First of all a little report ! ++*+* TECHNOMANIA 20. PARTY *+*++ Munich,Germany - 4th of September 1993: The biggest rave ever held in germany, the 20. TECHNOMANIA PARTY. Over 20000 raver dancin' on 5 (!) different dance- floors. DJs: WESTBAM,DICK,TANITH,MARCO ZAFFARANO,MARK SPOON,ROK,JENS LISSAT and many more (30 at all!). Live: ILSA GOLD, GENLOG, RAVERS NATURE, JAYDEE etc The party was a big success at all, the sound system and the huge light and tv equipment does its work very well. I never heard such powerful basses be- fore. The only problem: With 5 dance- floors you'll miss always the music from the other 4 dancefloors.

Vortex/Bronx Zadub/Desire Zerox/Iris Total : 36 Voters MUSIC REVIEWS ************* ILSA GOLD 'Up' -------------Main Frame Recs Vienna----- Frontpage Mag said: This is real art. I can only agree with this. There are four songs on the EP. The most popular is UP. It begins slow with voice samples. After that the tempo accelerates and the group show, that they can program the TB 303. Buy this record or leave Techno Scene! RATING: 9 of 10 (SMC) LOOPZONE '404' ------------------------MfS Records----- The Cover is nice, the songs aren't. The 2 Sides are entitled as 'Side for boys' and 'Side for girls'. They are both --> ... very good. All 4 tracks are fast with nice drum sequences and few voice samples. 'Mega Htz' uses very high bleep synthies and 'Highway 2000' is my favou- rite song on the EP. RATING: 8 of 10 (SMC) SUBLIMINAL EXPERIMENTS 'Acid Vinyl' ------------------Laserdance Recors----- Yeah I like those Acid-Like-Speed Techno 4 Tracks, all supported with 303 speed Sequences. 'Mininal Experience' is the MAXIMAL Experience you could get. Its monotone 303 sequences and the speed variations make this track so wonderful. I suppose this Rec makes it's way to the Hardcore Charts. RATING: 8 of 10 (SMC) HARDSEQUENCER 'Amiga EP' -----------------------Fire Records----- This record is not only titled Amiga, nearly all is made with it. The Song 'Brain Crash' begins with samples from the old BRAINSTORM MegaDemo and it is the hardest track. But the others are extremely good. If you like AmigaTechno then get and buy this piece of Vinyl. RATING: 9 of 10 (SMC) LUNATIC ASYLUM 'A.L.S.O.' -----------------------Fnac Records----- This may was the best track in summer this year. Its a very powerful and long song with pushing bassdrums and hard synthies. Buy or die. RATING: 9 of 10 (SMC) Dear Readers, +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ AbYsS wishes you a nice XMas 1998. And: we give ya the first issue of the SWAP AND DANCE charts. Why SWAP & DANCE ? We wanted to create a little chart mag with 2 main topics: SWAPPING & MODEM and MUSIC. So we made this little piece and added some other more popular charts like BEST GROUP etc We dont want to compete against the big diskmags, we want to bring you a little chartmag, with information & stories about the techno-scene. We know that not everyone likes techno or dancemusic but may you like this piece of bytes too.
