Chris McCormack has made a number of productions that I find somewhat interesting but none of his productions never really seemed to blow things out of the water. Especially his UK Gold moniker never made a great impressing on me. That is until very ... See full review

I’ve always enjoyed this innocent tech house release by Cari and Jori. Timeless classic that sounds like it was made yesterday? No, very 90s and very tech-driven house material but it has always sounded good and still does. ’Doin’ It’ by Mr. Lekebusch is ... See full review

Two very underrated Mills mixes available here. And at the same time I want to do you all a favour and tell that skip all the remixes by DJ Pierre. ’Berlin (Mills Mix)’ is very trancey, not very Mills like production but I can’t help myself, I love it. ... See full review

This is a blueprint release on my relationship with The Advent. I’ve always liked all of them but the productions which have been made by my true hero, Mr. G, seem to stand out from the ones that have been made by Cisco Ferreira. That, and the mandatory ... See full review

Mr. Pooley, what happened? You made outstanding techno and underground house in the mid-nineties and then decided get into, I don't know, cheesy wine bar slash Ibiza house? Oh, I just wonder what other gems could have been produced if you had decided to ... See full review

'The Augur'. The. Perfect. Techno. Track. Ever. First of all, I've never understood why 'Amenity' by Link was and still is as popular as it is. With his Link alias Mark Pritchard made, at least, two tracks which are waaaay above it. 'Avatar' which was ... See full review

Can you give too much praise to Larry Heard? In case you even thought about that for a second, no, you can't. The house master, one of the originators, has such a resume that only a few producers on this planet can compete with him. Mr. Heard, some say, ... See full review

Years ago when I bought this it was only because of Dixon's edit of 'Oblivion' but after I heard the rest of this EP I knew this was a rock solid release. To start with the highlight, Dixon really didn't do that much with this remix (probably why it's ... See full review

Back in the day I used to be a huge Mr. G fan. He was, simply put, probably my favorite producer at times but then as time passed by I started to feel that he wasn't able to change his game. The whole Phoenix G, whatever labels, sounded the same. It was ... See full review

Personally I rank 'Aurelon' among the top techno songs ever made. I mean, top three or so. Bold statement? I know, but I feel that way. If an alien came to me and asked to play one song called "techno" I think that 'Aurelon' would be it. It's just so ... See full review

Oh my, how many of you have missed on 'Falling Deep'? It's exactly what the the title foreshadows. Deep, deep bass, a very nice production overall. A teaser, it builds up, then slowly gets going, and all the sudden it just true devastation with all the ... See full review

A shimmering atmospheric techno release, full of emotion, full of Detroit, a true beauty. Everything in its right please, yes, everything. Every producer should hear this and learn because this is how you make an impression. Forward driving but still ... See full review

What a record, I must say! Where to begin with? I believe that it was actually the Speedy J remix that I heard first, years ago. I think it was Beyer's Essential Mix or something similar like that, that had this remarkable remix. A instrumental true ... See full review

Maybe the best the best slice of 12-inch wax ever made. No joke. I love this record, I love every second of it. It’s utterly great, powerful, mean in places, and the total quality overall is outstanding. Let’s start with Surgeon rework. What can I say? ... See full review

I listened to this recently. I still have a price tag on it and it seems that I paid seven euros for this in May 2005. Now, I always buy a Svek release which I don’t have - but still I consider seven euros for this as everything but cheap. But I’ve seen ... See full review

Back when this record was released the response was rather lukewarm. I felt that it was unjustified and still do. 'Different' may lack the excitement and wildness of Mr. Hulkkonen's first two albums but it has great musical experiences and it's a quality ... See full review

You know the way some records that you got have a great story. One lazy Saturday afternoon we went to this market place and I saw this guy who got some CDs in a box on the floor. There I found some early techno, like Harthouse, A Guy Called Gerald, etc. ... See full review

Carl Craig. For me, he's the biggest, the most influential musical hero emerging from Detroit. Yes, that's saying a lot but this album is a solid proof how such a claim can be made. For me, a definite proof that a quality full length Detroit techno album ... See full review

Rennie Foster's 'Hustle N Flow' is a remarkable Detroit techno gem. Sublime 303 programming with a killer beat, and what a break down with trademark Detroit chords. Such a shame that this remarkable tune was included on this various artist compilation ... See full review

'Quetzal' is one of the most beautiful Detroit techno songs I'm aware of. It's not really techno at all, it's house, but still just so beautiful. I love the stings, I love the beat programming, especially the cowbell, I love everything about it. Just a ... See full review

If I had to name the genre crossing anthem of this decade, it would be this. No, not only that, this is the house music anthem of this decade! Supported and hammered by everyone from deep housers to techno heads, 'The Sun Can't Compare' is a modern ... See full review

When I was a kid, some thirteen years old, MTV's Partyzone was probably the biggest influence on my music preferences. Usually on Saturday mornings I watched it on tape since it was aired very late Friday night. And one night Partyzone had played ... See full review
