This double album is a deep dive into Jazz-o-Tech carefully nurtured sound. What unites the label and its broad array of artists is a desire to fuse the traditional improvisation of jazz with the avant-garde experimentalism of techno. Over the last couple of years, it has done that to critical acclaim with a series of innovative EPs and LPs from artists all over Europe that cooked up fresh new sounds that push the boundaries of electronic and acoustic music further than ever.

For each track, we put together jazz musicians and techno producers and asked them to freely express their vision of what techno-jazz should be. Our poly-centric musical identity speaks of many possible futures in a multitude of individual dimensions, unified by an ambitious artistic effort to write a new chapter in music. The result is an innovative musical language that aims to provide a new sonic vocabulary for jazz and avant-garde electronic. We really hope you like it as much as we do!"

Finnish duo Aki Himanen and Aleksi Kinnunen kick things off just as their new album A Thing with Feathers is about to drop. Their 'Valediction' is led by melancholic trumpets and hypnotic drums, while Reeko, Katharina Ernst and Leonie Freudenberger combine to create dark, heavily percussive rhythms and eerie synths on 'Snake Spirit.' Flat Maze pairs glitchy techno with edgy piano chords and Supercore keeps up the pressure with clattering drums overlaid with a snake charmer-like sax line. After Lyder's soothing and suspensory 'Sea of Thought' with its gorgeous wind sounds and soulful vocals, techno legend Sunil Sharp remixes his collaboration with experimental label regulars TUN into a frenzied mix of free-jazz motifs and industrial rhythms.

Stanislav Tolkachev comes together with Aki Himanen & Aleksi Kinnunen for more detuned, unhinged synth madness, Bodek Janke & Studnitzky reset the mood with a calm yet menacing fusion of ambient synths, prickly rhythms and fluttering wind sounds, then Fabrizio Rat remixes his work with Bada-Bada into a pounding techno groove with mysterious jazz melodies. A Dinamite remix brings textured broken beat techno to the fore, Morgen Wurde & Tis keep it deeply dark and atmospheric on their cut with Tetsuroh Konishi and Sliver Galaxy then races off into the cosmos on high energy and uplifting jazz-techno rhythm. Finally, Bada-Bada releases the tension with a celebratory sound before Key Clef and Luigi Ranghino's 'Piano Movimento 2' closes down in gorgeous neo-classical fashion.

This collection once again proves that jazz and techno belong together as it takes you on a rollercoaster ride through many fascinating fusions.

The album is produced by himself and mixed by audio engineer Jean-Pierre Kerkhofs from Artsound Studio (Belgium). Prior to that EP he released the gloomy lockdown-EP The Man With The Golden Tie (2021) and the full album 'It's Hot! It's Hot! It's Hot'. (2012)

Sigmaman  has always been admired for his audacity and humour: musically, lyrically and visually.

Lover of persuasive soundscapes and futurism.

TUN, AKA “Torino Unlimited Noise”, is a powerhouse featuring some of the most exciting jazz musicians from Italy, that are pushing the boundaries of the genre by fusing techno beats with jazz, creating a fresh and unique new sound: Gianni Denitto (sax), Fabio Giachino (synth) and Mattia Barbieri (drums). 
 
Italian collective Torino Unlimited Noise is at the forefront of a new sound,
drawing on the history of jazz and futurism of techno to cook up brand new
sounds that are challenging yet compelling.

Torino Unlimited Noises could really be one of the most emerging and stimulating realities of the
coming years in regards to the concept of live hybrid between jazz and
dancefloor”

The relationship between jazz and techno is still to be explored, the real leap
forward can come from those with a solid jazz background as an
instrumentalist. This thing is not lacking in TUN, on the contrary, they are
three dragons and they are part of that new generation of jazz musicians who
look at electronics not only as one would do with a curious rare beast at the
safari zoo but, instead, look at it much more "from the inside”, living it.
