“New release on Antiritmo… this is time for Peter Gual, a spanish artist who mixes experimental and techno sounds with an amazing result…” [editor: Hey guys, please submit the tracks next time. Also try to upload a cover 350px in size. Thanks.]
“5 wonderfull new tracks from alex lowmax from leipzig city with big dancefloor feelings and perfect rhythms in a warm construct from percussions and melodys. from minimal to deep techno. “
“Back again is netlabel veteran and head of Edensonic Records to bring you his first EP on RaR and the hardest techno release yet on this label. This release entitled ‘Workaholic’ is filled with hard percussive arrangements, filled with psyched out Detroit style synth stabs, drowned over mysterious back drop, and sometimes acid type style melodies and pads. As with all his other releases, Strial gives us style, character, and soul by the pound! This EP couldn have had a better name, because this is exacly what Strial is, ‘a workaholic.’ While being a successful scientist in the field of medicine, Strial has managed many artists on his own label Edensonic, which has become an icon in the netlabel scene for the genre of techno. Strial has also helped RaR behind the scenes too, providing priceless advice and direction. He has helped me (Marcus Watkins) not only grow as an director to this label, but has also opened my mind a dj, a producer, a person, and most importantly as a friend. It can truely be said that Random Access Recordings would not be here if it were not for Strial. Strial is one of the most versitle artists in the netlabel scene and this release is a very special one starting a long series of hard techno bangers from this true master at ‘WORK.’ ENJOY!”
“A netlabel DJ mix fron echtZEIT. freak.waves includes a variety of minimalistic, experimental and housey ‘waves’, so some tracks come as a tiny wave to relax your ears and some are freaking around to turn you on.” [editor: lol! I like this description.]
Featured Tracks and Artists:
“It has been almost a year since you have heard something from Sven. This pretty massive collection of works, ranging from ambient to dancefloor techno, is one of the reasons why it took so long for his new release. Contributions are made by fellow 1bit-wonderians Juno6 (with one of his typical mellow techno tracks) and lately renamed Steffen Bennemann (delivering his most dancefloor-oriented production to date).”
“The 18 years old talented boy ’sturmfrei’, well known for his Labil Release labrec004, presents his first Debut-Album.”
“Sascha Müller, also known as Pharmacom, hails from Uelsen, Germany. He participates actively in the netlabel movement, both as a musician and as a label-owner. Sascha Müller does not live merely by the code of the software synthesizer, but also uses a rich array of analog instruments and techniques in his recordings. His work crosses genre boundaries, from techno to ambient to electro and back again.
In Violet Dreams, Sascha travels in the hazy, violet electro-horizons, where the colors shimmer as the sun rises and sets. As with all equatorial border territories, the result is a rich melange of different styles and ways of doing things. The intersection of different netlabel cultures is a point of melding and melting, which takes place in the penumbra of song.
We live in a time of harsh divisions, when we all dream of violet fields in a land without borders.
Come join Sascha Müller for an exploration of the dream-power of sound to bridge the spaces between us.”
“With an emphasis on live performance, dug is heavily infuenced by the music produced by record labels such as tresor, basic channel and m-nus among others. Ekwals second release, a 3 track e.p. entitled the okyo e.p. is dugs first attempt to contain his frantic live style into a few tracks. The Tokyo e.p. develops from a laid back opener to a more intense delivery of minimal techno. Thanks to John McCaig at PanicStudios for his mastering skills!”
