with release nr. 11, luv shack records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality. luv011 is the split ep of the two up and coming electronic music duos manhooker and space echo. whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases. manhooker consists of the two berliners by choice tomasz guido switala and sebastian mavin magassouba. their first release appeared on ostgut ton s sublabel unterton and their second ep was recently released on german heavy hitters sonar kollektiv - a collab with ex new yorker snax, featuring a remix by justus köhnke.

the seventh episode of the based on misunderstanding series is true show-stopper: last summer the ultra hot duo manhooker(tomasz guiddo switala and sebastian mavin magassouba) digged itself together with paul bonomo aka snax (capatain comatose) in its studio to record with cloud 9 a veritable late summer hit. once their first 12inch on ostgut ton caused a burst of enthusiasm, the hype will be fuelled with this release. this is pop music at its best with lots of soul for the sophisticated dancefloor.

the third u-ton release enters the merry world of post-disco and proto-house, mirror ball fantasies, baby powder dreams and rays of sunshine. manhooker are guiddo (music) and mavin (vocals) who were brought to the attention of ostgut ton by nd_baumecker. wheels in motion and club anonymous both got the club remix treatment by rotciv (the rimshooters, mister mistery) who delivers clever and respectful dance floor adaptations without destroying their peppy pop appeal.

turbo recordings brings you a special 10-year anniversary repress of azari & iii’s classic self-titled debut album. limited pressing on transparent double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

turbo presents a vital new wave of top reworks of azari & iiis endlessly fertile catalog, featuring remixes by maceo plex, luca c, konrad black and locked groove.

torontonian quartet, azari & iii have announced their debut self-titled album on turbo recordings / loose lips records / modular. it follows the release of the single >hungry for the power<, which erupted a storm of awe on the underground music scene, and a collaborative track >stay here< with friendly fires in 2010. the record is set to become the sound of a dystopian summer with their innately brooding beat and sordid-pop edge.
azari & iiis unique blend of moody electronica, dark yet hooky vocal choruses and analog-thick rhythms has earned them a hardcore following and sees this album as one of the most-anticipated in the calendar. the four-piece, consisting of producer/musicians dinamo azari and alixander iii with vocalists fritz helder and starving yet full, have crafted a defining sound that relishes in its references while maintaining a future perspective.
from the velvety refrains of >reckless with your love< through to the creeping melancholy of >manhooker< and the unhinged technopera of >undecided<, their album possesses an individual classic-future feel, with trademark lush synthesizations, biting soulful choruss and ominous overtones.
double heavyweight 180gr vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.
