Monotone US 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Dynamik Bass System with the latest 12 from the Monotone label. Four solid tracks of electro goodness here from DBM, with a definite nod given to the Miami Booty bass scene, as deep rumbling sub-bass, crisp, rolling breaks, vocoder vocals, and percolating analog elements all helping the main floor crowds move.

Review: The kings of electro bass are back with two unreleased tracks that will show why these guys are one of the most influential electronic groups ever. Dynamix II has been sampled more times than they can count and their name precedes them. This 12' is not resting on their name and reputation alone. Two slammin' electro bombs are present on this return and are already causing a buzz without it even hitting the stores yet. 'Sedona', appears on Baby Anne's new mix CD 'I'm About To Break' on Moonshine Music as well as Merlyn's mix CD 'Spell Of Light', on Streetbeat.

Review: Limited edition clear vinyl (only 1000 copies). Exzakt has been re-pressed by popular demand. If you missed out on them before, now is your chance to get them before it's too late.

Review: Monotone does not let up and comes with this mega remix EP featuring 4 remixes from hot electro artists. These are remixes of classic Exzakt tracks and each remix gives a new perspective while keeping true to the originals. First to start things off, Miami's Hydraulix take "Clarity" to a new ground with a hard steady beat and a nice break down topped off with a vocal not found in the original. Second is Madrid's Boris Divider reworking "Dark Mind". With a lighter more minimal approach its a nice addition to the overall hard remix 12". On the flip Dexorcist hailing from London brings a new sound to one of Exzakt's most famous tracks "Transfusion" which is the original version of "Musik Is The Drug". Again this one is a dancefloor killer and will not disappoint. Finally we end up back in Miami with Alpha 606, but these guys bring a whole new meaning to Miami electro when live conga percussion grace the track. Great edits and a deep take on the Exzakt Classic "Sleeping With The Enemy". A very diverse remix 12" yet the sound on each track will keep the attention of any breaks and electro DJ or listener around the globe.

Review: Monotone brings you a gathering of reworked cuts taken from Exzakt's 'Alpha_Omega' album as well as unreleased material. Updated feel delivers a relentless electrocore anthem based upon crunchy beats, nasty pads, wild scratch parts & top notch industrial strings.

Review: Check out this non stop attack of full frontal Electro bass with tested club bangers & unreleased future bombs. Sound systems will be pushed to their limits with Exzakt's upfront hard hitting style & will keep the listener on their toes with constant bone-shattering bass.

Review: Precision is fittingly the name of veteran producer Exzakt's game, as he wrist-flicks a knife edge new selection of hurtful and piercing electro tunes our way, 'Essential Cuts'. The whole thing's got a measured sharpness of of about HRC-100. Of course, this LP is a masterclass of fighting with both old and new blades, as classic tracks are stylistically woven in with new productions to a degree that we can't tell the difference between old and new. There's merit to laconically staying rooted in your production ways; Jensen Interceptor adds a blade of hay to the needlestack on the old-skool axe bit 'Me My 808', which snaps away into oblivion.

Review: With a sleazy electro steez that would make The Egyptian Lover blush, Exzakt and BFX shore up on Monotone with the kind of dark and steamy workout that can't fail to do the damage in the club. 'Nasty Girl' rides a razor sharp 808 beat with some Kraftwerk embellishments, a dirty line in monosynths and some creepy vocoder action. If the vox are too much, there's a stripped back 'Beats' mix too, while on the B side BFX goes it alone on the bleepy 'Jelly', and Exzakt rounds things out with the more atmospheric, sci-fi channeling 'Taking Over The System'.

Review: Ghosts In The Machine are the attackers on this Monotone release with some in your face electrocore madness. On the a-side appears the much anticipated and overdue release of "We Own The Algorithms" where we find solid drum programming and a powerful vocoder chorus. The b-side features two more bombs starting with "Merciless Killing Machines" which is a GITM favourite at live shows, finally put down on wax for official release. Last and certainly not least is "Inside The Kill Box" and you could say the best comes last with this unique electro killer. Ghosts In The Machine drops their sophomore EP and shows they are a force to be reckoned with.

Review: Exzakt is back with one half of the electro-core masters Jackal & Hyde.

Review: Monotones seventh outing features Miami's premier electro bass duo Hydraulix and their latest 12" "Bounce". Once again the label comes with the heat and possibly Hydraulix's best 12" to date. Side A brings the title track Bounce with distorted kick drums and solid snares that ride you to the break with high energy. A perfect blend of Miami bass and distorted electro crunchiness. A2 gives you the juicy parts as a DJ tool. Side B jumps off with Basstown which is a more straight 808 and vocoder number with Hydraulix's signature crisp beats. This cut is a perfect bridge of electro breaks and electro bass. "Nympho" ends this 12" off but don't consider this a inside cut filler because once again heavy 808 beats and the moans and groans give you a hint of the reason for the track title.

Review: The masters of electrocore are back with their first EP since 2004. The wait was well worth it as Jackal & Hyde comes with a fresh new sound that is in your face. "I Control Your Body" is a 4 track EP that shows why Scott Weiser and Todd Walker are at the top of their game, with their signature sound that we have grown to trust. The title track "I Control Your Body" is an instant classic, while "Flesh Has Made You Great" is a mastery of synth lines, riding bass, hard beats, and haunting vocals. The b-side features a new twist on one of the duo's best selling tracks "Go Bang". This will be rocking the clubs all over again just like it did when it first came out years ago. Ending the 12" is a remix of "I Control Your Body", which could be considered an entirely different track as it has variations on all the beats and patterns. Overall, plenty of variety to chose from and you can never go wrong with Jackal & Hyde.

Review: Brice Kelly's brand of electro has always tended towards the crunchier, more breakbeat-driven end of the TR-808-driven spectrum, combining weighty basslines and snappy beats with far-sighted electronic motifs and dark aural textures. That sound is much in evidence across mini-album 'Preparing For The Future', with the multitide of highlights including spacey, sci-fi electro gem 'Preparing For The Future', the frankly filthy (and utterly brilliant) 'Oscillators Move Me', the star-fall electronics, crystalline melodies and slipped computer beats of 'Toxic People', and the simultaneously moody and glacial 'We're Alone'. A fine collection of futurist electro gems.

Review: Anthony Rother and Larry McCormick team up as Netzwerk Florida to bring you a unique electro cut entitled "Earth Wind Fire". This top Monotone release has scratching female vocals and a classic vocoder over a club killer bass beat!

Review: Four super solid tracks of electro madness. Imatran Voima re-introduces two of their biggest cuts with "In Out" and "Techno Slut". Re-mastered then re-mixed, these four tracks leave nothing to be desired except listening and spinning them again. On the a-side sits the two original masterpieces with a new level of quality known from the Monotone Brand. On the b-side we find the first cut remixed by Jackal (of Jackal & Hyde). The inside cut is the slam-dunk on this release. Exzakt and Dynamik Bass System team up. Two thumbs up.
