The multi-talented Tokyo-based Ozzy ex-pat Andrez Bergen makes a welcome return to Dead Channel with four solid cuts of main-room friendly techno.

These tracks evoke the sounds of Berlin’s legendary Berghain club and its residents Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock – deep, shuffling slabs of late-night funk – but also retain that playful approach to production that we’ve come to associate with Little Nobody.

Recommended to all fans of quality deep techno.

After a year of polluting the underground rave scene with atrocious, viscerally-coagulated beat spasms, they then retreated back to their secret lair in the Yorkshire mountains to push their manifesto of medical-grade noise to it’s logical conclusion. The chromosomes of Coldcut, Point B, Modeselektor, Reso and Venetian Snares have been spliced into a genetically modified hyper-toxic foetus, in an unprecedented and highly illegal collaboration with NASA and HP Sauce. The classified recordings of these unnatural experiments and irresponsible sound crimes, are presented here for your delectation and displeasure.

It’s Not Rocket Surgery but it sure as hell feels like it!

You have been warned.

Robota is re-interpreted by a host of artists including: E383, Chris Kubex, Micoland, Ant Orange, Prekids, Noisepsalm and Dave Blakemore to name a few.

You can pick up the IF? Version of this release, which features more exclusive mixes and costs a very agreeable £4.99 from here: http://www.junodownload.com/products/1441598-02.htm

Ant´s trademark slick production and love of Roland´s little silver box are well known, but the same can´t be said of all of the gems on this release. While it includes some tracks you may have heard (´Don´t Call Me Roland´ from ´One For The Ladies´) it will undoubtedly contain some that you haven´t, and the opportunity to own the best of Ant´s acid ramblings for the one off special price of free, is an opportunity you really shouldn´t miss.

Acieeeeeeed!

Hailing from Tokyo –via Australia- Andrez is as prolific as they come, and as well as producing under his many aliases still finds time to run the IF? Records label and write for a number of publications.

Busy boy… and ‘I have Become So Many People…’ is possibly our favourite Little Nobody release on Dead Channel so far. Andrez’s trademark sample-laden, cut-and-paste style is interwoven with a funk, glitch and humour all his own; a true original for sure.

An original track from each artist is re-interpreted here by a plethora of remix artists. First up is Asymptote’s ‘How it Went’ with remixes from Noisepsalm and Micoland. Next up is Noisepsalm with a track taken from his highly regarded Dead Channel release ‘The Injured Aerm Army’; ‘Hybernation Sickness’ sees Asymptote, Micoland, Kubex, Wobble & Dubb, Rhedcerulean and Little Nobody on remix duties.

The package is nicely rounded off with a live re-working of Hybernation Sickness from Noispsalm himself.

Hailing from Athens, Greece, Dimomib’s approach to techno shares the same attention to detail, dark cavernous spaces and dub sensibilities as heard on his earlier work for the label. This time however the focus moves from the after party to the dance floor, with considerable panache.

Lovers of deep, dark, brooding techno, dub and superbly crafted dense atmospheres should definitely check this out.

Waves of deeper than deep beats intermingle with creeping melodies to create a perfect soundscape for Holly’s haunting vocals. Fans of Portishead, Lamb and Massive Attack should definitely check this album out, although Traverse manages to achieve a personal sound that defies direct comparison.

An album that reveals it’s many layers with repeated listening, and could serve as the perfect soundtrack to your post-club sessions and deep-chilled moments, Traverse proved an instant winner with everyone here, we hope you enjoy it too.

Leeds legend and a man who surely can’t remain in the shadows of the underground for long, Prod makes his welcome debut on Dead Channel with a collection of gems from his personal archive.

Multi instrumentalist, achingly talented and completely devoid of the sort of ego you normally associate with such things, Prod has honed his craft almost to the point of absolute perfection. Although this album lacks a lot of the vocal and instrumental elements that are such a feature of his new material (check the awesome new album ‘The Artworks Formerly known as Prints’ out now on Pollinate Records) it still has a musical depth that many attain to, yet few attain.
Add to that a dose of fun, and a keen eye on the dance floor and you have what will, we’re sure, become a future Dead Channel classic.
