A record from Berlin that I have been sitting on for a while now (it's all warped now, LOLLL!!!!!11). Skinnerbox are a German/Israeli duo whose live show is quite the thing to dance to on the banks of the Spree this year apparently. I should say that the title of this record sounds like slang for a gentleman's self-abuse . Skinnerbox - Purgatory Five / BUY photo via hello friend

Pic: Onformative via But Does It Float Kasper Bjorke - Symptoms ( buy ) Kasper Bjorke is undoubtedly one of the most consistent producers around, always on the money with his songs, raising the bar when it comes to infectious disco tinged house. Symptoms EP has some new material by Bjorke along with remixes from Mano Le Tough and Truffle Shuffle. Very good stuff out now on Hfn Music. [...]

Skinnerbox , ces Berlinois alignant des beats plus techno que jamais sortaient leur album King of Spades mi-novembre chez Doxa Records , il est l'heure de partager quelques tracks de ce bijou avec vous. Alliant techno berline axé expérimentale et sonorités jazzy King of Spades reste bien dans l'esprit de leurs précédentes productions tout en présentant clairement la maturité du duo à ce niveau. Ci-dessous deux tracks sur les neufs pistes formant l'album. Skinnerbox - 'King of Diamonds' [...]

Hey guys... You can tell it's Christmastime because the music industry essentially grinds to a hault for the month of December. It's like a musical wasteland for much of December and it kind of makes sense, your out buying your girlfriend a new Lexus, so why in the world would you want to pick up a new Bowie record. Anyway, this was supposed to be up on Friday 12/11. I obviously didn't make it, so here we are in the middle of this week and you have last week's Ten Tracks You Need err this week. [...]
The particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when Olaf Hilgenfeld (Berlin) met Iftah Gabbai (Jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. The piano player Hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst Gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance.Only one year later the duo Skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting,

Originality is one of the things I look for in the music when posting on this blog, and Skinnerbox certainly has that quality. Their sneaky and mysterious techno is unpredictable and erratic, they sway from funky disco to minimal techno, and all in one track. But the music never gets too "all over the place", it sustains its core and becomes very interesting as you go along and discover new sounds in every listen. They're like the Simian Mobile Disco of the experimentally unknown, they have that same passion for obscure and analog synths, keeping it [...]

The duo of Olaf Hilgenfeld and Iftah Gabbai is definitely not your run-of-the-mill techno, disco or jazz. So then, color me intrigued by Skinnerbox & their unusual (and efficient marriage) of disparate styles, particularly when it matches so clearly with the musical calico I'm hearing out of European electronic music lately. There's a taste of Richie Hawtin meets Mark Farina meets Lil' Louis in these songs. Do I have your attention? Under the surface, there are also tastes [...]
