Gingy & Bordello - Body Acid EP

A true product of Toronto's thrillingly cosmopolitan Grooving Pot, this Chinese-Italian duo offers much more than a staggering blow to the face of casual racism, crafting highly effective acid tracks with just a hint of banger.

Bordello has served as Turbo's in-house intern for the past year, managing such vital tasks such as buying Tiga's bagels, toasting Tiga's bagels, and offering a youthful take on bagels to a bunch of jaded crabs. Gingy, by all accounts, is a really nice guy.

They initially caught the attention of racists and non-racists alike with their first EP, 'Vaporizer,' on This Is Music, before catching the ear of some big names with THESE tracks, with Brodinski championing 'Body Acid' and forcing Turbo’s A&R Vibetrust to pay their respects to the kid with a foot in the door and a finger on the Ontarian Pulse. 

If you aren't sold on the Ontario-buzz, or the Cinternderella story, then maybe you'll pay attention to two awesome remixes by the bombest Bulgarian, Kink. The 'Deep' mix is a lush, throbbing body-rub, and the 'Acid' version is a highlight-reel of peak time mayhem, already caned and charted by Erol Alkan and Tiga.

If nothing else, “Body Acid” is a vital reminder that acid goes into your body. That’s just the way it works.

MILANO - THE FALL
Turbo Recordings unleashes one of the best Acid Techno records of the year. Pro-stamped white label vinyl. Remix by Untold.&nbsp;
At Turbo, we make no secret about our love of real techno. In fact, we kind of drone on about it constantly. So we're always thrilled to find tracks that embody the music we love above all else, while managing to take it someplace new.&nbsp;
"The Fall" is a killer dose of deep acid,&nbsp;in the tradition of some of the label's finest releases (Jesper Dahlback, Jori Hulkonnen, Mike Mind).&nbsp;The track is dark, huge and claustrophobic, like plummeting endlessly through a starry void in an uncomfortably form-fitting spacesuit.&nbsp;
For the remix, we were able to secure the services of Untold, hot off a hot new EP for Clone's Basement Series. We have no idea how to categorize his version, other than to stress that it's dope and not what we were expecting at all. It's rare when both of those things happen.
Finally, we've included a Synthapella. It's a killer DJ tool, an easy listening tool, and the perfect tool for imagining a World Without Percussion, and what your place might be in it.

Milano - The Fall

Sei A returns on Turbo in a big way, backed by a storming remix from Martyn.

 

Whereas Frozen Flower marked his most delicate and emotive release to date, the latest EP from Sei A snaps things back onto a futuristic grid of bass-driven club madness. "Break the Pattern" is a techno zap-fest featuring a killer hook, precision, laser-cut drums and a rough, rolling groove that fits alongside the best UK underground techno.

 

"Flux" blends retro video game sounds with vocal samples, laid out against a psychedelic cha-cha rhythm. This one received early support from Martyn who - fresh off his LP release - weighs in with one of his strongest and most playable remixes in recent memory, driving the 8-bit riff into a frenzy, backed by iron-clad beats bouncing atop a megaton sub. Guaranteed crowd-pleaser, this one!

 

Finally, the digital release includes "Jus Appreciate", which combines off-kilter samples and haunting atmospheres in arguably the most concise distillation of Sei A's sound so far.

 

With this release, Sei A continues his evolution into one of the most promising talents on the UK scene, reinterpreting the best elements of modern dance music to create a unique and versatile voice.

ZZT - WORK REMIXES PT. 1

The Tiga/Zombie Nation supergroup returns with another blast of cortex-sizzling electro-funk. Featuring a remix by Nautiluss.

The latest single off the PARTYS OVER EARTH LP romances the grindstone with five and a half minutes of hard labor in the Analog Mines. 

"This extended 12" version is meant to honor the spirit of the Working Man. It is the product of two pairs of hands getting hands-on with the machines, pumping out the jam and punching out the clock," says Tiga, the man who puts the "T" in ZZT, and the "H" in Chaos.

The release also features a remix by Nautiluss, the new techno alias of Thunderheist's Graham Zilla. Look for his amazing Turbo debut EP, due in early 2012.

And while you're looking for that, look for Work Pt. II, which includes remixes by The Advent & Spiriakos, Gingy & Bordello, and Norman Nodge.

CLOUDS - OPTIC

If you've seen Tiga play a festival set over the past few months, then you saw him play at least three to five Clouds tracks, with at least one of them being "Optic", "Future Blaster", or "Vaults".

These Scottish Ladmen are some of the most promising producers working today, combining brutish, visceral force with real intelligence and control. They use no gear whatsoever, crafting their bombs from malware in public chatrooms, giving voice to a generation living in the digital ether between the Moon and Glaswegia City.

For the remix, Clouds asked to enlist a hero of theirs, the Swedish techno master Jesper Dahlbäck, who adds another excellent remix to his massive catalog and further cements his place in the Turbo Hall of Endless Respect.

TWIN TURBO 007
ZOO BRAZIL - NEW YORK

Twin Turbo throttles up the VIP engine room with two new foam-bombs from Zoo Brazil. A clubcore hitmaster of the highest caliber, his second release for the label captures all the restless energy of the City That Doesn't Get Much Sleep. Simply put, if these tracks do not start your party, you might not even be at a party. Take a look around you. Are there balloons? A Bacardi-sponsored Passion Fruit Jello Shooter Kiosk? Women?

Twin Turbo - starting off the last year of our lives with music we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

Turbo 116 - Azari & III - reckless with you love remixes (Tiga/Proxy)

Coinciding with a hot new video and an upcoming album re-release courtesy of Island Records, Turbo weighs in with heavyweight remix support from label bossmaster TIGA and Russian Rave-Czar PROXY.
 
Tiga's mix gets reckless with your ears with a versatile after-hours jam. It packs a bassy punch but keeps its head down in the lifestyle k-hole, exercising restraint while showing off a mature and developed sexuality.
 
Proxy turns in a bumping, hip-hop influenced mix, with old-skool cowbells, crushed claps and a SH-101 lead guaranteed to make heads bob 'til they can't bob no more. This is probably the only time Azari & III will ever be used to start a mosh, at least until society does some much-needed growing up.
COOOL MAN!

Turbo Century V

Azari & III - Reckless (With Your Love) (Tiga Remix)

Zombielicious is one of the best dance albums of the DECADE. When I first heard it I badly wanted to license it for Turbo and we almost did. Zombie was even into the idea, but the timing was bad, so we decided to put together a Turbo-riffic remix pack instead. Bad idea compared to getting every incredible moment of that album... but luckily the result is amazing.

First of all, I LOVE and respect mr. Zombie, but mixed in with all that admiration is actually a touch of FEAR. Flo is so dope on every level... everything he's done, the videos for Kernkraft and Worth It, the vinyl packaging of his LP, his press shots, stickers... it's all awesome... and he does it all himself with his friend Wolfram in the über-city of Munich. It's all spot-on. Flo is intense. I've never seen him make a mistake, though I have seen him get shit-faced and play Beyoncé... but that just proves he's got huge balls and loves divas.

Basically I reeeally didn't want to disappoint him, but the trouble is that trying to get great remixes is like fishing for music... you never know if you're going to get a giant tuna or a little sardine. Luckily, we took the analogy to heart and busted out THE CAVIAR!!!

That's right... the world's favorite Russian is back with another total devastator... He kept the best of 'Shottieville' intact, adding only the hint of military-industrial might it needed to achieve complete dance-floor annihilation. Proxy is a poet for the ages, and this is probably the last remix you'll hear from him until his album drops in the fall.

Next up are Arveene & Misk, hot off their remix for Mr. Oizo and the production of Yo! Majesty, these Irish 'lads' are ones to watch and this remix of 'Worth It' is a big winner.

Milano is back with another dose of deep underground techno, a worthy follow-up to his excellent remix on Turbo 063.

Shadow Dancer, hot off his debut album release, turns in a smooth-yet-chunky acid groove. 

Last but not least, Hey Today! (!) pull off a massive heavily-ZZT-influenced banger with their remix of 'Radio Controlled.' 

5 great remixes that prove a whole lot of love for Zombie-man. Hope you enjoy!


Zombielicious Remixes pt. 1

Zombie Nation - Shottieville (Proxy Remix)

Turbo Recordings was founded by Tiga in Montreal back in 1998. In addition to launching his own career, the label has been integral in the success of acts like Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont and most recently, ANNA & Charlotte de Witte. Core talent includes ZZT (Tiga's collaboration with Zombie Nation), Jori Hulkkonen, BETON, Clouds, Harvard Bass, Pilo, Shaded, Dimitri Veimar and a host of new young producers in genres ranging from pure techno, electro, and house to pop. The list of artists who have released music on the label is a veritable 'who's who' of top-level talent spanning a broad musical range, and this, along with a commitment to beautiful design, has earned the label respect in the industry and a cult following among fans. 

“We started out singing into plastic bags and shipping them to stores as quickly as possible. Later, we discovered that vinyl sounds way better when delivered by kayak. I learned so much the first few years…Now, as I look towards the future, I can envision music for poor people, sonic odors for the hearing impaired, even MP3s for women....Vroom, sucka!” says Tiga, the lyrical lampsman lighting the way down Dance Avenue.
