have you got a link?
Too right Matt... the track has a deep, rumbling sub-bassline and uses an emotional Byork sample. Sounds dodgy, I know, but it's a beautiful piece of work that could lift any techno set.
Why isn't there more stuff like this?
Mark, I don't know if u can hear tracks on the site, but check www.londontechno.co.uk for more info.
yeeeeeah boyyyeeeee its out of hand... cheeky bastards id just got that bjork sample to stick in a progger...
mark it's on the new techno releases page on bangingtunes.com
wow that sample is plain as day isn't it.
Apparently, Sasha's been playing this (dropped it at Glastonbury for sure). I know he's not techno... but he's always had amazing taste IMO.
Dirty Blue 2's out soon... It's got similar bass :D
can't even find number 1! :cry:
Got a couple left Si. Let me know and I'll bring one to the Mini Sunburn on Friday.
I'll take one Mr Meri! SOLD! See you at the Minisunburn thingy... 8)
yeah got it, think it has to be the perfect time to drop it though, but it works for sure
Was a free launch party last thurs somewhere near Liverpool St with DB playing along with some other london techno stalwarts (which I missed :roll: ). There's another one on the 4 sept (Open Source Recordings launch night) with Dirty Blue and Pat Hurley doing a backtoback 'Dark House' Set, Seb marx live and Jeff Amadeus on 3 decks. Worth a punt methinks.

beutifull tune,ive had it for bout four-five months but ive only played it out once or twice....kinda one of those tunes ya only pull out now and then...something special for the ladies hehehe
the mastering on this track is terrible. i dont even wanna play it cause it sounds so bad compared to all the other tracks.
the other side is ok, the bjork track stinks, but im sure if u liked bjork then u would appreciate it maybe
SASHA AND AMAZING SHOULD NOT BE IN THE SAME BLEEDIN SENTANCE! MATEQuote:

Ok, well, My first release has caused a bit of controversy(?) all over the shop so let me clear a few things up.
The Bjork thing was an accident. I`d just sorted a distribution deal with Electronik Music Distribution, and Pat Hurley heard the Bjork tune (which I did mainly for myself), and he kinda bludgeoned me into releasing it.
And I can see why now, the tune has turned out to be a massive hit, and has paved the way for the continuation of the label (which is entirely self financed). Although I don`t think I`ll be doing too much of this sort of commercialism. Although underneath all the Bjork and stuff, it`s still grindy and grimey. Still for a first release by an unknown, it`s done alright and is on the 3rd re-pressing, although I`m not sure if getting caned by Sasha is cool or not??
The Label will continue with one side tech-house, and one side hard techno, and hopefully, the mastering is much better (you never stop learning). the next release is imminent. And in fact is up for pre-sales at bangingtunes.com
Who am I, well I was the nice guy who co-ran Pendulum Soundsystem in London, and has given up puttin on squat parties, as I just couldn`t keep fighting off the crack heads forever, and couldn`t stand by and let it happen either.
We have a club night "White Label" every other thursday in London aimed at promoting Producers and Record Labels rather than DJ`s.
Last week was cool, Sebastian Marx Live was Top. He is gonna be one to watch.
We are trying to give London a bit more techno, and generally just supporting the scene by giving producers an outlet.
I may well be getting on to Henry, Chris et all at some point in the future, although at the mo we are running the night completely free, so we can`t afford to pay em.
Next week we have
Getafix Records
G.H.A.R (coalesce)
James Kinetec (Stay up Forever, Power Tools)
Dirty Bass (DirtyBlue/Dirty Bass Records)
Rob Wash (Stinky Pink)
and White Label Crew
Full Details at http://www.londontechno.co.uk
Come down, we need your support to keep hold of the venue (which is really nice)
Anyway take it easy folks and

well good luck to ya
I liked it..no qaurms
and number 2 sounds like a big monster tune aswell..ive ordered it.
Hey yo il come and play your "White Label" night...just fly me out from New Zealand :lol:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarse!! Still awake, working on DB03 (should be doing a release a month from now on), Mucking about with r`n`b style groove quantising, really throwing everything way off the beat. Works for r`n`b but doesn`t work for techno, don`t bother trying it (hey ya gotta experiment though right?). Just wasted hours.
Oh due to there being another Dirty Blue records (in manchester) my label name is Changing to DirtyBass Records (still keeping the DB serial).

So being in the world of underground techno, you are in a fix, cos you wanna spread the word, but if you get big airplay by the majors, you get panned, just like guy and the boys are getting accused (by some) of selling out.
Sasha has helped me enormously, by playing my record across the globe, and boosting my sales, but now my mates (who are still putting on squat parties ie StinkyPink and friends) are ribbing me for it.
So in a way, it`s cool, cos I`m getting global coverage, an in a way, it sucks, cos me mates think I`m gonna start popping off to ibiza for champers with da commercial set (sooooo likely).
**** it, I just wanna make and play what I want, it`s what I`ve always done anyway.

ok...
::Mr.HankeyVoice::
Relax Guy, we got ya.
Respect mate - that's all you can do and no-one should ask any more of you. Personally I loved both sides of your record. Something different, and it's hardly your fault (if fault should even be the right word) that Sasha decided it was a wicked tune.Quote:

Way too much caffeine in my system last night.
There are ways around it... "Dave the Drummer gave Sasha an amazing kicking" for example ;)Quote:

sounds familiar!!Quote:

Sasha used to do Twilo in Nyc...............I;m not crying that he's gone. But I do agree we can't help who likes our stuff. Then again no one wants to hear that your song hit number one in Iraq either.
Was down there chatting to you last Thursday mate, cheers for the free vinyl and a top night :D My mates and I will be back down for the next one definitely.Quote:
