After 6 years Time Warp is now one of Europe’s most important dance events, and so naturally comes the accompanying CD series – ‘Timewarp 06 mixed by Tiefschwarz’ features the current crop of electro tunes destined for success in 2006. Now one of the worlds most renowned DJ Teams, Alexander and Sebastian Schwarz first came up with the name Tiefschwarz, German for ‘deep black’, as a mixture of their last name and as a way to reflect their love for deep house music. Influenced by the vibrancy of the electro, techno and pop sounds coming out of Berlin, Ghent and Paris, via DJ’s and producers such as DJ Hell, Miss Kittin, The Hacker and Tiga all playing that dark, gothic techno sound. The double CD is a muscular blend of quality dark house and cool electro grooves that’s hitting a chord with a new generation of punked up club kids loving the post electroclash rave new world. This mix album is a reflection of that, featuring some of the electro scene’s biggest tracks – Ellen Alien “Down” / The Knife “Silent shout” / Lindstrom ‘I Feel Space’ / Bobby Peru ‘Erotic Discourse’ / Booka Shade ‘Mandarine Girl and Isolee ‘Schrapnell’. Timewarp 06 is Tiefschwarz only mix album this year and will be the key underground mix album of 2006.
