toresch were formed last year by detlef weinrich (tolouse low trax), viktoria wehrmeister and jan wagner and if there�s anything that links them to suba, it�s the fact that they are also cultural adventurers with fascinating back stories.

infamous for his part in glasgow�s dj duo optimo and the production partnership naum gabo (speicher / kompakt extra), j.g. wilkes is an esteemed music producer with a catalogue that has been building since the turn of the century. the �jaxon� ep is j.g. wilkes� first widely available solo 12� release containing four exquisite cuts exploring the ethereal boundaries of electronica. taken from a limited edition mini album box set entitled �german pizza party� (vf111), j.g. wilkes� �jaxon� is the only track from that collection aimed anywhere near a dancefloor, in which rich and potent rhythms collide with foreboding frequencies. cologne�s barnt isn�t afraid to let the elegance of space and chaos into his heartfelt rework, solidly cementing the koln-glasgow freundschaft. the ep features two further productions from wilkes, the melancholic, beatless and occasionally ruthless �bathing beauty� in its original form and �useful tool�, given a turbulent rework by naum gabo.

wenn voigt & voigt im studio aufeinander treffen, fliegen die funken innerhalb dieser einzigartigen maschinerie namens kompakt gefährlich tief. das resultiert oft in der ungewöhnlichen kombination komplett separierter elemente, die plötzlich zu lautem geplauder anheben. auf ihrem album-debüt die zauberafte welt der anderen gehen die voigt-brüder einer vielzahl von einflüssen nach, um eine unvergleichliche klangwelt zu formen, die zum ersten mal das vollständig realisiert, was frühere, inzwischen klassische tracks auf speicher andeuteten. zeitgleich produziert zum essentiellen techno von erdingertrax, entscheidet dieses album sich für eine psychedelische erzählstrategie und führt so auf brilliante weise die experimentellen neigungen von voigt & voigt vor ohren... ohne dabei das eigene wissen um den perfekten groove aus den augen zu verlieren.

fright returns after a long absence in which we sought refuge in hades during the hail storm of gothic hysteria that passed over earths minions. some may remember us from the breakthrough debut release from gatekeeper or the unholy italo-techno alliance we shared with antoni maiovvi. now finally, we return, this halloween, with our most ominous mission yet. naum gabo aka glasgows jonnie wilkes (1/2 of optimo) and james savage started their illustrious career with a trio of releases as naum for kompakts speicher series then have most recently gone on to release music on dissident, thisisnotanexit, endless flight, world unknown and most recently optimo music. created and recorded between 2010 and 2011 in their hottrax studio, naum gabo have come up with > the crystal line<, > galena< and > dmitris darkness<. specifically delivered in mind for fright, they keep true to the labels mission of releasing music for unseen films with 3 mid-tempo and certainly melancholic gems that also maintain an unmistakable ng groove for the stranger dancefloors we know and love. an absolute highlight, > the crystal line< is dedicated to the late, great kurt hauenstein aka supermax. superbly cut loud at 45rpm, this epic tribute is what vinyl addicts dream of hearing.

following the legendary first two, stoically super minimal records >sog 1< and >sog 2< that provide ecstasy disguised as boredom on kompakt extra/speicher in 2007, and the outstanding beautifully bizarre >sog - abweichung< on profan in 2010, we are now listening to >fremde hÄnde<. like its predecessors, this sog stands in the tradition of >the art of omission< with wolfgang voigt variegating his preference for the bluntly straightforward quaver bass in two different forms. the a-side contains a tonally noncommittal sequence ambling across the keyboard in quantised form, reminiscing of the arpeggiator (accompaniment function) function of early 70ies and 80ies synthesizers. on the b-side, daring and thoroughly unquantised quaver rhythms rock around a bass drum that, as the only straight element, tries to keep the whole thing together. the result sounds a little like a delirious can live.

the ep is supported by laurent garnier, francesco farfa, veeurs, mauro alpha, amdjs, and many more. the pulsar ep has a track for every taste: the original mix produced by steve lorenz (elektrotribe berlin, fassade, open concept, klientele) is a dancefloor number founding his ispiration on the berlin side of techno, with industrial percussions and mechanical rhythms! for starting well we needed a strong remixer and we choosed axel bartsch (kompakt speicher, sportclub) which transphormed completely the track fusing the original sounds with techouse beats and airy melodic synths , this is a remix you need in your bag! completing the package there are two strong remixes from danjel esperanza (meleon, backdoor beauty) and bjoern scheurmann (fassade, paso music). danjels remix is a powerful techno track with a looped groove that will hypnotize the dancefloor for sure, while bjoerns version is a driving and intelligent techno bomb with more plastic sounds ... 4 different mixes for a massive start of keep on limited!!! the original mix produced by steve lorenz (elektrotribe berlin, fassade, open concept, klientele) remixer are: axel bartsch (kompakt speicher, sportclub), danjel esperanza (meleon, backdoor beauty) and bjoern scheurmann (fassade, paso music)

miss kittin & the hacker are right back in action with the first commercially available single from their long awaited (and excellent) second album entitled, suitably enough, >two<. this 12inch comes with a remix by french newcomer maxime dangles. 1000 dreams reflects just one style on an album crammed full of ideas, songs, sounds, influences, hues and textures.first up is >1000 dreams (maxime dangles remix)<. maxime is a (comparatively) fresh-faced newcomer from valence in france, who previously has had some remarkable releases on labels such as colognes kompakt extra (speicher) and scandium records. he strips down the original and imbues it with a thumping melodic club vibe, utilising kittins vocal to devastating effect. nice stuff. very. 1000 dreams<. miss kittin and the hacker sprinkle space dust on a song that sounds like it has been germinated in a mid 70s discotheque, tended with loving care during the 80s and revealed to the world in 2009. a dreamy collision of influences, classic and new. 1000 dreams (instrumental). pretty much self-explanatory, this one. enjoy

so habt ihr die fotos eurer liebsten und freunde immer dabei. cooler fotorahmen als schlüsselanhänger. (8 mb speicher reichen für über 100 fotos in der auflösung des fotorahmens, inkl. usb kabel).

proggy infected darker techhouse two tracker incl tom pooks remix (neutonmusik, speicher, ovum)

wir torkeln weiter, könnte man meinen, wenn man die neue intus hört. wer sich an die b-seite der speicher 50 erinnert, weiss wovon die rede ist. hier tanzt die psychedelisch verstimmte slidegitarre um den beat & die verschwommene trancehookline verschwimmt vor den augen wie ein hitzeflimmern

after the sucessful 2nd release by tom pooks (speicher/kompakt) after punk continues there policy of releasing quality tracks! incl. sardize remix

der track airways lässt sofort den speicher 34 - effekt aufkommen. ganz grosse hymmne 2007 , da geht kein weg dran vorbei!!!!!

after his big hit on speicher 34 (kompakt), oxia teams up this time with gino s ft snake on notorious supported by john acquaviva, the hacker, david duriez, michael mayer and many others... elektro with smashing tracks dark groovin stuff!! the original track provides some stunning grooves for the electro orientated floors, whereas the oxia rework version is set to be huge at the minimal tech scene as well as it will delight the neo trance fans!!

wow, ich bin begeistert !! speziell aone setzt uns emotional voll zu. nach der speicher 34 selten so ein melancholischen neo trance floorstrahler gehört. die beiden anderen tracks ebenfalls klare sache für den floor !!! dj monster

was bastien grine für den strengen geradeaus-formalismus ala studio 1 ist und tom pooks, unser hands-in-the-air- raveheld für speicher, verbindet maxime zu einer grossen mischung aus beidem. feingliedrige eleganz bei maximaler tanzbarkeit

die sympatischen jungs aus mv gründen ihr eigenes label >acker< und streuen zum auftakt die ersten drei sattkoerner aus. nicht genmanipuliert, aber mit soviel liebe, dass die ernte so viele fruechte tragen wird, dass der speicher einfach voll werden muss.. euphorischer minimaler techhouse mit leichtem pop einschlag !!! kombinat 100 eben...

ravehouse is back with the menstruation monsters !! incl strong remixes by christopher just (gigolo) and axel bartsch (sportclub, speicher)

der sportclub präsentiert sich in bestbesetzung. spielmacher axel bartsch und der stürmer franco zeiger knüpfen da an wo speicher aufhörte. bartsch,bartsch,bartsch.

f�r den d�nischen produzenten und performer rune reilly k�lsch hat sich kompakt als ideale musikalische heimat bew�hrt: mit zwei hochgelobten alben und einer inzwischen als klassisch geltenden serie an solo-eps unter dem speicher-banner hat er sein technohandwerk auf die n�chste stufe gebracht, mit kurs auf melodie, emotion und sogar autobiographische elemente Ð ohne an druck oder charakter zu verlieren. mit dem neuen langspieler 1989 pr�sentiert k�lsch das finale kapitel einer eleganten, an h�hepunkten reichen albumtrilogie, die mit der erkundung fr�her kindheitserinnerungen und einfl�sse auf Ò1977Ó (kom 276 cd 107) Ð dem jahr seiner geburt Ð begann, und auf Ò1983Ó (kom 329 cd 122) fortgef�hrt wurde, einer lebhaften und pittoresken reise durch das fr�hachtziger europa, das er als sechsj�hriger erlebte.
