kenny dope gonzales and lil louie vega made their production debut on the new york label way back when, so there can be no one more fitting to compile the first new album release on the imprint. in case you didnt know, strictly rhythm were one of the most important house labels of the 1990s. established by entrepreneur mark finkelstein and serious club babe gladys pizzarro, the label would launch the careers of, among others, roger sanchez, erick morillo and, as we ve seen, masters at work. pretty significant, then! strictly maw is an album no true househead will want to miss

"dust science returns with fresh blood for 2007 on the faith is fear ep. weve been fans of fabrice lig for years her at dust. hes released an avalanche of great techno on classic labels such as kms, 7th city, fcomm and playhouse and hes done us produ with his first release for us. "access denied" is a surging, swinging, darkside monster thats relentlessly tricky and funky. the detroit pads are seriously tripped out and swamped in glitchy beats and stepping hi-hats, and theres some serious low end; its a hell of a track. regis and female are responsible for some of the best uk techno ever made. here they contribute c/chaos; performed live at the orbit in leeds, its simply massive, propelled by downward twisting strings and utterly slamming, intoxicating electronic rhythms. techno luminaries the 65d mavericks are renowned for their driving but innovative techno. "wiretap" is well up to their high standards."

jay west and christian mallloni have joined together to create a hybrid filter funk sound all of their own. the original reaks havoc on the dance floor creating serious synth sweeps and bass drops to keep this track versatile and improvisational throughout. the vocal sample quirky as it is rings in your head while the percussive rhythm and killer bassline dri this piece home. nightshift boss man hipp e steps up for the b side with a new style and brings down the house. extended peak time mix here with big synth rides, crispy rhythm and big kick. wicked breakdown riddled with bits from the original and ever expanding sonic modulation takes this cut to the limit

i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!
