We are both pleased and proud to be releasing a new album by Mayerling, 'Roche'. More than five years have gone by since we collaborated with the talented musician behind the project, Sylvain Bombled - who, like HITD itself, hails from Besançon, France - and put out his first brilliant album 'Cut up'.

It's more electronic and bold than the first album... less traditional, more adventurous. The guitar has given way to synths and other analogue sequencers. As for the vocals, they have all but disappeared, as though the listener should be left to be totally taken in by the beguiling, trippy graphic powers and cinematic quality of the new compositions. These ambient hymns reveal something new to the listener with each playback. The rich production and fine details guide us through arid, solitary lands, striking us like the midday sun in Death Valley.

Dancefloor Prophecies for humanity delivered by Detroit based spoken word artist Mike Ellison. Features a DJ tooled acapella to further spread the True meaning of Detroit Techno around the Galaxy.
Welcome return for this very sought-after rare electro 12' from tiny Harlem label Express Records. Big with the Cosmic crowd as well as on the early hiphop scene, this is an extremely cool low-slung synth-heavy electro groover with a hypnotically smooth lead vocal, given a sharp percussive edge by the rattling congas and ticky-time chorus. Written at a time in rap music history when the introduction of synthesizer technology created a wild flurry of creativity, this futuristic track by Barry Michael Cooper (who went on to write the screenplays for movies New Jack City and Above The Rim) was Teletron's only ever release. Film's gain was sadly music's loss as this was, and still is, a boundary-pushing, floor-filling monster. Don't sleep!
'Mirrorball' was a lost track from Caroline K who was a founding member of UK experimentalists Nocturnal Emissions. This track however was a much poppier affair which has drawn comparisons to New Order's 'Blue Monday' and is therefore seen as something of a lost classic. This new editions comes with a remix from Alessandro Adriani.
