mowar has reached its 10th release! this release heads into a darker direction with four solid and mental techno movers. searle is a new name to join the mowar ranks, but his sounds are pure, raw with a pinch of dark ambience. the record opens with the title track mind transfer, which brings a raw oldskool 808 feel layered with hypnotic basic channel-like chords and a subtle but most effective acid line. modern love s claro intellecto on remix duty turns the track into a slow moving warehouse monster, throbbing its way to a drugged chicago-esque jacking feel yet retaining the original darkness of mind transfer. on the flipside succubus lives up to its ominous title. this track is a dark hypnotic affair with fierce kickdrums piercing through an obscure sound palette of eerie pads and deep basses. razor sharp modulated noise then invades the whole thing turning the track into a punishing dark workout. finally unauthorized brings a more edgy and experimental sound to the whole, starting of with a dubby bassline and graveyard shift pads, but once the piercing hi-hats kick in, the track shifts to straightforward almost cristian vogel-like mental techno. by the way… searle is a new moniker of mowar frontman franco cangelli.

magic !! detroits theo parrish with a hypnotic remix !! flipside with a kompleks remix

out of an 8.8 earthquake, riots and severe illness comes one of the most joyful records of the year. brian gibbs aka echo park has had a colourful life to say the least, living and making music in l.a., tokyo, madrid, mexico city and now santiago, chile where he lives with his young family. previously a producer of dark hip hop and dub, a series of disasters made him confront mortality and decide it was time to make the music that is closest to his heart: luscious, sunshine-infused electro-funk full of laid back attitude and real songs. skream has always been a lover of disco, boogie and electro – as anyone who has heard one of his specialist sets or his slick n sleazy remix of chromeo will know. it took just one hearing of brians first echo park tracks via a mutual friend to snap them up for disfigured dubz. in fact he has chosen echo park for the first full album on the label… but first comes this killer single, a shmoooove bit of vocoder funk that sets the tone for echo parks twin obsessions with technology and romance. bundled with it are a gutbusting ravemonster of a rework by 12th planet & flinch that somehow still keeps the soul of the track intact, and jon convex taking it way underground with a deeper-than-deep analogue techno version. there is something for everyone here and this is just the beginning.

behind nomaton hides one of uppsalas true techno veterans. erik möller made himself a global name in the beginning of 2000 as the stripped down house musics champion with releases on labels including force tracks and sub static. he has played all over the world - from ibiza to tbilisi, and the audience at the legendary berlin clubs ostgut and watergate has been able to dance to his live sets. as unai his subtle technopop was hailed by all sorts of camps: from new york times to the wire, from house-djs to to pop connoisseurs. as he now comes forward with a new name, it is very much a return to roots. with nomaton he takes us on a trip to the dark heart of techno. a heavy-bass thumping heart full of dirty basslines, grinding rhythms and ecstatic minimalism.

if you will permit me to get a little honors english on yall, classical scholar sir richard livingstone once stated that >our danger is not too few, but too many options ... to be puzzled by innumerable alternatives.< say what? well, take flo ridas predicament on new david guetta single where dem girls at: upon stepping into the club, so many fly females catch his eye simultaneously that he finds himself incapable of deciding where to begin. as hes struggling to resolve this deadlock over the veteran djs stark synths and four-on-the-floor percussion, an especially alluring specimen swoops in to make the decision for him - not only is she gonna kick it with him, but shell bring her equally fly friends along for the ride. playing the woman in question, young money heavy-hitter nicki minaj attacks the beat as only she can, dropping what may well be her most off-the-wall guest 16 since monster. so, readers, this dancefloor-scorcher + remixes on this vinyl will whet your appetite for more body-moving bangers, no doubt about that

after releasing the excellent >wormhole< on japan excursion joint 3, the most talented stefny gives us her debut solo archipel 12 inch, >echinodon<, featuring remixes from bruno pronsato and isomer transition.
this package, by all means, is set to infinitely clutch and grab ahold of many a mind. >echninodon< is wonderfully fanged, each maxilla locked and loaded, ready to capture the entirety of the minds resources and set it into intricate motion. it possesses a hypnotic prowess of such a level which makes it difficult if not impossible to shift ones attention away from it. if lucid dreaming is possible while one is awake, waking dreams within wakefulness, this is sure to cause just such a condition to arise, leading to deliciously formed headscapes where every scene is endlessly novel and created out of the finest of mental interior brushstrokes and every individual shade and colour is endless in its depth.

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!
