techniques berlin wurde 1984 von den schulfreunden andreas gregor und david rout gegründet und begann mit synthesizern, drumcomputern und gitarren zu experimentieren. in der anfangsphase war die band stark von den britischen new-romantic-bands the human league, visage, yazoo, omd und depeche mode sowie den aufstrebenden kanadischen synth-pop-bands rational youth, men without hats und trans-x beeinflusst. es dauerte ein paar jahre, bis sie ihre elektronischen spielzeuge beherrschten und eine einzigartige mischung aus süchtig machenden elektropop-melodien und wunderschön ausgearbeiteten alternativen beats kreierten.

limited edition of 200 copies

damon wild and david sumner (aka functions) relationship dates back to 1991 at lord michaels future shock, limelight, new york city when damon was running experimental records via northcott productions. at the time, he first saw something in dave and added him to brand x, a record pool run by moneypenny. but their bond is based around a period 5 years later when dave had an apartment above rogue music at 251 west 30th street in midtown, manhattan. it was during this time damon developed him as a synewave artist and released his first ep as function in the fall of 1996 catalog number, sw-24. falling in and out of touch over the years, across continents, the two have somehow remained on the same cosmic path. so its not a coincidence that now damon has turned to dave to release his first album in 13 years, during the time he is reissuing that first synewave ep on recompiled i/ii & ii/ii (a-ton lp02/03). this is where those paths cross again 21 years later, this fall, dave will release cosmic path on infrastructure. the cosmic connection.

repress! san proper serves three great hypnotic mininmal groovin tracks for house & techno lovers

bxl003 is the third release of the artist-run brussels based label bxl. this third release by simon halsberghe features a collaboration with sagat (real name wiet lengeler), who previously released on the brussels’ label vlek and had his music included in the fabric mixes of both ben klock and joris voorn. the track is called the set-up and is a relentless sawtooth rave tune that finds it’s balance between the heydays of belgian techno and more contemporary ‘hi-fi’ attitudes towards functional yet idiosyncratic dance tracks. on the b-side space tom sounds is a deeper and more hypnotic trip with lush broad pads that provide a space for the mind as well as sonic pressure on the body. the last track, snared, takes things into breakbeat territory. with razor sharp snares and a pulsating baseline this track lives somewhere in the venn diagram overlap between rave, front 242 and an air raid siren going off.
