Tomash Gee - Homeless, Hungry & Violent - 18-May-04 01:01 AM
Some records are good ways to introduce people that don’t know any better, to a particular sound or style. They are usually not too extreme and they allow the newly initiated listener to get their “feet wet” and slowly get used to what that particular style is all about. In keeping with this advice, if you know someone who knows nothing about techno, my advice is: DON’T play this record for him or her, as they may have a nervous breakdown. Brining the pain like only Tomash Gee can, this record is funky, rough and absolutely relentless. Suitable for ripping apart dance floors at techno festivals or peeling the paint off the walls in your studio; buy this and find out what punishment sounds like.

Sven Väth - In The Mix: The Sound Of The Fourth Season - 18-May-04 12:59 AM
From the open strains of the excellent “Emotional Content” by Funk D’Void, through the Tribal flavor of “The Push” by Paul Jackson, blazing electro of “Freak” by LFO and trippy undertones of “Diapason” by Marco Carola; Germany Techno master Sven Vath transforms you from wherever you may be, to Monday night gathering on the dancefloor at Amnesia in Ibiza.

Crafted and molded by the theme of the summer of 2003, “In Your Face”; this 2 disc set shows the breadth and depth of musical diversity that is Sven Vath. Minimal and clicky, deep and breaky, hard and unyielding, this set is a wildly diverse trip through the mind of one of dance music’s most consistently credible characters. Twenty years into his illustrious career, Sven is still rocking dance floors, producing choice tracks and putting his unique stamp on the world of dance music. Compelling in all the best ways.

Oliver Ho - Magick - 18-May-04 12:55 AM
Truly remarkable EP from Oliver Ho, one of the most underrated producers in world of Techno. The “Magick Pure Mix” kicks things off, with funky rhythms, Latin flavored vocal stabs and enough funky bass to set off any dancefloor or summer party. The B Side features a more stripped down, tribal influenced version of the same track and the B2 cut, “Epsilon Orions” is an absolutely amazing piece of beat less Detroit Techno, from Oliver’s forthcoming album “The Soft Machine.” This is a brilliant EP and one you should seek out and add to your collection at once.

Various - Beat Bazaar - 18-May-04 12:54 AM
Absolutely amazing collection of smooth, minimal tech house gems. “It Is Just In Time” by Todd Bodine, is a subtle, slow developing jam with sexy keys and an amazingly lush breakdown, while “Copa Cup” by Apoll takes things up a notch, while still retaining its simple, rich undertones. Other stand out tracks include the glitchy masterpiece “Accslider” by Rene Breitbarth and “Drop Your Glowstick” by Dialogue. For a deep house DJ, tracks like these add a change in texture and style to your sets, while techno DJs, will find this collection a brilliant way to start (or end) a hard set. Outstanding.

Deetron - The Recuts (Part 1) - 18-May-04 12:54 AM
Take 3 diverse cuts from one of the premiere techno producers on the scene (Deetron), hand them over to 3 studio masterminds (Gary Martin, Ben Sims and Adam Bayer) and what do you end up with? One of the most solid releases you are likely to hear in 2004. Ben Sims kicks things off with a rough, hypnotic romp through repetitive beats, Latin flavored stabs and general mayhem, but it is on Adam Bayer’s remix of “Velocity” where the project really comes together. Pumpin’ percussion, a sexy bassline and enough driving energy and power to move the most reluctant crowd to the dancefloor, this track is not only top of my chart but in heavy rotation at each and every gig. Stunning release.
