Greetings and salutations, oh devotees of dance.
You’ve probably noticed we’ve undergone cosmetic surgery since the last update. We felt that we were due a facelift after 2 years (which, on the internet, is a lifetime), and have given the blog a fresh new outlay for 2012. Hopefully it’s a little more pleasing on the eyes, and a lot more user friendly, so by all means feel free to wander round aimlessly and peruse at your leisure... Oh, and click ‘Join’. You should definitely do that.
Seeing as though we’re at the tail end of the ‘season of giving’, and because we’re the most generous selfless chaps you could possibly hope to take home to show your parents, we’re having a bit of an “Everything Must Go” blitz to entice you into our world (with, admittedly, the ulterior motive of persuading you to stay). To kick off this year, we’re giving away not one, not two, but FOUR FREE TRACKS from our stable... Truly, we are the good Samaritans of electronic music. So hold off punching in your much-abused credit card details into Beatport for just a minute, and help yourselves to a slice of Techno pie on us:

Leading the charge is our main man Roberto, who’s seen more action just lately than Jordan’s divorce lawyer. His brand of Detroit-influenced Techno has been garnering him praise from luminary artists like Rachmad, L Sessions, Liebing, and Jamie Anderson, so it’s fitting that we offer up a collaboration effort that proves it. This track from Anderson is a showcase of what’s in store for the full remix package when it lands later this year, including a ‘Groove’ mix that Rob crafted as a companion to this. Until then however, this is Rob’s take on Jamie’s track ‘Inova’.

Following closely behind, Chris Page is dealing out dark glitchy basslines like they’re going out of fashion. ‘Reatch’ (ten points if you can name the reference) caters strictly for those of you who only come alive in the latest hours of the night, and his stripped-back signature sound is all over this weapon. Certainly the sort of sinister electronica that would have the likes of Axwell running home to mum, and for that at least, you’ve gotta love it.

As Mr Page’s oft-wingman (Kontrol Room), and a talented DJ in his own right, Dave Johnys has also been kind enough to step up to the plate to donate one of his creations to the digital goody bag. ‘Administration’ was crafted a while ago but has been recently tweaked to fall in line with his more recent output. Driving techy rhythms are the order of the day, so if you’re after some peak-time floor fodder, give this some of your time.

Last but not least, one for the Tech-House faithful. I stitched this together last year with the sole purpose of winning favour at a local festival, that both Dave and myself were due to play at. Sadly the event got cancelled due to the local authorities not seeing eye to eye with the organisers, and i’ve never really had a chance to road test it. Admittedly it’s probably better suited to open-air raves, as opposed to grimy warehouse all-nighters, but if that’s your vice then be my guest.
