The man-like-mountain of musical talent that is Carl Cox celebrates his label's fifth birthday in fine Intec style with this double-bubble offering, representing the best of what the label has to offer.

On CD1, the energetic mix-master Cox spins thirteen diverse tracks blended together in less than sixty pretty live-sounding minutes! Opening up his set with a prolific pace and a pushy percussive attitude, Carl introduces himself with the Oxia hit 'Troisieme' for five minutes of light techno treatment before the first Valentino Kanzyani tune of Cox's project, 'House Soul', enters the arena with a key-crazy melodic rattler. Deetron takes the mix deeper for Mr Cox with a fast paced (techno-tinged) 'Decipher Language' which is followed by Roger Watson's sweeter, jazzed up and vocal 'Love Is' - A different direction and some softer female vocals for Cox (with a much appreciated alternate angle to his tough, masculine techno beats) Things soon liven up with a jacking, funky cut by Bryan Zentz full of disco flavour, which is quickly forced into a top hypnotic track by Trevor Rockcliffe and given a twisted 2004 Remix.

Past halfway now and the mix goes mental with tunes by artists like Destination, Franssen vs. Lowdown and Smith & Selway. Tomaz & Filterheadz finally bring some famous Sunshine into the darkened mix with a Carl Cox Remix. Then there's Marco Bailey bashing out his drums, while DJ C1 continues the deep groove with his own spooky 'Spiritual Man Part 1' track. Deetron finally finishes up Carl's mix by providing some super cyber-funk and twisted techno-tronic jazz.

The other thirty-minute (exclusive) mix is smoothly formulated, groovy and full of fun with musical company issued by Leandro Gamez and Renato Cohen. Oh, and there's more of the truly talented Trevor Rockcliffe, Bryan Zentz, Oxia, Valentino Kanzyani and Intec's own boss DJ C1 too!


not to sure on release date.
 
good stuff robo.

just one thing though with coxy.........his mixing in the last few years has gone a litte off. He used to be very smooth with his mixing and interestingly, the reviewer from expander also noted that with this CD.

He's still a legend in my books, but it's something i've noticed lately.
 
Brand new Carl Cox mix CD set for release.

Carl Cox needs little introduction; the man has been at the forefront of the global dance scene for over twenty years. From the early orbital raves of the 80s through to the international club scene of today, he has consistently rocked the party with energy, passion and a commitment that few others can come near to matching. This is the first label compilation from Intec Records and marks five years of landmark releases.

Intec Records was set up by DJs Carl Cox and DJ C1 in 1999 to capture and represent the blossoming international techno and house scenes. Eschewing a defined sound in favour of an open-minded agenda, Intec was quick to pick up on the cream of upcoming international producers such as Christian Smith, John Selway, Bryan Zentz, Deetron, Oxia, Trevor Rockcliffe and Marco Bailey. This international outlook has given the label a loyal fanbase across the globe and has resulted in sell out Intec shows and an insatiable appetite for Intec releases. So much so that the Tomaz & Filterheadz – ‘Sunshine' release has gone onto sell well over 25K copies and along with most of the back-catalogue it continues to sell well today. The Carl Cox remix of ‘Cohen & Deluxe – Just Kick!' also gatecrashed the national charts recently and has been an awesome international hit for the label!

Here are Carl's thoughts on the album and the concept behind Intec Records:

“Since 1994 I have had 3 record labels. Why, because I have always wanted to have a label where I could put out the music, which is dear to me. I feel passionately about this music and all the artists on Intec. Over the years I have put out a lot of music, but it is only now, after five years, that I feel the record label this has come of age - this is INTEC.

When I look back on how it all started, DJ C1 and myself had an idea to put out the best music we could lay our hands on and to take a world-wide approach to releasing records, hence the label title, INTERNATIONAL TECHNO MUSIC…..INTEC! for short. And then the label was born. The idea of the label was and still is to develop artists, and I think that we have done just that with all the artists on INTEC over these last five years. I strongly believe in all the music that we've released and there is still so much more to come.

The DJ mix on this album has come from the heart, as I think that the tracks I have chosen have been some of the very best INTEC moments in the history of the label. I smiled whilst mixing every track knowing that each piece of music has touched someone somewhere throughout the world. I am very proud of this mix especially because it includes those seminal tunes like, Oxia's – ‘Troisieme',b> Smith& Selway's – ‘Arrive', Roger Watson's – ‘Love is…', Deetron's – ‘Miss Suave' and Trevor Rockcliffe's – ‘Visions of You', plus many more great tracks that may have been overlooked

The future of INTEC is looking good with new tracks coming from DJ C1, Christian Varela, Marco Bailey, Leandro Gamez, Roger Watson and of course Bryan Zentz. Well it has been a long road but it has been worth it. I hope this album will bring joy and happiness to whoever buys this album, welcome to our world of music.”
