 | | Fabrizio Maurizi - OK, Switch On (M_nus | MP3)
After a good couple of months of deathlike silence from M_nus they’re finally back with non other than Fabrizio Maurizi and his OK, Switch On ep. Let’s see if his music is as smooth as his name. | |
| |
 | | Niederflur - DIN (M_nus | 12")
After their last release on the M_nus ND series in 2002, Niederflur (also known as Misc. on the Sender label), is back with an ep called `Din`. As M_nus states, the ND series have been given the light “to separate the genre’s purer shores from today’s more evolved, post minimal sound”. Promising words... | |
| |
 | | Troy Pierce - Gone Astray (M_nus | CD)
Pierce is producing a lot lately, with recent remixes and collaborations on M_nus he now comes up with an album called ‘Gone Astray’. Last album he did was under his alias Louderbach, called ‘the enemy love ep’, an impressive piece of work; especially ‘grace (anxiety)’ was an absolute masterpiece, so let’s see what he made out of this one. | |
| |
 | | Plastikman - Nostalgik 3 (M_nus | 12")
The Third series of Plastikman’s Nostalgik line is up and this time it is one with two remixes of one of the most notorious and remarkable tracks we have ever heard from legendary Hawtin: ‘93’s Spastik and ‘96’s Panikattack. | |
| |
 | | Gaiser - Eye Contact (M_nus | 2x12")
Gaiser is Back on M_nus, for some of us this might be a very joyful fact as his sound is quite unique and well able to convince you. | |
| |
 | | Marc Houle - Techno Vocals (M_nus | 12")
Why are the vocals turned down so low? This is the way we make Techno! Right… It’s hard to deny these vocals are pretty cheesy.

| |
 | | False - 2007 (M_nus | CD)
Matthew Dear is releasing a lot lately and this is a blissful fact since the vast majority of the stuff he made is basically high-quality material. 2007 is his next piece of art and it consists of an hour mix with his own productions only. No more than two tracks of the 15 track mix where released earlier, that is on the “Fed on youth” ep not too long ago.
| |
| |
 | | v.a. - Nothing Much And Something More (M_nus | 2xCD)
M_nus next release holds two discs. One with all the hits of the last couple of years and one mix session of M_nus only releases, by local hero Troy Pierce.
| |
| |
 | | False - Fed On Youth (M_nus | 12")
‘Fed On Youth’ is an ep made by Matthew Dear under one of his aliases, among them ‘Audion’, ‘Jabberjaw’ and ‘False’. Last mentioned though, is the one Dear favors to use when he releases on M_nus or Plus8 and hence on this one. | |
| |
 | | Jpls - Twilite (M_nus | 2x12")
Its JPLS’ turn to release an album on M_nus. We heard his work before on the Min2Max compilation were he contributed with the track ‘twilite07’ and shortly after this he released an ep called ‘Program’. | |
| |
 | | v.a. - MVS1 (M_nus | 12")
M_nus presents the new MVS series and the first episode of an indefinite total holds collaborations between Heartthrob with Troy Pierce and on the other side Gaiser along with Heartthrob. | |
| |
 | | Ambivalent - R U OK (M_nus | 12")
Its time for Ambivalents debut release on M_nus and it’s probably one a certain amount of people among us waited for, as Magda and Troy Pierce have been playing the title track, “R U OK?” for quite a while now. The track basically consists of an ultra phat baseline, vocal, psych melody once in a while, and carefully selected percussion. Think of a well present snare and some funky hat lines. The vocal describes a person helping somebody out on a party that might have taken a little too much of the you know whatties! Conclusion: amazing track and dance floor eradicator!
| |
| |
 | | Heartthrob - Baby Kate Remixes (M_nus | 12")
There they are! The remixes of what was probably “the track” of 2006, Baby Kate. And don’t expect just any remixer regarding this masterpiece; we are talking big names such as Magda, Richard Hawtin (twice), Adam Beyer and Sascha Funke among others. | |
| |
 | | Tractile - Silent Movie (M_nus | 12")
After their first release on the Min2Max compilation, Tractile are back with their very first ep, called ‘Silent Movie’. | |
| |
 | | Gaiser - Neural Block (M_nus | 12")
After his first EP on M_nus 'And Answer', Gaiser is back with a second one, called Neural Block. | |
| |
 | | Magda - She's A Dancing Machine (M_nus | CD)
Today’s modern DJ does not seem to create mix CD’s anymore by means of turntables; the computer is taking over. In Magda’s case this is a joyful fact since she managed to put 71 tracks on it! | |
| |
 | | Marc Houle - Bay Of Figs (M_nus | 2x12")
With this album Marc Houle really seems to be building on the way that was once started by such legends as Daniel Bell and Robert Hood. His sound represents the roots of minimal and he proofs that this sound still fits perfectly in the current minimal techno scene. | |
| |
 | | v.a. - min2MAX (M_nus | CD)
The long-awaited min2MAX album from the M_nus posse will hit the stores in the coming weeks; time for a sneak preview through our minimal goggles. | |
