He’s the bad boy of the Amsterdam techno underground: Daniel Sanchez, 26 year old son of a Spanish father and a Dutch mother, who scored one of the biggest hits of the summer of 2007 with the infectious ‘Mumbling yeah’. Daniel’s ‘mumbling’ vocals give the track that special edge.
Op de eerste dag van maart is de tweede release van Gem Records uitgekomen, de nieuwe Secret Cinema remix voor Christian Smith (Tronic49) zag diezelfde dag het licht van de digitale wereld.

(Extrema Music | 2xCD) The 16 Bit Lolita's are Dutch dj/producers Peter Kriek and Ariaan Olieroock. They have just released their eagerly anticipated debut album, and they decided to make it a double.
(Different | CD) The album reminds me of a softdrink called ‘Rivella’ which has a slogan:‘N beetje vreemd, maar wel lekker!’ (in Dutch) which means something like; ‘a little weird, but i like it!’
(Soma Quality Recordings | CD) With his background in the Durham Cathedral Choir it is clear that this man knows how to compose beautiful music, which shows on Alex Smoke's debut album Incommunicado.
(Narita Records | CD) Monolake en The Future Sound Of London behoren tot zijn favorieten en dat is ook goed te horen aan het geluid van de Zweed Anders Ilar. Na drie volledige albums sinds 2003 is het nu de beurt aan het vierde album van de man uit Ludwijka ‘Nightwidth’.
(Saw Recordings | CD) Audiofly are the duo Luca Saporito and Anthony Middleton and with Undulation 2 on SAW Recordings they release their first mixed compilation.
(Warp Records | CD) The Campfire Headphase has turned out to be a surprisingly light-footed, and warm-blooded album, and it is quite arguably their best one to date.
(Ovum Recordings | 12") Catatonic is niet zomaar een E.P., nee, het is er één die is uitgebracht op het legendarische Ovum Records van Josh Wink en dit label brengt housemuziek in de breedste zin van het woord.
(Clone | CD) Soulfull, warm, deep and well balanced tracks, a few words that come to me when i think about this magnificent debut album of two dutchies called Duplex.
(Connaisseur Recordings | 12") Met deze release van een zeer gekwalificeerde DJ uit Amsterdam die sinds kort live haar eigen producties ten gehore brengt, wordt er internationaal uitgebreid. Naar eigen zeggen houdt ze van lange sets om een bepaalde sfeer te creëren en dit is duidelijk hoorbaar in de nieuwste productie van Estroe op Connaisseur Supérieur.
(EMI Records (UK) | CD) Getting most of their fame when “Emerge” was released in 2002, we’ve not heard a lot of them since then. Seems like the guys have been working quite hard in the studio to come up with a brand new album, even better and more mature than their debut album “#1”.
(EMI Records (UK) | CD) Demon Days is the follow-up to their million selling debut album Gorrilaz. As on the previous album they again prove to be very talented and versatile musicians.
(Om Records | 2xCD) Na 'Ziggy Franklin Show' en 'Pleetch' zijn Greenskeepers terug met een nieuwe dubbelaar. De uit Chicago afkomstige formatie bestaande uit Nick Maurer, Mark Share, Coban Rudish en James Curd hebben hun DJ skills verruild voor de gitaar.
(Poker Flat Recordings | CD) If you’re looking for a – close to perfection – structured cocktail of deep psychotic minimal, house and techno sounds, you might just have found your musical mix–Mecca.
(Renaissance Recordings | 2xCD) Hernan Cattaneo is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the progressive scene. In 2004 he started his world tour to promote his edition of the Renaissance ‘Master Series’ album including gigs through Europe, the USA, Asia and Ibiza
(Renaissance Recordings | 12") Child prodigy James Zabiela known as one of the tastemakers of the Renaissance label is well known for his technically gifted turntable skills and doesn't need a kind of any introduction.
(Uncivilized World | CD) Jennifer is a new name to me, but not to the French techno scene where she has been a resident of the Parisian Automatik parties for over a few years now. Representing the sound of her own "Lust" night she releases an album full of Germanish techno tracks on the Uncivilized World label.
(Renaissance Recordings | CD) Binnenkort verschijnt deel 2 van John Digweeds ‘Transitions’ serie. De man die nauwelijks introductie behoeft, lijkt met deze singledisc afscheid te nemen van het ‘progressive’ genre dat hem groot heeft gemaakt.
(Plus 8 Records Ltd. | CD) Mike Shannon has been around for many years, then again, this is his first appearance on Plus8 records. Shannon is known for a more melodical approach in his productions, which should be interesting, since this album contains no less than 11 tracks.
(Sender Records | CD) In short the album is solid, though it will bore you pretty soon I’m afraid, it’s not one coherent piece. I have the feeling that Christopher Bleckmann and Hannes Wenner are looking for their sound and form, the warmer stuff is nice, the rest quite boring.
(Bpitch Control | CD) For some reason the German Modeselektor have this French vibe around them. Judging their new album "Hello Mom!" they surely have a strong affection with France. Bpitch' latest addition to their gem-collection.
(Renaissance Recordings | 2xCD) Renaissance is back with a compilation mixed by DJ, producer and label owner Nic Fanciulli. After a in my opinion a little disapointing compilation by Sandy Rivera, the hottest rising talent in the UK shows his various taste for music.
(Dial | CD) Hendrik Weber, ook wel Pantha du Prince wist in 2004 een juweeltje van een album af te leveren. Zijn Diamond Daze wist platen voort te brengen die nog steeds gedraaid worden door heren als Mayer en Lawrence. Het bekendste voorbeeld hiervan is de hit Butterfly Girl. Eindelijk weet de heer Weber in 2007 ijzersterk terug te komen met This Bliss.
(Minimaxima | CD) More often than not, a live album is nothing more than a greatest hits collection played live. Well, most of the time. Paul Kalkbrenner recorded this live set in the Berlin club Maria am Ufer, and it is full of surprises.
(Mute Records (UK) | CD/DVD) Richie Hawtin is dreaming of the future again. More than 15 years after he began exploring new frontiers in electronic dance music, he is redefining the idea of what a DJ can be.
(Poker Flat Recordings | CD) The funkmaster and labelboss from Pokerflat does it again. With this new mix-album Steve Bug leads us through his view on today's progression in house music, and we follow him willingly.
(LoMechanik | 2xCD) Lomechanik, het van oorsprong ontstane electronica label uit Nijmegen, kijkt inmiddels al enige tijd verder dan de Waalstad. Het label annex landelijk opererend collectief brengt electronics in de breedste zin van het woord.
(Soma Quality Recordings | CD) New album by Vector Lovers, soon to be released on Soma Records. With a variety of electro and some more ambient tracks.
