The power behind live dance music
The recent furor over the pics we posted of Justice faking their live show proved that the age-old debate about what really constitutes ‘live’ dance music is still going strong.
In this special extended feature, Lee Smith talks to leading live acts Alex Smoke![[a]](http://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif)
, Mathew Jonson, Exercise One, Sideshow and The Bays to find out where live dance music is at in 2009.

Under The Willow
Ryan Crosson [Alphahouse]
The slightly warped releases of Ryan Crosson have marked him out as a key player in the North American techno nu-school, and here he returns to Butane’s Alphahouse imprint for more sinister fun.
Honing down the ricocheting percussion of his other work into a starker, sharper groove, both tracks are designed with the foggy hours of the night in mind.

I Don’t Need Competition
Gonno [Beyond]
‘Tis the season for lush, melodic techno, and this first release from mysterious new label Beyond is bursting with elegant, Detroit-inspired moods.
Flanked by a remix from Donnacha Costello![[l]](http://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif)
, Japanese producer Gonno’s richly textured sound will find favour with fans of deep, classically-inclined techno of the highest order.
Walter Neff
Matias Aguayo [Kompakt]
Although Kompakt has been markedly quieter in 2008 than previous years they’ve had their share of gems, notably in the form of Matias Aguayo’s ‘Minimal’ and its excellent DJ Koze remix.
This follow-up might not have quite the same far reaching appeal, but for fans of the Aguayo’s taut narco-disco, it’s another treat.

Time Out The Gap EP
Donato Dozzy [Railyard Recordings]
Another great signing from Brooklyn’s Railyard crew, this time in the form of micro-maestro Donato Dozzy.
It’s been a good year for the Italian DJ/producer, with wider audiences finally catching on to his distinctive blend of pulsing minimalism and sleek, refined techno.

Aroma EP
Paul Brtschitsch and Cio D'or [Broq...
Veteran engineer and head of Frisbee Paul Brtschitsch has already gained props this year for both his solo work and his collaborations with Mobilee’s Anja Schneider, and now he’s back alongside hotly-tipped techno femme Cio D’or.
Combining his flair for dubbed out echoes and her pulsing melodic tendencies, ‘Aroma EP’ offers dancefloor boom and pastoral headiness in equal measure.

Empire In Decline / Third Piece
Peter Van Hoesen [Time To Express]
It’s been a good year for Brussels-based Peter Van Hoesen, whose gritty, abstract approach to dancefloor techno has won him plaudits from across the techno spectrum.
This third outing on his own Time To Express imprint sees Van Hoesen doing what he does best - no-nonsense, gimmick-free gear that’s ominously sinister and deeply alluring in equal measure.
Pac Man
John Keys [Triebstoff]
Triebstoff has long held a reputation for high-quality, groove-heavy techno and tech-house - indeed, the label was the first to be distributed by electronic behemoth Kompakt, nearly ten years ago.
This new outing from ‘John Keys’ is in fact the work of Chilean masters Dandy Jack and Andre Garcia, who last popped up together on Crosstown Rebels with the excellent ‘Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Tsedong?’.

Forty Winks
Ada [IRR (International Records Rec...
It’s only three releases in, but the Areal sister label IRR has delivered nothing but quality so far, with the likes of DJ Koze and Jon Daly offering up a distinctly leftfield slant on the prevalent deep house moods of the moment.
Ada’s first release for the label continues the form, with two tracks of sweet, soothing electronics.

WAX10001
Wax [WAX]
If there’s one thing those folks at legendary vinyl emporium Hardwax love, it’s an anonymous release project.
But beyond all the excitable forum chatter about who may be behind this latest enigmatic venture, fans of classically-tinged, elegantly produced, techno deepness will be pleased to know that the music more than lives up to hype.
