TICTACTOE 022EP
|
"Tic Tac Toe Records is back -- this time with candy for all the minimal minded techno ears among our fans. We bring you two teams of Danish supertalents: Ecco & Justin Side and remixers DJ Lab & Larry -- and not to mention well known maestro Ryan Crosson. Ecco is no newcomer to the international techno scene. He's already delivered great releases on We Are, Nummer and Syndikaat. Justin Side is of Mexican blood but is well known in Copenhagen where he is a promoter and producer. The main track on this release is 'Superficial K,' a truly great techno track that's already become a small underground hit on packed Copenhagen dancefloors. Ryan Crosson has turned 'Superficial K' into a super stripped down minimal funky piece. A great appeal to all fans of the M_nus sound! Second remix is done by newcomers DJ Lab & Larry."

TICTACTOE 020EP
|
"The Danish label for top-notch minimal house & techno -- proudly presents the first solo 12" from label boss: Kenneth Broxgaard aka Patrick Bateman. The electronic scene in Denmark is booming -- and one of the key instigators has been Bateman. A veteran DJ since the early '90s with a long list of national and international appearances under his belt, Patrick Bateman founded Tic Tac Toe Records in 2004. A1: 'Everglades' (Massi DL Remix) -- Massi DL strips down 'Everglades' to his minimal, weirdness-laden funk that will fit perfectly into the playlist of every DJ with love for the minimal. A2: 'Everglades' -- the original track is a trancey, hypnotic burner still very much in the tech-house vein. Lots of themes and hypnotic sounds for that trickling feeling in the back of your neck. This is a track that works very well on all floors. B1: 'Walk Through The Sky' -- this track is perfect for the warm-up session or the well placed breakdown in the middle of the set. The catchy melody on this track just keeps building and building. Great track in the vein of some early John Tejeda stuff."

"The Danish label for top-notch minimal house & techno comes a-knocking on your door with a new and upcoming group from Italy. Nperfectduo is a fairly new outfit created in 2006. It consists of Fabrizio De Piccoli & Federico Caldana. A: 'Spartacum' -- First track on the record is a 10+ minute journey high-voltage grooviness with lots of bubbling sounds, maximizing this track's dance floor usefulness. It just keeps building and climbing, building and climbing without end -- but also without ever getting boring. First class druggy music for the mind, the body and the what-ya-call'um. B: 'Spartacum (Hansen & DJ Daniel Remix)' -- TTT homeboys Hansen & Daniel found some time to do this remix in between working on their Tic Tac Toe album. They have turned the track into a beautiful, trancey piece of techno with their usual simplistic-yet-nerve-churning melodies."

TICTACTOE 018EP
|
"These two Swiss guys are now joining their talents, outlooks, and musical angle to produce a very fresh, crispy and innovative house music sound. They thumb their noses at being pigeonholed into any musical genre and have the originality to back it up. A1: 'Attack of the Firebird' -- the opening tune is a multivaried monster. Super bass lines start off right away and bird screaming sounds kick in, building up pressure. Then follows a multitude of keys and emotional sounds and a formidable string ending, big room style -- and the roof of the club is lifted and the minds on the dance floor are blown away. B1: 'Disease' -- the B-side track is a more nervous affair, where Ludovic & Yves couple their knack for fat bass lines with a trickling of the nerve ends with eerie sound. The result is both tense and energetic."

TICTACTOE 017EP

"The Danish label for top-notch minimal house & techno proudly presents the long awaited remix edition of the successful compilation: Noughts And Crosses. The Noughts and Crosses compilation presented awesome goodies from some of the finest Danish producers at the moment -- and choosing out the tracks to be remixed for this edition was a hard task. After careful deliberations we ended up with three tracks: Amox & Atle's - 'A Witch's Kiss,' Brightlight's 'How To Build A Monster' and of course the hit by Matt Vega & Morten Fresh -- 'Instant Corruption.' We love all these tracks -- but we were very confident to hand them over to the remixers we chose for the assignment. All are brilliant people with a very different approach to music. And as expected, they recreated already solid floor burners into three pieces of brilliance in their own right. Remixers chosen are Ink And Needle -- Copenhagen friends who have been stomping the charts the last 4-5 months with their widely known Tattoo Rec. Benno Blome -- presentation of him and his innovative Sender Records from Berlin isn't really necessary. And finally, Nino Raro aka Inaqui Marin, known for his work on the Spanish label, Regular."

"Cant is already a household name for the Tic Tac Toe buyers, known as Hansen -- the one half of Hansen & DJ Daniel. He is a technical mastermind that has produced music since God knows when -- and he doesn't limit himself to the boundaries of electronic dance music. This time we got help from our Philly-based friends at FoundSound who provided us with French expatriate Cyhl aka Fusiphorm. An 11-minute journey of outrageous sounds that just keeps building and building. A blend of beautiful melancholic melodies and a lo-fi-but-still-immaculate quality that is sure to make the hairs on your arm stand straight, this track will truly move any floor in those late morning hours -- or just your mood and mind when played on the system at home. Cyhl's style can be described as on the 'in your face' minimal side -- and this is certainly what he delivered for this remix. Fusiphorm has turned the more deep-ish original track and turned it into a straight-up pumping minimal piece of funkiness."

"The top-notch Danish label for minimal house & techno -- presents another slammer by our home-boys Hansen & DJ Daniel. This time, they've once again brought out their secret weapon from the arsenal -- the unique vocal qualities of singer Jakob Kosteljanetz and made a fantastic track that's also been tweaked into a huuuge remix. Hansen & DJ Daniel have been here since we kicked off -- and we're proud to present their fourth Tic Tac Toe release. Their signature sound has gotten the attention of a widespread audience -- and we're confident that this new EP will be met with the same acclaim as the three before. On this release we've employed the smooth talents of Kaito from Tokyo, Japan for a remix. He really doesn't need much of a presentation. His melodic, ambient and mellowy, trancey albums and singles on the legendary Kompakt label are well known."
