Pan:core - "No Way To Win"

Brilliant diverse electronica (10/10) this is my first 'more than 8 tracks' album. the tracks are of different type. i think, i dont want to keep a style forever, if you know what i mean. the classical sample in 'cant stop' IS NOT ripped from try^d. track 4 is a little 'hello' to black era - an amazing triphop-combo from italy, which you can find also on jamendo. their track 'in front of the corner' inspired me somehow, as you can see at the name of my album :) enjoy. :) This is a very diverse recording. Each track is completely different from the others. Some are calm and hypnotic, some are noisy and aggressive, almost industrial. They have only two things in common. They all belong to the genre of electronica and they are all great. Each melody is very original and artful. The album is under half an hour but has more bright ideas than whole discographies of some other artists. ;-) You can also download this album for free directly from the artist at his website in .mp3 file format.

Akashic Records - "Christmas Party"

Not my piece of cake, but... (6/10) Cheerful and energetic trance based on Jingle Bells. Definitely not my piece of cake, but I have to acknowledge that the rendition is flawless. If you are into such simple dance music, you will love it.

Rastadeush - "Hard Beat Dilla"

Hard techno, heavily influenced by house and disco (5/10)

Newest full length release of our most controversial artist! This guy refused to cooperate with people from electroclash.pl, he was made one of the best Michael Jackson (when king was alive) and Madonna cover that we ever heard .. not the end .. this bonker young hooligan prepared a great never released remix for one of well known polish electroclash/power-pop group called yummy cake. if you're thirsty of dirty, street electro, ghetto tek sounds in the horrorist mood, this release is waiting for you...

This is a hard techno album, heavily influenced by house and disco. Too much influenced for my liking... While it is professionally crafted, it just felt primitive with all those tiring marked beats and stupid generic vocal interludes. However, 4 tracks stand out from the crowd, showing the true talent of Rastadeush:
02 - No One Knows
05 - Hard Beat Dilla
09 - Dark Symphony
12 - Billie Jean (Rastadeush remix)
Check them out.

The album has been released by the 49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for downloading at archive.org in mp3 format.

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Release The Beat" [EP]

Nice techno / trance recording (7/10) "Release the Beat" - this is my tribute to techno and derivatives of this musical genre. It's so my steppingstone - music to dance and to listen. I recommend! It's a simple techno / trance recording. Nothing too spectacular, but well crafted and quite catchy and entertaining, if one likes straightforward techno. The best track for me is no. 03 - really energetic as hell. I definitely prefer this artist's techno side, than his synthpop productions. But it's probably just me, as I'm not too enthusiastic about synthpop in general. [Artist's website]

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Drive 2010" [SP]

Catchy trance tune (7/10) Nowa wersja starego utworu z roku 1994. A catchy trance tune. Not a groundbreaking masterpiece, but clearly an enjoyable simple dance piece. [Artist's website]

The Motyw (Wojciech Wszelaki) - "Electro Method" [EP]

Not bad, but too ordinary... (5/10) Maybe some fans of space music or the sound of 80s will find this mini-album appealing, but for me the tunes are too ordinary. Not much here to keep my attention focused. [Artist's website]

Acidfefe - "Acid" [SP]

Short album - short review (5/10) Totally typical, tedious too, techno trance track. The tune's tiring - thank Thor terse, though.

K-not - "Sinfinity"

Quite interesting electronica (6/10) K-not is an amateur artist from Silesia (Poland). When he was only 8 years old his brother buy a CD The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation and then K-not change his mind about music at all. The same effect K-not have when he saw on Viva Zwei Premiere video for Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy. At the beginning when K-not can only buy some CD's or Tape's, in his region there's no music like IDM or d'n'b so he listen to some bands like Deftones, Slipknot, Soulfly, Tool or Nine Inch Nails. First computer, first internet, first Fruity Tracks/Loops and K-not started to create some very acid tracks. In Years 04-07 he do about 60 tracks in simple selection...vol.1, vol.2, vol.3 and vol.4. The inspiration of his first three volumes in mostly range are acid d'n'b and idm artists like AFX, Autechre, Squarepusher, Photek, Future Sound Of London. Vol.4 became more oriented on Experimental Techno cause by artists like Orbital. Now when he create his first solo project Sinfinity, he started to think about professional aproach to music but he don't know any professional musicans or producers so he decided to place his music for free. Quite interesting electronica, although not every track is good. Some are influenced with primitive house, dance and hip-hop (3,4,6,9,11). Also the cover of "Missing" is dull. All tunes are also slightly too repetitive. By the way, "Missing" is of course copyrighted, so CC license does not apply here. The album has been released by the 49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for downloading at archive.org in mp3 format. You can also download it directly from the artist at Bandcamp for free in a variety of formats, including lossless FLAC version.

Rastadeush - "Dirty Girl Dance" [SP]

Good and bad - where's the ugly? (6/10)

The aim of this EP is to prepare you for my new album Hard Beat Dilla. It consists of 2 tracks. The first was composed with my mate mr.H (a representant of the same streets as me)and the second one- with my old friend (not only mine) to listen is enough. The title track is terrible. Simple monotonous beat broken from time to time by ugly disco vocals repeating one phrase over and over again. It just drives you mad. However, no. 2 "No one knows" is great. It is powerful techno track with funny samples from the Polish children cartoon "Reksio". It is energetic, cleverly mixed, catchy, with crazy feeling. Download it ASAP. The album has been released by the 49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for downloading at archive.org in mp3 format. [Artist's Myspace]

Filsinger, Florian - "Make Some Nose"

Decent ambient - but it could be better (6/10) I started in 1994 as fourth guitar in a punkband. After some more alterna(t)ive-indie bands i decided to make music for my own. Since then i did and tasted a lot of differnet styles. It was a long way, but now i would say, i found my way. It ..s a mix of of depressive ambient breakbeat with an idea of four to the floor. I released on Dhyana, Dachstuhl, Paul's Garage, Scorched Earth Policy, AFE-Rec., and many other labels. I remixed music by Tarkatak, K.Chico, Tobi Kirsch, B.Analog, Mindmap, Baradelan, Yourchadelic, Phonopilot, Auto-Auto and others. Along with my brother, i ..m running the netlabel POLITICIDE and together with Sam Kietz, i..m the eclectic wonder-duo "SALAMANDROIDS". Decent ambient / breakbeat blend - but it could be better. Tracks 5 & 6 are really weak. No. 5 is totally boring - the kind of ambient that is completely uninventive and dull. No. 6 is - I guess - trance, but so primitive that it hurts. It does not have energy, it sounds like the artist was forced to do it and suffered when recording it. Check it out for the tracks 1-4, though. The album has been released by the 49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for downloading at archive.org in mp3 format. [Artist's website] / [Myspace]

paniq - "Unsecurious"

Decent electronica - worth checking out (7/10) An electronica album, containing works made in 2002. Nice electronica album. It is fun to listen to, although it is not perfect. First of all, the sound is a little bit flat and synthetic, especially in the opening track "Regrinder", which is apart from that just great. And my second complaint regards track no. 8. Why on Earth could I ever want to listen to this moron George of the Jungle is beyond my comprehension. Music should be fun not torture, isn't it? I'm not good at genres of electronica, but most of the tracks probably fall under trance category. But the best for me are tracks nos. 01 & 02, which are really dark & disturbing, with industrial feel.
