Sascha Funke - MZ (Remixes)
Stream & Buy - https://turborec.lnk.to/MZ-Remixes

While some guys will tell you now it’s all computers, at Turbo we know in our hearts that everything in life can be understood as a funhouse mirror. Sascha Funke’s massive 2017 hit “MZ” is one of the most iconic house records ever released on our label, and thus deserving of the ultimate honour: a remix pack reflecting each of the manifold facets of a modern dancefloor classic from the most prestigious and respected angles imaginable.

As studious Turbo watchers have no doubt clocked*, we have paid access to the halls of European power, where you get to make backroom deals with Emmanuel Macron and British Seinfeld as Opus’ “Live is Life” blares over a gigantic bluetooth speaker. And, yeah, you’ll probably run into the most celebrated European producers of our time. Pional, Axel Boman, Mano Le Tough, and Roman Flügel — these are the kinds of names you only see once you’ve reached the highest levels of success, be it in dance music production or purchasing the hottest tickets in town on your favorite mobile device. We called each on these titans to anoint “MZ” into the modern pantheon of club anthems, and you can bet your last eurobond that they delivered. But we also wanted some new blood, so we turned to rising Lithuanian superstar DJ JM. JM is now a deep part of the Turbo family, and he’s made the theoretical space between bad-boy cousin and beloved nephew fully his own with what we hope Rolling Stone Magazine will call “a distinctively modern edge."

*Clocking is a cool way of noticing things. Try it sometime!

Sascha Funke - MZ (Axel Boman Remix)

Pre-order: https://airtexture.bandcamp.com/album/hardwired-curated-by-jakojako

Berlin-based @JakoJako releases collaboration with @https://soundcloud.com/ame on @AirTexture's latest compilation 'Hardwired', curated by JakoJako herself, available July 11.

"Hardwired" draws its conceptual foundation from synthesizer terminology. As JakoJako explains: "A hardwired synth has connections already soldered into the machine—it comes with certain functions without needing to patch cables externally. As a hardware producer, I feel whenever I meet someone who creates music as I do, we have this immediate connection, like a hardwired synthesizer. There's no need for small talk—we can speak about gear."

Premiere: Frank Wiedemann & JakoJako 'Acknowledgement'

While some industry voices claim it's all computers now, Turbo Recordings maintain that everything in life can be understood as a "funhouse mirror"

Sascha Funke's "MZ" was a massive record for both Funke, Turbo and us come to think of it, all the way back in 2017. A classic, you might call it!  So much so that it's been given the re-rub treatment from a veritable smorgasbord of left-of-centre royalty including 

"We have paid access to the halls of European power, where you get to make backroom deals with Emmanuel Macron and British Seinfeld as Opus’ “Live is Life” blares over a gigantic bluetooth speaker. And, yeah, you’ll probably run into the most celebrated European producers of our time. Pional, Axel Boman, Mano Le Tough, and Roman Flügel — these are the kinds of names you only see once you’ve reached the highest levels of success, be it in dance music production or purchasing the hottest tickets in town on your favorite mobile device." says Turbo

We're premiering the mighty Flügel remix. The master keeps the roller style but just a bit more pumped. Does exactly what it needs to when you're dealing with this level of royalty; creating something altogether new, whilst maintaining the essence of the source.

Select Cuts 350: Ali Schwarz

Buy/stream: https://kompakt.fm/releases/hack_the_system_feat_futuradora

Renowned for her genre-blending approach and sharp production skills, Brazilian-Austrian artist Joyce Muniz returns to Kompakt with her powerful new single, “Hack The System.” This track marks a bold artistic statement that goes beyond the dancefloor, merging infectious electronic rhythms with a deeper socio-political message.

Featuring vocals by Futuradora, “Hack The System” is a call to awareness—an urgent and rhythmic critique of structural inequalities and digital surveillance culture. With pulsing basslines and hypnotic synth work, Muniz crafts a track that is as politically charged as it is club-ready.

This is Muniz’s second release on Kompakt, following the critically acclaimed “Beats & Lines” with Sara Bluma. Where that track explored personal connection, “Hack The System” speaks to a collective resistance and the need for systemic change, aligning with Muniz’s roots in underground culture and activism.

“Hack The System” will be available via Kompakt’s digital platforms and streaming services.

COMING 12th September: 10" Vinyl - DJ Koze & Dirk von Lowtzow - Nur um Liebe EP 
PRE-ORDER HERE: https://album.link/NurUmLiebeEP
------------
DE: Es lag schon in der Luft, viele hatten es befürchtet, nun ist es wahr geworden:
DJ Koze und Dirk von Lowtzow haben gemeinsam eine Single aufgenommen.
Die beiden kennen und bewundern sich schon dermaßen lange, dass man in eingeweihten Kreisen schon von Liebe spricht. Folgerichtig heißt das gemeinsame Lied auch: „Nur um Liebe“.

Da, frei nach Oskar Wilde, nur der Treulose die Tragödien der Liebe kennt, ist das Lied allerdings weit entfernt von Friede, Freude und Eierkuchen. Zum ekstatisch pulsierenden Beat durchleben wir die Geschichte der An- und Abstoßung eines Paares voller Leidenschaft und Zärtlichkeit.

Ein musikalisches Mikrolebensdrama!
Ein wilder Ritt durch das Gestrüpp!
Ein dunkler Sommerhit!
Taucht ein in diese dunkelbunte Welt, lasst euch von Kosi und Dirky verführen. Und denkt daran: „Am Ende ging es immer nur um Liebe“.
------------
EN: It had long been in the air, many had feared it, and now it's come true:
DJ Koze and Dirk von Lowtzow have recorded a single together.
The two have known and admired each other for so long that, in certain circles, people are already speaking of love. Fittingly, their song is called: “Nur um Liebe” ("Only About Love").

But, as Oscar Wilde once said, only the unfaithful know the tragedies of love—so this track is far from peace, joy, and sunshine. Set to an ecstatically pulsing beat, we witness the story of a couple drawn together and pushed apart, full of passion and tenderness.

A miniature musical life drama!
A wild ride through the undergrowth!
A dark summer hit!
Dive into this darkly colorful world—let Kosi and Dirky seduce you.
And remember: "In the end, it was always only about love."
------------
