[COLOR=#ffa500][B]04. Paul Stickman - Lazy B (Theme 001 EP) [SCI+TEC Digital Audio | TEC122][/B][/COLOR]
SCI+TEC are renowned for promoting new musical talent and giving a platform to many young and aspiring artists. Today though the label award a debut to a producer who is making a comeback, having stepped away from music for many years. Paul Stickman, in his own words, was lucky. Lucky to have witnessed the birth of house music in the 1980's.
"I was mesmerised as soon as i experienced it at the legendary Twilight Zone in Toronto". Already honing his DJ skills playing Hip-Hop and 'real' electro, it wasn't long before Paul was buying 4/4 and making his own beats on early drum machines. In '92 he launched Stickman Records and Aquarius Recordings and went on to release an archive of releases and remixes. Now working as a solo artist and Nick Theos as Hill Bros.
After a long absence from the scene and having rekindled his love for making beats, Paul reached out to Dubfire, who he'd known since the early days of Deep Dish, with a collection of new material… Theme 001 was born.
"I just want to make stuff I like and that I think is different sounding, raw, and take some risks. For example like no kick drum in Theme 001. Like a lot of other artist I just hope some people 'get it’.”

[COLOR=#ffa500][B]07. Gregor Tresher - Goliath [Bedrock | Beddigi59][/B][/COLOR]
Gregor Tresher kicks off 2015 looking to break new soil with his first ever full release for John Digweed's Bedrock Records. Last year was as hectic as ever for the Gregor and he came into it on high from the success of his artist album Nightcolours and having closed out 2013 by releasing an astonishing Laurent Garnier remix of the title track, on his own imprint. Time to relax a little maybe? Not a chance.
January saw the remixed version of the album hit the stores and this was backed within a few weeks by 'Taurus', Gregor's enticing collaboration with Petar Dundov. The summer saw him remix the Chymera classic 'Shadowdancer' and he closed 2014 with the superb 'Midas / Disturber' double-header.
Somewhat of a musical chameleon, Tresher is as at home creating deeper shades of house for the likes of Moon Harbour and Ovum as he is techno rhythms for Music Man, Cocoon and Systematic. With label boss Digweed a huge fan, Bedrock is yet another perfect fit for the German and he opens his account with the mighty, melodic and Kraken'esque 'Goliath' and the razor-sharp lightning bolt that is 'Stormblade'.

[COLOR=#ffa500][B]08. Tilt - 30 Hits Of Acid (King Unique Remix) [Pro-B-Tech Records | PBT029][/B][/COLOR]
Getting support from DJs across the board on this including Danny Tenaglia, Dubfire, John Digweed, Richie Hawtin, Sasha and Steve Lawler.
This is one of the standout tracks of Tilt’s ‘Resonator’ album, co-written with founding LFO member Gez Varley. Between my being asked to do the remix & getting started on it the other half of LFO, Mark Bell, died suddenly. I decided to abandon the approach I’d planned for the remix & do something that tried to capture the freedom & limitless psychedelic possibility that dance music had when it first exploded into a multiplicity of new styles in the UK, a moment captured perfectly in time by LFO ‘LFO’. This is how dance music felt to me in the summer of ‘92 lying in a Welsh field at an illegal traveller’s rave. King Unique.

One of the best albums of 2014 was undoubtedly Tilt’s ‘Resonator’. Released on Pro-B-Tech Records in early November the 10 track collection featured collaborations with Silinder, Sam Mollison, Kastis Torrau & Arnas D, Dominiqe Atkins, G-Man, Namespace and Natasha Cadman. If memory serves it made it all the way to #2 in the Beatport Progressive House chart and also earned a feature on the sites prestigious front page. The warped and druggy grooves of ’30 Hits of Acid’ was one of the albums most unique pieces. Featuring the vocals of G-Man it’s tripped out funk delighted clubbers all through the latter part of autumn and early winter seasons. Now for Pro-B-Tech’s second release of 2015 we see brand new interpretations of ’30 Hits’ from Quivver and King Unique.
John Graham aka Quivver had a great year in 2014. The Uk born but currently US based produced closed the year out with an appearance on John Digweed’s ‘Live in Toronto’ mix compilation released on Bedrock Records. The year was also highlighted by John’s ‘Finally’ single which relaunched his Boz Boz imprint that had been silent for over four years. This marks John’s second appearance on Pro-B-Tech and he’s worked his groove magic once again on ’30 Hits’. It’s one of John’s most deep and dramatic studio creations to date in fact; led by an array of clever beats, haunting vocal elements and sinister rhythms it’s an engaging production right from the start. As it’s beastly presence grows panning acid lines lead the track into the break where the sample storyboard takes over. Sure to be a magic club moment the detailed beats then thunder back in for a rousing finish that’s sure to be a delight for all the educated dance floors out there. A deep and fascinating production from Quivver.
The second and final interpretation of ’30 Hits of Acid’ is provided by Matt Thomas aka King Unique who is making his first appearance on Pro-B-Tech Records. The storied UK producer had one of the best years on record in 2014. Following a resurgence of sorts which began in late 2013 King Unique delivered the Beatport #1 ‘Some Break The Shell EP’ in April and followed that up with two incredible remixes for Bedrock; the latter of which an Xpander-esque take on Guy J’s ‘Candyland’ which dominated the Beatport techno charts all through the Christmas season. With 2015 now a month in that momentum continues to rise as just last week we were graced with Matt’s gorgeous take on Sotela & Javier Portilla ft. Emalaine ‘Your Eyes’ released courtesy of the Costa Rican imprint Moonchild Records. King Unique’s take on ’30 Hits’ is already making waves in the underground; John Digweed has been the first to lend his support and video evidence has been circulating all this week. Rough, rugged and tripped out in all the right ways I think this ranks right up there with King Unique’s most inspired work. Layers of offset beats along with a subterranean foundation make for a rib crushing groove and the alert-like stabs prove to be the ultimate hooks. Smashing interpretation from King Unique which rounds out a top notch remix EP from Pro-B-Tech Records. Do Not Miss!

[COLOR=#ffa500][B]09. Manuel Tur - Es Dub (John Daly Remix) [Freerange | FR199][/B][/COLOR]
Massive remix package alert!!
Whilst randomly flicking through his Itunes library Manuel Tur hit upon a selection of remixes that have been made of his music over the years and realized that, as well as many of them having gone criminally under the radar, many are absolutely solid gold and all of them deserve to be put together on one LP to showcase these beauties.
The artists involved reads like a who's who of underground house and techno with vintage names like Pepe Bradock, Ian Pooley and Isole´e rubbing shoulders with young upstarts like Ugly Drums and Damiano von Erckert. For those who are already
familiar with these remixes we wanted to make sure you had some brand new and exclusive music to get your teeth into so added three brilliant remixes of tracks from Manuel's latest LP Es Cub to the package which is exactly what you have here on this sampler release.
All three names need little by way of introduction, being Poker Flat honcho Steve Bug, Feel and One Track founder John Daly and Innervisions and Pets regular Aera. All three deliver their own unique take with their trademark quality and attention to the dancefloor all present and correct. Steve Bug's Remix of Ara Anam kicks off the release in classic Bug style with clipped beats, simple stabs and that warmth of production that makes everything he does work so nicely in the club.
John Daly is up next ditching his more cosmic, spaced out deep house sound for a straight up dub techno onslaught. Not your usual Freerange fare of course but when
the music is this good who cares Play loud in a smokey warehouse or not at all!
Finally, Aera gives us his spin on Agrafena, a twisted and edgy track with crazy synths and stripped back beats taking us on a turbulent magic carpet ride into the future. Or something like that.
