man/machine: since their self titled debut album, vienna’s elektro guzzi made an impact on the scene no one could have imagined. being the first ever real techno live band, they took the scene by storm with their unparalleled stage appeal and future-forward sound. rocking clubs like berghain and fabric as well as numerous festivals (including sónar, time warp, spring 10, ade and mutek), it was the headstart of 2010. playing constantly live at countless gigs, plus live and studio appearances with patrick pulsinger and stefan goldmann, elektro guzzi’s music was set on fast forward evolution mode. “extrakt ep” captures the latest state of elektro guzzi’s incredible live sound, recorded in london with the outstanding capabilities of brendon ‘octave’ harding, the trusted engineer of dub legend lee ‘scratch’ perry, and mixed by mega-producer patrick pulsinger. the four cuts capture elektro guzzi’s raw side, turning out dark sexy grooves with an almost indie edge - probably their most danceable and dj friendly studio material to date - specifically produced for the vinyl format

whats my name, the latest single from the bajan songstress rihanna, is not a cover of the clashs 1977 punk classic, but finds riri taking a detour from the dancefloor-scorching grooves of only girl to craft a steamier cut which draws its heat from her short-lived, but much-buzzed-about relationship with the t-dot heavyweight. here, the upbeat synth boardwork of stargate sets the stage for a heaping helping of innuendo from both collaborators, drizzy handles verse one, sing-rapping his way through a double-entendre-peppered opener (the square root of 69 is (eight/ate) something… right? cause i been tryin to work it out.), and rihanna responds in kind, lacing her verses and chorus with some playful come-ons of her own. digging this catchy ode to young love/lust? then be sure to grab a copy of this vinyl and the heavy remixes it has.

clink closes out the year with a powerful double pack from tony rohr, titled >oddmatik<. this is his first solo release on clink since 2008, proving that the best come to those who wait. refining what is most popularly known has his >voodoo techno< sound, rohr has accomplished a mature collection of six diverse tracks via his virus b, nord modular, lead 2, an elektron monomachine and machinedrum. each piece has a different charisma, ranging from melancholy house to peak techno, achieving an absorbing variation of ideas that only a few are able to do so fluently. rohr is one of new yorks most prolific and interesting techno artists and has an impressive discography dating back to 1999. he has achieved popular releases on iconic imprints like cocoon, plus 8, drumcode, weave and podium, and works closely on production with american heavy-weights tim xavier, alexi delano and john selway. his charismatic and futuristic production style is ever-present throughout his music, and he maintains an unparalleled and dynamic sound while staying in tune with the ever-evolving techno and house genres. >oddmatik< summarizes tonys eleven-year journey in the studio and on the stage, and is some of his most compelling work to date.

born in chile but raised in sweden, alexi delano, with fellow swedes like cari lekebusch, adam beyer, jesper dahlback, joel mull and others, became part of some of the first wave of swedish electronic music producers that made a name for themselves in the mid 90s, releasing on techno labels such as plus8, missile, primate, hybrid, svek and many more. his style dwells in the perfect balance between shiny minimalism and dark vivasious techno, which is exactly what you can expect from his brand new ep for leena >un do me<. as a long term friend of mobilee, and also an artist who’s productions fit well with many of our artists dj styles and tastes, its a great pleasure to finally release one of his productions on leena. both tracks on the ep >un do me< and >watch out< come with a powerful punch and high energy. with more than two decades on the stage, hes an artist that is certainly showing no intentions of slowing down. we hope you enjoy this!

prompt has been producing electronic music since the mid 90s and during this time has made a string of outstanding eps, some of which have even won awards. but who exactly is this man from madrid: prompt? to stand on a stage and party for hours in his own world is not prompts style. he would rather sit in the background of his studio and create unforgettable and ever more fascinating tunes. his debut ep on highgrade set the tone for his convincing mix of sound design and subtle hooks. these are also the most important elements for his new highgrade release. in >sharing sounds< its all about deepness. expressed through dense loopy forests and deep broken valleys. you have to engage in the sound experience and see the world prompt has built for you. few other techno producers have such a distinctive style or unique voice. with this ep you could be blindfolded on the dance floor and you would still recognize the music. the sound will convince you once again, both in the club and on the turntables at home.

>the voices< is the debut 12 inch from bobby and annie. drawing on their experiences as residents at the mint club, uk, the pair have crafted a versatile ep that sits as comfortably in a peak time set as it does on a hazy 6am dance floor. taken from a collection of vocal out-takes the voices have been cleverly obscured through various production techniques and layered around drums and old school analogue synth lines to unique effect. the results are two haunting, hypnotic, yet upbeat dj tools. the title track, >voices<, uses deftly interwoven vocal samples as the focus and driving hook. shuffled percussion takes a back seat amidst a discordant, attention-grabbing synth interlude that harks back to the playful garage sound of90s chicago house. the outcome is dramatic, intense and functional. on the b-side, >loose ends<, is a more rugged affair that gives the bass and drums centre stage. the vocals are pitched and trippily float in and out of the track whilst the familiar sound of fairlight stabs punctuate the groove. the effect is eerie, yet accessible, and rounds off this stunning ep.

stuttgart geh¥rt zwar nicht unbedingt zu den gr¥?ten st?dten in deutschland, aber mit sicherheit zu den sch¥nsten. au?erdem ist stuttgart das pflaster der vielleicht besten punk-, skin- und hardcoreszene in deutschland, bezogen auf den zusammenhalt und den antifaschistischen background. dar?ber hinaus ist stuttgart die heimat der freiboiter.
die band existiert bereits seit 1997. in der aktuellen besetzung seit 2001. der sound spiegelt alle m¥glichen einfl?sse wieder. punk, oi!, rock n roll, hardcore. nenn es einfach streetpunk, oder such dir selbst einen begriff aus. die teilweise politischen und sozialkritischen, aber auch ironischen und schlicht aus dem allt?glichen leben gegriffenen texte werden kombiniert mit treibenden riffs und eing?ngigen melodien.die produktion des albums ist der hammer 12 bzw. 14 richtig gute songs die es einem schwer machen nicht von anfang an mit zu gr¥hlen
denk ?ber die freiboiter was du willst. mit ihrer spielfreude und energie brauchen die f?nf jungs keinen vergleich zu scheuen. schon gar nicht mit irgendwelchen zweifelhaften, in die jahre gekommenen reunion-bands. dies wurde im in- und ausland, bei shows mit brigada flores magon, broilers, guerilla, heros & zeros, klasse kriminale, loikaemie, los fastidios, lurkers, lokalmatadore, miburo, the movement, oppressed, prowlers, peter and the test tube babies, sham 69, stage bottles, sidekick, subhumans, scrapy, u.k. subs, volxsturm etc. schon mehrfach unter beweis gestellt.
es w?re falsch die freiboiter als reine politische band zu bezeichnen, jedoch ist der begriff >antifascist oi!< nicht nur beiwerk, sondern fester bestandteil des selbstverst?ndnisses der band. das k¥nnen heutzutage wohl nur wenige bands aus dem so genannten streetpunk sektor von sich behaupten.gib ihnen etwas bier (besser nicht zu viel!), schn?r die stiefel und mach dich bereit f?r den sound aus motorcity stuttgart.

the begining of a new stage on exquisite music, a time to explore different directions without forgeting the imprint s deepfoundations. gilles bineaux delivers a neo-detroit ish masterpiece, whilst bioground takes you on a tripped out journey

strong minimal techno release with balls from sinisa tamamovic from bosnia. the way he creates atmospheres with only a few sounds, perfectly fitting breaks and unique soundmodelling show his outstanding talent, certainly a guy to watch. additionally alex bau delivers a remix, and well, what else could you expect as another sure floorshot from mr. techno. go grab this just as all the topjocks before...early plays: alex bau, len faki, kai kinkel...

rippertons perspectiv label with its 2nd split release giving new talents a stage. 1st split is a huge release with two sublime tracks by agnes and johnny white. not sure if this one tops it... but crowdpleaser and entlet deliver both two tracks that stand out of the pack!!. especially the b2 track by entlet needs some extra attention... a contemporary house track that has so much hidden power. phat old school bassline kills it everywhere.. and then the tracks continues to build and build.... like a modern dj pierre wildpitch affair! crowdpleaser delivers two solid tracks that went straight into the dj sets of many influential djs. highly effective and useful house tools (a description that actually doesnt do justice to these tracks which are much more then just tools!) ripperton proofs once again to have a great ear for new talents!!

producing and releasing techno since 2002 it was xpansuls release on richie hawtins plus 8 imprint (in collaboration with alexi delano) that shot him onto the world techno stage. since then releases on ovum, soma and synewave have helped his stature grow even more. after a well received remix of percs >trapjaw< xpansul now drops his first full release on perc trax, comprising three pristinely produced slices of techno and tech-house covering a number of bases.

>delusions of grandeur< by pilocka krach is a 12 inch beyond good and evil. right from the first dry and crisp beat you are kicked to another dimension. irony and punk reign supreme, far away from the usual stuff that moves the dance floor. those witnessed pilocka live know what to expect: raw thumping beats, esprit, bizarre funkiness and a powerful, unique one woman performance. on stage or on record - she gets straight down to it!
