The countdown has begun, to the reissue of the year. “Journey of the Deep Sea Dweller”, the first in the Drexciya’s retrospective, when Clone Classic Cuts brings it to us in December 2011. Those in possession of hard-to-find original EPs might be irritated about this mission scrapping the back catalogue’sRead More →
My hands start to caress you, down from the shoulders to your waist… Once I did a tape for my girl and the title track had to be there, for sure. A piece of vinyl sexy as hell, being a good match to Lil Louis’s “French Kiss” in this particular category,Read More →
Recorded from Finnish public radio channel called Radiomafia, the mix contains many usual suspects of the rave scene from the beginning of 1990’s. It’s not really underground, because acts like Channel X, Digital Orgasm, MNO, Holy Noise were found on many major compilations that time. But after a break ofRead More →
This record is just screaming out loud: welcome to Bela Lugosi disco. The horror screen hero himself makes a posthumous appearance in “Galadiner With Boris The Vampyr”, in a track from the extreme end of the album, which is full of filthy EBM and industrial with mashed voices and vocals.

Another mix from a dusty tape. In 1992 I was a lot into hardcore techno but this insane mix with breaks and ragga shouts quickly promoted to the league of my favorite mixes. I recorded it from a Finnish Radiomafia program and it’s credited as Coldcut Mix. ‘There is no lifeRead More →

For the start comes meditative electro in “City Of Fear”, themed for a situationRead More →
In 2011, Dadavistic Orchestra has won many hearts and minds with two beatless LPs in a series called Dokument. For some members of the group – Reinier Brekelmans, Tim Freeman and Robbert Heynen – it was not the first time in the frontline of intellectual electronic music. In the beginningRead More →
It was the day when Mescalinum United gave birth to hardcore. With its devastating nature the track literally manifested the arrival of techno’s new brutal face. Like a whirlwind it swept over the skyscrapers of Frankfurt and introduced the world to the joys of massive kick drum. The intro ofRead More →
