"Ralph Sliwinski has been producing electronic music since he first got his hands on a Commodore 64 in 1990. A fan of powerful electronic groups such as Visage, Soft Cell and Front 242 as a teenager, Ralph has since gone on to release a number of important records on labels as diverse as Hartchef Discos, Below Records and Morris Audio. With a sound spectrum that ranges from deep house and tribal tech-house to straight up techno, all of Ralph's productions are distinctively endowed with an infectious dancefloor appeal. No less on A-side 'Boutique Orange,' where a central throbbing percussion is submerged in a swampy ambience, enlivened by insectoid hisses and rattles. A subtle climb is fueled by a beat of evolving complexity and ever-intensifying synth pads. The B-side 'Less Varayd' is defined by an ever transforming hypnotic shuffled beat and argumentative samples that become more clear as the track progresses. An echoed metallic tone polices proceedings, releasing tension just when the mix threatens to boil over."

"The latest Num release sees a collaboration between Swiss based odd couple, Lad & Dave The Hustler. 'Era Bulgaris' opens with a dominant choral chant that brings to mind the work of Dead Can Dance and Arvo Pärt. The track soon transforms into an infectious tech house floor filler, with lively synth hooks and heavy percussion injecting pace and depth. 'Era Bulgaris (Quenum Mix)' takes things even deeper. Chopping up the choral motif, Quenum transforms the track with restless IDM percussion and punching bass."

"Halland is a collaborative project between Stockholm's Elias Landberg and Martin Skogenhall. Their first release together gathers the best ingredients of their solo work to make an entirely different cake, producing lively and deep electronic techno. Brimming with hooks and invention, this masterful work pays fitting homage to the notoriously dextrous Ginger Lynn (don't Google it at work). A-side 'Ginger' finds the perfect balance between melodic electronica passages, static pulse and a shuffled percussive push. Catchy and imaginative, the bustle is complimented by a resonant melodic backdrop. B-side 'Lynn' is the deeper of the two, with a Detroit edge to its cold and echoed melodies. A hook crawls from out of the darkness, leading to a floor-seducing climax."

"Dachshund is now considered as the Geneva city's techno scene top new comer but has a long experience in sound making. His love for music first led him to play in a reggae band and then dub happened to be the real revelation. He has also been a pioneer of the Geneva drum & bass scene and spent 10 years as a d'n'b DJ, producer and promoter. Our favorite dog is not busy at doing nothing, oh no no no... the man comes again with a wonderful 12" on Num Records. Ever grooving structures and rhythms are part of the dog's arsenal, thus adding the intelligent techno influences in his sound and the boy is striking hard once again. Shaking beats, dance appealing techno hooks, dubbed-out basslines, and a very detailed production are all the ingredients Dachshund is including, and its best served hot. A 5-star choice clubber meal for sure!"

"There's no secrets this time; it is indeed a joined venture from Pan-Pot and the ever groovy Sweet'n'Candy. The A Side, 'At The Deep End' is wonderfully tinted with superb dub influenced patterns and sonic elements, sparkling with distorted and pitched vocals, cleverly deep (it is back for sure!). the A side will deliver its full potential in cozy clubs as well as bigger venues. Joyfully colored with the actual modern ways of building a jacking piece of music, small perfectly dropped little percussive sounds, this track will jack and jack. The B side 'Counting Lines' seek for something and sure finds it; your sweat. Delightful deeper beat, dubby bassline in full effect, male vocal inviting for the 'Quest of the hidden Clubber' enveloping the ever reminding kick drum knocking all along. Simply put, this is Premium modern dance music. Shining small and beautifully laid down background elements give this track all listeners a pure deeper feeling. Seek with us!"

"Its official, Phil Kieran is a main contributor to global warming. He's been raising temperatures in the world's biggest and most revered clubs for 7 years now, emitting a toxic mix of techno, house and electro. Phil is delivering here a club storm, deeply techno rooted the track features some ground breaking twistery and unmatched dance appeal. None happy to be already very massive, the track is a real journey through simple and very cleverly managed modern techno. Reduced, but still in full effect, get your kickoff it and shake. In full effect, Dachshund, the tiny little happy dog from Geneva comes from a very atypical musical background. Who cares, he is for sure one of the best surprises of late 2006. Stompin' kick and shaking percussive elements invite you to do the water games with the doggy boy! And the dog is filling the floors with this incredibly deep and ever-sustaining track. Unmatched groove, super tight productions, breathtaking breaks and ultra modern sound sculptures."

"Clear as crystal, the man of the moment, Dario Zenker is finally giving us a follow up of his brilliant former Num Records release. The Munich techno machinery strikes here again with a smashing deep and incredibly organic record. As always with the youngster, the music presented here is of the most intelligent and future-minded kind. Playing along with cymbals, manufactures sounding aliens at work behind the ever knocking and dance-reminding kick drum. With its former release on Num Records hammered out loud by Mr. Richie Hawtin, we bet this one will be played even stronger. Sick breaks, sparkling arrangements and production skills from beyond everything known to date, Dario represent its own deserved part of contemporary techno music, the Dario style... three marvelous tracks are present on the EP, three floor bombs for sure. And it sounds massive while at another end, clearly includes the entire Dario's talent at rendering living and magical pieces of music...This EP just overcomes everything. Stay true to your style and get it recognized!"

"And again, Num Limited is very charmed to present another floor shaker. This time it's a pure Swiss product... Ripperton teaming up with Agnès. Ripperton is already known for his project Lazy Fat People, his numerous releases on his own name as well as countless former projects. Agnès who's as well responsible for numerous critically well-received releases met Ripperton during a party held in Geneva where they both were invited to DJ and the two danced as much behind the decks as the crowd on the floor. Funny start for the 1st meeting you'll say, and that's exactly what happened concerning this EP. The two just simply thought that they could have as much fun in the studio, and this is exactly what happened, believe us. This record presents two tracks, one signed by Mr. Ripperton himself and a 2nd signed by Agnès & Ripperton. Delicately placed details and sweetly chosen sparks conclude this 2-tracker and bonus tool as a really modern dance music weapon every DJ case shall be filled with..."

"Is there any need to introduce you to Exercise One? They are simply the incredibly advanced modern techno 'duo human core' powered machinery from Berlin. And they were dual powered way before it was trendy, believe us... None more happy to produce some of the most effective and sparkling minimal techno to date on many critically acclaimed releases, the duo also delivers one of the most mindblowing live-acts to date. It is of course with no surprise that the talented two's are now showing up with a superb EP on Num Records. 'Where Is My Keyboard?' grooves in full effect -- this huge club clash is definitely a wild smash. Tight as a teenager, the Exercise One twenty gold fingers did it again. Wild and groovy beats, including the personally loved shuffled hi-hats, a bouncy and catchy bassline that evolves all along the track. Crazy processed sound effects and not the least a swinging and blasting techno hook to get on the floor even the most shy of you. Where is their keyboard? We don't know... we just know that this track rocks with or without keyboard...'A Night Like This' superbly introduced with wizardry and magic, this eight minutes journey into the Exercise One definition of the night will render anyone accorded. We dance, they dance, everybody's dancing. A dubbed-out minimal techno anthem that once is not lesson sounds truly analogical."

"And here it goes, the Num Records back catalog, full of pearls, is now getting a face lift a la Jane Fonda and all this by an incredible bunch of modern minimal techno activists from the three corners of the world. For this first remixed 12" release on Num Records, the chosen original materials concerns the previously released The Joint Echo, originally written & produced by the Num Records grounding team; Lee Van Dowski & Quenum. And it starts with a groovy and rattling invitation to the depths of modern club action with the incredibly talented up and coming Swiss producer; Dachshund. On the flip side Jacek Sienkiewicz, the owner of Recognition Records, invite us for a Polish morning dance anthem. And last but certainly not least, the man with the eternal smile, the shining Toronto international DJ/producer, Jeremy P. Caulfield enlightens our darkness with tight as ever production skills."

"This is probably from Switzerland, actually we don't know who this is: a link to the master recordings was sent to us by email, from 'Nope.' So what? Apparently, there are three different versions of the same track (for all we know, it could be three different producers!) and it's pretty good, so we made a special limited label just for those good surprises. The elements: short, industrial-like percussive loops and a plaintive whistle sounding off in the background, seemingly out of tune with everything, like an alien melody. The first version has a shifting beat, as if two loops slowly got out of sync and ended up bouncing off each other somewhere in the middle and meeting again at the end, but in an inverted world, everything turned upside-down. The second is a reduced jam with subtle micro-arrangements that's deep and straight as an arrow, with a beat you can trust. The third version is a totally sexy finger-snapping hipshaker of a groove that will have dancers moonwalk right across the floor faster than you can pronounce its bizarre title."

"Practically entitled resident at his Munich hometown's mythical Ultraschall club just as he was old enough to be allowed inside, 'super-Dario' remains at the controls of Munich's top clubs and is now producing fine music on a variety of underground labels. His Make Up EP released on Num Records is a subtle techno 4-tracker with a particularly deep sense of space and atmosphere, it's sharp beats bathed in warm, spooky, mental sounds. Disc opener 'Felder' layers wild percussions and drops bubbling mystery sounds that give the track a haunted and suspense-heavy vibe, while the apparently plain Chicago house grooves of a track like 'Fruitlup' can lead to some truly alien breakdowns. Using the highest frequencies without ever disturbing your ear, 'Konstress' is a complex yet funky number with classic hi-hat action. Miles from the overexcited banging one could expect from a young new artist, it's scary good."

"2 endless bleep techno tracks from Geneva! Part 1 goes raw & dirty, heavy jackin' house style, ruff hihats, hypnotics bleeps, liquid fx and insane spoken words. This shit is dedicated to party freaks and will please any crowd. On flip side, 'Dreaming Surfaces' is a masterpiece of trippy deep techno focused on movements & details: Drone soundscape, melancholic analog synth and subaquatic bass."

"On his own label, widely considered as a stripped-down, more dancefloor-friendly version of Cadenza, Lee is at home and kickstarts the new year with more futuristic digital rock'n'roll -- without the ego posturing, we're talking 'faceless techno bollocks' -- for those who know. Well, techno's pretty much the new rock isn't it, minus the vocals sometimes -- then again, there are many instrumental bands. You know, it's got heavy electronic riffs in loops, rising and falling, reaching intense climaxes followed by breakdowns. So bang your head to the ruthless buildups and outlandish, cosmic breakdowns of 'The Darkened Component' on the A side, and consider 'face B' as another A side: 'Endonet' immediately grabs you with a darker atmosphere, a droning, menacing synth and nasty metallic bleeps. Starting from and returning to a confined and intimate space, all sounds expand to arena-size proportions in-between."
