“What we’re doing is like planting trees all over the world, but far more important.” – Tiga

Planet Turbo has transcended the notion of world-tour, it has gone beyond showcasing individual talent; moreover, it has served as a palpable reminder to all electronic music enthusiast that there is only room for one label in the top-drawer of our beloved genre. The purpose of this brief foray will be to catch you up on the recent going-ons down in Montreal, where the Turbo brain-trust are casually putting work before sleep, on a consistent basis.

Rewind back to April 29th, when Tiga and his goon-squad (which included the likes of Erol Alkan, Riton, Zombie Nation, Proxy & Thomas Von Party – no big deal, right?) stopped off in Rotterdam, Holland to kick off the first stop of their 2010 world tour. Needless to say, this event crippled the will of those in attendance, and sent some very meaningful shockwaves throughout the entire electronic aristocracy. Turbo was here to claim 2010 as their own, and from there, global metropolitan strongholds like Glasgow, London, Madrid, Sydney, Montreal, etc. were lined up like Jenga pieces in front of a wall of Marshall monitors (à la the Justice promo photo).

As you may, or may not know, Turbo was recently kind enough to release an entire EP showcasing some of the most well-received bombs of the Planet Turbo world tour. This can be purchased at the Turbo shop, available right HERE. There, you will also find some of the label’s latest releases including Azari & III’s Indigo EP, Boy 8-Bit’s Yard Birds EP, and the most recent, released today, Discosamurai’s Yes & No EP. In addition to these latest works, Turbo has provided you with three no-charge downloads via their Soundcloud account to prove to the consumer that they aren’t capitalist vampires (see below). Pay particular attention to the Deepgroove remix of Sei A, which could possibly be one of the best free tunes ever released.
