KM001 – Northberg “Spare / Moments” Klimaks – TECH HOUSE
First release on Klimaks comes from a well known producer hiding behind the moniker "Northberg". Who it is....... cannot be revealed yet.What we can tell you is that the artist delievers 2 smashing tunes for the primetime heads; "Spare" being and uplifting tech house affair and "Moments" being a more progressive and darker journey. Both tracks have been tested worldwide in 2009 and reactions have been awesome.
To top it all we also have some quality mixes included in the release.Russian talents Nikitin & Semikashev (the ones to watch for 2009) delievers a smashing techno affair on their take of "Spare" and the already well known and respected UK producer Anil Chawla makes "Moments" a bit more dubby and tight. Test them in the clubs and watch the reactions yourself.

RR020 – Steve Slight “Love” ReRun – TECHNO
Steve Slight started out at the tender age of 15.

IM036 – Aitor Ronda “Mi Musa EP” Impact Mechanics – TECHNO
Four tracks of Fierce, glitchy funk mastery from Spain. While I like the title track, it's "Get Down" that's really working for me. Spain based producer Aitor Ronda brings us this absolutely stunning EP, some of his best work yet. "Mi Musa" is a swirling, simple, stunner, while "Showtime" is an effortless, cyclic rocker that slowly rips your mind to shreds. Getting heavy support from major artists across the globe, add this to your wish list immediately! For those Ben Sims fans, something you don't want to miss.
