Game Over, Mankind
On New Years Eve 1979, 11:59 pm, rather than looking at the fireworks I remember vividly staring at my brand new digital wristwatch and seeing 79 turn into 80. That particular memory I'll probably still have at my deathbed.
In 1989, aged 16 and having loved the 80's, but being quite anxious to get on with the 90's , I stayed the NYE home making music. Recent events in world politics, escalating to the end of the Cold War, seemed to project a beautiful new decade; a decade of reason and enlightenment. The future -my future included -looked promising.
The nineties mostly failed to cash in on the promises laid early on the decade (hip-house never making it to mainstream included), as did the much feared Y2K which lead a lot of people to stay in on NYE in 1999. I had moved to Helsinki the night before, and played "Millenniumrave" in there intended for 6'000 people. Five showed up.
Enter 2009.
2010: YEAR OF THE TIGA REMIX 12”

“For these remixes, I looked to Titans. Standing on the roof of my greenhouse, I called out, ‘Hey you, get off of that impossible cloud and into my car. We’re gonna drive all night ‘til we hit Remix City!’”

Turbo 074 : Mike Mind - Resonate
Mike Mind’s only previous release, 'Acid Machine,' has been Tiga's most played record since it was made. A full-time Turbo employee, he’s spent the past few years getting his brain around making techno, and continues to impress us with his output. His debut EP, “Resonate”, is something of a departure for our label, and one we’re very proud of.
It's amazing to have this kind of music coming directly out of Turbo HQ; it nails a sound that we've always tried to cultivate. Minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, and with just enough analog imperfection and warmth to it.
All three of the remixers we chose represent different sounds in techno that have influenced Mike's sound.

Monsieur Monsieur Interview
Ooooohhhh la la! Encore des Français...
Turbo interviews Monsieur Monsieur about their victory in the Peanuts Club remix contest.
Monsieur, Monsieur, first of all, thanks for an excellent remix! You were unanimously selected by Noob, Brodinski, Mike Mind, and myself as the winner out of 140 entries.
Is this the single greatest moment of your musical career? How old are you?
It’s one of the greatest moments in our musical career with our remix for the shoes signed on Green United Music . We are very proud and glad to have won this remix contest. We hope it’s not the last one.... ahaha. We are 21 years old.
Who would you rather remix, Tiga or Peter Gabriel? (This is OVO-era P-Gabe we're talking about.)
Definetly Tiga, because we ‘ve been addicted to his song for a long time now.
