TURBO 070
TIGA
BEEP BEEP BEEP REMIXES

Release Date: Vinyl—Sept 14

Tracklist:
A1—Loco Dice Dub
B1—Kaine Remix
B2—Emperor Machine Dub

Beep Beep Beep. Remix Remix Remix!

On the A-side, the Loco Dice Dub is a perfect set-builder, one of his best remixes to date. Purist Loco fans might also be happy to hear that Tiga's vocal has been 99% extracted from this version, leaving behind only the echo of disco-pop in a solid, DJ-friendly groove.

Kaine's mix keeps things closer to the original, emphasizing the pop punch-lines with staccato beeps and a chunky beat. Positive vibes here from a bright young UK producer.

Finally, space-disco maestros Emperor Machine turn in another epic roller complete with a brilliant analog synth jam finale.

Great job!

BUT... the original is still the best.

Ciao!

Peanuts Club

Tracklist:

01 - Peanuts Club
02 - Cajou Club
03 - Peanuts Club (Renaissance Man pH 0 Remix)
04 - Peanuts Club (Renaissance Man pH 7 Mix)
05 - Peanuts Club (Momma's Boy Remix)
06 - Peanuts Club (BeatauCue Remix)
 
Two of Turbo's rising stars come together to make one of the biggest records of the year.
 
Peanuts Club has been arguably the hottest track of the summer for heavyweight DJs Erol Alkan, Tiga, and A-Trak. It's instantly catchy and massively effective, and we've seen it bring the best out of the crowd night after night, but you probably already know all about it.
 
The real coup here is that Cajou Club is another absolute bomb, maybe even better than Peanuts Club, and more disturbing evidence that France has produced yet another two major-league players in dance music.
 
Noob's really been hitting his stride lately, following on terrific remixes for Brodinski and D.I.M. and Tai's Lyposuct, his productions getting exponentially bigger with each release. As for Brodi, anyone that's seen him play knows he has all the makings of a star, and if he can keep putting out records this good, the sky's the limit!
 
Wanting to go beyond double-megahit and attempt quad-bomb status, we commissioned two terrific remixes from Sound Pellegrino's Renaissance Man. Noob & Brodi are in love with them, plus they're the only Finns out there to have NOT produced a record for Turbo, so it was a perfect fit. The 'Ph 0' remix on the vinyl is, incredibly, an original take on acid, it's loopy and weird, but works like magic.
 
In digital-only flavor, we have their 'Ph 7' remix, a housier take with a great muted version of the infectious Peanuts hook. This one is a hit, we just left it off the vinyl to give Peanuts Club the 45 RPM treatment it deserves. Momma's Boy aka Mikix the Cat adds a pumping afro-jack version to complete the package, and there you have it... a crazy potent release, et en plus c'est numero soixante-neuf osti!! on niaise pas a'c la puck!! ENWOUEILLEEEEELA mon homme tu vas aimer ca ce recorr'la! pas des affaires de chochottes la, dla vra' musique...
 
Love from Quebec,

Hugg & Pepp
Sweet Rosie

Tracklist:

01. Sweet Rosie (Turbo Edit)
02. Sweet Rosie (Disco Dub)
03. Sweet Rosie (Sei A Dub)
04. Sweet Rosie (Jori Hulkkonen Dub)
05. Sweet Rosie (Sei A Remix)
06. Sweet Rosie (Jori Hulkkonen Remix)

Hugg and Pepp return (again).

'Sweet Rosie' is one of the most original sounding vocal house tracks in ages. Tiga championed the first version we were sent, but he'd always mix out before the goofy guitar part, so Turbo commissioned a special edit that keeps its cool all the way to the finish line... that's why it's called the 'Turbo edit.' The Dahlbacks threw in a terrific disco dub, one thing led to another, and we figured we ought to go the distance and do a full remix package.

Veteran superproducer and perennial chart topper Sir Jori Hulkkonen does a Joriffic job, with both a vocal mix and dub; the dub being, incredibly, his 200th ever remix - another milestone for J-Z, and a perfectly timed teaser for his upcoming album on Turbo: Man From Earth, dropping October '09 in music stores and even sooner on annoying blogs near you.

Also on remix duty AND also at work on an album for Turbo is Glasgow's young prodigy Sei A. Continuing on a brilliant run starting with his album 'Editing Shadows', this is an absolutely incredible remix, and the deep dub keeps things interesting for all you vocal hating bitches.

PS It's not a girl singing, it's castrato Robert Manos.

Love from Montreal,

TVP

Roman Flügel
Stricher EP

Release Date: July 20th, 2009 (Vinyl) / August 5th, 2009 (Digital)

Tracklist:

A1: Stricher
B1: Discofiasco
B2: Prinzessin X
D: Discofiasco (Alternate Version)

We love and admire Roman Flügel's solo work, as well as everything he's done with Alter Ego and his amazing Klang imprint, so it's an honor to release these tracks on Turbo.

Premium electronics and classy arpeggios – this is bleep disco from a true master. This also marks the dawn of a new era in one-sheet writing; one marked by unimaginitive prose and lacklustre command of language. Enjoy.

Phonogenic
Bass Were The Day

Release Date: June 29th (Vinyl) / July 15th (Digital)

Tracklist:
A1: Release the Dancer
B1: Bass Were the Days

Phonogenic has put out great records on respected labels like Cocoon and 20:20 Vision. He's a dark horse producer whose Detroit & Chicago influenced sound would have blown up by now if he lived in Berlin. Too bad he's from Tampere!
I met Tuomas Salmela last October on his home turf at the not-famous Musiikki & Media conference.

Jori Hulkkonen was asked to chose some of THE movers and shakers in the world of electronic dance, and he chose me, Tuomas Von Party... partly, I suspect, because he thought there was a slim chance I would actually come. As fate would have it, I needed a late rush of air miles to reach Star Alliance Gold status for 2008, so I figured it was as good a time as any to find out once and for all if Tampere could be any lamer than Turku.

The conference was dope. All emo's and metal bands... some of the worst music I've ever heard, but sweet Finns everywhere absolutely overjoyed to see foreigners.
Jori could only stay one day, so he introduced me to Phonogenic, who had a demo CD all prepared for me. The tracks were a bit jazzy and fairy... good, but not as good as the great one he did on Cocoon. So not good enough, you see...
I begged him to take me to a hockey game, to see the Tampere 'Ilves' (best team logo ever). Tuomas overcame not only his malaise with Finnish jocks, but also his inability to drive to be a great host... at which point I knew he had to be seriously interested in a record release... I ate blood sausage and cheered for the home team. It was amazing... the highest scoring player got to wear a GOLDEN HELMET! Dammit this should have been the 'Golden Helmet EP!!'

I was the only person in the stadium with dark or curly hair. Little blonde Finns were staring.
Anyways, we kept in touch since then and finally he sent me these two excellent tracks of bassy, ballsy, bigroom tech-house... a deal was made via video-sauna and all-of-a-sudden

Turbo 066 be done... Enjoy! This onesheet is FINNISH!

Artist - Zoo Brazil & Adam Sky

Tracklist:

A1 - Circle Jerk                                          05:32
B1 - Circle Jerk (Bloody Beetroots Mix)        04:34
B2 - Circle Jerk (Milano 309 Mix)                 04:46
D1 - Circle Jerk (Jori Hulkkonen Remix)       05:15

In Thomas Von Party's words:

I know very little about Adam Sky or Zoo Brazil. I have no idea how they came together to make this track. I know that Tiga had a picture of Adam Sky up on his wall when he was a kid, that he wanted to BE him, and that Adam put his first record out 30 years ago, which dethrones Sven Väth and makes him the longest-active, still relevant producer as far as I know.*

Zoo Brazil actually made a track for Kylie. He’s also a big fan of my puppet work (see Tiga’s ‘Hot in Herre’) and he wanted me to make a music video for him but I couldn’t make mini-puppet-faces in time… oh well…

The track was given to Tiga while he was working with Jesper at Globe studios in Stockholm. Zoo Brazil’s studio was next door and he would peep in and they’d all eat lunch and discuss remixology. He gave Tiga the demo in November 2007, so at 17 months, this is officially the slowest ever Turbo release, beating out last month’s Guy J by a full 4 months.

The truth is my enthusiasm for the track hasn’t waned one bit, a testament to the raw power of a strong System 100 groove. It’s been a secret weapon that I’ve played all year. I’m happy to report that this track also gets the rare support of rising megastar PROXY… for a techno record, that’s quite an achievement.

Rejecting 6 (!) remixes slowed things down a lot, but our ruthless commitment to quality paid off in the end... Bloody Beetroots delivered an outstanding mix. I swear, I normally can’t stand ear-bleed nurave, but this is a big winner… Tiga has been playing it constantly… plus, they’re Italian so it’s all vibrazioni positivi, dai!!!

Speaking of Italy… Milano is a new pseudonym from a fellow Canadian party man. He made killer techno records a decade ago and we’re proud to present this comeback remix… No-nonsense old school techno upgraded to 2k9 audio standards… speaking of 2k9… he’s a name to watch.
