He debuted in 2008 on the micro.fon label with a minimal and dark Ep, acclaimed by Alexi Delano, and in a few time he's known by the Swedish God Adam Beyer and at only 20 years old he releases on one of the best techno labels "Drumcode" with the strong track "Kick on", accompanied by an equally massive Ep on Kiddaz.Fm: "From unknown to vacuum". After these, a succession of remixes and Eps like "Shaved", a very cool and classy record from Spectrum recordings (UK) supported by Locodice, Chris Liebing, Radio Slave and so on. "Bad bass" a deep dark Ep includes two amazing remixes by Delano and Sanhaji (Smallroom music). Dubfire lately plays around the world "Muzik Live" and "Drop", two tracks of the next Ep on Sci+Tec by Ascion and D.Carbone...

DCREC051 – Krummstoff “Pink Avenue EP” DeepClass Records – DEEP HOUSE
DeepClass Records 51st release is a beautifully deep groovy offering called the Pink Avenue EP by Krummstoff. The music of Krummstoff is a pure reflection of the whole spectrum of his musical experience and skills, which at this point are mostly concentrated around tech-house, deep house and deep-tech production. The 4 tracks on this release will surely make you feel like grooving. Also included are two incredibly strong remixes from Just Voya and Lorenzo Bartoletti, which are highly recommended for big room deepness. You really don't want to miss this.

IM044 – Rene Walther & Mark Angel “Source Code DNA EP” Impact Mechanics – TECHNO
Source Code DNA is collaboration between Rene Walther and Mark Angel, who have been on fire over the past few months. This Four-track EP is no exception with thick rhythms and a ton of funked-up flavor. Uncomplicated, rocking, minimal tech-house with lush undertones, smooth percussion, thick bass, head-bobbing, hard-driving percussion. All the tracks are tight with jackin' stabs and a simply massive tension-building break down. Highly recommended!

Pre-Release Date: 12/29/2009
General Release Date: 1/19/2010

SCREC018 – Recon 22 “Crosshairs EP” Solar Cathedral – TECHNO
Solar Cathedral Recordings proudly debuts Minneapolis' Recon 22 by signing the Crosshairs EP for their imprint's 18th release. With a catalog of music that approaches the dance floor from a slew of different angles this American techno label has been keeping its supporter's on their toes by delivering tunes that sound absolutely nothing like anything they've previously released. Since their launch in 2007 SCREC has consistently maintained an unsuspecting formula & this 3 tracker is delivered with the same malicious intent.

"S & M" is a Huntemann'esque burner that's stripped down to the basics rendering itself as the perfect late night/early morning tool laced with sexy vocal stabs & drifting sounds that captivate & hypnotize while "Centipede" turns up the heat with a ripping bass heavy synth line that is guaranteed to set off even the most timid of rooms. "Bad Activity" seems to combine the energy & personality of both "S & M" & "Centipede" with a twist that's palatable for a broad audience of DJ's, producers & listeners from all walks of techno.


MIZ042 – Various Artists “ZumoBeatz: 2009 Review” Mizumo Music – ELECTRO HOUSE
With 40 releases and 100 artists & remixers, 2009 was a strong and comprehensive year for Mizumo Music. This compilation is a selection of both the label's top picks as well as the favorites of the artists, DJs and followers of Mizumo Music for 2009.


DFD021 – e:machinery “Against The World” Design Forms – TECHNO
Against the world is a hybrid of a thought produced by emachinery. It states there are only a few things that matter in this battle; it is you, the dance floor and the dj against the world..... With builds and synth tweaks that are sure to drop jaws ATW takes you on an adventure, you will sure not forget. Remixes by Anthony Steel, Phase and Jonra.

PP018 – Gabriel Boni “Satisfaction” Prosthetic Pressings – TECHNO

At the tender age of 23, Brazilian born Gabriel Boni has been on a meteoric rise since stepping into the deep ocean of electronic music back in 1998. As head of the incredible iNminimax Records and with his skills as a DJ (recently voted one of the top DJs in Brazil) he shows no signs of slowing down. For this 18th release on Prosthetic, Gabriel has provided us with a peak time techno jam he likes to call Satisfaction and while the original can stand on it's own, we've enlisted the aid of two up and coming artists to provide their interpretations. First up is Droid Recording artist and Drumcell cohort Audio Injection who has taken the original, completely deconstructed it and rebuilt a MONSTER of a remix which just may knock some clubs off their foundations. Rounding out the package is Italy's own Tony Vallini whose skills in the production seat are clearly evident when you listen to his mix. This thing takes on a life of its own. Just make sure you have the strength to hold on for the ride.

DJ Support from: Laurent Garnier, Hernan Cattaneo, Noir

This looks like a good year for A-Squared Muzik and 2010 will be a good one for sure. Next on the decks is a good friend of ours "Inert" from the country of Bulgaria. He brings the heat with a huge acid rocker called "It Depends" remixed by Angel Alanis and Jason Patick. Both brought some nice minimal house and minimal techno business. Jake Childs was called into action and he delivered a hot techno stompin' remix. As an added bonus Inert threw in 2 amazing techno rockers "Chink A Jingle" and "Reikpeuk" to make this an not to be missed release... Make sure to look out for Inert's second EP on A2 "Proekt 36" with Monoman and Angel Alanis Remixes.

HEJ00D – Corbin Davis “Time Shift” Hej Records – Minimal/TECHNO
Corbin Davis, a veteran DJ/Promoter who chiseled his mark throughout history in Detroit’s prominent techno scene, continues to do so by unleashing his amazing production skills. His track Time Shift is a collage of three dimensional sounds that swish through the depths of the audio canvas. Hypnotic synths grow and twist around the drums as they chug behind a solid bass kick and stretched out vocal trippiness. This one has the perfect balance of funk and drive.

Kero, Detroit Underground label guru, delivers a nasty electro-techy-experimental fusion entitled the Time Shit Remix. Saturated with dirty bass and electrified giltchy percussion, it warps your mind with stellar sound design while the ass end seriously makes your ass move.

John Overfiend drops a dark rework with droning segments of the original mesmerizing keyboards driven by a deep heavy bass. He uniquely contorts the time shift vocal with otherworldly effects while synths subtly weave together, evolving into a work of art.

Punisher (Detroit) strips it down with tiny fragments of the original keys and tones echoing over a thick rubbery bass line. Infused with shuffled tribal percussion, shakers and almost insect like micro flutters to create infectious movement.

DTX057 – Bear Who? “The Beat Box Remixed” Dust Traxx Chicago – HOUSE
Bear Who? That man behind international hit "Fix My Sink" which hit the UK billboard & BBC radio charts for 13 straight weeks, brings his next HUGE collection of future hits entitled "The Beat Box Remixed" to the Chicago based house label Dust Traxx, which in the course of 10 years has managed to release some of the biggest cuts in house music today. "The Beat Box Remixed" is a collection of "futuristic" digital-only remixes from a collection of some of today's hottest artists including Paul Johnson, Gene Farris, Blakkat, Swirl People, Vernon & Dacosta and several others. It's seduction without romance, penetration without pretense, this is the future sound of hip hop with a house edge, let's face it "sweat" (aka sex) sells and that is exactly what you'll get here.

IM039 – Bas Mooy “Like A Virgin EP” Impact Mechanics – TECHNO
Like a Virgin EP from the US-based Impact mechanics label. Bas Mooy kicks things off with chunky beats, glitchy analog stabs and a big, round fat bottom end - just the way we like it! This release brings us the immensely talented Boris Ross, Virgil Enzinger and Impact owner Submerge transplant all these talented artist with there drop dead stunning re-rub of Like a Virgin and you have a hit. You have to love the glitchy, clicky, grinder from this release. Like a Virgin is a collaboration between Dubfire, meets Richie Hawtin. The entry here is a simple, minimal techno bomb, complete with subtle rhythms, heavy bassline and a ton of underlying tension. Quality release that will please the hard and minimal crowds alike, this is an amazing track ready to do work in your peak hour sets.

SB003 – Eskimo Twins “Red Triangle EP” Street Beats – ELECTRO HOUSE
We're really excited about this release, and pleased to have Eskimo Twins on board - a talented duo from Leeds who are making some big waves in the scene. When I first heard lead track Red Triangle it instantly reminded me of certain records that got me into dj'ing & dance music in the first place - I can hear elements of classic tracks like Bambaata's Planet Rock, Hashim's Al Naafiysh and Cybotron's Clear...the pioneering electro sound of the 80's, the Street Sounds Era. Red Triangle...a record for breakdancers & nu-wave ravers in equal measures, and we love it.

On the flipside, Insidious grabs you by the throat and gives you a swift kick in the goolies, a heavy-ass rock n rave track (as much as i hate to use that phrase). Eskimo Twins write fantastic hooks & melodies, dark and sometimes off-key & spooky, but it just works. To me this track screams Justice beats with Queens of the Stone Age vocal & melody...praise indeed. Remixes come from another fast-rising electro startlet in the shape of Jo Kira, who takes elements of Red Triangle and turns out a firing tech-houser with phat tribal drums and bags of B.O.U.N.C.E...one for the Space terrace. Insidious gets a right rollocking big-room makeover from Mr Reliable also known as Hostage...someone who has been on our radar and doing good things for several years now...Booom.

Eskimo Twins can be seen playing live up & down the UK and in Ibiza throughout summer. Also look out for further productions on the new Wax:On label and Pieces of Eight Records.

Radio / Club DJ support from:
Zane Lowe - “Love the Insidious record!”
Annie Mac - “Hostage & Jo Kira mixes in my club sets, great stuff!”
