Like Anthony Rother, Laurent Boudic manages two musical careers together. The one ambient under X2 Proton moniker, the other electrowave under Növö name. Like Anthony Rother, this sympathetic thirty years old or so artist has been lulled by naive but so major Kraftwerk, Front 242 and Neu melodies when he was young. At last like Anthony Rother,... read more

Brand new CD by Miss Kittin without any Gigolo track (except Der Zyklus) nor any 80's influence! It can be disappointing for the young fans but not for those who are used to listen to her DJ sets. Radio Caroline (first UK pirate radio and first name of the electro diva) is not the average kind of mixed CD, it's a personal & quiet selection driven... read more

This fourth chapter on Deluxe series once again appeals to Decomplex main artists, label owner in the lead, raised by incomparable Andreas Kremer for a extremely powerful "Taschenmuschi". In a harder register, Phil Davis offers a hammering of bass with "Stalker", a track obviously destined to underground and big warehouses. At last, Multitude punctuates this efficient sampler with dark, hypnotic and progressive techno thanks to "Syncinc", no doubt one of the best cuts of the 12''. From monotone to rough music, "Deluxe Part Four" will satisfy every tastes.

Epidemic Elements are DimDJ and DJ PiCi, well known Greek DJs / producers who appear on their own label with the second release. In fact, this is the co-operation with Lego J (Tekkie), and the result is a beautiful 4-track record. A blend of Detroit techno and minimal house with a great outcome. From the oldschool electro / tech aura of 'Guararre'... read more

Who goes piano, goes sano! Despite two years of existence, UK label from cute Miss Parker only displays three releases to its speedometer. Yet, we won't complain because of the incredible quality of each production (Freaky Bitches with Dj Godfather and Chaotic State from ex Panic Trax)! Written and produced by Andrea herself and her fellow partner... read more

Latest creation from Andreas Kremer, Basicbeachseries might sound to you a little less rude than other Working Vinyl and Lifeform labels. And you'll be right. Cause as noticed on the 12'' title, this new structure should welcome "softest" tracks from the German artist, please understand tech' house style cuts but always with dancefloor spirit like... read more

Neither ambient nor chill out but maybe both styles at the same. This new album from well known Anthony Rother is a truly UFO on German's discography and will obviously surprise more than it could disappoint fans of the master that might have expected Psi49net label owner in a long electro format. Moreover, this new opus is a pure jewel and this... read more

This new EP is done by the founders of Resonant label: Francesco Fiore and Lorenzo Contarini aka Ployd. On this fourth "indoor series" we find three ultra pumpin' techno tracks. With Ployd no surprise: the whole sound is perfect. Rhythms, percussions & massive basslines are very driving while the various sounds are never aggressive. On the... read more

After Mr. Lovelace, here are other Danish producers based in Copenhagen who appear on Lasergun. Originally "Me so horny" was written for the club called "a Baal Bar", in order to be played every Saturday nights. A little bit oldschool & sexy and especially very funky, this track quickly became a local hit and it is now broadcast world-wide. The other titles ("85", "Weird science" et "robotech") are evolving between electro and techno and they use retro / 80's sounds or robotic voices. The typical sound of German labels such as Lasergun or Gigolo.

Tim Wright with his second Tube Jerk LP on Sativae. He's been producing for some time now and done some remixes for the famous F Comm and Novamute labels, among other projects. 'Shift' LP is an extremely interesting mixture of UK garage rhythm, Garnier-like basslines, acid parts, heavenly string pads, vocoder voices and all sorts of squeaks and... read more

Three years after its first compilation, here is the second Dessous "best of" that is now released as a double CD. The first part is a selection done by the German imprint's boss himself: Steve Bug. It's composed of 10 house tracks - deep & minimal, most of the time pumpin' – produced by Vincenzo (Charles Webster rmx), Gamat 3000 (Joshua rmx),... read more

Truly excellent release on Jamie Anderson's label. Behind the initials are well known Belgian DJ & producer Stanny Franssen and his friend Vincent Bowens and this is their third cooperation so far. Let's start with the B side and 'Visibility', a great tech house tune, with Stanny's already famous use of filters in his breaks, but this time with... read more
