Mark Du Mosch – Cold Sweat EP [CD006]
Rotterdam’s legendary disco-house producer Mark Du Mosch presents his debut release for Cyber Dance Records in the shape of the Cold Sweat EP. Consisting of five outstanding tracks that take us from the near-italo disco bliss of Now Or Never to the classic Dutch lo-fi electro sounds of Revenger, on to the searing intensity of The System and the title track then rounded off beautifully with the deep chi-house vibes of Satical, this is not an EP to be missed. Already getting rotation plays on Intergalactic FM and called by Moustache label impresario David Vunk “one of the best techno records of the year”, we can’t speak highly enough of this totally rocking record.

Ben Rymer – La Trinciatrice [ARCO13]
Serge Santiago’s Arcobaleno imprint ends 2009 with an excellent Italo inspired EP from Ben Rymer. Ben is ex of The Fat Truckers – you remember, they’re the Sheffield-based Brit electroclash band who wrote tracks about cheap motorbikes, import-export business and multiplex cinemas. He was also part of Gucci Soundsystem, who have released tunes on Bugged Out and DFA and who promoted the now legendary London club-night Druzzis. Most recently, Rymer has joined the Disco Bloodbath crew, London’s finest connoisseurs of only the best cosmic, disco music, and set up the Channel 83 imprint with fellow Bloodbather Damon Martin. Meanwhile, on this 12″ we have the “La Trinciarice” (meaning ‘The Shredder’). The ‘Main Mix’ is an epic, heavy yet cosmic journey into space. The ‘Dream Dub’ is a floating dream sequence with mid-way battle and an ending that slowly floats off…
$tinkworx live @ Public Assembly 12/10/09
$tinkworx, a.k.a. JT Stewart, grew up in rural upstate New York in the Albany area. Being the son of an infamous record collector; Mike Stewart (to this day operating one of the highest regarded rare record shops in the world), music was constantly heard in the Stewart home. JT decided he wanted to try to make some electronic music. Luckily he received a vintage analog synthesizer (a Roland JX8P) as a gift from his parents. He acquired a cheap drum machine and more pieces of equipment and started making songs. He sent them to his favorite labels, and received overwhelmingly responses from Morgan Geist (Metro Area) at his Environ label, and from Russ Gabriel (Ferox). But having only cheap recording equipment and little money, it would be a while before any $tinkworx material being released.

Garcon Taupe / Legowelt – Split LP Series #4 [NM039]
With smashing contributions by electro lord Legowelt from dirty brown The Hague and bleep addict Garçon Taupe from the bourgeois slums of Amsterdam, Narrominded presents the fourth installment in its renowned Split LP Series. Both sides of this Split LP comprise a whole EP in length, and the contributions have in common that they are both deeply rooted in electro music. Side one brings Garçon Taupe – wittenburg ep with some Commodore, amiga influenced electonica with a touch of acid. Split side is for Legowelt – land rovers in astrophysics ep. 4 tracks in the well known Legowelt style… West Coast disco, electro jack shizzle.
Lowtec – Angstrom [PF008]
Since the 90’s Lowtec is a reliable source for good deep techno tracks. And this time its no different … probably the tempo is a bit slower then 10 years ago… but the quality went up. Together with his Workshop release probably our favorite Lowtec sofar.
