Already in 2009 Tribe Toolz released a first Acid Compilation full of tributes to the sound of the Roland TB-303. One year later they return with another 18 tracks celebrating Acid with all kind of flavors from chicago house over newskool acidlike bombs to classical acid house.

I agree. Acid will never die!

Marko Fürstenberg - "In Der Pappelei" (MP3)
Marko Fürstenberg - "Mimerlaven" (MP3)
Marko Fürstenberg - "Flüssige Reihe" (MP3)

I hyped this DubTechno release many times, I am sorry for that. But this classy DubTechno album by Marko Fürstenberg has to be promoted also here on Phlow-Magazine.com because it is still one the best DubTechno albums ever and one of the first netaudio longplayer which grabbed my attention from beginning to end.

"Gesamtlaufzeit" is so amazing because you travel together with the artist from music gig to music gig. For his album Marko Fürstenberg composed smooth rockin DubTechno-tracks along with calm ambientish songs. Some of the songs where produced while travelling through Germany. If you imagine how the musician sits in the train, looks out the window and sees all the trees, houses, landscapes flying by, the sound fits perfect. Also it's a perfect statement how you get sucked into techno...

A netaudio classic!

Isma Serrano - "She Is Electric" (MP3)
Isma Serrano- "Everything Is Alright" (MP3)
Isma Serrano- "Mi Eleccion" (MP3)

I like this album because it remains somehow calm, friendly and chilly. Nothing really spectacular hides between the patterns, no freaky sound experiments scrape your your. All but solid grooves and reflections of the past when techno still had this trancy flavor. When techno was more than minimal, when techno was still pure sound, when techno was friendly.

Just listen to a track like "She Is Electric". Have a seat on the rolling 808-elektro-rhythm and smile happy about those synthesizer sweeps. Than proceed and taste some of the sweet acid bleeps in "Processing". Yeah, right, that's classic DubTechno.

"Automatic Behaviour" is a true and solid album.

The Unique Matter delivers you with four tracks an insight of the russian soul of techno. My favorite track is "Dejaview Watchers", I just enjoy dubby techno from time to time. It's just a perfect sound to surf through the web. But the excellent fact of this EP remains: All tracks come with a different approach and give you an excellent release to use as a dj as well as enjoying it at home or your mp3 player.

Iky Que - "10msec" (MP3)
Frunk29 - "Alenkin Home" (MP3)
Feldmaus - "Put On A Magical Hood (Passage Version)" (MP3)
Vadim Lankov - "Impudence" (MP3)

On both "NetAudio Russia Compilations" you find in general three music genres: breakbeat-driven tracks, melodic techno and ambient tunes.

At first I thought, the compilators would have separated four to the floor-tracks from IDM from Ambient, but that's not the case.

The main idea of both compilations is to let the listeners explore the variety of electronic music done by musicians performing on the festival. And I have to say, both trips are just wonderful and fit well together.

You dive into dreamish IDM like "Rosolam (Novomix)" from moroza_knozova or breakbeats with vocals like "10msec" from Iky Que or more straight elektro like "Liquid Fur" from Stud.

On the more upfront side I adore especially two tracks which would best be described as poetic minimal techhouse. Give "Put On A Magical Hood (Passage Version)" by Feldmaus and "Alenkin Home" by Frunk29 a listen. Wonderful tunes, to dance in the morning hours to with your eyes shut of course. Truly extraordinay how Frunk29 weaves some jazzy flavor into his track.

But also DJs with a heart for more pushy grooves get something for their sets. Vadim Lankov knows how to give the bassdrum that adequate kick. He hands us two excellent tracks over. With "Lankov - secondsun" he explores minimal techno with some tricky shuffling and experimental sounds and "Impudence" is that rave tune, you need to heat up the dancefloor.

A really fantastic double-feature from Russia. Don't miss it!

Alec Troniq - "The Hills Ashore" (MP3)
Alec Troniq - "I'm the foolaloof (Tim Susa vs Jan Yang remix)" (MP3)

The soundquality of this production is very high, but we wouldn't have expected anything else from the Broque-labs. Alec Troniq is living in Dresden/Germany and this is his first release on Broque.

On his "AAA Efficiency" EP are remixes as well, that surely speak a different language, but they are funtional and fictional as well. Techno-lovers from all ages will love to heat the dancefloor with this sound. Poetic, playful, strong. Sometimes a little more like minimal house, sometimes a little more like lean techno. Sometimes a little more like listening to indie-rock. Does this make sense? Well, of course it does.

Henrik Jose "Possibilities" (MP3)

I truly love this slightly pathetic voice of Henrik Jose. I adore these little electronic experiments with sounds. And I simply get hooked by the frenetic flavor of "Possibilies". It's warm, enthusiastic and beautiful. It made my day.

The whole compilation called "hypocondriac" doesn't work for me in general. I skipped a lot of the tracks. To many different styles, sometimes to dark, sometimes just boring. There are only two more interesting songs to mention. One is called "jesus was a b-boy (makunouchi bento remix)" which is heavily inspired by the sound of Burnt Friedmann. It's a playful spoken-word-hip-hop-track. And give a listen to "koi"by Kyle Dawkins a simple but warm electronica track.

Sudio "Sonic Impact"
Sudio "Ion Funnel"

You may have a problem with music by Sudio, because he has problems himself to reduce his ideas, tricks and fun to play around technics. He can't stick to one idea or just one loop for one track. On the other hands, that's his strong part. You have to listen to his music more than once. And the more and more you listen, the more you get suck into his wonderland. And the more and more you know the twists coming around the next corner, you will love the complexity.

If you're a DJ, maybe these tracks ask to much to clubbers. It's like playing Future Sound of London where people demand Chemical Brothers. But I was always more the listening type of guy, so five stars for this one.

There is more to the tracks, that let the train keep rolling in. The name "Aufbruchstimmung (atmosphere of departure)" is clearly meant pragmatically. Don't hesitate - celebrate. Old wisdom like this, is about to happen once again. I visited some of the Modularfield-parties and can agree, that they mean it like this. Turn the volume up and let the things go through. Oeler is also working on live-sets.

As already mentioned, this is a compilation of various artists. Aleks from Zimmer Records told me, that he felt an itch in his fingers and wanted to make more compilations, just after doing mixes and compilations for other occasions and projects - for example the Cologne-Commons compilation. If we can expect more of this well done compilations in the future, than Zimmer will keep on growing into the "must have" direction.

My favorite track on "bonbon e.p." is the opener called "schwedische gardinen". The track has these bleeping sounds, we know from the early era of Bleep Techno. Along with some melodic chords this classic stomper builds up its magic slowly. Dedicated to the old school-science of techno Cie adds more and more percussive elements and last not least some trancy synth sweeps. Delicious. Just lift your hands at 3:28 :)

But don't miss "privileg" and "mike bob remix" either. While "privileg" closes this high-quality EP with some soothing sawtooth sounds "mike bob remix" sounds more futuristic and dubby. Thumbs up!

And than comes "percuss" a trancy groover with even more frenetic raise-your-hands-into-the-sky-potential. Let loose!

We live in an age of click and pick! Listeners turn true albums into a Download à la carte-Album where they pick only their favorites out of a list.

This is like standing in front of a Dali painting, taking out your scissor to cut out your most liked image. If you do this with an album you rip its heart out. OK, I have to acknowledge I do it often too because the album is weak.

But please don't do it to Rolanchos electronic trip where he takes you on a journey into his musical world. Slide from ambient tracks like "Andrea's Song" into a downbeat adventure like "Chica Hermosa (Robok Mix)" with mixed up beats on the left, a solid groove in the middle and a jazzy trumpet coming out of nowhere.

Enjoy trippy chill out music like "Fabuloso" or "Parque" and dive into shreddered IDM-ish beats like in "Calles De Papel".

Dsum "Liberdad (Original Mix)" (MP3)

While "Colores: Fluidos" opens Monofónicos with a compilation to the public which represents five artists, Dsum makes the first steps as a solo artist with his "Libertad EP". Both EPs deliver melodic House-Chords accompanied with beautfilul easy swinging percussions. Sometimes you feel like dancing on the rainbow. Somehow I got the impression Dsum likes Thomas Fehlmann and his extraordinary TechHouse-Tunes...

Especially the sweet "Liberdad (Original Mix)" track floats with its analogue jazz bassline like the setting sun into the sea. Easy, man! If you like it a little bit darker, check out the remix by Rat with some playful clickering percussions for a deeper TechHouse-approach.

If you hop over to the compilation, you discover some deeper house tunes like "Sublime" and more airy and classic dubtechno tunes like "Bermuda".  "Colores: Fluidos" fits perfect to sunny afternoons sitting around with friends eager to start into a fun club night.

Well, Techno. What a odd genre, equalizing cheap rave tunes and serious sound science all in the name of the bass drum. Andrey Kiritchenko, as you probably can guess, is rooted far out at the experimental edges of what you know as Techno music. For the self-released "Sinemagiq" EP, he goes for the basic fundaments of electronic dance music: repetition, tribalism, straight but effective melodic minimalism.

Seven tunes, arranged like a good DJ set, with a limited set of sound that appear all quite brownish to me- take a look at the awesome cover artwork by Dmytro Nikolaenko to get an idea what I mean. Everything sounds very organic, wooden by chance, and there's a knarz in there that's substantially different from the Berlin squarewave Rockers the kids are so mad about these days. Kiritchenkos music is dark, driving and develops a hypnotic pull that's hard to resists. From the disharmonic siren in "00" to the fat UK-style bass synth in "06". Highly recommended.

The title track, Soul Flight kicks off slowly with mellow washes of synth. Layers of understated rhythms emerge from the mix, gently building then organically falling away into the ocean of dub. "Horizon Line" and "Axiom" continue the minimal dub techno voyage. "Mirrors" will get your head bobbing and your feet tapping to it’s soft and deeply funky dub house. To my ears the last two tracks don’t stand up to the first four, but all in all Waveform’s debut album is definitely worth a listen.

Perfect for a lazy sunny day.

While listening to simple but bright synthesizer chords we let loose and drift on lots of echoes into the world of "Row By". Even though you - if you enjoy yourself listening to DubTechno - won't find new twists in his tracks New Delhi FM has learned his lessons. The artist from Cologne builds huge hypnotic loops and lets us fall into trance. What do we want more?

Tosol - "Trip around Midnight EP" (Auflegware)

German sound-engineer Tosol enjoys playing with sounds and tricky beats. His "Trip around Midnight EP" is a Techno EP where Minimal meets some Breakbeat-trickery. All tracks are slightly dirty and what I like best, is how Tosol twists beats and sounds. Unfortunately not the whole EP convinced me, but his track "Format 2000" is a monster. The track reminds me a bit of "Funk Phenomena" by Armand van Helden but is much more techy and stands for itself.

Selffish is one of the netlabel-scene-veterans who already released his music years ago - especially on Thinner. On www.leibniz.ru he published a marvellous and cosy House-Tune called ".Splash". This production is a true sweet spot. Open up and let some relaxed sounds into your home.

One of my favorite tracks to date is still the wonderful TechHouse Remix for Leavemotte done be Ne Rnx. The production of "Step for Kids" is melodic, deep and very groovy for a TechHouse-production.

Emilson named his four tracks simply "Another part I", "Another part II", "Another part III" and "Another part IV". I guess he did so, because all the tracks have the same purpose in mind: Cheerful dancing. Unlike most of the techno-sounds found on Heavy Industries, "Another" awaits you with pure-blooded good old-fashioned Trance-Anthems. Feel ecstatic when the sky opens up in part four to lift you up. Thrilling in its clarity like in the old days!

In the retrospection Archipel looks back at its history and reconsiders what happened and will happen in the future:

After 3 years of existence, Archipel went a few steps further than what was originally planned. While the initial project was supposed to be about releasing samplepacks for a community, it grew to various scenes where it got even some vinyl releases. As things became more busy and demos flew in, we decided to aim at new goals and not propose a new samplepack.

After Pheek's many tours, he came back with many ideas. One was to make a package of tools for DJs and performers. This would go a step further than just samples, we'd aim more at giving something for those who helped make us know: artists who play for crowds or for bedroom DJs.

An interesting starting point. With his mix "Assignment 3" Pheeks goes the first steps and presents a minimal-techno-mix in the typical Pheek-Style. The mix sounds like we were sitting in the circuitry of a robot who's travelling. While grooving on a stoic groove, clicks, little sounds and effects spin around our head. Somehow I would describe it as the corporate sound of Pheek: futuristic, experimental but still danceable.

I like good stories whether they are true or not. If I read the funny description about the "Teddy Bear"-release and how the music found its way to Top40-Netlabel, I get a little bit suspicious. Is it true, that some unknown producer from Dresden send these solid dancefloor-smash-hits to the russian netlabel? Was he really an active member of rave movement in the middle of 90's? And did he really start again to make music after 10 years of absence?!?

Nothing of that matters because these tracks are great. Great if you like some odd-vocals like "I Got You Under My Skin", "The Flavour of the Drive" or "You Feel The Drive" along with a powerful and catchy Techno-production with some Pop in it. Especially "Flavour of z drive" reminds me a little bit of these awful Scooter-Tracks with way too much pathetic vocals. But check out "Superstar" or the humorous track "Teddy Bear". In some manner a definitive club hit!

And one last word! If you're a producer check out the remix-pack for the Teddy Bear song and make your own hysterical TechnoPop-Track. We're courious to listen to it!

Long time, no techno. I got bored a little bit. Always some DubTechno or Minimal-Tunes begged for downloading, but in the end there where no grooves or hooks which got me raving.

But Evolent from Switzerland made me listen up. Their little EP surprises with three dense and exciting tracks. Each track has its own identity and evolves. Next after "Rise And Fall" the second track "Cornflakes In My Ears" starts with some funky electro-beats to get concrete on a steady bassdrum later on. But also the closing track "Evolver" is everything but a flop. More atmospheric than the first tracks, Evolent trip with us on some fine bleeps and quirky melodies. Respectful production!

On Frank Biedermanns EP called "Wookiee Woods" you find two smashing DubTechno-Tracks for a frenetic club night: "Wookie Woods" and "Endoor Forest". In contrast the new "Nanowar EP" comes around with a more gentle and lounge-orientated sound. Like on his debut on Stadtgrün Frank Biedermanns throws some techy chords into his delay and filters carefully the sound.

While the originals stay quite streamlined and don't risk to much, the remixers - especially Martin Donath and Rob Keens - get into the game with some additional music ideas. Where Rob Keens entertains us with some pop-like chords and melodies, Martin Donath turns his knobs with a more minimal-orientated flavor. His remix of "Rumble the Bumblebee" lifts us out of the sofa with some subsonic basslines and dark effects. Definetely a minimal and funky stomper!

Dorian Knox "Butterfly" (MP3)

Sometimes I wonder who listens to dark techno tracks like I found on Audioexits sublabel Ae-Tech. These badass tracks kick fast and deep, but any interesting groove and twist is missing. I used to dance to such streamlined tracks in my youth, today I scratch my neck how I could provide enough energy to dance to such music for even half an hour.

No surprise, I found myself listening to the deeper and more minimal tracks lending the sublabel Ae-Min an ear. Even in this subcategory the hungarian tracks sound dark and push with an extra-portion of subbass. But nevertheless the fat production kick you constantly and especially the trance-influenced "Butterfly" by Dorian Knox has potential to get the hands of the clubbers into the air in front of your dj-mixing-desk. Somehow the track reminds me of this trance-megahit "7 Days And One Week". Of all four tracks "Butterfly" has the most pop-orientated touch and if you like minimal techno, give the whole quality ep a try.

Since his debut-ep "Current Trends in Neural Science" on Ideology I enjoy drifting away with Sudio's electronic productions. His finest release to date is the "Soulstrip (live@Evoke2004) EP". "Soulstrip" gives you the best insight of how Sudio sounds: cool, melodic, experimental and deep. While "Soulstrip" is a journey into sound, "Sheets of Sound" comes along with a approach to push some tracks over to Club-DJs. But I doubt, that DJs will use his complex productions on the dancefloor. All those changes, different hooks might frigthen the normal clubbers and make them stumble.

By contrast his tracks can be heard over and over again. This is my favorite side of Sudio. Tracks like "Pulsed Deflection" or "Fundamental Oscillation" never rest on one groove, on one sound or one beat. His music is versatile, vivid and you'll find lots of twists and sound-ideas. Music that survives trends. Music for people with an ear for colourful techno music. In the old days, they called it intelligent techno.

I always enjoy music releases which come along my earphones with different styles. Nothing is more boring than a steadily bouncing bassdrum through a whole ep. That's why I like Cubenx approach to fuse different music styles together. The music on "Turquoise" ranges from techno to electro to ambient. And it works. His "Turquoise" EP leads us through different moods. When you listen to his ambient track "Calfarsand" it is never too far away from the more upfront electro-track namend "Repeat". Funky beats, playful sound-experiments and anthem-like synthesizers lift you up in this track. Cool.

A well-shaped, vivid and experimental release full of surprises.

Last not least, I have somehow this feeling, that Cubenx has a deep connection to music from my hometown Cologne - to be precise to music from Kompakt Records. If you like Kompakt, you'll enjoy his music.

"100" puts more fuel in your techno- and house-driven mp3-player. While some tracks like "Borderline" from Laura Palmer lift you slightly up with Progressive House, tracks like "Greet the World with a smile" from Veer stick a little flag into the musical map somewhere inbetween Rhythm & Sound and Luomo. But we get some carefully rockin tracks, too. At the forefront Eloi Brunelle from Epsilonlab/Canada kicks us with "Deepmush" sincere in the butt. His track melts some stompy disco-drums with technoid chords and playful sounds. The most atmospheric production catches us when we drift on off-beat synthesizers-chords from Brian Kage. Nice.

They hit you directly and stand on solid, deep and pumping beats. The german producer released with "Wookie Woods" on Stadtgruen a four-tracker-ep which is already a classic.

If you are a dj cut his straight beats loose in the heat of the night. You'll see, the tracks will do the rest and heaten up club people to the max. If you prefer to build up tension, than "Endor Woods" should be the choice of the moment. Still pushing but with a more relaxed approach "Endor Forest" slides on peaceful dub chords. No pills needed for this music ;)

I like techno which gives me that feeling like sitting and rolling on a huge wave. Hiroshi Okis tracks come around the corner, grab you by your feet and start pushing. No ornaments here, just pure techno condensed to make us sweat. Nevertheless Okis tunes are somehow delightful because they spread a positive vibe. DJs can use his music to heat the club while we can listen to them at home or while kicking the pedals of our bike. If you like techno give "Retarin" and "Life Change" a listen and download his music to your mp3-player.

Each Toni Music-release is accommpanied with an individual and great cover-artwork. Somehow the artwork stands for itself. Each track comes in compressed in hifi-quality-encoded mp3s in 320kbs. The bassdrum always kicks you and the production is well-balanced. Most of the grooves and tracks are highly dj-orientated. Unsurprisingly the dj-tools fit well in a minimal-mix. So does Patrick di Stefano. His 5-tracker "Mon petit tresor" is a warm minimal-house-release which shuts down with an laidback song called "wasabi" feat. Ikijazz. I guess, that Ikijazz performs with virtuosity his saxophone while simultaneously a voice gives the song even more atmosphere. A great and unexpected end for a minimal-house-release which calms you down for the next round of clubmusic.

But Benfay didn't only produce music for Thinner, he even mastered as engineer some of the most popular Thinner-releases. Later on he opened his own netlabel together with Digitalis and Sam Graf. They called their now resting netlabel Realaudio. There you'll find Benfays album "albedo feature", where he focused on ambient and experimental sounds.

One of my favorite Benfay-albums is his "One Touch Button Music LP". On this album Benfay combines various musicstyles from ambient to electronica to dub-inspired techno-tracks. His ambient-track "Plötzliche Kühle" (MP3)
Benfay Thinner Bio is definetely one of my all-time-netaudio favourites. Don't miss the amazing remix of "Plötzliche Kühle " by Lufth (MP3) on "One Touch Button Remixes LP". Both ambient-works cool you down with mellow melodies and an individual cinematic vibe.

The latest production from Benfay "Born On A Houseboat" sadly didn't convince me very much. Only his shuffle-house-track "Phlegmatic Face" grabs you by the scruff of your neck and pushes you gently on the dancefloor.
