Apexton Records existed for a 10 year period between 1982-1992. When the free trade agreement was signed on December 21, 1992 the Ropiak Brothers who owned the 6 pressing machines which was Apexton, quickly abandoned the company and went back to... See full review

Absolutely associated. The U.K. Atmosphere Organizers promised a £1,000 payment for DJ services. I wasn't going to play because they had not paid me, but I told the organizer I would spin and that if the fee wasn't delivered I was going to take his... See full review

Proud to be a part of the extended Stereodisk family, Leandro is a dedicated lover of the vinyl process and as you can see from Bangin Music Test pressing, the quality equals the actual colored disc it's pressed on. The rumour of colored vinyl... See full review

DBX - Losing Control
posted a review of DBX - Losing Control. over 11 years ago
Dan Bell's most famous track defined the sound of minimal techno in the first half of the nineties along with Phylps Trak II by Basic Channel. Mix those two together with Convextion (Matrix-1) and everyone in Techno will take you serious.
Various - Bits & Pcs 86
posted a review of Various - Bits & Pcs 86. over 13 years ago
Love that Freddy Fresh connected the dots, nice work. True, this 86 and the following 87 Bits & Pcs were indeed created by Carlos Berrios. But only those two years.
Various, Carlos Berrios - Bits & Pieces 87
posted a review of Various, Carlos Berrios - Bits & Pieces 87. over 13 years ago
This 87 mix and the one from 86 were both indeed created by Carlos Berrios as his first vinyl releases. Hard to get a count on how many these things sold, but from 1979 on, most DJ Medley Mixes were considered to be holy grail and I would estimate... See full review

Limited to 400 copies. Or so they said. If it's true then I am one of the lucky ones and you are mad at me right now because this is one of the most interesting things I got on vinyl in the past couple of years. To understand it, you would have to... See full review
Trestristestigres - No Windows No TV E.P
posted a comment on Trestristestigres - No Windows No TV E.P. over 14 years ago
I love when records come from Spain. Mainly because most Electronic Music which comes from Spain remains untapped and unknown when released on indie labels. So what the hell is Trestristestigres? It's Planet Rock meets Fischerspooner "Emerge" with... See full review
Trentemøller - Moan
posted a comment on Trentemøller - Moan. over 14 years ago
Anders Trentemøller is a composer of electronics. What that defines is someone who captures a full spectrum of sound in his productions and remixes. Moan is a well built tune more for the head then the feet. People tend to throw this in the minimal... See full review
Sleeparchive - Radio Transmission EP

Something very sinister and almost cold but very calculated going on with Sleeparchive. Quite similar only to itself but has parallels with Monolake, Basic Channel/Chain Reaction. That being said I believe this one is a great place to start even... See full review

One that would slip right by the most experienced collector we have a serious remixed version of Xavia Gold's "You Used To Hold Me"(Hot Mix 5). What makes it serious is the fact that they take the hook from Alicia Myers "I Want To Thank You" and... See full review
Green Velvet - Temptation

The 'B' side cut "War On The Saints". It was one of those records you must of heard somewhere and thought, "Hey this sounds like one of those old Green Velvet records from the early 90's when Relief first started putting records out. And you made a... See full review

If there has to be one defining moment in techno for 2009, you could really start right here. For Luke Slater this will be a moment in time where he will find both old time fans and even brand new ones dancing in unison. Not a bad track in sight on... See full review

You can't help getting excited by this release. It's 25 years in the making, or so it seems. You drop the needle in anticipation only to realize you are expecting more. You first start questioning yourself. Maybe you just got old. But you listen... See full review

Welcome to 2009. Oliver Huntemann has been making records for many years now. I figure almost 15 years since his Confused Recordings began making their way into the underground. Elektrochemie LK moved some numbers, but otherwise Huntemann remained... See full review

Another unofficial remix courtesy of the Hoxton Whores. This one taking it's title from that mid 1990's legend MK. Marc Kinchen, remember that guy? Most of MK's success came from The Dub Of Doom he did for the Nightcrawlers. His later 4 You came... See full review

Hoxton Whores provide one and many unofficial remixes on various limited edition vinyls. Some fair better then others and with that in mind, this orange vinyl pressing is a good one. Taking the original "Voodoo Ray" by A Guy Called Gerald, Hoxton... See full review

We will just go straight to the Perc remix and there is really not much more to talk about here. What we have here is that "Spastik"
type of drum roll thing happening with a Green Velvet "Flash" type of feel. Perc is one of the best names out there... See full review

Basing this review on the sole track "We Likes" on ses records what Zebo has seemed to do here is bridge the current and past-current Baltimore Breaks sound making it more accessible for the dancefloor and for the "breaks" scene. Sure anyone can... See full review

This is instant win material people. How to explain? Let's go back to Speedy J "Something For Your Mind". Remember that tone/noise that carried the entire track? Well here we have a similar tone hitting every 1/2 a measure with all those bleeps &... See full review

Seems as if the owners and staff at ZYX Records didn't get the memo about the music industry collapse due to internet downloading.
And quite frankly, being frank, I'd like to accept their apology for the many years of torture starting as far back as... See full review

If you know the original, it bares no similarity to that whatsoever. Tim Deluxe did a mighty fine job with remixing this.
I don't get impressed by many these days but I must say these two remixes are very impressive. I like how there is this... See full review

Absolutely one of the most interesting records I have listened to in years. I admit I got here late but tracks like these have no expiration date. What we have here is multi-genre pile up of breaks, house and old school & new school electro. My... See full review

Tim Deluxe has worked his way through the underground scene and has gained a decent sized following over the past decade. That is something London based and like many who have done the same there is no looking back. Skint Records is also a label... See full review

The title of this in itself says "steer clear", nothing to see here. And had this been the first time I heard about this CD, I would not be doing a review. But there it was sitting in a bunch of other clearance CD's in some bargain bin for a dollar... See full review
Various - Fuse Ten Years Techno Music

Not too many Techno albums exist that contain 8 records. It is something rather unusual whereas Drum & Bass multi-packs have been available for years. I never understood the concept of why that is but FUSE did a great job of making this one all... See full review

Contains a sample of Marshall Jefferson. It's something of a risk when you take such a treasured house classic and call yourself Tommi Sparkxxx. I mean the name alone sounds suspect. Something a truck stop strip club DJ would call himself. And he... See full review

If there was one record which defined an era, I would have to say "French Kiss" is that record. It's now 20 years old and yet it is one of those tracks that always sounds like running into an old friend that you have not seen in a while. True, I can... See full review

Since this is really one of the most underrated breakbeat tracks of all time, it would come as no surprise that a remix which would take nine years to arrive would go largely unnoticed. Not that I am mad at anyone because really, can anyone think... See full review
Tom Neville - Colouring In Robot Restroom
posted a review of Tom Neville - Colouring In Robot Restroom. over 16 years ago
So it is Tom Neville who produced this. The promo has colouring In as the artist. So what is this? An obvious British piss-take on the nu-electro trend scene. It's almost two years old so it probably has done it's run in the underground but it's... See full review

One track, single sided vinyl. It starts out as an almost Chicago styled hard house cut which you might find in the later Underground Construction releases. A bit techy, a track for sure.

Very cheeky re-edits pressed on black vinyl with labels which scream bargain bin from across the second-hand shop you are digging in. We will only talk about the Gwen Da Lyn track which is from the "Padlock" ep by Gwen Guthrie. This is one of Larry... See full review
