We have been very busy around the office recently with a flurry of new releases and new talent. Most importantly we have an amazing new release coming from new comers Die Haustiere from Udine, Italy coming out on July 30th exclusively on Beatport. It also includes an absolutely incredible remix from Yasuharu Motomiya from Tokyo, Japan and a special surprise remix from Evan Scott.

We have also ushered in some new talent. Teef, from Dayton, Ohio, has been sending us absolute stormers. He will, without a doubt, be one to watch over the next year.

We also have some other new offerings on the way soon including:

Mossmoss - Self-Control EP
Evan Scott - Sphere Session One w/ remixes by Teef and The Librarian
Teef - The Substitute

And don't even get us started on what is coming this Fall. Look out.

We are well into the heat of summer and have an amazing new release coming from new-comers Die Haustiere from Udine, Italy entitled "Carpiato." It is scheduled for release on July 30th. With the coming release we wanted you all to know more about our new friends, Enrico Zaina and Marco Coccola, from across the Atlantic so we interviewed them [in both English and Italian.] Enjoi.

1. And how is the techno community in Italy these days?
The techno community in Italy has only stirred in Bologna Milano and Rome but it proceeds very slowly. There is not much of a techno community in Italy anymore.

2. How did you all get into techno?
We were made aware of techno at the age of 15/16 thanks to nearby Germany. After our first rave, we immediately fell in love with the techno movement there in the 90’s. In Germany, techno was more important than rock music.

3. How do you approach making music? What is your main inspiration to start working on a track?
The inspiration for various tracks depends upon our mood. If we are in a good mood, the song writes itself. However, if we are depressed it slowly proceeds. Also some beers. And why not? It helps with inspiration.

4. Who are some of the people that you would say that have influenced your current sound the most?
The producers and DJs that have influenced our sound the most are without a doubt the greats: Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, and Sven Vath.

5. Where do you see yourselves as musicians and humans in about ten years? Any wild dreams?
We hope to expand on our passion for music with hopes to achieve a middle to upper level in the techno community so as to transmit our sound throughout the world. We also hope to live well with a girl and perhaps start families.
The wild dream would be to perform with our idols Richie, Ricardo, and Sven. Perhaps thrown by RaceCarProductions?

1. E come è la comunità di techno in Italia attualmente?
La comunità Techno in Italia si è mossa solamente nel 2007 con qualche evento nella zona di Bologna Milano e Roma ma procede molto lentamente, non c'è ancora la cultura Techno in Italia.

2. Come siete entrato nel techno?
All età di 15/16 anni grazie alla vicina Germania ci siamo subito innamorati della Techno, movimento che negli anni 90 in Germania era importante più della musica Rock.Frequentando i primi Rave tedeschi ci siamo avvicinati a questo genere.

3. Come vi avvicinate a fare la musica? Che cosa il vostro inizio principale di ispirazione sta lavorando ad una pista?
L'ispirazione per una traccia varia soprattutto in base all'umore... se siamo in forma la canzone è immediata se invece siamo un po depressi procede lentamente... e perchè no ... anche qualche birra in più aiuta molto ad essere ispirati.

4. Chi sono alcuna della gente che direste che quello ha influenzato il vostro suono corrente più?
I dj che influenzano il nostro sound sono senza dubbio il grande Richie Hawtin Ricardo Villalobos e Sven Vath.

5. Dove vi vedete come i musicisti ed esseri umani durante circa dieci anni? Dei sogni selvaggi?
La nostra passione per la musica ci vede fra dieci anni raggiungere un livello medio alto, con la speranza di trasmettere il nostro sound nel resto del mondo, mentre come lato umano speriamo di vivere bene con una compagnia e perchè no ,anche con qualche bambino..
Il sogno selvaggio sarebbe di partecipare ad un grande evento musicale oltre oceano targato “RaceCar”con i nostri idoli Richie Ricardo e Sven .

The first single for The The Librarian's EP came out last summer titled The Hornet's Nest. After about a year of waiting we finally get to peer into the rest of the box. The Librarian's first EP entitled The Colony will arrive on May 7th, 2008 on Beatport. It features an exclusive remix by JPLS from Minus that has already received play from such visionaries as Troy Pierce and Ambivalent.

The weather is getting warmer and we have some amazing new releases coming from new comers Die Haustiere from Udine, Italy and New Models from Washington, D.C. that features Outputmessage from Ghostly International on the way. We also anticipate new releases from your favorite RaceCarProductions artists such as bernstein and Evan Scott coming soon.

We have been waiting and waiting for the first bernstein EP and it is finally here! We think you will find it has been worth the wait. It's an absolutely incredible release that is already working dancefloors all over the United States and Japan. What are you waiting for, go get it now at Beatport.

This Winter we also have new releases coming from The Librarian and Francium on the way. Additionally, we just got what seems like some exciting news at the office. More on that later.

Evan Scott was featured in Cincinnati's CityBeat a few weeks ago. The article was beautifully written by Ryan McLendon, a budding young writer. The issue probably can't be found on newstands anymore but if you haven't checked out the article it can be found on CityBeat's website.

In other news, the long-awaited 4th AERO mix has finally been posted. The mix is entitled ScienceRock2007 and is spun up by newcomer Kyle Cannon, a long-time supporter in the Cincinnati scene. Head on over to the Releases section to download this fantastic mix.

Also keep an eye out for the new Monocle single entitled Something to Say. We just received it at the RaceCar office and we stayed up until 3:00 am blasting it. On a school night! Keep your ears to the ground on that one.
