Original Tracks

Original track by producer True Self featuring original vocals, a heavy bassline, drum breaks & a halftime switch up.

Emergence

This was our first CD release.
XLR8R REVIEW! 
The grinding acid assemblage of the best cuts from NYC's biggest Electro label on this their retrospective comp, is speckled with unreleased goodies and tracks from as far back as 96. Prepare yourself for heavy , bass-driven electro. This ain't no minimal experimental album. Even breaks heads will love tracks like Scape Ones "Android robotics," while Decals "From the Inside" can do some serious dance floor damage. An emotional ride with EMS's "Take my Time" takes the edge off of the overall acid feel of this album. Remember your squatting days in that abandoned industrial site? This was your Soundtrack!

Freezie Freekie - Slow Decay-NYC

Carl has been writing and recording music since 1986 but his first real record involvement was co writing and producing Moments of Inertia by Circle City on Warp in 1993. After a year or so working with Leeds indie band The Bridewells and culminating in an album with them recorded in Roxy Music's studio, he settled down into writing and producing dance music. In 1994 he and DJ Ralph Lawson set up 2020 Vision Records, producing deep house flavours of their own as Wolf and Flow and under his own solo guise of Random Factor, remixing artists from around the globe including Blaze, Josh Wink, Superman Lovers and Fatboy Slim. His solo work is heavily electro tinted, reflective of the Kraftwerk era but owing as much to the likes of Drexciya, Prince, Depeche Mode and Yello. During the mid 90s he teamed up with SCSI founder Daz Quayle and wrote under the name Scarletron and also as Black Labs with two releases on Thomas Heckmann's Trope Recordings around 1995. Working under the names of Random Factor (2020 Vision) Voice Stealer (Subvert) and more recently Silicon Scally (SCSI, Satamile) he has released music on labels including Warp, Fuel, Playhouse, Paper, Trope, Sony, Klang, Arista, Soma, Pagan and Minifunk. He is also a keen remixer in his own right, having reworked tracks by 2 Lone Swordsman, Luke Slater, Swayzak, Dave Tipper and Alexi Delano. 2002 saw the release of the critically acclaimed Mr. Machine album on SCSI recordings. In 2003 the combined EP's on Device Entertainment Recordings were released as the album Electrilogy+ under his real name, Carl A Finlow. Shortly after this release, he moved to Paris.

DJ Hero - In The Moment (Original Mix)

2timesdope-System

Banterbox

Beat junkie, producer and dj who has been moving minds galaxy wide for well over the past decade with his unique blend of dark sci-fi robot infected electro sounds for the dance floor. Being influenced by the early days of electro, breakdancing, hip hop, graff, and broken beat music such as Kraftwerk, Chakka khan, Newcleus, Styx, Egyptian Lover, Midnight Star, Lisa Lisa, Run DMC, Afrikka Bambatta, Edie Grant, Kurtis Blow, and many more talented artists.

In 1995 he purchased his first set of turntables self teaching the tactics and skills he would later use to rock party people on the dance floor world wide. Weekends soon became forest and full moon parties with beats and freaks dancing under the stars in the very beautifull northern Arizona countryside. In 1996 he moved to London to pursue his dreams of production and become submerged in the UKs underground electronic dance culture and music scene. While living in the UK he performed at his first massive event called World of Dance in Aug of 1996 under the name Neon Beat batteling the Psyconauts along side the bassest from Massive Attack and Big Darren, plus several smaller events and happenings in UK/EU area. Living across the street from the legendary Blue note club in Hoxton square near Old Street he was hitting some of the first of the METALHEADZ nights, FABRIC, the End, and many other underground events collecting inspiration and ideas to create urban influenced, BASSheavy electro robotik sounds geared towards the dance floor. Through a good friend he later met a couple of guys who were working on a little bedroom label at the time. They asked for some scratching over some of the projects they were working on. This label later became one of the most prominent breakbeat labels in the world now known as Finger lickin records. They released Soul of Man, Finger lickins first release, then soon after Finger lickin vol 1 Dj tool record bothe featuring ILLEKTROLAB scratching.

Djing under the name djl3go for the first part of his career he quickly made a name for himself on the underground rave/club circuit with his fluid scratching and mixing abilities plus playing free parties around various parts of the world passing out loads of demos to the beat junkies. In the year 2000 he was forced to change his name due to the L3GO toy corporation threatening him with a law suit. The decision was then made to activate his alter ego ILLEKTROLAB and spread the robot music to all open ears and minds possible. Since then he has performed on bills with many of the most influential and well known artists in the hip hop, electronic dance and uderground music scene such as Grandmaster Flash, Jazzy Jeff, Afrikka Bambatta, Kurtis Blow, Goldy, Perry Farrell of Janes Addiction, Lady Kier of D lite, Dj Craze, Massive Attack, Dynamix, Rabbit in the Moon, Dj Icey, Jackal and Hyde, Rhazel etc....... (A more detailed list can be viewed below)

ILLEKTROLABS high energy performances, scratching, and darker style of production are known to move the crowd and tantilize the senses into a sonik assault of electromechanical madness. With the launch of his own label ADVANCED ROBOTIKS in 2008, (ADRO 01). A slamming release on Satamile records (SAT39) 2007, and a very impressive aresenal of unreleased tracks in his vault the future is looking very bassheavy and energized for the illektrokadet and his robot uprising. The sounds are spreading to every corner of the globe like an uncontrollable yet programmed sonik virus. During his explosive dj/live PA performances ILLEKTROLAB feeds off the music he plays and then projects that energy and adrenaline straight into the crowd creating a direct connection with the party people travelling with them on their galactic space journey into sound. Ask anyone thats seen an ILLEKTROLAB performance and its the same story in any language. The energy is unbelieveable.The sounds are dark, heavy, and thought provoking with ground quaking deep bass along twisted driving acidic synth lines. Best heard on an ear bleeding wall of bass!!

The bottom line is that ILLEKTROLABS music is unparalleled, beat junkies and BASS freaks galaxy wide just keep asking for more. His style is unorthodox, yet crowds keep lining up to catch the vibe of his unique and futuristic robot sounding beeps and bleeps, all sequenced together with a certain mathmatical movement to make the bones vibrate and the body girate. Many try to imitate while ILLEKTROLAB originates. His sound is all his own, ROBOTIK, bassheavy, laced with attitude - and moving minds planetary.
