slamming peak time techno tracks, no more words necessary !!

releasing >jeffer< as the first single is quite unsual regarding other power tracks that feature robot voices but who cares really anyway? berlin buddies modeselektor made their version of >jeffer< and themself say it sounds like the good days of audion when he is not so minimal - and they make it to the point. mdslktrs remix is a full on techno mix but playable for house or new rave djs as well. it extends every genres bouderies and presents a sound that everybody can meet at. on the flip you get para ones epic version which shows that he is still top of his game. after his classic remix for boys noize >my head< he answers >jeffer< with this banger. para one is pushing the good feeling of the original track to another level by adding new melodies and an epic breakdown in the middle of his mix. 2 killer remixes!

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

here it is ... the fourth volume of the rebirth unreleased series. it includes hot material and brand new exclusives: music from artists like a:xus, rocco, tevo howard and andre lodemann.
after a few years of silence austin bascom is back as a:xus another fantastic song! featuring the sweet vocals of graph nobel, >suite disappointment< grew in the last few months and is ready for a full release in october. the original package included mixes from pete heller, james teej and motorcitysoul, and received the support of a diverse range of djs. it has been played by tiesto, erik morillo and joris voorn in their essential mixes on bbc radio1. rocco (rodamaal), who loved and supported the original mix for months, drops two deeper, soul infused, techytinged remix, proper house music we ve heard in a while! food for your soul!
just signed from rebirth, angela k. is an artistic alter ego born in 2005: angela scalvini, conservatory trained songwriters, meets the electronic artist isacco zanola and experimental guitarist maurizio rinaldi. from germany, rising producer andre’ lodemann, transforms >ballad< into a soulful techno master-piece that grows and grows with every play. takes the strength and sharp nature of the original and sets it against a clinically clean and instantly mesmerising techno backdrop, a gorgeous concoction of shrill synths and crisp beats!
a mysterious figure in music tevo howard is surely a very talented producer coming from chicago. his brand new track >crazy love< is already big for djs like tiga, tensnake, manuel tur and deetron!

eijajei - aye ya yay! this is a hit record! but what else would you expect when two of berlins hottest dj and producers, guido schneider and jens bond, are working together!? following the duos major success on pokerflat in 2004, we have managed to get the two of them back together for this exclusive release on highgrade. the results are well worth it. >getting sleepy< pulls us comfortably into the musical world of jens bond and guido schneider. without being obvious, and certainly not lazy, the track reclines into a laid back groove that hooks straight into the rhythm, creating a perfect atmosphere for the psychedelic vocals and hypnotic groove. you wont be able to escape the mood, making this the perfect techno weapon for the late night hours. we like! >eijeijei< is the highlight of the record: warm drums, siren like vocals, the whole thing seems to come from a long way away with incredibly smooth beats which make this track so special. maybe this is the sound of a table dance bar in the jungle? its incredibly sexy in any case

stunning minimal techno three track ep !! incl holgi star remix, peak time tune...

3 track ep from g. mitchell. techno soul in the hi-tech funk sound

after his recent release on clone a made up sound (aka 2562) presents his new platform for his own beat freakery. it is no news anymore that dave huismans is one talented guy! his debut 2562 album was one of last years highlights ... and his new album set for early winter 09 will be not create a smaller buzz! in the meanwhile mr huismans also managed to squeeze out some killer tracks out of his machines for his a made up sound project! these 2 tracks will get a limited run on his newly started label. >rework< started out as a sneaky bonus remix but ended up as a killer techno track in its own right, with stomping 4/4 beats, an irresistibly simple 3 note chord melody and gut-wrenching sub bass. contrasting is >closer< on the flip, where a yearning vocal stab spirals around a warm synth line that just keeps on building over signature punchy broken beats and a big b-line, all the way until its climaxing breakdown. highly recommended!

c series goes big for their 5th release and brings some big peak time mayhem!
c5, omen: doesnt really need much on an introduction, the famous track gets funked up, flipped over and goes flat out for a twisting and turning journey through the well known parts of the original and then bangs on from there in true c series style.
c4, lets go blimey!: lets go, it is techno but mashed up with blimey! exquisitely fused together and a perfect package as a peak time floor stomping monster, what more could you ask for, bring it on!

playmobil is going very strong with already release number 9 out soon! after a string of very succesfull releases by liberto, mihalis safras, mark broom, glitches, sunchase and simone tavazzi and more we now present: monque. very dancefloor orientated minimal techno with a huge rocking melody. side a features the massive mihalis safras remixxx! another winner from the boys from playmobil!

oliver klein and harada (who is no stranger to micro.fon records) deliever some great techno with their fisherman original track,…. it inspired people to do great remixes as kolombo delievers a huge house remix sure to rock any floor with a wicked groove and tough bassline juergen driessen delievers a wonderfully grooving tech house remix whereas circuit breaker and dj emerson make their dubstep debut under the alter ego pronto one

we are proud to announce that no one less than greeks firstrate techno artist, axel karakasis, is featured with a huge track on technopassion number six. >buggy< is, as you d expect, a quite funky track that s packed with a ton of rhythm and cool synth lines with a oldschool feeling. another must have from axel that will please every crowd! on the flipside are two tracks from austrias uprising techno hero george le nagelaux. >steam engine< goes unstoppable forward like a steamroller. the baseline is really monstrous and accompanied by a catchy synthline. surely a number one prime time burner! >industrialisation< gots a proper base too and mystic sounds mixed with driving beats: dark, atmospheric and well donne. >industrialisation ep< is a solid, highly playable three tracker that no one should miss out!

another fresh face for the vastness we like to call minimal techno. a few months ago, javier logares tracks for bar 25s little sub-sister bar25digital went down a storm, so it was about time to introduce his music to the vinyl world of bar 25.
>elastic doll< is a cheeky bouncing piece of minimal techno with a marching bassline and a handful of dancing bleeps at all the right places. this elastic doll will lure you right into afterhour debauchery.
on >the wrong clue< javier dims the lights and sets a more haunting tone with an eerie synth-melody and bleeps, that slowly but surely crawl up your spine. seriously tripping stuff this is.

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

ultraphat stompin and spooky techno banger !!! prime time monster!! decks exclusive !! played by ascion ... repress

svetecs first solo release on the cannibal society! and what a burner! uncompromising hard techno with big beats, solid arrangement and basslines to die for. solid punishment of the mind with some chemical warfare aimed straight at the dancefloor. so take cover and hide, cause the cannibals are coming to hunt you down and theyre freaking hungry!

drumcode and perc trax regular kyle geiger is the next techno prodigy to be welcomed into the roots family by label boss ortin cam. >no release< is built around a massive breakdown - major dancefloor damage!

pong musiq presents sven schienhammer aka quantec! he grew up in the 80s and have been working on electronic music since 1995. he maintains a fruitful relationship with the styrax label and produced a plethora of dub tech gems over the recent years in labels like echocord, millions of moments, meanwhile, smallfish and francois ks wavetec label. he s been considered the natural successor of moritz von oswald and mark ernestus (basic channel). this 3rd ep on pong musiq records contains 4 absolutely massive tracks for all the dub-techno fans out there. sven proves his amazing talent and moves his sound to the next level. floating music with hovering chords and his characteristic kick-drum shuffle, shimmering keys edging into the mix for a truly tripped out excursion from the deepest recesses of berlins techno dub vault. it is very hard to capture the feeling arising from this great music in words.

manel ruiz aka sistema and javier orduna aka retronouveau started work together in 2008. they found deeps edayar to put together their passion of dub, detroit techno, idm, chicago sounds. this year is one of the duos most successful in upcoming productions in labels like overflow records, neue lärmklassiker and phonobox. in this release bring us 2 tracks, >ready to june< and a remix from the original. a tight compressed kick and atmospheric touch of dubby techno,is more of a pure techno track with an old school feeling to it. deeps edayar totally builds it to another level with sublime melodies and a additional bouncing bassline. they represent the modern soul of detroit with raw grooves and understated textures.

bapp jim? that means swing at its best! listen to this sound of the 20s. plattenbau-music 003 also offers a great electro-remix by the sexinvaders. the b-side is the typical minimal-techno-stuff by tonkberlin with a lil blubb and a remix from roberto mozza.

jesper dahlback is one of swedens leading djs/ producers with a lengthy back catalogue to his name, including co-production on two tiga albums, the hugg and pepp project with cousin john dahlback, and remixes for the likes of rex the dog, zoo brazil, arnaud rebotini of black strobe, thomas p heckman, robyn, the knife, and depeche mode. jesper has music in his genes, but it was the musical movements in detroit, berlin and london that inspired him to start producing techno, back in 1991 in his bedroom studio. completely hooked, by 1993 he d formed the stockholm-based globe studios together with peter benisch and adam beyer (following a chance meeting on the train to love parade?) and has worked there ever since. in 1996 jesper started the imprint, blank, mainly for his own material, and simultaneously launched joint venture dk with thomas krome - one of the first labels in sweden with a techno house crossover approach! in addition to making music for various techno labels around the world and working with planet rhythm, jesper met up with swiss-born stephan grieder who had just started the svek label. the duo started to experiment with different sounds, drawing on house musics roots, utilising vocals and acoustic instruments. jesper now describes his sound as >ranging between the analogue sounds of the roland sh101 and the precision mathematics of my computer. i m a researcher and developer of unheard sounds! since the founding of globe studios, i have always been looking for new ways to bend the rules and test the unknown. when i dj, i just play my own productions blending old classics with new unreleased demos.< a producer first and foremost, jespers dj dates find him weaving a soundscape of his productions, remixes and collaborations with new material at every gig, as well as musical elements and sounds worked through the set. one of his favourite current ventures is his part in jori hulkkonens acid symphony orchestra.

with releases on chris lakes rising music, benchmark and steve angellos size label, asher and neil build up to the summer with this two tracker of techno goodies on baroque... hottly tipped to be making a big noise this year, their blend of funky techno grooves work magic across the floors.

low-end blessed, heavyweight dub techno piece from the top drawer of a rather well known, but perhaps deliberately shy producer. hand stamped and individually sealed in a simple yet rather beautiful fashion, this is arresting steppers business, no doubt. the cut, performed with all the soul and depth you expect from dubplates & mastering, is super loud and as heavy as required for all man-sized playing out needs. observed through the vapour trails of the downbeat side to basic channel, the advanced sound system research of chain reaction and echospaces afterswell - consider this as something of a two-movement love letter to august berlin rhythm chambers - heavily aromatic, opiated but still trudging rhythm and grace - enveloping bass, heady atmosphere, excellent

clone classic cuts continues to dig in the crates to bring back forgotten or obscure records from the past! this is 3 tracks by da posse (produced by hula... one of the outthere brothers... and with maurice joshua, k fingers & martell). strings & its my life are chicagos take on detroit techno... a rare release that sounds like a early derrick may record (think the dance) but maybe slightly more straight forward (as one might expect from chicago). a rare piece in house and techno history since this is one of the rare examples of a record that doesnt show the clear difference between chicago and detroit in the late 80s. this record most likely got produced within 1 year after rhythm = rhythms legendary nude photo and strings of life releases (both 87 and this came out in 88). as extra bonus track we have the groove. a phat bass driven chicago acid track that still rocks it. another fine piece of powerful dance music history back in the spot light!

the third release on phonica records is a no-nonsense dancefloor burner from matt tolfrey and d. ramirez, with a stunning remix from lauhaus. >bounce to me< is an exquisitely stripped-back jack track, propelled along by clipped vocal samples, deep chord stabs and funked-up percussion - as the title suggests, its all about the bounce. thats really all you need to know: this piece of music has been built for the sole purpose of dancefloor devastation and will do the job every time. matt tolfrey is the boss of leftroom recordings and one of the uks most compelling young dj/producers, with releases on crosstown rebels and viva music among others. d. ramirez is of course the sheffield-based producer behind numerous hit tracks for labels like four:twenty and his own slave recordings. the flipside remix comes from underground hero lauhaus, a dutch producer whos made quite a name for himself with his muscular productions for labels like remote area and intacto. here he toughens and tightens tolfrey and ramirezs original >bounce to me< into a rolling techno groove, adding real drama and forward thrust with crisp hi-hats and stacatto percussion. the soundtrack to late summer has arrived. bounce!

phil kieran has been in the upper echelons of the electronic music game for more than a decade, but is only now releasing his debut album under his own name. known for rocking clubs and releasing a string of killer twelves, belfast-based phil has hooked up with german powerhouse cocoon in recent times. sven väths label is now about to release shh, a groundbreaking piece of work that will undoubtedly gain phil plaudits across the board. shh seems to not only reference every sound phil has ever loved in music, but is formulated in a completely fresh and futuristic way. listen carefully and you can detect elements of dub reggae, old hardcore like lfo, hip-hop, early 90s electronica such as autechre/black dog and other warp staples, as well as the futuristic techno that phil excels in. for the album phil went back to old sound lab recordings dating back to the 1950s and 60s. utilising some of these sounds in the initial construction, he built up tracks using a combination of old samples sourced from original and weird places and some live new instrumentation as well. there are live drums, some electric / acoustic/ bass guitar and live keyboard playing as well as some choice guest vocalists.

>realtime art< - that s how blackisbeautiful call their electronic music art. an analogue idea within the digital age. inspired by the aesthetics of analogue music devices, the first album of the dortmund-based producer team will be released in september via the upcoming cologne-based techno label 200. blackisbeautiful partnered up at the vrstck club in dortmund two years ago. they bonded through their deep connection to analogue art. residency atvrstck and a musical and friendly collaboration were to follow. both look back at long-term musicianship and life experience. while tim dicke paved his way into the electronic scene through being a drummer, bassist and soloartist in punk and hardcore bands and later on as dj, Ümit han quickly moved from djing to producing his own tracks. in 2006, Ümit won the remix contest to gabriel anandas >glücksmelodie< and also released tracks on karmarouge, meerestief, harthouse and other labels. blackisbeautiful created two tracks in real handicraft with alerion and purpur: mesmerizing and enthralling at the same time! music that invites you to dance and yet puts you to rest for a closer listen. attention to detail and experiment-happiness get you addicted to blackisbeautiful: occasional street recordings of sounds in everyday life and sampling of snap-shots run through their dynamic sound images.

*special white vinyl pressing for the first 500 copies only* part man / part machine hizatron takes berkane sol in a new acidic direction with the outstanding tune that is von glooperstein. atmospheric, refined, techy, funky and deranged are all accurate descriptions of this ever evolving masterclass in gloop. beautiful digi bells, crisp clicks and clacks and a monster lead line all combine to work even the most demanding dancefloor. this tune will mix with uk funky just as well as it does with techno and house. it features on the recent geiom fact magazine mix.

alex ridha aka boys noize is, along peers erol alkan and justice, part of a new mongrel breed of techno / electronica artist with a maverick bent and solid vision, beaming a myriad of influences from the past through a prism to create something fresh, new and exciting. founding his own imprint boysnoize records (bnr) in 2005 he achieved to establish his very own sound. alex released the first boys noize album “oi oi oi” in 2007 on bnr which featured febrile club favourites like “& down and “lava lava” and also more soulful techno tracks like “shine shine” or what many regard as one of his finest works, his remix of feist’s “my moon, my man”. official remixes for the likes of depeche mode, snoop dogg, justice, late of the pier, his latest work for royksopp, highly regarded dj mix compilations (bugged out! / i love techno) as well as productions for black eyed peas and canadian genius gonzales proved how versatile he could be. now boys noize presents his second longplayer as a lim.ed on vinyl instead of following the commercial path after the unexpected success of “oi oi oi”, boys noize passed on any big name featuring, the great pop approach or feeding trends. keeping it real, “power” starts where “oi oi oi” has ended and shows the freshest of electronica and techno music.

the word >detroit< is one that is used far too often in todayÆs techno realm. it seems that as soon as someone puts a pad over the top of a 4x4 kick drum they have the right to file their music under >detroit techno<. soà when tracks like this arrive in your inbox with no accompanying information, well itÆs a breath of fresh air to say the least. these four tracks by new boy mick welch truly capture the essence of detroit, bringing to mind the classic works by derrick may, kenny larkin and even hints of influences a little closer to home, b12, redcell, kirk degiorgio and the rest of the applied rhythmic technology crew for example. highly recommended.

already supported by nick curly, dan ghenacia, markius fix, robert dietz and more!
alex is back with his london home cinematic recordings - this time with a 4 track stormer! >north london cutz ep< is a homage to his inspirational north london neighborhood - where his infamous >rhythm tech< studio is based during the last couple of years - and he got it just right! he delivers a phat 4-tracker with plenty of moods to choose from!
on the a side >bellawatt< - a big room techno with a disco feel and a rumbling bassline on point with todays sound. a2 brings us >ductile< introducing a jackin chicago vibe with a more techno attitude on the beats and a pumping tribal groove on the subs. >this goes out to ron hardy he from chicago< belches the spoken word. funked up to the max! on the flip >route 277< is a warm tech house affair with a dub mood and a strong banging hihat beat and the last joint goes deep and techy with a hypnotic vocal and a haunting oriental melody, all summed up in a percussive jungle mood. overall a very strong and dj friendly release to stay in the box and a perfect follow up to alexs latest releases on arearemote, cecille and tuning spork earlier this year!

stunning new limited october missive - drawn from the well received new recession volume one mix cd. already making waves throughout thedubstep and techno communities, these tunes make the nifty stealth connection between well conceived and executed warehouse moves and thegrimey realities of the low end pressure in evidence here. one of the most futuristic twelves in an age - for fans of scuba - style innovation, slow house and deepest techno

throughout the past years, antonio has been steadily collaborating with luca bacchetti on all his past productions and remixes. anyone who has even the slightest interest in minimal / techno will know the famous tracks resulting from this collaboration: rolling brooklyn -trust - what ever or remixes as stop (bini martini) - crazy madness (poul ritch), its your time (planet funk). at the end of summer 2008, antonio decided to change and put out solo projects, using his experience and his technical skills as great support for this.

the brazilian hard techno tribe returns! this time its for the european connection to rock the house hard! brilliant style for the big rooms out there! raw!

you can see it on the news: techno is back, but for those who never left, techno is not a word that comes and goes, techno are forward thinking sounds that you cannot do in one minute with some libraries and cheap software.this brand new release from our factory shows exactly how techno should be done properly, in the interpretation of kike pravda, eric krakeroy and label owner oscar mulero as a remixer.main track, >fear is the enemy< has a direct approach, clean and driving drum programming grows and grows helped by shuffled 909 hats, leaving room for a razor sharp synth line that opens and closes filter in the most dynamic way you can imagine. just a few elements put together wise. oscar reinvents the original in a very similar way, but slowing the vibe a bit, adding more percussive details and elonging the structure, again the sound is clear , punchy and hard, as you like it.closing release, >jaque a la reina< its a 21st century acid track, modern, sharp in sound and agressive in low end, concrete claps, metal hatz and driving synths makes this one the perfect compliment for this stunning release.

supported by: dave clarke (who spins the tracks in heavy rotation during his weekly whitenoise radio show), speedy j, nitzer ebb, thomas p heckmann, felix kroecher, eric sneo, the advent and many more...

the model is no stranger to gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to the model. as a supporter of gigolo records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous gigolo adventure. but in the words of the late george harrison, >all things must pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
the model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: dark-techno-baroque. the sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. it also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the a-side >in the night<. in many ways this could be seen as a return to form for gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. to further consolidate the techno aesthetic look no further then >flex on the b-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by daft punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of djs today.
the >vampire funk ep< is the first release from the models forthcoming album on gigolo. the concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of the model. exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. like classic transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. the result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. as pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. as the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as i type and you read. so we are already part way there. the rest will unfold in the coming months.

naked lunch welcomes one of the biggest techno names of all times, non other than the space djz aka ben long and jamie bissmire - incl. the advent & industrialyzer remix.

flint kids are london based electronic music duo dave smith & daniel nolan. they began writing together in 2000 on an akai mpc 2000, s600, korg trinity and 303. years later, after having brought laptops, logic, ableton and other electronic goodies, it became clear that the sounds they were hearing in their heads were possible to recreate. their passion for so many different styles of music saved them from ever being pigeonholed, glitches & bleeps fuse with organic matter fired from a techno blunderbuss to create a pool of binary sputum that finds no home in any one genre. what may begin as a well earned candlelit soak in the tub of ambiance can quickly drain away as they pull the plug, leaving the listener cascading down a dank, jagged hole with only a rung less ladder made of plasticine.... not for the faint hearted!

nice price deal !!! the disco spaceship series continues at a pace with number 3 containing the club and dub mix of peter richards walking in the neon. with its classic line speeding through the cosmos under pinned by its tough electronic groove and dark italo synths.. this 12inch caused pandemonium when originally released in 1983 and is now incredibly hard to find. its prototype techno feel and space age lyrics are bound to win new fans today. lets go to another galaxy...

edit select is back and stronger than ever. two brand new tracks which have both been hammered by richie hawtin this year and picked up plays from adam beyer, josh wink, slam and more. as if thats not enough, uk techno don mark broom ommits his own interpretation of >beneath< on the flip. killer!

ricardo jefferson is a producer and dj based in manchester, england. the four tracks on this ep demonstrate a distinctive style. the roots of his sound are in funk, disco, space rock, prog rock, but he has melded them into a sound that is more than just the sum of these elements. this is funky, bass-heavy, trippy techno for the dance floor. a1 a brutal truth. this is a big tune that builds relentlessly. the track has an inclusive, celebrational, feel which simply invites everyone to lose it on the dance floor. 124bpm. a2 persons unknown. this tune doesn t have the relentless build of a brutal truth. instead, this is a tune to drop when everyone on the dancefloor is in the zone and locked into the groove. a finely crafted trip created with multiple delays skittering around the sound field, anchored by the funky bass heavy groove. 123 bpm. b1 the egg part one. a track employing a tight kick drum of differing weights to propel the groove, overlayed with a circular keyboard motif. on the off-beat, add the processed sound of someone hitting a metal sheet, and viola! - one aggressively funky dance floor bomb! 123 bpm. b2 god of the machine. this track has a simple 4x4 kick and handclap pattern pinning down a delicious oscillating bass line, under a classic descending four chord circular chord progression. off kilter ride cymbals give the track its backbone, and fluidity. ricocheting handclap delays add dimension. sly stone would be proud of this groove. now get on the dance floor and strut your stuff! 119 bpm. the cover shows a still image from the music video a brutal truth directed by ricardo jefferson and laura lee.

the four tracks are outstanding 21st century techno, an instant degiorgio classic with typically syncopated dance beats, beautiful chords and rhythms that create memorizing and energetic soundscape.

following up the more experimental >johnny gambit 01: the prodigal son< graphic novel/soundtrack (pure18lp), alan d. oldham a.k.a. dj t-1000 gets back to basics with the >blaster ep<, phase two of the pure sonik records restart.
>blaster< kicks off the proceedings. a dirty, tracky, and bitcrushed statement of intent, >blaster< is a 130 bpm love letter to all the hard techno fans in germany and spain who have kept the faith and supported dj t-1000s international dates all these years, and the definitive statement that pure sonik records is back!
on the b-side, oldham goes electro with >i rock shit everyday<, a dark, dirty, detroit electro-groove inspired by one of his all-time favorite detroit electro acts, ultradyne. the ep closer, the lo-fi >machines<, is the sound of your laptop, tv, and coffee maker conspiring against you in dial-up modem code. what happens when your microwave starts thinking it can cook better than you? you better watch out...
