MARIEU (Restoration) and LUCRETIO (Mixworks / Restoration) a.k.a. XENOGEARS are the founders members of the assault unit RESTORATION, one of the last indipendent underground labels of the planet. They are true defenders of vinyls and the worst enemies of digital downloads; from 3 years they have been resisting in Berlin, where with there 8 releases had already imposed their message made of pure analogue techno. Techno that comes from Chicago House music, from Larry Levan..s disco, from George Clinton..s funk, from Miles Davis..s jazz; in a few words, uptempo danceable R&B music. Deeply inspired by Jeff Mills and Theo Parrish, they use their analogue sound to bring the order into the confused dancefloor of the world. Actually LUCRETIO and MARIEU are pledged in a new project called ANALOGUE COPS, more dub and deep house oriented but always deeply influenced by their passion for american music. Their productions are appreciated and played by djs such as James Pennington, Alan Oldham, dj Buzz Goree, Ame, Santiago Salazar, Eddie Flashin Fowkles, Rick Wade, Pacou, Mad Max, Patrice Scott and Marcel Dettmann. They have 8 releases out on 12" on their own label RESTORATION distributed exclusively by Diamond and Pearls Berlin. Lucretio..s track on RST006 appears now on TAMA SUMO..s Mix CD for Panorama Bar. They collaborate with MIXWORKS Detroit and oLucretio produced the first two eps on the label, including the hit track BERLIN DUB featured on Fabric Mix CD mixed by Ame. Lucretio has also one remix coming out on Ilario Alicante..s new imprint DEEP MOVES. They have played at loveparade 2006, Tresor Berlin, Maria Berlin, Tape Club and Panorama Bar. They were touring in Detroit in september 2006 and we play in different electronic club in Italy together with artists such as Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, James Pennington, Alan Oldham, Onur Ozer, Damian Schwartz, Paul Randolph, Paco Osuna, Tyree Cooper and many more. In July 2009 they made their first record label party in the legendary Tresor bunker.
