DMX Krew presents the music that has influenced him, from Kraftwerk to LL Cool J, from fusion jazz to hardcore rave, it’s a chronological journey from a unique voice in electronic music.

DMX Krew’s ‘Bass Drop EP’, Turbo 057, will be released in December. Here’s the press release for that to give a bit more background:

We at Turbo are longtime fans of DMX Krew, so it’s a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label ‘White Leather’. We don’t normally trace an artist’s history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. With all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays it’s easy to forget who the real masters are… ED DMX is one of them.

I’ve always held a soft spot for Ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. Hearing his live version of the Knight Rider theme at Sona (Tiga’s club circa ‘96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. Of all the artists I’d met up until then, he was the coolest: he could play synths better than anyone I’d ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set, but he was a sweet, soft-spoken, and super funny guy.

For reasons I’ve never understood, Ed’s pop side didn’t seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn… interesting stuff, but a departure from the bright immediacy I loved in his earlier records. I was starting to put him into that category of genius artist that pissed me off because they weren’t making the music I wanted them to make, but were on some brain-trip doing things I didn’t understand (think Aphex Twin, Prince, Jori Hulkkonen…). So I let him fall off my radar… And THEN…

2007 rolls around and his alias 101 Force drops ” ‘Tha Return’, followed shortly thereafter by ‘SH101 Triggers MS10′, easily two of my favorite records of the year and some of the best acid house ever made. Buy them now. I could blather on and on about how incredible those records are, but the important thing is that we took action and signed ‘The Bass Drop.’

This EP doesn’t reference or pay homage to Acid House so much as it embodies it. This is the real deal.

It is with great pride that we bring you DMX Krew, same as he ever was, the analog don back to school all you blog-turds in the art of the acid groove.

I asked Zombie if he wanted to do a podcast for us and he replied: “What a coincidence. I hate doing dj mixes, and I never did one in the last 3 years until today.” So here you have it…

While the Munich based producer is best known for his NHL-anthem ‘Kernkraft 400′, he’s hardly a commercial dance act, having produced darker, gritty techno both under ‘Zombie Nation’, his alias ‘John Starlight’, and as one half of ZZT along with Tiga. He’s one of the best performer’s in live techno, foregoing the ubiquitous Ableton setup in favor of an oldschool approach centered around the classic MPC. He’s got incredible stage presence, mixing control with chaos in just the right proportion, with enough novelty (masks, fake blood, head banging) to keep crowds staring in awe.

John Starlight’s ‘Road Rage’ has just been given an incredible remix by Popof, and the new ZZT record ‘The Worm’ is set to drop in October on Turbo Recordings.

I don’t know too much about Max Pask, except that he has a mightier afro than me, speaks French, and lives in NY. I played with him one time at Paris’ Social Club and it was an awesome night which left me with a very favorable impression of the man. He’s just done a cool new remix for Cut Copy and seems to be on the rise with his productions, but he’s already in that rare category of artist who is respected firstly as a DJ.

Enjoy this nearly 2 hour mix: ‘Escape From Planet Max Pask’.

Today we celebrate the rerelease of ‘Sunglasses at Night’, Tiga & Zyntherius’ era-defining electroclash anthem, back for 2008 with an incredible pack of remixes from Alter Ego, D.I.M., Popof, Konrad Black, Black Devil Disco Club, and more…Zyntherius is none other than our resident podcaster Jori Hullkkonen, Finnish synth god and gentleman of the highest order…He has cooked up a brand new episode to mark the occasion… as usual it’s top quality edutainment… enjoy! • jorihulkkonen.com

• Sunglasses At Night is released August 27 on iTunes and Beatport

Sid Loves Turbo has been mincing around with a lot of disco and pop lately, so this time around we go back to the source with an all-Turbo tribute. I was sent this mix by a guy called Duff, a Spanish DJ who writes an impressive looking music blog. I can’t read Spanish, but it’s nice to see someone writing pages about music with no free download links.

He’s a big fan of the label and he paid his respects with a great retrospective.

The mix is a bit rough around the edges… but I thought it was a well chosen selection of some of Turbo’s finest moments, and deserved to get some extra exposure. Hope you enjoy it!

Check out this excellent interview on his site from Jori Hulkkonen (this one is in English):

Julien Plaisir De returns with a podcast dedicated to ’summer love’, Parisian style. Please note that if you’re not French, you’ll still enjoy most of this mix but there’ll be a few that you’ll be biologically forced to skip. The A&R police at Turbo were able to forgive the obvious indulgences because we ARE true romantics at heart (even if OUR idea of romance is a six hour 303 symphony). I’ve recently had the pleasure of staying with Julien in his adorable apartment in Paris and I’m pleased to report that this mix legitimately sounds a lot like his life feels – like a cross between a Wes Anderson and Eric Rohmer film. Enjoy!

Matt Walsh returns with funk therapy and a new haircut. Disco and acid are the flavor of the day along with sneak preview tracks from Matt’s ‘Clouded Vision’ project.

‘Diskokaine’ is a Viennese producer, DJ and label owner who, along with the Dutch Clone crew is at the forefront of the Italo ‘revival’. Disco revivalism never seems to go anywhere, the revolution never happens, but it also never dies out completely… but 2008 seems to have some real momentum for the movement, with labels like Italians Do It Better, DFA, Clone and Diskokaine putting out quality stuff.

Enjoy this short mix, check out his crazy myspace profile, and get the Sally Shapiro album on Diskokaine records.

Tom Boy and Fredski are the two hard partying Danes behind Tartelet Records. Tom Boy is best known for being the drummer in ‘Who Made Who’, and his releases on Gomma and Turbo.

Jori Hulkkonen puts other podcasters to shame. He’s a brilliant selector and presenter and of course an incredible producer. This podcast includes a world premier of his remix for Presets, some long lost 80s & italo gems, and ends with a beautiful track off his just released album on F Communications ‘Errare Machinale Est’.

Berlin’s Oskar Melzer is a club-owning, Schnitzel-eating, trendy- DJ’ing, Lufthansa-traveling young man with impeccably great taste. His car is the dopest Jag you’ve ever seen. His home is the coolest place I’ve ever been. His girlfriend the Cobra makes the best de-tox breakfast in the world and is the voice of Turbo as well as MTV Germany. We have an exclusive interview with the man behind Weekend nightclub and a mix fresh out of the German techno-bubble. Pretty pretttttty good.

Love from Montreal,

Thomas Von Party

Our apologies for the mixup… but SLT.025 was mistakenly labeled as Duke Dumont. We uploaded the wrong podcast… it has now been corrected, so listen to the REAL Duke Dumont podcast!

London’s Duke Dumont sent us this recording of his live set. He’s down with Switch and Sinden and the Dubsided crew, but his big hit was on Turbo:)
New-school / Old-school / fake-rave / brave-wave for all the blogshitz in the house! Enjoy!!!

Skatebård (pronounced Skateboard) is the coolest guy to ever come out of Bergen, Norway… Erlend Oye being a distant second. Norwegians are for some reason obsessed with disco, and Skatebård is an expert on the Euro-centric subgenre of obscure Italo. I’m thrilled that he did this podcast for us, it’s incredible and complete with gentlemanly banter in his very exotic accent. AND, if you haven’t already, check out his album: ‘Midnight Magic’.

To celebrate the fiesta del amor on February 14th, Sid Loves Turbo will host its first event at Code Bar. Julien Plaisir De aka Sweetlight will be in town directly from Paris (where they specialize in Love!!). During the 5à7 he will also showcase a picture exhibition which will also appear in our Sid Lee Collective Gallery.

Here’s a little Bio on Julien :

Originally playing whatever makes noise in a dodgy Nantes pop group influenced by seminal bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Stone Roses and the like, Julien turned into DJ-ing in raves after being thrown into the dance craze in 1992 and dancing his ass off to Laurent Garnier, Luke Slater, Aquarium, Jeff Mills, Tom & Jerry Bouthier, Mike Ink… From there, Julien developed his DJ-ing style by playing all the key parties in the Brittany area in France and make his first international appearance in Amsterdam in 1999. He got his first breakthrough as a producer with Boris Hervé & S Rom as “Plaisir de France”, thanks to his encounter with the Pro Zak crew in 2000 and released several EPs that have being playlisted by DJs from all across the house board. However, his collaboration with Dan Ghenacia is what really put Julien on the international map. He started a production team under the name of Sweetlight & Dan Ghenacia and continued with the Sweetlight project with his production mate Alexis Desaegher on Dan Ghenacia’s label FreaK n’Chic.

So tell all your facebook friends and be there to groove with us in this first (of hopefully many) Sid Loves Turbo events.

Bang Gang @ Turbo Speed

Australia’s infamous ‘Bang Gang’ deejays serve up a fun-loving whopper of a mix… Crikey!! 32 tracks that balance sex jamming with psychedelic star gazing. Highlights include ELO, DJ Assault mixing into Jean Michel Jarre, MIA, Hot Chip, Data, the brand new Presets track and an old Tiga remix from the Turbo vaults. Fare dinkam, mate!!

Boys Noize has emerged this year as a top tier contender in the
heavyweight techno category along with Justice and Soulwax. His debut
album ‘Oi Oi Oi’, out now on Turbo / Last Gang records is one of the
biggest dance hits of the year and his remixes of Feist, Bloc Party,
and Kaiser Chiefs have asserted his crossover appeal.

So we all got together and decided to throw a little Christmas bonus
together for the Sid Loves Turbo community. Enjoy!!

Watch Boys Noize bring the house down this Saturday at the Neon Xmas
party.

“Original” is a dangerous word in music…it’s something everyone throws around… but in my days I have known very few… and Jori is one of the last true electronic pioneers… never afraid to make a record everyone hates, and in the process he makes records that everyone ends up loving… and crucially HE loves. In this cookiecutter world of myspace profiles and generic soulless music Jori is a dying breed, an artist, and a real character who marches relentlessly to the sound of his own drums (and strings).”

Tiga

Jori has been with Turbo since the very beginning (Turbo 001!) but he’s just hitting his prime and has just delivered an incredible remix of Chromeo and has a new EP entitled ‘Rave 2.0′ coming out next week.

We asked Matt to do another ‘cast, because his first one was so good.

Another smart selection focusing on the convergence between acid house and disco from a great DJ with some very pretty new press shots.

Matt is currently hard at work polishing his debut ep for Turbo…
stay tuned ;)

Julien Plaisir De returns for an intimate French-only podcast.
A crash course in 80s French-pop… this is musical camembert!!

La Boum!!!

Sid Loves Turbo goes back to a radio-style, talking-DJ format.
Great episode, don’t miss it ;)

It’s a hectic job bringing Turbo back into the global spotlight, and as our dedicated listeners may have noticed, Sid Loves Turbo has seen delays as a result. I knew I had to pull in the reins and get some content together fast while finishing my next podcast, so I asked friend and Montreal DJ Mike Mind to give us his latest mix, complete with tracklist and artwork, thinking I would save time. What I didn’t take into account
was that Mike would give me a virtuosic, densely-layered mix with 21 tracks, and that it would be up to me to figure out where ‘Skoozbot’ ended and ‘Glass Candy’ begun… just putting the track markers in took me over an hour!!! and I’m the Power-User computer-whiz responsible for the Tiga / Turbo mainframe.

Next time you think you’ve been working hard, chew on this: Mike doesn’t sleep! He has been working continuously since he was 4 years old. While you were playing in the sandbox, he was counting grains of
sand, while you were taking 3 classes so you could have Fridays off he was 16 years old at Harvard, while you were getting high at a party last weekend, he was jacked up on black coffee studying drum layering, and while you were taking a lunch break yesterday he was eating a cigarette to get the edge he needed to EQ this mix.

Here’s the deal: the world can only ignore intelligence and diligence for so long… mark my words people, sooner or later, Mike Mind is going to the top, and it will be a well-deserved ascent, so if you’re smart, you’ll get your think on and be down with this Brain-mix.

Tiga heard Matt play at T Bar and thought he was great, so we asked him to do a podcast for us, and he was really sweet and grateful at the opportunity. A week later he came back to us with this dope mix of acid and disco - some unreleased new records (great new Juan Maclean!!) and some old gems (Don Quixote, where have you been all my life?), all kicked off by a classic ‘Screamadelica’ intro you’re about to hear. There are no obvious tracks, no ‘mash-up’ of no- brainer-bombs… just weird groovy records picked with passion and confidence…

This is an old-fashioned mix with the analog warmth of an all-vinyl set, put together with the cool knowledge of a myspace kid… a rare balance in today’s blog-o-sphere.
