There are so many quality releases hitting the site these days, I felt obliged to blog about at least one of them. The release I chose is called Remixed at 16:05, and it comes from the label 1605 Music Therapy. There are ten tracks on this release from the artists Umek, Loco & Jam, Miniminds, Dyno, Psycatron, Vladimir, Alex Long, Fergie, Ignas, Kastis Torrau, and Donatello, and every track is solid.

I actually hadn’t heard of the label 1605 Music Therapy, but I found out (by doing a bit of online research) that it’s Umek’s label. On the 1605 website, they give an interesting quote to convey the spirit of the label: “Created from collective vibe, stuffed with technology, open to your mood, effective on sucking it in. It makes you feel above, between, inside-extremely you. This feeling is based on 1605 Music Therapy. It helps to enjoy life. Period.” Interesting, right?

Remixed at 16:05 was featured on our site last week, and the first thing that caught my attention was the artwork. (See above.) There’s something funny to me about the creature depicted on the cover – the bow tie and jacket accompanying such deformed, odd-looking hands and feet…good stuff!

After being enticed by the artwork, I loaded the full album into our media player to check it out. (If you haven’t already done so, I recommend that you do the same thing now by clicking here.) The first track that plays is the Loco & Jam remix of “Destructible Environment,” and it’s a real head pounder. This track got my attention, and the rest of the album kept it from straying. This is my kinda techno – twisted stuff.

We’ve got tons of other great new stuff hitting our site and a whole new selection of labels joining our roster. I’ll let Seth, our Content Manager, fill you in on that…just stay tuned!
