Coming off the back of his well-received Devil's Advocate and Live albums and recent remixes for DJ Hell and Terence Fixmer, Dave Clarke is on blistering form with this sequel to 2001's opening salvo of World Service. As with the original World Service, which sold over 70,000 copies across the globe, Clarke raises the bar for techno and electro DJs everywhere. Completely mixed on his beloved Technics DZ 1200 CD decks, World Service 2 is chopped, scratched and cut up with devastating hip hop-influenced panache. Clarke is at the top of his game. Wowing crowds internationally, from 25,000 ravers in Brazil to ever-welcoming fans packing Belgium's FUSE Club, his knowledge of cutting edge music remains honed and tight, his attitude as invigoratingly enthused as ever.
Techno and electro isn't just dance music,'he says, It's a challenging alternative to all the music that bleeds kids dry and doesn't progress anything, the music I call opium music. I don't want my albums to be racked in shops next to all that ' I've got absolutely no respect for it whatsoever; I want to be the alternative.'
On these two CDs he lives up to such fighting talk. The Electro mix starts out twisting through tracks by his old International Deejay Gigolo muckers David Caretta and the Hacker before diving into tough British grit represented by the likes of Chris McCormack and The Advent from Billy Nasty's Electrix label. Naturally there s the requisite dose of sleazing on board right from the very start when Kim Peers requires a motherlode of lovin', as does June⤦ on Fast Food Messiahs. Clarke also throws in a surprises which hark back to his post-punk roots on tracks such as GDX's version of 'This Corrosion' (originally by iconic goth band the Sisters Of Mercy), or the closing punk-funk of New Yorkers Silicone Soul asking a question relevant to many who ve taken to the dancefloor as Clarke performs a peak-time DJ set''Who Needs Sleep Tonight?'
Clarke's take on techno is no less refreshing. Over 26 tracks he journeys through a huge variety of styles, embracing the dark humour of Detroit's booty-tek but never losing sight of a thread of crunching four-to-the-floor dynamism. The pace seldom lets up from the opening demands by Underground Resistance's Mad Mike Banks to'find your strength in the sound and make your transition'to the echoing outer space robot fade-out of AJ McGhee's 'Octapie' at the CD's close. Along the way DJ Rush asks us to '⤦ Me All Night Long', DJ Funk wants you to 'Put Yo Back N 2 It'and there's even a track from 1980 by Japanese electronic legend Ryuchi Sakamoto. The majority of techno DJs have an unbridled passion for it,'says Clarke by way of explanation, and they also have technical skills that are way above other genre DJs.His underground techno selection throbs with restless adrenalin, not concerned with titles or individual artists, it does what techno does bestgives computer music a raw funk and contagious punch that hauls listeners and dancers in.
'If I don't do this','says Dave Clarke of his music and DJing,'I can't even judge myself as a human being'it's in my blood and bones.'

December 26th 2004 the second biggest seaquake in the history of mankind caused a devasting catastrophe in the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile all facts and details are known and maybe most of you felt the same when briefly before new years eve the shocking pictures appeared on TV from which you couldn't elude, although the extend of the catastrophe wasn't fully obvious at that time.

"On December 27th, 2004 Jay Haze picked up the phone to call an array of German and international artists and spontaneously the idea of this non-profit aid compilation was born".

Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Jay Haze, Wighnomy Bros, Hendrik Schwarz, Freestyle man, André Galluzzi, Guido Schneider, Luciano, Märtini Brös, Ellen Alien, Dirt Crew, Daniel Bell, Sascha Funke, Steve Bug and Swayzak all contributed a new and unreleased tracks without any commission - the same did the Berlin based manufacturer Handle With Care, the Hamburg based distributor Word And Sound and the PR office Superstition Network Promotions. All income from the compilation will be donated to on orphanage in Indonesia. This way the money will not be subject to bureaucracy and go directly to helping children.

"On this unmixed compilation you can find some beautiful sophisticated minimal stuff".

The following tracks caught my attention: Hendrix Schwarz & Freestyle man with a track entitled Jena, containing deep twinkling atmosphere done with piano, given some extra flow with the bass line. Finished off with great delays and reverbs. Luciano - Hijos del Kaos: Soft kicks, tide drums sections, and a very warm intense bass line. Märtini Brös - Laboratory: He has been giving it a bit more funk with this electro stylish groovy bass line. The hypnotic synths in the background are making it complete. Dirt Crew - Let's Get It Done: the bassline has got the funk and the groove. Sascha Funke - Tears On My Pillow: Minimal Detroit influenced house. Classic drums, and melancolic strings.

This great initiative of Jay Haze will not only benefit musical collection, it will fully support the victims of the tsunami.

BACK FOR BASICS is coming and it doesnt disappoin- it´s a real album! John Tejada and Arian Leviste´s first full lengh Collaboration since their remarkable “Fairfax Sake” on german Playhouse in 2003 and maybe altogether their best production to date. The 10 tracks of the CD (8 brand new plus the Recently Released “Psycho Happiness” and “Ghetto Platipus"/Palette 32) flow together like one piece and come on like a highly needed techno lanndmark in the “consesous” retro electro times of 2005. Just check how the nervous feel of “Patterns” gloriously blends with the warm liquidy electronic bliss of “From Empty Words” and back to the energetic “Triad Jack” - sensible intense and tempting for more! Tejada and Leviste’s advanced production technique makes a sound you’ll be hard put to name, right in the sweet spot between house and techno, breaks and 808s, plucked strings and patch cables, edits and immediacy. It’s sunlight and silicon; it’s a breath of fresh air. “I think it’s a pretty strong statement and different to all the things going on. It’s not glitch techno, it’s not 80’s synth crap. it doesn’t sound so many things do these days. we were sort of trying to go for the feeling of the first time you heard “chime” (Orbital) or something like that. going back to what made us feel that way. a timeless sort of thing in the current age of trends.” John Tejada
