Still a bit tipsy and really happy: that is how ELLEN ALLIEN reports back with “Turn Of Your Mind” the title already gives away that the DJ, producer and Label Boss is all about monotony casted in sounds, the mind has left the body and is only moved by the wind of bass and rhythm.
“Hoo” and “Off” are the song titles, either fast and captivating, raw like unpolished steel. The tracks have been produced on a Roland Aira TR-8 in ELLEN ALLIENs living room – a place that is perfect for profound musical time traveling. The journey goes back to the 1990ies in Berlin, a time where she was playing as a guest and resident in the legendary Clubs like E-Werk, Planet and Tresor letting the music absorb her into Techno and Acid spheres. Both tracks stretch into epic 8 minutes of thrilling techno magic, summoning the listener to one of those “Lost In Music” moments.
This powerful EP is made for nights so filled with dancefloor euphoria that they prolong themselves into the next day wi- thout anyone noticing. Simultaneously with working on this EP the BPitch Control owner has installed a new regular club night finding a new home in a Berlin warehouse. Next to this she is touring all-around the globe sharing the driving energy of techno and acid with an international audience.

This is my track 'Midnight Train' part of my EP for Extravaganza including a remix from Nikola Gala.

Kalden Bess - Midnight Train (Original Mix) [Extravaganza]

Intec is known to many a fan of House and Techno as a scene leading label set up by the iconic Carl Cox who has been at the forefront of DJ culture since the early 90’s.

With a roster of artists including the label boss himself plus Nicole Moudaber, Jon Rundell, Marco Bailey, Carlo Lio, Cristian Varela and Dosem amongst many others of a similar calibre.

Intec welcomes back Irish born Ian O'Donovan who has featured music on labels including Drumcode, Bedrock, Connaisseur, Tronic, KMS and Planet E. Making his second release on the label, Ian who is known for his inventive and individual production style presents four original tracks on this solo release.

First up is the tribal groove of “Seeker” which fuses fast flowing percussion with a rolling bass line to create in infectious groove. Already full of energy, the frantic lead synth helps create a sense of urgency that’s instantly captivating and perfect for the dancefloor. Peak time Techno at its best this track should also appeal to fans of House who are looking for something with a little extra bite.

The second track titled "Curium" is led by the pulsating bass line and busy clap rhythm that intertwine with the rattling congas and rising chords. Get ready to put your head down and punch the air with excitement, as this potent slice of Techno will have you out of your seat and dancing round the room.

Third on the release is the deep pads and pitched toms of “99” that despite being the most laid back track on the release still packs a punch. Simple in structure, it’s a fine example of less being more, and the dramatic melody which builds into a held chord adds an extra layer of tension. Master crafted with just a touch of chic, this is Techno at its most classy.

Finishing off the release title track called “Tomahawk”. Arguably saving the best till last, its muffled chords contrast gritty textures with the overlaying glide of the lead synth. Getting more complex as it develops, the tracks epic structure has a slightly cosmic vibe, soon brought back to earth by the hard hitting and heavy percussion, which combined can only be described as peak time Techno with an emotional edge.

A seal of quality. It's the banner for a global network of friendships and creativity and - let's not forget - parties.
Made in Berlin. International. One of the most polyphonic chords ever struck by an electronic music label: Techno, Electronica, Indie, IDM, Pop, Beats, Song Writing. 
What matters is music that moves: bodies, spirits, emotions.
