Title:	Gemixt...
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 001CD

Compilation of tracks from this relatively new German label, based out of Köln., taken from previous viny-only 12" releases. Features tracks from Marcel Janovsky, Novatek, Rafael Gómez, René Breitbarth, KlangGut & Nothingface. In the light of the Harvest's demise the German minimal/tech-house scene is flourishing more than ever due to an onslaught of labels like Perlon, Playhouse, Klang Electronik, Sender, etc., and Treibstoff is one more key piece to the puzzle. Described as "a stunning showcase of this Cologne tech-house label. Pure harmonic minimal pleasure," this represents the post-Modernist agenda in the most logically precise fashion.

Title:	Quality Exertion
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 003CD

"What most people associate with Dallas, is probably the TV series with the famous J.R. and his intricate gang, which was one of the first US soap operas that invaded Europe in mid-eighties. But Dallas, is also a source of good musicians and one of them is Maetrik, aka Eric Estornel, who released the Connect EP in 2000. His album for Treibstoff charms the listener with smooth, fresh sounds and 'alive' effects, which give the music a breathing feeling. The tracks are on the edge of pop-driving music with a 'Detroit feeling' and a safe 'soul' taste, that keep them floating without leaving them undefined. Between hyperactive synthesizer sounds, sunrise topics and a touch of industrial techno, Maetrik shows his flexibility and delivers a debut album that fits perfectly with today´s demand for quality music."

More than 10 vinyl releases and artist albums followed, so it was time to release the 2nd package thus expressing our concern again for those without turntables. Label owner and DJ Marcel Janovksy compiles your favorites for a unique showcase in a tight mix. You will find the good old Treibstoff people as well as promising new acts. There's Cologne-funk, free-floating dub-tech, minimal house and tech-house flavors...Treibstoff style!"

Title:	Solar
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 005CD

"Germany's secret king of house Rene Breitbarth finally delivers his debut album on Treibstoff. Solar is not just a vinyl or CD compilation of tracks, but an exhibition of the 'Breitbarth sound' in full effect. From euphoric aural home-listening pearls to dry-rockin' master-builders for the dance floor, Rene defines the new coordinates for a modern dance electronic and groovy everyday life. Rene doesn't need to 'cross over' or copy other styles. He has the courage to present his own vision of beauty and motion, in his effort to please (and release) the listener with beautifully-crafted aural landscapes."

Artist:	NOON(AT
Title:	Under The Moon/Sun
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 006CD

"Besides Canada, Russia is still one of the best international countries for reduced Dub-tech. From Moscow comes also Noon(at, who made himself attentive with releases on labels like Salo, Konvex Konkav and Trapez. His first album consolidates itself to a high-functional microfunk, it´s summer ease makes it extraordinary pleasantly. 'Ocean Body' abstracts thereby maritime dub in ultramodern kind, very cleared up and with pleasing few plate surfaces. 'Under The Moon' has continuous organ surface while 'Newsletter' deals with melancholic string-trance and inserts vocal elements. More uncomfortable becomes the wobbly clockwork mover 'One Night With the Machine' which sprays late laminar harmony. A locking approximation to the Cologne shuffle-school brings the CD bonus track 'Fish & Chips' and completes the stylistic pallet of an alternate but homogenous album."

Artist:	BREITBARTH, RENE
Title:	With A Little Luck
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 007CD

"'Into real luck you don't waddle - you gallope!' (Tina Teubner). That's right, and René Breitbarth knows that too. In 1997, the 28 year old Cologne guy founded the Treibstoff-label together with Marcel Janovsky and is thereby one of the most reliable soundproducers. With his eight EP-publications and the last year album debut Solar René advanced the reconciliation of modern cut deephouse with the reduced aesthetics of the dub. And nevertheless he puts one on top 'With a Little Luck'. Pumping sexy, close, funky, always present in the hip and always with a very pleasant summer placidity. The denomination of the tracks understands itself as gentle bow To mister Paul Mccartney, 'because I appreciate him a lot as a musician. Of course my tracks do not have much to do with his music, except perhaps the warm, harmonious parts'. And that we don´t misunderstand each other there: It's definitely not about reference lists. In addition Breitbarth's definition of depth is way too self-confident, both in emotional and perspective dimension. It leads you to the inside, where the warm pulse impact of the bass synchronizes your heart. And it will make not only you a little luckier."

Artist:	MAETRIK
Title:	Casi Profundo
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 008CD

"And now, we proudly present Maetrik, probably the only master across all frequencies existing in our universe. Maetrik, actually the virtuoso of dodgy pumping tunes and a good old friend of the constantly expanding label Treibstoff, comes along in broadband LP format thus proving his eternal qualities. Highly recommended basslines spiced up with dinky sawtooth ornamentics are caressing melancholically abraded vocoder sounds that seem to come straight outta the andromeda fog. Like listenable Autechre tunes: abstract, bouncing, but at the same time deeply rooted in the current dance-floor world; earthily pushing and at the same time wallowing in sound planes. Basically, Maetrik is a real miracle and simply overthrows all the parameters of this narrow-minded century. Inherent in every single corner is a new gimmick, another surprise for the sacral understanding of rave. And underneath the elegantly hammering surface structures, the space is crawling with bizarre creatures avoiding any closer observation. Well, you'll never know where a journey into outta space will end."

Title:	10 Years of Treibstoff: The Compilation
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 009CD

"For ten years now, Treibstoff provides the key tracks for the international prime-time. Acclaimed masterbuilders and sought-after favorites gather in the 72 releases making up the rich back catalog, which should be reason enough to both recall the past and define the future. Heroes of the mighty bass drum such as Robert Babicz aka Rob Acid or Gabriel Ananda pose with sleeky rumbling evergreens, long-term family members like Falko Brocksieper or Rene Breitbarth present fresh sounds and also the offspring reaches for the seats in the first row: Spain's Alecs Marta delights with a dark, sparkling techno stomper whereas U.S. newcomers Animaltek roll high with sweeping dramaturgy. This and a lot more awaits you in a package bursting with classics and novelties. So what are you waiting for? CD1 - new/exclusive tracks mixed by Marcel Janovsky. CD2 - best of selection by Marcel Janovsky & René Breibarth."

Artist:	SARAH GOLDFARB & JHK
Title:	Heartbeat City
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TREIB 010CD

This is the debut full-length release by France's Jean-Vincent Luccini aka Sarah Goldfarb, in partnership with his friend Jean-Christophe Hallary (JHK). Named after that old lady on speed from the movie Requiem For A Dream, the producer from Marseille loves puns, genre-defying credentials, and synthetic sounds with lots of thrust. Since 2003, Jean-Vincent has been producing quality techno as Sarah Goldfarb, endowing a long-ranging array of labels old and young with his hypnotic beat patterns. Heartbeat City was named after the seminal album by '80s new wave band The Cars (and reputedly, the song titles on Goldfarb's Heartbeat City are all taken from actual lyrics of actual Cars songs), and it isn't just the next logical step in a well-funded career, it's the result of a labor of love and the need to evolve musically. He invited a good friend and neighbor to his studio to help him with the album, the highly-talented but virtually unknown Jean-Christophe Hallary, and it took them both over half a year of intense bricolage. The final product, as detailed as it is accessible, is a multi-layered and danceable beast of an album, offering perfect dramaturgy and pin-pointed kicks galore. Hypnotic repetition, industrial quirkiness, and techno exoticism exquisitely shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

Artist:	BROCKSIEPER, FALKO
Title:	Shortcake Strategy
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 011CD

Berlin-based Sub Static co-owner Falko Brocksieper presents an album for Treibstoff. Generally, an album serves one of two functions. The first being a club-centric compilation that feels a lot like listening to six EPs one after another, resulting only in the reassurance that yes, this artist can still satisfy a dancefloor. The second works as a genuine exposé of an artist's creativity, music knowledge, and intelligence, but most of all reminds us that there is a human behind the music. Shortcake Strategy is Falko Brocksieper's third full-length and it exemplifies the ladder. Though the introduction might feel like a familiar place in between synthesizers and kick drums, it's merely a beginning; not at an indication of what is to follow. Within seconds of hearing "Avoid," it doesn't take long to acknowledge this is something truly different. Heavy Day (SUS 072CD/LP), Brocksieper's last album was released in 2008 on his own Sub-Static imprint. It was, like all of the releases before, high quality tech-house. It contained moments of song-like beauty, but nonetheless remained connected to a minimalistic approach. Five years later, Falko's growth is clear. On Shortcake Strategy, fairytale-like melodies are backed with thought-provoking harmonies that pave the way for an explicitly visual experience. We have been introduced to a new face of the Berlin-based producer. Shortcake is a simple recipe. It doesn't take a lot of planning or much thought or attention when preparing it, and in the end, it will be light, fluffy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying.

Artist:	ANANDA, GABRIEL
Title:	Süssholz Remixes
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 052EP

"Honor to whom honor is due: Gabriel Ananda's 'Suesshol,' after heavy rotation, has been reshaped and by no one else than Falko Brocksieper and Robert Babicz aka Rob Acid. So, two wishes have come true all at once. While legendary Babicz creates a damned great, stomping smasher out of the already dancefloor-filling original version that will make every raver's heart completely crazy, Sub Statics's Falco Brocksieper combines the sound patterns with loads of esprit and the result is an irresistible quantized klonk'n'rappel burner, and its maximum rhythm structure will lure even the hottest party people out of every corner. Well the good old spirit is back and Treibstoff has got it under contract."

Artist:	MAETRIK
Title:	Tiny Destructor
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 058EP

"Another release from Maetrik's latest album Casi Profundo. We never thought this track would get so much positive reaction by friends and record-dealers... but determining was at least Maetrik's strict wish, that made us release this title on vinyl as it was only available with the CD album until today. 'Tiny Destructor' is surely an anthem in waiting, one that cannot fail to move you, then take you apart. Treibstoff label-boss Marcel Janovsky delivers his remix as a dance version, that has the typical Janovsky-groove, very close to the original."

Artist:	ANANDA, GABRIEL
Title:	Ananda's Bassmaschinchen Part 1
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 059EP

"The Cologne tradition-label Treibstoff brings the new project from Gabriel Ananda. With 'Bassmaschinchen' he launches a series, on which he will exclusively focus only rhythm and bass. He thinks about almost lost ways to seduce the audience, by leaving big synth-hooks and fantastic elation. This one is all about pure deepness, ultra deep bass and hypnotic grooves, Gabriel brings to the top with his freshly bought 909."

Artist:	SARAH GOLDFARB
Title:	La Demission Du Coach
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 060EP

"The enormous increase in performance at Treibstoff's racing stable can hardly be ignored anymore, especially when one of the hottest acts is at the start showing off his muscles: here comes Sarah Goldfarb and presents the hungry party crowd two tracks that come along like a sensational bang, with a bass drum like a fitness club and hypnotizing sequences like an exciting trip through a tunnel towards the light. Neo-choral sound planes are bursting over archaically pushing, almost Robert Hoodish beat patterns, making the audience move in a damn tight network of pure energy and euphoria. All stops of techno have been pulled out: sophisticated mechanics meet thumping, thundering machines from the industrial revolution and the sweat is shining on the faces of the party community jumping its banks. You will be swept along, and when I am clicking my fingers, you'll wake up and feel great."

Artist:	ITALOBOYZ
Title:	The Vietnamese EP
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 061EP

"Asian office workers on the verge of a nervous breakdown are hacking the keyboard buttons while the fax noise level continues rising and hits the narrow cells of the office space. What an introduction, what a beat that is suddenly twirling into the ears, pushing, driving, until the PC is kicked out of the window. Italoboyz, the hot newcomers, already known for their stunning release on Einmalein's label, now present kicking, short-winded machine funk on Treibstoff. This is no wannabe percussive sound, but tight beats, hot-blooded bleeps, smooth bass, dark echoes and great stepping beats from deep down where the funky spirits are dwelling. We'll call it SMMinimal, because it's so great that up to now, no one knows what to call it. So, here we go."

Artist:	ANANDA & CIO D'OR, GABRIEL
Title:	Lauschgoldengel
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 062EP

"The two full-time artists Gabriel Ananda and Cio D'or met at night and created this track full of love, happiness and beautiful melody. A one-sided 12" showing the two artists in porcelain on the front-cover and poem as well as funny little man, graffiti and dedications on the flipside. Engraved by the hands of the artists. When flying objects spray in gold and jumping crackers exploding to light the asphalt, comes a snowstar across your eye, whispering 'beautiful you are!'"

Artist:	AGARIC
Title:	Momentum EP
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 063EP

"The king of hopping and mastermind of the nicely colored 10" releases on We Are label is Agaric who is now honoring Treibstoff with his tickling printer cartridge funk live from the Playroom. Curiously bustling about and groovily bubbling like teddy bears on magic mushrooms, the tracks are making their way through the local dancefloor scene. The sound is always straight to the point, yet never missing this certain childlike amazement in a psychedelically liberated state of mind. The chirpy chords and fizzling hi-hats, the delicious rolling bass, the fresh and funky beats that feel like having a spruce needles foot bath and which are filleted, crumbed and gently roasted and then delicately seasoned to taste and nicely garnished, make Agaric a most promising, unusual and unique young artist. Altogether, this is another proof that techno music is a further development of jazz: not this Dixie jazz from the outmoded teacher's lounge, but a fat, excessive jazz straight from the rough streets of lost continents."

Artist:	BODINE, TODD
Title:	Internal Funk EP
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 064EP

"The vivisection of contemporary dance music has almost come to an end. The whiff of minimal music makes everybody wave aside at the moment when suddenly, it is him coming up with this precious, straight and highly euphoric track. We are talking about Todd Bodine, the good old hand at crackling tunes. He has pimped his sound and the result is a sporty two-door ride: equipped with a slim waistline and the strong and well-trained calves of a sprinter, his naughty, digital sounds are surfing on top of the analog wave, spiced a most elegant fine-tuning, yet incredibly lusty. With this new Treibstoff 12" release, the well-disposed audience will get wonderfully rasterised rumbling sounds that congenially continue with the Cologne-based label's fresh tradition: as minimal as possible and as cheeky as necessary. Cologne is not a spa, you know, so let's get a party going on."

Title:	Want 2 Shake With You
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 065EP

"Yapacc and Franklin Da Costa -- those guys are thick as thieves. And in their studio, they have produced the hottest club tunes of the last few months. This record is a real smasher: lusciously bouncing with weirdo vocals, strong, driving bass lines and wonderfully mindjacking chords you will certainly whistle along to in the morning. It's an asset to any after hour session, an earthquake for any club and it keeps up with any other club hit around. The times of balearic arrogance and well-known masters are over. It's time to dance now. So, here comes a state-of-the-art record that will last forever. A unique, long-lasting highlight in your so far fair to middling DJ set. And by all means a post-Vaeth playlist record you will find on eBay in approx. 10 years. A classic hit and more proof that Treibstoff is a reliable label for first-class techno music. The Cologne-Frankfurt axis is still alive!"

Artist:	BREITBARTH, RENE
Title:	Heavy Metal
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 066EP

"As soon as the needle is placed on the rotating, golden disk, an uber-stomping engine block welcomes the addicted audience. Usually, you wouldn't call René Breitbarth a speedster, however this time, he turns out to be a real friend of pushing tunes and we have to admit: it suits him extremely well. Dressed in a cowl and wearing a long hair wig, the first thing René does is throwing his TV out of the window, followed by all the prejudices about him being a deep house icon. His current definition of dance music is an acidic bubbling, spiced with the beloved bleeps and clonks as well as an ongoing roaring in the frequency spectrum. The beat is hopping and marching straight in line with the excitedly thumping raver's heart. This is a tight dance-floor massacre monsieur Breitbarth has come up with and there is no better place for this record to be released than on Treibstoff, the label with a constantly rising euphoric curve. Well, who else takes care about parties?"

Artist:	ANANDA, GABRIEL
Title:	Bassmaschinchen Pt. 2
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 067EP

"Gabriel Ananda is probably one of the last real heroes of Techno music. No one else manages to ingeniously mix the precision of state-of-the art production standards with the purest and most classic dance-floor tunes. And the result: hottest and most rocking sounds. Now he comes up with part two of his 'Bassmaschinchen' (little bass machines) on Treibstoff. And it is far from using up leftovers. Part two even exceeds the well-known, straight and pushing beat'n bass patterns thanks to its wonderful, Detroitishly shimmering rave arpeggio. And in the middle of the psycho-social warfare of today's dance-floors, it won't miss the target. Gabriel Ananda's faders are always on the fast track. Moreover, he simply doesn't care about minimal music's dos and don'ts. But he doesn't miss the rush with all its rave signals that make the world a better party place."

Artist:	SWAT SQUAD & ALECS MARTA
Title:	Speaking In Silver
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 068EP

"Here are Swat Squad & Alecs Marta with smooth science fiction on Treibstoff. This time however, our Spanish experts in minimal glam sounds have added an extra layer of polish. Aerodynamically sanded and lusciously spinning, these two tracks drift through the ether leaving crackling vapor trails in the club's sky. A complex effects structure is embedded in finest beats and the constantly punching bassline will keep your adrenaline level high. This is first-class, classic laid-back as well as highly energetic techno music. Well, it's Treibstoff, you know."

Artist:	JACK ROCK
Title:	Polyfemos
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 071EP

"Many ways lead to hypnotic bliss: Jack Rock from Wir pays Treibstoff a visit and endows the straight funking mothership with unusually melancholic undertones. 'Polyfemos' is a herald of huge emotional wingspread, already entering the minimal hall of fame with the first fluffily twitched swabs of spine-tingling beauty. But it doesn't stay there: rather constructing some well ventilated spatiality through tightly bolted percussions than suffocating in imploding hokum, this track goes its own way aiming directly at the dancefloor. Masters of subtle bombast Minilogue rearrange the original, frapping the sounds to an unerringly stomping bass while splashing out both some buoyant groove and solid footwork. This remix shows more than meets the eye and prepares for some wild horseback riding. There's nothing better than keeping the output fresh by diversifying the message, innit?"

Artist:	SARAH GOLDFARB
Title:	Crashed By EP
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 072EP

"You know, it's a jungle out there...and Sarah Goldfarb obviously agrees with that. Treibstoff's regular artist once again pulled out his precision tool and has created a most delicate sound structure around stumbling beats. And it seems as if his only aim is to wind you around his little finger. Actually, no big deal for Sarah Goldfarb: both tracks are telling a convincing story thanks to the seducingly sequenced vocal bits, the snappy, percussive rumbling underneath and the pushing, hypnotic synth peaks above. And even if the structure may sound delicate, it is throughout tearproof. Its high-tech outfit is more glamorous than masking; it's perfect for the urban survival battle and a safe shelter for any dancefloor. So, should you find yourself again lost in the club until your best side has melted away in the early morning sun, and should the walls start talking to you, then you'd better remember this: it's ok, it's fine... as long as you don't answer."

Catalog #:	TREIB 073EP

"Shay Raban (DJ Earthian), a virtuoso and versatile DJ and sound technician from Israel and the internationally active Russian producer Oleg Slepak came to know each other at a desert rave in Colorado in 2002. Based in New York, their mutual project Animaltek is keeping every promise of a highest-level energy transformation. Caused by Animaltek's recombination of the strongest signals, syncopes and signa- tures from both prime techno and electro genres, the club evolution creates a new, breathtaking diversity of grooving species. Noise fragments, sounds, loops, vocal commands and subterraneously vibrating bass lines correlate systematically to intertwine accurately, forming vital organisms that pulsate in an elastic, flittering and funky manner. Each of these precisely and dynamically placed rhythm elements represents a unique, psycho-magnetic energy dispenser which is determined to dock with motors, sensors and actuators of humans and robots. Thus, the crowd's vital body parts and sense organs are stimulated individually by driving mechanisms of multifarious functionality. Marching, twitching and flowing merge by interfering with each other -- in a system dominated by the coordinates Liaisons Dangereuses (1981) and intergalactic radio communication (2010)."

"Beside the double CD compilation, all exclusive tracks will be released on three single 12"s. This third and last part of the vinyl series brings us Sub Static's Falko Brocksieper who probably delivers his best track to date. Glorious playful groovy and a touch of trance! Sarah Goldfarb, our man from Marseille with excellent rhythms and ideas. And finally the master Robert Babicz from Cologne with his loving 'Night in Melbourne.' A very authentic and transparent opener for DJ sets. Even great use to close down. This and a lot of more awaits you in a package bursting classic and novelties."

Catalog #:	TREIB 077EP

"Since 1988, Jens Zimmermann successfully cultivated quite some dance terrains. 'Sequenz 32' seems to have emanated from Zimmermann's private Area 51, in which Rhythm & Sound pimp up the 1975 era Tangerine Dream in terms of design values. You can hear that a man is at work who knows his stuff darn well and is safe in what he is doing. The production is brilliant, the selection of sounds superb, set-ups are constructed with caution, superimpositions are finely layered, propagations and ripenings are get going in a well-considered manner. The vibes flip diverse switches after a certain while. And these are not customary toggle switches, but in fact freely manoeuverable joysticks, for a remote-controlled crowd. Some enormous consequences of these sound aspects reveal over almighty loudspeakers. Ricardo Villalobos in Groove magazine, Berlin, Sept/Oct 2007: '(In Room One of the 'Fabric') you can play a JZ track solely consisting of an incredibly recorded bass drum and a single tone, and the crowd is wacking out.' Test runs certify; 'Hey Freak' this desirable quality. On the horizon of a bright musical future, Z-Man's groove evolution is flourishing."

Catalog #:	TREIB 078EP

"Black Ice and Glamorous Terror are the trademark colors used by Treibstoff exclusive Maetrik on this one. The Cuban-born and raised Texan knows a thing or two about the abyss and its inconsistencies, so it's no wonder seeing him pushing the envelope right between the extremes of known truth and everyday routine. His serial killer groove presents cyborgs as tracks, featuring beats like axes, invents the industrial house subgenre in the blink of an eye, lets the mainframe breathing in fumes and plays suicide pong in gamers hell. Still his tracks stay sexy in a manic way and aim directly at your solar plexus, introducing themselves as some kind of revolutionary ballad for OS-tired robots with vocals by futurist junkies stuck on obscure substances from the rain forest. You can be assured that this guy produces his music with an anarchist stocking mask on his face, having implanted three or more artificial limbs for optimized sound control and sleeping with several tomes of William Gibson's best stories under his pillow. It's at least what we think over at Treibstoff headquarters. Maybe Pacman feels this way on a monday morning, disrupted and hopeful at the same time, and proclaiming that the revolution doesn't give a fuck about interviews cos it's busy eating up its own breed."

Title:	Ramper + Patrick Zigon Remix
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"

Catalog #:	TREIB 079EP

"The Barcelona-Cologne-Express rides again: Alecs Marta is in charge this time, the bustling Catalan with the stinging glance. As one half of the Swat Squad he may prefer to wander about in the suburbs of ornamentation but on his own he always enters competition through the front door. He isn't the loitering kind of guy anyway, which shows quite clearly in 'Ramper': this track drives on rails, a well lubricated hybrid confronting light-hearted and bouncy friendliness with demanding clarity. It's casual and focused at the same time, just as we come to expect from the Catalans as the 'Spanish Germans.' Quite a coincidence then that the remix descends from the South of Germany, bearing the trademark sounds of its producer Patrick Zigon. The guy that made good tracks into great ones at Cocoon or Kling Klong condenses the airier original to some sort of nightly tour de force, procuring tightly shaved beats and one hell of a massive bassline blanking the sky like a solar eclipse. I do not wear my sunglasses at night anymore and here's the reason why."

Title:	Ferocia Anima EP
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 080EP

"Between their triple ignition on Treibstoff and WIR and the preheating process that announces their album release soon on Treibstoff, Shay Raban and Oleg Slepak just add some more fuel to the fire of expectation. As the savagely entitled work accurately promises, the dancing soul is absolutely determined to burn on this new EP. However, it is burning with a glow of an exceedingly cozy fire: the title track is a parcours noir through tingly, emotional worlds. At first endued with syncope-accentuated stumbling blocks, the way to the hidden realm shortly expands like a sweet temptation which is nerved with some harmonically caressing marbling. Permanent murmuring, burgeoning lust and salvation celebrate an adventurous alliance, the electric attractiveness of which is beguiling. 'Mongolian Skies' maintain the humming tension of a pleasantly massaging, celestial current and even intensify this effect of boosting high spirits by means of coherently flashing up, well-proportioned spots. The clear message is: passion and sophistication in the name of body shaking."

Artist:	BABICZ, ROBERT
Title:	Purple Dance
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 082EP

"Experience defines art, and quite honestly, Robert Babicz could also just sweat into the mic, and he would still produce a smash. That's because he's the man with a trademark sound that nobody can copycat. His sound is truly unique, as clean as it is dirty, with an ever-present fatness ruling the soundscape. His new masterpiece Purple Dance for Treibstoff is no different, presenting itself as an explicitly throbbing affair, garnished with a scent of melancholy and inducing rampant dance all over the place. These are four tracks made for the eternity residing in that one moment when the beat goes spinal and wows the serotonin budget. Clearly a home-run for Treibstoff, as Babicz takes over."

Artist:	JOHN KEYS
Title:	Pac Man
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 083EP

"Lucky coincidence, two soul mates have found each other who just had to meet one day: Dandy Jack (Perlon, Ruta 5, Contexterrior) belongs to the core of the Chile connection and influenced with his compadres Villalobos and Nicolet the flow of the past (and ongoing) 10 years party. A professional musician, Andrès Garcia (Helvet Underground, Logistic, Connaisseur) composes scores for film, theatre and contemporary dance and co-operated with Quenum und Lee Van Dowski, among others. Sparkling with flashes of inspiration, los yonquis musicales have fun in an advanced state. One of their matchless tricks is that they also know how to spread the fun with verve. The other trick: just if one feels to have become irreparably electrified by one of their tracks, they are really going to get started. This comes across as serious as whimsical, feathery, with a great degree of elasticity, at the same time with a straight vehemence factor. If the two hyperactives would be locked in a soundproof room for two hours to come down, they'd certainly reappear with brilliant ideas for at least two new albums. When the duo kicks into action, the high-grade funkiness of two particle streams colliding while dancing, explodes in ones face. No wonder, since their common production base is Geneva. Which makes clear who actually generates the black hole to devour the big standard repertoire of the world soon. It is becoming gigantic, and approaching!"

Artist:	BREITBARTH, RENE
Title:	Baseline
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 086EP

"It's a miracle that somehow Rene Breitbarth found the time to produce a 12" for Treibstoff, as his brand new label Deep Data keeps him quite occupied. It's a wonder too that the man also delivered what is probably his best work to date: 'Baseline' takes a deep breath, stays concile all the same, and spills nothing but pure groove. It's one hell of a ride, a stomping and rattling rollercoaster, walloping all those world music samples at one go. They're not needed anyway, as this track knows its way. Flanked by the schizoid anthem 'Criminal' and the tumble dryer called 'Jingling,' this piece of music takes on the floor frontally, locking its jaws in the listeners internal legs and telling you all those nice stories about this one great party you haven't been to. So better step up your game, we say!"

Artist:	JANOVSKY, MARCEL
Title:	Okay (Remixes)
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 087EP

"Burnt-out remix wrecks done by tight-lipped producing veterans, that's something still missing from Treibstoff's large back catalogue. And we're not going to change that, so we teamed up with the netlabel activists from Foem.info to look out for fresh and hungry talent, ready to dismantle one of labelhead Marcel Janovsky's most accomplished tracks. The nationalities involved range from Spain, the Netherlands or Great Britain to Sweden, Slovakia and even the USA, as the handpicked young guns did their respective thang to Marcel's 'Okay' without ever loosing the floor out of earsight. Summerly ease featuring sand-drawn hints of acid meets up with hypnotic groove monsters, a Detroitish comet tail floats across the sky, the beats bounce like a lowrider and the always welcomed oldschool workout found its place in the line up, too. This time it's ADSR's 'Back to 1989' remix, mastered by Warp-Co-Founder Rob Gorden himself. Seeing all that hotness in place, one might even have the impression that techno's found his A-Team."

Artist:	SARAH GOLDFARB
Title:	Boom Boom Babies
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 088EP

"Sarah Goldfarb's flying circus certainly isn't a mothy old stage. A light-fueled, premium-steeled ride sounds more like it, tearing past bleepy bass drops and aesthetically grinded synth cascades. It's one heck of a groove that Sarah is driving there, refining every singular sound particle until it swings right, pushing the envelope in every direction thinkable. Bounces featherlike, always, but never loses shape. Eternal hotness."

Artist:	BROCKSIEPER, FALKO
Title:	Welcome To Wherever You Are
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 089EP

"He's back! Falko Brocksieper, one of the most influential artists on Treibstoff alongside René Breitbarth, returns to the label he helped shaping from its very beginnings. And he surprises us with unforeseen playfulness on the three winning tracks comprising this custom-made release. 'Wherever You Are' sits on both sides of the fence, fusing traditional techno-futurism with thrillingly tight sequences that keep on peaking, incessantly propelled forwards by Falko's very own trademark swing. Equally at ease with its roots seems to be 'The First Ones,' the track where Falko lets the machines sing as if he were the reincarnation of one Bobby Konders. The secret masterpiece however comes with 'Nevermind,' for which the producer descends to the basement, looking for the deepest sounds he can take hold of. Romantic static meets marvelous chords, sustained by succulent rhythms, but the true moment of hotness arrives with the vocals. These vocals are so divine that even Treibstoff's marketing personnel misses the words to describe them in a suitable manner. Lets's put it like this: it's a must-have, straight from Treibstoff to your heart."

Title:	Remember
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 092EP

Robert Babicz delivers fat sound for every occasion, particularly those meant to move a crowd. That certainly applies to his new EP Remember, where we watch Robert pulling all the available strings to create his highly-functional brand of funky techno. From the dark, erotic futurism of "Storm Lunch" to the relentless mobility of the title track, our hero never drops the ball and keeps the fire burning, satisfying every party's needs.

Artist:	BROCKSIEPER, FALKO
Title:	Frantic Formula
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 093EP

Falko Brocksieper is a master of small gestures with big impact. "Frantic Formula" harks back to the classic expertise of Brocksieper's oeuvre, being light-footed and pushing forward at the same time. The playful and yet stern sequences of the EP's title track are the best examples of this, trotting along in a relaxed manner without ever deciding if they just wind down or start to run. Healthy bass and friendly harmonies that avoid hokum.

Artist:	PHILOGRESZ
Title:	Just When You Think It's Over
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 094EP

Philogresz aka Ilker Soylu finally joins the Treibstoff family, with the Dutchman's complex, yet straightforward grooves blending in smoothly with the label's sound. One can still hear a jazzy past, but even those influences go from mere ornamentation to functional pizzazz. Having a background as studio manager and label head of Secret Cinema's Team Records may have helped Philogresz, as one finds him maintaining the focus here. Includes a remix by Sarah Goldfarb.

Artist:	ANANDA, GABRIEL
Title:	Love Attack
Label:	TREIBSTOFF (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TREIB 095EP

After his legendary single Coconut Blues, Gabriel Ananda is back on Treibstoff. "Love Attack" has Ananda-typical earthy grooves. Strings lead to an organic bass line and take you on an emotional trip. "Open Up" is a very tricky piece of techno that develops an incredible suction. For the remix of "Open Up," Treibstoff hired Till Krüger who leaves the original sounds with a mood that recalls the dub-work of the legendary Gas project by Wolfgang Voigt.

Artist:	FLASH GRAB ROAD

Catalog #:	TREIB 098EP

Flash Grab Road is the story of a struggling taxi driver from Marseille who made electronic music in his spare time. After selling his taxi and record collection, he flew to Las Vegas, where he lost all of his money. The long descent into hell ended the day he found himself hitchhiking in Death Valley. A beautiful French tourist saved his life by welcoming him into her Cadillac. Thus the duo Flash Grab Road was born, combining exciting music with outrageous outfits.
