Aroy Dee – Beauty & Life [MOS014]
Label boss Aroy Dee signs for his already 8th release on his own MOS Recordings label. The track ‘Beauty’ reminds his label’s first release, a basic dreamy melodic house track. On the b-side we find man of the moment Rabih Beaini aka Morphosis dropping a heavy remix. Hot on the heels of his praised ‘What Have We Learned’-album takes his dark dusty ‘Cabinet’-remix all things in perspective.
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.

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.
Volta Cab – Running Man / Motion Map [TS001T]

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.
C.C. – Sound Carrier 2 [SC02Y]
Sankt Goran – Slobban [GORAN001]
Sankt Goran presents a old Swedish release that has been released as promo only in 1999. Its a release called Slobban by a late 90’s trio of Jens Johansson, Peter Gustafsson and Carl Magnus Ernström from Falun in the woods of Dalarna. Almost classic Detroit Techno tracks with some jazzy influences from these guys that have been playing around and tweeking their Deep Bass Nine, TB-303, Korg DW8000 and Yamaha DX7 & DX10, sprinkling some samples on top with the Casio FZ-10M since 1994.

Juergen Junker – Unhampered By Regulations Vol. 1 [NR010]
A few years have passed and Neurhythmics resurfaces after like-minded souls decided to bring it back. Juergen Junker returns with a 3 track 12” that stems from a live-set concept he created over the last few months. Raw as you like, it takes a distinct bow towards the earlier days of the windy city.
