Dense

We wrote last week that we were back from the CTM festival, and here’s the proof, with a newsletter with goodies a’plenty for this week.

On the electronic front, the new Exillon album, accurately titled “It’s Ok To Dance” is available right now. And mind you, we liked so much his mixture of acid, IDM and electronica that we invited Exillon for his first German show ever, this Monday (February 11th) for a (free entrance) show at the NBI, together with Berlin’s Hecq and your Dense DJ team. Be there or be square.

Other highlights is an extensive selection from DJ Pinch‘s Tectonic label, featuring his own “Underwater Dancehall” album (in stock on both vinyl and CD). Straighter techno fans might rejoice as we got the new Cadenza releases and Ricardo Villalobos 3×12″ “Sei Es Drum”, while people who like it hard and fast will enjoy the new Rotator & Cardopusher and Ladyscraper records.

So, remember: see you on Monday at the NBI (in the Kulturbraeuerei in Prenzlauer Berg) for the Exillon and Hecq show. And before this, happy dense reading.
