- - - - - - spot the difference !!

Frank FM is more housy than the other artists on melted recordings, who
produced the mtd.003. But some tracks of him are much more deep chord tech
burning stuff!
The A-side track "motion sense" has a nice and easy floating bass and
organ melody supplemented by a jazzy trumpet - a warm uplifting summer
sound with some tech-house drums.
The B-side track "can't let you go" is very much more dark and deep
techno, rhythmic detroit and comes with a somehow wobbling synth and
hypnotic sounds.

PART 2 OF THE HUMAN REASON EP

2nd techno shot from new french label Jaygone Music, and further step to bring you 4 heavy tracks for heavy sound systems. A-side includes groovy loop + fat "saw" synth in a dancefloor killer, and B-side is actually a 50% Detroit hybrid. Don't even have to choose, thanks 4 tracks vinyl !

First outing on Sino by Paris-based up-and-coming Techno producer, Zadig. 'P8', on the A, is a mindblowing dark dancefloor anthem, while 'Reflection N' on the B delivers a rather dubbier and melodic approach of Zadig's sound. All in all, 'P8' is an EP to be hailed as a milestone in the Sino catalog. Dont miss it!

XP2 TEAM UP WITH TIM DELUXE FOR SOME QUALITY OLD SCHOOL FLAVA'S

What's the point of a concept album when no one hears the concept in it Maybe that it sets a boundary, forcing mr artist to go even deeper into the fewer possibilities left. Creativity by limitation and all that... we'll spare you further theorizing. 'Fever', the third longplayer by dutch low end scientist 2562, then, is his disco album: a thorough reinterpretation of underground disco music from the mid seventies to the early eighties, with his own birthyear 1979 as the gravitational point. All based on one simple rule: every single sound, from the smallest background shiver to the most obese sub bass, originates from a disco record - no additional synthesizers, drumcomputers or other samplesources involved. Disco-edits, italo homages or filtered loops then Hardly. This is genuinely new and retro-free music that respectfully flips its sources so hard even the biggest Paradise Garage connaisseurs won't recognize what just hit them. Or in the words of musical allies Martyn and Pinch, who independently drew the same conclusion: 'Sorry, but I don't hear that whole disco story in there. This simply sounds like you.' Completely failed as a concept album, then - and all the better for it.

F/Identical Astronauts. Varied 4 tracker of exploratory techno that will most likely be the last End to End release.

PARIS BASED PAUL RITCH DROPS A DOUBLE HEADER FOR DRUMCODE !!

two tracks that spit in the face of all those harmless, flat and cheesy
"we want to be played by everybody" productions and it`s of course alex
who takes the risk. supersonic flattens down everything with an
incredible bassy basis which even almost sucks the bassdrum. classic
techno and a sure shot on every technoset. centerangle on the flip is
kind of slowed down and much more adventurious compared to supersonic.
the breaks and the startup after them are causing riots in alex`s sets
right now the crispy, powerful production of this tune is nothing else
as another example of alex` trademark: techno in its basic sense!

New Tradition is the debut album of Alexis Tyrel also known as Gideon. His album is full of big and small anthem tracks which are highly melodic and full of original sounds and yet great for a broad variety of dancefloors. Every track has been produced as if it was a single in its genre, so do not expect any lose ends. With this 40th release on the Lessismore label Alexis Tyrel gives another interpretation of what less is more is, as the label has displayed in it's releases so far.

Shadow Sync are back with their latest true techno, full analog release
on KRD.
Poles is marked by a percussive sound which despite its inharmonic
character yet keeps a trace of tuning making it similar to a voiced
percussion. This main sound is arranged to form a sort of pseudo-melody
determined by the different intensity, lenght and color of the reverb
tail. The 909delivers both the drum line and the bass line, realized
using the tom section. The background is populated by friendly,
ceaselessly mutating sonic organisms.
Magnetic Fields is a train rolling through dark, post-industrial
landscapes. It's built around a drastically EQed 909 tom, a nervous
echoed clap and a cross-rhythmic, 3 against 4 hypnotic bass line which
evolves in a bell-like sound towards the pause. The atmosphere is
saturated with sound vapors and the temperature is dangerously high:
play at your own risk!
This release, like all previous releases, is available on vinyl only at
selected record stores around the world.

Abe is back with a spring monster. Three tracker EP of mystery and dancefloor madness.
