French whiz kid Bobmo returns with three tracks of full-on electro damage (not Norwegian black metal covers of AM radio favorites, as the cover would suggest). A-side has the heavy raver "Rock The" and skiddish acid synth workout "Legally Dead For 4'31,"...   click for more

Bobmo is another Parisian youngster, following in the footsteps of his label mate (and fellow supposed 10-year old) Surkin. If you couldn't tell from the Day-Glo colors and smiley faces on the cover, this is some more of that "nu rave" the...   click for more

Previously available on limited green vinyl 10" from Institubes, this digi release features the standout track from Bobmo's debut EP, the quasi-Bmore stylings of "To The Bobmobile." The real gold is on the B-side (actually, the "K" side) which has an exclusive...   click for more

Don't be quick to group this in with all the other french-electro that's been coming out these days, 'cause this one is truly exceptional. Curses! is the mysterious alter ego of Brooklyn bass monster Drop The Lime (who has been keeping ridiculously...   click for more

Second single from the In Ghost Colours album. In the usual Modular fashion, the track gets tricked out with remixes from currently on-fire producers. Tapping into current 80s trends, Calvin Harris goes retro-electro boogie on his version. Similarly the Midnight Juggernauts go...   click for more

I don't know if you're ready for this. I'm not sure I'm ready for this. Institubes have niched themselves as a forward-thinking dance label and this is some of the hardest music I've heard from them yet. Das Glow is neu-rave maximus...   click for more

Hard to believe when listening, but David Rubato's storming electro monster "Circuit" was recorded completely live in one take then edited down to two seperate but equally powerful tracks. The five minute edit cuts right to the point, with power electronics squealing...   click for more

Smash on, my fellow electro heads! This new one from Institubes artist MSK features "Lunar," along with "Side Story," a dark warehouse electro noise grinder that's sure to have fans breaking their bodies. "Lunar" is a square bass, vocal chop,...   click for more

Stand out selections from Para One's "Epiphanie" full length from '06. Check the Parisian crunk action on "Beat Down" with guest raps from Orgasmic, TTC and Tes. And if you can't get down with the French language raps, go for the instrumental...   click for more

Whoa. Busdriver and Para One on the same track? I guess if Teki Latex is teaming up with Devin the Dude, why the hell not?! Para One delivers a killer double time beat that bounces with sprinkly arpeggiated synths on "Severed God...   click for more

Special Digital Edition: this release also features the 12" remixes by MSTRKRFT, Riton, Adam Kesher, Surkin, Boyz Noise, and Beckett & Taylor; plus the bonus track "Les Abeilles." Para One's debut LP from 2006. After following this guy's production and remixes for a...   click for more

French electro prodigy Surkin returns with an expanded remix single of 2006's "Radio Fireworks." First up, Surkin re-envisions his original title track with plenty of 909 action. Next up, Institubes honcho Tacteel remixes "Kiss And Fly." There's a big room remix by...   click for more

Surkin is yet another young Parisian hotshot, and in addition to the original production here, he's remixed such folk as DJ Mehdi, Boys Noize, Klaxons and Teki Latex. The EP's title track appears here twice: once as the demo style "Beta Version"...   click for more

Parisian whiz kid Surkin continues to impress with his latest batch of tracks for Institubes. This EP includes the bumping 90s house style of "White Knight Two," the glimmering midtempo title track (with nasty chopped up vox), some Ed Banger flavor on...   click for more

Surkin is the young Jedi to look out for in the whole French electro / rave ghetto cut-up circuit. The kid has got serious skills (as proved with the Ghetto Obsession 12" and slept-on mix he did for the Institubes blog) and...   click for more
