Turbo Canada Vinyl & CDs

Review: Sophie Sweetland and Daniel Rincon don't release that many records as Ambien Baby, and those that they do serve up - particularly their previous outings on Isla and Planet Euphorique - tend to be undeniably special. This outing on Tiga's Turbo label certainly hits the spot, with the duo offering up a trio of enticing original productions - the dubby, intoxicating and psychedelic deep house excellence of 'Jaulas En El Cielo', the extra-percussive Latin tribal house wonkiness of 'Baila', and the unflinchingly sub-heavy moodiness of 'Salseros'. Over on the flip, we're treated to two alternative interpretations of 'Bailia': an up-tempo, hot-stepping and subtly energy-packed version by the mighty Roza Terenzi, and a more intense, psychedelic and spaced-out rub by rising stars DNGDNGDNG.

Review: 'Good Night Whatever That Is' by Architectural is a masterful exploration of techno that seamlessly blends celestial sounds with driving beats. The album opens with 'Eternity Land', a track that embodies an otherworldly vibe, transporting listeners to ethereal realms through its celestial synths. Other highlights include 'Rousing Rhythms' which features atmospheric electro beats that create a soothing experience, perfect for both introspection and dancefloor exploration. The mood shifts with 'Steampunk', a futuristic track that evokes the sensation of soaring through clouds, intertwining sci-fi elements with hypnotic grooves. Closing the album, 'Teenagers From Outer Space' delves into the realm of dub techno, layering echoing effects and deep basslines that feel both playful and expansive. 'Good Night Whatever That Is' showcases Architectural's ability to blend diverse influences, resulting in an album that is innovative and exciting.

Review: A relentless techno workout from a veteran American producer with deep ties to both commercial music and underground dance culture. Across five tracks, the artist distills decades of dance music history into high-powered club weapons designed to shake any sound system. 'New York Is Dead' kicks things off with a raw, crunchy groove, its distorted percussion and searing synth stabs embodying the city's chaotic energy. 'Black Hole At The Disco' takes a futuristic disco turn, weaving shimmering melodies through a heavy, hypnotic bassline. 'Last Song Before Sunrise' taps into electroclash nostalgia, its rapid-fire beats and sharp synths evoking neon-lit hedonism. On the Side-B, 'Break Your Back' delivers a punishing mix of acid-laced bass and brutal drum programming, an industrial-tinged club destroyer. Closing track 'Mind Control' leans into retro techno aesthetics, its hypnotic synthwork nodding to 90s warehouse rave euphoria. Heavy, propulsive and fiercely dancefloor-driven, this is a techno monster ready to turn heads at every listen.

Review: Tiga's stripped-down electronic funk and Hudson Mohawke's bold beats share a common threadian idea Tiga dubs "hardcore romance." Recorded in Los Angeles, their collaboration evolved across various tracks that ultimately shaped their debut album, L'Ecstasy. Turbo revisits the project with a series of club-ready remixes featuring Keinemusik's Reznik, Montreal duo Priori & Patrick Holland as Jump Source and Berghain regular Quelza. These hard-hitting remixes are pressed loudly on a striking 12" picture disc featuring iconic imagery from renowned photographer Wolfgang Tillmans.
