Gesaffelstein has a way of taking dark songs and plunging them deeper into the shadows. On his latest remix release, the French producer strips Depeche Mode 's latest single of its bluesy instrumentation and replaces it with a plodding industrial beat and minimal atmospheric flourishes. Gesaffelstein leaves his trademark in the thoughtful phased synthesizers that accentuate the impact of key vocal phrases. The overall effect transforms the track from a straightforward lament by singer Dave Gahan into something significantly more desperate and ominous in tone, perfectly complementing the desolate candor of the lyrics. Purchase: iTunes [...]

Turbo Century V This week the legendary Turbo Recordings released the fifth installment of their Century compilation series. This time around, the label’s masterminds have hand-picked the top tracks from Turbo releases 101 through 125, a period spanning over two years from May 2011 to June 2012.

One great thing about Depeche Mode's new album release and current world tour is the numerous remixes we'll be hearing throughout the year. Their newest single, Soothe My Soul , was released on Columbia Records with four different versions, each with their own set of tracks and remixes. The most intriguing release is perhaps the one which includes only two tracks: Soothe My Soul and Goodbye (Gesaffelstein Remix) . Why? Well for starters, this is the only release in the bunch that includes any track that isn't a remix of Soothe [...]
Hablar de Miss Kittin (Caroline Hervé) es hablar de la historia reciente de la música electrónica cuando a finales de la década de los 90s junto The Hacker publicó unos cuantos temas que se han convertido en clásicos, en himnos de una generación, como luego su colaboración junto a Golden Boy (dejando otros grandes y maravillosas composiciones) para en el 2004 presentar su álbum en solitario, el gran 'I Com' con ese sonido sucio y contundente de la francesa y fundando su propio sello Nobody's Bizzness donde publicaría en el 2007 su [...]

What happens when the new hype dude of techno remixes a classic Depeche Mode tune? Something pretty darn special. The remix is more of a slow-burner from Gesaffelstein , but still sticks to his dark roots, perfectly complimenting the original vibe of DM's "Goodbye". Listen up! No official details for release. This youtube stream was simply posted up on facebook this morning with no warning. Stay tuned.

Hotly tipped Parisian alt-pop duo TOYS are about to burst onto the scene.

Past editions of Brazil's Rock in Rio music festival have drawn upward of 1.5 million people, and this year's lineup should do little to curb enthusiasm.

Brodinski and fam went in mid-day at the stacked ' We Are All Friends ' label party in Miami this year. The event featured pretty much every popping imprint out there at a prime setting in South Beach. We stopped by to check out the Parisian homies of team Bromance and couldnt be more stoked by the great vibez of WMC. Desipite a few scattered showers, the event went off perfect with a fun crowd all day. As the place for high energy dance music, every big name was on-site for the festivites. We definetaly [...]

Laurent Garnier ft L.B.S crew - Jacques in the box ( PARADE remix) [ mp3 SoundCloud] The remix EP of Laurent Garnier's Jacques in the box is out now via Ed Banger, including the Brodinski & Gesaffelstein remix.

If musical terrorists existed, Grand Central would have been swarming with Secret Service agents last Thursday. It's not often that the bosses of arguably the three most forward-thinking dance music labels on the planet convene under one roof. With surprise special guest Boys Noize joining an already loaded lineup of Bromance buddies Brodinski and Gesaffelstein and Dirtybird owners Claude VonStroke and Justin Martin , Hard Miami's second night was akin to a diplomatic summit between techno, electro and tech funk pioneers. At least throw Kavinsky [...]
The Hacker and Gesaffelstein's Zone Records have released the formidable Computer Dope EP from Remote , a Parisian duo composed of Eric Guillanton and Sébastien Fouble. Having selectively released tracks for Kill the DJ and Citizen Records, Guillanton and Fouble seem to revel in crafting dark, ominous grooves like a pair of mad dance floor scientists. Luckily for us they've lent their touch to a killer Big Shot Guest mix featuring a blend of new and old tunes that was recorded on the fly. "This is a three-decks set and the mix is all about [...]
Last week we decided we set ourselves an ambitious target of doing one artist interview a week for the rest of the year, a tall order we know, but we're confident from now until Christmas we can introduce you to 20132s most exciting producers and artists. The interviews aren't done face-to-face, but via email, with a simple set of questions to the let artists introduce themselves and tell us what they've got planned for the rest of the year. This week's Introducing comes from French electronic duo Remote who caught our ear with their dark and brooding Sci-Fi [...]
This morning we have for you a treat from the Bromance Boys. Brodinski and Gesaffelstein laid hands on Laurent Garnier 's trippy techno track " Jacques In The Box " from April of last year, and as always, the results are quite striking. It's Garnier in slow motion - keeping the heart of the song intact but highlighting up the spookier side of French techno. It is not as easy to appreciate the remix without listening to how they altered the original, so make sure you get a chance to do both. The full remix [...]

The Bromance between Brodinski and Gesaffelstein has never been more alive and last weekend they proved their true and unmistakable love for electronic and garage beats which made the public, including me, suffer from an extremely dangerous lack of air because of the ecstatic movements we were endorsed to conduct during each and every track they produced. Improvisation, combined with a painfully strong lust for earth-hitting smashing drops, and mixture between contemporary rap and good old Belgium, created an atmosphere of a tribal trance catharsis that unlocked all legal and illegal (!) desires among the shaking (mostly) [...]
“Where My Head’s At” is a feature from Dancing Astronaut that gives readers a quick glimpse into an editor’s personal music tastes and how they developed. Subject matter will be all over the map, but we want to let you get a feel for individual editors, and where their heads are at. This dance music empire is built on pre-packaged euphoria. Every break, build, and drop is carefully calculated to appeal to your ears and legs. There's nothing wrong with that. If you're looking for someone to sneer at the break up of Swedish House Mafia or to [...]

Der Staccato-Bass ist sein Markenzeichen und düstere Melodien prägen seinen Sound, die einfach unverkennbar sind. Gesaffelstein ist zweifelsohne ein DJ-Name, an dem man heutzutage in jeder technogeprägten Stadt nicht mehr dran vorbei kommt. 2011 gesignt auf Tigas Kultlabel Turbo Records, hat er schon einschlägige EP's wie " Variations " oder " Conspiracy Pt.1 + 2 " veröffentlicht und mit seinem französischen Bro Brodinski ein eigenes Musiklabel mit Namen " Bromance " gegründet. Man kann also nur davon ausgehen, dass dieses Jahr noch Großes passieren wird und seine Magic Fingers noch mehr neue, einmalige Klänge produzieren. [...]
