boga Records presents another tasty teaser for the upcoming album from the Swedish duo TICON - this time accompanied by a solid remix from the new stars of UK techno, SPEKTRE.

The title of the single is "The Programmer", and fans of Ticon's hits from their last two albums will feel right at home with the 80's inspired leads and catchy vocal-hooks. The rhythm is laidback, groovy, positive and unmistakably Ticon. A sure hit for both beach-sessions under the clear blue sky, as well as for the clubs.

On remix-duty is no other than Spektre - the UK duo who have had a remarkable 2010 with releases on a string of top labels - from Tiger, 1605, Tribal Vision Records and Audio Therapy to the release of their album on their own imprint Respekt Recordings.

Calling their remix of "The Programmer" stripped down and dirty would be an understatement. The deep, pulsating rhythm has their trademark-sound, while the addition of the choir-like theme from the Ticon's original in the main breakdown results in a very memorable moment for the peak time techno floors. One word: massive!

After beginning life as an experimental side-project for members Paul Maddox and Rich Wakley, Spektre find themselves over a decade later as established and respected features of the Techno landscape.  As a production outfit, they have recently released on such imprints as Elevate, Phobiq and Unrilis, as well as their own Respekt Recordings (now approaching it’s 150th release) to the acclaim of their peers, with the likes of Adam Beyer, Carl Cox and Alan Fitzpatrick among their plaudits. As their near-permanent presence in the Techno download charts confirms, the quality and consistency of Spektre’s studio output is a given.  As performers, Spektre’s unique sound has taken them to some of the biggest and most highly regarded venues worldwide, with frequent bookings by the likes of Space Ibiza, Exit Festival, Pacha Buenos Aires and Burning Man. On stage, their long-standing chemistry and constant desire to experiment always results in an exciting spectacle. Their live exploits are also documented alongside guest slots from esteemed cohorts in a fortnightly Mutual Respekt Podcast, which is syndicated across the globe.
