Under this new pseudo, Djinxx brings as always a dancefloor deep techno track which is perfectly produced. The very young Swedish artist John Dahlbäck revisits the title and makes it even more efficient, melodic and atmospheric. Great job! Finally the second remix is done by Deetron. The Swiss producer adds a furtive vocal sample and slows down the bpm to get back to deep US and analog territories. Really beautiful. An excellent EP: check it!

Phish and Bitkid strike back on the substructure of a Paris based label quoted several times in our pages. With a lot of humour (let's check their website), the two Austrians deliver four completely serious unreleased cuts made of sound collages, extreme sampling and devastating tempos. On the flip, "California" combines with savoir faire the... read more

It's time for Luciano & Ricardo Villalobos to take place in this remixes project started last year by Karmarouge. The two DJs & producers who don't need to be introduced anymore bring each one a click & cut and progressive (very) longplayer like stuff they are famous for. Luciano's ultra groovy track is my favorite one. Bonus: a free mp3 by Oliver Hacke which is more dedicated to the dancefloor. Check mp3 samples on Karmarouge web site!

Because they are rare and brilliant, Randy Barracuda and Fresh Lexxx's releases create each time the event. Authors of an album, a handle of Eps and some remixes on Kostamus, Tellektro or Bunker, our two Finnish activists introduced in the electro movement in 2000 make today their very first appearance on Dominance Electricity. There's no need to... read more

Under this kind of anagram, Scottish producer Vince Watson brings two deep & dancefloor tracks. B-side title is really well done, in the vein of some Technasia or Resonant releases. Check it!

The two first releases of this very new French label based in Paris are done by Wee-Kids (Popof & Djedjotronic) and Low Key. They are made of various pumpin' & synthetic electro tech / electroclash tracks which are fully dedicated to the dancefloor and which should satisfy fans of Blake Strobe or Water Lilly.

After some EPs, the German producer presents its debut LP. Using bouncing & grooving minimal rhythms, Todd Bodine adds with delicacy some melodies & strings and short vocal samples sometimes. Perfect to alternate US deep house and German minimal house in a same set. Cool stuff: check it!!

Here comes One L's second album on the NY based structure RES FREq! Direct follow up to the "Das Not-Stop Programm" CD published in May 2003, "Bot Box" uses the same components as the previous release but shows here a much more daring Mitch Davis. If American artist, against the mainstream dark productions, confirms his propensity for computer... read more

Here are the remixes coming from the excellent album by Gabriel Ananda released at the end of 2004. The first track is done by Frank Martiniq, it is powerful & atmospheric electro. The second is brought by Metope and sounds like productions of his label Areal : raw and a bit distorted techno with dark string & melody. At last, Gabriel Ananda revisits one of his tracks in a hypnotizing minimal retro style. An excellent release with a 4th bonus track which can be downloaded for free: a powerful, deep & funky electro remix by Gabriel Ananda. Check mp3 samples on Karmarouge web site!

Produced by some obscure Austrian artists for a well known French underground electro-breaks label, this bootleg presents three incredible titles in a Broken Beat register. On A side, "Sorrow" delivers on an unrestrained breakbeat rhythmic some furious distortions completed with guitar riffs. As much irritated, "Hotstuff" on the reverse combines... read more

Swiss label welcomes Lee Van Dowski, a producer also based in Geneva whose releases on Anti-iiism and more recently on Num have been reviewed in our pages. The EP contains two minimal house longplayers that are dedicated to the dancefloor thanks to their fast & ultra groovy basslines and rhythms. But what makes them very original is the addition of ambient or atmospheric elements (like in electronica) in their second part. Efficient, beautiful & fine-worked... simply excellent!!
