JB³ - Slice May 17, 2012
Mostly consisting of samples from the famous Giorgio Moroder production - "Donna Summer - I Feel Love". This vinyl is also available in Yellow, non-marbled vinyl.
Miss Kittin is the unstoppable voice that everyone wants a piece of - here she teams up with Justin Berkovi with amazing results! From the menacing 808 electro of 'Il Est Disparu' to the rolling Detroit heavy 'Running Man' and the deep tech-house groove of 'My Voice', this excellent EP moves from the dancefloor into the head in a unique and refreshing twist for both protagonists!.
I was really dissapointed in the Original version of this track, bit of a let down from shufflemaster.

however...the Adam Beyer & Henrik B Remix was alot more interesting implementing a tougher bassline and a nicer filtered detroitish sounding melody.

I didn't really like the Hikaru Hashimoto remix either... too loungy house sounding for my liking.

so overall the Adam Beyer & Henrik B Remix did it for me...

I was really surprised when I heard this album and seeing it be released under his own name, this album sounds alot like his productions under the alias of PSI Performer.

Ambient electro soundscapes, would be my way of describing the textured sounds of this piece.
I personally think this record is sensational, both tracks on this release are absolute trance gems in my opinion. They are both favourites of mine, of course they differ from the Gouryella productions, each alias is for a different style. If they always sounded the same then it would make no sence to have different names.

Both these tracks will always be a favourite of mine... I just love the bassline in We Came.
DJ Montana - Concept Apr 20, 2003
shit!, another really techno based compilation. What is black hole doing? Trying to get trance listeners into techno. I think they should be kept separate, no offence to either of the techno or trance listeners. I love both genre's to bits. I just think that genre's should sometimes be kept separate.
Syndrome is definately my favourite track on this EP, awesome kick drums and snare build ups which definately create this track, and a great tones and sounds in this track sounding alot like old skool computer game electro synth sounds. This is Techno :D
Vitalic - Poney EP Apr 15, 2003
This EP oozes sheer quality, one of the best Electro EP's I have ever heard. You all know La Rock the electro/techno fused monster, almost every DJ is playing it even some trance DJ's have been known to play it.

You prefer cocaine is on the more relaxed atmosphereic sounding electro tip, sounds alot like The Hacker - Fadin' Away (Dima Remix)

Will never part with this record till I die.
Hardware Apr 15, 2003
Understanding music isn't just a business, it's a feeling. And it's a feeling that can't be learnt with books, courses or lecturers - it's a knowledge that comes from persistence, experience, and love. The Hardware Corporation doesn't just know music, it's an organisation that couldn't exist without it.Like turntables and vinyl, like DJs and dancefloors.

For more than ten years, Hardware has persistently and consistently pushed electronic and dance music to the Australian listening public. Not because it's fashionable or profitable, but because it is worthy of our attention. In no uncertain terms, it has become the future. From the first Hardware event - a fundraiser on a New Year's Eve in 1990 - through to the multi-faceted corporation with interests in events management, artist management, tour operations, music distribution and retail, Hardware has consistently sown the seeds for a fertile music culture in Melbourne.

What separates Hardware from most organisations involved with youth culture is that Hardware doesn't merely aim to create trends for the future; we experience the future every day. From our business involvement with the local and international music scene to our own music productions, we are an organisation that doesn't just talk dance music: we live it.

But experience and persistence aren't enough; a group of people that goes to work every day is a group of workers, not a team of enthusiasts. Leading a market and challenging cultural norms requires more than commitment, it requires love. At the heart of Hardware is love; a love of new ideas, a love of creativity, a love of pushing the boundaries, and above all, a love of music. It is this relationship that has allowed Hardware to take Australian music into regions no-one thought was possible; and it is the reason Hardware will lead the Australian music scene into the future.
Brilliant compilation of some of Yello's best tracks, I describe their style a mix of techno, electro and rock.

They are some of the early pioneers of electronic music and they were ahead of their time I think.

Their productions are fantastic.
