Do you remember sounds of old hits like "James Brown is dead" released in early 90's? Here they are again thanks to a well-know artist who will remain anonymous one more time (B Rave rules!). A quite hard techno longplayer and two other techno breakbeat tracks less aggressive dedicated to all rave age lovers! Check audio samples on B Rave web site!

Crowdpleaser can't get down : "let's go bed" is the perfect anthem, massive electro tech & post new-wave synth. On the flip side : a brilliant piece of melancholic electro "croquette". Its acid revival will fit the audience.

Still produced by Headroom, this second chapter in a series of nine pieces welcomes two strong and efficient techno house tracks. Really brilliant, B-side refers to an oldschool ravey sound which comes back today. Like wine, our Swedish artists improve when they become dated.
