Henrik B - Manwolf
Mar 16, 2009
Oh my lord! Flip side is a minimal tune which is also good but Manwolf is the deal in here. Incredibly powerful track with maximum dancefloor devastation. Very fierce! Horror sounds and heavy Chris Liebing like bassline (probably that's why the remixes was done by him on the next release). This one is a perfect choise in a dryer set. Excellent tune might even gonna have to turn the volume down on your gear a bit. The track is very loud! Watch out for it!

Very consistent super hard working dj/producer from the hard techno scene. Truly emerged as international next generation techno talent celebrated world wide. His production skills and his very own sophisticated dark and mysterious approach to music arguably puts him one step ahead from others. Showing a certain ammount of sensitivity towards club techno and influences from hip-hop, breakbeat and so on. Without a dought there's a lot more to come in the future and definetely one of the hottest dj/producer/remixer to look out for.
Sven Wittekind - Seven Deadly Sins

Mad! :) He's done it again! Very impressive work by him. Althou I'm into less bpm-s then his crazy as hell records, he's making me believe that there is! a really fast and still stylish, heavy, well produced, forward thinking edge to it. (I had to slow his tracks down a little bit - I hope he forgives me. :))
Really nice distinctive Wittekind trademark: dark, horror chemistry making a step back from an in my opinion sometimes gone to far sound towards the club techno scene. Whenever he does that does it very well. Check out his remixes on "Tube-Tech: Kiss in the storm" or "Carl Max: How I feel tonight?" on ARMS records, both very good work you'll not be disappointed. Once again: Seven Deadly Sins rocks!! Favorite tracks: "Sintro" , "Invidia" , "Gula" , "Acedia" .

Steve Stoll

Dignity, taste, professionalism! Steve Stoll is the man I would put forward in terms of no nonsense non-over-complicated solid techno sound. He's like the American Thomas Krome and Oliver Ho
fusion in some ways. Who knows his work and what he represents with his excellent music surely know what I mean. A long time running player who truly stands out of the crowed with his strong uncompromising quality and somehow always fairly simple and professional sound at the same time. And also very gifted dj as well! His endless work and efforts and blind belief in techno is remarkable and can be compared to only a few others. Lots of lots of respect to Mr. Steve Stoll!!

Yeah that's right! One of the hottest techno record ever made. The word "mad" is an utterly under rated term trying to express this. Dark as hell, brutal, barbaric, stubborn, relentless and menacing a real dancefloor beast! This is how I would describe it. Fantasticly produced an assymetrical pumping masterpiece. (When it was released it really has showed a new side to the techno fans of their beloved energy on top music.) You either love it or hate it it leaves you with a big shock. It's just one of those "down on your fucking knees" things... Words cannot explain the feeling when you get hit with it. Fantastic!!!
Advent, The - Light Years Away
Dec 14, 2007
Well than let's send the vinyl double pack too:)!!
Wicked stuff definitely very cool shit from Cisco so let's see how the UFO-s rock to it!:) The name giving track "Light Years Away" is a hugely superb driving electro piece. One of my heavy weight favorite tracks lately. Pounding, fast, mind blowing dancefloor manipulation to the max with great futuristic sounds and robot lyrics "light-years-away light-ye-ars-a-way"... Cisco is just geniously insane in a very cool and likeable way. If you wanna here the song in action just how much does it work in a mix listen to Dave Clarke World Service2 -s electro mix. Even in very strong song selection stands out a lot being one of the coolest bit. And you know that's funny even Anthony Rother's genious electro mind couldn't defeat it. Very very cool shit indeed!

Primate is one of my top 3 favorite labels out there and this is one of the prime examples why is that.
Carola once again pulls of something huuuuge here! "Peak"'s smouldering industrial build up sound is great (you might gonna prefer that one), and "Andante" and "Loop 2000" wicked too works well and written in the very good Naples-Italian style as usual. But "Acid Tension" is the incredibly well done work here! What a fantastic piece of music this is!! In my opinion by a mile one of the most amazing, menacing techno assaults of all times this world has ever seen. No matter how and when once it's unleashed on the people my friend, there's no escape... Relentlessly moving forward, highly professional robotic acid madness twisting, tortureing, manipulating and thrilling the s*** out of each and everyone of them. Unbelievable! I mean, this IS! super serious. One of those tracks I just cannot believe and blows me the f*** away every time I listen to it. The '99 remix is not as driving but very good too. But don't let it fool you this was the earlier one and was released a decade ago by now in '97. It's way ahead of it's time and rules any I mean ANY dareing, thinking dancefloors out there. It really is unstopable!

What a track baby! Alex Bau with this and with his previous Meaning Of Darkness Pt.2 release also on CLR and his very good Connected Album on Toneman and with many other excellent releases and remixes has managed to put himself up to the highest calibre in techno no doubt about it.
Hats off! Fantastic!!!
