The legendary Clone.nl record label series' are constantly delivering heat whether it be groundbreaking techno music from Blawan on Basement, Italo journeys on Classic Cuts or straight up house music on Jack For Daze . Not only is Serge from Clone an incredible businessman with a knack for getting people excited about every single release, but he is also an extremely talented purveyor of great music, perhaps the two go hand in hand rather well... Touch The Sky see's the return of Alden Tyrell collaborating with Chicago house pioneer, Mike Dunn . The pair [...]
Happy New Year from the Cold Crush mob... let's start 2012 with a deeeeeep electro mix from our man VLR from Norway (who you should remember from his ill Heinrich Mueller Research mix). A 72 minute trip into tech-funk, end-of-the-world tearjerkers and robotic electro jams. Baby are you deep enough?
I had the joy of hearing this record a few times over the weekend, and there is no doubt it's an absolute burner. The original version from Gerd is a ripper, especially when that bass line hits for the first time. Sure enough the Alden Tyrell and Serge remix also holds it own and makes the original Royal Oak record worth the money. But then Royal Oak releases a huge remix package from Deetron and the one and only Mr Fingers. Larry Heard takes things in a very different, but beautiful direction. His age [...]
[ Royal Oak ] These days it seems like each new Gerd release is described by its label as having been recently unearthed from his old hard drives or DATs. That the Dutch producer is still turning up fresh delicacies is a testament to how busy he's kept in his two decades of production. But it also speaks to just how tremendous his talents are, as each track feels uncannily in-tune with [...]
Image by Saskia Olde Wolbers [Planet Mu] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy CD ) ( buy mp3s ) In the game for well over a decade, Travis Stewart has long been in the business of forging his own path. Over the course of more albums than most of your favorite producers could ever hope to make, he's inimitably fused highbrow electronica, hip-hop, and a whole host of club genres, using his undeniable pop sensibility as superglue. But sometime late [...]
I was lucky enough to catch up with Philip Gamble aka Girl Unit after his set at Oxford's Baby Love Bar. After a quick pit stop at a kebab truck to get some much-needed cheesy chips and onions, we ventured into the unknown territory of an Oxford University College common room, where coupled with the loud noise of some 'lads' watching the ashes, I attempted my first interview. With highlights of Girl Unit giving us the lowdown on who Velour is (Julio Bashmore and Hyetal) yes the cats out of the bag, he gave us an insight into his music [...]
I seriously cannot recommend enough that you download this mix immediately . I think I've listened to it at least six times now in the last week. If you're familiar with Shadow Dancer (three gold stars for you!) then this mix will be quite the surprise as I can positively say I've never heard this side of the brothers before, whether it be live or in their production. Filled with beautiful autumn grooves this entire mix evokes everything about their new track 'It's The Everything' fresh off BNR 's new sublabel, BNR TRAX . [...]
Photo by Genevieve Caron [ Clone Jack For Daze Series ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) Without having done any research, I was pretty sure Murphy Jax was another Chicago dude who I had never heard of but who people twenty years my senior knew well. With a bit of research it turned out It's The Music is Mr. Jax's debut release. If the name doesn't give it away, Clone's Jack For Daze series is devoted [...]
If you're looking for some fun this weekend you could do a lot worse than to venture down to Fabric to see Jackmaster. Not only did he have us dancing round our bedrooms earlier this year with... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
We're proud to announce our new club concept Virgin Ears – The Intimate Disco Club together with Dogs from Redding and Blek ( Samlingen ). The premiere night is this Friday and we got a feeling it's going to be sweaty. The club will take place in the intimate basement of Blå Skåpet. It's going to be personal and intense downstairs with a little help from our lasers in the dark and of course the great pumping music. Here is a teaser for the premiere night with a remix of Kraftwerk.: [...]
[Clone Loft Supreme Series] ( buy vinyl ) (buy mp3s tk) It can't be much fun being cloaked in solid darkness 24 hours a day for months on end, but then the prospect of experiencing equally tedious endless daylight can't exactly be appealing either. But so it is for Sami Liuski and Pauli Jylhankangas who, based in the northern climes of Finland, put up with the dual aspects of luminosity and murk for long stretches of time. Perhaps to counter the the interminable winters or rather to celebrate the wonder of boundless [...]
Zaterdag 7 november vindt er ter ere van de bijzonder fijne electro- en andere elektronicaverzamelaar Another Another Green World een erg interessante avond plaats in het Patronaat in Haarlem . Narrominded , het label achter de verzamelaar, heeft onder meer Rude 66, Alden Tyrell en FFF gerekruteerd om deze avond de herinterpretatie van het Brian Eno-album live ten gehore te brengen. Eerder schopte het album het al tot de herfstselectie van Eclectro , dus live moet dat helemaal goedkomen. Gezien de economische crisis werpt Eclectro zich graag op als [...]
Our dear friend in Rotterdam, Odessa , just sent us this amazing new video by The Hasbeens featuring a single from their upcoming 12" release, available on Clone Records . The Hasbeens feature the talents of Netherland dream team duo, Alden Tyrell and DJ Overdose . Their carefully crafted sound epitomizes the grim glamour of dystopian disco. The video for " You and Me " showcases this appreciation for the murky shadows of night life. Directed by Billy NoMates (Mathilde "Odessa" Karrer and Jasper Verhorevoort) and shot on beautiful RED [...]

En zo is er opeens een heuse videoclip uit het Rotterdamse Clone-kamp. The Hasbeens, een project van Alden Tyrell en DJ Overdose, gebruiken samples van oude libraryplaten om hun eigen tracks te maken. Dat leverde het duo in ieder geval de cult hit Make The World Go Away op. Nu is er een nieuwe single op Clone: You & Me , mét artistiek verantwoorde videoclip. De extragratis hoeren worden u aangeboden door regisseursduo Billy NoMates. Klik hier om de embedded video te bekijken.
Perfect sunday morning Italo-Cosmic disco, this beauty was released on Clone back in 2006 and I heard it out for the fist time last night. It makes me want to grow a moustache and put on a white suit with 3 sets of shoulder-pads. Download audio file (Odessa%20Theme.mp3) alden tyrell- odessa theme
Hackney boy producer and edit extraordinaire, we are yet to find a bad tune from this guy. Originally one half of Radioslave he now runs Arcobaleno records and holds down a residency at We Love Sundays at Space. This mix from May 30th 2006 fueled my love for the techno italo combo. Resident adivisor has a cool piece about the man in question. 1. X-Ray Connection – Get Ready (sSuk edit) 2. Poussez – Come on and do it (Cuts) 3. Jimmy Bo Horn – Spank (sSuk edit) 4. Nitro Deluxe – Lets [...]
It's kind of breaking my heart that legendary Dutch label Clone will no longer be releasing new music . I've always regarded Clone as a top five dance imprint. It started out peddling primarily acid house and techno, but its theme and variety has evolved over the years. In the mid-to-late 2000s, Clone focused primarily on Moroder -influenced throwback disco, which would ultimately help pave the way for folks like Hercules and Love Affair , Kelley Polar and Italians Do It Better . [...]
The Netherlands seems to be a breeding ground for itlao-disco inspired electro funkers. One of which is Alden Tyrell . He stays true to the rules of ol´ time electro and takes it beyond into the future where it was originally heading before other people (who won´t be mentioned here) retrofied it. MP3 Alden Tyrell - Knockers ( Alt. Link ) MP3 Alden Tyrell - Digger ( Alt. Link ) Plus a mix he did full of beautiful italo with Moustache Records head honcho [...]
