The infamous PLANET RHYTHM imprint is celebrating it's 20th anniversary in 2014. 20' naturally is a landmark-age and shows the label's ongoing persistence and hunger to catch the right beat. Over the years many sounds within the Techno genre have been showcased on this warm and respected home. Coincidentally' the label (now situated in Rotterdam) just got onto a new a new flock of producers making their way into the crates of respected DJ's and like minded people wordwide.
The launch of PRRUKBLK001 truly represents a new chapter in the already substantial past of one of the most respected techno labels around. The label's head honcho - who took over from Glenn Wilson more than a decade ago- has appointed Ukrainian up and comer ''Woo York'' as one of the curators for the years to come. While of course the label's longtime artists will appear on the forthcoming efforts also Woo York will freshen up the label's image by searching for that typical PPRUK sound with a more 2014 approach. PRRUKBLK001 is the perfect kick-off for the new series.
Woo York showcases his significant style on the opening track Acidic Uniformity which is as the title suspects a dance floor blast completely drenched with a soaring Acid line. The sophomore track ''Contact Point'' also by Woo York' is a firmly produced dark track with a lot of drum variations and effects it effectively completes the A - Side before moving on to the somewhat more rough work by
''Claudio PRC & Ness'' who cleverly open the B side with an uplifting anthem that's laced up with a firm kick and some other -worldly pads. For the closing down of this 12'' Claudio PRC & Ness go off-beat with staggering atmospheres for the dancefloor oriented ''Cogas''.
