"The first Dekathlon Records Compilation is the Track-selection of the most essential Dekathlon tunes (Cat. No. 001 to 013). Most was only available on Vinyl so far. The compilation shows that Dekathlon has become an important pacemaker in electronic music. Starting with the first Dekathlon release, the instant smash hit 'The Fake' of the New York Man Machine My Robot Friend, also known as songwriter for the Pet Shop Boys (q.f. Groove Mag. Interview Jan. 04), up to the latest 2004 releases of artists like NAM:LIVE, the electro hip hop crew from Montreal, or Duniz & Henrixx, this collection gives a good overview on the past work and the future direction Dekathlon is heading to: Don't copy, create!"

"Dekathlon Records strikes again with this dancefloor smashin', heavy rotation 12" vinyl, containing 3 versions of this tight 'Zombie Killah'. My Robot Friend the mysterious man-machine from New York is presenting his (very humanlike) voice on the Cut. For the Remixes DJ Naughty and DJ Chrysler could be pledged and they did a fantastic job."

"Generation Aldi, the unloved bastard of Bülent Kullukcu's liaison dangereux with MTV-Generation is dirty, aggressive pop-music. Retro-flavored synthlines over bass-heavy electro/techno-tracks with strangely distorted, uncomfortable lyrics. Kullukcu, whose parents are Turkish first-generation immigrant-workers, likes to call it 'subtly' political. Their on-stage show features Jugo-chick dancing girls, VJ Kaundown (Console) and Albert Tempel, a charismatic singer whose background is rather unusual. He scored well in a number of competitions which where thought as a piss-take of the European Song-Contest and proved himself in various TV and movie productions before he got to meet Kullukcu. His unique style flirts with the likes of Bowie, Iggy Pop and is mixing German and English lyrics like Falco. Kullukcu the bass machine from the depths of Istambul's Kasbah provides the Aldi-beat to it. The current album Mini System represents the artists diversified background ranging from post-punk and ambient songs to EBM and nu-electro tracks. Broken synthesizers, squared appegiators, funky guitars and toy instruments for a trashed generation."
