Mike Dehnert – Oblique [CBS008]
Mike Dehnert follows up on his previous 2 Clone Basement releases, with a selection of 4 tracks, that shows another side of Mike. Four tracks that reveal the more challenging side with some forward thinking techno tracks. Slightly slower paced as some of his recent works, and with only 1 out of 4 tracks having a straight kick in the complete track, he is placing emphasis on the rolling machine groove and the flow coming from sounds and effects.
Gerd – Time & Space [CBS006]
Release by Gerd on the Clone Basement Series with an old classic themed techno track he found on a dusty DAT tape while archiving some old recordings. Somehow a traditional techno track with metalic basslines, stellar string sounds and retro futuristic vocals with a classic theme… time & space. The original slower paced version did get an reshape/makeover that gives it a 2011 update that will be a standard record in the box for many! Remixers on duty are Rotterdam’s Duplex duo who are back in business and deliver two remixes.
Sascha Rydell – Marmonner [FW018]
New release on Fachwerk techno train from Sascha Rydell. On the A-side Sascha delivers a proper Berlin machine-techno track, undercooled, intense, heavy. On the B-side a surprisingly relaxed techno excursion with dubby hints of Detroit techno.

Humandrone – Yellow EP [WPHYELLOW]
We Play House with their limited series. A new artist from Japan called Humandrone a.k.a. Takaaki Shibuya, with his twist on jackin’ Chicago rhythms. A twist deeply melancholic, almost Detroit like, showing us that Chicago music can be both jackin and musical at the same time.
Arttu – Fear Diluted [PHP052]
Arttu aka Lump comes with two tracks of raw minimal music with an edge and unpredictable arrangements.
Ricardo Miranda – Floorwax [HHYR014]
Hour House is Your Rush is releasing an EP from Chicagoian Ricardo Miranda. ‘Floorwax’ urges us to do the damn thing, assuming that he leaves us no choice but to slam dance to this hypnotic acid work out. ‘Redline’ starts out with just drums and a pulsating acid line, but halfway through a utopian string line eases in and shows us the way to the promised land.
Benny Rodrigues – I Like Acid [BAO029]
Rotterdam’s Benny Rodrigues’ interpretation of acid house takes the form of ”I Like Acid”, and surely it sounds classic! Acid synth madness like in the old days but with an updated touch. ”Choice” hypnotic appeal will not get unnoticed on the floor, once again a track that finds its strength in the basic structure of its arrangement, effective drums patterns with a ”freakish” top line that carry the track into peak time. Steve Rachmad as ”Sterac” and Mike Dehnert are providing the remixes for ”I Like Acid”, to close the EP.
Atheus – Compile [SSCD009]
The latest release from Vancouver Island’s Silent Season imprint, “Compile,” collects ten compositions (nine previously available as vinyl-only releases) in CD form from Montreal’s Serge Collin under his Atheus moniker.
Not from Earth – The Origin EP [PRGDIG008]
The first release from Italian duo Not from Earth. Is a new project on Prologue with more deep ambient sounds.
Freund Der Familie & Phidias – Black Secret 1/2 [FDFRAW002]
“Black Street” is a nice spherical dubby techno track from Freund Der Familie & Phidias. The EP comes with a Sven Weisemann remix.
Mick Wills @ Robonacht, Champagneria (Berlin) 03.03.2011
“It’s been a while since the last podcast saw the light of day, so we would like to make it up to you, our fans and supporters with the first session that comes from Mick Wills, who has been with Nation for quite a while now, and even though he didn’t have the chance to shine with his productions yet, his Jock-Abilities are just as admirable.
This Session was recorded at Champagneria Berlin, in the heart of Kreuzberg, while Mick visited some friends of ours from a far away and haunted place, and they decided to throw a little shindig.
“Master of the Edit” Mick Wills dives deep into his record-box and fuses together a unique pastry of older and newer records, higher and lower, darker and lighter, Alpha and Omega!”

214 – Submanouvers [FR023]

Marco Zenker – Blue Air EP [ILIAN008]
Marco Zenker has his second record on Ilian Tape. “Invisible Shadows” its building up slowly and leads into a very open space – the perfect track to give the night another direction. “Remain Silent” goes down, you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne. Finally we have a tripping remix from Conforce. Its just free spirited, soulful and open minded.
