Support the label, buy it here: https://planetxsociety.bandcamp.com/album/strasse-e DJ Rush is without a doubt one of techno’s most colorful artists. Born in Chicago, he forged his identity through a unique "rhythmic & drums" signature — relentless shuffle beats and pounding percussions that could be recognized instantly. No one delivered that groove quite like Rush. But it wasn’t only the drums that defined his sound. His raw, ruthless vocals became just as iconic, whether shouted live over the microphone during his DJ sets or pressed into his legendary releases, which quickly turned into highly sought-after vinyl among techno collectors worldwide. Artist: DJ Rush Title: Strasse E Label: Planet X Catalogue: PX023 Genre: Electronic Style: #Techno Release date: March 26, 2026 Follow #DJRUSH here: https://soundcloud.com/dj-rush-official https://www.instagram.com/majorrush/ https://www.facebook.com/Isaiah.Major https://pl.ra.co/dj/djrush Follow #PlanetX here: https://soundcloud.com/planetxsociety https://www.instagram.com/exos_planet_x/ https://www.facebook.com/planetxsociety https://twitter.com/planetxsociety The major breakthrough came at I Love Techno 2001, where Rush delivered what many still consider one of the most unforgettable "Hard Techno" sets ever played. The recording of that night circulated widely — distorted, rough and heavier than anything heard before. Rush pushed every track to the limit, running the turntables at +8 pitch, far beyond what most techno DJs dared to play. This raw intensity helped shape the sound that would later be known as Schranz, in its pure underground form. In the early 2000s, a whole generation of German hard techno was driven by DJ Rush like never before. In 2001, Rush also received the "German Dance Music Award", further cementing his status as one of the most influential figures in European techno. 25 years later, Exos, founder of Planet X and an old friend of Rush, was listening to an early 2000s DJ Rush mix while walking in the park when something unexpected caught his ear — an unknown Rush track buried inside the mix. After digging deeper, it became clear that the track had never been released. Rush later managed to locate the original DAT tape in his archive and delivered the lost recording. Together they decided it was time to finally bring the track to light, accompanied by a remix package from some of techno’s finest artists, each offering their own interpretation of this hidden gem. “Strasse E” is dedicated to the legendary club Strasse E in Dresden, one of Rush’s favorite venues — and remarkably, a club that is still open today. A long-lost treasure from the golden era finally resurfaces. Tracklist: 1. Strasse E (Original Mix) 2. Strasse E (Disguised Remix) 3. Strasse E (Cleric Remix) 4. Strasse E (Regent Remix) 5.
