“Promenade Eleven” is a reverse-engineered remake of “Night On The Promenade” which originally appeared in limited quantities on the New Religion label in 2006 under the name “Super-A-Loof”. Promenade Eleven (Original Mix) adhere’s faithfully to the original arrangement but has been re-recorded and totally remixed from the ground-up for a modern club sound. Further to this release are two vastly different remixes – from label owner Kirk Degiorgio and The Third Man.
It’s time for the first podcast from the new year and we bring you a very special session from a vinyl devoted person. Lektronikumuz, Remus Miron in his real name, is a true defender and keeper of the vinyl, one of the last of his kind in Romania. Remus is playing exclusively vinyl and he is, in my opinion, the only dj still playing regularly quality Detroit techno in Romania.
Special gift for the end of 2O1O.
Was time to thanx the fans and friends for the long years of true support !
You still support the remixes of Soul Designer’ Soul is back as well as the “Genesis of a deep sound”‘s album on Fine art, and of course the e.p on R&S.
Wanted to experience a direct link between you & me…nothing like labels, distribution, records shop or music download website ….just the music and you….Enjoy ! Fabrice Lig

Lee Holman strikes down with some seriously deep rooted techno and Mike Dehnert comes with a remix.
New release on Logos Recordings. “Forbidden Planet” from Norman Chung includes three classic melodic Detroit influenced tracks in the spirit of the Macedonian label.
Duplex delivers the first release on the new sublabel of Frustrated Funk, Harbour City Sorrow.
Stunning new EP room the master of the true minimal groove. Infectious drum pads and an acidic twist render the title track unbeatable. The thundering kick and warehouse style acid line on ‘Power To Prophet’ will add energy to any dancefloor. ‘Clash’ is a nod to the old skool Chicago minimal techno.
“Glob” feels like something new, with jazzy, sometimes glitchy bells slowly climbing changing beats and rich bass drops. Remixes from Ben Klock, Claude von Stroke and Kenny Larkin.
Sexy and utterly deadly techno from Vangelis and Vidal Vargas aka Raíz, backed with a serious edit from label head Silent Servant aka John Mendez. The duo’s original mix is a stealthy Latin shuffler offsetting slinky 909 percussion with a bumbum bass slide that makes our pasty asses want to dance. On the flip Silent Servant reinforces the Latin kink with a bronzed bass pound but still manages keeps the subtle shuffle intact.
