Choke Price EP

3 tracks for an all Techno EP with the 90’s taste.
TR 909, Industrial noises, metallic anvils and distorted pads are the elements that create the sound of George Lanham.
His English style underline the 90’s concept, the musical power of industrial machines sound and mechanical gears within a total atmosphere of darkness.
A sound of a world genetically modified. A perfect sound track for a science movie, ‘Tetsuo’ for instance.
”Choke Price” make us think at one of the most cult techno production of London entitled ”We have arrived” made by Mescalinum United and then remixed by Aphex Twin, where industrial pads and metallic anvils give the imagine of working robots.
In ”Breakaway Church” and ” This Sceptical Isle” distortion kicks, mechanical gear samples and hypnotics snares sound like car’s pistons make us think at the industrial production of The Mover and to Robert Armani’s techno.
An Ep that relieve the emotions of the big techno revolution of the 90’s.

Unmistakable Alejandro Trebor’ style. Although his young age he’s on top of the European techno Music.
Three adjectives to describe his EP on The-Zone rec: MENTAL, HYPNOTICS, DEEP.
Six tracks where technique and groove are mix perfectly. A sound that make feel the mystery darkness sorrounding of the techno Detroit World.
In ” Get Money” ” Punk” and ”After many years” deep basses, echo voices, spatial pads and compressed kicks create a worrying atmosphere thanks also to the sharp snares that remember the Minus rec’s production of R.H.
Listening to these tracks it seems to see the planet from very far away.
The hypnotic side characterizes most the tracks”Don’t you know” and ” Soul Hunter” with deep kicks, alien voices and dark synth that let us think to the minimal techno production of Ruskin and Basic Channel.
Track ‘‘13130” that give the name to the EP is a masterwork, anexpression of the night’s feelings.
Deep and dark voices, deep basses and kicks make us imagine the moves of industrial machines at work where echo hihat creates the night’sound for a truly deep song.
A celebral-techno Ep.
The best way to begin 2012.

Andreas Florin, young yet already the representative of the European Dark-Techno Movement presents an EP all based around the track “Red Cloud”.Collaborating with some of the best DJ’s on the scene remixes are provided by the likes of Niereich vs Mike Ban & Dietmar Wohl , Kuniaki Takenaga , David Christoph , Ambivalent and Gabeen.

Tracks all focusing on the deep and  industrial sound which is currently hot in the Dark techno record market.

This type of music is more examples of the self defined “a mixture of all kinds of Techno-elements” motion, echoing such artists as The Advent, Jeff Mills, and other names of the Detroit Scene, its source of inspiration coming from its first encounters with electronic music.

From all the remixes the unique sound of all the artists is clear.

Kuniaki Takenaga and Niereich vs Mike Ban & Dietmar Wohl focus on the bass and drums of a track that reverberate throughout calling on many of the original sounds of the famous city of Detroit, the city that gave birth to Techno.

Other artists like DavidChristoph and Ambivalent focus more on transforming the track into one perfect for the clubbing scene. Whereas Gabeen remixes his tracks with a stronger bpm, harder drums and a deeper base that leaves no respite.

All the versions differ greatly, but all guaranty to send the dance floor crazy.

This is an EP that will leave a mark!

THE-ZONE returns to the sound of Techno. Frankie Serious presents an eclectic 6 tracks EP that involves different subgenres, but with a common attention to the different forms of nowadays Techno.

Everything is enhanced by elements coming from analog synths that warm up the sound and feed it with soul. From the opening first track called “HYBRIS”, where synths and “timestretching” experimentations draw an immediate energetic drive, to the dark and hypnotic sound built up on a deep bassline from the following track: “NOVA”.

“CELLS”, the track which gives the name to the whole EP, sounds personal and intimate: the minimal and hypnotic rhythmic matrix creates a substrate that supports a melodic sharp synth-lead.

“SUBCOLOURS” is a great impact track: dark techno built on a deep bassline, strictly oriented to the dancefloor.

The last 2 tracks are “SONAV” and “RES”: the first one is really essential and, in a different way, “old style”: obviously techno, with some classic percussive elements from past drum machines; the last track, “RES”, is the dirtiest one, including a massive kick that confirms and emphasizes a release which THE-ZONE RECORDS is proud to propose you.

Electro is the music of robots, and robots, nowadays, are conquering the Russia, with the help of newcomer ALH.

Hard to believe that this debut EP is coming from the East, where ice and lowest temperatures have the power during the full year.

Every track has something of special, a kaleidoscope with a lot of influences: from Detroit Electro (Dx Game, Igm) with a lot of basses, synthetic melodic lines and synchopated rhythms, to Breaks and Breakbeat (Last Rave, Apparatus) via Electro Techno in drexciyan mode with Acid influences (Cyborg, Nationalist), which sounds as the perfect mix between music from sea and music coming from the laboratories of mad scientist.

Have you ever think to robot zar who brings new music to Kremlin and Red Square?

Very deep & dark atmosphere for this twentieth release by The Zone Records, which continues with a series of intelligent techno.

This time with this powerful French duo: M.A.D.A. & Plankton.

The 19th release by The Zone Records is a great debut and a “special gift” for the summer! As the title suggests (something different) something different, Something unique and cool that was missing at this label.

The latest releases were totally techno, with this new label wants to remember his vision of “electronic music to 360°”.

It’s a surprise completely played acoustic and analogic , absolutely eclectic.

Seven tracks signed by the duo TraXiss where Pop, Funk, Chicago House, Disco, Breakbeat and imagination blend together to create the sound of this new French reality. A band that is not satisfied with the groove and digitally sampled sounds, but rather, they love the analog sound with electric guitars, acoustic bass, vocals live and much much more.

“March Of The Ghosts” is the song that opens the album where bass, drums, pad, scratch are mixed in a perfect and brilliant style to recall the sound of “Gorillaz” and Other Big International names of Pop.

“Brothers & Sisters” is the real gem of the album. The Vocal Live of Medi Roch is the French response to the influence of the DISCO with the classic Chicago House, a must for collectors.

The journey then moves sound from DISCO to Electronic Funk “Improve”, where electric guitars, acoustic bass, percussion, drum machines and Fx give the perfect example of how to integrate the electronics noise.

In “Veridik” and “Look the Bitch” takes over the rhythm in 4 / 4 perfect for the dance floor with electro bass, effects and vocal samples, creating a sound more European influence close to the production of “Chemical Brothers” and “Daft Punk “.

The end of the album is without words. Two pearls which will remain in our minds for so long. The first is “Microcosmos” HipHop gearing with references to soundtracks of popular arcade games 80s ,in this case the “Luigi’s Theme” revisited so incredible, totally echo sound environments from the world of fantasy to the sounds as “Boards Of Canada”.

The second is “Au Revoir” smooths out the groove and feeling leaving almost five minutes with his hands up, the perfect “grand finale” for all your big event, you really left speechless.
