played by: karotte, mathias kaden, sebo k, stefan goldmann... franklins early musical roots began with a taiwan drumset and a hohner organ. after some training years under the influence of metal, jazz, 70sprog/rock and live perfomances as a versatile drummer his transition to electronic music began with an amiga 500 computer. the trackermusic of this machine lead him to the early techno music of the 90s and early production experiments in his fathers home studio. first releases followed in 1995 to 96 on the label fusion records (w/ 303 nation member, patrick vauillaume). later he released as tichy on various frankfurt techno labels until at the end of the 90s his search for inspiration brought him to a very experimental production phase without the 4 to the floor presetting. from this he developed his distinctive trademark sound with straight grooves and frisky sound design. meanwhile franklin was gaining more international recognition with releases on well-known labels such as trapez ltd, karmarouge noir, einmaleins musik and treibstoff. his singles entered the charts of the german groove magazine, german dance charts and the charts of djs worldwide. after his last release on resopal red he is coming up with his debut on leena music.

the talented foundsound-dj ben parris has been seen the last few years releasing tracks and remixes on labels like microcosm and igloo. >toga party< and >pivolganarkotik< and two funky fresh organic-sounding minimal tracks that in a great way complements the flipside by swedish berlin-resident fredrik larsson aka kroppssprak. he delivers the building monster of a track which is >kawo< and the clubbier >ufsi, ufsi<. kawo has been tested to great delight in clubs worldwide in the recent time and received some amazing floor-reactions

a standout track for us is >fantasy<, which was never released on 12inch but despite this has been a djs favourite for over 30 years. the lush layering of instruments and percussion create a track that sounds as fresh today as it would have in 1975. after citing this as one of their favorite records of all time, faze action took this track and have given us some excellent edits which add extra dancefloor elements while keeping the integrity of the original

after his last years hit fruchtalarm/city rush boogie dub on farside records, its time for another herb lf solo joint. sunliner takes you on a trip and has a deep melancholic mood with a perfect catchy piano hook. when the reese bassline drops, sunliner takes one step further and creates big dancefloor pressure. expect a very special moment when you play out this wonderful piece of music in the club. dub is the word in down to the sound?. some cheeba cheeba business, a smokers riddim, delayed stabs and a killer bassline is enough for this dubby deep tune. ring the alarm! one of the most groovin 4 to the floor trax that has seen the light recently is named shake!. with a few dubby dancehall snippets and a slightly metallic sounding synth, herb lf adds live percussions from tim friesenhagen. even the sound of a lighter (!!) is used as a rhythmic element. get your groove on this perfect percussive atmospheric tool. shake it, baby!

2008 is going to be the year that joker blows up. hes already been causing a stir with releases such as the recent anthem gully brook lane on soul jazz & last years sell out stuck in the system on earwax as well as remixes for smd i believe & roni size dont hold back (...that frankly, make the originals look weak!). its high time now for joker to unleash his finest works yet on his own brand new bristol based imprint kapsize. kapsize 001 launches with a double aside - both tracks showcase jokers insanely genius production style, a kind of melting pot of influences that take the best elements of neptunes, dirty south & west coast hip hop instrumentals - big !

infadels are back. two years on from their acclaimed debut, we are not the infadels, new album, universe in reverse is the bands youth produced crossover masterpiece. bursting with energy, huge guitar melodies and hooks in abundance, it is, in short, the definitive infadels record and potentially a huge crossover album. universe in reverse is an album packed with soon to be hits reflecting the bands heady year and a half on tour, where they were able to discover the sounds that they would grow to become a re imagining of the new infadels sound. produced by youth (verve, guns n roses), and perfected by the mixing skills of ever dependable cenzo townshend (bloc party, pigeon detectives, reverend and the makers), this is a dynamic ten tracker of lyrically insightful everyman pop.

played by sebo k, karotte... layo and bushwacka! are equally at home turning out summery housey affairs as they are peak time stormers, and >now is the time / the time was then definitely fits into the latter category. a double header, the loose concept behind the release is to represent the sound of the dancefloor now versus the sound from a few years ago. >now is the time< has its feet placed firmly in 2008 - a crisp, clean techno bassline, topped by hand claps, snatches of breathy female vocal, and full of an irresistible array rattles, whooshes and other indefinable sounds that the duo seem to pull from the depths of their imaginations. it breaks with some simple electronic sounding chords and a stirring martin luther king sample that makes this record so memorable. >the time was then< is based around that same sample, but gives a cheeky nod to a few years back, with a bassline and keys that wouldnt have sounded out of place on their seminal ‘night works’ album. it never goes too far towards nostalgia, though, and either would rip up a late night dancefloor

knock knock, bang bang! minimal neo tech drama is just kicking your doors off! 5.4,3.2,1 action! our hommie jurek przezdziecki from warsaw, (poland) - is making his debut on boshke beats records and you better watch it, feel it and be into it! (we will not give you here a death threat ,but we were close to-please admit it) 10 years of producing under the different projects like big wigs, epi centrum and mass turbo! and lately you could taste of his sound on recently released maxis on whirlpoolsex, bretzel, jacek sienkiewiczs recognition and living records and here is his first boshke debut. we highly suggest to watch this interesting producer closer! he manages to seamlessly lead us through his special and unique fusion between minimal techno and neo trance, dressed with his unique sonic synthesises and topped with a top class sound production. on the b-side is a contemporary re-work of the sink master by maestro robert babicz (aka rob acid), speiced with the dancefloor power and a big roberts character this remix destined for all the modern contemproary djs on the planet earth!.

on the remix front we have three &#128,&#152,master blenders onboard. the first remix is by word of mouth, aka graham lord, one half of top house act audiowhores. second we have scope, aka ric mcclelland has worked his magic on the vocal to superb effect and created one of the coolest tracks you &#128,&#153,ll hear all summer. last but not least we have glide and swerve, formed 3 years ago by ivan clarke and simon glantz, have turned in a stunning chill mix perfect for ibiza&#128,&#153,s legendary sunsets.

would you have remembered? with the debut album of the 32-year-old warszawian, téchnè, cocoon recordings has released the first artist album ever on the label six years ago, at that from an artist who was not well-known to a large extent back then. this has changed fundamentally: with his releases on his own label recognition as well as on trapez or klang elektronik, sienkiewicz belongs to those ambassadors of modern individual electronic dance music who set benchmarks. this is also his demand with the two tracks on “my little place”, meanwhile his fourth release for cocoon recordings. while the over-heated my little place re-interprets the credo of dub with polyrhythmic elements, delays and echo in an somehow unfamiliar way, “com-bat” carries on sienkiewicz tradition of putting hypnotic sound evocations close to the ten-minute mark. with intensive melancholy, the percussive bass rotor of com-bat creates a bewitched hymn for sunrises somewhere in between the urban desperation of detroit, the atmosphere of after hours and balearic bliss

japanese artist kaitaro started his career as a hip-hop-dj at the age of 17. five years ago he started to produce minimal house music and released several records as kai on labels like alphahouse, sud elektronik and audio808

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

5 years ago back in february 2003 in montmartre (paris, france) pedro winter aka busy p created the ed banger record label. most of the artists have been discovered by pedro, and often live near the labels office. over the past 2 years the rise of the label has been something like a phenomenon, with all artists being on a worldwide tour (dj and/or live) at sold out venues, each appearance always long awaited and celebrated like a the coming of the messiah by thousands of raging kids from each and every part of the world. drawing on the street energy of hip hop, rocks explosion and hypnotic compression of techno music, but remaining open to all other influences, the sound of the label, mostly electronic and saturated, has become a trademark, registered worldwide. justice, busy p, uffie, feadz, mehdi, dsl, oizo, vicarious bliss, mr flash, krazy baldhead, sebastian and so: mes post cartoon imaging are practically pop culture icons, especially within the new web media (myspace, blogs, forums) where ed banger remain one of the unbeatable masters of its use. this third volume of the labels own compilation features 12 new tracks and mixes.
