One of the great European techno labels period. It is hard not to talk about it in the past tense with such a hugely important back catalogue. Early on it managed to perfectly balance waltzing in the unavoidably huge but welcome shadow of the major American cities without being totally slavish to their youthful legacies either. Quality European acts shared the limelight too with some of the most no nonsense techno/acid/trance 12"s and LP's around. Personal highlights are all the Clementine releases and Justin Berkovi's 12"s which he has never bettered - Terrace - Edge of Motion - Thomas Heckmann's 12"s - Miss Djax and DJ Rush trading some absolute slammers - you could go on.....The fact that it was also run by a female in an unfortunately all too male dominated scene made it even more of a label to cherish. Of course the wonderful thing is that most of these positive things can equally be said of the label now. Absolute respect!!

You can't pidgeon-hole it. You have the Chicago sounds of Mike Dearborn that got gradually harder until he left the label.

The smooth sounds of pioneers like Terrace (other monikers were not as smooth, more evil sounding!). Ismistik again very smooth, Like-A-Tim with freaked out time patterns and sounds, Acid Junkies for the 'blow the roof' 303 sounds and Claude Young with solid Detroit techno.

A forceful label of the 90s, greatly influential on the techno of today.
