Review: Anastasia Kristensen debuts on Turbo with an unusual take on techno. "I'd Love To Do It" revolves around a grinding, ebm rhythm and features breathy vocals. It represents a new direction for Kristensen and is unlike most contemporary club tracks. She gets back to what she is best known for with the title track, where a sheet metal rhythm, pounding kicks and a gut-busting bass are to the fore. Meanwhile, "Paradox & Puzzle" is a more stripped back affair. Populated by bleeps and raw analogue riffs, it may be a million miles away from "I'd Love To..." but it still has the desired effect.

Review: Following his recent Chiral long player on Nous'klaer Audio, Martinou debuts on Turbo. "Getting Into It" opens the EP in atmospheric mode with serene synths and ambient textures. "I Told You We'd Make It" also has an ethereal sensibility, but it is wrapped into a lithe, techy rhythm. Plotting a similar path on "Exhilaration", Martinou drops dubbed out drums, which act as the backdrop for waves of brooding chords. "The Offering" is the only outlier on the release. On this occasion, the kicks are tougher and the bass clangs with a metallic swagger - the end result is a lean, hypnotic techno track.

Review: Twenty-five years is a long time in any field. In the fast-moving world of electronic music, it's practically an eternity. That Turbo has managed not just to last that long but also to remain fresh says a lot about Tiga's immaculate A&Ring. On Turbo 25, we see the form this takes. There's "You So Pretty", his cheeky electro collaboration with long-time Turbo collaborator Jori Hulkkonen. Audion and Seth Troxler also celebrate the landmark anniversary with the searing techno of "Hate", while The Hacker goes down the industrial route with the slamming "Forcefield". Tiga continues to flirt with pop with the Soulwax edit of "Woke". However, the fact that he has commissioned Gesloten Cirkel of Murder Capital fame to rework "Easy" means he remains as connected as ever with techno and electro's underground. Here's to the next quarter century.

Review: Following the 2020 EP, Mean Machine, Kenny Glasgow returns to Turbo with another deep and distinctive release. "Position Fatale" is based around a wiry, acid-laced rhythm, with this backing providing the basis for Glasow to layer in tripped out vocals and sweeping chords. On "Loco Juice", he opts for an opaque sound design. Led by dense drums, it features swirling, textured chords and an undeniably atmospheric sensibility. "Planet" sees him draw on Detroit techno for inspiration. Lush strings and haunting chords build over a subtle, rolling groove, making for the high point in a near flawless EP that'll appeal to house and techno fans alike.

Review: Hand In Hand is one of Tiga and Kolsch's irregular collaborative releases. Issued earlier this year, it now gets the remix treatment. Rebuke, who has released on Drumcode and Hot Creations, turns it into a big room affair. Built on a rolling, rickety rhythm and powered by whooshing filters, it also features the original version's vocal transformed into an ominous refrain. The end result is a dreamy, evocative deep house jam.

Review: Hand In Hand, a unique collaborative release between Tiga and Kolsch, first graced our ears earlier this year, leaving an indelible impression on the electronic music landscape. Now, with the remix treatment, we are treated to a refreshing reimagining of this remarkable track. Priori took control of it and stands out with its marked departure from the original, offering a delightful and mesmerizing sonic journey. Embracing a more subdued and melancholic tone, Priori's remix centers around stripped-back beats and evocative synth sweeps. The remix seamlessly incorporates the original version's alluring vocals, but it is within Priori's atmospheric musical elements that the magic truly unfolds.

Review: It's been five years since Kolsch and Tiga's last collaboration. In that period, a lot has changed, musically and socially. But while the pandemic is over, the art of writing a catchy tune endures. The title track is an epic affair that is sure to become an end of night closer title track. Underpinned by a jacking rhythm, it features Tiga's voice married to a gently undulating synth melody. "Almost Everything" is just as infectious but more mellow. On this occasion, the dissected vocals are scattered over a squelchy bass, dreamy chords and firing percussion. It makes for a beautiful, evocative track that, like "Hand In Hand", is sure to ignite dance floors.

Review: Continuing the partnership that yielded 2020's Velvet Sky Of Dreams, Tiga hooks up again with Hudson Mohawke. "Easy" is a raucous affair, with barrelling drums, pitch-bent effects and a deadpan vocal documenting late-stage capitalism's obsession with fast, easy money. Factor in squelching stabs and unexpected drops and it's clear that this collaboration has yielded another big, distinctive tune. The release also features "There Is No Distance Between Us"; more frenetic than the title track, it sees the Turbo boss draw on techno influences. Powered by a driving rhythm and insistent percussion, the arrangement also plays host to muffled vocals, with these elements coming together to form a dense, urgent workout.

Review: Turbo Recordings and Club Sexor chief Tiga is back, and getting straight down to business on new single "Easy" which is a wonky, off-kilter stomper that's perfect for those heads-down moments on the dancefloor. He heads to Brazil on second offering "There Is No Distance Between Us" featuring a sweltering Sergio Mendez style drum breakdown that leads into a trippy minimal techno groove, complete with Tiga's own vocals taking you deeper into the morning hours.

Review: Consumed was Richie Hawtin's brooding magnum opus as Plastikman from the late 90s, and this new version sees Chilly Gonzales provide piano accompaniment to the tracks. On "Contain", this contribution takes the form of keys that float over the original version's throbbing bass, while Gonzales splatters "Consume" with effortless, jazzy piano touches. While in some instances these additions augment the original version, at other times the new elements occupy the foreground and augment minimalist Hawtin compositions like "Cor Ten" or the rickety rhythms and resonating pulses of "Ekko" and "Converge". Understated in its approach and execution, Consumed (In Key) is a home listening masterpiece.

Review: This third volume of the Twin Turbo compilation is a timely reminder of Turbo's consistency when it comes to delivering varied dance music. The TRACE7000 remix of Jakwob's "Feel So Good" is a pulsating, acidic track, while Kill Frenzy ups the intensity levels with the swampy electronics and ghetto jack of "Follow Me". In contrast, ANNA's "Artha" is a sleek affair, its linear rhythm supporting tranced out rhythms, while on "Build Up Your House", Hoshina Anniversary delivers a modern take on Chicago jack, with repetitive vocals underpinned by a grainy rhythm. Label owner Tiga also makes an appearance, with Dense & Pika delivering a techy take on his version of Public Enemy's "Louder Than A Bomb".

Review: Next up on Turbo is an unusual pairing, with Vietnamese producer Dubesque teaming up with the iconic Amanda Lepore. The title track is a stripped back techy affair, with moody vocal snatches set to bleak synths and rasping percussion. Lepore makes an appearance on "Queen". While Dubeque's arrangement is in a similar albeit more stripped back field as "Head", the refrain that Lepore delivers - 'I'm the queen / I make the rules' - really elevates the track across the radio and club mixes. On "BRB", Dubesque flies solo, with phased riffs filtered over a slamming groove - rounding off another highly distinctive release on Tiga's label.

Review: Techno heavyweights Tiga and Matthew Dear team up again for the first time since 2013's massive anthem "Let's Go Dancing". According to Tiga the Turbo chief "This Is a Dream' is 'an epic poem, an immunity passport to the boundless dimensions that lay beyond the veil of slow wave sleep'. A tunneling and low-slung trip in its original format, it gets some killer reworks here by some of the scene's current luminaries. The ever impressive Terr works her sonic magic once again with a ravey indie-dance perspective, while Russian Nocow delivers two hard hitting and surefire remixes.

Review: Ever reliable New York City duo The Martinez Brothers (Cuttin' Headz) teamed up with Turbo Recordings boss Tiga last year, on the classic house inspired jam "Cleopatra". Tiga was originally meant to produce tracks for the DJ duo, but the sessions soon evolved into a full-fledged collaboration. Several months later, we can now enjoy some terrific remix action and the trio weren't shy - calling on some respected names to perform their take on the track. First up is the inimitable Ricardo Villalobos his version which is as minimal, hypnotic and tripped-out as you'd expect, while the version by Virgil Abloh of "Blessed" sees the US fashion designer, entrepreneur and DJ go for a dusty urban inspired vibe.

Review: As Turbo reaches its 20th anniversary, Tiga's label delivers remixes of the track that propelled him to global recognition. First up is Dense & Pika, who turn "Sunglasses" into a relentless, pounding tribal track that only includes the nasal vocal from Tiga's original version. Next up is rising electro star Dimitri Veimar, with rolling 808s, steely snares and the kind of menacing bass that has seen the Russian producer feature on Turbo and Omndisc. In this instance, it's the creepy synth line that remains and helps to make this version unforgettable. Techno Seleba is apparently a pseudonym for a big name dance producer working incognito, but irrespective of who is behind the project, this remix is an eerie, percussive take on the synth-pop standard.

Review: Turbo fans will be aware of Tiga's "Stay Cool" collaboration with Clarian from earlier this year, and now the label commissions a group of great remixes. Beton's take pulsates seductively to the sound of a throbbing bass, while on the Eats Everything remix, firing percussion and a belching low end combine to underpin the original version's hypnotic vocals. By contrast, Gerd Janson's interpretation puts a focus on searing acid lines, pitch-bent vocals and a smart use of snare rolls. On the ABSOLUTE remix, "Stay Cool" edges closer to the type of low-slung electro house that Tiga first became known for, while Dimitri Veimar's take is a more noisy iteration of this approach.
