Mr. Anders Trentemøller can do no wrong. Windowlicker has always been an amazing track but it always had its trouble on the dancefloor as well. Anders Trentemøller aka Run Jeremy, has produced a remix (really more of a re-edit than remix) with updated drum programming and subtle slickness that make this clear piece of vinyl easy to mix. The beauty of the original combined with mixability and dancefloor devastation . . . why didn't anyone think of this sooner? Mad props to Anders Trentemøller on this one.

MU is one of the coolest electronic artists working today. She doesn't care, at all, and that is her biggest message. Her crooning, shouting, broken vocals somehow manage to melt gently into the finely crafted beats and become a kind of delicious liquid poison for the ears. Well done Output.

I must say that after the last several onitor releases I thought that the label may be taking a turn for the worst, Gringo Grinder's latest really cements onitor as a prime mover in the forward thinking thicket of electronic music. Subdued female vocals and thick, crunchy basslines makes 'Floger fetter' one of my favorite tracks this year. Onitor is back on the discofied electro techno tip and I like it!

One of the crown jewels of the ever forward and excellent LA-based Palette recordings imprint. The plastic beats and gently clashing, ascending and descending synth lines of Mono on Mono are sonic bliss. One of the best releases on a great label.

John Tejada & Arian Leviste have crafted one of 2005's most luxuriously bubbling technological releases to date. Subtle and fierce at the same time, minimal and maximal, deep and bright. A tour de force of techy housey electronics. I would highly recommend this album for any fresh ears to the genre that continues to defy its own boundaries. A really sweet accomplishment. Big up the Palette Recordings crew!
