Following his success on PRMT046, here we have a DJ & a producer from Madrid, with a similar style on this one. Percussion is the key - infectious rhythms and lots of action characterise all 4 tracks. Great dj tools. Picks : Stolen breakfast/ Check the feel. [Watch out for his forthcoming remix on Cristian Varela's Pains EP (PRMT053)].

Metro area aka Morgan Geist releases an incredible tune on his own label Environ. Minimal drum, lovely synth and few electro-dub bleeps. The presence of guests (flute, guitar, rhodes) turns the track in a moody jazz experience. A future classic, just put it with Isolée "Beau mot plage" in your fly-case.

Here is the first EP of this Neapolitan artist (yeah, another one !!) on the label of his friends Random / Noize. This DJ & producer is an active member of the Naples' underground hip hop, house and techno scene for many years and that's probably why these four pumpin' groovy or even deep tracks are great... Remember Danilo Vigorito's name and watch for his next releases on Informale and on a new label called Frozen... we won't be surprised if Danilo V. will get same success as his Italian compatriots !

It's the kind of record that makes you wanna move to Germany !! With this compilation, we can realize how important is Kanzleramt in the Techno scene. We find on the first record great artists (Christian Morgenstern, Samuel L.Session, Christian Borée, Diego, Dj Slip, Alexander Kowalski) and of course some well-known and powerful techno hits : "Subway" by Richard Bartz, "Birds of Pressure" by Heiko Laux or "Feiern" by Johannes Heil. The second record is full of high-quality remixs. This record is esential. Just enjoy it !!

Aie, aie, aie Caramba !!! A side : Latino-house and funky rhythms with guacamole nappage of classic Claude François's hit "Même si tu revenais..." featuring Wicked Lester, an incredible team of producers from Canada. B-side : Puertorican hip-hop from label owner Freddie Fresh and his faithful mariachis Melendez & Benitez-grau. Que bueno !!!

Just a few words to remind you of the release of the first album / compilation of Technasia. All we can say is that it contains all their hits !! You won't regret your purchase : with this record, you will discover again their best tracks (my favourites are " Crosswalk " & " The Awakening ") and also discover their new track " Evergreen "... Enjoy it !!

A three cuts EP from Trance to experimental. As a prolific producer on Taksi and Tritone, German Paul Brtschitsch slows down the usual hard techno rhythm of Frisbee Rec. before its awaited and upcoming album.

First solo EP by Crowdpleaser, Geneva' artist, already member of //copy// (Ural 13 Diktators remix on MG 15). Obviously influence by Gigolo, 4 tracks of groovy electro-techno : Moroder' bassline, cutted vocal loop and lo-fi rhythm. The more crazy track is deep techno, Basic Channel' school, without kick and with a chaotic' pop melody... Magic !

The seventh release of the German label Lasergun is composed of four remixes of the "Robot is systematic" title by Richard Bartz (who didn't produced any track for a long time, his comeback is very appreciated !), Savas Pascalidis, Ural 13 Diktators and John Selway. All the four versions are simply perfect and for sure, they will make you feel happy... Check audio samples and Buy it !

A kind of mix between Terrence Fixmer and Woody McBride styles. This new Hard techno product really sounds like a Communiqué record ! ! ! After successful releases on Force Inc or Bpitch Control, Rob Acid under Pumgun Pro pseudo hits us again with three freakin' acid techno cuts ! Fat beats and TB 303 are back on Düsseldorf famous label. Be careful, make sure you won't miss limited edition Holz 48.2 bonus with two monsters tracks.

Stefan Riesend invited Tom Clark to release the eleventh record of his label. This time, the sound of the four great tracks is German, minimal or deep, somewhere between labels like Bpitch Control and Poker Flat (on which Tom Clarke already produced some tracks). But no surprise : this artist is based in Berlin... We got our membership, and what about you ?!
