Baby from DJ Skip is a pleasant mix between old school Chicago house grooves and melodic filter house. Nice tool for every house DJ.

DJ Skip - Baby

Misleading Act continues with the same theme but adds touching melodies, strings, guitars and saxophone for a romantic take on Chicago house.

DJ Skip - Misleading Act

Raid Over Europe is a minimalistic mixture of electro and Hi-NRG/New Wave disco. Huge octave bass line and a simple LinnDrum beat prove that less is more.

Ural 13 Diktators - Raid Over Europe

Still Alive (Hardy Hard Remix) is refined and updated take on the 1999 original. The Low Spirit master utilizes the electro beats and tap dancing to the full effect while keeping things cool and controlled. Licensed later to Mayday 2001 compilation and to Groovy Records.

Ural 13 Diktators - Disko Warriors

World Domination provides rolling electronic disco grooves with soundtrack like harmonies and Amiga computer vocals. Finally a fat detuned lead melody destined for super heroes is revealed.

Ural 13 Diktators - World Domination

Moscow Nights is an adaptation of the famous Russian song for the techno floor. Heavy bass, epic strings and a sing-a-long lead melody bringing tears. Later licensed also to a Gigi D'Agostino mix compilation.

Ural 13 Diktators - Moscow Nights

Moscow Nights (Kosmonaut Remix) maintains the unforgettable melodies of the original while setting up a clubbier feel with rubber band bass lines, gated strings and even a touch of acid in the mix.

Ural 13 Diktators - Moscow Nights (Kosmonaut Remix)

Waiting For You (Ural 13 Diktators Remix) provides a mix for a hot and fully packed Hi-NRG disco floor. Arpeggiated whispering of the lead melody and punchy kick drums will make every crowd move.

Kosmonaut - Waiting For You (Ural 13 Diktators Remix)

White BMW (Legowelt Remix) shows Legowelt transforming the original to a massive space disco anthem. Lush synthesizers, boundless melodies and a bass line to die for. Classic old school Legowelt sounds.

V.U.L.V.A. - White BMW (Legowelt Remix)

White BMW (Legowelt 2nd Remix) is a previously unreleased alternative remix from Legowelt providing fatter and crunchier beats.

V.U.L.V.A. - White BMW (Legowelt 2nd Remix)

V.U.L.V.A. - White BMW (Legowelt 3rd Remix)

Techno Is Dead is a booming slow motion electro with cold funeral melodies providing a nice intro for the album. Wait a minute. Is this a prototype for the Skweee genre?

Ural 13 Diktators - Techno Is Dead

The Mission tells a combat disco story about two Soviet fighter pilots. Epic synth melodies, disco beats, solid bass line, sound effects and radio conversations would make this a great movie soundtrack.

Ural 13 Diktators - The Mission

Blind Love a sweet pop song flirting with Hi-NRG, techno and retro Amiga chip tune soundscapes. Lead vocals and vocoders by the Finnish singer Teemu Hovila. You're the treble, I'm the bass, let's find a common pace. Licensed to Alphabet City for a single release in 2004.

Ural 13 Diktators - Blind Love

Rest In Peace starts as a raw techno track with thumping bass drum and vocal percussions. Dance floor should be ready when the reversed and modulated bass drum kicks in. Finally a beautiful vocoder choir sings farewell to techno.

Ural 13 Diktators - Rest In Peace

Lonely Star is a passionate homage to the 80s sounds. Electro disco with octave bass lines, synth arpeggios, vocals percussions and guitars time warp you to a retro heaven.

Ural 13 Diktators - Lonely Star

Ready For This? combines Hi-NRG rhythms with screaming hard rock guitar riffs and vocals to form a sudden mosh pit on the disco floor. If you think Ural 13 Diktators are cheesy, you should be ready for this.

Ural 13 Diktators - Ready For This?

Goodbye! is a dark fusion of industrial, electro and alternative rock. Chilling lead synth melody, staccato bass lines, guitar walls and desperate vocal choir singing goodbye to world when dying together. End of story.

Ural 13 Diktators - Goodbye!

Act of Terror is a fast paced hard techno slammer with unlikely Hi-NRG disco aesthetics and evolving synth melodies. Crossover slammer for the dance floor.

Ural 13 Diktators - Act of Terror

Code Red is the hidden gem of the album. Power techno with epic synth stabs and rolling bass lines combined with break beats and scratching. Demo version of the track got already lots of radio play in Germany months before the actual release and this would probably have been a successful single release. Maybe resurrected with the digital release.

Ural 13 Diktators - Code Red

Despair of Creation shows the diktators going a bit crazy or even psychedelic with their techno. Pounding bass drums, urban rhythms, fat bass lines and sweet chord harmonies are messed up when the drunken sing-a-long vocals and laughter kick in. Who needs Auto-Tune?

Ural 13 Diktators - Despair of Creation

Running Out of Time is a funky deep house track with slap basses, finger snapping and a long guitar solo. Perfect outro for the original album.

Ural 13 Diktators - Running Out of Time

Blind Love (Instrumental) is a previously unreleased instrumental demo version containing a lead synth sound which is not included in the album version. Purpose of the synth was to help the vocalist Teemu Hovila to sing the lead melody. Remastered in 2013 as the demo didn't have the Finnvox mastering.

Ural 13 Diktators - Blind Love (Instrumental)

Shaybu is the "We want a goal!" chant you hear in the Russian ice hockey arenas. Instead of a traditional hockey anthem you get a floor burning, dark fusion of techno and EBM/industrial. Pounding beats, throbbing basslines and disturbing vocals pave the way for a screeching metallic lead melody from hell.

Shaybu (Video Edit)

Title track Tivoli starts with raw synthesized drums one could expect from early industrial groups of the era where Roland TR drum machines did not exist yet. Growling basslines and g-funk synth leads kick in and soon get accompanied with lush talkbox vocals singing about Finnish truck drivers cruising around Europe in the 1970s. Ravey old school piano riff in the break completes the track.

Our previously unreleased 2002 bootleg remix of Cruisin' Gang - Tap Dancing. We turned the original gentle Italo Disco classic into a Acid Techno monster.

Listen to this old track made by Kano
Ten times better than the thing called techno
I wonder why everybody tries to be so retro
Techno is a form of misunderstood disco
