotic<, >runaway< and >caje< are three prime examples of how to incorporate piano, trumpet or guitar melodies organically into electronic music without sounding artificial

a2 – lake people – tellap tacleipzig is calling. well known for his debut on kollektiv turmstrasses musik gewinnt freunde lake people impresses with his minimalistic trademark sound that dares to be melodic as well. great stuff for prime times and big rooms but keep away from pyro shows.

having originally released tony rohrs oddlantik avenue album back in february, cari lekebuschs h-productions have done what they do best and clubbed together between their tight roster of like-minded artists to come up with a eye-widening selection of reworks for this remixes ep.
left to their own devises to pick what tracks to remix, the individuals own tastes came to the fore. the advent unsurprising opted for the twisted techno killer >eden acid< while cari lekebusch jumped at reworking the crazily tripped out >rz-fun< and alexi delanos low-slung mix of >nightdrive< is beautifully melancholic and deeply intense with fizzing percussion.

some may have thought the trail was cold, but battant (chloe raunet and joel dever) have just been running as far as they can. not running away from something, just keeping on moving. from the headless wave of their first lp, towards the strange shores of their second album, as i ride with no horse that is produced by its a fine line (aka ivan smagghe & tim paris) and will be released worldwide in october 2011. first glimpse: shutter. this is one of the many places where they now stand. a dry, sparse yet catchy romp. on their own edge (between early cure and meth country if you need ready made tags), electronics still dance in the corner, reigned in by the sharp its a fine line (tim paris & ivan smagghe) production. the live take of clearcut is what it says. ghosts in the machines, spookiness never in vain, this is a real song. the idea of a cover of westbam and nenas classic old school, baby had been in the mind of the team for a while. this track is a part of our history. not an easy tackle but we like to think they have made the anthem theirs. going beyond the anecdote, here is a seriously rocking wink with early support from optimo, james holden, tiga, chloe and more.
