Agoria became famous with productions like 'La Onzième Marche' and 'Kofea', but he's also a gifted DJ. He got invited to do the new edition in the "At The Controls" series after James Holden, M.A.N.D.Y. and Claude VonStroke.
The Dutch techno and minimal scene is without a doubt one of the most interesting these days and Shinedoe definitely has an important part in that. This is her debut mix-cd, a part of the nice "Fuse Presents" series on Music Man.
Sven Väth playing this track during the Cocoon opening party at Privilege Ibiza:
Dan Curtin has been a key person in the scene since his releases on Peacefrog in the mid-nineties. Now he's mostly releasing his stuff on Tuning Spork. They are also bringing out this compilation, and believe it or not, it's Dan's very first mix-cd!
Groove magazine is a very well written magazine about underground electronic music and if you understand some German it's really a must to check it out. I was very happy to see 'Acid Bells' in their new chart, especially since that chart is based on the top ten of the most important DJ's of the moment.

Claudio Coccoluto is one of Italy's biggest DJ's since the beginning of the nineties already. But looking at the tracklist of his new mix he's definitely keeping an eye on today's evolutions in music. So we're happy to be a part of this project!
Karotte is one of Germany's most popular DJ's. He has his own night at the Cocoon club in Frankfurt and hosts his own radio show on Sunshine Live. That show is called Karotte's Kitchen and now the first mix-compilation with that same name is being released. Karotte included the 2000 And One remix of 'Strange But Cool' (originally by Denis Karimani on Curle005) in his selection.
Sven Väth playing this track in Amsterdam during ADE:
After some well received EP's it's time for Efdemin's debut album on Dial. It's definitely one of the best cd's to be released this year, be sure to check it out! Next to a bunch of new tracks, he also decided to include 'Acid Bells'. To have the track on vinyl you will have to buy Curle003 though...
I'm honnoured to announce that 'Warm' by Mark August has been licensed by the Innervisions label from Germany (Dixon, Âme, Henrik Schwarz...). The track will appear on the first edition in their 'Secret Weapon' series. I couldn't think of a bigger compliment really! Their release will hit the stores end of February.
