sydneys excellent death strobe label return with another surprise! there is just no pinning these boys down as they chalk up another fine addition to an increasingly vivid and varied catalogue.
this new black strobe ep is the starter for a new album announcing in 2013. black strobe new band, new sound and new boogie! sexy & smart remixes from nu disco producers all over the world.
did you ever hear about christian strobe? no? hardly surprising, cause its a brand new solo-project by christian schnall, one half of disco trash music (maximal electro) and spruce (dreamy shoegaze). the german guy is musically rooted in the 80ies and early 90ies and as christian strobe, he combines airy new wave pop, retro-futurism with a pinch of house. the original mix of >midnight call< is full of magic, desire and an airy atmosphere, but still a simple pop song. the nightdrive version is recommended for nightly rides with your ferrari testarossa through big city lights. the italo-disco-pop-masters from codebreaker gives the original a funky french taste and reknowned keenhouse conjured a good-feeling remix with lovley summer-piano-chords. midnight call? you could name it sunshine call! in a more and more digital environment, the warmth of the analog vhs-tape version gives you the relaxing mood you need. the placid >lonesome astronaut< completed the debut-ep and takes you to a cosmic trip though time and space. stay tuned for the upcoming full-length album called >heartworks< in autumn 2011.
comes with code for free digital download of this release.

the original mix of someone by jona, sees him utilizing his trademark weird as you like sounds n snippets combined with some otherworldly haunting noises, making this a true connoisseurs dream, phucked up as hell, but groovy nonetheless. claude vonstroke (check his fabulous deep troat release on dirty bird, now coming out dj sneak remixes through ministry of sound) gets his hands dirty with a lowdown dubbed out lektro house workout, which stays cool until a freaked out intermezzo after which all mayhem breaks loose… plays by damian lazarus, djulz, hipp-e, graig richards, geoffroy (hi-phen), mandy, dennis ferrer, mazi, justin martin, dan ghenacia..

* the production duo behind the rave-new world sounds of turbo mitzi and big slug (feat. riko dan) have been busy in the studio recently and return to form with 2 killer cuts designed to shock out the dancefloor. * ’control’ picks up the tempo from the duos previous cuts, rolling at 140 beats per minute, in it’s apocalyptic form. powerful pads create the tension before sub-heavy kicks and cybernetic snares come pounding and chopping in, building up the mood before a radioactively charged reese-bassline emerges, rising to the surface, unleashing its terror. this is a stone-cold banger. * strobe light’ returns to the more familiar 128bpm tempo that the pair have previously worked with. taking a quite unique approach, ‘strobe light’ builds evermore, moving into the light, layering percussion up as an intoxicating drone of swirling strings swells and swells - entrancing and empowering in equal measures. this is a highly versatile dj tool that also makes for an engrossing listen from start to finish. refined dancefloor ear candy. dj support: mary ann-hobbs. modeselector, daniel avery.

the second release we do with french artists upwellings aka vincent raude who is professor of modern art at the academy of brest and has been recording music since 1996. his ep comprised two tracks. a-side >dubbin at the strobe< feat. michael zerang shows a nice interaction of drums and sounds developing a profound deep mood. drum parts were recorded in chicago by michael zerang, a real jazz legend who played a lot with peter brötzmann and joe mcphee, hamid drake. the flip side >lighthouse dub< has the aura of an place which is extremely isolated. the sound is at times extremely pulled back and melancholic and holds a sentiment that reminds us a bit of joy divisions >we are the young men<. the track undergoes a transformation beatwise when going more uptempo.

sun is his debut release - a driving disco-house jam written over a glorious sydney summer with axe provided by ghostwoods paddy harrowsmith and cutters records house legend nile delta on production duties. the ep neatly ties together the various influences and vibes that have inspired ash in his never ending tumble down the rabbit hole of techno. dark yet happy, serious but fun ... the stuff they call dance music!
originally from time bandits >shooting love< shows perfectly mustangs musical obsession for italo, disco, early house & classic pop music. the remix package comes with an uplifting acid techno style remix from black strobe.
from the very start, track one the first thirteen minutes of love opens the album with over ten minutes of ambient unlike anything you’ve heard in years, a long, elegiac composition somewhere between carl craig and the chill-out zone at a bygone rave. it’s a warning: take a deep breath before being swept away by eight tracks that span detroit and berlin, front 242 and carl craig, linking them via soaring trance, carefully-crafted minimal, the sound of the 90s, the sound of the new millennium. it’s hard to imagine the strike force and heart pangs it will inevitably inflict on any club in the know
