if a child’s nursery features not a tin drum but two turntables including a mixer, the occupant is most certainly not preparing for some kind of folkloristic brass band event in his contemplative bavarian hometown of regensburg…
the specialised press calls markus guentner -- who is a renowned minimal and ambient musician as well as a dj – the “inventor of pop ambient”. for quite a while he’s been creating his tracks in his home town of regensburg – but they are now equally popular with cologne label kompakt and mathias schaffhaeuser’s ware imprint.
since his debut album “in moll” (2001) guentner’s tracks have increased in groove and grew into the smooth tech-house-tracks on the successor “audio island”, which appeared two years later. his remix of the talk talk classic “such a shame” ended up on the turntables of djs around the globe. and just like his songs, markus guentner is a popular guest in clubs across the usa, asia and europe.
in 2005, markus guentner released his third album “1981”. each of the eight album tracks easily runs for seven minutes and largely gets along without beats. this is ambient music at its purest.
at the end of the year, a rework album called „underarms/sideways“ was published on the legendary british label 4ad and represented a continuous ambient production for the hero of the indie shoegaze label ivo russel-watts aka the hope blister.
in march 2006, the ware-album „lovely society“ was released. on this album, the artist once again published his latest 4-2-the-floor tracks, the same as he’s been doing since 2001, but for the first time he also proved vehemently that his understanding of house and techno goes way beyond dub and minimal house.
spex magazine describes guentner as a „minimalist metropolis refuser”, who thanks to his affinity to ambient and shoegazing pop and indie manages to “put works into the world that are extremely smart from a popcultural perspective”.
however, markus guentner intends to achieve more than to just make music from regensburg. since last year he’s been the co-host of a regular club event called sublime, which aims to unite indie, shoegaze and electronica under the same mirror ball.
at the end of 2007 his new album will be released on the brand new cocoon-sublabel 'silence'. so keep your eyes and ears open ...

OUT NOW! 'Fulltilt EP' from Glasgow outfit Mr Hajika.
4 slabs of groove driven tech house...
Fulltilt original is a chugging, bass heavy track with a subtle musicality that develops throughout. Dr. Bergers remix is a stripped down deeper edit, with an infectious flow that maintains the essence of the original. Similarly to Dr. Berger, Alex Fiction strips back the layers to uncover an electronic soul which builds into an intelligently emotive interpretation, if slightly twisted. Completing the package is 'Nitemoves' which shares the big sound of Fulltilt, but with a more progressive, melodic vibe."

This is the next release by PERCENT RECS. It was given to the very young producers from Italy - Aumrec.
The duo's distinctive mark in this release is their eccentric sound.
They create their sound under the influence of the artists Umek, Sven Väth, Jeff Mills... and will skillfully present it to the audience in the future.
It would be difficult to determine the exact category of these artists' music.
Deep, experimental, acid-minimal and techno are just a very small part of Aumrec's sounding in this release.
They boldly introduce to us their vision of contemporary electronic dance music. Aumrec's sounding is partly modern and brave but they've put a light, interesting flavour of the good, old Detroit techno.
This release is just for you if you happen to like either Cristian Vogel, Neil Landstrumm or Pacou.
You will have the opportunity to buy PERCENT RECS 03 from Beatport, Juno, DJShop and other online stores starting from 10 November 2009.
Line up: Moon Patrol [Clap Your Hands!] Randy Sausage [Disco Trash Club]
