Bong-Ra, well known for his 2001 Peel Sessions, a raunchy collaboration with The US Bikini Bandits, and a smoother-than-smooth remixes of Venetian Snares' Rossz Csillag Allat Szueletett, has also notched chart-breaking hits like "Murder You" (dj/rupture's all time fave!), "Deat$ucker Rave" and "666MPH" (a classic video that enjoyed heavy rotation on MTV Europe). So who said rave was dead? Rave is the new punk and this former breakbeat centerfold seems to have scored a one-way ticket on the Tardis back to the fluorescent, sound-warped '90s. He's proven before with his Yardcore, Junglist and Resonance FM mixes that no Shotgun Wedding reception is safe from his mentalist mash-ups.

Sickboy returns to the TB6 family with a smashing megamix of cutting edge dance and hardcore music that's bound to set any stereo, Walkman or iPod on fire. This time, his positive vibes and raw dancefloor energy reach mercurial dimensions as he operates 55 mixers and 666 turntables with octopus arms! Meanwhile back on planet Earth, Sickboy and his wood-crew continue to torment the Belgian underground with clubnights on pirate ships setting sail for horizons unknown. Get ready for a good laugh and a sweaty dance session. Hypah! Hypah! Respect to the man in the ice-cream van!

As Funkstörung, Chris de Luca and partner Michael Fakesch released an uncountable amount of records while there remixes for Björk, Wu-Tang Clan, Speedy J and Plaid attracted worldwide attention.

In 2002, de Luca intensely lived out his love for hip hop with friend Peabird on his first solo album Deadly Wiz Da Disko. Then De Luca moved to Berlin and Funkstörung split up. It was destiny for De Luca to soon pair up with Phon.o!, glitch-hop hero of labels like Cytrax, Detroit Underground, Normoton, Tigerbeat6 and T.Raumschmiere's Shitkatapult.

Currently, the two are locked inside a studio working like crazy fuckers to finish their debut album, but they couldnt pass up the chance to make this old school styled hip-hop battle mix cd for Violent Turd! Chris de Luca's Mix is filled with hits hits hits, all seriously cranked up and tweaked out to blend with new unreleased material while Phon.o took the Old skool approach using just turntables and mixing classic house, chart hits and pitched up dirty ghetto tracks for what he likes to call "%100 pure booty shit!"

• A marriage made in heaven, one half of IDM forefathers Funkstöerung and the best of berlin's new scene of hip hop influenced techno troublemakers.
  
• The duo have already rocked festivals and clubs across europe with more to come worldwide after there album drops.

Coming from the grind/crust world (where he played drums in bands like Grief) Pete Dev/Null got into breakcore around 1997 via Ambush Records' first few releases, and has been actively producing tracks since 2001. As Dev/Null he has toured Europe twice, released two split seven-inches and numerous compilation tracks, and is scheduled to release a full-length album on Jason Forrest's (aka DonnaSummer's) Cock Rock Disco label this year. Dev/Null is also working on split releases with Electromeca and Terminal11, and a remix for Agoraphobic Nosebleed for Hydrahead.

Unbelievably smooth tunings and compositional alignments are in effect as Broken Window finds entire instrumentals and a cappella songs that fit together. In other words, every verse and chorus line up because the songs have exactly the same structure - to freaky and hilarious effect, not to mention seeming like uncannily legit collaborations by artists who are generations, genres, and continents apart. For example: R&B vox over late '60s moog classics; Miami rap over obscure Canadian synth-pop; '60s garage-psych over '90s Detroit electro; Tahitian islanders sing and chant with techno lock grooves; children sing over commercial hip hop club tunes; IDM meets prog-rockers-gone-pop.

Beyond this, there are numerous conceptual links connecting the elements Broken Window chooses for his mash-ups. He truly raises the bar on the whole art of making boots. Avant-musicology inside jokes aside, Parallel Universe Vol.1 keeps on course toward the real checkered flag - pop music for dancing at your next house party.

Critics have called Broken Window's work "as fun as it is dangerous," "as academic in its musicological joking as it is tongue-in-cheek with booty-shaking party music," and praised his "mash-ups that actually seek out songs that work well together.... So much fun that you may not realize how masterfully conceived it really is."

Selection and conceptual integrity is why these mashups stand out; each is the combination of an instrumental and a capella vocals that happen to be parallel arrangements across through their entire durations, but are usually a few decades and genres apart, as well: doo-wop vocal harmonies backed by micro-house; rap over '70s prog-rock anthems; R&B backed by classic industrial dance music; club divas backed by a '60s samba trio; even contemporary jabs at the Hooked On Classics series. They resemble pop tunes, except that all the "wrong" vocals are fronting all the "wrong" bands. Unlikely combinations work out perfectly due in no small part to Broken Window's encyclopedic knowledge of pop and avant-garde music. Because Parallel Universe relies on the elegant layering of whole, unedited tracks, they are free of the scars of brutal computer-based reconstructive surgery that make glitchy, MP3-based mash-ups unpalatable to many music fans. In fact, some work so well, you might suspect that they were legitimate, next-wave productions by the original artists.

Rupture is the opposite of eclectism, a DJ so focused it hurts. Hot off his debut album on Soot Records, Filastine's first solo DJ session blends mental Balkan brass in odd time signatures with dubstep, breakcore, a murky Romanian diva, and Turkic hiphop. The mix bumps with exclusive and vinyl-only Filastine remixes and riddims by international beatsmiths, laced with Filastine's personal field recordings gathered from Budapest to Istanbul.

Why the fistfight? The region where brass orchestras swap sounds with Islamic troubadours and gypsy bands has recently seen the far-right pushing hard with concepts of ethnic purity and nationalism. In response, Filastine slams us with a conceptual counterpunch. Like his fan-winning stage performances blending future beats and live percussion, it'll blow your mind wide open.

DTL's mix is a ride into the sounds that have inspired and influenced him as a producer. Using three turntables, he mixes old skool jungle classics screwed down to 33 over crunk and growling dubstep, 4x4 ghettotech over hip-hop all-star jams pitched up to 45, and Billie Holiday acapellas over swooning, melodic soundscapes. Basically, it's totally insane.

Flip to track 2, and the Syrup Girls drop bullets on the decks and flames to the floor, making ill bootlegs, nasty 4x4 garage, Bmore club jams, favela funk and grime sound like they've always belonged together. If you don't dance to this, your booty is broken and you need to go home.

30-second MP3 excerpts:

"3 Decks No Shame" - Drop the Lime
"For All the Dirty Cougars" - Syrup Girls

The first track "Automatron" is a basic theme of boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy finds out girl is merely a whiny, self-pitying robot. In a jungle full of plasticine monster drummers (naturally) "Fuckingmachines" pays tribute to the comedic value of the net's most deranged sites (winter in Winnipeg is very long), with a definite nod to the first release on Zod Records.

Side two is one track with the mood-altering title of "War Machines / Mousemachines." The former being a trip to the dentist with Goldie meets the Daleks on the pay-per-view Violence Channel, the latter a tripped-out half-side of slower grooves depicting a large metal ball rolling around your head in a case of Xmas scotch. Buy one for your sister.

Winnipeg-based breakcore/electronoise musician Fanny's third 12-inch on as many labels follows a collaboration w/ DJ Paedophile on the Return of the Fightclub 12-inch, and numerous releases on labels like Zod, Addict, Deathsucker, Mirex, Suburban Trash.

Knifehandchop, best known for quick-witted and always danceable releases on Tigerbeat6 and Irritant, comes correct with a 40-minute mashup (embedded with a Venetian Snares/System Of A Down highlight) that mixes the sleazy pop of Khia, Daft Punk, RZA and Kool Moe Dee with the best hardcore hits from his own back catalogue, and unreleased friends' tracks. Nowza, it doesn't get any more twisted than this.

DJ Aneurysm, musical mastermind of Switchcraft Records and winner of many underground hardcore/noise /gabber turntablist contests, takes things to a more multidimensional level of perversion, constantly mixing between turntables and laptops, combining DSP and scratching, and mixing in lots of his own new tracks over the best hard techno and grimy hiphop, jungle and gabber.

Born in Taipei, Taiwan, where politicians box and girls in huts make cars crash, David Wang has been composing mischievous music since his mom bought him a stiletto guitar at the age of 15. After years in punk-disco-classical-blackmetal bands, Mochipet is his newest avatar. The potency of Mochipet releases on Germany's bpitchcontrol and his own btrendy have been compared to "licking a page of micro-dots, bring on the hallucinations..."

• Violent Turd's craziest mash-up deconstruction yet

Puzzleweasel has worked with the electronica genius Sofus Forsberg (Jenkamusic.dk), and Sara Saxild of the highly acclaimed Danish instrumental experimental group Underbyen. Recent Puzzleweasel productions delve into more experimental realms; expect a full length album later this year.

Mixed between 1999 and 2002, and boasting a jaw-dropping 60 tracks in under 70 minutes, it was not done quickly just to pack as many songs as possible on a mix CD, but rather to highlight the most intense, mashed-up parts of great tracks that not many people have heard (most tracks were available on relatively small pressings at least eight years ago). Wired for Sound was originally intended to be a mix tape (track 1 being side A, and track 2 side B), but-- lucky you-- CDs allow for a third darker and more futuristic bonus track to be added for this release.

• You will not hear a better jungle mix CD this year or possibly ever
  
• SoundMurderer and Rewind Records have an international fanbase for their 12-inch releases
  
• A must for fans of Congo Natty, Squarepusher, Plug, or DJ Rupture

On side one of Vol. 8, Syrup Girls go balls out in Brooklyn, busting out the gate with down 'n' dirty breaks (favela funk, rave jams, B'more jawns) before dropping nasty punk-house and closing out with a fire fight between the Dirty South and spooky dubstep bangers. Yowch!

On the flip, Sick Girls bring on the revolution, Berlin-style, heat-fusing raw Nintendo grime (Shystie, Sticky, Drop The Lime) with club rap stormers, and super surprises, all edited, reworked, chopped, and screwed to sweet death in the pair's Kreuzberg laboratories. Fire!

Program directors Soze and Zats1 have been producing music together for about four years in a wide range of styles. The emphasis here is on hip hop and electronic noise, although the SHT kids have also been known to produce some dancehall and jungle music as well.

The art and design for this and all other SHADETEk releases are by members of NYC's Change Agent art gang, of which Soze and Zats1 are also members. The cover is a digital rendering by Citizen of an original aerosol painting by Charlie Pratt reproduced in its original form inside.
