the girl and the chameleon will probably fall under the genre tags of acid, electro and techno but it is so much more. witschkowski has been responsible for exemplary electronics throughout his career and this latest is undeniably some of his best. the album sees the exaltics don a dust mask. warehouse parties, strobe lights and fog machines and the 90s underground acid scene are definite influences. but theres more. across thirteen tracks and two slabs of wax the jena artist takes you on a journey into his world. gnarled and clinical grooves, caustic 303 encounters, depraved dancefloor destroyers and soothing machine music. a sonic trek through tough and taut textures with touches of tenderness. an album that shows a depth of ability, an enviable talent and a knowledge of how to break floorboards.

three tracker of primers. top tune mixmag germany. on my own - a heaving banger with filled with gloomy stabs and strobe-filled crescendos, slapped with heavyweight claps in all the right places. cut and thrust - frenetic synths spin in a shower of sparks around razor sharp hi-hat barrages. duck and cover! relax - a deeper, organic feeling permeates this lights-out groove filled with wooden hits, simmering shakers, and warm synth washes.

critically acclaimed uk label livity sound announce their first 12 inch of 2015.

the long awaited ms 08 is a split e.p between techno-rave unit minimum syndicat and the kosmik kommando, aka mike dred (rephlex, r&s, machine codes), one of the true creators of acid techno, once called the jimi hendrix of the tb-303, and partner of richard d. james within the legendary universal indicator project. no beardy hipster techno, no bullshits, just pure analog strobe-jams from the vault of rave.

as headman gears up to release his sixth album it appears he is having something of an identity crisis... is he headman? or is he, as his mother named him, robi insinna? either way, he is one of disco s most daring of producers and, monikers aside, anything he releases is well worth your attention. especially this first sampler from the album 6. a collaborative affair, each track sees him teaming up with kindred spirits and friends to forge new groove paths and re-position old references. -work- takes a kraftwerkian recipe and stretches it like a well made pizza dough, -barbarism- dusts off the cosmic guitars for an enlightened star-gazing session, -der- sits happily between black strobe and jeff wayne while -sleep red- cruises towards dfa city limits in a cowbell escalade. each one of them will have you hankering for the album. guaranteed.

it is time to turn on the strobe lights and the fog machines! exploration and johannes volk return with *the awakened guardians*. the title track on the a side sends you on a 7 minutes long journey, filled with a merciless bass, heavy dubs and a sinister atmosphere. the b side starts with *arcane*, beginning with a simple groove and evolving into a complex synth monster. last but not least we have *indestructible*, the track builds on subtle hi-hats, snare staccatos and a massive bass.
pressing on black vinyl.

creativity is born from chaos. when you allow yourself to give up control, unexpected and beautiful things can happen. after the success of >the face of the planet< and >dont stop, the subs bring you their newest single, the title track of their latest album >decontrol<.
its a slow, sleazy & sexy song that builds and builds toward its apotheosis: we want your mad soul, we want decontrol.

the mysterious rod enterns the balans arena with an uncompromising, abstract techno affair. little can we tell you about this mysterious character. only that a famous dj from rodterdam is behind this alter ego and that he did a very well received ep on ben klocks klockworks earlier this year.
the music coming from this persona is one hundred percent puristic, stripped down, dj tool techno. with a capital t you have seen that right! no nonsense hypnotism as we rarely see it nowadays. three or four sounds per track, each pushed and stretched inside out for maximum result. these tunes are made for dark, strobe lid cellars or underground techno temples such as berghain.
techno is back and this is about as abstract and underground as it gets. we look forward to release more rod records in the future.

did you ever hear about christian strobe? no? hardly surprising, cause its a brand new solo-project by christian schnall, one half of disco trash music (maximal electro) and spruce (dreamy shoegaze). the german guy is musically rooted in the 80ies and early 90ies and as christian strobe, he combines airy new wave pop, retro-futurism with a pinch of house. the original mix of >midnight call< is full of magic, desire and an airy atmosphere, but still a simple pop song. the nightdrive version is recommended for nightly rides with your ferrari testarossa through big city lights. the italo-disco-pop-masters from codebreaker gives the original a funky french taste and reknowned keenhouse conjured a good-feeling remix with lovley summer-piano-chords. midnight call? you could name it sunshine call! in a more and more digital environment, the warmth of the analog vhs-tape version gives you the relaxing mood you need. the placid >lonesome astronaut< completed the debut-ep and takes you to a cosmic trip though time and space. stay tuned for the upcoming full-length album called >heartworks< in autumn 2011.

its been a while since the last rsb release, but then tracks like this dont come along every day! for their first vinyl appearance on a label other than their own, enigmatic german duo ancient methods do the honourable thing and break out the whip, a track that comes across like a 2-step party in the foundry of thor himself. lets lazily label it anvil techno, because as far as we are aware no has yet invented a genre that adequately desribes music such as this. and as we have come to expect, much the same can be said of the evil sickness that is eat like hawks by bjorn svin (with a little help from karsten pflum, jona olesen & copyflex!). it starts like it means to go on, with a gnarled loop and indecipherable distorted vocals, and is gradually tweaked and augmented to the point of destruction. all manner of ill bass, overdriven filters, zaps, clanky drums & feedback join the party before the whole affair is brought to an abrupt end by the strange foreign lady that we have come to know and love over the course of the track. truly music for small, sweaty, strobe-driven cellars.

mighty robot kicks off 2009 with the first vinyl release from french electro artists katelectro and jauzas the shining. the original version of >plug< is music custom-made for a dark room and a strobe, the spoken vocal adding to the sense of vague unease. newcomer ottomatique takes his >plug< rework in a different direction, retaining the vocal, adding some eighties synths and underpinning it all with a throbbing industrial meets disco bassline. the legendary ultradyne push the discomfort and discord up a notch in their remix, staying fairly true to the original, but drenching it with their unique sinister atmospherics. things take a reflective turn for closing track >art of noise< as ghosts crackle in the circuits and bring the collection to a close.

something slightly different perhaps, but probably even more cutting edge and effective. from definition records we present christian fischer. he is probably one of the most open-minded techno artists around judging his numerous releases which covers just about all aspects of techno music. miracle places is solid stomper with electroid influences and dreamy vocals. this would definitely not be misplaced in a dj hell or terence fixmer set. the b-side is a collaboration between fischer and newcomer the ascent. this results in a dark driven and steady stepper with freaky melody. a solid b-side track for the little hours accompanied by smokemachines in full throttle and full on strobe-action

nice price deal !!! faces aka niklass, former member of the french >troubles fete< sound system, experienced >liver<, has accomplished himself working with >popof< and >manu le malin< while putting dance floors on fire for over 10 years. repented, his interior quest is now heading towards the crunchy electro of edbangers (sebastian), alter ego, back strobe or the citizen team. rock n roll, rave or electroclash influences, reunited for a new approach of electro, oriented towards the instrumental side, where the machine comes in last, where the synthesizer is played as a violin. a first, strong, dancing and granulous ep. level 75 has been created in 2005, the label is 100 percent vinyl and is avid of discoveries, most of the signatures are original projects, first-timers, as the wee-kids, the italians of electrik bet or the producer from marseille (france) traxx dillaz
