Alrighty tighty, Siberschlaefer has put up a new mix this month. It's a live recording from one of the Audioplastix nights. I haven't even listened to it yet but I've yet to hear a bad mix from this character so I'm going to go out on a limb and say "It's probably good".

Supplied Info:

Location: ALKA Gelände - Altenburg
Party: Audioplastix VI
Date: 18.03.06
Lineup: Subhead // Siebenschlaefer // Recall 8 & Carsten Rechenberger // Perry // Soapespierre // AIP // and more
Länge: 72:12 min
Größe: 66,12 mb
Qualität: 128 kbps - mastered

Entgegen unserer Erwartungen sollte diese Nacht eine gute Nacht werden. Wie von Zauberhand füllte sich bei Beginn meines Sets die Tanzfläche in einer rasenden Geschwindigkeit mit Tanzwütigen. Es brach eine für die enorm große Location sagenhaft gute Stimmung aus, so dass es mir nicht schwer viel meine ständig steigende Laune in Form eines netten Sets zu verpacken. Greetz to Schmiddi, Mart und Holzi.

And yeah, I'd usually attempt a translation of that for you as practise for my German but there are far too many words in there I don't recognize yet...so everyone is on their own with this one.

I have a bad habit. It's buying too many records. What makes my bad habit even worse is I do silly things like buy doubles all the time. Yes, I know, the insanity. Sometimes two copies of a record bring me joy but sometimes the record is good enough to stand on it's own. These records are like (I think that means they're good).

For Sale All these titles are new and unplayed by me. Some are sealed. Some may have been played at the record store they came from. I promise they all play fine though. if not I'll take it back from you and give your money to you with a smile.

Unique 3 - 'The Theme' Remix Competition

Fancy being a part of techno history? Poke Records, Furthur and Bleep are offering you the chance to remix Unique 3's seminal 'The Theme'. One of the earliest British techno/house records, 'The Theme' burst out of the north-east in the late eighties a collision of bleeps, bass and attitude that was the catalyst for half the music we know and love today. An inspiration to the founders of Warp Records, the track was an influence on everyone from LFO to The Chemical Brothers to Goldie and was voted no.1 record of all time by the DJ team at the legendary Hacienda.

All the parts you need to remix 'The Theme' can be downloaded from Bleep HERE, the winning entries will be pressed up and released as on two twelve inches this Summer and will be available as high quality downloads from Bleep.

Please send completed entries, along with your name, email and a contact telephone number to:
The deadline for entries is April 28th.

It has a few newer Wonky Techno blips in the tracklist but most of it is older stuff from the mid to late 90's. In other words, it's a good mix to stuff into your ear holes.

From the amount of activity that is obviously going on at Chez Feinwerk you'd think there is a massive sleep deprivation study being performed.

I'm not sure who Spinks is. The moniker is familiar but that just may be some nerdy message board familiarity. Who ever he may be, he has cooked up a pretty good electro EP. None of that wishy, washy sissy mae stuff you hear about. All three tracks have balls.

The Wee DJs has a new EP coming out on Cynthia Stern's -- currently on fire -- label "Input-Output". "Wee Free" should be available for public consumption by mid-april, but as with all things, delays happen. I'm saying don't get your panties in a bunch if it's a week or two late. (!)

"input - output inc strikes again!

this time with edinburgh mad man, the wee djs. after his numerous releases on labels such as penalty, scsi-av & gassoline he now brings you 6 tracks of hard n fucked up electro at its best.

As I become more and more of a Q&S junkie my neck gets sorer and sorer. Too much head bobbin' while listening I think.

Volker played on Funkwerk Radio this Saturday just past (March 18th) and I asked him if he would record the show for me (and...you collectively). Well since he's such a good guy...I have it!

It's so good it's grrrreat.

Here are some photo's to peruse from a recent night with Jason Leach Live

Bass Invaders Home
Bass Invaders have Tubejerk, Carsten Rechenberger and Recall 8 parties in the works...they know what's going on !

Yesterday I wrote a bit about the newest DJ Mahatama and Quick & Smart record on Error Records. It was release number one, but that was all I knew at the time.

Lucky for me I speak with Volker peridocially and he let me in on the Error Records goods..

Error Records is a new label run by Torsten Kanzler.

"Das neue Killaz-Sublabel "ERROR" geht Ende Februar an den Start. Es wird sich vorwiegend den schrägen und abgefahrenen Tönen widmen - nicht etwa Brighton, sondern schön stompiger, abgefahrener, aber vor allem tanzbarer Techno mit schrägen coolen Sounds."

Alright bear with me. I'm still learning German so my translation will be weaker then my grandma's knees.

"The new Killaz sub-label "ERROR" gets it's start at the end of February. It will be dedicated to hard and stompy sounds, not brighton but still very danceable."

That's what I get out of it anyway. Feel free to correct me.

I totally flaked on this one. He put up his first list of records for sale like 2-3 weeks ago and I forgot to post it. So some of it is gone. The good stuff probably. He has recently put a second batch up though so check it out.

Si Begg Second Hand Records
The two files/batches are available in txt and xls so knock yourselves out!

Fresh off of the presses! I got this in the mail just this week. I don't know why, but information on it is scarce. This day and age everything is already in Discogs by the time it's out. Yet this release I had to submit myself.

DJ Mahatma "On A Dancehell Trip" Error 01
Andi's Intro
A (dick and hard tree pigs)
B (sick and dart free chicks)
C (stick and fart helix)
D (quick and smart remix)
Volker's Outro

This release is worth buying for Volker's track alone. Quick & Smart does it again. Mahatma's tracks aren't bad at all though. Just much faster than I ever play. Slow down Andi!! Faster isn't harder, harder is harder!

The new label Schallbau has released another of their Eye Q Essentials. Written by Ralf Hildenbeutel who as many may know was (co-)production on most if not all of Sven Vath's early work.

Earth Nation "Red Engine" Schallbau [Eye Q: The Essentials]
A1: Red Engine (Mix 2006)
B1: Red Engine (Steady Motion Mix by Johannes Heil)

I'm not too fond of the Heil mix. It's a watered down version of the original it seems. Doesn't quite pack as much Oomph. But goddamn does the original sound good. Tons of fun to play and cut with.

Fantastic mix from Lory D

Altern 8, Set Up System, Yazoo, Leo Anibaldi, Circuit Breaker, Armando and tons of more old acid hosue and techno.

Bit of a slow download but be patient. Also, if it goes offline someone please let me know. I'll put it up on my server if it does. I probably have more bandwith than they do anyway. (bleep@isoprax.com)

I spot tracks by Vogel, Landstrumm, Bobby Roberto, And a bunch of other stuff I have and recognize but my mind is dull right now. Just listen.

"Alright there,

So just got confirmation that i have a 12" release coming out on Mike Paradinas's Planet Mu record label... Really pleased with this one as it places my recent studio work right in the mix with up-to-date Grime, Dubstep, Jungle and Ragga rudeness.....

Tracks to be released are Kids Wake Up and Harlem Shoot Me... you can hear them on Myspace"

New Landstrumm on Mike Paradina's label? What What!

The whole reason I run this site, host the audio, keep up with the news and bascially watch my time drain away (don't worry it's worth very little) is so that the artists who make the music I enjoy, can keep making it and preferably be paid to do so.

I mention this because lately I seem to be attracting the sort of people who aren't shy about emailing me requests for songs off of the records I own or even a rip of a few of my CD's. That's great that they want the music, but I would feel much better if you were willing to shell out the bucks to actually own it. I have more than enough recorded Dj and Live sets hosted for you to get a full belly. Most, if not all, of the sets I host are known about by the person/people who performed it/them and there are no issues with them being shared.

So, in the future keep these points in mind:

1. I will not rip you a song from one of my records
2. I will not rip you a copyrighted CD
3. If I'm hosting a set of yours and for some reson didn't clear it with you, let me know. I'll remove it immediately.
4. If there is a song, record, cd that you would like but can not find it. Ask me for help. I've been buying records a long time now and am very successful in helping people track stuff down.

As of today the newest Feinwerk is in stores. I had my copy added real last minute styles to today's order. Can't wait to get it!

edit: Ok, I was wrong. it's not in stores yet. Somehow I got a copy mailed ot me though. Apparently someone liked me. (thanks!?)

I mentioned the ostcoderockerz site last week I think. Possibly the week before that. Who knows. I'm not willing to scroll down far enough to look.

Anyway, They have a new promo mix available on their site now. It's put together by some chap who calls himself "Helix". I grabbed it this weekend and I finally listened to it today. Good. It turned out to be just what I was in the mood for. Some slightly wobbly, tech-housey, grungy, assortment of basslines and chirps. It floats around the 130 BPM mark and has nothing screaming in your ear or distorting for the sake of it. Good choice of tunes.

I've been a huge fan of Aux88 for as long as I've been a fan of electronic music. I even have my first two electro mixtapes still. They are where I got my introduction to Detroit-Electro. I can also blame them for being a snob about any other type.

Aye-You-Ex is in the place

First time for everything right? Yep! This is the first time I've stumbled across a set from Der Totmacher. Dirty.

Rune has a studio mix on his site I think should be known about as well...

Two old Robert Armani acid tracks, originally released on ACV in 1992, are about to re-see the light of day. Pacou has cooked up two remixes to round off the EP and I *think* this label is Pacou's or at least one of his buddy's...who knows and/or cares really. What matters is this record is about to make some golden gems available to those who didn't know about them or missed them.

Tonight's show was 7 different shades of fun. For me anyway.

Neil Landstrumm has been a busy boy lately. A few weeks ago he put his Happy Monday remix online and just recently the Joy Division remix has been floated out as well. Just today he's announced that those two tracks are to be released on his label in the near future. A Foctory Records remix EP? I'm giddy with deight.

"This from the forthcoming Factory Records remix 12" from Scandinavia.

"Heres probably the best version I have made of my current live set_35 minutes long so you dont get too bored.. Recorded properly with a Motu i am happy with it... better than all distorted and hummy from some fekked club tape deck.. Sums up my love of early techno, bleep, grime,acid dub horrror and electro spaz beat in all its forms. With a bit of rave thrown in for good measure. Sorted."

You can also listen to a cover of Joy Division's "She's Lost Control" that Neil has done if you visit his myspace page here

A new project from underground producers of the London techno scene. Shedding the more commercial, hypnotic and loop based trappings of techno for an altogether darker and less predictable sound, the record begins with strained, metallic scrapings, and an evil spoken vocal, and eventually crashes into a ritualistic, shamanic combination of dark sound scapes and tribalistic electronic percussion that continues as a unifying theme for each track. The journey through the 4 tracks on offer is like being dragged through some sinister purgatory from a Lynch movie. Heavy, industrial machine beats, bone shaking bass, epic, atmospheric melodies, and dark ambience charged with an aura of fear and despair. All this is accompanied by a narrative prose spoken by some tortured and weary half-man, half-devil. The feel of this concept release is further enhanced by the inclusion of limited edition art prints of works by the composers on the record.

[This record really reminds me of the dark electro cari lekebusch is known for at times. Metallic and clangy with some oddball vox throughout]

Speedy J isn't ordinarily someone I have any interest in these days. But I do appreciate the work he's done in the past. On that note Here's a video file recorded by a friend of mine who recently went to see him and brough along his trusty camcorder.

Speedy J Live in Toronto [video]

This video was recorded by Vergil! Check out his site for detroit inspired music with a Toronto spin.Vergil / lx7

Fin Phranklin, one of the merry men involved with the last Miditonal records has some tracks of his own making on his site. I suggest you download them and then promptly put them in your ears. They are quite the same style as the stellar "Yo Wannit Bad, Boy?" on the Miditonal EP but they are still on the same level of production and have that certain something to them. You can still grab a live set of his too, although I think I'm going to see about getting something newer for us to hear.
Fin Phranklin

Bass Kittens! From what I remember of the early Bass Kitten stuff it was very Aux 88/Direct Beat influenced. Now it's definitely taken a turn towards the busy yet controlled end of the electro spectrum. A more "nu-school" electro. Anyway, I hate describing music so just go check out the track that ar e available on the offical BK website.
Bass Kittens

I'm only mentioning this because of Dearborn. He's been a little more hit or miss the last 2-3 years for me, compared to his heydays but, I still give him a more than fair shot. I bet this one will rock.

The infamous German record label Eye Q is back! Sort of!

"Schallbau Rec. has been launched to develop new exciting projects and artists and to re-release the huge Eye Q back catalogue in special editions."

So although it's a different label, it's going to be used to re-release old EYE Q special editions. That's super wicked. I notice that this time around Sven isn't involved. Not to be mean but, that's probably a good thing.

First two vinyl releases:
Brainchild "Synfonica" (original and rother remix)
Virtual Symmetry "See You" (original and transtribute express mix)

www.schallbau.de

Alrighty. Yesterday, well, last night I had planned on heading downtown and actually going out for social purposes. This is quite rare. Whenever I go out I like having a few CD's on me to give the couple of guys who do ask for them. "Superfan" is always thirsty for more. If only Superfan could be multiplied a thousand times over the world would be over-run with zealous Techno Fans. Anyway, None of you know Superfan (not many can handle him anyway) but at least you get to hear the mix i tossed together last night.

Read on for full tracklisting and download linkage...

Of course I missed the live stream. Isn't that how it always happens? I find out a week in advance that Jerome is playing on an internet radio station and I get excited. I then proceed to forget about it until the next day. Well it's the next day and I suddenly remember about the stream. I bounce my head off my desk a few times as punishment for my forgetfulness.

It's a damn good thing I have oodles of spare time. I went and did a quick check and found that yes, as usual, the stream was saved and archived. I should not download it just to further punish myself. Who am I kidding? I'm as masochistic as celery.

Grab this and rub it all over your private regions. Jerome would appreciate that.

Ok, here's the skinny, as found on Cristain's No Future Message Board (Check my links). I don't know the other guys involved in this project but Siebenschlaefer I've posted about in the past. I love his mixes so the least I could do is promote his latest endeavour.

[Bear with me my German is as shaky as my polka...but at least I'm learning the German]

"Ostcoderockerz" from what I gather is a Booking Agency based in Germany and has seven Dj's/Producers involved. They all play or create their own take on the Brighton sound, the wonky bleep bleep sound! So far, so good.

Anway, I don't really have anything to say aside from check em out. They have some short bio's for each artist on the page as well as a set to download in the audio section. Stop by, leave a guestbook message and tell em Murky sent you.

I'm not sure if this is something that the average joe is interested in. I've never let that stop me before though.

There was a lull in the release schedule for Don't due to distribution woes. I take this announcement to mean the woes are no longer.

TSR "Onion Tied to my Belt" Don't Recordings 09

All I know is the title. I'm sure there are a few tracks involved though. While we're all waiting for more info to be made public, busy yourselves with all this:

I'm not sure how I missed this one but I did. From what I've been able to dig up it's run by Chip Tronic. That's all I have for you so far. I do however have the first release. Yes, I have the first release and I enjoy it. A lot. It's kinda like Boogizm, that sorta mood and feel anyway. It definitely has a more tracky sequencing to it though. I don't say that in a bad way. I like tracky, especially when the track holds it's own.

Stonedwave

Check out the site, check out the first release in all it's seven white inches of glory.

The Italoboyz website makes me cringe. Seriously. If only I could find the link again I'd prove to you what (I hope) a sense of humour can inflict upon people. That aside. This record the boyz have put out is excellent. It seems to be slow at the moment with regards to the wonky stuff so I'm glad that Einmaleins dropped this beaut on us.

I don't really pay a whole lot of attention to this genre these days. I find it lost it's lustre two or three years back. Todd Bodine is one of the few guys doing it that I find pleasurable (his music that is although I bet he's a real sweel character too). Anyway, here's a live set of Todd's. Hope you all enjoy.
