Gadgets' fans were waiting for it for a long time : here is the new album !! Maybe a little bit disappointing at the first time, "on earth" shows all its magnificence after several listening. Those who wanted some dancefloor bombs will be left wanting more because the more powerful track is the great long-player "Bon Voyage" already published on... read more

On the side A, The Bikini Machine (Forte) deliver a techno "Crazy Girls Teatron mix" dedicated to the dancefloor : driving synth bass arpeggios, vocals perfectly repeated, killer strings... a future hit for sure... read more

After a previous release on Sender in 1999 (and also another one on International Deejay Gigolos), the female producer from Berlin called k.lakizz is back with this long-player entitled "silverstar bar". Dark, quiet and melancholic, this minimal electro / techno track hypnotises the listener during 10 minutes. The other side is done by... read more

Do we need to introduce once again Eon, author of classic pieces on Trelik, Ifach, Electron Industries and of the 1992 monster hit "Spice" on Vynil Solution ? Rarely seen these days, this semi-legend comes back in 2002 with a brand new album, "Sums Of Parts", an expected second opus in a ten years musical career to be released in June. To hold,... read more

Puberty Love are two people from New-York : John Langdon and Katya Casio. They appear for the first time on the German label with "X-Ray Eyes", a nice tune that fits perfectly into the current 80's electro pop revival. And that's why this EP gathers together other artists addicted to this style. Savas Pascalidis for instance (no surprise !) who... read more

Soul Designer aka Fabrice Lig is well-known for his release on Kms, but for us, we remember a lot of nice tracks on many labels such as Clone ("we still kill the old way"). Nowadays everybody plays boring 80's but Fabrice Lig still believe in soulful techno close to the original Detroit sound. "sweet harmony" is the right one : the perfect mix-up... read more

Such a terrific release !! True to the original spirit of the Deluxe series, this third part gathers together once again Decomplex masterminds and some of the actual hard techno sound defenders. No need to say this release is no mood for joking! Combining acidline and groovy beats, Andreas Kremer and Harald Klotzberg, on A side, surprise with... read more

Swiss label Superbra gives us another hi-quality release by Leandro Gamez, and he keeps on getting better and better. An excellent EP consisting of 4 top production tech house tunes. '2 Sharks' (A1) - it's amazing how he combines fat synth basslines with delayed & filtered female vocals. A2 is 'Shut Down', a beautiful conga driven track with some... read more

With seven productions, this respectable house based in Glasgow has made a name as a talents pioneer ! Total Science, Q Project or Future Beat Alliance witness of the broad-mindedness of Emoticon, a label created one year ago by the short of electronica Tom Churchill. Following the way of Warp records at its starts, the young structure specialized... read more

Last year "Kernkraft" ruled the world, today Splank (half of Zombie Nation) build Dekathlon records to show his own vision of electro. The fake ep contains 5 tracks of electro pop including a version of Steril robotic and harrowing as we like ! The Splank's remix is up to be a huge anthem : uptempo ' rhythm a little bit trancey, a loud & noisy synth (sounds like the Big Babou of Garnier) and the essential pop voice... My favourite and definitely a summer hit !
