Brackles - Songs for Endless Cities
DJ mix CDs and greatest hits comps tend to be mutually exclusive for a reason. The former is generally intended as a snapshot or, more ambitiously, a portrait; the latter intends to put a single career (or scene, or moment) into...

Donato Dozzy - K
Donato Dozzy only plays deep, hypnotic techno that favors a slower tempo. (Indeed, the only time I've ever seen him DJ in person, the BPM never fell below 130.) But it's clear that the Italian producer has a deep, abiding love...

PVT - Church With No Magic
Somehow it makes sense on Warp, which has shifted over the past few years to encompass a plethora of sounds from the indie rock world. Church's best songs utilize the simple, deep grooves of a band like Menomena, a group that...

Youri Donatz - Amadeus
Youri Donatz is back to add another track to what is fast becoming a highly reputable and recognisable body of work for this young artist. Well on the way to establishing a reputation as one of the scenes go-to guys forawesome techhouse remixes and an upcoming EP on DJ PP his label Punta del Esta, this talented DJ and producer is a firm favourite on the club scene.As well as bringing his flair and style to many remixes and collaborating with a number of influential artists, his own personal collection is rapidly gaining traction. His new track is aptly named Amadeus. Probably most famous for being Mozarts middle name, Amadeus means Love of...

Moonbeam - Song For A Girl
Taken from their successful album "Around The World", the guys from Moonbeam present their brand new single "Song For A Girl" released on Black Hole Recordings.Featuring the haunting voice from Blackfeel Wite, "Song For A Girl" is a huge synthetic vocal trancer. Those who pay close attention to the original album version will hear not only Depeche Mode influences but Moog sweeps that might as well have been played by French Moog pioneer Jean Jacques Perrey. The subtly played theme is supported by magnificent synths with an almost tornado style, swirling sound. The changes between the verses and chorus are underlined by a banging snare drum,...
Image
Unknown - Blackout
Full admission: The first few times I played "Blackout" it was at 33rpm, not its intended 45. But you know what? I thought it sounded great. The confusion can be attributed to two things. First, my own stupidity. And second, Dave Huismans' sheer multiplicity of late. It's unclear whether Huismans wishes this inaugural 12-inch on his low-key Blackout imprint to be thought of as 2562, A Made Up Sound or neither; although you have to ask yourself, with the surfacing of this latest sterling release, does it actually matter? A-side "Blackout" stretches its synths out across a washboard, making for a granular, pitched-up feel that (I'm hoping)...
Image
Hyetal - Phoenix
The influence of the "unremembered '80s" in music is considerable, and it's a force that finally seems to be invading even the insular confines of dance music. Hyetal is one of Bristol's brightest new talents, showing little regard for the goings-on around him and embellishing his productions to saturation point with vibrant colour. His first release in several months comes on the new Orca label, only the imprint's second—but they're tracks that would normally be reserved for the highest echelons of established labels. I get the same feeling from these tracks that I did from Joker's original run of singles—the sound of pure personality...
Image
Svpreme Fiend - Killer EP
Anyone using cyclical metallic beats and ghostly vocals these days is bound to get the name Burial thrown at them. Most of the time, it's justified. But Burial wasn't the first to employ the aesthetic he popularized and he's not going to have the last word on it either, at least if producers like Svpreme Fiend have anything to say about the matter. Svpreme Fiend is a young producer out of New York snatched up by London's Local Action label, and he makes nocturnal 2-step that can't help but recall Burial. But the music here seems far more indebted to Burial's predecessors, the clean and snappy sound miles away from that producer's fog and...
Image
Cosmin TRG - Tower Block
TRG seems to have his finger in every pie these days, dripping with influences from dubstep, rave, UK funky and techno. Cosmin Nicolae's 2010 output has been trending progressively weirder and weirder, and it seemed like on his last release ("See Other People" for Rush Hour) that these oddball tendencies were threatening to overtake his groove. His first release for Untold's Hemlock label is his most overtly techno release yet, with the BPMs dipping below 130 and the sounds apparently inspired by Ostgut. This is still relatively new territory for Nicolae, which means he's not yet completely free from that awkward "transitional" stage. As...

Plastikman confirmed for Time Warp Mar 27 2010

Richie Hawtin will play live at the Mannheim festival for the first time since 2004.

Promoters of the Mannheim's Time Warp festival have confirmed that this year's event will include a live performance by Plastikman, Richie Hawtin's early production alias.

It was under this moniker that Hawtin released much of his seminal work, including singles like "Krakpot," "Spastik," and albums like Artifakts and Musik. In addition to performing live as Plastikman, Hawtin will also DJ alongside the usual who's who of techno and minimal superstars, including Ricardo Villalobos, Sven Vath, Laurent Garnier, Loco Dice and more. Plastikman has also been confirmed for the Coachella Festival in California on April 18th.  


It’s official now! Time Warp Mannheim will be taking place on Saturday, March 27th, 2010 at Maimarkthalle Mannheim.

After a massive celebration of the 15th anniversary in 2009, the popular German event will be heading into the new decade

And naturally, Time Warp will stay true to itself in the 2010s – ever breaking new ground, pushing technological frontiers and still delivering a party as intimate and intensive as possible.

In the same way, the “International Festival For Jetztmusik And Media Arts” will host a colorful program of events and shows in the week before Time Warp.

Time Warp lab will continue its successful series of workshops for amateurs and professionals from the cultural and music industry.

The artist bill for Time Warp Mannheim is of course going to maintain the same high quality standard that visitors are used to. The Line Up will be announced with our next press update in November.

Advance ticket sales will start as early as October 15th, 2009 with a limited Early Bird ticket at a discounted price.
