There are few Djz and producers in the modern techno world who can truly claim to have pioneered a style and sound, and call it their own. Such statements are often declared, but rarely justified. In the case of Ben Long and Jamie Bissmire, the names behind the revered Space DJz this claim would be unarguable.

Ever since the pair's formation in the early 1900's their unerring ability to fuse raucous techno with their life long love of Hip Hop, has set them aside from there peers. In the present day, an abundance of UK techno producer's have emerged, none would deny The Space Djz are true innovators. In 1995 the duo released their debut Ep Space DJz on the legendary and now defunked Infonet imprint, quickly followed up by an outing on the Belgium label Reload These two projects put them on the techno map but the real turning point arrived in early 1996 on Infonet with the release of the ..Return to earth', Ep, containing the techno anthems ..Side on', and ..Rock the house'.Both trakz would blow up to be huge and be re-released via Frankfurt based Ongaku .The combined output of both releases was over 10,000 copies and along side Dave Clarks Red 1 these were two of the biggest tunez of the year and are still much sought after and played to this day. The Djz became prize catches for major playerz Nova Mute and Soma contributing several more classic releases, culminating in 1999's critically acclaimed album ..On Patrol`. The album expressed Ben and Jamie's roots perfectly, combining their now infamous hip hop influences with their unique brand of analog techno and chaotic electronic soundscapes.

Later that year The Space Djz delivered a trak that was to become one of their biggest hitz to date AK 47 a trak that had originally been heard on a Nova Mute Compilaton was reworked and served to capture the period's riotus spirit of techno. Listening to that record, one would imagine was like being attacked with a chainsaw buy an electronic chicken, simply brutal. It was released as a double pack on Ben Long's highly regarded Potential Recordingz and featured remixes by many of techno's biggest namez including Umek, The Advent, Gaetano Parisio, Oliver Ho, Inigo Kennedy, Chris McCormack.

During 2001 Ben and Jamie also able to concentrate on their solo projects working with labels such as Consumer Recreation, CLR, Primate, PrimeEvil, Tortured, Advanced, Eukatech, Speilzeug, and the running of their own labelz Potential Recordingz, Ergonomix, ReRub , 50hz, Ground, Foundation and Target. Jamie also released a Bandulu album Redemption with Music Man. 2002 saw the welcome return of The Space Djz on Blly Nasty's Tortured imprint with the Faces of Pain double pack, their first release together in almost two years, and a double mix Cd was released on Primal Rythms entitled The Last Djz on Earth.They were back and they were better then ever.

During this time, and indeed long before, The Space Djz have been renowned the world over for their breathtaking skillz behind the deckz. Whether working as a team or individually, Ben and Jamie consistently deliver astounding performances .. Dj' ing to them is an art, and with over ten yearz on the world Dj circuit they have the knowledge and experience to rock any party right

Chris Liebing is DJ, producer, radio host of a weekly show and the driving force behind the labels CLR and Spinclub Recordings. His sound has continuously evolved during his dj career, always true to his Techno roots. He was one of the first djs that used the new possibilities in the course of the digitalization of music in a consequent and creative way. The real-time manipulation of the individual elements plays an important role in his sets. Due to the good co-operation with various software and hardware makers, his current setup offers him practically endless possibilities. He is a worldwide requested dj and also part of the Collabs live act, together with the Dutch producer Speedy J. His productions and remixes appear in the play lists of numerous renowned djs. Hereafter some milestones in his career: 
It all started 1990 in the area of Giessen / Germany when he was mainly playing Hip Hop, Soul, Pop and House. His growing passion for electronic music caused the opening of his own club named Spinclub in 1994. At this time he also gathered his first studio experiences and founded the label Soap Records alongside with friends. A job at Eye Q Records in Frankfurt provided him with useful experiences and contacts in the Techno scene. When he was called to fill in for a friend at the legendary Omen club, he received enthusiastic reactions from the crowd. From this day until the closing of the club in 1998, he used to play there on a regular basis together with many international djs. 

In 1996 Chris left Eye Q and founded his first label called Audio. Before the label´s closure in spring 1999, they released 17 tracks, amongst them his productions Audio 07 and Audio 11, which received worldwide recognition. At the same time Chris developed a new passion by presenting his first radio show Evosonic Update which supplied the party crowd every Friday afternoon with party tips and vinyl critics on the radio station Evosonic. In 1999 his well-established label CLR was founded. This was the time when he also started to receive top rankings in various categories of the reader polls of the popular music magazines, amongst them “best national dj”, “best remixer” and “best producer” on a regular basis. 

In the beginning of 2001 he founded the pure remix label “CLRetry” and released mixes by producers like Marco Carola, Gaetano Parisio, Adam Beyer, Steve Rachmad, Speedy J., Chris Mc Cormack, DJ Rush, Ian J. Richardson and Ben Sims. In 2002 he started to work on his first artist album and the CLR website www.cl-rec.com went online. From then on the CLR office took care of his exclusive booking and the labels. When his album “Evolution“ was released by the middle of 2003 it received massive media attention and enthusiastic critics. 

This summer many things started moving, for example on Ibiza. After playing for the first four Cocoon Ibiza residencies, this year Chris played for Carl Cox. In the following years 2004 and 2005 he co-hosted Mauro Picotto´s Meganite at Privilege.

The Anxious are Mark Anxious and Chrissi Blackout, who have been producing under this name since 1998. Their sound is characteristically dark and uncompromising, with a musical message that many have imitated, but failed to deliver. They burst onto the techno scene with a series of punishing releases on some of the worlds top electronic labels of the time, as well as their own Blackout Audio imprint.

Classic’s such as ‘Beginning Of The End’ and ‘Visions Of A Motion’ on Planet Rhythm and Compound, soon meant that these two soon caught the attention of many of the leading techno jocks such as Dave Clarke, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin and of course Joey Beltram.

Their music defined the sound of techno music at the turn of the millenium, leading to countless demands worldwide for them to produce a live experience to match their breath-taking release schedule. In 2005 they performed a ground breaking live appearance at the leading global techno event, the legendary Circuito in Sao Paulo Brazil, the recording of which is still talked about today.

As a one-off Xmas special, the Blackout Audio Radio Show presents a recording from their live PA in Brazil.

Ian Lehman is one of the hottest emerging techno producers from the United States. In 2001, he formed Abiotic Recordings with long-time friend Dustin Zahn. He quickly moved on to release multiple solo records on a plethora of labels such as Drumworks, Compound, Blueline, Hidden Agenda and more. Together with Dustin Zahn he's also formed 1/2 of The Attack People, whose releases span across labels such as Abiotic and Mankind. Many producers these days do not have a distinguishable sound, but this isn't the case for Ian Lehman. His tracks are linear, dark, and heavily textured DJ tools written exclusively for techno's most daring DJs.

Owner of techno labels Proper NYC and 212 productions, Steve began his musical life as a drummer at the age of 10 and in the late 80's was playing drums and programming with the Chicago Wax Trax! band Sister Machine Gun. After a stint with them he realized that pure electronic music had far more potential to me than the confines of being a back-up musician and he began composing minimalistic but hard electronic tracks on a small cassette 4 track recorder with a simple analog set-up on the floor of his apartment on 18th Street. Steve's first solo record 'Datacloud' was released on Richie Hawtin's Probe label in 1993 and things just snowballed from there. 

'I recorded for many other labels including Novamute, Profile, Fax, Djax, Musicman and Synewave to name a few but my proudest moment was when I started my own label Proper NYC and became my own boss. Early on I had always wanted to be different, not be just another DJ, so instead of spinning vinyl I performed live PA's bringing my studio on tour and improvising new sets every night. I truly felt like things could blow up every time i took the stage (and they did sometimes!) but looking back this added very much excitement to the performances (at least for me :-)'

Steve had the pleasure of playing for crowds all over the world from Europe to Asia at some of the biggest clubs and festivals including I Love Techno, Fuse, Omen, Cocoon, Tresor, Mayday, Love Parade, 10 Days of Techno, Mt. Fuji to name a few. Several years ago he got the chance to create a project together with my hero Patrick Codenys from Front 242 under the guise 'Gaiden'. He has also worked on projects together with Ken Ishii, Damon Wild, Pete Namlook and remixed the likes of Gary Numan, DJ Rush, Hardfloor, to name a few. 

'These days I still produce albeit a slower output than the glory days of techno. I also produce sample libraries for Big Fish Audio (my 'Locked Groove' project was selected as a top 10 by Future Music Magazine). I am interested in anything that expands the theory and execution of electronic music and media. I love circuit bending as much as I love analog synthesis.'

Influenced by a range of boundary-pushing artists from Aphex Twin through to Jeff Mills, Martyn’s sound is a unique hybrid. Unrestrained by allegiance to any one particular path of production, his style simply refuses to be pigeonholed. This genre-splicing, eclectic blend is carried over into his DJ sets, in which he carefully combines the subtly soulful with the downright dirty to produce the volatile chemical reaction of a truly banging hard funk mix!

While living in Leeds, UK, Martyn promoted and was resident of 'Audio Science', an uncompromising underground dance night that was repeatedly torn up by explosive sets from some of the leading names in techno. It was through these nights that he grabbed the attention of a number of labels, including Glen Wilson and Mike Humphries' Punish, and later Ben Long’s Potential Recordingz. It was Martyn’s first two releases on Potential that earned him worldwide respect, scoring a “Top 5 Tunes of the Moment” review in Ministry magazine and numerous plays on international radio.

With major releases on Tronic and Recycled Loops as well as managing and producing for his own labels Tremors and Emetic, numerous sessions for BBC Radio 1 have followed, plus a two month reign with the top voted mix on dj-sets.com. Now DJing and performing his Emetic_Live and Classics_Live sets across the world, Martyn Hare isdefinitely one of dance music's rising stars.

Born in the 1970s in southwest Detroit, he grew up in the Hispanic district heavily influenced by his cultural latin rhythms and percussion. Encouraged from an early age by his musician father, he pursued his own interest in music and became well known and respected within the community. It was later when he heard Jeff Mills as "The Wizard" that he discovered the innovative sounds of Techno. Through a mutual friend he was introduced to "Mad" Mike Banks and promptly became a member of the enigmatic Underground Resistance crew.

Soon his first opportunity came to cross the Atlantic and his speedy proficiency on the turntables wowed audiences worldwide earning him respect and notoriety within the industry as a whole. 'Knights of The Jaguar' although not Rolando's first release on UR turned perceptions of Techno on their head, breaking into other genres of dance music and becoming a classic in the boxes of DJs such as Tenaglia, Morillo, Oakenfold and Gilles Peterson. With the ensuing battle against corporate goliath's Sony - the battle was morally won by sheer determination of the small independent label and the steadfast support of fans worlwide. 

In more recent times, he and Gerald Mitchell created the label 'Los Hermanos' ('The Brothers' in Spanish) - the sound continuing on the themes and tones set in place by his own "Knights of The Jaguar". 

As of January 2005, citing creative differences and a chance to progress, Rolando left both Underground Resistance and the Los Hermanos project.

Press Release

Blackout Audio’s new sub-division ‘Blackout Audio Remastered’ continues with this, the second release from its awe-inspiring and highly acclaimed twelve-year back catalog. This time Sweden’s Hardcell steps up to the stage, who is no stranger to producing quality electronic music, having had releases on labels such as Adam Beyer’s Drumcode, Marco Corola’s Zenit and Chris Liebing’s CLR imprint to name but a few.

Originally released in 2000, Hardcell’s mix is dark and heavy; with a pace and drive that fitted perfectly on the main European floors of the time. This was played from DJ’s across the techno community with the key here being the subtle changes in locked groove, that magnified ten-fold through a pounding club system. This was nothing short of relentless back then and is still so today. 

Active Disorder delivers the second mix – again locked in a groove but with even more percussion changes firing from several different angles. Finally, Mark EG and Chrissi give us ‘Colony Investigator’ – a track that found favour with artists such as UMEK and Valentino Kanzyani due to it’s unmistakable tribal influence.

Unmissable.

Press Release

The Anxious return for their first solo release on their own label Blackout Audio for ten years. After a succession of sell-out live shows over that period, carefully selected experiments will now be released ahead of their forthcoming album ‘Retrospect 2007-2017’. ‘Spirit Of Dementia’ is a unique and uncompromising dancefloor classic, using driving percussion alongside dark vocal snippets to entice its audience into a hypnotic state. ‘Distant Reality’ shivers with deep, trademark sequences and evolving mechanics. Both tracks demonstrate just how unique their sound has become. 

‘Spirit Of Dementia’ will also be accompanied by a video from their live set. Join The Anxious Official on Facebook for more information. 

Distribution via Triple Vision (www.triplevision.nl): Beatport, Juno, ITunes and more.

Tracks

02 – Kuei

Press Release

If you understand techno music, you will know of The Anxious. Their works shaped the mechanical techno sound of the millennium - brutal music that is respected throughout all corners of the true techno movement. They run the Blackout Audio label, that has seen releases from Inigo Kennedy, Ben Long, Patrik Skoog, Chris McCormack, Andreas Kraemer and more. This new release from them takes a deeper approach to their signature sound, stripping their music down to a melancholy, desolate feel rather than their earlier fast paced material. This is still as brutal, but deeper – tight percussion that feeds into your head; sounds that both shock and disturb; a story of The Anxious that needs to be told. 

The video of ‘Wolf’ on the Blackout Audio YouTube Channel is savage and contains graphic images. Viewer discretion advised.

Established in September 2000, Blackout Audio is one of the worlds leading techno record labels. Owned by The Anxious aka Mark Anxious and Chrissi Blackout (Chrissi Whizz) the first stage in their development saw a barrage of vinyl releases from the biggest names in the techno world at the time - Chris McCormack, Patrik Skoog, Glenn Wilson, Inigo Kennedy, Hardcell, Robert Natus, DJ Ogi and The Space DJz, as well as The Anxious themselves. 

Thousands flocked to the Blackout Audio website and became part of their Underground Network – a web forum for like-minded individuals that allows regular contributors to share their knowledge with anyone and everyone who wants to be a part of the community. It is still going to this day.

In 2005 Blackout Audio began to produce its own radio show, which took over from Carl Cox on Moscow’s Megapolis FM and was also aired nationally in the Ukraine on Star FM. It’s still presented by Mark Anxious aka Mark EG and guests have included Kevin Saunderson, Cari Lekebusch, Chris Liebing, Joris Voorn, Mistress Barbara, Steve Stoll, Neil Landstrumm and many other legendary techno names. All the shows and up-to-date feeds are available via the Blackout Audio website.

2011 saw the label start to focus on the digital side of music – starting with their subdivision Blackout Audio Remastered, which takes all their classic vinyl releases and brushes them up for the digital world. A powerhouse of innovative and new releases have since been uncovered. 

The gears have been notched up. Watch this space.
