How many tracks have you heard in the last couple of years with those “White Noise” blasts, or a song that just builds and builds?  Well we’ve heard lots and Dubfire is the man thats been credited with starting it all (the White Noise that is). Resident Advisor, even  ran an article on him last month discussing this. Hundreds of artists have since copied this technique. Its all thanks to “Emissions” and its  hard to believe was released way back in 2007!

Dubfire – Emissions

Another track that inspired others like it with its “Slow Rise”, and endless building and building is Christian Smith & John Selways “Total Departure”. Its another 2007 release on Adam Beyers Drumcode Label, and as John Selway himself says

“We originally created the track as both a simple and effective DJ tool and for elements we could use in our live sets. We never expected how it would blow up the way it did, we were really surprised!“

Be sure to check out the Cirez D remix of “Total Departure” as it to is a monster, and even more techno orientated. It had huge support from the likes of Ivan Smagghe when it was originally reased. Massive!

And here’s a track that fuses both the “White Noise” and “Slow Rise” to perfection… We remember first hearing this when Sven played Tripod April 2008. It blew us away, we got a crappy recording of it on one of our phones and after several days trying to Track ID it, we found out it was coming out on Svens “Cocoon Compilation H” , happy days. And of course Dubfire had a hand in the production of this too!

Hailfairy stumbled upon RadioheadRemix.com and thought it was worth a mention. Last year Radiohead kindly released all the the stems from the track Reckoner on their last album ‘In Rainbows’ including the bass, lead vocals, backing vocals, guitar, piano/strings and drums. There’s a huge variety of musical genres in these remixes with everything from minimal techno to blues so definitely worth a flick through. Check out some of the highlights below including a Dublin Remix by someone called Tim O’Driscoll! Go on ya good thing! The rest of them are free to listen to on the site’s cool MP3 player.

The man  is Linus Eklow aka Style Of Eye and he hails from Sweden, Resident Advisor have him down as the “New sultan of Scando techno”. He is famed for his incredible productions, that boggle the mind and also for his massive remixes. He has been prolific as of late, churning out just under a dozen remixes since Christmas, each as good as the other.. He can also take a lot of credit for making techno more accessible for the new kids. Everyone from Sven Vath to Tiga and Erol Alkan have been playing out his records. Two Tracks here that need no promotion, just have a listen.
