"Nine phat and tasty instrumentals from Austria's premier hip hop group Texta, after their first LP called Geschwigen on Craft records. With these nine dope and laid back tracks, taken from their new album Gegenüber, the Linz based five piece manage to continue their pliant way of producing without losing the dopeness and the realness of the upper Austrian steelcity. Deep and fluid, Texta will surely break your heart."

"After 2 years noiseless absence Alois Huber is back with his third EP. As manager of a Latin club, lifeguard, Buddhist, and son of an asphalter, he presents a Disco House 6 tracker for burning down your dancefloor. The opening track 'My Boy' is a catchy mover that perfectly assimilates a cod House groove into its electronic matrix of mercury melody and stereo panning rhythms. The flipside is brewed in the engine room of a nuclear sub and boomin' dark beats. The beat functions as an unerring metronome, bleeding stabs of cyborg bass dance, hooking the body into a euphoria at odds with the hovering mid-range."

Architectronics a collaboration between Kodwo Eshun (The Wire/i-D) and Franz Pomassl (Sabotage/Laton), executed at the construction site of the Vienna Museum Quarter, performed right in the 60-foot deep pit, site of the future Museum of Modern Art and recorded live at the AR-60-Studio (ORF/FM4)/Vienna. Architectronics is the first time that Kodwo Eshun has transformed his theories on music, architecture and 'sonic fiction' into a performance. "Subtitled 'Black Atlantic Turns on Flow Line', a 1998 collaboration between the mind/throat of music-post-Neubauten-theorist/author/scribe 'du-jour' Eshun and Austrian abstract electronic genius Pomassl (his Trail Error on Laton took easily the finest direction in contemporary 'sound research' last year) executed at the construction site of the Vienna Museum Quarter. Originally perceived as 'dodgy' but actually rather effective through it's use of extensive audio signal DSP to render said vocal ruminations and related sibilance completely and totally unintelligible, thus saving us from any belated pop-culture pretension (judging by included prose, the casualty rate could have been rather high). What computer music SHOULD have graduated to a long time ago; a series of intriguing, often unbelievable sounds conceptually linked to individual acoustic audio-production engine components (lips/lungs/tongue). Stellar." -- Hrvatski.

"Men At Arms are the latest signing straight out of the Vienna backyards representing the deeper side of the Alsergrund streets. They are definitely dope and dangerous - so don´t *#$% with`em! The Vanguard titled debut EP features 5 phat dope beat instrumental tracks, produced by Rha7 and Kilowaz of 'Positive Conspiracy', a new HipHop project, which is preparing to take over world domination from the negative forces very soon -- some call ´em the Wu of Vienna..."

"The second release from the Vienna based three piece EPY. After showing the world their talent and production skillz in the field of abstract/trip hop/dope beats and advanced electronica on their debut EP Alte Musik von Morgen, they have now moved their interests more into the world of electro. The new album is dominated by phat and funky electro tracks, some of them old school flavoured. What makes them special is the way of producing; if you're into the stuff, combining old and new school electro like Breaking Records or Anthony Rother, then you should like this as well."

An unknown CD that supposedly contains "no music" (not exactly true). It's a 20-minute spoken word EP (in English at least) telling the Sabotage "story" in rather amusing form. If you've reduced yourself to a Sabotage completist, you may be able to talk yourself into this one. "Sabotage Communications presents the CD 20 Most Frequently Asked Questions, which should be understood as service and help. The questions/answers were picked out of an internal ask around and show the often asked points, which should show the background of Sabotage Communications and get the right interpretation."

"Hip Hop might not be the style that most people check for if they're into Vienna's mighty electronic imprint Sabotage. The instrumentals that the Austrian old-schoolers Texta come up with, fit in well with with their funky electro-flavour, laid-back jazziness. If you were into Sabotage's Austrian Flavour EP, this dope LP will do it for you."
