Artist:	TERRANOVA
Title:	So Strong
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	KOM 246EP

Terranova's latest incarnation includes Berlin's house staple &ME. For this single, the duo called in Khan for some underground awesomeness. So Strong commands its army of listeners to the floor. Both the title-track and "Boogie For The Dollar" make for a double headliner that takes you on a beguiling trip to the dark side of the club. No only do Terranova's sequencing and beat programming deliver, the package also sports some of the best vocals Khan has churned out to date.

Title:	Hotel Amour
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	2LP+CD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	KOM 248LP

Gatefold double LP version with a free CD version. Terranova member Fetisch Bergmann witnessed the beginnings of club culture, and he was there when house and techno started to blossom. As an early adopter, he simply doesn't see the benefit of rehashing what has gone before, but wants to move forward, seizing the future he was promised in the days of yore by the likes of Larry Levan, Grandmaster Flash, Ron Hardy or Lee Perry. Whether teen punk, hip-hop's first European trainee or house DJ in the most legendary booths of the late '80s, Fetisch inhaled the glamour of the night and learned the tricks of the trade from those who knew it best. Originally conceived in 1996, Terranova became Fetisch's go-to project to explore new club territory and collaborate with like-minded people, building his own cult following ever since. Kompakt truly feels honored to be the home to an artist drawing on such a rich background in club culture, especially with new album Hotel Amour being poised for actual world dominance. But whoever wants to conquer the world has to get there first. With much of the album's ideas conceived on a night train between Berlin and Paris (Fetisch's second home), these tracks certainly share their creators' wanderlust, never settling in one place, but staying eager with new rhythmic landscapes (and hotel rooms). Together with Berlin's house staple and Terranova fellow &Me (a member of the act since 2007), they pour new wine in the old bottles of dance's dramaturgy, respecting the formula, but not necessarily sticking to it. Heavy, bouncing bass drums fuse with juicy synths, high-precision sequencing rules the frequency range, and an armada of guest vocalists bring their own brand of seduction to the fore: Whomadewho's Thomas Høffding, husky-voiced Billie Ray Martin, eternal globetrotter Snax, German underground celebrity Udo Kier, acclaimed actress Nicolette Krebitz as well as the one and only Khan, all lend their voices to the album.

Title:	Painkiller EP
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	KOM 262EP

Terranova presents the Painkiller EP, a densely-textured collection of highly addictive floor tunes and the latest chapter in their ongoing house saga. Firmly rooted in the escapist tradition of house narrators, this EP strings together the distinctive timbres of both trained and untrained voices, putting side-by-side the smooth indie expertise of Whomadewho's Tomas Høffding aka Bonhomme and the expressive wisdom of French DJ Jennifer Cardini. These tracks marry raw emotion and a sense of doom with a strong urge to work that body.
