what do i like about 2009? techno is exciting again. no question about it. with a bit of luck we might just be witnessing the start of a techno renaissance... one label that has been contributing to this resurgence is traversable wormhole. i was interested as soon as i saw boomkat's description of the A side of vol. 1 as sounding like 'marcel dettmann in a jack-off with monolake and ancient methods'. and that's a pretty good take on it. the first 2 EPs are some of the best techno i've heard in 2009 and i am eagerly awaiting vol. 3 to arrive in tokyo record stores (it was released last week).
as soon as i got my hands on these EPs, i knew it fitted perfectly with the ssg sound. and sure enough, the mix traversable wormhole did for us is exactly what i hoped/expected: serious headfuck techno. the mix is defined by its raw, powerful feel; brimming with energy and vitality. exactly what techno should be. i have a feeling this will definitely bend a few heads...

massive thanks to traversable wormhole for delivering a top notch mix, and to the person who helped to get us connected. there is a traversable wormhole myspace and, as i said, keep an eye out for traversable wormhole vol. 3, which has just dropped. that's all for now, tracklisting to follow. better turn off the lights and pull out the strobe light again. headfuck techno time!
hooo leee craaap!
ReplyDeletenow THAT'S a thrill ride. fuckin' hell!
WOW! I thought it was hot here in Seattle, but the weather aint got NOTHIN on this mix! H-O-T!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ssgs for, not only the superb mix, but also the introduction to the wormhole. This was just what I needed!
i will listen to this on my journey to the baltic sea tomorrow cant wait!
ReplyDeletethanks for bringing so many serious techno to mnml ssgs
That really is headfuck techno!0 Thank you for this mix. Without doubt the best ssg mix in 2009 so far!
ReplyDeleteeach time a ssg cast comes out, i want to go "ok, THIS was the best one...no seriously!"
ReplyDeletenon-stop awesome.
@ eric: thanks. you know we are trying our best. and we've been very fortunate all the artists (like yourself) have really dug deep and done special mixes for us.
ReplyDeleteglad people are enjoying this. i've had it on repeat since i got it.
So seriously good to witness this. Angry, but refined. Why do I have this industrial hall felling?! Great catch.
ReplyDeletelove the new vinyl release. amazingly found its way to japan ... yippeee
ReplyDelete@ dave: where did you get it? i've been checking the stores in tokyo regularly for it, without any love.
ReplyDelete@ all: thanks for the kind words on the mixes. For us it's nothing but just giving out to the artists an open brief end being continually (and continuously) bowled over by what they give us. Everytime I linger before 'getting out of bed in the morning', I remember all the SSG mixes and think, shit, it's not all bad... ...in fact, with every traversable wormhole grows a little hope...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wunderfull dirty mix :-)
ReplyDeleteTnx for this one... Big fan of the label...
Tom

Not in the same class as the Gorman, Cio and Silent Servant mixes imo, but still a worthy addition to a rocking series.
