Electric Deluxe Label Feature on Ibiza Voice
We like to keep our finger on the pulse with our 'In the groove...' series, we've often featured labels with just a handful of releases that are so en vogue that we just have to talk about them. This week's pick, Electric Deluxe has elements of influence that are both old and new.
Started in 2008 by techno veteran Jochem Paap - known to me and you as Speedy J - Electric Deluxe was the Dutchman's return to label management after a break of over a decade since the short lived, but productive, output of his former imprint Beam Me Up! in the mid 90s.
With almost 10 releases in a under 2 years, the policy here is carte blanche. Artists like Tommy Four Seven and Terence Fixmer, as well as Speedy Jhimself of course, have "a platform to operate within any conceivable genre in the broad spectrum of techno and to fully explore and embrace ever-expanding technological possibilities". Moreover, there is that maturity and wisdom here, the antithesis of Beatport top 10s and the like, to allow producers complete creative expression without compromise; an opportunity to do the things they perhaps always wanted, but never got the chance, to do.

Comedy of Menace Pt 1 Review on RA
The darkness in Terence Fixmer's techno is well-earned. The French producer has long been interested in EBM, fusing the two genres for DJ Hell in the early '00s and forming a group with Nitzer Ebb vocalist Douglas McCarthy soon after that. In working with a singer, though, Fixmer also has had plenty of experience with the dynamic tension between clean and dirty—the push/pull of dank background and bright foreground. You can hear both at work on the first official EP in advance of Fixmer's newest full-length, his debut for Speedy J's Electric Deluxe imprint.
The repeated melody in "Things Are Over" is a squealer, the sort of fire alarm bleeps that only make sense as pleasure within the context of techno. Despite the elements, it bounces like a Chicago house track, but you'd be forgiven for not noticing: Someone is saying something like the title of the song in a masked voice that is pure techno. The clean edges of A-side "Drastik" are almost too perfect, which makes Planetary Assault Systems B-side remix almost necessary. You can hear the core of Fixer's hypnotic and buffed original, but only once you've burrowed down beneath layers of grit.

"Right tool for the job" Featuring Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Terence Fixmer + Electric Deluxe
There’s no hard-and-fast definition of a “DJ tool”. To the DJ, all records, in some sense, are simply implements for getting the job done. But there’s a category of tracks that are more functional than others, from sound effects to drum sequences to full-length cuts that make a virtue of their simplicity.
They’re usually meant to be layered and looped, rather than played on their own, and that’s never been easier than it is now, thanks to the advanced functionality of today’s digital DJ technology.
We’ve put together 13 charts—that’s 130 tracks—drawing from some of the coolest tools around, from labels like Dubfire’s SCI+TEC Digital Audio, Luciano’s Cadenza Split Composition, Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe, and Butane and Someone Else’sLittle Helpers. There’s another shed’s worth of implements from an assortment of producers, including Kenny Dope, Carlo Lio, Dinky, Bedrock, John Daly, and dozens more.
Here, you’ll find the tools you need to hammer the crowd into submission, screw with their brains, or drill deep into their souls. Remember: if you build it, they will come.

Terence Fixmer Album "Comedy Of Menace" on Electric Deluxe in September
***Breaking News*** New album titled 'Comedy Of Menace' due for release this September through Speedy J's Electric Deluxe Label. The first single from the album is due to be relelased mid June and will feature a Planetary Assault Systems remix.
Speedy J' comments: "What I like about Terence as an artist and the music on this album is that it has a lot of personality and vision that I don't hear in much other music. Terence operates in his own space. It's raw, with a clear direction, it contains elements of techno but it is clear that Terence puts things in a larger context. To me the music on the album is simple to understand yet deep and rich with elements that refer to a much broader vision of electronic music than most other stuff that is being released. In that sense it's a true electric deluxe album."
