This time, I'm not going to talk about the actual producers who were included on this mix, I guess you all know what to expect from Chris, there's a much interesting story to be read. The mix was recorded in Belgrade on March 19th 2005 at KPGT (note: Beograd is actual Serbian name for the city and it means "a white town"). Why Belgrade? You have... read more

Even they are not German, each Plak release provides us fresh and original minimal stuffs.

The first side is dedicated to the dancefloors with an acidulated track where the machines seem to speak each other in order to give the best and... read more

Four years after the huge 2manydjs surge, it is very hard to find a good bastard mix which is original, well-made and addictive... Pussylicker is one of them with a surprising clash between M83 / Aphex Twin and Khia!!! Done by a crazy French wizard, this unexpected hit may be quickly your favorite sound to go to work!! Other freaky (and free) tracks are available on Dopplebanger's website: Eminem / M83, Notorious B.I.G / The Whites Stripes... and a mix with bastard edits of Gloom's releases. A different sound from France.

Those who thought Japan still focused on Jeff Mills, Fumiya Tanaka or Ken Ishii techno sound will be surprised! Born in 2004, TEBR proves that there's from now an electro scene in the raising sun country. After a rather confidential release ("Tokyo Electro Beat Box Vol.1"), the first Japanese syncopated label does it again with another EP... read more

Young netlabel based near Paris, Plex Records presents us this month its second release with a compilation featuring debuts composition of young French talents: Akan, Cyclik, Human Koala and Omas FGT. Dark and minimal, the seven tracks of this compilation will deviously stroke your ears by its dissonance and its abstraction. Engineered by Twerk (Force Inc, Click & Cuts...), the sound quality of this release is really powerful: dark, glitchy, rythmed with a lot of extreme frequencies. Let's go now to download it for free, shame on you if you don't test it.

First appearance of Lone Shark on the excellent (net) label managed by Andy Jaggers aka ADJ (Touchin' Bass, Outside Recordings) and John Crammer alias Pathic (Longhaul). Successor of Aphex Twin, Juan Atkins and The Blag Dog, UK artist Ed Kelly signs a sumptuous five cuts EP, half way between feverish electronica and pervert ambient. On A side,... read more

Kompakt is a very prolific label whose releases are very unequal; therefore you could miss easily one of their awesome bombs. But don't worry, Mister Mayer gives you another chance with this "Total 6". No news but an amazing "best of Kompakt" with the last best tracks of the label. For example, you can hear the romantic Superpitcher ("Tell me... read more

Warning: Misc has changed!!! Don't be afraid, they don't play any pop song in their new album and don't give up their 4/4 rhythms neither, but their sound is smoother and more melodic... Sometimes we could even believe that it's a Superpitcher new stuff. Thanks to these emotional strings (like the amazing "Metroland"), this album became more interesting and less hard to hear at home as "Crunch time". Sometimes the duet come back to the hard Sender sound with big raw weapons in order to destroy your brain!!! So everything is in the right place...
