Ten years ago Mijk Van Dijk Ableton-crafted a seminal mix for the closing release of the legendary Hamburg-based Techno-/Trance-imprint Superstition Records which included bits and pieces taken of 74 (!!!) essential tunes from the labels back catalogue including anthems like Marmion "Schöneberg", Jens "Loops & Tings", Mijk's Magic Marble Box "Spring (The Wildlife)", Fred Gianelli "1st Premonition (DBX Remix)", Humate "3.1", D-Saw "Track 10:30", early works by Steve Bug and many others, all amalgamated into one storming journey through the labels - and overall Techno / Trance - history. News have it that this sweet little gem will be available again - a decade after its initial release - on the digital circuit from October 14th, 2013 onwards. We do approve of that.

With the release of the „Verbatim EP“ produced by Pirate Audio Soundsystem-founder, Spiral Tribe-member and 69db co-founder James Hawley a.k.a Jack Acid the Paris-based BLIM Records is back for fall 2013, once again clearly emphasizing on the musical change that has been taking place since the labels relaunch.

With five tracks coming from the deepest US underground we are taken to the realm of raw, uncut and well experimental Techno grindings that – although not crossing the 130bpm mark – waves goodbye to the so called New Wave Of Techno and simply kicks the punters ass straightaway with dark layers of distortion, trainwrecking MonoAcid processing, grinding, dubbed out madness and well-tripping beats that take electronic music back to its very original habitats and rebrand the term of Electronic Body Music for the reason of being a 100% physical experience when blasting through a proper underground sound system.

Think of dark, rotten basements, abandoned industrial spaces and illegal raves taking place on 24th century battlefields – that's what the „Verbatim EP“ is all about. Can you take it?

Taken from their latest album "Sisyphus" and perfectly timed for early fall NO MORE have recently unveiled a quite autumnal video on youtube that comes alongside their partly Folk'ish and Campfire Indie infused song "Le Girafes Sur Mer". Just sit back and relax....

There's absolutely no chance to not love New Order's "Blue Monday". And it's great to see what Greg Wilson did to that classic back in 1984 with just two turntables and a crappy mixer. This man is legend.

Hamburg's finest bass export BRAZED are back with a new release on Audiolith catering a massive remix package including 5 full on and hanseatic remixes of their tune "Low Orbit". Providing huge reworks for the Drum'n'Bass, Dubstep and 4/4 massive out there BRAZED are killing soundbwoys with deadly subs and providing some of the illest, uber-compressed brockout shit available these days. 100% recommended.

It's hot outside so it's time to spread some summer'ish vibes in 'ere. Defo not the biggest fan of Skrillex as his midrange assaults taken the Dub off Dubstep but in this case it all makes sense. Never played this one out in public although I do own the 12" but despite that it's a killer tune for a reason. Large up.

And no, we're not starting a discussion on the so-called EDM-scene - not only because I used that term more than ten years ago to describe the wideranged musical spectrum I had planned to release via Intrauterin Recordings, although I had things in mind totally different from what's described as EDM today (quote from discogs: "Established in 1999 by Hamburger Drum'n'Bass DJ & producer baze.djunkiii as a vinyl outlet for EDM in general, followed by a now defunct sister label Intrauterin Tapes focusing on Drum'n'Bass, UK Garage & DarkJungle mixtape culture") but because no matter how crappy, cheesy and non-underground the EDM of now is, it is an echo of what was once called the utopian vision of a raving society. Electronic music went into the mainstream of pop culture now and if Techno and all these things hadn't happened in the nineties Mainstream Pop would defo sound different from what it sounds like now. And that's what ppl tend to forget easily. One might not like what happened but in the very end EDM is the result of our revolution. So are smartphones, 3D motion pictures, the use of certain fonts, fashion trends and much more, even the use of the internet and worldwide communication can be knotted to Techno as it was in these days 20 years ago that the idea of one global tribe was put into the minds of what became masses in the years after. 

We succeeded, kind of, although most of us had dreams that were way beyond what todays society is able to fulfill. And those who still dream those dreams are well welcome to join our tribe. We're here, building the future.
