New record for this Swiss label is made by two guys who have about sixty releases behind them so far, so their experience is without a question. This EP could be split into two parts - techno & tech house / Detroit. Info side is full-on pure techno, worthy of being on Jeff Mills' set. B1 - 'Belissima' - clean production, straight-in-your-face... read more

As dj Surgeon and James Ruskin, Genaro Le Fosse is one those great producers who make strong and innovative techno. On the A side, "Cabron" is a drivin' techno tune, tribal & sexy. On the B side, "Mission Lust" comes back to 90's with a dark ravy synth, sexual female voice and a strong uptempo rhythm : this track will make the crowd really crazy. Don't miss this 12" !

If you don't own this record or if you didn't hear it yet, you are to be pitied! First of all because this is the third release on Monotone Record, Larry McCormick's prestigious label that showed constant quality since its first output in 2001. Then because "Pledge Your Allegiance" signs the great return of Dynamix II, legendary duo formed by... read more

Back on his own label with a bit different sound than the previous record. I suppose we could call it deep tech house 'cause it has both percussive elements and deep house drive. The picks are A2 & B2 tracks - nice, driving & groovy, real dancefloor smashers. Fine and interesting combination which can not be found anywhere else at the moment. Well worth of checking out. Listen to the samples on Backbone Digital website !

First release on Tension records (Kirlian aka Abe Duque) for this Colombian producer living in Barcelona (like many electronic artists). "Lluvia de verano" is a dark landscape with a mystic female voice and stressed acid synth (remembering Robert Hood 'early works)... impressive ! On the flip side, "el patròn" sounds like Kirlian : drivin' & percussive techno, a strong bassline, ready to rock the floor. Don't miss Mister Dehoyos in the future... Highly recommended !

Fallen into disuse in 1998, Acid music is on the point to return in strength! Positive proofs that this musical genre prompts renewed interest this year are Drop Bass Networks strike back into releases while Woody Mc Bride multiplies 12'' on labels such as Bush, Acid Tracks or Mintek. Making the most of the opportunity, Rob Acid, who never... read more

After recharging their batteries, Underworld are ready to fly again. Three years after "Beaucoup fish" - and without Darren Emerson - the duo is back. "Hundred Days Off" is most varied than the previous albums. It starts with the excellent "Mo move" and since the second track - "Two tone months" - the machine gets crazy thanks to a pumpin'... read more

Inbeatwin comes from Grenoble / France but he doesn't even play 80's electro... Minimal house, deep techno, whatever, this artist has an unique style. The long player of the first side runs shuffle techno, a great landscape close to Gadgets and Stewart Walker. On the flip side "Pulp playin " is a great floorfiller : vocal loop, monotone bassline and a pumpin' rhythm... Ready to warm the crowd.
