The M Machine New Single + HARD Comes to Portland

 

I'll admit it.  For a bit of time I lost faith. After seeing some absolutely garbage shows here in Portland (I'm looking at you Bohemia) I was beginning to think our wondrous city of bridges was losing its touch. But Figure brought it hard and tonight the epic arrival of the HARD tour arrives to rock the Roseland Theater with the likes of Digitalism, GESAFFELSTEIN, and one of my favorite duos, Jack Beats. So if you aren't amped up and ready to go nuts, start preparing.

So in honor of my newly restored belief in our cause, I'd thought I'd hook you all up with the new single from The M Machine, a San Fransisco duo who put out a crazy awesome teaser video I spoke of long ago. I was excited to hear what these boys were bringing to the table and "Trafalgar" does not disappoint. What we have hear is an incredibly well produced track that runs a little long (6:00) but drops into some of the best dark, grinding synths and epically constructed beats that would put a Dada Life song to shame. It doesn't have the hard edge that an Ikki song or Q.G. track would provide, but it's got those long melodies combined with awesome sounds that I miss from when Danger used to drop tracks. It's worth a listen for sure, so check it out below and if you like it, it's free on Facebook. Party on pretty people.

Some Reviews From the Turbo Recs Staff:
Belgium's Sound of Stereo gets the kids' hands up high. These guys are going to get huger sooner or later. Anyone need a breakdown?
Proxy protegé Marseille brings the raw ghetto insanity of Russia to the people. It's got more WOOs and bleeps than the rest of the remixes combined. We counted.
Finally, Turbo Scottish young guns Clouds rough out a grinding, deep-fried bass-trap belter. It momentarily relents and teases the Rhodes, then it's right back to pitiless face-mashing for these eleven-year-old prodigies.
Gesaffelstein, the next big French techno star, white-hot off his new Conspiracy EP, has turned in an absolute god-hammer. The Turbo office has been flooded with requests for advance copies. And we've flooded other people's offices with straight-up "NO"s.
Clouds, Sound of Stereo, Marsellie, Light Year and more... Fucking Awesome! My only question or concern about Turbo 100, Where is the Proxy?

Turbo Recordings gets a massive congratulations from this blog for the release of their 100th 12''. Turbo has brought us so many great tracks over the past 10 years, it's hard for me to imagine the state of electronic music without them.

To celebrate their 100th release, Turbo is releasing Turbo Century: the definitive label retrospective. 69 favorites from Turbo’s first 100 records, affordably priced, and released in 4 parts starting April 22nd.

Release Dates:

Turbo Century I : Friday, April 22nd

Turbo Century II : Friday, May 20th

Turbo Century III : Friday, June 17th

Turbo Century IV : Friday, July 22nd

Turbo 99
Gesaffelstein
Conspiracy Pt. 1
Parisian Producer Gesaffelstein is all set to release his new EP Conspiracy Pt. 1. Even though Turbo's 100th might be packed full of big names including Gesaffelstein, #99 should definitely not be glossed over. Conspiracy Pt. 1 is Gesaffelstein's second EP on Turbo and it is so much better than the debut, Variations EP. Variations was interesting but Conspiracy is amazing. I highly recommend that check out Hatred down below and grab the whole EP when it drops on April 25th here.

Tracklist:

Hatred (Original Mix) [Transcode or HQ Rip, Right click for download]
Aufstand (Original Mix)
The Lack Of Hope (Original Mix)

Bonus:Check out a new track, "Vulcan Alarm" from legendary pair ZZT. The duo consisting of Turbo Recs founder Tiga and Zombie Nation who brought you The Worm and Lower State of Consciousness. Don't know anything about release dates yet, hopefully soon. Sorry about the quality, it is a set rip but you still get some felling for the song.
