Berghain 03
Len Faki [Ostgut Ton]
Two of the exclusive, and most forward-thinking tracks from Len Faki’s critically acclaimed ‘Berghain 03’ mix get their own deserved soap box on Ostgut Ton
, with Edit Select’s rumbling opener ‘Bauer’ promising a night of atmospherics, and Len Faki’s air-raid techno cut ‘BX 3’ hinting at future desolation. The energy is relentless and the outlook is rather scary.

Spraycan EP
Renaissance Man [Dubsided]
Have you ever been sitting at your desk, on a bus, or in line at the bank, and been listening to music on your headphones, and before you know it, you realize you’ve been very vigorously bopping your head up and down making a complete ass of yourself in public for the last five minutes?
Well, that happened to me this morning. After a few sniggers and some sideways glances from the people around me, I realized what I was doing and thought I’d better check to see what had caused this embarrassing, albeit welcome, involuntary reaction.
To my (non) surprise it was the playful, horn-laced, but heavy-hitting bass sounds of the new Dubsided
EP ‘Spraycan’.

Top 10 DJ Chart
KOS [Various artists]
When I join Nic Fanciulli on tour on Thursday, I’ll also get the chance to hang out with KOS who is one of the most promising new DJ talents from the UK.
With both Nic and James Zabiela heavily supporting the London-based producer and DJ, and KOS
on the books of the influential DJ agencies Bullitt bookings and Club Class, there are plenty of people tipping him for greater things.
KOS put together this Global Underground pre-tour Top 10 DJ chart for us, which showcases the deep techno and house sound that has become synonymous with his popular Familia club nights in Britain. It also gives some clue as to what to expect from him during the tour.

Down The Rabbit Hole
DJ Madskillz [100% Pure]
DJ Madskillz
sounds like he might be a hip hop DJ with baggy jeans and a cap on sideways yo, but he is in fact a fairly well turned out Dutch lad with an impeccable sense for forward thinking, body rocking tech house.
As his new ‘Down The Rabbit Hole’ EP proves, this guy has got mad skills in the studio (I couldn’t resist).

Sombrero
Paul Ritch [Drumcode]
French techno DJ Paul Ritch
showcases his techno prowess yet again with the excellent ‘Solarium’ EP on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode
.
‘Solarium’ starts off rather laid back and minimal and you’re left wondering if Ritchy boy is getting all soft on you, and then out of nowhere a white noise cannon marks the start of a proper percussive techno thrust. And we’re off!
Take It Or Leave It
16 Bit Lolitas, Ohmna [Bits & Piece...
Shimmering progressive house is a rarity these days, and 16 Bit Lolitas
are one of a few artists still committed to the ethereal and provide it regularly via their excellent label Bits & Pieces
.
Here with Ohmna on ‘Take It Or Leave It’, the Lolitas provide a blissful melodic electronic house trip that will keep those with a dark house tooth moving.
Focus On: Boysnoize Records
Various Artists [Boysnoize Records]...
With 11 loud and lairy indie dance/electro classics on one release, listening to ‘Focus On: Boysnoize Records’ is like having a large glass of hydrochloric acid tossed in your face.
Ok maybe that doesn’t sound like much fun, and that would be doing this marvelous release a major injustice as all of its tunes are a rip-roaring delight, but they do serve as a bleeding-great-big call to arms for anyone who likes their dance music noisy and rock-tinged.

Top 10 DJ Chart
James Zabiela [Various artists]
British DJ James Zabiela
recently uploaded his second ever DJ chart to Beatport and in fine Zabiela form it’s packed with peak-time techy goodness.

They Know
TRG, Kontext [Immerse Records]
Is it dubstep? Is it speed garage? Is it techno? No it’s TRG
, the Romanian producer otherwise known as Cosmin Nicolae. Since 2007 TRG has been raising more than just eyebrows with his sonically intense electronic movements on Immerse Records
, Cool And Deadly Records
and Hessle Audio
, and here on ‘They Know’ TRG displays his amazing ability to draw on so many different musical genres all at once.

So It Goes (A Day In The Life) (Feat. MC Flipside)
Bart B More [Toolroom]
Dutch producer Bart B More
has been a regular fixture in the Beatport Top 10 charts for months with his remixes of Chocolate Puma ‘Touch Me’ and his original production ‘Finally’ making it to No.1 and No.2 respectively.
‘So It Goes’, which was originally released on Toolroom in 2007, now gets a new vocal from electro house’s go-to MC Flipside which will probably help it become his biggest hit to date. Pete Tong has already named it his Essential New Tune.
