Turbo 078 : Hey Today! - Talk To Me
In Busy P's words:
A few weeks ago, we were touring Australia for Parklife. TIGA was closing our stage every night, in front of 10,000 kids ready to rumble with him, to get wrestled to the ground.
And, as usual, he throws out his secret weapon, "TALK TO ME". The crowd explodes. That’s when I ran onstage screaming, "T-Dawg, what's that sound????"
The only reply I got was a big, creepy grin... Merci!
One late night, on the narrow streets of Melbourne, TIGA and I went out for a little boogie with the Bang Gang squad. Our Aussie friends know how to look after us. We spent the night at Sorry Grandma!, the hottest club in town, drinking Rave Juice and trying to understand drunk Aussies’ sub-English accents.
I knew it was the perfect time to ask TIGA about that insane track he was playing. Ask a drunk man something and you'll get everything you need. Everything.
Turbo 079 : Jori Hulkkonen - Man From Earth Remixes
Jori Hulkkonen’s superb 2009 album Man From Earth offered nothing if not a glimpse of pure inspiration, like having a candid dinner conversation with the inventor of the cloth napkin. Now, Turbo is proud to present this stellar remix pack, which offers amazing new perspectives on tracks from the LP, revisiting the music with an athlete’s eye and ears bursting with heart.
Jesper Dahlback’s mix of “My Brother Went To Space And All I Got Was This Lousy Vacuum” evinces all the wild-guy energy of going to a rock concert with Elvis Stojko. Sei A’s versions of “Re: Last Year” are akin to getting an e-mail from the ocean with a link to undersea HTML treasure. Matt Walsh and Alex Jones reposit “Man From Earth” as the “Man From Fun”, while Guy J reimagines “I Am Dead” as a one-way lift ticket up a deeply sensual mountain.
TIGA DISCOVERS AMERICA - NEW "WHAT YOU NEED" REMIXES
Tiga’s “What You Need” is the gift that keeps on givin’ what you keep on wantin’. This second pack of remixes highlights the Canadian Charis-Man’s love of all things North American.
“This is, in essence, a return to my roots. A lot of people just assume I’m from some magical land of Europe and Marzipan. Come by Canada some time, and I’ll whip you up some of my famous Maple Leaf Salad.”
Chromeo
“For the centerpiece of this release, I decided to turn to the men who Make Montreal Make Love. I know better than anyone how difficult it can be to shoulder the burden of an entire city’s sensual well-being, and I was confident that Chromeo could capture the churning, burning yearning at the heart of every erotic everyman.”

COMPUTER JUICE / UK DIV. NEW BOMBS FROM RITON AND SEIJI. REMIX BY TAI AND D.I.M. BIG BEAT RE-IMAGINED AS LISTENABLE MUSIC.
Turbo 074 : Mike Mind - Resonate
Mike Mind’s only previous release, 'Acid Machine,' has been Tiga's most played record since it was made. A full-time Turbo employee, he’s spent the past few years getting his brain around making techno, and continues to impress us with his output. His debut EP, “Resonate”, is something of a departure for our label, and one we’re very proud of.
It's amazing to have this kind of music coming directly out of Turbo HQ; it nails a sound that we've always tried to cultivate. Minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, and with just enough analog imperfection and warmth to it.
All three of the remixers we chose represent different sounds in techno that have influenced Mike's sound.
1: Scandi Acid
Turbo 073 : Bodo Elsel - Mein Haus
Bodo Elsel has only done a handful of records and the two that I've known and loved since 1998 were put out on Playhouse, the excellent housey sister-label of mighty Klang Elektronik. One track in particular, Discount Baby, has always stood out in my mind as a high water mark in the sacred art of groove (you may have heard of it). Punchy accents and resonant bass layered with trippy vocal loops; it's dubby acid house of the highest order, made by a mysterious German Lego-master, who the A&R team of Mike Mind and Thomas St Shindig managed to coax back into activity.
It only took Bodo a year to answer Mr. Mind's email, but he eventually delivered three amazing tracks... Haustier revitalizes piano house. Mai is incredible, and Mein Haus is one of the top few all-time expressions of the greatness/meaning of Germany, putting it in the fine company of the Autobahn, Sven Väth and Christmas-Market Schwein. NICE WIBES!!
