Trapez celebrates the 100th release in their vinyl catalog with the Trapez 100 compilation -- cementing their role in the international techno scene for almost a decade. Trapez began in 2000 with an image of a label that was the opposite to parent-label Traum, with plenty of Detroit-influenced techno dance weapons specifically geared towards the DJ. Since their inception, Trapez has also been the first stop for artists that are now internationally-renowned, and to celebrate, Trapez 100 features exclusive, unreleased material and lots of curiosities. It all starts with a deep track that is a label-favorite, "Verse 2the Chorus" -- recorded by Donal Tierney aka Five Green Circle years ago, it is presented here in a remix by the Cologne duo, Salz. The UK's Raw Hedroom aka Gareth Williams has contributed another wonderfully deep track "Lauryn's Tokyo Bananas," and Trapez pays tribute to UND with the craziest track the label has ever released, "Fox In The Box," remixed by Christian Martin in a wobbly, west coast house version. Hot Cologne newcomer Roland M. Dill contributes a funky, rocking piece of music that is much more house-y and jacking than his previous releases, and the next track is a remix of Oliver Hacke's legendary "Der Vampir Von Düsseldorf" by Dirt Crew label owner, Break 3000. No samples of the original existed, and so he had to replay everything himself for a fantastic, monumental, grinding version. Dominik Eulberg has written a brand new techno track for this comp, and Gabriel Ananda also presents a new one that combines rocking and deep passages, creating a super flow and a stunning dynamic. Florian Meindl's tune "Blast" has been remixed by Berlin techno duo Format: B, who add their own signature to what was already a huge peak-time floor destroyer. Chris Gowland aka Gow stays on the comical and witty side, while Jeff Samuel presents a new funky track. The compilation concludes with a brand-new team-up from 3 Channels and SLG -- a dubby and atmospheric deep piece of techno.
