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,

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’.

love from Montreal,

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.

Chaim is an up-and-coming producer and DJ from Tel Aviv. He’s put out some beautiful records on Cocoon, Dogtown, Supplement Facts, and just this month released the ‘Isreality EP’ on Turbo. His collaboration with Guy Gerber ‘Myspace / Beaches’ was one of my favorite 12″s of 2007… distinctive psychedelic techno that refined the best of trance and minimal techno into pure crystal acid. If you haven’t checked those tracks out you can hear them in SLT.07… get high off the vapors and then come back to enjoy this mix of deep housey grooves from the holy land.love from Montreal,Thomas Von Party http://www.myspace.com/chaimavital

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).”

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.
