I’m sorry for the lack of updates these past two weeks. I now have two jobs that take up quite a bit of time, but hey, I’m making some damn good money!
There’s some good parties lined up for this weekend, and I’ll post all of the info tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks

This video was shot last year during Magda and Richie Hawtin’s visit to Avalon in Hollywood. I have no idea what track this is, and I’ve scoured the net for answers with no luck.
If you know the name of the track send me a message!
This is an old release but an all-time favorite of mine. Deep textures and lush mindscapes make up this wonderful release, brought to you by the Thinner Netlabel.
Tracks:
1. Evolve
2. Distances
3. Missed
4. Evolve (Marko Fürstenberg Remix)
Mysterious artist Laura Palmer debuts on Thinner with an EP consisting of three main tracks and, as an added luxury, a potent remix by Marko Fürstenberg. “Background” seems to be a quite contrary title to what you’re about to hear on this release - Laura Palmer takes the listener into some darkly shaded, intoxicating timeless dubtech. All four tracks are centered around a dark dub theme and follow a basic pattern of an opening dose of minimal dub atmospheres followed shortly with the alliance of strong techo beats and bass lines that develop their own cosmos and fill the sonic headroom with many 3D sounds and effects.
All of the key elements of dub are present - atmospheric layers of static and hiss, punctuated notes, and minor-keyed chords loaded with reverb and delay. Intensifying this dub ambiance are steady, pounding kick drum beats and intense bass notes. Laura Palmer deals with the 2007 techdub topic from a more sequential side but still doesn’t refuse to experiment with breaky beats inside the dubby sparkling cosmos as in “Missed”. In the end the release sums up to a set of polished monumental clubtracks which request to get incorporate in your sets. Rush, spatial dubby offbeat sequences, a compact and fine functional pressure-laden record that gets crowned by the uber-thrusted feature remix of Marko Fürstenberg.

Here’s a video clip from my favorite techno duo, Tractile. Their sound is evil yet sexy.
Bio:
If someone was asked what it would sound like if all of the most frightening, most exciting and sexiest scenes in cinema history were spliced together and merged with a robotic dance score, Tractile would surely be the reply.
Adam Young (b. 1983) and Joel Boychuk (b. 1985), with several years of miscellaneous music experience behind them and a few years as great friends and partners-in-crime, decided to reinvent their sound and call themselves “Tractile.” Having been obsessed with the concept of controlling the uncontrollable and seducing recorded sound of any kind, the name was a suiting merge between the words track and tactile. Boychuk and Young played their first public live show in 2003 and have continued to shake dance-floors ever since, always impressing and exciting their audience far beyond expectation. Influenced by a strange combination of filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas, and the evolution of techno music and emergence of the minimal sound through artists like Richie Hawtin and Jeff Milligan,
Tractile delivers barrages of demented but motivating tech grooves perfect for dance floors and at-home listeners alike… and with a swiftly-growing international fanbase, it’s no wonder the name is on the toungue-tips of DJs and music fans everywhere.
Germany’s Dapayk Solo of Mo’s Ferry fame is no stranger to our world of abstract techno. He has an uncanny knack for amalgamating gentle equanimity with cacophonic mayhem. On Bits For Dirty Minds and Places you get five tracks that gracefully break you and make you feel pleasantly whole all at once. Each tune goes from mellow and fluffy to robust and abrasive - from amiably temperate to deeply haunting. Your head spins around quirky rhythms, danceable grooves, gritty basslines, soothing melodies, harsh melodies, brilliant sound-play, witty structuralizing and relentless intensity.
Play these tracks at the parties. Play them in your car or on your iPod. Play them until your skin wilts and your hair falls out.
