I Records and Yost directed this newest album with two distinct requirements. First to capture the purists who religiously loved the first CD’s and second to develop a record that merges the jazz sound further into the electronic world than any of the other releases. To produce such a result, Yost enlisted a bevy of talented musicians, producers and remixers to re-work some of the previously featured Jazz Influence recordings....[ read on ]

Two years ago, on the East Coast of America, a couple of highly technical production wizards joined forces and created their own genre of strange and creepy techno under the moniker, Voodeux. One from Boston and the other from Philadelphia, Tanner Ross and James Watts first released “The Curse” EP on mothership in 2008 with great success. With DJ support rolling in from everywhere Claude VonStroke soon commissioned them to record a full-length album of this new moody sound. Voodeux’s debut album, “The Paranormal” is a concentrated vision of myth and mysterious beats, exploring the eerie after-life side of techno like no other artists have done to date. It is a 10 track vision of ghosts and goblins hiding in the closet ready to scare the daylights out of you. Using dark funk, ghoulish atmospheres and futuristic production, Voodeux is staking their claim as the next generation of...[ read on ]

OHM-G : Moments - For and About the Special Moments in Life. OHM-G alias Olaf Gutbrod is a well-known name in the music scene. Vangelis or Vaya Con Dios estimate his work and his remixes just as much as Blank and Jones and many others.

With his fourth CD "Moments", OHM-G again offers evidence for his unbelievable versatility, his overflowing creativity and his obviously never-ending fund of ideas.
