olmeto’s first release of 2009 takes the flamenco bull by the horns and drops a track of such spanish influence, you’ll think you’re at las ventas! señor bushwackas ‘dromederie’ neatly entangles beautifully mournful spanish guitars, passionate feet stomping flamenco dancers with modern glitches to create a seriously ferocious tune with an underlying feeling of treachery. the percussive elements embroiled in the final three minutes (specially edited as a dj tool for the creative amongst you) are so unique, the reaction evoked on any primed and ready dancefloor has to be seen to be believed…it’s a tune you’re not going to forget in a hurry! side two, ‘the blues’ takes an altogether slower, more winding approach but is sure to draw you in from the off. whilst we are reminded ‘this is the blues’, rising melodies and catchy loops reminiscent of grooving disco transport you to a sleazy den of dance iniquity. marking the twentieth release on layo & bushwacka’s olmeto imprint, ‘dromederie’ & ‘the blues’ are a stunning representation of the forward thinking dance music this label has to offer. not to be ignored.

when we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like robert hood, dan bell, plastikman, pansonic and mike ink to name a few. whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started. so we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way. in minimal music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation. the grandfather paradox is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer rene barjavel in his book - le voyageur imprudent. we took suggestions out of that because we felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. the fact that we did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes us quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now. - henrik schwarz, ?e & dixon

mutant clan is the name of the new project from timo maas and santos. these boys have really come back with a bang, havent they? having been a fan of santos productions and sound, timo arranged for some studio time together, and the rest as they say.... >inside< is a real moody bitch. with its phat planetesq bassline (not a bad thing, im sure youll agree!), rolling drums and deep ass d base, its one hell of a groove. >outside < is definitely the older, more rebellious, troublesome brother: a darker affair that growls at you from its opening bars, sounds and efx thrown at you from out of darkness. it really is a wonderfully constructed track. once again, maas and santos (aka mutant clan) deliver the goods in the finest way possible and once again, dubfire and sci+tec bring you some of the finest techno around today. a true match made in heaven
