Search - Various Artists :: Toolroom Knights: Umek

2010 was an exceptional year for the Slovenian artist and 1605 record label boss Umek. Widely regarded as one of the most influential players in the global techno scene and a true pioneer of forward thinking electronic music, it was a year that saw him pack out the biggest clubs and land numerous download chart topping releases including Back In The Race and OMGWTF . Consistently creating a cutting edge sound that continues to evolve and remain at the forefront of an ever shifting market, Toolroom are delighted to announce Umek as the next DJ to preside over the latest in our Toolroom Knights compilation series. Featuring no less than 8 album exclusives, 36 carefully selected tracks in total, Umek doesn t hold back as the gauntlet is laid down for a twisted, fast paced techno masterclass. So, fasten your seatbelts and brace yourself for an aural onslaught that will leave you battered, bruised but begging for more... Toolroom Knights Mixed by Umek features 2 exclusives by the main man himself, with the first being his collaboration with PHNTM Dead Space , a nod towards his groovier side whilst Sarajevo is filled with funky dance floor flavours. Key highlights of the album are undoubtedly Phunk Investigation s relentless Wall Of Sound and the pulsating Red Ryder from Hertz which quite literally rips through the speakers with a violent bassline forming the equivalent of a heavy blow to the back of the skull. Christian Cambas The Robospanker and Traumer s Rolling Life continue the driving grooves whilst That Body by Da Fresh and Mike Spaccavento s That s Done It conjure up deep, early morning, heads down monsters. Notable entries also include Michael Woods Nitro , Koen Groeneveld CVR , Funkagenda Astana , Riva Starr s remix of Butch s XTC plus further tracks from ThreeSixty, Matteo DiMarr, Adam K and a whole load more.
