Pan-Pot - Charly
2007-10-05 04:18:00
Pan-Pot - Charly Pan-Pot, aka Tassilo Ippenberger, Marco Resmann and Thomas Benedix have really built up a solid reputation on the minimal techno scene through their great techno releases on Mobilee and Einmaleins - especially the last couple of 12 inch on Einmaleins are stunning. Even though I still find the Maffia EP on Einmaleins absolutely brilliant, I believe this new Mobilee EP is even better - fantastic material!Anja Schneider has been doing a rmx on the b-side. Yeahh, it's good rework but IMO far from the original piece on the a-side. You should check it out. You find samples at the buttom.Label: MobileeCatalog#: Mobilee030Format: Vinyl, 12"Country: GermanyReleased: Sep 2007Genre: ElectronicStyle: Minimal, Tech HouseCredits Written-By - Marco Resmann, Tassilo Ippenberger, Thomas Benedix Vocals - Hugh BetchaCharlyCharly (Anja Schneider Tex Mex mix)


M_nus57 - JPLS - Fuckshuffle
2007-10-04 13:17:00
JPLS - FUCKSHUFFLEI got to be honest on this. JPLS aka Jeremy Jacobe is not my favourite M_nus producer. That's for sure. The stuff he's released on M_nus in the past is IMO a bit boring - I remember the Program EP last year as a good-night-sleep.This upcoming release, however, is a bit more interesting. For instance the bass-lines are much, much better. But hey, you should check it out yourself. I've added a link at the buttom where you find samples. Vinyl will be in shops 2nd November.Artist/Title: JPLS | FUCKSHUFFLELabel: MINUSFormat: 12”, MP3, WAVDistribution: MDM / Neuton / Beatport / M-nus.comStyle: Techno, MinimalDigital Release Date: OCTOBER 19, 2007Vinyl Release Date: NOVEMBER 2, 2007Track Listing:A1 - fuckshuffleA2 - activatroyB1 - quasarludeB2 - synthesis (wax edit)Digital Only Tracks:Track 1. m100Track 2. halfpillTrack 3. dopeTrack 4. door25Track 5. synthesis (full)Samples here

New Martinez album coming up
2007-10-04 04:35:00
During the last couple of years Martinez aka Martin Swanstrein has really making himself visible on the minimal techno scene. I remember years ago when he was dealing with deep house and tech house - but now I'm really a sucker for his releases. Since he launched his new label Re:connected in the beginning of 2007 I've been sucking up each and every release. The Swede who's actually living in Copenhagen, is putting out the album "A Chemical Imbalance" which can be bought on vinyl, cd and mp3."A Chemical Imbalance" is mainly driven by the trade mark sound of Re:connected. You’ll find it in tracks such as "Tuna Belly" & "La Macchina", with their rolling hypnotic rhythm and bleepy metallic sounds. The album also includes the two dance floor hits from the first 12", Sinus Wave and Land-crab which have a more shuffle driven beat and strong off-key pads. You'll alse find tracks with chicago house elements...Tracklisting:01. haunted by your scream02. isolation03. tuna belly04. razor-bla

Upcoming Resopal release
2007-10-03 18:06:00
Paul Ritch doesn't really need any introduction. Within the last year the Parisian fellow has been released peak-time techno on labels such as Resopal and MiniSketch. This new release, however, is IMO the best so far - I'm really glad he's not following the "Berlin hype" at the moment where "everybody" is more or less focused on jazzy deep house. To be honest... I can't stand it:)All right. The Summer Ceremony EP will be out soon - check it out!Tracks:Shester - 7:15Summer Ceremony 7:31Swartz 8:07

Mathias Kaden - Myal EP
2007-10-03 16:49:00
Mathias Kaden doesn’t make me spill my drink here but he definitely raises an eyebrow or two. The EP is a deliberate step away from the perky, stripped-down minimal techno sound you’d expect from this artist and this label towards a swampier, dubbier and more layered approach.The A-side, ‘Rhythma’ has a world music vibe with a sparse congo-driven groove and lots of echoey delay. The long congo runs are great but might be a little too similar to other tracks out there these days. On the B-side, ‘Obeah’ is a more progressive, atmospheric affair with echoey stabs and African samples that create an ethnic, trancey feel. It’s a decent enough builder, but the rhythm is a little too flat to make you want to move your feet to it.But the title track is the one to check here. ‘Myal’ uses a simplistic but powerful bassline as it’s foundation and then brings in congo rattles and the occasional bar of funky live drumming to create interest - this cuts in like the biting drums fr


How do I get my first DJ gig?
2007-10-03 05:47:00
All right... Now I wanna discuss the subject on how to get yourself some techno gigs. It doesn't really matter how awesome your DJ skills are if nobody knows you. Therefore I wanna hand out some good advice about how to get some gigs.• Try to hand out as many mix-tapes as possible to promoters - still without being too annoying:) You need to be out there at the clubs talking to dj's, club owners, promoters, club kids, coke dealers - you name it! In other words: make yourself visible in the nightlife - get your name out there and get to know the "right people"!• Well, if you're producing tracks and so on - it's obviuos that with a decent release you'll more or less get a gig in no time. I know it's not the easiets thing to do. But if you wanna spin some records abroad this is the way to it!• You can also do what I did back in the days; start organizing your own parties. This is really a great way to get on the dj ladder. As a promoter/booker you will in a short amou


New Perlon album
2007-10-02 20:28:00
Personally I can't wait to Thomas Melchior's new album on Perlon. Perlon has always been my #1 label for minimal house/techno. The album will be released on the 11th November 2007. As a Perlon tradition it will not be out for digital download which I truly like as I'm still true to the black beauty:)The title of the album is "No Disco Future". As far as I'm informed we'll be dealing with an album with harmonic structures and believe it or not some discreet melodies - I'm really looking forward to this album.TracklistA1 Prepare For LoveA2 Where's the HappinessB1 Out ThereB2 The HypnotistC1 Her MajestyC2 Black MotherD1 Coming UpD2 Water Soul

Richie Hawtin interview about global environment
2007-10-16 02:41:00
Richie Hawtin and the minimal techno crew at M_nus are now beginning to take action regarding global environment issues. The plastikman wants to follow the footsteeps of other music communities by being more environment minded. With their new campaign subtitled 'Minimize your IMPACT', Richie has promised to offset carbon emissions, and implement environmentally friendly manufacturing processes at M_nus in Berlin. Interesting to see how the electronic music community will react to this green thing. I personally hope the electronic community are able to do something positive in matters to do some changs. Furthermore Richie is becoming a father. CONGRTATS!

Upcoming Luciano EP
2007-10-07 10:05:00
Luciano - Études Électroniques - CadenzaThe Chilean wonderboy Luciano is yet back with a new strong Cadenza release. It's been about a year since his last 'Solomon's Prayer' EP was released on Cadenza. Since then Cadenza has given us a great roll of latin-like minimal house releases from Alejandro Vivanco, Pikaya and Loco Dice among others.Like Luciano's last Perlon release (excellent IMO) you can expect lots of jazzy latin vibes - great for the warm up:) TracklistA MontanaB FochedremC MasallaD Nunca Tiene Bastante It will be in stores here in October.

And if you have anything on your mind, feel free to comment on my posts or send me an e-mail if ya like: mnmltechno (a) gmail dot com.Cheers:)/Peter.

Recently Hawtin has been working on developing Final Scratch.Expect a bit of everything; from deep house to clicky minimal techno. Enjoy!The mix is made of the following tracks and artists:Cassino & Labén / Oliver Dodd - Elevators and Escalators - Addon /Dub Kult - Crypt - Curle Recordings / Danilo Vigorito - Alnitak (Dark Side) - Inside Orion Minimal Muzik / Click Box - Peek a Boo - Items & Things /John Conrad - Maxi
