25 jahre alt, geboren, aufgewachsen und beheimatet in berlin, aber zuhause im club. nitams debüt retold ep (u-ton 06) setzte 2015 bereits den ton – und hier sind wir nun also, drei katalognummern und 14 monate später mit seiner zweiten 12- auf unterton. dieses release verfolgt eine ähnliche linie wie schon sein erstling: neue, variierte sonische motive mit einem frischen gesamtklang. trotz seines noch jungen alters zeichnet nitam erneut sein interesse an dance music der späten achtziger und frühen neunziger nach, präsentiert sich geschult an klassischem detroit house und chicago acid house, ohne sich aber selbst auf eine bestimmte klangpallette zu limitieren oder gewisse musikalische erwartungen zu bedienen.

the third u-ton release enters the merry world of post-disco and proto-house, mirror ball fantasies, baby powder dreams and rays of sunshine. manhooker are guiddo (music) and mavin (vocals) who were brought to the attention of ostgut ton by nd_baumecker. wheels in motion and club anonymous both got the club remix treatment by rotciv (the rimshooters, mister mistery) who delivers clever and respectful dance floor adaptations without destroying their peppy pop appeal.

mark is releasing a new ep called integriert euch nicht.

on the fourth unterton release the black dog present a new sound somewhere between house and techno that the black dog call darkhaus. the original version of * council flat emptiness* is an infectious, futuristic, disco-tinged version of a progressive dancefloor workout bathed in strings, mellow melancholia and heavy bass. this is preceeded by a straight to the point stripped down version that multiplies the hypnotic elements of the original. on the b-side a 9-minute-30-something remix from luke slaters l.b.dub corp project drives the original into classic slater territory where techno and groove marry and electrify each other.
