NSM007 Michael Badal - Retrospect (Aug 5th, 2008)
Retrospect is a retro-style melodic, progressive
track with a bouncy bassline and big summer melodies.
Martin Villeneuve (MV) turns in a peak time electro-progressive
stormer, showcasing the melodies of the original, with plenty of
extra grit. Kris B & Nosmo take a more laid back approach, with techy
beats and bass, highlighting the acoustic guitar parts, sure to
rock sunrises and sunsets this summer. Michael's r

NSM003 Kris B vs Holosound - Kids On Acid (Feb 12th, 2008)
The original mix is powerful, busy, tech house. Dark quirky sounds and pitched 909 toms make the bulk of the melody, over a dirty, acid bassline. The vocal sample comes from a 1960's science reel on LSD experimentation. Jeff Devas turns in a tribal, driving, progressive remix. Huge drums, cool techy chords, and big melodic dynamics in the break. Nosmo v Kris B bring a peak time, acid tinged electro house remix. Kabuto & Koji did a deep, tec

vocal sound.

Featured Label
This week's featured label:
It would take two years of preparations and collaborations before everything would be ready. By the end of 2007, Italian independent dance music label, M:touch Records, was born.
This young label has many purposes, and it aspires to obtain a space among other dance labels. But certainly its most important goal of all is to discover new sounds and new talents in electronic music, and to give them the highest visibility possible.
 OUT NOW is MTC007 White Sushi - We Love Sushi EP
