Skov Bowden

>>> BEATPORT: https://bit.ly/KDRAW065 <<< 

Belgium infused techno coming straight from the fingertips of the talented Skov Bowden. 

Detroit flavoured chord stabs provide the basis, but Skov combines this with a pulsating and pushing groove that will fit into your sets at any moment. 

Enchilada looks for more industrial terrain. Metallic and distorted modulated leads will take you by surprise and push you to the limits of the sonic spectrum. 

Fusebox is a grooving stronghold that is ready to detonate at any given moment. All three tracks are strong, loud and RAW!

Misstress Barbara is an Italian artist living in Canada who is revisiting a classic techno track from her back catalogue, and along with her 2023 Rework, there are also new remixes by Coyu, Christian Smith, Paul Nazca and Stef Mendesidis.

"Effet Karma" was originally released in 2001 via Misstress Barbara's defunct record label Relentless, which is an imprint that evolved into her current record label Iturnem.

Those with a knowledge of techno's history will need little introduction to Misstress Barbara, who in the early '00s was one of the world's first female superstar DJs, consistently voted inside of DJ Mag's Top 100 poll. Two decades later, Misstress Barbara remains one of electronic music's most respected artists, and she boasts releases on labels ranging from Carl Cox's Intec to Christian Smith's Tronic.

On remix duty, Coyu is a Spanish artist who heads up the Suara record label that's a driving force in today's techno scene, and he has featured regularly on his prestigious imprint.

Christian Smith is another iconic veteran of the global techno scene, and he features a slamming remix in the style the Swedish artist has released via other imprints ranging from Adam Beyer's Drumcode to Alan Fitzpatrick's We Are The Brave.

Paul Nazca is a French artist who has previously collaborated on music with Misstress Barbara, and he provides a remix in the style he has featured on imprints such as Marco Bailey's MB Elektronics and Markantonio's AnalyticTrail.

Stef Mendesidis completes the package in the hypnotic style the Greek producer has released via labels such as Ben Klock's Klockwork and Cleric's Clergy.

Misstress Barbara's 2023 version of Effet Karma adds a beefed-up kick drum and thrashing ride cymbals to create a modernised version with vigorous energy. Coyu's remix of Effet Karma is a hardgroove version with flowing percussion. Christian Smith strips out the original's percussion to make room for Detroit-style stabs that complement the vocal sample. Paul Nazca works in a hypnotic lead synth, and Stef Mendesidis delivers a dystopian version with immersive atmosphere and weighty percussion. The original mix fuses looped tribal percussion with a French vocal sample that has seductive tones.

Skov Bowden - Squad (Gene Richards Jr Remix)

Misstress Barbara is back on her record label Iturnem Music with a timeless techno EP that features three of her hard-hitting tracks.

Hailing from Italy, but currently living in Canada, Misstress Barbara is an iconic techno artist, and one of the first female superstar DJs. In the late ‘90s and early ‘00s she was consistantly voted inside DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs, and decades later Misstress Barbara still plays headline shows all over the world.

Iturnem Music is her classic record label that Misstress Barbara recently reinvigorated to become the main outlet for her own productions, but she has also released music via other prestigious outlets ranging from Carl Cox’s Intec to Christian Smith’s Tronic.

She chose her DJ name due to being a perfectionist who is constantly looking to improve and refine herself. Hence the combination of “Miss” and “stress” used to create a satirical surname which reflects the fact she is always stressing about her music.

“Your Mouth On Me” is a percussive track with dramatic synth stabs and a menacing bassline that underpins the high-energy groove.

‘Just the Night’, that was the title of an interview with Cristian Varela by the British outlet 15 Questions. There are very good reasons, of course, the history of electronic and techno music holds a special place for this  pivotal ‘Madrileño’ artist who has played a crucial role in building the Spanish industry as we know it today. One where the new generations have entered too. 
	
Master and servant for the cause. Cristian Varela has a very busy schedule that takes him all over the world. For those who are patient, you should be able to catch this awarded artist in your home city or country. For those who need a more regular dose of his music selections, you can catch his weekly radio show at Bloop London Radio and all his shows that’s syndicated in Europe, USA, South America and Asia via more than 100 specialised techno stations in more than 50 countries.

Pioneering techno producer with his own weapons. Cristian Varela has run since 2003 one of his most esteemed projects: Black Codes Experiments imprint. As it could not be otherwise, the label forged itself a firm reputation as one of the most prestigious, forward-thinking brands on the international electronic music circuit. Futuristic, enthusiastic and with a constant target of forming a strong alliance by keeping people dancing in unity to the electronic sounds and beats.

Well as an entrenched and highly respected producer, or as an immensely reliable DJ (his 6-Six Vinyl shows are just stunning as unique and the best way to join wires between past-present-future), Cristian Varela continues bouncily his expansion.
