Two amazing remixes from Secret Cinema and Tiger Stripes are featured on the second part of "SLS" "Broken Floors" remixes,out soon - ***Vinyl Only on PRAXXIZ***
The original track was already quite something in itself. Secret Cinema's reinterpretation of SLS' "Broken Squares" takes us well and truly down the funky techno road, deftly retaining the glitchy flavour of the original, whilst adding a touch of that old school feeling and successfully delivering a peaktime bomb thats equally at home in either a techno or a tech-house set ! Witness some serious progression, a wickedly wobbling bass and some deliciously broken beats, making this huge track fun and accessible for dancers and DJ's alike.
Leave your expectations at the door. Mikael Nordgren, AKA Tiger Stripes, well known in techno's ahead of the curve circles for his massive slamming tunes like 'Eden' or for his tightly wrapped tech-house beats, surprises us, adeptly flirting with dub techno in his awesome reworking of SLS' "Four To The Floor". This is a very heavy minimal track, reminiscent more than anything else, of "deep-down-into-dub" artists like Quantec or Marco Furstenberg. The deeper of the four versions of "Four To The Floor" as released on Ground Factory. It retains the musical atmosphere of the original material while turning it into one of those intense and evocative slow heavy techno moments, with a relaxed mood and a subtle progression.

welcome back Pacou after many years on Tresor !!!

Hemlock are proud to introduce the debut for Brighton boy Guy Andrews. Two tracks of brilliantly unpredictable, percussive wizardry with more twists than a season of the Killing. 'Shades' combines of precision drum edits, killer 808 booms and woodblock percussion that will bring a tear of nostalgia to the eye of the Blue Note & Metalheadz vets and a smile to the face of the most discerning new dancefloors. 'Textures' on the flip kills it with an arrangement that just keeps you guessing. Perfectly poised between light & dark, delicate & heavy, and taking you seamlessly from locked 4/4 to dubbed out techno via all-out percussive funk and back before you know it.

This work is about his travels in music. The sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the music influences deriving from them.
Through his prism those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take."
Fluxion captured the "Motion" in his travels with a different feeling each time.

Entitled 'Personality' and featuring 11 brand new tracks, it takes in a wealth of genres across contemporary dance music, proving once again Scuba's place at the cutting edge of the electronic music scene. Preceding his LP will be this single 'The Hope'; pushing on from the tense atmospherics of previous Scuba material, the single fizzes with claustrophobic bass pressure and menacing narration. Backed by an exclusive non-album cut 'Flash Addict'.
