The 13th release of the German label is brought by its manager : Benno Blome aka weltZwei. On the side A, he's using Thomas Schaeben's voice to revisit his "Auf Empfang" title originally produced in 2000. This time, lyrics are in English and the main sounds come from an Atari ST computer. The result is both minimal and chip as well as the two loops introducing "On Standby". On the side B, Benno Blome is accompanied by Matthias Klein : minimal and original techno again but more funky and mixing synth and noisy sounds. Check it on Sender web site.

After an excellent 7th release, Rino treats us with one more of a kind. It seems this record is little softer than the previous one, but don't be fooled, it works just as fine. Four greatly produced tracks, with Rino's trademark funky basslines. Rolling rhythm, driving chords and killer breaks - tech house at its best. There's also one loop, three tracks are loop ended - ideal for 3 deck mixing. This is 8th of 10 records to be released under this label, so hurry up and get a copy now.

Despite a dj career started in 1989 and a couple of productions on Nova Zembla and Casanova Recordings, Break 3000 stays unfortunately as a unknown artist here in France. No doubt with this new EP on its very own Meuse Muzique label located in Maastricht, will help Peter Gijselaers to emerge from obscurity. Inspired by I-F and Legowelt retro disco... read more

German hard techno leader changes his musical trademark ! After having released some of his hottest productions on Purenoise, Decomplex or Lifeform, the well known producer strikes back with a brand-new EP of fine electronic on Patrick Hollinger & Rejine Petrifke's label. While progressive and mental longplayer "Portal" seems to be focused on industrial sound, "User", based on oppressive drums, turns into minimalism in a E-Com style and "Naked" revives cold techno thanks to the use of distorted vocals. A dark, hypnotic and essential 12'' !
