Matador continues with their electronic music barage
with the first release from their new signing:
. Khan: 1-900-Get-Khan cd/2x12" (Matador)
The full-length debut from Khan (aka Can Oral), a
Turkish/German New Yorker whose prior works under
the names 4E, GLOBAL ELECTRONIC NETWORK,
H.E.A.D., BIZZ OD, GIZZ TV and collaborations with
DR. WALKER have established him as a worldwide force
in electronic music. This new effort functions as an imaginary
soundtrack through a world of sex, sleaze and spooky
goings-on. Blends of minimal techno, exotica, neo-etherea,
retro-futurism and other stuff. Guest vocals on two tracks
by Julee Cruise.

More Telex remixes...
Hot on the footsteps of the first volume, and of the
slammin' Carl Craig/Jay Denham remix 12", SSR
is releasing a second album full of choice cuts from
the catalogue of legendary Belgian electro-disco-pop
icons from the early 80's, reworked by a host of top
producers.
It's a combination of driving club tracks (the Stacey
Pullen, Ian Pooley, DJ D, Maurice Fulton, Eddie
Flashin' Fowlkes and T-Power mixes) and of electro-
pop tracks (Buckfunk 3000, The Tellurians [Rainy
City], Pulsinger/Tunakan), while some of them even
stay close to a classic pop song structure (Morgan
Geist, Juan Atkins, Seven Dub).
