GROWERS (DIRT CREW RMX)
12 Inch
01.12.09
the viennese djs and producers smacs & patrick kong transformed their studio into a grow room. >no more experiments!< says smacs, when being interrogated about specific preparations for gigs outside of the austrian capital. their critics say: >on the long run the move towards self catering and regional consumer awareness will lower the production output of s&p<. the critics are full of shit though, because the opposite is happening. the recording booths new dedication >gives (you) wings< as a globally known austrian marketing slogan states. >growers< simply became their new single theme. of course dirt crew is around handling business when things get dirty in the techno scene. but instead of cleaning up, the two berliners mash the dope up with their favorite flavors and create special blend of its own, which will probably make it into this years finals of the legendary grand cup. indoor or outdoor, this tune will work!

timeless dancefloor fire gets a timely seasonal release on this exclusive double 12 inch pack. its the first compilation of artists from the desolat family - and its a manifesto of sorts, showcasing the different facets of the desolat sound. these artists, in their own ways, unpack multiple meanings of house & techno to create unique tangents. munichs tini steps out with her debut release: a staggered, raw dance track representative of her electrifying, wired-up dj sets. its the first solo outing on desolat for studio guru martin buttrich: his sensitive manipulation of delicate sonic quicksand underpinned with an insistent beat. argentine muso guti drops his second release on desolat, contributing chipped down spatial melodies following his first 2x12inch on the label, las cosas que no se tocan. loco dice brings his hip hop roots via heavyweight bassline and disembodied groove to truly shake up the house and overturn expectations. shimmering swing is the thing for romanian duo livio & roby featuring george g as premiesku, enunciating their very own definition of dance. lastly, desolats african-italian man yaya develops his sound further - displaying his musical upbringing with a punchy effusive get-up-and-dance vibe. its a fine way to end the year - six glimmering tracks wrapped up on desolats very special 10th release!

emptyset is a bristol based production project formed by james ginzburg, aka ginz, boss of the multiverse network of labels and paul purgas a longstanding electronic dj/collector and curator of this years we can elude control compilation. their collective agenda has been exploring techno music’s diverse influences and compiling them to a studio template focused on tight production and detailed sound design. inspired by the city’s culture of bass lead production as well as the global resurgence of electronic music, the sound has been described as techno meets dubstep folded back onto techno again, a description which is perhaps the most insightful to date. the project owes credit to the classic releases of m-plant, sahko and chain reaction as well as more recent producers such as alva noto, deathprod and burial. emptyset acts as a research project connecting the ideas of a modern dancefloor with experimental approaches to music and its design.

no matter what sounds you profess to be your dance music of choice, chances are that at some point over the last five years, you will have gotten your rocks off to matt edwards aka radio slave. in that time matt has remixed countless tunes for an incredibly-wide selection of notable labels. to boot, his touring schedule must be almost painful. so it was with great pleasure that om was able to enlist his talents to compose a tune especially for our 15 year anniversary compilation. to cut straight to the chase, orchestrating maneuvers in the dark is a rhythmic deep tribal techno groove - obscure, dissident and crunchy - with a breakdown that dissolves into thin air - only to strangely and magnificently re-materialize into his funk-induced groove.

25.11.09
the groovers sound is the result of a lot of late nights, forged and crafted with utter devotion to creating a unique sound. all our influences were bought into the studio and from the tension between a love and knowledge of various musical styles and modes, of temperament and personality we found that it clicked. the result of this collaboration between finn campbell-notman and steve ferrand is ten track collection of songs from slow to mid to house tempos. each time we worked on a track or song we asked ourselves >is this a groovers track< and the only criteria in deciding if it was was >does it feel like one or not< this feel that we were searching for is: that bittersweet, syncopated and soulful one that we both love regardless of genre. our influences range from deep deep dancefloor house, early downtempo, latin soul, boogie, southern funk, and shimmering techno

detroit, 1993. the burden brothers, known for their octave one project and 430west record label, start a new sub label called direct beat. it was created to release the techno electro sounds of inner city detroit. in 1995 the label was in full effect and released music produced by friends such as tommy hamilton, keith tucker, mad mike banks, will web and them self.
now 15 years later we know that direct beat was one of the big influences on how electro and techno is today. together with underground resistance, axis, m-plant in detroit and some like minded people in europe and artists such as drexciya, aphex twin, autechre and dopplereffekt it changed the way people looked at techno... it broke away from the dominant 4/4 kick and brought back the funk and emotion that disappeared once house and techno became popular and mainstream music in the early 90s.
we are happy to bring back direct beat records by making some of its classics available for a new generation. this is a part of techno music history we may not forget about! especially in these days that people consume more and more of the format tracks. this shows that emotion, passion and energy creates much more then just a dj tool... it creates tracks that become part of peoples life! and not for just one or two months in your i-pod... but for the rest of your life in your record collection! timeless classic collection... must have!

>seleccion natural< is a project made by the cream of spanish techno, this four part work has seen the light on different labels and now its time for warm up.
oscar mulero delivers the original parts and version for this tune, reworked and revisited by the rest of the partners in crime: christian wunsch, exium and reeko, each one giving their own vision on the noises made by oscar.
original mix kicks off with broken rhythms, crunchy and industrial like, with a heavy synth line approaching till sweeping drones and abstract textures bring to an epic breakdown that will sure destroy more than one bass speaker. another energetic piece of intelligent dance floor techno.
wunschs work is more direct and 4x4 based, taking the synth line from the original and adding detroit flavoured stabs and sharp claps to make a massive techno tool.
exium offers a completely different vision, using the drones and textures as starring, plus arpeggiated synths and baroque percussions fills the arrangement. energy is the word for this remake.
closing release reekos version recreate the spirit of the original, with broken drums again, using the synths on a clever way, extending the arrangement longer on an epic development till the bass drum comes in after 3 minutes of metallic madness. the ultimate release of a series on the most eclectic way. absolute quality.

the first release on phonica white limited series is from tokyos iori. this young producers impressive work ranges from woozy ambient electronics to full-on club tracks. the common thread is a highly developed sense of texture and arrangement.a-side galaxy is simply lean, expertly crafted techno, led by a rolling bassline and crisp hi-hats, with hypnotic melody patterns skittering off the surface. its a trippy but accessible heads-down affair that has the depth and the bite to do damage at peak-time and in the after-hours alike. urge on the flipside is an even deeper, sub-heavy cut, an insistent, club-friendly groove swathed in burbling synth arpeggios and fx. despite being stripped-back, the sound design and sheer warmth of the production is incredible. the track really breathes.

mike minds only previous release, >acid machine<, has been tigas most played record since it was made. a full-time turbo employee, he has spent the past few years getting his brain around making techno, and continues to impress us with his output. his debut ep, >resonate<, is something of a departure for our label, and one we are very proud of.
its amazing to have this kind of music coming directly out of turbo hq, it nails a sound that we have always tried to cultivate. minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, and with just enough analog imperfection and warmth to it.
both of the remixers we chose represent different sounds in techno that have influenced mikes sound.
1: sophisticated italian groove*
giorgio gigli is an italian minimal-trance maestro, an incredibly modern renaissance man who is also a trained sommelier.** he is rising in the ranks and catching up in profile to his occasional production partner, donato dozzy. hopefully we will have more of his tracks on turbo soon.
2: m¦n¦m¦l
hobo is a fellow canadian best known for his excellent work on m¦nus. rumor has it, he borrowed richies quad-macro template file to finish the final version of this remix... whatever he did, his second effort came up huge, this mix is excellent.
enjoy!

after surprising belgium and the rest of the world with their >zoopah dupah< and >heads up< eps, sound of stereo is back with a new, fresh sound best described as >something you should hear for yourself<.
in the past few months sound of stereo has been all over the place. not only have they played every large festival and venue in belgium & holland, their tracks have also been picked up by big names such as bloody beetroots, steve aoki, mstrkrft, armand van helden, crookers, congorock, jokers of the scene and many, many more.
with the new >zipper ep< comes a more mature sound that proves that sound of stereo is more than just wobbly beats and funny lyrics. the ep contains 3 brand new tracks that will be presented at i love techno on the 24th of october. the official release is scheduled exactly one month later: on the 24th of november. dont hesitate and get them while they are hot!

12 Inch
18.11.09
support from the worlds finest djs and artists such as pier bucci, argenis brito, butane, maetrik, gregory shiff, ambivalent, and id, barem, and noah pred.
this four-track vinyl is an absolute must have for those who love to play a chugging, driving style of minimal and techno. produced by barcelonas pablo bolivar, >looking for a shape<, pushes the depth and groove that he is known for, but in a more aggressive yet subtle way. the original doesnt allow one to breath with constant changes in percussion and amazing flow. his >phase two< track will annihilate the speakers in clubs with deep bass and is a sharp, tightly wound percussive masterpiece.
the remixes offered are by monkey brothers, who take a very different turn with the track and offer a soft vocal and is perfect for the dance-floor as it delivers a strong pop for those later in the night moments. finally, the last track on the record is hidden recordings owner deepak sharma + dieter krauses interpretation of the original. they have created a more slowed down, druggy, groovier version of the original. its not quite as smooth as the original and thats a good thing as the extra glitch is great for those who need more punch in their sets. there is something in this release for all kinds of djs.

SPINDIZZY
12 Inch
18.11.09
luke slaters mote evolver label is not pulling any punches. having shaken the techno scene to its boots last month with the release of ortin cams no-holes-barred >carnage<, the label moves on to their funky 13th release.
the name cari lekebusch is synonymous with what has made techno the musical powerhouse that it has become. globally recognized as a founding force behind the swedish techno movement alongside the triumvirate of adam beyer, jesper dahlbäck and joel mull, lekebuschs distinctive musical style and creative integrity has graced leading label from drumcode to soma to harthouse and turbo and spawned a career that has maintained over nearly two decades.
spindizzy is a deftly crafted funked-up tech house track. constructed from a palette of harmonically aligned keys, bass and horns, its intensity comes from the measured way in which each element is given the space to breath its own energy into the mix. pacey but musical, subtle yet memorable, this is a standout record.
luke slater adding his bass sodden l.b dub corp twist to the track completes the package. deeply dubbed-out tribal rhythms take the mix on a more left-of centre path that winds through a busy soundscape of atmospheric acoustics that seem to breathe in deeply before being exhaled in a release of firing percussion.

you may not have heard so much from andre (aka &me) so far. instead of the flash and glitter associated with most of his producer colleagues, hes preferred to stay in the shadows, co-producing and ghost writing for artists like dj hell and terranova. now after putting out his first solo single on keinemusik, which was supported by all the key players (front room label boss jesse rose, luke solomon, gabriel ananda, danny tenaglia and dubfire plus many more) &me is finally ready to go public as they say. he may have taken some time to figure out his own style of blending techno and house music but now hes out theres really no escape. with a name like an attention deficit childs mantra its a wonder he stayed in so long. the on ep is an excursion into the type of techno dusted pulsating minimal house that has been so big for artists like luciano esse and arnaud le texier and which is heard on heavy rotation in berlin meccas like bar25. with a side on ever present digital squelches (reminiscent of a rolf harrris style wobble board) are laid over shakers, stripped-back beat and the familiar on vocal. its not hard to understand why tiefschwarz have been rinsing it for quite some time now as a huge afterhours groover. b side talking days, swimming in lush deep techno elements, weaves through more melodic territory but is no less infectious

nice price deal !!! intimacy waste no time in following up paul woolfords >false prophet ep< with another missive, this time from belfast duo timmy stewart& john mciver - collectively known as jet project. responsible for a steady stream of dancefloor moments which often combine a rare appreciation for dancefloor dynamics, engaging & provocative sample sources, and a knack for arrangement that maintains the energy. its not surprising to know that andrew weatherall is a fan. label head paul woolford first met the boys in belfast in 2003 and after many repeat visits to play at their residencies, the stiff kitten and shine, (both techno institutions), their bond was sealed. the title track from this ep takes a large part of its inspiration from a charles baudelaire recital and is hard evidence that jet project truly take their lead from nobody. on the flip, we march at dawn furthers the cause - and we are then taken on a ride by the in-form sian via his heart bound for hell reworking, which rebuilds the track and surges upwards with more pressure, capping off a killer new ep for all involved..
