Missing on I Love Techno...but soon elsewhere in Belgium?

OK, this year we've already seen Justice. And Digitalism. And even Crookers. And Bloody Beetroots. And Dr. Lektroluv. And Tocadisco. And SebastiAn. And Boys Noize. 

They 're all at I Love Techno. Great, but...I would suggest some fresh cool guys that make banging music.

1. Danger
He's not expensive, very unknown here, but rocking the place (only 50min show I recall, but still worth it). Somebody book him, please!


2. The Proxy
From Russia with love, and already owns a collection of great tracks.
Raven, 40 Seconds, Dance In The Dark (you should know that one),

3. Toxic Avenger
Still haven't seen him live. But he's on the iHeartcomix payroll with Franki Chan I guess. A lot of tours in the US. I love his Escape, Saloperie de Minimal, Poker Face, Superheroes,..man I could go on for hours, he's got a lot of great bangin' shit that needs to get out there soon.
He used to be a masked hero ;-) maybe that's why I like him :)


4.  Rambrandt
Honestly I know nothing about this guy, but his track 'Alarm!' has been in my setlist for months now...and is my favourite song of 2008
Great tune, the Atari is near, and so are the Germans. Must be good! :-)

I have no real video, but this will give you an impression. 
More info about him is welcome!

There's a post on Data Sapiens, but it looks like chinese to me:

5. Dmitry Fyodorov
He's got a name like a Russian ice hockey player but drops toxic synths and trashy beats like an italian mobster in Naples.

Ps: this is him behind the decks, but the song is a Britney Spears - Outrageous remix by Felix Cartal (I had it somewhere in my Bompax mix (posted Feb 4 '08)

Voila, that's it for today. See you on I Love Techno 2008?

Dead or alive.

We have been looking for Phantom. Well, he's gone it seems. Spotted on Club Noord.be, then again somewhere in Leuven (Who Cares?), and now appearing again in Colombian promos of the Cartaghenian beach club 'Bompax'.

But let's hang in there, he's been busy. Working, moving, also mixing & experimenting.

New stuff will be posted, including mixes. But not in November, so take a break, and come back in December for more. (Don't miss out I Love Techno this year!)

Meanwhile: 

12th December @ 22h00
Beat It Club
@ Alegria, (Esperanza) Leuven
D!rty Electro
No fee, just beats, babes and bedroom DJs!
