Ø PHASE - Binary Opposition (process 3)

What a stunning techno beauty this is. The attention to detail that Ø [Phase] has is unparalleled. His debut album, Frames Of Reference, has been in the making for almost twelve years and "Binary Opposition (process 3)" is the opening track. Its rhythmic texture is refined and the BPM is tickled down which gives the track a rather light and peaceful feeling.

ZADIG - TTRXL

Peltier Sylvain is a techno producer from Paris and is the crème de la crème of techno livesets. I haven't heard a lot of deejays live that match Sylvain's level of intensity and power. Here's his latest.

"TTRXL" came out late January '13 and is one of my favorite Zadig track. It's incredibly fast-paced, has a lot of power, swing and attitude.

AXEL BOMAN - Purple Drank

How's this for a love song? Listening to this 3 year old (!) masterpiece makes me wanna grind a tree like Balou from Jungle Book. Boman energized the track with a calmly thrusting groove and redefined the meaning of the word sexySinging "I woke up with your name on my lips" is touching and almost poetic, isn't it? Purple drank, however, is not very poetic. It's slang for cough syrup and that explains why the vocal is so vague.

I can't believe "Purple Drank" was released in August '10 and I never heard it before. Makes me wonder what kind of unknown treasures are still out there waiting for us to press the play button.
