Susanne Brokesch is from Vienna, Austria and she has recorded electronic music for labels like Cheap (under the name Sil) & Sahko (as Sil Electronics). This is here debut solo album and it is a stunning record of lo-ambient atmospherics. She is credited with playing acoustic guitar, dugi-dugi, maracas & electric bass, but that does little to explain the soundscapes developed here; the mysterious clickings, cloaked pulsations and general attention to sound detail that makes this such an enthralling listen. Beautiful, mystery-laden design for both formats as well.

"It's Carlos Abraham Duque, who is behind Kirlian. Born in the country of Ecuador he is one of the leading DJ´s and producers in New York; his own outlets Tension Music, Rancho Relaxo Records & Inner Sanctum are his family and his studio is based in the Spanish quarter in Hollis, New York. He travels regularly on huge DJ-tours throughout Europe, was part of Panasonic's US-tour, is member of the electronic supergroup The Rancho Relaxo Allstars and last not least- he is the 'King of Hollis' (see booklet/artwork).
Pleasure Yourself
, Kirlian's second full length album, presents an extra-wide view of modern, developing techno-music: mystic club-tools, intense techno futurism, space-jazz-trip-hop and at least cheesy listening. Not to forget the 'I like to pleasure myself'-medley, unique in music history, an outing monster in the techno world.
Pleasure Yourself
is a highlight where humour, musical brilliancy and subtlety fuse together."

"Since
Der Separator
, Hans Platzgumers first recording on Disko B records, he has refined his secret blend of spices to a grand recipe. You could say his music is 'extreme tracking', the final turnback on the late dramaturgy of songstructure.
Fingerfood
was executed together with fellow cooks Gerhard Potuznik (recording artist on Viennas Cheap, Morbid and Sabotage imprints) and Michael Sauer.
Fingerfood
definitely is nouvelle cuisine, it appears as a masterpiece of reduction without the nowadays easy to apply minimalism tag. Platzgumer's approach to playing music is 'hot', the selection of spicy sounds and the knowledge of the boiling point serve as his kitchen secret. Main ingredients that he used are Funk, House, Electro and TripHop."

He also produces music for theater and radio plays about subjects like war, entertainment, girl-groups, sound and destruction. In the archive of the dancing datas: test and testify! I heard this strange chord and the last session on the rooftop. Back to the beginning and forwarded by deep frequencies. Following the needle and damage it does. Between the ruins: stars. Can you get addicted to too much chorus on a hi-hat? The man who used to be Dennis Wilson. Drowned and pumped with drugs and monochrome reminiscences. Thoughts, dreams, states of excitement in the head or in the corners of my room; can you click a part of your body to get where you want to go/don't want to go? Welcome to the archive where testing means understanding. Follow the needle and the damage it does. Take a megaphon and ask the newest micro-chip: of what nature are the increasing signals in the archive when the future lies in the restricted areas and the enjoyment and destruction of bodies are the two sides of the same dancefloor?"

"Munich, 1998. In the Nomia bar, where Japanese immigrants meet Bavarian traditions, the collaboration of Tokyo native artist/singer Cami Tokujiro and Austrian producer/musician Hans Platzgumer sets off. Platzgumer, who found international fame with his New York based rock band HP Zinker, and his various European electronic projects (Cube & Sphere, Aura Anthropica, Fingerfood) is fascinated by Tokujiro's guttural voice and classy appearance. Together with Viennese electronic pioneer Gerhard Potuznik they produce their first tracks. Combining a relentless sense for raw breakbeats and elaborate electronica with Tokujiro's poppy melodies and mysterious lyrics, a new mixture of East Asian-European pop music is created, using drum & bass elements as well as dark wave influences. Digital Austrian melancholy is inspired by Japanese clarity. Shinto confronts bizarre Japanese pop elements with raw european electronica. Cami Tokujiro and Hans Platzgumer invent themselves as a pop duo without compromises. Platzgumer digitalizes and rips Tokujiro's voice apart and puts it together in a new body. 'Shinto' means 'the divine path'."

2004 reissue of the debut DJ Hell album, originally issued in 1994. "DJ Hell (or simply Hell) has balanced Detroit minimalism and Chicago acid-house as well as more spacious German trance and hardcore. Beginning his mixing career while still a teenager, Hell moved through punk and new wave to electro, house and hip-hop by the mid-'80s. His DJing gradually led to the start of his production career, and one of his first singles, 'My Definition Of House Music' became a large club hit when reissued by Belgium's R&S Records in 1992. He moved to Berlin to work with Hardwax Records during 1993-94, and also spent time in New York before moving back to his native Munich. Besides releasing his album debut
Geteert und Gefedert
on Disko B in 1994, DJ Hell recorded a volume in the !K7 mix series 'X-Mix'. His second full-length
Munich Machine
also appeared on Disko B (via V2) in 1998." John Bush/AMG.

DB 069CD
Classic late-90s release, repressed. "In the Netherlands, in the beautiful town of Den Haag to be exact, some neophile named Ferenc (aka I-F) was fed up with the same olde techno movement. This in mind he added some fairly unorthodox dimensions to this gathering, forever changing its course. With primitive electronic equipment Ferenc transferred sounds from the 80s to the here and now. And by chance, he landed a hit. 'Space Invaders are Smoking Grass' is Ferenc's entry to Electro-anthem status. Like Funk never happened. This is family fodder for dance crazes, for lovers of 'alternative' music, for the whole scattered techno community, as well as for the homelistener who likes to smoke a cigar when hearing 'strange' sounds on the sofa. Ferenc's versatile approach to music can't be measured with just this one track. His first full length album on Disko B records proves the point.
Fucking Consumer
is pretty strong stuff. Electro pure and clear. No nice recycled retro package. It's out of it, sails in its own universe, because it doesn't rely on others. The overall mood is well-tempered, it seems to be playing along some sound history. Next thing you know,
Fucking Consumer
is exploding into bursts of noise - what a pleasure. Track by track I-F demands the attention of the listener anew."

1998 release. Here comes the first part of a remix series for the Munich-based pop-group Merricks who released their passionate disco reflections
The Sound of Munich
on our Sub Up-Records label last year. Abe Duque aka Kirlian and Gene Le Fosse transform the Merricks' 'Schwabing Girls' into a 4 to the floor techno stomper with a sincere taste of 'supersexy Munich'. Gigolo recording artist DJ Naughty reworks 'Ciao Ciao Disco' as energetic string inferno and the Organic-collective from New York changes the same song into a psychedelic funk track, featuring an electric guitar solo which the Merricks would never dare to play themselves. The Merricks remix series will be packed in a very special 5-color-sleeve.

Repressed. The follow-up to

album. I-f is the Dutch producer Ferenc, who has been associated with the labels Viewlexx and Murdercapital. "Thousands and thousands of years ago, in order to give energy and strength to those with a free, independent soul anywhere in this world, the people of PACK established an energy flow connecting the world of PACK to Earth. The connection was terminated by powerful, evil forces from this planet in order to maintain and expand their powers. If the connection with PACK can not be re-established soon, the battle will be lost. For years the people of Viewlexx watched the sky and monitored the galaxy looking for just one sign or clue. Not so long ago i-f experienced a special encounter after being electrocuted by one of his own machines after programming a spy satellite communication sequence. Regaining consciousness, he stood eye to eye with... The Man From PACK."

"Dakar & Grinser are two Munich blokes who make a sort of spine-tingling, chunky electro funk, spiced up with fuzzy darm-warping voice lines. In the two years since their last release on the poignant Disko B label, they've transcended their electro-noir roots to produce a record of incredible pop-power, a record which can be seen as the heavyweight German answer to last year's blower from Supercollider and can be even a benchmark in composition. Album features Pulsinger remix and cooperation with Miss Kittin."

Rough Guide to World Music
put it: 'Head-banging ländler-beat from the wildest of the alpine groups'. Binder bought himself a computer and sampler in 1997 and began to work on the altered states of sound, beat and lyrics with electro-acoustic means. The CD/2x12''

Photos are samples, electronic data of unclarified origin, fragmented language, which is put together in sentences like electronic telephone information, electro-percussions, organs, filter, effects, drums and vocals played by markus binder, mixed, sequenced in a certain tempo.

"The music of Silicon Soul is familiar to the international fans of the recording 'Who Needs Sleep Tonight' that was recently covered by Bob Sinclair and found its way on compilations of renowned labels like K7! and Compost and can be regarded as one of dance music's all time classics. Officially released in the United States in 1981, the song found its audience in such diverse locales as the new wave dance clubs of New York City and the underground gay discos in country music's capital Nashville, Tennessee. It was not until 1991 that the song became a European dance chart topper and dance club anthem when it was again released (this time coupled with a DJ Hell remix) as catalogue number 1 of the then new record label Disko B. At an imaginary artful point in time and space where Giorgio Moroder and Afrika Bambaataa meet Lena Lovich, Silicon Soul was conceived, Its founding members O.Zone and Jolly III continue today as leaders of a band of silicon-based music machines.
Pouti
is a hidden milestone from the New York of the '8Os which now finally can be discovered. The polyrhythmic electronic music embedding prolific song-writing and twisted vocals long before techno or electronica was established. This is a so-far-unreleased pearl coming from the vivid New York Underground scene of the early '80s."

"Abe has recorded under many names. Kirlian, Facil, Abe Duque, Super Secret Symphony, Monkey Spank, NYTK, and is the ring leader and originator of the Rancho Relaxo Allstars.
De Todas Partes
means from all parts and places. Refering to the universality of man and the plight of this one man to struggle to fit into a global picture. It is about world travels and world troubles. Four years in the making,
De Todas Partes
was recorded in many stops around the globe, including Vienna, Bogota, NYC, Munich, Morroco,and many more.
De Todas Partes
is about adventure and exploration. It is about the quest to feel home on planet earth. It is a coming of age story full of joy and sorrow. It is where east meets west and south becomes north. It is about that ageless question we all have beating inside our hearts. A question so deep that no one has even correctly formulated it yet.
De Todas Partes
is not about mankind or about modern society it is about life and its connected vanity. It is about the fact that even though there is nothing new under the sun every day feels like a new day. It is about nature. And how it does a great job at fooling you. It is about how if you don't let nature fool you don't feel complete. You get what you go for. This album is a milestone work for Abe Duque. Powerful music, extremely polished production, and a sprinkle of Kirlian magic make this album an instant classic."

"
Hooray For Everything
is Tobias Schmidt's 4th solo album. Since 1996 he has released several EPs for Telepathic, Sativae, Drought, Mosquito, Scandinavia and Tresor while playing his live pa globally. His previous albums include
Dark Of Heartness
,
Le Chimp Atomique
and
Destroy
. Schmidt's musical career started in Scotland 10 years ago, mixing with the likes of Neil Landstrumm and Dave Tarrida (and many others...) while they all worked to get their studios and clubs off the ground. Moving to Brighton in 1999 brought fresh influences, not least from the No Future crowd (Cristian Vogel, Jamie Liddel, Super_Collider and others) and provoked the birth of Schmidt's own label Nest as an outlet for broader scoped electronic music.
Hooray For Everything
sees a change of direction for Schmidt, moving into more 'musical' territory while keeping a 'techno'-intensity and concentration. The eleven tracks on this album, including 2 cover versions -- Throbbing Gristle's 'Hot On The Heels Of Love' and more surprisingly the Delfonics soul-classic 'Ready Or Not (Here I Come)'), mix a massive synthesizer attack with driving robo-funk drums to create a broody and dark electronic soul music with futuristic city-at-night-feel, both listenable to at home and playable in the clubs."

She has contributed tracks to a number of Austrian and European experimental music compilations, including the infamous Rancho Relaxo Allstars. Although she's never studied music formally, Brokesch's compositions are remarkable for their emphasis on acoustic instrumental sources such as guitars and percussion, which she then fuses with electronically generated soundscapes and minimal machine rhythms. Her debut full-length

His project The Parallax Cooperation (with Intergalactic Gary) is facing the new fashionable electro hype and thus decided to join forces with Disko B worldwide to free electro from the Guccis and Pradas and give it back its original sleaze, dirt, politics and attitude away from the catwalks. After some classic 12''es in the mid 90s and the groundbreaking albums
Fucking Consumer
(including the allover smash-hit 'Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass' which was recently quoted as a most important musical influence from Fischerspooner) and
the man from p.a.c.k.
, The Parallax Corporation extends the 'Fucking Consumer'-topic and tell a story of manipulation, conspiracy and anti-social tendencies, inspired by the 70ies movie
The Parallax View
. Musically The Parallax Corporation add a grain of Italo-Disco and Funk to their refined Electro-formula. The album features vocals from Nancy Fortune and Mr. Melvin White as well as a genuine Italo remix from Milano by Fred Ventura.
Coca Disco
was previously released as limited edition CD-album on I-F'S label Viewlexx. The Disko B CD-edition contains one new and exclusive track called 'electrocash'."

"Electronicat's mixture of laptop comfort and sweating hardware brought him to a point where his definition of electronic music coincides with a punk attitude and sometimes makes us feel like George Michael is running around yelling that Depeche Mode ripped off all his ideas. In between (almost...) biker rock anthems and glittering electronic ballads, you find the intensity which marked his efforts on his highly acclaimed Depeche Mode Remix ('Dead Of Night' released on Mute Records, 2002). Working with Gerhard Potuznik (G.D.Luxxe, also co-producer of Chicks On Speed) canalized Electronicat's almost schizophrenic devotion to noisy and pushing sounds. Accompanied at the microphone by Catriona Shaw (Queen Of Japan) the record develops intimate density and tipsy no-limit attitude resulting in a new brand of electronically expressed music which is best described as 'electric-glam-rock n roll'."

"Mysterymen is a new signing on Disko B. The Debutants steam from Newcastle, UK. The two youngsters arranged a compact diversity of Gary-Numan-touched slo-mo techno with a touch of Neo-90ies & Drone Pop. The 4-track 12" blooms around almost whistling bass-lines, whispering snares and is reminding of what once was called Shoegazing (why did no one realize in Techno before?) in stimulating new settings. If Drone and Techno didn`t coincident in electronic music ago it will do now. `Clapman` is pure teenage lust and best described as early Seefeel coming on land and wondering why they can breathe!

Adam the already knighted man of the stage and Korinna the astonishing new kid on the block. The New York Times describing Neulander as a hot tip for 2003:
'Neu taking on The Human League in battle' 'Neulander are melodic, unusually cool and slightly aloof'.
Neulander write strong and defined songs whilst using deconstructed electronic arrangements. The music and the voice mesh together creating a timeless and almost ancient quality. The lyrics seem to suggest Russian poetry colliding with an abstract and personal response to the confusion of 21century media culture."

First Take Then Shake
is the 11th studio album of F.S.K. In the more than 20 years of their existence, F.S.K. (still Thomas Meinecke, Michaela Melián, Justin Hoffmann, Wilfried Petzi and Carl Oesterhelt) have travelled an uncomparable musical journey from new wave to country and since their 1996 Disko B 12''
4 Instrumentals
and the two albums
Tel Aviv
(1998) and
X
(2000) on Sub Up Records dig deeper and deeper into band-oriented electronic music and its repetitive sound-structures between post-rock and post-electronica. The rough mixes of these songs were sent to the Detroit-based Afro-American techno/house legend Anthony 'Shake' Shakir. F.S.K goes Afro-Germanic."

"Mysterymen were born in 2001 out of the industrial North East of England, and set up their studio on the banks of the river Tyne. Soon being hailed as the new techno-operafuturists, they are well versed in producing accomplished and soulful electro. Mysterymen have transcended from a twisted personal setting. Comprising the industrial landscape but giving way to the romance lying there in-between, it leaves pretty much of the debut out of the field of comparable producers. To no surprise the tracks inhale the congeniality of analogue synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders, all synchronised by a trusty Atari computer."

"Electronicat is back again with a new album,
Voodoo Man
, a spontaneous combustion of electro and rock-n-roll, which at parts plays almost like a deranged horror movie soundtrack. Opening with the previous single, 'Dans les Bois,' the lyrics tell a tale of being lost in the jungle where leopard-skin clad figures taunt and tease whilst demonic leaves lead you astray. From this we are escorted through a maniacal wonder world of dark forces, satanic dragsters, and delirious rhythms, ('Wap Doowap', 'Savage Cat', 'The Smell Of Danger'), only to be caught out by a few more tender love songs ('Scratch You Baby Bird,' though this too is quite deviant and 'In My Dreams' a Lynchian vocoder hymn)."
