Turbo
Recordings...For
most of the past 2 years, Boys Noize records have saved
my life as a DJ. Without his remixes of “Spacer Frau” and
Bloc-Party I might be unemployed. Almost every DJ I know,
from 2ManyDJs to Thomas Von Party, has at one time or other
felt the saving grace, the redemptive power of a BN record
dropped at the right time. His unique mixture of ( blah blah blah)
rave sensibility, rock edge and techno purity (??????) provides
the dancefloor equivalent of a “get
out of
jail free card”.
SO..... When I had the chance to sign
a record to Turbo, I freaked out. We sent the private jet to pick
him and his lady up and within hours we were walking through my
mountain retreat's private gardens and bird-sanctuary. We smoked
a joint. He threw a big stick and my hound chased it and brought
it back to him. It should be noted that when I was on the verge
of signing Tiesto....my hound REFUSED to bring the stick back,
thus dooming the deal. It was obvious that we were born to work
together. My dog is one of the finest A&R dogs in Canada.
The three track 12inch maxi single
you hold in your hands is the result of hours of work.
The a-side is Erole Attack, my least
favorite, but I have to admit it destroys parties. It is an homage
to a certain Mr. Erol Alkan. It’s like pub-techno, complete
with big riffs and cut up vox. The b-side features “I go
raven”.
By my calculations, when I was actually “raven” ,
BN was 9 years old. Last is the brilliant “haldern” a
deep, growing, moody electro-techno epic
which even features live “water-splashing” sounds that
were recorded at 7 different beaches on each continent.
Planet Earth.......Turbo gives you BOYS NOIZE.
Love
