LISTEN ON BANDCAMP

PRESS RELEASE

“For our 90th release we have scouted five new producers into our roster, closing the compilation with a sixth cut by our dear Miss Electric.

From the exotic location of Bangkok surges the opening track of our first free compilation. ‘Gangsta’, a Detroit Techno affair produced by Sascha Zastiral, a German world citizen with releases coming out since 1996 on labels like Terminal M, Holzplatten and Primate Recordings UK.

Right next for the second track, we are proud to finally introduce you to Barcelona’s infamous veteran of Nitsa Club, founder of the mythical Electroclub nights, DJ / Producer, graffiti artist and old friend of the house, the great Jose Spy a.k.a. The Bandit; who joins the family presenting us all with a track containing a high dose of ‘Mental Acidism’.

Let’s jump on a plane and land on Minsk, Belarus. Homeland of Denis Sinitsyn and Sergey Maksimchuka, the mend behind Energun and Energun Records. With their unique style, their début track is a statement on purpose: ‘Decaying Reality’ evokes in your brain exactly what the track title implies.

From Belarus we hitchhike to Hungary and dig into the newest demos of Sopron’s newest techno export Akos Veecs, convincing him to deliver a dark and heavy techno cut, topped with just the right amount of 303 acid lines forming a clever ‘Patterns’.

‘Hit The Deck’ is Sceptical C’s invaluable début contribution to this free release. A track produced in Amsterdam, that has been already heavily road tested and approved by The Baron himself, Dave Clarke.

To close the compilation, besides thanking you enormously again for your unconditional support after five years of releases; we would like to present you with ‘Analytical Solution’, the newest old-school-favoured techno output from our beloved Miss Electric, whose past releases on Different Is Different Records include future classics like ‘Invisibility’, a track that is on Ben Sim’s playlists still today.”

The Original Track:

Another release from Barcelona, this time with seasoned producer and live act artist Polygon.

Three original tracks, guaranteed to rock the crowd if played on the right place and time. Heavy grooved minimal techno from one of Catalunya’s finest exports of the underground techno scene. Psycho Babe is a relentless bass-driven heavy groover. Frivolous Living brings a funkier techno approach, whle Stone Hearted comes with a more laid-back feeling.

If you play it, please chart it!

Red Square remixes Greencross’ ‘Dimensional’, slowing down the tempo, and injecting even more soul to his rework, taking it to almost unprecedented depths of detroit techno.

Greencross remixes Red Square’s ‘Dark Roast’ into a peak time groover, with an absolute absence of rise and sweep FX, this remix exploits the rhythmic patterns of the funkyest raw techno beats.

If you play it, please chart it!

For a second appearance, straight from Venezuela, Leo Fernández is back on Different Is Different Records with Nubeluz.

Nubeluz Version 1 is a dance floor oriented, broken beat techno track. Dark, laid on an industrial ground. Massive breakdown and comeback. Peak time action is guaranteed if used with caution and mastery.

Nubeluz Version 2, an even more accentuated broken beat boasts a powerful and somewhat melancholic melody that drives you down to the underworld where perhaps Leo got his inspiration to create this composition. Nevertheless this body of work will maximise your actual state of being. Caution is a must: If you are in a good mood, the music will lift you to a higher dimension; now be careful if you are feeling down because it’ll suck you into the abyss of dense and low vibrations.
