due to the wish of the fans we release here a second limited vinyl with microtrauma, collecting some of their finest tracks never released before on vinyl. the 4 track ep starts with >reflection<, a mighty tune. the track is built musically on a sophisticated layering of intricate sounds that are counteracted by slashing snares and stiletto sharp sequences which allows a fine blend of techno with melodic structures. it is for sure by its nature a true voyage, a trip to higher meadows ... or maybe even follows a mission.

it is a cold dark winter – snow is lying everywhere. simon12345 and the lazer twins are heading up north into a little wooden house in the northern parts of denmark. they will live there for the next weeks and build up a temporary studio in this secluded cottage. simon has got a handful of sketches with him. musical states of mind and conceptual games he developed over the last years. basically the idea is to develop something truly unique and powerful – although none of them knows how that will sound exactly or what will happen in particular during this time. it is not even clear who plays which instrument, who will do what…nothing is set. the only thing clear is that they have things to say, things that have been burning in them for so long now. tell me. how can (mostly) instrumental music suggest a way of life? how can you criticize without pointing at something particular? how can music transport you into place of quietness and self reflection?

100% silk begs and pleads for all things octo – that eight-sided honest octagon: sweet, sad, shy, hopeful, blissful, light, lifting, longing. going deeper, swelling higher than his first >let me see you< 12 inch, >oh love< unifies touching human experience with technology, sound, and rhythm in a totality of vision.

with their feet firmly positioned on dutch soil, the heads and hearts of dam swindle are nonetheless rooted deep into the soul of the motor city, and this ep of finely crafted grooves on jimmy posters and huxleys fledgling saints & sonnets imprint is as brilliant a reflection of their obsession as you could expect. >the wrap around< combines a killer vocal hook with a silky line, but its the bassline that marks it out, coming in with a thudding bassline that twists itself into all manner of unfiltered goodness at the halfway point. >pain tomorrow< meanwhile prefers to let its skipping percussion do the talking with a bumping chord led groove that would put mcde to shame. the ep is rounded off with a killer remix of the title track from deleusions of grandeurs pattern select, turning in a sparse reworking which transforms the light original into a throbbing piece of basement house.

there. is. nothing. better. than. a. clear. blue. sky. after the storm. taken literally, the track listing for barems debut lp represents that fleeting moment when nature puts its house in order, when calm and clarity triumph over chaos. of course it also works perfectly as a metaphor for those fuzzy moments of self-reflection while sprawled on a hotel bed after another mind-blowing night at the controls, or while taking stock of a musical journey thats about to culminate in a debut album for the internationally renowned label that motivated you to start making music in the first place. this is the vinyl version of barems debut album, with five specially edited tracks for all vinyl-lovers

who am i? thats what ruede hagelstein asks himself when he looks at the reflection in the mirror every morning when he gets up. then the image goes into the studio and produces tracks for upon you for him. the first one sings >give a little slap to your soul< darkly and romanticly at a relaxed 120 bpm into the mike and has taken up lodgings on a1 of our uy 047. the second plays piano, even if just paraphrased. the b1 beat requires a slightly faster dancer that a1. then the third member of the group on b2 with a quite definitive minimal touch, sounds a bit like peter and the wolf at the lsd opera … hop hop off you go then my lovelies.

the first solo ep by diego morales is a colourful result of all his influences and experiences and a true reflection of his great dancefloor knowledge. it is dirty and rough, heavily rhythmical, extremely musical, playful and full of the locura (crazyness) technotracks need and we nowadays miss so much. this dark adventure, full of magic, groove and imagination is another comeme production beyond thwe cliches of what is supposed to be latin.

nice price deal !!! aka jks first release on throne of blood is a reflection of years in basement with sequencers, apartments with macintoshes, van front seats with laptops and international flights with xanex and most importantly his long-standing friendship with the rapture boys, culminating in this vito roccoforte produced stinger. its a world-wide dedication to all his dj friends who rock it out night after night, luring people from their broadband lives to sweat it out and transcend in clubs, bars on beaches and venues across the planet.

hot new remixes by electric indigo, mutron and akiko kiyama. moonraker has become an ep that is among the best house music has brought us last year. (mix mag). the original house mix, which is a deliciously nasty reflection of the outfits sinister electrohouse sound. the rather minimal introduction is soon enough spiced up with a clash of synths that sound industrial and melancholic at the same time, thereby creating a dreamy and utterly brilliant vibe as spacey as spacey can be. it s proggy, it s electro, it s on the edge of deep house too, but above all, it s absolutely amazing. frank muellers america mix takes care of the final remix with a more uptempo and more towards progressive club rocker featuring brilliantly sampled vox, shifting synths and lots of deep sound waves. whereas the previous two tunes engage on a hypnotic trip, this one shoots the listener even further beyond the stars right into the unknown depths of space. the uptempo rhythm is what makes this track an absolute insane piece of progressive/deep house music, and therefore a definite must-have. you simply can not afford to let this ep pass you by. 365 mags absolute number one ep of this autumn, and unlikely to be bettered this year.

observation document #01 is the first part of a 2 ep series with giorgio gigli on prologue. the concept of this ep shows a wide range of electronic music designed between techno, atmospheric minimal music and abstract house. every track has his own characteristics but all together they show us how electronic music must be designed at the moment. raveline magazine: record of the month
