1. WONDERLAND 9 (8) CENSOR 100%
OK, Samso (BRUTAL party) is over and

mixture of outfit,design,code and music
ever made!!!

Swallow

Hi and welcome to the rave page done by
your lonely homeboy LATEX/WONDERLAND
LATEX/WONDERLAND.
OK I won't bore you with some facts
'bout my person so I'll begin right now!
TECNOTRON (TECNOTRON)
TECNOTRON (TECNOTRON)
(Incognito Records, USA)
Oh yeah, the underground label INCOGNITO
is getting better and better. Again they
managed it to release a fab 12" which
has the full kickfactor. The aside mix
is fast and even owns some real good
breakbeats. Normally I don't like such
kind of breaks but this time its OK.
The B-side is the same track only with
the difference that the guys mixed
sum acid basslines under the track!
Very cool!
Both mixes 83%
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
WELCOME TO FUTURE (ESKIMO & EGYPT)
WELCOME TO FUTURE (ESKIMO & EGYPT)
(One little Indian records, UK)
The first mix is called Reggae Metal and
is really a hard crossover to metal.
You can hear a crazy metal guitar all
the time in this mix. Some 'll like it
and some not. The 2nd mix named Turbo
Metal is the same like the 1st but
of coz harder. OK this was the Aside and
now have a look at the Bside. The first
tune is Dhax Fyuw4tcher (what a strange
name, eh?) and this is the real Techno
version of Welcome to Future. Cool
samples, a kickin bass and a spaci
sequencer. Not bad. The 12" ends with
Living Colour which is a ugly song
contains some rap and a womanvoice
saying some words of the future. Not
my cup of tea!
Reggae Metal Mix 57%
Turbo Metal Mix 58%
Dhax Fyuw4cher 58%
Living Colour 12%

XYLEM TUBE EP (APHEX TWIN)
XYLEM TUBE EP (APHEX TWIN)
(R|S, NL)

technohouse. All four tracks are great
and if you hear the tracks you'll
know the spirit of technohouse.

This EP means monoton frequences in
fulleffect. This kind of house is
real cool coz ya can fall in trance
if you hear such tracks one hour or even
longer. On this EP you can find hard
basslines, Acid and some spaceeffects.
Not a Techno number but a kickin house
release.
