A pioneer of the fidget sound drops this two tracker featuring the tracks "PINBALL" and "BARK OF A DEMON DOG." Plenty of bump on this record, mixed with wonky synths and clean shuffled rhythms. The stuff you want to drop to make the kids scream.
HOT CHIP - Touch Too Much- Kollektiv Turmstrasse Remix
You know you're always going to get a heavy remix package when Hot Chip put out a newie and 'Hold On' is no exception. Switch weighs in with not one but two fierce bangers before Mock & Toof deep things out nicely on the flip. Disc two brings Berlin-resident Ewan Pearson in on the A side with an...
Gray-area repro, including vocal and instrumental versions. "Reissue of Cybotron's 1984 electro classic 'Techno City.' A classic piece of early 80's electro that is one of the legendary Detroit producer Juan Atkins' first recording projects. It's a beautiful piece...
Toronto-based Tomas Jirku introduced his variant of the popular Berlin minimal-techno sound via Montreal labels No Type (an MP3-oriented Internet concern), and Alien8. Jirku's reliance upon digital splices to disrupt SEQUINS's gridwork of beats and basslines aligns him with the "click-house"...

JELO, ME & JOHN - Due To Love (Ryan Riback's Overdue Remix)
"Due to love", co-produced with Me&John and featuring vocalist Kevin Drew from Broken Social Scene. This track isn't your regular JELO affair. A hooky vocal and progressive musical chords over tough tech house and rock infused drums gives this a big room feel. Teaming up this time with studio...
Who could have forseen that 2 piano players and a drummer would be enough to change the way music will be listened to in the future. These guys could be as important as BATTLES. Includes KRAZY BALDHEAD (ED BANGER) and SPITZER remixes.
Proper "wow-factor" techno, K2 number eleven is serious, classic Kompakt-style minimal techno, the kind you just don't want to take off the deck. "Part Time" opens the A side with a bubbling middle region, that somehow sounds like the missing link between Tiësto and Sähkö. Hervé Ak is a...

A1: Kevin Saunderson - "The Human Bond (Claude Vonstroke Rave Recognize Rave Mix)" "It was great to be asked to do this. Originally, I wanted to do something really quirky and funky with the strange vocal in 'Human Bond,' one of my favorite old tracks. I tried a few times but I couldn't really...
Legendary group known for their 1987 "Acid Trax" with an unr eleased studio session of raucous acid house. Even though the group released only a few tracks they were instrumental in defining the Chicago acid house sound.
The opening track on this exceptionally good 4-tracker from Merck's offshoot label "Narita" is one of those rare dancefloor destroyers that crops up every so often, and not nearly often enough. "Snaffle" obliterates everything in its way and in its wake with a rampant nod to Detroit, breaks used...
