the final of four in the inertia series with four new exclusive techno tracks. the final hurrah for ann aimees inertia compilation sees four modern techno heavyweights add their exclusive sounds to the fold. recent album stars skudge are as economical yet efficient as youd expect with their booming >pollution<, before conforce designs yet more lush sounds with his deep technoid cut >when it appeared<. restless romainian cosmin trg confounds expectationst again with his rusty, rolling cut >plaisir interdit< before fachwerk co-founder sascha rydell gets a little spaced out on his kinetic and melancholic effort, >rainy days<. stand out on its own, but peerless when paired with the other three parts, inertia 4 ends a special project indeed.

grande material presents kiko! rolling smooth beats killed by the famous camp! limited release so get it fast!

stephane signore delivers an excellent record called >we live in a world of ba57ard ep< chordy and firm techno that will rock in venues with good soundsystem. with long an well constructed builds on the opening track called bad trip. this is a vinyl that will no doubt get support from larger names in the industry. the second track is the stanny franssen remix of ba57ard. this is a nice rolling remix with a lot of dynamics and way more uplifting that the original. for the 3rd track on the ep we find this original piece. this is a very deep somewhat chaotic production, this might just be the eps winning track. with a strong arrangement and little vocal edits this will no doubt get played alot. for the closing track we have got >paranoid< the title covers the load, strong dark techno music that will rock your world.

ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the shimmy sham sham sessions. fall is knocking at the door. dancers bathe into the red sunsets hoping to squeeze the very last drop out of summers bliss. they know theyll soon have to haul their tropicana scented butt to reality… but in the meantime they gaze upon those last three months of love and dreams. half stunned, they let their mind wander across the meanders of the promising days to come. time has stopped. the beat keeps on rolling, and those words swirl and resonate in your head: >pony loves the sun, to touch her back and see her run…< in the heat of the night, let those sweaty numbers melt your worries. no top hat and gator shoes required…just shake that ass!
