Zinga

March 7, 2008 at 1:27 pm · Filed under Articles, Media, Reviews

Artist: Italoboyz
Title: Zinga
Label: Get Physical Music
Style: Techno, Tech House, Minimal, Deep
Released: 19 Jan 2008

Ever since they moved to the UK back in 2000, Italoboyz, aka Marco Donato and Federico Marton, have built a formidable reputation in the fertile minimal techno scene of their adopted hometown London, their energetic DJ sets at FESH the stuff of local legend. Their productions, meanwhile, have seen them gain notoriety around the world. The duo have released on influential labels like Einmaleins, Treibstoff, Safari Electronique and Gumption; their 2006 “Programmer” track in particular remains a modern classic of minimal. It was their recent single “Viktor Casonova”, though,which signalled the beginning of a new mature phase in Italoboyz’ career. A breathtakingly original piece of dance music, not to mention the inaugural release on on Claude VonStroke’s Mothership imprint, “Viktor Casanova” set a plaintive, disembodied opera vocal against gritty, reductionist beats - the result was an instantly recognizable dancefloor killer, a fixture in all discerning DJs’ boxes.
Tracklist:
01. Zinga (07:21)
02. Zinga (DRAMAdub) (06:44)
03. At De Stella (06:36)
04. At De Stella (No Broccoli Mix) (05:51)

Title:Sleep Traveler Ep (Maurice Aymard rmx)
Label: Galaktika Records
Style: Techno, Minimal,Techhouse
Released: Feb 2008
This is Swat Squad’s second release for Galaktika Records, the ”Sleep Traveler EP”. The brainchildof Oliver Henares, Swat Squad has been published before by labels like Treibstoff and Resopal. Henares also runs a record label of his own, Pulsewith. He mainly plays live, but also Djs. As for the ”Sleep Traveler EP”. The journey begins with the title track, and what a beginning it is.  When the needle drops our hero (you) is confronted with a series of adventures, one after another, one deadlier than the other. He gets attacked by laser guns, keyboards and walls of sound and always manages to come out at the other end, ready for what’s next. On the dance floor ”Sleep Traveler” will hit hard and show no mercy.

A1 Swat Squad - Sleep Traveler
B1 Swat Squad - Iceberg
B2 Swat Squad - Litle less Gravity
B3 Swat Squad - Iceberg (not so icy rmx by Maurice Aymard)
