Label:	PICKADOLL MUSIC (SWEDEN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	PICK 001CD

This is the second full-length release from Sweden's No. 1 country boy and techno machine, John Dahlbäck. This prolific producer and label owner has proven that it is possible to release three records a week, without totally damaging his profile. At The Gun Show shows that the main focus of Dahlbäck's music is the dancefloor and the titles on this LP are no exception. Fourteen club monsters of fresh and exciting electro with a strong house and techno influence, also featuring vocals by Swedish chanteuse, Yota on the first track. The essence that is keeping his style so fresh definitely is his unique ability to combine various layers of melodies and bass lines and arrange them into perfect and innovative dance tune blue prints. At The Gun Show perfectly sums up all of his 12"s for Pickadoll -- the melodic and slightly dark "synthie" touch, the slamming drums and the pumping and harsh basses. This will wreak havoc in international clubsylvania!

Title:	Pickadoll's
Label:	PICKADOLL MUSIC (SWEDEN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	PICK 002CD

This is Pickadoll's first CD compilation, featuring some of its best vinyl tracks on CD for the first time, mixed by the man and label-owner himself, John Dahlbäck. Dahlbäck is a phenomenon in today's electronic dance music scene -- an unstoppable maniac with more output than anybody else. And he simply doesn't care. Pickadoll is his label for super-functional and insane electro house productions and the 14 tracks on this mix give a detailed view of the label's artists. Pickadoll's includes the shiny electro-house of Sébastien Léger, the squelchy synth of Zoo Brazil, Mark & John's heavy-stomper, Özgür Can's groovy shapes and most dominantly -- guess who? John Dahlbäck -- who manages to capture the vibe and sound of the label very well from grooving house productions to pure and disharmonic rave sickness. It's the perfect package to bring this raw energy club sound into the homes of all the non-vinyl techno heads.

Title:	Winners & Fools
Label:	PICKADOLL MUSIC (SWEDEN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	PICK 003CD

This is the third full-length release from John Dahlbäck. Starting at the tender age of 16, this prolific producer and label owner has placed himself into international electronic music's top league. With more releases out than Bud Spencer had fist fights or Hugh Hefner had bunnies, John has grown into a mature musician over the years. Winners & Fools is definitely his most sophisticated work to date and a step forward. After mainly producing dance tracks in the last years, John is now putting all his effort into detailed and deep musical work. Winners & Fools is a well-balanced journey through multiple electronic music worlds -- insane club weapons stand proudly next to beautiful vocal tunes and big room anthems in the vain of Alan Braxe or Daft Punk -- and it is certain to draw a whole new bunch of listeners to his music. Other Swedish producers like Eric Prydz, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosse may have paved the way to pop, but John Dahlbäck has entered a totally new building filled with glistening synths, sharp, snappy beats, and robots in skinny ties.

Artist:	STYLE OF EYE
Title:	Duck, Cover And Hold
Label:	PICKADOLL MUSIC (SWEDEN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	PICK 004CD

This is the first full-length release by Linus Eklöw aka Style Of Eye, who has been described as the new sultan of Scando techno. He is no stranger to today's underground dance scene: he started out working in the studio in the late '90s and began to develop his unique style of music with releases and remixes on such prolific labels as Classic, Tiny Sticks, and Rabid Records -- to name just a few -- and most recently on Dirtybird and John Dahlbäck's Pickadoll label, where he's now putting out his debut, aptly named Duck, Cover And Hold. His understanding of electronic music goes far beyond stereotypical thinking, as you can tell from going through the list of different labels he has released on. And this is the exact vibe that makes this record what it is: a very personal, outstanding and diverse interpretation of contemporary techno and house music. Linus melts down electric bleeps, hysterical synthesizers, raw percussion, minimalism, big-mouthed basses and soulful chords in order to create this club-destroying monster album. Crystal clear trance moments alternate with deep house grooves and pumped-up peak-time parts, while always keeping an ironic distance with silly melodies and sounds. Linus' style is also marked by a high level of professionalism -- just take the EQing of his sounds, the super-accurate use of SFX in his tracks or the perfectly-timed and ultra-tight arrangements as examples, and you will know how much dedication and work he puts into his art. This shit is meticulous, highly advanced, and absolutely chock-full of addictive noises you can't resist dancing to. Style Of Eye is one to watch, as he is about to blow up in a very major way. Including guest vocals by Emma Henley and Stephen Simmonds.

Title:	I Want Your Mind
Label:	PICKADOLL MUSIC (SWEDEN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PICK 014EP

"Cocoon artists and Spanish residents are new on the Pickadoll roster. Their first EP for JD answers all questions... body jackin' electro flavors combined with some truly hypnotizing neo-trance elements all plugged together with hot minimal house sexiness in the rhythms. 'I Want Your Mind' is nothing else but a stunning floor killer that's sure to become a firm part of many DJ's sets (Sven Väth, James Holden, Tobi Neumann or Karotte e.g.). 'Something Else' really lives up to its name. Obscure synthy action and mind blowing rhythmic figures turn into a monster: TNT for the a.m. experts! 'Banksy' on B2 displays Pig & Dan's ability to create spaced-out tunes with spooky FX that are still causing monster trouble in clubs."

Title:	At the Gun Show Part 1
Label:	PICKADOLL MUSIC (SWEDEN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PICK 015EP

"Sweden's No. 1 country boy and techno machine John Dahlbäck has proven that it is possible to release three records a week, without totally damaging his profile -- as many people predicted! The key word here is quality. Over the last 5 years John has put out more records than anyone else on the planet including BB King and Phil Collins. He truly is a tremendously talented young fellow and he simply doesn't give a f### anyways. This is the first 12" taken from the album, containing 4 serious dance floor bazookas. 'Don't Speak' is a modern trance anthem with beautiful vocals, modulating bass action and funky fresh triplet melody feature 'Express' reminds of his collaboration works with his cousin Jesper as Hugg & Pepp. Carving the edge of total 'kitsch,' while keeping it real like no one else."

Title:	The Great Fashionista Swindle
Label:	PICKADOLL MUSIC (SWEDEN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PICK 018EP

Dada Life are Stefan Engblom (aka Phatzoo, Phasio) and Olle Corneér (aka Dibaba). "The Great Fashionista Swindle" is super hysteric dancefloor protoplasma, grinding the edge of old school rave enthusiasm and up-to-date electro affairs into peaktime extravaganza. Laidback Luke and Serge Santiágo deliver two tremendously strong remixes. Luke delivers a stripped-down classic techno-house rework, while Serge, known for founding the Radio Slave project alongside Matt Edwards, produces a disco-soaked, cosmic arppegiator house flagship! Huge.

Artist:	CAN, OZGUR
Title:	84 Shots
Label:	PICKADOLL MUSIC (SWEDEN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PICK 019EP

A big name in 2006's Swedish techno-land is definitely Özgür Can. Complex rhythms with spheric overtones is what his definition of techno is all about. "84 Shots" works with a groovy percussion lick and epic bassline atmo -- DJs should hand out helmets when they put this on! On the flip, the new German techno version of Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill: Oliver Koletzki & Florian Meindl, known from releases on Cocoon, Balkon and Stil Vor Talent, turn everything into their trademark sound. Fascinating.

Artist:	DAHLBÄCK, JOHN

Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PICK 020EP

For the 20th release on his own label Pickadoll, John Dahlbäck picked two huge dancefloor monsters. "Blink" starts off as a classic techno tune with unique acid bass, straightforward drums and crazy vocal workouts, developing into a strong builder with massive efx action and killer breaks. "Sting" slightly reminds of a very famous track from Mr. Benny Benassi: hysteric synths, a pumping rhythm section and a bassline made of steel. Any questions?

Catalog #:	PICK 022EP

The Spanish-based production kings and label-owners Pig & Dan return to Pickadoll with some truly Balearic & beautiful techno tunes. The track "88" is a hypnotic journey based upon slightly modulating old-school chords. The B-side starts with a dark teKKno monster called "Blobz": arpeggios, stripped-down drumming, reverbs make up an unbelievably raw ecstasy music which then develops into a neo-trance extravaganza with some highly impressive breakdowns! "Robots" consists of video game sounds, sexy beats and some almost psychedelic guitar-like licks... after-hours madness guaranteed!

John Dahlbäck's Years Behind is a rather synthetic and atmospheric piece of pop dancefloor extravaganza, perfectly constructed for early morning pleasure on Balearic islands -- a morphing arpeggio, old school flavored synthies and a truly hypnotic arrangement. The flipside works with the same ingredients but on a darker ground and with a bigger bass-drum for peak-time action. Neo-electro Balearic trance with a dose of electric soul. Big release!

John Dahlbäck takes it to the typical Pickadoll grounds by adding sawtooth basses and some filter activity with amazing results. "Hysster" is another technical adventure -- staccato bleeps and synthy noises on a stripped-down rhythm move into a classy rave hookline that takes the roof off.
