“In the early morning am hours in Dallas Tx 1996, there was a mysterious and historic road tucked away from the bustling city chaos. It was in this place that the earliest house and techno sounds were heard by area residents and the eerie, hypnotic vibe of the surroundings created the illusion of stepping into another world. Among those to experience these nights of insanity was a young James Watts. Nearly 12 years later he has captured the essence of this legendary place in a spaced out Techno trembler. Luna Rd. uses floating vibes to travel the listener to the outer reaches while increasing energy propels the rhythm into an intense workout. To further drive this project to abstraction, we invited HD label artist Molecule to bring his digitally de-constructive vision to the EP. The RTFM Mix is packed with creepy spacial abnormalities and sharp glitchy noises. His Wrong Turn Mix starts right into a wave of chaos as synths, drones, and tones collide to create pure dance-floor insanity. As a special Beatport exclusive, we have included another jamming tune by Mr. Watts called “The Grog”. The Grog jacks with subversive synth syncopation and killer bass swells till halfway through when the bass explodes into a myriad of rocking riffs with crunchy filters and Star Wars esque mechanic noises."

LIMACON
The Ride
TLM014

Following an impressive string of outings on Poker Flat, Resopal and Auralism, California's Limaçon provides Thoughtless with three lucid tech-house jams designed for bass-propelled transportation. Featuring analog hardware and plenty of syncopation, the production on all three cuts speaks for itself – making a convincing argument for the future of machine funk. Hot off his Trentemoller remix for Tic Tac Toe, Rekids' James Teej shows us why he's poised to be Toronto's next big thing with a chugging yet evocative remix of 'The Ride'. In turn, Voodeux's KiloWatts drops a searing interpretation with burning keys and winding synth lines weaving into a prolonged tech-house crescendo. Fasten your seatbelt – with Limaçon at the wheel, we're in for a thoughtless ride...

Title: Pina Colada (Remixes by Voodeux and Maetrik)
Label: Mothership
Format: 12“ Single
Pre Sales:July 14th 2008
Releasedate: August 18th 2008

Just in time for the dog days of summer comes Piña Colada, a juicy slice of sun-drenched techno from Rodriguez Jr., (aka Olivier M, of The Youngsters [F-comm]). Fresh off his monster anthem ‘Rubbo Swingo’ for Mobilee’s ‘Leena’ sublabel, Rodriguez Jr. has created another unforgettable melody in Piña Colada. However, this time he has abandoned ‘Rubbo’s’ post-apocalpytic groans and growls, focusing instead on a playful, weightless theme that tugs up at the corners of your mouth as it skips through its octaves. This is techno for sweaty street parties, BBQ’s, and moonlit beach raves.

On the B-side, mothership’s own wunkerkinds Voodeux twist the gleeful melody into something almost sinister, infusing their signature spine-tingling soundscapes and booming toms into the mix. Their buildup gathers an almost unfair amount of momentum, crashing back in with the tuned toms before their euphoric and demented take on the main theme rides their mix to a close.

Also on the flip, Maetrik makes his second appearance on mothership in as many records, following up his ‘Space Chronic EP’ with a dark techno interpretation of Piña Colada. His version completely deconstructs the theme and rebuilds it from scratch. The end result is a Piña Colada of galactic sized bass and careening melodies – a fitting conclusion to this shimmering collection of summer techno.

KiloWatts- Exit The Laugh

A1. Everglade
A2. Everglade (Alland Byallo's Mixed Messages Dub)
B1. Exit The Laugh
B2. Well Tempered Weirdness

"The project kicks off with a heady,sharp, staccato tech house tune with dancefloor crumbling bass! Eveglade is a wintery and hypnotic pallate of strange sounds clashed with melodic swells. Like a trip through a forest, it changes and morphs from a light jazzy atmosphere to an intense synth ridden banger! San Francisco's Alland Byallo gives his signature spacey techno rework to Everglade. Dubby drums and covert chords rattle as this late night rework chugs along sending listeners into an unfocused reality. On the flip KiloWatts offers a drummy minimal techno tune with plenty of gnarling bass and glitched out pops! Exit the Laugh has a clockwork orange feel with haunting melodies and scary music box leads. Keeping with the astranged scenery Well Tempered Weirdness is a dancefloor timebomb! This tune starts out mellow and well mannered but soon builds into a swirl of naughty circus dreams with immense filtered strings and and various other sonic abnormalities. "
