Wed, 02 Nov 2011 / Post a commentYes, there's been a lot of excitement about whether I Love Techno should change its name or not given that there's not much techno to be found on the massive line-up. But there are still some smaller stages within the event where Techno fans should find ample musical satisfaction. Red D and Psytox will play at Coca Cola's stage, bringing past and present Techno Music.
As every year, sponsor Coca Cola hosts their own stage in the main hall of I Love Techno, and just as every year, Red D (We Play House) brings classic techno to the event. This year he's joined (again) by Psytox (Coincidence Records, KozzMozz, Tomorrowland), who is playing a mix of no less then 4 hours of old and new skool Techno.
To get in the mood, here's a dj set from last KozzMozz where Psytox opened the second room.

Thu, 16 Dec 2010 / Post a commentCoincidence Records tailors to techno and tech house dj's and has been slowly growing over their 40-release life span. But since they get demos in all sorts of styles, they figured it was time to do something with that untapped material from unknown artists.
As every label, we get lots of demos. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, and sometimes stuff that is brilliant but not quite fitting for the usual sound of the label. Which is a pitty, especially if you love all kinds of styles like we do.
So, in comes the Strange Coincidences concept: let's just combine all these tracks into a nice limited compilation and get them out there. Thus begins our journey :)
For this first edition we selected eleven tracks. Six of them will be available on the limited vinyl release, the others digital only. The styles are a bit of a bouillabaisse: dubstep, house, techno, experimental, acid, triphop, tech house, progressive,... it's all there.
The artists: Dub Pets. Rawdio. Beat Syndrome. Urbanohmz. Nazir. Beastellabeast. Pallidust. Psytox. Alectroid. Boom Merchant. Distortion. Not the best known names, but new artists or underground people we simply love. Some discovered thanks to our remix contest on Poppunt, others simply recommended by friends. Whatever the story, the music is glory.
The compilation is dedicated to and in memory of Steve 'Stella' New, the person behind Beastellabeast who sadly passed away this year, just before we got a chance to meet him. We at Coincidence hope that this release will be a proper musical salute to this extraordinairy person.
Oh yeah: the girl on the artwork is our dear friend Barbara, goddess of Belgian nightlife and most delish creature we know. Kudos to her for letting us abuse her image gallery.

Some interesting stuff throughout the release, liking the leftfield, dupstep as well as the quality acid house and techno cuts. I'll be giving this a good listen - Boom Merchant is my favourite.
