Techno Novedades

The undisputed lynchpin of Italy's vibrant techno-scene, Markantonio, delivers a remix package of his 'Alone Against' EP this summer featuring remixes from The Advent & Industrialyzer, Flavio Diaz, Paco Osuna & Joseph Capriati and Loco & Jam.

Autoreply offshoot Stuga returns with a highly playable 12" that's perfect for the outdoor party season. For this release we welcome back Ben Rourke who has previously recorded for Autoreply, his Blue EP collaboration with friend Pier Bucci having sold out instantly and going on to receive critical acclaim. His tracks effortlessly build without the aid of well known formulas always using high end sound design but never forgetting that house and techno music is essentially meant for dancing. "Tahiti" is one of those tracks that's perfect for the big room or after-party alike featuring bouncy percussion, an analogue bass-line that will properly drive the sound system and one of the most infectious synth-sequences of the year. In fact the man's developed a whole new genre, "Desert Island Techno" ! "Sharpie" explores the deeper realms of dub driven techno with a very liquid approach just so slightly tipping its hat to the 90's Detroit vibe and still very much aimed at the floor. Enjoy.

Eric Estornel aka Maetrik is, however, definitely not a newcomer. With a large number of releases on such prestigious labels from the likes of Treibstoff from Cologne, Dumb Unit and Steve Bug's Audiomatique platform, the Texan-born and now resident of Valencia has proven to be one of the most reliable protagonists at the interface between straight Dark House, Dub and funky Techno.

The Black Dog are a legendary live act whose ability to destroy venues and wreck soundsystems is undeniable. They blur the boundaries between DJing and performance while possessing an excellent sense of where to take the crowd. Live, they represent purist techno, which is also utterly crowd pleasing.

There are five key names in the Chilean electronic movement, there's the well-known Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos, there's fellow Rebels Dinky and Pier Bucci and last but not least there's Dandy Jack. All of them have played a massive part in pushing dance music in the right direction over recent years and it's testament to the vision of Crosstown Rebels to have 3 of the 5 artists on the label.

Dandy Jack (aka Martin Shopf) is a master of electronics and known for his collaborations, whether it be with Tobias Freund in Sieg Uber Die Sonne, Ricardo Villalobos in Ric Y Martin or with Jorge Gonzalez in Gonzalo Martinez, each project represents a different side of his personality and skill but with a constant link between electronic sound and Latin flavour. He's recorded for labels such as Perlon, Cynosure, Playhouse and Rather Interesting and is a permanent fixture on the club circuit, regularly playing at clubs and events like MUTEK Festival, Panorama Bar (Berlin) and Fabric (London).

Andres Garcia is a classically trained composer from Geneva with a love for electronic music. In recent years he's produced electronic music with artists such as Phill Quenum (Cadenza) & Lee Van Dowski for labels like Mental Groove.

The musical vision of John Keys is to take classical elements of traditional dance rhythms and put a modern twist on them. 'Torturing Lines' does just this, a 12 min odyssey continually developing, twisting and turning in new directions. On 'Rumba Triste', first heard on the recent Jamie Jones - Get Lost 2 album, the classical training comes to the fore in this incredibly detailed homage to a classic South American rhythm section. 'A Caballo Por Manhattena' features hyperactive beats, a steel guitar and harps amongst other things. It pushes the boundaries of electronic music - it is future techno!

Big with Slam, Greagor Tresher, Karotte, Pete Tong, Stephan Bodzin, 2000 And One, Bart Skils, Florian Meindl and more

The ball is certainly rolling in 2011 and next up is a treat from Germanys Lowtec. Founder of highly respected label Workshop he makes his UK label debut on Nonplus Records with two fresh cuts of analogue goodness.

great new ep on red vinyl !!

It's not only islands that need to be travelled to: developing a sound is a true journey, and one's changing environments naturally play a role in that evolution.

alva noto's new album "univrs" follows on from and develops the concept of the album unitxt (raster-noton, 2008).

Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit (Versatile, Mathematics, Ostgut Ton) has delivered 4 new cuts of submerged bass excursions for Nouveau Kanada.
All tracks sound distinctly raw and heavy, but with modern nods to UK bass and spatial elektro.

The much-anticipated album from Jonsson/Alter, the new project from Henrik Jonsson (Porn Sword Tobacco/Gunnar Jonsson) & Joel Alter (Joel Alter/Jor-el), has finally arrived. If the very well received preceding EPs, Olidan (km019) and En Livfull Skildring (km020), are future classics, the album Mod, sets a new standard of what a dance music album could be.

The third release from Färden Records from Stockholm, Sweden. Pure quality techno as usual. This time featuring Julien H Mulder who takes us out on a trip in far away territories. This is some real dope stuff!

Achtung, warning, Balushi is out with two new Techno bombs for the summer. On the A side let me be myself is a deep aquatic adventure with a huge basline chugging along. There are some deep dark underwater effects and vocal snippets which develop into a deep stabby groove that hypnotizes anyone listening to the track. There is then a break with a beautiful vocal derived from the snippets that refreshes the listener and takes them into another dimension before bringing them back into the heavy hipnotic groove. On the AA side we have the path one hell of a techno crossover designed to electrify and rock summer crowds all globally...With a funky meaty bassline that rolls on and perfectly complements both Rasta vocals and crazy electronic synths and squelches The Path is a fat groove to look out for on the hottest dancefloors...

Billy Dalessandro, famous Chicago producer, known for his releases on prestigious
labels such as Harthouse, or Siteholder, offers us a quality track that only he has the
secret to. Navigating between minimal and techhouse, 'Gruyère' has all the
necessary elements that you beat hungry clubbers are looking for. A real gem.
Plastic FM, the swiss duo already discovered in 2010 through several releases on
the label Ostwind, have delivered two techhouse influenced tracks, rhythmically
solid and supported by a really efficient chord line, Corner and Smoke Enough
remain faithful to the Plastic FM sound.

repress! Hot on the heels of releases from Edwin Oosterwal and iO (still available!), Rejected ready themselves to drop their latest smash hit. One that we are certain is set to rule this summer's dancefloors !!!
