-----------------------------------------------

Taken From Liquid pages:

Liquid Tek Vol 1 is the latest offering from the legendary UK underground dance label, Liquid Records, and is the mutant brainchild of label DJ, Lurk. Always seeking fresh ground, and never wanting to confine themselves within one genre, the Liquid crew are constantly looking for new directions in which to take the label, whilst remaining true to their psychedelic roots. Liquid Tek Vol 1 is the first in a series of releases that aims to melt genres together and deliver quality dancefloor material to the masses. The emphasis is on unearthing the best new talent and taking the more established producers out of their comfort zone in order to keep things fresh. Vol 1 takes big bites out of techno, electro and progressive house, chews them up and spits out four chunks of groovy goodness. 

The EP rumbles into life with “Cushin’ for the Pushin’”, written by Dick Trevor with Tongue & Groove. It's a smooth, techno roller which grabs your mind’s booty and gives it a good shake, pulling you in with crisp production and a deep atmosphere. The next track is Atomic Drop's "Sneaker Freak", better known for their electro house monsters, here they're they're wearing their freaky tekhouse sneakers. They tweak it right up, using a tight percussive groove to build momentum before a glitched-out break launches you into a fully immersive final run. This brings us to the outer limits of "Slab City", written by newcomers Tongue & Groove, who evoke memories of Platypus Records in their hayday, while retaining a contemporary progressive house edge. With a bassline thats very much true to the track's name, it's guaranteed to work the dancefloor hard. Monk3y Logic are on hand to deliver the killer final blow with Sentient Stereo. Rising stars of the electro scene, their original take on the genre is taking dancefloors by storm everywhere their music is played. If tracks carried wallets, this one's would have "bad motherfucker" written across it; rinsing techno and electro together it provides the filthiest of endings to the EP.

Monk3ylogic's original track sets us up with an epic slice of their unique and distinct electro psy style, Mike Method then takes us on psychedelic breaks journey, Eastmann rips it up with his massive Electro sound and the Mighty Hedflux finishes up with a Tech-Funk monster designed to destroy any dance floor."

Monk3ylogic - Bass Effex (Eastmann Remix) [Liquid Records]

Monk3ylogic - Bass Effex  (Mike Method Remix) [Liquid Records]

Monk3ylogic - Bass Effex (Original Mix) [Liquid Records]

Up and coming Texas based producer Hunter Vaughan makes his debut on AUX with an epic, tech-breaks number. Fusing chunky, tech-funk bass with a smooth production style, this rising young American producer surely has a great future ahead of him. His latest release ‘Krakken’ (Deathproof) has already been doing the damage on the Tech-Funk scene, so expect to see plenty more from this young prodigy during 2011.

Hunter’s Epic ‘Ragnarok’ is backed up with 2 excellent remixes from 2 stars of the UK scene. The 1st remix comes courtesy of Breaks legend Beta, laying down a funky, techy cut with his trademark deep sound and up and coming Bristol outfit Monk3ylogic, who ditch their usual 4/4 style in favour of a pounding, electro breaks workout.

OUT NOW exclusively from Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/361753/Ragnarok
