One more Millsart's release on Axis. Jeff Mills goes deep, in a different way to his hard techno style on decks. Drums stay unusually behind his jazzy keyboard. A LP obviously influenced by jazz, the nine tracks (like old UR stuff) disclose an other side Jeff Mills. Check his website, an another piece of art with a live mix bonus at Liquid Room !

The hype is ... Michael Jackson !! One more 80's bootleg to rock the dancefloor. The nevrotic vocal of classic Detroit Grand Pu Bahs (sandwiches) singing on BillyJean aka Michael "sample" Jackson. Nice release, shake your body !

Thanks to Submania's new release, Düsseldorf label owner Andy Vaz explores once again the minimalism side of techno. A chill out trip in a deeper melodic step. A two cuts EP very hypnotizing. Interesting as usual !!

We informed you about this some weeks ago : G-Force Records label is now dead and it was mutated into GFR. Label manager Mikael Persson called on Daniel Grönlund, a Sweden artist from Boras, to produce the first GFR EP. The sound is strong and groovy on the side A first track, remembering Marco Carola for example. On the side B, it is darker and always very efficient, like productions by Adam Beyer or Oliver Ho. So, we hope the next release will be as great as this one !

Stewart walker is known worldwide with his "Stabiles" LP. He comes back with the project Thx4 (made with Theorem, on Ritchie Hawtin's label : Minus). 4 tracks, Basic Channel school, the fine electro rhythm of S. Walker spins round with Theorem's synthetic groove. Deep techno at its best.

Disco 80's influences for Dima, Techno-House spirit for Oxia. But the best version comes from Heinrich Müller ! A very spacey "Fadin'away" electro remix to bring The Hacker's "Mélodies en sous sol" L.P. hit on a new level ! Goodlife, good taste !

Corrado Izzo, one of the Gadgets members, was working at Neuton, the record distributor based in Frankfurt. He probably listened to many, many productions to make such great tracks. And one more time, this minimal sound coming from Germany is absolutely perfect ! Mille Plateaux, Profan or Background fans : get this record !!!

Strat was probably influenced by Robert Hood when he made the track called "TTSR". And the result is very close to his US master ! "La Menace" is a powerful dancefloor killer with very big sound ! At last, "Plate" is both heavy in its rhythm and dark thanks to its strings... A perfect EP by our french friend Strat !!
