From albums to globetrotting endeavors, tech house has never looked safer than in the capable hands of well-traveled Iron Curtain ambassador Umek . This month, his game is a second compilation for Toolroom Records , led by an early spoiler to set the tone for his welcome return to the label. In a spree of filtered digressions and sample work and his full-bodied grooves in full motion throughout, “Love To Dance” echoes the resilience that has seen the Slovenian heavyweight excel the more rhythmically refined shores of electronic [...]

Felix da Housecat is returning after a little bit of a hiatus, as he's been globe hoppin' and track makin' and he's arrived to drop the latest creations onto the world! I've taken some time in posting about it, because I knew the internet would already be abuzz with postings. But let's delve into what's up with Papa Fe, shall we?
Techno hero Umek has had a busy year so far with tracks like " Spank! ," " I Need You ," and the more recent collaboration with Uto Karem on " Eternity ." This time around, he joins forces with the acclaimed tech house duo Pleasurekraft , creating a colossal joint production "Korea." The single, out now on Umek's 1605 Music Therapy, kicks off with a set of stabbing chord sequences that unravels into a bouncy melody. The track is everything you'd expect it to be: a clash of the tech world titans that brings major peak-time heat to the ears. [...]

The post The Club - Week 43 appeared first on Noise Collective .
Tech giants Umek and Uto Karem have combined their production abilities on their new track "Eternity." With two decades of global touring and production prowess under Umek's belt and a short but sweet career of hitmaking for Karem, the fusion of their aptitudes form a promising techno dream team. The track kicks off with a timid percussive lead before swirls of synths mount to a infectious breakdown. The stretched bassline lies behind a luminous chord progression and carries the backbone of the track. Try this tune on for size - it's not everyday two titans of this caliber come together to create a [...]

![Umek – Spank [Spinnin Records]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4737864_lg.jpg)
Umek is one of the pronounced kings of dark techno and house music. His sound has influenced countless number of producers coming from all across the world, and I hit myself every day since I haven't seen him perform yet. Just wait till he comes to the United States again, I'll be there with bells on. Nonetheless, he finds a way to hold me down with each new release, making it as energetic and different as the next one. 'Spank', out on Spinnin Records, is an esoteric and atmospheric house track boasting more layers than you could [...]
Umek has turned up the intensity in the studio, serving us with top quality dance offerings of late. After blowing minds with his own " Kuzla Prevarantska " and a remix for Bontan's " The Revolution ," the tech maestro is back with "Spank." The Slovenian born producer and DJ ups the ante on his latest offering, bringing more to the table than he has on previous tech house productions. "Spank!" is house in its purest form, dance music at its finest with a riveting balance of infectious loops and anticipating hooks. Purchase: Beatport [...]
Hot off of Kraftek’s latest release is Umek’s remix of Bontan’s “The Revolution.” The track dropped this week as part of Bontan’s debut Hit It From The Back EP. While not much is known about the British producer, tech house is definitely his bag. His “The Revolution” has a driving, bouncing bassy house beat and a groovy vocal sample from Boogie Down Production’s “Exhibit F.” Umek’s remix takes the tech house a little deeper, throws in some drums and a bit more energy but still keeps the groove going. The track and the rest of [...]
Tech house and techno duo Filterheadz return to Umek's 1605 label to out "The Game" - a true dance track filled with classic tribal elements and never-ending groove. Kn own for their stellar breakdowns and infectious lead play, Filterheadz uses a vocal kick around a steady build that seems to go into an endless abyss. With the addition of flawless percussion work and gentle piano synths throughout, this marvelously layered offering is something we've come to expect out of the Belgian duo. Purchase: Beatport You just finished reading [...]
The underground had a big year in the US in 2012 and we only felt it appropriate to highlight some of these amazing artists independently from potentially bigger or more commercial artists in the dance music world today. We considered the year these artists have had in terms of production, live sets, and overall influence. We also generally picked artists we love and admire; artists we feel are extremely important to pushing electronic music forward. This list of 25 names includes legends and young guns alike, but we can assure you that every single one of these artists is incredibly [...]
Hot off the release off his latest release, "You Get Used to All The Madness," tech house magnate Umek returns with another refreshing take on his chosen genre. "Kuzla Prevarantska" represents the tech house style at it's best - simple and infectious. It's rare for a tech house track to stand out amongst the crowd, but Umek 's latest outing, with its unrelenting bass line and percussive flairs, casts a bouncy, vocal-tinged spell on your aural inputs. Listen to the full stream after the break but don't say we didn't warn you, this one will [...]
Bit of a surprise but Billy Nasty (William Nastri) has relaunched his Tortured and Electrix labels. Tortured was active in the mid-90s and released stuff from heavy duty techno artists like Billy himself, The Advent and Umek. But also released stuff from less aggressive techno people like Dave Angel and Space DJz . Quite why he's decided to resurrect the labels is not entirely clear to me. But let's have a DJ mix from Billy nonetheless. Free download. DJ Billy Nasty 11/12 Club Mix Tracklisting 01 [...]
