You will find in this category each week, a review on a top vinyl which is breaking the news. All styles are on the “menu” of this category: minimal, house, electro, techno or even trance in some cases.
The topic will be supplemented by other albums following the latest electronic music news.
Pillar of the German electronic music scene, Marc Romboy has surrounded himself for his new EP "Musik" of a singer with whom he had worked previously: Blake Baxter. The man, who had put his voice especially on "Underground Thang" in 2007, is once again at the origins of an underground production with a dark voice, still effective. The EP consists of two tracks. There are the original version and the remix of Kink, a Bulgarian producer at the top of his art and who made recently an excellent remix of "Muchness" composed by Pete Tong and Mark Knight that we reviewed. Productions are as you'd expect, between techno and minimal!
70th release of the label Systematic Recordings, it is already the sixth collaboration between the two artists. For 5 years now, the two friends team up annually to release techno tracks. There were indeed, first in 2005 "Freakin', then "House Ya" and "The Club", and also "Underground Thang" (2007), "Fly Away" (2008) and finally "Where Would You Be?" last year.
After the release of "Lake of Nivelles” some weeks ago, produced in the company of our friend Rodriguez Jr., Marc Romboy returns with a darker production. The track is notably playlisted by Josh Wink, John Digweed, D'Julz, and Pete Tong. It is further considered by Stephan Bodzin, as the best production from 2010, up today!
For those unaware of the glittering background of Mr. Baxter, you should know that he holds a place as one of the protagonists in the historical development of Detroit techno. His legendary releases on Underground Resistance, Tresor and Incognito are still firm favorites in the boxes of many of todays big jocks. Marc Romboy is surrounded by one of the heavyweights of the techno world and gave birth to a dark production that we really love...
Finally, in terms of future productions, Marc Romboy is about to release two new bombs with his mate Stephan Bodzin. First in October, there will be the fantastic "Triton" and then in January 2011 the album "Luna", I can announce to you exclusively. Marc Romboy and Stephan Bodzin will certainly offer us in the next few weeks other surprises soon.
