With a decade of presenting exciting new talent behind them, Crosstown Rebels press on, signing up Belgian duo Raw District for their impressive debut on the label after a storming sophomore release on Defected sub label DFTD put them firmly on the radar. The ‘Ragged Star EP’ featuring live vocalists Ellipsis and Giorgia Angiuli is two compelling original cuts combining hypnotic, swinging grooves in the languidly deep Detroit-laced ‘Ragged Star’ and contrasting textures and tempos and ethereal voice in ‘Turn Away’. Throw in stone cold killer tech ‘Rethink’ by house music demi-god Josh Wink and you have more than enough bangers for your buck.

Vernon Bara and Massimo DaCosta aka Raw District are Homecoming Music label owners and producers that between them have released music on labels such as OM Records, AMA Rec, Robsoul, Aroma, OFF Recordings, Icon and Doubledown, and delivered remixes for the likes of Brett Johnson, Fred Everything, Style of Eye, Miguel Migs and JT Donaldson. Earlier this year they launched the Raw District project with the mission statement that “Raw District tracks will feature fewer samples and more organic influences. However, the trademark soul, funk and disco influences will still be evident, mixed up with the fresh European sounds coming from Berlin.” With more vocal collaborations in the pipeline, expect to hear more infectiously deep and characterful club sounds in the not too distant future.

Josh Wink needs little or no introduction. As the owner of long-standing benchmark label Ovum Recordings and a DJ/producer since the dawn of the 90s, Wink has helped soundtracked the clubbing life of a generation. Forming Ovum in 1994 with partner King Britt and releasing anthem ‘High State of Consciousness’ in 1995, Wink *under many different monikers) has continued with countless game changing releases, touring the globe extensively and entering the house music hall of fame as one of Philadelphia’s most prolific exports.

Stephan Hinz is back for his second release on Second State and this time he's flying solo with his Throwl EP. 

These are two massive dance floor tunes that will surely find their way into every room scenario for the foreseeable future.

For the flip side, Hinz goes peak time psychedelic with 'Ignite'. 
A big kick drum and tight hat lock the groove while a single note and pulsing pad build the tension until the main element reveals itself as just a few notes stuck in a warm, dizzying loop. As the lead intensifies, its repetition becomes increasingly hypnotic and the bass kicks back in. From here it's all eyes closed and all hands in the air.

October 2017 brings the next big release from Christian Smith, with his album project Synergy. Compiled of 12 original tracks, the album is a selection of collaborations he has produced on the road in studios in New York, Brazil, Tokyo, Germany, and Barcelona.
Tronic drip fed fans with two releases, first was Neon Jungle a groovy, vocal driven, funk inspired EP produced with house Legend Harry Romero, and the second a pummeling growler of an EP The Runner with Brazilian techno king Victor Ruiz. 
Christian brought together legends in the industry with John Selway and Harry Romero on this LP, along with current techno favorites Victor Ruiz and Wehbba, not forgetting some new stars on the rise with German artist 2pole and Drunken Kong, a duo from Tokyo taking the techno world by storm with their latest debut album released on Tronic earlier this year.
A special track to note is Jackin with John Selway. Christian and Johns bootleg Krispy Kranz taken from Laurent Garniers classic Crispy Bacon was a smash hit back in 2004, however, the duo has been collaborating together on endless projects since 2000 and have reunited especially for this trance inspired beat.
The album has something for everyone, variation is key here, with each track very different in its production and inspiration. Wehbba and Romero really bring some electro funkiness into the mix, whilst 2Pole and Victor Ruiz keep it dark with peak time, late night chugging techno. And finally, Drunken Kong deliver an industrial, minimal track throwing an unexpected but welcome addition to the 12 track innovative album.
Email Subject Christian Smith collaborates with 2pole, Drunken Kong, Harry Romero, John Selway, Victor Ruiz & Wehbba on his new album ''Synergy''.

We welcome back Italian techno team and longtime members of the SCI+TEC family, MiniCoolBoyz, for their third release on the label. Once described as the prodigies of m-nus main-man Richie Hawtin and as "future stars of electronic music" by our very own Dubfire, the boys have come a long way since their first release with the label back  in 2010. 

Mike and Raphael's exciting blend of minimal groove-laden techno and tech house continues to impress and has soundtracked one of their most successful years to date. With a seam-busting tour diary that has seen them grace many of the summers biggest festivals, a catalogue of 2012 releases for the likes of Saved, Material and Terminal M, plus the ongoing success of their very own Amazing Records imprint, life really couldn't be better for the Italian duo. Now, after their blistering summer, MiniCoolBoyz kick off their winter season and ask, "Whats Going On?".

Their vinyl cuts "What's Popping?" and "What's Going On" have been described by the boys themselves, perfectly we might add, as "minimal, weird, dark and trippy… with added energy bombs!". If the wax doesn't suit, fear not, both cuts also feature on the digital package backed by another brace of electronic questions in the form of , "What's Wrong?" and "What's Up?". More questions than a toddler on Ritalin. To discover the answers, well, just play them out…
